Welcome!
I am looking forward to what you have to say.

Enjoy!

Welcome and thank you, Piero. I began reading the book this morning and find it pleasant and entertaining so far,  containing a nice overview of paranormal research. I appreciate that, not having read all of these studies myself. I will be reading the book in its entirety.

again, thank you very much, blink

Hi Piero, it's nice to see there's a few around capable of operating in the domains of both science and the more intuitive.

Well done on the book, that's a lot of work up front.

What you're doing is so important  - we need so urgently to stop refusing to admit into mind all except that which is 'objective', and as a result denying access to our deeper knowing and wisdom.

That's not to position objective, intellectual thought as useless, or to try to replace with a hysterical emotionality  - the opposite in fact. The game is actually to integrate right and left brain thinking - the head and the heart.

The pity though is that what was a thoroughly practical style of sense making used alongside creativity and intuition by the great Renaissance figures and those that came afterwards ('the age of reason') has become rigid dogma.

Dogma which has for selfish and egotistical reasons consistently sought to refuse the validity of any other means of knowing, and which has consequently blinded its proponents to the bigger picture in most situations. The ultimate tragedy is the way that most of those purporting to be rational have become stuck in their reality tunnels, and are wholly incapable of anything more than the regurgitation and rabid defence of the party line.

It's a very tough space you seem to be entering - it's as I found out the hard way so hard to not be disowned by science, academia, medicine or whatever your territory is if you even tacitly start to stray off rigid orthodoxy.

It seems to me Piero that it's about much more than the paranormal. It's about our ability to see what's actually going on around us, and to make wise decisions on how to act, and what to support.

To see for example the risks inherent in many of the global 'experiments' entailed in the roll out of technologies, or to understand what's needed in society to truly increase our gross national happiness - to relate to others through love.

Unless this becomes the norm, or if we instead continue as self interested individuals seeing only what our preconceptions drive us to see and trying to get ahead at the expense of each other we're going to destroy ourselves and the world.

We've already made much of life very tough going for ourselves with this thinking, and by the way we've stayed blind to what we are creating....

Greetings,

Regarding your fine contribution to the understanding of non-material realms of consciousness,  your book is a compelling and logical explanation of the subject.   Congratulations !    Yay!

Here are some of the reasons I like it ---
The range of expert testimonies that you present has not been previously available in one book.
Expert witnesses with professional credentials and interest are included side by side with the metaphysical explorers and experiencers themselves.
Your format makes it easy to see how they correlate with each other, all speaking of the same non-material reality.
The informal thread of dialog makes the information more accessible without distracting. The photo portraits of your quoted sources add reality and reassurance that these people are fully involved professionals with expert capabilities.

Best wishes,
Betson

Hi again everybody. Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words - I really appreciate all you say. I would like to say a few words to Vajra in particular, although I have to keep it short as it's late at night and I am going for a mountaineering outing tomorrow morning. Vajra, the reasons I read so much and I ended up writing my little book is precisely that I have difficulties with the intuitive side of things. Probably, it's not for this life, if you see what I mean... My damned mind seems to be too rational... I'd rather sit and read and learn than sit and meditate, and that's disgraceful! I am having problems with the experiential side of things. I am still young (48, lol!!!) and I hope to be able to fix that at some stage, but I wrote what I wrote with people with me in mind - that is people who cant easily turn off their rational mind. Still, there's obviously much more to us than brain and reason! Love. P.

Welcome Piero 

I just read: medical doctor.
OH OH - you`re in for it, from myself.
I will be hounding you for insight dear!

I will go to your site and read up on your info there.

However I do have a burning desire for a  first hand question.

Have you in your career field experienced a cross over of a human being?
If so, can you detail it (without naming names of course).

I have asked a "nurse" whom I personally know such a question and she was able to give me some very vivid information on the subject as to how the person reaches out for "someone" whom no one else in the room can see, or how the person spoke with the same etc.

Can you verify anything of that nature?

Hugs,
Nanner
