I have to admit, I was afraid to start reading Sylvia's books in the beginning. Being raised Southern Baptist, I was taught from childhood that anything of this nature was strictly forbidden. Since I finally (thank God!) decided to open my mind and my heart, I have found a wealth of comfort, peace, and even confirmation. So many references in her books spark me to realize that I've known and believed this my whole life, but was afraid to question it, and ignorant as to how to put it into words. What a beautiful knowledge that there really is a Mother God and she loves us eternally and unconditionally! Astral catelepsy is something that I've experienced since early childhood, but never knew what it was. My brother is the only other person I know that has experienced it as well. I was so happy to read in this book that it's not death knocking at the door! Now that I know what it is, I have no more reason to be afraid of it. This book, along with every other book I've read of hers is definitely one that I would recommend to anyone! A must read!!!!
