Items related to Spirit: A Story of Death ... and Life
Synopsis
This fascinating book addresses the perpetual questions of mankind's age-old search for spiritual understanding. In it, Gregory Shaw has presented the results of a lifetime of spiritual investigation in a story format that is not only easy to read and understand, but also bursting with insight and revelation.
There is a continuation of life after this physical one. It has been described and documented extensively in the surviving records of a wide variety of cultures in different places and times of human history. It has been only during the last century that modern spiritual investigators have collected and compared the evidence. Anyone who peruses the literature of near-death experiences will find a remarkable consistency to the events and situations encountered by those who have been to the other side, and come back to tell about it. There are many.
However, Spirit is much more than an anthology of the literature of survival of the human soul. It vividly describes the physical, mental, and spiritual nature of human beings, and the nature of our relationship to other humans in flesh and in the spirit. It explains our responsibilities to those whom we live among, to the great powers of the universe, to our individual selves, and to the One Self. It derives from the ancient spiritual traditions of Taoism, Buddhism, and early Christianity, more recent Theosophy, and direct personal revelatory spiritual experience. It will be your guide to a deeper understanding of the meaning of your life and actions. If you know and understand the philosophy presented in this book, and base your actions on this new understanding, you cannot help but bring more purpose, peace of mind, and care for others into your life.
