Investigating Consciousness After Death - Part 1 of 3 part series
The Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS), founded by Robert Bigelow, launched a competition in 2021 to investigate life after death. The Bigelow Essay Contest offered $1.5 million in prize money for the best evidence-based essays on whether human consciousness survives physical death. We will be reading the winning essay Beyond The Brain by Jeffery Mishlove.
Book Swap
Pick a book from your shelf, wrap it up, and jot down a couple of teaser lines about it. The catch? Don’t reveal the title or author! Instead, give us a hint—maybe the genre (Mystery, Sci‑Fi, Romance, etc.) and a short description that sparks curiosity without spoiling the surprise. Extra applause goes to the most creative wrapping and the most intriguing descriptions, so let your imagination run wild!
