Willful Scientific Blindness

Posted by Roberta Grimes • August 04, 2014 • 2 Comments

A few weeks ago I talked about some of the ways in which the fact that mainstream science has ignored the afterlife evidence has made scientists unable to understand some seemingly unrelated things. When you arbitrarily choose to ignore all evidence related to a major aspect of reality, then naturally your understanding of the rest... 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

Reading Jesus in Light of the Afterlife Evidence

Posted by Roberta Grimes • June 16, 2014 • 5 Comments

           The afterlife evidence and the Gospels agree so closely in so many details – some of them very small details – that we can prove now that Jesus did in fact come to us two thousand years ago with knowledge that could have come only from God. And that is big news! But since... Read More

Walking the Talk

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

Doing Science

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

Physics in Crisis

Posted by Roberta Grimes • May 05, 2014 • 2 Comments

One of my vices is popular science magazines, and I especially love Scientific American. It’s full of articles that are candy for the mind, luscious insights you might never use but you feel better equipped for life by knowing them. I began reading my favorite magazine a decade ago, as I was trying to puzzle... Read More

Why Bad Things Happen to Good People

Posted by Roberta Grimes • April 19, 2014 • 0 Comment

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

Historical Revisionism

Posted by Roberta Grimes • April 05, 2014 • 0 Comment

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...

It’s About Time

Posted by Roberta Grimes • March 31, 2014 • 2 Comments

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
