Hi George,
Yes, i've heard of this term "Book of life" and i believe it is also used in the Bible, and it refers to what Easterners haved called the "Akashic records".
I have read these during my dream state, some were other lives of mine where a wise older looking man hands me a book and when i open it, at first i see a 3D real like movie, and then i become immersed in it as if it was happening. Some were seeing the solar system and certain planetary configurations which had to do with the future. This is much like the "Big clock" concept that Bruce talks about in his 3rd book.
Someday, i hope to read the records consciously if it will benefit others and myself. I think Monroe's focus 15 is akin to the consciousness or energy where this info is stored in all its inherent potentials, probabilities, and actual playing out. Like Bruce's friend Dr. Wilson said, no time is not as accurate name as is "All time". Thats the way i look at it to, vast amounts of info we couldn't even begin to conceptulize how much....
In a very real sense, my perception is that we have never left God, but are simply convincing ourselves otherwise temporarily for some reason. But we must work at it to remember where we came from as we have convinced ourselves for so long, it is a natural tendenices for our souls to get caught up more in illusion than in reality.
Its a strange mix eh?
With Love
