In the first part of the book, Levine encourages us to explore our own thoughts, fears, worries, and desires—without judgment—and to open our hearts to ourselves. This allows us to recognize how our own resistance to what is creates our own hell. In the second part of the book, we learn helpful support for our work with suffering individuals: when accompanying the sick and dying, the barriers between our hearts dissolve as we open ourselves to the uniqueness of the other and let go of thoughts and judgments. This book is a valuable aid for everyone on their life journey, whether they are ill or healthy, for helpers or those affected. "Paths Through Death" is the first book that shows us how engaging with the process of dying opens us to the vastness of life. Stephen.
