Michael Grosso was formerly an associate professor of philosophy and religion at Jersey City State College. Dr. Grosso is author of The Final Choice: Playing the Survival Game. He suggests that the rising tide of near-death experiences, religious miracles, and other paranormal phenomena are, in effect, a message to humanity as a whole. That message suggests that, as a species, we must either achieve a new level of enlightened transcendence or face extinction.
