About the Author

Epstein, Gerald: - Gerald Epstein, MD (1935-2019) was a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine and a leading expert in the therapeutic use of mental imagery for healing physical and emotional ailments. Initially trained as a Freudian analyst, he shifted his focus in 1974 to study under Mme. Colette Aboulker-Muscat, becoming a major catalyst in using the Western spiritual tradition in healing. Dr. Jerry (as he was affectionately known) directed The American Institute for Mental Imagery (AIMI) in New York City until his death in 2019. There, he facilitated group practices, trained healthcare professionals, and taught courses on the Gerald Epstein Medical System (GEMS), a therapeutic treatment that uses one's inner wisdom to balance and repair mind, body, and spirit. In addition to his teachings and private practice, Dr. Jerry authored numerous books and audios, including the seminal Healing Visualizations: Creating Health through Imagery and Encyclopedia of Mental Imagery: Colette Aboulker-Muscat's 2,100 Visualization Exercises for Personal Development, Healing, and Self-Knowledge.
Epstein, Rachel: - Rachel Epstein, J.D., L.Ac., is co-founder and director of the American Institute for Mental Imagery (AIMI) in New York City and is a holistic health coach. With over 30 years of experience, Rachel helps clients heal from physical illness and emotional trauma. She teaches the core GEMS (Gerald Epstein Medical System) curriculum and is Editor-in-Chief of ACMI Press. As AIMI's academic director, Rachel continues to evolve the core curriculum to meet the current needs of human transformation and personal development. She received her training in mental imagery from internationally recognized authorities Mme. Colette Aboulker-Muscat and Dr. Gerald Epstein, her late husband and co-author. In addition to We Are Not Meant to Die, Rachel co-authored Reversing the Trauma of War: PTSD Help for Veterans, Active-Duty Personnel and Their Families (2019), and edited seven major works on mental imagery, healing, and the Western spiritual tradition.

Praise for this book

We Are Not Meant to Die is an innovative and practical guide for health optimization and a major contribution to the science of longevity. Within its pages, you will find the keys to optimizing your health, managing stress, and choosing life. - Kenneth R Pelletier, PhD, MD author of Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer

Gerald Epstein's teachings have always been, and will always be a safe path to healing, integration, and wholeness for anyone, regardless of their religion or belief system. - Paul Chek, Chek Institute

Gerald and Rachel Epstein have created a masterpiece. They have brought the ancient holistic spiritual practice of mental imagery into our modern world. It is a must-read for anyone wanting to deepen their spiritual growth, heal their physical and emotional issues, open their hearts, and prepare their souls for transformation and freedom. - Penny Price Lavin, filmmaker of The Healing Field: Exploring Energy & Consciousness

Dr Gerald Epstein poses the question: Have we been programmed to believe that death is inevitable? He reminds us that longevity is a healing process, an alignment to the true ecology of God's dream that allows our bodies to live longer, healthier lives. - Catherine Shainberg, PhD, author of Kabbalah of Light

In these pages, you'll discover Dr Jerry Epstein's rare gift of alchemy, transforming complex ideas into illuminating insights, delivered with his characteristic warmth, wisdom, and humor. He weaves both the practical and esoteric elements of life into a coherent, vibrant whole. - Randy Kasper PhD, LCSW, Professor, California State University.

Dr Jerry Epstein was probably the wisest man we have ever known, always pushed the boundaries of ultimate truth in his work and in his writings. As science gets closer and closer to understanding the mechanics of death from "natural causes," the suspicion arises that perhaps the story of Methuselah living for nine hundred plus years may one day soon join the many other biblical stories once thought to be mythical or allegorical but found to be true. - Amy Zerner & Monte Farber, authors of The Intuition Oracle

This final book is an exceptional synthesis - and evolution - that lays out piece-by-piece Western spiritual healing practices. Despite its complex material, it is simple and easy to read. - Oleg Reznik, MD, Author of Mystical Poetry of Colette Aboulker-Muscat and Reflections of Her Student

In this book, Dr. Jerry Epstein, a Jewish mystic teacher, offers a very profound and radical idea that we do not need to die if we embrace the life force of spiritual light from within. Whether or not you believe you are going to die, you will learn a great deal from Dr. Jerry's wisdom. - Alan Levin, LSW, author of Crossing the Boundary
