Experiencing the Next World Now
by Michael Grosso, Ph.D.
Embark on the Ultimate Adventure of Consciousness |
|
|
|

Famed philosopher Michael Grosso offers a compelling argument
for the existence of an afterlife -- and shows how we can
explore it ourselves while still alive -- in EXPERIENCING
THE NEXT WORLD NOW (Paraview Pocket Books; January 6,
2004; $14.00).
Where can we turn to for answers? Mainstream science says
nothing at all will happen after death, religion reminds us to
keep the faith, and popular culture is more entertaining than
enlightening. But there is ample evidence for survival after
death, and where it leads is the subject of Michael Grosso’s
breakthrough book.
Grosso proposes that the reason mediums are able to contact
the dead is that the Next World is intertwined with the
physical world. Grosso shows how common features of our mental
life and creativity are bridges to the “next” world, and that
there is much indirect evidence that we inhabit an
afterlife-friendly universe.
After establishing solid grounds for the belief in a life
after death, Grosso shows readers how to have personal
experiences. Such experimentation includes time-tested ways of
leaving the body, communicating with spirits of loved ones,
and tasting the power of the light -- all part of the new
afterlife paradigm.
Micahael Grosso’s book provides readers with a framework for
exploring the next world now. In addition to specific
practices, this means changing our lives in subtle yet
concrete ways, such as working on our diet, changing our
philosophy of work, and exploring our deepest sense of who we
are. Whatever survives death must lie close at hand, within
the depths of our living selves: EXPERIENCING THE NEXT
WORLD NOW points the way there -- the ultimate adventure
of consciousness. |

“The book’s argument begins at a measured pace,
with an emphasis on scientifically observed cases…Fans of the
paranormal may appreciate Grosso’s wide-ranging survey, which
includes not only familiar cases but some rescued from
historical obscurity.” -- Publishers Weekly
“A daring new vision of consciousness is currently taking
shape, in which the mind transcends the physical brain and
body. This new picture of the mind holds the promise of
survival of bodily death -- immortality. Dr. Michael Grosso is
one of the leading architects of this new paradigm.” -- Larry
Dossey, MD, author of Mind Beyond Body, Healing Words,
and Reinventing Medicine
“In The Final Choice, Michael shares his brilliant insights on
the direction of human consciousness. He is an original
thinker whose contributions in the field of human
consciousness reflect his deep understanding of the most
pressing spiritual questions of our time. His skill at
investigating the afterlife leads a reader into a grounded
pursuit of the foundation of our inner work. He tackles the
questions about what lies ahead -- and within us -- with
masterful skill. His genius as a writer is also worthy of
praise. Michael is a magnificent writer. He knows how to
utilize the English language to its maximum potential. I
cannot encourage you enough to enjoy the mind -- and the pen
-- of the mind of Michael Grosso.” -- Caroline M. Myss, author
of Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of the Spirit
“Having heard Michael Grosso speak on several occasions, I
can’t think of anyone who can handle this challenging and
all-important material any better. He expresses himself with
wonderful clarity, and with humor, and manages at the same
time to maintain a proper attitude of skepticism. Without that
note of careful skepticism, Michael would not have gained my
ear, nor will he with the thousands of readers who are
open-minded but not yet convinced that there is a life after
death. My confidence is such that Michael and I have scheduled
meetings to discuss the spirituality and philosophy of humor,
a project I personally look forward to.” -- John Cleese |
