From the book "Gods About Us", Max Rempel
A human being possesses an immortal soul. The soul enters the human being while still in the mother's womb and animates the body throughout the whole of life. The soul does not die; rather, upon leaving the body, it continues to live a rich and meaningful life.
How do we know this? From a multitude of research publications on the subject. The question of the soul's life after the death of the body has been well studied by alternative researchers (chiefly British ones), and the materials devoted to it are not at all difficult to find.

Information from the otherworld reaches us by various paths, and comparing these accounts allows us to assess their reliability. Very convincing, for example, is the testimony of people who have undergone temporary (so-called "clinical") death, that is, who have visited the other side and returned. They recount extraordinarily interesting and unexpected details that, astonishingly, largely coincide in substance. Especially valuable are the impressions of those who, before their temporary death, were zealous skeptics and materialists.
Also highly informative is so-called hypnotic regression. Under hypnosis the person's conscious mind is put to sleep, and the researcher gains direct access to the unconscious (the soul). In the course of hypnosis the researcher can question the patient not only about this life, but about past lives and the intervals between them, that is, about life on the other side. Transcripts and generalizations of hypnotic regressions can be found in the books of Michael Newton.
The word "regression" in this context denotes movement backward in time: the hypnotherapist sends the client's consciousness first into childhood, then to the moment of birth, then to the period before birth, then into past lives. Thus, bit by bit, a wealth of priceless details is gathered about the life of souls after the final wearing-out of their "physical vehicles," which succeed one another across time and space.
Another source confirming the existence of the realm beyond the looking glass is messages from the dead. Sometimes they come in the form of telephone calls. Yes, indeed! The longest recorded telephone conversation with a dead person lasted almost half an hour. (See:
Noory, George, and Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Talking to the Dead. 2011.
Schwartz, Gary E., William Simon, and Deepak Chopra. The Afterlife Experiments: Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death. 2003.)
Sometimes the dead visit their relatives in visible form, but more often their messages come in the form of a voice. Of enormous interest are cases in which the deceased conveys information previously unknown to them that can be verified. Also valuable are cases in which two or more witnesses were present at a visitation from the other side.
The fourth channel of communication is the clairvoyants, that is, people able to perceive information from the otherworld and to relay it to us. To date, the activity of such clairvoyants as Vanga and Edgar Cayce has been the most thoroughly studied.

And finally, one more connecting thread is the so-called channelers, also called in Russian conductors and contactees. The Strugatsky brothers, in "Snail on the Slope," called them eavesdroppers.
Strugatsky, Arkady and Boris. Snail on the Slope. 1966.
Conductors possess the ability to "tune in" to a channel of communication from other dimensions and serve as intermediaries in the dialogue between researchers and souls, angels, and other inhabitants of the higher spheres.
