That Undiscover'd Country: A Traveler's Guide to the Afterlife by Oberon Zell Pdf
What happens to our soul/spirit consciousness after we die? Is our essential awareness just extinguished like a snuffed candle, or does it continue on in some invisible and ineffable realm beyond our mortal ken? This has been throughout the entire span of human existence the greatest of all Mysteries. This book begins with death, and continues with the journey the soul may take afterwards to arrive at the Blessed Realm and eventually, perhaps, to return in a new incarnation. The book includes illustrated descriptions and visions of the Netherworlds of various cultures. All of us who are alive today will someday face the final passage into "That Undiscover'd Country." This book is a guide for that inevitable journey. Oberon Zell is a renowned Elder in the global magickal community. In 1967 he was first to claim the identity of "Pagan." Incorporating the first Pagan Church of All Worlds and publishing Green Egg magazine since 1968, he has been instrumental in the coalescence of the modern Pagan movement. He is also Founder and Headmaster of the online Grey School of Wizardry.

A Traveler's Guide to the Afterlife by Mark Mirabello Pdf
A grand survey of the world’s death and afterlife traditions throughout history • Examines beliefs from many different cultures on the soul, heaven, hell, and reincarnation; instructions for accessing the different worlds of the afterlife; how one may become a god; and how ethics and the afterlife may not be connected • Explores techniques to communicate with the dead, including séance instructions • Includes an extensive bibliography of more than 900 sources from around the world Drawing on death and afterlife traditions from cultures around the world, Mark Mirabello explores the many forms of existence beyond death and each tradition’s instructions to access the afterlife. He examines beliefs on the soul, heaven, hell, and reincarnation and wisdom from Books of the Dead such as the Book of Going Forth by Day from Egypt, the Katha Upanishad from India, the Bardo Thodol from Tibet, the Golden Orphic Tablets from Greece, Lieh Tzu from China, and Heaven and its Wonders and Hell from Things Heard and Seen from 18th-century Europe. Considering the question “What is Death?” Mirabello provides answers from a wide range of ancient and modern thinkers, including scientist Nicholas Maxwell, the seer Emanuel Swedenborg, 1st-century Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna, and Greek philosopher Euripides, who opined that we may already be dead and only dreaming we are alive. He explores the trek of the soul through life and death with firsthand accounts of the death journey and notes that what is perceived as death here may actually be life somewhere else. He reveals how, in many traditions, ethics and the afterlife are not connected and how an afterlife is possible even without a god or a soul. Sharing evidence that consciousness is not simply a product of the brain, he offers a strong rebuttal to nihilists, materialists, and the Lokayata philosophical school of India who believe in the “finality” of death. He explains how specters and ghosts are produced and offers techniques to communicate with the dead as well as instructions for an out-of-body experience and the complete procedure for a séance. With an extensive bibliography of more than 900 sources, this guide offers comprehensive information on afterlife beliefs from the vast majority of cultures around the world and throughout history--a veritable “traveler’s guide” to the afterlife.

The subtitle of Professor's O'Meara's book, A Traveler's Guide for Christians, is a particularly apt means to dispel a common misunderstanding of the Christian discourse about life beyond death. The theology of the "Last Things," or eschatology, is not an advance report of what will happen after death, a peek into the life beyond death to satisfy our curiosity. It is important to note that the few biblical statements on heaven and hell are not descriptions of the afterlife but prescriptions or guides on how to live this present life in a way that will make us worthy of God's gift of eternal life in communion with the Triune God, the saints, and the entire human family, in a renewed and transformed cosmos. O'Meara's volume offers precisely this all-too-necessary guide. More precisely, this guide is a roadmap, a GPS, to use a contemporary expression, for our journey toward God - A Traveler's Guide.In this sense O'Meara joins a host of Christian classics since the late Middle Ages known as ars bene moriendi - the art of dying well. Right in the first two chapters he shows us how to die well, to look at death in the eye and not resort to (useless) denials. He urges us to view death as an "entrance," not as an end. In the next three chapters, O'Meara accompanies us on our journey to God through time and life during which, by God's grace, we will be able to mature as human beings and as Christians. The last three chapters give a glimpse - but only a glimpse, not a descriptive report - into life beyond death. The pervasive tone of the book is one of joy and hope, not fear and despair. O'Meara speaks eloquently and beautifully about the "power of hope" and about "transforming light," a message so appropriate for time threatened by war and rumors of war, racism and xenophobia, and the prospect of ecological destruction.

The Guide to the Afterlife is a mixture of fact and fiction, faith and mysticism at its best." The Midwest Review of Books

A Traveler's Guide to the Afterlife by Timothy Gordon Pdf
This nine-lesson group or self-study series on A Traveler's Guide to the Afterlife is part of an overall collection of 61 lessons that cover many of the fundamental Christian teachings and beliefs in a topical or thematic sense. It assumes no prior knowledge of the Bible or any specific religious background. It does assume that the participant has an interest in learning these important Biblical, historical, and doctrinal truths in order to grow in their faith. I call it a Bible literacy study guide because it provides a baseline literacy on these topics. It was designed to be a well-rounded study covering Christian doctrine, history, apologetics and practical life. Some of the topics are sequential in nature and will cover a period of several studies (i.e. church history studies). This is an ongoing project that is updated when necessary.These study guides are suitable for small groups, Sunday-school classes, or personal enrichment. There is a need for these fundamental biblical and historical teachings in the church today. They complement the study of the Bible text by providing an overall view of the subject. New believers need to understand and learn many of these basic teachings before they can properly understand exegetical/ expository studies. Many seasoned believers in the body may also lack the teaching in these areas and would benefit from them.Timothy Gordon (DMin, Southern Evangelical Seminary) is an adjunct instructor for the Biblical Studies Center in Boise, Idaho.
