To be a student of the greater reality is to be sitting in sunlight at the top of a mountain, talking with all the joyous people who also have managed to make this climb as we look out wistfully over the clouds that keep in darkness the whole world below. We’ve been sitting up here... 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

A frustrating but still amusing hobby is watching scientists who are bound by a “fundamental dogma” of atheistic materialism continue to stumble toward a consciousness-based understanding of reality… by exhausting every other possible theory. Some readers of this blog have reproached me for being too hard on mainstream science. How is it possible that universities... Read More

To be a physicist in the early twenty-first century looks like the most frustrating job in the universe. I say this because being even a devoted physics groupie reading popular-science versions of what physicists are up to now feels mind-shriveling. I will give you some quick examples from the recent press: Apparently the Big Bang,... Read More

As a follow up to last week’s post about the wonderful Rupert Sheldrake and his pioneering work in studying aspects of consciousness, I’m going to offer you another great TED talk that was delivered by Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist David Chalmers in 2014. Chalmers shares with us here some extraordinary insights about consciousness. And... Read More

An amazing debate continues to rage in the scientific community. Do we, or do we not, have free will? Experiments indicate that our brains become active and we start the process of moving our bodies before we make the decision to move, which troubling fact has led many researchers to conclude that our apparent free...

To watch mainstream scientists flounder in their attempts to understand human consciousness used to be pass-the-popcorn time. You could see that they were missing the Big Picture, but you figured that if they took sufficient wrong turns eventually they would stumble upon the truth. Law of averages. Just made sense. They couldn’t insistent on being... Read More

I had thought we needed a break this week from dealing with scientific dead-ends, so I was going to talk about sex in the afterlife. You would be surprised to know how often I am asked that question! But I have been accumulating links toward a future post on scientific breakthroughs, and now seems... Read More

William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347) was an English Franciscan friar who is famous even today for having devised a problem-solving technique that scientists now honor mostly in the breach: Occam’s razor. Occam’s razor states that when there are competing hypotheses, the one that requires that we made the fewest assumptions should be selected. Or in... Read More

One of the primary indications that what the dead have been telling us is true is the fact that the study of the afterlife turns out to be giving us a whole new physics. It isn’t about death at all. Instead, it is the next stage of quantum physics, the end toward which medical practice... Read More
