What happens to us when we die? Many think of heaven as an unimaginable state of bliss. As for hell, it's far out of proportion to any sin we might have committed and makes a travesty of God. But what if the afterlife was something very different? �Three decades of research have taught the author, a world expert in the field of death and afterlife studies,�where the�most reliable�sources are to be found. These accounts are far better developed and more plausible than anything found in the world's scriptures or theologies. We hunger for a reliable revelation telling us that life here and now is meaningful and good, that each of us has an important part to play in its proper unfolding, that we are accountable for all we do, and that the�spirit-denying materialism all around us is a�mistake. The world ahead, unlike ours, is fascinating and fair. Authentic�channels through which the "dead" speak�are the closest thing to the voice of God that our planet has.

Review
There can be few, if any, more important questions than what happens to us when we die. This book contains what purport to be reports from people who have died, telling us in what conditions they live, and how they may move on from one sphere to another. Whatever they may make of this, everyone will find it intensely interesting.
— John Hick, Author of Death and Eternal Life, preeminent philosopher of global religion
After conducting a pattern and content analysis of details that spirit sources described about their afterlife world through credible mediums, Dr. Betty spells out 44 specific details of the afterlife, most of which differ from the views of major world religions. Belief in these revelations that the nature of our afterlife existence depends upon using our free will to evolve spiritually in love and wisdom in this life is the core message of this book.
— Boyce Batey, Executive Director of Academy of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies
About the Author
Stafford Betty�has a�PhD in theology from Fordham University, teaches religious studies at California State University in Bakersfield, and has gradually evolved into a world expert on afterlife studies. Originally a specialist in Asian religious thought and the philosophy of religion--with many publications to his name, some�in top-tier journals--he branched out into paranormal research when he found that the big questions about�the meaning of life were unanswered in the safe, tidy world of academic orthodoxy. "Paranormal studies is the next frontier for philosophers and scientists to venture into," Betty says.� "It is a tragedy that an area of studies so filled with hope for all of us is commonly snubbed by leading intellectuals and trend setters,�who refuse to even look at the evidence." Betty is also a novelist.� His latest novel, The Imprisoned Splendor,�is set in the afterlife.�

A Wonderful Intro Into The Afterlife And Those Who Report Back
By Cat Whipple
I LOVED this book. I only wish it had been longer (it's about 100 pages once you subtract the misc. pages that most books have: title pages, index, etc.)
This little book covers 7 mediums (old and some new) and gives brief overviews of what those mediums (and the souls who spoke through them) had to say about what life is like on the other side. This information is taken from books that have already been published so if you're looking for new works this is not the book for you.
What the author does here is unique in that I haven't read another book like it yet. From his extensive reading of books about the afterlife (he is a Professor of Religion) he compiles an overview of what life is like after we die, according to spirits who have spoken through mediums.
The author's goal is to help people form a more realistic view of the afterlife then the ones offered by religions (Christianity in particular with its limited view of either hell with fire and eternal punishment, or heaven with harps and clouds.)
The books he takes his information from are:
Letters From The Afterlife by Elsa Barker
Life In The World Unseen by Anthony Borgia
The Afterlife Of Leslie Stringfellow by Stephen Chism
The Road To Immortality by Geraldine Cummins
Testimony Of Light by Helen Greaves
Spirit Teaching by Stainton Moses
Witness From Beyond by Mattson Taylor
Evidence From Beyond by Mattson Taylor
Each chapter focuses on one medium/spirit and gives a brief intro about them. Each chapter gives lots of direct quotes from the spirits about different aspects of the afterlife, like: what different regions (spheres) of the afterlife exist; what people do in the afterlife; what our soul's purpose is; where corrupt, evil-doers go and what "evil" forces really are; and much more.
The last chapter summerizes 44 points about the afterlife (as covered in the book) that seem the most interesting to the author. Some of these points include, randomly (and I quote from the book):
2. The Afterworld begins at the earth's surface and extends outward....
4. Earth's slow vibrations dumb down our ability to sense the presense of spirit, including the Divine....
5. The newly "dead" are thoroughly themselves when they pass. Their personalities, habits and character, for better for worse, are completely intact.
7. ... life in the astral is more vivid and intense then on earth, not more ghostly....
10. AD Mattson's trip to other inhabited planets revealed a divine plan very much like the one just sketched....
11. The Afterlife is a broad based society of every conceivable kind of person, most of them flawed and incomplete in some way....
16. Many astral inhabitants maintain a lively interest in the events of Earth and long to help it progress...
21. There are hellish regions in the astral, and large populations that make their home there....
26. There are three basic ways to progress in the Afterlife:...
28. There are no masks in the astral. You cannot hide from others what you are....
32. Spirits in the astral meet Christ-like beings....
Overall, if you want to know what you have to look forward to when you pass over, you will enjoy this book very much and it will give you a solid overview of what the spirits tell us about the afterlife. And this book will introduce you to seven of the best books from mediums/spirts, if you don't already know of them.

A Travel Guide for Everyone
By Michael E. Tymn
Professor Stafford Betty, the author, asserts that conventional beliefs regarding life after death are antiquated and that his book is intended to give a more realistic picture of what the "Other Side" is like. He points out that there is no conclusive evidence of what to expect when we die, but the accounts set forth in the book are consistently similar and more easily reconcilable with a just and loving God than the one offered to us by orthodox religion.
Having done much research in this area and having written extensively on the subject, I totally agree with him. Much has come to us through credible mediumship, near-death experiences, and other paranormal phenomena about what to expect after death. Unfortunately, organized religions have rejected this modern revelation because it is not totally consistent with what they have interpreted from their good books and thus it presents a threat to their leadership. At the same time, science has rejected it because it cannot be analyzed in a test tube. In effect, this "modern revelation" is a victim of both religious and scientific fundamentalism.
"Some religions take a dim view of mediums and warn that messages coming to us from the Other Side are from the Devil," Betty states in the Introduction. "Many scientists, on the other hand, tell us not to pay attention to such `messages' because there is no such thing as spirits and life after death. Other people take a middle path, including some of the world's best scientists. They bring a critical but open mind to the topic. That is the attitude I take and encourage you to take."
There is something about the word "medium" or "mediumship" that triggers both suspicion and antagonism in many people today, but anyone who has spent time studying the subject, as both the author and I have done, comes to understand that there are genuine mediums who are able to serve as intermediaries between this world and the next and give some indication as to what the afterlife is like. In those "good books" they were called seers and prophets, but the messages came through in the same way. Contrary to fundamentalists' interpretations, revelation did not end some 2,000 years ago.
Betty explains that this book is not about the type of evidential communication we see on television these days. Rather, it is about what has been termed "spiraling mediumship" - wisdom and higher truths believed to be communicated by spirits with a mission to do more than provide evidence of the existence of the afterlife. "They reveal an astral world of amazing beauty and stepped-up intensity of thought and emotion," he writes, adding that they offer "an overall plan that explains not only the spirits' purpose over there but ours right here; and a mysterious grandeur that surpasses the ability of our language to describe it adequately."
Many spirit communicators are quoted. "As the soul lives in the earth-life, so does it go to spirit-life," the author quotes one advanced spirit. "Its tastes, its predilections, its habits, its antipathies, they are with it still. It is not changed save in the accident of being freed from the body. The soul that on earth has been low in taste and impure in habit does not change its nature by passing from the earth-sphere, any more than the soul that has been truthful, pure, and progressive becomes base and bad by death."
Another spirit communicated: "You should get away from the mental habit of regarding your present life as the only one, get rid of the idea that the life you expect lead on this side, after your death, is to be an endless existence in one state. You could no more endure such an endless existence in the subtle matter than you could endure to live forever in the gross matter in which you are now encased. You would weary of it. You could not support it."
Still another spirit had this to say: "This is a wonderful, thrilling experience. When I caught but a glimpse of Light on earth, and it uplifted and changed me, and changed also the direction of my life, that impermanent glimpse was as nothing to the immersion of Light that is possible here. I appear to lie in my garden, yet in the power of this Light, my mind and spirit stretch out into a glorious extension."
Clearly, Dr. Betty is not your stereotypical religion professor. Unlike most professors, he dares to discuss life after death in his classes. "The subject seems to be surrounded by an aura of disrepute," he writes in the Afterword of the book. "We can talk about God, we can talk about ethics all day long, but the one subject that should most concern us - because everything else ultimately rests on it - is off limits among the smarter set where I work. I get the sense that faith in life after death is OK, but just don't talk about it, don't admit it. It's unsavory! Why is this?"
Betty says he thinks he has the answer. "Among people who like to think of themselves as smart and well informed, such as you find among professors at a secular university, the materialist assumptions of the physical sciences color almost everything else," he explains. "And since an afterlife is immaterial, at least in the way science understands matter, my colleagues are reluctant to admit they believe in it even if they do. Among them are two Catholics in the biology department, and one is a long-time friend. He deflects every attempt by prying students to learn if he is a man of faith, and in fact he implies that he is not. This is a man who loves his religion; but he is afraid to admit it. He doesn't want to look like a fool. He doesn't want to appear disreputable."
When one is planning a trip to another country, it is prudent and wise to find out, in advance, as much about that country and its people as possible. The same may be said for the after-death "trip." Indications are that we are able to adjust and settle in much more easily if we know what to expect. In that sense, this book is an outstanding travel guide to the most important trip any of us will ever take.

Excellent Book!
By Alexander Zlotnik
Stafford Betty did an excellent job!All material he used in this book is very well documented,author presents only facts(mediumistic reports) - nothing more.Of course,one may have mixed feelings about validity and accuracy of such reports(as myself do),but it is data anyway,and it is up to user to decide how to regard it.Stafford also did a very nice summary at the end of his book,nicely putting common elements in mediumistic reports,and thus producing coherent picture.Highly reccomended!
