A tiny, powerful book
June 30, 2006 | 7:07 pm
At 36 teeny, tiny pages, it’s hard to believe that “The Law of Success: Using the Power of Spirit to Create Health, Prosperity, and Happiness” could cover all (ok, I know better than to use that word…seemingly all) of the concepts other writers spend 200-300 pages on. But, it does.
Written by Paramahansa Yogananda, someone I am just learning about, it covers the basics of metaphysics/New Thought: You control your destiny, strive to see the image of God in all men, and believe that life is abundant. Each topic in the book, of course, is worth an entire book all its own, but as a quick overview that has amazing depth, it is quite the book. The author is also the founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship, and it should be interesting to see what else they have to offer. The mission of the organization seems to be at least in part to bring Eastern philosophy, knowledge, and teachings to the Western world. It seems more and more apparent that what some circles call “New Thought” is actually a way of thinking that has been around for eons.
