Time marches on, time stands still
Time on my hands, time to kill
Blood on my hands, and my hands in the till
Down at the 7-11 - Warren Zevon

Time Out of Mind

I've always been dismayed by the thought of reincarnation, so its unlikelihood has always been a comfort. Which is why it saddens me to consider that oblivion may have been as much wishful thinking as paradise.

But if the occult is on the table in these times then we need to talk about this, too, since reincarnation is the "great fundamental doctrine" of the Mystery Schools, as Dion Fortune writes in Sane Occultism. And more to the point, the emerging holographic model in which our minds are seen to both extend beyond our material bodies and to have emerged from a common consciousness provides the theoretical construct in which reincarnation becomes scientifically credible, if not inevitable.

Before we go much further, let's recall again the congruities of boundary experience, which are all manifested in part by higher frequencies of electro-magnetic vibration. Remote viewing may be regarded as a subset of astral projection, or out-of-body experience, while an OBE could be called a Near-Death Experience before its time. And the phenomenology of NDEs is remarkably similar to that of UFO encounters, as detailed in Dr Kenneth Ring's The Omega Project. And cords of each lead us to Fortune's fundamental doctrine.

Psychoactive research, too. In Rick Strassman's DMT: The Spirit Molecule he recalls the chill along his spine when he noted for the first time that it took 49 days from conception to the first signs of the human pineal gland, the same span recorded in the Tibetan Book of the Dead from death to reincarnation. (Forty-nine days is also the time of gender differentiation.) Strassman contends that endogenous DMT, produced in the pineal near death, may act as a "scout" for the non-corporeal realm.

Strassman writes:

As we die, if near-death experiences are any indication, there is a profound shift in consciousness away from identification with the body. Pineal DMT makes available those particular non-embodied contents of consciousness. All the factors previously described combine for one final burst of DMT production: catecholamine release; decreased breakdown and increased production of DMT; reduced anti-DMT; and decomposing pineal tissue. Therefore, it may be that the pineal is the most active organ in the body at the time of death....

The consequence of this flood of DMT upon our dying brain-based mind is a pulling back of the veils normally hiding what Tibetan Buddhists call the bardo, or intermediary states between this life and the next. DMT opens our senses to these betwixt states with their myriad visions, thoughts, sounds and feelings. As the body becomes totally inert, consciousness has completely left the body and now exists as a field among many fields of manifest things.

Bruce Moen - who received his training in altered-state projection at the Monroe Institute - describes in his book Voyages into the Unknown OBEs spent as a "first responder" guiding the shocked dead of Oklahoma City towards the souls' "reception centre." He notes he saw a Monroe associate, named Rebecca, doing the same, "her arms spread out in love...providing a portal," and that they acknowledged each other with smiles. Later, in this world, by telephone, they compared notes. ("Oh Bruce, the babies" were her first words.)

Reincarnation was the core tenent of Robert Monroe's philosophy, which he said he learned over decades of astral travel. Remember his "I/There"? Monroe taught that the self we know is merely the fragment of the "Total Self" which is currently living a physical life. The total self is a cluster of many beings who each live many lifetimes. (Since Monroe's death in 1995 Skip Atwater, former Operations and Training Officer of the US military's remote viewing program, has served as the institute's Director of Research.)

Where Life and Death are Memorized

Dr Joel Whitton is a Toronto psychologist who, in 1972, participated in the "Philip" experiment which allegedly created a fictional ghost by the power of a group's applied will (not unlike making a tulpa). In the decades since he has researched reincarnation, and his 13-year work with 30 individuals published in the book Life Between Life.

Of Whitton's subjects, Michael Talbot writes in The Holographic Universe that many "gave uncannily accurate historical details about the times in which they had lived":

Some even spoke languages unknown to them. While reliving an apparent past life as a Viking, one man, a 37-year old behavioral scientist, shouted words that linquistic authorities later identified as Old Norse. After being regressed to an ancient Persian lifetime, the same man began to write in a spidery, Arabic-style script that an expert in Near Eastern languages identified as an authentic representation of Sassanid Pahlavi, a long-extinct Mesopotamian tongue that flourished between A.D. 226 and 651.

Perhaps we should ask now, if we are confident that the subjects are not inventing a past life, can we assume that they are always recalling one? There are endless signals in the superhologram. Could it be that, when tuning in the higher vibrations, their brains-as-receivers instead pick up the cross-talk of disembodied consciousness? Rather than a transmigration of souls, this would mean a certain entanglement. Possibly. Entanglement could account for certain manifestations of mental and spiritual illness, including "possession." But the distinction may be chiefly rhetorical if we all partake of the same consciousness, and it fails to account for the alleged physical footprint of past lives upon the present.

Dr Ian Stevenson, head of the Department of Psychiatric Medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, published an article in 1993 entitled "Birthmarks and Birth Defects Corresponding to Wounds on Deceased Persons." He found that 35% of children who claim to recall past lives bear a birthmark or defect they attribute to a wound suffered in an earlier incarnation.

Stevenson writes:

The cases of 210 such children have been investigated. The birthmarks were usually areas of hairless, puckered skin; some were areas of little or no pigmentation (hypopigmented macules); others were areas of increased pigmentation (hyperpigmented nevi). The birth defects were nearly always of rare types. In cases in which a deceased person was identified the details of whose life unmistakably matched the child's statements, a close correspondence was nearly always found between the birthmarks and/or birth defects on the child and the wounds on the deceased person.

In 43 of 49 cases in which a medical document (usually a postmortem report) was obtained, it confirmed the correspondence between wounds: and birthmarks (or birth defects). There is little evidence that parents and other informants imposed a false identity on the child in order to explain the child's birthmark or birth defect. Some paranormal process seems required to account for at least some of the details of these cases, including the birthmarks and birth defects.

Talbot notes that Stevenson has escorted many children to the locales of their past lives, and observed them effortlessly navigate what should have been strange neighbourhoods as they "correctly identified their former house, belongings, and past-life relatives and friends."

Interestingly, and contrary to the presumptions of religion, Stevenson and most NDE researchers find no evidence of "retributive karma" or judgement of "sin" or uncharitable conduct.

Talbot writes that Stevenson has found that:

...although a person's material conditions can vary greatly from one life to the next, their moral conduct, interests, aptitudes, and attitudes remain the same. Individuals who were criminals in their previous existence tend to be drawn to criminal behavior again; people who were generous and kind continue to be generous and kind, and so on. From this Stevenson concludes that it is not the outward trappings of life that matter, but the inner ones, the joys, sorrows, and "inner growths" of the personality, that appear to be most important.

Uncertainty: the key to the science of the future?

By Ilya Prigogine, Nobel laureate, Director of the International Solvay Institute of Physics and Chemistry in Brussels and the I. Prigogine Center for Studies in Statistical Mechanics and Complex Systems at the University of Texas at Austin; member of The Club of Rome.

In a world where little seems predictable, where every day brings news of further political and economic upheavals, where we are even threatened with radical changes in the global climate, certainty is a rare commodity. Yet in his best selling book, A Brief History of Time (1), Stephen Hawking argues that we are close to the certainty which will come from understanding the full complexity of the universe. Once the "complete theory" of the universe is discovered, Hawking says the only remaining question would be "why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason...", for then we would know the mind of God.

This quest for total understanding has been the ultimate goal of physics, from Leibniz three centuries ago to contemporary writers such as Steven Weinberg (2).

It is indeed a grandiose project. To quote Leibniz: "In the least of substances, eyes as piercing as those of God could read the whole course of the universe." There would be no distinction between past, present and future; we would share the certainty of God.

We can perhaps take comfort from the fact, recently pointed out by Stephen Toulmin (3), that the religious wars and political instability of the 17th century formed the background for Descartes to formulate his quest for certainty - a certainty that all human beings could share, irrespective of religion. Descartes' programme proved to be immensely successful : it influenced Leibniz's concept of "laws of nature" and found concrete expression in Newton's work which provided the model for physics for over 300 years.

For Einstein, also, science was a way of going beyond the turmoil of everyday existence. He compared scientific activity to the "longing that irresistibly pulls the town-dweller away from his noisy, cramped quarters and toward the silent, high mountains" (4). He, too, considered certainty to be the supreme ideal of science.

The problem with this ideal of certainty is that it is associated with a denial of time and of novelty which leads to feelings of alienation. As Weinberg has said, "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it seems pointless." Indeed, the ideas of certainty forces us to give up the notion of events and eliminates the novelty and creativity without which our own lives would be pointless.

The logical consequence is dualism. In Descartes' system, matter follows deterministic laws and is radically separated from intellectual activity.

Certainty is, however, beginning to be challenged - quite rightly, in my opinion. We are witnessing the start of a timely reappraisal of the fundamental laws of physics. In 1986, the then president of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Sir John Lighthill, was moved to apologize collectively for physicists spreading ideas about determinism, based on their forebears' enthusiasm for the achievements of Newtonian mechanics - ideas which had since 1960 been proved false (5). This is a quite unusual confession. Certainty, for three centuries the key symbol of scientific intelligibility, is being put into question.

Lighthill was referring to developments in chaos theory, a topic too complex to explain here. I want only to make a remark based mainly on the recent work of my groups in Austin and Brussels. Chaos changes the formulation of the laws of physics: instead of expressing certainties, they express possibilities. At its beginning "the universe was like a newborn baby who can become a lawyer, an astronaut - but not all at the same time." As W. Thirring has written, "Our formulation of the laws of nature cannot contradict experience ... but they will be far from determining everything. As the universe evolves, the circumstances create new laws." (6)

Some people may feel that giving up the ideal of certainty marks a defeat for human reason, but I do not agree.

Once we replace the deterministic description with one involving probability, we can introduce the arrow of time into our basic equations and start to describe an evolutionary universe, in agreement with the important place of evolution in describing everything from cosmology to human history.

We can now make predictions, going far beyond classical theory, about complex systems such as the stability of our planetary system and our ecosystem.

Once we include time, we begin to understand the variety of the physical world - both the order of living systems and the disorder existing in the universe. The distinction is basically due to the arrow of time: over time, non-equilibrium processes generate complex structures that cannot be achieved in an equilibrium situation. The result is a whole new physics and a new biology of non-equilibrium processes.

Since evolutionary events related to self-organization play an essential role in both living and non-living sytems, science is no longer deterministic. Nor is it reductionist as new properties of matter appear in non-equilibrium processes that cannot be expressed in terms of individual particles.

Even the direction of time itself becomes linked to global properties of ensembles, whether elementary particles, living cells or human populations. For example, societies evolve not because individuals become older, but because the relations between individuals change.

Far from coming to the end of science, as Hawking suggests, in my opinion we are only just beginning to be able to produce a coherent view of the universe. We come from a past of conflicting certainties - be they related to science, ethics or social systems - to a present of questioning. This will mean finding a type of scientific rationality more appropriate to our times.

The future is uncertain, but this uncertainty is at the heart of human creativity. Time becomes "construction" and creativity a way to participate in this construction. As Aurelio Peccei, the founder of the Club of Rome, said, "Inventing the future is the most important and most difficult human invention."

Hopefully, just as in the 17th century, our present turmoil is stimulating scientific developments which will contribute to inventing the future.

Terry A's NDE

This was my 4th child , and he like the rest were born at home. My husband was a doctor, and it always seemed to me that we were over prepared, with medical equipment etc. except this time, the room looked sparse to me. Later I found out that he feared something would go wrong and some weird denial took over, and he talked himself out of trouble. Also as a note, he had started to have feelings for a female patient of his, which I was also I think in denial about. After giving birth to my sweet Boy, I began to hemorrhage. We also had a midwife helping, who turned to my husband and asked for the shot to stop the bleeding. His face turned white, and the look passed between them was unforgettable panic. I guess at that point I passed out.

I remember walking along a long corridor of light with a man that I couldn't see, and could only hear. I could see ahead of us a group of people standing there, just there shapes and sizes, no features. I also felt I knew these people. I must have asked my male friend, over and over again, why am I so happy? I just left my new baby, and my other 3 children, and my family, because it was Thanksgiving night and all of our family were there watching the birth and eating turkey. I felt whole and complete Love and Peace. I was so curious why I would feel so happy, and not miss anything or anyone. Then my friend spoke to me and said ,"You have known them all before and you will know them all again, there is no loss." He then told me that I had a choice, I could go with him or I could go back. Then pictures began to flash within me I guess, and I believe I saw the future, because I knew that I would be raising the children by myself and they would need me with them. Then I felt, oh yes I must go back. That seems to be when I came back into consciousness. Barely alive, but alive!

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later? Yes Yes; two years later, I was divorced, and I am the key figure in their lives. I knew that's why I must come back.

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions? Uncertain Every moment was beautiful

Did you have any sense of altered space or time? No

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose? Yes Yes, but I don't know why I know this, I just do.. Like, I was changed forever, strangely fearless, and I am certain that this life is not what's really who I am.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes My guide and myself only walked so far down the tunnel, and we stopped .

Did you become aware of future events? Yes
Very accurate

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience? Yes Most of my life I have had other worldly experiences, I think for what ever reason, I am letting them come in stronger and more freely just recently

Have you shared this experience with others? Yes When I was stronger physically I told my husband first, He had a hard time wjith it because he felt he nearly caused my death

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? Yes I was brought up with a mother who was very metaphysical, I always gravitated towards the unusual.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened: Experience was definitely real I just felt changed forever, like a secret life.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you? I still think about how wonderfully whole and happy I felt, even though I was leaving people I loved

How do you currently view the reality of your experience: Experience was definitely real the experience is definitely altering the way I view life, it seems more important and less important at the same time, the gift that keeps on giving

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience? No

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience? Yes Dreaming has become my favorite pastime, or in deep meditation, I feel closest to that experience

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience? I think this altered my sons life too, being so connected at birth, like he tapped into the altered space as well, also I think he's always been afraid I would leave him

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience? Yes It was fun for me to review it all again, thanks

I think we are outnumbered and are just beating a dead horse when we complain about what is happening in and to our country, our rights, our lives.

I have come to believe that the answer lies in our manifesting A GOOD OUTCOME, MANIFESTING what we need: By combining our intentions and visualizing our success in achieving freedom from the entities who mean us harm, we can, I truly believe, render them harmless.

SIMPLY by IMAGINING, ALL OF US, AT THE SAME TIMES THROUGHOUT 24 HOURS,
15 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER ANY HOUR OR PREFERABLY EVERY HOUR - BUT ESPECIALLY 15 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER THE NOON HOUR - WE IMAGINE THOSE WHO MEAN US HARM BEING FILLED WITH OUR LOVE AND WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE BLACK ENERGY LEAVE AS OUR LOVE ENTERS THEIR ENERGY FIELD. WE WILL LOVE THE EVIL RIGHT OUT OF THEM.

THEY HAVE THE GUNS, THE MONEY, THE POWER. WE HAVE NUMBERS, BILLIONS OF US AND OUR GOOD INTENTIONS CAN CONQUER THE MUCH SMALLER NUMBER OF MEN AND WOMEN WITH BAD INTENTIONS, THESE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE DESPERATELY LACKING LOVE FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS!

BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT. VISUALIZE THOSE WHO HATE AND HARM OTHERS AS WHAT THEY ARE, PEOPLE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF LOVE, PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LOVE THEMSELVES SO THEY CANNOT LOVE OTHERS. WE CAN DROWN THEIR HATE IN LOVE. THERE ARE ENOUGH OF US TO BRING THESE PEOPLE INTO THE LIGHT.
VISUALIZE DOING THIS, ESPECIALLY 15 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER THE NOON HOUR.

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I couldn't catch my breath, I heard the Doctor say, "Let's get that baby out of there!" I felt searing heat on my abdomen from the surgical instrument, and I passed out finally from lack of air. I could hear voices, very high pitched, they had a brassy or tinny metallic tone. The voices were coming from what seemed to be pink dots swirling around my head.

They said it's time to go, come with us. I felt like I knew who the voices were, and I felt comfortable with the voices and started rising off the table. I could no longer see the dots and the swirling feeling was gone. It was dark. I felt like I was in a dark room and I was going higher but then I just stopped rising because something stopped me, I think it was the ceiling.

I didn't look down at my body, I was unconcerned about it, I felt it didn't matter. My surroundings, and thoughts and feelings were all I was concerned about, there was a flood of emotion, knowledge, excitement, anticipation, and love. Love was almost tangible, as was the lack of distance or time.

I remember thinking I could go anywhere and do anything if I just thought of it. I felt free and more alive than I had ever felt. It was as if I had been in slow motion and been released - not unlike when someone is chasing you in a dream but you can't run fast to escape, and when you wake up, you can move at normal speed again.

I knew it was where I belonged and it was natural to be there, not scary, just right, I felt contented and peaceful but yet excited about the trip I was about to take. My mind felt so clear and awake. For unknown reasons, I suddenly realized I needed to go back. I told the unseen beings around me in the dark that I had to go back and I woke up seemingly many hours later (actually only 1/2 hour later) in the recovery room.

I felt heavy, slow, depressed. I had a new baby I couldn't focus on because my feelings of being pulled back to the other dimension were so strong. The first few days I thought about it constantly. I told my mother as soon as she arrived in the morning, I was so excited I wanted to tell everyone what I'd seen.

My mother was clearly upset and unbelieving and told me not to talk about it because in 1980 people thought you were crazy if you talked like that. II felt like I'd been displaced, I was in the wrong place. I felt like if I concentrated hard enough, I'd be able to see it again but I couldn't break through. I

had a hard time adjusting to the new baby, it was as if I was in a storybook world and had left the real world when I came back to my body. The other dimension exists in the same space we are in, we just can't see it because our brain won't go fast enough to see it, it is only visible when the restraint of the body is removed. The other dimension is reality and this world is an illusion.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes The words are too simple to explain how enormous the feelings were. The things I felt and knew do not exist in this dimension so they can't understand.

It's like trying to explain color to a blind person. For example, how do you explain there is no time in that dimension or how you knew there was no time when all people on earth have always had time? There was no clock there to tell me time was gone, I just knew.

In the other dimension, I knew everything all at once about the universe, humanity, existence, and that we are all connected mentally to each other, but now that I'm back in my body, I can't remember what I knew no matter how hard I have tried. My mind can't go that speed while in this body, it's too slow to process the information. Who will believe you knew everything but now you can't remember? It all sounds ridiculous to people who have never been there.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event? No

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness? Right before I said I had to go back.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness? More consciousness and alertness than normal

If your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please explain: Right before I said I had to go back.

Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect, such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)? Uncertain It was dark. I knew somehow the darkness was about to go away and I'd be able to see, but I said I had to go back before this occurred.

Did your hearing differ in any way from your normal, everyday hearing (in any aspect, such as clarity, ability to recognize source of sound, pitch, loudness, etc.)?
Yes My hearing was very clear. I could hear telepathically, an remember being amazed I could hear voices of so many people around me comforting me and welcoming me, making me feel "at home."

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body? Yes

What emotions did you feel during the experience? Already explained in #3

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure? Yes

Did you see a light? No

Did you meet or see any other beings? No I only heard them

Did you experience a review of past events in your life? No

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later? No

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions? No

Did you have any sense of altered space or time? Yes

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose? Yes There is life after this body dies, and it goes on forever as there is no time. All life on earth is connected mentally. We are in a cocoon like state here in these bodies, and when this body dies, the cocoon opens and we are free. We become our beautiful, butterfly selves as we were intended. There is a plan, it is all extremely organized, like a very complex mathematical equation. I knew everything but I can't remember anything else.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes I was about to cross the ceiling or top of the enclosure, I couldn't see it, I just knew it was there, it was dark. I sensed I would not be able to go back if I crossed it. I knew there would be light on the other side. I knew where I was going, I can't remember now. I actually never even thought I was dead or dying because I felt so alive. I didn't put all that together until after I woke up in the recovery room.

Did you become aware of future events? No

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience? No

Have you shared this experience with others? Yes I didn't tell anyone else for about 5 years after telling my mother because she was so upset and I didn't want people to think I was crazy. I tell anyone now without adverse reactions. People are interested or have known others with similar experiences or even had one themselves.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? No The first time I learned of studies about it was in 1983 while in college I read about Raymond Moody's stages of dying during a classroom lecture. I started to cry because so many of the things I saw were right there on the page. I didn't have to be ashamed or wonder if I was nuts any more.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened: Experience was definitely real I knew it was real but I tried not to think about it, it took about 6 months before I stopped thinking about it every few minutes. I can still remember it 28 years later as clearly as if I just woke up from having the NDE

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?

How do you currently view the reality of your experience: Experience was definitely real It was more real than anything that has ever happened to me during this life on earth.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience? No

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience? No

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience? Approximately 5 years after I told my mother about my experience, I brought up the subject again. I felt stronger now that there was more information available on NDE's, many persons had been studied with similar experiences.

My mother said the reason she was upset was because she had been so scared, she didn't want to face the fact I almost died. She said the Doctor had come out and said "We almost lost her." When I described leaving my body, it was just all too real for my mother to accept and she didn't want to hear it.

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience? Yes

Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience? I have never met anyone with so much understanding of NDE's. It was very fulfilling to be able to communicate with those who understand. This was obvious by the questions you asked. You have had to interview persons having real NDE's such as mine to know what to ask. Thank you so much for your interest and all you are doing.
