Editorial Reviews

Review

Salt's mesmerizing style and attention to detail take you along a journey of the soul. Easy to read, you are drawn into this chronicle and end up not wanting to put this volume down. -- The Light Connection, October 1997

This book changed my life. The stories reminded me of Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan adventures without the mystification, and Marlo Morgan's Mutant Message with its Aboriginal downunder influence. -- Speaking Presence, November 1997

Voices In The Dreamtime empowers women as it nourishes men. Salt likes to think of herself as a speaker rather than a writer. Yet her writing is tight, fun to read, easy to understand and many of her sentences are beautiful, crammed so full of wisdom they belong in a book of quotations. Eternal truths simplified, exemplified, made fresh with enthusiasm, love and compassion. The kind of book readers tell their loved ones about. -- The Bridge, India June 1998, Writers' Lifeline Magazine, Canada, July l998.

From the Publisher

An innovative, fascinating story for women, men and young adults of all cultures who seek understanding of their own life experiences ... a rare combination of vulnerability, simplicity and wisdom.

This review is from: Voices in the Dreamtime, A Journey Into The Self (Paperback)

"Voices in the Dreamtime: A Journey Into The Self" is the autobiographical record of one woman's journey to find herself in her truth and her Divine Spirit. The lessons she has learned are the most powerful, fundamental truths that I have ever encountered. The first time I heard them (from Sydney herself), it changed the way I saw myself, the world, and the possibilities my life held for me. These lessons have stood the test of time in my life and are still a part of who I am and what I believe. Rereading what I was taught ten years ago has reminded me of myself and propels me forward with the integrity that leads me through to my life's purpose.

Sydney's style of writing is enjoyable and can be read quickly, but what is expressed in this book is worth the time to ponder and understand. As her story delves into integrating her lost Selves, she learns about honesty of spirit. She learns that this deepest level of honesty requires emotional expression, and the wisdom to learn from the lessons life presents instead of being victimized by them. This truth requires her to take responsibility for her feelings, beliefs, and actions. It demands from her a commitment to speak her personal truth. Along the way, she finds love, losses, and the joy of owning her Self.

The most important gift this book gives its readers is the awareness that each person is a part of the landscape being painted at this time on the planet. All of us have a responsibility to ourselves, the lessons we have chosen to learn in our lifetime, and our journey back to the Divine Spirit that is in each of us. In the integration of the individual lies the connected power of the whole. Her message of the spirit's power to heal and find its soul purpose remains a timely one for seekers with open hearts and minds.
