We Live Forever: The Real Truth about Death

This is the best book I have read on NDEs. Could be very helpful for those who fear death.

"Long-time professional researcher and recognized authority on the near-death phenomenon, P.M.H.Atwater is amply qualified to interpret and analyze the many detailed accounts from people of all ages and levels of society. Her conclusions, deeply insightful and convincing, build a non-denominational and cross-cultural basis for the science of death, near-death, and the after-life. She creates a credible and useful picture of the soul - its nature, scope, qualities, and its role in one's life and death. Heaven and hell are explored within the many "energetic" levels of reality in and out of the earth plane.Some of the information will startle and fascinate those readers new to this realm: aborted twins, who have "grown up" on the other side, showing up to greet the near-death experiencer; encountering a future child; reliving one's conception, with the attendant knowledge of choosing the most suitable genes for one's life purpose. Much of the information will comfort and relieve those with a fear of dying and the afterlife. To this end, a listing of groups, projects, music, and videos is full of helpful contacts, including a groundbreaking presentation, "As You Die," available in various formats, to guide a loved one through the process in peace. The candid sharing of her three deaths makes this Atwater's most personal, heartfelt, and valuable book yet." ...as it appeared in the Sept/Oct '04 issue of "Venture Inward Magazine" by Susan Lendvay

PMH Atwater brings the subject of death to life with words both poetic and real in WE LIVE FOREVER. Sharing the most intimate details of her own near death experiences, Atwater invites us to open our minds to a deeper understanding of who we really are and how we are all interconnected through life and death. I love the way Atwater describes how everything in the universe breathes, and how we can be at one with each other and God when we breathe together. WE LIVE FOREVER includes essential information on assisting those who are dying to make the smoothest possible transition in easy-to-follow steps. This book contains numerous fascinating facts and stories that explain how we know when we are going to die, how we can see and feel peoples' prayers for us when we've died, and how many different types of experiences are available to us when we die. WE LIVE FOREVER is essential reading for anyone seeking answers to what awaits us when we leave our physical bodies behind, as well as for anyone caring for someone who is about to die.

If I were teaching a college philosophy course, I'd give only passing recognition to all of the well-known philosophers in history -- Pascal, Descartes, Sartre, Hume, et al -- and get to some real philosophy, the type of material discussed by P.M.H. Atwater in this 158-page book. All those old philosophers do is discuss whether God exists or whether He, She, ot It is a product of the need to believe in something greater, how God can permit evil, etc., etc. They rarely get to the root of the problem and address whether consciousness survives physical death. It is necessary to deal with that for everything else to unfold. Knowing that there is a Higher Intelligence, Creator, God, Cosmic Force, whatever name we choose to give to Him, Her, or It doesn't in itself help us understand the purpose of our lives or give real meaning to them. To put it another way, we have to first look for survival of the consciousness and let God emerge from that. If we look for God first, we never get off the ground, because God is beyond our comprehension. And so all those old philosophers just went around in circles searching for God and meaning in life. The near-death experience (NDE) is one phenomenon that helps us better understand what happens after death. While NDEs were taking place well before Drs. Raymond Moody and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross started writing about them 30 or so years ago, there was no significant research before them. The author had three NDEs and tells us what she learned from them as well as from extensive research she has done with the NDE phenomenon. God, the meaning of life, and the afterlife were all revealed to her, much as they were to other near-death experiencers. "Instintively, I knew the middle was the centerpoint of creation, God's portal," she writes. "As I moved toward it, I was engulfed by a force that I knew, I absolutely knew.was the presence of God. I have no words to describe what happened to me in that presence, except to say that the memory of it still causes me to weep. Instantaneously, I felt as if I knew all things. Yet even more was revealed about the inner workings of creation and consciousness, until it seemed as if I would surely burst fromt he sheer immensity of the knowledge pouring into me." While Atwater may not have been able to find words to describe what happened to her in the presence of "God," she finds ample words to describe what she otherwise learned during her three NDEs as well as what happened to other experiencers she has interviewed. It makes for a fascinating read and there is much more substance to it than you can find in the writings of any of those old philosophers. This book should be the first book offered in Philosophy 101. I have read a number of other books by the author, but they were before I started reviewing books at this site. However, I would give them all five stars.

I have read ever book PMH Atwater has written and believe she is the definitive researcher on the near-death experience. Rather than extracting information from her extensive near-death research, this is her personal story which is truly inspiring and worthy of acclaim. It is wonderful to experience her own voice telling of her three, compelling near-death stories. Her dedication to transforming the spiritual paradigm from one of fearing God and "death" to one of understanding that death is illusion and God is but pure Love, is a great contribution to our society and to the individual seeking personal spiritual growth.
