The story of mystic messenger by Jacqueline Susann is an excellent little book that deals with life after death. Jacqueline Susann is a deeply religious woman, and yet even she managed to write a book on how to start over in the mystical realm. I was torn between the spirituality and comedy in the book. In the first few pages, however, I think that the seriousness of the material took a back seat to the entertainment value. That may be part of what made it so good.

 

It's easy to see where the relationship with death comes in for Jacqueline Susann. Her own life was full of promise - she had graduated from college, she was studying for a master's degree, she'd been working hard at her writing for nearly a decade. Yet when her friend's son was born just before Christmas, she was consumed with guilt over leaving his baby in the care of strangers. Then a short time later, tragedy struck her own life as well. But rather than dwell on what she'd lost, she put everything into making her friend's son a great, happy child.

 

So it's no surprise that the second half of the book is about her search for her own spirit guide or chosen person, while dealing with the grief that inevitably comes with such a loss. We've all been in the position of wondering what we'd done wrong - if we'd failed, whether we'd been seen by a loved one who we'd promised to meet, or whether we'd said something that should have been kept secret. None of these thoughts are comforting, but they're not the whole story either. To read other people's experiences with such loss and then to feel the same emotions - guilt, anger, sadness, anxiety - are intensely healing. The fact that Susann is able to find a person to love again - and to give loving advice to others about how to do the same - is also deeply touching.

How to Start Over in Mystic Messenger

 

However, it wasn't until I'd finished reading the last part of how to start over in mystic messenger that I realised just how deeply connected to the reader Susann Czyzewski is. Her voice is engaging and there's no doubt that the woman she'd been through the process of healing herself had left an indelible impression on the reader. The book has a firm grasp on reality as Susann sees it, but she gives herself free rein to describe what she saw, how it felt and what she'd hoped to achieve. What she ended up with was a novel that could have easily been called a textbook on terminal cancer therapies.

 

I know this might sound like an endorsement of conventional treatments - after all, it's hard to argue with the honesty and effectiveness of such a book. As a cancer survivor, I know that conventional treatments can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster ride through hell, but learning to take control of your life again, and doing everything you can to improve your quality of life, can be empowering. I'd definitely recommend that anyone starting a course of treatment look into How to Start Over in Mystic Messenger.

 

If you're someone who'd like to have more control over your life, and would like to find a more positive, supportive place to turn for support while you do treatment, I wouldn't go in expecting How to Start Over in Mystic Messenger to completely address your concerns. If anything, this book could serve as a reminder of the things you'd like to focus on while in the throes of treatment, or a quick reference guide when you need to brush up on something. It's not a text book on curing cancer - there are many more informative, valuable books that tackle this subject - but it's a book about bringing your love of life back into your life.

 

I found that I didn't have to look too far to find other helpful reading. My own love of poetry by Keats, specifically his elegy on the garden of Eden and his description of the soul coming into union with the body can be found throughout How to Start Over in Mystic Messenger. I particularly enjoyed his description of the pains of loneliness and the beauty of being with people we love. Poetry can offer us a beautiful way to get in touch with our souls, and while reading his poetic passages brought me to tears, I also felt renewed and connected to my own spirit.

 

In terms of the practical application of what was learned, I'd have to say that the advice within the pages of How to Start Over in Mystic Messenger holds true for anyone who's looking to improve their lives by using alternative therapies. If you're willing to put in a little work, and practice the exercises described in the book regularly, you'll find greater strength and inner power. That's not to say that everything within the book is going to work for you right away - you'll probably have to give it a fair amount of time to prove to yourself that the path you're taking is right for you.
