Mary T. Reflects on the Other Side: A Compelling Vision of the Afterlife

One of the problems with books like this is that so many have been written, and they are usually very much like each other, so I tend to look for things that make one book at least somewhat different from the others.

In this book, the author says that we reincarnate through a series of lives. When we die at the end of a life, there is a relative or a spirit helper on the other side to greet us and help us adjust.

She says people on the other side look around 35 years of age since that is considered a time when their physical selves are in good shape.

She writes that people who reincarnate as a male a number of times, then reincarnate as a female, may have trouble adjusting to the difference. She does not say this, but it is possible that this type of thing could help explain transgenderism. A person born female a number of times incarnates as a male and throughout parts of his life he is mentally positive and with a feeling in his very soul that he should have been born a female.

She says on the other side there are libraries and the great artists and performers will be on the other side continuing to make their works of art.

She says Mu and Atlantis were both real.

She says that a type of hell exists, but there are not many souls there, and the ones who do go there are the ones we would consider truly evil (like Hitler) and who feel no remorse at all for the things they did while they were alive.

She also takes a strong stance against 'psychic toys' such as ouija boards, automatic writing, tarot cards, or chanting mantras.

I'll agree with her on ouija boards. Automatic writing is difficult to judge since there is no way at all to prove beyond doubt that the writing is coming from some other entity. I disagree with her on the bad nature of tarot cards and chanting, though.

She writes about suicide and says it is not acceptable, and those who commit suicide will pass over into an area of loneliness and darkness and will not proceed into the light until the time when they would have died on earth if they had not chosen to kill themselves.

As with other books, she does not deal with some major questions, such as:

What is the ultimate purpose of existence. In other words, what happens to the individual soul after it has been through enough incarnations so it is a purified soul, so to speak.

How does the other side make any difference in the attitudes of people who have bad attitudes and are filled with intolerance and hate towards others?

How does the other side make any difference in people who are criminals on this side? How does their behavior change when they cross over, or does it change? (Just because we die and pass over we do not automatically become all-knowing).

Has anyone ever encountered souls from beings that are from other planets?

I'd like to see someone deal with those types of questions.

As for this particular book, it's good although not substantially different from similar books.
