With All My Good Wishes and Thank You
Stephan:
Whichever holiday you and your family and friends celebrate at this time I hope this is for you, and those you love and care about, the best and happiest of times together. And to all of you who have sent in contributions to support SR, I thank you and hold you in the deepest appreciation. This has not been an easy year and your readership and support have given me the strength, courage, and commitment to continue what is now a 34-year-long effort to alert you to the trends that are shaping our world and, where I can, to point out what is fostering wellbeing.

Hello Mr. Schwartz,
Happy Holidays!
I’m watching your Vail symposium talk on uTube and I find it fascinating and uncanny at the same time. Since I was very young I can remember odd coincidences that I thought were familiar or ‘different’ and have always been drawn to the conscious world. My most ‘recent’ experience, ~1980’s, I bought a meditation cassette from a local secondhand store. When I went home I laid on the dark dining room floor, closed my eyes, and played the cassette. At one point I had the feeling of levitating above my body and I could see myself very clearly. It scared me so much that I didn’t attempt it again because I thought I may die because my breathing became very shallow and I thought I may not come out of my vision. Within the past 10 years I’ve had many insights or premonitions that have come to light, but I always seemed to be a step behind in these visions. I joked often that these coincidences are so frequent that perhaps I should play the lottery, but that proved unsuccessful. Lastly, I truly enjoyed your talk and it sparked this email that I’m now sending because it seemed somehow relevant to what I’ve been experiencing or perhaps it is simply a common human experience that everyone experiences?
Take care and thank you for your thoughtful discussions,
Bill 😊
Blessings Stephan – keep up the vital work
Merry Christmas
