Dr. Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona has spent much of his career exploring paranormal phenomena shunned by the vast majority of his colleagues. He is the author of numerous books on paranormal topics and has conducted a number of high-profile experiments with astonishing results. It’s almost a miracle in its own right that he has avoided scandal and has managed to retain his employment as a tenured faculty member. Were his career and the careers of his close compatriots protected and facilitated by the divine realm? Why are there so few like Gary Schwartz as such open-minded academic scholars appear to be even rarer than the mediums he’s studied? What can Creator tell us?

Dr. Schwartz and colleagues conducted a number of experiments with high profile mediums in the late nineties that resulted in both a book, The Afterlife Experiments: Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death, and an HBO special entitled “Life Afterlife.” The experiments were conducted in such a way, that no truly objective mind could dismiss the findings as essentially proving beyond a reasonable doubt, that these mediums were legitimately able to see, hear and communicate readily with the dead. What is Creator’s perspective?

The HBO special “Life Afterlife” was another story, however. Dr. Schwartz wrote: “HBO had made a beautiful, inspiring show. But the science was sandwiched in the middle and lost nearly all its impact. We had expected that the show would leave the audience feeling ‘Science can be brought to bear on these issues,’ and ‘Wow, those mediums were tested by science and actually were found to be doing what they claimed.’ Instead, the show was good entertainment but little more. We had thought HBO really cared about the science, but discovered what the producers most wanted was to see how many people were crying when the lights went up. After all, HBO didn’t really care about making a scientific statement.” In fact, HBO had given almost as much air time to skeptics, as they did Dr. Schwartz’s experiments. The producers apparently believed they were being “professional and fair” giving equal time to skeptics and therefore creating a “balanced” presentation. But in this case, it seems a “balanced” presentation is simply sinister. What is Creator’s perspective?

During the experiments, at one point Dr. Schwartz’s own mother was trying to come through and was overpowering the other dead people who were scheduled to make an appearance. This seemed to convey how little actual “control” the medium had over the channels of communication. It seemed the dead were more successful at establishing and controlling the boundaries of communication than the medium himself. Is this one of the reasons why divine partnership is so critical when one works with non-local consciousness?

Also, during the experiments, there were a few occasions where one medium or another simply could not communicate with the dead people associated with a particular sitter. They simply got “nothing” the way most people would. Yet, a different medium would have no trouble with that sitter at all. It was summed up as the particular medium simply “wasn’t right” for that particular sitter. Yet that medium would have profound success with other sitters. Can Creator explain why this “all or nothing” anomaly occurred?

One thing notably absent from the experiments was the entire notion of reincarnation. Nor was there any distinction made, or awareness of different states or conditions the dead might be communicating from. We know that one of three who die end up in limbo. Yet all the dead communicating appeared to be doing so from the same “place.” What was the reality of the dead in that set of experiments? Were all in the light? If so, were rescues performed for some prior to the experiments, and if so, by whom? Did the experiment itself act as a kind of “rescue entreaty” that enabled the divine to step in and “set the table” ahead of time? Or, indeed, were some in the light and some in limbo, even though there was no indication of such status during the experiments? What can Creator tell us?

The question of corruption is a compelling one. The mediumship on display and being tested in the experiments was “garden variety” in the sense it was focused on family and personal relationship issues more than anything, and therefore presumably of little interest to the interlopers. However, if the experiment had attempted to explore more expansive issues, such as GetWisdom explores, would extraterrestrial psychics have “jumped in” and taken over the channel much like Dr. Schwartz’s own mother did?

Dr. Schwartz wrote about what he called “skeptomania” and “voodoo skepticism.” He wrote, “It’s one thing to be skeptical – open to alternative hypotheses. It’s another to be devoutly skeptical – always ‘knowing’ that cheating, lying, fraud, and deception are the explanations for any not-yet-explainable phenomena.” Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help reduce the ranks of the “devoutly skeptical?”
