The Afterlife Revealed by Michael Tymn.  In "The Afterlife Revealed", Michael Tymn sets forth some of the most credible messages from the spirits relative to the nature of their world. Instead of a heaven-hell dichotomy, we are told that there are many levels, or as Jesus is quoted, "many mansions," and that we cross over to the "other side" based on what might be called a "moral specific gravity." We discover a Divine plan - one of attainment and attunement, of gradual spiritual growth, of evolution of spirit through progressively higher planes. We see how we are really souls occupying bodies rather than bodies housing souls and how our souls are progressing in finding their way back to Oneness with the Creator through the challenges, the adversities, the trials and tribulations offered us in a particular lifetime.
 

IN UNEXPECTED PLACES, Death and dying, building up a picture  by Ray Brown, o-books ISBN 978-1-84694-418-5, April 2011.  No one religion or religious movement has the monopoly of Truth. Truth can  be found in all religions and in science - even in other places, often unexpectedly. Among those expected and unexpected places that his book talks of are age-old African beliefs that speak of a body that is not the physical body; an ancient Mesopotamian epic which tells a tale of death and immortality; old Tibetan and Chinese writings which talk of the importance of nothingness; the behavior of electrons separated by vast distances; the tales of people who have come back from a death-like experience after a heart attack or an accident; a Moslem philosopher of the 12th century who ponders the possibility of  an afterlife in a non-physical environment; the logic and depth of the Kabbala; the mysticism of the Upanishads, of Jalal-Ud-Din Rumi and Saint John of the Cross. All of these are the matter of this book. And all of them talk, in one way or another, of an existence after our death.

Live From The Other Side by Maureen McGill & Nola Davis. Angel books and ghost stories have intrigued readers for years. Live From the Other Side is more than stories of visits from Aunt Edna or Uncle Roy. It contains real experiences of people who have validated this universal connection with deceased loved ones. Included are stories about moving towards resolution after death: experiences during death watches; visits from deceased family members; visits from people who have become messengers. In short these are stories about resolving grief and finding ways to become aware of the other side. At the same time the content demystifies death and after-life experiences.  Also available in Kindle.

A Benevolent Virus by Frances O'Brien.  What happens when we die? And what happens to those of us who are propelled into the strange reality of a near death experience? How do we re-integrate into the world when our understanding of reality has been turned upside-down? A Benevolent Virus follows the intertwining stories of two NDE survivors who struggle to make sense of their lives in the wake of an NDE. Ann Richards, a successful television reporter is faced with the breakdown of her marriage and her career as she struggles to get to the truth of her experience. Daniel Breton, an ex-Marine who was near-fatally injured in Fallujah, tries to find meaning in his NDE by recording the stories of others who have had similar experiences. Both Ann and Daniel are set on a spiritual adventure that forces them each to explore ideas of consciousness and the quantum universe that challenge their old worldview.

The Bartholomew Effect Author Larry Vorwerk writes about his personal awakening, “Oneness develops more through spiritual maturity and a sincere readiness to explore a deeper purpose...”  More than a book of experiences, The Bartholomew Effect: Awakening to Oneness becomes a foundation for “Oneness in Action.” Not only will you discover your purpose and how you are connected in love to all living things, you will want to share your newfound awareness with others. The simple, yet profound act of sharing lets you see Oneness even more clearly and deepens your relationship with the Divine. I have had other multidimensional experiences that would probably be somewhat similar to NDEs. These include experiences of Oneness, and life after life, (meaning life after being in the cycle of being human.)  I describe them in my new book: "The Bartholomew Effect: Awakening to Oneness" where you can read more about them at my website: www.awakeningtooneness.com.

Making Sense of Near-Death Experiences   by Mahendra Perrera, Karuppiah Jagadheesan and Anthony Peake.  A near-death experience (NDE) is a phenomenon whereby powerful physical and emotional sensations and visions are experienced by someone who is either close to death or has been declared clinically dead. This is an accessible guide to the theory and evidence underlying the phenomenon of NDEs. With contributions from leading international experts in the field, it provides an overview of the research into NDEs, the nature of NDEs and how they have been experienced around the world, and the physiological, psychological and medical bases of the phenomenon. This book also discusses children's NDEs, NDEs from a religious perspective, the role of light in NDEs, the assessment and management of NDEs, and the future of research into the phenomenon. This essential handbook will provide all those who may encounter someone who has had an NDE with the knowledge and understanding they need, including nurses, doctors, palliative care workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and pastoral workers.

NDE NDE et expériences mystiques d'hier et d'aujourd'huiy by Danielle Vermeulen.  L'Expérience de Mort Imminente (EMI) - ou Near Death Experience (NDE) selon la terminologie américaine - est devenue en l'espace de quelques années un objet scientifique enfin reconnu. Il n'en a pas été toujours ainsi dans le monde occidental, pour lequel une approche scientifique de la Mort restait taboue. Cet ouvrage, qui a fait l'objet d'une thèse d'Anthropologie Sociale et de Sociologie Comparée, s'attache à étudier des récits venus d'autres lieux et d'autres temps tout en les comparant aux témoignages contemporains. Les outils conceptuels fournis par l'ensemble des sciences humaines permettent aujourd'hui d'étudier objectivement les contours de ces expériences, qu'elles soient contemporaines ou qu'elles aient été décrites par les Égyptiens anciens, les 'das log du Tibet ou les mystiques occidentaux du Moyen Age. L'auteur peut ainsi en déterminer la dimension anthropologique et mettre en évidence l'impact individuel et social que ces expériences jouent par la suite pour ceux qui les ont vécues et pour ceux qui s'y intéressent. Sans conteste, atteindre les rivages de la mort et revenir parmi les vivants n'est certainement pas une expérience personnelle anodine, ni socialement neutre...

Fringe-ology by Steve Volk    From his journey into the bizarre, Volk returns with a compelling argument that we need to allow for a middle space, a place where paranormal phenomena can be weird and compelling; raise crucial questions; and, quite possibly, remain unexplainable. He rejects the polarized options the twenty-first century seems to offer us: to passionately embrace or hotly reject, to revere only science or only spirituality. And he underscores, again and again, that by raising our most existential questions—why are we here, are we alone in the universe, and what happens when we die?—paranormal stories are in fact a crucial point of connection. It turns out that these “fringe” experiences strike at the core of what it means to be human.

Life After Death: A Study of the Afterlife in World Religions - By Farnaz Masumian, a professor who teaches about World Religions at the University of Texas at Austin. One of the most important features of the book is that, in discussing afterlife, she quotes "chapter and verse" from the sacred texts of each religion. Each chapter focusing on a religion includes the major writings of the religion, the primary concepts that relate to afterlife, the influence and/or similarities of that religion in relationship to other religions.

The book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born by Robert Schwartz (www.yoursoulsplan.com) explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four gifted mediums and channels. The book presents the actual conversations people had with their future parents, children, spouses, friends, and other loved ones when they planned their lives together. For readers, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.

Beginner’s Guide to Conscious Dying - By Diane Goble is an introduction to the practice of the Art of Conscious Dying into the Clear Light based on ancient beliefs brought up-to-date by modern near-death experience reports.

During our transition, we transform ourselves into our spiritual form and return to our spiritual home wrapped in the arms of unconditional love and acceptance. Whether you are nearing death, a caregiver or just want to prepare yourself for your graduation from the University of Life on Earth, this is your guidebook to achieving a peaceful transition.

Hear His Voice, by Nancy Clark,  Marvelous review by William W. Hoover, M.D. Click Here. You don’t have to die, nearly die, or suffer any physical trauma or illness in order to have the identical experience to what is currently called a near-death experience. A normal, healthy and fully conscious person can transcend time and space and enter a spiritual realm of existence so profound that nothing is ever the same again. Nancy Clark is living proof of this. Similar to a near-death experience and what the Apostle Paul experienced on the road to Damascus, a brilliant illuminating Light transformed Clark’s life as she was delivering a eulogy. The Light called her to a life of service to share the message of unconditional love, forgiveness, and grace. Profoundly inspiring, Hear His Voice offers a glimpse of a modern day miracle and the reassurance that we do not walk alone. Could it be that a Divine Loving Voice is trying to get humanity’s attention during these turbulent days to bring hope and peace to all who seek spiritual nourishment? Hear His Voice guides us in our search for inner peace and a meaning to life through the revelations gleaned from Nancy Clark’s personal mystical experience. A must-read!   Click here to go to Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Hear-His-Voice-Mystical-Encounter/dp/1413765319/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202222761&sr=8-1

A Night in Heaven by Albert Haust The Author describes his night in heaven experience and other experiences that helped him grow spiritually. As he went through this process he overcame lower back, upper back and neck pain through psychological and spiritual means. He made contact with his higher self and spirit guidance. He overcame his fear of unfriendly spirits. He found that spiritual growth isn't about overcoming the "supposed" illusion of an individual self, but rather about becoming a soul who is able to live according to unconditional love.

Oracle of Compassion: The Living Word of Kuan Yin  and Beneficial Law of Attraction: the Manifestation Teachings  by Hope Bradford.  Oracle of compassion -This powerful book on the Kuan Yin prophecies and spiritual teachings is an updated version of the spiritual classic: "The Living Word of Kuan Yin: The Teachings and Prophecies of the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy". According to Kuan Yin, earth is the most important step in our evolution where we, as limitless beings, achieve physical manifestation in all of its complexities; where beliefs, intentions and desires are the driving forces for reality. Compassion at the level personified by Kuan Yin is not some luxury sentiment that might be expressed towards others at the appropriate moment. Indeed, it is at the very core of our survival. Beneficial Law of Attraction - An ancient deity speaks on the law of attraction saying, "You create your whole world from your thoughts" and "The universe will bring whatever one wants." These theorems on Kuan Yin's law of attraction teachings, as channeled by Lena Lees, focus on specific expansive beliefs that can magnetize both personal and mass beneficial realities.

"Zayis Raanan: The Gift of the Fresh Olive." by Shabse Werther.   My son, Sholom B'nayahu, was killed in a hit and run accident on October 5, 2009. Shortly before he died, he shared an interesting metaphor with us that connected Zayis Raanan (Hebrew: fresh olive) with the destiny of the Jewish People. My response to him was that the metaphor can be used for a person, not just a nation. There is a system, called gimatriya, that links each Hebrew letter with a number value. Over the course of eighteen months after Sholom's death, I found numerous examples of how the gimatriya of both Zayis Raanan AND Sholom's unusual full name in various Biblical passages. Taken together, they spelled out Sholom's life and ultimate destiny.

The Art of Death Midwifery: An Introduction and Beginner’s Guide, by ordained interfaith minister Joellyn St. Pierre, is a compelling and comprehensive1 manual for family, clergy, hospice volunteers, or medical staff engaged in the field of death and dying. In this poetic and powerful book, the author reminds us that society has thrown a veil of mystery over the process of death, thereby depriving the dying from the dignified and fearless departure they so deserve. Based on the tenet that death is neither the enemy nor a finite state, St. Pierre gives all helpmates the necessary tools to become a death midwife. That is, someone capable of acting as a spiritual guide as the dying transition from this life into what awaits them after death. Unlike many books on death and dying, this guide is leading-edge, based on the author’s long experience both in lay and clergy. It is a sensitive and lyrical reminder that the dying deserve to feel empowered as they leave this life. About the Author Joellyn St. Pierre, D.Div., is a former Broadway performer. An ordained interfaith minister, St. Pierre earned a Doctorate in Divinity with a focus on Death as a Transition. Since 1991, she has served as a death midwife with AIDS organizations, hospices, hospitals, and families.

Practicing Conscious Living and Dying:  Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness by Annamaria Hemingway.  An uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and powerfully thought- provoking real life stories, showing death as an integral part of life. Every interaction with death, dying and bereavement involves entering the painful world of grief and suffering, but at the same time, we are given the opportunity to emerge from the experience with a sense of awe, and a greater insight into the mystery of creation.  Modern medical advances have resulted in death and dying becoming a taboo, which leaves us feeling isolated when the inescapability of death touches our lives. These touching observations of closeness to someone else who is dying, and personal accounts of near death experiences and after-death communication, illustrate how coming to terms with the inevitability of death is actually a life-affirming experience. These emotionally powerful and inspirational experiences address timeless questions and show how each of the people has come to understand that death teaches us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of our existence.  Click here for more information

Is There Life After Death? by Anthony Peake.  The book is an expansion on the theory I proposed in an article published in the Winter 2004 edition of the IANDS Journal. Entitled Cheating The Ferryman - A New Paradigm of Existence? this proposed a radically new interpretation of the whole NDE phenomenon. The book takes this theory and supports it with a vast amount of evidence taken from the fields of quantum physics, neurology, psychiatry, psychology and consciousness studies. However as always with such a subject there is also a theological angle — but not the expected one. I use some very interesting writings of the second century AD schismatic Christian group known as The Gnostics to support the theory. My approach is rigidly scientific and as such it is this sectiohttp://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=fringe-ology&x=0&y=0_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=fringe-ology&x=0&y=0as shown most interest.

My Self, My Soul -  E-book by James deBar. An exploration into our human and spiritual journeys through intimate dialogue between the Self and the Soul at the time of death. During an NDE deBar experienced his ‘Soul without encumbrance of the Self’ which provided a ‘clarity and knowing’. “My Self, My Soul” is a manifestation of his reaching back to that pure state, and through dialogue with his Soul, deBar explores complex questions only the Soul could answer. From the examination of consciousness, to the exploration of mortality, the answers that emerge are the profound expressions of one Soul’s wisdom . . . a pure energy that, deBar maintains, exist in each one of us.

Hypnotic Use of Waking Dreams: Exploring Near Death Experiences Without the Flatlines by Paul W. Schenk.  People who undergo near death experiences often have profound and life changing experiences. It is as if the whole of their life has been put into focus and they can see relationships, experiences, and their hopes and dreams in a completely new light. Now Paul Schenk shows you how you can help clients experience some of the life-changing benefits of a near death experience without the life-threatening cardiovascular crisis. With full length annotated case transcripts, you will learn how to do this and explore the many other things you can do with hypnotically facilitated waking dreams.  The therapeutic usefulness of dream interpretation is deeply rooted in psychotherapy. The Hypnotic Use of Waking Dreams bypasses the controversy associated with past life therapy, i.e that if reincarnation doesn’t exist, neither can past life therapy. It provides a much more traditional approach to understanding and utilizing the kinds of chemical experiences that occur with this interactive approach to hypnotically facilitated dream-like imagery. Dr. Shenk integrates classic teachings on dream interpretation and trauma treatment with decades of published work on near death experiences. The resulting applications to a variety of presenting clinical problems are demonstrated with extensive case transcripts. The therapeutic use of waking dreams is independent of both the clinician’s and the client’s beliefs about reincarnation because the dream content can be understood as being just good fiction as it is in classical dream analysis.

Life after Death by Alan Bryson.  A reader made me aware of your amazing website and suggested I contact you. In 1993 I wrote a book entitled, "Light After Death" that explores the uncanny similarities of the NDE and the teachings of the Baha'i Faith on life after death. The hardcover was reprinted and two revised paperback editions were published in 1997 and 2003. All my royalties are donated to charity, so this isn't about commerce. In fact, I have a free online version of the book  http://home.arcor.de/unity9/LightAfterDeath.html  I noticed on your site that you have some quotations from the Baha'i Writings and also mention the Baha'i book, "Thief in the Night".     Click here to go to Amazon.com
