Science and the Afterlife Experience

Reveals the evidence of life beyond death.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Science and the Afterlife Experience examines 125 years of scientific research into reincarnation, apparitions, and communication with the dead, showing these phenomena are real. It reveals the existence of higher planes of consciousness where the souls of the dead can choose to advance or manifest once again on Earth.

The book explains how these findings have been ignored and denied because they are incompatible with materialist doctrines. Chris Carter's rigorous argument proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, not only that consciousness survives death and continues in the afterlife, but that it precedes birth as well.

In this work, Carter shows that evidence of life beyond death exists and has been around for millennia, predating any organised religion. Focusing on three key phenomenaβ€”reincarnation, apparitions, and communications from the deadβ€”Carter reveals 125 years of documented scientific studies by independent researchers and the British and American Societies for Psychical Research that rule out hoaxes, fraud, and hallucinations, and prove these afterlife phenomena are real.

The author examines historic and modern accounts of detailed past-life memories, visits from the deceased, and communications with the dead via mediums and automatic writing, as well as the scientific methods used to confirm these experiences. He explains how these findings on the afterlife have been ignored and denied because they are incompatible with the prevailing doctrine of materialism.

Sharing messages from the dead themselves describing the afterlife, Carter reveals how consciousness exists outside the parameters of biological evolution and emerges through the medium of the brain to use the physical world as a springboard for growth. After death, souls can advance to higher planes of consciousness or manifest once again on Earth. Carter's rigorous argument proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, not only that consciousness survives death and continues in the afterlife, but that it precedes birth as well.
