This review is from: The Journey Home: What Near-Death Experiences and Mysticism Teach Us About the Meaning of Life and Living (Hardcover)
Berman's book is not thick, but he has succintly covered large and important issues about the meaning of life and how to live a spiritually meaningful life. He compares near-death exepriences with mystical experiences, present and past, and draws intellectually and logically brilliant conclusions of the common elements in them both. He does not concentrate on what NDEs may tell about our existence after death, but makes these accouts (combined with accounts of mystical experiences) a basis for a perennial philosophy, or as he prefers to call it eternal theology. His eternal theology, close to Aldous Huxley's perennial philosophy, is, as far as I am able to judge, the best basis for a tolerant, encompassing, unitive religion, that an intellectually honest person can accept in the Global Village we are living in. This is not an intellectual tour de force, the book is written with much warmth, gratitude for the gifts of life and humility. It's central message is the importance of love for a truly spiritual and fulfilling life. Read it! You will be richer afterwards. |
