Rating:  - Skeptical . . .
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Invitation to join a cult. I am not interested.
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.
Rating: - Exceedingly wise, dangerous, or both?
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.
Rating:  - Interesting and helpful
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.
Rating: - Spiritual Regression
Sadly, we live in a society that has taught us not to trust ourselves or our own intuitive knowing. Society has established experts in every field, and we allow them to dictate our decisions and direct our lives. This might be a good idea in areas where we have no expertise, such as house or car repairs, but it can be disastrous when our spiritual growth is concerned. Dr. Zhi Gang Sha is presented as not only a medical doctor, but a grandmaster of many ancient disciplines. Unfortunately, his expertise in these areas does not keep him from embracing some of the more backward beliefs common to many established religions.
Dr. Sha's book is repetitive to the point that the reader may feel that they are being brainwashed. It is contradictory throughout. Dr. Sha promises obedient practitioners of his methods "powerful and transforming blessings," but also states that they will have to undergo intense suffering and tests for thousands of lifetimes before they can work their way though the many levels of heaven he claims exist. Dr. Sha employs valueless "circular logic" throughout the book. Just as many followers of various religions claim that their religious book is true because the book itself claims to be true, Dr. Sha wants his readers to believe that the Divine visits him regularly and a new 15,000 year long "Soul Light Era" began on August 8, 2003, simply because he says it's true.
