This review is from: After We Die What Then (Paperback)

_It is strange how you can consider yourself well read on a subject and then suddenly become aware for the first time of a true classic on that subject. This is such a book. I am indebted to P.M.H. Atwater for citing it in her _We Live Forever_.

_The first of the five parts of this volume deals with the true nature and structure of both the human body and the worlds in which it functions. The human being is a multi-dimensional entity composed of physical, bioplasmic (etherial), astral, mind (subconscious, conscious, superconscious), and soul bodies or levels. Above all, it is hammered home that the brain is not the mind.

_The second section deals with the evidence of survival after physical death. Extremely good, succinct, descriptions are given of eleven types of evidence: 1) historical and religious writings, 2) death-bed, near-death, and out-of-body experiences, 3) apparitions, hauntings, and ghosts, 4) obsession and spirits, 5) spirit doctors, 6) spirit photographs, 7) materialism, 8) reincarnation, 9) space-time relationships, 10) conservation of matter and energy, and 11) communications through mediums and telepathic channels.

_Part three gives detailed descriptions of the interpenetrating planes of existence: the physical plane; the low, middle, and high astral planes; the mental-causal planes, the celestial planes, the cosmic God Head, the end of manifest creation, the void of pure consciousness, Nirvana, and beyond.

_ The fourth part gives 50 specific questions and answers to the system put forth. This includes the proven path for individual soul development (which agrees with the perennial philosophy and the core teachings of all the great religious founders.)

_Now, part five gives some truly mind-boggling examples of communication with the dead via electronic instrumentation. I had read Sherman's work years ago, but this goes far, far beyond. The heart of the historic O'Neil-Mueller communication is included.

_Not only did this book strike me as having the "ring of truth", but it verified so many of my own experiences and conclusions over the years. Perhaps that is why my "library angel" didn't point it out to me- it was to serve as independent verification.

_By the way, there should be a large, full-color teaching poster included in the back that clearly outlines the planes of existence and their nature. As for those people who smugly tell others that they will go to hell for disagreeing with their social and political dogma, well, it seems that the lowest astral planes are populated by greedy, resentful, unloving, self-centered people- often with dogmatic religious obsessions that fuel fear and hate...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Truth Seeker, October 1, 2003

This review is from: After We Die What Then (Paperback)

This is the best book I have ever read about life after death and more. This well researched and documented book provides concrete information on many things behind the veil, some I did not even know, even though I have been reading and have been interested in related subjects for quite a while. George Meek is a truth seeker and this book is testimony to his hard inquery. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Afterlife for Atheists, October 31, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: After We Die What Then (Paperback)

This book is hard to categorize. It's a kindly, non-gonzo description of an afterlife system that lacks a personal God, and from what I can tell draws heavily on the Theosphical tradition, even though it is supposedly inspired by direct communications through mediums with spirits from the Next World.

The author shows a great deal of empathy and the book is oddly comforting, even for a guy like me who believes in the whole Catholic Thing. If you know an atheist who's dying and starting to get nervous about it, this might be appropriate reading
