If you have a passion for philosophy, especially if you’re interested by the possibility of conscious
life after death, then this book is for you. Lazarus Revived argues that what consciousness
amounts to is a whole series of artificial boundaries, or what philosophers call theory ladenness.
Ironically, it’s only when these boundaries or restrictions are established that we are fully
conscious. Even within these restricted boundaries of our thought, what amounts to
consciousness in one person is quite different for another.
The author shows how two thought experiments provide the foundation for arguments for the
existence of conscious life after death: strictly on the basis of these restrictions and from an
atheist point of view. In the absence of these restrictions, say in outer space where there is no
up or down or before or after, we have to artificialise experience in order to develop a sense of
time and, ultimately, of consciousness.
Lazarus Revived introduces a whole new vision of physics – one that involves pluriverses rather
than what we call the universe. The theory of a Big Bang is examined, and a substitute equation
for E=mc2 is presented, giving the entire relation of mathematics to physics a new twist.
Lazarus Revived is written in easy-to-understand language, and there is no mathematics to worry
about. The reader is challenged to go further than the author’s own philosophical speculations
and to come up with new ideas and ways to refine what is presented in the book. Many
accessible examples are given and, hopefully, the reader will be drawn into the whole process of
thinking and talking about the ideas presented here.
