To prove the word We'll now appeal to none of all Those thy Old soldiers, great and tall, Ripe men of martyrdom, that could reach down With strong arms, their triumphant crown; Such as could with lusty breath Speak loud into the face of death, Their great Lord's glorious name, to none Of those whose spacious bosoms spread a throne For Love at large to fill: spare blood and sweat; And see him take a private seat, Making his mansion in the mild And milky soul of a soft child. Scarce has she learn't to lisp the name Of.martyr: yet she thinks it shame Life should so long play with that breath Which spent can buy so brave a death. She never undertook to know What Death with Love should have to do Nor has she e're yet understood Why to show love, she should shed blood, Yet though she cannot tell you why, She can love and she can die.

What are we to make of direct spiritual experience? Of accounts of going to heaven or meeting angels? Traditional science would call these hallucinations or delusions. Clinical psychologist Dr. Mark Yama argues the opposite. Through interviews with his patients, he shows that underneath the visions and experiences there is a unifying spiritual reality apart from the material world. One of the stories recounted in this book is the experience of a woman who could see the future. In a spiritual transport, she was taken to heaven where truths were revealed to her that she later discovered were already written in Gnostic scripture. Another woman lived a life marked by a spiritual sensitivity that defied materialist explanation. After she passed away of cancer, she came to inhabit the consciousness of another of Dr. Yama's patients in the form of a benign possession. These stories, and many others, argue for a deeper reality that places spirituality on an equal footing with the material world.
