how to kill yourself and live forever - Rated
this book is self help of the most literal kind- you have do the work and re-read or you will not get it.

I have owned this book for 3 years and have practised the techniques on and off along with other various meditation / magick games for a long time and each time i read this book ii learn something new... that is the point of it.

as it says in the first chapter- this book is alive and will interact with you.

the message of the book is repeated plainly over and over in all the chapters and even the cover is a clue but for all those who consider it a joke or look too close for hidden mysteries you won't benefit and will only leave more of an unenlightened shlup then before.

the techniques are designed to destroy your muscular armour or habitual body tension and thus free you to meditate to deeper levels of stillness and to unpick the chains of your imprinted personality so as to be able to change and experiment and awake from the trap of society, goverment, religion, parents etc and become who you are: there are no guarentees.

it is best if you know a little about meditation before reading this book, at least have practise in breath counting, mantra, focus meditations so this can take you furthur.

dr hyatt expects his readers to interact with the writer and take nothing for granted and remember that words are lies and all facts are illusions unless their tested in the lab of your mind/body.

maybe reading something like robert anton wilson's 'cosmic trigger' might help to get you in the mood.

for those wiling to work and play hard you might just shoot the zombie and awaken the all seeing eye in the triangle. nothing above is true.

I would not recommend this book to anybody - Rated
...I had been lead to believe this was one of the modern classics of western occultism, I was thoroughly disappointed and could not understand why everyone had raved on about it. There are 5 meditation exercise in the whole book, that are not particularly original and I have done similar before. The other supposed exercises appeared amateurish and naïve or just stolen and badly interrupted Eastern mystic practice.

The whole book was simplistic and came across as almost childish, it has the writing style of a bitter and arrogate teenager. It was written in a highly condescending manor with a “holier than thou” attitude and was boarding on an unhealthy fanaticism and idolisation of Aliester Crowley (I studied Crowley in some depth and think the guy had some very interesting points and did a lot of very useful research but he is not worthy of idolisation, in fact no one is).

I would certainly not recommend it to anyone. The only use you may find in this book is if you are a complete new comer to the subject, but then it would give you a very warped view of modern occultism and send you off on the wrong path, that’s if it doesn’t put you off for good (neither a good thing) and if you are even a little experienced then this book has nothing of value to add to your knowledge or practice. There a dozens of better books on the market to help guide you. For example the above mentioned Prometheus Rising, or the works of Phil Hine.

I cannot understand why Bob Wilson and others have raved on about the book so much, if I have missed something please let me know!

Totally essential reading!!! - Rated
I have had this classic book six years now. I have to keep re-buying it as I give it away. I have re-read it many times and each time I discover more and more in it. I know of no other like Hyatt or this book. It, and the meditation exercises within, are quite simply brilliant. If you get the message Hyatt is transmitting your life will change - it has to.

To be is not to be!!! - Rated
Christopher Hyatt invades your ego and grows like a parasite. After a while, you fell your ego being eaten away, and realize it is not the author doing the eating, but yourself. If you are serious about attempting to gain control/release over oneself, please buy this book. Even the introduction by RAW is worth the cost. One thing is for certain, that you must do the exercises. You will see results.

Not for the average monkey- a great book! - Rated
A great book full of exercises I have used to help break free from cultural binds and experience pure joy. Written with a lot of humor, this book really gets you going. Similar to Robert Anton Wilson in humor, with lots of *interesting* pictures. A great buy!
