If Contemplation which introduces us to the very heart of creation does not inflame us with such love that it gives us, together with deep joy, the understanding of the infinite misery of the world, it is a vain kind of contemplation; it is the contemplation of a false God. The sign of true contemplation is charity. By the capacity for forgiveness shall I recognize your God and also your opening to creation.

MARIUS GROUT, French Quaker

WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS? How can the mind o’erleap its physical senses and move into realms remote to eye and ear? And if it can, then where or when does this awareness end?

I’m fascinated by what happens to us when we die. I’m not afraid of dying (though terrified of the pain that may accompany it; horrified also at the prospect of becoming a burden to my children, an Alzheimer’s vegetable “sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything,” including continence and, most important, consciousness, by which I mean awareness of what is happening around me, of the glass of water at my hand, the light in the soap bubbles in the kitchen sink, the faces of my beloved children and their kids). I accept without question the reality of intuition, telepathy, premonitions, presentiment, and psychic or paranormal experiences. I accept also the concept of spirits and invisible guardians watching over us, of angels and a spiritual medium in which we live like fish in water, and later in this book I will speak about sensitives and psychics and the difference between them and the mediums who see spirits and ghosts. Meanwhile, I keep tight hold for the moment on this topic of intuition in its narrowest sense. What’s interesting about precognition and intuition and other forms of psi is the number of people who believe they’ve had at least one experience. Present understanding of our brains leaves no room for these phenomena.
