"A compelling case for finding inspiration in the mystery, and trusting intuition to guide you toward peace and connection." — Tara Swart, New York Times bestselling author of The Source and The Signs"This remarkable treatise was driven by the author’s sense of partial responsibility for the loss of his beloved brother in a tragic road accident, and the subsequent loss of the author’s father. Many have pursued the same path of discovery triggered by such personal losses, but Stéphane’s journey is especially illuminated by his diligence in examining deeply into near-death experiences through some of the world’s most renowned scientific investigators, unraveling the science around the brain-mind connection, reviewing remarkable cases of 'terminal lucidity,' extracting clues from the hospice community suggesting the reality of the soul, discussing after death communications, and extensive personal ayahuasca journeys with Amazonian shamans, in addition to several high dose LSD trips, bundled with extensive meditation. Ultimately, he emphasizes the power of meditation to enable souls to most effectively awaken and connect with departed loved ones. A most instructive journey!" — Eben Alexander, MD, former Harvard neurosurgeon and author of Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and Living in a Mindful Universe"Stéphane Allix is an investigating journalist and writer whose work I know for many years. His amazing Death Does Not Exist presents fifteen years of rigorous, impressive, and sincere investigative work on life after death, together with a moving spiritual exploration and sensitive and poetic writing. This fascinating book is presenting a large range of indications that consciousness goes beyond time and space, and that there is a continuity of consciousness after the death of our body. A highly recommended read for anyone who want to get a clear and exhaustive synthesis about what will happen when we die." — Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, NDE-researcher, and author of Consciousness Beyond Life
