Customer reviews of Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential
|
Customer Rating:  
Summary: Do you like divinity parlor games? Then this book's for you.
Comment: I would like to preface by saying that I am a fan of Myss. She shares a lot of valuable insight, but with the title of this boo, she missed the mark. If you want to know about archetypes, read Jung, not Myss. How to figure out your contract is entirely based on a parlor game, which in fact reminded me of that folded paper game as a child, "pick a number, now count and open to discover...".
If you are not an introspective person by nature you are going to have a heck of a time determining just what your archetypes might be. On my first count I had 20+ I could relate to, but after a lot of introspection and a night of observing my dreams I was able to whittle it down to the 8 that she wants you to have (plus the well all have) to fit into her 12 spoke wheel, which somehow corresponds with the astrological wheel (huh?!?). The next step is to write your archetypes and the numbers 1-12 on scraps of paper and then go into a prayer and meditation. You then draw an archetype and a number and write it on your wheel.
Of course the order in which you draw number to archetype is supposed to be divine. Naturally they make sense because YOU choose the archetypes - not all of which are pleasant but can teach us something.
I think that calling this a "sacred contract" is a bit misleading. It is more of a fun psychological parlor game useful in understanding how you view yourself in relation to archetypes (symbolically). There is no spiritual basis here whatsoever and certainly no sacred contract. It could be read as another personality typing system.
I do enjoy what she has to say about the chakra system, but failed to see how it related at all to this book.
The only contract God wants us to obey is to love one another and be of service to one another. It is as simple as that. The more I come to know GOD the more I realize that "I" am already the problem, and delving into the depths of my archetypal patterns (ie; ego), while shedding light on this self I call me, does not help get ME out of the way to allow GOD in.

Summary: A decent book to have in your library.
Comment: This is a good book to have in your library if you currently don't have an archetype book. I can't say that I learned a lot, but I do think that it is a good reference to have available. This doesn't compare to Anatomy of the Spirit which I consider to be a classic. This isn't a book that you sit down and read right through although Caroline Myss does make an attempt to make the book more than a reference. I do like the way she give individual stories in the book to make it more personal and interesting.

Summary: Classic Wonder

Editorial Reviews:

New York Times bestselling author and medical intuitive Caroline Myss has found that when people don’t understand their purpose in life the result can be depression, anxiety, fatigue, and eventually physical illness—in short, a spiritual malaise of epidemic proportions. Myss’s experience of working with people led her to develop an insightful and ingenious process for deciphering your own Sacred Contract—or higher purpose—using a new theory of archetypes that builds on the works of Jung, Plato, and many other contemporary thinkers.
Myss examines the lives of the spiritual masters and prophets—Abraham, Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad—whose archetypal journeys illustrate the four stages of a Sacred Contract and provide clues for discovering your own. Myss explains how you can identify your particular spiritual energies, or archetypes—the gatekeepers of your higher purpose—and use them to help you find out what you are here on earth to learn and whom you are meant to meet. Exploring your Sacred Contract will shine a light on the purpose and meaning of your life. You are meant to do certain tasks, you are meant to have certain relationships.
In coming to know your archetypal companions, you also begin to see how to live your life in ways that make the best use of your personal power and lead you to fulfill your greatest—in fact, your divine—potential.
Both visionary and practical, Sacred Contracts is a bold, powerful work of spiritual wisdom. Without a doubt, your most intriguing challenge in life is to recognize your spiritual commitments and live them to the fullest.
