In the 21st century, with the advent of the internet, we now have access to thousands of accounts of near-death experiences across many cultures, from Plato's time more than 2,300 years ago to the present day.
In the near-death or clinically dead state, many report a euphoria of love that continues throughout their lives-their fear of death diminished or eliminated-their lives enriched forever.
Joe Geraci was a young man in his thirties, a former police officer and educator, when a hemorrhage came close to ending his physical life. What followed was physical agony and pain coupled with the bliss and joy of the eternal state.
In
Eternity Revisited
, the author captures the events leading up to his clinical death and the trauma, confusion and frustration that followed. Post-NDE, he recounts a life feeling immersed in love and perfection while living in an imperfect world-a dichotomy-a foot in two worlds. He expresses his feelings and wisdom through poetry, which NDE researcher, Kenneth Ring called, "Poems of exile, born when Joe died."
It's a memoir of tragedy, pain, wisdom, and hope.
