Reviews

This lucid study takes up a topic dear to my heart--the uses of fiction as a wisdom path--and traces essential principles from South Eastern and other traditions of wisdom and spirit appearing in Star Wars. The parallels mentioned by the author are evocative and even archetypal. The image of a path of spirituality emphasizing balance, experience, mindful action, and unity found in difference speaks strongly to our time of culture wars and increased questioning of traditional creeds.

--Craig Chalquist, PhD, author, "Soulmapper"

An intriguing addition to Star Wars scholarship, which reveals the timeless substructure underpinning the space-age saga. If you watched the Star Wars movies with a feeling in your bones that you were seeing something unfold that was not merely the product of modern creative storytellers but something ancient and powerful, this book will tell you why.

--Joe Holland, Maharishi International University

Dr. Nobel's book brings the Star Wars saga to life for us, helping us to live its principles in the present by showing parallels between the concepts portrayed and the ancient knowledge of Vedic Science as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. She brilliantly explains the Force--the universal level of consciousness--and details the path available for through the practice of transcendental meditation for everyone to become a Jedi.

--Tara Schmid, Maharishi Vedic Science Researcher

This is a provocative work that will thrill Star Wars fans and those who have a passion for Eastern philosophy.

--B. Steven Verney, author of "The Best of All Possible Worlds"
