Rating:  Summary: Letter to Earth Review: After reading Neal Donald Walsch's Conversations with God series I developed a spiritual hunger for Books of this nature and believed with all my heart that I had found another treasure in Letters to Earth . Sadly , the wonderful concepts found in the book are hidden under slabs of overly convoluted language . Several times I found myself going back over sections in an attempt to break the psychobabble encryption that Ms.Wise seems to favour . This sort of literature should be presented as clearly and simply as possible so as to make it accessible to everyone who reads it . Unfortunately , letter to earth is a struggle to read and getting to the beautiful truths it contains is like digging through several feet of hard ground to reach a pocket of gold .
Rating:  Summary: The Spiritual equivalent of Chinese take out food Review: Beautifully written but short on real sustenance. I would advise C.S. Lewis as an alternate menu. Begin with the Screwtape Letters. Having done so return to "Letter to Earth" and read it again. You'll see the inimitable and diabolical Screwtape capering and grinning-between the lines of course-on every page of "Letter to Earth".Jerry Furland, author of "Transfer-the end of the beginning".
Rating:  Summary: "Must" reading for students of metaphysical spirituality. Review: Elia Wise's Letter To Earth is a guide to understanding the works of life and offers a comforting balm for those whose journeys through life have been excessively painful or confused. Letter To Earth is clear, powerful, beautiful writing, reflecting the author's comprehensive explanation of how all of life functions, based on a dynamic of nature she calls Sympathetic Vibrational Magnetism (SVM) which enable human consciousness to produce reality and have meaningful experience. Letter To Earth is recommended, rewarding reading for students of spirituality, metaphysics, and anyone who seeks a revelatory recapitulation of the life-process on earth and throughout the universe.
Rating:  Summary: Not what I expected Review: If you have read the Conversations with God books and you think you are getting more of the same STOP get here and go get An Encounter With A Prophet. That book is more this book is not.
Rating:  Summary: Teacher from Experience Review: It's easy enough to see: a Neale Donald Walsch endorsement, a catchy design, and yes, the perfect title for its market -- this baby is gonna sell, sell, sell! But those who've been burned in the past in judging a book by its cover needn't fear this little gem -- the content puts the cover to shame. If Ms. Wise was ever told the advice to not try pleasing all the people, she apparently didn't listen. This book has something for any reader, and on nearly every page. Refreshing in its simple approach, a rookie seeker should be able to follow; yet for those well-versed in esoteric study, there is a surprising number of uncommon insights. For the skeptic there is ample reference to science as we know it; for the believer, this acts to confirm. If there is any imbalance to the approach, the book's logical progression from a simple foundation -- that everything is energy in varying states of manifestation and consciousness -- may suit the more left-brained among us. But that is likely a redundancy: a book by nature generally serves the intellect, for the intuition is more experiential. The fact is, with her successful analogies and a beautifully described dance of "How Things Came to Be," Ms. Wise has created a home for the more intuitive and artistic; meanwhile, the overall logic to such matters helps create a language bridge for the left and right sides of the brain. Ms. Wise is indeed aiming us towards unity. From the touching elegance of an introductory letter to her daughter (which will no doubt become much discussed) to the accessible explanations of such fundamental processes as magnetics (sure to delight readers of Kryon and students of the mysteries), Letter to Earth offers a broad and solid foundation from which to test later readings. And by teachings such as the "vibrational and magnetic intelligence inherent to all energy," the author gives power, showing not only how are lives have developed, but also how to further choose experience, how to re-invent our world. That process, dear reader, is how you've come upon this review; and if I might wish a blessing into your life, this is how you'll come to the book itself -- for when the student is ready, it seems the book will appear.
Rating:  Summary: This Book Is Full Of Wisdom Review: Letter To Earth is one of the most miraculous books ever published. I have never read a book before where I could only read one sentence at a time, then I must stop and think about each sentence for a few minutes before going on to the next. There is more wisdom in each sentence than in entire chapters of other books. The description of how Elia acquired her wisdom (written about in the book) is equally miraculous. It's a difficult read, but if you take your time and read the book more than once, the grand ideas & concepts will eventually become part of your consciousness. The funny thing is, when I saw Elia at a live lecture, she talked in a very practical style, giving everyday examples in very simple sentences. I told her she should write another book in this simpler style sometime. But when you carefully read Letter To Earth, you realize the way she wrote it is the only way the concepts can really be communicated in their pure form.

Rating:  Summary: Letter to Earth: Extraordinary wisdom Review: Letter to Earth, by Elia Wise, is written in a question and answer format from the point of view of a consciousness that is able to address some of life's deepest and most intriguing questions. Among the many subjects it answers is how we create our reality (it may not be exactly what you think) and how we interact with the larger universe. Probably more important is the information on how we are evolving humanity as a whole and as individuals. Letter to Earth begins with a letter that the author is writing to her young daughter. The letter is very touching, full of love and gentle explanations of why things are the way they are and the opportunities her daughter faces. This is a nice introduction to the book as Ms. Wise continues with a clear, almost affectionate tone throughout the book as she explains the human level of consciousness and it's opportunities for growth. The reader can directly apply this knowledge to her or his life as the book is read. Indee! d, the readers are the lucky recipients of Ms. Wise' deep and abiding knowledge and love. I'm a bit in awe of Letter to Earth. It is like no other book I've ever read or held. First of all it's physically beautiful. The book jacket has amazing designs that somehow seem like it encapsulates knowledge from far away. The book cover itself is a deep purple and the pages have a bit of a ragged edge as if it was a very old book. If you're sensitive to "vibration" then simply holding the book or being near the book is a great experience in itself. The vibration of the book is visceral and I actually feel great while I'm reading it. But the best thing about the book is the content itself. The chapters easily flow from one subject to the next. I am constantly having that "aha!" experience as I read. I have read the book three times now from cover to cover and I know I'll be reading it several more times over the next months and years. It is truly a great text that I think! of as contemporary with the world's great texts on religio! n, spirituality and human growth. Letter to Earth is to be experienced and not simply read. The book will expand your consciousness many times. It is a true treasure of our times.
Rating:  Summary: Not what I expected Review: Quite simply: Don't waste your time with this . . . just page after page of pseudoscience and psychobabble.
Rating:  Summary: Thank You Review: Thank You Elia Wise for your thoughts and your inspiration. I can't wait to meet you. The universe is really a friendly place. This planet can be very unfriendly at times. We need to be reminded that we are being helped and loved (behind the scenes if you will) at all times. I have only had a few moments in my life where I could feel the presence of help. But in absence of that "presence" feeling there are books like this one that let you know. This book is very moving. If any of you know of other similar unusual writings - email me please (xobehtedistuo@yahoo.com). Thank you for your time.
