Paranormal: Science of the Soul (video)

Dr. Claude Swanson (synchronizeduniverse.com), Coast to Coast, 5/20/21; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

MIT and Princeton-trained physicist Dr. Claude Swanson has scientific evidence for spiritual and paranormal aspects of life such as the "soul," afterlife, ectoplasm, orbs, and communication with the deceased.

Spirit voices are sometimes recorded as EVPs or "electronic voice phenomena." Dr. Swanson cites an intriguing case from 1948 in which a Catholic priest was trying to record a mass. The recording instead picked up the voice of the priest's dead father, calling him by his boyhood name.

Ectoplasm is sometimes manifested by some gifted people during seances, Dr. Swanson explains in this radio interview. It is energy that can leave the human body and interact with a torsion field to take on its own life as it interacts with a higher dimension.

The soul, says Dr. Swanson, is primarily made up of torsion energy -- a kind of semi-physical "twisting of space" that can maintain itself over time, even after the physical body dies.

Kirlian photography, he adds, has been able to pick up torsion fields. Dr. Swanson gives as an example the late British spirit voice medium Leslie Flint, who was said to produce voices of the deceased not through his mouth but by his field.

In an early instance, people complained at a movie theatre that voices were emanating from Flint as he sat unaware in the audience, Dr. Swanson recounts, who says a "shift" is coming in the near future (as Edgar Cayce predicted).

It will be brought about by a solar flash (coronal mass ejection) that will damage electronic devices and affect our consciousness. More + AUDIO

Is there a "soul"?
Buddhist Abhidharma says, "There is no soul"? This doesn't mean what most of us think. This is ultimate truth, not the conventional speech we daily use.

Soullessness means egolessness (anatta), the incomprehensible fact that there is no self (no soul, no eternal identity, no thing that crosses over from rebirth to rebirth). Although nearly impossible to understand and certainly impossible to accept, it is directly observable. All things are impersonal, in an ultimate sense.
This is the unique teaching of supremely-enlightened buddhas. No other kinds of teachers teach such a thing. This being true there is no reason to be selfish, cling to things, hate things, or tenaciously hold views.

There is a soul?
Look at all these "souls" (devas)
But there is a "soul," in a conventional way of speaking. It is useful to distinguish our limited personality now in our forgetful state, reborn into this dense reality, from the more far-seeing version of the personality and its long history of karma and rebirths.

The latter could be called a "soul" or "higher self" without misunderstanding or misconstruing the words as referring to anything eternal (such as is found in the Abrahamic and other Dharmic religions).

The soul is not eternal or unchanging (insofar as it is constantly changing at every moment like a blinking florescent bulb that seems to be in one steady state of only being on).

Rob Schwartz was previously on C2C.
The Vedas of the Brahmins would have us believe that Brahman is the ultimate reality behind the illusion (maya) we observe.

And Hindu-Mahayana Buddhists are sure it is "consciousness" itself, when consciousness is a process not a static thing, a verb not a noun.

If one can allow the use of "soul" without misapprehending what is being spoken of, then it becomes very useful to listen to researchers like Claude Swanson, Rob Schwartz, and others.

Dr. Swanson explains that the soul is a "torsion," an expression of energy, semi-physical. Evidence offered for an afterlife consists in part of EVP (electronic voice phenomena).

Dr. Swanson’s latest book, Science of the Soul, the Afterlife and the Shift, addresses some of the deepest questions every human being asks:
  • Do we have a soul?
  • Does it live forever?
  • What happens after we die?
  • If there is a heaven, WHERE IS IT?
Dr. Swanson scientifically analyzes these questions and finds overwhelming evidence that the soul and afterlife are quite real. More: Synchronized Universe: New Science of the Paranormal.
