5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, Insightful, Informative, and Fun!, April 24, 2008

By	Princess Read A Lot ""Betsy"" (NYC, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a MUST READ for anyone who is interested in the topics of divine guidance, ancient oracle traditions, the power of synchronicity and the immortal nature of consciousness. i found it to be engaging and written in an easy conversational style, using autobiographical stories as teaching tools as well as including stories from many of her clients. i think Colette Baron-Reid has managed to breathe new life into some dusty old new age topics. What makes this book particularly interesting is the questions it invites rather than the author imposing answers or her imposing her opinions. In reading through to the end I was left pondering the deep relationship we all have with Nature and all living things and all that implies. The historic research was very interesting and adequately reminds us that history has been written by the victors during times of turmoil and transition and rarely shows the total truth of cultural evolution. The book tackles religious superstition with a sense of humor without being offensive and gives the reader some insight into the complex relationship between humanity and its collective need to explain spiritual experience. It left me with hope and a lot to think about. The exercises included were fun and meaningful although some required a little more thought than I expected. The symbol guide in the book will make this a useful reference guide for years to come. i wish she could have flushed out some of the sections .. the numerology was too short but i guess that would mean a whole other book. I was definitely interested in what the next book would be about!
I highly recommend this book. It is an excellent follow up from her book Remembering The Future, as a matter of fact I liked this one even better. I've read many books on this subject but this one really spoke to me. It's obvious she's authentic. I saw her speak at a Hay House event and was impressed by her incredible accuracy and compassion in dealing with the people asking her questions. There's a good buzz about her for a reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!, April 27, 2008

By	Rhonda Runzo (Deer Park, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So many 'psychic' books that I have read seem to be written from the ego. The authors want to impress me, but they always turn me off instead. I love this book. It is so easy to read and so helpful. It answers questions that I have in a very down to earth manner. (pun intended). I have since ordered the other book by Colette and I am hoping it is as easy a read! If you are interested in spirit guides and messages then I definitely recommend Messages From Spirit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but falls a little short, July 6, 2008

By	jcjoeyfreak (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

After waiting a whole month, Amazon finally delivered this book to me. It had been so long that I had forgotten I even ordered it. Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise when it finally arrived.

I was intrigued by the title and subject matter and decided to give it a go. I'm currently on a spiritual kick and enjoy these sorts of books, especially the kind that have to do with signs and spiritual guides in general. I love hearing about other people's connection with spirit.

The book gives an interesting exploration into spiritual messages and how they're received, but never really gets in too deep. Colette seems to only barely skim the outer edges of her subject, leaving the reader thirsty for more insight as the book goes on. The book also gives the impression that the author was so excited about her subject matter that she jumped from place to place without really landing anywhere. It was kind of confusing.

Her writing style was also very hard to follow at times, like she was going for a friendly conversational tone that only fell flat because she was trying too hard. I also got the sense that the author was going for confidence in her abilities but chose her words poorly. This made her come across like she thought she was the only 100% accurate psychic in the world. It was a little disconcerting, as I'm sure that's not what she meant.

There was also a whole boring chapter where she gets into religion that I felt I had to slog through. It made no sense at all and it felt like she was only relaying something she overheard from someone else, trying to make it like it was her own discovery. It was terrible and I learned nothing from that chapter. I just wanted her blither to be over with and for her to move on. She eventually did, but the following chapters weren't exactly revelations either.

While this book contains some interesting stories from Colette and her friends, it's not really all that meaty or informative. I finished the book feeling a little confused. Was that all? Isn't there more? Wasn't I supposed to learn something? These are the questions I asked myself when I finally put the book down. It left me feeling pretty unsatisfied compared to how much I was hoping to get from this book.

All in all, I would recommend it, since it does have some pretty interesting stories, but if you're looking to be fulfilled or inspired somehow, this book isn't it.
