About this ebook
“No other researcher has been able to transmit to the rest of us the true meaning and impact of near-death phenomena for the planet.”
—Bruce Greyson, MD, bestselling author of After
“A major contribution that offers a wealth of case materials together with balanced and insightful commentary.”
—Raymond A. Moody, PhD, bestselling author of Life After Life
While providing many remarkable accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs), Lessons from the Light is much more than an inspiring collection of NDEs. In clear language, the practical lessons for living and dying are to be found from the study of these experiences. Written by one of the foremost authorities on NDEs, Lessons from the Light is a book for those looking to gain knowledge and wisdom to enhance their own lives by incorporating the insights stemming from what many people have come to believe is the ultimate spiritual experience.
Although Lessons from the Light recounts many moving stories of NDEs, it is not just another book filled with inspiring testimonies—it includes helpful guidance and practical exercises concerning how readers can make use of this knowledge to live with greater self-insight, self-compassion and concern for others, as well as be better prepared for death, dying, and bereavement. Readers can easily apply what they have learned to their own lives and absorb and internalize these lessons from the Light in such a way as to lead to deep personal and spiritual transformation.
This edition replaces the previous edition (ISBN 978-1-930491-11-3) and contains a new postscript by the author.
