The General Speaks: Intimate Conversations with the Dead

To all appearances, Major General Albert N. Stubblebine III died in the Intensive Care Unit of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on his 87th birthday. My name is Rima E. Laibow, MD. General Bert and I were together for nearly 26 years and married for 23 of them. There is no doubt about it: General Bert’s body irrefutably died and was subsequently irrefutably destroyed through cremation. General Bert’s consciousness and energy, however, did not die. The General Speaks includes powerful new ways of looking at the nature of Reality and the realities we all experience with General Bert’s characteristic wit, wisdom, foresight and passion. Because of the nature of Probability, though, the temptation to ascribe perfect foresight and infallibility to General Bert is a mistake. He frequently reminds me, “I am not omnipotent, just (slightly) dead.” His batting average for seeing where we are going, however, is pretty remarkable.
