Interview with Stephen Chong

Stephen Chong is the author of The Afterlife, a Journey To. ‘The
Afterlife’ is a book that takes the reader into and through
Heaven’s many levels or portals – a bit like a scenic railway
tour. The book is written as a novel. Stephen explains the book
was written around the time when horrendous stories were emerging
about the abuse of children within religious orders and other
institutions. He then wrote a short story (essentially, chapter
one of the book) about what happens after death to those
complicit in the process of denial and abuse.


One of the principal characters - ‘the Bishop’, upon his death,
has to face the consequences of his actions - in this case, his
self-righteousness and insouciance to the truth. For the
narrator, Athar, his is a journey told from the horrors of abuse
by the clergy and his subsequent suicide, that plots his path
through heaven with the sword of forgiveness in his right hand
and the scepter of love in his left.


In our conversation we talk about the following:


What the different levels of Heaven look like in his book

How people can continue to grow, evolve, and practice
forgiveness in Heaven

How children and people with physical disabilities are taken
care of in Heaven

His beliefs about life after death



Stephen’s ideas about Heaven and the Afterlife helped me increase
my faith and hope that my loved ones and myself would be taken
care of after death. It also encouraged me to live my life in a
way that is more consistent with my Soul Purpose.
