The first edition of "Transition" was published abroad. The book was received with interest and evoked many responses in both the spiritual and secular press. There were many private letters and questions to the author.

The current edition comes out with very few, insignificant changes in the text. In the first edition, I expressed my gratitude to those medical scientists who allowed me to describe their clinical cases of temporary death. Now I have collected enough such cases. I hardly mention them in this edition because in my observations the perceptions are basically similar to the previous ones, and there is no point in increasing the number of unambiguous descriptions.

Russia is now entering a bright period in its history. There is a growing interest in the spiritual side of life, and I hope that the book will be able to help its readers in some way.

In conclusion, a little advice to my future readers: do not read too much at once. One chapter, well, two. Perhaps it is best to read in the evening, before going to bed, so as not to immediately obscure what you have read with the usual thoughts of the day.

There is no death

There is no death.

After the death of the body

The personality continues to live.

From the author

Death is not at all what we most often imagine it to be. When we die, we all have to see and experience many things that we do not expect and do not think about. By knowing a little more, we will have less fear and less suffering.
