Introduction

There are more things in Heaven and Earth,
Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
-- Shakespeare, Hamlet

A renewed fascination for discovering the spiritual world has recently created controversy, curiosity, and fresh credibility in all aspects of the afterlife. There are many who claim not only to communicate with this numinous place, but to have visited its frontiers and returned to tell the tale. Even sceptics wonder at the miraculous healing powers that seem to emanate from this spiritual realm, fascinated by the accounts of those who have had some kind of experience there.

But what exactly is the afterlife? If you are reading this book, then you either already believe in its "existence" and want to know more, or are curious, ready to take a leap into the light. Throughout history, most civilizations and cultures have believed in the afterlife. Some peoples "know" their spirit guides and speak to nature spirits or have recounted tales of journeys into spiritual dimensions or contact with ancestors. Whether from a religious, esoteric, or philosophical viewpoint, more and more people are beginning to revive the belief in reincarnation, recollection of past lives, and the experience of the soul's journey.

This book outlines many of these beliefs in the afterlife, from ancient myths and religions to contemporary spiritual faiths. There is also a chapter that explains how the scientific community has taken part in the search for evidence of the afterlife, and the book also reveals the role of contemporary spiritual practices.

If you are interested in yourself, you are interested in the afterlife. With practical work and step-by-step exercises for healing and afterlife contact, this book gives you the tools you need to unlock its secrets.
