Part of: Perennial Philosophy (47 books)
We all wish to know whence we have come and whither we are going. In these conversations of a solitary man with the mountains, the stars, the animals, the plantsin a word, with his brothers and sisters on this earthwe learn about the meaning of death. The mighty book of Nature begins to speak and to answer our anxious questions in great images and analogies. In the spirit of the great German mystics, the author Hans Kury seeks answers to such questions as: Why do people believe in the immortality of the human soul? Is there a key to understanding the soul's fate after death? To what extent is the body a reflection of the soul? Are the animals and other creatures of the natural world messengers of the hereafter?
