Summary Of A Travelers Guide To The After

A grand survey of the world’s death and afterlife traditions throughout history. • Examines beliefs from many different cultures on the soul, heaven, hell and reincarnation; instructions for accessing the different worlds of the afterlife; how one may become a god; and how ethics and the afterlife may not be connected. • Explores techniques to communicate with the dead, including séance instructions. • Includes an extensive bibliography of more than 900 sources from around the world. Drawing on death and afterlife traditions from cultures around the world, Mark Mirabello explores the many forms of existence beyond death and each tradition’s instructions to access the afterlife. He examines beliefs on the soul, heaven, hell and reincarnation and wisdom from Books of the Dead such as the Book of Going Forth by Day from Egypt, the Katha Upanishad from India, the Bardo Thodol from Tibet, the Golden Orphic Tablets from Greece, Lieh Tzu from China and Heaven and its Wonders and Hell from Things Heard and Seen from 18th-century Europe. Considering the question “What is Death?” Mirabello provides answers from a wide range of ancient and modern thinkers, including scientist Nicholas Maxwell, the seer Emanuel Swedenborg, 1st-century Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna and Greek philosopher Euripides, who opined that we may already be dead and only dreaming we are alive.
