    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.

    Douglas M. Baker

    Dr. Douglas M. Baker. English born and raised in South Africa has done extensive scientific research into those hinterlands of the mind which one might call psi-semantics. He graduated in the Arts & Humanities in South Africa and qualified in medicine at Sheffield University (UK) in 1964. Having taught in the East End schools of London for 10 years, he began his tour of the Western world giving lectures and seminars in Esoteric Healing, Esoteric Anatomy, Esoteric Astrology, Esoteric Psychology, Esoteric Science and Metaphysics. 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. He has written over 100 books, many of which have been translated into the 9 European languages at https://www.douglasbaker.com, and his list of downloadable MP3 audio lectures available at www.douglasbaker.org, include 500 live lectures given around the world and on a vast range of subjects. He has led the field in esoteric astrology, producing with a team, his magnum opus, a Dictionary of Astrology for the 21st Century in three volumes. This is in addition to the already existing 11 volume set of books on the same subject.

      Introduction

      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.

      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
