I found "The Melding" to be a wonderfully written, richly spiritual and thought-provoking book. Through her autobiographical tale, Sharmai Amber delivers an enlightening message of taking control of life and trusting our higher self and spiritual guides to find our true destiny. It addresses many of the ancient old questions of why we are here, and the purpose of our physical incarnations on earth--and understanding and flowing with change. One of my favorite things about this book were the wise little quotations at the end of each chapter of what it means to be a "Lightworker." I recommend it highly to anyone with an open mind who is searching for individual and spiritual growth.

I think that the author owes the readers an inside look of her early to mid teen years, where such knowledge and insight must have played a crucial if not hectic mind game with herself and all of those that she tried to take down with her in her attempt to understand "THE MELDING".

Sharmai Amber grapples with her evolving beliefs though a very challenging spiritual transformation. Billed as a spiritual thriller, this nonfiction book sometimes reads like a novel and is difficult to put down. (The author herself calls it a "bizarre true story.") The storyline is indeed both intriguing and amazing, as the author and her then-husband work to unfold and understand prebirth contracts as they join with another woman to facilitate her "melding," or state of being in which both Higher Self and lower self are fully aware of both dimensions simultaneously.

The book is filled with many spiritual ideas and concepts, including prebirth contracts, various forms of soul connections, guides, angels, dark forces, channeling and much more. Emotional issues regarding sexuality are also explored, and while some readers might wince with moral objections, others may find this actually provides a deeper understanding of how spirituality and sexuality can be intertwined. In any case, there is no doubt that this is a very enlightening and thought-provoking book.

I just wanted to share my feelings on The Melding with all those out there who have read or are contemplating reading this book by Sharmai Amber. It opened my mind to the greater truths of life and self-improvement. I really felt in touch with the characters almost as if I could "feel" their presence. Never have I been so in tune with a book - I highly recommend it!

Whether you believe in the Melding or not, you can't read this book and not gain some personal insight. Not only is it easy to read, it leaves you wanting more. As I read each page I saw myself and issues I know I need to work on. There were also ones I saw that I didn't realize were there until I saw myself in Roxy. Suddenly I was saying, Oh my gosh, I do that! I found myself using information from the book that benefit my grown daughters in situations that came up while I was reading it. Had I not read the book, I would not have had the information to help them.

I was given a copy of this book by the author herself, through whatever cosmic forces, and I am now adding it to the front page of my Amazon associates store. If I could, I would donate copies to every library in existance. The things this book make you think about, not only in context of the writting, but for yourself, are outstanding! I feel this is a MUST READ for anyone who is working on self advancement.

This is a book that you can reread many times and find new nuggets of wisdom each time. I thought it reflected many levels of information, was a fun read and took many spiritual concepts and presented them in a fun easy to understand format.I laughed, I cried but most of all I was forced to think. A great gift and a must have for any library.

I was very taken with experiences in this book because of my own beliefs in both sides of the light. It was very helpful for me to hear of others personal experiences in dealing with the many dramas that can come while walking the path to enlightenment.

I just had to come back from the beyond to let everyone know that the author is not telling the whole truth Ms amber should let her public know what happened on Feb 24 1968 to get her to this point. It was very bloody. I also agree that she should be more forth comming on how she got to the point that she is at now and who she hurt to get there. And thanks for letting the world know you like to read while you poop it must be quite a sight.

I got this book free from a metaphysical shop, which had wrapped up all their impossible-to-sell merchandise and gave each customer that walked in one of those items for Yule. I had some time to kill so I ended up reading it, although I'm so NOT into this kind of thing. The story revolves around a sordid love triangle disguised in a quest to evolve this woman into some sort of evolved being. There's some sort of complicated soul-mate hierarchy involved and lots (LOTS) of convenient deus ex machinas, which totally ruin any sort of suspense. I ended up hating all of the characters in the book, they were really a pathetic, neurotic bunch. Katrina is the evolved being whom I see more as a schitzo. David is a protective dude who is attracted to the helpless, mental Katrina while being married to Roxy, whom I see as simply an emotionally abused woman caught in this space-brother-spirit-guide-newage fantasy world created by Katrina, who ends up seducing and ultimately marrying David. May they find happiness in their psychosis. I literally screamed at Roxy to leave this perverted setup and grow a spine. Oh but of course she can't or else she'll fail the space-brother tests of loyalty (which is conveyed to her entirely by "channelled" communication with the space lords by Katrina and David, is this a clue?). The one saving grace in this whole tale is that Roxy (who is actually the author) does end up realizing her marriage is not worth spit anymore and doesn't fall into the arms of the first "soul mate" she comes across. I found it very hard to deal with the triangle seeing as I went through a similar situation not too long ago (minus the space lords and schitzophrenia), and it didn't take me that long to grow a spine and leave the situation; so I really had a hard time sympathizing with the heroine, who really let herself be abused by two completely psychotic people who were supposed to "love" her. Other than that, the book was surprisingly clearly written, and the plotline wasn't so hard to follow that you got lost. All the space lord stuff was explained so that you could follow it and understand it (agreeing is another matter entirely). If it had been incoherently written, I would not have bothered with a second star.
