Rating:  - Spiritual Yogis
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.
Rating:  - This Book Helped Me with Grieving
My wife died two years ago from breast cancer, and I've been studying spiritual principles more deeply than ever since then. For me, the biggest change has been living less in my mind and more in my body, and turning my awareness less to my thousands of daily thoughts and more to my feelings and spiritual awareness. Deepak's book has helped me find hope for fusing scientific thought in the West with the spiritual practices of the rest of the world. He helps me see a balance between science and faith.
In this book, he has introduced me to Vedanta and compared Indian spiritual traditions to other traditions. He helps me visualize a consciousness that lives through all of us and to which we return after death. He has described how this conscious field of being appears from different levels of consciousness and how these different "appearances" manifest to different people at different times to explain the huge variety of religious experience in our spiritual and scientific literature. For example, Near Death Experiences (NDEs) from Jewish people contain Jewish symbology while Christian NDEs reflect Christian symbology and NDEs from other backgrounds reflect the symbology particular to those backgrounds.
Deepak has also helped me visualize a universe that consists largely of subtle matter that is undetectable yet is capable of being instantly collapsed into a reality once an observer notices it. I had heard of the Possibility Wave Collapse Theory (PWCT) already, but Deepak seems to understand it from several levels and explain the ideas in a flexible way that allows for many perspectives on it. Again, levels of conscious awareness seem to impact material reality, both in the body and out of the body. Amazing stuff to think about, I believe.
As I try to send my dead wife my deepest love, Deepak's book comforts me and gives me hope that she feels my love. His book makes it easier for me to accept that the cardinals that dance outside my kitchen window are her way of saying she loves me. The squirrels that frolic on the tree outside the bedroom window are my wife's way of saying hi to me. And, that on our daughter's birthday just before Easter, the infant bunny rabbits I found nesting in our lawn were my wife's way of saying Happy Birthday. Knowing my beloved wife as intimately as I have during her life, this type of gift seems perfectly consistent with how I imagine her to be in spirit.
This book has meant a lot to me. It has helped me find a peace between science and faith in this difficult question of the death of those we love. To me, that is Deepak's greatest contribution in this book.
Rating:  - Not for the Grieving
As an admirer of Dr. Chopra's, I was saddened to find that he is so wedded to the concept of a personality-devoid afterlife that he ultimately rejected evidence of his father's conscious survival - evidence offered by top mediums under tightly controlled, anonymous conditions.
This book is beautifully written, but it should be read an an intellectual exercise, not a source of comfort.
Only those who currently believe that death equals total annihilation will find Dr. Chopra's ideas on inter-incarnation existence appealing. Others should look elsewhere.
Rating:  - WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
I started this read expecting to be enlightened and educated. I found I was being lead in circles and double talk. Please do not offer Mel Gibson as anything other than foolish. It is obvious that this volume has been created for profit not posterity.
Rating: - The most amazing Near Death Reference Mellen-Thomas
Have not read this book, so I am going to give it three stars for fairness--- but I thumbed through it when I heard it had Mellen-Thomas's near death experience referenced
in this book--- Never have I read or listened to anothers humans experience that amazed and thrilled my own soul as Mellen's story has. I listened to the CD interviews of Mellen---the authenticity of this mans experience infused a knowing inside that was already present, but hearing his own words of his story awakened something in me and gave me such incredible hope for humanity. Deepak's book doesn't do the experience justice at all, yet I am thankful Mellen's name has been mentioned, of course, you may not find his story as stunning as I did, but goodness,
don't miss Mellen-Thomas, the story of his experience on
CD's is the most encouraging and precious gift into the progress of humanity that I have ever had the blessing to hear. The sound quality of these CD sets was poor, so I used my trusted headphones, and that corrected any sounds problems... The Global Brain DVD that I found from this information was stunning, but nothing compares to Mellens near death experience. I thank God I found this.
