Nanci Danison's "Backwards" series on the afterlife: I read her first book on Kindle
Author: Nanci Danison
Title: “Backwards: Running to our Source for Answers”
Publication: 2007, AP Lee, 314 pages, hardcover and Kindle
(free), ISBN 1934482005
This is the first of a series of several books in a series
about the afterlife. The most recent
appears to be “Answers from the Afterlife”. I will probably order that book later and review
it in more detail on Wordpress.
Danison says she experienced an NDE while having a breast
examination, from a sudden drop in blood pressure or an allergic reaction. She describes the experience in the last
section of the book.
Danison describes “God” (so to speak) as “Source” which
divides itself infinitely into “Light Beings”.
Somehow a Light Being maps to a soul, which seems to be the granularity
of individual identity. The soul then maps to a physical person at conception
in the womb. It is possible to theorize that the microtubules in the brain
cells are connected to the soul.
Her idea of higher connectedness to others does not seem to
depend on blood lineage. But some religions (like LDS) do maintain that.
Furthermore, other animals (ranging from social insects to possibly dolphins)
seem to exhibit distributed consciousness which would seem to require genetic
allele transfer of information. But if a soul can find a prospective infant to join in the womb very shortly after conception, there is a moral argument not only against abortion but even deliberate childlessness.
She does describe going through a “Core” or black void before
coming to Light (like Eben Alexander).
But the afterlife is not a “place” in some geography. It’s not like the First Dominion in Clive
Barker’s “Imajica”.
