The Domini Conspiracy: February 2008

About Me

Name: Matt

Location: Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom

Two of these blogs have been set up to explore and discuss some of the issues raised in my recently published novel, The Domini Conspiracy. Although a work of fiction and a fast-moving thriller it also deals with some big subjects including... the afterlife, personal destiny, near-death experiences, who is in control? - politics, power and religion, are we alone in the universe? do those who have passed on watch over us? The first blog, The Domini Conspiracy, considers the plot and the characters. The second, Love Is The Key, looks into some of the insights contained within the story. The third blog, This Wonderful Life, is a general record of day-to-day observations. The fourth, Don't Believe Them When They Tell You, challenges some conventional thinking. I hope you enjoy them...

Yes - I'm sure that there is life after death
Some of the characters in The Domini Conspiracy inhabit the spirit world. Readers have asked me whether I have based my description of what happens when we die on guesswork or experience! The answer, I suppose, is a bit of both. I became convinced about the continuity of consciousness through an extraordinary personal experience in 1978. I'm as sure about the reality of life after death as I am about anything (this may seem odd coming from an engineer) - but the detailed description, in the story, of what it's like on the other side is an extrapolation of my understanding. It may be true - I'll find out some day!
