Beyond Death: The Gnostic Book of the Dead

by Samael Aun Weor

What You Should Know about the Afterlife

Leaving behind both fear and belief, Samael Aun Weor explains through vivid stories what happens when we die and how we can prepare ourselves now to take full advantage of the experience.

Instructions to prepare the soul for the process of dying and the experiences of the afterlife are found within the scriptures of every mystical tradition, especially the Bible, The Theban Recension (Egyptian Book of the Dead), and the Bardo Thodol (Tibetan Book of the Dead), yet they are veiled in cryptic symbolism and are difficult for most people to understand. Now, for the first time, this book fearlessly approaches the topics of death, dying, and the afterlife for our day and age -- and for those who are tired of theories and are ready to know the truth through their own experience.

Collects several books in one volume: 1. The Book of the Dead: Originally published in Spanish as "El Libro de Los Muertos" (1966). 2. The Mysteries of Life and Death: Originally published in Spanish as "Los Misterios de La Vida y de La Muerte" (1962). 3. Beyond Death: Originally published in Spanish as "Mas Alla de La Muerte" (1970). 4. A Talk on the Mysteries of Life and Death: from a lecture.

About the author

Samael Aun Weor (which is a Hebrew name) wrote over sixty books, gave thousands of lectures, and formed the worldwide Gnostic Movement, whose members number in the millions. Though these accomplishments are certainly impressive by any standard, they are merely the pale terrestrial reflection of the work he accomplished internally, spiritually. And yet, in spite of his wisdom and generosity towards mankind, he said:

"Do not follow me. I am just a signpost. Reach your own Self-realization."

His lifelong mission was to deliver to humanity the complete path toward the realization of the inner Being, or in other words, the total and exact science required by anyone of any religion, race, culture or creed who wishes to fully and completely develop the human soul. The path he taught is the Path of the Bodhisattva, that mysterious and ancient wisdom long hidden in the bosom of every great religion.

"For as long as space endures and for as long as the world lasts, may I live dispelling the miseries of the world." - From The Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life by Shantideva

[Danny · Rating 4 out of 5]

a little heavy handed on the "we are right/you are wrong" approach...but otherwise a good source of information on the gnostic beliefs about the afterlife.

[Jeremy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The study of death is essential.
