The Last Frontier

What if humanity's greatest fear is based on a fundamental misunderstanding?

Dr. Julia Assante, PhD — medium since 1977, scholar, and researcher — has written a book that does not provide simple answers. Instead, it dismantles the questions themselves.

What is it about?

"The Last Frontier" is a scientifically grounded exploration of life after death. Julia combines over 40 years of personal experience as a medium with academic research from Columbia University and Yale — and with the latest findings from quantum biology, consciousness research, and parapsychology.

The book is structured in four parts:

Part I — The Evidence for Survival Near-death experiences, after-death communication, reincarnation — and the question: can survival after death be proven?

Part II — The Social Construction of the Afterlife How have religions and cultures from antiquity to the present shaped our concept of death — and what role does fear play?

Part III — Dying, Death and Beyond What really happens when we die? How do we prepare — and what awaits us on the other side?

Part IV — All About Contact How do we make contact with the deceased? What is telepathy — and why is it the most important tool for after-death communication?

What makes this book extraordinary:

Publisher's Weekly called it the most important book on death since the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. It won the Nautilus Gold Award and was endorsed by Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, and Dean Radin.

But above all, it is a book that dissolves the fear of death — not through empty promises, but through evidence, stories, and science.

We are already immortal. We only need to recognize it.

The Last Frontier | Julia Assante | life after death | near-death experience | consciousness | reincarnation | fear of death | quantum biology | telepathy
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!
