Life Chapters is a literary thrust into another world. It is a profound challenge to the materialist assumption that consciousness perishes with physical death. This account is consistent with the emerging evidence that consciousness is infinite in space and time, therefore immortal, eternal, and one.

This book speaks volumes on the greatest issues before men and women in relationship today intimacy, trust, and spiritual connection and the paths we choose to work out those issues. I applaud Dr. Stollers bravery and honesty in sharing his journey.

Expansionconnectionlearningjoy. I closed Galens book and these are the words that lingered, each describing an experience of the afterlife. Featured are stories of people who journeyed through earth and are continuing their evolution on the other side. Amazing how our quirks and personalities carry forward yet our life lessons are wondrously enhanced and reinforced. Uplifting to know that what we can gain there can also be accessed here. How very narrow is the bridge of light between life and death.

This book gives a new understanding to the emotions of grief, fear, love, and connection. It inspires the reader to contemplate how their own beliefs can shape and limit their experience in this life and beyond. Galens words provide great comfort to me, confirming that the energetic fields I experience with this earthly body are but small glimpses of what exists in the afterlife and further clarifying what I know in my heart to be the true nature of existence.

Dr. Stollers fearless translation of his son Galens afterlife experience and soul growth is a vital contribution to those of us who grieve the loss of our loved ones. The information shared by Galen can inspire us to focus on our own souls contract by seeking to understand the lessons offered by The University of Earth and doing our best to make a positive difference on the planet.

Beautifully written and inspiring, Life Chapters is a must read for those who seek to understand that there truly is an all-pervasive life force to which we are all connected, that there is life after life, and that love is forever.

CONTENTS
Foreword
To some, the stories in this book will no doubt seem fanciful, the result of an active imagination essentially fiction. This is not, however, how the books author and editor see them. For starters, the author, Galen Stoller, can speak with unusual authority as he died in 2007 in an accident, as a young man of sixteen. The editor, K Paul Stoller, is his father, who sought to overcome his grief and reestablish connection with his son via a talented medium. Their communications were not limited to an occasional dream or coincidence, but resulted in a flood of detailed information on what was happening to Galen in his new life, initially described in My Life after Life, published in 2011. This second book continues where the first left off, but focuses less on Galen and more on other inhabitants of the afterlife dimension he presently inhabits. These sixteen stories are regarded as true accounts, in as much as the limits of human understanding and the translation from one dimension to another can apprehend them. Most concern people who have lived human lives in the fairly recent past, while some have experienced nonhuman existence, and often accompanying the humans are animals and angels.
These life stories are rendered with a sense of purpose and urgency as father and son, separated but still joined through the barrier of death, explore life and its consequences from both sides. How one lives and how one dies are, we are told, important in determining the nature of postmortem existence. In each story, what people bring with them to the afterlife, especially their beliefs and personality traits, affect where they go and what happens to them. If someone dies believing they will be transported straight to heaven, with angels in white playing harps, this is likely to be their first experience not because this is what heaven is like but because those who meet the newly arrived will take on the form or forms that best enable them to make the transition to this new dimension. Beliefs, the thoughts we accept as true, create reality, albeit one that passes in due course. Theosophy, a spiritual philosophy originating in the late nineteenth century, has long taught that thought has a physical component and real consequences. We may not see these clearly on earth, but in the afterlife dimensions thought is the chief vehicle of creation. The houses, fields, rivers, halls of learning, and all the other features of Galens world are the product of human (and nonhuman) thought created and given solidity by those who inhabit that plane.
For example, just after he arrived in the afterlife Galen was met by a search and rescue dog named Andy, who, as portrayed in My Life after Life
