Matthieu, raconte-moi ta vie au paradis: Une description inédite de l’après-vie

by Suzanne Ward, Jean Hudon (Translator)

Entamer la lecture de « Matthieu, raconte-moi ta vie au paradis », c’est d’abord découvrir les circonstances à travers lesquelles Suzanne Ward est parvenue à surmonter le choc de la mort de son fils pour ensuite réussir à établir une communication télépathique d’une telle clarté qu’elle ne laisse pratiquement aucune place à l’incertitude quant à l’authenticité des messages ainsi reçus.

Le propos de cet ouvrage concerne bien davantage que ma seule histoire. C'est d'amour dont il s'agit ici, un amour à la fois personnel et divin, mais plus encore, ce livre apporte la preuve que lorsque les êtres que nous aimons quittent ce monde, ils continuent à vivre dans un autre corps, au sein d'un royaume merveilleux offrant une étonnante diversité de choses à faire et à voir.


«Vous vivez un deuil déchirant? Comment faire face au départ imminent d'un être cher? Ce livre peut grandement vous aider. C'est la découverte unique que fait une mère sur la vie après la mort, dévoilée par son fils, 14 ans après sa mort dans un accident de voiture, alors qu'il était àgé de 17 ans.
Vie, mort, jugement dernier, choix de nos parents et de nos enfants, divorce, contrats anténataux comme missions de vie... et plein d'autres sujets qui nous intriguent tous, sont abordés sans détour. Un livre à lire absolument, que l'on soit athée ou croyant.» - Eleusis, Bouches-du-Rhône, France.

Suzanne Ward was once an editor and manager of communications for a multinational corporation.

She was born in Youngstown (Ohio, USA) in 1933. She married and had 4 children. In 1965 she moved from Miami to Panama. Then, she divorced and moved to Washington D.C. Lately she has been living in rural Vancouver, Washington. There, she adopted dogs.

This is a book about the telepathic communications she received in 1994 from her passed-away son Matthew. Fourteen years later, after Mathew had a car crash, in Panama.


In the preface, Ward tells us that it is common belief people thinking “nobody can tell about the beyond-afterlife-“. That’s not true: her son spoke to her from heaven, from Nirvana, as Matthew called it.

One of the first communications was about answering mother’s question: the reason for the car crash. Matthew explained: he fell asleep. But he added too: the death was already pre-ordained: it was a “pre-birth agreement”….to which the parents had adhered to. No, it was not painful: because before the crash he released his soul from the body.

Susanne recalls her son: a celebration of independence…person. He was the third child of four (Eric, Betsy, Matthew and Michael). At two years old he was a “serious observer” and “words absorber”. He soon would show an early competence for “complete sentences” and “wise opinions”. At the age of three he moved to Panama. While in school, he would “transform numbers into flowers”, a kind of embellishment; and while at secondary level, his notebooks would show drawings of “spacecrafts and strange beings …and surrealist perspectives”. When he was eight, divorce happened, and at 10 he moved to Virginia, near Washington.

There was a time when Suzanne got alone. Eric went to Panama, frequenting the secondary level; Betsy in the Politech of Virginia; and Michael and Matthew in a school in Florida.

Despite the divorce, there are precious memories of the brothers excelling in sports. In April 1980, Mathew had ended earlier his school and sent Suzanne a letter: “I love you …don’t forget about that”. Matthew once told sister Betsy: "what happens after life on Earth must be one of the greatest adventures". This was 7 months before the accident.

Then, in 1980, the Jeep crash. He was 17 years old.

Suzanne met with three medium (psychic) people [Fred,Olga and Laura]. They all told her that one day Matthew would contact her.

To the mediums Matthew said: his mother liked classical music (which was true) and he himself was learning classical music and medicine (and psychology) in Nirvana.

For a long time Suzanne had the hope and the desire to contact her son, by telepathy. Telepathy is an "inherent right of our soul".

Yes, fourteen years later Susanne Ward started receiving, telepathically, information from his son: “about Nirvana (heaven), Jesus, reincarnation, Extraterrestrial civilizations, souls, galactic beings and God himself”.

Matthew is OK where he’s at. He even practices sports. His "job" in heaven is "assistant of transition": he helps those arriving/adapting there; yes, those who passed away from Earth. Those who died.

This is a must read, no matter how a believer (or unbeliever ) you are.

Suzanne has got a book also on her communications (conversations) with animals.


________
Post Scriptum

In June of 2007 S. Ward gave an interview to Allan Silberhartz (in Bridge Heaven & Earth); next are some of the aspects discussed that may help understanding the messages received, and beyond that.

1-Ward established the difference between “hierarchy of creation” and “one of the gods”, implying there are many. The soul is of God. She acknowledges having been contacted by “I am that I am”.

2-She takes a long explanation about love, according to his son, versus living a life in fear. “Fear is our foe”.

3-Planet earth is moving towards a lighter density: “we’re moving” (humanity). But Earth was a dying planet; other planets have died. Advanced civilizations have answered Earth's call for help. They’re using advanced technology. Ward says here is the only place where “time is linear”; and that “several spacecraft sightings are real”.

4-She’s a fervent apologist of saving the cetaceans…and the dolphins.

To rate this book, you must decide how you feel about someone channeling a deceased person. If you're comfortable, then this book is a smash as it describes Nirvana (apparently the appropriate name for what we call Heaven) in a very practical, logical explanation from a deceased young man communicating with his mother after years of adjustment. I'm drawn to the descriptions and explanations, but I'll admit I'm forced to drag my skeptical side along when later books by Matthew and his mother include messages directly from God (yes, I can handle the idea that we can have a direct connection, but I expected God to be more profound) and several extraterrestrial civilizations. Expectations and prior beliefs must inevitably interfere with the reader's perceptions of this whole series of books. Suzanne Ward maintains a newsletter of responses by her son to readers' questions.

I think all ideas are worth considering. What you do with them next is entirely up to you.

Matthew, Tell Me About Heaven by Suzanne Ward
Copyright: 2012, 7th Printing (2001). Format: Softcover. Page Count: 191. Nonfiction.

A dynamic channeled communication that can only happen with those we cherished while here on Earth, the messages sharing the basic blueprint of the next adventure that begins at our physical death. Highly recommend.

An interesting book, which one should read with an open mind... Of course many of its ideas are to be understood, accepted or not, according to each readers experience. Not a "literary" writing, but eightly so, since the aim of the Author (s) was more to teach and share an experience than top write a novel...

Comparing with other spiritual sources, much of it makes sense although its many details couls also come under the spectrum of a "very personal view" by Mathew...

I have long been a receiver of "messages from Matthew" brought to the page by Matthew's mother, Suzy Ward. I wanted a deeper reference to his messages about the heaven he calls Nirvana. It is clearly written and gives a wonderful perspective on what may occur for us after we leave our tired body behind and move on to a new Life experience.
Thanks for Matthew... and to Suzy for her clarity in receiving this book!

Very interesting

The writing style is the only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5. It's not terrible but I did find myself having to re-read sentences or paragraphs. Other than that this is a really great book and it gives me a little more comfort knowing what lies beyond physical death.

I liked about a third of the book and found it interesting and helpful. The rest of it was a bit out there for me.

A very soothing book to read! Once I picked it up, it was hard to put down!

No, not for me.
This book was recommended to me by a friend.
My friend loved this book.
We have both experienced the death of a parent during the last 24 months and for my friend this book was a great comfort to her.
To me this book just screamed fraud!
I just kept thinking that the Author has made the entire thing up and packaged it as real, real telepathic conversations with her dead son!!
I’m so sorry that Suzanne Ward lost her son when he was so young and I can see the writing of this book was and probably still is, a way for her to cope with her tragic loss.
But I feel this book should be marketed in a way that respects that the words and beliefs are those purely of the author. The exact same book could be so well received if it were sold as the words of a mother grieving her lost son. Attempting to sell these ideas as facts leaves these them open to debate and controversy.
As humans we all have our own mind and have our own thoughts. Our beliefs are those thoughts we have about things we don’t have any real evidence of. The beauty of this is that our beliefs can be whatever we want them to be and generally they give us comfort throughout our life.
I found no comfort in this book. There was a lot of ego and judgement. There was preference to God and classical music. There was a weird confusion between alien-like universal travel and reincarnation. And finally, too much pressure to study and work in the afterlife which my beliefs simply cannot fathom!

Mind Blown. Thirteen-year-old Matthew dies in a car accident. His mother, Suzanne Ward, the book's author consults with psychics about her deceased son and each one tells her that when the time is right, her son will contact her. About a decade later he comes to her while she is meditating. He answers all her questions about why he died and what heaven is like. It turns out they had a pre-birth agreement between their souls that he should leave first and then contact her for the purpose of her writing these books. She worked as an editor; perfect job skills for this task! Matthew told her must write these books from the information that he gave her. That this information was important to us here today on Earth. I have also purchased three of the subsequent books and I will review them separately.

This is a fascinating memoir that blows apart preconceived notions about the cosmic nature of life and death. It challenges the 3-dimensional perception that humans are limited to and governed by the physical senses. I can't help but recall the quotes from Alice in Wonderland:

"We're all mad here."- Cheshire Cat on the unpredictable, nonsensical nature of life.

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - The Queen admits to, and even defends, her acceptance of absurd and impossible things.

Like Alice and the menagerie, the author ponders similar notions. And whether the notions are presented in fiction or non-fiction, perhaps the greater lesson is to accept the chaos, absurdity, and so-called nonsense of the world, to witness what is presented to us without judgment, and henceforth, the universe can reveal its mysteries to us.

There’s no spoiler here. Eventually we will all die. What matters is what you believe happens next.

Suzanne Ward, by our Earthy accounts, lost her teenage son in a tragic accident. She is granted the gift of communicating telepathically with him some years later. Matthew tells his mother through long question and answer sessions what it is like to die. He also explains that his death was pre-determined before he was born.

Matthew lifts the veil on life after death; explains what we call heaven is really like and the work he does with new arrivals or transients.

This is a good read and will have you thinking about what is really in store for each us when we take our last breath.

Não é de todo o meu género de leitura. Peguei nele apenas por curiosidade e descobri que o estilo literário não acompanhava o meu gosto pela leitura. Para complementar este desagrado meu, à medida que fui lendo o livro, inicialmente com uma mente aberta, talvez para compreender outras pessoas que passam por situações semelhantes na vida, fui ficando cada vez mais desapontada com o tema abordado e a forma como tal foi feito.

Trata-se, pura e simplesmente, uma conversa - real ou não - entre uma mãe e um filho falecido que vive no Além, no Nirvana.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read this once in my early 20s and again in my 30s. Having more life under my belt, this is definitely not what I thought it was as a young adult. There are huge contradictions within the book as well as things that just make zero sense when considering a cumulative soul/heaven perspective. It's all very two-dimensional, using many of the common viewpoints and religions of this world. I definitely would recommend anyone wanting to read this to look at it with a logical eye and take what comforts you while leaving the rest behind.

Am inceput sa o citesc acum 10 ani, insa se pare ca nu eram suficient de pregatita pentru ea. Intr-o perioada de nesigurnata, cuprinsa de o avalansa de intrebari, am decis sa mai incerc inca o data sa o citesc. Si ce bine am facut!

A fost dovada clara ca totul se intampla la momentul portivit si ca nu trebuie sa fortam lucrurile. Indiferent de credintele fiecaruia dintre noi, merita o sansa, chiar si daca lectura se face cu o doza de scepticism. Veti fi surprinsi cate informatii se regasesc in carte, pe care cu siguranta le-ati mai intalniti in alte contexte.

[Mihai Chindris · Rating 4 out of 5]

It gives you a unique perspective of the afterlife, from simple, yet deep & powerful conversations between a mom and her deceased son. I found it very intriguing, although some passages from the book gave me doubts and made me a little skeptic. It is an easy read, but it requires some involvement from the reader, after all, to get through the long explanations that lie inside some sentences.

[Carole Petranovich · Rating 5 out of 5]

I believe this book will help anyone who is grieving the loss of a person or pet. While some of it seems a little hard to comprehend, it's probably because we've been taught differently. I want to believe 100% and may have to read this a few times.

Excellent Book About Heaven

Very well put together book about the afterlife. Placed in precise chapters and easy to follow. It's what we need in these times of spiritual confusion.
