About this listen
• Provides a succinct account of the experience of transition to the “next life” and what one might expect when one arrives there
• Explains how materialism has prevented us from realizing a deeper understanding of the nature of space, time, life, death, and consciousness
Sharing his more than three decades of research into the afterlife and paranormal phenomena, award-winning documentary filmmaker Daniel Drasin shows that the continuity of human consciousness beyond the physical body and after death constitutes a legitimate area of scientific inquiry and that it can be objectively demonstrated.
Drasin begins by revealing how our belief in materialism—through its effects on our social norms, taboos, and even language—has deeply constrained our civilization’s understanding of the nature of space, time, life, death, and consciousness. However, as Drasin explains, our deeply ingrained cultural habits tied to materialism have begun to change. He explores 15 promising post-materialist scientific investigations currently underway, focusing in depth on three examples that offer the most objectively irrefutable evidence for the survival of consciousness, including electronic audio and visual communications from the other side, the groundbreaking five-year Scole Experiment in physical mediumship, and the profoundly evidential reincarnation case of James Leininger.
Looking at how language frames our perceptions about life and death, the author presents thought experiments and simple exercises to help us see through materialist ideology and perceive a broader landscape of reality. He provides a succinct account of the experience of transition to the “next life” and explores what the afterlife is made of, where it’s located, how it works, and what it’s for.
Drasin shows how, by thinking and speaking about death and the survival of consciousness in new ways, we can facilitate a clearer, more relaxed, comfortable, and rational conversation about what awaits us all sooner or later on the other side of life.
Once our worldview influenced by the materialist paradigm is weakened and an appreciation of the limits of language is gained, one has a better framework with which to assess the contentions of so called anomalous phenomena in a more open minded, scientific spirit. Subjects include Near Death Experiences, telepathy, Instrumental Trans- Communication, reincarnation and remote viewing, which have all been extensively, meticulously and scientifically researched over many years.
Later chapters on the nature of Afterlife, are naturally speculative, relying upon hypnotic regression and channelling and are less open to objective, scientific scrutiny. The assertions in these chapters, whilst interesting, rational and in accord with the earlier examined phenomena, are non provable. Whilst not discounting them, I am personally bracketing them off…perhaps I’ll find out the veracity or otherwise of these claims later…
Five stars for the narrative (I have a prejudice towards English accents)
I have awarded five stars for the book, although I wish it was longer - although, in fairness, the author does give a large amount of follow up sources for the interested reader.
Excellent guide to the contemporary debate
