Rating: Summary: The Sword of Heaven Review: "Wonderful! The Sword of Heaven explores the fine line between fear and love, along travel's magical path to inner and outer peace."-Steve Zikman, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Traveler's Soul"This is a journey through time, a meditation on a generation coming to terms with its dark patrimony. It is a hopeful reminder that technology cannot extinguish humanity, much less the mysteries that surround us all."-Paul Saffo, Director of the Institute for the Future "A very beautiful book. The story has an intensity and inwardness that is moving to me."-Robert Bly, poet and author of Iron John "A remarkable spiritual odyssey."-Michael Rogers, novelist and editor of Newsweek.com "Aaland has written a powerful story reverberating with meaning, stepped in mythos, and as carefully tempered as a steel sword."-Mark Powelson "A captivating and enchanting tale..."-Bernard Ohanian, Editor of International editions, National Geographic Magazine "A story of a remarkable spiritual journey that will cause readers to examine their own belief systems and perceptions of cultural differences. It is inspiring and uplifting and deeply moving."-Anne Russell, Editor-in-chief, Vegetarian Times
Rating: Summary: From a Native American Partcipant Review: I was also involved in putting the Sword of Heaven. I am a Native American religious teacher. I placed the Kami at the Trinity site in New Mexico. The subtle beauty and integral integrity of this story is a great study for those living in an increasingly mannerless and faith-less American Society. I strongly recomend this book to those whose hearts really believe in Peace..... Turtle Heart Ojibway Ahnishikad
Rating: Summary: The fate of the world is in YOUR hands! Review: One cannot read this exciting book without considering in a new light some old and fundamental questions: 'Does my life REALLY make a difference in the grand scheme?' 'Is it possible that what I do in each moment of each day DIRECTLY DETERMINES whether or not human civilization advances or fails?' Mr. Aaland subtly raises these questions by sharing the remarkable story of his life over the last two decades, and leaves one wondering: Did he and his allies IN FACT bring down the Berlin Wall, end apartheid, and reverse the spiral of nuclear proliferation? These are all worthy questions, and Mr. Aaland's way of framing them-the way of the exceptional raconteur-is delightful.

Rating: Summary: Celebration of an Opportunity. Review: Reading "The Sword Of Heaven" gave me an opportunity to celebrate with the author an event that comes to very few beings on the planet. He could have given up so many times and not resumed taking up what intuitively urged him to go on and perhaps helped all of us who sincerely wish we could participate in such an undertaking. Thank you for having the courage to respond to your inner longings and for writing this book which lets us know that there is daily uplifting of consciousness on the planet happening on a global scale.We are deeply moved and grateful that you celebrated this opportunity.
