This book is one where all-encompassing words are used in a hyped context without regard to their true meaning. The one word used in particular is "infinite." I am sure that the author does not know the real meaning of the term. This is clear from the phrase in the title, "raise your mind to the power of infinity." This is a phrase that is nonsensical, while it sounds powerful; from a semantic point of view it makes no sense. After all, what does raising something to the power of infinity actually mean?
The exercise numbered 3 on page 34 is typical of the prose in the book.
" Exercise 3
My mind is an infinite one
Say this to yourself a few times while contemplating its meaning. Now sense what this means on a physical level. Can you feel your mind? Do you feel any borders? Of course you don't. That's because there are none. Your mind is connected implicitly with everything everywhere, both physical and non-physical."
If you think about this for a moment, this statement means that all people are gods, their minds are infinite and there are no borders to it. This also means that the universe is infinite, and all humans are mentally linked. Furthermore, there is the direct consequence that humans never die, as that would of course be a border. That is a lot to say in a few sentences.
This book is tedious, dull and full of such nonsensical phrases that are semantically confusing. As one last point of justification for my remarks, I quote the following statement from the inside of the front dust cover.
"It describes in detail how your vision seeds grow in the silent womb of the creative universe and how you can play an optimal role as an agent-partner in the process of creating anything from nothing."

The author Arupa Tesolin does an excellent job in this book of explaining the power of bringing your visions into reality by over coming doubt and fear. I agree with her that if you want to change your reality you must look with in and create your world the way you want it to be, believe in it as if it is already real and it will manifest in your outward circumstances. I have done this my whole life and it works if you are stubborn enough to believe that it will.
If you have a vision in your heart that you are passionate about and love, then it will eventually happen if it does not contradict another vision. You can not rise to the top of your company if your family time is not negotiable. You can not be in perfect physical shape if you hate exercise and love cake more than being slim.
Ultimately we all desire our own form of happiness. The main driver of happiness is our ability to create, whether it be creating a book, painting, comapany, family, or child we are all driven to create something. Do yourself a big favor and learn the art of creating what you want by following this book's principles. All it takes is a spark to start a journey of your own creation.

This book was pretty good. It was short and an easy read. I can't say I loved it. And I didn't think it said what it was trying to say in an eloquent way. But it got me thinking about how I create things and accomplish things. It has the following 11 chapters:
0. Introduction
1. It all stars with a spark
2. Spark: Extending your magnitude
3. The living vision
4. Perfecting your vision
5. Planting your vision seeds
6. The principles of visioning
7. Defeating the dubious pair: Fear & doubt
8. Manifesting your vision
9. Principles of manifesting
10. Conclusion
This book is for the creative types: authors, movie directors, other artists, sales people, scientists, and entrepreneurs. It is about how to breed and harvest ideas that can lead to inventions, creations, and/or solutions. Whether you are into dreaming or strategic thinking, this book will probably help you do them better.
The author describes a person's imagination as her "creative laboratory." And in that lab a creative person experiments with ideas and scenarios. Some people are really good at this if they are good a meditation says the author. Meditators can get themselves into a "zone" where there are fewer limits on their thinking. And as a result the imagination can run wilder. I'm not a meditator, but I know what she is talking about. I have had periods in my life when I road my bicycle a lot. And other periods when I would go for long runs/jogs regularly. During these activities I did some of my best thinking. I was in a "zone" of freethinking so to speak.
We all place limitations on the way we think, solve problems, and/or create things. These limitations exist because of physical things, mental things, and our emotions. When we can escape from the real world and get into a zone of freethinking we will have our greatest imaginative moments. And it's these moments that a SPARK is created. 4 stars!
