...almost the whole world is asleep...only a few people are awake, and they live in a state of constant, total amazement.—Joe Versus the Volcano, the movie (1990)

I like to think of myself as one of the awake. I’m also a retired computer professor living in Tallahassee, FL with my wife and first editor, Barbara. I earned B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in computer science. I worked in industry for 15 years doing computer software R&D and in academia for 30 years teaching and conducting computer science research. I’ve analyzed, modeled, designed, and built computer software systems and published numerous research papers and a book on information and database modeling—Object Relationship Notation (ORN) for Database Applications:Enhancing the Modeling and Implementation of Associations (Springer, 2009).

I retired early at age 63 to apply my research and analytical skills as well as an open mind toward my more worldly interests in science, philosophy, and religion, seeking to answer some of the Big Questions about life. Focusing my work over ten-plus years on consciousness led to a scientific theory that reveals a newfound reality about death and an afterlife. It is based on human experiences and cognitive science and will change the world for the better. The theory’s evolution and the related reality are thoroughly discussed in my book A Natural Afterlife Discovered: The Newfound, Psychological Reality That Awaits Us at Death. The book is backed by three published scholarly journal articles, one in the Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research and two in The Journal of Mind and Behavior.

  How to Reduce Suicides and Mass Shootings? Spread the Word About Death’s Psychological Reality

  5 months ago

  The more people who know about the psychological reality of death, the fewer suicides and mass shootings. Science does not claim consciousness ends at death. Though it materially ends, cognitive science reveals that, psychologically, it is imperceptibly paused. So, nonexistence is not an option.
