Summary: Is there is life beyond Earth?
Review: A highly readable true account of guided astral proyection This narration is, according to the author, a true story which includes astral proyection, and in general life in the astral and mental planes that you won't be, by the way, able to put down. This spiritual Master unexpectedly shows up at the author's home claiming he dwells in other realities, that he has the answers to some of his spiritual queries, and is there to help him. The detailed and fascinating adventures narrated in this excellent book are the result not only of this Hindu's teachings but mostly his guided "tour" of the astral plane. The story and adventures are so absorbing and the explanations so consistent that the reader, even if he does not know anything concerning the astral, must conclude this individual is not only an expert on the subject but in fact an experienced and advanced dweller of the astral, and mental planes of existence.

Review: After reading this book I truly felt that there would be the right place for my soul to go just waiting for me, and that I've already been there several times in this lifetime. If you queston the traditional beliefs of what is going to happen, read this book and you might just find something you can live with and die with.

Summary: That's our journey
Review: I began reading this book, about 3 weeks ago and I haven't finished it yet. It is giving me so much in every way, that sometimes, when I have questions on my mind, I find the answer on this book. I am 19 years old and I never lost a very close person to me, but it's just makes me stronger to think what's going to be like when it happens. It is a world beyond imagination and I guarranty: It is a journey!

Summary: Life beyond death, for westerners
Review: I read this book in Brazil during the seventies. I gave it as a present to many friends. The amazing story Mr. Richelieu tells, as a real experience, makes a lot of sense for all who came in contact with facts beyond the physical realms, as it makes sense for me. The author tells about the mystic "Acharya" who visits him one day in Colombo, Sri Lanka, during the II World War, after the author lost his younger pilot brother. The mysterious visitor starts to answer his questions, over a series of meetings, about life after death and later takes him to the astral planes and beyond, through guided conscious astral projections, so that mr. Richelieu can experience everything for himself. The whole book is fascinating. I've read somewhere that Mr. Richard Matheson used this book as part of his extensive bibliography listed in the book "What dreams may come", that was later adapted as a movie, with Robin Williams.
To say the least this book brings a lot of interesting insights to the naïve Judeo-Christian belief system about life after death, that was amusingly represented when preacher Billy Graham was asked by CNN's Larry King what he, Mr. Graham, would say to the (Christian) "God Almighty", when facing "Him" in the "heaven". Mr. Graham ("spiritual advisor to many "US commander in chiefs", since Eisenhower) answered that even though he had been studying the bible for dozens of years (maybe 60?), he still hadn't understood some parts of the "holly" book, so he would ask "God" to "explain them" to him! This shows where Christianity is standing. With some research, anyone can know that the Bible is a huge patchwork of stories and tales borrowed from mythology from Sumeria, Egypt, India and Greece, among others. And Lao Tzu in his Tao Te Ching defined "God" better than anyone else I read, when he says: The TAO is older than god.
Mr. Richelieu brings new light to reconstruct the present western naive paradigm about life after death, god and religions, as his guide, the kind and wise Indian Acharya sheds light on these matters in a sober and profound way, without attacking anyone or imposing any sectarian religious beliefs or dogmas. Five stars is the minimum for such a book, written in simple language anyone can relate to. For those who can read portuguese language, the Brazilian edition can be found in any religious/esoteric corner of our bookstores (or at the brazilian ebay partner site, mercadolivre_dot_com) for a fraction price of the rare and expensive english editions, the title there is "A Viagem de uma Alma".

Summary: THIS BOOK STARTED ME ON THE ROAD.
Review: I was housesitting a friends place in 1978 when I came across this book. Even though I hadnt lost anyone close to me - I found it a revelation. Since then I have lost a son, my Grandmother and Grandfather, a very close friend and an Uncle. This book inspired a life passion as I have read hundreds of books regarding re-incarnation, the cosmos, angels, life on other planets etc. But this story and title has remained in my memory forever. I intend searching for it until I find a copy - to read it again, 21 years later. So much has changed. It will be an even better read now that all this time has passed, and Ive experienced more of life. In 1978 A Souls Journey introduced me to a topic that has become a major source of interest for me; for that I am eternally grateful.

Summary: A really inspiring book
Review: I was recommended this book by a friend who'd lost her boyfriend in a motorcycle accident. I must say that it was one of the most enjoyable and inspirational books I have ever read. I must admit that I was a little suspicious about how accurate the descriptions of life in the spirit realms are, especially as the writer used a nom-de-plume and nobody seems to know much about him. However since then I have done a great deal of reading and talking to a lot of people who have had similar out of body experiences, and nothing yet has contradicted anything mentioned in the book. In fact, everything has correlated perfectly with the personal experiences I've come across.
Another good thing about it is that it's written in a pretty matter-of-fact way and doesn't push any particular religious point of view or have any axe to grind. I recommend it very highly indeed for its enjoyment and inspirational value.

Summary: what is after death?
Review: If you ever wondered about this, read this book. I read this book as a teenager and re-read it again recently. It is based on a true story based on the author's experience. He was taken out of his body to visit the 'other side' of death. Reading this book gives a person hope and reassurance that death is not the end. There are other books published about life after death but I think this is one of the earlier books and the message remains the same. It's not the comfort or material gain one takes to the other side, instead it is compassion and love.

Summary: Condensed Truth Packed In A Small Book
Review: This book is THE one book I recommend to all my friends and family. There is so much truth, on numerous subjects, revealed in these pages. Some people have searched their whole lives to discover only a fraction of what can be found here. I'm talking about the author's ability to beautifully describe the indescibable. It's a wonderful story on ALL levels. It works as a love story, as a guide to the higher planes and as a texbook on reincarnation. One cannot help but be moved and uplifted by the author's experiences. I have given this book to two people who had terminal cancer. They both said that reading it was the best gift they could have ever received. It gave them a comfort and an acceptance of what was to come that they did not have before. It is a wonderful book for anyone who has ever lost a loved one. It is a book that will satisfy one's own soul about that great unknown....death and the afterlife.
