5.0 out of 5 stars
Did Michael Schuster REALLY channel messages from Hitler????, October 7, 2003
This review is from: Conversations with Adolf Hitler, 1992-1994 (Paperback)
I'm giving this book 5 stars for being well done in its genre, NOT because I necessarily agree with the content. I already devoted an entire chapter ("Did the Soul of Hitler Repent?") to this book and its claims in my own published work, "From Ashes to Healing: Mystical Encounters with the Holocaust" (available here on Amazon),so I'm not going to re-hash all that in this review. Suffice it to say, if this material is indeed the voice of Hitler speaking from beyond the grave, then he still has a lot of serious soul-searching to do.
The most interesting part of the book, to me at least, was the description of the self-made isolation "bunker" that Hitler's soul shut itself up in for decades. If, like me, you believe that there is a "life review" after death and if, as so many near-death experiencers (NDE-ers) have reported, this review makes you face all the pain that you have caused to others, then it is perfectly plausible that Hitler was terrified of his personal Judgement Day after death. At that point, the channeled Hitler seems genuinely repentant. I found myself wondering: What if Hitler had had an NDE during his lifetime on earth? Would he have changed his behavior? Probably not. As the book progresses, it becomes clear that he is still in "denial" and making excuses for all the horror that he caused in his life on earth. The chapter on "Why the Holocaust" is filled with repugnant "blame the victim" material -- the "bargaining stage" of recovery -- where Hitler tries to find some sort of karmic justification for his behavior. He never gets beyond that stage in the book. At one point, the "Conversations" claim that the Holocaust victims were in altered states of consciousness in the camps, and therefore did not feel the pain of the torture. Try telling that to the living survivors.
Regarding format, Schuster's "Conversations" are well-edited and readable. So much of the New Age channeled material reads like ponderous gibberish, because the channeler(s) regard every grammatical error and idiosyncracy of speech as if it were sacred writ, never to be corrected. Not so with Michael Schuster. Either he channels in near-perfect English, or he took the time to copy-edit his material into a more literate format. That's why he gets 5 stars from me, even though I highly disagree with much of what he (and Hitler?) wrote.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A rare spiritually powerful book, July 6, 2009
This review is from: Conversations with Adolf Hitler, 1992-1994 (Paperback)
This channeled book is rare among channeled books in that it explains in simple terms subjects such as; life in the physical plane, life in the astral plane, why do beings incarnate on earth, what is the nature of karma, why would a spiritual being "volunteer" to become a victim in a Holocaust in a manifested reality upon the planet Earth, how is reality created on Earth, on the astral planes, on other planes of existence within God's overall creation, and why there are no victims incarnate upon earth playing out the earthly drama we call "life," etc.
Michael Schuster is a brilliant individual I've had the opportunity to meet some years ago. He has done an excellent job in preparing this book for presentation to the planet.
Truth is available on the planet. Importantly, first a person must desire to know the truth and not some fabricated illusion designed to enslave the masses of humanity in a state of confused ignorance so that the few have less trouble controlling the many.
To any seeker of truth, this book is highly recommended.
