The Wisdom of Jacobs Ladder


With all great leaders who find connection through life events and signs from the Universe, Jacob Cooper demonstrates lessons learned when he encountered a near-death experience (NDE) as a child climbing a playground ladder. The result is a transformational guide that provides tenants and wisdom of each rung of the ladder, just like Jacob from the Bible, as he fled from his brother Esau. Upon applying these tenets, one can be reminded that they do not have to wait to get to Heaven to see the light that is within themselves; the inner light is omnipresent. Follow Jacob’s journey as he teaches lessons from his NDE, shares his wisdom from the hereafter, and rediscovers his own inner light, soul purpose, and how to be of service to others.

Jacob Cooper’s book, “The Wisdom of Jacob’s Ladder” provides a guide to finding different ways to view and live life. Cooper mixes his deep spirituality as well as his knowledge of human psychology as he looks at people as sacred beings who are engaging, experiencing and responding to every day life. He asserts that we are not “doing” but “being.” In line with this  thought, he astutely defines the word “wisdom” as a higher awareness in our everyday lives; wisdom is not seen as something that we learn outside of ourselves but rather it is apart of our natural instinct to who we are and how we see life. He espouses the idea that we do not have to wait until our physical bodies die (because he assets that our souls live on) to feel joy and a connection to God, but rather we can feel it while we are alive. Cooper says that we do not have to wait until we die to feel full of life, but rather to feel it while we walk this earth. He contends that “being truly alive is awakening from the dream of being separate from the light on the other side and connecting to it in all that we do.”

“The Wisdom of Jacob’s Ladder,” is a wonderful book that teaches people how to see the sacred inside themselves and truly live their lives though open eyes.
