The author, Bruce Moen, is an intrepid explorer who investigates
the vast and seemingly unfathomable subject of the afterlife. Going
back to the most ancient times, the afterlife has always been a
subject wrapped in mystery, obscured in the mists of spiritual
and cultural beliefs long held, the mere study of which sometimes
limited to only the highest levels of authority in various religions.
This is especially true today when studied through our Western
mindset where we are told specifically what to believe by our respective
religions and their authority figures. The author reveals, “The
single most important key factor to success in afterlife exploration
is understanding and dealing with the effects of your beliefs upon
your perception.” Thus for many of us, while probing
the afterlife is almost a lost art, this book will serve as a refreshing
new aspect.
Knowledge of the afterlife is a subject that remains forever complex.
Undaunted, Moen seeks to understand this fascinating and problematical
phenomenon that has vexed and perplexed us humans since the beginning
of the world. Through his discoveries, he maps out specific
techniques and effective exercises that are sure to give you unparalleled
accuracy and evidence.
Moen has come up with a direct system of approach to retrieving
and examining past life information. This is an outline of
what you can learn in his guidebook using his techniques and exercises
to explore the afterlife:
1. If you can find a way to communicate with a person
known to be deceased, and;
2. If you can gather information from this person that you
can have no way of knowing except by this contact; and
3. If this information can be verified to be true, accurate,
and real;
4. Therefore, you have gathered evidence that this person
continues to exist beyond death; and
5. If you continue gathering such evidence, the weight of
the evidence will lead you to the truth.
Moen begins by reminding us about the fact that our Universe is
quite large. Astronomers say that the farthest reaches of
our physical Universe are at least 15 billion light years (or approximately
8,790,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles) from the Earth. This
number is incomprehensible because it is impossible for us to imagine
it with our logical minds. Yet everything that exists in
our Universe is a manifestation of form or energy, and all of it
is related to us.
The author divides this book into four parts:
Part I. Concepts of Consciousness
Part II. Tools of Conscious Exploration
Part III. Afterlife Exploration Techniques
Part IV. Retrieval-Based Exploration
In the first chapter, Moen states, “Our afterlife exists
within a non-physical reality in which our physical world senses
are completely useless to explore and learn about our afterlife. You
first need to realize that you have non-physical senses.” We
can perceive, with practice, where the manifestations of form and
energy meet and merge. The author explains how “to trust
ourselves and our intuition, because exploring our afterlife requires
that we learn to use that might be called our non-physical senses. As
I learned to use them, trust was a continuing issue.” He
gives us realistic advice on how to develop this trust as we are
developing our own abilities.
Faced with the idea of death, the author advises us to “discipline
ourselves with self mastery and spiritual evolution, these qualities
can go a long way to build the inner serenity and peace that help
us to accept and believe and understand the afterlife. Initiates
are taught that eyes that close on this world open up to another
in literal death as well as in pseudo death as transformation in
rebirth. Afterlife can be compared to the chrysalis that will
eventually liberate the butterfly.”
There is the strong implication that we must accept this change
(death) with a proper attitude. An old pattern is being replaced
by a new and better method. Moen says, “It’s
as if you have outgrown your skin, you have shed it, and you are
growing a new one. We are sometimes obsessed with trying to understand
this most unknowable thing, death. But to no avail since
death comes no matter what, ready or not, love or not, fear or
acceptance, not a single being can guarantee if tomorrow will bring
life or death. That decision is made by the cosmic forces.”
Another paramount key is to understand and practice the following
maxim: “LOVE AND FEAR CANNOT COEXIST.”
The chapter that really spoke to my heart was the one in which
the author describes in detail how to practice explicit exercises
that are true techniques to prepare us for information about the
afterlife. I particularly liked the one that Moen calls one of
the most important exercises of all: “Feeling and Building
Love Energy.” Why is it so important to feel and build
on the energies of love?
