At jesus’ death on the cross as aN ATONING sin sacrifice the curtain of the temple wAS TORN IN TWO (luke 23:45). IT WAS LOCATED BETWEEN THE HOLY PLACE AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE. ITS TEARING SYMBOLIZED cHRIST’S OPENING THE WAY DIRECTLY TO GOD FOR ALL PEOPLE. THE MOST HOLY PLACE IS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PERSONAL GOD. HISTORICally, the levitical priest stood and performed his religious duties, offering sacrifices which could never take away sins. “but when [Jesus] had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of god. since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, becAUSE BY ONE SACRIFICE HE HAS MADE PERFECT FOREVER THOSE WHO ARE BEING MADE HOLY. THE HOLY SPIRIT ALSO TESTIFIES TO US ABOUT THIS. FIRST HE SAYS: THIS IS THE COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THAT TIME, SAYS THE LORD. I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR HEARTS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR MINDS. THEN HE ADDS: THEIR SINS AND LAWLESS ACTS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.” (HEBREWS 10:12-17)

IT IS MY PRAYER THAT THE INFORMATION I HAVE SHARED IN MY BOOKS AND BLOG POSTS PROVIDES COMPELLING EVIDENCE FOR THE PERSONAL COMMUNION AVAILABLE BETWEEN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND SOUL IN OUR TIME. WE UNDERSTAND BETTER HOW THIS DUALIST INTERACTION TAKES PLACE INVOLVING THE NEURAL SYNAPTIC NETWORKS OF THE BRAIN. IT IS BIDIRECTIONAL, GIVING REPENTANT PEOPLE ACCESS TO THE MOST HOLY PLACE IN FAITH.

In my books and blog posts I have presented compelling evidence for dualist interaction between the immaterial mind, including the Mind of God in whose image the human mind was created, and the material components of the neural synaptic networks of the brain.  Wave forms carrying encoded information within their amplitudes, frequencies and shapes are generated by a mind and transmitted across neural synapses and through synchronous neural networks to bring about intended actions.  The mind of humans learns to interpret the neural codes beginning at birth, and probably prior to birth, and interpretations are archived in memory with its own wave functions.  Dualist interaction involves causality between a mind/Mind and the neural networks so that motor, sensory and cognitive activities result.  The waves of interest are nonmaterial and are coordinated with electrochemical action potentials that interact with molecular components in neural ionic channels and synaptic vesicular structures via quantum tunneling.  The details of this complex process have been addressed in my writings, referencing some of the latest findings in the neurosciences.

But is the mind of humans dependent solely upon neural mechanics?  I have discussed near death and out of body experiences which involve the recall of items, individuals, activities and communications during times when patients are officially declared dead for variable lengths of time.  In these instances, it is not possible for the brain to establish neural memory codes!  Nevertheless, in revived patients, situations observed and communications received were specifically recalled.  So, does the immaterial mind itself have the capacity to establish and retain memory codes?  God, who is Spirit, has a Mind with the capacity for transmitting images (visions, dreams), verbal communications, physical outcomes and memories, so it is reasonable to presume that the human mind also has such capacities.  And the next question is what role nonmaterial wave forms play?  Do the items, communications, individuals and activities experienced during NDE emit and transmit specified information having meaning within the energy of nonmaterial wave forms that are received and interpreted by the immaterial mind of humans? 

I refer you to my March 1, 2024 blog post in which I cited Dr. Dembski, “WHO STATED THAT INFORMATION IS DYNAMIC, PASSING IN, THROUGH AND OUT OF [BOLD TYPE ADDED] MATTER, WHICH ITSELF CAN BE REDUCED TO INFORMATION THAT IS INSTANTIATED WITHIN IT. HE STATED THAT “ANYTHING THAT EXHIBITS INFORMATION NEEDED AT SOME POINT TO BE IMPARTED WITH INFORMATION.  WHAT CAUSES INFORMATION TO UNDERGO SUCH DYNAMIC TRANSFORMATIONS? . . . ENERGY.” ENERGY IS ALWAYS INFERRED FROM INFORMATION, ACCORDING TO DEMBSKI.  ENERGY IS THE “CAUSAL GLUE” THAT CONNECTS ITEMS OF INFORMATION IN AN INFORMATIONAL UNIVERSE.

I ASKED IN MY BOOK IF IT IS REASONABLE THAT A TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION WOULD HAVE NO MATERIAL BASIS?  DEMBSKI STATED THAT MATERIAL ENERGY IS A FORM OF ENERGY “BUT NOT . . . COEXTENSIVE WITH THE WHOLE OF ENERGY.” DEMBSKI POINTED OUT THAT DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF AN INTERVENING PHYSICAL PROCESS AS MEDIUM, INFORMATION RELATIONSHIPS CAN STILL HOLD.  ARE THERE INFORMATION TRANSFERS THAT TRANSCEND MATERIAL MEDIA THROUGH A NONMATERIAL FORM OF ENERGY?  DEMBSKI CITED NDE AS AN EXAMPLE OF INFORMATION TRANSFERS INDUCED BY NONMATERIAL ENERGY.  IN A NUMBER OF CASES REPORTS OF EXPERIENCES OF PATIENTS HAVING NDE HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GUESSED.  SUCH EXPERIENCES CONFIRM THAT INFORMATION CAN TRANSFER FROM EVENT, ITEM OR SCENE TO A PATIENT WHILE CLINICALLY DEAD AND IN A LOCATION THAT ON MATERIALISTIC GROUNDS WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PATIENT TO ACCESS THE INFORMATION.

SO, WHAT DOES NONMATERIAL/NON-MECHANICAL ENERGY LOOK LIKE?  A SHORT ARTICLE AT STUDY.COM (HTTPS://HOMEWORK.STUDY.COM/EXPLANATION/WHAT-IS-) ADDRESSES THE QUESTION, WHAT IS A NON-MECHANICAL WAVE?  I QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE, “A NON-MECHANICAL WAVE IS ANY ENERGY WAVE THAT CAN MOVE THROUGH A VACUUM, MEANING IT IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY MOVING THROUGH PHYSICAL MATTER IN THE WAY THAT MECHANICAL WAVES ARE LIMITED.  UNTIL ONLY A FEW DECADES AGO, THE ONLY KNOWN TYPE OF NON-MECHANICAL WAVE WAS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE.  THESE ARE WAVES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY KNOWN AS LIGHT, RADIO WAVES, X-RAYS, AND MICROWAVES.  MORE RECENTLY, ASTROPHYSICISTS PROVIDED THE EXISTENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, WHICH CAN ALSO MOVE THROUGH A VACUUM.”

IT IS MY HYPOTHESIS, RECORDED IN MY BOOKS AND NOW EXTENDED, THAT ENCODED NONMATERIAL WAVE FORMS CONSTITUTE THAT ENERGY TRANSMITTED FROM THE INSTANTIATED INFORMATION OF THE OBSERVED SCENE, ITEM OR EVENT TO THE IMMATERIAL, DISEMBODIED MIND OF AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCING A NDE, A MIND THAT CAN INTERPRET THE ENCODED WAVE FORMS TRANSMITTED FROM THAT WHICH IS PERCEIVED DURING THE EPISODE.  PATIENTS WHO RECOVER FROM NDE POSSIBLY TRANSMIT THE INFORMATION IN THE ENCODED WAVE FORMS TO NEURAL CODES OF SYNAPTIC NETWORKS, ENABLING THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT WHICH WAS SEEN AND EXPERIENCED IN THE NDE.

ARE THE WAVE FORMS THAT ENABLE THE RECALL OF NDE PATIENTS RESTRICTED TO OUR FOUR SPACETIME DIMENSIONS?  IF NDE HAPPEN BEYOND THESE DIMENSIONS, DOES THIS PROCESS APPLY?  MY RESEARCH HAS NOT ADDRESSED SUCH AS THESE QUESTIONS.  THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN ABOUT THE COMMUNION GOD INTENDED TO HAVE WITH MANKIND!

 

i have reviewed the many blogs on my website and am listing a large number by their date of posting that speak directly or indirectly to the points made about near death experiences in the last several blog posts. this list provides evidence that strengthens my hypothesis, extended to address the transmission of specified information via the energy of wave forms in near death experiences:

may 22, (2023), apr 11, 6, 3, mar 31, 30, 22, 1, dec 22, 19, 14, nov 16, 5, 3, 2, oct 28, 26, 18, 17, sept 1, jul 2, may 30, 28, 26, 25, 13, 10, 7, MAR 9, DEC 31, 30, 28

in my book, nerve endings of the soul, i cited Dr. Dembski who stated that information is dynamic, passing in, through and out of matter, which itself can be reduced to information that is instantiated within it. he stated that “anything that exhibits information needed at some point to be imparted with information. what causes information to undergo such dynamic transformations? . . . energy.” energy is always inferred from information, according to dembski. energy is the “causal glue” that connects items of information in an informational universe.

I asked in my book if it is reasonable that a transmission of information would have no material basis? dembski stated that material energy is a form of energy “but not . . . coextensive with the whole of energy.” so what would nonmaterial energy look like? when information is transmitted an information relationship exists between two ends of a communication channel. dembski pointed out that despite the absence of an intervening physical process as medium, information relationships can still hold. are there information transfers that transcend material media through a nonmaterial form of energy? dembski cited nde as an example of information transfers induced by nonmaterial energy. in selected cases reports of experiences of patients having nde have been verified and could not have been guessed. such experiences confirm that information can transfer from event, item or scene to a patient while unconscious and clinically dead and in a location that on materialistic grounds would have been impossible for the patient to access the information.

it is my hypothesis, recorded in my books, that encoded nonmaterial wave forms constitute that energy transmitted from the instantiated information of the observed scene, item or event to the immaterial, disembodied mind of an individual experiencing a nde, a mind that can interpret the encoded wave forms transmitted to the mind from that which is perceived during the episode. i refer the reader to my more recent blog posts in which this topic is addressed. in my next blog they shall be posted.

dr. michael egnor interviewed dr. william dembski about the role of information in the mind-body relationship (https://www.discovery.org/podcast/william-dembski-on-information-and-the-mind-body-relationship/). dembski expained that “information is a verb [which has action], representing the narrowing of possibilities and the constraining of contingency.” Information relates to meaning and communication and “is the most fundamental aspect of reality.” he argued that “information is more real than matter and that even material entities disclose themselves informationally.” dembski argued further “that if information is considered fundamental rather than matter, it dissolves the mind-body problem.” he stated further “the idea of information as a fundamental concept in the natural world, analogous to energy." (https://www.discovery.org/podcast/william-dembski-on-information-and-the-mind-body-relationship/)

in my book, nerve endings of the soul: interaction between the mind of god and the mind of man through neural synaptic networks, i discussed the transmission of information by a proposed nonmaterial energy. i commented on the codification of transmitted information and the relationship between information and energy. I proposed that wave forms represent an immaterial energy that transmits encoded information to a recipient mind having meaning, purpose and structure that is interpreted by the immaterial mind. in my next blog post i shall address the relationship between information and energy and how it could explain the recall of scenes and items seen by one who has a nde.

I have been priviledged to review podcasts from the discovery institute featuring dr. michael egnor and dr. william dembski dealing with the mind-body problem. dr. egnor accepts causal dualist interaction between the immaterial mind and the material body/brain, but he has understandable difficulty understanding how the mind can remember specific items and scenes seen during the nde after consciousness is regained. i have shared what i believe is compelling evidence for a form of cartesian dualist interaction between the mind of god and man and the synaptic networks of the brain, but i have not addressed the mind’s cognitive function during a nde. dr. egnor’s skepticism concerning this process is justified, causing him to have some doubt about the validity of certain elements of cartesian dualism.

in the following blog posts i shall elaborate on this question, drawing from what i have presented in my books and blogs. i will share a proposal that is an extension of my hypothesis for dual interaction presented in my books and in a number of my more recent blog posts. the proposal suggests a role for wave forms in this process, and information plays a fundamental role.

I am posting romans 5:1-5 to follow my last blog posts from dr. pinkham’s book since these verses give support and validation to the points made by him and his coauthor:

therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with god through our lord jesus christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. and we boast in the hope of the glory of god. not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope. and hope does not put us to shame, because god’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit, who has been given to us.

it is our blessing by god’s grace through the sin sacrifice of jesus christ to become at one with the triune god in our spirit, soul and bodies and at one with his bride, the church, in love.

dr. pinkham shares a discussion of the staTE OF BEING, A DISCUSSION WHICH WILL CONCLUDE MY POSTING OF EXCERPTS FROM HIS BOOK AS BLOG POSTS:

“ONENESS WITH THE FATHER IN CHRIST BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A STATE OF BEING. IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE LOVED, VALUED, AND AFFIRMED THROUGH AN INTIMATE CONNECTION WITH THEM, NOT AS A RESULT OF WHAT WE DO OR FAIL TO DO. . . . RECEIVING CHRIST IS THEREFORE THE ACT OF ENJOINING THE RELATIONAL ONENESS OF THE TRINITY. THE IDEA OF ‘MUTUAL INDWELLING’ DESCRIBES AN ONTOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP. IT IS MUTUAL IN THAT THERE IS A BACK-AND-FORTH RELATIONSHIP [A BIDIRECTIONAL INTERACTION]. IT IS ONTOLOGICAL BECAUSE IT INVOLVES INDWELLING - THAT IS, FINDING A PLACE IN EACH OTHER’S INTERNALITY. IF CHRIST INDWELLS ME, THEN MY ONTOLOGY [STATE OF BEING] IS DEFINED BY HIM. . . . THE ACT OF RECEPTION IS DONE IN THE HEART (EPH 3:17; 2 COR 3:3; HWV 8), WHICH IS NOT A STATIC SUBSTANCE, BUT RATHER THE CENTER OF THE HUMAN BEING’S FACULTIES OF AFFECT (EMOTION) AND INTENTION (WILL). FURTHER, THIS ACT IS AIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (JOHN 15:26; ROM 5/5, 8:9; 1 COR 6:11; 2 COR 3:3), WHO FACILITATES THE ONTOLOGICAL RECEPTION OF CHRIST. THIS, THEREFORE, ANSWERS THE HOW QUESTION. WE RECEIVE CHRIST IN AN ONTOLOGICAL MANNER BY ALLOWING HIM TO LIVE IN OUR HEARTS [OUR SOULS, CONSISTING OF MIND, WILL AND EMOTION], BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

BY READING MY BOOKS AND SELECTED BLOGS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT MY OVER 25 YEARS OF RESEARCH HAS ADDRESSED THIS HOW QUESTION. iT IS A DUALIST INTERACTION BETWEEN THE MIND OF GOD AND THE MIND OF MAN THROUGH THE NEURAL SYNAPTIC NETWORKS OF THE BRAIN. IT IS A CAUSAL INTERACTION BETWEEN THAT WHICH IS IMMATERIAL AND THAT WHICH IS MATERIAL. LINGUISTIC, SPECIFIED INFORMATION IS TRANSMITTED THEREBY, GIVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

As i wind down the excerpts from dr. pinkham’s outstanding book i am posting the following which gives testimony to how god reveals himself to us:

“we can only know god as he reveals himself to us. he has decided to do so through the heart of the son, the communion of the spirit [Italics added], and the body of christ. knowing the depths of god occurs when we have communion with the [indwelling] holy spirit. grace enables us to share those depths. thus, we can mutually indwell the son, the incarnate word. and we can know the father and be known by him.”

“…communion or community with the father, through the son, and by the holy spirit is the basis of spirituality - being in relationship that is spirit-formed.”
