Tying in
Today I am going to tie in two seemingly unrelated happenings. I was talking to my friend on Thursday, the one who had created my website for me and she made a comment. ‘’There is a tipping point.’’ She was referring to readership and getting a certain amount of people reading my blogs.
Stephen enjoys watching a podcast on U Tube that I often join him in watching. This particular podcast is called Unsolved No More, with the host, Ken Mains going over previously unsolved cold cases. Mains is a renowned detective and is often sought after by law enforcement and victim’s families because of his ability to solve cold crimes. He is the founder of the American Investigative Society of Cold Cases, a non-profit organisation which assists law enforcement with cold case investigations (reference Google).
In the last podcast I watched, Mains deviated somewhat from his usual speal and started sharing a bit of his personal life and that was that he had been reading various religious-orientated books and watching different people’s accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs). Mains gets thousands of viewers, somewhere between 20 and 40 thousand per podcast. People such as Mains are incredibly influential. If they say they like something or watch something or are beginning to believe something, one can guarantee that those words will generate interest, perhaps guiding people to also become interested in that same topic or at the very least, to find out more about it.
Is this the tipping point my friend talked about, or the 100th monkey effect? For those not familiar with this term, it describes the effect in which a new behaviour or belief is spread rapidly once a critical number of one group shows the new behaviour or acknowledges the new idea.
I can see the same growth in myself. For years I hid my spiritual side for fear of being judged. In my previous lives, I had been put to death several times because of my spiritual beliefs. Even though I knew I wouldn’t get burnt at the stake in this life, for example, the fears were there none-the-less. Those fears are now gone, as was evidenced by my openness at the Mind, Body & Spirit event last weekend.
It is so pleasing to see people, such as Ken Mains, sharing their new-found interest in this topic. There is so much more information out there than there ever was in the past. And with each new addition to the U Tube podcasts, I can see that the 100th monkey effect will most likely happen. In my first book, I described how I could not undo something once I had experienced it. P149 Who Is Me? Once a person has experienced an expanded reality in any field, he or she can not undo that experience. Whilst that person may not understand it or analyse correctly what was seen, there is no backing away from that new reality.
As people become more open to the fact we have lived before and realise, through watching others’ accounts, that our consciousnesses do live on after death, then they will become even more open to that idea, until it becomes a universally accepted one.
Knowledge can only be a good thing.
