Where is Heaven?

The author of this book is a Russian Quaker who is also a Swedenborgian scholar interested in mysticism and the scientific work of Constantine Korotkov who has done some Kirlian photography with recently deceased people. The book begins with some comparative definitions of heaven, moving on to a discussion of the terms universe, life and self. The author asks what actually survives bodily death in terms of soul, mind, aura or spiritual body, drawing on the work of a number of scholars will be known to readers such as Chris Clarke, Max Velmans, David Chalmers and John Polkinghorne. He concludes that what we call mental in the physical world becomes environmental beyond death, in other words that we continue to exist in a mind-dependent or imaginal world, which is hinted at it through the sciences of quantum theory, information theory and the study of complexity. A stimulating and unusual discussion.
