You, Again
A Cartography of the Invisible
Here is a question that haunts the edges of every human life. It is whispered at bedsides, debated in academies, and chanted in temples across the world. It is the question that drives our philosophy and defines our courage: What happens next?
For most of us, the answer we hold is inherited. We are born into a story—a linear path to heaven, a cyclical return to earth, or perhaps a sudden stop into silence. We rarely look at the other maps. But what if we laid them side by side?
You, Again is an atlas of the invisible. It is an attempt to survey the topography of the afterlife not through the lens of a single faith, but through the collective imagination of humanity.

Three Maps of the Afterlife
Just as a medical text maps the circulatory system, this book maps the circulation of the soul. To navigate this terrain, we explore the three distinct “physics” of the afterlife found across human history:
The Cyclical Cosmos
(Indo-Tibetan)
Existence is a vertical high-rise. The universe is a closed loop of cause and effect, where the soul is driven up or down by the specific gravity of Karma.
The Linear Ascension
(Western / Monotheistic)
Existence is a ladder or a refining fire. The soul is a spark returning to its Source through stages of purification, judgment, and rectification.
The Ancestral Continuum
(Indigenous / East Asian)
Existence is a parallel dimension. The dead do not leave; they become invisible elders in a reciprocal ecosystem, maintaining the lineage alongside the living.

A visual journey through the history of the soul.
Voices of the Wise & Glorious
In these pages, you will meet the diverse chorus of voices that have taken the idea of continuity seriously. You will hear from Greek philosophers and Roman poets, quantum physicists and Victorian psychiatrists, Sufi mystics and American transcendentalists.
From Plato and Pythagoras to David Bowie and Carl Jung, You, Again profiles the thinkers, artists, and scientists who shared a single, resilient intuition: that human life is not a biological accident that ends in a blackout, but a chapter in a much longer story.
