Summary: Satisfaction of Human Questioning
Review: "These books have satisfied a deep need in me to know the answers to the age-old questions we all have asked: Why is there so much suffering in the world? Will there ever be peace on Earth? Who am I? Why am I here? Where did I come from? The answers to these questions are so awe-inspiring and heart-warming that it is impossible for me to see any members of mankind as anything less than a hero - or divine hero - because these books tell us that we are here on this small planet in all the vastness of creation, of which our universe is a small part, to serve and expand the consciousness of all creation in a truly magnificent way."

Summary: Rediscovering ourselves
Review: I decided to write this review because I believe the previous reviewers don't really do justice to this book. Appreciative as their comments are, they really do not convey the magnificence of this work. I'm not sure I can do it myself, but I'll do my best in the following lines.
First of all, this book is huge, which means that you will be reading it for a long time. Why is this relevant? Because whenever you touch the book, or carry it with you, there is an amazingly positive energy that emanates from it and gradually transforms you into a far more evolved being than you used to be. Therefore, in periods when you don't have time to read, just carry the book with you when you're walking down the streets, or put it under your pillow at night before you go to sleep. I assure you that, unless you have strong psychic blocks against spiritual evolution, it will operate wonders in your sense of well-being.
This transformative energy that I mention emanates, I believe, from its author, Zoosh, the entity that Robert Shapiro channels. Zoosh is an interdimensional entity whose main purpose it is to give us greater understanding about ourselves and the universe. One of the means that he uses to this end is to tell us of our history on this planet since we were seeded here, billions of years ago. Although that story is fascinating, the point is obviously not to entertain the reader, but to help the reader understand the historical roots of countless human problems. The understanding of these root causes does make it easier for us to address those problems.
The reasons why he explains humans were created are truly amazing. Although I read books before that hinted at this specific issue, I had never seen it as well explained as it is in The Explorer Race. In particular, the reason, as explained by Zoosh, why there is so much negativity on Earth, and specifically in our lives, really is mind-blowing. You really will grow as a human being as you read the hundreds of pages in which Zoosh explains this matter in detail.
One peculiarity of Zoosh's tale is that he is never judgmental in his accounts, and also that he explains complicated matters without ever generating fear in the reader. This results in what I believe to be the only shortcoming of the book, which is that he tends to become rather vague when he is talking about shady events. Still, one can get detail elsewhere, and in any case lack of information is one thing this book cannot be accused of, when seen as a whole.
To conclude this review, I believe that it is important to mention that this book will be very useful for people who already have read channeled material, but have gotten scared with some of the discoveries they have made into this new world. It is a book that is designed to explain a lot of stuff, but at the same time decrease the reader's level of fear in these matters. Zoosh truly is a wonderful being, and he will help you make sense of issues that I believe few others can.

Summary: One of The Finest channeled books I've come across
Review: If you are new to this genre of reading or if you as myself are a well seasoned reader/seeker of truth and new age (I hate that term from the neg. conotations it has generated) info. This book is an excellent source. It is well put together very well and the other books in the series are also excellent. I have wide background in this type of info. A lot of which is personal. If you want to learn about the BIG Picture about life on earth and beyond this is a great book for a novice /pro. I especially like the fact that the info. here is not in any way fear based or scary. Every Chapter will leave you with good a warm feeling. the work is pepered with things that you can put into practice. It really ties in all of the other "realites" that you may have come across in other books. Shapiro is a powerfull Channel and asks good questions. The main contact is "Zoosh" who is disembodied entity that has a perspective as High and in-depth as our creator's. Read it and find yourself saying AH-HA. It all makes perfect sense! ---Peace
