Book Reviews of Life After Death: The Burden of Proof
Book Review: Spiritual Yogis
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is for someone who is 'open minded' enough to consider the possibility that our mind goes beyond what we are taught in any science class. A must for those who are on a spiritual journey, and you will know when you are ready to read this book. The book is less about death but more about the possibility that we are made up of energy and we will return to that energy force in the end, which is a concept that I have come to believe in my spiritual journey. Deepak's book is wonderfully laid out with a story, research materials, and material so well written that took my mind to another level of awareness to what life is. This book is more about life than about death. For me, this book opened my mind to other belief systems and I am always thankful when we learn more that what we have grown up with, culturely and religiously. Life is wonderful when we are always learning and there are always teachers who want to teach. Your soul will know when it is ready to read this, as with all spiritual growth, read with awareness and without judgement.Book Review: 'Proof' is Still Elusive
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like what one reviewer says about this book -- 'A must read for everyone who will die.'
We are the only species (that we know of) that is aware that we are going to die. What we don't know is what happens after that. Each religion has some ideas that they preach with certainty. Yet, strangely enough, all of the religions seem to come to a different conclusion.
In this book the author claims that the idea that no knowledge can be gained about 'the other side' is being disproved on many fronts. And he proceeds to give examples of some studies that are being made around the country along with doses of philosophy from his Chopra Center for Well Being.
He presents a pretty good summary of his thinking, but while I enjoyed the 'other cultural' aspects of his writing, I guess I have to say that I'm still not totally convinced that he has enough proof to convince a skeptical jury. All in all, I think we're just going to have to find our for ourselves.
Book Review: HInduism and immortality
Summary: 3 Stars
I was highly dissapointed but his book - Considering the author's education and spirituality, my expectations were high.. Beside the introductory pages, a lot is about morals, religious traditions and beliefs in hinduism, D.Chopra's upbringing. Those references to hinduism are not really helpful - Still, great insights but the author's ideas navigate often off the subject - There is no 'proof" offered as claimed - ( Even if is difficult to do so anyway. ) It is neither scientific, nor metaphysical, nor really personal. It lacks heart, mind and focus.
On this subject I would HIGHLY recommend the author Ruth Montgomery ( A World Beyond ) - She can bring "proofs" througt the guides "on the other side". Her books breathe truth and emotion. No intellectual verbiage and convincing there but a true experience. By the way - Of course there is life "after death" - It is all one continuum...
Book Review: Plain Insanity...Nice fiction though,if you're stoned.
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe, how many people read this book and believe that's what life or life after death is. I've a christian and hindu background and in the Western world now. This is all just propaganda. If one has too much time to waste and want to indulge in believing illusions, you might as well get stoned.
Well, all this blabbering won't get anyone anywhere. The best belief in life is "Duty". Duty is God. Responsibility is God. Just be responsible for your self and your actions. And do your duty towards yourself and everyone else you have a duty towards. And you'll move on in your life. There is no point in caring what happens when you die, because when you die, you might not even be in a dimension where you can relate to what you are in now.
I tell you, you will have better ideas and thoughts when you're stoned and watching teletubbies.
Book Review: A Wonderful Fusion of Science and Spirituality
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book, Deepak Chopra gives us an intriguing look at both the scientific and spiritual aspects of life after death. For several years I've been looking for a book that helps to reconcile the afterlife with what we are learing in the field of quantum physics and this book comes as close to offering a cogent analysis as anything I have seen. Using a Hindu folk tale about death as a springboard, Chopra examines issues related to Near Death Experiences, Reincarnation, Remote Viewing, ESP and many more by examining the areas in which Science and the Vedic Tradition merge. This book is enjoyable to read, but requires a little time to digest. Although written from a Hindu perspective, Chopra takes the time to discuss other spiritual traditions, including Christianity and Buddhism. This will be a wonderful addition to your collection of philosophical works.
