God, you guys do make me laugh. Even when I've read the post a few times already! noozguru I also loved the story about the probation officer supplying the teen's first birthday cake. Very sweet. salyavin, as for we denizens of FFL being destined to spend all of eternity together...can we fix that posting limit first? Mr. Nabby, I believe turq's explanation about Lenz' suicide. You'll have to ask him yourself about the dog collar.

What if the eastern idea that what we focus on becomes our reality is also true? Are we denizens of FFL destined to spend eternity together in this wonderland of towering clouds and angels. Here's hoping! But I worry that our eternal arguing might lower the tone of the place.

Oh, I think dropping the instrument we call the human body probably leaves us with a sensation or two. In fact, I am sure of it. Getting out of it might even be a little like getting out of a strait jacket. Or something worse. And during that process I am also pretty sure we will be travelling somewhere in our experience which IS actually the result of moving somewhere. I don't believe in all this stuff about already being realized and pure consciousness and all that. If I don't experience it, it ain't happening and the fact that the reality exists SOMEWHERE, that that is all there really is, is irrelevant to me as it therefore exists only as an idea and ideas are not meaty enough to compare to living reality.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Proof of Heaven - has anyone actually read this book?
I think Emily, being a strong and independent sort of WOMAN, could easily have written "layman" which is what we all usually default to. But she chose, quite consciously, to use "woman" in there, just as I would have. It isn't "divisive" or "prickly" it is simply giving the feminine its just recognition. It is a measure of her thoughtfulness. At least, that is what I think. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn wrote: > > > > > > I will look up the word laywoman - ha.

As for NDE's, IMO more people should be concerned with having NLE's than NDE's.

So sad what human weevils have done to the planet.

(or embodied? never mind) AFAIK there is no proof yet that the IBO (in-the-body-experience) has any physical reality to it. You can't 'touch' reality, it's just electrons repelling each other, and have you even seen an electron yet? Right! It's all just in our heads, or rather in my head. People even don't know they have a self, they are paying big bucks just to find their 'deepest self' at the MUM find-yourself-process (I want to find my *highest* self), not to speak about knowing others or the world. It's like the fog above the Seine before the Eiffel Tower, which you forgot to photograph, is it really there? How could you go to work without your iphone? It is just hiding things, and then it gives you a romantic feeling, it's an image stored in the mind. But it's magic, right?

What if the eastern idea that what we focus on becomes our reality is also true? Are we denizens of FFL destined to spend eternity together in this wonderland of towering clouds and angels. Here's hoping! But I worry that our eternal arguing might lower the tone of the place.

Or perhaps the interest in NDE is because this is a forum of old farts fearing that the D may be N. :-D

Hence, The Golden Domes of Pure Knowledge are a perfect place to work on the subtle systems of spiritual experience which transmigrate on. While on Earth, Make hay while the sun shines; Make haste! Make haste while you got a soul embodied human nervous system on earth. It's an incredible opportunity in life. -Buck in the Dome

The thing that is so fucking interesting about you is how many opinions you have that aren't substantiated by much, even the experience of reading someone else's experience. Do you really think that the title of the book or the assumption that the book is about NDE's is what is important? I will look up the word laywoman - ha.

I have not read the book, and in fact have no interest whatsoever in reading or hearing about people's NDE experiences; I'll find out what, if anything, happens after death soon enough, when I have a DE. The only reason I'm writing is to comment on your use of the word "laywoman." I understand the usage, but am just pointing out that you might reconsider the term because the last time I heard it, it was being used by an Amsterdam prostitute to describe what she did for a living. :-) Should anyone be so humor-impaired as to no longer be able to recognize one, this was a joke. As for NDE's, IMO more people should be concerned with having NLE's than NDE's. That is, they're so worried/concerned/planning for what happens after death that they miss Life entirely.

There's a lot more than that in the book - it marries metaphysical with religious, personal God with impersonal Universe, religion with cosmology, etc. From his experience, of course, and his research into what happened to him and his need to reconcile his medical science background with Reality (his version). He addresses, simply, the "hard problem of consciousness" albeit at a level us ignorants can fathom. Curtis, you might read this book. Robin, you might read this book. Ha ha ha...not to annoy either of youcan't help myself, I think I'm having a spiritual experience. Not to worry though - I'm sure it will be gone by tomorrow. Smiley face. Plus, there are some great quotes in this book - Einstein, Kierkegaard, Cicero, etc. And I love these two lines"And, as such, I can tell you that most skeptics aren't really skeptics at all. To be truly skeptical, one must actually examine something, and take it seriously."

As always Fairfield is on the forefront of that too. The book's very readable as a modern narrative. By demographics now a lot of people in Fairfield are reading it. Nice 'cus it is not loaded so with religious buzz. I liked the page or two he devoted to his experience with Om. It's funny in that will probably have TM-tru-believers tossing in their sleep if not rolling over in their graves. -Buck
