Afterlife: a modern guide to the unseen realms

by Ian Lawton

Do you want to know what it’s really like to die?
Would you like a state-of-the-art guide to the afterlife?
Thanks to a variety of modern sources, now you can prepare yourself…
with the most reliable information that’s ever been available.

For millennia various prophets, gurus, visionaries and mystics have given us descriptions of what happens after death. Their tales of assorted heavens and hells have inspired and terrified in equal measure. But their use of symbolism and archaic language can be baffling. What is more the reliability of their accounts is questionable.

The good news is that now we have a variety of more modern sources. For example, ordinary people who have passed over and 'channelled' reports of their experiences via human mediums. Increasingly too we are hearing from those who have visited the afterlife planes when 'near death'. Perhaps even more important are the pioneering ‘out-of-body’ explorers who have learned to repeatedly and deliberately expand their consciousness so as to experience other planes of reality. The reports are remarkably consistent, both within and across each source of information.

Now they can all be brought together to produce a simple, up-to-date guide to an afterlife we’ll all experience sooner or later. One that contains myriad possibilities. These range from various heavens created by the collective human expectations of different religious groups, to personal hells where misguided souls insist on punishing themselves. To those involved these experiences appear just as real as earthly life, yet all represent varying degrees of illusion.

Most of us enter the afterlife in ignorance. But if you’re ready to take advantage of modern discoveries, this guide will dispel the illusions and free your soul to expand into realms previously attained only by the few. Realms of supreme lucidity, awareness, unity… and, above all, love.

Although I'm relatively new to books of this genre, but I've since read quite a few and almost all the major secular works on consciousness and base reality.

Most of my knowledge comes from ancillary research, and people have frequently asked me for a book to read to learn more. There are good ones, but this is ONE book that really covers all of the details and sub-topics to such a degree that a completely new-to-the-subject reader can walk away with a really, really strong knowledge base.

Some friends in cursory discussion of the book have objected to the inclusion of channeled material, but for those periods of time, we don't have a) formal accounts of NDEs or b) much from mediums or OBE experiencers or c) anything else formal like that. Channeled accounts are a strong surviving record of what was being reported early on, from when we just have little other relevant source material.

Anyway, I'm writing this review at 53% into the book because it's very dense. But NEVER boring. One issue I've had with other books is concepts are referenced but not really explained, and this book never does that- most of what is referenced is explained. It is truly written for someone who is starting from a blank slate -- which was me not too long ago, having nearly reached 40 firmly disbelieving consciousness survived death.

Not only is this book fascinating and well-researched and well-written, it also (in my opinion) genuinely informs the reader about things that are really important for living here and for when you "get there." And it draws from so many diverse sources and so many great reporters of this material.

I really should update when I review, but this book has replaced my 15 or so "recommendations," and is just "start here, this covers all of it."

I like how the author opens in chapter 1 saying that materialists say that the brain creates consciousness and that some scientists believe in the afterlife. The author also says that proof of the afterlife is a medium giving information to a client from a dead relative they couldn't have known. I liked how he also shares Robert Monroe's experiences along with Tom Campbell and Bruce Moen. He also talks about the law of attraction in the afterlife being that thoughts are things. I also like how he explains the 7 afterlife planes. He also says that souls trapped in the lower planes are mentally ill or addicted to the physical and are trapped in these planes by choice. He also says that people put themselves in hell which contradicts the religious systems saying the opposite. Along with the personal channeled experiences I give this book a five out of five.
