Short
Summary of the book:
This book was not what I expected it to be
and at the end, I’m still left wondering. Is this a fantasy? Is this an attempt
at a self-help book? The author talks about current work, a childhood filled with
mythical and fantasy figures. Or were they real after all?
What
I liked about the book:
The book was easy to read in places and story-like.
But it was also confusing.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
How it stated the origin of disease and
cancer. I certainly hope the author is not asking us to use her methods instead
of traditional medicine. It might be an adjuvant treatment but not instead of
traditional medicine.
My
favourite bits in the book:
The stories.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
The certainty in statements regarding health.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
The title suggests this is the first in the
series. I am not aware of any subsequent books at this stage.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
I have not read any other book similar to
this one.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

If
you like fairytales or self-help, this
book may be the book for you.

Description by Author:
Different people live here on Earth. There
are those of us whose life belong only for a half to the visible world.
Such people understand the language of
animals and hear what the grass sings at dawn. They know the will of gods and
live according to the laws of the Universe. They feel every living being on
Earth as themselves, filled with love and tenderness to every one without
exception. In the Christian tradition they are called saints. In Hindu
tradition – sadhu. In Buddhism – the enlightened.
When and how do such people realize who they
are? How do they find the Teachers who help to know their essence and to reveal
their abilities? In the first book of the series Master Olga Gomon tells about
her way, her magical childhood and her first teachers.
