Believe what you want, but believe you must, 15 Dec 2002
Of all the books produced by Dolores I have found this the most compact in terms of insight and ease of understanding.Many authors and editors, who publish material which hasn't strictly come from their own consciousness, tend to drown their subject in useless verbosity. If you are one of those readers, like me, who doesn't really care to see the endless repetition of names, titles and other trivia information, you will skip entire pages. Not so with this book. Dolores has neatly compacted questions and answers about so many things between birth and death that I now recommend others to begin their own quest into meaning with this book. Ultimately this book, like any other of its genre, deals with the personal meaning of life. That can only be achieved on a personal but also collective level. And those levels extend far beyond our lives and earth. We believe many things which, under closer scrutiny, do not hold up to common daylight. That what we believe is true for us, but not necessarily the truth, is definitely the one point this book brings to the fore. Conclusively, Dolores' challenge is really about what to believe and how to find out what to believe. We may not always like what we see, but we are always faced with the reality of our own beliefs.
