A Crazy Little Thing Called 'Life'

A Crazy Little Thing Called 'Life'

Your visions will become clear
only when you can look into your
own heart. Who looks outside,

ho looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung


"Those who assert there is no evidence of extended consciousness beyond this reality are willfully ignorant."
 -Dr. Eben Alexander


Those who doubt the reality of existence beyond the human form have not the foggiest notion of who they are and where they came from. Conventional science even acknowledges that over 90% of the 'known' universe consists of 'dark matter and energy'. It would be extremely ignorant of us to think that nothing of intelligence exists within this 'space.'

 Unfortunately, our limited scientific view of the world leaves for much skepticism in the notion that the mechanism of consciousness emanates from beyond the confines of the physical human being and is the fundamental basis of all that exists in a complex universe. 


"Truth passes through three phases: First it is ridiculed...Second it is fiercely and violently opposed. Third, it becomes self-evident.Author in Source Title
- Arthur Schopenhauer


 To grow and evolve our conscious awareness to that of the transcendental elements that move us beyond what we currently know of quantum physics, we need to expand our limited view of what we have long considered reality.

Our focus on power as external has seduced us into thinking that the material 'scientific world' is all that exists of reality. We have forgotten what was once known to us as our souls journey into physicality as a means of understanding the reality of our existence and the true nature of who we are. We cannot know light without having spent some time 'in the dark.'

We are beginning to 'tap' a new frontier of holistic science that brings us in touch with an informational field of trans-dimensional reality...Perhaps there we can recover our true sense of self and remember who we are and that our consciousness survives beyond the point of physical death.

 

"A man should look for what IS, and not for what he thinks should be."
Albert EinsteinAuthor in Source Title

Whatever struggles we face in our physical existence here are the just stepping stones we encounter along the way to bringing us ever closer to communion with something far greater than our individual selves.

 We have been given an opportunity to participate in something truly astounding...And that is to become fully manifest in a world made up of our conscious thoughts, ideas and emotions and remember that we are just visitors here in this crazy little thing called 'life.'


"Dr. Alexander's near death experience is the most astounding I have heard in decades of studying this phenomenon. He is living proof of an afterlife."
-Raymond A. Moody, Jr., M.D. Ph. D.Author in Source Title


The following video is the remarkable story of academic neurosurgeon Eben Alexander M.D., who back in 2008 made a miraculous recovery from the gram negative bacterial meningitis that plunged him into deep coma and nearly took his life.

The part of his brain that controls thought and emotion had shut down completely as he lay in critical condition, during which time Dr. Alexander had journeyed into the deepest realms of 'meta-physical' existence 

Seven days later, he spontaneously emerged from deep coma and made a complete recovery. And much to the astonishment of his family and doctors, he remembered with great clarity the details of his internal journey...His story is so revolutionary, those of all faiths and science will find it difficult to ignore. I hope you find him as fascinating as I do...

Cyndi wilkins Cyndi~ I appreciate your thoughtful response And agree with your well chosen words about atheism "hard-hearted" is the key /our heart-attitude is the most shaping factor in life. I have been thoughtfully writing over the last several weeks on unbelief & doubt - (which includes mockers & naysayers) It is such a an important issue that I approach it prayerfully because I do not want to "offend" or push people away from heart-examination and challenging thinking that way be robbing their life. God bless you back ;~)

Thank you kindly for your beautiful comment Fay...and for committing your precious time to watching the video. I have read many accounts of NDE, but few as compelling as this one...especially as it is being shared by a 'hard-nosed science guy' who admits to formerly believing NDE to be a 'brain based' fantasy. You are very correct in stating it is absolutely no coincidence a neuro-surgeon with better than average intelligence would experience the 'perfect storm' of events and understand the implications of the 'medical impossibility' of it. The reality that unfolded for him was even though his neocortex was completely 'off line' he experienced a world of consciousness that existed completely free of the limitations of his physical brain. I found Lee Strobel's 'Case of The Christ' extraordinarily engaging...IMHO, the most profound and respectfully presented investigation on a very well established historical fact...Especially in light of his admitted hard-hearted atheism and staunch cynicism on the resurrection of the Christ and his claim to being the son of God. Others may enjoy it as well...So thank you Fay, for bringing it to my attention... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67uj2qvQi_k God Bless'-)

CyndiWilkins Cyndi ~ MANY thank you for sharing this … especially the powerful quotes To each person is given the opportunity to speak about their life experiences … this can be called a “testimony” … few have the opportunity to speak about a near death experience. What I find so compelling about Dr Eben Alexander’s testimony is that he is a man of science/a neuro-surgeon … coincidence? I think not. Only a person with Eben’s background could uniquely understand and convey the medical miracle that he experienced which led to his near death experience. This quotes speaks volumes about human-thinking & human-values: "Truth passes through three phases: First it is ridiculed... Second it is fiercely and violently opposed. Third, it becomes self-evident.”- Arthur Schopenhauer The thought that leapt into my mind when I read this … had to do with Jesus Christ Jesus referred to Himself as: (I AM) “Truth” Jesus was “ridiculed” (especially by the religious establishment: the teachers of the law, scribes & Pharisees) The rejection (from “educated” religious leaders) further escalated … Jesus was “fiercely and violently opposed” And then after the death & resurrection of Christ … the Truth became “self-evident” (Jesus had foretold the events that would occur – once they unfolded: there were witnesses & there is an historical account “proof” as it were /if any cares to read a present day investigation "The Case for Christ" as told by (Attorney) Lee Strobel There is one thing Eben said: which I found of great value: he described being an “empty slate” Which makes me think: "Only when you forget everything you know … can you truly learn" ~fem-v As much as time changes things … this one thing does not change: people see what they want to see … hear what they want to hear … and believe what they want to believe

The full medical case report By Dr. Bruce Greyson and colleagues as it appears in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327114472_Full_Neurological_Recovery_From_Escherichia_coli_Meningitis_Associated_With_Near-Death_Experience “The patient had a severe case of E. coli meningitis and was near death” with a CSF glucose of 1... since that episode, he has made a 'complete and remarkable recovery' without any residual neurological issues.... This is particularly relevant because of the specific and devastating effects of meningoencephalitis on the neocortex."

"one day science will discover this too @consciousness #it's in the AI.RE" I think this awakening (more accurately, remembering) is already occurring Joseph Sprute...However I suspect a very long integration period as the world makes this dramatic shift in consciousness to include a much revised study of 'meta-physics'...Our 'neuroplasticity' isn't quite as robust as it was when we first we arrived here in these heavenly bodies;-)

Methinks we are all a result of what we thinks...Could not have said that better myself Franci\ud83d\udc1dEugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador;-) Thanks for sharing this buzz...It gives us something to 'think' about other than the current state of chaos in our material world at this moment in time...If anything has been 'overblown' lately, it is the obsessive amount of political content plastered all over this site and many others...Time to take a knee and consider the things that are most precious in our lives...Life is too short...

Thanks Robert Cormack...That would certainly make 'terminal lucidity' makes sense...A large percentage of Alzheimer's and dementia patients experience this just prior to death. It's fascinating...it's like they've returned from the dead...only to die again.

I'm not particularly fond of the title of his book either, as our current understanding of quantum physics does not allow for such 'proof' of the energetic realms of existence...It is purely participatory...with each experience being 'tailor-made' (as the good Dr. describes it) to the individual soul going through it. During his initial decent into this 'murky' realm, he describes it as ugly and threatening...reptilian and worm-like...like he was submerged in some sort of dirty jello type goo...sounds like perhaps a deep seated 'womb-like' experience to me, as he further describes an awareness of a rhythmic pounding in the distance...(his own, or perhaps the heartbeat of his mother?) He also recalls the sensation of a smooth surface rubbing up against his skin and the biological smell of vomit or feces...Hardly a 'heavenly experience aye Ken Boddie.....But the most fascinating piece is what occurs after what he now understands as the physical death of the brain...and goes on to describe his experience od an 'after-life' in vivid detail at a time when his brain...the Grand Central Station' of what makes us human, is completely out-of-service...

Heaven is probably overflown at this stage if it does exist and I don't think it does yet I don't blame people for thinking it does :-)

The other thing I can’t get my feeble brain around is why our physical presences continue to multiply with population explosion. Are we (as a collective mindfulness) on an expanding hyperbolic curve travelling towards infinity, or shall we eventually be upturned, forcefully or otherwise, towards the inverse of infinity, ie zero?

Interesting video, Cyndi, although time and growing incredulity in the narratory prevented me from viewing the whole thing. I have no firm belief of what heaven means or even if such a state of blissful continued awareness exists. Then what of the possibility of a continued state of hellish purgatory, providing a yin and yang balance of non-physical existence? “Proof of Heaven”? I think not. If there was irrefutable tangible proof, then we’d all be scrambling up the metaphorical stairs after imbibing a healthy (or is it unhealthy) dose of poison. You’re correct in that I haven’t the foggiest idea of who I am and where I came from, nor, indeed, of where I’m going, and I’ll sit on that fence until either awoken from my indecision by some revelation, self induced or otherwise ... or until my piles force me to move off the fence one way or another.

I always thought "heaven" was simply our brains trying to bulk erase all the information stored, giving us that feeling of lightness and clear-headedness. Since we haven't been truly clear-headed since birth, it seems heavenly because there's nothing bad (or good) filling our brains with negative (or positive) thoughts. We're simply empty and euphoric. Good article, Cyndi.

I cannot say in all honesty I agree with your last statement Ian Weinberg...However, I am no neuro-scientist...I simply find his case truly extraordinary in light of the seemingly 'medical impossibility' of it. Thank you for your thoughts.

I have committed my life's work to exploring and gaining an understanding in this thing called consciousness. And indeed I acknowledge that consciousness appears to extend beyond the confines of our respective crania. But irrespective of what our substrate is for exploration and investigation, it is incumbent upon us to contribute clarity by applying reason, open portals of sensory perception (devoid of limiting beliefs and violations) and engage respectfully with the reasoned works of others. With this as the background, I take issue with my neurosurgical colleague for having the arrogance to call his book 'Proof of Heaven'. It is not a proof, but rather a subjective experience. Heaven has not been proven in this case and my colleague has turned his back on his neuroscientific heritage.

"Unfortunately, our limited scientific view of the world leaves for much skepticism in the notion that the mechanism of consciousness...". Not only you expressed this reality with imaginative writing, but also added great quotes to reinforce it. It is paradoxical that science which aims at explaining discoveries also adds to our limitations because if who we are. The three stages of accepting scientific evidences as you outlined them Cyndi wilkins are extensible to all human societies across time. A buzz that is worthy of sharing.
