Book Description
When it comes to the subjects of God and life after death, some people demand evidence that extends to absolute certainty. At the other extreme are those who are content with a belief based on emotion, instinct, or the opinion of higher authority, what is referred to as blind faith. In between are varying degrees of belief or certainty ranging from extreme skepticism to strong conviction. Discussions and debates on the two subjects are often interwoven, usually beginning with the implication that one must have proof of God before even considering the survival of consciousness at death. Since God, whatever He, She or It happens to be, is apparently beyond both human comprehension and mainstream science, the discussion or debate often stalls without proper consideration being given to the evidence strongly suggesting that consciousness does survive death in a larger life. The evidence supporting survival has come to us through research carried out by many distinguished scientists and scholars in the fields of mediumship, after-death communication, past-life studies, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, deathbed visions and other psychic phenomena. The most convincing evidence was gathered between 1850 and 1935, but it was rejected by religion because some of it conflicted with established dogma and doctrine, even though it supported the primary tenet of religion, human survival after death. It was rejected by science because it defied strict scientific examination and conflicted with the emerging materialistic worldview embraced by supposedly progressive and enlightened people. Neither the religionist nor the scientist could seemingly get past the need to prove God before looking at the evidence for survival. Without involving the existence or non-existence of God, god, or gods, this book examines some of the best evidence for survival studied between 1850 and the present day, the majority taking place before 1935. Time has not eroded the validity of those cases and the research surrounding them, although popular internet references generally subscribe to the materialistic worldview and are biased heavily toward debunking them all, while offering twisted, distorted, misleading, incomplete and uninformed explanations. Indeed, many of the cases reported in this book are bizarre and exceed the normal boggle threshold, but it should be kept in mind that the scientists and scholars who reported on them did so after numerous observations, often under highly controlled conditions, and with their reputations on the line. The book begins with experiences by both the author and the publisher before discussing the mind-boggling phenomena and the research surrounding them, all leading to a conclusion that No one really dies.

Understanding Life After Death
Author: Cyrus Kirkpatrick
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692529171
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A life-long exploration of the mysterious world of afterlife research has led to this book. The notion of a world beyond this one is firmly rooted into our popular culture, as countless strange phenomena in life point us toward this direction--from hauntings, to near-death experiences, and many more encounters with the "beyond". By venturing all the way through this rabbit-hole, Cyrus Kirkpatrick has come out from the other end, still with his marbles intact, and with the intention of finally putting all the pieces together to describe the reality behind what appears to be a multi-planar universe that we all exist as part of. A topic that must be ultimately rooted in science and not the New Age aisle, "Understanding Life After Death" is hopefully an attempt to push the subject in the right direction.

The Myth of an Afterlife
Author: Michael Martin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0810886782
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 709
Book Description
Because every single one of us will die, most of us would like to know what—if anything—awaits us afterward, not to mention the fate of lost loved ones. Given the nearly universal vested interest in deciding this question in favor of an afterlife, it is no surprise that the vast majority of books on the topic affirm the reality of life after death without a backward glance. But the evidence of our senses and the ever-gaining strength of scientific evidence strongly suggest otherwise. In The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, Michael Martin and Keith Augustine collect a series of contributions that redress this imbalance in the literature by providing a strong, comprehensive, and up-to-date casebook of the chief arguments against an afterlife. Divided into four separate sections, this collection opens with a broad overview of the issues, as contributors consider the strongest evidence of whether or not we survive death—in particular the biological basis of all mental states and their grounding in brain activity that ceases to function at death. Next, contributors consider a host of conceptual and empirical difficulties that confront the various ways of “surviving” death—from bodiless minds to bodily resurrection to any form of posthumous survival. Then essayists turn to internal inconsistencies between traditional theological conceptions of an afterlife—heaven, hell, karmic rebirth—and widely held ethical principles central to the belief systems supporting those notions. In the final section, authors offer critical evaluations of the main types of evidence for an afterlife. Fully interdisciplinary, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death brings together a variety of fields of research to make that case, including cognitiveneuroscience, philosophy of mind, personal identity, philosophy of religion, moralphilosophy, psychical research, and anomalistic psychology. As the definitive casebookof arguments against life after death, this collection is required reading for anyinstructor, researcher, and student of philosophy, religious studies, or theology. It issure to raise provocative issues new to readers, regardless of background, from thosewho believe fervently in the reality of an afterlife to those who do not or are undecidedon the matter.

From Heaven to You
Author: D. Min Theology M. L. Johnson
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1612150454
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
During His earthly ministry, Jesus described the many great and wonderful things that we as believers-the church-would be able to do through His name. God intends for the church to be the visible, physical representative of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Believers are called to show the world its power and majesty. Would it be too absurd to ask the simple question, "What extraordinary, including supernatural things did Jesus say believers would be able to do?" From this point you will discover that there are so many components that really help to define what the true church should be like, and an inspired desire to acquire these abilities should blossom! From Heaven to You intends to open your understanding as well as your eyes to the things that Jesus described as your abilities through Him, and as God intended! Believing that the average Christian believer can do much more, Dr. M.L. Johnson has taken a special walk with God, asking Him questions about certain things plaguing the church of mediocrity today, and God has been faithful to provide the answers! As a Christian, is your walk based upon a system of religion or a relationship with God? This is a very important question that only you could answer. True power and influence in heaven stems from your relationship with God through His Son! So much is available to the Christian believer -power, spiritual gifts, knowledge, identity-and more! However, so many opportunities to bring successful solutions to even the most simple of circumstances are often lost because of obstacles such as traditions, doctrines, denominationalism and simply lack of Biblical teaching. This book places the opportunities into your hands by showing you that you can do greater works because Jesus himself said that you would!

Book Description
Clearly shows how the cults and parapsychology have modified the death experience & stripped it of meaning.

Is there any evidence for reincarnation? This book exposes the errors in the cultic/occult view of death & helps readers separate "the facts" from fiction.

Book Description
"Peake's explanation of your immortality is the most innovative and provocative argument I have seen." - Bruce Greyson, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia. Do you occasionally have that strange feeling known as déjà vu? Do you sometimes feel that you know what is going to happen next? Do you ever have a strong feeling that actions you are about to take are the right (or wrong) thing to do? All these perceptions may be everyday clues to your immortality. This book proposes a simply amazing theory, a theory that states that personal death is a scientific impossibility. Using the latest findings of neurology, quantum physics, and consciousness studies, Anthony Peake suggests that we never die. After reading this book you will understand the reason for your life and how you can make it better next time.
