One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”– Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard Having spent decades studying more than 150 years of abundant and consistent communications from the dead, it astonishes me to see how hard people who...

Christopher Columbus once ordered the simultaneous burning alive of a hundred Native American tribal leaders. The historian who mentioned this in a History Channel program awhile back tried to soften the shock of it by noting that “the fifteenth century was a barbaric age.” There was a time when I would have shuddered and changed...
