There is a bumper sticker that goes "Exercise. Eat right. Die anyway." And unfortunately, that is the truth. It may be 100 years from now, but some day your physical body will die. But what about your mind? What about the part of you that holds your personality, your hopes and dreams, and your memories? Discover the truth about the afterlife in What Happens After Death by Migene Gonzalez-Wippler

For centuries, philosophers and scientists have investigated the mysteries of the afterlife. Discover the secrets about the electromagnetic nature of the mind, and how it continues to exist in the astral world even after the death of the body. Learn about scientific investigations conducted by individuals and at universities. Read about the "tunnel of light" phenomenon reported by survivors of near-death experiences.

If the mind of a person continues after death, is it possible to establish communication with it? It has been rumored that Thomas A. Edison was working on a device to accomplish this just before he died. Even though he didn't succeed, this book describes many people who have. Here you will learn about the history of the Spiritualist religion, including such people as Swedenborg, Home, the Fox sisters and Kardec. Finally, you'll discover some of the latest information about the mind as it continues past physical death.

The next part of the book was actually written by Kirkudian, a channeled being who spent several lives on Earth and reveals what life is like elsewhere.

If you have ever wondered what happens after death ó and before life ó you won't want to miss this book.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

As a result of many years of magical practices including astral projection, I've come to realize that the body and the mind are not the same thing. They are linked, but they can also be separated. The body can die but the mind, the very thing that really makes you who you are, will survive.

I'm certainly not the first person to have realized this. And you'll find out the history and scientific study of life after death in Migene Gonzalez-Wippler's What Happens After Death.

You'll discover what both ancient and modern thinkers had thought about the afterlife. You'll even learn about recent scientific discoveries in this field, including research conducted at universities by some of the most famous researchers of the past and present. The book also includes a section of channeled information about life between lives on earth.

Many people fear death. They see it as the end of existence. This is a book that gives hope and meaning to life. When you discover that death is both and end and a beginning, life takes on new hope and meaning.

Great read!

This is about the 5th time I have bought this book. I found it very comforting when i was looking for answers after losing a dear friend. I didn't read the second part of the book as I really didn't need to. The author has scientific facts to base her theory on. I have given this book to a few close friends who endured a tremendous loss of a loved one and they got comfort as well which is why I keep buying it. However, I believe it is out of publication so my last two purchases were used but in great condition.

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2002

The first section of this book was the most compelling, as it was presented in a very diplomatic and scientific fashion, which I most enjoy. The author's detailing of ITC research as well as reincarnation and the various astral levels was very interesting, as well as thought provoking. As a result I have taken an active interest in ITC, a field I find amazing, to say the least.
I was at first confused by the second half of her book, however--the part concerning the supposed entity Kirkudian. After the confusion came the skepticism. Much of what Kirkudian purported regarding the rules and laws of the astral world seemed, ultimately, resoundingly derivative and very sterile. I didn't take to it at all, though Kirkudian and his travels, when taken as fiction and nothing more, was good reading if nothing else. By the time I finished the tale of Kirkudian I most certainly was entertaining deeper thoughts on soul development and incarnation, which perhaps was the point overall.
A good read. I recommend it.

what an amazing book.

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023

This book has so much information about life after death, about the existence of life throughout the universe, how we all humans reincarnated, the Journey of souls and so much more. I had already owned this book, but it was very old and with time it lost pages.

I will start reading it again soon.

Great very interesting.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2011

I have over 100 books on the subject of what happens after Death. Near Death Experiences, out of body, reincarnation, etc,etc,etc. This one was the most boring readings I have come across yet. I ended up skipping 75% of most chapters because the writing ability was just so boring, and I LOVE the topics that were being covered.
I never made it to the end of the book. After about 1/2 way thru, ALL i could think about was the "garbage can", and that is where this book belongs.
I think that the only reason that it's called a International Bestseller, is the Title.

This Book is Pure Bunk ! Why isn't there a "0" star rating?

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 1999

I am greatly disappointed in this book.Its starts off very fascinating. The first chapters gives us the impression that this book is going to be a clear concise scientific look at the occult. I immediately became suspicious when in recounting the story of the Fox Sisters, who became famous at the beginning of the Spiritualist Movement, she failed to mention that they (the Fox's) were found to be frauds,and had perpetuated a great hoax. I figured out that the first few chapters were used to "lure" us into believing the pure "bunk" of the last few chapters dealing with an entity (probably of Ms. Gonzales imagination) named Kirkudian. Kirkudian is suppose to have been incarnated as many of the great scientists and religious leaders in our history, including ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI! Ms Gonzales just gives non-believers another reason to think that we new-agers are flakes and phoneys, which is not true. I believe in reincarnation, but I find this book very hard to swallow. Save your money, by pass this one. The only good thing I have to say for her is: Ms. Gonzales does not lack for an imagination.

Cliff's Notes for the Soul

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 1998

Having read most of Ms. Gonzalez-Wippler's books, both in English and Spanish, this treatment of the after-death experience comes as a great disappointment. Translated from the Spanish original, the book is badly edited (typical of Llewellyn publications lately) and has a certain sophomoric feel to it. While she touches on some interesting and intriguing evidence of what really might happen after death, the author never sufficiently substantiates her conclusions; she relates paraphrased acedotes and presents them as quasi-scientific proof. I immediately suspect and question the objectivity and scholarship of an author when s/he manipulates facts to bolster their theories. For example, the author's relation of the facts surrounding the rise of the spiritualism phenomena in 19th Century America neglects to mention that the Fox sisters recanted their experiences and confessed that their experiences were a hoax. I find this troubling and a distortion of the truth. Although Ms. Gonzalez-Wippler has written persuasively on diverse occult subjects, one has the feeling that she's only dabbling in this particular area. For the novice, who has never encountered the myriad writings on near death experiences, Hindu mysticism, astral planes, etc., this book might suffice as a rudimentary introduction to a fascinating topic. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere for a more convincing treatment of the subject.
