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 Quotes by Annie Kagan - Goodreads The Afterlife of Billy Fingers Quotes by Annie Kagan - Goodreads
In "The Afterlife of Billy Fingers" Annie Kagan, a Manhattan chiropractor and songwriter, claims that her dead brother, William Cohen, a 62 year old recovering heroin addict and ex-con who was killed in a drunken car accident, explains the mysteries of the universe. Remember this, my darling—remember this. What you achieve on earth is only a small part of the deal. If there's a secret I could whisper, and that you could keep, it would be that it's all inside you already. Every single thing you need. Earth is just a stopover. A kind of game. Make it a star game. If I could give you a gift, it would be to teach you how to stay free inside that game, to find the glory inside yourself, beyond the roles and the drama, so you can dance the dance of the game of life with a little more rhythm, a little more abandon, a little more shaking-those-hips.” You are here: Home / Conversations / Billy Fingers Explains the Afterlife from the Spirit World Billy Fingers Explains the Afterlife from the Spirit World 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.While I find the subject very interesting, this particular elaboration of it makes me angry. I usually like reading and hearing different theories about the existance of afterlife and various interpretations of it, just to test or even expand my own beliefs and contemplate the possibilities. Most of all, I'm curious about other opinions, and not only on this subject, but so many more. That's why I read these kind of books from time to time.

The Afterlife of Billy Fingers reaffirms the NDE experiences of the light and love I encountered on the other side. It's an engaging account of the transformation of the spirit and I highly recommend." --Dannion Brinkley, bestselling author of Saved by the Light

It is nice to think that spirits are communicating with us and reassuring humanity that we will be fine when we die (we will float around in pure bliss, forgiven) but I somehow doubt that they want people to profit off of this information. It seems they have lost the concept of time, but still hold onto the concept of the almighty dollar? The core of the book is a journal of messages and "insights" into the after-life as told to the author by her deceased brother. There are also many other events that happen to the author and others that are instigated or related to what her brother is telling her. As someone who is anti-religion (as opposed to atheist), I found the story very interesting and very appealing. The introduction by Raymond Moody describes Billy as a modern psychopomp, someone who guides the spirits of others through the afterlife: "The experiences Dr. Kagan relates are completely consistent with the kind of role walkers between the worlds played in antiquity. And that is no surprise to me. I think that such experiences are part of the collective psychological heritage of humankind- not artifacts of any one culture." pg 11, ebook. When Billy wants to communicate how important something is, he describes it as physically large. For example one afterlife entity is important because it is bigger than the sun. Size is a child's way of understanding importance. Billy's visions are earthbound. He describes his own afterlife as floating around in space past stars and planets, "I'm drifting weightlessly through space with these gorgeous stars and moons and galaxies twinkling all around me." In heaven, people wear robes, and they are better looking "than the best looking actor." Even more exciting to me, Billy confirms so many of the life principles I’ve been studying throughout my adult life, in books by the visionary scientist Ernest L. Norman ( The Voice of Venus and The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation ) and now in my own books ( Cosmic Dancer and Speed Your Evolution Become the Star Being You Are Meant to Be ). In fact, if I’d asked my Cosmic CoAuthors to deliver a book that would validate their interdimensional view of human life, their schematic of repeated incarnations with long sojourns of learning in Higher Worlds, their view of life as a series of Infinite possibilities and extended potential for individual, soulic growth— Billy Fingers would be it.
