On the subject lucid dreaming, you brought up which looks out of place here, I prefer to keep to the topic in general,Life after Death. I did read one book on that subject, “Lucid Waking” by George Feuerstein, but that has been years now .
I see you brought up the subject Leslie flint at JREF,that is a very hostile environment for this subject, I've been a member there since the Dec09and have never chosen to bring up the subject of Leslie Flint knowing the hostilely and cynicism brought against one who tries to bring up Flint.
One will never get any headway on the discussion of that matter. One poster suggest that during the testing of Leslie flint they should have used an infrared camera to photograph the voice box. If he had done his research thoroughly at least by reading the book “Voices in the Dark” he would have found out that they used an infrared telescope ( found on pg. 168) to observe the voice box. These people who criticize the medium ship of this person without even doing any research on the person I have no time for discussion or debate.
Another argument is the communicator doesn’t sound like the person that he/she when alive. If you never heard of a recording of your voice would you know what it would sound like, when using ones own natural larynx? These communicators are using an artificial created one to speak through.
Flint was not an educated man,he quit his early years of school to work to support his grandmother. He was not good at giving speeches, from which one would gather from listening to lectures he gave, against listening to these recordings.
Now to branch off from this topic,but having ties to it,I'd like to bring up the subject of “the mind being separate from the brain”. I think you will find this YouTube video of Dr. Pim van Lommel,a renowned cardiologist,was so inspired by the stories his patients told of their near-death experiences that he became the first medical practitioner to risk his reputation with a full, systematic clinical trial into the phenomenon.
