Many meditation manuals approach their subject from the context of Eastern religions, but this is a refreshingly Western approach. Harry Glover draws on a background in the Edgar Cayce material and Levi's 1907 Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ.

The core of his method is the daily practice of 15 minutes of inner Silence. To reach the Silence Glover recommends using either what he calls an affirmation (e.g., "Be still and know that I am God") or the method of watching the breath.

Novice meditators may find that Glover's book leaves them with some unanswered questions about the details of the practice. On the plus side, he includes comprehensive lists of the effects and benefits of meditation including more energy, a more centered life, and a life increasingly inspired by the Higher Self.

The charm of the book comes from the author's sharing of his personal experiences, including how he was able to cope with an extended period of unemployment, and the surprising story of how meditation helped him quit smoking.
