“In my life I have found two things of priceless worth - learning and loving. Nothing else - not fame, not power, not achievement for its own sake - can possible have the same lasting value. For when your life is over, if you can say 'I have learned' and 'I have loved,' you will also be able to say 'I have been happy.” - Arthur C. Clarke, Rama II

“Science—the science to which I’ve devoted so much of my
life—doesn’t contradict what I learned up there. But far, far too many
people believe it does, because certain members of the scientific
community, who are pledged to the materialist worldview, have insisted
again and again that science and spirituality cannot coexist.” - Eben Alexander,
Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife
Nearly three decades, tucked away in a box, the manuscript for PMH Atwater's newest book: A Manual for Developing Humans was stored, waiting for a shift in consciousness that created greater receptivity to accessing higher conscious awareness and abilities without the trauma of a NDE mind shift. One of three videos available on YouTube regarding PMH and her current work.
With the help of "The Voice Like None Other" in her newest book, PMH addresses consciousness
on three levels. She cites methods of improving telepathy, time
bending, out of body experiences, intuition, relationships, etc.,
everything PMH
says is considered a basic for being Human.
Some of the fascinating areas of our natural Human abilities are addressed in one of her blog posts. A reader asks about imagination and how to work with the instructions given in the book Future Memory. PMH gives an example of her own process of visualizing and sending herself to another location in order to be present in assisting her daughter through a health challenge and says the new book expands on that topic as well. PMH Atwater's Q & A Blog
PMH says she was instructed to write this book during her
third NDE but when she attempted to publish it, she was advised to hold
off and told the world wasn't quite ready for the message.
Given the
success of her 40 some books on NDEs and her research results from
the four thousand or so who have had a NDE and contributed their account, the
time has finally come.

*Note: PMH cites two incredibly creative sources influenced by NDEs during our interview: 1/Robert Van De Castle - Our Dreaming Mind
2/Marcel Vogel - Legacy of the Crystal Man: NDE at age 6. Told by a voice that he would be a phosphor chemist doing pioneering work in luminescence. And so he did. Source Also from that site:
"In 1969 Marcel gave a course in
creativity for engineers at IBM. It was at this time that he read an article in Argosy
magazine entitled “Do Plants Have Emotions?” about the work of polygraph expert
Cleve Backster, NYTimes, into the responsiveness of plants to human interaction.
Despite
initial rejection of the concept of human-plant communication, he decided to explore these
strange claims. Cleve Baxter Video/YouTube
He was able
to
duplicate the Backster effect of using plants as transducers for
bio-energetic fields that
the human mind releases, demonstrating that plants respond to thought.
He used split
leaf philodendrons connected to a Wheatstone Bridge that would compare a
known resistance to an unknown resistance.
He learned that when he
released his breath slowly
there was virtually no response from the plant. When he pulsed his
breath through
the nostrils, as he held a thought in mind, the plant would respond
dramatically. It
was also found that these fields, linked to the action of breath and
thought, do not have
a significant time domain to them.
The responsiveness of the plants to
thought was
also the same whether eight inches away, eight feet, or eight thousand
miles! Based on the
results of the experiments the inverse square law does not apply to
thought. This
was the beginning of Marcel’s transformation from being a purely
rational scientist
to becoming a spiritual or mystical scientist."
“To experience thinking outside the brain is to enter a world of
instantaneous connections that make ordinary thinking (i.e those aspects
limited by the physical brain and the speed of light) seem like some
hopelessly sleepy and plodding event. Our truest, deepest self is
completely free." - Eben Alexander,
