Dying to live. This is a book about what happens to us when we are close to death. And far from being the horrific experience many assume it must be, coma can be a tima of ecstasy, understanding and remarkable transformation, preparing us for what lies ahead whether we live or die.
Using his celebrated process work with body signals and dreams, Process oriented and Jungian analyst Arnold Mindell illustrates how we can communicate with comatose individuals and reveals that they are not 'vegetables' but very much alive - like shamans or mythical heroes venturing into unknown realms, returning with powerful messages and prophetic insights.
'In this blackest hole of life, the process that have been waiting inside of us our whole lives seek completion and realization... Thus the warm person of today becomes, near death, a divine and loving deity in the cosmos.'
In a foreword to this new edition Mindell and his wife and co-worker Amy, they plead that those who work with people in comas do so 'in a compassionate and intimate manner, because it reduces their isolation, allows them to express deep thing, and facilitates living or dying as the case may be.
