Meeting Presence.......2004-04-19

I am always amazed at the diversity of the awakening process. Here Master Chrales shares with us in his own unique style of expression ( he is very poetic ) the journey of awakening as it unfolded within him, whilst he was in the presence of the Great Master Baba Muktananda. Perhaps the uniqueness of the awakening process reflects the Unlimited potential that is Consciousness. As the Spiritual energy Kundalini Shakti awakens within a human being she takes one on a journey into the very depths of BEING , and the expression and dance of this process is always a creative and free. Here we are invited into the depths of awakened consciousness

Profound mystical experience by a westerner.......2002-08-09

My comparative religion professor included this book on a recommended reading list as an example of profound mystical experience written by a westerner. I have read fairly extensively in this field and consider the level of spiritual mastery expressed by Master Charles in this book to be a least on a par with the more profound examples of mystical realization I am aware of, both Eastern and Western. It is also a fascinating account of his may years in India under the mentorship of the renouwned Eastern master Paramahansa Muktananda.
Since he is a contemporary, living mystic, I took the opportunity to experience Master Charles in person and attended a meditation retreat with him at his Sanctuary in Virginia. There were about one hundred of us in attendance from all around the world. Several of us were first-timers and many of the others were regular attendees. From the start, it was evident that the level of realization he described in his book was authentic and palpable.
His daily dialogues on holistic reality were clear and precise, and while he is thoroughly conversant in empirical scientific knowledge, his own background in comparative religion and philosophy was quite evident. The contemporary form of meditation that he originated, Synchronicity technological meditation, is absolutely brilliant and is likely the most significant breakthrough in the art and science of meditation in thousands of years. Both the man and his work are on the level of genius.

I have met several authentic spiritual teachers, but none whose presence is so intoxicating, elevating and expansive. The peace, bliss and love that emanates from him, validates the depth of his mystical/spiritual realization more than his words. I was blown away and it was the same for everyone in attendance.
If you are interested in authentic spiritual/mystical experience beyond sectarianism, Master Charles Cannon is a magnificent (and available)living example. I definitely recommend reading his book. Also you may want to check out the website on his non-profit organization, Synchronicity Foundation:...and perhaps even attend one of his retreats. If you are a seeker of spiritual unforldment, don't miss out on an opportunity to experience the real thing.

This is the real thing.......2002-07-24

The Bliss Of Freedom - Reader Review

The Bliss of Freedom by Master Charles, chronicles the real-life story of a contemporary mystic from his earliest spiritual experiences as a child, through his years spent at the side of his teacher, the renowned Eastern master, Paramahansa Muktananda. Whereas other spiritual autobiographical accounts seem somewhat formulaic and sterile, I found this one to be authentically "real" as well as being a fascinating read from start to finish.

In this straightforward story, Master Charles focuses on personal, anecdotal experience and avoids falling into the trap of philosophical preaching or moralizing. We get a real insider's glimpse into day to day life around a very powerful Master and how the Master - disciple relationship transforms and awakens.

Seekers of truth will find much to consider here as the meditator's journey is detailed without sugar-coating or romanticizing. This book should be in every seeker's library.

Classic Story of Awakening.......2002-03-16

I discovered this book by "accident" from an ad in a magazine I found in a waiting room. Master Charles was a student of Muktananda whose name translates to "Bliss of Freedom". Thus the title is no coincidence. ...I find Master Charles experiences very familar. Both from my personal experience and the experiences I've heard or read from others. His is a classic story of the enlightenment adventure from the Hindu or Vedantic perspective.

Aside from experiencing the wonderfulness of Master Charles'adventure readers can gain spiritual/historical perspective by reading Muktananda's book about his own awakening adventure: "Play of Consciousness". Additionally, Franklin Jones (Da Free John) wrote about his experiences with Muktananda in his book "The Knee of Listening".

In summary, this book is a prototypic example of the adventure of awakening to our spiritual reality and an excellent read and addition to many seekers' spiritual libraries...

Danger.......2001-07-18

My sister sent me this book after hearing that I was going to my local church. She said that Charles had the "secret" of life - listening to clicks and clacks on a tape created by Charles to harmonize my brain. I find that MC got "it" and now lives in the hills with disciples, and teaches his reformated gnosticism to those tired of Shirley MacLaine, but not yet ready for Father O'Brien. I see the problem, but found this book very hazy and unfocused. Perhaps those better schooled in the new-age, the undefined words will make sense: unity of all things, the potential that lies inside of you, and so on. It reads like that Saturday Night Live guy wrote it. Enough incense-like words, and some undergraduates at odds with their parents will buy into it.

I see danger.

Women learn to choose clothes that mask their flaws--few are comfortable with the way their bodies look nude. Look Great Naked is an exercise and diet program emphasizing muscle toning for getting rid of those flaws. Fitness trainer Brad Schoenfeld, author of Sculpting Her Body Perfect, focuses on the "trouble zones"--abdominals, buttocks, and thighs. He recommends high reps (15-20) for definition without increasing muscle size. Although he admits there is no such thing as spot reducing--you can't trim fat from one area of the body--his targeted exercises define and tone those problem areas.

Schoenfeld recommends working each trouble spot for 15 minutes a day. The exercises are clearly explained and illustrated. Many exercises use health-club equipment, but you can work out at home with dumbbells, ankle weights, elastic strength bands, and an adjustable bench. Schoenfeld's nutritional program is higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates than most medical and dietary associations recommend. He includes 45 recipes, some from fitness models. This book lacks upper-body exercises, so it isn't a complete body sculpting program. But if you're looking for a variety of exercises for abs, buns, and thighs, you'll find them here. --Joan Price

Book Description

Certified Personal Trainer, Brad Schoenfeld is the leading expert on women's fitness and an author of over 100 articles in publications such as Fitness, Self and Shape.

He has written extensively on women's fitness and was the on-air consultant to "Fox on Health." Cited in such publications as The New York Times, Fit, Glamour and Self, Mr. Schoenfeld has appeared on CBS Evening News, CNN, UPN News, NBC Live at Five, Weekend Today, Good Day New York and on radio programs across the country.

In this illustrated guide, Schoenfeld helps women target body trouble spots and stay fit for life. Look Great Naked explains and illustrates the author's acclaimed High Energy Fitness system of training that gives every woman the ability to improve her appearance-and overall fitness. Both informational and inspirational, Look Great Naked provides cutting-edge advice to help a woman reach her physical potential. Also included are healthful recipes of top fitness models.

Best of all, Look Great Naked results can be achieved with only fifteen minutes of exercise a day.

The only sure fire way to lose weight and change your body.......2003-01-25

I bought another one Brad Schoenfeld's books and was really pleased with the exercises and attitude it presented. If you're really serious about changing the way you look, either of his books can get you started down the path to weight training. I really recommend anything he's written.

THIS BOOK IS AWESOME-IT REALLY WORKS!!.......2002-08-20

I have tried everything to trim and tone my body but nothing has given me results like this book has!!! I started noticing changes in my body in only two weeks. The exercises vary, so you don't get bored, and you only have to work out for 15-20 min. every other day. (they recommend 48 hrs rest between workouts in the book)!!! I LOVE IT!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO OTHERS!

Let The Facts Be Known.......2002-08-16

The author really sets some things straight and gives explanation of his findings against certain types of diet and "fat burners". Great lay out of the exercises and most include ways to work out at home!! This is what really sold me on the book.

A few useful tips, but ultimately not very helpful.......2002-08-07

This book provides some very general tips that are useful regarding reps, stretches, and exercises, but really fell short of what I was expecting. The author does have a very positive, energizing tone and is extremely encouraging, which is great. However, as other readers have noted, a huge portion of the book is recipes. Some of the recipes are very plain and uncreative (such as sprinkling fish with spices and broiling) and others are just unappetizing (like a salad comprised of beans, onions and chicken). Most are suggestions from bodybuilding professionals that have no body fat and big, bulky muscles. Personally, that wasn't the result I was looking for, so I found his suggestions too rigid to realistically implement in my everyday life. If you are looking to become a future Ms.Universe and want a strict plan that will help you lose all body fat, this is probably a great book for you. But if you're looking for some useful advice to tone up and a realistic plan that still allows you to eat like a normal human being, this may disappoint you. There are better books out there.

Subsribe to (insert fitness magazine here) instead.......2001-11-30

I was excited about getting this book...and then I was disappointed. Most of the exercises you need equipment for--therefore you can't do the variations that seem so essential for this to work. Secondly, there is no real formula for upping the cardio workout. It just didn't seem fair that my money went here instead of a charity.

Tribute for Ginny - The Dog Who Rescued 900+ Cats!.......2005-10-25

Ginny's unique talents in locating sick and injured cats had rendered her numerous appearances in CNN, Animal Planet and major news. Her rescue stories were illustrated by two national best selling books: The Dog who Rescues Cats and the Blessing of the Animals. Ginny passed away on August 25th, 2005.

With the passing of Ginny, her unfinished mission of cat rescuing is continued by her caretaker Philip Gonzalez everyday. A non profit organization, The Ginny Fund, has been established to raise fund for cat rescuing in Long Beach New York.

Our Kitty Saint has left us..........2005-08-27

Today's New York Daily News reported on the passing of Ginny, a/k/a the Mother Theresa of Cats, gone at the age of 17. She succumbed to old age yesterday afternoon on a blanket in Philip Gonzalez's care. As for Ginny's story, this is one of my favorite books. The stories are truly heartwarming and this book was a "gotta have it" purchase. Browsing the pet section in a local bookstore, I found this and it jogged my memory: Ginny's story was familiar to me due to a Reader's Digest article, but what happened next? This book captures all the tails...er, TALES, lol. I will definitely re-read this now. How could a dog love cats she doesn't live with? As a cat person, I've always been intrigued by this. How ironic that such incredible humanity could have come from one of god's furry creatures. Rest in peace, Ginny. Let us hope there are more of you in the world.

Absolutely wonderful.......2004-05-06

I read this book in one afternoon and handed it off to my husband, who could not put it down. I relate to the author in one respect: after having animals all my life, I connected with one cat so profoundly that I have devoted my life and work to alleviating animal suffering and overcoming the devastating problem of pet overpopulation. It's bittersweet. I love animals with a depth that is so satisfying, and enjoy human and animal company more than I ever was able. But I am now so attuned to animal suffering (generally due to human neglect or abuse -- I'm not trying to fight the forces of nature) that it is difficult to focus on anything else. Just read this book. It feels so good!

Who Would NOT Like This Book?.......2002-11-18

A continuation of a very sweet story. I have a few stray cats around my home and even though my inside cats aren't as willing to share as Ginny (LOL), I make sure to feed them and give them shelter. I highly recommend this book and also the one that came before it! (Not sure of the exact title).

BUY THIS BOOK!.......2001-01-06

Just as I feel about their first book, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this one too! Let's hope these true stories inspire others so be so kind. Enjoy.

per interim.......2007-01-20

Seidensticker is especially interesting when he describes that weird type: the interi, a type all too widespread.

Perspective on the Great Translator.......2004-12-24

Somehow I wound up reading the memoirs of Genji's translator before tackling Genji itself. Perhaps that alone is testament to the clear and interestling writing style of Seidensticker himself, one of the great observers of Japanese culture.

The story is much more than just about Tokyo, though. It starts in Colorado, weaves through his introduction to Japanese language through the US military in WW2, and only then hits his life in post-WW2 Japan during the reconstruction. It covers his introduction to Japanese fiction, as well as his translation. Finally, the book wraps up with his return to US, and introduction to academia.

The book reads rather well for the first biographical (autobiographical at that) work of a translator. Although Seidensticker made his name in translations, we also learn of his attempts at fiction and other writing.

Perhaps one complaint is repetitive word usage. For instance, the word "eminent" is very overused for such an "eminent" translator. I'd expect better. But that is not nearly enough to stop anyone from reading these memoirs.
