Customer Reviews:
Much Truth and Wisdom
Having read the works of Drs. Wickland, Fiore, Sagan, and others cited by the author, I see much truth and wisdom in this book, which is well written and very informative. Unfortunately, it is beyond the boggle threshold of many people, including most of the others who have reviewed the book.

Unlike the other reviewers, I don't pretend to have a full grasp of absolute truth, if there is such a thing as absolute truth, but there is a preponderance of credible evidence suggesting that spirit possession is very real, i.e., low-level or earthbound spirits, many who don't even know they are dead, are attaching themselves to the auras of humans and influencing humans in negative behaviour. Of course, mainstream psychicatry and psychology, in all their arrogance, scoff at this, as they are locked into a reductionist mindset. "This smug nihilism with its superior air of scientific wisdom is often only the opposite pole of the dogmatic certitude of the churchman," Jirah D. Buck, M.D. once wrote. "Actual knowledge of the human soul is quite as far removed from the one as the other. Credulity and Incredulity siimply annul each other; often make faces at each other, while Progress stalks alone in the middle of the road, a "tramp" or a "vagabond..."

The skeptic asks how one cannot know he or she is dead. Does one know that he is alive when he is dreaming during sleep?

Don't fall victim to the closed-minded thinking of some of the other reviewers. This book has much to offer.

Probably the worst book I have ever read.
The only redeeming points of this book are the few conversations that the author has with his uncle. The rest is just quotations from other books. There is enough original material here for about a chapter and a half. The author was set on making a book out of it so he just padded it with things that other authors had said.

I read it to the end though. Probably because the author has a very nice writing style. He is probably a good playwrite though I have never read any of his plays. He just didn't have enough material for a book here. I'm surpised it got published.

Written for Wackos and Gullibles
This book deserves five stars for nutty chutzpah and one star for sensibleness. It owes its editorial existence to the huge market that exists for nut-case writing aimed at the naive and ignorant. There is simply ZERO scientific credibility for the concepts that Hill so glibly presents.

In one way, though, this book is an apt parody of readers who don't know they're mentally dead. These readers have to attach themselves to others who blithely tell them what to think about mythological life after death.

Speaking as a retired university professor who has read many hundreds of books, I have rarely seen one as screwball as this one.
