“This book is a treasure. It ranks among the loftiest expressions in modern survival literature.” — Larry Dossey , M.D. What has been missing from my work, from everyone else’s work, from personal stories, from those who interpret personal stories, from experts in religion and spirituality, from the news media, the scientists, the grief-stricken, and the born again . . . is the voice of the collective . . . inside what we all seek to describe. What lies at the heart of near-death experiences? A God that in ways beyond description, smiles at you. Not the God of holy writ, but a Sourceplace—an all-encompassing Oneness, Allness, that, as It breathes, moves skin and bark and wings and stars and babes and rivers and comets and dreams and faces . . . as well as the mustard on your hotdog. The book you have before you releases that collective voice, the sum of millions of people—worldwide—who speak as one. It is nothing less than the proof that everyone on planet Earth, in their own heart, seeks to have: that God exists. P.M.H. ATWATER is the author of more than 15 books, including Future Memory, Beyond the Indigo Children, We Live Forever, and I Died Three Times in 1977—The Complete Story. She has been researching the near-death phenomenon since 1978, and is considered a world authority on the subject. She is a workshop leader at major spiritual/holistic gatherings, and has addressed audiences at the International Association for Near-Death Studies, as well as the United Nations, and in numerous countries. Her books have been translated in over 12 languages. She has appeared on Larry King Live, Regis and Kathy Lee, and Geraldo. Author Residence: Charlottesville, VA "The book you have before you releases that collective voice, the sum of millions of people--worldwide--who speak as one. It is nothing less than the proof that everyone on planet Earth, in their own heart, seeks to have: that God exists." ― Attune Magazine " . . . fascinating book on a controversial subject . . . I felt pulled out of my comfort zone." -- Mark Dohle ― The Christian Review " . . . stunning and revelatory book of wisdowm teachings . . . Even people generally familiar with NDEs will find much to treasure in this illuminating book written in PMH's inimitable warm and winning style." ― Kenneth Ring, Ph.D. "It is rare that such a huge cache of wisdom is packed in so few pages." ― Larry Dossey "[A] remarkable summary of the author's life philosophy of love, freedom, knowing and service—a timely reminder of essential values." ― Network Review, Journal of the Scientific and Medical Network p.m.h. atwater, L.H.D ., is one of the original researchers in the field of near-death studies, having begun her work in 1978. Her research base now covers nearly 4,000 adult and child experiencers. Some of her findings have been verified in clinical studies, among them the prospective study conducted in Holland and published in  Lancet  medical journal, 12-15-01. Her  The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences , was featured in an online version of  Newsweek Magazine , and remains the only encyclopedia of the entire phenomenon worldwide. She has received many lifetime achievement awards and travels the world speaking on all aspects of the near-death experience, transformations of consciousness, and the evolution of the human species.  Near-Death Experiences:  The Rest of The Story  is the summation of 33 years of research, highly controversial because of its frankness and revelatory nature. Her book  Future Memory  expands the subject of changing consciousness into new areas, and reads like walking through a labyrinth. Keenly interested in children and evolution, her in-depth work with child experiencers is detailed in  The New Children and Near-Death Experiences ; updated to include the surprising characteristics of normal children born since 1982 in  Children of the Fifth World.  A real departure for her is  Dying to Know You:  Proof of God in the Near-Death Experience . This is not a research book, nor a personal story, nor an opinion piece. Rather, this is the first book yet written that sums up the voice of the many:  the collective, speaking in their own voice, about the collective experience. Bold, blunt, daring– Dying to Know You  speaks directly about Mission, God, Soul, Life, Death, Heaven, Hell, the Big Picture, Revelations, Truth. And us tells about eternity, our real home. Foreword On a flight to San Francisco, April 19, 2013, the unexpected happened. What I mean by that is, an energy in front of my face began writing a book. First came the title poage, then the table of contents, front quotes, outline for eleven chapters, and backmatter. This was energy--just air that seemed possessed of its own consciousness. No exotic or spooky being, no voices, no channeling, no vision. Just energy, in front of my face, writing a book. Very strange. After a while I took pen to paper and wrote the thing down. This was uncomfortable because it made
