Fun fact

Southard excels at demystifying mortality, turning a taboo subject into a practical tool for empowerment. The tone is gentle yet firm, avoiding mystical jargon in favor of psychological clarity. However, readers seeking deep metaphysical theory or rigorous academic analysis may find it too simplistic. It occupies a unique niche between grief counseling and self-help, offering a refreshing, life-affirming perspective on the inevitable. A solid choice for beginners in spiritual growth.

📝 Description: Conscious Living Made Easy

Conscious Living Made Easy will guide you to living a full and rewarding life, a life without regret. It will help you to take control and responsibility for living life in the present, appreciating life as you live it and to set a realistic path in life for yourself. It will guide you to examining your beliefs and integrate those most beneficial to your path into your spirituality. Part of conscious living is to acknowledge that death will come. As children, we think we are immortal. Even as we get older, we think it is someone else that will die, not us. Our death is far off and we have plenty of time to do whatever we want. To live consciously is to accept that death is a part of life and plan for it, while not allowing it to dominate our life at any age. Bob Southard, after his own near death encounter, shares his experience and offers his thoughts, beliefs and meditations to help you plan for and live life in a conscious way.

Occult literature desk

Southard’s work is a refreshing antidote to abstract metaphysics, offering concrete steps for emotional liberation. However, it may not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or those who prefer complex theological debates over practical application. It assumes a willingness to confront mortality directly, which might discomfort those avoiding existential themes. The tone is accessible but demands personal introspection that some may find too directive. While the premise of using death awareness for clarity is compelling, it requires an open mind toward non-traditional spiritual frameworks. Those looking for quick fixes without deep self-examination will likely find its gentle challenges insufficient.

Exactly as described

Added this to my reference shelf. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Highly recommend to serious students.

Finally got around to ordering this. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Good, with the caveats above.

A serious text

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Highly recommend to serious students.

📜 Historical context

This work sits within the modern New Age movement’s fascination with near-death experiences as catalysts for spiritual awakening. It echoes the existentialist tradition of 'being-toward-death,' popularized by Heidegger, but translates it into accessible, self-help vernacular. Unlike dense academic treatises, it aligns with the 1990s surge in practical spirituality, merging psychological self-help with metaphysical contemplation to democratize profound wisdom.
