The search for the answer to the question of what happens, if anything, after we die has been an agonizingly slow and painful process. At the end of the 19th Century we had informed groups in both the USA and England paying careful attention to this diffuse question. This book is merely a single example of the fervour that they attacked this issue. No, they did not have the scientific terms or proofs that we have now but their perseverance is highly noticeable. These works were crudely put aside as we enter the following century for now we are placed under the all-seeing eye of Scientific Materialism. The following decades put forth the theory that all knowledge is to be solely based on whether actions and events can be measured, observed and are repeatable. Any and all of the diffuse experiences of previous times are to be viewed as being simply imaginary and/or false. This is the atmosphere in which all of us readers were exposed to as we proceeded to become educated citizens. In the 1950s most scientists felt that they had the definition of reality within its grasp and only needed to ‘complete a few more decimal points’ to fully define everything. Recently, however, this naive concept has come crashing to the ground with the discovery of the troubling phenomenon called Quantum Mechanics. Suddenly we have come to realize a full series of events that we have little, if any, definition for; Einstein showed the energy and matter and interchangeable, matter must be observed in order to come into existence, the Big Bang has a starting point for our infant universe but no concept of what was previously occurring, the rational concept of String or M Theory forces upon us a reality that expands our 3 dimensional view of materialism into one that must include up to 11 dimensions, eternity is a concept that we have no reference to, etc.....
Where are we now? While materialism is being forced to abandon its naive concepts of a 3D reality accompanied by our 5 basic sense factors and religion’s concepts of life-after-death are being upended for being based on myth rather than fact, we are being led back to the early works that this book attempted nearly two centuries ago. But, this time we have the scientific concepts, definitions and ideas to accompany them. But, at best, we are moving forward in fits and starts rather than along a clear and focused manner. Such is the history of human evolution; we arrive at the point where we are at only after centuries of gazing at the far-away horizons wondering what is on the other side.....
