In this unusual autobiography R. J. R. Rockwood describes the end of his previous incarnation, and how relieved he felt at separation from his physical body. He then viewed his future parents from the Afterlife. He was spiritually present during his own birth, after which his spirit became attached to his newborn self. Rockwood describes interactions with an invisible playmate and various ghosts. At the University of Florida his telepathic ability became the basis of a master's thesis. During the Coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, he communicated telepathically with several spirits who had succumbed to COVID-19, asking what it felt like to die, and what separation from the physical body was like. This and other experiences in Rockwood's life are described in his latest literary endeavor, The Body Dies but the Spirit Lives, 2nd Edition Revised and Enlarged.
