Reader Reviews
I gave this book 5 stars for the information pertaining to Aura Soma products - the information is detailed not only about each individual product, but also regarding differences between different types of products as well as how to use them. In that respect, it will prove as an invaluable guide if you are using Aura Soma products. As for the esoteric information presented in this book - at times it is botched up and it seems that the authors themselves were confused. At the beginning of the book they quote Pelham stating that his work (creating flower essences) is not like alchemy because he considers "alchemy as something egocentric, for the alchemist sees him or herself as one who creates something". All that I can say is that the individual is truly ignorant of alchemy and genuine alchemists because the goal of alchemy is just the same as of any spiritual tradition - Self-realization, realization of Oneness with All, realization that all is spiritual and it is impossible to engage in true alchemy without bringing Spirit into equasion. Alchemy is about transmutation of one's "lower nature", or one's "mortal self" (mortal consciousness) into spiritual, Aura-Soma system is, according to this book, conceived upon the Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah), and Vicky Wall, being of Hassidic background has some initial challenge naming one of the products "Christ". The authors took care to point out that this product is not named after the "historical" Christ, but after Christ consciousness. I may add that for some people this distinction doesn't really exist - after all, Christ (historical) did get the "title" Christ, as he attained "Christ consciousness" (a realization of Oneness with All). There are many products which are named after an assortment of ascended masters (by the way, among others, there is also St. Germain, who is very well known as an "alchemist"). Instead of perhaps simply saying that the products are intended to stimulate the vibrations in the user that are represented by these "masters", the authors have brought in Theosophy as a "convincer" of the existence of the masters. While there is a rather lengthy discourse on Theosophy, there is hardly anything in those quotations said about the "masters" and I think that the best way for any individual to learn more about "masters' specific vibrations" is through personal experience. Perhaps, they should've just left the products speak for themselves, because they truly are wonderful and they will work for you even if you simply follow your intuition and your inner guidance in picking the right ones. My original choice of products, before reading this book, did not change - if anything it became reinforced and I may add that I had many wonderful experiences with thes products from the very first day I began using them. The colors are feast for the eyes, and the herbal essences and scents make you feel as if your mind and heart, soul and body are nourished and uplifted. I've also had some very interesting dreams, so all I can say about the products I have been tremendously enjoying them and find that they have enriched my life. Comment | | (Report this)
