Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what life's all about? Why you are here? An answer may depend on how you look at the world...and what lies beyond it. This book addresses these questions by sampling the recent explosion of evidence that points to a spiritual reality - revealing both our present purpose and our future destiny.
Many people believe that there is nothing 'real' other than the world in which we live. If this belief were correct, then our lives have no ultimate purpose: it would mean that death marks the end of everything for each one of us. But what if this belief is wrong? What if your mind will survive the death of your body and enter another dimension of reality - a Spiritual Dimension?
You might then reasonably ask "Where's the evidence?" Indeed, when the well-known philosopher and atheist Bertrand Russell was asked what he would say if, after his death, he found himself face-to-face with God, Russell replied, "Not enough evidence, God, not enough evidence."
This book presents evidence that might have persuaded even Bertrand Russell that he was wrong. This includes evidence that our conscious minds can function independently of our physical brains, as observed in verified cases of paradoxical lucidity and out-of-body experiences. In addition, each year many thousands of people provide personal testimony of experiencing a 'spiritual dimension' and meeting a 'higher spiritual power' when they undergo 'Near-Death Experiences' (NDEs) during life-threatening events. Many of those who've undergone NDEs testify to what they've learnt through their experiences about the ultimate purpose of life, and how this confirms what religious people have been saying for thousands of years.
