THE OTHER SIDE OF DEATH'S DOOR

Tremulous times we live in and in so many ways we face the question of survival. No wonder we seek comfort in miraculous reports of transformative near-death experiences or messages from those who have passed over. In his book, “Experiencing the Next World Now,” (Paraview Pocket Books), Michael Grosso, Ph.D., shares with us his discoveries, and they are worth examining.

He points out that deathbed visions fall short, to a logical mind, as proof of actual existence after death but we should not underestimate their value in enhancing our intuitive sense of an afterlife. At times the remaining family members have dreams concerning where a will, the life insurance papers and other valuables including cash can be located, in order to complete the final accounting required for legal papers.

George G. Ritchie, Jr., M.D., author of “Return From Tomorrow,” recommends Robert J. Grant’s book “The Place We Call Home, Exploring the Soul’s Existence After Death”. Of it he says, “After reading this book, you will never again believe that we have no knowledge of life after death. This is the handbook we need to help us prepare for the realms to come.”

An emergency doctor in Seattle gave little thought to the afterlife until he had resuscitated children whose parents feared had drowned. The children told wonderful stories of finding themselves in another world of light. Since they were too young to write he told them to draw pictures. With crayons they drew “stick pictures” of angels and a person in a white robe greeted them warmly but said they were not yet ready to come to Heaven and to think about their parents. They found themselves back on Earth with their parents embracing them. Each child had drawn a large circle with long shining rays depicting the sun. Internet: http://www.edgarcayce.org.
