5.0 out of 5 stars No Ordinary Book--Invoke the Soul Power "Downloaded" to This Book, November 13, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Dr. Sha's Soul Communication book describes how you can use soul communication to communicate with other souls, including the souls of animals, plants, inanimate objects, and those in the Soul World. Dr. Sha teaches that everything has a soul including all animate and inanimate things. Using soul communication you can receive wisdom and healing from any soul in the universe. You can use soul communication for healing, teaching, service, and advancing your spiritual journey. The major spiritual channels for doing soul communication are Soul Language, Direct Soul Communication, Third Eye, and Direct Knowing. There are many practices and blessings included for opening these channels.

Dr. Sha's Soul Communication book is no ordinary book. Dr. Sha is a very high spiritual master. Spiritual masters have the ability to transmit spiritual power. As I mentioned, Master Sha teaches that everything has a soul, including the Soul Communication book. In addition to the power of the soul of the Soul Communication book, Dr. Sha has transmitted or "downloaded" additional souls and blessings to every Soul Communication book. So while you are reading the book you are receiving the blessings. Also, you can invoke these special souls downloaded to the book to help you open your spiritual channels and to help you heal and transform. To invoke these souls, you would say, "Dear soul, mind, and body of the Divine treasures downloaded to this book. I love and respect you. Please give me a blessing to fully open my spiritual channels (or whatever your request is). Do a great job. Thank you." Then chant using the mantra described for the Message Center on page 30 of the book, or chant using Soul Language (page 32). You can also hold the book against your Message Center with the front cover facing you (or the front cover facing away from you if you want to send a blessing to someone else). Chant for several minutes or longer. Then close by saying "thank you, thank you, thank you." If you are interested in using the power of more of Master Sha's downloads, visit his web page to find the Divine downloads that Master Sha has given to all humanity or to all souls. Go to drsha dot com, then click on the Universal Service menu, then select "Divine Gifts." See the information on "Universal Downloads." One of these gifts that will help you to open your spiritual channels is the Divine Soul Transplant of Divine Level 1 Message Center. (NOTE: I have not heard Dr. Sha say what blessings he has downloaded to the paperback version of the book. However, the paperback version is new in that you can have several Divine souls downloaded to you, the reader, from the Divine just by reading specific pages in the book. The Divine souls that you receive carry divine frequency with divine love, light, forgiveness, compassion, and light. This is explained on page xv in the front of the book. To receive the first Divine download in the book, read pages 19-20.)

I would also comment about the Third Eye practices beginning on page 58 of the hardback version. Be sure to read footnote 14 on page 104 before starting. (In the paperback version, the Third Eye practices begin on page 52. The footnote appears to have been omitted, but it stated, "... If you have headaches, hypertension, glaucoma, a brain tumor, brain cancer, Alzheimer's, or are recovering from a stroke, do not practice any Third Eye exercises, because these illnesses involve energy blockages in the brain.") Page 59 of the hardback version (and page 54 of the paperback version) describes using a "lotus flower" hand position. The hands should be positioned in front of the Message Center (heart chakra) with the fingers pointing up (see the picture on page 80 of Dr. Sha's Power Healing: Four Keys to Energizing Your Body, Mind and Spirit book). If you have any of the health conditions listed in footnote 14, you can still develop your third eye, but you must do it differently. You can use the creative visualization meditations starting on page 125 of the Power Healing book to open your third eye. These meditations include Raging Sea, 5 Colored Horses, Ginseng Tree, Finding a Pearl, and Flashing Images. One of Dr Sha's students with a very powerful third eye developed his third eye by doing the Ginseng Tree meditation every night. On drsha dot com you can also find tapes or DVD's with these meditations to help you open your third eye faster.) There are more instructions for developing the Third Eye in Dr. Sha's Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality Book on pages 318+.

There are some great insights in Soul Communication, such as how to deal with blockages in your life (paperback page 204), or how to help New Orleans in a different way (paperback page 208). I hope this book assists you on your spiritual journey.

1.0 out of 5 stars Uncomfortably commercial and exclusive, November 9, 2008
This review is from: Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (Soul Power) (Paperback)
I have read a variety of books in the spirituality realm and something about this author doesn't strike me as authentic. I have read many reviews here and the most disturbing are the ones that give little detail as they blindly praise this author's divinity and wisdom.

Here's the thing that I find most uncomfortable: You don't have to sell spirituality. No one has the perfect way that you can only find in his book, or shall I say "series" of books. There are many ways to reach forgiveness, peace, harmony and love. This teaching gives me an uncomfortable feeling of exclusivity. In fact, I wondered why a book about the soul, as written by Sha, was not published by Hay House--a very inclusive, "try everything that works for you"-type of company. After reading the focus and tone, I realize why Hay House might have passed on this manuscript.

I became skeptical early on, but I tried to keep an open mind and give his lessons a try. I only got as far as "Soul Language" in Soul Wisdom when he gave me a number to chant over and over, but I don't know what the number means--it's a secret and he promised to sell that secret to me in another book later on.

"Master Sha" allowed me to call on his soul as I performed my Divine Download, as long as I paid him the common courtesy of returning it when I was done. Perhaps this is an Eastern practice I have never heard of, but it felt too much to me like asking the Priest to bless my relationship with God. The way I believe, I never needed the priest to communicate with God and I don't need Master Sha to "be with me" as I meditate and find peace and wisdom from within.

I feel duped by the five-star reviews and the lack of information here posted on Amazon. I bought this book because of its previous best-seller status and the quantity of high reviews, but I agree with a previous review: something's off about the system here. I would go so far as to say that Team Sha posted more than half of the reviews to promote his "teachings."

The world is in need of and has a desire for a spiritual movement, unfortunately I feel that this "soul series" is cashing in on the market. You can find wonderful, inclusive lessons from Hay House Publishers. I recommend Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Jerry and Esther Hicks--to name a few from that camp.

If you don't want Hay House, try Martha Beck, who writes wonderful books about finding your soul's purpose and following your destiny. Surprisingly, none of the authors I have mentioned require you put their books to your chest in order to invoke the healing power. Save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars I was thinking of ordering this book, July 1, 2008
So I read the reviews. With one or two exceptions, all the reviews were written within a week of one another and they all sounded remarkably alike. My guess is that students/followers of this author were sent a message after publication of this book asking them to write reviews. Who are these people trying to fool? I would expect his followers to like the book. I wanted to read what OTHERS thought of it. This completely put me off of buying this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Something is wrong..., May 29, 2009
This review is from: Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (Soul Power) (Paperback)
Something is wrong when someone tries to convince you that you need thousands of dollars of work by a spiritual intermediary in order for your business, relationship, health and pet to be well all the while telling you that you can do it yourself.

When Dr. Sha gives "free" group healing via phone, the sessions last for a few hours. Less than one hour into it, Dr. Sha's most expensive package is being heavily promoted. Less expensive options appear to be ignored.

Dr. Sha has an extensive marketing campaign to sell books and "healing". Do a Google search using the search term "dr sha book campaign" and click on the first link (Tao Bums) to read more on Dr. Sha's marketing. This also contains info on how the Dr. Sha machine gets Amazon to delete critical reviews.

This book is no different from any of the others Sha has written -- they all seek to get desperate people to spend thousands of dollars to be "healed" or "cleansed".

I have no issue with people charging for their services. Everyone has to earn a living. Sha charges a few hundred to several thousand dollars for things like (I quote): Karma Cleansing - Personal - $1000; Karma Cleansing - Ancestral, Mothers' Side - $1500; Karma Cleansing - Pet - $500, and the list goes on.

He has a campaign right now for his next book comes out in early June (Divine Soul Songs). He offers the "cleanses" in exchange for people taking the money they would have spent on cleanses and using it to buy the number of books that would equal that cost, and then give them out to people. In other words, Sha gets you to spend your money to promote his book. This information is at his website.

Bottom line -- there are so many people who share their knowledge for reasonable amounts of money there is no reason to believe that "Dr. Sha" has something you need that you can't get elsewhere. IMO, Sha is the opposite of what he wants people to believe. I'll leave it at that.

2.0 out of 5 stars commercialized dogma, April 22, 2009
This review is from: Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (Soul Power) (Paperback)
It is with mixed feelings that I write this- The world DOES need a soul movement - and Dr. Sha's teachings are based on some basic truths and provide empowering tools that can provide benefit...

But, I'm just not sure it needs the ultra-organized commercialized dogma of the Dr.Sha "Mission":

First of all, similar to his previous books, don't be duped by the "best seller" status or 5 star ratings:

1) members of the Mission contribute thousands of dollars in lieu of `blessings' from Master Sha as a part of a `book campaign' - these funds are used directly by Master Sha's institute to internally buy books from retailers 2 or 3 at a time to falsely and unethically stage the book's popularity (Google "Dr Sha book campaign" if you don't believe me)
2) members of the Mission are urged to write positive reviews about Master Sha's books, and get discounts for it...thus all the prosaic 5 star reviews.

It's not really that they want to sell lots of books - they want to attract more members to the Mission- i.e. to join the Sunday Blessings and the Retreats....which is where the real money is made. It's not that unlike this story: google "Did dirty tricks create a best-seller"

Sure, the members deeply believe that they are promoting truth (indeed, other religions have done much worse in the name of God)...but personally, I don't find these methods to be all that `saintly'(it might even be karmic)... if there are real truths in the book and the Mission it would sell itself on its own merit like most best sellers do.

And what `services' does Master Sha offer at his blessings and retreats? Well, Master Sha believes that he is a "Channel" of the Divine, and he (and only he) has been given special powers. So he (and only he) can offer you- via the "Dr Sha dot com" channel (check it out for yourself):
- Divine Protection against every imaginable hazard
- clear your Karma for $2000. just like that - no followup or practice or nothing...even Dr, Sha calls it a "short cut"
- Transplants for diseased organs
- Body Soul Transplant for $5000 (not explicitly listed in the web site, but it is a prerequisite, among others, to be come a Master Teacher Healer)
- Etc.
(actually, you can usually get the blessings for less because there is always a last minute special to appeal to the "shoppers")

What is a Body Soul Transplant? You current soul leaves you and a new soul (a saint) chooses you. Its sad that some people are so down they feel they need a brand new soul....and I guess all the poor folks have little chance at becoming a saint...how exclusive.

By the way, for the higher services, you aren't told the cost of these until you apply first, in which Dr. Sha receives Divine guidance in whether he should accept you. Imagine trying to say no after the Divine supposedly accepted you (but of course, these are "priceless treasures").

But that's just the tip of the iceberg...the later chapters of his books speak of the higher Soul Transformations etc. The "highest" downloads for the `chosen' ones are offered only at the "invitation only" retreats (i.e. for those who have `passed' the previous courses)...

Dr Sha's Sunday blessings are as follows:
He offers a free blessing (download). Then his top assistants (the "professionals" on "dr sha dot com" who have gone through the full Soul transformation and have received all the highest downloads so that their souls reside in their highest chakra and they can see with their third eye- paid for either with $ or Universal Service(tm) to the Mission) describe what they saw. Then all the people who have registered get their downloads. That's it.

Yes, the downloads might feel empowering, but inevitably you are left wanting more...if the top assistants can really see with their third eye, wouldn't you want that too? Well you can get there by getting the downloads, becoming indoctrinated through the courses and practice practice practice (the practice e.g. chanting, empowering statements etc can make you feel good) - till you believe it (or some would say become deluded?)

So inevitably, most are drawn to take the courses and to become a Universal Servant (requires you to volunteer time to the non-profit Institute that does all the `work' - whereas payments go to Dr Zhi Gang Sha LLC.). The courses all link together and coax you higher and higher, with the light at the end of the tunnel that eventually you might be able to charge for your services, like the "Professionals" on the web site - it's the classic pyramid marketing scheme.

But here is the hard part for me: people DO feel better... faith in the empowerments can help heal. But any one will feel better if they spend time getting out of their thinking brain and doing some chanting, setting good intentions, and having faith that they are empowered to make choices to make their lives better. And the collective energy at (any) group retreats is very powerful and healing. Why not rejoice in that - it might be the piece some people really need...

But when that collective energy at the retreat is highest, and people are feeling their best, that is when Dr. Sha `suggests' that his downloads can make you even better....which is made so easily done by sticking your personal barcode on a form (& voila, your credit card is charged). It's so effective that retreat registrants have to sign a legal disclaimer saying that all though the downloads are `priceless', they must spend `within their means". From my experience, few of the faithful do, unless you call credit card bills and liquidation of savings as `within your means". (many retreat attendees spend 10's of thousands)

Seems like Dr. Sha is selling water to people standing in a river. It's a shame that our consumerist society thinks we can `buy' everything. Its part of the reason we need a true soul movement.

Members of the Mission have made a huge leap of faith to jump on these tracks. But the light at the end of the tunnel might just be an oncoming train. After investing so much, it might take an even bigger leap of faith to get off...

5.0 out of 5 stars Success on the Soul Journey is Yours, November 13, 2007
By 
David Lusch (Fremont, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Zhi Gang Sha has yet again delivered a masterpiece of soul wisdom. Soul Communication clearly shows everyone how to open their major spiritual channels - Soul Language, Direct Flow, Third Eye and Direct Knowing - to have conversations with the Divine, their own souls, and any soul. The wisdom is profound. The techniques are simple. The results are amazing.

I have opened all of my spiritual channels through Dr. Sha's teachings. The wisdom and power in this book has already opened them further. The benefits have been incredible. They include receiving life guidance from the Divine and Soul World, inner peace and joy, deeper wisdom, greater understanding, the knowing of my life's purpose, and powerful healing within my soul, heart, mind, and body. Having my spiritual channels opened has empowered me to offer unconditional service to others, society, Mother Earth, and the universe.

You too can benefit. All you need to do is purchase, read, and do the practices within this book. Let the journey begin or let it continue in a most extraordinary way.

I also recommend Dr. Sha's other bestsellers, Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality, Soul Wisdom: Practical Treasures to Transform Your Life, Living Divine Relationships, and Power Healing: Four Keys to Energizing Your Body, Mind and Spirit. They all contain priceless jewels that can heal and transform your life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Information, November 2, 2008
This review is from: Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (Soul Power) (Paperback)
I found a lot of useful information in this book although it is a bit repetitious. I got a lot of healing for my back from just his web site and one of the chanting phone calls. I don't agree with everything Sha does. I think insisting his students bow 180 times every time he tells them to smacks a little bit of the control of a cult. It just takes away from free choice of expression. Sha needs to lighten up and not force people to do things his way. This is not China and people here are not marshal arts students. I am sure God is not asking people to bow 180 times.

This review is from: Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (Soul Power) (Paperback)
Chapter 4 of this wonderful book helped me heal my friend recently. He was suffering from lower back pain. I had just finished reading Chapter 4, which states on page 130, "Besides information about health issues, Soul Language itself can be used to give healing blessings." I put my hand on his lower back and spoke Soul Language for about three minutes. Then I asked him if his lower back felt any better.

He stood up and gently twisted from side to side and said in amazement, "Yes, actually it does feel better!" He was extremely pleased. I was extremely pleased also. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is a fascinating read, and extremely practical as well!
