Today is about books. This month marks the release of 超越生活的生活 by Luján Comas and Xavier Melo, published by Editorial Kairós. All proceeds from the book—as well as income from the “Somos Alma” YouTube channel and the Foundation’s other social media platforms—are dedicated to consciousness research through Project Luz.
超越生活的生活 details near-death experiences with serene emotion from those who have lived them, and with clarity and integrity from the doctors who have witnessed them in operating rooms or in their clinics.
This book, like the work done by the scientists and support staff involved in Project Luz, was created as a gesture of solidarity. We are deeply grateful to everyone involved for their altruistic contributions.
Our thanks go to all the contributors to the book: 皮姆·范·洛梅尔, 布鲁斯格雷森, 雷蒙德·穆迪, 只是亚历山大, Jeffrey Olsen, 卢扬科马斯, Emilio Carrillo, 手动 无, 圣地亚哥罗哈斯, María Sinfín (anonymous), Gretel Botella, Juanma Carretero, 索恩阿尔西巴尔, Montserrat Fonts, Ana Cecilia González, Estíbaliz Hernández, Yvonne Kason, Carmina Martínez, Ingrid Honkala, and myself—for their significant and selfless input.
“I hope this book touches your heart, dear future reader, and that it becomes a source of motivation, optimism, and life for you. May it transform you and help shape your view of your life’s purpose. And beyond that, may it help you—rationally and scientifically—to understand that our brain is not the entirety of our consciousness. There is significant evidence that consciousness is non-local and does not reside solely, or even primarily, in the brain, as we discuss in this month’s scientific review of the book 不朽的头脑: 今天出来 - 大脑可以分开, 但不是思想 由Denyse O’Leary和Michael Egnor.
And it’s not surprising that this might be so. Consider the book Man’s Search for Meaning by psychologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, who spent several years imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps. Amid injustice, forced labor, hunger, and freezing temperatures, he noted that the prisoners who had a will to live and could find meaning in their suffering were more resilient and more likely to survive. 另一方面, those who gave up emotionally, or desperately fought others to survive, eventually lost hope and most of them died.
We could also cite less extreme, everyday examples—such as people living with AIDS or cancer. Many cases show that those with the will to overcome their illness have a much higher survival rate than those who focus on their misfortune.
In the face of life’s difficulties—and we can expect to encounter many—it’s crucial to maintain this vision of trust and optimism, without judging whether things are good or bad. We must aim to bring more life to the years we have, rather than merely trying to add more years to our lives[./TP]Ante las dificultades de la vida y prevemos que las tendremos en nuestro mundo, es importante esta visión de confianza, de optimismo sin juzgar si es bueno o malo y poner cada día mucha vida a los años que tenemos y no preocuparnos tanto por tener muchos años de vida.Xavier Melo PhD
