Cosmic Journeys - Rosalind A McKnight

[violeteye]

Rosalind McKnight was on Robert Monroe's team of "Explorers" for 11 years.  I love this book.  It's one of the best books I've read in awhile.  It's about her experiences and the knowledge she gained, which resides within us all.  The "truth" she tells, or her "invisible helpers" tell really resonates with me.  In fact, the perspective ties in with everything else I've been reading and studying lately.  Several times I would read a paragraph, ponder a question about reality and answer it in my head.  I'd read a few paragraphs down, or turn the page and the question I just asked would be right there and with the same answer I had.  I definitely recommend it.  I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before!

I am several chapters into this book and I'm reading it alongside other books as well, but I have to say - I can't believe how positive she is.  Obviously she worked with Robert Monroe for many years and her sessions were very uplifting and transforming, but she seems remarkable to me.  

I think she explains the merits of the institutes 'techie' investigations very personally, which is refreshing and reassuring.  'What a trooper' made me smile.  Nice one.

I use a grade on the book from 0 - 10 (10 being the best/highest). I've read the book and can not decide what kind of grade to give it. On a scale from 0 - 10 I'll hesitate between 5 to 8...


Cosmic Journey, 1999, Rosalind A McKnight

GRADE: 5.0 - 8.0

Long parts of the book are only some kind of transcripts from CHEC sessions, gave too little and became a little repeating after a while. I also got the feeling that Rosalind is somewhat colored by religion, but I might be wrong on this. The book has a problem, that is all Rosalind's testimonies were not remembered by herself and only collected from recordings. Perhaps the problem is that Rosalind can't put her own experiences into a deeper context, which gives the book a kind of "cut-off" appearance.

I liked the ending, the last part of the book became better than the middle part. If you like stuff about ETs or UFOs, and that there are no time and no space, love is the prime energy, you might like this book. But I got too little substance from the book. It is probably better to read Monroe's three books unless you're very interested in everything about the Monroe Institute, even the fuzzy bits. Smiley
