The perfect book for this Good Friday, journalist and personal research of the author on what there is after death. 15 years of post-life investigation to gain serenity in the face of death
What’s going on when we die? What becomes of our consciousness? Does it survive brain death? According to him, when we die we change people.
These vertiginous questions imposed themselves on Stéphane Allix at the time of the death of his brother. He therefore mobilized all his skills and his instinct as a journalist to try to elucidate the mystery of consciousness. Consciousness acts on our bodies.
Research in medicine or neuroscience, as well as the countless unexplained phenomena around death (imminent death experiences, extrasensory perceptions, etc.), suggest that our consciousness has a spiritual dimension. Is this what the mystics call soul? To unravel the mystery, Stéphane decides to experience this dimension himself through alternative paths, millennial spiritual practices, such as shamanism. Let’s say that this dimension is a bit long.
-He also denounces our consumer society with practices that make us lose a little sense of our lives, we think we fill our spiritual void by buying, consuming.
It is a scientific survey, with a spiritual dimension. A father anxious to transmit to his daughter the appeasement provided by this trip to the borders of life.
Journalist, former war reporter, founder of the Inrees (Institute of Research on Extraordinary Experiences) and the unexplored magazine, designer and presenter of extraordinary surveys on M6. Lots of references if you want to know more.
In pocket version at Harper Collins, it’s perfect.
