The Illusion of Life and Death
“The Illusion of Life and Death will help any reader to move towards freedom from fear of death. Coming from a Christian background, Clare’s search about the meaning of life led her to the timeless Eastern teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism. She has also discovered deep parallel insights in the teachings of the Christ and of Jewish mystics. Highly recommended.” ~Ravi Ravindra, author of The Bhagavad Gita: A Guide to Navigating the Battle of Life
Book Spotlight – The Illusion of Life and Death: Mind, Consciousness, and Eternal Being
After helping her significant other, Brent, go through eighteen months of living with, and eventually dying from esophageal cancer, Clare Goldsberry wanted to share not only his story of fearless living and graceful dying, but also include the broader picture of helping people understand what having a good death means: a death without fear of the unknown — to trust the path of passing — which makes living so much more enjoyable. As a Hospice volunteer for two years after Brent’s death, she became acutely aware of just how important it is for the dying person, and the person’s family and friends to understand living and dying.
In The Illusion of Life and Death: Mind, Consciousness, and Eternal Being, Clare shares the wisdom and knowledge of the ancient sages, spiritual teachers, philosophers, and quantum physicists, as she walks us through the mystery of death and dying. Drawing from her insights as a Buddhist practitioner, her studies of Christianity, Ageless Wisdom, Hinduism, and her partner’s cancer journey, she provides a profound view of living and dying as seen through the ages by those who have sought answers regarding the most mysterious aspect of life—this thing we call death.
We have a lot to learn from death: When we learn that our fears are created by our minds through our thoughts and perceptions, we become liberated from that which keeps us fearful, especially fear of death. This perspective leads us to a freer and more enlightened way of living and learning to be with what is, rather than what might be. This is how we live in the present moment.
What’s the best gift we can give someone who is dying? Helping our loved ones have a good death and allowing them to experience the release of their body quietly and peacefully is truly the best gift we can offer them. Goldsberry helps readers understand, “The end of this lifetime is as important and miraculous as the beginning. It truly a time to celebrate the life—and the death—of the person.”
“How we approach death can greatly affect how we live. Some of the most important lessons in life are about overcoming the fear of death, accepting the inevitability of it, and evolving how you think about it. Let The Illusion of Life and Death be your guide on the journey.”
~ Brenda Knight, author of Random Acts of Kindness: 365 Days of Good Deeds, Inspired Ideas and Acts of Goodness
