THANK YOU dear reader.

I know that you've come to this material, to this research for a variety of reasons...

Sometimes its from the pain of losing a loved one.

Sometimes its from experiencing unexplainable events in your life.

Sometimes its from fear of the unknown - and trying to find out what is known.


I am not a scientist.  I am not a philosopher.  I am not a new age guru. I'm a film guy.

But I am a curious fellow.  And for that reason, I began making a documentary about the topic, and once I was in over my head....
With Robert Towne, Caleb Deschanel, "Personal Best"

I couldn't stop.

After filming hours of between life sessions - sometimes six hours at a time - I realized I either had to edit this footage into a miniseries...

Or publish a book.

Publishers laughed.

Literally.  "very funny, but we aren't publishing memoirs at this time."
For the Memoirs. Author at 23.

Memoir?  I'm talking to people who show evidence that there's life after death.  A memoir?

With my peeps in Moscow
Oh, ok.  So I cut out half the chapters, and just focused on the transcripts of the book and how I came to them.  And in between my musing about what the heck that all might mean.

I'm glad it's helping folks.  I take no credit whatsoever for reporting what I'm hearing from people under deep hypnosis about the Afterlife.  I take credit for noting that it didn't matter who was under hypnosis - THEY WERE ALL SAYING THE SAME THINGS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE.

No matter who the therapist was.

That was worth writing about.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart - but more importantly, thank those folks who let me report on their very personal, very profound journeys into the afterlife.

Now where's the Prosecco?
