Vincent Roppolo and Robert Cornett will discuss esoteric views on the journey of the soul before and after death based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, Alice Bailey, and research on near death experiences. They will explore what happens with the soul at the moment of death, what it experiences and where it travels in the post mortem realms. Their presentation will be followed by a brief meditation.

After the talk Vincent and Robert will join their theater ensemble in a live performance of “Crossing the Veil and Coming Back to Life.” This play is based on true stories of people who have been declared clinically dead or who have experienced a medical crisis that brought them to the edge of death—yet have had profound spiritual experiences and visions of life in post-mortem realms. Their journeys conclude with a return to physical life and to the challenges of sharing their experiences and integrating them into their lives. This performance expands on last year’s rave-reviewed offering at ASNYC, adding new stories and cast members, and featuring deeply moving accounts of death-bed visions by a hospice nurse.
