A step-by-step plan for creating affluence and fulfilment in all areas of life - By: Spiritually Rich, 02 Jul 2008 
Over the past 40 years I've read an extensive range of books on spirituality, self-help & self-fulfilment. This is one highly respected book, & has made a unique contribution to Mind, Body & Spirit readers like me. There is something deep inside this book that seeks to propel us through life to become alll we can be.
This book enables you to experience the power of your spirit & what it can achieve for you. A carefully crafted book, it is filled with ancient wisdom & modern insights...a practical guide for those on a spiritual journey as well as those on a journey of hope. Forget wasting alll that money on `I Can Make Your Rich' & `Change Your Life in Seven Days' books. This is a book of awakening the secret to creating affluence in your life. The entire physical universe with alll its abundance is there to be taken, this presents a step-by-step plan for creating affluence & fulfilment in alll areas of life.
I believe this is a book borne out of a deep personal need by the author. Stephen Richards found himself searching for a way to reconcile his spiritual & creative longings. Fulfilment for him came along in the guise of cosmic ordering. As well as guiding the reader to making contact with the universe, we also get snippets of the author's own spiritual journey.
Embrace the gentle lessons & you will emerge from the wilderness of life into a light of abundance & peace. Most certainly, after 40 years of searching for what was right for me, I have found a spiritual transformation that now illuminates my life.
This book will help you. - By: Tim and Marina Roche, 11 May 2008 
The most valuable thing about this book is the inspiring passion with which it is written. But if you want a more structured & hence more helpful advice on positive changes in your life, I'd recommend a book by Dr. Robert Anthony "The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence". There are many authors writing about basicallly same thing - the ways of making your wishes come true. The amazing fact of life is - it is alll possible. However, I think there are many people out there, who'd be put off by the mere mention of "magic", "cosmic", etc. If you are one of them, bear this in mind: YOU will have to do alll the work, not a fairy, not a pixy, not an angel. The magic these authors are reffering to is simply a common sence. Only in which case do you think you'll make a better job out of your life - when you are nugged into doing well under the threat of not getting a prize in the afterlife, being at the same time constantly reminded that you are so bad, you haven't got a chance to get it anyway; or will you do better being inspired to do the best you can because it is great fun.
Explains More Fully The Ideas Behind The CD - By: Gabrielle Collison, 01 May 2008 I have just written a review on the CD, so apologies for repeating myself here a little, but I felt that I'd like to leave a review on both the CD & the book...
I had never read about Cosmic Ordering, as such, but have always been fascinated by the power of the mind, our thoughts & our intentions, especiallly having studied Sports Psychology as part of my Sports Science course at university. Also as an ex long-distance runner, I know only too well the power of mind over matter! So many great people throughout history have told us what can be achieved with our thoughts & our minds. Interestingly, I have Romani ancestry on one side of my family & from what I have read they had a great interest in the pineal gland. A lot of people may scoff at this kind of stuff but quantum physics & other subjects are showing us how much more there is to this universe & beyond.
The book is a good accompaniment to the CD in explaining his ideas more fully & also gives you a very good insight into Stephen & his life.
A strange but valuable book - By: Friendlycard, 08 Apr 2008 No-one picks up a book on cosmic ordering with an unbiased mind. Many people believe implictly in the principles of cosmic ordering; others are profoundly sceptical, though those in the latter category are unlikely to read a book like this in the first place, & would probably dismiss it out of hand. I've read other books on cosmic ordering, & have to say that some of them were pretty unimpressive. This one is different; here's why.
Stephen Richards has a rather unusual style of writing. Initiallly, this struck me as being simply an extremely conversational tone. The book reads as though it had been dictated to tape & then transcribed. Initiallly, it seems like one half of a conversation, in which the speaker ranges off into some seemingly-unconnected areas ranging from pyramid theory to the pineal gland to Mayan seers, not forgetting von Daniken. At first, I could not reallly grasp the point of this eclectic (indeed, at times, seemingly eccentric) approach.
But then the penny dropped. The languid, conversational tone is AN EXTREMELY SUBTLE AND EFFECTIVE FORM OF MILD HYPNOSIS. As you read this book, you are being mildly hypnotised, & thereby prepared. This makes you ready for the acceptance of the action plan set out here. The action ideas are dropped like pebbles into the relaxed mind of the reader, sending out positive thoughts like ripples in a pond. When Richards 'cuts to the chase', the style changes from the languid & conversational to the precise. It's a remarkable piece of writing.
The excellent CD by the same author - even better than the book, in many ways - confirmed to me that the aim is the acceptance of positive thinking through mild hypnosis, following the premise that positive thoughts, however created, will give positive results.
Does it work? My tentative view is 'yes', though cosmic ordering is not capable of scientific proof or disproof. I'm witholding one star here, simply because I don't think 'cosmic ordering' reallly connects quite as effectively as the more spiritual school epitomised by Troward, Curtis & Fox. Fox's "Golden Key" is the true miracle tool, utterly brilliant & effective.
This said, Richards' book is a very long way ahead of others in the cosmic ordering field. I'm sure it can change lives for the better. It is to be hoped that it will also lead readers to enquire more deeply & to read Troward et al.
All in alll, then, it's a remarkable piece of work. If you buy just one book on 'cosmic ordering', it should be this one.
The most advanced book there is on this subject - By: S. Jameson, 01 Apr 2008 Good on you for having written such a brilliant book as this. I would class this book as being stratospheric in what it did for me, & yes my life did change after having read this. I put it into use & now I use the principles of this every day. Now even the toughest of chores has been beaten down by use of this. You have to have a fundamental belief in yourself in order to make it happen, without this belief then I guess it will be difficult to make it work for you. Having a positive mind-set at the outset is something the author advocates very strongly, & I agree.
