Inhaltsangabe

Throughout life, we wonder: Is there life after this life? What would such a life be like? Do we enter a paradise? Do we encounter our deceased friends and loved ones? Our Western culture tries to avoid thoughts of aging and death, and the most simplistic explanations are often enough. But perhaps a detailed view of our life after this life can help us prepare for what is to come.

Arie Boogert, a seasoned priest of The Christian Community, offers a detailed description of what happens after we die. He begins with the days immediately following death and, juxtaposing descriptions by Rudolf Steiner, shows how we separate gradually from our earthly existence, beginning with a vivid review of our life on Earth. He then shows how those who are deceased gradually leave physical life behind and acclimate to a new and very different reality--how we come to understand the effects of our actions and inaction by witnessing and feeling the slights and hurts we have caused others; and the realms we experience before we move on to form our destiny and a new life.

Moreover, the book shows how those still alive on Earth can maintain contact and help those who have died. With the help of Rudolf Steiner's meditative verses and prayers and by understanding the deceased's reality and experiences, we can accompany them on their way through the worlds of spirit.

What Happens after We Die offers much needed help to all who want to come to terms and work with death and grieving in a responsible and realistic way.

This volume is a translation from Dutch of Onze Doden. Rudolf Steiner over het omgaan met dood en sterven (Uitgeverij Christofoor, Zeist, Netherlands, 1992).
