Awakening The Soul

Preface

The intention of this book is to provide enough well-documented information from a wide variety of respected sources to prove this premise:

All “metaphysical phenomena” are simply the traits, abilities and characteristics of our spiritual nature, emanating from our Souls. We are all spiritual beings who exhibit a wide variety of divine abilities.

This will be a paradigm shift of perception for Science and Spirit that is long overdue.  Ironically, most of the delay has been caused by the institutions that are supposed to lead us to higher spiritual awareness – our Religions, primarily Christianity.

This volume presents the fruits of 20 years of research into spiritual phenomena, which others call “psychic phenomena,” “metaphysical phenomena,” “psi” or “parapsychology.”  These names all describe the same thing – the effects and traits of our spiritual nature. More than 70 are referenced here, and remarkably, every single one has a spiritual component.

While it’s unlikely mainstream science will agree, any level-headed, intelligent person can see from the vast amount of information drawn from myriad mainstream sources, that this is a most logical, sensible conclusion.

Without Science’s stamp of approval, which is highly unlikely in the near future, this premise must be based on the evidence.  Until Science is willing to test the evidence, it will never know the truth that spiritual seekers already share. Like Chicken Little crying, “the sky is falling,” Science will not look up to determine the truth.

We know why Science has failed to investigate human spiritual consciousness.  This reticence is the result of almost 2,000 years of suppression by Christianity, which intimidated Science from investigating spiritual consciousness.  So scientists ignored spiritual consciousness, and now blindly reject the evidence of our true nature.

We should no longer allow Science’s blindness to continue to blind us. We can ignore Science’s nay-sayers, its doubters, its debunkers.  We will seek the truth on our own.  This quest is much too important for us to allow the negative attitude of Science to deter us from our search for spiritual truth.

There are a few brave scientists who believe as I do, and are willing to stake their professional reputations on their belief.  We owe them a great debt of gratitude. They are willing to rebuke the traditional scientific view of metaphysics (“It’s all fake”) to embrace the new paradigm that a single spiritual source accounts for all our persistent “phenomena.”

We also ignore the professional skeptics who self-righteously declare all spiritual phenomena bogus – particularly The “Amazing” Randi and his professional debunking colleagues at the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. Just because they are professional ‘Doubting Thomases’ does not mean that we should blindly follow suit. Their blindness should not cause you to doubt the validity of your spiritual nature.

You are invited to make up your own mind about this vitally important aspect of our being, which is just coming back into focus after being thoroughly suppressed through almost two millennia of persecution and oppression.

We think the proof is in the pudding, and we’ll let you decide whether to side with the doubters, or step into the new light of reason. We welcome you to this new and wonderful world, just behind your consciousness, waiting for your recognition.
