If dying is not oppression, my knowledge that I am going to die will no longer oppress me. Instead of making me feel melancholy it will expand and deepen me.


Simultaneous with Raymond Moody's landmark book Life After Life, Johann Christoph Hampe independently discovered near-death experiences in the 1970s. Though both authors explored the phenomenon as possible evidence for life after death, Hampe took a very different approach and produced a profound, thoughtful, meditative exploration of dying before we die. Hampe wrote To Die is Gain after he himself recovered from temporary clinical death caused by a serious illness and had personally experienced dying seen from within, as he put it. This lends weight and poignancy to his reflections, particularly concerning the implications of NDEs for our time here on Earth. Hampe shows how we can gain a new vision of life from a deeper knowledge of dying, and coming to terms with our own death.
