For keeping an open mind..

When I was a young teenager I could read a book straight through without putting it down. I've been missing that and then when I came to reading this book it re-occured; I couldn't put it down and there was that wonderful feeling again.Most of the time I am not on good terms with religion, it creates war if you ask me and therefor I also normally have a hard time reading books that mention God continously through out. However Rosemary has managed to get around my defenses when it comes to that and I could read this book openmindedly.Reading openheartedly is quite easy for me, but keeping an open mind about things, can be hard sometimes. I found myself respecting her description of what she felt was a God, it was opened enough for me to think of it as something else, anything that my mind wouldn't despise so much. Maybe it helps that her descriptions of certain happenings reminded me of my own experiences. In particular I liked her description of the ether body and then when she went on to tie that together with the "out of body experiences" when you are looking down on your own body - I thought it was phenomenal how well she described it.-If my words are different than the words used in the book, it's because I have read the Swedish translation of the book..This is a book to discover yourself in, or to accept and respect yourself for who you are!

Excellent book

I could not put this book down, and did not want it to end. I had seen Rosemary Altea on a talk show and was throughly intrigued by her. I do feel that there are a lot of "fakes" out there, but strongly feel that she is not one of them. I'm so glad that I decided to read this book and would highly recommend it to everyone who has lost a loved one. It gave me great comfort and also forced me to take a good look at myself and how I treat others. My favorite part of the book were the questions to Grey Eagle (in both this book and in Proud Spirit). I really hope she writes a Book of Questions someday. His answers confirmed the beliefs I've always had, which made me feel I'm on the right track. I look forward to reading more of her books.

READ THIS BOOK IN A DAY!

This book has given me hope. I guess you could describe me as a sceptic, but a curious one. I am the sort of person that requires physical proof for mediumship or psycic powers of any sort...I have to say, that although I am still waiting for the real 'physical' proof in my world, Rosemary Altea has done the best job so far of convincing me by words. The stories she tells are extremely interesting and her life story is incredible. She has a truely wonderful gift and I do not doubt her accounts whatsoever.I am not a very good book reader, I find it difficult to get into books and rarely read. Having said that, I had this book finished in ONE DAY. I couldn't put it down. I hightly recommend this book to anyone searching to educate themselves in regard to spirituality. A very very interesting book.

A MUST TO READ

I enjoyed reading Rosemary Altea's book "The Eagle and the Rose - thank you for opening up your heart and sharing so openly with your readers. I compare your book to Jenny Crawford's book "Through the Eyes of Spirit." God Bless you in your work. Barbara

Best explanation of the cycle of life force I have ever read

I read this book after too many deaths in my life, some from cancer, some from aids and one from suicide. Rosemary Altea speaks from the heart and soul, and at first, like most of us, was not willing to recieve so many valuable tools in such an unorthodox manner. Bless her soul for writing this book! Well written, spellbinding, filled with a sense of wonder, deep spirituality, and love for all of humanity. I particularly enjoy her first person accounts and the way in which she walks you through her own skepticism and finally, affirmation that what happened, truly happened. Great tool for interpreting your own spirituality. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
