Description
Book SynopsisWhat happens when we die? And what happens to those of us who are propelled into the strange reality of a near death experience? How do we re-integrate into the world when our understanding of reality has been turned upside-down? A Benevolent Virus follows the intertwining stories of two NDE survivors who struggle to make sense of their lives in the wake of an NDE. Ann Richards, a successful television reporter is faced with the breakdown of her marriage and her career as she struggles to get to the truth of her experience. Daniel Breton, an ex-Marine who was near-fatally injured in Fallujah, tries to find meaning in his NDE by recording the stories of others who have had similar experiences. Both Ann and Daniel are set on a spiritual adventure that forces them each to explore ideas of consciousness and the quantum universe that challenge their old worldview.
Trade Review"A Benevolent Virus is a collection of poignant and gripping stories about spirituality and near-death experiences. The author speaks of the soul, post traumatic stress disorder and post traumatic growth, current psychiatric notions of spiritual or numinous experiences, using her accumulated knowledge and wisdom from multiple philosophical traditions to define a path of spiritual freedom and enlightenment. I had read many books earlier on the topic of NDE, but this one I could not put down until the last page of the fiction. This is essential reading and I recommend to anyone interested in spiritual growth."(Ebrahim Amanat, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry at USC, and author of Suffering and Spiritual Growth)
