The Mystery of Death: Navigating the Great Divide

Publisher Marketing: The Mystery of Death-which is probably the greatest mystery since the dawn of time-has been allegedly "solved" through modern "scientific breakthroughs" reported in a host of books, starting with the 1970s bestseller, Life After Life. Near-death-experiences are described in mind-boggling detail by those who have "come back." Their images of the afterlife are as wild and enigmatic as anything seen in the top special effects movies but consistent with the world's oldest mystery religions. Digitally enhanced films have recreated scenes of the deathplane, offering compelling images of beings-of-light, disembodied spirits, souls awaiting rebirth, astral planes, the Akashic Records, psychic contacts, non-human entities, astral travel and channeling. An ongoing array of accounts continue to elaborate on the afterlife in books, movies and television. But is this paradigm of the afterlife what really happens at death? Or are these experiences a spiritual cocktail for a modern age that has been adrift and perplexed? Is it a symptom of a culture that has lost its spiritual roots and is desperate to explore what turns out to be some of the oldest occult terrain in history, going back to Babylon and Chaldea, while offering highly lucrative rewards to the latest superstars? It turns out that there is another side to this issue. A credible and unique ancient source reveals that this supposedly new paradigm is in reality a dangerous deception spanning back to the ancient mediums of Babylon and Chaldea. When Saul sought the Witch of Endor as a medium for guidance, the result was disastrous. The Mystery of Death contends that there are realities that need to be considered in order to get the full picture. At stake is what happens to the human soul at death, a soul whose worth is beyond measure. We don't want to get on some carnival ride unknowingly believing something that could be history's oldest con game while missing a reality far grander. There is true hope and there is a God but we are warned of spiritual deception in this arena for a purpose. Find out why.
