Beyond Death Anxiety by Dr. Robert Firestone, PhD,Dr. Joyce Catlett, PhD Pdf
"This book fruitfully serves those looking to apply Ernest Beckerís ideas psychotherapeutically, in individual counseling or in group therapy. A capstone to Robert Firestoneís 50 years of work in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and psychiatry and to the numerous books written by these authors, Firestone and Catlett show how to apply the themes and implications of the ideas of Ernest Becker in everyday life. Their basic premise is that accepting death is part of developing an affirming and meaningful experience of life. Contributing to the credibility of their presentation is the wealth of clinical evidence and personal experience Firestone and Catlett incorporate." --The Ernest Becker Foundation "[F]ascinating and an enjoyable read....steeped in well researched and relevant psychological and sociological perspectives applicable to all social studies areas..." --Carol Lloyd University of Chichester "Firestone and Catlettís work is a marvelous achievement....This volume is both innovative and intrepid. Firestone and Catlett challenge prevailing psychoanalytic views on death and they demolish many of the accepted canons of thanatology and existential psychology. ...This is required reading for anyone who purports to talk about death." -- Jerry Piven, PhD Author of Death and Delusion: A Freudian Analysis of Mortal Terror "[A] towering synthesis of personal and clinical wisdom about death....with a superb overview of the psychology of death and death anxiety....Dr. Firestone draws on the best of the existential-humanistic as well as the psychoanalytic thinkers to address a flourishing path toward self-realization." -Kirk J. Schneider, PhD Author, Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy and Awakening to Awe (From the Foreword) Firestone and Catlett's groundbreaking volume assists mental health practitioners in helping their clients learn to accept and face their mortality. They describe the many defenses of death anxiety that keep individuals from achieving personal fulfillment, and also suggest methods to cope directly with fears of death; an approach that, ironically, can lead to more satisfaction, more freedom, and a greater appreciation for the gift of life. This book examines the many destructive consequences of death anxiety, including introversion, depression, and withdrawal from life. Throughout the book, the authors demonstrate the importance of achieving what they call life-affirming death awareness. Key topics include: The dawning awareness of death and its impact on the developing child Literal and symbolic defenses against death anxiety Separation theory and "the fantasy bond" Challenging the defenses that interfere with living fully Microsuicide: the death of the spirit Breaking with limiting religious dogma and cultural worldviews With this book, mental health practitioners and their clients will be able to better understand death awareness, overcome the defenses against death anxiety, and ultimately lead richer, more fulfilling lives.
Winner of the Pulitzer prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the 'why' of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. The book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our 'immortality project' resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning.In The Denial of Death, Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written.
A psychologist seeks to answer your burning questions about what happens after death, from afterlife communication and human consciousness to out-of-body and near-death experiences. Most people in the world believe in some form of life after death, but what exactly is the nature of the afterlife? David Fontana examines all the extensive evidential material that has been accumulated over time—including communication through mediums and accounts from those who had near-death and out-of-body experiences—and compares them to descriptions found in such mystical texts as The Tibetan Book of the Dead and The Egyptian Book of the Dead. He explores the whole area of human consciousness and considers the question: if the body and the brain perish at death, what remains to survive? From the various ideas of paradise to the very meaning of existence, this is a journey through infinite possibilities.
Beyond Death: The Gnostic Book of the Dead by Samael Aun Weor Pdf
Leaving behind both fear and belief, Samael Aun Weor explains through vivid stories what happens when we die and how we can prepare ourselves now to take full advantage of the experience. Instructions to prepare the soul for the process of dying and the experiences of the afterlife are found within the scriptures of every mystical tradition, especially the Bible, The Theban Recension (Egyptian Book of the Dead), and the Bardo Thodol (Tibetan Book of the Dead), yet they are veiled in cryptic symbolism and are difficult for most people to understand. Now, for the first time, this book fearlessly approaches the topics of death, dying, and the afterlife for our day and age -- and for those who are tired of theories and are ready to know the truth through their own experience.
The author Sri Anil Sharma was born in Ambala, India. He graduated as an electrical engineer in 1980, after which he travelled for a period of three years throughout the Indian subcontinent, in search of the truth. Since 1993 over a period of seven years he read more than nine hundred books written and referred to by great spiritual masters, attained various siddhis, toured many countries around the world and gave lectures. This book is the outcome of his spiritual experiences and guidance received from sages and spiritual masters during deep states of meditation. However, inspite of experiencing the rising of cosmic currents in his body, having attained a heightened awareness of reality, and achieving many tasks in spirituality, like writing books and genuinely helping many aspirants in the path of spirituality, his own quest of knowing and gaining personal experience of self realisation remained unfulfilled. In the year 2000 he came across the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, in whom he found all the answers to his spiritual quest and took him as his Sat guru. The author currently resides in Australia, works in his profession and also runs a small centre in Sydney called Sage Sri Ramana Maharshi Centre of Learning Sydney
Beyond Death by Gary R. Habermas,J. P. Moreland Pdf
Death - and what lies beyond - is not something you consider every day. But the thought of it raises some intriguing questions: Are there good reasons for believing in life after death? What is the afterlife like? How valid are the reports of near death experiences? Do heaven and hell exist? And if so, how can hell be reconciled with a loving God? By sharing the very latest scientific, philosophical, anthropological, ethical, and theological evidence on life after death, noted Christian scholars Habermas and Moreland present a strong case for immortality with this book. They begin by taking up the question of whether life after death is real and what evidence supports its reality. They then explore what the afterlife is like and go on to show how having this reality in your future should affect the way you live here and now. This book will reassure you that there's no need to fear death - as long as you're prepared eternity that follows. It's also a great aid in developing a serious biblical, rational, and even scientific defense for the belief in life beyond the grave.
Defeating Death Anxiety offers an alternative way of understanding life and loss in the face of death. It is not that we lose people; the truth is we can't. When we interact with others, it becomes possible to incorporate their essences into our own. This ethereal essence is nonphysical, timeless, and easily transmissible. This book explores the idea that no one is ever really gone and that there is little need to fear the end of bodily existence. It is meant to provide a helpful perspective on what it means to be human and should serve as a source of comfort to all who read it.

To many readers, the word may come across as a cold, aloof and lossy, unsettling word. Some people hesitate to even say the word. That the angel of death can be called Azrael. After meeting with our publishing house editor for a long time, we had planned to write a series of books on different subjects that would clear up the confusion. Although I had been thinking about writing a book about death for quite some time, putting it first was unexpected. In general, I did not think of such an order, since all narratives are treated linearly as birth-life and last-death. It suddenly occurred to me that it was more important to put aside the order of books and write about death. I guessed that you have more extensive knowledge to write about this subject and that it will attract more attention unlike other books I will prepare. However, how much a book with death on it will sell is another matter of discussion. In addition to interest, it seemed to me as an important justification that it could be at the top of an urgent need list. Because in this country, thousands of people die every day and their relatives witness their deaths. Many chronic and severe patients are also waiting for their death and their relatives are waiting with them. Or we may come face to face with unexpected sudden deaths. At that time, death was prepared as a pre-writable book on the subject, as the first book in the series. Death is an emergency for mortals and dying! Even in a world of death, nothing is as serious and remarkable as death. Since the ultimate victory is death, it is necessary to give priority to understanding it. When was man's first thought about death? This is difficult to know, but a look at the long history of evolution yields some clues. H. neanderthalensis, one of our relatives in the evolutionary family tree It emerged in the world 350 thousand years ago and their existence continued until 30 thousand years ago. Despite their brains being considerably larger than we are now, evolution – this data confirms once again the importance of function, not size – of organs, these hominids, unable to survive and make technical progress, seem to think as if they were thinking about death. Perhaps because they were ice age people, life was difficult for them and they died at an average of 40. Although they had big brains, they did not have the clothes they had developed to protect them from the cold. Although it has been suggested that Neanderthals buried their dead with religious rituals and floral ornaments, it has been suggested that the data found later cannot be interpreted so precisely, that the flower pollen found may have been carried there by the wind or that it may have come from the boots of the workers working in the excavation. Whatever the story here, in the event that a thinking human's hunting friend dies while hunting, or his wife, with whom he has made love and had a child, suddenly dies, it is likely that in his moonlit caverns by the waters, “where did the living, running and hunting person go?” His questioning was by looking at the stars. Because only yesterday she was out there hunting with him and looking after his children. What had happened to him then that he could not move, speak or react. Therefore, the perception of death is not new to the evolutionary scene. It is very likely that it emerged when hominids began to pretend to be someone else, to see their own reflection in the water or to remember their dreams. But “when exactly?” There is no one you can answer a question like. In the later periods, when socialization increased with living in groups, death began to pass into both mythologies and written documents as a part of life. We begin to see the first written documents about death in the Egyptian society that lived on the banks of the Nile 3500 years ago, and then it became a subject in different ways in Sumer, Assyria, Hittite and all other societies. On the other hand, the concept of death and after death creates an inseparable unity of questions and question marks seem to lie back to back. Where death is mentioned, the discussion of an afterlife, which starts with death and giving life, is also going on. With the emergence of monotheistic religions, death and afterlife became one of the most important parts of theology for a long time, since the afterlife became the promised life. With the birth of not only theology but philosophy, it became one of the longest and most important topics of discussion. Although it was suggested by some philosophers that it would not be the subject of philosophy "because it does not belong to life", it has become one of the important and even essential topics of philosophy arising from the mind-brain, soul-body discussions. For centuries, the mind-brain and soul-body debates continued and still do. Although the main question philosophy seeks to answer is how the mind-brain connection is achieved, whether there is a mind separate from the material flesh and brain, after all, if there is a structure that exists apart from the material body (whatever its name is mind, consciousness or spirit), what will happen with death? comes after. Life after death has been an area of interest not only for religions but also for spiritualism, and this interest has led to the birth of modern parapsychology. Although this trend, which started in the West in the 1800s, began to reach its consistency in the late 1950s in our country, the concept of the afterlife and death remained the main area of interest of spiritualism. The answer they were looking for – what kind of continuity is there in the afterlife – has provided a more moderate approach to the subject of death for the limited number of people who are interested in the subject, although they do not directly examine what death is. Many professionals have emerged who are committed to learning from the spirits of the psychic dead and understanding the order of the other side. Among them, there were people who were educated in scientific knowledge schools and even received the Nobel Prize. The experiences at the moment of death and the extraordinary events that took place during the deaths were recorded. It was tried to be put together in a frame and mold. For a long time, death was ignored by western philosophers and it was not considered and systematically examined, considering it a subjective situation close to metaphysics. Even the famous Wittgenstein claimed in his Tractus that "death is not an event of life" and that it cannot be talked about meaningfully. For example, Spinoza says in his Ethics that “the free person does not think about death, he contemplates on life”. This saying is also an escape. On the other hand, for some, death is the real muse of philosophy and they mostly focused on concepts such as death anxiety, what death is and how people learn about death. Conversely, August Comte said that "if there is only one philosophical truth, it is death". Socrates accepted philosophy as "preparation for death". According to him, philosophy would not be easily possible without death. Voltaire, on the other hand, says that we do not know what eternal life is, while present life is a terrible joke. He points out that the human species is the only species that is aware of death and knows that it will die when the day comes. Tirasaymakos, on the other hand, makes a remarkable emphasis in Philalethes' speech: "If my individuality does not continue, I will not even give metallicity to what you mumble about as immortality." He is right, but in today's sense, individuality means our personality, our memory of experience and our awareness of ourselves. The other world, where this does not exist, must not be very desirable. More recently, the issue of death has become an area of interest in medicine, due to the development of organ transplants and the demand for organ harvesting from deceased people. Because organs could be taken from people who died, not from living people, and what exactly death meant had to be defined for physicians. For this purpose, "brain death diagnostic criteria" were started to be developed by neurologists in the not too distant 1970s. Although these criteria have changed over time, the concept of "brain death" as a general pattern has settled in medicine and has been accepted as the legal definition of death. The diagnosis of “brain death” meant death medically and legally, and the same nomenclature is still valid today, except for some minor details. Again, developing health technologies, improving the storage conditions of tissues taken from humans, and after many animal experiments, "Can we freeze humans and keep them in order to wake them up again in the future?" approaches emerged. The same question was asked whether it could be done by putting astronauts or passengers to sleep with some kind of deep cooling during sending humans to Mars or distant planets. In this case, the freezing process, which was applied, required a definition of death, as it required a starting point. On the other hand, people paid money to wake up after death by freezing himself (whole body or just the head) in the hope of being cured sometime in the future. Body ice cream companies were established in different parts of the world. It required a reconsideration of the concept of death—when it started—as it had to be applied legally as soon as the diagnosis of death was made. Parapsychologists were interested in near-death experiences, but for the last ten years, physicians working in hospitals have also started to take part in research topics. Discussions began to be published in scientific journals on the subject about why near-death experiences could occur and what could happen in the brain neurologically, physiologically and chemically at that time. In other words, death and near-death experiences can also be revealed and researched with the scientific method. In this way, we have come to understand better a concept called "clinical death", which has been emphasized. We have added “clinical death” to the concept of “brain death”. Spiritualism, continue to be a subject of interest and discussion today as it was in the past. Aside from saying "I used to be this, you are not my parents" when children are 3-4 years old, self-helpers and regression healers have come to the point of giving people one or more past lives as gifts. The immortality implied by the rebirth cases and the state of being reincarnated in the world after death continue to be an important belief issue both in our country and in the world even today. It is a matter of both belief and debate among people at all levels of education. More recently, recordings of cerebral blood flow and brain waves (EEG) of deceased persons at the time of death were made and these were published and presented to other scientists for their opinions. However, physical and physiological examination of deceased persons at the time of death is a very rare situation in science, and the first experiments were carried out almost a hundred years ago. It was reported in the newspapers that 21 grams were lost from the body with death. Even if the film was made in the intervening time, the scientific confirmations did not give the same result. But when the movie was released, the 21 grams issue occupied the minds and asked, “Is the soul only 21 grams? Oh, does it only weigh as much as a piece of chocolate?” had been asked. Since quantum physics pervades our daily lives, its implications have made us rethink the issue of "death and extinction" - I haven't observed the same thing for quantum physicists at universities dealing with solid matter. A hundred years ago, everything was a particle. Then it was introduced into our minds that there were no particles but only concentrations of energy. Today, however, we understand that neither particles nor energy concentrations. Everything that makes up matter is actually information and temporary existences in the universal quantum field or wave function! At that time, our structure is not a decaying, depleted matter, but a structure that has continuity according to quantum physics, but only transitions from state to state. “In this case, what would be the meaning of bodily or cerebral death?” The question was asked and comments were written and drawn by opening the curtain on life after death. Therefore, the meaning of the word death began to be perceived and felt differently. Today, the issue of death is one of the most important issues in the minds of modern people, whether they live in the village or in the city. However, it is discussed in the secret subconscious but in open conscious conversations. Although most people do not talk about the subject, you must have had a mandatory recollection of death, either at night or during the death of their relatives, or during the burial. You have probably asked yourself one or more of the questions you will see in the chapter titles of our book, not just remembering. You've probably just asked yourself and silently. Unbeknownst to anyone... Even while thinking about death in your mind, you must have thought quietly so that death would stay away... In this book, we will begin to find answers to questions about death in the minds of readers, and perhaps even unintentionally to create new questions. We can cause some people to reconsider the truths they believe in. Our main aim is to consider and discuss death by considering more scientific information today, without ever addressing the theological concept of death and the afterlife. The question of why theological debates do not exist in this book is a separate issue and is of interest to theologians. In this land where tradition and religion are almost inextricably intertwined – thankfully, many academic theologians in our universities can make this distinction very well from the perspective of the Qur'an – it would be best not to discuss religion and death, the afterlife. For example, a subject such as the promise of Paradise for Abraham is not covered in detail in the book. Another issue is what a neurologist, who is the author of this book, can have to do with death. Neurology is a field of medicine dealing with brain and spinal cord diseases. After all, I am one of the mortals. On the other hand, neurologists are one of the specialties that diagnose medical death and brain death. Neurologists are the first to give consent for organ transplantation when the diagnosis of brain death is made. Neurology is one of the specialties with the highest number of deaths and deaths in hospitals. Apart from that, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences and some other abnormal death-related phenomena are related to the nervous system and brain. Perhaps most importantly, neurologists, who are scientists, deal with the concepts of consciousness, memory and personality. All of these things somehow originate in the brain, and what happens to them when the brain dies are a question on the neurologist's mind. For this reason, the neurologist, who is a physician and scientist, does not ask (or even can) ask where the soul goes when he dies, he asks whether consciousness-memory-personality continues. The question to ask is: do we die when we die? And proving that our existence continues after death means revealing the most important secret for us. After all, you are mortal as a living being that comes to life! When we are born and even from the mother's womb, there is a seal on our butt: "mortal". Since we are created, and in other words, we are not creators, we will "die". According to the Islamic religious belief, we will be laid alone on the musalla stone, we will be buried under the ground alone. Even further, our universe will face death at some future time. A very dark and incredibly cold universal death! Other Realm Research Periods It is possible to divide the researches on the other world into four time periods. These periods can be grouped as 1880-1930, 1930-1960, 1960-1990 and 1990 to present. It is the first period between 1830-1930. It is the period of collecting, classifying and analyzing the "spontaneous" experiences of people who have seen the ghosts of dead people. The accumulation of knowledge that started with psychics also coincides with this period. As the 1930s approached, many case examples were accumulated and concepts such as extrasensory perception and super psi were written. Although parapsychology resorted to experimental methods between 1930 and 1960, many parapsychologists did not engage in much research and experimentation on the afterlife. It can be said that they even neglected such a topic. While this period in the West was the period of experimental parapsychology, in our country, the spiritism movement that was about to end in the West, Dr. It is the period when it started to grow with Bedri Ruhselman. In the next period, Dr. Ruhselman sifted his flour on spiritism and hung his sieve. He had left behind enough knowledge. Between 1960 and 1990, methods were developed to prevent telepathy from their living relatives in an effort to gather information from beyond death. Information was collected by these methods. Death has become the subject of science. Especially with the start of organ transplants, definitions of what death is and the concept of brain death began to be made. Although science was not interested in the afterlife, parapsychologists continued to gather information. Between 1985 and 1995, many people were trained and emerged in the field of parapsychology in our country. New associations were formed and many publishers emerged. Since the 1995s, the otherworld has continued to be the subject of philosophy and other research fields, if not more positively, of science. In addition to the positive discussions, quantum physics was also included in the event. Personal developments also did not stay away from the event and made all efforts to send people to the beyond. The concept of the afterlife is still one of the taboos for science. Well, memories can persist "somewhere else" that persists after physical death. Because looking at some case reports, some reported incidents should not exist if the materialism is true. Darwin's theory of evolution cast doubt on the belief that man has a soul. Despite this, Alfred R. Wallace, one of the founding fathers of the theory of evolution, was an ardent spiritualist and never deviated from his belief that human beings would exist after death. Yet Darwin had encircled the throne on which the soul sat and brought it down. But we know that the belief or idea that something resembling this life will continue forever and untimely in the afterlife continues to bother some. Questions, questions and questions… Are you ready to ask aloud questions about death, talk and discuss scientific information? Surprise and bewilderment are the most important stimulant sources that enable learning. In your warm brain inside your heads, I'm sure you have many questions and you don't have the answers: What is the death that these people and I will experience? Do I really die when I die? Or is something going on? Is it possible to remain? Is there such a thing as “I think therefore I am” outside of our body? Will my personality and memory remain the same after death? When death knocks on the door, does everyone have to open it, or do some return from that door? Does a person die because he is sick or because he is alive? Is disembodied awareness possible? Is there an experience without a brain? Does the experience continue after death? If it continues, is it a continuation of our personality before we die? In the next world, will we be able to wake up here as we wake up every morning? Believing in the afterlife means affirming eternal life, but if time has an end, how will it be? Will we feel alive when our organic body is destroyed? Do we change space with death, or does our consciousness change environment or state? Did we sanctify the afterlife because absence is not a bearable feeling? Are near-death or near-death experiences real? Are people who claim to be born again lying or are they mentally ill? Soulless immortals, are vampires real? Are there ghosts that cause spirits to cause confusion in this world? Is the life after death only virtual, like walking in one's own mind, or is it an objective life? Will we remember our memories before we die? Will it be a private world or a public and open world to all? Will everyone have their own dream? Is it beyond the knowledge of positive science that works with the senses? Can science claim that there is no continuity after death? Is burning in hell more acceptable than non-existence? Is it death that really scares people, or is it the possibility of our existence being completely lost? Where is the other world as space? If the existence of the other world is confirmed, will it be necessary to change the marriage vows to forever, not "until death do us part"? If we get conclusive evidence that psychics connect with the souls of the deceased on the other side, wouldn't we have to develop a new law on the legal rights of the deceased on this side? On the other hand, if the famous scientists who died are not going to stay in the other world and they pursue discovery and invention there, how will the patent right be provided? When the certainty of life after death is revealed, how will we respond to people who intend to commit suicide and who want death (euthanasia) in incurable illness, and what will be its place in law? Again, when psychiatric patients come to psychologists and psychiatrists, how many souls will they bring with them? How will the visit fee be determined in this case and from whom will it be requested? There are also questions about the desire for immortality and the psychology of death. What psychology enters someone who learns that you have a deadly disease and that you have a number of days left, and what stages does he go through emotionally? Is the sadness that we mourn after the death normal? How long does it take, how long does it take to become a diseased condition? Even if I cannot become immortal one day, if I keep the genetic codes of my brain unchanged, can I be brought back to life hundreds of years from now? If I want to freeze my brain or body in time so that it does not change, is the price different? The "death " words and questions that I write a lot, I recommend you to read this book again. Because from the beginning of the topic until the time you read it – except you – 100 people died in the world and 1 person in Turkey! Although the world population is constantly increasing and cities are more crowded, this does not mean that there are no deaths. The numbers are only increasing because the birth rate is higher than the death rate. Cities are growing. In the next 100 years, the current world population of 7,215,731,300 people will die. With the open number, these seven billion two hundred and fifteen thousand imperfect people will be included in this number as the author of this book and you as the reader. But we're going to die somehow from heart disease, but from cancer, but from a stroke in the brain or some other disease. One end of the storyboard is birth, the other end is death… Are you ready to watch the end of the movie?
Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief by Claire Bidwell Smith Pdf
A groundbreaking book exploring the little-known yet critical connections between anxiety and grief, with practical strategies for healing, following the renowned Kübler-Ross stages model If you're suffering form anxiety but not sure why, or if you're struggling with loss and looking for solace, Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief offers help -- and answers. Significant loss and unresolved grief are primary underpinnings of anxiety, something that grief expert Claire Bidwell Smith discovered in her own life and in her practice with her therapy clients. Now, using research and real life stories, Smith breaks down the physiology of anxiety, giving you a concrete foundation of understanding in order to help you heal. Starting with the basics of What Is Anxiety? and What Is Grief? and moving to concrete approaches such as Making Amends, Taking Charge, and Retraining Your Brain, Anxiety takes a big step beyond Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's widely accepted five stages to unpack everything from our age-old fears about mortality to the bare vulnerability a loss can make us feel. With concrete tools and coping strategies for panic attacks, getting a handle on anxious thoughts, and more, Smith bridges these two emotions in a way that is deeply empathetic and eminently practical.

Based firmly on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapies that have been shown over decades to be most effective in treating anxiety problems, the Anxious Truth will teach you how to move past your anxiety symptoms, past endless digging for hidden "root causes", and into an action oriented plan that will help your brain un-learn the bad reaction and fear habits that have gotten you into this predicament. The Anxious Truth will take the cognitive mechanism that got you into a corner, throw it in reverse, and use it to your advantage, backing you out of this jam and into a life free from irrational fear and needless avoidance. More than just a book, The Anxious Truth goes hand-in-hand with The Anxious Truth podcast (https://theanxioustruth.com) and the growing and vibrant social media community surrounding it. Read the book, listen to five years worth of free podcasts chock full of helpful advice and information, and join a large online community of fellow anxiety sufferers that are done talking about this problem and ready to actually take action to solve it. Change is possible. No matter how long you've suffered with your anxiety issues, you can get better.
