general

In the introduction of yet another insightful book from John McAfee we read, 'How we relate to experience---to suffering, love, death, loneliness and a host of other challenges life presents--defines who we are.' The Fabric of Self addresses one's relationship to the world and provides a means to pierce the veil of our own self-image.

The meditations in The Fabric of Self speak to the components of life, from awareness to love, from death to ego, and from ideals to truth. Each meditation is a bright light illuminating a path to immortality. For instance, 'Awareness is the fundamental force of change for the self. When we become aware, deeply and completely, of the attachments, prejudices, arrogance, bitterness, fears, and all other vanities that makeup our daily existence, then true change is realized.'

In the section devoted to Love, Mr. McAfee writer, 'Without love you are an empty shell. You may work, hope, dream, seek riches and power, but your conflicts and suffering will continue.' And on the subject of Healing we read, 'It is through questioning, with the burning desire to know the answer, that the truth is revealed. And it is ourselves whom we must question. This questioning of ourselves is the only road to a full healing of ourselves.'

John McAfee has taught self-discovery techniques for more than 16 years. His knowledge and abilities are rooted in truths that are 2500 years old. This reviewer suggests you read his other books, The Secret of the Yamas, Into the Heart of Truth, and Beyond the Siddhis (see my reviews) for additional insight about his wisdom.

The Fabric of Self, in this reviewer's opinion, is a door opener, and that door leads to a life of fullness and joy. Whether you keep this book on your coffee table or your night table, The Fabric of Self should be read daily!
