Kurzbeschreibung
Reincarnation or an eternal afterlife? Eastern and Western philosophies have disagreed on this point for thousands of years. Novak argues that each perspective is partially correct, concluding that the human psyche divides at death, the conscious element reincarnating, and the subconsious judging itself. Novak describes how this division may have arisen and how it is likely to be resolved.
Synopsis
When we die, do we enter an afterlife or return to this life? Eastern and Western philosophies have disagreed on this point for thousands of years. The author seeks to bridge the gap between the historical conflict this question engenders. In this text, the authors draws on mythology, psychology, religion and science, as well as past-life regression and near-death experiences to argue that each perspective is partially correct and that the human soul divides at death, with the concious mind reincarnating and the unconcious mind judging itself. This premise is put forward to explain the differences between the world's religions. Novak describes how this division arose and how it is likely to be resolved.

This book ought to be read by every thoughtful person on this planet - not only those contemplating the after-life! Because by studying the after-life, we can learn to get more out of our current lives. Peter Novak effectively pulls it all together: religion (the major World religions' after-life beliefs of reincarnation and a heaven/hell scenario, and more); science (current scientific ideas about the duality of the mind, ie. the conscious and un-conscious aspects of the brain); "paranormal" activity (ie. near-death experiences, past-life hypnosis regression analysis, and ghosts).
Through his comprehensive research, lasting over a decade, Peter Novak has shown that the current major World Religions have all been partially correct in their after-life beliefs about what transpires after we leave this three-dimensional existence, but none has had the whole picture. The simple, yet profound, very early Christian belief of the Binary Soul Doctrine, which was effectively squelched over time by a variety of means, has been almost single-handedly resurrected by Peter Novak. And now, with the advent of the Internet, the ideas discussed in this book, may have a real chance to elevate our global consciousness and unity. Passages from the Bible, whose meaning had heretofore eluded comprehension by most of us, now re-looked at through the Division Theory filter, make a lot more sense.
While his book is brilliant, Peter would be the first to admit that his Division Theory is a work- in-progress. Peter continues fleshing out the nuances of the ideas proposed in his book, via his web site and discussion groups. I think a second book may eventually result from his continued research and I'll be one of the first in line to purchase and read it!

The personal tragedy of the death of his wife stimulated Peter Novak to go on a 10-year odyssey about what happens to us after the death of the physical body. He examined a whole host of religions and cultures along with the depth psychology of Freud and Jung. Novak found an amazing thing: we do not have just one soul. Rather we have a soul that relates to the unconscious mind and a spirit that relates to the conscious mind. Unless the person is fully integrated while alive, the soul and the spirit go on their separate paths after death. Novak calls his concept "Division theory." With this theory, Novak is able to show the differences between Western monotheistic religions such as Christiantity and Islam - which describe the fate of the soul and its afterlife travels to either heaven and hell - and Eastern religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism - which describe the fate of the spirit which repeatedly reincarnates. Division theory is exceptional because it shows there is historical and scientific verification for the concept of a spirit and soul with separate fates. All is not lost, however, as Novak shows us how to integrate the two haves to have a fully-integrated spirit-soul that can travel to eternal bliss with the Supreme Being. The concept is brilliant, and the book is well-written. It was a stimulus for me in my own book, "Searching for Eternity." I recommend "The Division of Consciousness" without reservation for all those who are puzzled about what awaits us in the afterlife and how we can help ourselves achieve eternal bliss.
