Product Description
Deepak Chopra has touched millions of readers by demystifying our deepest spiritual concerns while retaining their poetry and wonder. Now he turns to the most profound mystery: What happens after we die? Is this one question we were not meant to answer, a riddle whose solution the universe keeps to itself? Chopra tells us there is abundant evidence that “the world beyond” is not separated from this world by an impassable wall; in fact, a single reality embraces all worlds, all times and places. At the end of our lives we “cross over” into a new phase of the same soul journey we are on right this minute.
In Life After Death, Chopra draws on cutting-edge scientific discoveries and the great wisdom traditions to provide a map of the afterlife. It’s a fascinating journey into many levels of consciousness. But far more important is his urgent message: Who you meet in the afterlife and what you experience there reflect your present beliefs, expectations, and level of awareness. In the here and now you can shape what happens after you die.
By bringing the afterlife into the present moment, Life After Death opens up an immense new area of creativity. Ultimately there is no division between life and death—there is only one continuous creative project. Chopra invites us to become cocreators in this subtle realm, and as we come to understand the one reality, we shed our irrational fears and step into a numinous sense of wonder and personal power.

 Instructive, objective and guiding, eye opening! June 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved this book. Deepak is giving us a tour of different approaches to life a after death and it's quite objective. You can decide what you choose to believe, it's really a personal choice. Somehow, I felt compelled to investigate his proposed view on the subject because it's helping me out!
I come from a Christian background where sin was the main act. Unfortunately, I moved away from spirituality because it felt wrong...Deepak is helping me connect back with the source, the universal love that happens to flow everywhere in every one when not masked by fear, judgment, anxiety, guilt etc... A eye opening book for a better life.
Pure Conscience = "I am" June 2, 2008
A book that achieves the unattainable: to reconcile science with religion and philosophies on such complex issues such as: what happens after we die?, where do we come from?, where do we go to?, why is it that we are here?, what's life's sense?, does personality survive our death?, where is God?, Will I ever see my beloved departed ones? (by the way, you bet we all will!) etc...
This Deepak Chopra's masterpiece very clearly (and in simple terms) explains how is that conscience masters us and the whole cosmos. It goes on to explain with beautiful stories, metaphors and scientific evidence the mechanisms behind our brains and mind, our bodies, our souls and the definitive connections between us all and every single "thing" in the universe. We are and everything else, the expression of the cosmos!
This book prepares us all for an inevitable outcome... so, it's both, a consolation and an inspiring source of invaluable information... definitively the kind all human beings should receive as soon as we are capable of understanding that the day we are born is the day we begin to die, only to keep on living...
Another Deep One From Deepak May 23, 2008
This book is yet another brilliant and deep read from one of the world's leading spiritual leaders. A scientific viewpoint which convinces even the deepest of skeptics that there is a world beyond the one we currently live in, this book gives hope and reassurance to all who want to believe in the paradise that is to come. I loved every word.

I did not want to like it- yet it won me over. May 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I initially wanted to write this book off as yet another potboiler of spiritual materialism. I was predisposed to reject it as another cheapening of deep and profound matters in order to turn a buck. Then I forced myself to actually read it. I found that it fit with my own hard won views on the subject. There was certainly no cheapening of spiritual matters here. In fact, I wish to add a copy of this book to my personal library.
One thing that helped change my mind was the author's admission that his own mother died the year before this book was published. This is reflected by the obvious sincerity and depth of focus on the topic.
The author's background in Vedanta ties the book together. While he explores many avenues ancient and modern it is tied together by returning to the Vedas and the rishis. This appealed to me for I have found this to be the root of the perennial philosophy- the anchor of the Golden Thread. The teaching of the three domains (physical objects, subtle objects, and pure consciousness) within the interpenetrating Reality of the Akashic field resonates with truth. Moreover, the concept that you can switch your primary allegiance from the physical realm to the subtle in life- and be supported by it- has been satisfactorily verified in my own life. Similarly, over identification with the physical realm will hold you back from what is truly significant in life.
The author states that there will never be a definitive book on this subject. With people at so many different levels of development, how could there be? However, this book will open the door to the Mystery just enough, that those who are ready may possibly enter in.
I read it, I loved it, but I'm still searching for the meaning March 3, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
When I'm not playing poker, I'm searching for the meaning of life I so often feel I'm missing the point of. So, this book was one I couldn't resist diving into. It's frustrating because you know you're not going to get the tangible proof the title promises, but it's definately like having a conversation with the wisest philosopher on this subject. As I was reading, it was hard to put down. I kept saying in my head, YES! This does make so much sense. In the end, I found peace during the pieces of time I read. However, I'm no more intelligent or insightful than before. I haven't converted to any new religion. If you miss your days of wasting hours on conversations like the subject of this book in the college dorms, this is the perfect pensive opus.
