 Oh, brother. August 29, 2008
Let me start off by telling you that I did NOT approach this book as a skeptic. Given the appropriate circumstances, I will be happy to tell you about my past lives, spirit contacts, the spiritual exploration I have been on for many years, even engage in speculation on the significance of December 21, 2012. So when Dr. Zhi Gang Sha offered Soul Wisdom, I was prepared to listen.
Before getting far into the book, there were many red flags. Sha talks of "power" and "treasures" (things far removed from wisdom), of "secret codes" (one of which looks like the zip code for Honolulu with '33' tacked on the front) and ridiculous phrases like "Divine Downloads" and "Divine Soul Transplant of Divine Golden Light Ball and Golden Liquid Spring of Divine Soul Language". We are told that "this is the first time in history that the Divine has released these soul secrets".
It soon becomes very obvious that Sha is not offering wisdom, but a form of religion. Portions of the book even resemble christian catechisms and chants in church hymnals. Sha tells us to chant nonsense syllables faster and faster until our pronunciation is slurred, and that's our soul language.
None of this is wisdom, it's just self-promoting obfuscation with rote and rituals that get in the way of actually thinking and learning.
I would call this book worse than a complete waste of time. While reading it, I repeatedly had the thought that if I had absolutely no respect for other people, I could write drivel like this and cash in, too. The idea that it is all about selling things and not about wisdom is supported by the catalog of things you can buy from Dr. Sha on the last few pages.
The "bonus" CD is not an audio CD, but contains a 14 minute MP3 file of very repetitious chant. It disturbed my kitten when I played it, and I don't blame him one bit.
ummm.... NO! August 29, 2008
I cut my teeth on books dedicated to stretch us emotionally, mentally, spiritually. I was excited to hear what Dr. Gang Sha had to say. And I was truly disappointed.
I have strongly supported and cheered the holistic focus that has finally found its way to the mainstream. I have also watched a stream of New Age fluff find its way down that path as well. This book would fit into that category for me.
There are "downloads" that you can mentally Absorb. There is pretty langugage and not a great deal of substance. Although the credentials listed on the book sound quite impressive, I also have to realize they were written by someone paid to spin the book impressive.
Then I turn and look at the substantive work that people like Jon Kabat Zinn have done for thirty plus years and the clinical research that backs up their claims... and I think I will simply pass this fluff by for something with a little teeth.
Included in the book is also a CD. Wow. I'm not even sure how to describe my take on that. Going into the recycle bin!
 Interesting book August 28, 2008

This book isnt for everybody, but, does have some great interesting points on how to look at the world. The book works well with all religions and it comes with a great CD for listening. If anybody is looking for a book that has a "works well with others" type of book with all religions, then this is the book for you. Very good read and would be worth the price for those looking for spirit type healing.
 Should be titled, "The Fine Art of Downloading" August 28, 2008
I don't think I have ever read a book which recommended so many downloads to make me feel better or to improve my health - all at hefty expense to line the nice doctor's pockets. I have always found computers to be wonderful things ... now I can use mine to heal myself - Wow! Watch out credit cards ... here we go!
This book is interesting in concept, but does not come through in fact. I found it to be boring and touching on some sameness with other books written by this author.
I would not recommend this unless you are a fan of the author and want to complete your collection.
 Great book August 28, 2008

I skimmed thru this book at first and realized I couldn't get anything out of it unless I read it thoroughly so I sat down and once I was in it I could not put it down. I began to feel a peace abot myself and it spread as I went from one page to the next. This is a very good book to read without interupptions but as you progress you realize a bomb could go off and you wouldn't hear it. Excellent book.
