A Magnificent Death

Book Review

Dying To Be Me by Anita Moorjani

  I will admit that I have a slight obsession with death. I don’t feel it’s necessarily unhealthy and at times I’m sure we’ve all thought about it. It is inevitable after all. Having recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor I think more about what comes after the body fails.

  It’s not so much that I feel scared of what comes after. Ok, I will admit to a bit frightened. More, it’s where does my soul go? What is on the other side? Is there a heaven? Is there a God? What does God look and feel like. 

  I don’t believe as I did as a child that it’s a large man with long curly hair sitting on a large throne. Though, as a seven year old I remember lying in bed after saying my prayers and thinking about angels. I wanted to go live with them in heaven, hear their melodious harp music and frolic in the clouds. My belief now and for several years is that we are all energy and we connect to this energy collection when we die. I do believe I will see my loved ones on the other side. I imagine but am not certain about reincarnation, coming back, etc. I leave that open at this point.

  I've read several books about NDE ( near death experience.) When I recently read Dying To Be Me by Anita Moorjani I felt like something clicked in my heart and my head.  Ms. Moorjani was at the end of her life after suffering with cancer for many years. She went into the hospital and was in a coma for 4 days. Her doctors told her family her organs were shutting down and to expect her death.

  What Anita experienced while in the coma is amazing. In wonderful detail she explains her experience, seeing her passed loved ones, the energy of the universe and her own innate nature of love and self-acceptance that she neglected before her NDE. She can see as others have, her doctors, and family at her bedside and even knows sees that her brother is flying from India to be by her bedside. She explains in detail the feelings of love and magnificence of her own being and how she is connected to Universal Energy which is the God energy of us all. She understands through this experience that she is all she needs to be. Not what others think of her, not what education she has, not what she owns, but how she thinks that manifest the person she is meant to be. She feels we all need to claim our magesty just as we are. Sounds simple right? Perhaps it really is.

  Moorjani miraculously survives, completely recovers and is now cancer free. She came back from her NDE with feelings of boundless love for not only others but most importantly for herself. And with that love she lives a life of happiness and inner freedom, sharing this adventure with us all.

  Tap into my magnificence? I’m going to give it a try. I want a life with no regrets. I want happiness and joy and live my life to the fullest. For me it’s our experience, relationships and love that make us who we are. I do plan on seeing the Angels in that Universal Energy on the other side. We have some frolicking to do!
