Welcome to the last episode of Season 4! What is an extraordinary experience? In their book, “Convergence: The Interconnection of Extraordinary Experiences,” our guests Barbara Mango, Phd. and Lynn Miller explain: “Extraordinary Experiences are those which occur beyond our five senses, time, and space. Such occurrences include Near-death Experiences, Out-of-Body Experiences, Past-life Memories, Paranormal Encounters, Contact with Non-Human Intelligences, Telepathy, Pre-cognition, etc. Regardless of the type of extraordinary experience, all are utterly transformational. It is only when we open our minds and hearts to embrace experiences which lay beyond our three-dimensional world, that we may begin to explore the very nature of consciousness.”In this episode, we discuss: How Barbara & Lynn met by working together in astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s research group. The understanding that consciousness is non-local, which is the basis for all these different types of extraordinary experiences.Why it was important for them to include the science behind these experiences and provide a balanced approach for experiencer and skeptic.Which personality types are more prone to having extraordinary experiences?What are some of the challenges and benefits of how these experiences change a person?Barbara’s first experience with a non-physical being at 2 years old.How, as a child, Barbara’s spontaneous remembrance of a past life immediately healed her in this life.Lynn shares about her spontaneous out-of-body experiences and how she learned controlled OBEs.Some techniques for OBE.How the materialist assumption in science has limited the research on consciousness.Telepathy and quantum entanglement.The strong evidence for non-local consciousness based on Near Death experiences of the congenitally blind.Barbara and Lynn’s debut book, “Convergence: The Interconnection of Extraordinary Experiences” is now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. The authors take readers on extraordinary, life-altering voyages beyond time and space. One that is consistently described by experiencers as “realer than real,” powerfully loving, and forever life-altering. Near-death, out-of-body experiences, contact with non-human intelligent beings, and past-life recall are examples of such journeys. Barbara and Lynn explore each modality from their personal encounters, backed by cutting-edge science. Learn more by visiting their website https://www.extraordinaryexperiences.org/.
