Biocentrism shocked the world with a radical rethinking of the nature of reality.

But that was just the beginning.

In Beyond Biocentrism, acclaimed biologist Robert Lanza, one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in 2014,” and leading astronomer Bob Berman, take the reader on an intellectual thrill-ride as they re-examine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself.

The first step is acknowledging that our existing model of reality is looking increasingly creaky in the face of recent scientific discoveries. Science tells us with some precision that the universe is 26.8 percent dark matter, 68.3 percent dark energy, and only 4.9 percent ordinary matter, but must confess that it doesn’t really know what dark matter is and knows even less about dark energy. Science is increasingly pointing toward an infinite universe but has no ability to explain what that really means. Concepts such as time, space, and even causality are increasingly being demonstrated as meaningless.

All of science is based on information passing through our consciousness but science hasn’t the foggiest idea what consciousness is, and it can’t explain the linkage between subatomic states and observation by conscious observers. Science describes life as an random occurrence in a dead universe but has no real understanding of how life began or why the universe appears to be exquisitely designed for the emergence of life.

Biocentrism isn’t a rejection of science. Quite the opposite. Biocentrism challenges us to fully accept the implications of the latest scientific findings in fields ranging from plant biology and cosmology to quantum entanglement and consciousness.

By listening to what the science is telling us, it becomes increasingly clear that life and consciousness are fundamental to any true understanding of the universe. This forces a fundamental rethinking of everything we thought we knew about life, death, and our place in the universe.

Death: A Philosophical Inquiry

Death: A Philosophical Inquiry by Paul Fairfield
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0415837618, 0415837626 | 148 pages | PDF + EPUB | 0,7 + 2,2 MB

From Nietzsche’s pronouncement that “God is dead” to Camus’ argument that suicide is the fundamental question of philosophy, the concept of death plays an important role in existential phenomenology, reaching from Kierkegaard to Heidegger and Marcel.

This book explores the phenomenology of death and offers a unique way into the phenomenological tradition. Paul Fairfield examines the following key topics:

the modern denial of death

Heidegger’s important concept of ‘being-toward-death’ and its centrality in phenomenological ideas, such as authenticity and existence

the philosophical significance of death rituals: what explains the imperative toward ritual around death, and what is its purpose and meaning?

death in an age of secularism

the philosophy and ethics of suicide

death as a mystery rather than a philosophical problem to be solved

the relationship between hope and death.

Death: A Philosophical Inquiry is essential reading for students of phenomenology and existentialism, and will also be of interest to students in related fields such as religion, anthropology and the medical humanities.

The Majesty of Death: Auschwitz"s Paranormal Secrets

The Majesty of Death: Auschwitz’s Paranormal Secrets by Amy Cravitz
English | March 16, 2016 | ASIN: B01D3QEL5C | 28 Pages | AZW3/MOBI/EPUB/PDF (conv) | 1.84 MB

In this bone chilling installment, Amy uncovers a diary that speaks of the unspeakable. While the abominations at Auschwitz were continuing unabated, there were rumors that there were spiritual and supernatural things going on that were as hidden as they were unexplained. Amy has come across a few diaries that mention this. And what exactly is “this?”

“This,” is the whispering tale of ‘shadows,’ ‘ghosts,’ and things best not discussed with the lights on.

Was there some kind of divine intervention taking place at the death camps? A kind of grouping of angels that hovered above the mistreated Jewish masses, waiting to claim souls for the afterlife? A lot of confusion surrounds such supernatural suppositions. In this installment, we read of one prisoner’s barracks where the so called shadows seemed to foretell the onslaught of approaching death. Prophetic angels? Spooky shadows seen by tormented and overworked imaginations? Frazzled minds that manufactured such dubious bumps in the night? Not much evidence of these shadowy angels exist, but in “The Majesty of Death,” Amy translates a diary that seems to bring these ‘shadows’ front and centre. Most historians and war crimes experts tend to ignore and even deny the existence of such ‘shadows’ as fake and fanciful literature. We don’t know much, if anything about these shadows that supposedly visited some prisoners who were at the brink of death. Amy has simply translated the diary as it was written, and in doing so, she lets you decide for yourself what credence, if any, should be giving to the existence of such supernatural entities.
