Rike compiled a random sample of reports by persons who had an afterlife experience and lived to tell about it. They gave remarkably similar details about their entirely separate experiences. The numbers of persons independently reporting each detail are so large, in the hundreds and thousands, we can assume their details to be reliable. A larger picture emerged: consciousness continues, persons inhabit the afterlife, and we acquire amazing powers of vision, great knowledge and mind-to-mind communication. More than a thousand said the afterlife is our home, it is where we come from. Then there are the guides. And more.
