Book: There is LIfe After Death
Author: Roy Abraham Varghese
Publisher: New Page Books

On the countdown of 12 Days – 12 Gifts of Enlightenment-  gifts to give to the metaphysically inclined for the holidays, we’ve arrived at Gift Number Four which is:

Give the Gift of Immortality

As Winter Solstice approaches and we celebrate the return of the light, we are reminded of the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, the circle of life. Looking around us, the trees are bare, the flowers are gone and the landscape is quiet and at rest, yet we know that in the Spring, the seeds underground will rise again with new life.

For the metaphysically inspired person in your life, this holiday holds great meaning in the symbolism of this time and the energy connected with the three days during Winter Solstice and the return of the Sun. Throughout the ages, philosophers, kings and queens, and all of humanity have wondered what occurs as we move from this cycle of life to death and rebirth. The question and answers as to what occurs after the moment of death are as vast as the people who ask them. As we enter the age of Aquarius and shift into a new age of enlightenment, science and spirituality are joining forces to investigate and explore these age old questions.

Author Roy Abraham Varghese has engaged in a wide variety of scientific and religious studies on the afterlife. An author/editor of nine books on science, religion and theology, Roy co-authored There is a God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind. Roy’s previous book, Cosmos, Bios, Theos, included contributions from over 24 Nobel Prize winners and was described by Time magazine as “the year’s most intriguing book about God“. A panelist at the science and religion forum in the Parliament of World Religions and participant in the Millennium World Peace Summit of religious and spiritual leaders at the United Nations, Roy continued his work to write The Wonder of the World: A Journey from Modern Science to the Mind of God, which explored the relationship between science and the existence of God. This book was endorsed by two Nobel Prize winers as well as leading Christian, Hindu, Moslem and Jewish thinkers and the scientist who established the Big Bang Theory. His latest book: There is Life After Death: Compelling Reports From Those Who Have Glimpsed the Afterlife with a foreword from  Raymond Moody, provides eyewitness accounts and scientific and historical data on life after death. — recommended as a must have for any student of Near Death Experiences and the journey of the soul.

To continue the study and review of the afterlife as well as establish a balanced review, one must look at the history and societal beliefs perspective of immortality. I highly recommend

Book: The Return of the Dead
Author: Claude Lecouteux
Publisher: Inner Traditions

giving Claude Lecouteux’s book: The Return of the Dead: Ghosts, Ancestors, and the Transparent Veil of the Pagan Mind. Professor Lecouteux’s research delves into the rich history of cultural beliefs from around the world including ancestor worship and the universal belief of the soul, as revered in various societies throughout the ages. Claude Lecouteux provides a revealing look into how our ancestors saw more clearly through the veils between life and death and understood that the dead often traveled back and forth through the veil at will.

A wonderful resource book for the advanced metaphysician and student of the paranormal.
