Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die
What happens when we die? Powerful evidence indicates our consciousness continues. The author spent two years gathering material that demonstrates this, interviewing more than a hundred experts, including medical doctors, psychologists, parapsychologists, psychiatrists, quantum physicists and researchers into the true nature of reality. The author relates specific examples that indicate what happens when we die, citing among other things examples of memories being formed and retained despite a subject’s brain having shutdown completely. Moreover, he addresses such questions as whether or not we will be able to communicate with living loved ones, whether it is possible to be reborn, and what may be missing from current biological and reproductive theory to explain the various phenomena indicated in the case histories he presents. Among the notables he interviewed are quantum physicist Henry Stapp, author of “Mind, Matter, and Quantum Theory,” F. Holmes "Skip" Atwater, former President of The Monroe Institute and one-time Training Officer for the once highly classified U.S. Army Intelligence remote-viewing surveillance program, Julie Beischel, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Director of Research at the Windbridge Institute, Stephen E. Braude, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Former Chair of the Department at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and current Editor-in-Chief of the “Journal of Scientific Exploration,” and Jim B. Tucker, M.D., medical director of the Child and Family Psychiatry Clinic, and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. All of us will someday cross the border to what Shakespeare called "The undiscovered country." As long as we have to make the trip, would it not be smart to find out where we are going?

One of the stories of near-death-experience (NDE) in this book is quite compelling: Pam Reynolds had a huge brain aneurysm, and in order to perform surgery on it the doctors stopped her heart, drained the blood out of her brain, lowered her body temperature to preserve tissues, attached EEG monitors, and filled her ears with brain stem monitors to ensure no brain activity before starting surgery. Nevertheless, Pam was able to tell the doctors the details of the operation that she observed from outside of her body while her brain and heart were provably flatlined. Most criticisms of NDEs claim that they're mere hallucinations, or observations made subconsciously while aware under anesthesia (seriously, google anesthesia awareness if you want to be terrified of ever having surgery!). Obviously, this can't possibly explain Pam's experience. I'd very much like to see a skeptic take a crack at it. Other cases cited by Martin include people coming back from the dead with information they couldn't possible have known any other way: like the boy who claimed to have met his sister in the afterlife. His concerned parents immediately called her college, only to find that the college had been trying to contact them to let them know she'd been killed in an accident mere hours before.
The NDE stories are interesting, but just a small part of the book. Martin also goes into detail about a number of testimonies of reincarnation. If we take these at face-value they are certainly very interesting. Children seem to be able to remember incidents from previous lives that no child should know: a boy who remembered being a fighter pilot who could name plane parts, ships, friends that he knew from his previous life; a boy who had previously been a great womaniser telling his father in obscene detail the things he ought to do with his mistress; children identifying their previous selves in faded old photographs. These things do seem compelling - but a niggling part of me can't quite believe when I don't know them personally. Children are very observant, and parents do leak more information than they realise. It's easy to see how parents who want to believe these stories might be feeding information to kids with leading questions long before impartial interviewers come along and record the stories. Other cases of adults remembering previous lives, or becoming aware of spirit companions, rely on hypnosis which I find highly fishy, given how suggestible people are in hypnotic states!
The third leg of Martin's evidence for life after death comes from spirit mediums who claim to be able to speak with the dead. The Windbridge Research Center provides certification for mediums by putting them through a rigorous double blind trial. They recruit two people (sitters) who want to contact a dead person (a disincarnate), and two prospective mediums. Each medium is asked the exact same questions regarding one of the disincarnates by a third party, in order to prevent contact between sitter and medium and thus eliminate any cold-reading. Then each sitter is given both sets of answers to mark for accuracy. In most cases it's quite clear to the sitter which answers come from their own loved one, and which belong to a stranger. Martin says that on average, sitters give a score of 3.5/6 to their loved one's answers and less than 2 to the control reading. That's a pretty big difference, although 3.5 seems pretty low to me. I'd hope that if my loved ones bother to send me messages from the beyond they'd be a lot more than half correct! Martin says subsequent readings produce even better scores, so maybe it takes a while to get to know a spirit? Either way, this is another thing I'd like to see a skeptic explain.
Martin also discusses a case where a medium relayed a message from a spirit who was not known to any of the sitters and had his own agenda (this presumably, proves that he was real and not a well-intentioned case of subsconscious cold reading). The spirit gate-crashed the seance because he had died in an accident at sea, and his body had washed up in pieces. Most of the body had been found and buried, but he wanted the whole thing buried together. He claimed that one of the sitters was living in a house that had part of his body buried in the wall and he wanted it reunited with the rest. Sure enough, the person contacted their builder who admitted he'd bricked a femur into the wall.
On the face of it this seems pretty compelling. But I suppose it depends on how believable you find the idea of spirits in the first place. It occurs to me that one can think of a materialist explanation: That the builder found a femur, bricked it into the wall, found out that the person living in the house he built also attended seances, went to the medium and told them about the bone, and the medium (or someone) knew about the half-buried accident at sea, and put it all together into a compelling story. This is also possible (although also far fetched). The only way to be sure would be to get someone to rigorously investigate everyone involved in the story, and alas, here it is only presented as another irrefutable proof of life after death.
Martin also talks a lot about other paranormal phenomena. I suppose on the assumption that psychic powers and spirit beings all imply the reality of something beyond materialism, which in turn implies support for eternal souls. Some of this is interesting: like the well-documented fact of the CIA and US army intelligence using 'remote viewers' as spies and information gatherers. Martin describes cases of remote viewers correctly predicting Saddam Hussein's capture, and Skylab's crash site. Also discussed are various cases of people who have received organ transplants, and begun to develop the tastes and habits of the donor (one Croatian lumberjack sued the hospital that gave him a kidney transplant because it gave him a passion for knitting which made his friends laugh at him!), and the story of a woman who somehow was able to manifest a thin layer of bronze foil over her body at strange times, which nobody could explain.
I'm not sure that these later cases, although very odd and seemingly supernatural, do provide support for life after death. And the more odd events that Martin cites, the more I feel like he's just throwing everything at the wall and hoping some of it will stick, like: 'Look how much weird stuff there is in the world! The evidence is overwhelming! You have to believe!' It starts to feel a bit desperate. These bizarre edge cases are interleaved with various amounts of what I can only call waffle about what might be causing it. Martin goes into detail about his own experiences with the supernatural, which are touching and well-written, but hardly make him seem objective. He mentions he is a Rosicrucian and describes their beliefs on how souls reincarnate, which is really just their opinion. He's awfully keen on Sheldrake's theory of 'morphic resonance', which is, uh, not widely respected in the scientific community.
And through it all he keeps repeating, 'You have to believe! You have to believe! There's so much evidence! How could you not believe?' He provides his own answer: materialists don't believe because humans have a well-documented tendency to become self-righteously attached to their own opinions (especially politically) and will reject information that contradicts their cherished beliefs. Now I agree that this is true, but Martin doesn't stop to consider that this might be as true of himself as anyone else.
At one point, in an attempt to argue that immaterial intelligence 'life force' or consciousness pervades all material things, he cites sunflowers as his proof:
Anyone can google sunflowers and see that heliotropism is caused by the light-sensitive growth hormone auxin. It does not require 'awareness'. This is as stupid as arguing that evolution is disproven by the fact that bananas fit in the human hand.
It's extremely annoying, because I did find some of the cases Martin described persuasive. But when he reveals himself as so incredibly partial, I find myself doubting everything, including whether his descriptions are accurate or unknowingly distorted by his biases; and especially doubting that the vast quantity of evidence is proof in itself. If the evidence was all collected by people as credulous as Martin, then it's more likely to be vast proof of wishful thinking than vast proof of the supernatural.
Martin does make a fair attempt to provide good evidence; he's citing studies and attempts to investigate scientifically. So it's very annoying that he includes no footnotes or even a bibliography or further reading list. I wished I'd checked before I started reading because I wasn't making my own list of the books, scientists, and institutes mentioned. So in the end, a lot of it felt anecdotal, and for the rest, I think I'd have to go to the sources and make sure for myself that it's credible before I took it to heart.

Consider a sunflower, it has no brain. According to currently accepted science, it can have no awareness. But it does have awareness. It turns its face to the sun, and it follows the sun aross the sky from sunrise to dusk.
This requires some form of awareness.
Anyone can google sunflowers and see that heliotropism is caused by the light-sensitive growth hormone auxin. It does not require 'awareness'. This is as stupid as arguing that evolution is disproven by the fact that bananas fit in the human hand.

The grumpus23 (23-word commentary) Good case for showing life after death exists. All angles reviewed. Scientific, historical, spiritual, and medical examined. Never hurts to believe, I suppose.

Extraordinary findings in Stephen Martin’s newest book Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die, will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they burn through this well written book’s pages. Death, dying and the paranormal are brought into the scientific realm by an array of studies that validate the continuance of life once physical death occurs. The conscious mind has greater flexibility and resource than once thought. No longer studied on the periphery of science the author presents concrete proof that activities once called paranormal are a spectrum of events that actually have substance. Scientists have taken a second look at out of body experiences, near death occurrences and post death encounters utilizing hard science. The commonality of these events, throughout the World’s many cultures and beliefs, provides a foundation their existence is more than neurochemistry can explain. In this second and expanded edition the question what happens after death is explained with a convincing clarity leaving little doubt what happens next. This is one book which should be on your reading list for the near future. Mark Davis platomd@gmail.com

This started out sounding like a fairly objective book studying various research groups compiling information about Near Death Experience, Out of Body experience and other experiences which shed some light on life after death. That was what i was expecting and hoping for in this book. However, i got about half way through and the author reveals he is a ranking member of the Rosicrucians, a true believer in such 'evidence' as cold readings, etc. When he began telling about Michael, a super-being comprised of thousands of souls, i gave up on him and his book. This is tripe and propoganda. Anything but objective. On to the next book.

Had some fascinating evidences of supernatural or paranormal "life" but devolved into a catch all of every sort of paranormal idea out there all blended together and Christianized. Studies mentioned and books named but no sources cited. Contradictory ideas blended together - and the Christian counter to much of the evidence, that some paranormal experiences are demonically inspired, is not really addressed.

Crummy book
Instead of exploring NDEs, Hawley brings in every crackpot spiritualist concept in with no skepticism. This would be minus five if I could have rated it that.

Stephen Hawley Martin (2015) LIFE AFTER DEATH, POWERFUL EVIDENCE YOU WILL NEVER DIE (AUDIOBOOK)
Audible - Books In Motion
⭐⭐⭐ 3 out of 5 stars
Audible writes, "What happens when we die? This new edition of Life After Death adds to powerful evidence consciousness which continues the author presented in his 2015 release. He spent two years gathering information that demonstrates this and along the way interviewed more than a hundred experts in a number of different fields. Among them were parapsychologists, medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, quantum physicists, and researchers into the true nature of reality. Specific examples are presented that indicate what happens when we die, for example, that memories can be formed and retained despite a subject's brain having been shut down and the blood drained from it. Questions such as whether or not you will be able to communicate with living loved ones after death are addressed, if it is possible to be reborn, and what might be missing from reproductive theory to explain the various phenomena indicated in the many case histories and scientific investigations presented. All of us will someday cross the border to what Shakespeare called "the undiscovered country". As long as we must make that trip, wouldn't it be smart to find out where we are going and what to expect when we get there?"
=====
A bit too hocus pocus at times. Powerful? That's a bit of a stretch IMO. Interesting? Very! Reluctant scepticism in situ. And I really don't like the idea of reincarnation. Doing this all over again is my idea of a nightmare.

The series should definitely be read in order to make more sense. This book gives more of a background information about the history of reincarnation and other convincing authors that provide valid examples to lead up to his next 'Joy' book which delves deeper into the subject. Had to smile as one of the final examples of reaching one's goal was to 'become a good golfer'. After doing that as a teen, I always had the 'knowing' that my true goal in life was to help those in need which was accomplished through working with special ed kids and then the elderly in nursing homes. Upon retiring, I took up writing, having published over 70 books. I may never be considered a 'best seller' but never lacked for an idea, theme or plot to write about 'typically' coming to me in the 'sleep stage'. By example, the book was spot-on in this area. Of course, only those with an 'open mind' need read this book and others on the subject.

A Thought Provoking Read
I would love to see an expanding on the One Mind concept. The cases presented regarding people performing at equal or greater than average, even with a defective or practically non-existent brain is TRULY fascinating! I am very curious as to the mechanics and science behind this, particularly with Alzheimer's Disease growing at a far faster pace than any other incurable illness and projected to continue as our society ages. If there were a way to continue to communicate rationally with loved ones who are no longer able to communicate normally it would really be miraculous!
A book we worth reading to expand one's mind!

I Read the Whole Thing
That is amazing for me with this kind of book. The author is compelling and a lot of what he says I believe. However, the reincarnation thing is just beyond me. One might go someplace else. But I do not believe we come back to earth. Also, while I appreciate his research, I would have found it more compelling with additional research cited against his theories. Makes it more real. If this was research that was widely embraced, I think we would have heard more about it. My good wishes to with him.

No disappointment with this book. The many accounts of reports from the afterlife and memories of reincarnation by children substantiate the title.
It's a page-turner that is hard to put down. Although the subject is covered in many other books, I like to read more like this one that confirms the rest.
If people could just open their minds they will realize what they don't know and what they are missing in preparation for death. We all die. That's a fact. Buy the book and prepare to be amazed.

Mastering the experience of life!
This is a very interesting part of living life! I think that all of open-minded persons will find the presentation very interesting. Many persons who are bigoted in their common beliefs will find this work an eye opening experience. Too many of us assume that they are open to new ideas, yet fail to appreciate the beauty of the mind and its experiences. All persons should find something to open their eyes and challenge beliefs.

Many concepts, disjointed, rushed ending
The book could use some reorganization. There was a lot of data, research, lots of personal experiences and life results, as well as summaries on every aspect of spirituality.
Good concept, overwhelmed results
The author tried to paint a story and present his concepts. Good effort poor outcome. plethora of topics.

Very good book, fantastic!
I recommend this book to anyone looking for the real meaning of this life and what is the matter about after life, if there is a possibility for that. It really help me to put in perspective many things I have learn in my life. I think is a must for any serious seeker.

We don't end...we continue on
This book was purchased within weeks of my husband of 57 years death. I feel like he is still with me. Thank you for bringing me peace. My only fear after reading this was the area that discussed "stuck souls". I pray that he is in a loving place with pure joy. He was and will remain my best friend.

This book is certainly very interesting and captured my interest and held it from beginning to end. Some pretty good evidence that was well researched for the possibility of life after death. In my opinion, it will even make some of the most skeptical people on this topic think twice if they don’t believe in the possibility of an afterlife.

A number of such books are now being written on post-life existence emanating from a better understanding of human life post Einstein's postulates relating to matter and energy. This book too provides anecdotal evidence of existence of life beyond life.

Lots to think about
Reincarnation is real? God is a spiritual force? There is one big pot of being? This and more within. Steal on your "l'm open to new thought systems" and take the ride.

Wealth Of Information
So much astounding information. Really enjoyed the book, well-written and organized. The case for life beyond death is cogently presented with mounds of support. I strongly recommend this book.

Bleh. Abandoned halfway through.
He doesn't present evidence. He presents the same, old unsubstantiated stories and woo-woo theories that have been passed around for more than 100 years. There's no science here to enjoy.

Very interesting despite these topics not being new to me. Nonetheless it is beautifully written, so very concise and crisp in the description and analysis of the topic. It explores every angle. I'm going to read it again. Loved the narrator's style and voice, which has a Rod Serling quality to it…

Excellent
I really enjoyed this. Well written - it put into words that which I have been intuitively sensing for quite a while.

I always get something out every every book I read. I read this one twice as usual. Highly recommend if you are searching for answers.

Very interesting read.
I'll be gathering the books mentioned by the author. Every single one mentioned sounds interesting and worth the read. This book was definitely worth reading. Enlightening.
