Dr. Keith talking about past lives

I was interviewed this morning for a radio show in Marbella (Spain) by journalist and photographer, Rosalind Scott-Gibb.

I was talking about past lives and reality, as part of the Science of Being and Consciousness teleclass series I’m hosting.

It occurred to me during the broadcast, I could share it with you all. It’s a bit rough because we used skype. Not that it isn’t very clear but there was a big contrast between the two voice levels. I’ve evened them out as much as possible. I think you’ll enjoy this OK. It’s about 45 minutes.

Here’s the player. Click the arrowhead and it will open further.

Here’s the picture of Crater Lake, which I mentioned in my email.

Are you a plus 1 or a minus 3?

Professor Gary Schwartz, leading researcher into the sphere of consciousness and survival after death, started out as a skeptic.

He defined a scale from minus 3, total DISBELIEF in anything spiritual, to plus 3, unshakeable BELIEF in all matters spiritual and beyond the physical realm.

Where do you fit? If you are a minus 3, are you being open minded enough? Or plus 3, are you just simple-minded and gullible?

We all fit somewhere on this scale. Gary Schwartz, the first speaker in my guest teleseminar series discussing the Science of Being and Consciousness, reveals in his book THE SACRED PROMISE that he considered it his professional duty to start out as a minus 3 and insist on being moved along by proof.

Most people I suppose come in between minus 1 and plus 1. But where is the evidence to justify being a plus 3? Continue reading

Proclamation

Ladies and gentlemen, discarnate as well as incarnate beings who may be listening and watching, Ascended Masters, you angels and you mystics extreme! Hear me!

In this teleclass series we are gathered here today to investigate an amazing, almost unbelievable, phenomenon – the fact that we are here!

The very fact that we have consciousness, we are here and—even more amazingly—we KNOW we are here, is the greatest of all miracles of existence.

We are here but we do not know WHAT IT MEANS TO BE. We do not understand the phenomenon of TO BE. Yet we all have it.

This is like a knife which cannot cut itself. Being cannot, at this time, quite see itself. It can be. We can see ourselves being ourselves. But it remains the most amazing, appalling, mystery in all human knowledge.

We can build cars, televisions, computers, smart phones, rocket ships… but we cannot make ourselves. Continue reading

How Is The Being And Consciousness Teleclass Series Going You Ask?

Well, apart from some housekeeping and technical hitches, very well indeed.

This series touches on powerful spiritual materials and is a long way from the wafflings of self-styled “light workers” and such*. This is cutting edge data and I mean with a hard edge. No fluff.

With my experts I am in pursuit of real understanding of what consciousness is and what is the essence of Being. OK, in the past we have had mostly speculation and opinion; or religious dogma, which does not stand up to rational scrutiny. But times are changing. We are getting a better grasp on things in today’s scientific world.

The first teleclass was last Wednesday, when we had professor Gary Schwartz talking about the science of survival after death. It was wonderfully inspiring. We truly do survive: in fact, as attendees on the call heard, the laws of physics don’t just say we could survive, they say we must survive, as a field of energy and information.

Gary had some good case histories but more to the point he put our feet on the right path regarding scientific enquiry. We talked about fitting the double-blind model into the spirit level of enquiry.

This series, you see, is not a woo-woo fest. It’s real experts, mostly academics, who have important contributions to make to science and human progress. Continue reading

A Legal Case For The Afterlife

The evidence for the afterlife is objective, stunning in its consistency and volume, and taken as a whole amounts to technical, irrefutable proof.
–V J Zammit

This is a short extract from V J Zammit’s fascinating paper A Lawyer Presents the Case for the Afterlife. Victor James Zammit, B.A.(Psych.) (Univ.of NSW), Grad. Dip.Ed.( Syd. Coll. Adv. Educ now Univ.Tech.Syd.), M.A. (Legal Hist.,Constl. Law)(Univ.of NSW), LL.B.(Univ.of NSW), Ph.D., lawyer, Euro-Australian, is a retired attorney of the Supreme Court of the New South Wales and the High Court of Australia.

Zammit tackled the question of the afterlife from a lawyer’s point of view. Interesting!

Particularly, as in this piece, he assesses the standards of evidence used to refute or establish the existence of life beyond death. It’s a pretty fascinating approach and well repays the effort in study. It is, of course, very pertinent to my series about Being and Consciousness.

From this point on the post is in Zammit’s own words:

From my experience, I find that the closed-minded skeptics are applying to evidence for the “paranormal” a totally unrealistic standard that is different from the tests applied by the courts and by science in other areas, such as the safety of medical treatments and drugs.

1. The “impossible to pass” test

Over the last one hundred and fifty years, psychic history has shown that there is a core group of critics who will not accept that psychic phenomena can exist. These closed-minded materialists apply a test that will guarantee the psychic phenomena being investigated will not be accepted under any circumstances. Continue reading

A Journey Into The Wonders Of Consciousness

I just wanted to share with you all my thoughts and hopes for the upcoming teleseminar series “The Science of SuperBeing and Consciousness.”

For many years now I’ve been watching wannabe gurus and hucksters offering their brand of “consciousness science”, which mainly seems to be about manifesting what you want and getting rich. That fraudulent movie, “The Secret” has a lot to answer for. It’s not just (mainly) untruth it portrays but is very misleading and sends people off in the wrong direction.

It’s very frustrating to me, who started my journey in the pursuit of love, truth, beauty and The Eternal, beginning with Buddhist studies in the 1960s, winning an international poetry competition and going via fascinating regions of mind and spirit, such as shamanic journeying, past lives and alchemy.

So I have put together my own reality program. I want to do this right.

And I have invited a few friends, who are very knowledgeable, and some world-class experts in the REAL science of consciousness, to come and join me in what I hope will be a serious look at consciousness science and what it means to us. Continue reading
