Whitley Strieber

    13 juni 1945

    Deze Amerikaanse auteur staat bekend om zijn romans die zich vaak verdiepen in mysterieuze en bovennatuurlijke verschijnselen, evenals om zijn non-fictiewerken die persoonlijke ontmoetingen met het ongewone beschrijven. Zijn schrijven verkent vaak de grenzen van menselijk begrip en onderzoekt onontgonnen gebieden zoals buitenaards contact en het hiernamaals. Strieber probeert verborgen waarheden over deze fenomenen te ontsluiten en biedt lezers boeiende verkenningen van de raadselachtige aspecten van het bestaan. Zijn verhaalstijl combineert doorgaans spanning met diepgaand filosofisch onderzoek, waardoor lezers worden aangezet de aard van de werkelijkheid in twijfel te trekken.

      After Anne Strieber's death in August 2015, she ingeniously returned to her husband, Whitley, initiating a profound exchange of love that became The Afterlife Revolution. Whitley's grief transformed into a warm, satisfying love, facilitated by Anne's expertise in afterlife studies following her near-death experience in 2004. Remarkably, she began communicating with him just an hour and a half after her passing. This compelling narrative, endorsed by renowned afterlife researcher Dr. Gary Schwartz, presents one of the most convincing accounts of afterlife communication, affirming that love can bridge the physical and nonphysical realms. Anne shares her experiences on the other side, emphasizing that "we are light, alive," and that true enlightenment emerges from love. Her articulate descriptions of the afterlife resonate deeply, offering a unique perspective. The book provides practical tools, including "objective love" and a special meditation technique, to foster connections between the living and the deceased. Anne asserts that humanity is divided not by gender but by the living and the so-called dead, a division that is neither natural nor necessary. The Afterlife Revolution celebrates the joy of bridging this gap, inviting readers to embrace a transformative human experience as we learn to coexist with those who have passed on.

      "In 2018, the US Navy admitted that videos taken off the carrier Nimitz by pilots using ultra-sophisticated cameras were of unknown objects with incredible flight characteristics. Add to this the past seventy years of UFO evidence, and it is now undeniable that something unknown is flying around in our skies. But why are they here? There are millions of close encounter witnesses who would say that they are here for us, and have already been in contact with us for two generations, while the official world and the media have been in denial. In 1987, author Whitley Strieber published Communion about his own close encounter. It was met with brutal skepticism...but not from other close encounter witnesses, who wrote him in the hundreds of thousands, telling of their own experiences. With these overwhelming accounts of alien encounters, Rice University in Houston, Texas, has archived these letters as a testimony that we are not alone. After thirty-three years of having them in his life, and an entirely new group of encounters starting in 2015, Whitley Strieber returns with a new vision of contact that will shatter all of our previous theories and beliefs and reveal the experience for what it is: the strangest, most powerful, and potentially most important thing that has ever happened to mankind"-- Provided by publisher
