A Trip to the Stars

About the Book

This book is a collection of my thoughts and experiences. It is primarily based on a so-called 'Life-After-Death Report' or 'Awakening Report'.

I was always told that Religion and Politics were difficult subjects in mixed company. Here we are, you and me, a mixed company. I want to say right up front that my concepts and ideas are not everyman's. We will differ and that is good too. I do not desire to change your ideas and concepts, my desire is to tell of my thoughts. A peaceful life together can exist when we understand how the other person thinks. Primarily I attempt to form my thoughts and words in a manner which will be easily understood by those who originate, as I do, from a society based upon so-called Western Culture and Christian ideas. My ideas are not restricted to this framework so I must modify them and present them in a manner more easily understood by the reader. Please note: my use of words such as inner-nature, God, One-Truth, Gate-Keeper, etc. are in themselves meaningless and can be substituted as you will with the appropriate terms to fit your situation. In fact, all of my words are meaningless; a theme which will be explained in detail during the reading.

Seek your own way. Good Luck. Bon Voyage.

Best wishes... Melvin
