With this pandemic of the corona virus, and the havoc it is producing in the entire world, it was a missed opportunity for those that are out to scientifically prove reincarnation, and who claim to have direct access to the astral realm. Especially those that claim to have a specific mission...

There are two that resonate for my soul. The first one is strictly an instrumental and a sort of vibration confirmation, and whose title relates to the second song's title, as the lyrics is a revelation of sort, as I have always resonated with Socrates/Plato, and considered myself a philosopher...

I'm playing the devil's advocate again. And I'm throwing this out at large, aiming at all those who are determined to show to the skeptical world the scientific proof for reincarnation. Specifically, I'm aiming at those who also claim to have direct and frequent contact with spiritual guides...

John, Man's imagination is like iron, which can be shaped into a sword, or a plowshare. And as far as https://4dforum.org/the-psychology-of-soul-harvesting/ it's definitely nonsense, as I agree with you, if I read it correctly. I would say that it's more like supernatural fiction, a work of a...

If it's not just my wishful imagination playing with me, I can say that, from time to time, my favorite uncle has been contacting me from the other side, ever since he left this physical world 22 years ago. And today marks the tenth anniversary that I came to give it credence, seriously. Or...

In my opinion, Dickens was a master at observing and also reading other previous great authors from many fields of expertise, to then adapt his observations from actual physical conditions as well as literature to his novels. If that is plagiarism, then we are all plagiarists, as I hinted before...

Ouch! Watch were you are stepping. I think you may be right about what has been will be again. But then, one is apt to think that you are plagiarizing too! But, in my opinion, it has to be asked, have we not all been here before, and will be again, and again, and again,......and again? Is...

It was not a statement of plagiarism, as it was a matter of corroboration that Dickens was familiar with Plato's writings. And this was to provide a possible source as to where Dickens may have gotten his ideas for writing some of his novels, if his ideas were indeed borrowed/suggested and not...

Abstract: Throughout his canon, Dickens significantly adapts the writing on the wall from Daniel 5, often haunted by Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" wall in The Republic, to illustrate spectral "truths" requiring the reader's comparable intertextual interpretation. The shared components of what...

Are NDE accounts, arguably, a better fit for Dickens' source in writing A Christmas Carol than a far-fetched, unsubstantiated, unfounded, uncorroborated, whimsical, claim of plagiarizing from Matthew F. Whittier? Because that is what we are commenting on, a claim, or rather, a part of the...

I'm not quite certain that I understand your points, and how they relate to the researcher claiming that an established and renowned historical figure such as Dickens plagiarized from an obscure and nearly unknown, and definitely, not an accredited small town humorist. The point remains that...

Academically speaking, I'm expressing my opinion on the opinion that has been put forth on plagiarism. Here, I'm only addressing your claim that Dickens plagiarized the Christmas Carol. I believe that you may have point. However, if it's a case of plagiarism, it seems that, perhaps, Dickens...

For those looking for clues into who they were in their past lives. No one will give us the benefit of the doubt, when it comes to reincarnation. Here is something that needs to be addressed by those which place a lot of weight on physical resemblance as being one of the major corroborative...

The following link is one where a compromise if sought by two who are of opinions which are in 180 degrees opposition, and are seeking further understanding of what consciousness is to each of them. Further, they are attempting to find just where consciousness is, or from whence it comes from...

Here is another link for a discussion on the nature of reality, and subjective and objective circumstances on Ultimate Reality.
