An amazing little book.

This is a unique and impressive book. Bill probably has one of the best descriptions of "mind" out there (and I've read Nisargadatta, Maharshi and Wilber). Bill's background in hypnosis has given him some unique insight into the inner workings of how our reality is presented to us through the paradigm of our mind. Bill's exercises for breaking this paradigm are similar to others that use breathing, watching one's thoughts and inquiry. While reading this book it's clear that Bill has been privy to something that is rarely experienced, that he has truly returned from the rabbit hole.

Excellent book! Explains life's deepest secrets...

I have read many many books on varying religions and philosophies including Buddhism, Sufism, self-realization, and New Age theories, etc. I have traveled to India, Nepal... I consider myself to be an avid seeker of the truth (what ever it may be). I strongly recommend anyone who is searching for the 'truth' to read this book. A friend lent me it - I read it and every time I picked it up it gave me a strange vibration. After returning the book to my friend I ended up ordering a copy for myself to reread. This book explains all of life's deep mysteries, reality, reincarnation, perception, life, death, truth, etc... Strongly recommended.

At Last

This is the book I have been waiting for, ...for years, even though I didn't know what I was looking for until I found it. Having felt spiritually stuck for too long it seemed, and after reading a long run of regurgitated philosophy with New Age euphemisms and spins, William Cozzolino's book has given me that rare "Aha" feeling over and over, from page to page. I'd forgotten what it felt like to take a big, spiritual leap. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Doesn't it seem as if we're forever getting ready? But "The Path" is my long-awaited teacher and catalyst, as it is now for many. It has changed me since that first "Aha" and keeps changing me from moment to moment, as a new way of thinking runs in my mind's background. I catch myself looking at the universe, the unfathomable ALL in a different way. New knowledge and insights are a wonderful adventure for spiritual seekers. And "The Path" was very much worth the wait.Tara Pierce - Astro Star

A leading New Age magazine reviews The Path

This is a fascinating and mysterious book. It is a dialogue between Master and Student, though the reader is never told who the identities of either are. A chat with the publisher revealed that the questions are actually from a group of students, asked of their Master; an elderly Chinese woman, who insisted on anonymity. The Master's answers seem to reflect the Taoist-Buddhist spirit and are spoken from the depths of wisdom, though somewhat esoterically. The reader is always reminded that being in a state of Balance is the goal of all spiritual practice. Speaking of happiness, peace within, and The One, she says: There is nothing that is out of place, for even though we are the creators of our movie, the Balance of The One remains. There is nothing external that will change this fact. There is no external place of perfect happiness for us. Balance is within. Peace is within. Happiness is within.The Master's voice is steady and strong when speaking on subjects like: The mind and Mind, Paradigm Limits, Maya, Meditation, and The Movie will End. In replying to a question about meditation, the Master says: The practice of meditation increases your balance. It gives you practice in the process of recognizing, merging, and returning....it produces a kind of stillness, yet in the stillness there is motion. The dialogues in The Path cover almost every conceivable topic and sometimes detail esoteric practices. Though the talks at times may get bogged-down in technical detail, the essential message is always clear: to realize Truth here and now, and that this state is always free of effort and thought.

On to New Growth

I am currently in the process of reading and reviewing The Path for use in our first year class at the Baltimore Spiritual Science Center. Your book is absolutely wonderful! It ties in with several other textbooks we use already.I must say, this book has pushed me past my current "slow growth" period into another "surge" period. I have read so many metaphysical and philosophy books over the past 14 years and I was beginning to think that there was nothing left to stimulate my craving for knowledge. It has given me a way of looking at these concepts from a whole new perspective. Now I am in the process of integrating your thoughts and ideas from The Path, into what I have learned so far. It's a wonderful feeling. Thank you. Rev. Joyce Klein, Baltimore Spiritual Science Center
