Universe of Worlds: Further Explorations of the Soul's Existence After Death Book

Grant has stitched together a collection of quotations and references about the afterlife together with his own illuminations on the subject. There is by no means overwhelming agreement among mystics, psychics, mediums and esotericists about this topic; Grant has been careful not to include contradictions. I will say, however, that the school of thought he advocates does represent the great majority of writers who have expounded on the meaning of human existence'before, during and after our earthly sojourn. This being an A.R.E. publication, it supports the fundamentals voiced by Edgar Cayce while in his between-worlds state of trance (when he regained consciousness he was unaware of what he had uttered). Grant also leans to a large extent on the medium Betty White's legacy; that material is covered by a lengthy chapter of its own. Mrs. White was able to communicate with the 'Invisibles' and journeyed far into the fourth dimension of consciousness. Her husband, Edward Stuart White, recorded and maintained extensive files about her experiences and wrote numerous books in the 40s, most of them are still in print.

Someone who is familiar with the subject of the afterlife (as discerned by the religiously non-orthodox) will not find anything unexpected in this slim volume. They may find it bland. But for those seeking unadorned and comforting psychic 'truth' about life after death it is an excellent resource. The author presents a coherent and credible case that there is meaning to life on earth and we all have roles to play in weaving the universal fabric of existence long after we make the transition to 'Summerland.'
