I’ve been reading spiritual books for 35 years but this is the first one that I have finished and then gone straight back and read all over again. I know this is one of the most important books I will ever read. I wrote to the author (another thing I’ve rarely done), and quote from that email here:
“I want to congratulate you on distilling your immense experiences and your far-reaching discoveries into a book that is relatively concise, considering the topic it covers. Your writing is beautiful, your descriptions often stunning. Of course, as you say so often, words cannot do justice to what you have experienced. But you have made words do some wondrous things here.
One of the biggest blessings I've received from your book has been the gift of perspective. I have been studying books on the afterlife since I first found a copy of Michael Newton's Journey of Souls in the 1990s. Lately, however, I seemed to have reached a ceiling with this study, wanting more. Your book took me far, far beyond what I had previously understood to be the map of the universe, of consciousness.
This is crucial to our well-being. I am a storyteller, and understand the importance of the questions "Who are we? Where are we? Where are we going?" that stories have forever tried to answer. Our modern age is suffering from some truly awful answers to these questions, and therefore I hope your book reaches a very wide audience. I am sure that the ripples of your work will affect the entire human project of trying to answer these questions, not just directly through your writing, but through the endeavors of others that you will inspire.
Reading your book I felt that at times that your work was directly affecting me and my life, in a way that felt similar to the work did in your sessions with the collective consciousness of humanity. I can't fully explain this, but it felt like your session work and the heroic task of making sense of what you experienced, was having a small harvest in my life - changing its course in a blessed way, by expanding my perspective.
I could go on, but I imagine you will be a busy man currently. I don't expect an answer, but I sincerely hope you receive this email and that somehow my words can convey my deepest thanks.
A bow, to your immense courage, your steadfastness and your heroic sense of duty. In some mysterious way, you have given me a blessing beyond words”.
