His book The Afterlife Revolution written with his deceased wife Anne, is a record of what is considered to be one of the most powerful instances of afterlife communication ever recorded.

The reason is that there simply has not be adequate study either of the observed phenomena or the people who have close encounters, so we have no baseline.

I have co-authored a book with Jeff Kripal, the Religion Chair at Rice University in Houston which is called Super Natural: a New Vision of the Unexplained. It re-envisions the whole spectrum of paranormal events and rejected knowledge. It will be out from Tarcher/Penguin in Feburary of 2016.

We have been debating whether or not these strange manifestations were real or not since the time of the ancient Greeks. It is time to step back and re-address them as an unknown that is accessible to culture and science in any number of ways that have nothing to do with that fruitless argument.

So, in a sense, I have come to terms with the unanswered question. I have found a new focus that accepts it as something that can be answered, but does not speculate about what that answer may be.(less)

The Afterlife Revolution

First, thanks for all the great reviews, and I assume that some of you are also among the Amazon reviewers, so a thousand thanks!

Now, if you've read the Afterlife Revolution, you'll know that my wife Anne died in August of 2015 and then executed a plan of contact that we had worked out back in the 1990s when we realized that there really was an afterlife.

There are a lot of reasons we came to under Read more of this blog post »

“...endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where all the time went and sorry that it's all gone”

“The old world was destroyed because of its own greed and secretiveness. Those least evolved rose to the top, as happens here. Your leaders, as you call them, are all people with damaged senses of self-worth. The damaged goods run the civilization. That’s why it cannot last."
"Abraham Lincoln was damaged goods?"
"The need to lead is a symptom.”
Whitley Strieber, The Key: A True Encounter

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Never be so focused on what you're looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find.”
Ann Patchett, State of Wonder

“Where, as again Vaughan writes, the liberated soul ascends, looking at the sunset towards the west wind, and hearing secret harmonies.”

I have never written anything called 'Conversations with Demons," largely because I haven't had any such conversations. I published a book of short stories called 'Evenings with Demons' 20 years ago. It does not mean that I am in league with demons. It is simply a book of ordinary short stories. It's out of print. No publisher would dream of releasing my stories.


Jeremy Vaeni For the love of all things sacred in the world, please rerelease "Conversations With Demons" so that I may read it and (eventually) die happy. Barring that, please send me a copy. I promise to return it if it's your only one :)
