Book Review: More informative than any religion
Summary: 5 Stars
Personally, I found this book extremely enlightening. I understand that much (if not all) of the book is based on philosophies possibly fueled by hope, after all we don't really know what happens in the after life, or even if there is one. However, this book makes sense. Some here will say that Mr. Chopra is lying - I don't think so. The book is a break down of theories, and I think the author did an amazing job compiling all those theories (including the Bible) and generating a message - that there is an afterlife, that we are indeed aware of our soul, and that we can cultivate the greatness of our soul should we choose to. Yes there is the idea that you "choose" your afterlife, and again some people shun the book for that. However, one must understand that the philosophy here is that we do indeed "choose" our life, how we think, how we see the world, even how we materialize the world - so if we create the world, why not the afterlife as well?
Perhaps the only idea that left me a little shaken, was the idea that the afterlife is essentially a level beyond, but co-existent with our own. In other words - everything is here, in front of you, including the afterlife. The problem here, is that when die we become consciousness - and to me (at least to me) it translates into not seeing my family ever again. While Mr. Chopra insists that the "person" is never truly gone, but is actually everywhere...still, deep down I still hope to see my family again as I know them.
I value his knowledge, and his ability to tackle this topic with great tact. I must admit that this is the first book I have ever read by Mr. Chopra - and I do believe that it is better to be acquainted with his other works before reading this one. Truly, I took the reading of this book into small steps, because the subject matter, the language, and his ideas are sometimes hard to understand.
Do not go into this book expecting yet another interpretation of Biblical verses. Understand that there have been, and always will be other religions, philosophies and ideas outside the Christian belief, before you rank this book a "blasphemy" as some other readers have done. If your brain and soul can only accept Christianity - stick with it, and leave these books to other seekers.
Summary of Life After Death: The Burden of Proof
Deepak Chopra has touched millions of readers by demystifying our deepest spiritual concerns while retaining their poetry and wonder. Now he turns to the most profound mystery: What happens after we die? Is this one question we were not meant to answer, a riddle whose solution the universe keeps to itself? Chopra tells us there is abundant evidence that ?the world beyond? is not separated from this world by an impassable wall; in fact, a single reality embraces all worlds, all times and places. At the end of our lives we ?cross over? into a new phase of the same soul journey we are on right this minute.In Life After Death, Chopra draws on cutting-edge scientific discoveries and the great wisdom traditions to provide a map of the afterlife. It?s a fascinating journey into many levels of consciousness. But far more important is his urgent message: Who you meet in the afterlife and what you experience there reflect your present beliefs, expectations, and level of awareness. In the here and now you can shape what happens after you die.
By bringing the afterlife into the present moment, Life After Death opens up an immense new area of creativity. Ultimately there is no division between life and death?there is only one continuous creative project. Chopra invites us to become cocreators in this subtle realm, and as we come to understand the one reality, we shed our irrational fears and step into a numinous sense of wonder and personal power.
