Are you experiencing rough times in your life? Are you seeking spiritual guidance? Do you need advice on how to control your negative thoughts? Do you need reassurance that you are not alone and that good deeds do not go unnoticed? Do you believe that human beings are all interconnected through spiritual, cosmic energy? If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, then this book might be for you.
The God Mind Principles by Krystyna Fowler and Phillip Fowler is a spiritual self-help book that contains 1,605 godly principles that will help you through life, particularly if you are going through a difficult time. The book is written in the first-person point of view. The authors explain the rules of how to read the text in the preface. The rest of the book, though, follows the point of view of the God Father and the Goddess Mother, as they address the reader mostly in unison. Overall, the text reads like an extensive list of commandments given by these holy entities. In the end, it includes instructions about how the reader should communicate with the God Father and the Goddess Mother through the Book of Locks (Journal).
What I liked the most about this read was that the reader could take a lot of transcendent advice from it. The book is non-denominational, so people from all religious backgrounds and who are non-judgmental could get guidance from it. The most important lessons that I took from it were about the self-examination and control of negative thoughts, the benefits of forgiving, the protection of the environment, the value of respect and tolerance among all, and how to elevate and trust the inner spirit.
Another aspect of the book that I found interesting was the emphasis the narrators make on the male and female alleged creators of the universe. The God Father and the Goddess Mother created everything, and the narrators want the reader to understand this statement. In one part, the God Father argues: “Our beloved, you must recognize, comprehend, and accept the fact that your spirit Mother is the Grand Matriarch of all creation, and I am the Grand Patriarch, whereby all creation is jointly created by us!” Besides stressing this point throughout the book, the narrators discuss numerous times the inequality that exists between men and women on our planet. They also argue that when this inequality ends and “women’s spiritual sensibilities and intuition” emerge from subjugation “a new phenomenon of world peace will arise.”
Even though I found some valuable advice and I thought the narrators make some thought-provoking claims, I did not like a couple of factors about this book. First, I did not like the format of the book because it does not have chapters. The reader has to read the long list of 1,605 divine principles. This method did not work for me, as I thought I was never going to end reading the text. Second, the narration from the God Father and the Goddess Mother threw me off. I am an open-minded person, but I remain a skeptic on godly entities talking through authors.
I rate The God Mind Principles by Krystyna Fowler and Phillip Fowler 3 out of 4 stars. The readers could take a lot of great spiritual advice from this book. Also, the editor did an excellent job because I did not find a single grammatical error. However, I did not like the format and the narration style. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy spiritual self-help books that follow the New Age trend of The Law of Attraction by Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.
