"I give four stars to the Corpus mainly because the exact origins are a bit of a mystery in themselves. While the verse is very beautiful and compelling, I would like a little more support in the form of an introduction or foreward to support the claim that this work does indeed have as much relevance as the Upanishads or the Tao Te Ching.
However, I do agree with a lot of Timothy Freke's interpretations of spirituality and mysticism - particularly his aversion to literalism and religious dogma. So this was still a very worthwhile and insightful read, despite feeling a little at sea regarding it's historical placement."
