Acknowledgments
Whenever I am asked about the writing of “my” book, I repeatedly state that this is not “my” book but “our” book. This book belongs to all of those individuals who helped me in some way. They are not only the many contributors who are listed on the dedication page but are also the kindhearted individuals who helped to promote it or gave me their love and encouragement.
I would like to begin by making special mention of Juliet Nightingale. At the very beginning of my research, I came across her Web site (www.towardthelight.org) and contacted her. Juliet had multiple near-death experiences and was the host of a radio show called Toward the Light. For reasons that I cannot explain, I knew that I was meant to contact her.

Juliet gave two accounts to this book and put me in touch with many of the contributors; she even advertised my call for submissions on her Web site. I appeared as a guest on her popular Internet radio show, and whenever I began to get discouraged, she was always there with her love and support.
Sadly, Juliet was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on February 28, 2009. I will never forget the last conversation I had with her on this physical plane. I told her I was not ready to let her go yet. To this she immediately assured me with her sweet, calming voice, “Josie, it's OK. I will be there to help you from the Other Side.” I can feel her presence as I write these words now. I know she is here with me, and I also know she played a big part in getting this book published. Thank you, Juliet. You will forever be in my heart.
As I continued to delve into my spiritual quest, I came to the Web site of John W. Sloat (www.beyondreligion.com). John, a former Presbyterian clergyman, retired following forty years in the ministry after having a spiritual experience in which he recalled a past death. His Web site includes various mystical accounts submitted by people around the world. John graciously allowed
