It was 1968 as Carolyn Pells desperately searched for a way to numb the pain caused by complications during labor. Seconds after the doctor's anxious voices faded in the background, absolute stillness filled the air as time stopped and released Carolyn from her pain. As she began to float down a tunnel toward a welcoming light, Carolyn felt peaceful and euphoric. When she learned that her baby was alive, Carolyn requested to return. But she would not return the same woman. Her near-death experience had forever changed her. Fifty years later, Carolyn shares the results of her in depth research and study of near-death experiences, grounded in science, religion, and art. She explains the introspective path to learning we are all worthy, immortal, children of God. We have time to get it right before ascending to higher states. While confirming that unconditional love, acceptance, forgiveness, and peace are all part of our life journeys, Carolyn also tempers the sting of death with the understanding that there is more to come and, most importantly, that we are never permanently separated from our loved ones. Included are original paintings that provide beautiful perceptions of her experiences. The Immortal Soul shares insight into a woman's near-death experience that helps explain our unending process while providing confidence and peace to anyone seeking answers about life beyond.
