COMMENTARY: THE OTHER 19 AREAS
OF EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE It
seems that near-death experiences are the only evidence
of the afterlife that many people have heard of. I often
come across skeptics who (wrongly) say that near-death
experiences can be attributed to the physiological effects
of the dying brain ( see
15 reasons why this is not true) and therefore the
afterlife does not exist.
But there is far more evidence for the afterlife than
the NDE. As an attorney with professional expertise
in the admissibility of evidence, the onus has been
on me to present multiple areas of evidence
that show the afterlife exists. That is why in our book
A
Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife,
outlines are given of more than TWENTY different areas
of afterlife evidence.
Many years ago I challenged the skeptics to show where,
when, how and why this evidence is wrong. It NEVER happened.
Is there some genius skeptic out there who has the skills,
the ability, the intelligence, the professionalism and
the genius to disprove the evidence I presented??
EXTRACT FROM A RECENT REVIEW OF
OUR BOOK "This
book is compelling, persuasive, believable. I am a former
and reformed elder of a Church of Christ, an eighty nine
year old veteran of the 1945 Pacific War. I have had at
least four recognizable contacts with my wife of sixty
seven years who 'died' Sept. 25, 2015. I am not inexperienced
or uneducated." (See
Amazon for more reviews)
CLEAR AND STRUCTURED MEMORIES NDE survivors have clear and structured
memories of what happened to them, memories which they
remember with full clarity all their life. Patients who
did not have a NDE during similar treatment were very
confused or could not remember anything.
INDEPENDENT DIRECT VOICE MEDIUMSHIP One
of the most convincing areas of afterlife evidence is
independent direct voice mediumship. Yet it is something
that most people have never heard of. When the conditions
are right, the spirit operators may be able to build an
ectoplasmic Voice Box, either in mid air and on the the
side of the neck or on the shoulder or the physical medium.
(See photo of medium Leslie Flint with voice box on his
shoulder). People can then have extended conversations
with their loved one, who speaks in his/her own voice,
sometimes at a great distance from the medium. The voices
can be heard by everyone present and can be recorded.
Sometimes the medium can be conscious and join in the
conversation. Wendy and I have listened to direct voice
mediumship on more than 200 occasions and can verify that
it is real.
THE DOUGLAS CONACHER TAPES Douglas
Conacher was a London Publisher who passed in 1958. He
began speaking to his wife, Eira, through the direct voice
mediumship of Leslie Flint in 1959. There are more
than 40 recorded, separate, intimate conversations
between husband and wife. In the first one, the first
spirit heard is Leslie's 'guide,' Mickey, and then a woman
from the spirit world. Then Douglas Conacher comes through
and explains to his wife that he visits her every day
and that she visits him in the spirit world at night.
He also describes his activities in the spirit world.
Listen
to their first conversation.
ENCOURAGING WORDS "Remember
always that you are spirits manifesting through bodies,
and that nothing which happens, nothing, can harm or hurt
your eternal spirit. You must say to yourself, 'I am part
of the Great Spirit; part of His divinity is within me
and part of His divine strength is at my disposal when
I want it'. In hours of weakness call on that strength
and it will help you". Silver Birch.
LIFE AFTER DEATH
FROM A NON-BELIEVER'S PERSPECTIVE Donna
Moncrieffe, director of Metaphysics Research (www.medium7.com)
conducts a debriefing with an individual after his first
reading with an evidential mental medium. This individual
participated in the reading as part of the "Male
Non-Believer" experiments. One of the objectives
of this research is to identify and assess evidence
of life after death using double blind techniques with
individuals who do not believe in life after death.
CELEBRITY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCER GEORGE HARRISON
Harrison was perhaps one of
the most spiritual of popular musicians of our times.
His spiritual quest began in his mid 20s, when he realized
for the first time that "Everything else can wait,
but the search for God cannot..." This search led
him to delve deep into the mystical world of Eastern religions,
especially Hinduism, Indian philosophy, culture, and music.
Harrison firmly believed that "life on Earth is but
a fleeting illusion edged between lives past and future
beyond physical mortal reality." Speaking on reincarnation
in 1968, he said: "You go on being reincarnated until
you reach the actual Truth. Heaven and Hell are just a
state of mind. We are all here to become Christ-like.
The actual world is an illusion." Read

TOM BUTLER'S NEW BOOK Tom
Butler has fifty years of experience as an afterlife researcher
and a leader in EVP and ITC. His new book,Your Immortal
Self is a must-read.
The first Part called Implicit Cosmology is an
attempt to explain that we are spirit having a human experience,
our purpose for existing, and how we relate to reality.
Tom feels that before working in one particular area of
research, like EVP, people need to understand the big
picture.
In the second Part, called Community, Tom argues
that paranormalist community is fragmented into little
groups, which study their own particular area, and that
there is very little cross-community collaboration. He
talks about his disappointment with mainstream scientists
for not examining the evidence of ITC. He sees parapsychologists
as "trojan horses" since they claim to accept
the evidence but then try to explain it as "super-psi".
He shares his extreme frustration in being a Wikipedia
editor since 2006 and talks about the need for an alternative
to Wikipedia.
The third Part called Transcommunication is composed
of 11 studies which summarise practical aspects of investigating
EVP (Audio ITC), Visual ITC, Artifacts and Perceptual
Error, Mediumship, Healing and examples of best practice.

QUESTION You said in the past, Victor,
that when we go to the afterlife we continue to learn
and to do useful work. I really cannot imagine what I
could be doing - I am an electrician. Steve S.
Victor: You are quite right - there will be no
need for electricians in the afterlife. But you may be
able to explore aspects of physics which relate to electricity.
And you will be able to explore other talents that you
never had a chance to develop in life and do work which
brings joy to yourself and others.
"With
us service does not mean an eternal round of distasteful
and laborious tasks. What we do, we do willingly because
we have chosen that particular form of work. We do the
work that suits us, for which we have a natural aptitude
or talent, the work that brings us the greatest satisfaction
which will produce the best results proportionate to our
labour, and which will bring the greatest benefit to others,
either directly or indirectly." Hugh Benson.
HEALING: THE IMPORTANCE OF POSITIVE THINKING
"Alternative
medicine recognises
the physical reality of thought and the enormous part
it has to play in the overall well-being of man-woman.
Negative thoughts and repressed emotions, as destructive
vibrations in the energy body, can have detrimental effects
on the physical body. The converse is also true. Positive
thoughts and emotions, harmonising the super-energy field,
can heal the physical body. The effect of the mind on
the body is, of course, recognised in orthodox medicine
under the term 'psychosomatic'."

of the Gods, David Ash & P. Hewitt). Read

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU WAIT BFORE HAVING A READING WITH A
MEDIUM?
WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE ON EARTH FOR EVER? Every
now and then people come up with
a promise to enable people to live forever, whether
by cryogenics
or by technological
advancement. There is even a group claiming that,
for a price, they can give you pills that will guarantee
a permanent extension to your life. Clearly there are
frauds everywhere. But seriously, who would want to
stick around that long?
Those who understand what happens to us after we cross
over, are looking forward to it: a place of glorious
beauty, where we will be in perfect health, do not have
to eat, drink or sleep - where we will regress to a
younger age full of energy, peace and love.
HOW RELIABLE ARE ANCIENT RELIGIOUS
TEACHINGS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE? There
is a huge problem
with all established religious creeds.
Firstly the greatest problem is there is no evidence
about WHO actually wrote the religious writings in the
Bible, the Talmud, Bhagavad Gita and other 'holy books'.
Secondly,
there is debate about why some spiritual teachings
were chosen for inclusion and others, just as spiritual,
were not. Thirdly, these ancient religious writings
of thousands of years ago were written in times of great
superstition, when all the world thought the earth was
flat. Inevitably they were influenced by the superstitious
thought, customs and social structures of the day.
Fourthly,
no one has ever seen the original scripts and the books
contain many fundamental inconsistencies. They contain
claims that we know are not true, e.g. the world being
flat, stopping the sun etc.
Fifthly, once religions were institutionalized,
the leaders were in a position to make changes in the
writings to entrench their own power.
On crossing over it is how spiritually evolved
we are that will determine the conditions we find ourselves
in, not how religious we were. Of course, if your religion
helps you to become more spiritual, loving and forgiving,
that is wonderful.
TEXAS NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE PANEL Moderated
by Linda Truax, this 2016 IANDS panel includes Sharon
Heller – The Brain Gym Lady; Ellyn
Dye, intuitive coach and healer and Rudi Rudenski
who claims that before his NDE he was a "Christian
jihadist". Rudi had an NDE while serving on active
duty and changed from hating everyone not just like him
to loving everyone.
AREI COMPILING A LIST OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
AREI has been asked
to compile a list of universities and other education
institutions that provide programs in afterlife studies,
afterlife communication, parapsychology, metaphysics,
and other related fields. AREI will be developing the
list. If you would like to help in this AREI activity,
send an e-mail to r.craig.hogan@afterlifeinstitute.org.
1. 'I
cannot understand why scientists are so closed minded.
The Afterlife is something which affects us all. How much
proof would be sufficient for these skeptics? I have read
and experienced so much evidence, including your wonderful
book. Knowing about the Afterlife and getting signs helped
me with grieving for my wonderful husband. Knowledge is
power.' Joyce.
2. "The SPRs wiki page you sent in
the last Afterlife Report had mostly tone in similar lines
to wikipedia and skeptics...except they support Psi and
super psi which they try to specificize as living agent
psi. Here in this
page they say that the non-survivalist but pro-psi
is the more plausible alternative than survival. They
indicate that for both nde and reincarnation, psi is responsible...though
they don't say this in words but overall tone is kind
of like that, and they say the same for mediumship."
Dr Parizat Mukherjee
3. 'We
cannot wait for the establishment we will all be working
spiritside if we rely on them too many things going
on we might as well be leading the way.' Karyn
THE MAGIC OF MUSIC
George Harrison
of the Beatles, one of the greatest performers in the
world, sings his most successful and most memorable
song. MY SWEET LORD has over 27 million hits.
The music clip shows photos of the highly spiritual
George from age 17 until he tragically died at a fairly
young age (58) in 2001. Very nostalgic, emotional but
also memorable.
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. ALL WORK
