 To Increase Your Spiritual Growth, Master Each of the 7 Paths!
I have been studying this book, Dancing the Dream, since I purchased it in the year 2000. I have had 8 years to work through the 7 Paths, and I love how I am still working through them. This is my airplane book, that goes with me on long voyages, so I can think and reflect about the next path I will read about. What wake-up calls have I had that have changed my life forever? It's amazing to look back and count them all, and then see how my life has progressed after I had learned my last lesson. Are there people who master all of these levels? I am sure there must be, or the book would never have been written. I look forward to my own personal growth, as well as to gain some more understanding as I work with others with this material, and increase my awareness while I am Dancing My Dream. Andrea Samadi, author of The Secret for Teens Revealed: How Parents, Teachers, and Teenagers Can Inspire Leadership and Transform Lives

Jamie Sams once again takes us on a journey through the layers of our spirit by bringing a complete understanding to the path we walk.
 Dancing the Dream
This book is easy to read, with sensible suggestions that can be incorporated into your life with relative ease.
"I have endeavored to draw the map of consciousness that applies to every person on every path:" from the Author's note .
I believe this statement reflects Jamie's chief goal for this book: this statement is listed in the authors note, preceeding the text. I don't think it is possible to draw a universal map of consciousness applicable to all humans. The chief reason being is that some folks never get past the 1st commandment let alone rise to metaphysical heights described in the text. Further, unless the reader has more than a beginners background in the metaphysical - or enjoys flipping back and forth between the text and the glossary - the reading can be difficult.
I gave this book five stars for what it DOES do, and that is a whole lot more than 99% of the metaphysical works I have read:
It paints a picture of the onesness of all existence, even though most of existence sees itself as seperate from everything else;
It bashes the notion that only enlighted earthly masters can achieve spirituality;
It clearly describes the downfalls of anyone being overimpressed with their spiritual progress;
It provides healers with a strong dose of reality: not to forget that therapy patients come to you because they are sick...there is pressure in them staying sick so you can make money;
It confronts head on the notion that a healer can see oodles of people on end: a handful may be too many;
It rightfully makes warriors out of beings immersed in the waters of daily life and it's endless tortures and misfortunes;
It superbly raises these tribulations to the status of lessons, encouraging hope and joy in the struggle;
It clearly points out that transformation is not a linear process;
It describes this circular process as seven different paths: this description allows readers to compare, contrast, and analyze later;
It describes the first hand accounts of Jamie in her path of transformation;
Read the book for yourself: you can't put it down.
