What reading level is Why We May Believe in Life After Death book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is the immortality on which there is not a blot. All per- sonal limitations are annihilated, all per- sonal memories are washed away, all personal affections are dissolved, all per- sonal tendencies and peculiarities and achievements are swallowed up in the fathomless gulf of the unspeakable and ineffable Whole. The ultimate goal of the soul is absorption in the Infinite, or, to use the word of the Sages of the East, Nirvana.
ARGUMENT AGAINST IMMORTALITY But this line of reasoning, however... ethereal and imposing, has dubious foun- dations. If it is selfish to desire to live on the other side the grave, it is selfish to desire to live on this side. If it is de- moralizing to character to anticipate life a hundred years from now, it is demoral- izing to anticipate the life of next year, next month, next week, to-morrow. It would seem that in order to live at one's best, one ought not to want to live at all. But experience proves that when one has no desire to live, the fac- ulties lose their edge, and the vital forces dwindle.
