Reading Beyond the Lines: A Treatise on Consciousness, Energy, Spirituality and Healing By Liyla S
Synopsis-
On an unsuspecting Friday night, Liyla lost her son to an accident. Lost and disillusioned, all she wanted was a chance to speak to her son again and tell him she loved and missed him. But death is the end, isn’t it?
In a mind-bending journey through the many planes we humans exist in, Liyla’s life changes as she encounters people who help reach across the veil of life and connect her to her son. This event opens a door in her life through which she discovers the meaning of life and beyond. Her studies ranging from contemporary Western sciences to ancient Indian wisdom lead her to understand what it means to live, and our purpose on this planet along with a clear realization that the universe is just energy.
This book will take you on a journey that answers many questions that have plagued humanity. What exactly is the mind? What is Consciousness? What is destiny? And the biggest one of all-- What happens after our physical forms pass from this life? Liyla looks at these questions with a scientific lens, hoping to bridge the gaps between science and spirituality — for each one of us looks for answers to these same questions within this cosmos.
In this book, the spiritual aspects of life are explained with reference to the Panchakosha (five-layer) theory of Indian spirituality which is elucidated in the Upanishads and other ancient Indian books. This gives a robust logical basis to understand Consciousness and life in the physical and subtle planes.
Book Review-
As defined by Verywell Mind, Spirituality is "a belief in something beyond the self." It can refer to a firm faith in a supernatural being, or it can be defined more narrowly as "a holistic belief in a personal connection to other people and the world at large. It has been shown that spirituality, in its broadest sense, has the same beneficial effects on health and happiness as organized religion. Science has proven that turning to one's faith can help in facing adversity, whether it be stress, depression, or loss. The spiritual path not only helps with the mental and physical symptoms of these conditions but also offers a social network of support through group participation.
I recently discovered a marvellous book that extrapolates this topic in a much deeper sense. Reading Beyond the Lines is a comprehensive guide to self-awareness, spirituality in the realm of energy, and the healing arts. The exploration of the spiritual limits of the human mind is the primary focus of this book. In this book, Liyla S. puts forth a detailed yet approachable argument for the importance of the mind, emotions, and thoughts. The book rehashes our ancient texts' explanations of manas, buddhi, and chitta to demonstrate their profundity.
When it comes to the human mind, body, and energy, and how to maintain them, the author provides comprehensive knowledge in a package of clear descriptions. She studied everything from modern Western science to ancient Indian philosophy and came to terms with the fact that the universe is nothing more than energy, the meaning of life, and our place in the cosmos. Many of the mysteries that have long puzzled humankind are resolved in this book.
This a much-recommended book to awaken your inner self and dive deeper into the mystic world of spirituality.
