Imagine one day you’re suddenly able to speak a foreign language. Although it may sound unusual, this rare phenomenon is known as xenoglossy or xenolalia and is sometimes observed in mediumship and reincarnation cases. It refers to the ability of an individual to speak or write a language that they presumably did not know and could not have acquired by ordinary means.
Where do we go when we die? Do we simply cease to exist? Or, does our awareness live on in some way? The question of whether consciousness survives after our physical body dies has occupied a place in the top mysteries of humankind for millennia. This existential question used to be relegated to religion, but in recent decades, science has taken an interest.
From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys―one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.
Many people swear by gratitude and its healing power. Gratitude can be found everywhere, from the ancient Buddhist teachings to the course curriculum of modern spiritual teachers and self-help gurus.
Shared passing, or Shared Death Experience (SDE), is an experience in which loved ones, caregivers, or people in the proximity of the dying person feel they are sharing the dying person’s transition to a benevolent afterlife. And as we’ll see, these people don’t need to be in the same room as the transitioning person!
Recent scientific breakthroughs have provided ever-increasing and compelling evidence that our Universe exists and evolves as a nonlocally unified entity. Its appearance of energy-matter and space-time are being discovered to emerge from deeper levels of non-physical causation and cosmic intelligence, expressed as meaningful in-formation and holographically manifested – and progressively revealing that mind and consciousness aren’t what we have but rather what we and the whole world essentially are.
Humans have pondered the idea of reincarnation for ages. This is reflected in widespread cultural and religious beliefs about reincarnation.
How are we aware that we are aware? Consciousness remains a perplexing mystery for science. Today’s neuroscience assumes that consciousness emerges from neurons interacting with each other in the brain. Yet, we still do not have an explanation for exactly how these neural interactions cause subjective experience or the experience of being conscious. Or, to be more specific, how interacting neurons could cause us to be aware of the profound and moving experiences of falling in love, enjoying a delightful piece of art, or feeling a wave of dazzling inspiration.
Dreams foreshadowing the future – AKA precognitive dreams – have been reported throughout time in every culture and belief system. The elements of a dream playing out in waking life, inducing a sensational moment of déjà vu, has likely happened to you at some point. Despite the normality of this experience, it is only recently that sleep and dream experts, scientists, and psychologists have stopped dismissing night visions as random.
Psilocybin has literally mushroomed. Scientific studies now echo what ancient anecdotes have stated for ages – psilocybin mushrooms can help alleviate mental health conditions. The mushrooms have recently reached the mainstream through multiple Netflix documentaries including Fantastic Fungi and How to Change Your Mind.
