Tremendous
This is two books in one. The author lays down the blue print for our purpose here on earth; and also how we matriculate the levels in the afterlife.
An enlightening and easy to read book about a subject that seems to be complex and confounding in the same instance.
The reader most likely comes away from this book,informed, encouraged and refreshed.
No matter what a person’s circumstance is on this earthly experience, this book provides purpose, enlightenment and hope.
Tremendous information. Much gratitude to the author.

The title of this book almost put me off. I automatically shy away from anything/ anyone that suggests 'This is the whole truth,' because it usually ends up being nonsense with no or little proof at all. Ordinarily, books like this are filled with unproven mediums and psychics giving their opinions as facts.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but I personally like real studies, without religion or psychics muddying the waters.
That aside, I enjoyed this book a lot.
Does consciousness exist independently of the body? It's one of the biggest questions there is. This book does well from a scientific point of view to prove that yes, it does. I think we're years away from discovering anything that might be accepted as 100% proof. The only thing we do know for sure is that we don't know what consciousness actually is. The irony.
Materialism and idealism, two opposing views with human ego getting in the way of rational discussion. Maybe if money was spent on science and not war, we'd have the answers by now.
In my opinion, yes, of course, we survive death.
Am I afraid to die? No. I'm in no rush, but it's not something I've ever feared.
The medical cases in this book only fuelled the beliefs I have. It was mentioned about Alzheimer's patients, how areas of the brain are destroyed, dead, and yet, during a person's last few days, their cognitive function doesn't just improve, it's as if the disease hasn't destroyed who they are and stolen everything. Anyone with a healthcare background would have seen that happen multiple times. This is why, I suppose, most people in healthcare also believe in life after death. It isn't a belief for comfort, it's because they understand consciousness survives regardless. The end is an illusion.
Just my opinion.
I also think this book would be good for anyone with an illness that cannot be cured or is struggling with grief.
I'll get the paperback, and read this again. It's such a fascinating subject and one of the best books I've read on this matter.

Outstanding
A clear and very well argued case for bringing the afterlife and the spiritual realm beck into central focus in our worldview. Hawley meticulously outlines the history of the split between science and religion causing the mechanistic materialistic world view to emerge and dominate. He also reviews carefully why that view is no longer tenable and why the evidence for both the spiritual realm and the afterlife is thoroughly convincing. I've read lots of books on these topics but not another one that do adroitly and clearly brings the essentials of a large and complex subject so clearly and effectively to the general reader who met have no background on these topics but wishes for clarification and general understanding of both the emerging understanding of reality and the purpose of life.

This book is nothing of what I expected it would be. There are snippets about the afterlife... but basically he talks a lot about evolution, the universal mind or consciousness, ESP, follow your bliss, the mind and what is consciousness, morphogenetic fields and quantum theory... you get the idea. Not a whole lot about specifically the afterlife. Granted, we really don't know about the afterlife so it is hard to fill a book about things we are not sure of, but I think a more precise book on afterlife beliefs from all over the world and stories of people's NDEs as to what they experienced in the afterlife would have been more interesting. There are other books, better books out there on the subject and I am reading one now that is much more precise to the subject and very interesting. This book was a chore to read and not very interesting to me at all.

My husband was shot and killed and I was looking for a spiritual connection and answers to what happens after you die. I did learn a different perspective through reading this book. However, there were times I was confused at the direction of this book and after finishing it I wanted more answers. Houdini once said if anyone could come back from the dead, he would do it. No one has seen him. And maybe that was the answers I was trying to get. I wanted my husband back and wanted to "feel" him and really wanted to know what happens after you die. No one really does know because who can tell us, I mean really tell us...not that "it's beautiful" or "I'm at peace". Because I had questions no one can answer I was left with more questions. The book is a good read, and I did like it. It's all about what you want to take out of it.

Transitions
After consulting "authorities" from many different walks of life, Martin postulates that we are all in transition through the many stages of life, that we are all part of the same universal mind. Although he too often repeats many of the same stories and experiences he cites as evidence of life after death, his goal is to help one evolve to a higher level of being and understanding of that relationship to the universal force found within each of us.

A well-researched comprehensive guide
Overall I enjoyed this book, and I learnt a lot of value from reading it however as I was getting towards the end I noticed a lot of similarities with other books I've read about the power of the mind, think and grow rich, the secret, you can heal your life, etc, and and I found some claims little bit simplistic. But I would still recommend this book as I found plenty in it of of value.

Loved this book and listened via audible. It gives me great comfort to know that there is an afterlife where we will be reunited with loved ones and friends. It was packed full of interesting information and I actually kept a notebook nearby to jot down mentioned authors and related subject matter! A must read for the open minded. I Believe!

Thought provoking
I enjoyed the ideas in this book. Having a recent experience that challenged my understanding, I appreciated the author's willingness to put his ideas out for us to ponder. They are interesting and certainly give inspiration for further study.

Good book.
This book made a lot of sense when he discussed reincarnation. We come here to fulfill a purpose. I also have a better understanding of God's grace and that we are on earth to learn different things as we reincarnate.

Interesting
I found this book to be very interesting to say the least. I never considered different realms. I really never considered reincarnation before other than having moments of dengue numerous times throughout my life.

I believe this book...and great research
I have been looking for a book that describes
life after death and have research to help with the statements.
Both books work seamlessly to bring to light what happens
after passing.

I listened to this book and I wish he would have read it himself or had a real person read it, but instead it was read by an AI. Anyway, I find this stuff pretty fascinating so the overall book was an easy fast read. It’ll be something I think about going forward.

I thought the book had many good points. Much of what was written rang true. It is not very easy to live in this world and not be of this world. It gave me much to think about. I hope to put some of the author's advice to the test. A good read.

Good book
This book explains more about reincarnation then what happened after you go through the golden gates. It's more about people have previous life's and what they remember. Interesting reading.

Afterlife
A really good read although I gave four stars because I found some of the book repetitive. A great book for anyone who is a sceptic

I did not like the book. There were many instances of life after death but I found the book very uninteresting and not really the kind of book I thought the title would be about.

Not very scientific
I am always on the lookout for science based death. This book is not it, but enlightening non the less though.

excellent & easy to follow
If you’re logical and have an open mind, you will truly enjoy this set!! It helps put a lot of things into perspective, without taking anything away.

Just okay - nothing new
For people who have never approached this topic and and want to know more this is probably a good starter book. However, for me, there was nothing new. Considering the title of the book I would’ve liked the author to spend more time diving into the research and evidence for life after death. He cited many studies and research projects, but just listed a few anecdotes about them. I would’ve liked a lot more in that regard. Part two of the book was really a waste in my opinion, in so far as it was merely a lot of the author’s opinion, citing of Bible verses and quotes from philosophers and subject matter experts. Again, I would’ve liked more hard proof, of which, apparently there is a lot of.
