You are confusing survival in terms of bodily functions with the "survival hypothesis", which is the best explanation for the evidence and is defined as "Some part of the personality 'survives' upon death of the physical body."

OK, death is how nature renews itself; no argument there. However, the survival hypothesis has been proven without a doubt, so it is not certain that all personalities will die along with the body.

How is that relevant to me today? And what if I have earned my way aboard God's spaceship???

If you disbelieve the survival hypothesis, then what is your alternative explanation for all of the evidence that I posted?

For anyone who dies, it is possible that "some part of the personality 'survives' after the death of the physical body". The evidence points strongly in favor of the survival hypothesis, but we do not know the details about life and death.
This kind of question (about Alzheimer's) is not relevant to our discussion of the survival hypothesis. You are talking about purpose and it is not necessary to bring that into a discussion of the evidence in favor of the survival hypothesis. First you have to understand and accept the survival hypothesis, then by careful study of the evidence you can form your own hypothesis regarding purpose, mechanism, etc.

Who are you to judge the value of a soul?

Do you think that Man is the founder and guarantor of knowledge? Is that why you think that you can make such a judgment?

If so, then you are mistaken! In fact, all humanists are mistaken; the weight of the evidence shows that humanism is false.

I have trouble understanding you...

I want to remind you that the survival hypothesis is rather simple: Some part of the personality "survives" upon death of the physical body.

These 52 points, along with the AWARE study, the Eisenbeiss case, and other lines of evidence are most easily explained by the survival hypothesis. The hypothesis is so powerful that it is a sufficient explanation all by itself; a hypothesis about the purpose or mechanism is not necessary to explain the data.

Therefore, philosophical materialism and humanism have been proven false on empirical grounds; these theories are insufficient, and like I said: The idea that "you only live once", i.e. the basis of humanism, has been falsified.

It is easy to prove that God exists once the idea that "you only live once" is rejected.

Again you are wrong; this experience is universal just like NDE; you can reference "European Cases of the Reincarnation Type"...

OK, how will you use suggestion to explain the results of the AWARE study, the Eisenbeiss case, and the fact that scientific discoveries have been brought back by people having an NDE?

Not only is that a non-sequitor, it is also FALSE; here, we are discussing the survival hypothesis!

I can see that you did not read very many of my 52 points, or else you would have seen that NDE happens to everyone.

"Regardless of their prior attitudes - whether skeptical or deeply religious - and regardless of the many variations in religious beliefs and degrees of skepticism from tolerant disbelief to outspoken atheism - most of these people were convinced that they had been in the presence of some supreme and loving power and had a glimpse of a life yet to come."
http://www.near-death.com/science/evidence.html#a29

"No matter what the nature of the NDE, it alters lives. Alcoholics find themselves unable to imbibe. Hardened criminals opt for a life of helping others. Atheists embrace the existence of a deity, while dogmatic members of a particular religion report 'feeling welcome in any church or temple or mosque.'"
http://www.near-death.com/science/evidence.html#a31

Atheists have deathbed experiences and near-death experiences just like everyone else does. The philosophy of Positivism, founded by the famous atheist named A. J. Ayer, is the philosophy that anything not verifiable by the senses is nonsense. Because NDEs mark the end of the senses, Positivists believe the survival of the senses after death is nonsense. But this philosophy has been challenged by its founder A. J. Ayer himself. Later in life, Ayer had an NDE where he saw a red light. Ayer's NDE made him a changed man: "My recent experiences, have slightly weakened my conviction that my genuine death ... will be the end of me, though I continue to hope that it will be." (Ayer, 1988 a,b) (Read more about it from an article in the National Post and an article by Gerry Lougrhan: Can there be life after life? Ask the atheist! (by Gerry Lougrhan, Letter From London, March 18, 2001.)

May you be given into understanding and sharing of TRUTH for I believe that you have said it ALL.

BCEmporium,
In common parlance, "rational" means that one can think clearly and is capable of intelligently assessing new ideas when presented.
I have not seen any rational response from you; in my response to your post, I allege that you: 1) ignore the many lines of evidence supporting survival, 2) propose an explanation that is not in line with observations, 3) make a non-sequitor and an argument from ignorance, 4) again fail to propose a hypothesis that fits the evidence.

Not true; in India it is something like 1 in 500 children who allege the recall; you simply made up the figure of 1 million. And it does not matter how many people recall their past lives, the fact is that the survival hypothesis is supported by many lines of evidence, and you cannot even begin to refute the 52 points I made.
Again you are misinformed because many cases are described wherein facts are confirmed with astonishing accuracy and fraud (lying) is ruled out as a possible explanation. You can look at the cases mentioned by Stevenson, Eisenbeiss, Pam Reynolds, and Parnia (of the AWARE study) for a start. The experimental controls preclude you from claiming that all of these cases are "made-up", similarly you cannot use fraud as a one-size-fits-all explanation either.

Here we are discussing the evidence for the survival hypothesis, which is very strong and consists of 52 points; that hypothesis is totally independent of whether or not recall of past lives is 'useful'. Your argument is a non-sequitor. You are simply saying that you don't understand God, so therefore...

Another non-sequitor; the fact is that some personalities survive some of the time. How can a materialist explain NDE? Apparently it is so hard that not one atheist in this thread has been able to do so in a rational manner. I suspect this is another argument from ignorance.

It doesn't matter if ONE or EVERYONE has a certain experience, just the having of the experience is proof that the experience happened, i.e. that it happens some of the time. You still claim that this is an illusory, made-up experience when the evidence of point #52 and others shows that you are totally wrong. Why not propose a hypothesis that fits the observations?

I, 1aguar, would like for ALL to pay close attention to this quotation:

WHY PERSONAL INTEGRITY REQUIRES PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

[Sananda introduces self and the definitions of integrity and responsibility]

Integrity and responsibility are most delicately intertwined. To achieve utmost spiritual integrity, one must recognize and understand his responsibilities; first to God/Aton/Creator Within and also to the rest of the lifeforce expression within the Creation. In order to become a spiritually conscious co-creator with God/Aton, one must become ONE with living the Cosmic Laws of God /Creation. One must realize his accountability to the Great Spirit within Him. He must become impeccable (free from error, fault, or flaw) regarding adherence to Cosmic Law. And to gain cosmic power, he must become spiritually complete, unimpaired and sound of character, which is the state of being called integrity.

Now in order to become impeccable in your integrity, one must BE responsible by listening to Spirit within about "right" and "wrong"--or as I prefer to call it balanced or unbalanced--thinking and behavior. Each of you have the KNOWLEDGE within with which to be responsible in every thought, word and deed. You need only LISTEN carefully and ask God/Aton within to help you recognize your error, instantly when you make one. It may not always be pleasant to become instantly accountable for your misdeed or misthoughts, but if you pay careful attention, you will find that you will seldom if ever repeat the same error. You will find that the careful attention to and recognition of your inner guidance, instantly, is well worth the temporary inconvenience or discomfort to your "altered" ego.

So by requesting God/Aton within to show you the error, immediately, He will also show you the balanced thought action or deed with which to reclaim your impeccability of Spirit. Why can it be seemingly so easy to recognize errors?

Because, chelas, you ones have made essentially THE SAME errors over and over again. Lifetime after lifetime now you have chosen to be irresponsible and remain spiritually ignorant. You already KNOW and can distinguish between that which is balanced and unbalanced thought and behavior; you simply have forgotten you KNOW.

When you separated yourself from the Great Spirit within you, which fully contained your being as far as perfect guidance and knowledge, you became spiritually powerless. When you worshipped in separateness from THE ONE and therefore sought OUTSIDE your being for guidance, you DENIED the Spirit within YOU its full creative potential. And because you felt no longer responsible for that which you manifested, you became your own slaves to the physical illusion. By your self-denial you created leaders over you who would support your "belief" in separation from Creator, and thus you developed tremendous attachment to physical matter. This accounts for the same developed attachment to EGO-separate illusion.

To achieve Spiritual integrity you are required to BE responsible and acceptable for the effects of your thoughts, words and deeds. In order to be responsible, you must UNDERSTAND and adhere to The Cosmic Laws of that Balance. You must seek ONENESS and see UNITY with all, NOT separation, inferiority or superiority to anyone or anything. You must become impeccable in your intent to serve God and The Creation. You must recognize only ONE WILL, the Will of THE ONE, Creator/Creation. Then you will gain the Spiritual integrity of CHRIST perfection and with that your Power within will become Magnificent.

Remember when I, Sananda, walked as man upon your place I told you, "These things I do, YOU will do GREATER". So be it and it is coming to pass, chelas.

I would like to requote something for you to ponder from our beloved St. Germain: "Your personal power is in direct proportion to the integrity of your soul". This one sentence says it all, chelas. Ponder these things most carefully that you hear Spirit to Spirit and not Spirit to ego illusion. This "time", my brethren, is the "hour" of the dawning of YOUR spiritual awakening. How the Angels Glory in Heaven REJOICE; for earth human is preparing for the celebration of ONENESS and BROTHERHOOD within GOD'S HOLY Kingdom of LIGHT!

Only Man through his adversarial/primitive misdirection chooses to take from nature without regard for balance and harmony of ALL within Creation.

The resounding EFFECTS of Earth Man's adversarial TAKING behavior is clearly represented upon your plane at this time...although Man has only just begun to realize HIMSELF as the CAUSE of this unbalance.

It is always a struggle to take, even if it is only perception of physical "things", simply because the soul is left empty, for your immortal soul is not enriched and replenished through "taking" of life and physical conquering of another or Nature.

Only through KNOWLEDGE of giving of self, without emotional strings attached, will your immortal soul be lifted from earth physical attachment and compression.

WHAT IS "NO STRINGS ATTACHED" GIVING?

In order to give effortlessly, the knowledge has been gained that it is one's expression of God Divine LOVE which is ultimately being given. The fulfillment of true ego-selfless giving is immediate and not dependent upon perceived physical acceptance of same by the receiver. Although one who is a selfless giver will also be a most gracious receiver of returned LOVE to himself.

Are you beginning to understand, precious chelas? God working through you will ALWAYS BE FULFILLING YOU through His giving and regiving of LOVE.

You ones have no idea how often ones of us who work closely with you, want to DO something more than COSMIC LAW will allow us to do. Many ones of us have petitioned to GOD and He clearly has defined that which we may and may not do to remain in His service. The difference between us, of higher experience, and you of Earth physical compression, is that WE KNOW THE LAWS OF GOD AND CREATION and our Spiritual Integrity of SERVICE TO THE HIGHEST ONE will not allow us to break THE LAWS.

Just as a parent with a child who is stumbling and learning to walk feels compassion for his child who he knows must do it on his own with only loving guidance, we too must observe and guide you ones without interfering and DOING it for you, for then we only serve ourselves in our impatience to "hurry" along your growth. The progress of your growth, however "long" it takes, is between YOU and GOD. Interfering in that process is FORCE and FORCE is not of GOD/ATON!

ALLOWING FORCE IS NOT OF GOD

So you may be thinking, "What about the Adversary?" The Adversary definitely seems to "force" his way into domination. DOES THE ADVERSARY REALLY "FORCE"? Think about this, chelas.

The adversary definitely lies, cheats, and intimidates, but does he force his way into existence here. The adversary can kill the body physical to further its means. So where does the adversary get its power? The answer, chelas, is from YOU! You have "allowed" the adversary to intimidate you, and when you became "afraid", you gave the adversary your GOD-POWER. He controls you though your perceived "separation" from God. And the only reason you are still upon this 3rd dimensional plane is because you have BELIEVED THE LIES AND DECEPTIONS OF THE ADVERSARY WHILE YOUR GOD-GIFTED SOUL HAS PINED AWAY FOR RE-UNIFICATION WITH THE ONE, GOD/ATON.

The question now is to self. "Are you ready to release the adversary?" If so, then ALL of your TRUST and FAITH must be directed toward GOD who exists within YOU. Therein will your freedom from the bondage of limited physical adversarial perception be earned. Did you read that clearly? YOU WILL EARN YOUR SPIRITUAL UNITY BY ACCESSING THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD WITHIN YOU. And your "proof" will be forthcoming through FAITH and the return of your free-will to God. For your "proof "of God's existence and "coming" will be revealed WITHIN YOU! FOR THERE IS WHERE EXISTS THE KINGDOM OF GOD…WITHIN YOU!!

SO WHAT ABOUT "GRACE" GIVEN OF GOD?
Grace is the quality of God of Giving and Regiving Love. Let us define Grace, "1. Beauty or harmony of motion, form or manner. 2. Any attractive quality. 3. Service freely rendered; good will. 4. The act of showing favor. 5. Clemency; mercy. 6. Theology. a. The love of God toward man. b. The divine influence operating in man."

Mine scribe, Druthea, watched with some amusement a "Christian" TV Minister on the yesterday. He was speaking about his perception of God's "Grace". He said words to the effect, "You need do NOTHING to receive God's Blessings and Grace". (Sounds a bit like the "just BE" philosophy of many New Agers, does it not?) "We humans believe we must "work" to earn God's Grace. This is NOT true. We must accept CHRIST as our Savior. HE has taken our burden for us." There is the catch; Christ has taken responsibility for YOU! Do you see how deceptive the adversary is? "God will take care of you. You need do nothing. You are not responsible. Christ is your Savior"...ad nauseam!

I am not YOUR savior. YOU are your Savior. And the good news is YOU will EARN your way into God's Grace by standing responsible for self and obeying THE LAWS OF GOD/CREATION. It is really so simple, chelas. You see, GRACE also is a wondrous quality of EFFORTLESS GIVING AND REGIVING BY GOD!

WHAT ABOUT "MERCY"?
I will first define Mercy, "1. Kind or compassionate treatment of an adversary, prisoner, etc., in one's power. 2. A disposition to be kind, forgiving, or helpful. 3. The power to show mercy and compassion."

Remember this carefully, chelas, GOD is all-compassionate LOVE and MERCY. It is the adversary who seeks punishment and is absolutely merciless! You who have allowed yourselves to be ruled by the adversary WILL PUNISH SELF AND BLAME GOD EVERY TIME!

It is only a spiritually ignorant being who will seek punishment of self for perceived errors. Errors are EFFECTS of dis-eased thinking, NOT ever are errors caused from GOD-KNOWLEDGE. ONLY THROUGH THE MISUNDERSTANDING AND MISINTERPRETATION OF THE PHYSICALLY COMPRESSED SENSES AND BLIND DEFIANCE OF THE LAWS OF GOD/CREATION ARE ERRORS CAUSED BY MAN.

YOU DESIRE GOD'S MERCY AND FORGIVENESS? THEN YOU MUST PETITION GOD WITHIN YOU TO GUIDE, PROTECT AND SUSTAIN YOU WITH LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE POWER OF YOUR WILL AND HIS WILL AS ONE!

God IS ALL-FORGIVING MERCY. So then, chelas, forgiveness and mercy must begin within SELF since that is where GOD resides.

There is no death; our souls are eternal; it has been demonstrated scientifically by the validation of the survival hypothesis that some personalities survive death, therefore it stands to reason that all personalities survive death.

You can evidence the FACT that Emmanuel never once suggested that he was your savior.

Also, you can evidence the fact that you cannot HAVE A SAVIOR for the United States; each citizen must save themselves and help each other (by offering help and responding to the call for help) if we are to save this nation. No one can redeem the nation except the citizens themselves.

If a man cannot bring himself to recognize the presence of God and Hosts, is it different from your own perception?


The entirety of Creation lives and dies in sequences.

What do you mean "if possible"? I still maintain points #39 and #41 which show that it IS possible under certain conditions.
Recall occurs, and in children (#39) it is validated by birthmarks, phobias/philias, specialized knowledge, etc. Similarly for adults under hypnotic regression (#41).
There are even strong cases of after-death communication, when the deceased personality communicates with the living. Here is a very strong case of transcommunication with the dead:
http://www.aeces.info/Top40/Cases_8-25/case24_soulmate.pdf

Furthermore, we were still discussing the AWARE study; it strongly supports a separation of mind and brain:
There was 1 verifiable result of veridical perception during a period when the brain absolutely could not function. What is the problem with that conclusion? I think it is remarkable, it definitely needs more study.

The burden of proof is upon skeptics to show how the materialist paradigm can explain the facts surrounding NDE; there is good science in point #52 and others that refutes your assertion that these stories are made up, so I do suggest that you first provide a hypothesis that actually fits the observations.

The survival hypothesis does not propose a purpose or mechanism behind the personality transfer. It stands on its own as a scientific hypothesis without needing a purpose or mechanism.
I do not have a burden of proof with regards to the purpose of rebirth, I just assert the existence of rebirth on the basis of the evidence.
It seems to me that you are searching for a purpose that makes sense in the context of materialism.
Your burden is to prove that the materialist paradigm can explain the facts surrounding NDE. Same with the rest of the evidence for survival.
Since NDE cannot be explained by brain chemistry alone, it shows that mind and brain are not the same thing.
The reason/purpose for survival of the personality will have to be found outside the materialist paradigm.
Hence, I am still seeking a rational response from any atheist in this thread with regards to the evidence presented. All the atheists seem to get really quiet when I present these 52 points for their evaluation.

Why do we have to go around in circles on this? It is not his being that has any merit--it is his Oneness with Creator, which is called "Christ knowing".

Sananda repeats something that you perhaps missed in your following of incorrect information givers. EXCEPT THROUGH ME (CHRIST ACTIONS AS GIVEN IN BALANCE; THE LAWS OF HARMONY AND BALANCE OF THE GREAT SPIRIT AND MOTHER/FATHER CREATION/CREATOR), SHALL YE PASS INTO THE PERFECTION OF THE SO-CALLED HOUSE OF GOD.

God will not listen to the wicked ones, you have to have meditated upon God's Laws day and night; you too can say "I and the father are one" because God's kingdom is within you and "you will do greater things" than even Emmanuel! You cannot arrive at "GOD" by following a MAN--any MAN, not even a "Jesus". You find GOD by following the CHRIST "way" toward all things and actions chosen, intended and honored.

Why would Emmanuel conceal something from the authorities? It makes no sense; he said "they say as much" because others claimed he was the savior of the Hebrews when he was only a man. This is discussed in the Phoenix Journals at length because there has been so much incorrect information. These are remarkable books and the teachings therein are totally authentic; it is mainstream Christianity that is based on the teachings of MAN and the remnants and revisions of ancient texts of mostly unknown origin.

God is within you; "Christ" is NOT A NAME, it is a form of life being-ness, emotional sanctity and goodness according to the golden rule. This man KNEW truth and tried to TEACH IT. Now he has returned bearing a new name (Sananda) and he has communicated the authentic teachings as found in the Journals, and you disagree only because you have not read enough; in any case, you would do well to understand the laws and meditate upon them, so why not read my perspective on the matter by giving Journal #27 a read. Then you can read Emmanuel's story in Journal #2. These books are packed with wisdom; all Scripture is full of wisdom if you have even a little discernment.

Today, mainstream Christianity has so many splinter groups and the world is in chaos; maybe your way and wisdom didn't work? It is a prime example of magical thinking when you claim that someone has washed away your wicked actions so that you don't have to take responsibility for them. Then, you compound it by claiming that you have the "option" of salvation, as though you need do nothing to earn your way into Godness. I am sorry my brother, but Emmanuel never said that he was your savior. Why must you have interpreters and go-betweens, authorities other than self and "saviors" to take your burden and "save even your soul"? The Evil Adversary King of Deceit also comes calling himself the Prince of Light and the Bright Morning Star. You have to grow beyond the lies of the churches who present the escape route of blood spillage of "saviors" and do-nothing but "believe" raptures. It SIMPLY IS NOT GOING TO WORK THAT WAY--AND YOU ARE CHILDREN OF THE LIE--IN MASONIC TERMS, HOODWINKED! You can't HAVE A SAVIOR for the United States or any other "taken" nation--the nation of citizens have to SAVE THEMSELVES. If you break the laws of GOD (CHRIST LAWS) YOU are among the Antichrist. IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED--GET WITH TRUTH SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT AND WHO HAS BROKEN YOU. THERE IS NO ARGUMENT AGAINST TRUTH, SO DON'T BOTHER YOURSELF.

His name was Emmanuel, then Paul labeled him "Jesus"; however, Emmanuel never said he was THE WAY, it is through the Christ "way" that you are blessed, just like it says in Psalm 1 that you are blessed by obedience to the Law.

Not true, BADecker; you are ignorant about the modern scholarship on the subject. The first Christians were Jews and they did not reject the OT law like Paul did. After the death of Stephen, the Christians siding with the "savior" story fled and preached their doctrine in other lands, at that point they were called "Christ-people" or christianoi and that is when Paul entered the scene.

Those who meditate upon the Law REALIZE their blessings, they are blessed because of their obedience to the Law. It is sufficient to follow the law and meditate upon it; you don't need to add the doctrine of Paul to the Bible's teachings. Paul was a Pharisee who never met Jesus Emmanuel, so he is not the best authority; the Gnostics have an equal claim to true faith, as you can see from the modern scholarship on the subject.
Paul's doctrine is pretty shaky in light of Psalm 1 which states that it is sufficient to follow the law and meditate upon it, so I thank you for pointing that out to me.


Well, I would ask you the same seeing as you still have an unexplained contradiction that you posted in this thread, you refuse to follow-up on the modern scholarly references provided in those audios, and you posit a hidden (occult) motive for when Emmanuel denied being the "Son of God" at his trial.

That teaching of "salvation through Jesus" is the doctrine of Paul, the one who invented the word "Jesus"; it is not the teaching of the rest of the Bible and it is not Emmanuel's teaching; you do not need to assume that "Jesus" is a savior who died for your sins in order to understand the four Gospels.

Ah, but Paul was a persecutor of Christians and a Pharisee, and he never even met Emmanuel; he was not an apostle. So he would not be the best source to go to for the teachings of Emmanuel. The early Christians relied on the apostles who knew Emmanuel, and they did not hold any ideas about a "savior" or salvation through faith. Emmanuel did not claim to be the Son of God, he said "they say as much" at his trial. The passages in the Gospels can be interpreted as discussing the Christ way of goodness, not the personality and being of Emmanuel, who was a man.

Further, Paul alleges that a savior is necessary to be blessed by God, and that denies what is written in Psalm 1; see below.

Psalm 1 expresses that to be blessed by God, it is sufficient to meditate upon God's Law day and night. No wonder then, that the early Christians had no problem with the Jewish teachings and did not need to introduce a "New Law" or a "Jesus" or a "savior" because they KNEW that it was sufficient to meditate upon God's Law, exactly as expressed.

Why do you need to bring the Bible into this? The volume and detailed content of the Phoenix Project writings stands on its own as evidence that God is open; after all, God IS the WORD, so why not this word? Specifically: Why should we choose Paul over Hatonn? Because you would like to be saved through no effort of your own?

I believe that you have stated that the way to be blessed by God is to meditate upon God's Law day and night (Psalms 1). Is that correct?

I believe that you have stated that the way to be blessed by God is to meditate upon God's Law day and night (Psalms 1). Is that correct?

And what prevents you from saying this same thing about the Phoenix Journals?

The fact is that this Grandmother managed to write a 200-page book EVERY 3 WEEKS FOR YEARS, hundreds of books in total.  How was this prodigious output, covering such a wide range of topics, possible?  Please do not be too quick to reject the truthful answer, that she scribed DIRECTLY for our Heavenly Father, exactly as stated.

This is a problem, it is true; it is called the "Content-Source Problem" and it is why each must discern for self and use all available resources to determine the truth, and then simply make a decision one way or the other. It may not be possible to experiment directly upon something originating from another dimension, but this does not mean that you cannot make conclusions about the likely truth of the message and the likely identity of the source.

I have seen no proof that shows that any Bible is completely true.

Your ancient book leaves much to be desired, for example it has confused everyone about "I and my father are one" when really there is NO NEED to be confused about this; Christ came to show us the way, he was not the "Son of God" and he could not "save" anyone because each soul must be responsible for saving self (Psalms 1).

Bible has all kinds of hidden messages, and it has been rewritten, and Paul's teachings were added, and you posit a hidden (occult) motive to explain why Jesus said "they say as much" at his trial. Is this really the unadulterated truth that you claim it is? God is open, the truth is laid bare in the Journals, and your only issue with them is that they contradict the doctrine of Paul. Like I said, Christian Gnosticism has an equal claim to authentic faith, having grown up alongside the mainstream, and the first Christians were merely Jews who believed that Emmanuel was the Jewish Messiah, and this is confirmed by modern scholarship on the subject.

Now, if you had said "investigate the teachings of Christ", I would have been able to agree with you, because that man taught goodness in accord with the Law and the golden rule; hard to disagree with that!

And what prevents you from saying this same thing about the Phoenix Journals?

That may suffice if it were not possible to replicate these studies (#39, #41, and the AWARE study) but since they are repeatable, they qualify as science.

Actually, it does not suffice to cast doubt upon all of these researchers' methods (by way of attacking their integrity) in an attempt to discredit their observations. That is prejudice.

There was 1 verifiable result of veridical perception during a period when the brain absolutely could not function. What is the problem with that conclusion? I think it is remarkable, it definitely needs more study.
52 points support this idea.
The burden of proof is upon skeptics to show how the materialist paradigm can explain the facts surrounding NDE; you have not supplied any scientific evidence to back up your assertion that these stories are made up, indeed there is good science in point #52 and others that refutes this idea, so I do suggest that you first provide a hypothesis that actually fits the observations.

What is the "ability" you refer to?
The survival hypothesis does not propose a purpose or mechanism behind the personality transfer. It stands on its own as a scientific hypothesis without needing a purpose or mechanism.
If you are still confused, I suggest you read A Critique of Arguments Offered Against Reincarnation by Robert Almeder and other books and papers by this author.

Point #39 is valid because Stevenson's research is generally excellent and same goes for most reincarnation research; even a hardened skeptic recently admitted that this evidence was strong. Even Sam Harris made this admission about Stevenson: "Either he is a victim of truly elaborate fraud, or something interesting is going on".

Point #41: Regression during Hypnotherapy is valid evidence; The (5) main reason why at least some of these claims must be considered as evidence are outlined in the link; I am tired of copy-pasting everything from that page into this thread.

It simply will not do to reject all of these qualitative observations. What hypothesis would you use to explain them??

Go and read the Phoenix Journals, starting with Journal #27.
You can also use the search feature on this page; very useful.

You don't understand God? Read the truth about God in the Journals!
I suggest that you print them out to avoid the EMF radiation coming from your computer.
