The patients narrate the messages from spaces between the lives.
The mysteries of mind and its abilities and its dimensions are illustrated in this book.
The author tries to put things in scientific perspective with his critical analysis. Simultaneously was in surprise that certain thing which cannot be brought in to scientific arena .
The message from the masters.
The author says “wisdom is achieved very slowly; this is because intellectual knowledge, easily acquired, must be transformed in to “emotional” or subconscious, knowledge. Once transformed, the imprints are permanent. Behavioral practice is the necessary catalyst of this reaction. Without action the concept will wither and fade. Theoretical knowledge without practical application is not enough.
Balance and harmony are neglected today, yet they are the foundation of wisdom. Everything is done in excess. But nature has balance ecological systems are not eliminated, plants are consumed and then grown. The source of sustenance are dipped into and then replenished. The flower is enjoyed, the fruit is eaten, the roots are preserved.
Humankind has not learned about the balance. Human kind is guided by greed and ambition, steered by fear. In this way it eventually destroys itself. But nature will survive.
Happiness is really rooted in simplicity. The tendency to excessiveness in thought and action diminishes happiness.
If a part of humankind is eternal, and there is much evidence and history to think so, then why are we doing such bad things to ourselves? “Consider the lessons. Intellectually the answers have always been there, but this need to actualize by experience, to make the subconscious imprints permanent by “emotionalizing” and practice the concept, is the key. Lip service without the behavior has no value, it is easy to read about or to talk about love and charity and faith. But to do it, to feel it, almost requires an altered state of consciousness. The permanent state is reached by knowledge and understanding. It is sustained by physical behavior, by act and deed, by practice.
Its an experience which changes the doctor and his views on life, a nice book to read and the author has narrated it well and trying to explain it in the boundaries of science. When it goes beyond the science he leaves the choice to us.
I am not here to say to believe in past life therapy which are now popular on some of the regional media, I do not believe it personally. What I liked about the book is the narration by the author which makes us to think differently. Secondly the message what author receives from the patient during the therapy…
