When Scientists Had Open Minds

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

One of the things that astounds me as I continue to study the afterlife is that there is so much evidence of what is going on, it is so widely available and so consistent, it melds so perfectly with mainstream scientific discoveries, it helps to explain so much… but still nearly all scientists want nothing...

Finding Angels

Posted by Roberta Grimes • March 08, 2014 • 1 Comment

One of the best things about my adventures in afterlife research has been the extraordinary people I have met. There is a small group of brilliant folks worldwide who have devoted themselves to trying to understand death, the afterlife, and the nature of reality, and my joy since publishing The Fun of Dying has been...

Listening to Imperator

Posted by Roberta Grimes • February 26, 2014 • 0 Comment

Having mentioned William Stainton Moses last week, I can’t resist sharing with you some thoughts about Imperator, who was the leading spirit to communicate with Moses and the core author of an extraordinary nineteenth-century book called Spirit Teachings. In general, the century from about 1840 until 1940 was a heyday of frequent, comprehensive, and often... Read More

Skeptics and Debunkers

Posted by Roberta Grimes • February 17, 2014 • 0 Comment

Anyone who has done much afterlife research has encountered the work of skeptics and debunkers. Honest skeptics have contributed tremendously to the advancement of our understanding, but sadly most of those who claim to be writing as skeptics are just debunkers. You cannot learn a thing from a debunker, so it will be important that... Read More

Is Civilization the Problem?

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

When it first occurred to me that civilization might be the problem rather than the solution, I chuckled at my own silliness. It was the 1970s. After having just lived through the turmoil of the sixties, I was feeling that we had gone-off track, and my little thought-experiment in living without the trappings of civilization... Read More

Signs From the Dead

Posted by Roberta Grimes • February 02, 2014 • 51 Comments

Our growing understanding of how reality is structured makes us realize how near the dead are to us. They are right here! We’re told that there are something like eight primary levels of energy-based reality, separated from one another by their rates of vibration, and all of them are exactly where we are. But far...

Thomas Jefferson and Slavery

Posted by Roberta Grimes • January 25, 2014 • 0 Comment

Cultural realities shape our lives in ways that become so ingrained that we often don’t see evils for the evils they are. When you and I look around, we can see lots of things about present-day America that are likely to appall our descendants, from overstuffed prisons and third-trimester abortions to vast disparities in wealth...

Writing Your First Novel

Posted by Roberta Grimes • January 19, 2014 • 0 Comment

As I was preparing to republish My Thomas and publish the first two of the Letters From Love novels, I had to “come out” to my legal clients and to friends who had never known me as a writer. Especially with people who had long known me as their business attorney, I had some strange... Read More

Imagine

Posted by Roberta Grimes • January 11, 2014 • 0 Comment

I never was a Beatles fan. I found their early stuff unappealing, and as soon as I began to appreciate them Paul went and married Linda and broke my heart. Every girl I knew had a favorite Beatle, and the one you chose told us who you were: Paul appealed to the romantics, Ringo to... Read More
