Praise for this book

“In his mind-bending book, Dan Drasin draws on his more than three decades of investigation into the areas of consciousness research and paranormal experiences to arrive at a new and compelling vision of what actually awaits us when we die. By dismantling the structures of an outworn materialistic worldview, Drasin reveals that the afterlife constitutes a legitimate arena of scientific research and that it can be…”

Fun Fact
Drasin offers a refreshingly rigorous, scientifically grounded approach to the afterlife, meticulously surveying emerging research rather than relying on faith or conjecture. While it might disappoint those seeking purely spiritual comfort or anecdotal validation, this book is a crucial read for anyone demanding objective inquiry into consciousness beyond the brain. It firmly places the discussion of post-mortem existence within the realm of legitimate scientific discourse, making it a pivotal contribution to transpersonal and consciousness studies.

📝 Description: A New Science of the Afterlife: Space, Time, and the Consciousness Code

Reveals how the continuity of consciousness beyond the physical body can be objectively demonstrated - Explores 15 promising avenues of post-materialist scientific investigation currently underway - Provides a succinct account of the experience of transition to the "next life" and what one might expect when one arrives there - Explains how materialism has prevented us from realizing a deeper understanding of the nature of space, time, life, death, and consciousness Sharing his more than three decades of research into the afterlife and paranormal phenomena, award-winning documentary filmmaker Daniel Drasin shows that the continuity of human consciousness beyond the physical body and after death constitutes a legitimate area of scientific inquiry and that it can be objectively demonstrated. Drasin begins by revealing how our belief in materialism--through its effects on our social norms, taboos, and even language--has deeply constrained our civilization's understanding of the nature of space, time, life, death, and consciousness. However, as Drasin explains, our deeply ingrained cultural habits tied to materialism have begun to change. He explores 15 promising post-materialist scientific investigations currently underway, focusing in depth on three examples that offer the most objectively irrefutable evidence for the survival of consciousness, including electronic audio and visual communications from the other side, the groundbreaking five-year Scole Experiment in physical mediumship, and the profoundly evidential reincarnation case of James Leininger. Looking at how language frames our perceptions about life and death, the author presents thought experiments and simple exercises to help us see through materialist ideology and perceive a broader landscape of reality. He provides a succinct account of the experience of transition to the "next life" and explores what the afterlife is made of, where it's located, how it works, and what it's for. Drasin shows how, by thinking and speaking about death and the survival of consciousness in new ways, we can facilitate a clearer, more relaxed, comfortable, and rational conversation about what awaits us all sooner or later on the other side of life.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Drasin presents a thorough argument against materialism, drawing on decades of research to demonstrate consciousness persistence. While the exploration of post-materialist phenomena is ambitious and detailed, it may not suit readers strictly adhering to conventional scientific paradigms or those seeking purely poetic spiritualism without empirical grounding. The book requires an openness to challenging ingrained assumptions about space and time. It is best appreciated by those willing to engage with complex scientific inquiries rather than casual readers looking for simple comfort. The tone is analytical, which may feel dense to some, but it offers a clear vision of what lies beyond the veil for the dedicated seeker.

These investigations aim to objectively demonstrate that consciousness continues beyond biological cessation, pushing the boundaries of what is considered scientifically verifiable in the realm of the afterlife.

The Post-Mortem Experience

Beyond theoretical discussions, Drasin provides a concise and insightful account of the transition experience, offering a glimpse into what individuals might encounter upon entering the 'next life.' This section compiles insights from various sources, painting a picture of potential realities awaiting us beyond the earthly plane.

📜 Historical context

This work stands at the forefront of modern consciousness studies, bridging ancient inquiries into the soul's persistence with contemporary scientific methodology.
