We live in a mysterious world in which we are surrounded daily by a recurrent, constant and certain phenomenon: death, the greatest mystery of human life.Death makes us wonder not only about "where we are going" and "where we will go", but also about "where we come from" and therefore about our mysterious origins.Esotericism and spirituality provided us with broad perspectives on the interpretation of the life-death phenomenon and opened a door to a dimension different from that of the ordinary material world.Professionals in the scientific and medical fields started to get interested in what lies beyond the commonly understood physical life, no longer being able to ignore that there is something that goes far beyond the boundaries of academic science.This book provides a synthesis of what can currently be found in the literature on topics related to the perspective of the survival of the soul after death. It covers several topics, since this is a quite developed field of study and it is connected to different areas of knowledge. It aims foremost to give an overview of what religious and spiritual traditions teach us about life and death. Subsequently, it will focus on the phenomenon of near-death experiences, according to the experience and research of doctors, psychologists and numerous subjects who lived them. The investigation will continue towards the latest discoveries in the field of past-life regression hypnosis, following the research of leading experts. Then the phenomenon of reincarnation will be analysed. Following this thread, other studies are discovered, in particular by Dr. Michael Newton, concerning an even deeper area of investigation: the "life between lives", that is, what the soul experiences when it is in the spiritual worlds between one incarnation and another, and what the methods of choosing its next physical life are. Along this path, we will find the subsequent research of Dolores Cannon who, during her long professional practice, came across interesting and sensational discoveries regarding not only past lives and the spiritual life between physical incarnations, but also the link between human beings' life and the evolution of the Earth in relation to the universe. We will inevitably come into contact with a "lost knowledge" that is closely connected to the greatest mysteries. Precisely for this reason, during the discussion a digression will be made to briefly analyse the UFO and alien phenomenon. We will continue with a brief overview of the phenomenon of mediumship and the body of knowledge that the doctrine of spiritism has offered us. We will enter the field of psychotherapy to analyse the grief elaboration process, but also to discover unexpected perspectives of communication with the deceased through the IADC method, founded by Dr. Allan Botkin. The mysteries of dreams and out-of-body experiences will be investigated later, approaching the true spiritual nature of our being. In the following chapters, we will face science, dissecting its limits, as well as its possibilities, and we will study the new frontiers of quantum physics. These seem to confirm the existence of spiritual dimensions that cannot be perceived by the physical senses and offer us an excellent perspective on the possibility of the survival of the soul after death. Finally, the right tribute will be given to what Western and Eastern esoteric sciences, in particular Alchemical Hermeticism and Tibetan Buddhism, have to offer us not only to understand the mystery of life and death, but to invite us to undertake a journey of research and spiritual work to face death with a new awareness.We are divine sparks, we are like beings of light who temporarily disguise themselves as actors on Earth's stage, carrying in our depths, although clouded by oblivion, the memory of the beauty of the spiritual worlds.
