In his book Soul Afterlife: Beyond the Near-Death Experience Bud Megargee engages the reader on topics that many think of but not all are open to talk about; life, death, and the after life. Every human being is mortal. Knowing that at some point man will cease to exist is not a pleasant thought for many. The author however tries to make the topic about life, death, and what exists beyond, easy for his readers. Reading Soul Afterlife was a delight because the author’s style of writing is not spooky nor eerie. Even when talking about death, Bud Megargee uses a tone that is friendly and warm. Each topic has something unique the reader learns about living souls and how to deal with disturbing realities. One of the chapters that I found to be intriguing was the first chapter. ‘The Octopus Analogy’. The brilliant narration set the pace for the book. The author talks about his interest in otherworldly aspects of non-physical realities and explains how he was introduced to the octopus analogy and what it entails. I enjoyed reading about the clustering of souls and the author’s spiritual adventure. Conversations between Bud and his Soul guide Laz were fascinating. While reading the dialogue between the two, the reader not only learns about the spirit world but also gets informed on certain things in life that are thought to be mysterious. Ever thought of reincarnation? This is a topic that I always find intriguing. The author extensively writes about reincarnation, the birth of new souls, and related topics. The discussions on Buddhist theories were eye-opening. Being a practicing Buddhist, the author had a lot to write about Buddhism, its beliefs, and notions. The text on Buddhist tenets was captivating. Many people question whether Karma is real. In his book, Bud Megargee writes about Karma and explains to readers whether Karma is a real concept or not. One thing consistent about Bud Megargee’s writing style is clarity. Bud leaves no term unexplained. His conversations with Laz the soul guide are raw and enlightening for any curious mind. At the end of the book, the reader gets to understand life, death, reincarnation, and related topics. Soul Afterlife is a great book for people who are looking for answers about the complexities in life and death. The author bases most of the discussion on Eastern philosophy, which makes his writing style distinct and the content in his book much more interesting to follow. The authors’ thoughts are well defined and the conversations in the book compelling. Bud Megargee's book answers provocative questions human beings have about life, spirituality, the otherworld, universal energies, and other spiritual subjects.
