Summary: I have questions
Review: As you read this book, ask yourself what reason you have to believe what this man is writing. Melchizedek wrote "Then Kent State happened. The whole school system across the United States closed down, and they gave all the students straight Bs and let them go. So I got my fine arts degree without having to finish the last little bit." If you were in college in May of 1970 do you remember the whole school system closing down? Melchizedek also says that the peer reviewed journals Science and Nature have included articles that confirm psychic abilities of Chinese children. Does anyone have a reference for those articles? Another strange remark is when Melchizedek says that physics "isn't really a science at all." You wouldn't be using a computer right now if physics were a deluded field such as alchemy. It all started when a big green angel and a big purple angel appeared in his living room, according to Melchizedek. Hmmm, whose opinions should I respect most, educated physicists whose research has led to the tools I use every day, or the man who tells me physicists and archeologists are liars, he saw angels and I just need to take it all on faith? I can't pretend to know if Melchizedek really saw angels, but I don't believe Melchizedek has the answer to life. I'd love to see those transcripts from Cal...

Summary: You can't be serious
Review: Drunvalo Melchizedek brings gullibility to new highs or lows depending whether or not you are standing up or rolling on the ground with laughter. This is the ultimate in new age hogwash.
Brace yourself people we have angels, atlantians, alchemists,
Sacred geometry, of course we can't forget the Egyptians, UFO and lots of other highly potent information about the tat brotherhood that must have sceptics like James Randi at randi.org shaking in their boots. I would have returned this drivel the next day if it wasn't so good for a chuckle or two when opening the book at random. Inconsistencies? No problem for Mr. Melchizedek and I quote "the evidence I learned this from is not important... so I say to you if you find an error, look deeper." For more profound mistakes?
He continues by saying "If you get hung up on the information by overestimating its value you will miss the point of the work" He was right he lost me right then and there and that was only the introduction. If you can prove anything you said in your book Mr. Randi will give you a million dollars. Good luck dude.
If it wan't so ridiculously amusing it would be just plain bad.
Used car salesmanship at its finest.

Summary: Challenge Your Daunting Intellect with this Book of Sand
Review: Ever reread a book and have the strange sensation that this can't possibly be the same book you read earlier? That happens to me a lot with these books. A book of Sand!
Vol 1 and 2 combined have had a profound impact on my spirituality and personal awareness. What higher recommendation can I offer????? This book has inspired me to consistently meditate as an ongoing practice, can your book do that?????????
I don't claim to understand all that is offered in this book, or subscribe to it 100% But I recommend it to anyone who is open minded about the nature of reality. If you are bored with your existence or you feel like what you're reading these days isn't inspiring you to higher thoughts or challenging your daunting intellect, pick this book up. Then reread this book, as your consciousness expands, new insights will be revealed.For more on What is a Book of Sand? Go to the Lewis Carroll Appreciation Society! The little voice sighed deeply. It was very unhappy, evidently, and Alice would have said something pitying to comfort it, if it would only sigh like other people!

Summary: Hey! get out of my merkaba!
Review: For those who are unfamiliar with Drunvalo Melchizedek, he claims to be a twelfth dimensional walk-in who has studied with 72 teachers from ALL religious paths. One of his first teachers had a massive underground laboratroy in Burnaby B.C. and he had unlocked the secret of the philosopher's stone - he could transmute lead to gold! he is a soft spoken man wiht a pony tail who plays the flute. he is a man who is somehow simultaneously arrogant and humble. A man who is making a LOT OF MONEY of his books and seminars, but, hey, a guys got to make a living, right? the book is an excellent introduction/intermediate text on Sacred geometry with lots of nice big pictures/diagrams.

Summary: silly.
Review: I consider myself pretty open minded with respect to "new age" things, but this book was ridiculous. Melchizidek has an irritating tendency to refer to this and that latest (pseudo)scientific discovery without giving any references at all. It would have been better if he had not attempted to give references at all, and said that he "channeled" the whole thing.

Summary: absurd
Review: I really tried to give this book a fair chance. I have read and enjoyed (even believed) many like it, but this one is rediculous. I give credit to the fact that many things he has knowledge of were told to him by spirits, that is fine, but many of his references read something like -- the pentagon did a study...-- who is the pentagon? where can i read more about it? his references in the back of the book are other theory compilation books like his, there is rarely a mention of a specific study done that can be further researched. If i really wanted to learn more about where his speculations came from, I would be on a wild goose chase. It is all heresy. Another thing is his outrageous claims. One says something like--the trillionares are ALL from Martian desent-- what kind of absolute claim like this could hold water. I have to give some credit to the pole shifting. he was right on here, and does a great job explaining it (that is where the one star comes from). I cannot believe in dolphin people though. one book that is similar to this one, but much better is Mitakuye Oyasin (we are all related) much better. check it out.

Review: If you are have an interest in finding out what the holograms & flower of life are about then peruse the book with all previous reviews fully in mind. Have grains of salt nearby. As far as this book being All hearsay - the melchizedek method is all chanelled -- back to the grains of salt...

Summary: I use this book to teach critical thinking
Review: If you--like some reviewers--love and embrace New Age books then skip this review; it is written by a scientist and a teacher who has no patience for scam artists. That said: Imagine buying a $2000 camera, getting it home and opening it up only to discover that it is broken, that in fact the insides have been gutted and all you have is an empty case... well; at least now you realize why the guy in the alley only charged you $400 for it. Welcome to this book, a nonsensical assembly of pseudoscience and poorly written free association that steals pretty diagrams from real sources to turn a lazy buck. It has merit *in my world* only as a study in the way that people take advantage of one another. Where 'my world' includes Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Bernhard Reimann, David Hilbert, John Conway, and Paul Erdos; the people whose work is worth reading. If you are interested in this world, the one they inhabit, and in particular if you are interested in the wonderful and genuine subject of geometry then you might enjoy _Mathematical Recreations_ edited by David A. Klarner, _Journey Through Genius_ by William Dunham, or any math book by Martin Gardner. Your time spent will be rewarded because the subject matter is logical, self-consistent, and so very beautiful; and there really is a camera inside the case.
