Synopsis

Age-old African beliefs about a body that is not the physical body; an ancient Mesopotamian epic with a hidden message about life and death; old Tibetan and Chinese writings on the importance of nothingness; tales of those who have come back from a death-like experience after a heart attack or accident. These, along with what the major faiths tell us about an existence after death, are the focus of this book. The author's search in often unexpected places provides insights into the nature of consciousness after death, the structure of our being, the meaning of time and space and the inevitability of suffering as well as of goodness. Through this book we will be better equipped to come to terms with the deaths of those dear to us, and also with our own death.

About this title

About the Author:

Review:

'A most unique book, delving into that most taboo of subjects, death. The author takes you on a journey to 'self', to the essence of you, but from an unsual perspective - from end to beginning, rather than from beginning to end. In this way, any possible fear of death is replaced with a sense of 'circle', and 'naturalness', and a knowing that all things are connected.' --Jenny Smedley, best-selling author of Soul Angels
