What if…
You were to leave this dimension, experience the “other side,” and return?

How long do you think our contemporary scientific paradigm would continue to exist if the concepts of “life after death,” “reincarnation” and an “immortal spirit” were commonly accepted in our culture? What if the concepts associated with atheistic materialism were thoroughly rejected? Who would believe Darwin’s Theory of Evolution if we all knew that our lives in this dimension were to be followed by another type of life—a more magnificent life? It’s not difficult to imagine the answers to these questions. We can easily see why the “Paradigm Police” would want to do everything possible to disprove the facts associated with near death experiences. The contemporary scientific paradigm cannot survive if we all know that there is much more to existence than what science can measure and quantify. Near death experiences (NDEs) provide the evidence of life after death.

In Anomalies #9, Psychokinesis & Levitation, we quoted a short description of the Jansenist miracles from Michael Talbot’s book, “The Holographic Universe.”
If we go back to this great book for another look we read the following on page 2:

“In 1980, University of Connecticut psychologist Dr. Kenneth Ring proposed that near-death experiences could be explained by the holographic model. Ring, who was president of the International Association for Near-Death Studies, believes such experiences, as well as death itself, are really nothing more than the shifting of a person’s consciousness from one level of the hologram of reality to another.”
There are numerous Internet websites devoted to near death experiences. Some of those I liked are provided in the following links:

• www.nderf.org — NDER (Near Death Experience Research Foundation) is devoted to the study of NDE and support of those experiencing NDE and related experiences.
  
• www.adcrf.org — ADCRF (After Death Communication Research Foundation) is devoted to the study of after death communication and support of those experiencing an ADC, or provides a message of hope to those in grieving from loss of a loved one.
  
• www.oberf.org — OBERF (Out of Body Experience Research Foundation) is devoted to studying the spiritual spectrum events that do not fit into the categories of NDES or ADC. These include NDES-like experiences, out of body experiences, and spiritually transformative events.

The 3 websites listed above have this common statement:
“None of the websites have anything for sale, nor are donations solicited. Part of the reason for this is that the websites are a labor of love. We are here to get the messages of continuing consciousness out to the world. The other reason is that consciousness research is much more credible when there are no commercial interests.”

http://www.near-death.com/ Near Death Experiences and the Afterlife. This website has an index of over three dozen phenomena that provide evidence for survival after death. Some of the listings are:

• People see verifiable events while out-of-body
  
• People born blind can see during a NDE
  
• Scientific discoveries are brought back
  
• People who have a NDE are convinced
  
• NDEs have been validated in scientific discoveries
  
• Quantum physics supports NDE concepts
  
• Analytical psychology was founded on a NDE
  
• Remote viewing is a verifiable reality

This site also has a section devoted to Edgar Cayce’s NDEs and Revelations.

So, dear reader, if you really want to explore this anomalous world we live in, just enter any of the portals listed above. As always, we challenge you to take a fresh look at our changing world.
