Aldous would send a message, any message, after he passed away to let her know the afterlife was a fact.

Some of these themes and ideas include overpopulation, ecology, modernity, democracy, mysticism, entheogens, and somatotypes. Will Farnaby learns that death does not have to be depressing or traumatic, it can be a celebration of someone's life as they take a journey into the unknown.

Digesting that bit of logic, I finished the book, my wine, and the bartender brought the credit card machine over. However, it was one of those books that struck me like lightning and forever change the way I frame the world and our society. It's said to be the 'partner' book to this, and it's interesting drawing comparisons between the two. The world is too bogged down by those who don't appreciate the logic and genius reasoning behind all this. Laura followed the instructions, and came to a book entitled Eternity is Real (or that’s the general idea, as my faulty memory now dictates).

Elem, čovek je pre više od pola veka govorio o stvarima koje me trenutno veoma zanimaju, pa sam se čitajući konstantno oduševljavala govoreći u sebi "da li je moguće, pa upravo o ovom sam razmišljala juče!And now, fifty years later, I read other people’s reviews here on GR and find my discontent verified objectively. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

but if you're not convinced by the whole buddhist ideology, like a few people i've reccomended this book to, then i'd say this isn't for you. I have seen many say it is considered the flip-side novel of the dystopian society presented in Brave New World.

Scholars of Aldous's works see his mother's death in his cynical attitude and his books including Brave New World and the utopian Island. Pala es una "utópica" isla donde descubre una sociedad pletórica de libertad y perfección (Al menos en términos de los que Huxley consideraría como tal, supongo) Es obvio que la historia, plagada de abrumadores y enredados diálogos filosóficos, no es más que una excusa para que el autor exponga su percepción de la "felicidad" humana en base a cierta confusa espiritualidad junto a extrañas iluminaciones y su rechazo hacia ideologías como el comunismo, religiones en general y cualquier cosa que se asemeje a totalitarismos o tiranías.
