Breadcrumbs - Afterlife Books and blogs 

“After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond” (St. Martin’s Essentials), Amazon, March 2, Dr. Bruce Greyson

"5% have had a near death experience and they say it made life worth living." - NYPost

Reviews: "Bridges the gap between science and spirituality with elegance." - Anita Moorjani, bestselling author of Dying to Be Me "

"This book will change the consciousness of many readers in a very positive way." - Pim van Lommel, M.D., author of Consciousness Beyond Life

Checking in with Near Death researchers Ring and Moody -

Waiting to Die is now a book. Amazon.

- Dr. Kenneth Ring’s 'theory is that both near death experiencers and UFO experiencers are able to enter an altered state of consciousness through dissociation. This enables them to enter an objectively real “imaginal realm” or alternate reality in which their unusual experiences take place.' - Blog.

In 1968, Dr. Raymond Moody says he was a sceptic and an atheist. He now considers himself as neither. Why? He says 'after 50 years of investigating near death experiences and hearing from thousands of doctors and patients, he could no longer deny the survival of consciousness.'

Proof of Reincarnation. Interview with Stephane Allix available now in the podcast library. Wendy's Coffeehouse Link.

When I was Someone Else: The Incredible True Story of Past Life Connection, 2021, Amazon.

Stephane is a former war reporter and documentary director, founding member and President of the French Institute of Research on Extraordinary Experiences (INREES)

We talk about his past life journey but I was also curious about his connection to John Mack after I saw the Experiencers documentary [by Stephane Allix] about Alien Abductions listed among the titles posted on the John E Mack Institute site.

What happened to Stephane in the Amazon was definitely a jump start from spirit. Not one to trust his own inner guidance, the entire journey was an exercise in developing trust and discernment.

For substantiating evidence, the book includes photos, maps and historical documents. Details are cross referenced for dates and locations to track the movements of the soldiers and locate the finale resting place.

If the photo resemblance is remarkable and the documentation irrefutable, being accepted by the relatives was the deciding factor. He passed that test.

There are multiple synchronicities in connecting the dots to unfold the timeline suggesting assistance from an unseen source. When the pastlife aspect of the soul found an outlet to address a deep seeded wound, healing resulted on both timelines, allowing the aspect of soul that is the present incarnation to progress without further impediment.

Stephane is continuing to explore the topic of consciousness and extraordinary knowing. No doubt, more will be revealed.

"If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop." - Kurt Cobain

"Monk" Magazine, October 1992. 

More quotes from Kurt. Source.

Best of: "You do learn things and one of them is that happiness has nothing to do with validation from other people, the important thing is being happy with yourself ... finding something that is important to you and sticking with it no matter what anyone says. The truth is you've got to really be tough because there are all kinds of forces that are always trying to get you to do things their way ... trying to tell you that you are throwing your life away if you don't follow their advice."  

Cheers!

“Ours is the first age in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made it a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind.” - Marshall McLuhan, The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man, The Mechanical Bride, Marshall McLuhan Estate




How did I get to the above info? Twitter: I follow Callum Cooper, Telephone Calls from the Dead/Amazon, and did a quick search to follow his latest activities. 

That led to a long read he had bookmarked on StrangeHistory: The Earliest Telephone Call from the Dead. Found more than one item of interest in that piece, including this one: source. Another referenced a book called, The Automaton Ear.

Curious, I searched and came up with this post on books, NYTimes, detailing the fascinating story of Marshall McLuhan and that review opened up several important issues -

Example: In "Understanding Media," McLuhan suggests that electric modes of communication--telegraph, radio, television, movies, telephones, computers--are similarly reshaping civilization in the 20th century. Whereas print-age man saw one thing at a time in consecutive sequence--like a line of type--contemporary man experiences numerous forces of communication simultaneously, often through more than one of his senses.

"All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perception and arbitrary values."  - Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media, 1964

• Wired: Why McCluhan Matters 
• On the 2017 (upcoming) CBC 7/28/17 Broadcast: Globe and Mail 
• The Guardian: Douglas Coupland on McCluhan: "It's cliche at this point, but if McLuhan is known for anything it's "The medium is the message." MIT.pdf. But I wondered what happens when the message doesn't matter, or, as we're seeing it, what happens when people don't care if the message is a lie?"

Knowing vs. understanding. Def: Philosophy. It would seem there is a huge level of Tech Blindness in our ability to discern knowing and understanding regarding the subtle and pervasive influence of Media beyond use as a sales tool (in all forms). 

- Suggest Social Media Under-the-Influence-Ignorance Danger Zone now sits at a Yellow Tango level. Stepping on toes is part of the scene. Stopping is an option. Music stops. No harm, no foul.

- When and If this engagement morphs to Social Media Under-the-Influence-Ignorance Bull Fight Red level, music is irrelevant. Conditionally enraged Bull's sole purpose is take down. No discussion, no argument. Dancer in fight garb has not been trained as he considered the Bull a source of entertainment until the door opened to the ring.

Odds are, the game is not what it seems. 

McCluhan's bread crumbs? Learn about media in multiple forms and the purpose behind it: to engage energy (to shift behavior/emotion). In his words, "By knowing how technology shapes our environment, we can transcend its absolutely determining power."

The good fortune for HI (Human Intelligence). All things are possible.

Phone calls from the Dead? McCluhan died in 1980 but he foresaw the issues now front and center in our timeline. How interesting the Medium fueled an information redirect via Twitter.


Tangential association: Callum Cooper also authored Conversations with Ghosts, about acclaimed Psychic Alex Tanous.

Shortly after reading that book, I had a visionary encounter. Took me by surprise but I had no doubt about the identity of the person who came walking toward me with a long stride and sense of direct purpose. Dressed in black, he had the distinctive mustache and a very deliberate gaze. It seemed he had something to give me and I automatically held out my hands. He smiled and, making no attempt to speak, handed me two items.

Ever-present, manifesting in each and every thought.   

I don't remember the position at the moment but, in one hand he gave me a wrapped present. White paper with a red bow.

In the other hand he gave me a celery heart with the beginning stalk just starting to bloom. I realized later that was an image I posted as an icon a few years ago and had photographed while trying to start celery from the leftover celery heart.

He turned and went back to a dark colored car that I cannot describe because it happened too fast.

My interpretation. The future is in our hands. What we do with the present is up to us. Manifesting our creation with each and every breath, we are capable of so much more than has yet been acknowledged. Our minds are endowed with extraordinary potential. Ref: Ingo Swann - Super Powers of the Human Biomind

Learning to work with and upgrade conscious knowing and intended thought in the present state is the challenge. To avoid recreating a past, escape the seductive embrace of the nostalgic and envision a solid and fully fleshed out (Utopian) future. Sci-Fi has been enthusiastically seeding this area (toying with dark and light aspects) for decades and the results are evident. Level up!
