Christopher has a voice which is extremely soothing and comfortable to
listen to. On this CD set (each CD runs about an hour), as in the sets
which accompany each of the other books in this series, each exercise
begins
the same way (counting down to ritual consciousness). While this may seem
like overkill to some people, it serves to make this technique an
ingrained
part of your world. It also allows individuals to jump around and not
(necessarily) in strict order.
These CDs are no substitute for reading the book. They contain only a
small
****tion of the material and a selection of the exercises and meditations
which comprise the majority of the written work.
As always, Christopher has selected music which greatly aids the entering
of
altered states of consciousness. It is pervasive without being intrusive
and helps you move smoothly through the meditations. A large ****tion of
each pathworking is devoted to this music with no verbalization. This
allows you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. It is an
experience
not to be missed and, once worked through, not to be forgotten.
The final CD moves beyond the pathworkings into other territory (i.e.,
elemental journeys in search of the four magical weapons). Again, plenty
of
time is allowed for you to fully experience the journey.
Is this set necessary if you have the book? No, it isn't. Is it
beneficial? Absolutely. It allows you to experience the meditations
without having to tape record them. And, as I said earlier -
Christopher's
voice is soothing and enhances the experience/
