The Odyssey of the Soul

By Artemus Lamb

Book Overview

Our soul comes into being at the moment of conception and begins an eternal journey throughout the worlds of God.

Where are we going? When will we arrive at our destination? What will it be like? What experiences will happen to us on the way? What possible perils will we encounter on our road and what can we do to avoid them or, at least, soften them? What preparations can we make for our journey?

Drawing on the literature of the Bah?'? Faith, Artemus Lamb directly answers these age-old questions simply and directly. He charts the progress of the soul from its birth, through the physical world and to the end of its odyssey in the world of the spirit, looking particularly at:

the nature of the soulthe value of prayer and meditationthe purpose of hardships and testsdreams as a proof of immortality

journey of the soul

As the title suggests, this book is about the odyssey - or the journey - of the soul, as perceived from a Baha'i point of view. The author follows the journey of the soul from birth (associated with conception) into this material world of existence, until its passing into the spiritual worlds of God. In this world, free-will plays a major part and human beings are faced constantly with having to make decisions which affect their own lives and those of all with whom they come in contact.This little book describes how the soul can come to know its Creator through the sacred books of all the world's religions but that it is by recognizing and accepting the Messenger of God for the age in which we live that the soul grows and copes with life's challenges and moral dilemmas - partaking in wonderful spiritual experiences - and fulfilling its destiny.A beautiful little book, full of wonderful quotations from the Baha'i holy writings which relate to the purpose of life. It is definitely one of my favourites.
