 True, but patronising. October 19, 2008

Freke puts forward the perennial philosophy but doesn't seem to fully understand it.
This is diet-enlightenment and although it proposes to undermine the separate self, the book actually addresses this self thus maintaining the cosmic illusion, which is a shame.

I have been a searcher for a meaning to life outside organised religion for some time now.I have read many books and digested many seemingly differing ideas---sometimes i have suffered from indigestion!! I started with the "Power Of Now" by Echart Tolle. It has been a roller coaster ride since then as whether we have dismissed the conventional concept of God or not our earlier indoctronation by parents,society etc leaves many scars.
Timothy's "Laughing Jesus" was another high point on my journey(and i think an essential companion to this book)---particular the "Religious detox" section which performed"plastic surgery on many of the scars.The ideas of Gnostism (the word doesn't appear in"Lucid Living")are fundamental and as a pocket reference this book(Lucid Living) is something to be treasured.
It is not the whole answer to life but the start of living life with your eyes open.Read all of timohy's books but especially 'The Laughing jesus'
There are many books around now which eventually will lead you to the same conclusions and -- unlike religion-- NONE will give you a roadmap to live your life!! What they WILL do is sart you on a very real and tortuous journey which may not always be comfortable but which is real life.There is no comforting priest or teacher to turn to in times of trouble on this journey,no dogma to fall back on.It is all down to you and how awake you can remain.
For those who DO have a belief in one relgion or another read this and the "laughing Jesus" with an open mind and i think you will find your Faith and understanding DEEPENED rather than DEMOLISHED!!!

Along with Peter Gandy, Timothy Freake has written extensively on Gnostic interpretations of the Christian message, and presumably this little book is the distillation of the wisdom he has re-discovered. The message expounded here turns out to be identical with the central message of Advaita Vedanta, some aspects of Buddhism - notably Dzogchen - Taoism and others. All well and good, since the 'perenial teaching' is presumed to be at the heart of all religions and 'spiritual' teachings. The messages in this book, pointers, or as he calls them 'insights' will resonate with anyone familiar with the dialogues and writings of Tony Parsons, Douglas Harding and others but for this reader at least, the message is dulled on 2 counts: 1) an overly sentimental last chapter that dilutes the strength of the direct pointing of the earlier chapters, and 2) the attempt to 'organise' the freedom to which his book is pointing with his so-called 'Alliance for Lucid Living (ALL)'. Otherwise, this is a good starter pack, but for those with a real thirst, this book is unlikely to do the job it claims.
I really liked this book February 3, 2006

I found this an entertaining and thought provoking read. It makes you stop and think. You may not agree with all/anything/everything in it but it does make you do a quick assessment of your life and a quick check that you've got an answer to what it is all about - and beyond 42.
It is written by someone who obviously cares about humanity and the state we are in. I liked the style and the refreshing energy it has. It may not be perfect but it is a good honest attempt to explain some of the marvel and mystery and magic of life. Well done Tim.
This book is fantastic May 15, 2005
