Lived Experiences
Lived Experiences ARE the pinnacle of knowledge and truth. There’s NO better way for finding and knowing the TRUTH than Lived Experience or Direct Observation.
Science is supposed to be Observation, or Lived Experience, although for most people Science is treated as if it is nothing more than philosophy or sophistry, and they limit Science exclusively to our physical reality. In other words, these people use Science to try to deceive us and to deceive themselves as well; and, they are extremely successful at doing so. Self-deception works, and it works every time. That type of limiting, materialistic, and exclusive “science” really isn’t Science – it is sophistry, metaphysics, religion, and philosophy. Science based upon falsehoods such as Materialism and Naturalism are the very definition of BAD SCIENCE or pseudo-science.
In contrast, the TRUTH is KNOWN by living it, witnessing it, and experiencing it for yourself, or by choosing to trust someone who has done so for himself.
By Lived Experiences, we mean ALL of our psyche experiences, thoughts, dreams, choices, decisions, actions, spiritual experiences, conscious experiences, memories, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), mystical experiences, psychic experiences, physical experiences, science experiments, unexplainable “miraculous” events, healing, near-death experiences (NDEs), shared-death experiences (SDEs), theophanies, revelations of God, and revelations from God. Through Lived Experience, we can KNOW the TRUTH directly by experiencing it directly for ourselves.
We KNOW from the Lived Experiences of the human race that Psyche exists and that our Psyche or Intelligence is something completely different than our Spirit Body. We also KNOW from the Lived Experiences of the human race that our Human Psyche or Non-Local Consciousness has been assigned to a Spirit Body or united holistically with a Spirit Body, which looks like our Physical Body. What people call our “Spirit”, or our “Ghost”, is in fact our Psyche or Personality which has been united with a Spirit Body as a single functioning unit or whole. We KNOW from the Lived Experiences of the human race that Psyche can temporarily separate from its Spirit Body and look at its Spirit Body from an immaterial third-person viewpoint in space.
This is a Psyche Ontology. This is a holistic ontology or a holistic model of reality which takes into consideration ALL of our Lived Experiences as a race. The Human Psyche is unique in that it can record and then share its Lived Experiences with other human beings. The animals can’t. This Psyche Ontology, wherein Psyche or Intelligence or Non-Local Consciousness is the fundamental unit of reality, is the Ultimate Ontology and the Ultimate Model of Reality. ONLY Psyche can do ontology, reality, choice, and existence. Without Psyche or Non-Local Consciousness, there would be no existence.
