Product Description
Product Description
In this groundbreaking work, sound-healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman shares his incredible discovery of The Divine Name, a universal sound that, when intoned, can bring harmony and healing to ourselves and the planet. This name, encoded within our DNA, is the personal name of God, once found in the religious texts that link over half the world's population. Forbidden and then lost for nearly 2,500 years, The Divine Name is available once again. It is a sound that when vocalised has the ability to resonate both the physical body and subtle energy fields of anyone who intones it - irrespective of religion, tradition or belief. It has the power to issue in a new era of human consciousness, uniting us in healing, peace and oneness.
The Divine Name is a step-by-step process of vibratory activation that will allow you to experience the power, majesty and healing of this extraordinary sound. Also included is an instructional recording that will help you learn to intone The Divine Name yourself, enabling you to revel in its astounding transformational properties.

Format:Paperback
As a trained sound healer I've come across Goldmans work before. This book isn't really for the novice, even though it looks user friendly. Whilst a lot of the book imparts knowledge gleaned over a life time, and has some very interesting ideas,to be honest I glazed over a bit before the end. Subsequently I never got to grips with the CD, however, I might just have another go. Sometimes it's all about timing and maybe I wasn't in the right space for this book the first time around - we'll see.

THE DIVINE NAME is Divine!
19 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
A remarkable book! THE DIVINE NAME is the culmination of Goldman's over 30 years of research, study and teaching in the field of sound healing. It is the discovery of a universal sound that has extraordinary ramifications for us in terms of creating harmony on both a personal and a planetary level. The book is divided into 4 sections. The first tells the story of Goldman's discovery of the Divine Name. The second focuses on the power of sound--especially sacred sound--to heal and transform. The third section is a teaches the actual intonation of the Divine Name and utilizes an interactive-instructional CD that is included with the book. THE DIVINE NAME concludes with Goldman's perspective that this most powerful and sacred of all sounds can actually be used collectively to and positively effect global consciousness. Once the information in this well researched and documented book is presented, this hypothesis seems quite valid and real. In fact, THE DIVINE NAME may be one of the most important books written about an amazing discovery that has the potential of changing not only ourselves, but the planet as well. Goldman definitely went "out on a limb" to present this material and I'm grateful he did. As he tells us, as a universal sound composed purely of vowels, THE DIVINE NAME transcends religion, belief and culture. You don't need to have musical or singing talent to experience its essence. And once you do, you'll find this book is indeed a step-by-step process of vibrational activation that is life changing. THE DIVINE NAME is a must for anyone interested in conscious evolution.

A Joyful Noise
19 July 2010
Format:Paperback
In The Divine Name, what you hear is what you get. The author literally teaches us God's name, literally--and it isn't Andy, as in "Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me;" nor is it God spelled backwards. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about the book's claims at first. I've bought books before that promised to divulge life-altering, cosmic knowledge only to be left with a sense of loss of both my money and my spirit. I'm happy to say that The Divine Name delivered for me. Merely listening to the CD altered my perceptions even before joining in with the chanting. The mantras opened new channels of awareness for me I never knew I had. It was as if my consciousness had switched from analog to cable without the costly set-up fees. Once that heavenly reception came through there was no going back. By the end of the book I was ready to shave my head and join a monestary; then I remembered I was single and already living the lifestyle of a monk. Be that as it may, I found The Divine Name to be a truly divine read.

Missing something, something added?
25 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
I like this interesting book and CD, but for some reason the author insists on making the Divine Name fit his ideas, rather than the other way around. The hardest part to deal with is that the OOO-EEE-AAA-etc. *does* rather sound like the Yod and Hay of the Divine Name, but completely ignores the second half of the name, Va- Hay. The track just repeats Yod-Hay over and over again. Fear of pronouncing the Divine Name, perhaps?
Beautiful sound, well produced, but Mr. Goldman seems to fear going all the way with it.
Same thing on Holy Harmonies, which I like even better--but--he adds a "Shin" between Yod-Hay and Va-Hay and claims it's an ancient Messianic chant (for Jesus). And yet, in this case, he does use the consonants with the vowels, but for what? What comes out means nothing. I found that a little crass. Gregg Braden's idea, I suspect.
As a Jew who studies The Holy Books voraciously, as well as Kabbalah, it's *news* to me that adding a Shin into the Divine Name gets you the ancient name of Jesus, and I bet it would surprise millions of others as well - especially bible and Kabbalah scholars. It's pandering.
The chants would be perfect had he done the obvious. Sure, use the vowels, which feel right, but the consonants are also what the ear listens for after all these years of hearing the Name. He got it *right* -- then slid away from it. Used properly the Divine Name can be used for prayerful chant. There was really no reason to go this route, and what's left isn't really quite what it claims it is, if you listen closely. A great effort, but. I'm looking forward to listening to several other of his works, though. He's definitely got it. But will he give it?
