‘Jesse Bering’s mother died of cancer on a Sunday, in her own bed, at 9 o’clock at night. Bering and his siblings closed her door and went downstairs, hoping they might somehow get some sleep.
It was a long, hard night, but around 7 a.m., something happened: The wind chimes outside his mother’s window started to chime.
Bering remembers waking to the tinkle of these bells, a small but distinct sound in an otherwise silent house. And he remembers thinking that those bells carried a very specific message.
“It seemed to me … that she was somehow telling us that she had made it to the other side. You know, cleared customs in heaven,” Bering says.
The thought surprised him. Bering was a confirmed atheist. He did not believe in any kind of supernatural anything. He prided himself on being a scientist, a psychologist who believed only in the measurable material world. But, he says, he simply couldn’t help himself.
“My mind went there. It leapt there,”‘

WE DO HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER OUR GOVERNMENT BUT
NO CONTROL OVER THE LARGE CORPORATIONS.
WHO ARRANGED FOR US TO HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY WITH DISABILITY AND SURVIVOR PROTECTION, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, HELP IN TIMES OF TRAGEDY, ETC.?
WHO DO YOU TRUST THE MOST? WHO HAS HELPED YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES THE MOST?
IF WE DON’T HAVE A PUBLIC OPTION THAT WILL COVER THOSE WHO INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL NOT, MAKE SURE EVERYONE ELSE IS COVERED THAT CAN’T AFFORD IT, AND WILL KEEP INSURANCE COMPANIES HONEST, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?
MAY GOD GIVE US THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL AMERICANS, AMEN.

Erik Erikson’s 8 Stages of PsychosocialDevelopment
Stage 8: Maturity
Age: Late Adulthood — 65 years to death
Conflict: Integrity vs. Despair
Important Event: Reflection on
and acceptance of one’s life
|
Description:
The most important event at this stage is coming to accept one’s whole lifeand reflecting on that life in a positive manner. According to Erikson,achieving a sense of integrity means fully accepting oneself and coming to termswith the death. Accepting responsibility for your life and being able to undothe past and achieve satisfaction with self is essential. The inability to dothis results in a feeling of despair.
Elements for a positive outcome:
The adult feels a sense of fulfillment about life and accepts death as anunavoidable reality.
Elements for a negative outcome:
Individuals who are unable to obtain a feeling of fulfillment andcompleteness will despair and fear death.
Examples:
An aged person may find it necessary to reflect and analyze what they haveaccumulated throughout life and decide what offspring will receive from themupon death.

Rumors and hearsay are not accepted in Court. Which is closer to the truth:
“I feel like…”, “I think…” or
“I HAVE GONE TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE AND KNOW IT IS TRUE?”
Self-deception: denying the relevance or importance of opposing evidence and logical argument.
