Review of Dolores Cannon’s: "Between Death and Life"
Oct 29, 2021 09:31AM ● By Marilyn Jenquin
Reading the title of this book, you may think I’ve accidentally reversed
the words—that it
should be Between Life and Death. No, it’s correct—Between Death and
Life. Delores Cannon worked for
45 years doing
hypnotic research
and past-life therapy with hundreds of patients. She recorded sessions and
wrote them in this book just as they occurred.
Cannon has
written at least 17 other books, and as I learned while visiting England, the
Brits just love her. Her writing style is very reader-friendly.
On the book’s
back cover, Cannon lists some of the topics contained, including the death
experience, different levels of existence in the spirit realm, guides and
guardian angels, the existence of heaven and hell, ghosts and poltergeists,
planning your present lifetime and karmic relationships before birth,
perceptions of God and the dead, the significance of “bad” lifetimes, the
various councils and their influence on humankind and the universe, and
walk-ins. She also covers Akashic records.
If you’re like
most people that choose to study mediumship and life after death, you have lots
of questions. This book answers most of the questions I’ve been asked during my
20ish years of teaching. The biggest question it helps to answer is that … yes,
we live more than once—different bodies and different experiences, but more
than once. We possibly even live several hundred lives; each with a purpose and
a specific learning goal.
In the book,
Cannon tells us that we should think of a student in college that studies
chemistry. When they finish their studies, they have acquired book learning but
not an actual hands-on understanding of the subject. And this is why we
incarnate so many times—for the hands-on experiences, so we can fully “get” the
concepts and grow into the higher levels in the spirit realm.
If this book is
your first introduction to life in the spirit realm, it may seem hard to
believe, as it likely will be so different from what you have “normally” been
taught. But consider it. It’s a lovely future—one with hope and joy and love to
look forward to.
