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

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

My mother married my father because she was pregnant. As an adult I thanked her for having gone ahead with the pregnancy and given me life, and she said, “You’re assuming I had a choice?” So I must admit to sharing the core aversion that many people have to abortion, but I am not avidly...

One of the questions that the afterlife evidence answers for us has long been a stumper. Why do bad things happen to good people? Atheists sometimes use the question as proof that there can be no loving God, while even those who are very religious will sometimes fret and question their beliefs as they try... Read More

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...

Part of the fun of doing afterlife research is the fact that as you put together many hundreds of afterlife communications received over nearly two centuries, you find that the dead are telling us remarkable things about the structure of reality itself. The dead tell us that reality is energy-based. There is pretty strong evidence... Read More

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

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

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...

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
