Book Review: The Afterlife Experiments

The Afterlife Experiments is an intriguing study
of some of the top mediums in the United States today. The author has
managed to pull together a "Dream Team" of mediums including
Suzane Northrop, John Edward, George Anderson and several others who were
asked to contact deceased loved ones in a series of experiments.
The transcripts from these reading leave little
doubt that something incredible is happening when these gifted people get
to work. Schwartz clearly started out as an interested skeptic, but the
data he uncovered quickly led him to realize there was more than cold
reading and self-deception going on. Skeptical arguments are fairly
considered, but it is clear from the evidence that there are often moments
where the mediums are made aware of details that it would be impossible to
know, unless they are in fact speaking to the consciousness of the dead.
The Afterlife Experiments is destined to become a
classic in the library of any spiritual seeker, but it is only the first
step in a long path to discovery. Much more research needs to be done if
we are finally to pierce the veil that blocks our understanding of the
world beyond. It is an important work because it takes a serious and
cautious approach to the subject, making the conclusions that much more
credible and compelling.
