Local notes

This enlightened publication charts the doorways and intense experiences relating to dying and the other realms. It includes a very cohesive outline of womb life and eventual birth, demonstrating archetypal and personal elements, relating life to death and death to life. Birth is often more shocking and traumatic than death. Womb experiences do not determine so much as colour and influence present life in the now. Examining these transpersonal encounters and understanding their source, allows for an expansion of consciousness and a greater freedom from the past. Much myth encapsulates these ancient and unique matrices, which define the emotional and mental landscapes of the soul. They necesarrily then shape and galvanise our culture. Becoming conscious of the multidimensional and universal aspects of human life, in all its pain and glory, allows for new comprehensions, both as an individual and as a race, therfore fascilitating and strengtening Mans evolutionary potential, both physically and spiritually. This is therefore,an important and necessary book.
