But the main reason was that I found it comforting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much to Ponder On *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 15, 2014* “Most of us are addicted to earth’s immediate pleasures and unaware of our hidden depths and destiny,” author Stafford Betty begins this very interesting, informative, intriguing, and inspiring 190-page book. “We get a little help from our religious leaders, but we need much more.”This information set forth in this book does much to fill the void between what religion offers and what we need. Dr. Betty, a professor of religious studies at California State University, Bakersfield, is quick to admit that he is not a mystic, medium, or saint, and that he doesn’t have everything figured out relative to the afterlife. “I’m an aspiring seeker and a pretty good researcher,” he states in the Introduction. “And I can tell you this with some assurance: We are all about to enter a fascinating world. And the more we know about it, the less scary death will be – at least if we are basically decent people.”Betty is something of a maverick when it comes to academics, even those teaching religion. Unlike so many other academics, he doesn’t beat around the bush on topics that others find too risky, too unconventional, or too “unscientific” to discuss or even consider. He has done extensive research in such subjects as mediumship, past-life studies, near-death experiences, and death-bed visions, separating the wheat from the chaff in his efforts to reconcile these phenomena with religious doctrine and with accepted scientific truths. With the help of reputable spirit sources, he shows us a reality that makes far more sense than that offered to us by either orthodox religion or mainstream science.Betty begins with the dying process, as reported through some very credible mediums. “What is perhaps most interesting in these accounts is the reuniting with loved ones and the absence of a judging God,” Betty offers, adding that our two largest religions give no hint of such a passing. He goes on to point out that the process of dying is so natural that many souls do not immediately realize they have died and that the newly “dead” retain their personalities and habits in the initial stages. “Nothing miraculous happens to them when they pass,” he continues, explaining that the astral body is not a “resurrected” body, but that it was always present as the soul’s “inner envelope.”I found the chapter entitled “The Divine Source” especially interesting. The comment by the discarnate John Thomas to his son Drayton Thomas through the mediumship of Gladys Osborne Leonard, one of the most credible mediums in the annals of psychical research, is well worth pondering on. When the father told the son that he had never seen God, the son asked his father if we will ever be able to see God. “I do not think that, as you develop and progress, you will wish to see Him,” the father responded. “You will not wish to limit him in that way...you would have brought Him down, made Him into a Being only one-millionth part of that which He is.”Another very thought-provoking comment came from the discarnate Frederic Myers, when he communicated that “God does not love. For love is a human virtue that is like a flame that leaps up and down.” Myers went on to say that “if God possessed love, as man understands it, the history of the world would have been changed rather for evil than for good. God is greater than love. That is the phrase you should utter.”While the world’s major religions all tell us that we will be judged after death, the testimony collected by Betty indicates they are wrong in the details. “Nowhere is there mention of a God sitting on a throne with scepter in hand,” he writes. “Nowhere does it seem that some external being of any kind does the judging.” Rather, we our judged by our own spirit selves.Other topics include karma, suicide, prayer, progress through the stages, love & service, messiahs, worship, the dark side, and reincarnation to name just some. Besides Mrs. Leonard, Professor Betty calls upon a number of other tested and credible mediums, including Geraldine Cummins, Betty White, Maurice Barbanell, Stainton Moses, Cora Richmond, Elsa Barker, Helen Greaves, Jane Roberts, William Stead, Emanuel Swedenborg, and Robert Lees.As Betty explains in his concluding remarks, he lost his faith during his mid-twenties and despaired at the thought of a world without meaning followed by extinction. However, he overcame his despair when he discovered the riches of spirit literature. He found “a joyous, compassionate, loving, powerful, boundless, light-filled Reality at the hub of the universe with an outreach that extended to the epicenter of my soul, a Being that would resonate with a Buddhist as well as a Christian. A God roomy enough even for an atheist.”Betty is determined to help others find this same Reality – one that gives meaning to life and to eternity. His book has much to offer the serious seeker or truth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We all see the world through our eyes only............... *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2015* I have rated this book a full 5 stars, but not necessarily for its accurate content. Its rating was given as a symbol of encouragement to those readers who have repeated their religious dogma incessantly without ever questioning its validity or why it was created in the first place. It may be time that you set aside these teachings and explore alternative reasonings for the world you see around you and the eternity that is yet to come. Myths, whether they are told today or 2000-4000 years ago are nothing more than that; Myths. They may be created as a primitive means of explaining the confusing world around themselves, may be used as a means of propaganda in order that a certain culture will see themselves as ‘exceptional’ or ‘favored’, or, lastly, simply used as a method by which to control the social masses such that they conform to a certain set of rules, morals and behavior.I have taken the same journey that this author has taken; I have spent nearly three decades researching, studying and experimenting with what some people call ‘our spiritual side’. While he and I agree on most of the basic concepts attained through mediumship, the details, however, are quite different. I will not defend my alternate view nor will I degrade the author’s findings for, in fact, we both may be correct or we may both be incorrect. Neither of us has experienced what truly is beyond the veil, if anything, and only have 3rd and 4th hand reports from which to develop our conclusions. The author has a tendency to have the deceased seek a higher level of atonement than I have deduced, sees a greater array of order and corporate structure present than I do, and, most importantly places a high value on some of the reports that I have discounted as questionable. He has done the same to my studies.So what is the world beyond the veil like? None of us will truly know for all of our readings and research must be first filtered through our own consciousness and, being so, becomes quickly laced with our own subjective thoughts and emotions. In other words, we interpret the writings in the manner that is best suited to our own perspective whether or not this matches actual reality or not. I, during a hospital stay, had a partial Near Death Experience which differed from other people’s reports of such because it was my consciousness that recorded it and it was strewn with all my own personal and subjective nuances. I congratulate the author for having the courage to write this summary book of mediumship. He must feel assured that what he is saying is fully accurate and objective or else such publication would not have taken place. I can only warn him and all others that simply because we read, see, feel and make a series of conclusions about a given matter does not necessarily mean that our conclusions are fully accurate. We can only conclude that they are accurate for ourselves, and ourselves alone............... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4631357-heaven-and-hell-unveiled-updates-from-the-world-of-spirit](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4631357-heaven-and-hell-unveiled-updates-from-the-world-of-spirit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
