After the Afterlife:
Memories of My Past Lives
2023 Book !!
RELEASED APRIL 14, 2023
What happens after we die?
Do we ever become human again?
In a different body? In a different culture?
Kelvin’s memories indicate we do.
After the Afterlife: Memories of My Past Lives explores what happens after we die, and also what happens after we leave the Other Side to become human once again. It gives possible clues about Why, What and How we could continue after we die.
Kelvin’s memories reach back 6,000 years.
In 1977, back when he often teased others for their interest in reincarnation, Kelvin spontaneously started remembering events from his own past lives. Decades later, his memories now span two dozen lifetimes — from ancient Sumeria, Egypt, Judea and Rome to Asia, 18th century Europe, and 19th and 20th century America.
The details of Kelvin’s memories provide a window into the development of his own personality traits, and those of some well-known historical characters. Studying those traits as they developed reveals similarities in behavioral and emotional patterns that could help you understand your own personality better too, while also providing a more comprehensive vision of our place in the universe.
Kelvin’s memories will take you along on his personal journey
through recorded history,
shedding new light on many well-known events.

Reader Reviews
A brilliant recollection of lives lived in the past...it Triggered memories stored within my Own subconscious...
“This book is a brilliant recollection of lives lived in the past.
It will make you think and possibly even trigger those memories that are stored within your own subconscious.
That’s what it did for me!”
— Annmarie Martin
A very rare degree of emotional honesty...vividly entertaining stories...
“After the Afterlife: Memories of My Past Lives, by Kelvin Chin, combines a very rare degree of emotional honesty about his past with vividly entertaining stories about the similarities and differences of being alive in ancient and medieval cultures versus being alive today in the 21st century.
“Kelvin also raises a fundamental question about how we live our lives: how emotionally honest should we be? To be honest and direct is considered desirable and is often admired in the abstract — but it is more often considered socially unacceptable behavior. We have all heard the advice: “Don’t ask those kinds of questions” and “don’t you dare go there” and “discussing religion and politics in polite society is verboten.”
Fortunately, Kelvin appears to have been ignoring such advice for millennia, making the journey he takes us along on all the more intriguing.”
— George C. Hammond
A calm, empirical, even skeptical approach...shares how his knowing these past lives makes a difference in the here and now...
“Kelvin’s calm, empirical, and even skeptical approach to spiritual matters has always impressed me. And in his new book he shares with us memories of dozens of lifetimes using that same rational approach. More importantly, he shares how knowing these past lives makes a difference in the here and now. The stories are entertaining. And you will come away with a better understanding of who you are as more than just the role you are playing in this one lifetime.”
— Brian D. Smith
More Praise for “After the Afterlife”...
“Fascinating account taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions. This is the 3rd book I have read by this author and it did not disappoint. It offers a very thought provoking account of past lives and you don’t have to necessarily be a ‘believer’.
A fascinating book taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions and a real eye opener.”
— Gemma Wynne, United Kingdom 🇬🇧
“Je voudrais vraiment remercier Kelvin Chin pour me donner de l'espoir que nous pouvons être conscient et consciencieux pendant nos incarnations. Nous pouvons aussi apprendre beaucoup de nos incarnations précédentes pour améliorer ce moment-ci. Il y a toujours les raisons pour notre comportement dans chaque moment qui doit venir de nos choix que nous avons fait dans notre passé (de cette incarnation et de ceux avant celle-ci), mais nous avons toujours le pouvoir à changer la direction de notre existence ici et maintenant. Il y a toujours la possibilité pour extraire la positivité d'un gros réservoir qui est toujours disponible dedans nous-mêmes.
Si vous pouvez lire en anglais, je vous invite à joindre Kelvin en explorant l'histoire de son histoire pendant ses plusieurs vies précédentes. Inoubliable!”
“I would really like to thank Kelvin Chin for giving me hope that we can be aware and conscientious spanning all of our incarnations. We can also learn a lot from our previous incarnations to improve this moment. There are always reasons for our behavior in each moment which must come from our choices that we have made in our past (of this incarnation and those before this one), but we always have the power to change the direction of our existence here and now. There is always the possibility to extract positivity from a huge reservoir that is always available within ourselves.
I would like to invite you to join Kelvin in exploring his story of his history over some of his previous lives. Unforgettable!”

“Remarkable read — will have you thinking about what makes you who you are!”
— Joe Gee
“Keep an open mind. After reading the book After the Afterlife, I came away with a sense of awe that I personally can not get from reliving my past lives. I have no memories of past lives. But I was able to feel the thrill of past life memories from reading Kelvin Chin’s newest book. As a lover of history it was an edge of your seat read being able to pick insights of all if these past lives. It is a reminder of how we could have been rich or poor, male or female, and white or black in a past life. It brings to mind the Law of One and how important it is for us to love one another and treat everyone with respect. Jesus Golden Rule is real.
It was a quick and easy read written very simple and straight foreword. I suggest you read this book to open your mind to possibilities you never expected. I have not regretted my purchase. Thanks and happy reading.”
— LeAnn Helling
“Have you ever had questions about your life purpose? About what we are doing here? Why we chose these bodies? I have always had these questions and in my quest for these answers, one book I found was by the author, Kelvin Chin. His book is a confirmation as to why we chose to come here and the different scenarios we put ourselves through. We are indeed eternal.
This book is written in a style that anyone can understand. It is simple but yet very in depth. The author goes through several recollections of his previous lives and memories in a step by step format. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in these topics.”
— Bruce Tiam-Fook
“Kelvin Chin's After the Afterlife is a beacon of light in a world often clouded by uncertainty and doubt. It instills a profound sense of hope and optimism, encouraging readers to live their lives to the fullest and embrace the infinite possibilities that await us beyond this earthly existence. This book is a true gem that will leave a lasting impact on all who embark on its transformative journey. Enjoy the journey.”
— Mahesh Chookolingo
“I would highly recommend reading Kelvin Chin's 3rd book After the Afterlife! This fascinating book reflects the Author's own life past events. After reading this book, I have come away with a better understanding that it is possible we all have past life memories and that death is not the end. Thank you Kelvin for sharing your past life memories with us. This book is an eye opener and will change the way you thought you knew about past lives.”
— Natalie
“I have followed Kelvin's work for some time now and whilst it has always provided a sense of hope that there is more to our lives than this brief sojourn we all currently experience, this particular book outlines why it is actually useful & relevant to explore past lives, beyond simply knowing that we have experienced them and the ramifications thereof.
As usual, it is written in Kelvin's inimitable style which I find seeks to illuminate whilst allowing for individual analysis & conclusion.
If nothing else, I am always amazed at how committed Kelvin is to his cause of lessening humanity's fear of death — thanks Kelvin.”

“A very interesting book about the past lives of the writer, a very passionate meditation teacher. After years of meditation, these memories came up little by little. It's an exciting exploration of the different characters. Some of them are historically well-known figures. The stories are enjoyable to read and offer a unique perspective. The writer remains neutral about his experiences; he does not claim at any time that it is an absolute fact that these are indeed past lives, but the possibility is certainly being kept open. Highly recommended for anyone who is curious about reincarnation and loves historical stories.”
— Frauke Drieghe, Belgium 🇧🇪
“Kelvin's book, After the Afterlife, presents a unique and compelling way to gain insight into his past 6000 years. The author’s journey of self-discovery takes the reader on a profound and insightful exploration of the reincarnation.
“Central to the book is the notion that the road to wisdom and self-discovery is found by turning within oneself. Kelvin reveals that he has gained the memory of his past lives through conscious effort. Furthermore, he has validated his experiences with logic thinking to reach his inner confirmation.
“One of the important aspects of this book is that Kelvin’s objective is not to convince or change people's beliefs but instead to provide different perspectives to consider. He offers himself as a teacher, not a preacher. In doing so, he creates lenses for readers to look through, which ultimately helps them to know themselves.
“The book emphasizes that learning about one’s past is to help live life today, and applying logic thinking in the spiritual experience is a way to develop spiritual science. Accepting one's past and understanding it helps to improve inner peace. This is demonstrated in Kevin's experience where his past life experiences and personality traits seem to transverse time and space for millennia. He asserts that retaining one's core identity is something that gives people assurance that their minds continue not only after they die but also from lifetime to lifetime.
“The author's writing style is clear and concise, making it easy to follow his journey. His personal stories are engaging, and his logical reasoning provides a sense of credibility to his accounts. Overall, After the Afterlife: Memories of My Past Lives is an intriguing read that offers a unique perspective on self-discovery and spiritual growth. It is highly recommended for those who are interested in exploring the spiritual world and looking for ways to gain insight into their past lives to improve their present-day lives.”
— Michael Yang
“Kelvin’s book on his past life memories is like reading an amazing history book! He shares his past life memories as related to the actual history of the person; which confirms some of the details of his memories. His book is organized in consecutive order, beginning with his earliest past life memory experiences. Some of them are quite fascinating!! His past lives range from a person in Sumeria in 4000 BC to a pilot in World War II.
One major difference I found in his book from most other past life memory books is that his past life memories are spontaneously experienced by him without a past life regressionist. He sees his past lives in dreams, when meditating and when traveling to different places. This has inspired me to give further credence to some possible past life memories that I have seen.
The second part of his book relates how his past life memories/personalities have influenced his present day personality. This is interesting because we believe that our personalities are completely influenced by our present life experiences.
Another interesting point is that Kelvin’s present day friend is also his friend in many of his past life experiences. As Kelvin wrote: “I have noticed that many of us can and do overlap and meet each other, and may interact once again in varying relationships over the millennia.”
Kelvin ends his book with: “What’s The Point?”, which is the main question one would ask regarding past life memories. He writes that his “primary reason for paying attention to information…from resurfacing past life memories is to help me learn more about myself….and has helped (and continues to help) me live my life today.
This book helps one to be ensured of an eternal journey.”

“Having read (and reviewed) Kelvin Chin’s first two books, Overcoming the Fear of Death and Marcus Aurelius Updated, and attended his lectures in person and online I am pleased to see this detailed analysis of his past life experiences. I have wondered (since I have no such experiences) how such experiences could benefit one’s personal development. These and other similar questions are addressed in this book, After the Afterlife. In recommending this book I am put in mind of the following:
“Do you like history? Have you ever been inspired by a historical figure and yet wonder what they were “really like”? What if you could meet one that had inspired you? What if they were your contemporary and could explain what had inspired them in their day? And what if that in turn led to your being able to learn directly from them those practices and insights so that their inspiration became more available to you?
“On the other hand: Have you ever been inspired by a description or explanation of reincarnation? Have you fully accepted and understood the existing descriptions of what happens when you die or when (if) you are reborn?
“If you answered yes to the first set of questions and no, or not so sure, to the second set of questions, then you owe it to yourself and those other souls with whom you share this lifetime to read Kelvin’s description of his search for the source of and reasons for those questions. His resume includes half a century of organizing and teaching meditation to thousands of people of many nationalities and religions.
“How important is it? I won’t spoil it for you but the difference between most self help/personal development spiritual books and this one is the clear connection you’re encouraged to develop between experiences (or even desired experiences) and verification of those experiences that would lead to implementation of the principles gained in a lifetime of increased awareness.”
— Kamin Lambertson
“For the believers in "past lives", this book is a stunning triumph! For nonbelievers, it may sow the first seeds of doubt, or at least make one pause to re-consider the phenomenon of "past lives".
“Kelvin, showcasing his past lives, challenges all of us to consider, "What if...?"
“I have known Kelvin for 60 years, and have read his prior works, Marcus Aurelius Updated, and Overcoming the Fear of Death, but this work is singularly unique in peeling back the layers of Kelvin and analyzing the past lives he has lived, and their influence upon him. In sharing this process with us, Kelvin presents a walk through his personal history which is also our common human history.
“His writing is beautifully graphic and personal, and he paints pictures with his lived experiences in his past lives. From Simon Peter and Richard the Lionhearted, to Sitting Bull and more modern individuals, Kelvin presents a flowing narrative and personality profiles of how these past lives influence his current state of mind and action. The power of his intellect is interwoven with life lessons of his current persona. In analyzing the personalities of his past lives, he is defining his current personality for us all, while also challenging us to examine our own histories and the people and events that have influenced us.
“I was struck by "coincidences" he identified in his current live that tied back to past lives -- his fluency with the French language, but also speaking words from the Lakota Sioux language; muscle memory experiences that tied back to prior lives; the Wilhelmine-Wilhelmina connection with his daughter; his first speaking engagement in King of Prussia, PA; and that feeling we all get at one time or another that we have experienced something before.
So, "What if...?"
— Mark Wilson, Ed.D.
“Kelvin Chin is sharing his very rare ability to recall numerous past lives. Being a meditation practitioner, and teacher, for over forty years provides creditability to his metaphysical experiences. Kelvin’s past lives provides first hand information historical books can not. Kelvin is able to view his past lives, and actually experience physical sensations, including the pain of the burning sun on his back, during the life of a slave; the smells, and horrors, of battlefields during the crusades.
This book covers a period of 6000 years, and multiple lifetimes. Lifetimes include Simon Peter, a disciple of Jesus; Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor; King Richard, the king of England; Fredrick the Great, the King of Prussia; and Sitting Bull! Other, less known lives, describes lives in Egypt, Babylonia, and Greece. Some of his other experiences were as a slave, a monk, and a World War II fighter pilot.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a very easy read of short chapters, associated with individual lifetimes, and reflections. There were a few lives, I could have gone without knowing, however, that may say more about me, than the book : ). Overall, I liked the first hand historical information, my emotions ranged from laughter to crying. A very emotional Sitting Bull lifetime brought me to tears.
I recommend After the Afterlife to anyone open to expanding their understanding that our “Energy, or Life Force” continues after death. Death is only a transition, a change of clothing.”

“One time I saw a YouTube podcast with Kelvin H. Chin and I couldn’t stop thinking about what was discussed. I saw his new book published and I wanted to read hoping to find inner peace with what awaits us on the other side. I still cannot wrap my head around the concept of past lives, but this book opens the door to looking at us people as eternal beings.
It is a fascinating book; the subject is intriguing. The author describes his memories from previous lives, as he claims 6000 years back. One can ask how it is possible, just read and you will see. There is no religion there, it is just an author’s experience so everyone can read. Despite your belief system, it is a fascinating story to read. What you can take from it is totally up to you.
The book flows very nicely, it is easy to read. You can do it in one sitting. It is easy to understand.
Why read it..?
For me, it is a different perspective of viewing our lives. For receiving peace of knowing that there is much more than this life and what we were taught. That peace surpasses all understanding and gives you freedom.
Give it a try and you will see…Great book.”

“Kelvin Chin, the author, shares his personal experiences with reincarnation, spanning over 6,000 years and two dozen lifetimes. Initially skeptical, Kelvin came to accept and embrace the concept of reincarnation through his personal journey. He recalls past lives as a slave, religious and political leader, a woman, an alien, a monk, a Japanese samurai, a Native American warrior, a World War 2 fighter pilot, and more. Kelvin provides detailed descriptions of his past lives and shares some tools he used to piece together his memories, including emotional and sensory elements and third-party validation. He also shares insights about early Christianity and the importance of individual thought.
Having devoured all three of Kelvin Chin's books, I am deeply impressed by his unflinching openness and fearless candor in tackling the most complex and divisive spiritual issues.”
— Pastor Norris Wilson
“From big somebodies to big nobodies, Kelvin has certainly lived some incredibly interesting lives. Aside from the fascinating first-hand memories you’ll get wrapped up in with this book, what’s most compelling for me is the second to last chapter titled “What’s the Point?” In this chapter Kelvin talks about finding meaning from the memories of his past lives, meaning that is applicable to living his life more fully here and now this lifetime. Regardless of your belief system and whether or not you even believe in past lives, this book is chock-full of vivid stories that are so palpably emotionally conveyed and so rationally examined that they’re sure to keep you entertained and captivated. They may even be the catalyst for some spiritual exploration and growth within yourself if that’s what you’re looking for.”
— Jesse Chin
“Kelvin Chin transports us back in time throughout his past lives. His experiences are historically, culturally, and intellectually stimulating and informative. His short narratives explain how each past life contributes to and enhances his present life. Past lives increase our self-awareness of who and why we become our present selves, our behavior and emotions, and overcoming the fear of death. Kelvin illustrates how we connect with our past lives through dreams, meditations, and experiencing a sensation of our five senses like a smell, a familiar feeling, a thought, or a sound, that connects to a past life. After The Afterlife is a fascinating and unputdownable read! Enjoy!”
— Connie Steinman
“An extremely powerful recollection of the Author Kelvin Chin's memories of his past lives. I enjoyed going on this journey with him. It was mostly emotional for me as all of his memories were explained in such a way that you could experience the feelings and emotions with him. Kelvin is an amazing teacher. A great leader. He is loving, kind and compassionate. Keeping those same traits through all his recollected past lives. After the death of my child this gives me great comfort knowing we continue. In conclusion I highly recommend this book.”
— Lorraine Sisneros
“This is a very interesting book. If you believe in reincarnation, this gives first hand stories of important historical figures, including one of the Apostles. If you don’t believe in reincarnation, it’s a very good historical novel, which may give you a new perspective. I find it interesting how his past life memories came to him, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. It may well trigger past life memories in some readers. Well written and highly recommended.”
— Stokes Dickins
“They say it’s hard to find the answers to some of life’s toughest question like Why are we here? In Kelvin’s newest volume I found myself settling into the idea that he has found a path to those answers. Through discipline to meditation and breath work, Kelvin has unlocked many of his past life experiences and explains how they are relevant today. To anyone curious about these deep questions of our existence, this book is definitely work a read! Thank you Kelvin for your bravery and honesty.”
— Jen Skiver
“I read this book quickly then went back to digest it all. It offers a great snippet of in-depth history of past times in the world, a personal story yet relatable. I have had moments of just knowing that something rings true and now will pay attention to them and investigate them in my life. It is a thought-provoking story that made me think and I like that about this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to challenge themselves from the inner sub conscious energy of your mind or beyond.”
— Nancylou Pinto
“A beyond extraordinary insight into life beyond life. Kelvin Chin‘s recollection of his previous lives answer the question many westerners have wondered for centuries. Like a magnificent delicious meal each chapter will leave you in anticipation for your next fork full of informative knowledge and recognizing the power each of us process through free will as endless living beings. After the After Life, is revolutionary and a catalyst for present and future generations.”
— Ted Ward
“Kelvin's stories about his memories of his past life are truly amazing and remarkable! The fact that a 3rd party had told people in the 70s that Simon Peter was back in this lifetime teaching TM and referenced another of his past lives unbeknownst to Kelvin, I was blown away!!
I finished the book in one sitting, it was that good! I cannot wait to read his other books!! Thank you Kelvin!”
— Matthew Gallella
“Fascinating. A quick read for a long life. How did Saint Peter and Sitting Bull wind up to be some kid in my old neighborhood in Norwood, Massachusetts?
Sure, Kelvin was always at the top of the class all through school, became an Eagle Scout in a year and a half, went on to Dartmouth, Yale, Boston Law and beyond but Marcus Aurelius and Frederick the Great? I'm sure his years spent with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and all the meditation he's done is key to remembering his past lives.
This is an important book. Perhaps enough people will read Kelvin's books and with the help of today's technology Kelvin will be heard worldwide and will be remembered like so many of his past lives.”
