Life After Death

By Douglas M. Baker

Life After Death

The question of whether we survive the grave has been in the minds of men for countless ages and is indeed one of the cornerstones of every major world religion, and in particular of the more recent movement of the Spiritualist Church. Many have endeavoured to answer this question, whether out of a personal obsession and devotion or as an act of serving their fellow man, and our libraries are filled with their treatises — some more enlightened than others.

Dr. Douglas Baker is not only well versed on the teachings of Ancient Wisdom, but a qualified medical doctor and has travelled the world investigating and lecturing on, among other things, this very important subject of life after death.

In this work he follows a very logical, step-by-step analysis of the kinds of questions facing Western man who, throwing off the dogma of the Piscean Age and tiring of stories of rosy-cheeked cherubim playing harps for eternity, simply wants the facts to such basic questions as :-

• How do we survive the grave?
• What do we survive in?
• What will the environment be like when we do survive?
• What is the purpose of survival?

Dr. Baker's concise question-and-answer format makes this mystery-riddled subject very understandable for truth seekers of all ages, and is published in conjunction with his extensive public lecture tour of England in an effort to bring many so-called mystery teachings to the attention of the public as we approach the Age in which man will no longer proceed on "blind faith", but rather becomes a knower.

He, more than any other, set in motion the trends towards alternative methods of medicine which have transformed that field in Britain today. As medical advisor to the De la Warr laboratories in Oxford, he undertook research into Biomagnetism and quantum physics their effects on the human aura and dark matter, producing the book by the same name in conjunction with George de la Warr. Through the years he has given more than 15,000 lectures and attracted people from all over the world to his Esoteric Science Festivals and International Summer Schools staged in America, Canada, England, Switzerland, Italy, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. His transformative experiences during the Second World War, when twice severely wounded, set the pattern for his life long investigations into the Powers Latent in Man. His extensive esoteric writings are said to be the largest collection in the world produced by a living author.

Foreword

It has become a current practice amongst many scholars to pick up some easy money by examining appropriate research material in various libraries and from it, to abstract a series of facts (sometimes quite unconnected) and to put these together into a free-flowing and appealing book which publishers snap up. The result is a book that is merely a presentation of extracted material, lacking in the human element as well as in all those sensitive perceptions which are associated with worthier publications written by those who have actually participated
