Funny how life leads you from one learning to the next...although I've been a student of spirituality for 20+ years and have read just about everything you can imagine in that time, I just happened across Marc Allen's "The Greatest Secret of All" about two weeks ago. In my own spiritual practice I have stirred together a comfortable mix of Buddhist, Quaker, Taoist, and naturalist techniques that have blossomed into a kind of sweet, grateful approach to life. This doesn't always mean I can create exactly what I'm hoping for, though, or that I really understand and can use my own creative power with any kind of intention.Marc Allen's book is short, but it is filled with just the right mix of "here's where you are" and "here's where you can go." He provides many practical how-to examples that offer real practices we can incorporate into our own meditation times. He also offers and builds on his own story of moving from a kind of floating, receptive condition to one in which he was literally creating the life he dreamed about. Now he trusts his own powers to create and outlines the process for us as well. I began incorporating his suggestions immediately and have already been seeing results in my life. After decades of exploring, learning, and practicing, and I am very thankful for this small book that offers us such a clear image of our own creative process!
