To Heaven and Back, by Dr. Mary C. Neal, MD
I sympathize with Dr. Neal, I read some of the reviews so I could see if it was troublesome to some reviewers. It is difficult to write about a miraculous happening, because it is often looked at as an untrue account, or an account that leaves suspicion, as some of the reviews indicate. People find it hard to believe that something like this could happen to another person.
I cried for three days, before I was able to deal with the miraculous event in my life. I too, chose to only talk about it first with family and close friends, then like Dr. Neal felt compelled to write about it. However, I did not have the courage to write about it in a true story, so I buried it in my first novel. I too experienced the click of a shutter, a special light and a sense of being out of time when the miracle occurred.
It had to be difficult for Dr. Neal a doctor to risk her reputation. She was clear in stating that she was not that religious and she was also clear in her commitment to science. I too felt that the liberal slant that came up was not necessary to the story, however, it was and is part of her life.
The important value of this book is that it happened to her, just as it happened to me, and in my case, I had the adventure in a miracle at my Mother's bedside, with a Catholic Nun. All three of us participated in the miracle. So, I speak with a strong voice that I believe Dr. Neal and know that she would not risk her reputation to print a book about something that is not true, to her life.
After something like this happens to you, you automatically know that the voice inside you that told you since a child, that there was more to life than you could see, is the true voice. You do not need to speak for a specific religion, or a specific environmental or political belief, the message is clearly LOVE, as she sees it and as I see it from my experience. If we all know that is the message, we will act appropriately as the thread in the tapestry acts to hold the hologram together. In my case I have come to the belief that light is what contributes to the play we are acting out in matter, all for the growth of LOVE , in our everlasting souls. I appreciated the similarity of light, the click sound and the feeling of knowing LOVE to be the most important. This book could help so many people recognize that their time on earth, each way, in every day, is critical to their personal growth. I highly recommend this book for friends, relatives and neighbors that need a step up the ladder of life.
