📝 Description: Between Death and Life: Conversations with a Spirit

Offering both comfort to the fearful and confirmation to the curious, this title examines different levels of existence in the spirit realms. What happens at the point of death? Where do we go afterwards? Does one's personality survive after death? How are the good and the bad experiences of life accounted for? What is the purpose of life? These are questions everybody asks. And no one is better qualified to provide reasonable answers than Dolores Cannon. During fifteen years of detailed research, this widely experienced and well-respected American past-life regression therapist has accumulated a mass of credible information about the death experience and what lies beyond. While reliving their dying experiences, hundreds of subjects reported the same memories. The similarity and sincerity of their recollections are too convincing to be ignored. This book is a good introduction to the death experience, to guides and guardian angels; ghosts and walk-ins. It examines different levels of existence in the spirit realms; the healing places for the damaged; the schools where you integrate lessons learned on Earth and where you discover the laws of the Universe; how you plan your next incarnation, the lessons to be learned and future karmic relationships before birth.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Cannon offers a systematic view of the spirit realms derived from extensive client data, providing a logical architecture for post-mortem existence. This approach appeals to those who prefer evidence-based metaphysics over vague mysticism. However, readers seeking traditional religious theology or scientific empirical proof will find little here. Those uncomfortable with the concept of past-life regression as a valid investigative tool may dismiss the methodology entirely. The text is not suitable for individuals who prefer chaotic or ambiguous descriptions of the afterlife. It assumes a willingness to accept subjective experience as objective truth, which limits its appeal to hardline materialists.

Deep and rewarding

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. You can tell why this work has endured. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Almost perfect

This has been on my wishlist for months. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The font runs small in the appendices. Recommended with reservations.

A serious text

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. Every rereading turns up something I missed. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Already eyeing my next order.
