The Scole Experiment provides the uninformed and deniers with more than satisfactory scientific evidence that there is life after death. Witnessed by trained scientists and paranormal debunkers including hundreds of visitors the Scole Experiment proves to be a watershed moment in our understanding of life after death.
For the materialists among us, it is a shocking revelation; one that throws materialists into a state of cognitive dissonance. For Buddhists the Scole Experiment offers a chance to rid Buddhism of the materialists who are presently trying to take control of Buddhism, putting in its place a counterfeit, materialistic Dharma. These Buddhist materialists need to be exposed who will be the ones challenging the Scole Experiment.
I have read the book, The Scole Experiment by Grant & Jane Solomon. For those who haven't this documentary will be of great help in understanding what the experient was really about. It will no doubt cause the materialists and Buddhist materialists to wrestle with their beliefs, one important one being the brain is consciousness, or the same, consciousness is an epiphenomenon of the physical brain.
Enjoy the documentary.
Bob Morris, Is the Buddha being fairly circumspect? It depends what you mean by the word circumspect. The definition should not lead us to believe the Buddha does not know what happens after death.
"Therefore, with the breakup of the body, the fool fares on to [another] body. Faring on to [another] body, he is not freed from birth, aging, and death; freed from sorrow, lamentation, pain, displeasure, and despair, freed from suffering I say." - SN 2:24

The Buddha speaking in the Kalama Sutta is fairly circumspect on the old life-after-death question. Zennist knows more?

I think The Zennist would say that Buddhism is in no danger from those who believe in an afterlife, UFOs, etc. Instead, the real danger is from the Soto Zen phenomenalists and Buddhist materialists.

I communicated with the dead. They told me how they do it, how they fool the living into believing there is an afterlife. Then I asked them how much money I have in my pocket. The got confused and vanished. I saw that they were empty and creations of my own mind.
Well, all the good work that Dark Zen is doing is destroyed by that nonsense film.
