The Laws of the Sun - One Source, One Planet,One People - Ryuho Okawa

This book is the first of  a trilogy that includes the titles, The Laws of Eternity and The Golden Laws. Written by Ryuko Okawa, author of The Essence of Buddha, this book delves deeper into the principles of Buddhism and takes you on a transcendental journey to define the very nature of spirit and soul. 

The power of love is the main theme that seems to permeate this book and was one concept that really resonated with me. 

The author, a well known channel of spirit himself, reveals the secrets of our multilayered universe and helps us to define our place within it.

Ryuko Okawa claims to channel some very high level energies and whether you believe in this kind of stuff or not the book is worth reading for the esoteric content alone.

I'm looking forward to reading the next two titles in this series. You can depend on Ryuko Okawa to deliver content considered to be "heavy" with clarity and insight. 

In my opinion, adepts and advanced students of metaphysics will benefit the most from this book.
