Politics by other means

This is the best documentary I can recall on the evidence for the survival of death.  It is reasonable in tone, filled with lots of examples, and does not make any wild swings that made me uncomfortable, as many of these sorts of movies do.  I will love 95%, but hesitate to share because of 5%.  This thing is good start to finish.

And I will comment that I literally think wealthy conservatives would do well to fund research into these areas.  Yes, I would love to see leftwing folks donate as well, but most of them seem to be atheists infected with technocratic Scientism.  Drug using atheists, perhaps, but atheists nonetheless.

I think in particular, as I have commented from time to time, that it is LONG past time that some mainstream Biology Department at a major university duplicated Cleve Backster’s experiments.  Yes, in the same way Hydroxychloroquine was made to seem dangerous Backster’s experiments were swept under the rug.  Dishonest people, who just wanted him to shut up, used bad science to create the illusion of good science long enough that the world moved on.  In any event, most of the “educated” world, infused as it is with unexamined biases, WANTED to move on.  They just needed an excuse, and they got it.

He tells the whole story in his book Primary Perception, which I see has gone out of print.  Basically, he told them how to replicate his experiments, and they failed to follow his instructions, seemingly with the express intent of NOT getting his results.  They succeeded in that.  But he showed his results to anyone who would watch for many years.  He would do the experiments in real time, and always get the same results.

His experiments were easy, readily replicable, and not explicable within existing biological paradigms.  That is the EXACT sort of thing which needs to be pursued.

Politically, bringing the spiritual into the mainstream would change everything.  Most people think they have to choose between “science”, religion, and just muddling along without thinking about all this too much.  But we could create a SCIENTIFIC spirituality, upon the basis of which we could build a global society living in peace and with purpose.  We could build a body of knowledge on other dimensions and realms not based on speculation but by the trained observation of skilled and dedicated minds.  Entire universities could be dedicated to this goal.

To my mind, it is a symptom of our stupidity and lack of imagination that this was not done long ago.  No more important question exists than the survival of death.  All life decisions are logically based on how we understand death.  And moralities built on the basis of survival are vastly more robust and reliable than those built on extinction and endless nothingness.
