 Existentialism in the Modern Age September 7, 2008

INTRO:
I received this book from the Amazon Vine Program. Luckily, I was not parted from my $16 retail + shipping and handling.
THE CD:
Out of curiosity, I began to listen to the music CD. A unintelligible chant begins, and then a soft piano plays in the background. "E", "I", "Ohhhh"... "E", "I", "Ohhhh"..."E", "I", "Ohhhh"... chanting in the foreground. Did he not learn the lyrics of "Old Macdonald" (Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-OH) ? Maybe it was lost in the translation. I received a chill in my spine. Alternating between the beautiful piano and the "E-I-O" singing was enough for me. Out goes the CD, and onto the book.
THE BOOK:
The credentials of this man was impressive and so it was worth a try in reading this book. So we start out with an altruistic goal:
"My total life mission is to transform the consciousness of humanity and souls in the universe, in order to join all souls as one to create love, peace and harmony for humanity, Mother Earh and the universe."
Through this is his 3 empowerments:
Universal service,
teach healing, and
"to teach soul secrets and wisdom to transmit Divine Soul Power, to empower people to use Soul Power to transform every aspet of their lives and enlighten their souls, hearts, minds and bodies."
He goes on state "However, I am not teaching religion. I am teaching Soul Power, which includes soul secrets, soul wisdom, soul knowledge, and soul practices." I am thinking at this point, "Boy it is sounding like an invitation to a cult, if you ask me". He goes on to start the origins of this journey with April 2003 where he receives "spiritual law" from the Divine and in July 2003 where he transmits healing and blessing treasures to a man named Walter who is later cured of his liver cancer. This is supposedly coming from a Medical Doctor? This reminds me of Uri Geller and his healing powers of my old clock radio.
He speaks of a Divine who utilizes preprogram Divine Downloads in each book of this series (the Divine is a true marketer). Divine Downloads? I don't even have a USB port to expand my Soul Memory here. What kind of quakery is this?
I continue reading and at this point, the skeptic in me is raging. Shall I continue reading this book? Another statement is another red flag for me "As you read this book, my souls will always be with you...I will be your servant forever." I am thinking, "Whoa! I have had enough".
If you really believe reading some passages, and meditating will download some type of positivity in your life, I have some wonderful to sell you in Florida that I call 'Waterfront Property' in the swamps of the Everglades.
10 minutes of this and that and awful chants, I had read enough. This is some Eastern approach to swindling your money and time.
I am not usually harsh with reviews and I try to see the positive light. He speaks of universal love and altruism. That's where it ends.
VERDICT:
Save your money, and save your time. Stay away. Stay far away from this one. This one is not even worth one star. The book goes into the trash...along with the CD.
 Skeptical . . . September 6, 2008

Although I believe that there are many things that take place in this world of which most of us are unaware, and I am inclined to give unusual methods a try with an open mind, I find myself skeptical of the, ". . . the Soul Treasures," that could transform our lives.
This is my first introduction to Dr. Sha. Perhaps if I'd read his earlier books before this one I would be more open to the possibility of trusting in the chant, 3396815, which is to be said in Chinese, and translates to, "San San Jiu Liu Ba Yao Wu." By repeating this chant one is supposed to be able to find their Soul Language, which will begin to be heard from our mouths after much practice.
This doesn't sound far fetched; I've studied - briefly - meditation and chanting, so I do believe in those practices and I can see the benefit of chanting. As to eventually hearing a Soul Language, however, stretches my imagination. But to be fair, I haven't given it much of a chance. Sha does say it can take longer for some.
After we find our Soul Language, we graduate to finding our Soul Song, Soul Movement, Soul Tapping and Soul Dance. We also can access Divine Downloads. I find the wording, Divine Downloads, a little distracting. AS I understand it, Divine Downloads are gifts we receive when we chant - kind of like our prayers are being answered.
Much of the book is repetitive and I think maybe a more succinct volume would be more convincing and much easier to read. At this point (after one reading) I am not intrigued enough to read the book again, or dig more deeply into the concepts of Souls Language, Soul Song, Soul Movement, Soul Tapping or Soul Dance.
Perhaps if I were more patient or not so skeptical, I would study this volume more.
Invitation to join a cult. I am not interested. September 5, 2008

This book is not what I thought it would be. I did not realize that Dr. Sha would be inviting us to join his cult, in which he is the new prophet who communicated directly with the Divine and shares the revelations with his adoring minions by way of "Divine Downloads." He is so devoted to universal service that he even offers a full catalog of his other books and bracelets and other products, available for purchase to those who want this prophet to profit. The writing is repetitious and redundant and circular. This book will get no more than the fifteen minutes I have already devoted to it. The author is a self-aggrandizing charlatan.
Exceedingly wise, dangerous, or both? September 5, 2008

I am a student of spirituality and like to open myself up to various thoughts. However, I admit that I found this book at times alarming, elementary, and halfway decent stuff.
I think that my main issues with the book stem from the fact that the author uses "soul" in places were he's talking about energy (or chi) and in others referring to the higher self (what we commonly think of as "soul"), so when he starts talking about soul transplants, I think it's easy to see why I became alarmed.
I appreciate that everyone needs to get their information in ways that work best for them. And a lot of what is mentioned, talking about service, humbleness, love, is good information and worthy of reading in any form. If you don't get too caught up on soul transplants, and reprogramming your soul via software downloads that are apparently sprinkled through the book...well ... I will admit that I was definately not comfortable with the subject matter of the book.
I wanted to like it. I was eager to learn more self-help and personal transformation techniques. I was hoping that I could add yet another tool in my personal transformation toolbox.
I was left wondering if this were a cult, if the author were dangerous, or just blissfully unaware and not clarifying his terms.
I'm really hoping that it was the later. If it wasn't...please, be careful.

I've been reading a lot of metaphysical books recently in the same search as many people out there and this book has touched me in ways that others have not. It is well written and structured in a friendly manner which is helpful when entering unfamiliar personal zones. It also comes with an mp3 disc of a soul song that I've had playing on repeat for the last two days in the background and I've truly enjoyed it there. Dr.Zhi Gang Sha is able to introduce us to a wise & wonderful way of life that many but not all will be ready for,but the others will be welcomed and loved by his writings when they are ready for such thinking.(Note other reviews!)This is a warm and wonderful book.
