Introduction to The 5th Way Book Reviews

Introduction to the 5th Way offers extensive insight into the seemingly mysterious and confusing experiences we have as human beings. This book does a beautiful job in attempting to "make sense of it all." In covering a variety of topics, Mr. Arthur successfully guides readers through a journey of successive "a-ha" moments, ultimately conveying the message of unconditional love.

The main idea that is extrapolated (at least for myself) is that while we are human beings living a temporal life, there is simultaneously occurring within us a spiritual life that yearns to be recognized, but that sadly, all too many of us ignore. This spiritual life within us contains the energy to allow ourselves to love others as well as ourselves unconditionally.

As the author illustrates in the 5th way, living a life motivated by unconditional love gives one a sense of peace, purpose, and fulfillment that no other motivation could possibly give. Whether you are a person who is spiritually seeking, or just seeking for answers to some of life's big questions in general, this book has an answer for you!

This powerfully written first novel by Addison C. Arthur provides an astonishing richly detailed demonstration of the information link between spirit/energy and the human being. This thought-provoking book is an important catalyst needed for the future advancement of humanity. The Introduction to The 5th Way is an efficacious display of truth mixed with an occasional humorous comment's', which is fueled by a fierce dedication to amassing facts that dispels myths in the long-neglected area of philosophy without using the condemnation of “religion”.

The author introduces a new perspective on age-old questions and provides a voice for those of us who need to be heard but do not subscribe to an organized religion. This book is in a new philosophical category. This book is the first I have read which addresses spiritual questions and provides real answers instead of the normal rhetoric that leaves the reader wondering what the original question was. The author adequately and accurately reveals truth. It is the real thing. Refreshing!!

“In order for Spirit to experience, it has a choice to either stay formless therefore continuing to experience the Absolute Itself, or, to temporarily infuse or take form within the material creation and experience through it. Some of our Spirit decides to stay formless, while much of the rest infuse or take on form on Earth or on another planet” “Why would some of the Spirit even want to take on material form?” “To experience what they are not, in order to be able to appreciate and love what they are, which is the Absolute” (p. 57).

 Right from the beginning, Addison C. Arthur states his case, this book is as ambitious as courageous: it offers a completely new look on spirituality. Based on a solidly researched body of statements, the author unbridles his creativity and invents a new world view. But Addison C. Arthur does much more than that, he translates his theory into practical advice to help us cope better with our lives. By proposing a new understanding of our essential nature, he helps us address issues of our everyday life as well as tackle philosophical questionings related to God, sense of life, survival and reincarnation.

Introduction to The 5th Way is truly an important book and I highly recommend it to any one who wishes to explore the mysteries of Life.
