Synopsis

Much evidence strongly indicates that bodily death is not the end of your life, but rather an entry point into the next phase of life. This evidence, combined with a highly probable emergence of spirit communication technology as early as 2018, will very likely create a major shift in the human experience.

Our goal is to provide an evidence-based integrative foundation for expanding your awareness of the greater reality, the vast portion of life that cannot be perceived by your five senses. We hope to prepare you and as many people as possible to realize that life continues after physical death. From that perspective, you can best choose how to live, treat others and yourself, and enjoy greater reality living.

The greater reality is all that actually exists. The vast majority of it cannot be perceived by your five senses, but is nonetheless very real. Because so much of reality escapes the senses, you likely have viewed life on earth as though through a tiny pinhole and then wondered why things don't make sense.

Our perspectives are based on contemporary knowledge and understandings from scientific, clinical, and empirical evidence. A greater reality perspective indicates, with varying degrees of certainty, that you:a. continue living after physical death.b. do not really lose loved ones after their bodies end; you can reunite with them when you change worlds.c. can enjoy a continuing, although different, relationship with ‘departed’ loved ones. d. encounter not just one but many life experiences.e. are one with the One and an integral part of Sourcef. receive assistance and guidance from sources described as angels, guides, master teachers, higher energies, and the Light.g. create how heavenly or hellish your life feels, whether on earth or elsewhere, by your predominant thoughts, words and deeds.h. are interconnected with other people, animals, nature, and all of life.i. have special purposes for experiencing being on this planet now.

None of the above is apparent when you rely on just your five senses per se. All of the above can assist having a more joyful, peaceful, and meaningful human experience.

What is greater reality living? This term describes how you might choose to live as you expand your awareness of reality. How would you live and treat others if you deeply knew that, for the list above, statements (a – c) have a very high degree of certainty for being true, and the others are quite probably true?

Five keys to greater reality living – Learn, Internalize, Vitalize, Enjoy, Serve – can be remembered by the acronym LIVES: 1. Learn the evidence that your life continues after physical death. 2. Internalize the comforting and inspiring news that death is not an end.3. Vitalize and balance yourself holistically.4. Enjoy the many benefits of greater reality living. 5. Serve others to help them – and yourself - and make the world a better place.

We offer insights, resources and hope for those who are searching and suffering, particularly if you are:- grieving loved ones after their bodily death- fearing the end of your body.- struggling with the suicide of a loved one. - experiencing your physical body dying.- suffering with difficulties such as failed relationships, physical or mental illness, broken dreams, financial loss, lack of purpose, or addicted family / friends. - thinking of suicide.- mourning the bodily death of a beloved pet.- wrestling with religious teachings that don’t make sense to you now.- searching for sensible answers to your biggest questions / challenges. - desiring to enjoy the greatest life you have envisioned. - wanting to transform yourself and our planet for the better.

Our understandings and the strategies described in this book, when applied consistently over time, can greatly assist these and other challenges.

Review:

"The fear of total annihilation with physical death, has probably caused more suffering in human history than all the physical diseases combined. In Greater Reality Living, authors Dr. Mark Pitstick and Dr. Gary Schwartz provide a potential 'cure' for this malady: evidence for the survival of consciousness following death and methods of contacting those who have died. There is another compelling reason why their proposals are crucial. We are witnessing a global epidemic of greed, selfishness, and destruction of our planet because of the 'get it while you can' philosophy that is based on the assumption that this earthly life is the only life there is. Our survival as a species may depend on whether this suicidal trend can be halted and reversed. The concepts in this book are vital to this task.” - Larry Dossey M.D., author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters

"In Greater Reality Living, Drs. Mark Pitstick and Gary Schwartz summarize the overwhelming evidence for the reality of the afterlife. Theirs is a work of compassion and wisdom that all will find most useful. They also provide a host of practical recommendations to help this world move to an unprecedented level of harmony and fulfillment here and now. This can occur through the progressive awakening of souls to the extraordinary truth that life is eternal.” - Eben Alexander M.D., neurosurgeon and author of Living in a Mindful Universe and Proof of Heaven

“This book by Dr. Mark Pitstick and Dr. Gary Schwartz brings together an enormous quantity of information that seems to relate to a realm of conscious existence beyond death. I like their “how-to” approach to integrating ideas about the afterlife with the practical realities of this life.” - Raymond A. Moody, Jr. M.D., Ph.D., author of Life After Life

"Greater Reality Living is THE book most relevant to our greater life – the real and true life. Learning how to integrate this knowledge into everyday living may be the greatest achievement in the here-and-now segment of our real and true life. This integration is more than useful, it is necessary for the sake of everyone. Deepest appreciation to Mark and Gary for showing the way! - Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything.

“Gary Schwartz and Mark Pitstick are two of the leading thinkers who have provided abundant proof that death is not a dead end and that in fact we are eternal beings. In this seminal book, they present the evidence to support their claims and, more than that, offer many suggestions and resources for how to live in the light of such knowledge. Greater Reality Living is indeed a much-needed treasury of spiritual wisdom for our time.” - Kenneth Ring Ph.D., author of Lessons from the Light

"Greater Reality Living is an extremely comprehensive examination of the evidence for life after death. It fact, it reveals that death is only a transition from one level of reality (life on Earth) to another far larger and greater level of reality (life in the spirit world.) In addition, this profound book discusses some of the many implications of eternal life and how we can live more fully and richly now for the benefit of others and ourselves. This is one book you will definitely want to read and reread many times!” - Bill Guggenheim, co-author of Hello from Heaven!

“Having a NDE as a 4-year old and a past life experience clarified for me why I was living this life. This book is about the truth; the sooner we accept and learn from it, the better off we will be. Bodies die, consciousness does not. We are not our bodies.” - Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of The Art of Healing and A Book of Miracles

“This book is a must for all who are interested in science and spirituality as well as personal health and optimal development. It addresses very deep questions related to life and death, brain and consciousness, and particularly after-death existence. Dr. Schwartz is a reputable professor who presents evidence-based information that may be used by other scientists as guidance to the emerging science of consciousness. Dr. Pitstick contributes practical advice ranging from personal development to the real food way of eating. I was unable to stop reading this book and plan to read it again in a more thoughtful way.” – Konstantin Korotkov Ph.D., author of two-hundred scientific papers and 11 books

“I was killed in a motorcycle wreck in 1970 but later came back to life. Half a century ago, our best science was unable to comprehend what happened to me, yet I no longer feared death. Today, medical science realizes that near-death experiences are real. Overwhelming evidence replicated in several scientific fields has also proven conclusively that individual consciousness survives physical death. My esteemed colleagues Dr. Mark Pitstick and Dr. Gary Schwartz have wonderfully presented these important discoveries in Greater Reality Living. This book will allow you to overcome the fear of death and be secure in the knowledge that your consciousness is eternal.” - Alan Ross Hugenot Engr. Sc.D., author of The New Science of Consciousness Survival

This book offers resources galore for individuals wishing to incorporate scientific findings concerning life after death into their own daily living experience. I especially appreciated the section defining terms that are often misused or misunderstood in our culture, followed by those that are considered more appropriate and accurate. I also enjoyed a glimpse into the work in progress on what could become an important new approach to spirit communication - the “SoulPhone.” - Jeffrey Mishlove Ph.D., host and producer, New Thinking Allowed
