Sex in the Afterlife
One of the questions I am asked when I speak about The Fun of Dying and The Fun of Staying in Touch is whether we can have post-death sex. After all, the whole area of sexual relations is so important to our earthly lives. Isn’t it central to who we are? I think it’s […]

Enlightenment!
I had thought we needed a break this week from dealing with scientific dead-ends, so I was going to talk about sex in the afterlife. You would be surprised to know how often I am asked that question! But I have been accumulating links toward a future post on scientific breakthroughs, and now seems […]

The Wisdom of Occam
William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347) was an English Franciscan friar who is famous even today for having devised a problem-solving technique that scientists now honor mostly in the breach: Occam’s razor. Occam’s razor states that when there are competing hypotheses, the one that requires that we made the fewest assumptions should be selected. Or in […]

Future Human Evolution
The question of future human evolution has been faddish among popular-science types. Some argue that human evolution is at an end because our culture and our ease of travel make further natural selection impossible. Others, though, see us likely evolving in ways that will radically extend our earth-lives, including perhaps fertility into our eighties, interfacing […]

The Third Wave of Physics
One of the primary indications that what the dead have been telling us is true is the fact that the study of the afterlife turns out to be giving us a whole new physics. It isn’t about death at all. Instead, it is the next stage of quantum physics, the end toward which medical practice […]

Inching Toward Reality
Particle physicists put up a brave front, but they are going through difficult times. All their current theories about the nature of reality – string theory, the multiverse, and what-else-have you – are turning out to have serious flaws. Perhaps if they will return to that old saw, Occam’s Razor, and rethink reality along simpler […]

There Is No GOOHF Card
After two experiences of light in childhood, naturally I was an ardent Christian. Having married a Catholic, I was a Catholic Christian, a Catechism teacher, a Lector, and such a devoted daily reader of the Bible that I have read it cover-to-cover at least a dozen times. Each time I got to the final page […]

Love is All You Need
One of the things that is most certain about the afterlife evidence is what it tells us is the reason why we even are alive at all. Why are we here? What is human life for? The very fact that there exists such an exquisite and gloriously planned afterlife for each of the seven billion […]

Finding God and the Afterlife?
As you might surmise from my blog posts of June 28 and August 4, I am fascinated by dark matter and energy, and struck by the possibility that they might be, respectively, the post-death levels of our reality and the base creative force (Mind, Source, or God – your choice). The 95% of the universe […]

Suicide
I guest frequently on radio programs, and some recent hosts have ask me to address the suicide of Robin Williams with the hope that I can comfort the many people who love that beautiful man. I love him, too. But I have little comfort to give to radio listeners, and I don’t plan to discuss […]
