When American Annie Kagan was sixteen, she composed and performed songs, and soon received an invitation from a producer from Columbia Records. After 10 years of performing songs in New York City clubs, Annie returned to college and became a chiropractor in private practice in Manhattan.
After a chance meeting with a spiritual teacher from the East, she began to practice meditation intensively, which ultimately led her to decide to leave her career as a doctor and the hustle and bustle of city life in search of tranquility. She moved to a small house by the bay on the outskirts of Long Island and returned to songwriting.
But when her brother Billy died unexpectedly and, she said, began talking to her from the underworld, her future changed in an amazing way. She recorded her conversations with Billy and published them in her debut book, The Afterlife of Billy Fingers.
Excerpt from the book:
“When my brother Billy woke me up three weeks after his death, describing the afterlife and what was happening to him, I thought I had become a little crazy. How could my brother, the“bad guy”who died tragically, had problems with drug addiction all his life, who did not live up to what most people call a successful life, how could he share the secrets of the greatest secret of life from another dimension? But as time passed, my skepticism was replaced by interest in what Billy told me about death.
1. The first thing you feel is Bliss. Once you die, you leave your body and find yourself in the Healing Room. The light in this Room erases all the evil that you have suffered from throughout your life, physical, mental and emotional. So, in less than a nanosecond, all your pain is gone.
2. You still feel yourself. Even if you no longer have your body, you still feel human. In fact, you feel much more of yourself than when you were alive. While you are on Earth, the influence of others is very strong, so you almost cannot be yourself.

3. Light has identity. In the afterlife, the rays of light have qualities such as wisdom, kindness, compassion, and intelligence. This light makes visible what is invisible on Earth, the Divine nature of all things.
4. Sin and Punishment is a Human Concept. There is a lot of fiction about what may await you after death. Making mistakes while you are alive is part of the contract for life on earth. If we have to become ideal in order to get to the so-called Heaven, then no one can do it here.
5. Your life on Earth is not a punishment either. There is undoubtedly pain in life, but not because you did everything to deserve it. Pain is part of the human experience, as natural as breathing or sight or blood moving through your veins.
6. After death, instead of the Day of Judgment, you will find a “Non-Judgment Day”. When you look at your life, you see the paths and decisions that you have chosen and those that you have not chosen. You see where a genius has led you and where you could have done better, but you do not feel judged for it. And even if it no longer makes sense to you at that moment, after death you understand that you had a great life, even difficult parts of it.
7. You will be happy, feeling yourself. And you won't care how you look. There is no need for ambition or effort, everything appears by itself. You just shine, which requires no effort.
8. Love is not the same as Earthly Love. You dislike because of what you do, how you look, how famous you are, or how much money you have in your pockets. This is not that I loved you yesterday, but today not a bit. Love is truly unconditional. The most controversial of all is that there is no perfect compassion in the afterlife, and no matter how you lived, you are loved."
