The near-death experience shows certain common elements, including an appreciation of the interconnectedness of all humanity. This appreciation has been enshrined in many religios and moral codes throughout the world, but has been recently lost in the West. The author reviews the near-death experience, moral codes and argues for a new ethic based on the fact of "empathetic resonance" between people. David Lorimer is the author of "Survival? Body, Mind and Death in the Light of Psychic Experience".

Consciousness is the hot topic in scientific circles―its precise nature holding huge implications for the future of science as a viable discipline. And with so many recent advances in brain studies, questions of mind and consciousness have become critically important for both theorists and hard scientists. Are we “nothing but a pack of neurons” that will in due course reveal their secrets in the laboratory? Or do our conscious mind and self-awareness stem from some dimension beyond material investigation? How, too, are we to account for “parapsychological” phenomena in which consciousness seems to defy space and time boundaries? These latest contributions to the debate―selected from the annual “Beyond the Brain” conferences―show that it is time for radical rethinking of our theories and methods in investigating phenomena of the human mind.

This book reveals the shocking truth of how we have abused the very ground we stand on, the water we drink and the seas that cover our planet. Water, land and sea combine to produce the food we eat. These natural resources have become critically degraded at a time when our expanding population needs them most: we must act now. This accessible, mass market bestseller offers radical new explanations, arguments and solutions to the way we live and treat our planet. This book offers conditional hope for the future: and the condition is that certain actions are taken now rather than postponed. Hope without action is just a comforting illusion.

Peter Deunov (Beinsa Dounov), who lived in Bulgaria from 1864 to 1944, was a great and inspired teacher of the Perennial Wisdom - the essential thread of truth running through all the major world religions. He was an extraordinary man who at once embodied great simplicity and tremendous profundity. All those who knew him testified to the fact that he inspired inner excellence in very ordinary people. His teachings are both direct and clear, and will speak to everybody whatever their creed. Essentially they give a prescription for living in harmony with others, with the Earth and with the Divine.Prophet for Our Times is being brought back into print following Dr. Wayne D. Dyer's desire to share the work of the philosopher who greatly influenced him. This selection of teachings makes ideal reading for anyone on the spiritual path. It explains simply and directly how to find love, wisdom, truth, justice, harmony, and balance in life. It also gives advice on techniques of prayer, meditation, and visualization, and valuable information on right diet and exercise to assist inner focus and clarity. Peter Deunov's wise words will speak to everyone, and will have special appeal to those searching for an authentic spiritual tradition of Western origin.

This book was first published in 1990 under the title Whole in One - the near-death experience and the ethic of interconnectedness. The new title, Resonant Mind with the subtitle referring to the life review, better expresses the purpose and theme of the book. About 10% of those undergoing a near-death experience also have a life review in which they re-experience events in their lives not only from their own viewpoint, but also as if they were other people involved in the same event. The very fact that this is possible indicates that our seemingly separate minds are in fact connected at a deeper level, and that in truth we are all aspects and expressions of the same One Mind. Each event has as many dimensions as there are people who experience it. Other indications of a shared mind include psychometry, or the ability to read past events out of objects like rings; also telepathy, which for many of us is an everyday experience. Some medical intuitives are able to sense in their own bodies what is wrong with their patients. Twins and closely bonded people can also share experiences at a distance. For example, a mother may experience contractions when her daughter is giving birth. I call this phenomenon empathetic resonance. If mind were confined to the brain, this should not be possible. And yet it happens. So mind can be shared and non-local. It follows that any theory insisting that mind and consciousness are confined to the brain and body is quite incapable of explaining these well-attested experiences. We therefore need a new field theory of mind able to accommodate these experiences. This shared mind or capacity to experience what is happening to another means that we are effectively each other. Hence what we do to others we are in fact doing to ourselves: what goes around comes around - we reap what we sow. I suggest that this model of a shared or universal mind provides a metaphysical basis for the Golden Rule and what I call an ethic of interconnectedness. We are told by the Golden Rule that we should treat others as we would like to be treated. Now we find that we are one another, so there is no fundamental separation between us. The highest expression of this insight lies in the principles of Love and Wisdom – loving one’s neighbour as oneself and realising that the cultivation and personal embodiment of Love and Wisdom is the ultimate human achievement, the one we most admire. I hope that this book will help you on your journey. David Lorimer, St Colombes sur l’Hers, August 2017

Resonant Mind: Life Review in the Near-Death Experience

Occult & Paranormal

White Crow Books

This book was originally published under the title, Survival: Body, Mind and Death in the Light of Psychic Experience Are you, your consciousness and memories extinguished at death? Or is there evidence indicating survival in a new dimension of life? In this searching study David Lorimer examines the development of speculations on the nature of life and death from indigenous tribes to modern neuroscientists and philosophers. He invites you to reconsider your ideas on death by presenting many intriguing case histories of psychic experiences that have too much in common to be dismissed as ‘mere coincidences’: apparitions, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), near-death experiences (NDEs) and ‘post-mortem’ accounts of what it is like to die. He argues that only a hypothesis involving our conscious survival of physical death offers a complete and coherent explanation of such phenomena. The author suggests that, if your consciousness is transmitted through rather than actually generated by the brain, death may be considered may be considered the next phase in the adventure of life, a welcome release from the space-time limitations of the physical body. This implies that the widespread materialist assumption that your consciousness is just a pack of neurons that perishes with the brain is highly misleading and quite inadequate if psychic experiences are taken into account.
