Re: Care at the Time of Death

IRISHPOOH…

I sent you a private message but, being new, you may not have figured out yet how that works in allnurses.

All…

I’ve been reading (listening to) Fred Alan Wolf’s (Ph.D. in quantum physics) book, “Doctor Quantum, A User’s Guide To Your Universe.” This, I think, should be required reading for hospice nurses. It discusses everything from parallel universes to how mind creates matter.

Check back.

P.S.

There is a really good program on the Tibetan Book Of The Dead playing on the history channel. Check it out.

Thanks Micheal...will try and catch that! I'm a courttv junkie and Forensic Files is on now. You're right about the PM...do they let me know when I have one? I got a message either yesterday or the day before and I wrote you back with my email address. Did you get that one? Have a great night!! Colleen

Re: Care at the Time of Death

IRISHPOOH…

I got the message. Thanks.

All…

It really is interesting to see how little notice is taken when some new thinking pattern comes along. Believe it or not, what quantum physicists have learned will revolutionize western thought from top to bottom. There is a relatively small group of people paying attention but overall the reaction is more along the lines of, “Huh? So what?”

After the 2nd plane hit on the morning of 9/11 my wife & I agreed; “The world just changed.”

However, what quantum physicists are telling us now is even more far-reaching and significant than 9/11… yet the general response is “Ho-hum” at best. The lack of response is surreal.

One might well associate the realizations of modern science to the “second coming.” As stated in a previous post, Christ tried to get it through our thick heads a couple of thousand years ago that we are all connected and not just bodies. He was not the first to make that point of course, but made a concerted and well-documented effort. Now, all this time later, we (via our scientists) have figured it out on our own. You would think that might capture our attention, but the average person seems to be more aware of how many guys claim to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby.

What we pay attention to and think about is really quite fascinating.

michael, while i appreciate the content of your post contextually, i am not convinced there is little interest from its readers, citing the lack of response.

certainly the media's focus may be national enquirer mentality.
that we do know.
but we do not know the minds of our audience.

speaking for myself, i fully understand and appreciate this oneness we all share.
it is a philosophy i live and experience every day of my life.
but to talk about it???
no, never.
that's not me.
everyone has different learning styles.
some are communicators and teachers, such as yourself.
i see myself as a student, reading and absorbing as much as possible.
anything i learn is in hopes of benefiting myself and others, here on earth.
but it's something i choose not to talk about.
it's something i am and will be.

so please, do not take a lack of response as a lack of interest.
that just is not true.
for those who are receptive, you give much to think about:
but not necessarily talk about.

Re: Care at the Time of Death

AMEN! Keep doing what you are doing. It works! I have been with hospice since 1989 and LOVE it... Truly hospice is my heart, and don't ever let anyone talk you out of "counseling" aka listening. I have been with too many dying people to discount what they experience. It has changed the way I live my life. KEEP CARRYING THE TORCH!

Re: Care at the Time of Death

Sheri…

The Tibetan Book Of The Dead things was on the History channel… 2 or 3 days ago. But they replay things so keep an eye out. Also, there are 2 History Channels so if you only get one you may miss it.

Leslie…

You are right of course. You’re a lot like my wife in that regard. She could probably use some help keeping me on the straight & narrow.

Re: Care at the Time of Death

Thanks for the info Michael. Are both channels called the history channel? Sounds like I don't even know how to work a TV for goodness sakes, Huh?
