A lot of RAMBLING.............

I read the first few pages and could not believe that I have been cheated by the title of the book, as well as the first reviewer. I actually read the first review again and then compared to that at the back of the book and my assumption is that the first reviewer (A reader) is somehow connected to the benefit from this book.

If you have read the book then you will understand my subsequent statement. After reading the book I feel exactly like a donkey carrying a load of speeches with no wise content. Too bad I have wasted my money. It is like listening to a hypomanic (mild) patient talking. I thought with more recent congress the author should get better but it is just the same. I lost my patience and threw the book on page 190.

Hopefully others will be careful before ordering this item.

the origin of harmonious health-one's own inner being

This is not a kind of mystical cookbook containing various recipes designed to provide a Sufic cure for earache, nosebleed or headache. "The Sufi Tradition contains techniques, energies, and applications of therapy, but the Tradition itself is not a therapy". We see in this book a kind of dialogue working itself out between a contemporary Sufi teacher and a number of therapists who are seeking to reinforce their fragile time-based scientific disciplines with a way of knowledge and wisdom that has existed in many differant guises from the dawn of man. Omar Ali-Shah's words here are practical, concrete, and also analogical; even repetitions in this book throw light on the way a preconceived attitude or conditionings can lead people into imbalance and illness. But the author puts it very clearly: illness is a distortion, not an inevitable state; every person secretes some form of self-improvement and the job of the therapist is to connect the patient's own energy to his science. The enemy can be overcome
