The millions of Americans who've had a near-death experience, and
the millions more who continue to read such accounts, may feel as
if the question of life after death has been answered. We
experience a life review, a white light, a tunnel, a greeting from
loved ones who've made the journey before, and so on. But are these
near-death accounts really an accurate portrayal of the afterlife,
and, more importantly, do they indeed tell the whole story?
Leland approaches the great question from several different
perspectives, including our modern scientific research on the
subject, afterlife reports from near-death experiencers, and his
own vivid adventures in consciousness. He also integrates the
afterlife views of various wisdom traditions including the Egyptian
and Tibetan Books of the Dead, the dialogues of Plato, and the
writings of 18th-century Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg.
What does he find? Leland's striking conclusion is that while
these near-death reports are accurate, they are merely the tip of
the iceberg of what awaits us in the afterlife, and that those who
die knowing only of death from these reports may be wholly
unprepared to make that ultimate voyage.
-- A lucid panorama of the afterlife for a generation of Americans
beginning to reflect on their own mortality
-- Much like the Tibetan Book of the Dead, can be read as an
initiation to prepare us for life on the other side
-- Alternating chapters tie Leland's own mystical adventures in
consciousness with his scholarly review of how our modern view of
death matches those of ancient cultures
