The medium length version: 

Warning!  Reading Margaret Harrell’s Keep This Quiet! IV may literally CHANGE YOUR MIND . . . and, perhaps your entire life!

The reasons for stating this are multiple, but first and foremost, this book is psychoactive.  Truth is illuminating and what this book does is simply light up the same Truth that is in you . . . that is in all of us.  It is said “The Truth shall set you free.”

Well, this is it.

The long version:

When you get down to it, each one of us can only know our own experience of life, our story, which is of course, lived through whatever filters we (or others) have “installed” upon our perceptual vision.  It is rare that an individual comes along who has, through conscious intent, removed most or even all of the distorting veils from their spiritual eyesight that they are able to tell/share their story without any false filters at all—or, to put it another way—truthfully—which can only be done utilizing the only filter which reveals truth . . . and that is LOVE (which is actually no filter at all.) It is rarer still to find someone that understands the power of LOVE enough that they are willing to totally surrender themselves and make themselves completely vulnerable in an effort to share their story as authentically…truthfully . . . as they can, for they have come to know that although the details may and do infinitely vary, our stories are actually one and the same.

When these individuals courageously sacrifice their egoic needs to both hide and shine . . . and bravely bare/share themselves in all of their naked glory, they show us that underneath all of the surface differences, we are not only similar, we are the same.  We are One.

In Keep This Quiet! IV, Ms. Harrell has done just this.  And, not only this, but she has somehow managed to explain how and why this is so.  It’s like this:  We are all given the same, infinite pieces of the puzzle that when completed, shows the whole picture . . . All That Is.  Here’s the problem: Most of us suffer from an inability to (1) see more than a few pieces at a time and (2) recognize the patterns which point to the interconnectivity of the pieces, revealing the whole, accurate picture.

A puzzle master, Margaret walks us step by step through the process of her journey to that mastery . . . that wholeness of vision . . . so that we, if devoted enough, can also do the same.

Margaret has injected so much LOVE into this work that, if you are open enough, it might just wake you up to your greater . . . even greatest potential.  LOVE IS TRUTH, and the TRUTH is that YOU ARE . . . WE ALL ARE . . . LOVE.  KTQ! IV illuminates this truth beautifully and once a truth is illuminated, it is always illuminated/made Light and it simply will not be ignored!

So, proceed with the knowledge that you may be forever changed and blessed by this book.  And, even if you’re not “into” the mind and heart expanding properties of the work,  you are bound to enjoy this latest installment of Margaret’s fascinating, rich life!  My curiosity is satiated (temporarily, for I am sure she will be writing again!) and my love and respect for this amazing woman has only increased with her latest offering.

I finally got a chance to read through all of the sections you so kindly provided about Guruji and Anandi Ma and I am blown away!  Thank you SO MUCH for writing all of these wonderful stories! You are such a gifted writer!  My hope and dream is to finally take a little time off in late November so I can curl up on my couch with your book and a cup of tea and immerse myself in it from start to finish.

Below is the NEW Midwest Book Review review:

Synopsis: In Keep This Quiet!: More Initiations, author Margaret A. Harrell dives even deeper into the world of visions, computer-PK (mental influence over the computer), divine guidance, the psychologist Carl Jung, and science. The fourth volume in a thoughtful and occasionally iconoclastic series, “Keep This Quiet” takes place in the ’90s in Tienen, Belgium, where assorted parapsychological phenomena accompany the death of her housemate. Quickly checking in with Hunter Thompson, she winds up at Owl Farm, then returns (via the Bay Area) to her Flemish home base. Initiations welcome her back and she goes further onto her path, which spans spirituality and the quantum mind, Hunter Thompson and the Indian guru Dhyanyogi-ji, whose tradition of Kundalini Maha Yoga she is initiated into.

Critique: Keep This Quiet!: More Initiations is an inherently fascinating, engaging thought-provoking, and consistently compelling read from beginning to end. Of special note is the inclusion of exercises to offer the reader deftly crafted practical help in learning how they can work with metaphysical energy. While very highly recommended for community and academic library Metaphysical Studies collections, it should be noted for students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that Keep This Quiet! IV is also available in a Kindle edition ($6.95).
