Looking to get a grip on the vocabulary and basic concepts behind the Larger Life Reality Portal?  These should help:  Glossary and Notes; the LLR Library; and the LLR Introduction.

In the mid-1980s, one of my brothers and his best buddy, both just 21 years old, died instantly in a car accident.  This initiated a compelling personal search for making my peace with death, as well as for furthering my understanding of what death -- that final moment of transitioning permanently from this bodily life -- is or means for each of us.  The only criteria for my search was that whatever I found must have a direct, experiential basis; nothing sourced simply in belief or in the demand for blind belief [i.e., faith] held any interest for me.  Though I respect each person's right to pursue religion and spirituality, each in hir [his / her; see the Gender Experiment] own way, what I craved with all my being, short of a near-death or physical death experience, was an experiential understanding of what this physical transition holds for us, which I sensed and, yes, had experienced to a limited degree before this began, was anything but in actuality "death," but was rather, life more abundant in every conceivable way.  Trusting simply someone else's answers [from, in my eyes, their version of belief based on others' beliefs or interpretations before them, based on still others' beliefs -- usually for a hundred or more generations back] along the avenues of religion, which most likely did not come from their own direct experience of this nature, was intolerably shy of useful for me; I had to know, to know-that-I-know !

Over the ensuing years of persistent searching, I was constantly surprised by two things:  on the one hand, I continually discovered so very much relevant and valuable material along these lines, and continue to do so to this day.  And on the other, maybe in part because indeed there is so much data, I have yet to see any overall or systematic presentation [much less, a thorough study] of all that speaks to this issue.   In short, wHeretwoworldsTouch.com is the panoramic and multi-leveled source I had longed to find those years ago.  My hope is that it will provide from several important perspectives an exaltation of insight, direction,  and upliftment for all who visit here.

The following information about the various subwebs [there are several] is not thorough, but it should get you off to some good starting places for becoming familiar with what we have to offer. 

The Physical Death and Dying Resource Portal

... is replete with much practical information, such as about what options you might take for preparing for your eventual leave-taking of this physical world, all about funeral and memorial considerations, costs, and even controversies [for example, are you making informed choices about what you are paying for and how much you are paying?  Most of us would admit we are numb or in so much pain from losing a loved one, we just open our cupboards and do and pay whatever without even imagining to think about what real choices we may have; we just want it to be over.].  You will also find here much in the way of grief support, including special sections for kids and young people--our in-betweeners.  This subweb also covers a variety of related topics such as suicide-crisis; fascinating cultural differences concerning physical death and dying and, of course, beliefs; much in the way of inspiration; even online memorials.

 

The Larger Life Reality Portal [LLR]

(Best starting point for what you will find here:  LLR Briefing; to get a conceptual perspective of the ideas presented in the LLR Portal, see the LLR Introduction.)

Here you will find the stories/experiences of Death-Transcendent Exceptional Human Experiencers; information about those whose vocation or practiced passion is to study EHEs and related topics, also about their work  -- Students of Exceptional Human Experiences; the Annotated Bio-Bibliography, a large, juicy repository of d-t EHE literature, reviews, brief biographies of authors / researchers / subjects.  Also the LLR Library is a substantial repository and connector to many types of information, such as archived stories, feature articles, and newsletters.  Examples are Chronicles of the Awakened Life, Dear Rachael, Editorials, EHErs Making a Difference, Feature Columns, Guest Columns, Onsite Programs and Program Transcripts, Survey Questions/Surveys, and the wtwT Newsletter. 

 

The Heart of the Site: 

The Death-Transcendent Cooperative Inquiry Initiative [DT-CII]

Since "death-transcendent exceptional human experiences" [DT-EHEs] have a fairly universal, powerfully positive impact on people, the central questions here are, can we safely learn to cultivate these experiences? Can we learn to have them 'at will'?  If so, how?  And given the general dis-interest of science as we have known it up to the present, how might we nevertheless systematically explore these possibilities together?  A hint:  the key concept here is direct personal (and collective) experience [see LLR Introduction to understand the underlying ideas for this].  The DT-CII is a payment-based membership subweb.

 

The EHErs' Support Cooperative [ESC]

... is  explicitly for those -- and you know who you are! -- who have been through  profoundly affecting death-transcendent EHEs by whatever name and circumstance you might label them [e.g., near-death experience, after-death communication, out-of-body experience, mystical or visionary experience, ufo experience].  If you long to connect with others who know full well from their own similarly transformative experiences of this nature what you are going through and who share many of the same challenges as a result, yet you are confused or unsure whether this may really be one of those thrilling shoe-fitting experiences, putter around on the Larger-Life Reality Portal subweb for a while to gain some clarity and direction.  Suggestions:  the LLR dedication page to Rhea A. White; Glossary and Notes; LLR Introduction; Critical Ideas.  The ESC is a payment- and criteria-based membership subweb.

 

Living the Awakened Life [LAL]

What does it mean to live a transformed life, one that reflects the values and worldview of individuals who have had DT EHEs?  In this part of wHeretwoworldsTouch you will find first of all EHE Study Groups [both online and maybe in your own city] with whom you can learn more about "exceptional human experiences" and about the life-changing advantages you gain through the practice of writing your autobiography from the point of view of those mysterious, wondrous, reality-bending experiences that happen in virtually every life now and then.   EHErs Making a Difference offers biographical sketches of people who have had such experiences [EHEs] and who as a result are indeed and irrepressibly living the Awakened life.  Chronicles of the Awakened Life contains news of people who, as a result of their EHE-related perspective, are indeed having a powerful impact on the world in some way.  Finally, the LAL is all about networking.  We offer listings and reviews of many activist organizations and sites, as well as products and services that support this post-EHE worldview development.
