Sense of live

Dan Millman

The Laws of Spirit: A Tale of Transformation – this book was written in 1998. Couched in an entertaining story about Dan’s encounter with a mysterious woman sage in the mountains near his home, The Laws of Spirit conveys simple yet powerful truths for living wisely and well — in alignment with the universal laws that govern our lives, including the laws of balance, choice, process, expectation, presence, integrity, compassion, surrender, and unity.

“The Laws of Spirit” is a wonderful tale through which the author has woven 12 essential laws to live by – laws that, when brought to our awareness, and utilized, can literally change your life! The story is based around a man who has recently begun both a physical & spiritual journey, and the sage he meets along the way. This sage teaches him about each of the 12 laws, providing wonderful examples & showing him how to apply each one to every-day life. I love that each “law” is explained in “down-to-earth” language and that, due to the examples given, it becomes quite easy to see how they can be used to better our lives on a day-to-day basis. “The Laws of Spirit” is a relatively small book, as it can easily be read in 1 or 2 sittings. However, I would suggest either keeping the book handy so that you can re-read it, or taking some notes so that you can easily be reminded of the many insights given. (I chose to take notes, so it took me a little bit longer to finish the book – but I now have the info. I need to put into practice all that I learned). Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in spirituality & personal growth. It’s an easy, interesting read, that is jam packed with wonderful insights.

Many of you will know Dan Millman for his Way of the Peaceful Warrior, or perhaps one of his other many books. I’ve read a good number of them myself. But for its easy reading, its graceful approach, and its universal laws condensed, The Laws of Spirit is my favorite of all his titles. Standing in line with that ancient tradition of sharing truths through fable, the book tells of a fantastic Millman adventure; with his family away for a few days, the author heads out for a day-long hike into the nearby hills, and there he meets with a sage who extends his intended time away. In the course of a few days, she shows him all the most important laws of Spirit, and makes them real for him through immediate experience. These laws begin and end with the important principles of balance and unity; but they also cover so many others that can transform lives: choice, process, presence, compassion, faith, expectation, integrity, action, cycles, and surrender. They’re all here, and explained with humor, and with real art – this is the most beautifully written of all Millman’s work! I’m also a fan of the short and sweet – something people can use in our hurried world to slow themselves down just a little, and to get a real gem out of reading in those spare moments. The book itself is a lightweight champion, easy to keep on hand; each chapter is about eight pages, simple to tackle over breakfast, on the bus, wherever. It sort of kicks our excuses in the rear. Each chapter is poignant, and really filled with wisdom – almost like a book of wise quotes, so focused is the writing. But meanwhile, one enjoys the tale itself. Written as a tale like this, I believe it is also a book that would be well received by those who are looking for Spirit, but who don’t want to be shocked by the more outrageous or risqué ideas available. So if you have a friend that you’d like to share some beauty of Spirit with, this could be your title. Wonderfully written, entertaining, a real gem among works. The Laws of Spirit is one for everybody’s shelf.
