There are two significant points to this book: 1) the importance of dealing with the psychological as well as spiritual aspects of our lives and 2) the need, or not, of having a spiritual teacher.

I read this book just after I read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, not realizing the close connection of some of the material. I assume Brown knew of Knight and Butler's research, since they mention that he used some of their work in his previous novel, The Da Vinci Code. Whether he did or not does not detract from either work, nor is the focus the same. What is striking, however, are the similarities of both books seeing the importance of Washington DC and some of the buildings within that city.

This is an exciting read, a hard-to-put-down book that I enjoyed even more than Brown's previous novel, The Da Vinci Code. There is one significant aspect, however, that transcends the intrigue of the story. The research that one of the characters is doing is more important than the tale itself. This is the practical spiritual message of the book.
