This first of a series of books on the Bardo teachings is the outcome of the tireless and tedious labor of Dharma Maji Ra Afrika. Her verbatim transcription of a series of talks given by Bhagwan Ra Afrika in August of 1996 is a gift of “wisdom” she has given to all those who are in search of answers to the problem of death, dying and the afterlife. May she always have happiness and its causes. May her seva (service to humanity) help all sentient beings attain enlightenment and find that peace which is beyond death.
