hello!
I'd be glad to hear your personal experiences on reading "Prophet's way". And of course I'll share some of mine...
I came upon this book couple years ago, started to read it and left it for a while...This winter I started to read it again and boy, oh boy, did it hit me...first of all I must say I was raised in catholic family, talk of Satan and gult and sin was part of my everyday living untill I've hit puberty....Today I consider myself a free thinker, believing in Universal Love, reincarnation, Godess & God in one...I know you probably ask yourself what this has to do with the book....patience my friends ...I'm strongly believing in freedom of expression and personal experience when it comes to spritual matters...so I'm not part of any religion or movement whatsoever...When I started to read a book it annoyed me a bit, Jesus this & that, Biblical quotes all over the place (I just waited for the author to pop out with some crazy ideas on saving our souls in only one way....I even thought this whole Herr Muller thing is probably some sort of cult....BOY WAS I WRONG....yeah, I got sack full of prejudice which free-thinker, open soul shoudn't have and I'm not very proud of...
After I while all my prejudices just melted away and finally I was open to recieve all the amazing messages this book has to give...first of all it makes me very, very uncomfortable....because I cannot just sit in my room, and read it and think it..."Prophet's way" is a book which screams to me "go, do something, some random act of kindness, anything", do something about it...yeah, it gives me an itch, awakens the desire (which blossoms in me since my childhood days) to get out of my little world and comitt myself to greater good through unselfish helping and possible unconditional love & sharing(which I still have to learn)...This book gave me a lession to always have open heart, to always believe in your own personal voice/intuition/higher Self... and most importantly: to seek for the knowledge outside, but to never forget the wisdom inside, which we all have and use so rarely...
And it scares me, also in positive way...after reading on Thom's experiences in Bogota, Uganda etc. I'll never be the same. For sure, this is not the first time I've heard about it, and it's not the first time I have a strong urge to do something, but there's just something so special and simple and cosmic about this book it just wrapps me in that dark, silent, vast place deep inside...a place called soul, emerged in peace....and everytime when I think how hard it is, my life conditions & all I just have to look the book and remember its message the way I percieve it: go ahead and do something good, something noble & truthful, and never forget, everything you need you have it inside yourself, therefore nothing is impossible & everything can be shared...
thank You mr. Thom Hartmann ;o)
Namaste!

"but to never forget the wisdom inside, which we all have and use so rarely..."
Started reading some pieces on Edgar Cacye last summer. Clearly it changed the way I looked at things. I was border line agnostic, having come from a fairly strict catholic up bringing. It finally dawned on me to read the Prophets Way, but I have only just started it.
Anyway, as to your comment above, I think we, or at least I, have allowed the constant drone of the media cycle, work and audio visual entertainment to drown out our inner voice and self. I think that is the place that I, and most, need to start.
Edgar Cayce noted that when he was areas of high density that it reduced or eliminated his abilities. Just imagine what surrounded our lives with this constant attack of waves is doing to our vibrations.
I just finished the book. I read it in chunks over three days. In between reading, I had to pick up rocks, feed chickens, sweep the floor, etc. which gave time to ruminate.
How has it changed me? I don't want to think about the answer. But I'm taking down the bagworm nests anyway. Maybe the laying hens will eat them???
