Product Description
"I've been a questioner all my life..."So begins bestselling author and award-winning actress Shirley MacLaine, as she invites readers to join her on the most powerful, provocative journey of her life. Over the years, Shirley has firmly established herself as a fearless, iconoclastic thinker and seeker of truth. Now, as she confronts the realities and rewards of growing older, she reflects on the greater understanding of her own place in the universe that her experiences have brought to her. Sparked by the experience of moving into a new house, she is inspired to look back across the remarkable professional and personal milestones she has experienced so far. Surrounded by books, pictures, and the artifacts of a life well lived, Shirley is able to recognize the profound power of synchronicity at work around her, discovering the invisible threads that stitch together the seemingly random events of her days, adding meaning even to the mundane. Having grown older, she is increasingly concerned with the potential pitfalls of modern medicine. She shares personal insights into nutrition, acupuncture, homeopathy, and alternative medicine. Practical and bracing, here is advice for anyone looking to expand his or her understanding of health and well-being. Moving beyond the physical, Shirley explores what has always interested her most -- those things that are unseen. What is consciousness? What is the purpose of our lives? Are we alone in the universe? And perhaps the greatest mystery of all, what happens to us after death?Filled with her trademark wit and candor, this is a fascinating, inspiring book that will delight and captivate Shirley's legions of fans and fellow travelers everywhere. |

Flying Saucers or Flying Bodies? by Zoeeagleeye (Belfast, ME United States)  3 Stars
November 10, 2009
I've read every book Shirley has written and pretty much loved them all. Something fun or profound is usually to be found therein. In all honesty, I can say her new "Sage-ing" book is quite well written, but, yes, at least half of it is Shirley redux, right down to the Rat Pack mentions.
My favorite chapter was Nine. Her passion comes across in excellent prose with heartfelt ideas. She has an interesting take on the 26,000 year cycle of the Mayans: "So, in effect, every twenty-six thousand years the buildup of emotional and karmic toxins is cleared." She argues fervently for a reinvention of God, saying,
"Perhaps I need to reinvent what I think of as God, which automatically means I have to reinvent myself." Smart woman!
But what isn't so smart is her adoration of UFO's and "star beings."
That's because there are better explanations for these things, in- cluding abductions, than she has acquainted herself with.
Most people on the planet pay very little attention to something we all do every single night. We dream and we go out of our body. This has been scientifically proven as well as spiritually acknowledged and honored. Those familiar with Robert Monroe's books and the Monroe Institute (in Virgina, Shirley) know what I am talking about. Michael Roads' books (Australia) further our experiences for oob practices, detailing the spiritual needs we have for them and the answers they provide for us about past lives that impact on the present one, while Jane Roberts' Seth books teach practically about oob adventures and entering other dimensions. In short, Seth himself points out that in our 3-D material world there is no possibility of traveling across space in material ships to seek out other worlds, and suggests that those who think this has happened have simply had oob experiences they are ignorant about and do not understand. He says we connect to other beings in our astral bodies.
Corroborating this, Shirley mentions that "One person received the information (from an alien) that "technical data does not lead to the discovery of other beings. Spiritual data does.'" (P. 168)
Even Shirley's own experts make the case inadvertantly when, for example, Harvard psychiatrist John Mack says "the abductees (have) a feeling of being floated through walls, doorways and windows." This is par for the course in oob experiences. When you don't have a handy belief system for this, you will grasp at the popular culture's interpretation. "Mack admitted that . . . there is a tendency to fit psychological data or emotional phenomena into familiar categories."
Roads' guides often told him he would not remember all of his trips to other dimensions or understand everything, but every time Roads
"travelled" he felt great love and compassion from those beings around him. "The alien star beings told the abductees that they would remember what they needed to know." And, "many of the abductees experience past lives with their alien friends." Finally, both Roads and Monroe have said that their oob experiences while sleeping or in light trance echoed what the abductees said: "like they'd been given an intense jump into a spiritual realm they were not ready for." Apparently, they were more ready than they knew!
Most of us are spiritual cowards. We'd rather follow the tried and true, which is to say we'd rather be called crazy for believing in UFO's and aliens like many others, than be called crazy for our own personal unique inner landscape adventures. As in 3-D waking life, what we find in our inner dimensions and oob experiences are reflections of ourselves. So some abductees experienced terror while others experienced loving advice. And while some aspects are similar, it is basically an individual thing. Go ahead, gather around that water cooler at work and discuss your dreams. I dare you! Lots of luck!
While I definitely do believe there are gadzillions of other intelligent life forms in the Universe (Life, after all, is life!), why is it that most of these "star beings" are so stupid they put their human charges into havoc and destruction, while only being proficient in the sort of technology that humans covet? The description of most of these aliens sounds to me like a white, male Western conceit that embraces "power over," and the rest of the world be damned! I would think that if aliens are advanced, they would not be technologically advanced (as Hollywood in its one-noted way keeps portraying), but they would be advanced in mind power and spiritual acuity. Yet so few are.
But you're certainly allowed to disagree with me, and if you do, you will find 75% of Shirley's book fascinating. Otherwise, you will become impatient with her "facts" and many quotes that, like her star people, can be taken two ways. Footnote: message from Don Henley: They're not here; they're not coming.

Wild Imagination but Good Medical Advice by Creole Guy (New Orleans)  2 Stars
November 03, 2009
Shirley MacLaine gives very good advice and thoughts on the corrupt state of the established Medical Mafia in the U.S. & Europe (Western Medicine)-the fact that 2000 people die every day from Pharmacutical drugs is neatly sweapt under the rug by the AMA, US Government and Pharmacutical Industries, who profit in the billions off of disease. This is a great book for anyone interested in the facts on this topic.
Her wild imagination comes into play when she goes into Atlantis. I do believe that Atlantis was a real place, that exsisted between Africa(Black skin) and the Americas(Brown red skin) in the Atlantic Ocean. Knowing about Science(Natural selection of how skin tones came about) these people would have been of brownish-reddish skin color but of course, to a white person-they have to be pale skin, red haired and blue eyed and this exactly how MacLaine descibes them in her book! The same typical racist writings that one finds when anyone whites attempts to re-write history of Ancient Egypt or Peru. Every ancient great civilization has to somehow be blue eyed white people even though anceint evidence and even Edgar Cayce (The Sleeping Prophet) says other wise so this is where Shirley MacLaine's wild imagination goes into high gear. The Atlantis people (if there even was such a land) just happen to look exactly like her! Please! Save it! Typical.
The rest of the book is just repeats of her thoughts and passages from other books that she has written and I have read her books since the age of 12.

She is GOD ! by Daniel P. Kenward (Saint Paul, MN United States)  5 Stars
September 18, 2009
This is the real bible.
Our makers impregnated themselves with seed of other human-type beings from another planet and placed us on earth. They are our "gods". They live 7 hours from here and they are "ourselves from the future" visiting us here to check on our/their evolution by abducting us and "checking us out". They do travel back to the future and have seen our future and they are concerned. They have seen the "trajectory" if we stay on this track. They have almost given up hope for our survival, all human survival and ALL life on planet earth. Concerned so much they are collecting eggs from us, through abduction, for re-impregnated with another life form some-where else. This should be required reading in all grade schools. Buy several

Audio version is as if she is in the room with you telling her story by Barbara Larkin (Pompano Beach, FL USA) 5 Stars
May 05, 2009
I have read all her books and have a few of her audio books which I enjoy because it is in her own voice with the nuances and wit and it feels as if she is in the room with me discussing the meaning of life. I love her style of writing and her understated humor. I really identify with her and what she writes about really resonates with me. It is as if I knew all these things and she is confirming that inner knowledge. I had many "aha" moments. I couldn't get enough of her words of wisdom! Shirley MacLaine is a great spiritual teacher disguised as an actress/dancer!!! Some of her writing is so "me" that I believe we must have had a past life together... maybe in Atlantis.

Shirley Saging well! by Dianne S. Miller (Chicago) 5 Stars
April 26, 2009
Well, you are either a believer or not? If you are considering purchasing this book you probably already are a fan of Shirley as I am. Yes, she does talk about her Hollywood experience a bit too much in the beginning. But once I considered this, isn't that where ones wisdom comes from, e.g. ones life experiences?
However, not long into the book, hold on your hats folks cuz it is a mind blowing ride! Gosh I wish I could be her personal assistant and travel the world learning, expanding, investigating the truths that are too often hidden.
You won't guess at how far the conspiracy goes on UFO's but get ready for a illuminating experience!
