Product Description

John Lerma's best-selling book, Into the Light, inspired thousands of readers to discover not only what awaits us as we prepare to make our journey from earth to heaven, but, more importantly, how to achieve heaven on earth.

In Learning From the Light, Dr. Lerma shares more angelic messages given to his patients and more stories from and about survivors who have experienced the loss of a loved one...and their visits with angels.

The mystical experiences described in this revelatory work include:

* Messages about the future of the world.

* Lessons on how to prepare for a peaceful and joyful transition to the next world.

* Selfless suffering and its effect on humanity.

* Electronic voice phenomena (EVP).

* Interactions with white angels and dark angels.

Based on the latest research on near-death and pre-death experiences, Learning From the Light will show you:

* How to achieve heaven on earth.

* How to achieve self-forgiveness and self-love.

* How to disconnect from your ego to awaken your spiritual self.

Religious skeptics often claim that heaven's existence cannot be proven, because no one has ever returned to talk about it firsthand. This is the book that proves them wrong.

Another Great Book by Dr. Lerma!!!!
I have read many books about near death, dying, and angels. "Learning From The Light" is an amazing book!!! Once you open it, you can't put it down! The stories are so inspiring, so moving... I don't have the words to describe how this book as well as "Into The Light" (Dr. Lerma's first book) has changed my life!! His books are like warm fuzzy blankets on cold snowy days!!! I have given his books out as gifts to so many people! These are must reads!!

God Is Not Real. Maybe...Maybe Not. Not Sure?
I would rather not comment on someone else's review because everyone is entitled to their own opinion no matter how skewed it might be. But I just can't resist the temptation to do a little clarification here.

The person who gave this book one star and called it garbage because Lerma talks a lot about Jesus needs to understand something.

First of all you are reading a book written by a Christian, not a Muslim, nor Hindu, nor Buddhist. You are reading accounts from people who have grown up in a Christian culture.

If this book were written by a Hindu telling of the pre-death experiences of Hindus it would have been stories of people having visions of Krishna or Shiva and not of Jesus.

This fact does not invalidate these accounts however. They are still real. I know it's hard to wrap one's critical thinking around this fact. There are whole courses in the annals of philosophy explaining why this is so.

The Universal Something (whatever it may be) that we call God allows us to see it the best way that suits us. One of Lerma's patients even said so.

So Hindus would naturally see Krishna and not Jesus. A Buddhist would see the deities of his religion and culture instead of angels. The spiritual realm appears to you in the way that you find most comfortable.

For me, personally, I would rather not see anything. I would just want a nice peaceful feeling to accompany my passing over for that is what I strive for all my life and I think that that is what I'm going to get.

You really get what you most deeply want. That doesn't make the experience any less real though.

Simply because it's coming out of your most deeply ingrained wish fulfilling desire doesn't make it unreal. The Universal Something pours itself into whatever form you subconsciously create for it to communicate with you.

That's also the reason why we don't have one world religion. But everyone is still worshiping the same one Universal Entity which appears in different forms.

Say you have a deep ingrained wish fulfilling desire to win the lottery and become wealthy overnight. Your numbers come in tonight and it happens.

Would you refuse to collect the dough on the basis that it's just a wish fulfillment come true and therefore not real?

Hey, if you do just let me know. I wouldn't mind switching my reality for your overnight riches "unreality".

P.S. Another thing: I think the author didn't write verbatim exactly how the people spoke to him using their exact words because it's just harder to do so, and it's not really important how they spoke.

What were needed to let known were the ideas that these people conveyed. Remember that the angels themselves can't even talk. They have no vocal cords. Please read the book in a mature way and stop whinnying.
