First published twenty-five years ago, Party of Twelve: The Afterlife Interviews presents an extraordinary series of conversations with a group of twelve communicators from what they describe as the Afterlife. Channeled by Barbara With, the group-known as "The Party" and headed by Albert Einstein-offers perspectives on consciousness, death, life beyond the physical world, human experience, and the larger reality in which we exist. Rather than presenting a traditional account of the afterlife, the book unfolds as an intimate series of interviews. The personalities of the twelve emerge through their conversations, disagreements, humor, ideas, and individual perspectives. Together, they invite readers to consider one of humanity's oldest questions: What happens to us when we die? Twenty-five years after its original publication, Barbara returns to Party of Twelve to ask what has happened since those first conversations-and to share what she's learned along the way. This 25th Anniversary Special Edition preserves the original book while adding new material that brings the story into the present. Barbara shares an update on the extraordinary twenty-five-year journey since the book first appeared, reflecting on her experiences, the evolution of her understanding, and the changing world in which these questions are being asked. Most significantly, the Special Edition includes a new complete interview with The Party, bringing all twelve communicators together again.

After a quarter of a century, the conversation continues. The result is more than a commemorative reissue. It is a meeting between then and now-between the questions, ideas, and voices that began this journey twenty-five years ago and what has emerged from the journey since. For readers discovering Party of Twelve for the first time, this edition opens the original door. For those who have traveled with The Party before, it offers an opportunity to return-and to hear what they have to say twenty-five years later.
