Seeking Jordan: How I Learned the Truth about Death and the Invisible Universe

McKay, professor at the Berkley Wright Institute and cofounder of Haight Ashbury Psychological Services, grieved the death of his adult son Jordan, victim of a shooting in 2008. Since then, McKay has been actively channeling his late child. At one time a skeptic, McKay provides an account of the many ways he attempted communicating with Jordan, finally breaking through with a technique developed by a Veterans Administration doctor who works with PTSD sufferers. McKay attributes much of this text to the communication he has received from Jordan, including insights on karma, cosmic reality, and the connection between body and soul. Readers are in for an emotional journey as he attempts to work through his initial grief, relying on friends and professionals who guide him toward seeking regular communication with his son. According to McKay, his son regularly advise him about making personal decisions and explains what the afterlife looks like. McKay’s claims may appear outlandish, but, no matter one’s personal beliefs about the afterlife, his story of loss is both heartbreaking and touching. (Mar.)
