COMMENTARY: SCIENTISTS UNDER PRESSURE
TO CONFORM
Many people wonder why there are not more scientists working
to provide evidence for the afterlife. It all has to do
with funding for scientific research. There are some rare
scientists who have a tenured position with a university
and the freedom to pursue independent research. But
job opportunities and money for research grants for scientists
have tightened over the years as governments have cut
funding.
As
a result there is career stress and pressure on scientists
to "self censor", to conform to the values of
those paying the bills. We now know big corporations used
scientists to hide the links between tobacco
and cancer and sugar
and heart disease.
Afterlife science has always been privately funded and
there are virtually no career opportunities, which explains
why most mainstream scientists don't get involved unless
they are motivated by personal experience. Those scientists,
like Dr. Julie Beischel (see next item), who do make the
courageous decision to stand up against the materialist
mainstream deserve our full support.
DR. JULIE BEISCHEL INTERVIEWED
BY ALEX TSAKIRIS ON SKPTICO
Julie talks about how she was preparing for a career in
the pharmaceutical industry when her mother committed
suicide. Her life and career plans changed when
she had a great reading from a medium. Listen

DEAN RADIN ON SCIENCE AND THE
TABOO OF PSI "The
"double-secret super taboos," otherwise known
as "woo-woo taboos," include anything in the
realm of psychic phenomena. It is generally believed
in the scientific community that spirituality has nothing
to offer science. However, some of the iconic figures
of science: Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton and Madame Curie,
were all actively interested in non-scientific endeavors
such as alchemy and contacting the dead."
THE SPR'S ANSWER TO WIKIPEDIA Thanks
to a bequest
by Nigel Buckmaster, the Society
for Psychical Research has just launched an online
Psi Encyclopedia "to provide a more informative view
of psi research, one that reflects the findings of experimenters
and investigators." It is a work in progress. Please
check it out and send us your feedback (books@victorzammit.com).
Some of the editors like Michael
Tymn have a deep understanding of afterlife research.
However others are strict parapsychologists who reject
the "spirit hypothesis" in favour of "super-psi".
Tom Butler, who has personally hosted physical medium,
Kai Muegge, claims that Stephen Braude's article on Kai
in the Psi Encyclopedia relies on the same tactics of
gossip and innuendo as the Wikipedia skeptics. More next
week.

WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN WE DIE? To many
people, how we are going to look in the afterlife is
still
a mystery. Arthur Findlay reports what was said by a
spirit during a direct voice seance with medium John
Sloan when a sitter asked him "I cannot see you,
but, if I could, what would you look like?"
Afterlife
entity: "I have a body which is a duplicate
of what I had on earth, the same hands, legs and feet,
and they move the same as yours do. This etheric body
I had on earth interpenetrated the physical body. The
etheric body is the real body and an exact duplicate
of our earth body. At death we just emerge from our
flesh covering and continue our life in the etheric
world, functioning by means of the etheric body just
as we functioned on earth in the physical body. The
etheric body is just as substantial to us now, as the
physical body was to us when we lived on earth..."

BELIEF IN HEAVEN AND HELL IN THE USA
The 2014 Pew Research Center Religious
Landscape
Study is an update on its 2007 study. Details were released
in May 2015. According to the report the share of U.S.
adults who say they believe in God has declined modestly
(between 2007 and 2014) from approximately 92% to 89%.
Roughly seven-in-ten (72%) said they believe in heaven
— defined as a place “where people who have
led good lives are eternally rewarded.” And at the
same time, 58% of U.S. adults also said they believe in
hell — a place “where people who have led
bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.”

MICHAEL NEWTON'S WORK ON PAST LIVES HAS INFLUENCED MANY
Thanks to Joseph Zammit forsharing

His work has changed my life profoundly. Thank you Michael...fare
well."
QUESTION: 'SUMMERLAND'
AND 'LEVEL OF THE LIGHT', Victor,
what is the level of the Light you often talk about?
Marion S Victor: The term 'Level of the Light'
is usually used outside the U.K. and refers to what
the British call the 'Summerland' or "the third
level". We are informed that this is a level of
consciousness which the good average person experiences
after crossing over.
Those
who live there describe it as a blissful land of rest
and harmony - very earthlike but much more beautiful.
They have trees, animals, houses, lakes, gardens, rivers,
recreational activities, halls of learning and infinite
leisure. The weather is always perfect, blue skies and
sunshine. We will always be in perfect health. But after
a while there we feel an urge to do some spiritual 'work'
- to make a contribution - to raise our vibrations to
move on to a higher Level where it is far more beautiful.
Read
more about different dimensions.
QUESTION: Victor,
This interests me greatly: you said that we get out
of our body at night when we sleep and go to the afterlife.
Where do we go? And what do we do? Allison G
Victor: Directly from the afterlife
we are informed: "Every
night you leave your physical body behind. Your experiences
are divided into two kinds. One is instructional, and
the other is purely entertainment. On the instructional
side, you are taught about the equipment of your spiritual
body which will come in very handy in the years that
are yet to unfold. On the entertainment side, you visit
many of the halls of activity to see what is going on.
... You do not remember these experiences because it
is like a small glass of water which cannot hold all
that is in the big jug".
But you do re-unite with loved ones - and all these
memories will be retained by you when you cross over
to help you speedily to adjust to the afterlife conditions.
CASTING SPELLS: I
came across a most worried lady recently who asked me
if psychic-mediums have powers to cast a spell upon people.
"One of them told me that a psychic cast a nasty
spell on to me and she said she could remove the spell
if I paid her a thousand dollars. She really scared me.
Could that really happen. Please help me."
Victor: The answer is NO. If any psychic
talks to you
about removing a curse, or "cleansing" your
money, or turning back time, RUN!!!
This is an old
trick to steal money from those who are uninformed.
Reputable psychics will never offer to remove curses or
to give you charms to influence another person against
their will.
See IPA code of ethics.
Information transmitted directly from the afterlife tells
us that people do not have 'magical powers' to hurt people.
"Do not attach belief to any pretended magical power,
which exists only in the imagination of superstitious
people, ignorant of the true laws of nature." (from
The Spirits Book).
WHEN EXTREME SKEPTICS GOOF "I'm not
impressed by the afterlife evidence."
So said one flamboyant psychologist in a recent email
to me. I do not have permission to reveal her name but
I can answer her invalid objection. In professional
debate, she would be seen as not having rebutted the
evidence. Simply saying that you are not impressed is
not enough. The skeptic has to show how and why the
assembled evidence, which includes the findings of genius-level
scientists, cannot be accepted.

YOUR IMMORTAL SELF
Roberta
Grimes will be doing a
live interview with Tom Butler, one of the most well
qualified and respected modern researchers of afterlife
evidence. He is perhaps best known for his co-leadership,
along with his wife Lisa, of the American Association
for EVP which in 2010 evolved into Association
Transcommunication. Before that he and Lisa were involved
in several healing modalities (Reiki and Spiritualist
healing) and were ordained by the National Spiritualist
Association of Churches
(NSAC) as healers, mediums and teachers.
Now he has put a lifetime of learning into his important
new book Your
Immortal Self. We will be featuring it next week
along with the recording of his interview with Roberta.

1) Wow, Friday again. How come I missed Tues, Wed, Thurs
this week. Gosh, I haven't even finished all the little
side trails of last week. Thank you Victor and Wendy,
I am sure it is going to be an action packed Frid. report
as per usual. Karyn
2) Matt Fraser is interesting because he gives information,
often specific, at the speed of an express train without
asking lots questions, or seeking confirmations that he
is going in the right direction. Your reports are like
getting a Christmas sack of goodies every week. Thank
you. Lynne.
3) Victor thanks again for the Friday report. In my opinion
non-believers are here for an earthly experience and don’t
want anything to interfere with that. Tony
THE MAGIC OF MUSIC:
A very special love song for someone
special - a nostalgic memorable song of the yesteryear
by Bobby Darin, pictured with his wife Sandra Dee. They
were the love story of their generation; their life
was full of fame and love but they also had intense
problems and Bobby died at age 37. Sit back, relax and
let this magnificent music lighten your day - a really
wonderful nostalgic music that stirs the soul.
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream
