Death and the Afterlife
Author: Samuel Scheffler
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019998252X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Suppose you knew that, though you yourself would live your life to its natural end, the earth and all its inhabitants would be destroyed thirty days after your death. To what extent would you remain committed to your current projects and plans? Would scientists still search for a cure for cancer? Would couples still want children? In Death and the Afterlife, philosopher Samuel Scheffler poses this thought experiment in order to show that the continued life of the human race after our deaths--the "afterlife" of the title--matters to us to an astonishing and previously neglected degree. Indeed, Scheffler shows that, in certain important respects, the future existence of people who are as yet unborn matters more to us than our own continued existence and the continued existence of those we love. Without the expectation that humanity has a future, many of the things that now matter to us would cease to do so. By contrast, the prospect of our own deaths does little to undermine our confidence in the value of our activities. Despite the terror we may feel when contemplating our deaths, the prospect of humanity's imminent extinction would pose a far greater threat to our ability to lead lives of wholehearted engagement. Scheffler further demonstrates that, although we are not unreasonable to fear death, personal immortality, like the imminent extinction of humanity, would also undermine our confidence in the values we hold dear. His arresting conclusion is that, in order for us to lead value-laden lives, what is necessary is that we ourselves should die and that others should live. Death and the Afterlife concludes with commentary by four distinguished philosophers--Harry Frankfurt, Niko Kolodny, Seana Shiffrin, and Susan Wolf--who discuss Scheffler's ideas with insight and imagination. Scheffler adds a final reply.

Languages : en
Pages : 567
Book Description
ItÕs okay if you donÕt believe in the afterlife. The people who live there donÕt believe in you, either. What if you went to heaven and no one there believed in Earth? This is the question at the heart of Beforelife, a satirical novel that follows the post-mortem adventures of widower Ian Brown, a man who dies on the bookÕs first page and finds himself in an afterlife where no one else believes in Òpre-incarnation.Ó The other residents of the afterlife have mysteriously forgotten their pre-mortem lives and think that anyone who remembers a mortal life is suffering from a mental disorder called the ÒBeforelife Delusion.Ó None of that really matters to Ian. All he wants to do is reunite with Penelope, his wife. Scouring the afterlife for any sign of her, Ian accidentally winds up on a quest to prove that the beforelife is real. This puts him squarely into the crosshairs of some of historyÕs greatest heroes and villains, all of whom seem unhealthily obsessed with erasing IanÕs memories and preventing him from reminding anyone of their pre-mortem lives. Only by staying a step ahead of his enemies can Ian hope to keep his much-needed marbles, find Penelope, and restore the publicÕs memories of the beforelife.

European Cases of the Reincarnation Type
Author: Ian Stevenson, M.D.
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476601151
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Many cultures accept that a person may die and then come back to life in another form, but Westerners have traditionally rejected the idea. Recently, however, surveys conducted in Europe indicate a substantial increase in the number of Europeans who believe in reincarnation, and numerous claims of reincarnation have been reported. This book examines particular cases in Europe that are suggestive of reincarnation. The first section provides a brief history of the belief in reincarnation among Europeans. The second section considers eight cases from the first third of the twentieth century that were not independently investigated, but were reported and sometimes published by the persons concerned. The third section covers 32 cases from the second half of the twentieth century that were investigated by the author. Many of these cases involved either children who exhibited unusual behavior attributed to a previous life, or adults who experienced recurrent or vivid dreams attributed to a previous life. In the fourth section, the author compares European cases suggestive of reincarnation with those of other countries and cultures.

Children's Past Lives
Author: Carol Bowman
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0307482782
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Has your child lived before? In this fascinating, controversial, and groundbreaking book, Carol Bowman reveals overwhelming evidence of past life memories in children. Not only are such experiences real, they are far more common than most people realize. Bowman's extraordinary investigation was sparked when her young son, Chase, described his own past-life death on a Civil War battlefield--an account so accurate it was authenticated by an expert historian. Even more astonishing, Chase's chronic eczema and phobia of loud noises completely disappeared after he had the memory. Inspired by Chase's dramatic healing, Bowman compiled dozens of cases and wrote this comprehensive study to explain how very young children remember their past lives, spontaneously and naturally. In Children's Past Lives, she tells how to distinguish between a true past life memory and a fantasy, offers practical advice to parents on how to respond to a past life memory, and shows how to foster the spiritual and healing benefits of these experiences. Perhaps the most moving, convincing, and best-documented evidence yet for life after death, Children's Past Lives will stand alongside the classics of Betty J. Eadie, Raymond Moody, and Brian Weiss in its power to comfort, uplift, and transform our thinking about life after death

Dying to Really LIve

Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
A Near-Death Experience Offering Hope For All, Even The Non-Believer . A surprising, true afterlife sage of a young Agnostic, who before his death, seemingly had everything money could buy, when a Stanford Medical doctor diagnosed him with an incurable medical condition. Eventually he was sent home "to get his affairs in order," with 6 months to live." . Being an Agnostic, the young man soon made peace with death, expecting only oblivion when he died. However, he was wrong. Instead of the oblivion he expected, he was taken to an amazing Afterlife. Here he learned how wrong he had been about almost everything. Later. he was sent back to his life on earth with vivid evidence and memories of the afterlife. He was sent back, just as many other Near Death Experience survivors are, to tell people that there is life after death, and, that death isn't anything to fear, it's not the end of anything. In fact, death is quite the opposite. Death is just the beginning of another, new adventure, either there, here or somewhere else, as related in this afterlife saga, on life after death and of after-death communications. . The following excerpted were taken from a recent interview with the author. INTERVIEWER: So, what makes this book and the rest of the NDE Insight Series, different from all the other books about Near-Death Experiences? AUTHOR: Perhaps, if anything, it's because, I died as a Non-Believer in anything religious or spiritual and had no opinion on life after death, either way. In fact, I wasn't expecting anything, Heaven or Hell; just nothingness. However, when I finally died no one asked me, or cared, what I thought. I was just taken to the Afterlife. I had no say in the matter. . INTERVIEWER: In your book, you use the term, After Death Experience, sometimes, in place of Near-Death Experience. Would you explain the difference? AUTHOR: Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably, but someone can have a transcendent experience without actually dying or having an out of body experience. However, in a true after death experience one's body actually dies, yet the person eventually returns with memories of the afterlife. . INTERVIEWER: So what can the reader expect to read in your afterlife saga? AUTHOR: Well, first-of-all, that there is life after death and that it's possible to have afterlife communications with those who have gone on before . INTERVIEWER: Did your experience change you or your beliefs, in any way? AUTHOR: In almost every way possible. Before I died, I thought I had this life all figured out. I believed, "He who has the most toys when he dies, wins." And, when I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, according to that rule, I was doing very well. But, boy was I wrong about having everything figured out. I didn't have anything figured out. In fact, from an afterlife sojourn, I realized had gotten almost everything wrong. . INTERVIEWER: I see there are 4 books in the Series. Are they all about your death and return? ANSWER: No, Book I, "Dying to Really Live" covers my original afterlife sojourn to the the to the other side, plus, having been being taken back there again, three months later, by my Soul Guides. It's basically a saga about an afterlife sojourn. . INTERVIEWER: If Book I covers all that, what are the other 3 three books in the series about? AUTHOR: Book II, "Beyond the Afterlife," tells of what it was like to be back on earth after being in the afterlife. It also is what I saw, did and learned during the additional 4 times my Soul Guides returned me to the Afterlife, over the next few years. Plus, it tells of my initial assignments while I was back on this side. Then, in Book III, I write of my final assignment, in preparation for what I was really sent back to do. . INTERVIEWER: And what, then, was the real purpose of your being sent back. AUTHOR: In short, I was sent back with evidence of the afterlife, to tell my story; to tell people that death is not the end, but a new begi
