Migene González-Wippler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 8, 1951

There is a bumper sticker that goes "Exercise. Eat right. Die anyway." And unfortunately, that is the truth. It may be 100 years from now, but some day your physical body will die. But what about your mind? What about the part of you that holds your personality, your hopes and dreams, and your memories? Discover the truth about the afterlife in What Happens After Death by Migene Gonzalez-Wippler

For centuries, philosophers and scientists have investigated the mysteries of the afterlife. Discover the secrets about the electromagnetic nature of the mind, and how it continues to exist in the astral world even after the death of the body. Learn about scientific investigations conducted by individuals and at universities. Read about the "tunnel of light" phenomenon reported by survivors of near-death experiences.

If the mind of a person continues after death, is it possible to establish communication with it? It has been rumored that Thomas A. Edison was working on a device to accomplish this just before he died. Even though he didn't succeed, this book describes many people who have. Here you will learn about the history of the Spiritualist religion, including such people as Swedenborg, Home, the Fox sisters and Kardec. Finally, you'll discover some of the latest information about the mind as it continues past physical death.

The next part of the book was actually written by Kirkudian, a channeled being who spent several lives on Earth and reveals what life is like elsewhere.

If you have ever wondered what happens after death ó and before life ó you won't want to miss this book.

From the Publisher

As a result of many years of magical practices including astral projection, I've come to realize that the body and the mind are not the same thing. They are linked, but they can also be separated. The body can die but the mind, the very thing that really makes you who you are, will survive.

I'm certainly not the first person to have realized this. And you'll find out the history and scientific study of life after death in Migene Gonzalez-Wippler's What Happens After Death.

You'll discover what both ancient and modern thinkers had thought about the afterlife. You'll even learn about recent scientific discoveries in this field, including research conducted at universities by some of the most famous researchers of the past and present. The book also includes a section of channeled information about life between lives on earth.

Many people fear death. They see it as the end of existence. This is a book that gives hope and meaning to life. When you discover that death is both and end and a beginning, life takes on new hope and meaning.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Pure Bunk ! Why isn't there a "0" star rating?, June 2, 1999

This review is from: What Happens After Death: Scientific & Personal Evidence for Survival (Paperback)

I am greatly disappointed in this book.Its starts off very fascinating. The first chapters gives us the impression that this book is going to be a clear concise scientific look at the occult. I immediately became suspicious when in recounting the story of the Fox Sisters, who became famous at the beginning of the Spiritualist Movement, she failed to mention that they (the Fox's) were found to be frauds,and had perpetuated a great hoax. I figured out that the first few chapters were used to "lure" us into believing the pure "bunk" of the last few chapters dealing with an entity (probably of Ms. Gonzales imagination) named Kirkudian. Kirkudian is suppose to have been incarnated as many of the great scientists and religious leaders in our history, including ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI! Ms Gonzales just gives non-believers another reason to think that we new-agers are flakes and phoneys, which is not true. I believe in reincarnation, but I find this book very hard to swallow. Save your money, by pass this one. The only good thing I have to say for her is: Ms. Gonzales does not lack for an imagination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What Happens After Death: Scientific & Personal Evidence for Survival (Paperback)

Ms. Wippler's book was I must admit for the majority of the first half of it only skimmed the suface of what are the various religons views of the after life which was I realised later was to to allow thw reader to formulate links with the second half of the book dealing with the Spiritual entity Kirkudian.

The narrative of Kirkudian's story was what which found extremely thought provoking since his stories of various incarnations across the universe leads one to open his/her mind to the truly unimaginable masterplan of GOD. His incarnations on Earth (Terra) emphasised the link between spirituality of Chritianity ,Hinduism ,Bhuddism and the importance of recognising the fact that the the only true reality is that of the Spirit and the only thing that matters in this world or any other is our desire to find God. The material world continues to delude us , if we can see behind it our real eyes (spirit) will open and we shall behold the Truth that is only God .

I recommend all soul and life seekers to the divine writings of Parmahansa Yogananda founder of the Self-Realisation Fellowship.

Don,t give up your seach for life's meaning but do know all the answers lie within you, for it is in you that God dwells always .

5.0 out of 5 stars The most persuasive book on survival after death I have read, March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What Happens After Death: Scientific & Personal Evidence for Survival (Paperback)

This is the most persuasive book on the survival of the personality after death that I have read. I found the scientific evidence compelling, especially the research being conducted at Princeton and the Transcommunication evidence from people who have died and have contacted the living. The mystical aspects of the book are very convincing as well, especially the Second Part of the book with the story of an ascended master called Kirkudian, which is moving and thought-provoking. Some of the information supplied by Kirkudian on the existence of solar systems with multiple suns was later substantiated by astronomical findings reported in Scientific American. This was impressive to say the least. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and it left me with the feeling that we are not alone and that there are realities beyond our own that we can scarcely comprehend. I strongly recommend it to anyone with doubts about the meaning of life and the ultimate destinies of our souls. [e-mail]
