We had a great evening of storytelling and lively conversation at the Continuum Center in Minneapolis on Wednesday, October 1. There were close to 100 people in the audience to hear six of the contributors to my book, Sixty Seconds: One Moment Changes Everything. I shared some photos from that evening in an earlier post but I now have the full video from that evening, courtesy of video master Roger Anderson. I hope you enjoy the presentations!
I KICK THINGS OFF WITH A STORY
Known as the “compassionate coroner,” Dr. Amatuzio writes and speaks about her personal experiences and insights regarding life after death and how to apply those lessons to live a richer, more rewarding life. She is a board-certified forensic pathologist and Chief Medical Examiner of Minnesota’s Anoka County system. Midwest Forensic Pathology, the company she founded, provides private autopsy services to numerous counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Her books, Forever Ours and Beyond Knowing, feature heartfelt stories of otherworldly experiences from patients transitioning between life and death, their grieving loved ones, police, clergy, and others.
Veeck, a third-generation baseball executive, is a minority owner in five minor-league teams and a consultant to five others. His grandfather, William Veeck Sr., was a sportswriter who became president of the Chicago Cubs. His father, Bill Veeck, was a legendary maverick who owned, at various times, the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns, and Chicago White Sox. Mike Veeck held major-league marketing positions for the Chicago White Sox, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Florida Marlins, and Detroit Tigers. Founder of the Veeck Promotional Seminar, he released a corporate training video based on his “Fun is Good” philosophy as well as a Fun Is Good book.
Bodine, a psychic, spiritual healer, ghostbuster, and author, offers psychic development and healing classes at her Minneapolis teaching and healing center. Her abilities include clairvoyance (the gift of seeing), clairaudience (the gift of hearing), and clairsentience (the gift of sensing). Her ninebooks include Look for the Good and You’ll Find God; A Still Small Voice: A Psychic’s Guide to Awakening Intuition; The Key: Unlock Your Psychic Abilities; and Echoes of the Soul: The Soul’s Journey Beyond the Light.
Harwig’s books include The Intuitive Advantage, Palm Visions, and The Angel in the Big Pink Hat. Harwig, who speaks and holds seminars on intuition and life after death, is a frequent presenter at retreats and conferences. She is a regular monthly guest on WCCO radio in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Tucker, who still ranks as one of the top ten three-point shooters in NBA history, played for the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls in an eleven-year career, winning a world championship with the Bulls in 1993. Tucker is currently a broadcast analyst for a Minneapolis sports-talk radio station. A longtime community activist, he founded the Trent Tucker Non-Profit Organization to empower youth to make positive choices, elevate their self-respect, and develop a positive vision for the future.
JIM PETERSEN
Petersen, a television analyst for the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves, played eight seasons for the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, and Golden State Warriors. His best year as a professional came during the 1986–87 NBA season as a member of the Rockets, when he averaged 11.3 points per game.

Schedule a Mastery Mentoring phone session with Phil to learn how to apply principles of spiritual living more effortlessly and effectively. Priced affordably! Click here to e-mail Phil for details.
Phil’s eBook, The Logic of Living a Spiritual Life: Supporting a Life of Faith Through Logic and Reason, is now available for 99 cents.
Order it at GodIsLogical.com.
In this eBook, you’ll find answers to questions like:
• What is the cornerstone of a spiritual life, and why?
• What is the secret to liberating yourself from other people’s judgments and expectations?
• How do you reconcile the “free will vs. Divine Will” conundrum?
• Why is there an exception to “Everything happens for a reason”?
Those who worship logic instead of God are only half right. Not only is it logical to believe in God and to live a faith-based life, the existence of a loving, benevolent God that governs all creation is perhaps the only systematic worldview that explains every aspect of life.
Phil is also the author of Sixty Seconds: One Moment Changes Everything, a collection of 45 inspiring, life-changing stories from prominent authors and thought leaders he interviewed. The roster of storytellers includes Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Caroline Myss, Larry Dossey, Rachel Naomi Remen, Bernie Siegel, Dean Ornish, and Christiane Northrup. Sixty Seconds has been translated into four languages: Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Reading this book is like spending a few minutes face to face with each of the contributors and listening to their personal stories.

Triumph of the Spirit 
December 29, 2013 at 5:39 AM
As someone whose been brought up in strict conservative christian background and used to be strict christian and surrounded mostly by christians & muslims and somewhat “spiritual” people (some of whose experiences I don’t necessarily relate with), I feel kind of like I’m in between and it can get very frustrating. I have many questions about many things and been working on conscious astral projection for a long time now. I’ve had etheric OBEs and lucid dreams but I want the conscious astral projection since I feel it’s the closest to being out of one’s body. I want to be able to see my own body lying down and I’m all round curious about what happens after death. I took a psychedelic and since then been fascinated with the subject.It’s nice to hear about the “alternative” stories that are not christian and black and white-hell, heaven and that’s it. I’m tired of the scary stories

Thank you for your comment, Floss. If you’re interested in OBEs, I recommend Robert Peterson’s book, Out-of-Body Experiences: How to Have Them and What to Expect at http://www.amazon.com/dp/1571746994/?tag=sixtseco-20.
That said, I’d also like to mention that pursuing OBEs and other metaphysical powers is a distraction from the ultimate goal of developing a relationship with God. Paramahansa Yogananda addressed that issue here: https://bolstablog.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/god-circus/
If you are interested in learning how to lead a spiritual life, I recommend my book, Through God’s Eyes: Finding Peace and Purpose in a Troubled World. You can order it at http://GodsEyesAmazon.com
Best of luck to you, Floss!
