Children of the Law of One - Book by Jon Peniel

I hate this book! It ruined my life! Please don't read it. It's fiction. Be suspicious of any author who uses a fake name and won't show a picture of themselves.

Goodness. How?

Okay, I'm not going to blame to book itself because there must have been something inside me that allowed this to happen but in any case: most of what it said sounded true to me at the time, I was depressed but didn't want to seek professional help, I assumed the "enlightenment" the author talked about is the only way to cure my depression, so I did absolutely everything the book said to do and as strictly as possible e.g. I took cold showers every morning (even in the winter) because it supposedly helps self discipline, I would never talk to my (ex-)girlfriend first because the book said women are supposed to seek out men, and basically I was just a jerk to people by telling them everything they're doing wrong meanwhile I thought I was being super spiritual and loving. It made me polarize more STS while I believed I was polarizing STO. It gave me justifications for everything I was doing: if you're friends start seeming more distant from you it's because they can't handle your vibration level. The core principle of the book was: the only way to be happy and free is to be 100% STO and the only way to achieve that is through self discipline. Obviously neither of those things are true and make a great formula for polarizing to STS. I made a facebook group about the book because the website for the book hasn't been updated since 2002 and the other hardcore book followers I met there were just as crazy as me. f*** this book, I'm usually against censorship but if there's any book in existence right now I'd want to eliminate off the face of the earth its this one, yet I used to be spreading it as much as I can (if you find a pdf of it online or one of the authors expensive meditation mp3 files there's a good chance I was the source of that).
