This review is from: Life and Death: The Pilgrimage of the Soul (A.R.E. Membership Series) (Paperback)

A friend led me to the existence of this book. Very interesting reading, although I would not recommend it for those with dogmatic beliefs, for those without an open mind or for those who fear their own beliefs could become "contaminated" through the ideas therein.

"Life and Death: The Pilgrimage of The Soul" by Harvey A. Green incorporates excerpted discourses from the renown "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce, Rudolf Steiner, Emanuel Swedenborg, Gershom Scholem, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and the works of others. Complex concepts are illustrated and explained well so that the more metaphysical topics are accessible and understood by the layman reader.

The contents are:
Chapter 1: IN THE BEGINNING
Before The Dawn: Creation of the soul
Morning: The uinfolding of time, space and materiality
Watchmen: Witness To creation
Logos: The pattern for creation, from choice to manifestation

Chapter 2: LIFE IN THE EARTH
Body, Mind and Soul: Expressions that make the whole of each of us
Universal Laws: Conditions which hold reality together
Growth: The experience of experience
Birth, Death, and Dying: From physical birth to physical death

Chapter 3: CHANGE CONTINUES
Regions, Realms, and Planes: Conditions of reality outside of materiality

Chapter 4: COMPLETION
Return: The journey back into the earth plane

The purpose of this book, according to its author Harvey Green is "awakening in the reader a sense of his or her own immortality, through a better understanding of the continuity of life in all realms." Accordingly, our mission in the material world is to know ourselves to be ourselves and yet be one with God. As explained in Chapter 1, we are all part of the whole of God yet this does not diminish our individuality but instead, enhances our uniqueness. We are all the same and inseparable in our connection to one another. None can experience anything that ultimately does not affect all of the others. Detail is given to the role of the subconscious and the more primal, superconscious which is in tune with God. The transition from life to higher realms of the spiritual world entails the letting go of the material facets that one has become so attached to in a materially orientated world. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the incarnation of the soul and the stages it would go through to become "refreshed, renewed and prepared for our next material adventure (reincarnation)."

For the reader not subscribing to such beliefs as reincarnation or an eternal soul, the section "Universal Laws" is undoubtedly worth reading for there is no denying these unchanging "laws" shape and affect our material, physical dimension. The ones elaborated upon are: Like Begets Like / As You Sow So Shall You Reap / The Law of Us / The Law of Expectancy / The Law of Attraction / The Law of Chance / The Law of Cause and Effect / The Law of Abundance / The Law of Karma / The Law of Grace / The Law of Mercy / The Law of Love / The Law of Truth / The Law of One / The Whole Law.

This book brings forth some very interesting topics and ideas about the journey between life and death.
