Michael Grosso - Death, Rebirth, and the Nature of the Soul

For his March-May 2006 feature article, “Death, Rebirth, and Everything in Between,” EnlightenNext magazine's Carter Phipps interviewed a variety of leading researchers and theorists in the fields of parapsychology, near-death experiences, and reincarnation in a search for the truth about the soul and the afterlife.

In this interview, Dr. Michael Grosso, afterlife theorist, philosopher, and author of Experiencing the Next World Now, speaks about his criteria for the study of such paranormal phenomena as mediumship, apparitions, and the metaphysical origins of the soul.
