Your Mind is Eternal

Posted by Roberta Grimes • August 10, 2014 • 3 Comments

The greatest discovery in all of human history was expounded by quantum physicist Max Planck in the early part of the twentieth century. I am told that he wasn’t the first to put it forth, but his experiments demonstrated it so conclusively that he was frank to say it aloud. Sadly, he was altogether ignored.... Read More

Willful Scientific Blindness

Posted by Roberta Grimes • August 04, 2014 • 2 Comments

A few weeks ago I talked about some of the ways in which the fact that mainstream science has ignored the afterlife evidence has made scientists unable to understand some seemingly unrelated things. When you arbitrarily choose to ignore all evidence related to a major aspect of reality, then naturally your understanding of the rest... Read More

What It’s Like to Witness a Death

Posted by Roberta Grimes • July 29, 2014 • 12 Comments

Having talked last week about how it feels to die, let’s consider now the experience of being at the bedside of someone you love who is about to embark on that universal journey. Of course, some deaths are going to feel tragic. People who die unexpectedly or out of generational order are likely to distress... Read More

How it Feels to Die

Posted by Roberta Grimes • July 22, 2014 • 34 Comments

Every one of us is going to die. Yet our culture offers no real preparation for this universal human experience, and few of us have much understanding of the actual death process. You will be relieved to know that the afterlife evidence overwhelmingly suggests that for most of us a well-conducted death can be the... Read More

Jefferson, Asperger’s, and Race

Posted by Roberta Grimes • July 15, 2014 • 0 Comment

My husband of forty-two years is a high-functioning Asperger’s person. Asperger’s Syndrome is a disorder on the autism spectrum whose sufferers tend to be very bright but often have trouble relating to others. A book published in 2000 called Diagnosing Jefferson makes a compelling case that our third president was another extraordinary man whose blessing... Read More

The Sally Hemings Question

Posted by Roberta Grimes • July 07, 2014 • 0 Comment

It doesn’t matter to me who fathered Sally Hemings’s children. Seeing how devastated Thomas Jefferson was by the death of his wife at thirty-three, at one time I even thought that if he had managed to find a new love later in life, that was fine and none of us had the right to judge... Read More

Mainstream Science is Off the Rails

Posted by Roberta Grimes • June 28, 2014 • 4 Comments

I love popular science magazines. Scientific American is my favorite, but Discover, NewScientist, and Science News also are immensely entertaining. I began reading popular science a couple of decades ago as I tried to puzzle out the physics of the realities into which we graduate at death. What I learned was that many of the... Read More

Psychic Mediums

Posted by Roberta Grimes • June 23, 2014 • 0 Comment

Most afterlife researchers are skeptics. We have found tantalizing parts of one gigantic truth, and since we know that the rest of it still must be out there, we won’t settle for less. So I have a confession to make. For decades I was skeptical that most psychic mediums actually were in contact with the... Read More

Reading Jesus in Light of the Afterlife Evidence

Posted by Roberta Grimes • June 16, 2014 • 5 Comments

           The afterlife evidence and the Gospels agree so closely in so many details – some of them very small details – that we can prove now that Jesus did in fact come to us two thousand years ago with knowledge that could have come only from God. And that is big news! But since... Read More

Walking the Talk

Posted by Roberta Grimes • June 08, 2014 • 0 Comment

My journey away from mainstream Christianity and toward following the teachings of Jesus has been lifelong. Having had two experiences of light in childhood, I was always certain that God is real. But Christianity troubled me more and more as I read communications from the dead and came to understand ever more clearly that the... Read More
