Written by Elmer Green, an eminent scientist, one of the originators of biofeedback, this remarkable book details the story of his wife, Alyce's, journey through Alzheimer's Disease. In the last few months of her life, when she was physically totally incapacitated, she would channel her own spirit, describing to Elmer her journey through spirit realms and the lessons she was learning. Elmer shares these teachings and details his understanding of the afterworld and our relationship to it.

Elmer read to Alyce about the bardo and about the SOUL. In this way he drew her attention back to the physical world after she had deteriorated into an Alz state where she could no longer speak coherently.

. . . as a SOUL she was able to manipulate the etheric-energy structure of her physical body and make it speak with perfect diction and syntax, supposedly without the mediation of the brain and nervous system. . . (p.4)

. . . this book is not about religion or philosophy, or psychology, metaphysics, or scientific speculation – even though it bears on all of them. It is rather, from my point of view, an experientially-based description of body and soul and bardo, and SOUL and Heaven. And I can assure you, knowledge of bardo and Heaven always comes to those who make an effort to find out through reading, meditating, or theta brainwave training WHEN – and this is a crucial condition – one's approach to the SOUL is coupled with invocation.

Invocation, as here used, means asking the SOUL to help the personality "become conscious" by implementing both experience and understanding in our life. Experience PLUS understanding lead to knowing, which is considerably different from emotion-based hoping, believing, or having faith . . . and far more satisfying than mental-based hypothesizing, as pounded into the head of graduate-school students. (p. xvii)

. . . Alzpers [persons with Alzheimer's] have a huge advantage over average dying people. The Alzper goes out so slowly, often taking many years, like Alyce, that they can become conscious of the Light of the SOUL – and merge with it before the body dies. (p. 4)

Elmer presents 17 propositions to explain what life is about: An incarnation of soul, an aspect of the eternal SOUL into the physical world for various lessons. These lessons are continued in the bardo, an intermediate place between heaven and earth. Ultimately, the soul reunites with SOUL / Creator.

This is a very personal sharing of a lifetime of studies. It includes fascinating, intimate reports of Elmer's dreams and visions that were guideposts and lessons along his path of learning and understanding. Highly recommended to anyone interested in deeper understanding of Alzheimer's, of life, and of SOUL.

So what's "Ozawkie?" you might ask. . . Ozawkie is where Elmer lives.
