Book I'm Reading on the Afterlife [View all]
Been reading this on my Nook the last few nights. I wanted to mention it because it's a little different than what some books and after-death contact experiences report.
The name of the book is The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death by Annie Kagan.
The author is a musician and Billy Fingers is her brother. The odd name "Fingers" is because he once had a job as a masseuse and was apparently very good at it.
She is also a former chiropractor who got a divorce and moved to Long Island to pursue her music interests and live with her cat.
Annie was the younger of the two and was the "good girl" while her brother was the "bad boy." Her brother was into drugs and died as a result of that lifestyle.
The afterlife contact is pretty simple: He just talks to her and tells her what it is like. Here are some quotes. This one was interesting to me because I decided to live my life so I'd be happy. That's what my life is all about. If it doesn't make me happy, I try to limit my exposure to it, so it was interesting to me that Billy Fingers tells Annie that happiness is not really so important.
And here's another secret for you, my sister. There is no right way for things to turn out. Some endings are happier, some not so happy, but it's not just the happiness percentage that matters. It's the music of it. Most people's lives don't have enough music. I was lucky; my life was a rock opera.
In another part of the book, he says we're here as an experiment (our own experiment that we concoct before we incarnate). So far, he doesn't go into the experiment much, as he says it would be hard to understand.
Ther's more, but its getting late. I'll add more tomorrow.
