We are extremely excited to announce our forthcoming launch of The Close Project.

 

Following on from where The Scole Experiment left off, our aim is to produce, test and use, the new technology invented by Paul Rowland, together with established, tried and tested methods, to carry out a thorough scientific period of research and tests over an initial 5-year period, in an attempt to conclusively prove the continued existence of consciousness beyond death.

 

We hope to be joined on our journey, by some of the most respected names in the various related fields of scientific and academic research of consciousness studies, including; ITC, NDE's and of course the big question of 'what is consciousness?'

 

We begin by attempting to change the very way scientists think about what any kind of life after death may actually be, and why so many great minds have failed to come up with a definitive answer despite centuries of previous research. It is our belief that the very methodology used by science, needs to change to achieve this.

 

There are three mainstream areas of general thinking here, mostly existing with very little concrete evidence currently;

1) The 'Christian' view. i.e. heaven, hell, = faith in an afterlife

2) The 'scientific' view. i.e. There is limited evidence to date to support the existence of an afterlife

3) The total skeptical view. I cannot imagine it, so I'll use some tired old theories to dismiss it!​

 

None of these three have ever been conclusively proven to be correct or incorrect, so all three must still be respected as valid theories until any definitive proof is provided (if it ever is and mankind has tried for centuries to do this! However, we believe we CAN) Shall we call it, at least for now, Schrodinger's Scientists?

 

If we are successful, it will undoubtedly be the biggest scientific breakthrough of all time and change the very way the human race thinks about 'life'. But first we must change the way SCIENCE thinks because what we may be about to discover, may not only be stranger than we imagine, but in fact, could be stranger than our human brain has the capability to imagine in human form.

 

This will require initial funding, to support our first year of development and design/build of new technology to be used throughout. We are therefore putting together a funding deck for grants, investments and angel backers, together with a sponsorship proposal, all of which will be released soon. In the meantime, we welcome enquiries from people who would be interested in helping support the project.

 

We are also open to early discussions with TV Producers, TV Productions Companies and Commissioning Editors about an ongoing exclusive deal for a 'Skinwalker Ranch style', long-running docu-series with global rights on offer, which will also help fund day to day operations of the small hand-picked full time team. (A full programme treatment is available on request) See more on this on the TV page of this website.

 

My own background in the research of anomalous phenomena, has taken me on an incredible journey from sceptic to believer over many years, and only through personal experiences and encounters that I believe have defied logical and rational explanation, have I become convinced that we have so much more to learn and so much more is yet to be discovered. We must however, think outside of the box.

 

The future could be about to arrive - be a part of it!
