The Romeo Error: A Matter of Life and Death"'The only thing that makes death distinct from all other diseases and disorders is that everybody gets it,' writes Lyall Watson. Here he presents an intriguing and completely original look at our ideas of and our knowledge about that inescapable phenomenon, which, he suggests, may be only the beginning of a far more fantastic existence than what we call life. Combining fifteen years scientific research with his own theories and experiences, Watson discusses all that is known about the biology of life, and therefore of death. He explores the very real problem of deciding when death actually occurs, and considers our psychological and social attitudes toward death to show how we are programmed from childhood not to look beyond it. But death may in no way be final, he speculates, describing the many varieties of reincarnation, the activities of spiritualists, and both out-of-the-body and other-body experiences as manifestations of another realm of being. Focusing on these extraordinary happenings, The Romeo Error leaves little doubt that there is far more to both life and death than we are able to comprehend by the poor evidence of our five senses - that in fact the two may be indistinguishable, with what we call death merely a change of state, often temporary and sometimes even curable."--front and back flaps. |
