It’s Time to Align by Allen Lottinger is a non-fiction controversial book about raising our vibration. According to the author, human beings can either lower or raise their vibration, depending on how they live their lives. The choices of people determine whether they will raise their vibration to align with their vortex. This concept ensures one lives a successful life.
The book is basically divided into three segments. The first segment is the introduction, where the author analyses the human vibration, and how they affect our day to day lives. The second segment is about things that lower vibration such as religion, politics, possessive sex, fear and surprisingly, wheat. The third segment handles things that raise vibration such as meditation, exercise and forgiveness. The author explains why many people are struggling in life and how they can solve their problems. He gives tips on things that can be done to eliminate our problems and live happier lives.
What I liked most about the book is how the author has used a thought-provoking writing style. Lottinger articulates his ideas and convictions with simplicity by adding quotes from other scholars and researchers. The book is more than a self-help book, as it looks at the problems and offers the solutions. Although his sources are questionable, they offer more insight into his ideas.
What I disliked most about the book is how the author handles some sensitive topics such as Christianity and monogamy. His ideas can be offensive to the groups of people who practice both. Also, I feel the author didn’t explain his points properly. In my case, I really can’t tell exactly what ‘vibration’ or ‘vortex’ are, even after the words being used throughout the book. The introduction part of the book doesn’t offer adequate information on what the book is all about, and I felt like I was floating through ideas because the terms were not properly explained.
I rate the book 3 out of 4 stars because I found is offensive and insensitive to the Christian religion. I couldn’t give it a maximum rating because it contains some aspect of vulgar or profane e.g. when the author writes, ‘Okay enough praise, now get the f*ck out of here you leaching little bastards. We need to end this sh*t now. Enough is enough.' This quote is in relation to dismissing religion which I found as improper. On the other hand, the book is professionally edited because I found only a single grammatical error. I recommend it to anyone seeking to achieve higher vibration in their lives as the book offers guidelines on how to do that. I wouldn’t recommend it to a religious person, especially a Christian because it is offensive and demeaning to their faith and beliefs.
