Near-Death Experiences: Afterlife Journeys and Revelations - Hardcover

by Jim Willis (Author)

Thousands, perhaps millions, of people have had near-death experiences (NDEs). Why do so many report uncannily similar experiences? What are they-a simple trick of the mind and body or something more? What are we to make of them, and do they tell us anything about the possibility of an afterlife?

An illuminating and thought-provoking journey into the enigmatic territory where science, spirituality, and human consciousness converge, Near Death Experiences: Afterlife Journeys and Revelations presents a comprehensive journey through different interpretations of NDEs:

The Scientific. What neuroscience, medicine, and biology have to say about what happens at the brink of death.

The Religious. What NDE-like experiences found in the Bible, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Talmud, the Quran, and other religious tracts tell us.

Historic and Personal. What folklore and personal stories reveal about this alternate consciousness that occurs during a life-threatening situation.

The Metaphysical. Possible answers involving quantum reality, parallel universes, and the subconscious.

Challenging you to explore all possibilities, Near Death Experiences will have you reconsidering your understanding of life, death, and consciousness! With more than 100 photos and graphics, this tome is richly illustrated. Its helpful bibliography provides sources for further exploration, and an extensive index adds to its usefulness.
