Description:
While in a deep coma, Connie Calderone met Jessica LaCoppola—the late daughter of her best friend—during a near-death experience. In the course of their conversation, Jessica said she was getting everything ready to receive one of her close relatives who would soon die. Six months later, the fulfillment of the prophecy set Dr. Louis Villalba off on the search for a neurophysiological explanation. His findings challenge the present scientific basis of life and death.
A professor of neurology and author of 73 scientific papers and book chapters, Villalba relates this true story in his new work “Afterlife Tracks.”
“This is a secular book,” Villalba says. “It addresses the existence of the afterlife, not because your religious beliefs tell you so, but because it can be scientifically proven.”
The prophecy and its outcome distinguish the near-death experience described in this book from all those previously reported in the medical and lay literature. The events began in 1990 in Chicago, where the author had a thriving neurology practice, and unfolded over 13 years. All the protagonists of the story filed through his office, unveiling their lives as he juggled the roles of healer and friend. The book narrates a series of paranormal incidents including one the neurologist perceived in front of the victim’s corpse.
“I felt as if a new dimension had opened its door for me to peek into,” Villalba writes. “Apparently, the window to this other world was there, displayed before everyone’s eyes at the chapel.”
His awe-inspiring task of explaining these experiences ends at the gap between logic and faith. Here, armed with the scientific means to prove the existence of the Afterlife, he confronts the truth.
The last 60 pages of the book narrate “Glimpses of the Occult.” This section contains fourteen short paranormal stories based on the supernatural incidents that Villalba encountered throughout his 40-year neurological career. The following accounts are among them: a daughter sees silvery rays shoot up from her mother’s body at the very moment of her mother’s death; images of a corpse in the bathroom of an apartment besieged a new occupant; a healthy young woman announces her death several months in advance; a woman notices a halo around her uncle’s head and knows of his imminent departure; a moribund lady greets her late relatives that stand at her bedside before her final journey; a comatose man briefly regained full alertness to bid goodbye to his loved ones and sink again into unconsciousness and death; a fortuneteller foretells a husband’s demise on an upcoming trip; an amulet causes havoc at an Ouija session, the participants fleeing out of the room in panic.
The book has won praise from reviewers:
“His philosophy of life comes through very strongly and makes the book very appealing. So much so, as a matter of fact, that I would recommend many in his profession read this to see what it’s all about.” — Professor Donald Cassiday of North Park University in Chicago
“It’s a wonderful book, which tells excellent stories, as well as conveying strong spiritual meaning, in the very best sense.” –Professor Fred Shafer of Northwestern University in Evanston, IL
