The Afterlife Experiments (and Others), Dr. Gary Schwartz's work Options

[Furkidlets' Mom]

Not sure if you believe in consciousness surviving physical death?

If you have Quicktime 7, you can listen to an interview with Dr. Gary Schwartz (University of Arizona) talk about his formal scientific work on the Afterlife Experiments and the "positive" results that were found to support this reality. While this doesn't deal with animal consciousness per se (because they were testing for human consciousness), many other works also support the fact that ANY being with consciousness is a 'bundle' of conscious energy as well, and therefore we can reasonably extrapolate these results to include our sentient friends.

To find this interview, scroll down to the "Oct./05" section and click on "Dr. Gary Schwartz on the Afterlife." (note: there are many other extremely interesting and enlightening interviews on this site as well, that you may also wish to check out). This particular interview is about 1/2 hour long. Dr. Schwartz also has his own website and you can also Google the "Afterlife Experiments" to find out more.

VERY cool!! It's also interesting that some showed up even in a bar, because as Miceal suggested in his talk, they are most prone to gathering in places/events of spiritual energy &/or positive feelings....but not SO 'positive' that people have become 'blotto' from too much good wine! Maybe that's why they were closer to YOU, Mr. Moderation!

If you took a look at his book cover (on his website), it's easy to see how your own orb pics have the same characteristics as his hundreds of thousands. He also explained, in scientific terms, why some are different colours or shapes. It's related to what levels or planes of existence they've 'zipped' in from, as well as what's actually going on on this plane at the time....very interesting stuff. Here are some more of his pics that you might be interested in seeing here.

There were dozens in his mini-movie and likely even more in his fuller-length movie, which I'm sure is listed on his site as well; I bought the one book instead, to start, just cuz I like to read and make side notes and otherwise thoroughly mess up my books! Most of his pics show literally hundreds or more orbs all within a given (often small) space, some in that rounded form but some more plasma-like or forming en masse into vortexes. In some pics you could barely even see HIM anymore, for all the orbs surrounding him and the space. It was astonishing.

It also struck me as quite compelling that when he was discussing this story about the horse family member, he kept looking straight into MY eyes (we were in the front row right in front of him), as if he knew I was his most avid listener at that point. He also looked straight at me when he asked the audience whether we thought animals would be included with us at that "zero point" start to consciousness and life. I just smiled back at him, knowing he'd be telling us, "yes", it is so. (most of the audience, btw, was very obviously nervous about answering his question....the bias was as thick as pea soup)
