A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands consists of a transcription of a soul's journey following death, and has been lauded as one of the finest depictions of this otherworldly journey. Transcending traditions and human experiences over the millennia, this text attempts to advise the reader on what happens to the soul after death. The narrator, having died, explains what occurs after the moment of death, and how the soul transcends physical reality to arrive in a transitory plane of existence. There are several such realms of matter and energy; some are blissful and heavenly, while others are places of confusion, darkness or even purgatory. The conclusion of the soul's journey is to be reborn within a new body for a new life. The author, in relaying his experiences, concludes by saying his account is factual and relayed from a person who by sheer chance was able to recall much of his soul's traversal through realms beyond our own.
