From the outside, it appears to be a drama: After a knife attack, a man, fatally wounded, fights for his life. In reality, it is doctors who are battling to save him with emergency surgeries. The injured man himself lies in a coma, his consciousness exploring inner worlds beyond space and time. The realms he traverses have been described in the books of the dead from ancient cultures and in contemporary accounts of near-death experiences. Those who cross the threshold between seconds and eternity return as transformed individuals. Mario Mantese experienced this transformation at a young age. "Vision of Death" is the first book by the Swiss wisdom teacher, a classic of spiritual literature in a revised edition.
