This week I'm reading from are the book 'Living In Two worlds' by Lisa Savoy and Sharon Hewett Rawlett's BICS prize winning essay 'Beyond Death: The Best Evidence for the Survival of Human Consciousness'.Sharon Hewett RawlettDoes consciousness continue after death? For 150 years, scientists, doctors, and other highly qualified investigators have carefully collected evidence in hopes of answering this question. In this award-winning essay, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette analyzes the best of that evidence to date.Starting with third-person phenomena such as after-death apparitions, mediumship, and telephone calls from the dead and moving on to first-person phenomena like near-death experiences, memories of previous lives, and memories of the period between lives, Rawlette lays out the vast landscape of evidence for life beyond the grave. She argues that extensive cross-validation between first- and third-person evidence cripples the strongest skeptical arguments brought against each type considered alone. Ultimately, she concludes that the survival of consciousness is the best explanation for the evidence taken as a whole and considers what implications this has for our understanding of the world we live in, even while we are still on this side of death.Both readable and rigorous, Beyond Death is a fascinating distillation of a century and a half of afterlife research.BioSharon is an analytically trained philosopher (PhD from New York University, 2008) who specializes in metaethics and the metaphysics and epistemology of paranormal experiences. My most recent scholarly publication is on the topic of the statistical significance of psychic coincidences and their implications for belief in psychic causation. Her past publications include The Feeling of Value (2016), a defense of analytic descriptivism in ethics, and "What do our intuitions about the experience machine really tell us about hedonism?" (2010).https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NP32SRP/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0https://sharonrawlette.wordpress.com/https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/contest_winners3.phpLisa Savoy"I urge you to read her book with an open mind and heart, and ask yourself: ‘What if it were true?’ A brave woman, and one who needed to get her message out. Extraordinary? Yes. Terrifying? Definitely. If you eliminate all other explanations you may be left with one that, however fantastic, is probably true.”Wes G, Roberts. Abductee + Experiencer, Consultant, Author ofIntersections and An Experiencer’s Garden.“With the release of her debut book, Lisa Savoy has peeled the veneer off of extra-terrestrial experiences, and fearlessly explored the “duality” of the fascinating and complex lives that Experiencers lead. As research shows, most individuals who have had encounters of high strangeness are, in fact, lifelong experiencers.”Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, Certified Clinical Master Hypnotherapist,Author and Co-Host of “CONTACT TV”, Researcher.Lisa Savoy lives in Windsor, Ontario with her two boys and her beloved husband. She encountered the Greys, whom she called “the little people”, during childhood. She has also had contact with the Reptilians, the Men in Black, and a Nordic, Angie.
