It has been almost two years since Stephen Levine died. Sometime in the early 1980s, a friend told me about his book Who Dies?. I read and re-read that book over and over again. My copy is full of underlines and stars and my comments. From then on, I read every book he wrote, up to Unattended Sorrow in 2005, a book that spoke to me in a deep healing way. While meditating early yesterday morning, I remembered something Stephen Levine had said about the heart's role in meditation. When I finished meditating, I began to search for that online and found the moving update from Ondrea Levine. I have now ordered a copy of Stephen's last book, Becoming Kuan Yin: The Evolution of Compassion.
Ondrea's story, The Healing I Took Birth For, which was told by Stephen Levine in a way that reflected Ondrea's dyslexia, is a book I can recommend. It is my understanding that both Stephen and Andrea had serious health problems at the time they made the YouTube video. Ondrea's health improved. Stephen's health didn't.
"Buddha left a road map, Jesus left a road map, Krishna left a road map, Rand McNally left a road map. But you still have to travel the road yourself." (Stephen Levine)
