The Search For Truth (Books With Something To Say) Available To Downloads
This book is for those who, like the astronauts, cannot look at this view of our planet without asking "WHY?" The search conducted within these pages is a logical journey into the fields of biology, psychology, physics, parapsychology, yogic science, and Eastern and Western religious philosophies. Are they merely viewing different aspects of the same Truth?

I love Michael Singer. This book gives wonderful insights on why things happen, why universe is the way it is, why we suffer. This book is not based on certain religion, but trying to explain human nature based on psychology, physics, religion and so on. He quotes Freud, Paramahansa Yogananda (who is my favorite!), different scientists and theories, psychology, parapsychology, biology etc. This book helped me to realize who I am and why stuff happens to me and how to fix it. This book will help you to start your search.
Of course that would be too long , but it is a very clearly written and understandable book if one is a bit aware of some belief systems used in different paths of life. I found it the cumulative explanation of where we come from, what spiritual power and energy power fuelsus while we are alive.Most important, it confirms what my personal intuition says about how soulleaves to go back to the spiritual realm by withdrawing energy in death of the body. I found thisbook to be exactly what I was looking for to confirm and bring together bits & pieces of what I'vestudied for 50 years into a roadmap of understanding. Loved it.
I bundled this book with IONS' first offering, The Untethered Soul, by the same author. My hope is that Mr. Singer makes up for the shortcomings of this much earlier text with his new one. As for 'The Search for Truth', I have to conclude "What a horrific end to such a promising work." The author 'had me' all the way to the final section entitled "Applying the results". The rest of this volume is brilliant and his Model of Man is an enlightening and, I believe, quite groundbreaking synthesis of psychology, physics and religion. However, one must bear in mind that it is possible to have a very deep knowledge and insight into certain facts, and at the same time vitiate the results of such knowledge by an entirely wrong assumption in regard to the law which binds these facts together in the Universal System. The author failed miserably to answer the question 'Why', which is promised on the back cover. In fact, as far as I can tell, he never tried.I suspect Mr. Singer himself suspected as much during the composition of this final chapter as it contains none of the joy and exploration so prevalent in those previous. Instead, we are admonished to forsake all desire for what he would lead us to believe is our ultimate and inexorable fate - an eternal life free of all of life's pleasures! Where is the joy in his river of universal energy? Where is the love in this amalgamation of pure thought, the purpose of which he does not hesitate to offer?The universe is life, by its very nature, not death, and to think of all desire as 'illusory' at best is to deprive life of its reason for being, if not its very means of creating.That said, I will treasure this book for its valuable insights into our true nature and possibilities, the value of which I will determine by my own introspection and personal quest for 'enlightenment'.The search continues...
Exactly as advertised. A mind expanding treatment of concepts that were new to me but made good common sense. A must read for those who want to better understand who they are and why they function the wat they do.
The book was easy to read and contained some very profound concepts. The author's book "The Untethered Soul" is also a must read.
All of Singer's work amazes me. His clarity and ability to write of spiritual awareness and consciousness is a true gift to the average and above average spiritual seeker..
Fantastic book that I'd recommend to anyone. It bogged down substantially for me near the end and because of that I almost gave it four stars, but... when this book is good, it's REALLY good, so - five stars it is. I read both of Michael Singer's more recent books (Untethered Soul & Surrender Experiment) before getting this book which was written in the 70s and is his first. Fans of his recent works would also enjoy this I believe, much as I did. I've always felt his message is very similar to that of Eckhart Tolle, but I find Singer's books a much easier, less "heavy" read.
Michael Singer has some profound and very useful insights on the human condition.The book was so good that I did not want to hurry to finish it!
