Welcome to After World.info

Our Web site name says it all—here is a place to find information about death—the world that follows what we call “life.” For some, the interest is simply in ghost hunting. For others, there is a fascination with a more profound cosmic plan for each individual’s future state. Initially, author, publisher, and ghost researcher David J. Pitkin offers information compiled from over 1,100 interviews with individuals who apparently encountered ghosts, apparitions and poltergeists. He has written and published four haunted house books, mainly from the northeast part of the U.S. and Canada. This Web site will grow to include many more aspects of the illusion called “death,” specifically the near-death experience.

This ghost researching site addresses the journey into death that all people must one day take—a venture into whatever comes after our physical life is concluded, and why some individuals remain as ghosts. Death and hauntings, as well as apparitions, are the subject matter here, but not in a dreary or fearful presentation. David J. Pitkin, ghost hunter, has written books detailing his investigations into that state of being following body death. A prime purpose for this ghost and death web site is to allow seekers the opportunity to gain information (not rumor or fantasy aimed at pumping your adrenaline), and perhaps a bit of humor, involving the semi-conscious energy residue of each now-completed earth life. There is much hope expressed in these ghost tales, for it seems certain that the most vital part of our being does survive the end of our body’s functioning. So, death is not only not an end, it cannot be.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

As historian, investigator, and ghost researcher, once I establish that a ghost phenomenon is taking place, then we begin the attempt to identify the individual whose personality remains even though the body has died. My books all involve our eternal essence surviving death. Later, if we can suppose the ghost’s identity, we (a group of talented investigators and myself) attempt to discern the cause of the dead person’s distress—why do they hang on at the physical level? Ghosts—why can’t they leave and progress into the afterlife? Then, often, we try to send the being on its way, an action which we believe should be done.

Born into physical bodies, not randomly, but for a cosmic purpose, our essence or soul seeks both experience and individual expression in the material world. Through the use of our physical energies we can learn lessons—some of them joyous and positive, and others painful and trying; all culminate in physical death…and “conclude the present course of learning.” Such appears to be The Creator’s purpose in giving us earth life, to allow us to learn more about our true identity. Our soul’s purpose has always been to achieve (more precisely to regain) the one-ness that all energy and all consciousness we once had with The One. That seems to be our target and purpose in life, then, oneness, an undivided unity with all energy, all knowledge and all Life.

By reading, discussion, and experimentation, we can begin to see that the appearance of things (e.g. death) can mislead us regarding the true purpose or meaning of life. The eastern religions use the term maya (illusion) to describe the scenarios through which we weave our way in earthly existences. What appears to be true is only a small part of the picture. We live in a society where appearance is thought to be truth, so you must be willing to overcome [maya] appearances, recognizing them as essentially illusory, and learn higher truths if you wish to penetrate the meaning of both life and death.


It is therefore the purpose of this near-death experience and survival of death website to help you seek your way through the suppositions about death and ghosts, and “what everyone knows,” as well as “it is obvious…,” to find a deeper meaning for your life. Pursuit of truth is always the better path. One cannot gain ground by merely entertaining him or herself on falsehoods or scary tales.

Just as the end of the school term is not an ending to your education, there are other cosmic “grades” yet to enter. For this purpose, the death of one personality (or lifetime, which most people feel is all that they are) is actually a gift, as we are then released from a too-narrow focus of our identity. New “grades” represent new lifetimes, with new sets of “givens,” both strengths and weaknesses taken on in order to best learn more sophisticated lessons. So, on another page, we will stimulate you to ponder the concept of reincarnation, which is surely more than a theory.

Ghostliness is a final stage of earth lives that all people (99/9% of us) who have become attached to materiality must experience. It is a necessary state of withdrawal of the eternal self from the temporary self (which most people think is the entirety of their existence), so that post-life review and learning can take place. Ghost transition time provides for a severing of what was formerly our very limited view of reality. In that process, there is a "final judgment" wherein the spirit or soul reviews its past activities on the material plane, achieving perspective on deeds done and undone. This is necessary for each being-to permit forward movement in the quest that all humans face: to recover memory of our true identity as part of that called The Creator.

Developing the capacity to imagine and create is an essential element of earth/body life. What we do with material urges and possessions, as well as with our nascent divine powers, helps determine where and how we shall return to the earth plane (future incarnations) after necessary schooling. Recognition of our essentially-spiritual nature is the main purpose for physical life-actually doing deeds that demonstrate our deepest and profound beliefs.

Life exists in many forms and places in the universe, but material life on earth seems to be a primary education in what some term "godlike powers." We can't say we really believe something unless we can live it or do it. So "lifetimes" are necessary for us to activate the cosmic knowledge of One-ness, which I believe all beings once had. We are citizens of a Much Greater Whole, but have to learn that lesson by the way in which we use or don't use our particular talents. This cannot be achieved on the level of thought or imagination alone.
