    I can really relate to the stumbling part.

    If we’re not meant to know, why are some people (or many) confronted with these greater reality experiences? Experiences that, it would seem, are designed to provoke lifelong questioning. Is it just an accident when a person sees a UFO, or a ghost, or has an NDE? I don’t think so. Whatever it...

    I recall some of Michael Newton’s patients describing death as easy, reporting that their souls were pulled from their bodies moments before a painful death. Surely that’s a very comforting thought. But, if true, then wouldn’t the lesson/karma of a painful death be lost? And what is animating...

    Someone once suggested that the NDE realm is just another simulation and that the being encountered (let’s say a deceased loved one) is actually the larger consciousness system playing that role, to comfort you during your transition. This facsimile is necessary because the soul of your dearly...

    If Earth is a level of school for souls (let’s call it grade 2), an individual who matures enough will leave to go to grade 3. Older souls keep leaving and fresh batches of grade 2s keep arriving. If the analogy is correct, we’ll never have a heavenly Earth. In the same way that a grade 2...

    That’s an interesting point. I must admit to being caught up in the ‘what is the purpose’ question. A good reminder to think bigger. Thanks.

    I’m not too troubled. I’m mostly disappointed. And I would also strongly advise people not to watch stuff like that. Once was more than enough for me. A point I was hoping to make, is that it’s easier to believe in some higher purpose whilst the evil things are only heard of and not seen...

    During this podcast, hellish experiences, either during an NDE or whilst living in this world, were likened to “watching a scary movie”. The suggestion being that bad times are necessary for our growth, and are only temporary illusions anyway. I feel this could be right. However, I recently...

    “We probably should have also mentioned that while hellish experiences tend to be very unpleasant in the beginning, over time, as people strive to understand and integrate them, they turn out to be deeply positive and transformative.” I must agree. I could describe my childhood as hellish, but...

    I also have trouble with the G word, and soul. Far too religious for me. Despite his drawbacks, Tom Cambell's theory gave me names like Absolute Unbounded Manifold and Individuated Unit of Consciousness. Although a tad wordy, they helped to remove a stumbling block and set me on my way once...

    A Uri Geller Story About 27 years ago, I was a teenager coming to terms with numerous and diverse greater reality experiences. An aunt suggested I meet her friend who had gone through something similar, and she set up a lunch. The night before the meeting, I felt compelled to draw a triangle...

    I quite like Strieber's idea that it's not meant to make sense, that all of the conflicting experiences and unanswerable questions, whilst frustrating us, force us to evolve. Or maybe Tom Cambell is onto something with his Psi Uncertainty Principle?
