Reports from the Summerlands.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

If a couple of psychologists with mystic leanings and great teaching skills passed away, and then contacted a medium to transmit back to the physical plane their experiences and analytic reflections on their new life in the lower astral Summerlands, this book would be the result.
Which sounds grim and pedantic, but actually this is light, breezy, witty stuff, and altogether fascinating. Puts dry concepts like memory, the unconscious mind, childhood development, etc. into a completely new perspective: what these concepts look like to the moderately well informed social scientist living on the astral plane!
You have never read anything quite like this, I guarantee.
Not really a spiritual tract, since these communicators apparently knew essentially nothing of the mayavic nature of the astral, nor of the Creator, God-men, the Sound Current, the six planes beyond the astral, etc.--but if you are well grounded in Sant Mat theory and practice, you can enjoy this very literate expedition through the lowest regions of the Beyond.
Then, follow the instructions of your Master, meditate more, and be thankful you are not stuck somewhere in the illusions and dead ends of the astral plane for a thousand years.

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

The depth of the author's dialogues with three figures in the afterlife is much richer andore complex than anything else I've read of this genre. Admittedly, I've not read much in the literature of mediumship. I am curious now to know if contemporary mediums encounter the "social structure" described by Jane sherwood.

Have never read better books on the afterlife..

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014

I agree with a previous comment, "I can't believe nobody's reviewed this book!"..Until I read Jane Sherwood's "The Country Beyond" and "Post-Mortem Journal" I always had lingering feelings of dissatisfaction from reading other books that I felt gave me faulty, incomplete, & unreliable answers to deep questions that I continued to have,,After reading both these books, I found that I finally did get those completed feelings of fulfillment & gratification..If in an unrelenting pursuit of knowledge of the afterlife as I was, I believe that you cannot find any better books to satisfy your needs..I liked both of these books so much that I bought the more expensive hard-cover versions and I continue to treasure them to this day..

Packed with good information

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

Packed with good information. Author Jane Sherwood is clearly highly dedicated to understanding the nature of the spiritual dimension. This book is a record of conversations between her and three beings who have crossed over who reside at different levels or locations on the other side. There is a also a good deal of speculation about matters that are beyond the ken of any of them - I do not find that kind of material particularly useful.

I also highly recommend her "Post-Mortem Journal".

I can't believe nobody's reviewed this book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2005

The most clear, logical, straightforward account of the afterlife I've ever read. Much clearer than Edgar Cayce, while entirely consistent with his views. Packed with profound insights that will blow your mind.

Awesome and path changing account of communication from the Afterlife

Reviewed in Spain on November 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is a truly remarkable testimony of communication from beyond the physical plane. First published during the Second World War by the author who sought contact with her husband killed in the First War World, and having both great endurance and strength of mind as well as a healthy scepticism, the author sought guidance from Beyond to help explain in scientific terms how such communication can work and what we can learn about the Afterlife. This sober and rational account is as good as you'll get about a subject which, on account of its Noetic character, cannot be evidenced by standard science yet provides extended evidence strong enough to convince those interested in truth (reality) with an open mind, accepting that not all reality is revealed through physicalist tools available to classic science. We are on the edge of a new reality paradigm in which serious anecdotal accounts will have to be accepted of other dimensions rather than rejected out of hand by Reductionist bias.

Great book about REALITY ON MULTIPLE PLANES

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is an impressive book, perhaps a great one. It's not perfect e.g., too little's said about the author ... but it presents a deep cosmogony that addresses puzzling features of existence on various planes and, as such, I recommend it highly to serious thinkers who have already read widely in the psychic and afterlife genres.

The book mostly takes the form of conversations - via automatic writing - between Jane Sherwood and 3 people on higher planes. The unusual, impressive, thing about the book is that whilst in many ways it talks about "all the usual suspects", it manages to link together features of reality often treated as isolated e.g., it talks about why matter (as perceived on earth) exists at all, what causes evil (and the link between matter and evil), how perceptions of distance vary between planes, why people reincarnate, and how to reconcile evolution with the reality of multiple lives and multiple planes of existence. Sherwood and her companions tried to bring a scientific outlook to what they were analysing ... and they've done a good job. I'll go and re-read the book.
