So, here I go again, attempting to write a short post on the iPad, this time spell checking periodically. The smaller keys give me grief, so I must be vigilant.
Last time I tried this, I was attempting to introduce you to a fascinating book I was reading about Near Death Experiences, and Out of Body Experiences (NDE and OBE from now on.) The author is the grand daughter of a distinguished past Prime Minister of Canada, Lester B. Pearson. Her book is definitely NOT a religious book, although the title Opening Heaven's Door"is misleading in that direction. She began her research after her sister had an experience of a visit from her father at the exact time that he was dying in another city.
The book catalogue's a huge list of similar experiences from all over the globe, and gathered in a few dozen research projects. She found that once people knew she was doing this research, they began to tell her stories that they had kept secret for up to 20 years, for fear of people assuming they were insane. Many people reported having visits from long dead relatives, being accompanied on hazardous journies by "third persons" who seemed to be guiding them, and others, who, at death's door, experienced tremendous light and love which encouraged them to regard death as something not to be feared. What is remarkable about all of these stories is the detail with which they are remembered, and how mind-boggling they are. Hard science people refuse to accept her research, because they insist that all consciousness is produced by the brain, and that any supposed consciousness outside the brain is impossible. Ms Pearson points out that this assertion itself is not scientifically pro, butt exists in the ccategory of a commonly aaccepted myth. ((ddouble letters ttht appear in this text are being logged by the iPad and not me.. IIt is printing slower than I am typing, so I suspect charging is needded.. I'll stop and post,, and come back after I recharge.
