Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil: What Humanity Can Learn from the Near Death Experience decouples spirituality from a religious context and perspective. It examines the intriguing accounts of people who have undergone a near-death experience (NDE) and what was revealed to them while outside their physical bodies. What those people vividly described went well beyond what can be found in religious scripture. The NDE accounts contain descriptions of Heaven and the higher spiritual realms, what interconnectedness/oneness means, the eternal nature and liberation of the soul consciousness, the gift of free will and its purpose, the nature of soul agreements, the universal laws of attraction, reincarnation, and cause and effect (karma), the nature of positive and negative energy, the significance of the death of our physical body as well as our spiritual rebirth and life review.
The study and collation of more than 500 NDE accounts, and the identification of common observations and insights drawn therefrom, culminated in the writing of this book. Going beyond the current NDE literature, which mainly examines the historical, religious, philosophical, scientific and medical aspects of this phenomenon, Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil concentrates on the important messages brought back from beyond the veil for humanity's knowledge and benefit. Some of the learnings, observations and insights from the Other Side presented in this book are truly remarkable, and in a few cases, they test the limits of human, Earthly comprehension.

This author is brilliant! I interviewed Professor Hodgson on the Just Ask Spirit Podcast and ended up asking him to come back on the show. His research is profound and he is very articulate. I am looking forward to reading some of his other books he has put out there. ~ Sherianna Boyle, Amazon review
In his beautiful tribute to life on the Other Side, Douglas Charles Hodgson highlights experiences from people who have had near death experiences (NDEs) in Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil: What Humanity Can Learn from the Near Death Experience. This book not only recaps these experiences, but also catalogs what he learned from over 500 interviews from the International Association for Near-Death Studies and its website. Hodgson’s book is written in a very conversational, clear style. The information is presented in a very open and objective way, and one that does not include any bias or religious connotations. I am impressed by the time and work that went into researching, cataloging, and writing this chronicle of NDEs. The organization of all of this material, from over 500 accounts of NDEs, is truly remarkable. He also includes a few sources for learning more about NDEs. What I like best about Hodgson’s book is the way that I can use this information for daily encouragement or journal prompts. For example, in the chapter called “Our Earthly Life Purpose and Meaning”, I saw these thought-provoking prompts that I want to use for daily affirmations: “Life is meant to be lived in abundance.” “Do not be concerned over what others may think of you. “ “There is meaning in everything.” Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil would be great for all interested in what happens after we pass on, including anyone who needs encouragement after a loss, someone at a crossroads or someone asking “why?” in a general context. In Hodgson’s own words: “For those who are grieving the loss of a loved one and for those who feel lost and confused about the meaning and purpose to their lives and what lies ahead of them, it is hoped that this book will provide comfort, peace, solace, assurance and direction.”11 My husband and I work with grieving people, giving mediumship readings, and providing resources for life after a loss. Hodgson’s book will provide us with even more information to share with our clients, family and friends.

Shining a diligent light, informatively culled knowledge and years of wisdom on that question and the topic itself, Hodgson helps us expand our minds and our preconceived thoughts and hopefully sets out to inspire a more meaningful way of living that actually goes beyond the physical and into the infinity of our very souls. In closing, some of the learnings, observations and insights from the Other Side presented in this book are truly remarkable. In a few cases, they test the limits of human, Earthly comprehension. ~ Exclusive Magazine, Review
To the heart of the matter. Thought provoking in its summarized research. The book should inspire most to look at their life from an alternative worldview. Full of hope and comfort. A must read which may spark you to look further into this subject. I bought the book after hearing the author on a podcast and wanted to know more. My thanks to Douglas. ~ MargoNZ, Rakuten kobo

This book is a great comfort companion for those living! Reading the experiencers' accounts seeds an expansion of one's mind and heart, inspiring a more meaningful way of living that goes beyond the physical and into the infinity of the soul. Set out in common themed categories with the author's commentary, the reader is assisted in enjoying the reflection and insight into the mysterious phenomena of Near-Death Experiences. ~ Joyce Bok, Psychologist and Vice President, Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research (AIPR)
As a practicing psychologist, I found Professor Hodgson's book an insightful and incisive "deep dive" into the nature of NDEs ("near-death experiences"). Leveraging from the NDE evidence base of IANDS, the author has collated and summarized magnificently the key elements of NDEs, amplifying further the phenomena of NDEs and the moral/ethical implications that NDEs hold for humanity. This book is a valuable addition to the reference shelf of both laypersons and investigators for their life-after-death research. ~ Dr Terry Olesen, Committee Member and Contributor Researcher, The Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research; Writer/Researcher at Reincarnation Research Limited, USA
At a time of increasing mainstream acceptance of the near-death and other extraordinary experiences, this book gifts poetic insight to many of the core themes that make such experiences so exceptional. Importantly, it does so through the direct voices of the experiencers. As many ancient wisdom paths teach, it is not the spiritual experience itself that matters most, but rather, what one does with the wisdom gained. The revelations you will find within may bring solace to those wondering if there really is "More" than the mundane world, and what (if anything) might happen beyond this physical life. But more significantly, when the insights within are truly integrated and lived in one's day to day life, we can immediately end much needless suffering on this planet and begin to truly embody more of our collective human potential. And THAT is most exciting! ~ Dr Nicole Gruel, PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, Life Coach to Experiencers of the Extraordinary, Lead Facilitator of IANDS Sharing Groups Online
I highly recommend this exhaustive and clear book which has the great quality of presenting the subject in an objective way by avoiding the bias of any specific religion; a fault that is sadly too often found in much of this literature. The format, based on presenting a large selection of well-chosen testimonials directly from the first-hand accounts of NDErs, further contributes to its impartiality and objectivity. The book's structure is suitable for a variety of readers, from the "novices" in the field to those who already have previous readings, or have had personal experiences and need to find external validation to accept their own. It will provide help and support to those who fear death, are terminally ill, or are suffering from the loss of a dear one. ~ Dr Renata Bartoli Philologist, NDEr, Hypnotherapist and Coordinator of the London, UK IANDS Peer Group
It can be a lonely path for many who experience NDE, bereavement or the fear of death. I found this book to be a great comfort in these cases, and a fascinating exploration of the journey of the soul. There is a great amount of documented NDE cases. What I like about this book is the way it covers, organizes and breaks down the common principles found in the hundreds of near-death experiences, leading the reader to a positive and empowering conclusion. I recommend this work by Professor Douglas Hodgson both for the knowledge it imparts and for the light it shines on the meaning of life. ~ Rachel Langford (MSc.
