The term ‘greater reality’ describes all that actually exists. The vast majority of life cannot be perceived by your five senses, but is nonetheless very real. It is a scientific fact that your brain, as amazing as it is, detects much less than one percent of reality. What is visible to the human eye is just a small fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. For example, you can’t see ultraviolet or infrared lights even though instruments can measure them.
Reality is defined as the state of things as it actually exists. Because so much of reality escapes the senses, you likely have viewed life as though through a tiny pinhole and then wondered why things don’t make sense. As the old saying goes, “There is more to life than meets the eye.” Most people readily agree with this statement, but don’t realize its numerous wonderful implications.
Many of your current beliefs about what happens after bodily death may be based on religious teachings that you accept on faith. If so, we respect your beliefs; we also appreciate religious teachings that share common threads with other great wisdom sources. However, our perspectives are primarily based on contemporary knowledge and understandings from scientific, clinical and firsthand experience evidence. Some of these views correlate nicely with religious teachings, while others do not.
Many benefits accompany deeply knowing the contemporary evidence about the nature of reality. University-based, controlled, replicated, and multicentered research reported in peer-reviewed scientific journals now makes it very clear that life continues after bodily death! (Please take a moment and let that great news settle in.) We will officially announce and demonstrate this life-transformative news in 2025. This will, predictably, create a massive paradigm shift for humanity. The Greater Reality LIVING Program will help people realize how safe, inspiring, and comfortable this shift really is.
In addition, scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence provides a high degree of certainty about ‘The Great News’. As described in article #10 The Great News, you and everyone else . . .
- are a being of consciousness / energy who still exists after your earthly body dies.
- can interact with ‘deceased’ loved ones now and after you pass on.
- are an integral, eternal, and beloved part of Source Energy / The Light now and always.
- receive guidance, assistance, and love from angels, guides, and master teachers.
- are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.
- have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.
- may simultaneously manifest in other space-time realities now and after bodily death.
- have everything you need – no matter what your past or current circumstances – to enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned. (YOU = your higher self / soul / awareness)
- can find peace, joy, meaning, growth, and opportunities for loving service amidst your toughest changes and challenges.
- create the quality of your life via your predominant thoughts, words and actions.
None of the above is apparent when you rely on just your five senses.
In addition, you will someday be able to use SoulPhone technology to communicate with postmaterial (so-called ‘departed’) loved ones and luminaries who can help all people and our world.
All of the above can assist having a more joyful, peaceful, and meaningful human experience. That’s why it’s so important to learn more about the greater reality and engage iin greater reality living.
The term greater reality living describes how you might choose to live as you expand your awareness about the totality of life. How would you live and treat others and yourself if you really knew that the great news listed above is quite probably true?
We pose this question because we do not pretend to know what this will mean for you. You and all people are unique and have special reasons for being just as you are in this exact moment. The book Greater Reality Living by Dr. Gary E. Schwartz and me can help you formulate your best answers. The Big Picture of Life – co-authored by Dr. Schwartz and Katta Mapes MA, MEd, and me – is a version of Greater Reality Living written for ages 10 -16 or so.
Living in more evolved ways is easier when you have a support system of kindred spirits who are also on the path of love, enlightenment, self-growth, and service to others. We encourage you to expand your circle of loving, open-minded, and service-oriented people. This is one benefit of the online and local Greater Reality LIVING Program.
Many people have expressed their desire to regularly meet with a group of such people. They want a nonjudgmental, safe, inclusive, and respectful place where they can share their personal experiences and discuss important topics.
Five keys to greater reality living – Learn, Internalize, Vitalize, Enjoy, Serve – can be remembered by the acronym L.I.V.E.S.:
- Learn the collective evidence for ‘The Great News’.
- Internalize this news deeply and profoundly.
- Vitalize and balance yourself holistically.
- Enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned.
- Serve others to help them – and yourself – and make the world a better place.
(Note: YOU under #4 refers to your higher self, total being, consciousness — what some call the soul. I make this distinction because the highest and broadest eternal version of you may have goals and missions that are different from what your temporary earthly self wants.)
The Greater Reality LIVING Program offer insights, resources and hope for those who are searching and suffering, particularly if you are:
- grieving the passing of a loved one
- fearing your own bodily death
- struggling with the suicide of a dear one
- in the process of your body dying
- suffering with difficulties such as failed relationships, physical and/or mental symptoms, broken dreams, financial loss, lack of purpose, unemployment, social isolation, addicted loved ones, etc.
- considering suicide
- mourning the passing of a beloved pet
- wrestling with past cultural, educational, and/or religious teachings that don’t make sense to you now
- searching for sensible answers to life’s biggest challenges
- desiring to enjoy the greatest life you have envisioned and fulfill your purpose
- wanting to transform yourself and our planet for the better
I hope you take a little time to learn more of the evidence behind this statement and all the other great news listed above. That and applying the L.I.V.E.S. strategies for greater reality living consistently over time can improve every aspect of your earthly experience.
