Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance: Untravelled Paths Through Natural, Practical and Alternative Understandings of Your Life, Purpose and Meaning is a book about everything. It is like this encyclopedia that knows everything. There is information on spirituality, which includes content from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and many other religions, and a lot of content from nature. There is also content on mysticism, music, etc. The book starts thought-provoking: "Believe nothing at all written in this book." This piqued my interest as I wondered what great revelation the author had that the readers were forewarned not to believe anything in the book. The author then told us how we are part of a cosmic experiment and how our consciousness is an asset of great value. This book will challenge everything you know. Reading this felt like I was presented with some high-level ancient wisdom.

There are things that I loved about this book. One is the things I learned from it. Firstly, I learned about Islam, Buddhism, and the other religions mentioned and what they stand for, which is a lot of knowledge for me, considering I've not ventured into reading about those religions. Reading this, I could see how each religion represented an aspect of life. For example, in the book, the Christian faith stands for the religion of self-sacrifice, the Hindu faith is the religion of wisdom, etc. I had no idea about the other trinity in other religions, and I had fun learning about it. The second thing I loved was the quotes in the book. While reading this book, there were points where I wanted proof of what was being discussed, and then the quote from the book by Annie Bessant came to mind. She said, "Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; Equally, denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd." This made me comfortable reading and knowing I wasn't doubting things and had the right to question new knowledge. The third aspect I loved was how vast the content of this book was. It was like piecing pieces of a giant puzzle together. With each corner you turn, there is a connection of how everything is a big yarn spun together. At some point, the author referred to every individual as music, having their own tone. This I loved very much as it shows how unique and special we all are in this giant song of life.

Some things ticked me off in this book. At the very top of the list is referring to the sun and the earth as "holy father" and "holy mother," respectively. I understand the need to emphasize how important they are to life sources; however, using the term "holy" did not sit well with me, considering the fact that this book also has actual religious content. Reading this book, I felt that there was just too much to swallow simultaneously, coupled with the fact that there were sentences that were too short to understand. You could be reading and then come across a sentence with two words like "Due caution." I am always interested when I come across a book that promises to expand my understanding of things, offering a perspective I could never have dreamed of. I did learn a lot, but it also felt overwhelming at some point. There were also some errors. I will give the author credit for spinning together such a high level of knowledge, but I can only award the book four out of five stars for the negatives listed. This book contains religious content, so if that is an absolute no-go area for you, you might want to skip the book. Like I said, everything and all things are connected.

The mix of spirituality, mysticism, and different religions seems like an intriguing approach to understanding life's bigger picture. The idea of connecting everything like pieces of a puzzle is compelling, though I can see how the overwhelming amount of information might be hard to digest at times. It’s a bit of a balance between deep wisdom and moments that might be hard to fully grasp.

Sounds like a deep and thought-provoking read that challenges perspectives and connects ideas in unexpected ways. It might be overwhelming at times, but the mix of spirituality, philosophy, and science seems like a fascinating journey.
