One of the questions I am asked when I speak about The Fun of Dying and The Fun of Staying in Touch is whether we can have post-death sex. After all, the whole area of sexual relations is so important to our earthly lives. Isn’t it central to who we are? I think it’s... Read More

The question of future human evolution has been faddish among popular-science types. Some argue that human evolution is at an end because our culture and our ease of travel make further natural selection impossible. Others, though, see us likely evolving in ways that will radically extend our earth-lives, including perhaps fertility into our eighties, interfacing... Read More

After two experiences of light in childhood, naturally I was an ardent Christian. Having married a Catholic, I was a Catholic Christian, a Catechism teacher, a Lector, and such a devoted daily reader of the Bible that I have read it cover-to-cover at least a dozen times. Each time I got to the final page... Read More

One of the things that is most certain about the afterlife evidence is what it tells us is the reason why we even are alive at all. Why are we here? What is human life for? The very fact that there exists such an exquisite and gloriously planned afterlife for each of the seven billion... Read More

The greatest discovery in all of human history was expounded by quantum physicist Max Planck in the early part of the twentieth century. I am told that he wasn’t the first to put it forth, but his experiments demonstrated it so conclusively that he was frank to say it aloud. Sadly, he was altogether ignored.... Read More

Having talked last week about how it feels to die, let’s consider now the experience of being at the bedside of someone you love who is about to embark on that universal journey. Of course, some deaths are going to feel tragic. People who die unexpectedly or out of generational order are likely to distress... Read More

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
