Jouni Marjanen & Antti Savinainen & Jouko Sorvali : From Death to Rebirth

Through the ages there have been stories about people who have visited the abode of the death. These people, seers, and sages of different cultures, have reported what they have seen there. One of them was a Finnish spiritual teacher Pekka Ervast (1875-1934).

This book contains Ervast's teachings on the afterlife: He tells of the phases and states people will undergo after they pass through the door of death.

Ervast had a profound spiritual awakening at the age of twenty. He then became a pioneer of the Finnish theosophical movement. A brief outline of his life is available at https://theosophy.wiki/en/Pekka_Ervast.

Ervast wrote and lectured regularly for over 30 years on the multitude of spiritual topics. Some of his books have been published in English: e.g., The Sermon on the Mount, or the Key to Christianity; "H. P. B.": Four Episodes from the Life of the Sphinx of the Nineteenth Century; The Key to the Kalevala; The Divine Seed: The Esoteric Teachings of Jesus.
