In so many of my meditations with the deceased
I got to know, to some extent,
what they were like when they were alive.
I got a feeling for their personality
from what they chose to talk with me about.
The things that were important to them after death
were key insights into their personality.
One of my goals for this book
is to express how the personality continues in the afterlife.
Death does not change that essence of us.
Our personality continues to evolve with the same attitudes,
the same feelings about things
that governed our choices in life.
The choices we make in the afterlife
resonate with the themes of our life.
