Experiencing Interruptions?

"The Myth of Death"

This film aims to remove the mystique and above all fear surrounding death.

Backed by The Blavatsky Trust it presents a historical panorama of dying, death and rebirth featuring a diverse traditions down the ages and across the globe. It examines contemporary attitudes to death and dying and challenges the materialistic view that death spells annihilation, oblivion and extinction of consciousness. It presents the alternative view – that consciousness survives death of the physical body.

THE MYTH OF DEATH, produced and presented by film-maker Tim Wyatt (and based on his book Everyone’s Book Of The Dead), also highlights rapidly changing attitudes about death with around 30-35 per cent of people in Europe and the US now believing in rebirth.
