Does Consciousness Survive?
There are, of course, those who don't believe in an afterlife at all. "When you're dead, you're dead" is an increasingly common refrain in our materially and scientifically obsessed culture. Yet is this really the most rational position to adopt?
The evidence suggests not. This ranges from the inability of modern scientific theorists to solve the so-called "hard problem" of where consciousness originates, to the multiple fields of research that indicate beyond a reasonable doubt that our consciousness exists independent of our physical bodies and brains—and continues to exist after their demise. A huge weight of anecdotal evidence now exists where people have reported obscure information that they couldn't possibly have obtained except via their consciousness operating outside the confines of their bodies. This includes mediums channelling the spirits of the deceased, trained remote viewers, and ordinary people having near-death and out of-body experiences.
To take just one now little-known example, early in the twentieth century American life prisoner Ed Morrell was mercilessly tortured in San Quentin prison by being placed in a straitjacket that was then laced so tight he could hardly breathe. Warders could scarcely believe how he survived such inhumane torture for up to four days at a time. His own explanation? He found himself being lifted out of his body by unknown forces, after which he could rove around the San Francisco area at will while his body suffered. Not only that, but while doing so he met a number of people who he was later able to recognise as playing important roles in his life—such as the girl who would become his wife and the future governor who, as he predicted at the time of his torture, would eventually free him.

Your body is crying out for...dirt
The idea of eating dirt isn't new. It's been around a long time, dating back more than 2,500 years. Hunters and gatherers couldn't avoid it, and regardless of culture, there's evidence people have included traces of dirt in their diets throughout the ages.

Biological Transmutations
Over the past two centuries a large number of experiments with animals, seeds and bacteria have demonstrated that biology is not only a chemical process, but also a nuclear one. It has been demonstrated that some minerals transmute into other minerals. With the development of lowenergy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), this topic is back in the scientific agenda. Very few scientists work in this field, but its importance is such that its further development is crucial.
