Life Goes On, a Skeptic's Afterlife Education

by John S. Weiss

How can a simple acorn lead to a series of fascinating experiences in the afterlife dimension? Well, one night after meditating myself to sleep by focusing my mind's eye on a beautiful little acorn, I awoke in what I assumed to be a super-realistic dream. All my senses were heightened in a way that was nearly impossible for me to comprehend. During the first of a series of these profound dreams, I met a young man named Lyle who informed me that I wasn't dreaming at all, but had mistakenly tunneled my conscious being into the world of the dead. What a joke I thought! Of course, I didn't believe one bit of it; I simply thought my dream was some sort of a ridiculous hallucination. But the next time I meditated myself to sleep, I returned to this impossible world with Lyle waiting for me. Thus began a long series of incredible dreams where my ghostly new friend accompanied by his thought-constructed girlfriend taught me a wonderful new way to perceive life. I learned a wide range of mind-boggling things, from a revolutionary biological mechanism that makes the afterlife a scientific reality, to a startling theory on the origins of Christianity. We also had lengthy discussions about the benefits of brain dysfunction, why a universal intelligence (Creator) makes just too much sense, and so much more. When we took a break from our often heated discussions, we went on absolutely mesmerizing trips that were derived from a compilation of millions' of peoples' memories spanning thousands of years. Most of these excursions were thrilling, while a few were quite disturbing. But, as incredible and impossible as all this was, what really blew me away was the real, hidden reason why I was really there. I had been fortuitously chosen to play a critical role in a quantum physics experiment aimed at creating a whole new being in the afterlife. (Yeah, sounds pretty ridiculous!) Oh, and by the way, I hadn't believed a single moment of this until I was shown pretty conclusive proof. To this day, however, I remain a skeptic. Will you?

About the author

I was born In New York City and have lived here most of my life. Since 1969, I have had a long and very successful career in advertising/marketing. I am a cancer survivor (knock on wood) and during my many tedious hours spent in chemotherapy, I perfected the art of very deep meditation. Several years after my sickness, I meditated myself to sleep and awoke in the afterlife. (not kidding) Over several weeks, I visited the afterlife every night after meditation, and I learned many impossibly amazing things, including a revolutionary biological science, and how brain function limits our capabilities while we're alive. Against my family's wishes, I chronicled all of these experiences in an ebook that's available on this site.

The Afterlife Is To Die For is a unique take on the afterlife. Whether it’s a scientific, atheist or religious beliefs, everyone has their own personal opinion of what happens when we die so if you’re ready for something new, this is it. John S. Weiss not only delivers on this but we also get a love story, a ghost story and a story about friendship. A very well written tale that I couldn’t put down. 5 stars.

This book is a novel and not a memoir. It's meant to be a pseudo-mystical account in the style of Richard Bach. If you want that kind of thing, I'd suggest reading ... Richard Bach. The Narrator seems like a shallow teenager rather than the mature man he ought to be. He finds enjoyment in reliving awful memories of war. He uses the afterlife for nothing more 'spiritual' than driving his favourite fast car. He strikingly makes no mention of his own personal life throughout this 'drama'. What is his job? Does he have a family? (We know the author does.)

As for the 'science', there is nothing more developed here than that obtained from a high school physics textbook ... and that, poorly understood. If this is the result of the greatest brains of the twentieth century, we can only conclude that you get dumber when you die. The whole idea of the four-part life particle is, I'm afraid to say, silly. The arguments used for the version of the anthropic principle used in this book are the same, old easily refuted ones anyone with any real interest in the topic would know.

Why does he meet no other deceased people? Why do his presumably dead parents not pop in for a coffee? Why Lyle and Betty?

An interesting and mind-blowing account of life-after-death involving ideas about quantum physics from today’s science headlines. I’m fairly new to the whole subject (post-physical life stories), but during a gap-year I have been investigating many subject areas that I have never looked at previously. From the limited reading in the after-life I have performed, the question becomes; which version of the after-life is correct?” Is it John Weiss with this fascinating tale, is it Chico Xavier’s story of Andre Luiz in "Nosso Lar", or maybe a different version such as described in "The Thiaoouba Prophecy?" In any event, if you have any interest in the subject (I suspect most humans do) then have a look at this book and enjoy pondering the Big Question until it is personally experienced.

Great book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this very down to earth read, from a regular/skeptical guy. It provided a scientific background to afterlife evidence which I appreciated having a background in science and being a former atheist. The information and experiences presented herein compare (relatively) to other afterlife descriptions I’ve read and heard about in my own search. Furthermore, I commend the author on sharing his story. It was a amazing to get yet another perspective!

Unique

This book is amazing and quite unique. I've never read anything like it at all. I can't explain what I just read. Congratulations to the author.

This is one of the most unique books I have ever read about the afterlife.... The author has several visits with these ghosts in his dreams where they visit his old home, fly is toy airplane, hang out in the rain forest and even visit some of the famous spots where Jesus once stood... The ghosts speak of an "in-between" place -which is where they are now - and could be for the next 150 years before actually going to Heaven.....And that everything that we know and create ourselves once we die in this "in-between" place is created from particle bundles.... This was supposed to be based on a true story-but...I am not quite convinced...
