Rating:  - Another Deep One From Deepak
This book is yet another brilliant and deep read from one of the world's leading spiritual leaders. A scientific viewpoint which convinces even the deepest of skeptics that there is a world beyond the one we currently live in, this book gives hope and reassurance to all who want to believe in the paradise that is to come. I loved every word.

Rating: - I did not want to like it- yet it won me over.
I initially wanted to write this book off as yet another potboiler of spiritual materialism. I was predisposed to reject it as another cheapening of deep and profound matters in order to turn a buck. Then I forced myself to actually read it. I found that it fit with my own hard won views on the subject. There was certainly no cheapening of spiritual matters here. In fact, I wish to add a copy of this book to my personal library.
One thing that helped change my mind was the author's admission that his own mother died the year before this book was published. This is reflected by the obvious sincerity and depth of focus on the topic.
The author's background in Vedanta ties the book together. While he explores many avenues ancient and modern it is tied together by returning to the Vedas and the rishis. This appealed to me for I have found this to be the root of the perennial philosophy- the anchor of the Golden Thread. The teaching of the three domains (physical objects, subtle objects, and pure consciousness) within the interpenetrating Reality of the Akashic field resonates with truth. Moreover, the concept that you can switch your primary allegiance from the physical realm to the subtle in life- and be supported by it- has been satisfactorily verified in my own life. Similarly, over identification with the physical realm will hold you back from what is truly significant in life.
The author states that there will never be a definitive book on this subject. With people at so many different levels of development, how could there be? However, this book will open the door to the Mystery just enough, that those who are ready may possibly enter in.
Rating:  - I read it, I loved it, but I'm still searching for the meaning
When I'm not playing poker, I'm searching for the meaning of life I so often feel I'm missing the point of. So, this book was one I couldn't resist diving into. It's frustrating because you know you're not going to get the tangible proof the title promises, but it's definately like having a conversation with the wisest philosopher on this subject. As I was reading, it was hard to put down. I kept saying in my head, YES! This does make so much sense. In the end, I found peace during the pieces of time I read. However, I'm no more intelligent or insightful than before. I haven't converted to any new religion. If you miss your days of wasting hours on conversations like the subject of this book in the college dorms, this is the perfect pensive opus.
Rating: - A Must Read
Deepak has certainly come up with the goods in this offering.
The book combines an Indian parable with both eastern and western spirituality, and science(quantum physics)making reading both enjoyable and informative.
I became worried when a lot of Deepak's releases were re-hashes of past work, but he has come back with this wonderful book.
Deepak - I am fan once more!!
I would highly recommend this book to all who are pursuing a spiritual path.
Rating: - The deepest teachings on the subject!
Deepak Chopra has done it again! The depth of his knowledge of the great spiritual teachings informs every page. Reading this book gives you a reassuring vision of the structure of life and death based on the deepest inquiries of ancient and modern thought.
