Transcending
the Maya Matrix: Using theSeven Simple Steps: Our Innate Guide to Co-Creation
and Self-Realization is a helpful book about spirituality written by Omar M. Makram.
The book is divided into two parts. Part I
is divided into two chapters and Part II is divided into seven
chapters.
It is written to teach the readers how to
uncover their Innate
Guide. According to the book, the Innate Guide is
the force that guides the Universe. It is in everything. Therefore, it is
inside us. We can tap into its knowledge and be guided by its wisdom.
The author offers seven principles to
unveil the Innate
Guide. He calls these principles ‘The Seven Simple
Steps.’ The seven simple steps include intention, awareness, authentic
expression, allowing, receiving guidance, inspired action, and realization.
This is a great book. It is helpful and
enlightening. It is well-written, well-researched, and well-referenced. Terms
are clearly defined, steps are carefully described, and examples are given for
better understanding and application. Most importantly, it is respectful of
readers’ beliefs and does not impose its concepts on anyone.
Needless to say, I enjoyed this book
immensely. However, this is not an easy read. It requires focus, undivided
attention, and a great deal of interest in the subject matter. Moreover, other
readers may find some explanation a bit ambiguous, and though the author,
apparently, endeavors to make this book as user-friendly as possible, some
parts require rereading and careful consideration.
