Gregory Shushan discusses near-death experience and the origins of the World’s afterlife beliefs. Taking readers on a journey into our ancestors’ beliefs about death, dying, and the afterlife, Shushan reveals the powerful influence of near-death experiences (NDEs) on religious beliefs and ritual practices throughout human history. Focusing on five ancient world regions, he explores each civilization’s afterlife beliefs. Although each of the civilizations developed independently, there are similarities among afterlife beliefs too consistent and specific to be mere coincidence. This leads to the profound implication that afterlife beliefs are not entirely invented by cultures: they also stem from universal truths derived from NDEs. We also explore the metaphysical implications, including what an actual afterlife would look like. Revealing that NDEs have occurred throughout human history, Shushan shows how they continue to influence our understanding of what lies beyond death to this day.
