Inhaltsangabe

If you could communicate directly with the non-physical side of life, what would you ask? Wouldn’t you want to know the meaning of our physical lives? Wouldn’t you want to know if in fact after our physical lives are concluded, we continue to exist in some way? The Cosmic Internet is the record of just such conversations with non-physical beings. These conversations, as the author makes clear, are not the result of a special gift, but are the sort of communication available to anyone willing to make the effort. In the tradition of Jane Roberts (Seth) and others, this book poses significant questions about the nature of our lives, and produces valuable new insights into the purpose of life and how the universe works. FRANK DEMARCO is the author of five books, including Muddy Tracks, The Sphere And The Hologram, and Babe In The Woods (a novel). He has been a journalist and a newspaper editorial writer, and was co-founder and for many years Chief Editor of Hampton Roads Publishing Company. His published work, centering on personal experience, follows the ancient formula, “I of my own knowledge tell you that this is the truth,” and attempts to help others to understand the purpose and the potential of their existence.

Introduction

“It is not that I have accomplished too few of my plans, for I am not ambitious. But when I think of all the books I have read, and of the wise words I have heard spoken, and of the anxiety I have given to parents and grandparents, and of the hopes that I have had, all life weighed in the scales of my own life seems to me a preparation for something that never happens.”
—W.B. Yeats, Autobiographies, page 106.

Life seems to take a long time while it is passing, but at a certain age you look back and realize that you’ve already had most of the time you’re likely to have on this earth. You think: What did I accomplish? What was it all about? Where is the meaning in any of it? When I was young, I’d look at famous people who had achieved things, and I’d wonder how they felt when they knew they were dying. Even more than that, I’d think of how we all—famous or unknown—spend our lives learning things, accumulating skills and experiences, constructing inner worlds that could never be translated to anyone else. I’d think, “all that work, all those connections made, all those books read and associated one with another, all that time invested in people—in anything the person loved—all gone, the moment they die.” I was all but paralyzed by the pointlessness of achieving or learning or even experiencing anything. If it all crumbles as soon as we do—what’s the use?

Obviously this doesn’t strike everyone the same way. Some people don’t seem to notice, or they don’t think about it. Others, having abandoned hope of physical immortality, work to “leave the world a better place,” or seek to leave an immortal name through achievement. Others concentrate on actively enjoying every moment. Still others hope for eternal life in paradise—and even this makes anything we do or strive to do on earth, other than being “good” in order to be “saved,” irrelevant.

None of these ways of experiencing life gave any indication that our lives were meaningful. None of them seemed to connect with how we actually live our lives. The afterlife in scriptures remained a vague idea, at best nothing one could grasp, at worst perhaps merely a threat and a promise designed to keep people in line. But life without an afterlife, as postulated by materialists, made even less sense of life.

But if neither the believers nor the materialists provide us with a credible picture of the meaning and nature of life, the nonphysical side. Direct communication would be as close to firsthand information as we could get until we ourselves drop the body and cross over. Interestingly, some people insisted that this is possible.

So the question became, is it possible? And if possible, is it safe? And if both possible and safe, could we trust anyone and everyone we might contact on the other side? These questions aren’t new. They have been asked and answered for as long as people have been aware that material life is only half the picture. The answers have come in different forms, shaped to the needs of different peoples, different civilizations. Any culture’s scriptures deal with interaction between the physical and the non-physical aspects of the world. The problems, the techniques, the models are, after all, just so many varieties of packaging. Old words go dead on new generations,and so old truths have to be restated to be heard. The reality is the same.

Over the past five years, communicating with certain minds in the non-physical world, I have gotten information that amounts to an intellectually respectable model that makes sense of our lives in the physical and non-physical world. I’ve gotten it over time, in bits and pieces, but they’ve left it up to me to put together the pieces as best I could (no doubt, with their behind-the-scenes prodding). This book is my attempt to do just that.

The way I communicate is shaped by who I am and how I came to the work. I offer you my experience because, as a modern version of the ancient quest, it may seem less strange to you than previous offerings. But of course, I am aware that with every tick of the clock, my experience recedes and becomes less current. That doesn’t matter. The future will have its own testimonies. The important thing is not that the message be chiseled in stone, but that it be delivered.

It’s a good message, and hopeful. When we realize that we do not cease to exist when we drop the body, that the mind that we shape continues to function and may be used more surely and accurately and accessibly than ever, then not only was nothing lost, much was gained. And in the meantime, while we are still living in the physical world, on-physical beings are here for us. It is merely a matter of learning how to communicate with them.

The family and the religious tradition I was born into had nothing to do with talking to spirits. I was born in 1946, less than a year after the end of World War II, into a family of Catholic Italian-Americans. My father was easy-going and skeptical, my mother orthodox and devout. I began devout, became skeptical, and left the church in my teens, unable and unwilling to live within its rules and restrictions. But I had been shaped more than I knew by growing up in a tradition that took for granted that this physical world was underpinned by an invisible reality that was primary, rather than secondary. My spiritually formative years had been spent in the Catholic Church as it existed
in postwar America. So, I grew up with one foot in bustling, confident postwar America and the other in almost a medieval worldview.

In my college years, I read Jess Stearn’s The Sleeping Prophet and Thomas Sugrue’s There is a River, which told of Edgar Cayce’s trance channeling sessions from the 1920s through the mid-1940s, captured in shorthand, typed up, and filed in the archives of his Association for Research and Enlightenment. Those sessions contained remarkable and well-attested prescriptions that led to the healing of many whom conventional medicine could not help. They talked of past-life connections, paths to spiritual development, and dire prophecies of our future if we did not change our ways. I believed what I read, but it didn’t occur to me that others could learn to do what he did. It would be a good long time before it occurred to me that Jesus had said that others would do what he had done, and would in fact do even greater things. As a boy I assumed that this referred to “special” people like his disciples. It didn’t occur to me that he might mean me, and you.

Cayce served as an entry point into the strange world of the occult, as it was then called. But what a labyrinth that proved to be! I spent years searching through books filled with assertions, looking for something clear and authoritative. Instead I found chaos—often pretentious chaos. I was never tempted to follow gurus, and was unable to bring myself to join any of the societies I learned of. So many sects, each proclaiming that it, and presumably only it, had the truth. Where was the key? Where were the undisputed facts?

Having left the spiritual tradition I had grown up in, the only tool I had to work with was my intuition. This put me in the position of having to decide, before examination, whether something was worth examining, which is absurd. Nonetheless, this is the fix I was in, and am in still. I still don’t know any other way for us to proceed but to keep discarding what we cannot use, and keep looking for what is food and drink to us. You can’t necessarily depend on the judgment and experience of others, for “one man’s meat is another man’s poison.”...
