COMMENTARY:
ANNOUNCING THE FORMATION OF A WONDERFUL NEW AFTERLIFE
ORGANISATION
Wendy and I are proud to be a part of The
Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc.,
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by
Craig Hogan and Roberta Grimes to support afterlife research,
development of afterlife communication methods, and activities
that teach people about the afterlife and afterlife communication.
The Institute's goals are to help humankind understand
our true nature as spiritual beings having a physical
experience so people live together in brotherhood and
harmony, and to make it possible for anyone to have healing,
uplifting communication with loved ones on the next plane
of life.
For researchers, developers, and educators in afterlife
studies and afterlife communication, the Institute will
locate and make available needed resources for their work,
especially funding for research, development, and education
projects. We invite all our subscribers who are in a position
to do so to become foundation members and to plan to join
us in Scottsdale Arizona for the next annual conference
from September 15-18 at the Embassy Suites Hotel. Read

HALLOWEEN
AND THE NEED FOR AFTERLIFE EDUCATION Our very
best wishes to all our friends throughout the world who
are celebrating Halloween this weekend. While it is a
fun festival which brings people together, it can also
be an opportunity for those who are informed about the
afterlife to quietly educate others. Clearly there are
still many people who are frightened of any spirit
contact, which denies them and their loved ones of a very
important channel of communication and comfort.
DO GHOSTS EXIST? The common
definition of a ghost is
"an apparition of a dead person that is believed
to appear or become manifest to the living, typically
as a nebulous image". Such "apparitions"
have been reported in every culture on earth and have
been studied scientifically since 1882 when a study was
begun in England. Altogether 32,000 cases were recorded,
17,000 in English. It was published in Volume X of the
Society
for Psychical Research Proceedings (1894). Further
studies were carried out by the American Society for Psychical
Research and by the French researcher Camille Flammarion.
BUT ARE THEY SPIRITS OF THE DEAD?
In residual haunting cases,
people
report seeing, hearing, feeling or even smelling the presence
of people engaged in some sort of activity. Apparently
battlefields are well known for this. People often report
seeing soldiers run past them and hear gunshots and the
sound of drums and horses. See
video 10 most haunted battlefields. One theory is
that, in some way currently unknown, the buildings and
ground have recorded aspects of their history which sensitive
people can decode. Another theory is that what is being
witnessed are projections memories from spirit people
or even thoughtforms created by people who have conjured
up images of the battle in their own minds.
HARRY MARTINDALE AND THE ROMAN SOLDIERSParapsychologists
would say that Harry Martindale's 'ghosts' fit the category
of a residual haunting and are not real spirit people.The
soldiers don't interact with the observers and just
continue marching as though no-one is there, just like
a holographic video recording.
THE
MOST IMPORTANT MODERN STUDY OF APPARTIONS
Scientist, Dr Erlendur Haraldsson from Iceland, sought
an answer to his question, “Have you ever been aware
of the presence of a deceased person?” He conducted
an extensive survey with the 450 people who said yes.
The great majority (67%) said that they had visual contact.
The cause of death was known and verified by checking
official records for about 80 percent of the cases; in
30 percent of these cases the person had died violently.
The percentage of violent deaths in the study was almost
four times higher than the percentage of death by violence
in Iceland during the relevant time period. Read examples
from The
Departed Among the Living.
HOW DO SPIRITS CONTACT US? Charmaine
Wilson is a wonderful down to earth Australian medium.
Here she lists some of the most frequent ways those who
have crossed over try to let us know that they are around
us. She claims that it is quite normal for young children
to see crossed over loved ones.
GUIDED AFTERLIFE CONNECTIONS Many
people
are able to have direct communication with loved ones
in the afterlife. Guided
Afterlife Connections can be facilitated by psychotherapists
in their offices. They are over 95% successful, and they
reduce grief from an average of 9.42 on a 10-point scale
to an average of 1.41 in one session. Self-guided
Afterlife Connections use a procedure available free
on the Internet. Anyone can go through it in their home,
at any time. It is 86% successful in helping people have
connections. Read

OUR LOVED ONES IN SPIRIT TRY TO HELP US
Sometimes our loved ones come to us in
times of crisis with a warning. This is what happened
to Bill Guggenheim when he heard his deceased father's
voice say "go check the swimming pool". Here
Judy Guggenheim explains to John Edward.
COMMUNICATION THROUGH A MENTAL MEDIUM
Mental mediumship is the most well-known form of mediumship
in the modern Western world. A mental medium is someone
who is able to see, hear, smell or sense people in the
spirit world as well as being psychic. Many of the best
mental mediums are able to give public demonstrations
of evidence of survival of their loved ones to large numbers
of people as well giving private readings. Read

HARRY HOUDINI CAME BACK THROUGH
A PHYSICAL MEDIUM A
favourite Halloween newspaper item
is the annual attempt by ghosthunters to contact magician
and escape artist, Harry Houdini, who died on Halloween
night in 1926. Every October 31, from 1927 up to the
present day, a séance has been conducted on the
anniversary of his death. Results are always reported
in the mainstream media as being unsuccessful. However,
clearly the magicians conducting their "seance"
have been going about it in the wrong way. Harry Houdini
has been communicating very effectively in seances through
materialisation medium David Thompson in New Zealand,
Australia and in England. Listen.
PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THEY ARE DEAD Emanuel
Swedenborg was one of the leading scientists
of his day. He was also a very highly gifted clairvoyant
and out of body traveller who spent more than twenty years
investigating other dimensions. He wrote volumes about
what today would be called his experiences in other dimensions,
including very detailed descriptions of the afterlife.
Here two Swedenborg scholars discuss his discovery that
many spirits don't realise that they are dead.
DR. EDITH FIORE AND 'THE UNQUIET DEAD'
All traditional cultures claim that some spirits do
not cross over to the light when they die. Instead,
they say, these spirits try to 'take over' the bodies
of the living by influencing their minds. Today this
idea accepted in Spiritism, highly controversial among
Spiritualists and is rejected by mainstream Western
psychiatry. However Dr. Edith Fiore and a small number
of other psychiatrists support the idea. They claim
that some spirits become confused after they die and
do not cross over to the light. They further claim that
some of them become 'ghosts' and stay close to the earth
because of addictions. Perhaps it was similar ideas
that led to the belief in "hungry
ghosts" which is widespread in Asia and to
fear of spirit contact.
'LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE' - THE LAW
OF ATTRACTION "A
group that meets in harmony and with pure and selfless
motives, will, by The Law of Attraction, draw spirit people
of like nature and thought; and they will, if needed,
enlist the aid of others in establishing a circle of light
that uninvited or undesirable entities would find most
difficult to penetrate. This also applies to individuals
who "sit" alone for communication with spirit
people. In both cases, the latter especially, the right
mental attitude is of utmost importance in helping to
prevent obsession." Spiritual
Light- p.467.

FEEDBACK:
Every now and then we
receive some feedback that stops us in our tracks.
" I was a police officer for over 20 years and
I suffered from nightmares for years. I never tried
to get help due to the social stigma attached to it.
I have only regained any semblance of rest because of
a past life regression that I did about two years ago.
It absolutely changed my life, for the better. The nightmares
are gone and I am a more compassionate man. My wife
has even remarked that the change in me is profound.
Gone, is the anger and mistrust I held in my heart for
so many years. Victor, your Friday reports have opened
something inside of me that I thought had died. I have
forwarded your Friday reports to many of my police officer
friends hoping that it will change their lives like
it has changed mine. You will never know how much I
appreciate your tireless work. Thank you from the bottom
of this old cop's heart. "
Mark
Thank you Mark, you made our day, our week
and our year. It is hearing feedback like this that
makes our research all worthwhile.
SOMETHING INSPIRATIONAL: GHOST- THE MOVIE
FINAL SCENE
Whilst we encourage and we publish many
papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are not
in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims.
We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal
research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
