Death
: The Experience of a Lifetime
1997
(Single copies available free to Hospice workers and Thanatologists.)
Every
one of us, without exception, is going to die. Yet most of us are
fearful, in denial or determined to beat the odds. Perhaps there
is another way to confront our inevitable destiny. Could we not
regard death as one stage of a natural life-death-life cycle in
which what we call Death is but one aspect of a larger Life?
Here is a look at the evidence coming
from cell biologists, near-death experiencers and wisdom traditions
from all over the world.
