Embark on a journey as he transforms from an unswerving atheist into one who is certain of an afterlife. The book includes the details of his experiencing death firsthand (NDE) in which he describes his death as the best day of his life. This event sparked a journey spanning many years of researching the science of life, death, the afterlife, energy, consciousness, quantum physics, metaphysics, and pursuing the development of his intuitive abilities. Skills that he says anyone can develop and utilize for their own personal wellbeing. As each paranormal event unfolds, you will be able to follow them in real time. Each story is taken directly from Ray's personal journal and written with humility, sarcasm, and some humor. Although the subject matter may be quite serious and a little gritty at times, it is the author's wish that, those who can relate to having similar types of traumatic experiences, learn that regardless of your past, nothing can stop you from achieving your future goals and ultimately finding love and peace. This book takes you from the very beginning of this realization and through the events that transpired, for him to learn and accept the laws of the universe, and the fact that they were undeniably real. Although the book discusses metaphysical and paranormal activity, this story at its core is about the pursuit of happiness, love, and enlightenment when the odds are significantly stacked against one of having any of that. These books deal with adult subject matter and language that may not be suitable for all readers. They are not intended to be Religious in any way, nor do they support or denounce any forms of organized religion, overall.

Over time, he embraced the practice of meditation, leading him to embrace the gift of becoming a clairvoyant medium. This transformation is told through his sharing of personal stories, illustrating the evolution of his abilities."" - Deborah Lloyd for Readers' Favorite ""I liked how Ray was articulate in describing the events that led to his change in beliefs to the universal collective consciousness structure. He was open and vulnerable-and vulnerability, in my opinion, is an authentic trigger for inspiration-in how he talked about the events he experienced, his moments of self-doubt, and eventually how he got to accept the reality of the laws of the universe."" - Jachike Samuelson for The Online Book Club ​""The Atheist and the Afterlife is a thought-provoking book about recognizing and embracing one's unusual gifts."" - Carolina Ciucci - Forward Reviews ""Catania's text is distinctive in many ways - notably, its focus on the evolution of one individual's spiritual and metaphysical beliefs. The author offers multiple straightforward steps for readers to implement, despite a fairly enigmatic topic.

I'm grateful for this book dropping into my lap and I am certain it was no coincidence."" - Jamie Michele for Readers Favorite ""This book shows the reality of awakening, which is not always smooth and pleasant, and can be full of doubt and disbelief. Ray walks us through his psyche as he navigates this opening of consciousness (or 'awareness') and offers details of this raw experience plus the scientific angle. And his theory of dark energy will certainly make you think."" - Tania Berg - Host of Life Continuing Podcast"
