Hi Roberta, I just finished reading The Fun of Living Together and am now reading The Fun of Growing Forever. I heard this article on NPR on how hate has been transforming in Rwanda with this soap opera series. I wondered if such a thing might work here in the US with our racial divide. There have been some very authentic soap opera series such as Silicon Valley that affect people's conciousness. How can I send?

I'm afraid that the actual roots of our racial problems go back for more than two centuries, and the only way we ever can truly and permanently heal our racial divide is to go back to its sources and heal it there. All the attempts we have made in modern times to address what are actually just symptoms of much deeper issues have availed us little, and some have actually made our racial problems worse! But the good news is that our divide can indeed be healed altogether, and there are foundations now that are setting about beginning to do it right. A very much better future is dawning!(less)

We have common interests in Quantum Mechanics and its epistemological significance. I have written a novel that explores a new paradigm of unifying the scientific with what is currently named the metaphysical. What are your thoughts on the connection between consciousness and Reality?

Quantum physicist Max Planck said that what we think of as consciousness is what gives rise to what we think of as reality; in fact, nothing else but consciousness exists. But of course, there is no good definition of consciousness that I have seen; scientists seem really not to know what it is, and the fact that they are stuck with treating consciousness as just an artifact of our material brains makes them unable to even begin to figure consciousness out. The best definition I ever have found of God might also apply to consciousness: "An energy-like potentiality without size or form, alive in the sense that your mind is alive, infinitely powerful and highly emotional and therefore probably self-aware." It's the creative force that continuously brings forth the universe. Essentially, perhaps consciousness and God are one.

I hope this helps! If you have other questions or want to discuss this further, you can always email me at rgrimes@robertagrimes.com.(less)

Hearing Jesus #4

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol

Quotes by Roberta Grimes (?)

“Abundant afterlife evidence tells us that we are here to learn to forgive completely and learn to love others universally.”
― Roberta Grimes, The Fun of Dying

“So while Christians believe in an afterlife, our mental picture of life after death is full of clouds and thrones and hell and fire and the terror of God’s judgment. Even believing that a heaven exists seems to do little to ease our fear of death.”
― Roberta Grimes, The Fun of Dying

“Max Planck won the 1918 Nobel Prize in physics as the father of quantum mechanics. In 1931, Planck said, “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” By 1944, he was positing a force that controls the atom. He said, “We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
― Roberta Grimes, Liberating Jesus
