A Visual Revolution: How AI Art Finally Shows Us the Afterlife

Elysium Unveiled: A Visual Odyssey of Life Eternal by Jurgen Ziewe

Back in April, a reference to Jurgen Ziewe’s Elysium Unveiled caught my attention. A quick search led me to a video showcasing a few pages, which I promptly reviewed on my “Soulful Videos” blog (see: Pictures from heaven for a quick peek at the book). Inspired, I ordered the book that very day. While awaiting its arrival—a three-month journey involving three different suppliers—I delved into Ziewe’s other works: Vistas of Infinity, Multidimensional Man, and The Ten Minute Moment. Now, in July, I am thrilled to finally immerse myself in this truly groundbreaking book.

Dying to Live: A Skeptic’s Case Against NDEs — and Why I’m Still Not Convinced

Susan Blackmore’s Dying to Live argues that NDEs are hallucinations, not glimpses of an afterlife. Reading it helped me test my beliefs against a thorough skeptic’s case. While I appreciate her analysis, I still find the evidence for NDEs compelling — and believe we should stay open to what we don’t yet understand.

Susan Blackmore, a psychologist and former parapsychologist, explores near-death experiences (NDEs) through the lens of neuroscience, psychology, and biology rather than the supernatural. She argues that NDEs—commonly described as tunnels, bright lights, out-of-body experiences, and life reviews—are hallucinations produced by a distressed brain, not glimpses of an afterlife.

Reading Dying to Live was a valuable exercise. It helped me examine the skeptics’ point of view and test my own assumptions. Was I just blindly following the typical NDE narrative? Could the opposing perspective be more logical? In the end, I concluded that my beliefs still held up — but it was good to put them under scrutiny.
