William Buhlman is an insightist who speaks from authenticity. His book Adventures in the Afterlife is a basic course in transformation 101, speaking to the seasoned investigators of the non-physical world as well as those who merely want to improve their life from simply a psychological viewpoint. Yes, the book is a narrative of one man's experience after death, but if the skeptic who is uncomfortable with this premise would take the book as merely a metaphor, or as Samuel Coleridge would encourage us, to entertain the willing suspension of disbelief, then I submit that this book will reward you with an extremely valuable fundamental understanding of our own thoughts, how thoughts shape the world we live in and how we can control and manage those thoughts on a very basic and pragmatic level.
The book explains the concepts in detail of how thoughts are a result of our creative prerogative...in other words, we were meant to create realities with our mind that would lead us to the highest and best truth, but somehow along the way, we become impatient, or we become a victim of our own vices and we start creating worlds that are "lesser than" and that's where our problems begin. If we are not in pursuit of positve change of our reality, we revert to default mode, or let negativity seep into our lives. We find ourselves creating problems of our own making and becoming stuck in our own dramas or becoming addicted to the entertainment of solving our problems.
The protagonist in the narrative, Frank, experiences specific instruction from various teachers and is shown first-hand illustrations of specific individuals who "chose" to limit themselves in their own confined world of wheel-spinning and stagnation...as an excuse to postpone their journey of transformation growth and elevation of consciousness. Instead of using their creative energy to grow, they use their creative energy to create little detours. And who is there who can't relate to these sabotage schemes our mind can come up with? We are all familiar with how our mind can work against our best interest. This book gives the reader an understanding of the concepts behind all this drama we create and gives specific action plans to move away from our destructive thinking and personal prisonhouses and get about the business of doing what we were meant to do: move forward.
Here are some quotes from the book:
The ideas here give the reader a hopeful spin on the whole existence experience in that there is no real end with death...it is merely a continuation of our thoughts and constructs that we have created. As Buhlman states, "The universe is thought-responsive".
The rhetorical style of Buhlman is simple, direct and practical, and yet somehow poetic in its eloquence. Get past the first fifty pages or so of this 248 page journey and you are hooked on a hunger to learn more and more.
Well done, William B.
Later, Homies!
