Immortality

“This is really excellent.”
Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider, and New Pathways in Psychology.

The Eternal Quest for Immortality includes an examination of what immortality is, plus a look at the lives of some who have experienced glimpses of it. The book has two main strands: examples of intimations of immortality, and the methods used to experience them.

The process involves a “flipping” of something living from out of the body, almost like another birth. The living body remains unaware that the separated part has gone, albeit on a temporary basis. The carrier, or soul, is therefore the essence of a person and is the part that survives bodily dissolution at death. That it can leave a living body suggests that anecdotal reports of the soul departing a person in pain and distress, as in near-death experiences, are true. Death is not the fearful thing it seems to outside observers. It’s as if a “lifeboat” removes consciousness from the worst aspects of physical shut-down.

There is also anecdotal evidence in some mystical traditions, particularly Taoism and a few Hindu sects, that the first part of the process — the golden-glow stillness described in the Prelude to this book — builds the power to escape the body almost at will. It may also indicate a step that needs to be made to rise permanently above earthly life and death.

The way the world works is much simpler than some suppose. It is fully explained for those with eyes-to-see what is “staring them in the face”. This book’s intention is to wake up those with ears-to-hear to the real purpose of life and the opportunities it offers.
