INTRODUCTION

Life after death. What topic has elicited more mystery, fear, wonder and speculation from mankind?

Our earliest recorded history tells of concern with the possibility of an afterlife and what may come after the final frontier of death is crossed. Once mankind evolved to the level of abstract thought (beyond the all-consuming imperative for survival), the human mind turned to the search for truth and meaning. Wondering, our ancient ancestors cast their eyes upward to the heavens. One mystery seemed to lead on to another:

·         What were these luminous bodies - sun, moon and stars that established order with their predictable cycles?

·         What forces created day, night, and the seasons?

·         How did human mortality reflect these natural, but mysterious processes?

·        Once swallowed up in death, did the light of human existence remain forever eclipsed, or, like the rising sun and the phases of the new moon, did it return?

·        What indeed were birth and death and what came after?

        

The purpose of this book is to search out the possibilities that such ancient speculation engendered. This investigation proceeds from the assertion that Life itself not only survives physical death, but is in a very real sense the only force and reality. On the soul's emergence from the material plane, far greater possibilities than the conventional notions of Heaven and Hell await.

Many people believe that when the body dies, the soul either proceeds through the Pearly Gates to a blissful, Edenic Heaven or through the Gates of Hell to a far less pleasant destination. The possibility that neither of these places exist as conventionally understood is explored in this book. We will investigate the possibility that an all-loving Source exists, a Being who wants to experience all possible modes of existence and so projects Itself into countless individual manifestations. These modes of existence encompass not only life on this plane and planet, but on infinite others, beyond anything we can even imagine.

On Planet Earth, this Being sent forth fragments and sparks of its own divine energy in order to create this one model, that of human experience.

(Please note: The use of the pronoun "It" for this Supreme Being signifies only that we have no reason to believe that gender is relevant to the Force behind all creation, and thus encompasses, both male and female. It is not used disrespectfully!)

What if, in the beginning, we were divine energy? Sparks from that original Oneness who, in the process of having a Human experience here on Planet Earth, got stuck here? What would that drama look like – and how could we escape the trap?

This book posits the theory that there is indeed the possibility for escape from the cycle of life, death and rebirth. By exploring the history of Earth's ancient mythologies, and the concept of specific roles the Soul plays out here, we can be shown the path of return to our original loving Source.

This is not a book on mythology or astrology, but both will be used to help explain these concepts and connections. Playing the divine role you were originally meant to play, and thus connecting with your true Soul, is of great importance to you as an individual and for all of us collectively as mankind.
