After years of therapy, self-help books, workshops and tapes that made me more fearful, more neurotic and less hopeful about the future, I stumbled across The Way NOW and within the time it took to read, I felt like the cobwebs and dust of the past disappear and the fresh light of truth and freedom fill my heart and soul. As a direct conduit for the wisdom of Lares, Mari V. has made it possible for me and others to receive these ancient insights, painlessly, in today’s language, without the pomp and pretense found in so many “New Age” writings. If you’re like me and have been seeking a firm anchor to ground you and a bright star to guide you through life’s challenges, I urge you to buy this book. You’ll discover that Lares has compassion for your heart and Mari V. has respect for your mind. And you’ll find this book’s bold frankness truly refreshing.

I came across this book by accident and couldn't put it down once I started it! The language is clear and the spiritual info simply blasts through all the so-called New-Age (and otherwise) crap we've been told to believe. This is timeless stuff that makes sense out of a confusing world. Most importantly, this book provides the reader with the courage to stand up, leave the past behind and step into the future - no BS here! - Mark Del Mar, documentary filmmaker
