A major but biased new paper on consciousness

[Ninshub]

Thirdly, perhaps worst of all it has been noticed that there is something about the paranormal that seems to actively resist being poked and prodded and attempted to be forced to reveal itself. Almost as if the "powers that be" do not intend mankind to obtain full scientific and analytical confirmation of ultimately spiritual truths of this world and the next.

Listening to a lot of Christian Sundberg (who has pre-birth memories for those reading this who don't know his name) interviews this week, that relates to how he talks about the "veil" that we take on when we "incarnate". He explains how we do this because the contrast is so immense between the physical life on Earth and the higher realms, that we would not be able to stand this life if we were unveiled, through feeling that contrast. The homesickness would be too great. (He says he still feels veiled himself even though he has some of those memories, and he is glad for it otherwise he too would find it unbearable.)

Which brings us back, funnily/sadly enough, to the topic discussed here of NDErs who commit or attempt suicide. Obviously they've tasted "home" and the homesickness is so great, especially if their lives are terribly shitty here, that that must be a tough thing to resist. Especially if you've just had a "taste" of "home" and not gotten enough knowledge of why we're "here" and its importance.
