“Jon Klimo and Pamela Heath have done it again--produced a book that is so broad in its viewpoints and so deep in its research and narratives that it cannot be compared to any other volume that concerns itself with the afterlife.... They have combined over 200 years of published material on the afterlife and on mediumship with traditions from the world's great religious and spiritual teachings....”

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Heath and Klimo provide a systematic, almost clinical breakdown of the afterlife, which appeals to readers who prefer order over ambiguity. However, this structured approach may feel too rigid for those accustomed to more fluid, intuitive, or chaotic spiritual experiences. Skeptics of channeled material will likely find the premise unconvincing, as it relies entirely on accepted esoteric truths without empirical proof. It is not suited for readers seeking dramatic narratives or historical accounts of death rites, but rather for those wanting a doctrinal guide to the soul's next phase.
