Included in a skeptical article in the collection, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, was this VERY interesting reference, “Another recent study compared Theravada Buddhist Monks with lay novices … The authors found far more (brain) activity in the practiced monks than the novices during meditation, noting that the monks were able to dramatically self-regulate the activity of their frontoparietal and left insular areas.” This one statement dramatically undercuts the assertion that the brain controls ALL mental activity and not the other way around. Yet, it was nonchalantly included in an article whose agenda was to (quote) “Argue that the mind is located in the brain in such a way that there is no mental life after brain death … Our conclusion is overwhelmingly supported by neuroscientific evidence.” Yet they inexplicably include a neuroscientific case study that dramatically undercuts that conclusion. What can Creator tell us?

In an earlier show, Creator agreed with the statement, “You will learn more about reality by studying the extraordinary, than the ordinary.” Yet the ordinary is the focus of the skeptics in their attempts to prove that the paranormal is make-believe. In fact, skeptics have elevated this proclivity to have the force of law. In the volume, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, behavioral geneticist Jene Mercer writes, “The law of parsimony, a guiding rule for scientists for hundreds of years, states that given two equally well-supported explanations for a phenomena, we are best advised to choose the simpler one rather than multiplying entities unnecessarily.” Skeptics routinely “choose the simpler” by ignoring and throwing out exceptions and outliers in their data, all the while congratulating themselves for being scientific. What is Creator’s perspective?

Actress Marilu Henner is one of less than a hundred people in the world with Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory. She can literally remember every detail of her life. But she doesn’t appear to “remember” the way most do. Her son once asked her after testing her memory, “You’ve never explained how you do that?” Her reply was, “I don’t DO it, I just SEE it.” Others equated it to having Google in your brain. Is her deep subconscious pulling everything out of the akashic records on demand, and presenting it to her visually? Is this ability granted as a “mission life” to simply be a non-threatening billboard for what’s possible? What can Creator tell us?

In the book, Tesla: Man Out of Time, by Margaret Cheney, she quoted Nikola Tesla, who talked about having, “A peculiar affliction due to the appearance of images, often accompanied by strong flashes of light, which marred the sight of real objects and interfered with my thought and action. They were pictures of things and scenes which I had really seen, never of those I imagined. When a word was spoken to me, the image of the object it designated would present itself vividly to my vision and sometimes I was quite unable to distinguish whether what I saw was tangible or not.” Cheney continues, “In the stillness of the night, the vivid picture of a funeral he had seen or some other disturbing scene would thrust itself before his eyes, so that even if he jabbed his hand through it, it would remain fixed in space.” What can Creator tell us about this ability of Tesla’s? Does Marilu Henner see her memories in a similar fashion?

Cheney quotes Tesla about his amazing visualization ability, “My method is different … I do not rush into actual work. When I get an idea I start at once building it up in my imagination. I change the construction, make improvements and operate the device in my mind. It is absolutely immaterial to me whether I run my turbine in my thought or test it in my shop. I even note if it is out of balance.” Cheney writes, “He claimed he was able to perfect a conception without touching anything. Only when all the faults had been corrected in his brain, did he put the device into concrete form.” Most people cannot begin to relate to this kind of ability. What can Creator tell us?

Brian made it through law school without taking notes. Not because he had a photographic memory, but because he couldn’t remember what the professor said long enough to write it down. Yet he made it through and passed the bar exam on his ability to intuit the law. He just seemed to grasp what the law was, correctly, for nearly any fact set presented. In his case, an unusual handicap was offset by an equally unusual analytical ability. What can Creator tell us?

We have learned that Karl was Allan Kardec in a past life. In that life, he was a scholar of ordinary abilities, who studied extraordinary phenomena. In his current life, he retains all the skills of Kardec, but now is a medium himself instead of having to rely on others. Can Creator explain in more detail how Karl’s abilities are an upgrade from Kardec’s, and what was involved in bringing that about?

Cheney wrote of Tesla, “The optic screen in his mind stored entire logarithmic tables to be called on as needed.” Brian struggled mightily with math, and failed to become a mechanical engineer himself, largely due to his excessively poor memory for detail—in contrast to Tesla’s optic screen. Brian tries to be philosophical and a good sport about this kind of disparity, but sometimes can’t help feeling a bit of chagrin about how UNFAIR it all seems at times. Most people have two hands and two feet. Why do most people NOT have an optic screen like Tesla? What can Creator tell us?

Mental abilities amongst people appear as varied as physical differences. Can Creator explain to us how, in spite of such diversity in mental gifts and deficits, Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are useful and effective for everyone?

Matt McCormick wrote, “Cotard’s syndrome, or the delusional belief that you are dead, that you don’t exist, or that you have lost your organs or blood, results from damage to the channels of interaction between the fusiform face area and the limbic system.” What can Creator tell us about this? Are the researchers over-attributing causality to the brain damage alone? Would the same symptoms and delusions inevitably result in any person that suffered similar brain damage?

A prolonged and detailed study of famous mediums has uncovered an unusual collection of observations and anecdotes that hint at what life is like in the light, as well as the scope of impact and influence the departed have on the living. One of the recurring themes hinted at by more than one medium is the notion that the departed sometimes intervene to protect the living. A woman receiving a reading by a famous medium (Caputo, Season 6, Episode 2) was told her recently deceased husband protected her in a catastrophic automobile accident. The woman had fallen asleep and had a head-on collision with a semi-truck. The car was utterly destroyed, but she walked away without a scratch. Did her “deceased husband” actually protect her, or was this story an exaggerated assertion, to mask the more complicated divine intervention of her higher self, and angels? What role did the deceased husband ACTUALLY play, if any?

How were the rules of engagement satisfied in the intervention described above? When a departed loved one is credited with a miraculous intervention, it begs the question, “Why doesn’t this happen to save everyone from accidents?”

During a reading with a famous medium (Caputo, Season 13, Episode 3), the client was told about their recently passed son, who was heavy into sports, “He’s playing soccer, he’s playing football, he’s playing lacrosse. ‘I’m playing every sport I can – because I can.’ Everything and anything that he wanted to do in the physical world, he’s doing on the other side.” It seems hard to believe that soccer in heaven can impart the same overall experience that it does in the physical, because of the limitations of the physical, which we are reportedly free of in the light. Playing soccer in the physical world carries the risk of injury, along with facing aggressive, sometimes cheating opponents, etc. And if light beings can see the future, what’s the point of holding a contest? What can Creator tell us?

Can Creator give us a quick summation of the primary differences between a medium and someone who fantasizes readily, or is even delusional?

A police officer attended a group reading of a famous medium (Caputo, Season 11, Episode 3). Years earlier this officer had responded to a call concerning a car accident. It wasn’t good. He was doing cardiac compression on a young male victim who died when they were putting him in the ambulance. The officer had never met the young man, but inexplicably grieved the loss and obsessed about his death daily for years, wondering if he had done the right thing and if the young man’s soul was okay. What is the backstory of this officer’s inexplicable grief for a young man he never met?
