About the book
Heading Toward Omega, Kenneth Ring’s most influential book, was the first to examine in detail the aftereffects of the near-death experiences, which represents a key to their meaning. In this three-year intensive study of near-death survivors, Dr. Ring showed that near-death experiences tend to lead to a total transformation of a person’s attitudes, beliefs and values and are often catalysts for spiritual awakening. Indeed it is possible that such experiences, now known to have occurred to many millions of people around the world, may collectively herald the birth of a higher consciousness for all humanity.
