In terms of studying consciousness, the Near Death Experience or NDE could be giving us valuable evidence indicating that consciousness continues after death. Indeed, the phenomenon of the Near Death Experience leads us to face a fundamental question; does our consciousness exist beyond the brain and body?
The Reductionist view
To the reductionists, this question is an easy ‘no’, as they believe that consciousness is an epiphenomenon of the brain, emerging from neurons as a side effect of electrical firings. To them, all humans are simply mechanical apes who have developed a few special faculties to give them an evolutionary advantage. In the reductionist world, the brain and body are machines and the primary agents of life – nothing is animating them. When death occurs, this primary agent of life is destroyed, end of story.
Over the years however, evidence of people having a conscious experience during periods of zero brain activity has accumulated. The concept that consciousness can exist beyond the brain challenges the reductionist belief system that the body is nothing more than its constituent parts.
Beyond the Brain
It is important to note that it is still a belief system though. There is no absolute proof that consciousness emerges from the brain. Professor Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona gives us a brilliant analogy. He compares the brain to a mobile/cell phone. Just because you can hear a voice coming from a mobile phone does not mean that your friend lives inside the phone.
If the phone gets damaged, you know that your friend is not affected; the phone was just receiving her voice. Schwartz says that the brain could be acting in a similar fashion – it is just a receiver and a conduit for consciousness, rather than the generator of it.

Watch out for when we discuss black holes and the Near Death Experience. Enjoy!
When I received The Black Hole Principle through a vision in 2003, I knew it to be the truth of how the universe works. Pretty soon, the evidence for it started to mount up and as it did, it became clear that the theory was excellent at predicting the behaviour of stars and planets. But sometimes there is a real humdinger of a piece of evidence that is such a shockingly vivid example of the power of the theory that it amazes me all over again. So in this article, we will be looking at the Top 8 Predictions of the Black Hole Principle that even made me gasp.
1. Water comes out of sunspots
In 1997 a team at the University of Waterloo Ontario confirmed that water is found on the sun, specifically as steam ejected from sunspots. Now for a lot of people, this should be a total surprise; I would have thought that such news could send shock waves around the world. I am guessing from the lack of references to this that most academic scientists don’t even know about it. It seems so incongruent with expectations that it has been mainly ignored.
Back in 2006 Punk Science described how sunspots also display Black Hole Principle (BHP) behaviour. As we now know, that includes the production of water. So from this perspective, it is not a surprise that sunspots produce water because they would be expected to show the same sort of behaviour as galactic black holes and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.
The Black Hole Principle involves a movement, like a breath at the Perception Horizon. When the breath goes one way, matter and antimatter are produced. When it goes another, gamma rays and light are produced. The actual particles differ according to the level of the universe you are talking about, but the process is the same.This is why we observe gamma-ray bursts that shine bright and then fade and events in space that don’t seem to follow the expected pattern of an explosion or another violent event.
So I was amazed to find that there are indeed clouds of hydrogen gas near the centre of the Milky Way called high-velocity clouds that appear to be breathing in and out. It could be a sign of the breathing process that is actually occurring in the central black hole itself that is being translated in the gas clouds immediately around it.
Very shortly after I had the vision of the Black Hole Principle I spotted this finding in New Scientist. Although it is quite an old discovery now, for me it was so important because it confirmed what I saw in the vision – that antimatter is produced in a black hole. It was this article that gave me the courage to move forward despite not being a physicist or academic, as I knew that The Black Hole Principle was important and was able to make predictions about the universe.

4. Antimatter comes out of thunderstorms
At the time of writing Punk Science, I stated that thunderstorms are basically powered by the same mechanism that is behind galactic core black holes and if so, we should be able to see fast-moving electrons (which we do), gamma-ray bursts which we do except we call them gamma-ray flashes and antimatter. At the time the latter had not been discovered, but in 2011 NASA made the announcement that they indeed found antimatter in thunderstorms.
One of the mainstays of the Black Hole Principle is of course that gamma-ray bursts are produced by the cores of galaxies. This means they should also be produced by our own galaxy which we found out fairly recently, also harbours a supermassive black hole. But just as the mainstream world was shocked when they found black holes at the centre of all galaxies, they were not expecting anything to come out of it either.
But in 2010 an analysis of data from the Fermi telescope revealed that our galaxy is actually blowing bubbles; gamma-ray bubbles are emerging from the supermassive black hole of the Milky Way galaxy.Again this was a surprise to mainstream scientists not expecting to see this sort of activity in our home galaxy and not sure what was causing it.
Further analysis of the image showed the characteristic bipolar jet of The Black Hole Principle. The bubble patterns seem to be created by the jets spiralling over time. Again a beautiful example of The Black Hole Principle behaviour found in an unexpected place.

6. Moss grows in spirals
In 1997, biologist Fred Sack examined some Moss plants that had just returned from being aboard the space shuttle mission, Colombia. These moss plants were known to either grow towards the light or towards gravity. What is interesting is that out in space where there was no light to move towards, the plants grew in a spiral.I was so excited to read about this because according to The Black Hole Principle, the underlying fundamental force moves in a spiral.
This spiral force of light and consciousness gives rise to all the forces in physics such as gravity. Away from the light and from the Earth, the plants seemed to have tuned into the underlying pattern of gravity – a spiral.Sadly on a further mission in 2003, the space shuttle broke apart on re-entry and the crew was killed. Further moss experiments were recovered, however, reconfirming this spiral growth and this article was published in Nature.
For much of my life I have been preoccupied with the scientific world and ever since I was a child I remember people talking about the wish to find water on other planets. The idea was that as soon as we found water we would find life. Much to everyone’s surprise then, water turns out to be pretty abundant in the universe. What the mainstream scientists don’t understand is why. They come up with all sorts of theories about past collisions with snowball comets and asteroids.
However, according to The Black Hole Principle, water is actually produced from the black hole itself. More work needs to be done in this but I think it is a product of a higher dimensional process as the antimatter and matter split happens, water is produced much like in this diagram.
So it was not a surprise to me when the announcement came that Mars is actually populated by water that is being regenerated.That’s because I know that the planet Mars is displaying Black Hole Principle behaviour within its interior and that includes water production. So of course surface water is being regenerated just as it is in the sun, as the source of the water is the interior of the planet.

8. The Earth’s oceans come from the Earth’s interior
Speaking of water coming from the interior of a planet, the Earth itself is a black hole process showing the same types of behaviours as a galactic black hole in space. For many years it has been a mystery as to how the oceans of the planet arrived on the Earth.Various theories have been put forward including that in the Earth’s distant past, an icy comet collided with the Earth depositing its water and it has simply been recycled ever since. There was no proof of this though, but it has been received wisdom.
Knowing what I knew about the way black holes produce water through their dynamic processes and that this is happening at every single level of the universe, it was simply logical that the Earth’s oceans are being produced by the interior of the planet.So I made the public announcement and prediction at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 2013 that the true source of the Earth’s oceans was actually the Earth’s interior.
Within about eight months it was announced by mainstream scientists that there is a massive ocean in the interior of the Earth. The answer to where the Earth’s water comes from seems to have been found.

Conclusion
The beauty of having a simple, elegant description theory is that it is simple enough to predict aspects of the universe as yet undiscovered. I have now gone on public record saying that we should expect to see evidence of antimatter coming from volcanoes so time will tell if this is correct. We have already discovered antimatter geoneutrinos coming from the Earth’s core so maybe this is all we need.
So far, The Black Hole Principle has been able to describe the universe in a more accurate way than many mainstream theories and to even expect some of the more seemingly bizarre observations. And that is what a powerful idea in science is all about – it is strongly predictive. If you would like to check out just some of these predictions take a look at Punk Science here.

A Shakespeare by any other face would be even more lucrative it would seem.
You couldn’t make it up…except they seem to be doing just that. William Shakespeare is obviously the most famous playwright and poet in history. But we have very little in the way of biographical details of the man from Stratford upon Avon to whom the greatest literary works of all time have been attributed.
There are no letters that we know of – this alone is quite interesting as you would have thought, at least, that he wrote to his family in Stratford whilst he worked in London. He left none of his books in his will when he died and we have no portraits of him when he was alive, despite him being present at court and a successful playwright. The famous balding image we have of William Shakespeare is from the first folio that was created after his death.
So it is no wonder that when a portrait emerged that could have been a portrait of Shakespeare that was created during his lifetime, people from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust were interested. After a few years of examination, they announced to the world in 2009 that it was indeed genuine.
Yet there was immediate opposition from academics and critics. The portrait was said to be of courtier and poet, Sir Thomas Overbury and other portraits of him exist.
These seem to have been mostly ignored by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust which has prominently used the controversial image as their favourite Shakespeare pinup. It is easy to see why this is a much preferable image for the author of Romeo and Juliet as the man in this image is more handsome than the image in the first folio.
Some are even reporting that any critique of the Trust’s behaviour on this matter is being met with the threat of litigation. At the end of the day, it is all about money; a handsome, young, full-colour Shakespeare looking a bit like Joseph Fiennes, who played Will Shakespeare in the film ‘Shakespeare in Love’, is going to bring in more money for the Stratford tourist machine than an older, plump balding one. This article from The Guardian newspaper website suggests that the new portrait was worth around £15 million to the Trust in terms of tourism.
This may turn out to be one of these cases where the untruth becomes so widespread that it simply becomes the truth. What are your thoughts? Are you shocked that The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is presenting a controversial portrait as Shakespeare? Do you dismiss it as just yet another lie that we are told on a daily basis by people in power? Or do you think the portrait is genuine and this is the true likeness of William Shakespeare?

In 2007, I was invited to the studios of Press TV in West London alongside the world-renowned author, Diana Cooper to discuss the Science of Angels. But soon I was also discussing some of my angelic experiences.
The whole day was pretty amazing as the Press TV studios were very well equipped and plush, with makeup artists for all the ‘talent’ as well. Some time later, I made several trips to the then BBC studios nearby and it was disappointingly drab in comparison. This interview was actually my first taste of the live TV set up in a studio even though I had already appeared in several documentaries. This studio experience came in handy later when working for The People’s Voice TV.
I am delighted to find that this interview has now resurfaced on Youtube courtesy of the presenter Rebecca Masterton who did a great job. So here is the discussion on Press TV about The Science of Angels. It is in several parts.
