COMMENTARY: crossing over – the death
of the physical body and the survival of the self:
Why is it that in our society, the most critical event
in our lifetime – crossing over to the afterlife –
is a taboo subject for discussion? We avoid talking about
death of the physical body – as if it is not going
to happen. People find it impolite to discuss death socially.
Yet death of the physical body is inevitable. We have no
say in it. It will happen.
Wouldn’t you like to know whether the afterlife exists
– and if you will ever meet your loved ones again?
And what you will be doing in the afterlife?
Many accept that for some 2,000 years religious beliefs,
values, tradition and history have become entrenched in
our society and these have programmed us unconsciously to
perceive the world in a particular way not necessarily consistent
with empirical findings about the afterlife.
Informed people know that religious beliefs are no guarantee
of the truth. This is because intelligent informed people
observe that around the world there are many different and
inconsistent religious beliefs about the afterlife.
When a belief is unsupported by science, the belief could
be completely invalid. These days repeatable empirical psi
experiments are modifying entrenched theology. But this
will take time to filter into the collective unconscious.
Highly credible people, including scientists, empiricists
(empiricism= using strict scientific method to measure afterlife,
paranormal and other phenomena), doctors and lawyers say
that whilst the physical body will die – and can be
burnt like an old coat, the etheric (spiritual body) will,
with absolute certainty, live on for an indefinite period
of time. This information is empirical - and comes from
empirically tested mediums. Also this information is consistent
with all afterlife claims from most countries in the world
to-day.
Further, this information has nothing to do with beliefs,
it has to do with afterlife physics - the afterlife vibrations
spinning faster than on physical earth. (More about this
see Chapter 6 Einstein's
E=mc2 and materialization.
In the last decades, something quite dramatic has occurred.
The study of the afterlife has been taken over by scientists
and empiricists. Death is no longer the exclusive jurisdiction
of the churches, of religion, of beliefs and has absolutely
nothing to do with superstition or guesswork.
Point of clarification: a couple of critics have stated
that some intelligent scientist-debunkers do not accept
the afterlife. I state that there is no link at all between
high intelligence and objectivity. This means that a highly
intelligent scientist who did not investigate the objective
evidence for the afterlife is likely to retain his/her negative
prejudices.
Further, emotions can over-ride empirical results when
the emotions are deeply entrenched. One high profile closed-minded,
anti-paranormal psychologist (a member of those East Side
closed minded skeptical Debunkers' Group) in the United
States confessed to another high profile psychologist, "I
have no control over my beliefs" - conceding that
his emotions controlled his beliefs - instead of he controlling
his emotions and beliefs.
Of course, there would be other psychological problems
for a psychologist who invested his lifetime denying the
afterlife exists. His status would crumble. His funding
would be reduced or stopped. Most of his colleagues would
dump him. His career would suffer. The media would ignore
him. So he takes the line of least resistance, staying where
he is and continuing to deny the existence of the afterlife.
When science takes over the study of the afterlife, we
are guaranteed that the results of the experiments will
give us great confidence in understanding and accepting
the afterlife. That is progress. Progress because thinking
people around the world no longer want to believe without
evidence.
Most critical, is that scientists and empiricists have
objective authority to support their conclusions about the
afterlife. Theology, religious or other beliefs do
NOT have any objective authority at all about anything they
state about the afterlife. In any inconsistency between
objective (empirical) authority and subjective (personal
religious beliefs), inevitably the objective authority prevails
and inevitably, will always prevail.
While religious people usually believe (but without evidence)
that there is an afterlife they have no idea what the afterlife
is like. Because there is nothing fundamental in the religious
writings about what actually happens from the time one crosses
over except you either go to heaven or hell or purgatory
(for the Catholics) or you get stuck underground until Jesus
comes to judge the living and the dead. Most people are
not accepting this Church's view of the afterlife.
Now we find that religious leaders are reading the information
transmitted from the afterlife dimension. That’s good.
That's sensible. That’s excellent, because now their
theology will be modified to make it consistent with the
empirical results about the afterlife.
Those who accept the afterlife physics would also accept
that religious acitivites such as baptism, confession and
death religious servics are totally irrelevant to what will
happen to you when you cross over. This is because of the
physics' energy Law of Cause and Effect - does not support
or validate baptism and confession - and no one on earth,
no priest, no Rabbi, no Mullah or any other allegedly 'holy'
person has any power to modify the Law of Cause and Effect.
Empiricists, scientists and others who are NOT religious
from around the world have demonstrated that the afterlife
exists – to them it is not a question of belief, not
a question of religion, it is a question of ACCEPTING the
EVIDENCE. Some of these empiricists do not even believe
in any form of religion or superstition – some of
them do not even believe in the theological, personal ‘God.’
That’s their prerogative. See Chapter
2 of the BOOK.
Empiricists say: “We do NOT have the luxury of subjectivity,
of beliefs, of religion, of superstition or faith …we
are scientists, hard core empiricists.”
Now, the negatively prejudiced debunker, one who does not
believe there is an afterlife or in the paranormal –
that person does NOT have any evidence at all that there
is no afterlife. He/she will state words to the effect,
“Ah, well, it is not up to me to prove anything …I
don’t have to prove the negative.”
THAT is a cop-out. Why? Because first, the debunker has
to show that there is NO evidence for the afterlife. No
debunker, no scientist, no skeptic has not done that. No
closed minded skeptic, no scientist or empiricist or anybody
else has ever shown that the afterlife does not or cannot
exist. Secondly, the debunker has to show, empirically,
WHY the existing afterlife evidence ought not be accepted.
THAT has NOT been done either.
Experience shows that there will never be enough hard core
empirical objective evidence for the stubborn closed-minded
skeptic if the closed minded skeptic does not want to accept
any of the objective evidence.
Technically, a debunker really is a ‘believer’
when the debunker believes in something the debunker cannot
validate or prove. We know that any belief - unless
it it supported by science or empiricism - is subject to
complete invalidation.
Procedurally then, the onus shifts onto the closed minded
debunkers to show why the evidence ought not be
accepted. Up until now, this has NOT been done! This is
the situation to-day. That is why more people to day are
accepting the afterlife and the paranormal than ever before.
People intuitively want to know what is going to happen
when they die. We now know what is going to happen because
of science, of empiricism - NOT because of any religious
writings which say nothing about the afterlife conditions.
I re-state, that physical death is inevitable, inescapable
and unavoidable. The 'open minded' skeptic has enough evidence
to accept that life goes on after physical death.
The good news is that we will meet our loved ones again.
There is also some bad news for those who are consistently
cruel or spiteful or vindictive and/or selfish. They could
be in for some very serious problems for when they cross
over – they may not reach the realm of the light.
But average open-minded decent folk have nothing to worry
about because beliefs are not critical on crossing over.
The afterlife is a world we all should know about –
especially what happens when we die: go to BOOK chapter
27.
