Afterlife Adventures: Life After Death Stories | What Happens when We Die | Is there Proof?
William Fergus Martin - 2017
Afterlife Adventures lets you compare different people's experiences from the Afterlife.
Is there life after death?
Is there proof?
What is it like to die?
What really happens in Heaven?
In this book you can compare different people's accounts of what it was like for them to 'die', what happened to them next, and what happened after that... The Afterlife stories include people who passed over from a heart attack, from an accident, from a long illness, in a battle zone and so on.Afterlife Adventures includes a whole chapter, When a Child 'Dies', dedicated to the heart-rending issue of what happens when a child passes over. This includes poignant messages from children who have been able to come back and tell their parents about their experience. You will discover why parents of children who 'die' before they were born are in for a big surprise when they pass over (hint: life starts at conception and the child continues to mature in the Afterlife).Get tips on being prepared for the move over there in the chapter: How to Have a Good Afterlife. Get to know about the 'nitty gritty' of the practical realities of the Afterlife. Understand why some people find it hard at first to believe that they have actually 'died' - as passing over was so easy. One man was so busy chatting away to his gardener that he did not even notice that he had 'died' till he saw that the gardener was panicking about something. He looked down and was bemused to see his own body lying on the ground. He started to wonder, "Am I dead?" and then saw his long-missed mother there to welcome him with open arms.Be reassured as to why the average person has a far better experience in the Afterlife than on Earth. Learn how the religious idea of a 'Judgment Day' is really a metaphor for the Law of Attraction as it works out in the Afterlife realms. You will also discover why there is no such thing as 'eternal punishment' and that the path of progress and evolution is open to everyone.Explore ideas about what people actually 'do' in the Afterlife and why you don't have to float around on a cloud and get bored. We also look at big questions such as how Afterlifers (people in the Afterlife) experience God, the role of important religious figures in the Afterlife and issues such as what causes some people to become Earth Bound and how to help them.The chapter on Reincarnation and Rebirth offers thought-provoking ideas that give a very different slant on this fascinating topic. We explore how connecting with a Group Soul allows us to fully experience an 'incarnation' without having to actually incarnate.Afterlife Adventures only asks you to have an open mind and explore what people have to say about their own passing over. Why not replace superstition with facts; replace ignorance with practical information; replace grief with hope and comfort; and replace fear and dread with love and wonder?

The Gita Way- Secret Recipe to achieve the purpose of life
Shweta Chandra - 2016
Without delving into either mythological or God-centric discourse, the book attempts to understand and explain various insights from the Gita through, in the author's words, derived theory and application. The Gita Way attempts to shed light on matters of self-realisation, and identifying and following the path to achieve the purpose of life. Within the framework of Vedic philosophy represented by Gita, this book explores:How to discover the swa-bhava, the inherent natural strength of our real-self?Is my profession aligned with my swa-bhava? What is my purpose of life?What is the real meaning of moksha, the liberation? How the realization of individual purpose leads us to attain supreme purpose we are born to achieve? Using the principles of Gita, this book presents innovative findings on theory of prarabdha, the luck or destiny, role of knowledge and karma, continuous improvement, yoga of universal harmony and yoga of devotion. To highlight few, in chapter combined discipline of knowledge and karma, authors introduce most important part of their research—Centring. Centring summarizes power of combined application of yoga of knowledge and karma along with simplified theory of spirit and supreme spirit. Chapter Vision of Universal Form and Yoga of Liberation simplifies the meaning of moksha, the state of liberation by linking it to the attainment of supreme purpose of life. Chapters on Yoga of Devotion and Continuous improvement focus on recipe of staying on the unique path of achieving individual goal. Unlike other books on Bhagavad Gita, the Gita Way is not a chapter wise discourse. Instead it presents deduced concepts in first place supported with relevant reference from the whole Gita. For example, in the first chapter of the Gita Way, you may get a reference of last chapter of Gita relevant to the topic of discussion.Contents:1.

My Visit to Hell
Paul Thigpen - 2007
Now, the story continues… Thomas Travis had always thought the toughest streets in the ghettos of Atlanta were next door to hell. But he didn’t know just how close they were until the threat of racial violence sent him fleeing down the stairs of an abandoned building…only to fall headlong into a tortured realm of fire and ice, the place of the damned. The only chance of escape was to trust the strange elderly woman who met him there and insisted on being his guide. She claimed to know the way out, but it would lead through all the terrifying circles of divine judgment, each one deeper and more tormenting than the last. In the lowest pit, the Lord of Darkness himself lay in wait. Thomas had lived a godless life, and now there was hell to pay. If his soul could be purged on the journey, he just might make it. But the odds were against him. In hell, the only guarantee is justice…and the only way out is down. About the AuthorPAUL THIGPEN, PhD, is an award-winning journalist and the best-selling author of more than twenty-five books, including A Dictionary of Quotes from the Saints, Blood of the Martyrs, and Seed of the Church.

Gita Wisdom: Krishna’s Teachings on the Yoga of Love
Joshua M. Greene - 2009
In Gita Wisdom, Joshua Greene retells this timeless text in a completely new way, revealing that it is, in essence, a heart-to-heart talk between two friends about the meaning of life. As Krishna and his friend Arjuna reminisce on a battlefield known as Kurukshetra, readers learn that the two played together as children, were close as young men, and became family when Arjuna married Krishna’s sister. In later life the men shared extraordinary adventures, including a journey to places outside the known universe. Like all great literature, the Gita explores the human condition: who we are, where we came from, and why we’re here. With a helpful glossary that lists names, terms, and places, this accessible, enlightening retelling is the perfect introduction to the Gita’s venerable wisdom.

Refuting the External World
Göran Backlund - 2014
It will effectively reveal and dispel any wrong-thinking surrounding this idea upon which all else stands. The purpose? To unburden you from all notions of ‘self’, allowing you to directly discover the raw, non-dual truth of Being.This isn't the first work that tackles this subject. But others have left it at “we can’t really know whether there’s anything beyond our experience”, while I go all the way and say that we can know – and in this book I’ll show you exactly how and why this idea of an objective, physical universe of time and space beyond our perceptions is nothing but a figment of our imagination.But it’s a book unlike all others on the contemporary non-dual awakening scene. You won’t find any ‘pointers’ in it. What you’ll find is stone cold logic hacking away at the very foundation of existence itself. And in its wake; when the dust finally settles; you’ll recognize that, not only were the words of the sages true all along, but they've gone from being a remote possibility to being the light and guiding principle of your life. What words?"Consciousness is all."
