Highly Recommened for anyone who wishes to move along the path of enlightenment.
A Life Of Cultivation is unarguably one of Marilynn Hughes best works, even though all of her work is done with all her Heart, this book takes the most important text from around the world and places them in a purple book that is nothing short of Scripture for coming Generation. Along with other text by Marilynn Hughes, I highly recommend this book to any one who seeks to move along a path of enlightenment or seeks to become a student of an awesome league of EXTRAodinary beings, which in itself only vaguely describes the work Marilynn Hughes has done here as obedience to a higher calling.
So gather your will power.
Pay Attention (chapter one)
and Join in on this spectacular journey through ancient sacred text compiled by the renowned: Marilynn Hughes.

Many Many Blessings to you all,

Product Description
OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES: ‘Forgotten Mystics in World Religions: Lesser Known Out-of-Body Experiences’ presents a fascinating path in the study of Mysticism and Out-of-Body Travel. In my studies, I have found that there are a great deal of Forgotten Mystics and thus, Out-of-Body Experiences, in many religious traditions whose work was powerful, meaningful, vibrant and eternal. It seems unfortunate and definitely at odds with the will of the God that such works be lost in our time when such great effort was made during theirs to bring their individual Out-of-Body Travel revelations to light. So we’ve decided to feature Forgotten Mystics and Out-of-Body Travelers, some of whom are less forgotten than others, but all of whom have fallen out of the public limelight despite the fantastic and profound messages they were sent to receive and give to the rest of us through Out-of-Body Experiences. http://outofbodytravel.org

NEAR DEATH AND OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES: Years ago, I had met with Christ in a Near Death Experience. He had shared with me the secret to our existence on earth. “It is the goal of human existence,” He had said, “to go from selfishness to selflessness.”
That directive has remained with me since that time and this book is the result of further out-of-body travels wherein He came to me and directed me to gather those sacred texts that show us how to accomplish this vital task of our human existence.
In the texts to follow are the secrets to this marvelous and praiseworthy task. Contained within them are instructions on going from selfishness and self-will to selflessness. (For more info - http://outofbodytravel.org)

Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century is the true story of this author's contact with a "dead" colleague, George Sebastian Viguet III, a former physicist with the U.S. Government. Overwhelmed, he spent the next ten years collecting life-after-death experiences from both the scientific and spiritual literature to compare his encounter with others on record. The common theme that emerged was trance.

Right now this is my favorite book.I've read it twice and I have bookmarked almost every other page.
I've bookmarked almost every other page and underlined or highlighted a third of the book.I laugh at myself because the book looks like it's been through the void and back.But it is mine and I hold it near and dear to my heart for all that it represents and for all of the great knowledge that J.J. Harper has painstakingly assembled for us.Thank you so much Mr. Harper, I'm sure I'll be handing copies out as gifts and will be re-reading the book for a third time.Blessings to you.

Incomplete and Disorganized
This book was strange to read. The content, as far as it went, was fine, but so much was left unsaid. For example, a meeting with a dead friend, referenced throughout the book, was found in an appendix at the end. He saw the dead friend - period. That's it. No detail, explanation, nothing. Also, the author took note of an NDE, but the reader is left hanging, even at the end. What happened during the NDE? I still don't know since it was referenced by the person who had the NDE but really not detailed at all. I'm still not sure if the author himself had an NDE. The 2012 Mayan prediction is covered in a very cursory manner. The book is 200 pages long with only 100 pages devoted to real content, divided into 5 chapters, starting on page 71. The other half of the book is taken up with author's notes, a 34 page introduction, a prologue, an epilogue,and three appendix. It's confusing to read with no theme that can be followed to a satisfactory conclusion. Most of the disjointed ideas come from quotes and references to other writers. The author inserts personal commments about his past negative experiences as a child, mixed up with near psychotic episodes as an adult. Maybe he wrote the book while in a trance since the entire book reads like a stream of consciousness with no identifiable beginning, middle or end. I have three degrees in English and Education, so I'm not a very technical person, but I can spot good writing when I see it, and I don't see it here. I gave the author the benefit of the doubt with two stars because here and there I found a gem of insightful information; however, in each case, that gem was left hanging with nothing really new or enlightening used to expand upon the idea. Sorry,but that's what I see - a big disappointment.

Good topic, poor writing style
I am a longtime student and practitioner of the type of material covered in this book.While the author does highlight some good nuggets of information pulled from the research of other people, in general I found it to be way too disjointed.It seemed like every page had several references to other works and this constant referencing really distracted from the points the author was trying to make.Also, for me personally, there were far too many things presented as "truth" and not enough encouragement of the reader to think and investigate for themselves.If you do get this book, get it as a reference compilation on topics like: enlightenment, shamanism, ancient cultures (mayan, egyptian), and near death experiences. Its best use for me would have been to skim through and see if any of the topics were of interest and then go off and get the source works the author refers to.I do not recommend reading it cover to cover.

An Inspired-Analysis of Global World Events in Solar Cycle 24.
First and foremost, I have read a lot of NEW AGE and old world age books: From the Catholic Saints to the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra to David Icke, Bruce Lipton to Gregg Braden, Daniel Pinchbeck to John Major Jenkins, and so many other visionaries that span every academic discipline at our colleges, religious and scientific belief systems, in existence.

Second, and beyond a doubt this is the BEST BOOK I have read in my entire life on the lifecycle from pre-cradle-to-post-cosmos! I mean it should be read by everyone, no matter what your background, but especially those that are stagnated in the conspiracy theory books about fears of the End-Time. They in particular need to take that doom and gloom and place it into the context John Jay Harper has envisioned for us all now: The BIG IDEA that we are "groomed to bloom" into creative light beings while fully-embodied! That is, our DNA macromolecule is reconfiguring itself genetically into its immortal Sun of God geometry.

In brief, we have latent within us the "Christ" gene and DNA is a liquid-crystal semi-conductor radio-tv circuit receiving and transmitting life-force information in/out of The Field. We are literally tuned to the 26,000-year timing pulse of the "black hole" stars within the heart-center of the Milky Way Galaxy! In a nutshell, we are aligning the center of our cells to the center of the cosmos and its co-creative relationship with us and our collective desire to move beyond survival to restoration of the Garden of Eden here and now. That is, creation is only beginning for us in era-2012!

That is indeed what we must do: Move on to become a positive change agent that this book shows us how to do by looking at life, death, and rebirth through The Big Picture lens of 2012 and beyond our earth events-to-come. This is the first time that I have ever read a book and felt that nothing was missing too; everything is explained from Alpha to Omega. All that I needed to touch upon to sprout new growth and clarify the purpose of our post-military-industrial economic collapse and renewal; the crises that lead to the opportunity John Jay Harper calls "archetypes of apocalypse!"

In no uncertain terms, this is "the" book to read on how to prepare for the changes-to-come from ecology-to-economy-to-earth changes themselves. This is no idle claim. For example, by reading this book I discovered the answers to this sample of fascinating questions:

Why did Jesus go into exile in Egypt, the Land of the Pha-Ra-ohs as a child and not another country in the Middle East?

Was it to consult the shaman-priests of "Ra," the Sun God, and then employ the power of the py-Ra-mids to recover our cellular/DNA memories to reconstruct history prior to beginning his messianic mission to activate the "Green 'Christ' Gene" within himself and restore our collective human relationship to the one-in-the-same God of Is-Ra-el?

Is the "Green Christ Gene" what alien abductees/UFO contactees have activated in them too either by implantation or telepathically for the same reason: To open our Third Eye to the outer reaches of inner space: The Fifth Dimension?

Will a "coronal mass ejection" trigger the opening of our Third Eye in Solar Cycle 24? Is this the meaning to the Mayan prophecy of the Eternal Return of Quetzalcoatl: The Plumed Serpent in 2012? I strongly recommend the DVD Science of Soul: The End-Time Solar Cycle of Chaos in 2012 A.D. as well as the Second Edition Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century - Second Edition Revised and Updated for 2012that is packed-with-facts that are contemporary with the election of President Obama and supplement the First Edition with new visions of our future world order.

The Shamans of the 21st Century Exist
I just finished John Jay Harper's Tranceformers book. Over the past year I have experienced an amazing transformation. I suspect many of the people who have read this book have also experienced a transformation. I was excited to find a book that explains some of the experiences I've had that I couldn't quite wrap my mind around. I will say this. The shamans do exist. The transformation is already underway. Although I can feel the storm coming, I am optimistic that we will be ready. It's an amazing time on this planet we call home. And I feel so blessed to be here to be a part of it. Thank you John for providing a book so full of resources! ... Read more

Product Description

"Dr. Morse, what are near death experiences good for, anyway?"

This question, asked by a young patient, sent a curious medical doctor down a path of discovery to investigate the many aspects of this most intriguing subject.

Is there proof that "near death" and other spiritual experiences can cure afflictions of the body, mind, and spirit?

Are there simple ways to tap into a "universal power source" that spiritual masters call enlightenment?

Is there scientific evidence of life after death that is being overlooked by skeptics?

Is there scientific proof of a "God Module," a spot in our brains that communicates with God and the universe?

Melvin Morse believes the answer to all these questions is yes. He presents his research in a clear and methodical book that sheds new light on the links between science and mysticism.

Where God Lives not only reveals the area of the brain that is our biological link to the universe, it shows us the secret of tapping into the universal energy to achieve healing, personal peace, and transcendence.In Where God Lives, Morse reveals his own experiences of the divine. By observing and interviewing hundreds of children who have had near death experiences, he was able to cure his own life-threatening disease with the spiritual lessons he learned.

Filled with moving case histories, Where God Lives applies the rigor of science to the study of the spiritual and concludes that here is an unseen-but not unreachable-power that guides us all. ... Read more

An influential and absorbing book
For anybody who has stopped to consider who we are; what we are; and why we are here this book is well worth reading. It is not necessary to have deep religious beliefs to appreciate the insight offered by Dr. Morse. He combines empirical work with scientific hypothesis to locate the "God point" in the right side of our brain and links stimulation of this point to NDEs and related phenomena such as healing and how to maintain good health. I have quite a collection of similar books but this is readable and I have no hesitation in recommending it to those of an inquiring mind.

Not an easy read
I didn't read the reviews until after buying and reading the book. I'm surprised at all the five-star ratings. I have read and enjoyed Dr. Morse's previous books, but this one I found dense and boring.

Where God lLives
Where am I going on my final trip is answered in this book.
Well written as this author carries you along from adventure
to adventure.

OUTDATED, ERRONEOUS, and MISGUIDED
There are far better books that make the argument that a spiritual realm exists, or that human consciousness may, in some way transcend the physical limitations of the body (see for example, Dean Radin's books). This author clearly misreads and mis-applies the neurological data of the times, and he has a poor understanding of near death experiences. Today, spiritual experiences are well mapped in terms of the inner workings of the brain (see any of Andy Newberg's books (Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief,Why We Believe What We Believe: Uncovering Our Biological Need for Meaning, Spirituality, and Truth, How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist, How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist]. See Ramachandran's writings as well, but even here, Newberg's research is far more definitive. A lot has changed in the last 5 years in science.Newberg, for example, can argue that we have a God neuron, and Gene Hamer has decent evidence that we may even have a gene that biases us toward spiritual awareness.Great stuff there!

Worth the reading effort!
I am happy to recommend a really fascinating book by Dr. Melvin Morse called Where God Lives, which is about the "hidden pattern" that connects reality, quantum information and our brains (and the right temporal lobe in particular), examining a wide variety of out of body, transcendental, spiritual and thus "paranormal" experiences that we try to make sense of in various ways.Though this book is from 2000, it is still very timely and well written, linking lots of interesting ideas and having plenty of research behind it.It is, I think, quite related to the material about right brain phenomena described by the brain surgeon who gave the TED talk about her own stroke, but this comes at it from a very different angle.

As a philosopher and academic myself, I have worked with a number of the ideas he talks about, notably holographic descriptions and the nature of information, and I think he makes a lot of sense.The book essentially reconciles science and spirituality in a very unique way and with a significant level of detail to support both positions.However, if you are a total skeptic about any form of spirituality, I don't think this book will make you change your mind - but it may raise some good questions just the same.

There are a few great summaries of big research projects tucked in here and there, such as the top 10 things that people do to make life changes after a transformative experience.That's a pretty useful bit of info!There is lengthy discussion from a scientific perspective about reincarnation, and a summary of the reports people have made about ghost (or angel) sightings - again, very scientific in its approach and brought in in order to make a larger point that is really quite interesting.

I was pretty much unable to put it down until I read the whole thing.The closing chapters point the way to developing and accessing these right brain phenomena on your own - without having to use drugs, electrical stimulation, a near death experience or otherwise going off the deep end. But I do wish there had been more than just hints, but rather actual pragmatic exercises to guide you in applying these insights to your life - perhaps he is now ready to write such a book.I hope so! ...

If you think you're going to die, then you're in for a big surprise. This book will not only challenge your assumptions, it will give you the proof that you never thought existed. Not only are there substantial scientific studies indicating that our consciousness survives death, but those on the other side have come back time and time again with evidential messages for their loved ones. Josie Varga has assembled an incomparable collection of what she terms visits from heaven from around the globe and backed up by testimony from some of the world s leading experts on afterlife communication: This groundbreaking book will lead you to question your own mortality with the realization that we are all eternal energy beings, and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. When you reach the end of this book, you will find that the most prudent explanation is that there is nothing final about death. You always were, and you always will be. ... Read more

A choice pick and a fine addition to any metaphysical studies collection
The body may die, but the soul may live on. "Visits from Heaven" takes a new approach to the afterlife as she discusses why she believes the consciousness of human beings survives the death of the body and lives on, giving messages to the world of the living. People are always there, and people will always be, and Josie Varga gives much for believers to latch onto. "Visits from Heaven" is a choice pick and a fine addition to any metaphysical studies collection.

Hope from Heaven
Among the crowded field of after life books, Ms. Varga's stands alone. Offering anecdotal evidence from mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, spouses, lovers and pet parents, this is a must read for any one who has suffered the loss of a loved one---which is everyone. Regardless of your age, your religion, your philosophy of life, the evidence the individuals present here goes beyond wishful thinking, or the ramblings of the grief stricken. Ms. Varga selected these stories with sensitivity and respect for the information each contains and the perspective of the writer's contribution to the literature of hope for heaven.

Comforting and inspiring
Visits From Heaven is not only an inspiring book but also brings comfort as well to know that our loved one's are always with us.I have experienced many Visits from my husband and son, as told in Josie Varga's book "A Kiss So Sweet" and Pushed Out of Heaven.Everyone has lost a loved one at some point in their lives and to know that they can contact us if we keep our hearts and mind open is a wonderful experience.

A Wonderul Book
I am one of the many contributors to this book, and while I may therefore be somewhat biased, I need to say that there is no other book that includes such a rich variety of perspectives on afterlife experiences. It seems very important to me that all of these researchers, who view afterlife experiences from many different points of view, are essentially coming to the same conclusions. For anyone who is approaching death, or who has lost a loved one to death, this book will provide much comfort and hope. This book is also about emerging evidence that will likely eventually change the way we all view life and death.

visits from heaven

Teachings to help us on our path.
Very special book. I indeed felt enlightened and inspired on finishing this special book. Lots of signposts and directions to make our path easier. A must read.

Wonderful glimpse into the afterlife and how it relates to violet flame and St. Germain!
This book truly conveys deep meaning and pretty detailed information on the afterlife and what we can expect. I think it's neat how the main character is given permission to share his afterlife exerience with those of us who are still embodied. It's not just a near death experience, it's experiences of actual living on the other side which are shared with us. Incredible!!

It a very astonishing book, different from any other book I have read. It was descriptive and very easy to understand. I also liked the book because of the character; he explains things that related to me and questions that concerned me. It has showed me that lives after death really do exist and it is a journey. The insights and knowledge after reading this book has enhanced my faith. This book will take you on journey. Before reading this book I was a little skeptic, but after reading it was clear I wasn't.

Excellent Book
The fact that one of the reviewers probably refers to a different book and by mistake assigned his/her review to this book does a great disservice to this remarkable work.

Only a superficial reader would assume that this book is a commentary of the "Book of the Dead". It is not. It is much more, and it is exactly what its title suggests : a review of the rituals used by the Egyptians to transform a dead person into an Osiris. The book therefore givesexactly what is lacking in many other books : a broad overview or the three main rituals of death used by the Egyptians : 1) Embalming, 2) Opening of the Mouth, 3) Methods of obtaining Immortality.

1) The book starts with the embalming of the corpse, the purpose of which is to transform the dead body into a statue. Although no complete text of the Ritual of Embalming is available, a detailed account is given of the complicated process at hand and of the reasons for it.

2) The book then describes the "Opening of the Mouth" ritual in much detail, and shows that it refers to the "Book of Statues" used totransform the mummy into a living statue.

3) As a last stage, the "Methods of obtaining Immortality" are described, with many references to the "Book of the Dead". The main chapters of this last section read : Return to the Universal Matrix, Teaching for Coming forth by Day, Magical Self-defense, Solarization of the Deceased, Magical Integration, The Vindicated explores the Cycle of the Beyond, Geography of the Beyond, Mystical Labyrinth and the Glorious Arrival.

There are numerous versions of the BoD. Most of them do cover the text in much detail, but unless one is proficient in the egyptian language and is knowledgablein egyptian myths, the true significance of the text remains extremely obscure. Not so in this book.
The text is very clear, factual, concise and to the point. Very Professional. The drawings are detailed and add much to the understanding. One can regret though that they are not available in color.

A Short Summary
This is a good introduction book to the "Egyptian Book of the Dead". The book is somewhat like a commentary to the original text, and is a good source for those not aquatinted with the original. Howeverthe book does not cover the original text in great detail, and thereforefalls a little short.

One of the best books on Edgar Cayce
I have about 8 books on Edgar Cayce and I think this is one of the best. Written by his son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, we get to see not just the readings, but the man behind the readings from his son's eyes.

Like the previous reviewer Tootsiebelle said, its a hard book to understand. It is, if you aren't familiar with the way Cayce spoke when in trance. Reading Edgar Cayce's trance material is almost like trying to read old English, you have to put in some serious effort. Unfortunately, I think that keeps lots of people from reading books on Cayce. Which is a shame because once you understand what Edgar Cayce is saying, it's an awakening of the mind and an uplifting of the soul. At least it was for me.

And its so worth taking the effort to understand his trance-speak because this man could talk to beings in the higher realms. Edgar Cayce could travel through higher realms and access the Akashic Records, and he could see and communicate with deceased people.

This book has lots of Edgar Cayce's transcripts from readings about death, the afterlife, what it means to die, and where people go after death. The overall message is the same, no matter what reading, who the reading was for, or what year it took place. The main message is that we continue on, that we all reincarnate over and over in order to grow spiritually. When we are not on earth, we exist in the spiritual plane, and when not there, we are on earth (or other physical planes, for Edgar Cayce says there are many others).

About death, Edgar Cayce says in one reading, "For, as has been given it is not all of life to live, nor yet all of death to die. For life and death are one, and only those who will consider the experience as one may come to understand or comprehend what peace indeed means." From reading 1977-1.

There are some stories in here that I got a huge thrill from (and its worth getting the book for these stories that Hugh shares with us in regards to family spirits that communicated with Edgar Cayce). One of them is about when Edgar Cayce's mother was dieing. Edgar could see spirits gathering around his mother as she lay in bed dieing. I don't want to spoil anything for would-be readers though, so that's all I'll say about that one. Other then WOW!

The other story is about a message that came from a group of deceased family members when Edgar Cayce was doing a reading for someone else. At the end of the reading, instead of coming out of trance, he began conveying a message to his wife from her departed family members. The transcripts give a one-sided conversation that went on between Edgar and the deceased family members, but it still gives some very clear pictures of what life is like on the other side.

What I also like about this book is that the author paraphrases a lot of the transcripts, helping the reader understand what his dad was saying. He doesn't just leave the reader to figure it out on her own.

I love Edgar Cayce's books because they affirm and strengthen my belief that we are all eternal souls. And this is one of my favorites of his books.

I needed an interpreter !
While any story about Edgar Cayce is fascinating, this falls short for me.It is interesting, but when the author (Hugh Cayce) quotes his father, I can't understand a word he's saying. Most of the book is done in a question and answer format between Edgar Cayce and his client, in quotations (his own words). For instance : "(Q) What form of consciousness does the spirit entity assume?"He is asked by the client.
"(A)That of the subconscious consciousness, as known in the material plane, or the acts and deeds, and thoughts, done in the body, are ever present before that being.Then consider what a hell digged by some, and what a haven and heaven builded by many." HUH ???The whole book is like this......impossible to decipher and understand.Reading this was more frustrating than enjoyable. I didn't finish it.

Great read! A page-turner! I loved it.
This revision of Hugh Lynn's 1958 48-page booklet, "God's Other Door," is brimming with a wondrous collection of readings and stories. The original material is there, but Graham has added masses of newresearch. As the preface indicates, Hugh Lynn, when he wrote it, didn'thave much time for research. He was on the road constantly, speaking in anystate on any Cayce topic, trying to build and keep alive the A.R.E., whichthen had only a few thousand members. Graham's dream of a conversation withHugh Lynn is the first choice gem in a book full of Cayce wisdom, insight,and comfort. The 22 chapters range widely around the central fact, as Cayceput it, "you are a soul, you have a body." And the soul does notdie. Out-of-body travel, the finer body, the silver cord, the light, theinter-between, soul communication, angels, reincarnation, love, wonderfuland awesome aspects of being -- all of these and more -- are arranged andpresented with skill by a master sotryteller. The final chapter is EdgarCayce's 1934 lecture, "The Continuity of Life." ... Read more

Product Description
While religious faith, at least that which is of the orthodox type, appears to be on the decline and church attendance fall, the great experience of death which all men must undergo continues to intrigue many who seldom, if ever, cross the threshold of a church. In this meticulously compiled volume, Dr. Robert Crookall, an eminent scientist who is also a student of psychical research, has brought together, from a great many different sources, what appear to be the personal testimonies of the experiences of death and survival. Taken together they form an impressive body of evidence on a topic where opinion is frequently expressed but evidence seldom considered: what we have here an entirely new kind of evidence. The success of the first edition of this book, published in 1961, has led to the issue of this revised and updated edition. ... Read more

Clarification by Author
I am the author of this book. This is not a review. I would just like to clarify an error in the in the U.S. edition of my book Reaching for the Oversoul which the reviewer J. Conway picked up on.

The U.S. edition states that King Edward ruled England before Queen Victoria; this is an error which only appears in the US edition of my book, not in the German, Irish or Italian editions. These editions clearly state:

"After the long reign of Queen Victoria, Englandwas ruled by King Edward."

The error in the U.S. edition is a regrettable oversight which will be corrected in any subsequent U.S. editions.Readers interested in my work can contact me through my Website: [..]

Doubts on History
Reaching for the Oversoul is a very interesting book, thoughtfully researched and with some interesting theories.However, the one thing that bothered me is that in verifying a regression, the author states that 'before the long reign of Queeen Victoria, there was a King Edward'.Well, the King Edward that existed long before Victoria was Henry Tudor's son as far as I remember and this wasn't the era described in the regression.King Edward VII was the son of Victoria and reigned after that Queen died.This lack of accuracy spoiled the book for me and I just wished I could speak to the author.

A serious Study to reveal Inner Wisdom
As a medical assistant/secretary in the Internal Medicine practice of Eugene G. Jussek, MD, I had the privilege of attending the early hypnosis sessions with Charles Roberts and was witness to the ultimate ermergence of Yan Su Lu.Conversations under hypnotic trance would be recorded in shorthand and then transcribed.Dr. Jussek has reproduced these sessions exactly as they transpired and no changes, additions or omissions are noted. Eugene G. Jussek, MD, is a skilled physician and hypnotist who takes great care to protect the patient from harm and danger.He continuously moves the subject away from frightful experiences, and goes to a safe place and time that permits unemotional review and analysis of events.In this space beyond time, Dr. Jussek would ask the "friend" or "teacher" from the other side (that resides in all of us) to come through and report on the lessons learned by the subject during that particular lifetime.When Yan Su Lu was willing to continue dialogue through the merium of Charles Roberts, a journey was untertaken into the realm of wisdom as it is found in the collective unconscious.Such knowlege and understanding is not only the essence of this book, but it addresses many current questions raised by the serious seeker of Truth."Reaching for the Oversoul" is a must read not only for those seeking answers from the beyond, but also for the serious practitioner of medical hypnosis.

A new Gary Zukoff
I wish Oprah would read this book and feature Eugene Jussek on her show. He is another Gary Zukoff!

This book is about finding our own higher selves. Written by a medical doctor of great depth and sensitivity, it explores the possibility of reincarnation, while never trying to prove it.

As the title suggests, Reaching for the Oversoul, is about reaching deep within our selves for our own higher nature, wise counsel and guide. It is the story of a medical man and his journey to make sense of one patient's problems.

So many of life's questions are explored in this book. A thought provoking read.

Reminiscent of Plato's philosophy.
