From the Back Cover

FROM ONENESS TO SHIRLEYNESS

Avoid karma re-runs. Prevent unnecessary incarnations. Let Hester Mundis show you 101 ways to enhance your personal and planetary awareness, and soon you'll be able to plan for a rich and active afterlife.

#54 READING THE TAROT

THE HIGH PRIESTESS: You know all and see all. (If card appears upside down: You're a yenta.)

#64 SEDUCING THE UNCONSCIOUS

The best way to seduce the unconscious is simply to slip into something more comfortable-like an altered state.

#44 CRYSTALS CLARIFIED

Clear white quartz crystal is the most versatile stone. It not only heightens awareness and increases spirituality, but can aid in telepathy, healing and prosperity, as well as in the finding of soul mates, contact lenses, and lost car keys.

This review is from: 101 Ways to Avoid Reincarnation: Or, Getting It Right the First Time (Paperback)

This author starts out through the forest of New Age philosophies by giving us a test! Yes, you're going to be tested on how you lived your life! That's what reincarnation is really all about. What grade are YOU going to get when you sign-out?

Hester Mundis is determined to teach us all that she knows. Believe me, Hester knows it all! From Astral Plane Reservations thru Karma, Karma, Karma Chameleons to Creative Visualizations for All Occasions to Holistic Housekeeping - that's one of my favorites!

From Entertaining Negatives and Other New Age Gaffes to Why Good things Happen to Bad People to We Are All Food to Utterly Divine Divinations to I Ching, You Ching, We All Ching to Atlantis on $5 a Day & so much more!

Remember, this is humor & Hester Mundis is quite serious about her humor! She's given us a healthy dose of hilarity, good for a 101 laughs at ourselves, our expectations & the crazy way we scurry around hoping to find heaven before we get there!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the humor book you're looking for!, October 24, 1997

This review is from: 101 Ways to Avoid Reincarnation: Or, Getting It Right the First Time (Paperback)

This is one funny book! The author does a real send-up of all that New Age stuff, so if you're a believer, this isn't the book for you. It's just plain good fun, with every page loaded with laugh outloud lines. I've read this book several times and some of the sayings that stick in my mind are, "I Ching, You Ching, We all Ching" and "Channeling for Dollars." The book cover quotes Joan Rivers as saying that Hester Mundis is one of the funniest women writing today. I have to agree. She's hysterical and every time I read it I find new gems. The best!

This book makes you laugh out loud just reading the cover. There is no reason to read it word for word, just open to any page and prepare to be amused. You may not actually avoid another incarnation, but this book does make this one more pleasant.
