The Forgotten Kingdom The Map of Return: Twenty sources on death, (Paperback)

<p><b>If consciousness operates independently of the body, what happens when the body shuts down?</b></p><p>After several books exploring what human consciousness is and how it is cultivated, that question was still open. This book is what I found when I stopped settling for not knowing.</p><p>I didn't find the answer in any single place. I found it - or something that resembles it - by putting twenty sources on the table and cross-referencing them piece by piece: </p><ul><li>Ancient sacred texts that have thought about death for millennia (the Tibetan <i>Bardo Thödol</i>, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Plato, the Upanishads, the <i>Pistis Sophia</i>, the Bible).</li><li>Contemporary clinical researchers of near-death experiences (Van Lommel, Greyson, Moody, Alexander, Moorjani).</li><li>Conscious explorers of the beyond (Swedenborg, Monroe, Stead).</li><li>Anglo-Saxon and French mediums (Kardec, Tymn).</li><li>Hypnotherapists who take their patients back to the period between lives (Newton, Cannon).</li></ul><p>Sources separated by centuries, continents, and cultures. Some with documented influence on one another, others with no possible contact between them. What emerges when they are cross-referenced, piece by piece, is a pattern hard to explain as coincidence.</p><p>The result can be one of two things: a coherent fiction that twenty independent sources happened to assemble separately, or a map of what happens when we die.</p><p>I am not a physician, nor a theologian, nor a professional philosopher. I am an industrial engineer. My aim is to cross-reference data, look for patterns, and strip out noise. This book is what that work produced when applied to the greatest of human enigmas.</p><p>The pieces are here. Each reader decides whether they fit.</p><p> </p><p><i>To dissolve the ego in life is to experience what death reveals.</i></p>
