Rating:  Summary: There are some flaws Review: This book was very interesting, it helped me to think about my own spiritual beliefs. The book contains a lot of information, and at times it is very strangely put together and difficult to understand. Sometimes things are repeated but in a different way, so you are not sure if she is contradicting herself or if you just don't understand it. I found it rather strange that she talks about how religion tells you some people are bad and some are good, when in reality we are all God's children....and then she says that there are "dark" and "white" entities. Apparently, the dark entities can never become white. I don't understand how they even became dark in the first place. She also talks about certain things you must do to become "lighter", and you must accept Azna "into your heart." Sounds a lot like organized religion to me. There are also a lot of strange New Age rituals they tell you to do, even though they claim rituals are just a part of dogma.
This book may be somewhat accurate, but from what I read, it is not completely.
Rating:  Summary: Matches with Hinduism and other non-profit beliefs Review: Who ever is not blindly in the clutches of Christianity, Islam and Judaism, the religions of fear and retribution will find no issues with what is in this book. In fact those who are free thinkers will feel like its merely affirmation what you think should make best sense. Remember, even the worst indoctrinated amongst us intuitively speak of the dead as some one who still exist out there and not some one who lie dormant in the grave until the misrepresented judgement day.
Hinduism talks about the soul, God, oneness of all, male-female dynamics, life beyond earth, limitlessness of the size and time of creation, souls infiniteness in time, and journey of the soul in exactly the same way as Sylvia re-expresses the same to the Western audience. In Hinduism, 'OM' - the name of God is well known symbol/sound of the unmanifested form of God, the vibration sound of the highest purity.
Do not judge my reference to Hinduism as an attempt to sway towards conversion. There is no such thing in Hinduism, just pointing that the world's oldest uncorporatized religions have the same beliefs as Sylvia brings to light in her book(s).
Religions that try to establish monopoly abviously have an agenda, under those circumstances, a 6,000 yr old book or any scripture can not be fully trusted, hence the need to affirm portions of scriptures or deny their validity from spiritual Gurus such as Sylvia. Krishna himself in the scripture of Bhagwat Gita says the above all scripture is self meditation and guidance of a Guru. A Guru is not an institutionally risen leader, but a spiritually enlightened one. "One who can see". Hence leaders of Christian, Jewish and Islamic faith so easily become war mongers, and fight for themselves and their faith and not for love and knowledge and sacrifice. True spiritual leader does not ask you if you believe that Jesus is the only way (and others will go to hell), the condition for being part of the communion (a belief held closely by Bush junior).
This book is a must read. Sylvia proves herself repeatedly on The Montel show on TV in front of millions. Open yourself, please. You do not have to belong to a religion to have an identity. Fret not if you can not relate. There is an eternity for every one to reach enlightenment.
