Quite Interesting!

For several years now, I've been reading as many books on spiritual topics as I can find - I just can't seem to get enough. One of my interests is in the topic of the afterlife, and I love to read books about what the spirits on the "other side" have to say about where they are now. Although there is no way to prove that what is written in these books is actually true, I believe that each of these types of books provide at least a grain of truth. Kind of like the blind trying to describe an elephant - What you "see" or believe as truth is directly related to "where you're standing" at that time. This particular book describes many aspects of life on the other side, according to the spirits who communicate with Anthony Borgia. It goes into quite a lot of detail - even about things that would seem mundane to us. But, I think that's why I like this book - it doesn't just focus on the "big picture", it gets into the "nitty gritty" of life after death. The picture painted is a beautiful one, and I can only hope that Heaven really is as it's described here. However, it's explained that not everyone goes to the same level, so we may not all experience the same things - it depends on: where we're at spiritually, what our beliefs are (it appears that, to at least some extent, we get what we believe - at least at the beginning), and the type of life we lived here on earth. I definitely "felt" a ring of truth while reading this book - something that does not happen with every book I read on this topic. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in spirituality & ideas on the after-life - but, bring an open mind!

Anthony Borgia knows the Truth

The author of these wonderful books has utilized his talents to the utmost in describing life truly as it is on the Other Side. I am grateful that the books have been reprinted and will continue to be reprinted. There is much information that can be gleaned by the reader, and much good that can come from these writings. One must read these books to understand much about living life.

Simple and sincere, warm and heartfelt.

"The Church has made the hereafter into a place of mystery, and the whole subject of a future state has been wrapped round in a mantle of religiosity, until people have come to look upon it with fear, with awe, with scepticism, with ridicule, with horror..." So reads part of the introduction by Anthony Borgia, the `scribe' to The Late Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson. Dictated in 1957 (the author died in 1914) by means of clairaudience (and independently verified by twice-weekly circle-sittings with a non-professional trance medium,) `Monsignor' has in this book (along with its predecessors, `Life in the World Unseen' and `More about Life in the World Unseen') shown that the life he now leads is both natural and unquestionably healthy! At the beginning of the first chapter, `THE THRESHOLD', Monsignor raises within us important questions regarding the Churches attitude towards a future state; born out of fear of the unknown (for The Bible tells us little, if nothing, about what we will find in `Heaven'), with the prospect of finding oneself before some dreadful, stern God, who will decide if you are to be accepted into `Heaven' or sent down to `Hell' for all eternity - little thought, however, being given to the fact that death is but a natural phenomenon, happening to all, religious or not. From the start, Monsignor addresses these and other profound questions with both humour and compassion, in straight forward language that all can understand, with no pre-acquaintance with Spiritualism being necessary. We are told how each of us go to our SELF APPOINTED PLACE. The whole notion of a `Judgement Day' is shown to be childish and merely a weapon, used by the Church throughout the centuries, to scare good people into believing as they do - OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES! In the second chapter, `THE SPIRIT WORLD', Monsignor speaks of the Spirit World proper, and, in effect, takes us on a `guided tour' of the countless beauties that await us all - free to enjoy, without condition. Mention is made of the architecture, and of the superbly beautiful materials that the buildings are composed; the private dwellings that dot the landscape, giving the impression of being one immense park-land, with no territorial boundaries. (overcrowding is unheard of, despite the countless millions of inhabitants.) One of the most surprising things to be read is the fact that churches, of all denominations, exist in the Spirit World. Monsignor explains, that, as the members of the congregation look around themselves, and see what they regard to be `Heaven' - brought about by their great faith - what better way to give thanks to God but to build a church to his glory? (and hope for his continued benevolence.) Monsignor explains, however, that those who live in this `home-made' Heaven are strictly confined to themselves, with no prospect of converting others, and that for as long as they stay within their constricted Heaven, so will their spiritual progression be at a standstill.
