Should Science Have the Last Word on the Afterlife?

Julia Assante, PhD

Dr. Julia Assante has been an active medium, life reader and medical intuitive since 1977. She was tested at Columbia University (1981) for telepathy and remote viewing under scientifically controlled conditions. Her accuracy scores were so high above other professional psychics that the researchers created a category for her alone. She is regarded as outstanding within the field of parapsychology. Julia is also the author of The Last Frontier: Exploring the Afterlife and Transforming Our Fear of Death. Her book won the Nautilus Gold Award for the category of death, dying and grief. Publisher’s Weekly called it “… the most important book on the enigma of death since the ground-breaking work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.” Her book was endorsed by such stellar authors as Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey and Dean Radin, among others. In The Last Frontier, Julia draws primarily on her own amazing experiences as an active professional intuitive for 47 years. Her strong academic background (Columbia University and Yale) allowed her to include her ground-breaking exploration of the various historical constructions of the afterlife, from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to the present. Her book also includes consciousness research, physics, quantum biology, and parapsychology, studies of Near-Death Experiences and Nearing Death Awareness. She also uses the records of past-life therapists, of which she is one, of medical personnel and bereavement counselors. Her book further supports survival after death by including some of the best testaments of the many thousands of people who have experienced communication with the dead. Many readers have called The Last Frontier the Bible of life after death. During the last 47 years, Julia has given private sessions and workshops in English and German, in the US and Europe on remote viewing, healing and medical intuition, after death communication, and recalling past and future incarnations. Furthermore, she has appeared on the TV program “Meine letzte Chance” (“My Last Chance)” which has helped people lead healthier lives. She has also given numerous talks and interviews on topics such as after-death communication, end-of-life research, mediumship, and spiritual transformation. As a certified regression / Past-Life therapist, she has helped many individuals on their profound journeys of self-discovery, which often leads to physical healing from even such dangerous diseases as cancer. Her greatest achievement, however, is the Percy Project in which she scientifically proves the survival of life after death using technology. The result of her last trials were extraordinary, without a single failure but with many mind-boggling surprises. She hopes to continue trials in Vienna soon. For more on this, see The Percy Project on this website. Academically, Julia is an established archaeologist and social historian of the ancient Near East, including ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. She was awarded a PhD by Columbia, but also studied at She taught at Columbia, Bryn Mawr and the University of Münster and has given talks at major universities in the United States and Europe. Her numerous, often revolutionary, scholarly articles (see Academia.edu) continue to influence research on the ancient Near East as well as biblical and Greco-Roman studies. Julia has led a multicultural life. She has lived in the US but also in France, Italy, Germany, Austria and China. She has also studied seven languages, including three cuneiform ones. Today, she lives a quieter life with her partner, dividing her time between Austria and France. Even in retirement, she continues to share her knowledge through talks, interviews and writing, to inspire a new generation to be aware of the next step–nonlocal multidimensional universes! It’s going to be fun!
