Letter to Earth [Hardcover]

Elia Wise (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 4, 2000

'Letter to Earth' is a brilliant and inspiring explanation of the nature of the Universe and our place as individuals within it. We are offered clear, intimate and accessible answers to questions most of us reluctantly accept as unanswerable: Is there a God? Why do people get sick, have diseases and suffer? How can we free our children from the patterns of the past? Why is it so hard to realise our dreams? What can be done to change the world? The answers that Elia Wise provides are ground-breaking and take into account the transformational role of consciousness in all human endeavours, from science to spirituality. Written from direct experience, 'Letter to Earth' is a handbook that explains, in well-crafted, accessible language, how we create reality, how life works on planet Earth and what it really means to be a person. It offers a clear understanding of our potential to expand into an unfolding universe of possibilities. "Beautiful and serene, lucid and wise, this book challenges us to get a life - an inner life" - Matthew Fox, author of 'Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh'.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Using a question-and-answer format, Elia Wise has assembled a collection of 22 essays that read like letters from God. Each essay responds to a question, such as "Who runs the switchboard? Is there a God?" Wise then writes an answer, such as, "There is no grand puppeteer moving you around by invisible strings. The creative Source endows all energy with the self-governing power of integral intelligence. Every value in the Universe, and therefore every Being in the Universe, is interactive and interdependent in one integrated circuit."

If this seems like woo-woo gobbledy-gook, read no further. But if there is a spark that ignites your attention, be prepared for a book that explores intuition, quantum physics, the energy of chi, and "essential values" all in one sweeping breath. Like a Carlos Castaneda or Stephen Hawking book, Letter to Earth should be digested slowly. It also requires you to check your skepticism at the door. This is a writer who eloquently preaches to the New Age choir, addressing questions like, who's dreaming when you are asleep, and where are you when you are dreaming? What is déjà vu? "If you are seeking answers, you need to ask questions and be available to receive a response--wherever it may come from," writes Wise. "It could come from the grocer, the radio, the garden or the Cosmos." And for many it could come from this unique teacher. --Gail Hudson

From Publishers Weekly

Warmly received by spiritual thinkers Neal Donald Walsch and Matthew Fox , Wise's eloquent, challenging work, which was originally self-published in 1998, is likely to find a wider audience in this new edition. Wise describes herself as a participant in a Greater Universe, who arrived early at the "convergence of self and soul." She believes that we're approaching an Age of Inspired Realism, as evidenced by current movements toward spirituality, simplicity and nature. Writing from her expanded consciousness, not her human point of view, she opens with an achingly beautiful letter to her young daughter about why she chose the task of explaining what she believes to be universal truths. She devotes each chapter to a question about expanded consciousness, ranging from the existence of God to the nature of good and evil, life after death, astral space, bilocation, interdimensional activity and human communication with others in the cosmos. The heart of the work lies in the author's deeply felt, subtly expressed wisdom and wonderful description of enlightenment. We can all access our multi-dimensional powers, she believes, by acting with love, integrity, honesty, inner-directedness and nonjudgmental self-love. Even readers who become impatient with abstract discussions of life-force energy and vibrational magnetism will benefit from persevering with this book and contemplating Wise's insights. 8-city author tour.

This review is from: Letter to Earth (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Letter to Earth: Extraordinary wisdom, July 28, 1998

This review is from: Letter to Earth (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible addendum to "Conversations With God" !, October 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Letter to Earth (Hardcover)

This book makes available, a window into the thought-patterns of "highly evolved beings" as they live and interact with those of us on present-day Earth. This is the "contact" you have been waiting for!!! It is a pleasure to read and then to "internalize" every word. I anxiously await a rendition of THIS book into an audio format. Whoever counts Elia Wise as their friend and companion is very lucky, indeed.
