Born to Live
About this book
I t is a great privilege and delight for me as well as an honor and a challenge to write a foreword to this book on birth, death, life, beginnings and endings. It is probably one of the first books of the New Age written by a physician with a life-long experience in beginnings and ending. She is herself a remarkable woman who has shown an incredible sensitivity, openness and awareness, which comes only through personal growth, endless observation and an open mind, a searching for the truth and a willingness to step out of the ordinary paths to find new questions and new answers. I have known Gladys McGarey for thirty years. Since I have specialized in the ending of the physical existence and she has become an expert in the beginnings of this physical life, we formed an immediate affinity to each other and discovered that both of us, although in a different language perhaps, talked about the same experiences. Since birth is a transition from the spiritual existence to the physical world, so is death a step out of the physical world and a re-entry into the spiritual realm of which we are just beginning to know more and more. This book begins with an explanation of our inability to have any recall whence we came and describes it in a form of an angel of forgetfulness, who gently touches us the moment we decide to begin life again. And life naturally begins when the soul, the entity, enters the physical body to start a new existence in the physical world. We are here to grow, to learn, to have all the positive experiences that the physical world can offer. And when we have passed all the tests, we are allowed to graduate and return back to our original home.
