SURVIVAL?

Body, Mind and Death in the Light of Psychic Experience

Is your consciousness extinguished at death? Or is there evidence indicating its survival?

In this searching study David Lorimer examines the development of speculations on the nature of life and death from the primitives to twentieth-century neurologists and philosophers. He invites you to reconsider your ideas on death by presenting many intriguing case-histories of psychic experience which have too many features in common to be dismissed as 'mere coincidence': apparitions, out-of-the-body experiences, near-death encounters and 'post-mortem' accounts of bodily death. He argues that only a hypothesis involving conscious survival of bodily death provides a complete and coherent explanation of such phenomena.
