What was Unique About the BICS Challenge?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Unlike the majority of research on the survival of human consciousness after death in the past 150 years, BICS decided to use an innovative approach. BICS boldly built on the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt<\/u><\/strong> obtained during the 2021 BICS Essay Contest and assumed (i) that the afterlife was real<\/strong> and (ii) that mediums could obtain valid information from the afterlife about success or failure of acquiring an increase in spirituality since 1857<\/strong>. Based upon this data from the BICS Essay Competition, BICS was not interested in \u201ctesting\u201d mediums. Rather, BICS focused on wisdom acquisition, in the form of querying the afterlife through sixty-seven mediums from six international teams on four foundational, interlinked, existential questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
