Continuing to Believe the Unbelievable

Posted by Roberta Grimes • September 12, 2015 • 31 Comments

I have just read the most foolish bit of nonsense that I ever have seen in Scientific American.

One area about which the afterlife evidence gives us fascinating hints is the whole field of extraterrestrial life. I haven’t followed up on any of this evidence. To be frank, I haven’t wanted to know! So when I was recently told that one of my dearest friends has Arcturian spirit guides, I was brought up... Read More

A friend of mine has sent me an extraordinary interview with Lother Schafer, a quantum physicist who has more than a clue about what actually is going on. His Infinite Potential: What Quantum Physics Reveals About How We Should Live (2013) is a deeply remarkable book. Dr. Schafer has arrived at precisely the same set of... Read More

Slavery, Abortion, and Cecil

Long before I knew that my primary spirit guide had once been Thomas Jefferson, I loved the man. My 1993 Doubleday novel, My Thomas, was written from the adoring viewpoint of his wife. And before I could write so tenderly about someone who had been a slaveholder, I had to do research and satisfy myself... Read More

Faith Versus Fact

Posted by Roberta Grimes • July 13, 2015 • 11 Comments

The most important thing for us to understand about the spurious battle between Christianity and science is that it is a battle that neither can win because neither of them is the open-minded pursuit of the truth. Both Christianity and modern mainstream science are belief-systems. And if you look at only what you want to... Read More

By Their Fruit You Will Recognize Them

Posted by Roberta Grimes • June 06, 2015 • 10 Comments

Jesus in the Gospels warns us that wrong religious teachings can be recognized by the evils they bring. He says: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every...

Not long ago while stopped in traffic I noticed that the driver of the truck ahead had adamant religious views. His bumper stickers, plastered high on the back of the truck so they would not be missed, read, “If you’re living as if there is no God you had better hope you’re right!” And, “If... Read More

Consciousness Does Not Compute

Posted by Roberta Grimes • May 15, 2015 • 10 Comments

Even a decade and a half into the twenty-first century, mainstream scientists still insist that consciousness has to come from the brain.  But your consciousness is not generated by your brain. We have discussed elsewhere the many reasons why you can be certain... Read More
