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

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

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

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

            “There are two ways to be fooled. 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...

The Taboos of Science

Posted by Roberta Grimes • May 18, 2014 • 0 Comment

One of the reasons why it is so essential that mainstream scientists begin to get a clue about the nature of reality is that the truth is so wonderfully explanatory. Human minds are part of eternal Mind, which is the core creative force and the only reality. All of this is as scientific as anything... Read More

I have heard from a number of people about my blog post entitled Physics in Crisis, including someone who asked a question that has been on my mind for awhile. How is it that in the year 2014 nearly everyone pursuing a career in science still insists on building that career on core beliefs that... Read More
