Death, as the saying goes, is the great leveller, and though many fear it, while others view it as a blessed release, its inescapability affects us all in some way. The author of this unusual book makes use both of her spiritual reading and of the knowledge she gained from 20-plus years’ experience of taking her Deep Memory Process clients back to deaths in their previous lives, thus giving a broad spectrum of possible post-death scenarios. These she illustrates with a combination of famous and fictional characters, drawn both from accounts that came from the ‘other side’ through her figurative pen and from factual research. Part of the book’s aim is to dispel all fears of death itself and to demonstrate that the notion of eternal damnation is mistaken. At the same time, it shows the reader that whether a lifetime lasts 10 years (as did Annie Darwin’s) or 97 (like Bertrand Russell’s), it has a clear purpose and value. The stories’ precise truth is, however, immaterial, as you will find them enjoyable, educational, and reassuring.

In this instructive and illuminating book, the author explores many different life paths and journeys within the context of lessons learned and her deep understanding of the nature of death as the transition to another realm, as well as the context of multiple lives. The book is well-researched and highly readable, and readers have the opportunity to glean significant insights that can shed light on their own current journeys. ~ David Lorimer, Global Ambassador and Programme Director, The Scientific and Medical Network; Editor, Paradigm Explorer Chair, Galileo Commission
It is common to refer to the afterlife as the ‘great unknown’. Yet there have always been reports of these ‘death realms’, or bardos – those other realities beyond the physical – and now a growing number of discoverers and reporters confirm what the old texts have told. From near death experiences, mediums, soul voyages in past lives and shamanic work, there is a wealth of experience being brought back and shared that describe maps of spirit worlds, meetings with masters, guides and spirits and infinite possibilities. More than anything else, however, today’s explorers bring back stories and Ann Merivale, as her previous books attest, is a great gatherer and teller of these tales, having the ability to voyage through the portals of imagination into what is known as the Akashic Records, where the patterns of Karma reveal each soul’s adventures and entanglements, losses and learnings across many lifetimes. All her chapters show that death is not an enemy to be fought and avoided at all costs, but the natural portal of return to spirit, only seeming fearful when mind has been seduced into the illusion of matter as exclusive reality and has consequently forgotten the whole and greater nature of our self. Yes, there are ‘heavens’ and ‘hells’ of our own creation, as many environments as there are imaginations to create them, and the hell realm of one who has closed themselves to any care for others can seem a long torture, but light and beings of light are always close and no-one can stay apart from their beauty for ever. As Sofia Tolstoy says in her chapter, If…. you are already knowledgeable about spiritual matters…. you will appreciate both that death is only a temporary separation and that there is invariably good reason for it, whenever it occurs. . ~ Kris Misselbrook, Woolger Training
In Ann Merivale's book, 'DEATH: FRIEND or ENEMY? – Views from the Other Side', we need to suspend what we believe to be true and then look deeper. Therein lies the fable, the parable. Look deeper. Now you see the laws of heaven, the metaphysical. But don't stop there. Yes, there it is! That mystical moment where the depths within you are revealed as truth. Ann's book takes you on this journey, but it depends on how you open your eyes, and how willing you are to receive the gifts within the text that reveal the vastness of this wonderful work. ~ Stephen Paul Chong, educator,trainer, and author of 'The Afterlife, a journey to'
