Sarah Bullen on The Other Side: Mysticism, Magic, and Near-Death Experiences

Loading player...
This week, join Pnina Fenster as she delves into the mysteries of the afterlife with author Sarah Bullen, discussing her captivating book, "The Other Side: Journeys into Mysticism, Magic and Near Death." Dive into the realms of spirituality and discover how some individuals connect with worlds beyond our own, seeking answers to life's most profound questions.

More about the book:
What happens when we die? How are some people able to see or communicate with spiritual worlds beyond our own? Can they offer answers to some of our most burning questions about life and death?

Sarah Bullen, who has had a life-altering near-death experience herself, explores these mysteries as she gathers riveting stories of people from South Africa and beyond – people who have crossed to the ‘other side’ or those who can contact it. This book offers original interviews with a fascinating collection of teachers with special abilities, individuals who have gone through near-death experiences and those who can communicate across worlds using mediumship, gifts, trance and plants.

Meet and learn from a man who woke up on a stretcher on the way to the morgue, a spiritual teacher who survived two near-death experiences on an operating table, a psychic rabbi, an influencer who communicates with the departed, a former corporate executive turned-sangoma who runs a traditional clinic, and shamans and neo shamans from across the continent. With her keen observation skills and insights gleaned from her own experience, Bullen offers a fresh way of looking at the world.
