You, Again: An Atlas of the Afterlife
A Clear Map of the Afterlife Across Cultures
You, Again explores how humans across history have understood what happens after death. Rather than offering doctrine or speculation, it presents a grounded survey of the major philosophical, religious, and psychological models that have shaped the world's thinking on rebirth, memory, and the continuity of consciousness. Drawing on traditions from Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Jainism to Kabbalah, Islam, ancient Greece, and African and Celtic cosmologies, the book reveals how remarkably consistent the great cultures have been in their attempts to describe the journey beyond this life.
A Comparative Atlas of Afterlife Cosmologies
The heart of the book is a clear, accessible atlas of afterlife models-cyclical, linear, and ancestral-each explained in modern, practical language. These systems are presented without requiring belief, allowing readers to see the universal patterns that reappear across time, geography, and tradition.
Philosophy, Psychology, and the Nature of Mind
You, Again connects these ancient frameworks to modern insights about the mind, offering reflections on awareness, identity, uncertainty, and the ways our inner states shape our experience. The final section introduces the twelve unwholesome cittas from early Buddhist psychology, providing a simple way to recognise unhelpful mental patterns in daily life.
A Calm and Steady Companion
This book is written for readers who are curious about the afterlife, drawn to philosophical clarity, or seeking a wider context for their own experiences. It does not instruct or persuade. Instead, it offers a clear landscape-an invitation to look, consider, and understand the larger story that humanity has always told about life, death, and the return of consciousness.
