COMMENTARY:
WHY 'STUBBORNESS'
IS OUR GREATEST CHALLENGE The
word 'stubborn' can refer to someone who is unwilling
to accept anything that is contrary to his/her beliefs
- even when those beliefs are contrary to all the available
evidence.
My experience with people who have fixed
beliefs (be they religious, political, or in relation
to the paranormal) is that they refuse to investigate
the evidence, or even consider the possibility that
anything they have not grown up with, or currently accept,
could be true. Basically, they completely reject any
information which is not consistent with their familiar
beliefs - even if the new information is supported by
evidence.
We
are always puzzled when we present the
substantive evidence for the paranormal and the
afterlife to hard-core materialists and they refuse
to even examine it. Their excuse is "I don't care
what you say, there is no such thing as psychic phenomena
and there is no afterlife". (See Dan Drasin's parody
"I'm
a skeptic").
Yet, no genius scientist or skeptic tries to explain
WHY the substantive evidence for the afterlife cannot
be accepted. For those who have not read my very interesting

CELEBRITY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE In
2001, famed actress Sharon Stone had the worst headache
of her life. The pain was so severe, she says, that
she felt as if she had been shot in the head. Later,
doctors discovered that Sharon had experienced a stroke.
During this traumatic time, she had an MRI and remembers
seeing a white light and getting a glimpse into the
afterlife. Watch as Sharon recalls her much-reported
brush with death.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE "If
you succeed
in enabling
one soul in darkness to find the Light, one troubled,
wearied individual to gain strength, if you comfort
one mourner, if you heal one sick person, if you prevent
exploitation of and cruelty, even to one animal, then
indeed your earthly life has been well worth living
...
This is the greatest of all fights, the eternal war
against materialism, selfishness, these deadly diseases
that are festering in your world today and lead so many
on to foolish paths where they perish in the darkness
without a realisation of the purpose for which they
were born into the world." (Guidance
from S.Birch. '66 ed.).
CARLA WILLS BRANDON WRITES
"Though we live in a modern culture, many of us
still fear death. Physicists, physicians, nurses, and
mental health workers, researching afterlife experiences
and contact, tell us there is nothing to fear. We must
be willing to explore afterlife investigations in order
to see the spirit leaves the earthly body, reunites
with loved ones on the other side and continues to learn
and grow. This is guaranteed to all religious faiths,
creeds and even nonbelievers."
WHAT IS THAT 'LINK' THAT CONNECTS THE SPIRIT WITH THE
PHYSICAL BODY? The
link that connects the body with the spirit is usually
called the 'silver cord'. During our sleep at night, the
spirit body leaves the physical body. It journeys into
the astral dimension where it can operate according to
its level of vibrations. This is where we sometimes meet
up with our loved ones and friends who have crossed over.
But always during these night-time out of the body journeys,
the spirit is connected by the silver cord. It is only
when the silver cord is severed from the physical body
that the body can be regarded as 'dead'.
SITTING IN THE POWER
English medium Helen
Davita answers the question often asked, "What
is sitting in the power?" She recommends starting
your sitting in the power with 5 minutes a day - building
up to 20. If you can manage an hour great! However,
just 5 minutes to start will make all the difference
to you.
MEETING UP WITH FRIENDS IN THE
AFTERLIFE Tell me Victor, what
are the chances of my meeting up with my great friend
who passed on recently? Joe M. Victor:
Where there has been
a heart to heart connection and you are on a similar
level of spirituality and have shared interests, you
will undoubtedly make the effort to meet up. In
the afterlife, if there is a really close tie then meeting
up is almost automatic. If you are not on the same vibrational
level then the one who is on a higher vibrational level
can lower their vibrations to visit their friend.

body experiences in full waking consciousness. He explores
various dimensions and interviews people living in the
afterlife. See his

the AREI Special Interest group which meets weekly online
on Zoom.
HOW SOON AFTER DEATH CAN A PERSON
COMMUNICATE THROUGH A MEDIUM? It
depends on a variety of conditions. There are those
skeptics who cross over to the afterlife
and take a long time to adjust to the conditions there.
They could stay in a confused condition for many years.
But there are others who cross over with a knowledge
of afterlife matters; they know that it is possible
to get help to learn how to contact loved ones. And
some can communicate within a few moments of passing.

COMPASSION IN ACTIONProfessor Tony Attwood is an incredibly
compassionate, gentle and dedicated psychologist who
is recognised as a leading
authority on Asperger's Syndrome. He is credited
with being the first clinical psychologist to present
Asperger's Syndrome, not as something to be "fixed",
but as a gift. He claims it was a condition shared by
many of the great inventors and artists throughout history.
Tony operates his clinic two days a week and supports
children and adults by visiting them at school and home.
He also spends a large amount of time travelling nationally
and internationally to present workshops and papers.
FEEDBACK:
(Three only) 1) The American trance medium, Edgar Cayce,
has always said to wait 3 full days before burying or
cremating a body. The Japanese Spirit Guide, Matsuo Basho,
confirmed this and told us that during these 3 days, it
was like the spaghetti: all the various elements of the
body (spiritual elements and material elements) were splitting;
then the heaviest material elements were left behind ("the
Earth is taking back what is earthly") ; the most
spiritual elements rebuild themselves into the new etheric
body that has less density.
Maryse
2) Dear Wendy and
Victor,
Just to say thanks so much for posting Shirley Maclaine's
film "Out on Limb". Mind blowing: she wove
together ordinary human experience (albeit glamorous)
with out-of-this world spiritual thrills very effectively,
didn't she? I've always felt there's more to "reality"
than the one so many people limit themselves to. Guess
I learned that in a previous life! Anyway, it was thrilling
to watch this film on a freezing cold winter morning
in England, confirming my belief that there is so, so
much more.....Cheered me up no end!
I doubt if I'd have come across this
film if it wasn't for you. Thank you both for doing
your best to lift people's hearts and minds.
With love and light, Jo
HIGHLY INSPIRED MUSIC: Watch
this video carefully - and at times you will notice
something magical in the eyes of Lady Diana,Princess
of Wales: 1961 - 1997.
The song
"Candle In The Wind" was performed by sir
Elton John at her funeral. It was originally written
in 1973, in honor of Marilyn Monroe but Elton John performed
a rewritten version of the song as a tribute to Diana,
Princess of Wales. This version of the song was released
as a single and officially being listed as the second
best-selling single of all time, behind Bing Crosby's
"White Christmas".
