Introduction

The Soul, or Spirit — all of us wonder, "What is the soul?" and long to believe
in its reality. No one appreciates the idea that we vanish — irrevocably — from the

face of the earth, once we have passed away. Yet we can find nothing to assuage our
hunger for knowledge of such things — not in the anecdotes of those who have
returned from clinical death; not in the ruminations of priests or theologians.

So what can we expect in the hereafter — eternal darkness, purgatory, hell or
"Logos?"

And, what exactly is — the SOUL?
Many people who have experienced head injuries or clinical death report seeing
and hearing souls of the deceased and viewing the channels through which they
depart. But -where do they go, where are "heaven" or "hell" if they exist and why
can't the rest of us see, hear or sense any of this?

Current medical wisdom tries to explain away real, objective phenomena as

merely the effect of oxygen deficit in the brain.
