After reading "CE 430: Adventures of Jesus" near the end of 2016 and finding it to be poorly written and reasoned, I read this book on Triadic philosophy to make sure that I was giving Mr. Rose's ideas a fair examination. Someone following my reviews recently asked why I had not written a review to accompany my one star rating on GoodReads.
So, I am just now writing a review after reexamining the book to try and remember why I didn't write a review in 2017. The answer is pretty simple. Either this book is far beyond my intellectual ability or it has much in common with Hans Christian Andersen's tale of "The Emperor's New Clothes."

Triadic Philosophy - 100 Aphorisms is available only on Kindle and can be read almost universally. This is the fourth edition. Subsequent editions will contain added material. The following is drawn from Aphorism Four:
History has always been the result of what we have thought. And it has also been the result of habits we have formed over centuries. Sure, you say. But think about it. If you can control your thoughts, you can literally make history. That is such a huge reality that most people do not dare to deal with it. After all, history has not always been a great success. We have had our share of wars, crime, corruption and cruelty. And we have learned to blame everything and everybody but ourselves. Triadic philosophy understands that the reason we have so often failed over time is because we have shrunk from examining what is present in our minds. We all know something is there. But few bother to call it what it is and fewer still acknowledge the implications. What is present within us are the values that power progress.
The book is a description of the way anyone can begin to think and in doing so to change the course of history.

What can one say about the Tao Te Ching? I could not bring myself to give it less than 5 stars, if, for no other reason, that it is 500 years older than the New Testament and still very much in use today.
It is sometimes a little hard for a modern Western reader to understand, but it is well worth the effort for anyone who is on a spiritual path. Much of what is said here is repeated by Jesus 500 years later. But, read it carefully, thoughtfully, and always remember, it was written 2500 years ago in China. For example, some of the gender references are no longer considered valid.
However, the book itself is worth careful consideration.
