Product Description
Deepak Chopra has touched millions of readers by demystifying our deepest spiritual concerns while retaining their poetry and wonder. Now he turns to the most profound mystery: What happens after we die? Is this one question we were not meant to answer, a riddle whose solution the universe keeps to itself? Chopra tells us there is abundant evidence that “the world beyond” is not separated from this world by an impassable wall; in fact, a single reality embraces all worlds, all times and places. At the end of our lives we “cross over” into a new phase of the same soul journey we are on right this minute.
In Life After Death, Chopra draws on cutting-edge scientific discoveries and the great wisdom traditions to provide a map of the afterlife. It’s a fascinating journey into many levels of consciousness. But far more important is his urgent message: Who you meet in the afterlife and what you experience there reflect your present beliefs, expectations, and level of awareness. In the here and now you can shape what happens after you die.
By bringing the afterlife into the present moment, Life After Death opens up an immense new area of creativity. Ultimately there is no division between life and death—there is only one continuous creative project. Chopra invites us to become cocreators in this subtle realm, and as we come to understand the one reality, we shed our irrational fears and step into a numinous sense of wonder and personal power.

I was disappointed in this book - I much prefer the "Journey of the souls" by Michael Newton.
 One of those books that can and will change your life April 6, 2010

A comment about Deepak Chopra's book, "Life After Death" March 12, 2010
Raymond J. Jerome (USA)
Deepak Chopra has again written a wonderful commentary about life after death. Instead of the term "Life," however, I would prefer to use the term "Existence After Death." To understand death and the possibility of an existence after death, one first needs to fully understand "Life," in its broadest definition. This entire matter universe, including our own physical body, is actually an "Illusion," created with each individual's brain/mind, of infinite, constantly interchanging and interconnected energy patterns. There is not really such thing as "solid" matter, at its basic lever of construction, and separation. The concept of "solid matter" is created, by the "observer mechanism" within our brain/minds, forming images from electro-chemical transmission from our sense mechanisms to our brain/minds. The self-created "Ego" of each of our psyches creates and maintains the Illusion of "Separateness." However, all that truly exist are constantly interchanging and interconnected energy patterns produced by "Universal Mind, or Consciousness." When one fully comprehends that the only thing that constructs what we consider to be our matter universe, is the Mind Energy from our "Creative Source," producing sub-atomic particles (packets of vibrating energy and space) that then produce our matter universe, then there is no such thing as "energy" actually living or dying; but only the existence of what we call an "aware soul," within each energy pattern that we consider to be a human being, that merely returns to it Creative Source as an "aware consciousness" and once again becomes a part of the Creative Source.

 Entirely Intellectually Dishonest March 2, 2010

1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Throughout the first 3 cd's I was interested in the story about the girl, the monk and death and that carried me through. I was more interested in that then everything else. When I got to the fourth cd Mr Chopra begins taking elements of physics and running with them making these wild unfounded assertions. Small elements were intriguing such as we are all part of the same consciousness, and the vibrations of consciousness, but he asserts things that are patently untrue about neuroscience, learning, etc. Deepak Chopra's argument is akin to the puddle remarking how the pothole seems perfectly designed just for him and so must be by design. He ignores the reality that he is assigning intent where none is evident. His grasp of physics is enough for me to believe that he is willfully ignoring what is so, if not then he must be the most intelligent idiot I've ever met. He's entirely intellectually dishonest, don't lend him any money!
A delightful read, the entire book February 9, 2010

I confess to being a Chopra fan. It is hard to keep up with everything he writes, but I think I have read, and then listened to all but a few. This one is my next to favorite. Anyone interested at all in not just life after death but the human journey from birth to eternity should give it a chance. I loved this book, and I gave 3 copies of it to family/friends and 4 copies of it on CD to my daughter, my stepdaughter, you get the picture, I liked it a lot. Every single person I gave the book to, with the exception of one, said it was the best book they had ever read, and began buying copies for their friends. I followed up on some of the negative feedback in these reviews because I just wanted to see how anyone could not give it at least 4 stars, and I discovered that this book did not fit well with the other types of literature they generally read in most cases, so the fact they were persuaded to read it at all was more surprising than there negative comments. The only Chopra book I give a higher rating than this one is Book of Secrets. My favorite book - period, by anyone. I also give high marks to "How to know God," The Third Jesus, The Christ we cannot ignore, and Jesus-A Story of Enlightenment. I often tell people that I think it quite astonishing that as a person who has studied and read extensively over the last 30 years about religion and historical religious figures, I must confess to learning more, or certainly more that is relevant, about Jesus from a man born in India than any other religious author. I personally loved what he did with the book in entertaining us with the story of Sevitra, which redeems the book from becoming just another flat, clinical life after death opinion journal full of antidotal accounts. As a rule, I often find books written by physicians to be badly written. Not their fault really. I think medical school does it. My husband was a physician, and he aspired to write. He had an incredible vocabulary, and could tell a good story, but his writing was pretty flat. Chopra is definitely the exception to this rule. Lucky for him, he need not worry about any of the negative opinions or bad reviews, there are so many of us out here to offset those. I would recommend for those considering a Chopra read for the first time that you pick up something like The Dancing Wu Li Masters, a layman's delight for learning a little elementary quantum physics, and if you don't find that an enjoyable experience, just go back to whatever type of literature you were reading because you won't have the proper appetite for Deepak Chopra.
To wrap this up, I will drop the proverbial cherry on top here. I personally think Deepak Chopra is an extraordinary writer. I don't think that will be totally plainly understood by some, so I will say it a different way. Ever so often down through the ages, we, the people-humanity are given a gift in the form of a teacher, or educator, a spokesperson if you will, that seems to be plugged in to that higher plain, and at the same time, blessed with the gift of oratory and the outstanding ability to communicate with words. They can't seem to stop the information that flows through them, it pours through with the force of an ocean, and we the readers, the listeners, are fortunate enough to receive the messages they bring. This says nothing at all about who he is personally. I cannot speak of that of which I do not know, of who the man is in his heart, whether he is the decent soul I would like to think he is, or an arrogant egotistical cad. I am clueless. What I do know is we are so fortunate to have him, he has my personal thanks for all of the countless hours of enjoyment I have derived from his words, and the growth I feel I have attained from them. Blessings to all-no exceptions.

Vitamin Supplements
There are a number of essential vitamins
that the body needs to function properly and it is possible to take
these in the form for vitamin supplement. The majority of people do not
have a balanced diet and they may be lacking in certain vitamins which
means that they require a vitamin supplement to ensure that they do not
have a deficiency of an essential vitamin. A health professional or
dietary technician is the best person to give advice on any vitamin
supplement that a person should take. It is important to seek
professional advice before taking any vitamin supplement. This is
because there are some vitamins that can be toxic if too much is
consumed and a vitamin supplement may not be appropriate if there is
enough of the vitamin already in the food a person eats.
Some categories of people may require more types of vitamin supplement
than others. Vegetarians are often deficient in certain vitamins that
are only found in animal products, for example, and a vitamin supplement
is the ideal solution to this problem. Vegetarians do need to be aware
that some vitamin supplement manufacturing processes involve animal
products and it is important for them to read the labels. A large number
of synthetic vitamin supplement products are available which will enable
a vegetarian to take them without contravening their dietary beliefs or
needs.

Children will often need a vitamin supplement, especially when they are
extremely young. This is because a lot of children do not eat a
sufficient variety of foods in their early years and a vitamin
supplement can help compensate for this natural deficiency. Breast
feeding has long been recommended as a source of all the essential
nutrients but women who choose not to or are unable to bottle feed may
be concerned as to whether their baby needs a vitamin supplement. The
large majority of baby milk formulas contain additional vitamins to
prevent the need for a vitamin supplement to be given. It is important
to discuss any concerns over the need for a baby or child to take a
vitamin supplement with a health professional to ensure that the correct
solution is found.
Elderly people or those suffering from certain diseases or illnesses are
other groups of people that may need to take a vitamin supplement. The
body may often need a vitamin
supplement to compensate for a person not
being able to consume the recommended daily allowance of certain
vitamins through their normal diet.
