Failed to deliver the goods
I was expecting better and hoping to go to a whole new level of manifesting. What should have been a manifesting marvel just wasn't ready to change my life. I was left feeling displeased and frustrated. The author seems to have seriously lost her way in the translation of what promised to be a fulfilling read. Maybe this was the golden goose for the author over in Germany, but the gamble here seems to have failed. Anyone who has read this book will know what I am on about. I think the book was rushed to get out of the door on the back of what Noel Edmonds claimed to be the reviver for his miraculous TV comeback.
I read this book in a couple of hours, and before reviewing it I read four others by the same author on this subject. So where did it go wrong, my conclusion is that had all five books been condensed into one then the compilation might just have made a decent read. For a start, the publisher could stop being cheap and have done more than just translate what started out as a pamphlet in Germany, as this is barley over 100 pages. They just tried to shave production costs and coin it in. This book is definitely not complete, something is missing, and I am not impressed.
As it stands, this book is a flimsy attempt to cash in on what was an accidental discovery. Although I am fairly new to the concept behind cosmic ordering, it did not take me long find out that the basic concept of just writing down what you want and then forgetting about it simply is too good to be true, especially if you want it to happen. I did and still do have an open mind, as is advised by other authors in this genre of book, but all in all this was not transferable to what this book lacked. Of all these books were put together then we might have one half-dent introduction to the subject matter: The Cosmic Ordering Service + Instant Cosmic Ordering: Using Your Emotions to Get the Life You Really Want - Now! + Cosmic Ordering for Beginners + The Cosmic Ordering Service: A Guide to Realizing Your Dreams + Cosmic Ordering: The Next Adventure.
This book needed a much stronger voice of reasoning, it should have backed up its claims of a promise for change
There was nothing in this book that shed light on the principles behind cosmic ordering, no in-depth recipes for ordering, and the additional guidelines were without reasoning.
What should have been a perfect creed for the age, has delivered very little by way of revelation or magnification of this subject. I would, without doubt, suggest to anyone wishing to pursue the manifestation of one's desires to read Esther Hicks' book Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires.
For anyone seeking deeper clarification on cosmic ordering then yopu might be better off picking up The Ultimate Guide to Cosmic Ordering - Empower Your Destiny: Take Control of Your Life (Book & CD) by Andronicos Andronicou, which goes into the spiritual side of things. For anyone seeking ways of developing the manifesting side of cosmic ordering I would also highly recommend Cosmic Ordering Guide: Where Dreams Can Become Reality by Stephen Richards, which goes into the empowerment of individuals.
Surprised at all the poor reviews
I just read The Cosmic Ordering Service in about an hour and thought it was great. Unlike some of the other reviewers on here, I haven't read other books specifically on Cosmic Ordering to compare (yet), although I have read many other writers who come from a similar school of thought, such as Florence Scovel Schinn, and I'm generally a seasoned reader in the field of personal development.
This book possibly wouldn't be for you if you want a really serious book that explores the subject in great depth and justifies everything. However, lots of people I know (such as my partner, for example!) don't want all that depth - they just want to be told how to do something that is easy and be reassured that it works.
I enjoyed the light-hearted and personal style of The Cosmic Ordering Service - it read like a fun but wise friend giving you her tips for how to have a happy life. I felt the book didn't just focus on Cosmic Ordering - there were other topics covered that were equally simple, positive and inspiring.
The book DOES tell you how to perform Cosmic Ordering. It gives you the basics you need and doesn't need to go into great detail about it. The point, as Mohr says, is that Cosmic Ordering is easy and it's up to you to experiment with details to find out what feels right for you. I think perhaps many readers find that difficult to accept - it is an alien concept to us, generally, to think that we can get what we want in life without loads of analysis, hard work and suffering!
I was surprised at people who thought it was badly written too. I am a writer and had no problems with the style. You could tell, in places, that it was translated from another language, but so what? The humour and down-to-earth tone was refreshing - particularly for those of us who find the tone of many American self-help books cheesy and too much to swallow (yes, I'm talking about some of us cynical Brits!). There are many people who balk at the thought of reading a self-help/spiritual/New Age type of book (and without wanting to generalise too much, these are most often men, in my experience - therefore I don't think it's a coincidence that this book has so many male fans). This book would be a great starting point for those people.
I actually borrowed my copy from the library after reading all the negative reviews on here, but now I'm going to buy my own copy and a few copies for my friends. So there!
A big disappointment
I read this book with a open mind, after hearing Noel Gallager promote this book, unfortunately it did not work for me, I placed 2 orders and forgot about them still not recieved, it lacks detail, to sum the whole book up, make a wish, forget about it then wait.
