How to live this present life better becomes the prime objective once personal evidence shows that we do survive death. In Hidden Man, Paul Beard studies the contribution of discarnate teachers who seek to clarify something of the meaning and worth of life upon this tangled earth. They are never dogmatic, leaving each person entirely free to consider, to accept or reject, as he wills. Each must find his own path through what is shown to be a very long journey over many lives. This book completes the trilogy that began with Survival of Death wherein Paul Beard presented some of evidence for a continuing life. Then followed Living On, discussing evidence we possess about the nature, quality and meaning of life beyond death. Paul Beard writes with that clarity of style which is the fruit of a lifetime's study. Many newly published quotations are from the author's own teacher, spoken through Mrs Ena Twigg, and a few of his past incarnations are described by her and Mrs Ivy Northage, although some of these are of little credit to him. 'The scheme is no mystery. It is a perfect plan, that you return to God in your way with guidance.' The Hidden Man is the long-term being within, who gradually discovers himself, in ways which are searching, intimate, sometimes strenuous, and yet unique to each.
