Soulless clones will arrive in the near future and change everything. A clone without a soul will reveal, once and for all, that we humans have souls. Dualism is true - we are body and soul. Materialism is false - we are not just a body. Soulless clones can't tell time because souls tell time. The mega theory in this book also reveals the schools of Philosophy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Science, Judaism, Christianism, Islamism, and Taoism share a core belief in Trinitarianism. Trinitarianism tells us things come in threes. These great schools teach us that we follow three drives in life: creation - we let the truth be known; worship - we are good for goodness sake; and survival - we live and let live. The schools say we must balance creation, worship, and survival to advance on our coiled path in life to the perfection of God - The Divine Providence, Spirit, and Physique. Previous authors have already provided an assortment of mega theories including Plato, Aquinas, Maimonides, Hume, and Kant, but their theories routinely exclude significant portions of our longstanding Theologies, Philosophies, and Sciences. The mega theory within is more inclusive. No stones go unturned. Who is God? What are we doing? And why are we doing it? This theory includes Evolution, The Three Wise Men, The EPR Effect in Quantum Mechanics, The Divine Ratio, and Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man - he plays a role in presenting the coiled path before us. Other authors including Descartes, Kirk, Searle, Chalmers, and more recently Hauser have proposed hypothetical soulless creatures in the likes of computerized humans and philosophical zombies to help delineate Dualism from Materialism, but their creatures are far too hypothetical to be taken seriously. Soulless clones of humans, however, must be taken seriously because they will arrive in just a few decades, and they are true counterexamples of materialisms claims. So, we should be prepared, and this book helps prepare us. It is a relaxed narrative written with the excitement of discovery. The young and old will find it's easy to read whether atheist, deist, or theist. It should appeal to not only Catholics, my religion, but all theologians, philosophers, and scientists will find it's hard to put down. Parents will love it, along with those in Business, Medicine, Law, Education, Politics and more. It's comparable to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Tipping Point, The World's Religions, and the recent Pulitzer Prize winner, The Swerve. Like Orwell's 1984, everyone loves a book that predicts future trends.
Exposes the agenda behind the bio-robotic grey aliens’ genetic manipulation of certain human races • Reveals the Grey’s nature as sophisticated self-aware machines created by a long vanished extraterrestrial civilization • Explains how their quest to capture human souls appears in the historical record from biblical times • Explains how the phenomenon of racism is a by-product of their genetic tampering In 1997 Nigel Kerner first introduced the notion of aliens known as Greys coming to Earth, explaining that Greys are sophisticated biological robots created by an extraterrestrial civilization they have long since outlived. In this new book Kerner reveals that the Greys are seeking to master death by obtaining something humans possess that they do not: souls. Through the manipulation of human DNA, these aliens hope to create their own souls and, thereby, escape the entropic grip of the material universe in favor of the timeless realm of spirit. Kerner explains that genetic manipulation by the Greys has occurred since biblical times and has led to numerous negative qualities that plague humanity, such as violence, greed, and maliciousness. Racism, he contends, was developed by the aliens to prevent their genetic experiments from being compromised by breeding with others outside their influence. Examining historical records, Kerner shows that Jesus, who represented an uncorrupted genetic line, warned his disciples about the threat posed by these alien interlopers, while Hitler, a pure product of this alien intelligence, waged genocide in an attempt to rid Earth of all those untouched by this genetic tampering. Despite the powerful grip the Greys have on humanity, Kerner says that all hope is not lost. Greys exist wholly in the material world, so if we follow the spiritual laws of reincarnation and karma, aiming for enlightenment and rising above the material--a state the Greys are unable to reach--we can free ourselves from their grasp.
Here the author of Loving Relationships shares her special insights about the importance of spiritual nourishment of the self and one's relationships--the inner communion that can be achieved by opening up to the lessons of life and love.
The author experienced a freak encounter with the soul of his dead father. This soul stripping incident seemed so real that he could not dismiss it as false. However, he tried to erase the episode from his memory and failed so the impact of the unusual happening kept simmering at the back of his mind. He wanted to get rid from this suppressed mental condition but did not know, how mystical matters, which defy rational explanation are handled, consequently he posted a blog to invite readers to give their opinion on this extrasensory experience. Mario Beauregard, commented on this unexplainable explanation saying that … “Nobody but you can respond to your questions” … Likewise, Dr. Raymond Moody opined that… “These kinds of spiritual experiences are common and do seem to have very long lasting, even life changing effects, on those who experience them, so that would infer that they are real” … Mystery is a big puzzle, the more we try to uncover it, the more elusive it becomes, making the whole exercise complex. Due to lack of clarity, it is difficult, indeed, to sort out facts from fiction, to arrive at a reasonable explanation. After all, death and afterlife are not an intellectual process and mystery has little to do with intelligence. Intellect can ignite curiosity and create various disciplines of logic, philosophy, religion and science, as the search engines, to explore, the vast sea of information. But can it really reveal, wholly or partially, the reality, it seeks to know? Can our three-dimensional view, penetrate the realities of a multi-dimensional world? The Indian sages called it “Turiya”, which literally means the fourth dimension, a state, we know ‘Nothing’ of ‘Something’ that exists, beyond human understanding.
While most people throughout history have believed that we are both physical and spiritual beings, the rise of science has called into question the existence of the soul. Many now argue that neurophysiology demonstrates the radical dependence, indeed, identity, between mind and brain. Advances in genetics and in mapping human DNA, some say, show there is no need for the hypothesis of body-soul dualism. Even many Christian intellectuals have come to view the soul as a false Greek concept that is outdated and unbiblical. Concurrent with the demise of dualism has been the rise of advanced medical technologies that have brought to the fore difficult issues at both edges of life. Central to questions about abortion, fetal research, reproductive techologies, cloning and euthanasia is our understanding of the nature of human personhood, the reality of life after death and the value of ethical or religious knowledge as compared to scientific knowledge. In this careful treatment, J. P. Moreland and Scott B. Rae argue that the rise of these problems alongside the demise of Christian dualism is no coincidence. They therefore employ a theological realism to meet these pressing issues, and to present a reasonable and biblical depiction of human nature as it impinges upon critical ethical concerns. This vigorous philosophical and ethical defense of human nature as body and soul, regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees, will be for all a touchstone for debate and discussion for years to come.
ccording to Scripture, humankind was created in the image of God. Hoekema discusses the implications of this theme, devoting several chapters to the biblical teaching on God's image, the teaching of philosophers and theologians through the ages, and his own theological analysis. Suitable for seminary-level anthropology courses, yet accessible to educated laypeople. Extensive bibliography, fully indexed.

"Everyone who has ever lived continues to exist on the Flipside and if possible, can be asked direct questions." This is the startling premise of "Hacking the Afterlife" which argues it's possible to obtain "new information" from people no longer on the planet. These "afterlife interviews" are conducted via various mediums, with people under deep hypnosis, or with people fully conscious yet able to access and remember details of previous lifetimes. The reports offer practical advice ("afterlife hacks") on how to navigate our lives and improve our planet.Best selling author of '"Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" (also a film) and "It's a Wonderful Afterlife," (both went to #1 at Amazon kindle) frequent guest on "Coast to Coast," explores the Flipside via mediums and other methods, "interviews" a variety of people who are no longer on the planet. Interviews with someone who claims to be Edgar Cayce "sleeping prophet," three different mediums who claim to be able to speak to Amelia Earhart, "conversations" with Robin Williams, the Artist formerly known as Prince, and a number of people who claim to have known the person known worldwide as the "Alpha and the Omega." The Author explores these accounts with an open mind, and invites the reader to do the same. Quotes for the book from the people who were interviewed:*"This book will have people questioning their own disbeliefs and belief paradigms. It's a translation of the ethers." Edgar Cayce via medium JenniferShaffer.com*"Good luck to you for making the unbelievable claim that there even is an afterlife. " Howard Schultz, friend who passed away recently.*"They should read your book if they want to fly. It makes the reader open up. It's beautiful written music, Rich." The Artist formerly known as Prince Rogers Nelson.*"Two words; "Love, Love." The key ingredient for happiness is to love the love; love love, and then send it to everything." Robin Williams via Jennifer Shaffer.* "Lift this book to your soul. And see what your soul has to say. Hearing the words from the book; don't judge it, just listen to your spirit. It will guide you and tell you that the "unthinkable" is real. Laughing is the best medicine. Don't waste time trying to dig up things." Amelia Earhart (who proves in this book that she died in Saipan during the war)*"More people will be changed by your words than the ones who can't hear what you're saying. It is a challenge frequency that always hurts initally." From the person known as the Alpha and the Omega.
