Reincarnation Is Not Linear!,
By
This review is from: Coming Back Alive: The Case for Reincarnation (Paperback)
This book, originally published in Canada, and with a foreword by the Dalai Lama, is an excellent review of the published literature on reincarnation, with special emphasis on recent books recounting the experiences of individuals.
The book is written in a calm and detached manner. The author notes that belief in rebirth is not exclusively a Buddhist or Hindu idea, that the idea has been present in most religions.
Fisher also points out that reincarnation is not linear, that time “being the product of our mundane consciousness, is no more than a convenient illusion – time doesn’t really exist”. He says that the oversoul - being in a timeless state – can see all the various lives happening at once, but the separate souls can see only their individual existences.
He says, “The future is here and has always existed. That is why gifted clairvoyants can foretell what will come to pass; by psychically tuning into a higher frequency they are able to perceive the everlasting present.”
Alan Vaughan is quoted as saying that the “By learning more about the unconscious blueprint of life, we bring to the surface more of our reasons for choosing to be born. We can never, I suspect, know all of our blueprint, for that would rob us of our zest for life.” Fisher also quotes Rudolf Steiner as saying that before the spiritual seed of the physical body descends to the parents who have been chose to receive it, the soul is granted a vision of the life to come. Sometimes, said Steiner, this preview is so shocking that the self draws back in horror.”
The book gives a number of examples of groups of souls reincarnating together and of the idea that individual choose and plan the outlines of their next rebirth beforehand, in order to develop themselves.
The author says, ..”in one fundamental aspect the privileged few who have visited the interlife receive the same unrelenting message: We are thoroughly responsible for who we are and the circumstances in which we find ourselves. We are the ones who do the choosing.”
In short this is a well-written and interesting introduction to the whole are of reincarnation and I strongly recommend it.

One the Best books on Reincarnation,

This review is from: Coming Back Alive: The Case for Reincarnation (Paperback)
The late Joe Fisher was an excellent writer and this book is just another example of what the world and certainly readers of this genre are missing, his style is clear and concise and very readable.
The book is well researched, although the author is a believer he does not come across as preaching a dogma. I recommend this book to anyone seeking more knowledge on this subject

Putting us in perspective,
By
This review is from: Coming Back Alive: The Case for Reincarnation (Paperback)
Reincarnation is fascinating to most people, I believe. Some do reject the whole matter as too far out, and others embrace this possibility too easily. In "Coming Back Alive" the author makes his points clearly. To him reincarnation is a fact of life - but he doesn't push it. He's causious to line up the matter, to go step by step to the enevitable conclusion. In that way Fisher doesn't seem to be a mere "salesman" of a product.
I would classify the book as a book on reincarnation you ought to read after you had read some other books about this issue. It's not that easy to comperehend without some elementary knowledge on beforehand. The reader gets some surplus on spirituality as sentences by famous and not so famous people arranged in a box after each chapter. And it's facinating, that the believing in reincarnation is ageold. It seems to be a kind of installment in the human psyche. And it's not bad at all.
