Echoes of the Soul

The book talks about what a soul is, what life is like on the other side, how and why souls incarnate on earth, the various levels of heaven, the nature of God, and how people deal with death.

It's an extremely well-written book without any trace of the stuffiness one finds in many books of this nature. As with many other book reviews I have done I will just summarize some of what I thought were the most interesting points of the book.

First, on the other side, there is the Pink Place. It's basically a hospital to help souls adjust to their transference from the world of the living to heaven; it also is there to help those who had physically handicapped bodies adjust, and also to help those who had committed suicide.

This is one of the points that seems to agree with Sylvia Browne's description of heaven, that there is a hospital whose purpose is to help souls make the transition, and to give special help to those who had very difficult transitions such as in suicide.

She also describes a place where music is performed on the other side, with many types of music being done.

She also writes that the type of heaven we expect is pretty much the type of heaven we end up in, including those who believe they are going to hell; they encounter their own version of hell on the other side. She also says there are several levels of heaven.

She says reincarnation does occur, but only for those souls up through the fourth level of heaven; after that there is no need to reincarnate. She also describes the various levels of souls.

She says the soul enters the body at birth.

Abortion, she says, can cause a soul to have to wait to be born into that particular woman, although some abortions do not involve a soul at all since no soul had been scheduled, so to speak, for that fetus.

She writes that the conditions some people are born into are basically situations that will help them learn the lessons they need to learn in this lifetime, and that this is all planned out before the soul incarnates in a physical body.

She says life on the other side involves continued learning, but can also involve sports activities, relationships, and for some even a type of occupation.

She says limbo is a place of souls who choose not to move on and such souls are the ones who tend to come through in ouija boards and automatic writing and are not necessarily doing this is a positive manner.

She also writes about the Hall of Records on the other side, which most writers refer to.
