This Week on TTL!

[TowardTheLight]

Greetings Everyone!

This Sunday, 16 December, on Toward The Light, we've got PMH Atwater and we'll be discussing her new book, The BIG Book of Near-Death Experiences!  The programme airs live at 2P PT/5P ET/10P GMT.

PMH Atwater, L.H.D., Ph.D. (Hon.) Born in Twin Falls, Idaho, Atwater married young and became a mother of three, Sunday school teacher, secretary, and prize winning cook. A handwriting analysis in the mid-sixties led to a complete career and life-style change. She was redirected into public service and innovative project development and analysis. Paralleling this change she began intensive research into paranormal and altered states of consciousness.

With a professional background in hypnotic past-life regressions, sensitivity work, dehaunting houses, and mediumship, she came to specialize in aura massage, astrology, numerology, dream and symbol interpretation, rune casting, divinatory and earth energy sensing.

1977 set the stage for severe health traumas resulting in death and the near-death phenomenon, three times in three months. The following year, in an effort to understand what had happened to her and was still happening, she began to seek out and interview other near-death survivors. Her initial findings about the after-effects of near-death were published in Vital Signs magazine, 1981-85, and later became "COMING BACK TO LIFE: THE AFTER-EFFECTS OF THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE" (hardcover 1988 Dodd Mead & Co., paperback 1989 Ballantine Books, softcover, Citadel Press). After over fifteen years of intensive research, speaking with or interviewing over 3,000 near-death survivors, her book "BEYOND THE LIGHT, WHAT ISN'T BElNG SAlD ABOUT THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERlENCE" (hard cover 1994 Birch Lane Press, paperback 1995 Avon Books) represents the most complete compendium yet done of the phenomenon, its after-effects and implications (Its sequel: "FUTURE MEMORY," Birch Lane Press 1996, paperback edition from Hampton Roads Publishing).

An international authority on near-death states, she has served two terms on the Board of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. Her book, "CHILDREN OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM," a major study of child experiencers of near-death states, came out August 1999 from Three Rivers Press. It was then enlarged and rewritten as THE NEW CHILDREN AND NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES (Inner Traditions/Bear & Co., 2003). With the help of David Morgan, she produced the world's first positive/negative, 360-degree compendium of the entire near-death phenomenon. Titled "THE COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE TO NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES," (available through Toward The Light!) this 480-page Macmillan edition débuted March/April, 2000. Atwater has received numerous awards during her life. Her biography is in sixteen Who's Who Books, half of them international editions.
