Infos

What will be my situation immediately after death? Does my individual consciousness continue? Is immortality a myth? In this remarkable volume, James Scudday Perkins proposes answers to these and other questions concerning the pilgrimage of the soul through the cycles of death and rebirth. Placing the entire process in perspective, he presents a unique interpretation of the age-old concept of reincarnation. He perceives the stages between death and rebirth as a definite and purposeful part of the whole cyclic pattern of growth, moving irresistibly toward an "e;awakened awareness of living immortality now."e;Reincarnation is a subject of intimate personal concern to every individual, as well as one of highly philosophic content. The majority of the world's people accept it in some form, and recent years have seen a dramatic upsurge of interest in the concept, particularly in the West. To the average person, seeking an answer to discouragements and a sense of failure, it often comes as a blinding light, bringing the awareness that no failure is final, that there is endless opportunity to become what one aspires to be.James Scudday Perkins is a professional illustrator and designer, and in this book he combines his artistic and literary abilities with telling effect. Much of his life has been dedicated to the work of The Theosophical Society; he served for fifteen years as National President of the Society in the United States and, more recently, as International Vice-President at the Society's headquarters in Madras, India. He is now resident in Australia. In addition to the present work, Mr. Perkins is the author of A Geometry of Space and Consciousness, an exploration into the nature of reality.
