Also to those who are seeking answers to the age-old     questions about life and death.     Unlike other similar stories of experiences, i.e.  (A Course in Miracles). These teachings     came in the form of answers to direct questions put to St. Stephen, by myself and other     members of the group, in a simple and easy to understand manner.    One can compare Stephen's teaching to the Neale Donald Walsch's "Conversations with God"    which has sold millions of copies.  Dr. Bernie Siegel remarks that the latter   "Contains a wisdom I believe we all have inside us but don't stop to listen to..    There is the wisdom of the ages in this book." This book also appears to be "received"    from a higher level of mind. Yes, truth is truth, whoever expresses it.      Similarly one can compare Stephen's teaching with Jane Roberts' Seth speaks  and    see that the trance personality Seth's picture of reality is in some ways also close to    that of St. Stephen.   The transcripts of these teachings were tape-recorded and are included, (in subject   rather than chronological order) as they were recorded.  It is important to note that the   grammar in the quotes by St. Stephen and other speakers has not been corrected.    This will help to convey to the readers the personality of those speakers.   *The transcripts have been the subjects of over twenty years of research by:    The Rev. Michael Cocks, M.A. NZ Philosophy, M.A. Oxon. Theology    Who has published a book on his findings and comments.  Eminent theologians, academics  and philosophers    have favourably reviewed its findings.    That full book is available on the web-site:  http://homepage.ihug.co.nz/~cocks                                                                        I
