Ptolemy Tompkins examines how the different spiritual traditions across the millenia have viewed death and the afterlife in his latest book, The Modern Book of the Dead. He discusses the common elements of ancient and traditional beliefs as well as the results of near death experiences, and how taken together they present an enormously convincing and encouraging argument for the continuance of life after death, with its implications as to how to live our lives today.

LYRICS:
We are the children of father Abraham, our roots are mingled in the same holy land

CHORUS:Pomegranate, almond, vine, fig and olive; the tree of life is our family tree

Our fruits have turned bitter
our roots have been watered with so much blood and so many tears              CHO
We seek peace because we love our children more than we fear our enemies  CHO
Our passion for life runs old and deep enough to feed a grove of trees           CHO

We are the children of Avraham avinu, our roots are mingled in the same holy land
CHO:  RImon, Shaked, Geffen, T'eyna v'zayit; Eytz ha-khayim hu ilan mishpakha

We are the children of Ibrahim Khalil-Rakhmon; 
our roots are mingled in the same holy land
CHO:  Rumaneh, Lozeh, D'waali, Tineh wa Zaytuneh;
          Shezherat al haya hi'yeh shezharat ayleh
          The tree of life is our family tree
