Featuring a talk by Douglas Kinney
“Exploring Heaven and the Afterlife.”
Our August program will feature a talk by Silver Spring author, researcher, Newton trained LBL (Life-Between-Lives) therapist and blogger Douglas Kinney.
What (if anything) happens to us when we die? Does some aspect of our consciousness continue? Is there a soul or an afterlife? Is heaven real? Is reincarnation real? These questions and more are the focus of Douglas Kinney’s seminal book, Frontiers of Knowledge: Scientific and Spiritual Sources for a New Era, and will be the focus of our August program.
Organized religions address these subjects as well, but most offer no empirical information about them.
Douglas Kinney’s educational, professional and career background is in science, engineering and systems analysis,
and he approaches these seemingly unapproachable subjects from these perspectives.
Before embarking on his quest to find answers to life’s seemingly unanswerable questions, Doug spent many years working as a systems analyst for Office of the Secretary of Defense, then for Northrop Grumman and other defense contractors, and finally for Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory.
Doug’s scientific and analytical grounding informs his approach to these subjects and brings to it a seldom seen degree of credibility. Doug’s hypothesis is that through systematic analysis and integration of various information sources, including NDEs, LBL accounts, past-life accounts and others, we now have available to us substantial data and ever greater insights about the afterlife, the existence and nature of souls, the “sociology” of the soul realm, the purpose of incarnating on a physical plane, etc. If these subjects are ever to be demystified and de-woo wooed, it will take people like Douglas Kinney to do it, and we are very pleased to have him as our August 15 guest speaker.
