Under the Tree a Novel by Greg Stone

Ray Carte nearly ends his life when he plummets off an icy mountain road and crashes into a tree. Experiencing the near death state, he finds himself lost in a strange world in which he encounters a guide who reminds him of Alice from Alice in Wonderland. His lovely guide turns out to be much more than a fairy tale character: only with her help does he maintain hope that he can return to those he loves.

Readers are transported into the post mortem state in this novel of the near death experience. Under the Tree follows in the tradition of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Death, dying and the afterlife are explored from the point of view of characters entangled in a life-and-death crisis.

Under the Tree was written for readers who enjoy philosophy and religion in a dramatic format; Under the Tree belongs in the same genre as The Celestine Prophecy. Writing with the colors of Buddhist philosophy, Stone presents Eastern concepts of the afterlife in an engaging drama that adds clarity to the discussion of life after death.

This one belongs on your bookshelf next to The Tibetan Book of the Dead and Siddhartha.

The Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Ray Carte almost loses his life under the tree, but, with her help, finds his way back, having learned lessons that change his life.
