The response to this highly readable, beautifully illustrated, 90,000 word, 30 chapter book has been overwhelming, especially at a price of only $13.95! (If it's not in, they'll order it for you.) Experiencing the Soul is the most comprehensive anthology of interviews ever assembled on the extraordinary ways we can experience the soul during earth-life, before birth, at the moment of our death, and after death. This stellar cast of world-renowned luminaries include Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the Dalai Lama, Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Raymond Moody, Jean Houston, Dannion Brinkley, Betty Eadie, Ram Dass, and over two dozen other pioneering authorities and first-hand soul experiencers. This book offers groundbreaking scientific evidence for the existence of the soul, and we are shown intimate glimpses of how the author's own personal "soul-discovery" sowed the seeds of love and greatness in their lives. The most important and hopeful message in this anthology is that we can all potentially experience the bliss of the soul and the Greater Reality now, and not merely as a by-product of a life-threatening crisis, such as in near-death experiences. As a hospice social worker, interviewer/editor Eliot Jay Rosen has the courage and wisdom to emphasize what others might minimize or deny entirely: the importance of preparing for the transition we call death throughout earth-life. Eliot Jay Rosen, LISW, ACSW, is the creator of the companion film-documentary, Experiencing the Soul. He is a licensed clinical social worker, and presently director of the nonprofit organization, For A World We Choose Foundation. $13.95 Tradepaper 5-3/8" x 8-3/8" ISBN: 1-56170-461-X On this website we are honored to feature the visionary art of Alex Grey, which is also found in the book, Experiencing the Soul.

The book is divided into six sections: The Soul at the moment of death The Soul after death The Soul before birth The Soul in the near-death experience Preparing the Soul for a healing passage Science and the Soul This photo of a 10-day old infant with his 84 year-old grandfather symbolizes the polarity of birth and death. At the time of birth, the soul enters the physical world. At the time of death, the soul leaves the physical world.
