Paranormal Stories Ep96

This week I'm reading from David Gaggin's book 'Our Eternal Existence: A Metaphysical Perspective of Reality'. Our Eternal Existence takes the many disparate scientific, religious, and metaphysical principles into account and answers the questions: Who are we? Where are we? and Why are we here? In so doing, it provides a much-needed ethical philosophy to guide mankind - and a personal methodology to improve our lives. Bio I received Bachelor of Science and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. I spent 16 years designing and managing flight control systems, avionics and cockpits for The Boeing Company. I then joined the US Government’s Senior Executive Service where I spent nine years in various director positions for the US Army and NASA research and development organizations. For the last 16 years of my business career I was the CEO of Cobham Defense Electronic Systems Corp, a company I founded and grew into the world’s leading defense microwave corporation, which at my retirement had a billion dollars in annual sales and over 3500 employees. However, throughout my business career I spent my spare time seeking answers to questions like: who was I, where was I, and why was I here. I studied all the great religions in an attempt to learn the nature of their origin and their founding principles. Philosophy seemed like a fertile source of wisdom so I started in the West with the ancient Greeks like Plato and Pythagoras and worked my way up to Emerson. I then studied Eastern philosophies, which offered excellent insights. Curiously, it seemed the older the philosophy the more enlightened it was. Mainstream science was part of my education so I was exposed to those tenets early in life and often. But science focuses on the physical world and I figured if the source of the physical world is spiritual, then finding reality’s truths without considering its spiritual aspects would be a futile effort. I concluded that if religion, science and philosophy could not construct a rational view of reality, then the answers needed to come from elsewhere. I found that for centuries psychics, mediums, channels, remote viewers, near-death experiencers, etc., had been offering a fascinating and consistent perspective on the spiritual world from first-hand experiences, and usually by highly reliable sources. But like any source, verifying the reliability of ESP reports was paramount. After sifting through reams of data, a consistent pattern of potential truth began to emerge that separated itself from the rest of the information. After retiring from the business world I wrote The Endless Journey and for two years I hosted The Common Sense Spirituality Show, which was a weekly Internet radio program, where I was exposed to a group of fascinating people. I also did a weekly podcast called Aspects of Spirituality, and hosted the Sanibel Metaphysical Meetup Group. After a lifetime of study not only did the multitude of disparate information begin to make sense, it turned out to be a truly good news story. I always had the feeling that truth would be positive, but the answers I found were far beyond my wildest dreams.
