Afterlife Of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death

Product Information

Finally I don't believe that Billy is the disembodied voice of William Cohen returning to educate humanity because the cosmic secrets Billy "reveals" are secondhand and shallow, example, "Pain is just part of the human experience…our lives are temporary" Also: there is no such thing as good or bad and you have everything you need. One of the most detailed and profound ADC's ever recorded, Kagan's book takes the reader beyond the near-death experience. Billy's vivid, real-time account of his on-going journey through the mysteries of death will change the way you think about life. Death and your place in the Universe.

The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved

The bulk of Billy's verbiage is directed to Kagan and their bruised and bruising relationship. She worshipped and tried to save him; he resented her, ignored her, and let her down. Suddenly he's in heaven and she's all he's got time for. There are passages that read almost as incestuous. Billy refers to Kagan as "my darling." "Who but you could I tell my secrets to, my darling?" I believe all this as Kagan working out her issues. We meet Annie in a quiet chapter of her life in a small house by the bay on the eastern tip of Long Island. At the age of sixteen, she was already working for Columbia Records and well embarked on a career in music. In her twenties, however, she continued her studies, eventually creating a successful chiropractic practice on Manhattan’s East Side. Attracted to Eastern spiritual traditions, she studied yoga and, following her inner voice, she relinquished her hectic life in the city to meditate, write music and start writing a book. That’s when she joined Tex’s book-writing club, and that’s where this book begins. Annie's book touched me. The way in which she describes her relationship with her brother and mostly, the way in which his words resonate creating an inner universe of musical beauty, had an impact on me irrespectively of it being a "truth truth" or a poetic truth... It was an encouraging read, but Billy's experiences may have been a "instanced role play" of what he thought afterlife might be designed for his own benefit by a collective consciousness or "higher beings" as he called it. Billy's ongoing after-death communications take his sister on an unprecedented journey into the bliss and wonder of life beyond death. Billy's profound, detailed description of the mystical realms he traverses, the Beings of Light that await him, and the wisdom he receives take the reader beyond the near-death experience. Billy is, indeed, as Dr. Raymond Moody points out in his foreword, explaining the phenomena we've known about since ancient times, an afterworld walker.While reading this book, I always try to put myself in the authors shoes and try to feel what they are feeling (only for non-fiction stories). Whatever your religion is, you are raised believing one way because that is what was taught to you. Everyone has their own beliefs, and if they chose to believe that something like this can really happen, then they will. As a believer in the afterlife and also believing that people that have passed can communicate with us, many things in this book, I have read some of the same things and have had those same thoughts. In the book, Annie's brother communicated with her after a tragic death. They were never close as brother and sister and didn't always keep in touch. She had helped him several times to try and get him to beat his addiction to drugs. Maybe she had some guilt after his death because she had failed at helping him. But, from my experience of knowing people with addictions and working with them as well, they have to want to help themselves before anyone else can help them. Not everyone wants the help for whatever reasons. Anyways, after his death, she wakes one morning to his voice, talking to her and telling her to write down what he is telling her. She does so, not knowing entirely if it is real or not. As she does so, she keeps it to herself at first then shares with her writer's group about it and gives them proof that this is for real when he gives little messages for her to give to certain people. One of the things that Billy told her was that before we are born, we choose the kind of life we want to live. I have read this many times before. This also factors in the belief of reincarnation. Because we may chose one life-an easy one, no struggles, everything we want and then our next life, we may chose a hard one where everything is a struggle, we get by with the basic things we need in life but always wishing we had more so we didn't have to pinch pennies so much. I have always felt like that. He also mentioned about this "person" he referred to as Joseph and how he felt he had always known him and come to find out they were part of the same tribe from long ago. Many people could read into that a lot of things or just say it adds to the flare of the story. But when you stop and think about all the people you meet in your lifetime, some you feel a strong connection to, like you have known them all your life or if you believe in past lives, then maybe you knew that person in another lifetime. That by living many lives, we are learning things to put us on a higher plane when we die. When we feel that have learned all we need, then we are no longer reincarnated but remain on what level we decided to stop at. Billy was a drug addict and led a very hard life. This is what he had to say about it: "How do I know my life wasn't some punishment for my past transgressions? Well, because there's no such thing. You're not on earth to be punished. ... That's a human concept. Something man made up. Humans make up stuff and then they believe it". pg 24, ebook. A continuation along that line of thinking later in the book: "Beliefs are big on earth. People collect them. Some of these beliefs are helpful, but others just keep you running around trying to follow rules that others have laid down. They don't have a lot of personal meaning. It's a good idea to sort through your beliefs now and then and throw out the ones that don't serve you." pg 85, ebook I'm guessing that Kagan and her brother are of Jewish descent. One of the saddest aspects of "Billy Fingers" is that in imagining her afterlife and answers to the cosmic questions, Kagan has no use for Judaism whatsoever. Her text is reflective of Jewbu, those modern Jews who have traded their ancestral riches for a vitiated and commodified version of Buddhism and Hinduism. Humans don't usually get to experience the full magnificence of their lives while they're living it. They get caught up in lots of ideas and lose sight of the miracle that is their life.” In 2004, bad boy Billy Fingers Cohen, a homeless small-time drug dealer and addict in a state of drug induced euphoria, ran into a busy intersection and was killed instantly by a speeding automobile. He left behind a grieving sister. For weeks she struggled with grief and tried to make sense of Billy's seemingly wasted life and tragic death.

Have you ever heard a story that purports to be true, yet you have a nagging hesitation to believe it, despite recognising your deep desire that it be true? Don't be overly concerned about how you look in the eyes of others. People will pretty much see you as they will. Play your part in the cosmic drama, but never forget, baby, that you choose the way you see yourself. Don't let others do the casting.” I will pass this book along to someone else who would like to know a little more about the afterlife and hope they have some more of their questions answered. And to the doubters who think perhaps she made it all up—no way. All my sources and study tell me that Billy Fingers is more real than most of what you’ll find between the covers of books. Even if you believe it came from her own extended Mind, it all rings true, carrying the higher-frequency, healing, energetic imprint of the many Minds who helped make such an interdimensional collaboration possible.
