Summary: learn to die daily
Review: Dr. Jonn Mumford has done it again. He has taken the mystery and complexity out of the eastern teachings and offers it in a simple concise manner that westerners can appreciate. This is the only book that offers readers a graded system of meditation for living in the here and now. Readers who are fortunate enough to be lead towards Dr. mumfors books are in for a real treat. He is a born teacher and derives his formal training from both eatern yogic schools as well as the western mystic orders. This book is sure to please both the neophyte seeker as well as those advanced in their search for truth. The book also contains the best collection of memorial quotes of comfort, courtesy of the Theosophical Society in Australia. An easy to read literary gem. Five stars.

Summary: Insightful
Review: I read the book. I did the exercises. I tried to practice the meditation, but ended up supplementing it with one from a another one of his books. I can say that I now have a new perspective of death being a new level, as opposed to the end. I enjoyed the book and its contents, as with all Mumford books. He gives you unbiased, straight foward information in a practical manner.

Summary: feeling at ease in life and in death
Review: Reading Dr. Jonn Mumford books, is always an experience of feeling at ease. Whatever the subject is, Dr. Mumforsd makes it easy, but not only, he gives you the sensation of it. His book, Death: Begining or End, brings original explanations and marvelous meditation method. I would like to share a little story with you: a true story about a woman in her sixtyes . Her husband, one night left her: he sneaked away, silently and so fast that the woman only realised it early in the morning . Her husband was not there anymore, but he had left a stiff and cold body; he had had an heart attack. A very sad, but a very important event of life. A funeral had to be organised, and a grave had to be chosen. The woman had to face it, she had to cope with her husband Death. A very strange shop; it was just beside the cemetery, but it looked like another cemetery, and in fact it was a fake cemetery; was a graves shop. The fresh widow was confused, for the first time, after very many years, she had to take a decision with out her husband. In the fake cemetery a young fleshy lady of round shapes, wearing a very short skirt , was helping the new widow to chose the grave for the body of her dead husband. "...hem! Would you like, in the future, to lye down beside your husband?" asked the young lady, with learned pragmatism. The widow answered <Yes, I do>, "...well, " said the young lady, "... when we have to take an important decision for something that its certain than, an investment is worth while. We always think about the future, the future, but... what is an investment that stays here, that does not leave and last for the future?" (The widow bought a family grave.) Human beings have life to make use of it, they have an End but life goes on Begining, all the time. We carry a genetic combination, that has to be left, when Death comes. Lucrezio, the latin poet ( 98-55 BC), wrote : < Life-birth renews / from one thing to another/ and to no one life/ is given as a property/ but to everyone it is given to make use use of it My friend Dr. Fausto Colombo, from Milano, has a comment about the book, Death: Begining or End : <Please, enjoy your death, before you die, because if this is your last incarnation...this is also your last death!>
