Manifesting for humanityApril 1, 2008 6 out of 10 found this review helpful
The author felt that The Law of Attraction as presented in The Secret was too narrowly focused on manifesting for the desires of the ego. I agree with his assessment.
This book is for those who are interested in going beyond manifesting "stuff", and who are seeking to unleash the the power of the longing of their soul.
There is also an interesting chapter on the power of the sound created by voicing the intimate name of God. The book is a quick read, but also contains 10 practices you can apply as a graduate level self-study course for students of the Law of Attraction. This is also an excellent resource for anyone looking to begin or deepen their own personal conversation with God.
Transformative Peace & CompassionMarch 30, 2008 2 out of 8 found this review helpful
"The Moses Code: The Most Powerful Manifestation Tool In the World" by James F. Twyman, is an exceptional book that reveals how the Moses Code can be used to create miracles in your life.
A most powerful discovery and manifestation tool!
Cracking the Moses Code focuses more on what you're willing to give rather than merely focusing on what you're willing to get!
Right now you have the power to creat miracles! Not only do you have the power but also the responsibility to transform life based on the laws of peace and compassion.
Great read together with "Nexus" a New Age novel that highlights healing journeys, and transformations along with deep, heart-centered psychological and sprititual insights.

True Gifts of ManifestingMarch 24, 2008 33 out of 44 found this review helpful
James Twyman takes the Law of Attraction to the next level by not only providing tools for manifesting, but also manifesting from our SOUL level, not the EGO level. We can manifest all the material items in the world and still feel unfulfilled. Manifesting from the Soul level creates inner peace, joy, and happiness for the Self as well as promoting these attributes into the world. The world is shifting and it is our choice (as a human race) on how we shift. Will we continue operating as a self-centered race concerned only about lack and what we need for ourself (Ego based) or will we move into love, compassion and peace for ourselves and others (Soul based)? Which world do you want to live in? James Twyman gives us tools and information to change the world in a positive, peaceful way by doing our part to create it. If you read this book with the intention of only manifesting material means, you're missing out on the True Gift.
Obvious Marketing Ploy Written Like A BlogMarch 4, 2008 325 out of 354 found this review helpful
As I read Twyman's book I recognized the identical concepts that have been taught throughout the ages. Sweedenborg, Emerson, Descartes, Thomas Troward, Abraham-Hicks, Ernest Homes and more notably the many works of Neville Goddard all show that this book is a regurgitation of one idea that is not secret at all. This book is a marketing ploy much like the Secret and in fact Twyman seems to continue to ride that gravy train by aligning himself with the law of attraction and implying: "But I have the secret to unlocking the Secret." Very enticing indeed but this book will probably leave many, just as empty.
When I first saw this book I was very excited with the apparent premise of moving beyond the simplistic and naive message of The Secret and the law of attraction. Millions of people had been sold on the idea that they can manifest ANYTHING with a single thought. Those Millions are left starving for more substance and Mr. Twyman has rushed to serve these people with a brilliant marketing ploy called The Moses Code. The Moses Code is much like the Secret. A book, a ruse to provide the reader with the "secret handshake" that will awaken the genie-god to deliver shiny toys to your doorstep. This premise will always sell books.
The book borrows the very same ideas from Rhonda Byrne (The Secret) by posing the preposterous notion that something powerful, a secret code, was hidden from the world that would solve all of our problems--until now. In this book Twyman describes how God gave Moses the secret code during the famous burning bush scene in the third chapter of Exodus. He goes on to say that Moses used the secret code to perform many miracles such as freeing his people from captivity, turning his walking stick into a serpent, turning the Nile into blood, killing the first born of every Egyptian, creating plagues, and parting the red sea to destroy the pursuing Egyptian army.
Mr. Twyman attempts to share with the reader the same secret code that Moses supposedly used. A secret code that propels the law of attraction to new heights. A secret code that somehow became lost by Moses and just discovered in 2008.
"What are some of the things you most want to receive? Abundance? Your Soul Mate? The Perfect House? Your Dream Car? Chapter 1.
"And now you will use the name of God just as Moses did to realize your greatest dream. The process you're about to learn will align your power with the power of God, giving you the authority to draw into your life anything you desire." Chapter 2.
The Moses Code presents two sides to the manifesting issue: Ego manifesting and "soul" manifesting which is a noble concept but the book fails to make a reasonable case for the latter. What is the secret code? Say "I AM (a specific desire or state of being). A method in the book is given as a meditative technique. Write down on a piece of paper your desire such as financial abundance or the perfect relationship. Once you are alone and in a relaxed state, take some deep breaths and look at what you have written. Now say "I am [that]" Exhale as you say these words, and then as you inhale continue by saying: "I am." Repeat this pattern as you stare at what you've written. It is important that you feel the emotion of "already having" the thing you are asking for.
If you have faithfully followed the book and DVD "The Secret" or read and apply Abraham-Hicks teachings, you might gain a short-lived boost of inspiration for your manifesting efforts. If you expect to find profound insight and perhaps a missing key to the manifesting puzzle you will be left empty once again. The book is a mish-mash of ideas written in the form of a long blog entry and unfortunately is packaged as a magnificent discovery for the seeker. While Twyman points to an important dichotomy between "us and God," he still exhibits a rather archaic view of scripture based on assumptions, possibly from his Franciscan roots. It actually apears that Twynam at some time read a little Neville Goddard, Murphy or Ernest Holmes and decided to put these ideas in his own words and package it as a newly discovered treasure--all the while surfing the wake left behind by The Secret.
Positive attraction and manifestationMarch 4, 2008 159 out of 173 found this review helpful
Like The Secret and the Abraham-Hicks works, this book is based on the law of attraction and manifestation. He brings to it a new tool, based on the meeting between Moses and God where God appears as a burning bush, and when asked his name says, "I am that I am."
He explains that the actual Hebrew words God used when he spoke to Moses were "EHYEH ASHER EHYEH." According to the Jewish faith, this name is not to be spoken aloud, because it is considered a sin to take the Lord's name in vain. This accounts for the fact that while it is an extremely powerful tool, it was not used except in the temple.
The literal translation is actually "I will be who I will be," but this is where he believes intent comes into play. If you intend to use the statement "I am that I am" to attract and manifest God's will, then that is what will be done.
He gives specific exercises to incorporate this new tool on several levels, as well as examples of positive attraction and manifestation.
He takes the law of attraction to a more spiritual level, beyond manifesting a new house and a good income, to giving, being one with God and other individuals. "The ego seeks to get, while the soul seeks to give." He thinks it's fine to manifest things that meet our physical needs, but it is important to continue to manifest things like, peace, joy, love, grace and patience.
His ten keys to manifesting everything you desire are: 1.Be clear- because "Be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it." 2.Be open - "Your mind is like a parachute, it works best when it's open" 3.Be willing 4.Be happy 5.Be focused 6.Be expectant 7.Be energetic 8.Be positive 9.Be true 10.Be grateful - "the Universe bows to a heart filled with Divine appreciation."
This is a positive book that gives us a Biblically based tool to support the law of attraction and manifestation.
