Dancing the Dream: The Seven Sacred Paths of Human
Transformation by Jamie Sams is a book about trying to find inner peace and
strength in the world by using age old Native American secrets. It’s a book
that can be inspiring. The book was something
of a mix bag of tricks.
This book was gifted to me from an old family friend. It was
something that reminds me of her and even more the southwest. Plus it seemed
like a good idea to read a self help book every once in a while. I did
pick the book a little bit on faith, I just grabbed a book off my To Read shelf
at random.
I will say I think Jamie Sams really found enlightenment. She
has found grounding and wisdom through the teachings she’s learned over the
years. I don’t doubt her credentials and I like how she used her own foibles.
The book is way too theoretical for me to put into action. There are times I’m much more of a goal
oriented person who need clear plans. I can’t say I don’t love philosophy because
you can’t have a minor in it without enjoying the theoretical ideas. In all honesty, after reading the book I’m still
not sure what all the paths really entail. I get that the important things. But
to me, some of the paths are not very different from one another. Also more
importantly to a goal oriented person, how can you be able to walk on separate paths
while at the same time you need paths 1-4 in order to walk on paths 5 through
7?
But another problem was the writing. It was a bit circular
and there were times I had no idea what was being said. I hate having to reread
stuff a thousand times.
