 Biting, Sneering Sarcasm Abounds August 21, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've had this CD series since it was released (May 2007), and after listening to the first two CDs--I just couldn't take Caroline's sneering, spiteful rants against her audience.
I've reviewed many of Caroline's books, audios and DVDs and have been a student of her various teachings for almost a decade. So yes, I'm definitely used to her bluntness and questionable "teaching" methods, especially in audio format (it doesn't come out in book form, thankfully).
But the Entering the Castle series stunned me. It just blew me away. I'm sitting there thinking "Oh my God. She's lecturing about mysticism, about closeness with the Divine, about getting rid of so-called 'reptiles'--and then spits out condescending, mean-spirited, belittling, lambasting rants."
After taking careful notes for the first two CDs, I just had to stop. I simply couldn't do it anymore.
So it's been sitting on my shelf all this time. And I'm getting ready to sell it.
As one who has lived a mystic's life since I was a child (it was an archetypal pattern, nothing that my environment fostered--that's for sure), as well as hearing the voice of Jesus since about age 6, I'm quite familiar with mystical visions, voices, revelations and insights.
But this? This stuff sounds like a bitter nun raging against the lack of righteousness among humanity while, at the same time, attempting to teach about the incredible wonder of the Divine, virtues like humility (?!), and intimacy with one's soul. Caroline's God resembles the deity of fundamentalism: angry, capricious, conditional and in need of appeasement.
Your true interior castle is just that: within. And, frankly, no one--not even a supposed mystic--can take you there. You must journey for yourself, exploring each room, appointing it with what matters to you--as well as what scares you--and then confront, accept, and transform what you find there with the aid of Divine strength.
Sorry, but Caroline's offerings are getting worse and worse, especially the audio CDs. If you must, buy her book Interior Castle--but realize that her portrait and experience of Divinity doesn't have to be yours.
For a great audio on Christian mysticism, I recommend Wild at Heart: Radical Teachings of the Christian Mystics by Tessa Bielecki instead.
Blessings,

what a dangerous disappointment August 20, 2008

The subject matter of this book and CD set is fascinating. However, Myss has so contaminated it with her berating, shrill, negative parent tone I couldn't stand to listen for very long. Worse, as anyone who has studied meditation knows, when you are in a meditative state you are very receptive to what other people say. As a result, I felt like I was being psychicly abused every time I would follow her directions into a deep meditative state and then be berated by her. As far as I am concerned, this is spiritual abuse and until she changes her ways people should stop buying CDs, reading books or attending workshops by this woman.
Man, have I had it w/this woman's rants! May 19, 2008

I couldn't even get through the all the CD's. When she was active as a medical intuitive, then her work shined. It's when she veered off course into subjects such as "grace", that she lost me. I don't need to be scolded and name calling is definitely something that I will not tolerate and if I was to hear her carry on in a workshop like that, well, I'd have to leave. On one of her earlier CD's, I can recall her saying that she doesn't read letters of criticism, so she probably doesn't read online reviews either. Arrogant! No matter. It's the buyer that should beware. She preaches humility but she sure doesn't practice it. I haven't renewed my online newsletter either because of her mean spirited attitude towards her students in general and New Agers in particular, who are her bread and butter, whether she admits to it or not. Her earlier work...love it! Now, though, she's full of herself and I'm going to resist the urge to purchase any more of her work because I know it will just be more of the same angry diatribe and I just do not need it!
 Valuable and different March 8, 2008

When I first started to listen to this set of Cd's I almost stopped listening to them. They are so punitive. Yet I found kernels of truth within the words. The book is about Teresa of Avila, a mystic that lived within the confines of the Spanish Inquisition. It is all about getting closer to God. Yet, that closeness is the ultimate sacrifice, giving up any ideas of rewards. I had the impression that I should adorn a hair shirt and rip myself to shreds. There is little within it that is uplifting. If you enter upon this journey according to the author be prepared to suffer, you will not enter a spa. Yet, I continued to listen because there were still things about it that spoke to me. Perhaps it was my southern baptist fire and brimstone raising. It is different and will perhaps teach you how to get rid of the reptiles in your soul.
 One of her best! March 3, 2008

I have only words of gratitude and praise for this particular work of Caroline Myss. Having read her books and listened to many of her other audio lectures over the years, for me this was the most powerful, honest, and uplifting. I did not find any part of this lecture to be "harsh" or "shrill" (as some have commented) -- but instead found her to be at her most passionate. Love radiates from this CD set -- love for Humanity, personal and impersonal. I would recommend it to anyone on this Path who is capable of being sternly honest with themselves, on all levels. A beautiful work!
