No Beginning . . . No End: A Cardiologist Discovers There Is No Such Thing as Death

"A brilliant cardiologist, Dr. Terry Gordon has spent the better part of his adult life smack-dab in the middle of crises. He has been right there, often working feverishly throughout the night without any sleep, simply doing what he vowed to do when he took the Hippocratic oath. He is an accomplished member of the healing profession and someone I admire very much. Dr. Gordon is a dedicated man who has been in awe of the heart and its majestic role in our lives. I love him like a brother, with all of my heart."

- Dr. Wayne Dyer, New York Times bestselling author, internationally acclaimed self-help expert, motivational speaker, and famed PBS host.

It was during an open-heart operation that renowned Cleveland Clinic trained cardiologist, Dr. Terry Gordon cradled in his hands a patient's beating heart. Feeling the pulsating contractions, he marveled at how this vital organ knew when to beat. Mesmerized by its rhythm, Dr. Gordon knew in that miraculous moment, the heart somehow conveyed its connection to the Source of all creation.

During a medical career that spanned over a quarter century, Dr. Gordon discovered many astounding truths. One of the most profound lessons came to him one evening while reading EKGs. During the process, he realized each heart has a unique signature of energy. Every electrical impulse emanating from each beating heart, whether human or belonging to a dragonfly becomes as much a part of the cosmos as the most powerful photons emitted from the largest stars. Even though many of those stars died millions of years ago, their eternal essence continues as the twinkling light we observe as their energy traverses through the Universe heading in our direction. The heart's electrical imprint is like that of the stars; it never ceases to be. It was in this profound moment of awakening, that Dr. Gordon first acknowledged the epiphany: There is no such thing as death.

For many, the sum of our greatest fears arises from facing our demise. Much of the angst stems from the uncertainty of not knowing for sure what awaits us on the other side of life.

In his new book, No Beginning . . . No End, Dr. Gordon explores many perplexing facets of death, encouraging the reader to embrace death not as something frightening, but as a natural corollary of life.

A recognized cardiologist and internationally acclaimed author who was named the American Heart Association's National Physician of the Year 2002, Dr. Gordon is no stranger to death. Having witnessed over 1,000 people die, he was able to observe from a unique vantage point many patients as they transitioned to the next phase of life. His book provides a marvelous understanding of immortality with insights that will forever change the reader's view of life--and death.

Dr. Gordon shares his truth that dying is not the end of life, it's quite the opposite. In No Beginning . . . No End, he shares that what is often referred to as 'death', is actually the continuation of life manifested in the form of Soul. According to the author, through the process of becoming familiar with death, our partner in life, we are able to learn everything there is to know about death, and in doing so, it becomes our friend. With such awareness, dying can be one of the most exhilarating transitions of our lives.

"Death is merely the launch vehicle of yet another episode of the journey back to the Master of Creation. It is the moment we should prepare for our entire lives."
