Afterlife Of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death

Product Information

As I was reading I started to receive signs of my own. I too lost someone close to me who struggled with addiction. Like Annie I fought so hard to save I have to add, when I finished the book, I opened my Facebook and the first post I saw from a friend started with, The Afterlife of Billy Fingers isn't going to appeal to everyone. If you don't believe that communications from beyond the grave are possible, I'd suggest passing on this book. And, towards the end of Billy's travels into the afterlife, things get really far out as he lets go of his previous self and becomes the universe, embodying the entirety of reality. It reminded me of Be Here Now by Ram Dass, hippie to the extreme. But, that's the type of spirituality I'm into, so I loved it.

The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother

One of the most detailed and profound ADC’s ever recorded, Kagan’s book takes the reader beyond the near-death experience. Billy’s vivid, real-time account of his on-going journey through the mysteries of death will change the way you think about life. Death and your place in the Universe. The Afterlife of Billy Fingers is an extraordinary example of extended after-death communication. It's one of the most powerful, liberating, and healing books on 'life after death' I've ever read. In fact, you may have a spiritual experience while reading it that will transform your beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife. I cannot recommend it highly enough to everyone who is grieving the death of a child, spouse, parent, or any other loved one." --Bill Guggenheim, co-author of Hello from Heaven! Humans don't usually get to experience the full magnificence of their lives while they're living it. They get caught up in lots of ideas and lose sight of the miracle that is their life.”

Many of the things he related offered me validation that I have come far on my quest for enlightenment and that my path has proven to be the one that has led me to my best use of soul purpose. This fascinating book may initially surprise and baffle some readers. Some may find Dr. Kagan’s narrative of her otherworldly adventures with a deceased brother hard to believe. That’s too bad, though, because the Greek philosophers who founded Western thought knew full well about the remarkable phenomenon she describes. In fact, Greek philosophers even had a name for the people who somehow suspended between this life and the next life, “walkers between the worlds.” Dr. Kagan’s thought-provoking account is an excellent example. Raymond Moody, M.D., Ph.D.

It's a good idea to sort through your beliefs now and then and throw out the ones that don't serve you.” To be a pearl maker, your oyster needs a good strong shell to protect you from a hundred million irritants in your environment. Your shell helps you tell one grain of sand from the other. You know which one can become a pearl and which one isn't worth the irritation.” I feel that Annie needed to write this book not only to get her brothers word out there, but also to maybe help someone else who maybe struggling with the loss of a loved one and will find some comfort by reading Billy's story. Everyone that reads this book, will have their own interpretation of what he is telling her, but if it brings some sort of peace to someone, then it will have helped. I appreciate that you have written me, as it is stories like yours that fulfill me and show me that my work has value. My best wishes to you and your husband, Sharon.

Annie’s story of her brother Billy definitely falls into this category. Ever since mankind started to probe the mysteries of life there has been an unceasing interest in and fascination for everything relating to ‘life after death’. The newer Western religions deny or ignore reincarnation, while most have definite concepts of a heaven and a hell. The most ancient religions, however, integrate the incarnated life into a broader picture with an eternal soul or spirit. What is presented in this small but intense book serves to confirm and expand on this second view of life where ‘the traveller changes his clothes and continues his journey’. I almost gave it a 4 star rating.....I was totally engrossed in the book until the end. It was a bit difficult to get the point....not sure what he was describing and where he was going in the end. I guess I was expecting more, I left the book feeling lonely and a little sad, although parts of the book were gave you some comfort.....I was left wondering why he could continue memories of his sister, when he spoke of memories all going away......

As I was reading I started to receive signs of my own. I too lost someone close to me who struggled with addiction. Like Annie I fought so hard to save him when he couldn't be saved. At first I thought the book was too over the top for me, even though I have gotten visits before, these entire and persistent conversations seemed too good to be true. After reading the first several chapters I said out loud, "This book is bullshit. Zach (my friend that passed) if this is for real give me a sign right now". For whatever reason I decided to continue reading even though I was skeptical and wasn't yet connecting with the book. The very next words I read were about how Billy couldn't be saved and that Annie shouldn't worry about what everyone thought about her, being an enabler, stupid, etc. when it came to her trying to save him. These were the exact thoughts/emotions I had struggled with since my own loss. It was the sign I needed to continue reading and start believing. The Afterlife of Billy Fingers is a wholly believable story that never strikes a false note. This is not a story that asks you to believe anything, but simply to listen with an open mind and heart. I think you will find yourself transfixed. Rev. Susan Varon The bulk of Billy's verbiage is directed to Kagan and their bruised and bruising relationship. She worshipped and tried to save him; he resented her, ignored her, and let her down. Suddenly he's in heaven and she's all he's got time for. There are passages that read almost as incestuous. Billy refers to Kagan as "my darling." "Who but you could I tell my secrets to, my darling?" I believe all this as Kagan working out her issues. There are parts of the book that seem to run on and become a bit redundant. I attribute that to her brother trying to put into words things and events that are fundamentally beyond limited human comprehension. It would be like trying to describe what you would see if you were traveling at the speed of light.
