This book is for the open-minded reader who is interested in some new thinking about two related and very old subjects: Reincarnation and Karma. Mr. Mather-Lees brings together ancient and modern teachings in a way that is easy to understand and which makes sense in terms of our own life experiences. Also new in the light of recent discoveries of the teeming life all over our Milky Way galaxy, he felt it important to include all sentient life in the scheme of things, since it is now clear that life all over the Universe is engaged in the upward climb. He also acknowledges the role of the dark side in the process.
