Adventures of The Soul by James Van Praagh; reviewed by Saran Lamba
I am one of those who at any given time has atleast 4 children and a dog making ruckus in my house, so needless to say I am a master at tuning out and doing all sorts of mindless reading. So when I came across this book, Adventures of the Soul by James Van Praagh, the first thought that came to my mind was, Well! I’m never going to be able to get enough peace to concentrate on this book. Nevertheless, I decided to download a sample and give it a try, and believe me, I couldn’t put it down till I finished the whole book.
Having read a few books discussing the soul and its origin, I feel the essence in most of them is the same. They all tell us about our soul groups and how the mere thought affects not only our lives, but of those around us. This book also talks about the same thing, but the way it is written is very very different. It’s as if you are having a one on one conversation with the author himself and the little examples/ anecdotes given, help in understanding.
The author describes himself as a clairvoyant and a spiritual medium and has written a number of books on the same theme.
In this book he has tried to explain the real purpose of our being and how we can achieve it. One of my most favourite quotes is, that the soul is like flowing water which pools and forms a lake sometimes ( like us being in our present physical dimension) and then starts to flow again, may or may not form a lake but continues to flow till it reaches the source i.e the ocean in this case and the eternal spirit in ours.
Though it is a short book, he covers almost all the topics ranging from death and reincarnation, to how we can live mindfully. The best part is that he does not force you to believe anything and everything, if it does not resonate with you. He goes ahead and states, that if what he says doesn’t ring true to you, you should try something else that does. I love the way he says, we can either react with love or fear, and that like attracts like.
I highly recommend this book to someone who is looking for the purpose in their life or wants to know more about their soul and spirits.
Saran is a mother of 2 children and a dog and when not being after their life, she tries to read anything that holds my interest, ranging from mystery to spirituality.
