COMMENTARY: BRIDGING SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY On his way back to Earth after his pioneering moonwalk, Apollo 14 astronaut and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, had an awakening. He had the profound experience of feeling interconnected to everything he was observing from the window of his space capsule: the stars, the moon, our blue planet, and the vastness of the cosmos. He realized quickly that in order to explain such an extraordinary experience there had to be a bridge between the scientific and spiritual interpretations of reality. A new framework would be needed: one that could help explain the unexplainable—and spark transformation. He called this framework noetic sciences. Check out this new free e-course Noetics 101: The Science and Experience of Interconnection.

MEDITATION AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES
IONS explores Extraordinary Human Capacities such as
psychic abilities, energy healing, lucid dreaming, psychedelics and creativity, channeling, mediumship, and intuition. The Future of Meditation Research (FOMR) was one of its projects.
A SHORT MEDITATION THAT HELPS YOU TO FIND YOUR OWN ANSWERS
Helané Wahbeh leads us in a short 10-minute meditation to assist people to find an answer to a personal question.
THE TIME SEEMS RIGHT FOR NOETIC IDEAS When IONS was founded fifty years ago, many of the things it was interested in were foreign to mainstream thinking. But, as Alex Ferrari, producer of the popular YouTube "Next Level Soul Podcast " explains, there has been a huge shift in the last few years as people have been able to share their personal experiences via the internet.
THE COSMIC VOICES NETWORK - DANIEL DRASIN, ROSINA OCHOA, AND JEANNE LOVE IN CONVERSATION
Three of the members of the Cosmic Voices Network team share spirit rescue experiences (4th member Cindy Spring was not well enough to join in). Some highlights:
* 2 min 53 Jeanne Love shares a current experience.
* 24 min 56 Regina Ochoa talks about the rescue of the spirits of those on board the Titan submersible.
*34 min 21 Regina recounts another occasion when she witnessed two spirits doing a car accident rescue.
* 38 min 59 Dan raises the issue of the message from astronaut Frank Borman who talked about astronauts seeing ETs.
* 47 min 49 The group discuss the channelling of the NASA astronauts who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger.
* 55 min 18 Dan agrees the afterlife is going mainstream and invites everyone to share their experiences.
Dr. EDGAR MITCHELL SPEAKS TO REGINA OCHOA September 2, 2020 I am Edgar Mitchell. I am here to introduce your visitors to the Message Board of the Cosmic Voices site because, as many of you are already aware, I am no stranger to thinking and (now knowing) that there is a larger consciousness involved with the earth-mind. When I transitioned to this, wholly -- this knowing, this incorporation -- I was so excited. Dying was the best thing I did all year in 2016! I was really ready to join my fellow believers, students, and mentors who were able to depart before me. I felt like it was my final countdown. When I heard "T minus zero" I knew I could leave, not a second sooner, and definitely not later!" Read more of Dr. Edgar Mitchell's message.
SUZANNE GIESEMANN DESCRIBES HER EVIDENTIAL CONTACT WITH DR. EDGAR MITCHELL Medium Suzanne Giesemann shares how she had contact with Edgar Mitchell 12 days after he died in 2016.

LEARN FROM YOUR REGRETS!
The teachings of the Universal Spiritual Brother & Sisterhood reflect on
how regrets can help us in our spiritual progress.
Since we can never undo what is past, regrets are usually quite useless.
As the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám so eloquently puts it:
“The moving finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it”.
However, regrets can keep us from repeating the
mistakes that caused them. While we cannot erase
the past, we can learn from it. And if we are wise, we
will learn not only from our own experience but also
from the experience of others!
“To the apt pupil, experience is a good teacher” (Spiritual Light,
published by USB Vision Press).
THE EDGAR MITCHELL OVERVIEW EFFECT The Edgar Mitchell Overview Effect Experience invites the world to join the Apollo 14 Astronaut on his mission to the Moon and into his most intimate moment of connection to life itself.
"As we journey through space, we will hear Edgar’s voice guide us through the dissolving of any and all boundaries within our consciousness to the universal connection we humans share. In concert with stunning images of the cosmos, historic NASA audio, carefully crafted sound design, sensation-inducing haptic gear, and epic music, the Edgar Mitchell VR Experience will take users on a meditative, visceral experience of transcendence".
Experience it now in virtual reality.
FEEDBACK:
1)
"Hi Wendy and Victor.
Thanks for a lovely report! I had such a feeling of Deja Vu when I saw the artwork on the cover from Elaine. I recognized the style immediately as she did a painting for me, too, also in 2020 that is one of my most prized possessions!" Lisa
2) [Elaine Thorpe] "Amazing trance medium and spirit artist". Patricia
3)
"I need to learn how to “provide them with the right channels” if anyone has ideas please share. Thank you Victor for sharing and thank you all for being part of this group and life journey".

FLY ME TO THE MOON!! After talking about Edgar Mitchell and the Apollo astronauts, what else can we finish with but this classic hit by the one and only Frank Sinatra? His 1964 recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" became closely associated with NASA's Apollo space program. A copy of the song was played on a Sony TC-50 portable cassette player on the Apollo 10 mission which orbited the Moon and also on Apollo 11 before the first landing on the Moon. The song's association with Apollo 11 was reprised many years later when Diana Krall sang it at the mission's 40th anniversary commemoration ceremony, and also for mission commander Neil Armstrong's memorial service in 2012.
On his way back to Earth after his pioneering moonwalk, Apollo 14 astronaut and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, had an awakening.
