Descriptive book only
24 Mar 2012
The older version of this book is also on Amazon: Ascension!: An Analysis of the Art of Ascension as Taught By the Ishayas. I purchased the book in paperback, but as of the date of this review I was able to go the Society for Ascension website and download the eBook for this book and the author's "Thunder" book series and Enlightenment! book for free. This appears to be a method to promote the author's thoughts and classes based on his teachings as the book invites the reader to try an introductory course. MSI stands for Maharishi Sadashiva Isham. My understanding is that he was born Robert Vaughn Abrams and passed away in 1997. He was apparently associated with the TM (Transcendental Meditation) organization, but eventually went his own way. The author writes about the Ishayas "an ancient Order of monks, one which claims to stem directly from the Apostle John, following the direct orders of Christ to preserve his teachings until the third millennium." They hold that the original teachings of Jesus were not a belief system at all, but rather a mechanical series of techniques to transform human life into a constant perception and knowing of the perfection of divinity within every human heart." Despite the Christian sounding premise, the author provides a multicultural blending of ascension concepts. His four ascension attitudes are love, appreciation, gratitude, and direct cognition. Don't expect to find any practical, down to earth instructions on how to achieve ascension. The book is mostly aimed at describing a state of being or mind so there aren't any guided meditations, yoga postures, etc. In the appendix the author describes and outlines The Seven Spheres: the 27 ascension techniques, but again these are descriptions of what is achieved in each of these stages and not the actual technique as there are classes to teach the techniques. The ideas or descriptions of ascension aren't anything new or earth shattering and the writing was bit too flowery for me at points, but the read was not too long and pleasant so it would probably be fine as a starting point for beginners looking to read different books on the subject or just curious about MSI and his concepts.

Ascension! book
11 Feb 2011
Hi everyone, I read a book I can deeply recommend for. Writer is MSI (Maharishi Sadasiva Isham) and book name is ASCENSION! Here is a part from the book:
"Choose instead today for Truth and
Beauty and for the Kingdom of Heaven -- not in some far off future state, but Here and Now --
and watch how quickly your life transforms in magic and wonder and love and joy.
Take these simple words to heart and I promise you, you will dance with the Ishayas in
Immortal Life even here on Earth. Or deny us and run away -- it makes no difference to us but
all the difference to you. So many rivers have flowed into the Unbounded Ocean before. The
ocean needs none, accepts all, flatters none. Its status never changes - but what a
transformation for the river! Its narrow boundaries fall away and are found no more. The river
learns "I am the Ocean --" I am Infinite, Unbounded, Eternal. And this is known not as a dry,
intellectual concept but as a vibrant, living Truth of what is."
Ascension!

I LOVE the cover of this book! and that's just the teaser for what's inside.
8 Feb 2011
I bought this book just for the cover. The publishing company gives the book away for free as an ebook...or does at the time of me writing this. It's awesome that they give it away because it is such an enlivening book that fires me up for even greater and greater growth. There have been many powerful transitional moments when I have read the text of this book and felt the Love of the Ishaya's pouring through MSI to me. Always, always have I been comforted by the conscious clarity it provides.
Now with this new beautiful cover, I can just look at it and fall into the love of the Masters, it was totally worth the money I spent!
