We are immortal beings. We never stop living. When we are awake, we live the physical life we came to Earth to experience. When we are sleeping, the body rests and we, as Spirit, rise up and go on to live, for a little while, the Spiritual life, which is our true life. Our earthly existence is composed of two modes of living. When we are awake, functioning in the physical body, we obey the physical laws of gravity. We are not able to move around as freely as we would like. The weight of our physical body and the slow vibrations of the material world restrict our movements and impair our latent spiritual capabilities. When we sleep we free ourselves from the ties that bind us to the physical body and to physical reality. Gravity loses its grip and we take flight, and for a while we regain our natural freedom. We take a break from physical life and return to the nonphysical or Spiritual realms for a few hours. Our nightly dreams are signs of the continuity of our life and our immortality. Even if our body is knocked out cold in bed, we are alive and quite busy. We, as Spirit, are independent of our physical body. Awake, we use the body to function in physical reality, which requires a coarser instrument to interact with other physical things. As Spirit, we are free. One day, sooner for some and later for others, the physical body will die and we will be free much longer than just a few hours every night. We will continue living; we will continue being our own selves, our own individuality albeit as Spirit, in a subtler nonphysical reality, which is nothing more than a finer dimension within our own physical world. Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are glimpses of our future nonphysical life. As we sleep and dream every night we are preparing ourselves for the ultimate OBE that will befall each one of us when our body dies. Learning to become aware when we are out of the body, which happens to all of us every night, will afford us greater control and enjoyment both in our nightly excursions as we sleep and after the final OBE when our earthly journey is over. Now let's see how we can do it.

The Near Death Experience or N.D.E. is becoming the most talked about phenomenon of the 21st century. All over the world people experience life threatening events on a daily basis, and having been resuscitated, they often report that they experience tunnels, light, beautiful surroundings, spiritual guides, deceased loved ones, other beings, a life review, increased universal knowledge, oneness, unconditional love, and the decision to return to the body. The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) has been reporting on these experiences for 15 years, and it provides a forum the people that have them. God's Fingerprints: Impressions of Near Death Experiences is an anthology of NDE's that will leave the reader, enlightened, uplifted, challenged, and importantly it may provide us information on what happens when we die, and how if affects us while we live.

Stay or Go offers compelling insights into the Near-Death Experience. Given the same situation, would you have stayed on earth or returned to the heavenly realm? If you want to alter or become an active participant in your destiny, this book will enhance and deepen your understanding of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and transformation. What encounters with the angels would change the way you think of life and death? You may be transformed from a person who was searching for spirituals truths into a person who lives by spiritual truths. Would you like to live life fearlessly? Within these pages, you'll see how Carolyn awakened and took control of her destiny. Are you the master of your destiny?

In Manogue's latest book, Bed, Bosh, and Beyond, he takes us a step further in the process of how we live our lives. Here, we confront the ultimate challenge - death - and we are introduced to Rob, a man who has lived life on his own terms, died, and is brought through a life review whereby he sees segments of his life interspersed with commentary from his afterlife guide played by none other than his hero, George Carlin. Through reflection and insight into behavioral patterns and attitudes expressed throughout his life, Rob comes to a full awareness of the unity of all life regardless of its multiplicity in expression. As readers, we are given an opportunity to reflect upon our own lives and how our attitudes shape us and confine us. Bed, Bosh, and Beyond is in actuality a primer for living...and as we share in his story, we can reshape our own.

This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Bo, one of twenty-four striking sisters cloned from older sister Megan, is able to revisit history in person, finding answers to well-known mysteries and discovering what the Sphinx of Giza holds in a hidden chamber deep within. 'The Light of Ra is a living thing - an encoded light language that views your present, past and future lives, holding energy documentation of every human being since time first began.' Through the Light of Ra Bo discovers the astounding phenomenon of reality beyond human reality. In this nonphysical dimension, she perceives her whole self, and travels between her past and future lives. She learns that she can choose her next life-path, choose her parents and the circumstances in which she will live, discovering her final as being the most incredible and wondrous incarnation on Earth. In Between the After is a gripping story that supports New Age beliefs, and suggests a true account of metaphysical reality. A real page-turner.

The fear of death has possessed most of us at one time or another, sometimes in a moment of crisis, at other times in a moment of silent thought. But what if we had answers to the mysteries surrounding the afterlife? Would that fear be alleviated? Could we find some solace in that knowledge? And, most importantly, might we live our lives differently? "Back to the Afterlife" demystifies one of humanity's greatest enigmas, and, in doing so, helps us gain a new perspective on the lives we lead today. Using scientific research, kabalistic sources, and other references in Judeo-Christian philosophy, the book explores the soul's travels, from thirty days before dying through the actual transition, as well as the various stations along its journey. None of the ancient or even more modern religious or secular texts delineate this journey in step-by-step detail. For the first time ever, this book does just that in an accessible and fascinating way. Reading this text will illuminate the soul's continued journey, and bring hope, comfort, and understanding to those wracked by fear of death or dealing with a crippling loss. One's impression of life and its inevitable end will be forever changed.

Winner in the 2010 Green Book Festival, 1st place for Interactive/electronic books. Instructions for receiving a free copy of the interactive version are included with purchase of this print edition. This is a complex novel that weaves elements of fact & fiction, but at it's core the author sums it this: "Love's story of a nameless man, his appointed rhapsodist & their charge to extend agape love to the entire biogeochemical realm that it may be saved." The story extends from the author's true clinical death experience. He said "Birth & death we all have in common & in them is no choice. However, in my death I saw the imminent death of all life on earth as a choice that was being made by humankind." Ways to reverse this cycle were also revealed. He published this data on his websites but thought he wasn't reaching enough fast enough. So, he turned to his past as a writer to create a book intended to return drama to its past purpose as a positive motivator of human behavior. If humans weren't responding to science showing their continued consumption habits could equal their extinction, perhaps they'd respond to a dramatization of their mass murder. Here's the story: The inconvenient truth is that there's an invisible enemy pushing earth into the 11th hour. But fear not, for fear is the weapon this enemy uses to hack into your consciousness, log onto your thoughts & boot-up the suicide program that has earth cycling toward death. But a new kind of hero is being downloaded to delete the enemy & abort the murder of humankind. Can one stranger save the world? 19th Annual Writer's Digest Book Awards Judge's commentary on Apocalypse Near: "The writing resonates with this author's passion for speculative fiction and his compassion for the human experience with all of its ups and downs, especially in the area of collective consciousness. The author relates a thought-provoking tale while always keeping at the forefront the travails of putting one's heart on the line and making oneself vulnerable through acts of heroism. An insightful story showing strength of character and personal growth. The narrator and other characters are, individually and together, certainly strong enough to carry the narrative, which prompts the reader's interest in always wanting to know what will happen next."

A lineage of personal development and evolution into unusual dimensions of perception and awareness including Kundalini, Yoga, AiKiDo, Dreaming, and other spontaneous experiences. These tales might be very helpful to any other person having similar experiences.

Charmaine Addresses something that comes to us all, and to all our loved ones, and which we are very ill equipped to handle; death, the end of life, or the passing from one state, which we know, to another, which we cannot know. A near death expereince, and the existence and reality of these expereinces is well attested and undoubted, is a great and impressive glimpse behind the veil, and into another, truer reality than that of every day. Charmaine has the ability to communicate, and her writing is clear and lucid. She deals sensitively and perceptively with what can be a difficult subject. Behind her veil, is a brighter, vibrant, living truth. From her journey she has brought back much of value, a golden treasure, and she shares this . Many of us would dearly wish to pierce, however little, the veil that hides us from other worlds, and to see what else is there. This book is one that helps us understand a little more the strange ways of creation.

A new consciousness is emerging on planet earth. Huge swathes of the human population are waking up to the incredible truth of who and what we really are. And now the next pieces of the jigsaw reveal a power in each of us way beyond our wildest imaginings... the power of our SUPERSOUL. In the latter decades of the twentieth century a degree of spiritual consensus emerged. It centred around the idea that we all have a soul that survives our physical death; that lives many lives to gain a rich variety of experience; and that will at some point have overcome the multitude of challenges the human experience has to offer, and move on to grow in other ways in other realms. Some have taken a different tack and focussed more on ideas of illusion and addiction, but arguably their influence has remained more on the fringe. This worldview has served us well as the tide of the new consciousness has gathered momentum. But what if it only scratches the surface of an underlying reality that is far more complex and intriguing? The clues have been available, scattered here and there, for decades. In Robert Monroe's pioneering journeys out of his body, when he met with supreme intelligences that he eventually realized were only 'other aspects of himself'. In Jane Roberts' seminal Seth channelings, which revealed that he and she were part of the same 'oversoul'. And in the widely channelled messages from the 'group entity' Michael, who describe 'themselves' as comprised of many individual 'soul fragments'. All these sources remain hugely popular, yet somehow the vital clues they left for us have remained somewhat overlooked. But now they can be pulled together into a worldview potentially enhanced by scientists who propose a fundamentally holographic and digital reality. A radical worldview that opens up huge new possibilities for us all as we collectively pioneer the most radical change in human consciousness ever witnessed on planet earth.

Get ready to have fun exploring the astral realms

From the Introduction:

..". this book is being written for the beginner practitioner. I will assume your knowledge of the subject is limited and will thus offer a simple, step-by-step guide to leaving the body. Although 'astral projection' is often used as a catch-all term for any conscious activity occurring outside the body, throughout this work I will make a clear distinction between etheric projections and astral projections (etheric projections being the most common, at least for me).

"By applying the same techniques I use, I believe that anyone can achieve the out-of-body state on a regular basis and with their full critical faculties intact. Surely if I can do it, you can do it ("if you really want it"). It is only a matter of conditioning, allowing yourself to see the 'door' that you never noticed, to realize the freedom that you never knew you had -- to edge pass the threshold and beyond matter."

About the Author

Foreword:

Brighter than the twinkling stars in the sky, and yet softer than the wool on a baby lamb, the light of God will be upon us in the next life too. Abundantly so with goodness, and much to our delight, we will hardly be grasping it entirely, unless one has been immersed into and has experienced the connecting light while fully maximized. The fear of passing away should no longer exist in our mind. Complicated thinking is all that it is. Just as simple as knowing there is love in the afterlife, that is where our heart and soul belongs. Travel to heaven in the highway of your mind. It is very safe lifting a yielding conscious to achieve exceptional knowledge within the spirit world.

Author [self] bio:

Greg Belter is an Illinois native, who since at an early age has shown serious interest in the spirit world. Visiting the hereafter is a natural occurrence for him, from the grandiose out of body experiences, to the most splendid heavenly visions each and every day. His words are golden.

When twenty-one year old Vancouver bookkeeper Laurel Phelan was suddenly beseiged by detailed, violent nightmares of Dark Age Britain, she was frightened enough to seek help. With the help of past life regression, Laurel arrived at a shocking discovery: she had been Guinevere in a past life - A Guinevere so different than the legendary frail queen of Camelot. Laurel travelled back in time to make peace with the woman she once was. As her life flows into Guinevere's we discover the true woman - a ravishing fierce warrior, beautiful, charismatic and dedicated to protecting her people from invaders. Guinevere didn't need to emulate men to be powerful. The true path to potency, creativity and love is to draw on the secret depths of our feminine selves. Guinevere's profound insights resonate dramatically in the lives of women today. "Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, the story of the legendary Guinevere is a beautifully remarkable tale that will leave you breathless for more...Magnificent..." -Cheryl Kravetz, The Lake Worth Herald (FL) "Guinevere presents an intriguing case of coming to terms with the soul's karmic debt...Genuinely engrossing and wonderfully enjoyable." - NAPRA Review "Guinevere is a challenging concept and an intriguing story." - Ellen McGeagh, The Oakland Press (MD)

Death: The one thing every living thing must eventually confront. This is one of the core life functions over which we have almost no control beyond perhaps being able to postpone the inevitable through healthy living and modern medicine. Death is essential to make room for new life. We are recycled stardust, and our atoms will go on to nourish other living creatures and be put to many other uses throughout the cosmos. In that sense we are immortal... but what about our egos, that which makes each of us a "me"? Do we survive physical death? This book examines many sources of evidence, including mysticism, religion, philosophy, paranormality, physics, cosmology, and neurology to arrive at a startling conclusion that will both affirm and challenge your beliefs about what happen s when we die. As you will learn, those who say that this lifetime is all we get and that everything "fades to black" when we die are correct in many ways... as are those who claim that we do in fact survive physical death and continue on. You will learn how these and other seemingly opposing views are all correct in their own way... and how they coalesce into a logically coherent and self-explanatory vision of a Universe that is truly miraculous in both form and function.

Exploring Reincarnation examines the full range of explanations for past-life recall. This definitive study includes case histories from around the world, as well as intriguing theories about the relationship between body and soul - from general social beliefs about past lives to detailed questions about karma and past-life regression therapy. An outstanding introduction to reincarnation from a historical, scientific, and philosophical point of view. Exploring Reincarnation is the now classic panorama on reincarnation ideas and experiences.

In Explorations in Consciousness, Frederick Aardema, a clinical researcher, provides a profound, in-depth account of the out-of-body experience, during which the explorer of consciousness is able to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

In his quest for knowledge, the author seamlessly weaves in his own travels into different fields of consciousness. These include experiences in the personal field, where he is confronted with the constructs of his own psyche, as well as visitations to collective fields of consciousness that appear to have an independent existence beyond the eye of the beholder.

Highly original and groundbreaking, Explorations in Consciousness presents a model of reality in which nothing can ever be taken for granted. It proposes that consciousness is embedded within a wider field of possibilities that become real depending on our interaction with the world around us.

Regardless of what you believe about the out-of-body state, this book will challenge and excite you to become an explorer of consciousness. It provides you with all the tools you need for your own journey.

This is a true story of what I saw, and what I did when I passed over to the other side and came back. It is my belief that my near death experience and what I learned from it will help others face what none of us can escape when we reach the end of our lives.
