Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe

Product Information

This most hopeful work is a peek behind the scenes of the universe, reading it is like receiving a private message from God. Its essence is this: While one’s body is temporary, one’s love lives forever. What a thought!” —Mark Epstein, MD, author of Advice Not Given: A Guide to Getting Over Yourself It tells us how we can ask our deceased loved ones to give us signs from the other side to let us know they’re okay. The only chapter worth reading is 30...(why did I really suffer through 29 to get there)...which discusses the importance of art, travel, and basic self-care routines.

Please understand I am not a skeptic, I believe that there are signs in our universe, but this book does nothing to further tuning into those signs or learning about them outside of a "god-based" belief system. All perspectives are from a Christian view-point and that is not how the book presents itself. There's an entire chapter that discusses a woman being talked out of her abortion by her dead father because she "chose love", a chapter on prayer, and consistent references to Jesus. If this book is meant to be Christian literature then please label it as such. There were parts I like and parts I didn’t. The beginning and end were good but the middle was a slog. I believe in signs and that there’s more to the world and all, I just don’t believe with all the specific things she had put together to explain it all. I think she makes it too easy and makes the world seem too pretty, which brings me to my main qualm. It’s easy for me, a rich white girl, to believe all is great despite a few hiccups. But how could other people, people less fortunate than me, buy into that? How could a widow in Syria who lost all her kids and has nothing say life is great and all about togetherness and love? A collection of incredible stories . . . that speak to the universe’s endless capacity for magical moments.”—goop A collection of incredible stories . . . that speak to the universe’s endless capacity for magical moments.”—Goop Maybe it’s just not that easy to let go of the hope that you can still talk to the people you love once they’re gone.

Success!

This is a very hopeful book for those that have suffered losses in their life. When someone passes away, we often wonder if they are doing okay and if they can connect with us. The author happens to be a psychic medium who is able to connect with people that have passed, and has the ability to convey messages. She believes that anyone is capable of connecting with our loved ones and provides many examples and ways to do so yourself. We are given dozens of true life examples of people constantly receiving signs from the other side. A modern guide to connecting with the other side, Signs is full of stories of hope. It teaches us how to recognise and interpret the life-changing messages from loved ones and spirit guides, by a renowned psychic medium. The opening paragraph says that is no accident that this book came to me, I thought that was a strong message. Anyway, the author goes on to tell stories of people receiving signs from their loved ones when they asked. I wished fervently that my mom would send me a dragonfly again because I hadn’t seen one from her in a long time. After that, I opened my mind to the rest of the book. All I can say, is that you have to read it for yourself, especially if you are struggling with the loss of a love one. It is a beautiful experience.

It’s a lovely concept, if you don’t think too critically about it: the existence of the “other side”, shrouded in love and light. A reality where death isn’t real and we get to be with our loved ones again. Not just our loved ones, either, apparently. Our pets and our unborn babies, too, according to Laura Lynne! Book Genre: Adult, Fantasy, Metaphysics, Nonfiction, Occult, Paranormal, Philosophy, Self Help, Spirituality, Witchcraft However, despite asking numerous times, I have not myself received any signs from passed loved ones, so this was disappointing.I knew then that my mom had sent me a sign loud and clear. She is still there watching over me, sending her love. Three or four days went by and nothing, and I was beginning to think the book was wishful thinking. Then on Saturday, my husband I were driving somewhere. We arrived at our destination, but I was talking on the phone with my dad because he had called me while we were driving so I didn’t get out immediately. We were sitting in the parking lot, chatting with my dad, when all of a sudden this beautiful green dragonfly flew up and starting banging against our windshield. It kept doing it. I started to cry and said, “It’s my dragonfly from my mom.” The dragonfly kept hovering by our car, and when I got out, it flew up to me and followed me for a minute. I know it sounds totally crazy, but it happened, my husband saw it for himself, and trust me, he is a total skeptic.
