Despite what the previous reviewer wrote, this story truly touched me and made me think about the afterlife. Is it possible to communicate with those who have passed on before us? I have never done so myself but that does not make it NOT possible! I applaud Linda Keen for her courage to write this book. The death of John Lennon was tramatic for those who loved and admired him. Why not believe Linda's accounts? What do you have to lose? Maybe that part of you that has secretly mourned the death John for almost 20 years. If you believe in the theory of reincarnation, you can believe John "agreed" to have his life end the way it did so he could learn"life lesson" from that. Everything Linda wrote made complete sense to me. From spirit guides to Hell, Linda's style of writing is very clear and flowing.Open your minds! Just because you cannot channel a spirit does not mean someone else can't. If you are a fan of John Lennon, you will be happy to know John is truly at peace.

Forget the premise that this book is John Lennon speaking. Suspend any judgements you may have about what is reality and what is fantasy. There is more here than meets the eye, by a longshot. The information in this book reflects a separate reality that Linda Keen was not privy to prior to having "John Lennon" disclose it to her. Most people reading this book will not be aware of the "tradition" in esoteric knowledge of the "underground stream" of "Arcadia". There is one whole section in this book about a celestial realm called Arcadia. This tradition began almost 3500 years ago in the central Peloponnesia of Greece! The underground stream declares that there is a paradise where those who are in tune with the natural laws of the Universe go to. A principal aspect of this paradise are the "Tones" of the Celestial Spheres. A rather fitting place for John to retire to, one might say. The underground stream's most recent "awakening" began about 1430 AD in the small province of Lorrain in France. From that time on it has figured prominently in almost ALL of the music we have received from artists since that epoch. This is not common knowledge but knowledge readily available through other written resources. The fact that an author, a gifted teacher of intuitive development, (her and her husband ran a school in the Netherlands for pupils interested in researching this)has received this information from one of the greatest rock and roll personages of our age speaks volumes for an incredible "possibility". That is, the fact of Arcadia. I encourage any reader of this book to dig a little deeper in the knowledge being shared within it's pages. There is one more little "syncronicity". In this book, John mentions that we should follow the "blueprint rituals". HE does not say what these are. The week this book was released there was a website I heard about describing what the blueprint rituals are! The author of the website had no knowledge whatsoever of Linda Keen's book.... This book will begin an incredible journey for those who can see beyond the surface premise of John Lennon speaking directly to Linda. In fact, do not even think much about this, study the information and become "initiated".

This is one of the best books that i have read about life after death. and if you are a John Lennon fan, you will love it! Linda Keens book, takes you to a wonderous heavenly world, where Linda and her spirit guide , Talk with John, and other beings about life in the many levels of Heaven. I guarentee ,after reading this book, you will never look at Heaven the same way again!!!

For years, I have mourned the passing of John Lennon. I couldn't understand why he was taken away in the prime of his life. After reading this book, I now celebrate his life instead of thinking so heavily of his death. Linda Keen has been blessed with the gift of communicating with the spirit world and I am so greatful she has the courage to share this amazing book with us. I now understand John choose his life as John Lennon to learn certain lessons. Thru Linda, John explains why a person chooses a certain life and how we all can become closer to our spirit guides. I can honestly say this book has changed my insight on reincarnation and of Heaven.Thank you Linda for letting us know John is in peace. May his spirit touch us all.

By writing this enlightening, thought-provoking book, Linda Keen has opened up a necessary dialogue about life-after-death and the probability of the continued existence of the spirit of the man who was known as "John Lennon." Why would such a brilliant light as Lennon be extinguished upon leaving the body in which he accomplished such wondrous things in the world? Lennon's own documented ideas about spirit and the hereafter resonate clearly with Keen's descriptions of his "afterlife" spiritual communications with her and their mutual exploration of love and light. It matters not whether you believe, but if you love and respect the memory of John Lennon, take this beautiful journey into the unknown in honor of one of the greatest visionaries of all time. John Lennon lives! Highly recommended.

With humor, beauty, and insight, Across the Universe has challenged my beliefs about heaven, reincarnation, and humanity. For all of us who have been touched by John's music, this incredible story confirms what we already suspected--the divine inspiration from which that music flowed. Along with John, Linda Keen takes us into the afterlife with beautiful descriptions of its splendor and magic. This book is a true treasure for as we travel "across the universe", we experience the power of traveling into our own souls.

I noticed one reviewer said "John did not even believe in god but knew that we are all wonderful without any kind of religious experience." I'd like to point out that "God" and "Religion" are not the same. Linda's book.. does not point this out, but it's true, they are not the same things. As for John's remarks on the "Imagine" album.. if one knew anything about Lennon's life... he took it back before his untimely end. As for Linda's book.. wonderful book! It explores depths of the soul and the mind that very few have ever though possible. Like one said before. "It's one helluva trip!" Go check out the book...

It's hard to put into words something that touches one's soul. John Lennon touched many souls while he was on earth. I'm thankful that Linda Keen had the courage to write this book to let others know his work continues. Keep shining on John....I've been touched again.

My original review for the original title for this book, "John Lennon in Heaven" was reposted by the author when the new title was published, so appears to be her own review. To correct that, I am reposting this under a new review, below.

In re-reading my review and also reviews of others, I am disheartened by the negative comments by psychotherapists and others who think they "know" that Ms. Keen was not connecting with John Lennon. Connecting with someone like John Lennon has posed the risk of having to prove everything and inviting ridicule from all corners, and Linda took that risk, in order to communicate her story.

In the many years that John has been a spirit guide to me, and to others that I have met along the way, this style of communicating may seem silly to some, but it seems to be the way he does it.

Linda's attempt to communicate this style was a lighthearted way of bringing John to the masses in a non-scientific, non-psychobabble or new agey way, but just as though she were having a conversation with someone.

For what it's worth, the style may not appeal to some, but will to many, and in the end, there's much to be appreciated. The effort to discount it doesn't prove anything either.

Here's my original review:
"Across the Universe with John Lennon" is a down-to-earth and humorous story as well as a highly developed and positive spiritual message---just what I would expect from John himself. Linda's story bridges a gap---the gap between the sadness of John's death and the vague suspicion that our spirit friends are indeed trying to help us at this juncture in history around the new millenium. If ever there as a person who would try to communicate with us from beyond the grave, wouldn't John Lennon be among the first to sign up for the job? Anyone who understood him at all during his life must agree that John was a humanitarian who believed in love and peace and did not shy away from unconventional ways to get his message across---first through rock-n-roll and then through bed-ins. He was also deeply spiritual and experienced much psychic phenomena himself. It would not be difficult to accept the notion that John would still be around to help us, to finish the job he started during his life. He loves us. In all his unconventionality, he wants to show us that life still goes on after the death of the body and that many lessons are still being learned, even for him. He is showing us how it really is. God is not an old guy with a beard, and people do not immediately get wings and harps when they die. Whether you are a Beatle fan who loved John Lennon and would like to hear how he's doing and what he has to say, or just someone interested in the spirit world, this book is extremely enjoyable and beneficial to your individual spiritual growth.

Linda Keen takes you on a Magical Mystery Tour of one of the levels of heaven with none other than John Lennon. John is Linda's tour guide in the land of Arcadia. Not only does this book give a wonderful insight into the world of the spirit that has crossed over. It also offers a reasonable answer to the question of reincarnation. As if these things were not enough. Within the pages of this book, John Lennon is literally alive for the reader. From cover to cover, this is a beautiful book.
