The Near-Death Experience Of Cami Elizabeth Renfrow
Jan 21
Excerpt: "I left my marriage as soon as I could walk again. I experienced ongoing mystical states of consciousness to the point of greatly disrupting my life. I began sensing other people's emotions and physical states. I dropped birth control and influenced my fertility instead through communicating with my unborn children. I experienced major, major neuroendocrine changes, major electrical disruption to the point I had to stop wearing a watch and many holistic medical tests that rely on the electricity of the body do not work on me. Healer after healer in various modalities said they had never seen what they saw was happening in my body (i.e. shaman, clairvoyant, naturopath...). I got stopped on the street more than once to be asked what the light was around my head, or from light healers who just wanted to make contact. I dropped western medicine -- despite a shattered pelvis my children were born at home because they made it clear to me ahead of time that's how it would be safest and healthiest for all of us. My sexuality/libido radically shifted and orgasms began to fill the room around me rather than my body. My family shifted from a middle class normal house to giving our belongings away and living on the road, following intuition rather than society's shoulds. I discovered I could heal with my hands (and we ALL have that ability). When I began going to professional holistic medical conferences without any previous training, the teachers called me aside for encouragement, praise of my questions (the most insightful in twenty years of teaching) etc. without any previous training -- I seemed to know about healing from the inside out. Everything I've learned since has seemed to be remembering rather than learning. We have handled *almost* all of our health challenges as a family with plant medicine, or with our hands. (My healthy five year old son has never needed a doctor -- we've handled all normal emergencies with energy/spirit/plants). I end up running into person after person who is experiencing difficulties with 'kundalini awakening' and I like to help them through."
Sedona Talk: ‘How Near-Death Experiences Are Changing The World’
Jan 20
I wanted to let all of you know that I will be giving a two-hour presentation at the Sedona Public Library on January 27th called "How Near-Death Experiences Are Changing The World". I've been preparing a KeyNote / PowerPoint presentation that will include summaries of some of the most amazing near-death experiences I am aware of. I'm expecting my talk to include about an hour's worth of these video clips, all hand-picked and tightly edited. Some of the NDErs I plan to include are Mary Jo Rapini, Mellen-Thomas Benedict, Nanci Danison, Jim Macartney, Colton Burpo, Elizabeth Taylor, Howard Storm, Beverly Brodsky, Ben Breedlove, and Anita Moorjani...
Dancing Past The Dark: Distressing Near-Death Experiences
Jan 20
Nancy Evans Bush writes: "I have... been for thirty years a researcher of distressing near-death experiences, working with the International Association for Near-Death Studies and publishing in their peer-reviewed, scholarly journal. My work bridges the gulfs between social science research, religious beliefs, secularism, and the sometimes loony world of public opinion, with occasional brushes with findings from the neurosciences. To the best of my knowledge, it is as close as anyone has come to publishing substantial scholarship specifically about the distressing end of the near-death spectrum. Exceptions: Theosophical scholar Gracia Fay Ellwood set a high standard for scholarship with The Uttermost Deep; however, the book’s objective was not to describe and investigate distressing NDEs themselves, but to consider their impact on the idea of survival after death. P.M.H. Atwater has for many years written thoughtfully about distressing NDEs. Her conclusions are based on her investigative findings and on her own considerable intuitive abilities..."
The Butterfly People Of Joplin
Jan 19
In the chaotic first days after the tornado, when nothing seemed real, word of the butterfly people began to spread. The stories were shared in hospital waiting rooms and in lines for donated food. They were told by neighbors on streets so devastated there was nothing to do but stand and stare. A Red Cross counselor heard the stories as she handed out water and work gloves to residents in a hard-hit part of town. She got goose bumps. She told her pastor, who asked her to tell the congregation. She remembers how the crowd gasped. The stories about butterfly people coursed through Joplin, passing one by one and then by the many, tales describing what children reported seeing on that Sunday night in May as the tornado bore down. The children said the butterfly people protected them...
Apple’s iPad To Kill The Textbook
Jan 19
Apple announced it would update its iBooks platform to include textbook capabilities. It also added a new platform called iBooks Author, which lets anyone easily create and publish their own e-books. Apple's late co-founder and chairman Steve Jobs had hoped to bring relief to the higher education masses in the late 80s and early 90s, but 20 years later, Jobs's legacy lives on in Apple, which hopes to make yet another dent in the education industry...

NDE: Interview With 11-Year Old Colton Burpo (Heaven Is For Real) (Updated)
Jan 18
A burst appendix nearly cost 4-year-old Colton Burpo his life in 2003. Afterwards he began telling his parents about a very vivid trip to heaven, including sitting in Jesus’ lap, watching his parents while he lay seemingly near death, and meeting his great-grandfather. But most poignantly, Colton described meeting a sibling in heaven -- even though he had no way of knowing that his mother had miscarried two years before he was born, since his parents had never told him. Colton's father, Todd Burpo, began telling of his son’s heaven-sent visions from the pulpit of the Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Imperial, Neb., where he serves as pastor. Word of mouth spread, and the family landed a book deal. The book -- “Heaven Is for Real,” written by Todd with co-writer Lynn Vincent -- has become a best-seller, with some 1.5 million copies in print since its release in November. Here's an interview with Colton (and Colton's parents) who appeared on The Today Show with Matt Lauer...

Book: ‘Near-Death Experiences, The Rest of the Story…’
Jan 17
"Having undergone her own profound transformations in consciousness resulting from three successive Near-Death Experiences in 1977, P.M.H. Atwater set about on her distinguished career of careful, detective-like fieldwork and research into the mysteries of NDEs. Near-Death Experiences: the Rest of the Story is her crowning achievement. In it Atwater places the varied phenomena of NDEs into a broader setting of the natural 'ongoing process of transformative adaptation within the human family as a species'. This is P.M.H. Atwater at her very best, resetting the bar for all future NDE research. She is magnificent in her painstaking role as detective, observer, interrogator, advisor, empathizer, compiler & categorizer of data, and creative formulator of plausible hypotheses in the face of 43 years of research findings...This is Atwater's 10th book, and is an absolute must for anyone interested in how NDEs relate to the transformation of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and our true potential & that of the world. It is destined to become a classic in Near-Death Studies and Consciousness Research, and has my highest recommendation." -- Scott A. Olsen, Ph.D.
Quote: Dalai Lama
Jan 17
"Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness. When one desires to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being, then generosity -- in action, word, and thought -- is this desire put into practice. It is important to recognize the "generosity" here refers not just to giving in a material sense, but to generosity of the heart." -- Dalai Lama
The Dark Side Of iPhones & iPads

Almost all of the major electronics manufacturers make their stuff in China. One difference with Apple, though, is the magnitude of the company's profit margin and profits. Apple could afford to pay its manufacturers more or hold them to higher standards and still be extremely competitive and profitable...
New Book: ‘Beyond Religion’ – The Dalai Lama’s Call For Secular Ethics
Jan 17
Ten years ago, in his best-selling Ethics for a New Millennium, His Holiness the Dalai Lama first proposed an approach to ethics based on universal rather than religious principles. Now, in Beyond Religion, the Dalai Lama, at his most compassionate and outspoken, elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. Transcending the mere "religion wars," he outlines a system of secular ethics that gives tolerant respect to religion -- those that ground ethics in a belief in God and an afterlife, and those that understand good actions as leading to better states of existence in future lives. And yet, with the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority, the Dalai Lama makes a claim for what he calls a third way. This is a system of secular ethics that transcends religion as a way to recognize our common humanity and so contributes to a global human community based on understanding and mutual respect. Beyond Religion is an essential statement from the Dalai Lama, a blueprint for all those who yearn for a life of spiritual fulfillment as they work for a better world.

2002 BBC Documentary: ‘The Day I Died’
Jan 14
Studies of cardiac arrest survivors suggest that near-death experiences may occur at times when the brain has actually stopped functioning. Drawing conclusions from that research, this 2002 documentary suggests that the mind is not dependent on the brain -- and that NDEs may confirm it. Accounts of NDEs, shared by the people who experienced them, are analyzed by researchers and skeptics alike...
