Those who claim knowledge of the mystical will always be confronted by the sceptical attitude of those who deny the very existence of the spiritual realm. Claiming to know universal truths by mystical insight alone will not suffice to convince the rationalists. If such a spiritual world-view is to be more widely accepted it must be substantiated by sensory data supported by coherent argument that is compatible with scientific knowledge. To insist on the truth of events that defy not only science but even common sense is not logical in a rational world.
This book seeks to provide a realistic reassessment of the role of religion. It describes a mass of empirical evidence for the existence of another dimension of life - and death. It provides a scientific interpretation in simple terms for continuing discarnate survival of the soul and the phenomena of psi. It shows how human consciousness as part of a holistic cosmic spirituality has evolved through human history. From this emerges a tenable hypothesis of consciousness in incarnate and discarnate existence, for such an approach provides credible evidence for belief in an afterlife.
