    I had heard rumors of this book before I read it, but had no real idea of the concept. I'll agree the book could have been better written, but I think it is unique in that it seeks to impart serious spiritual wisdom in the form of a fictional story. The most interesting concept introduced in the book to me was it's views on how individuals interact with each other and how people perpetuate conflict on a subconscious level to take away from another individuals positive energy. I thought that was speaking truth to power right there. All that being said I don't think the book was meant to be a serious religious manual, so it accomplishes it's purpose: getting the author's ideas and concepts out there in an entertaining way that will make some people check it out.

    Didn't particulary peep the racism angle though Selina C. Can you elaborate?

    This book was hokey. Badly written, but I found some of the insights useful, if nothing better than to understand what the 'new age' is all about. What I didn't like was the subtle racism in this book. A similar knock-off that I read recently -Diana Cooper's 'spiritual adventures' supposedly dictated by her spirit guide, was just as bad, in the same vein, and just as racist.

    If you're looking for real life spiritual adventure, read Shirley Maclaine 'out on a limb' or Denie Heines 'Journey to truth' much better than wading through this crap to be honest.

    Personally, what I found in this book was the realization that I should learn a lesson from all experiences because there is a reason for the experience. Those reasons are not always apparent when they are occur, but more often than not the connection between events become crystal clear. Since I had no prior knowledge of this book when I read it, I was able to read it with an open mind. IMHO.

    Although there are many interesting ideas in this book, I found it to be poorly written.

    Just a kind of 'spiritual' journey and affirming the say of 'there is no coincidence'. The book was 'over-marketing'.
