SCIENCE IS THE BRIDGE TO UNDERSTANDING SPIRITUALITY
|
Understanding spiritual neuroscience and neurotheology is the gateway to the long-awaited reunion of science and spirituality. Science is in the middle of a Thomas Kuhn paradigm shift, which is being driven by clinical research on near-death experiences, mediumship, remote viewing, functional neurogenesis, and other topics that cannot be explained by the old materialistic paradigm. The science of the 21st century, which reasonably speculates that consciousness is the organizing principle of reality, is the gateway to understanding these well-documented phenomena. When we understand reality as an information-based universe, we can finally achieve Francis Crick's vision that "science can study the existence of the soul."

BICS CHALLENGE ISSC REPORT
An Investigation into the Current Status of the Spiritual Progress of Humanity, as Ascertained by Interviewing 19 Mediums
ISSC participated in the BICS Challenge, a ground-breaking research program created by the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies to support research into both the survival of human consciousness after physical death and the nature of the afterlife.
The ISSC team used a revolutionary approach using Spiritual Sight (Remote Viewing) and giving the following BICS questions as numbers to assure that the mediums objectively contacted the Other Side and were not influenced by the questions:
1. “Since 1857, has the Other Side failed and Mankind failed to achieve good progress in securing human spirituality? If so, are bad spirits and bad humans winning? (given to the mediums as 621055219)
2. Explain to people on Earth why the Other Side has not failed in fostering spiritual evolution. (given to the mediums as 292846648)
3. What difference has the Other Side made in the past 166 years in influencing humans to accelerate their spiritual progress? (given to the mediums as 879610310)
4. To what extent have earthbound spirits since 1857 impeded, sabotaged, or distorted the progress of human spiritual evolution? (given to the mediums as 106261065)

OTHER ISSC PROJECTS
Up to now, ISSC has financed, conducted, and promoted different projects and studies in the fields of:
1) Spiritual Neuroscience: an understanding of the hardware of spiritual understandings, including the right temporal lobe, our "god spot," which connects our brains to the divine.
2) Controlled Remote viewing (Spiritual Sight) is considered to be a window into the near-death experience. With the support of Lyn Buchanan, he has developed Applied Remote Viewing, which explores medical applications of remote viewing.
3) Reiki and energetic healing
4) Applications of near-death experiences to death and dying, hospice, and the cultural
understanding of death.
