Of all the mysteries that humankind has been confronted

with since its appearance on Earth, death is probably the

one that gives rise to the most questions as well as the most

hypotheses. This is because it forms part of the unknown

and, on the face of it, the unknowable. It is also because

it corresponds to an end date that no-one can escape and

that therefore concerns every one of us.

What is death ? What constitutes the beyond ? Can one

contact the deceased ? How can one help the dying ?

Burial or cremation ? Resurrection or reincarnation ? How

can one grieve ? These are some of the questions that

Serge Toussaint, the Grand Master of the French-speaking

provides answers to in this opusculum.
