COMMENTARY:
WHAT IS PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP?
When spirit people use a medium to produce phenomena
that can be seen, heard or felt by everyone present
in the room, the medium is called a physical medium.
The kinds of phenomena produced can include bangs and
raps, moving objects with no apparent cause, levitating
tables and other objects, causing objects to dematerialize
and reappear elsewhere (apports) influencing scientific
instruments without touching them and producing whispered
voices and materialized hands.
In transfiguration
mediumship the spirit overshadows the medium and
alters the face and or body of the medium. This usually
happens in red light and people can see and talk to
their loved one.
Direct
voice mediumship is one of the most developed kinds
of physical mediumship where people in the spirit world
use the energy of the medium to create a voice-box independent
of the medium's. They use it to talk directly to their
loved ones in their own voice. The great Lesley
Flint was a direct voice medium but there were many
others.
The ultimate form of physical mediumship is materialisation
- where the spirits take on a full or partial solid
body which can sometimes be seen in red light. Lesley
Flint tried materialisations a few times but was uncomfortable
with it.
Although extremely rare today, from the middle of the
nineteenth century physical mediumship became very popular
in the UK, Australia, United States and all over Europe.
Some of the best physical mediums of the day were investigated
at length by the top scientists, doctors, lawyers, judges
and others who concluded that the effects were real
and there was no fraud going on. Read

AFTERLIFE INVESTIGATOR DAVID FONTANA TALKS ABOUT INVESTIGATING
MATERIALIZATION
In his monumental book “Is
there an Afterlife” respected psychic investigator
David Fontana describes how he saw and felt fully formed
hands during the Scole experiments (see pp. 324-347).
Here he describes his experiences.
LAWYER IDENTIFIES
JUDGE'S VOICE: Dr Aubrey Rose, OBE, CBE, one
of the most brilliant lawyers in England,
attended many sittings with Leslie Flint, a
direct voice medium, and claims that through Flint
he received “the most detailed evidence of survival
of the individual beyond this life.” In his autobiography
The
Rainbow Never Ends he states that his investigation
into the afterlife began when he heard a tape recording
of a voice he recognized as that of a deceased Judge,
Lord Birkett, speaking through Leslie Flint. Rose became
a close friend of Leslie Flint and went on to become
a spiritual healer himself.
BARBARA WHITFIELD'S NDE
During her first NDE
Barbara Whitfield met her grandmother and had a
profound experience of peace. However during her subsequent
NDE she has a most interesting life review where she
reviewed all the incidents of her life from her own
perspectives as well as from the point of view of everyone
else involved. This led to a deep realisation that we
are all connected. She goes on to talk about the difficulties
that those who have this experience find in trying to
integrate this knowledge.

DEAN RADIN'S SYNCHRONITY STORY
Many people in the New Age talk about trying to manifest
something with their thoughts. Dean Radin talks about
knocking on the door of a neighbour who had been using
a yoga practice to manifest a contact with him.
ALBERT BEST- BRILLIANT HEALER
AND MEDIUM Albert Best
was an Irish medium who moved to Scotland.
He was the mentor to the famous psychic, Gordon Smith.
In addition to being a medium, he was also a Spiritual
Healer. While he was serving overseas in WWII his wife
and three children were killed in an air raid on Belfast.
Later in life he claimed that he had been able to embrace
his materialized wife and three children during a home
circle with a materialization medium in Glasgow.
On his deathbed, he saw his wife and children in the
room with him. Witnesses, including Gordon Smith, state
that there were tears of joy in his eyes, and he told
visitors: 'They've come, you will have to let me go.
To which Ann Docherty, another medium present, replied:
'We were never holding you Albert'. He gave a last smile,
and slipped into a coma from which he never awoke. He
passed into Spirit on Friday 12th April 1996. To read
more about this amazing medium see 'Best'
of Both worlds: A tribute to a Great Medium.
GIVING THANKS FOR THE LIFE AND
SERVICE OF MEDIUM KEN PRETTY
Elizabeth Pretty, wife of Ken, writes:
"It
is with the deepest regret that I write to let you all
know that a great light for Spirit and Spiritualism
went out yesterday at approx 1pm [NZ time]. Whilst we
were holding our Anzac Service, Ken's earth journey
came to an end - quickly....
Ken came into this world on 2nd March 1931 with an astrological
chart showing his mediumistic and psychic talent in
10 of the 12 houses - with a mission to fulfil... I
would say it was a successful mission - well done, my
Dearest Darling. It was a privilege and a blessing to
share your life, God Bless."
Like the members of Auckland's Spiritualist Alliance,
Newmarket, and readers of Psychic World and
his friends in the UK and Spain, we knew Ken as a fearless
campaigner for Spiritualism and a dedicated teacher
of mediumship who made Spirit the center of his life.
Like them we say "well done...mission accomplished,"
and send our love to his wife, Elizabeth, his family,
students and friends.
SENSATIONAL WILLIAM STEAD
William Thomas Stead was Britain's first investigative
and most controversial journalist who created the modern
tabloid newspaper. A famous man during his lifetime,
he was a convinced spiritualist and published books
about survival after death both before he died, and
afterwards, following his drowning in the Titanic disaster
of 1912. After he died he came through many mediums
and even materialised in front of credible witnesses.
He channeled several books about what it is like on
The Other Side. One of them, The
Blue Island, can be downloaded free here.
SHOULD THOSE WHO DIE BE BURIED
IMMEDIATELY? If
the dead person had the knowledge about the afterlife
then that person can be cremated or buried at any time
after physical death. But if the person was ignorant
of afterlife knowledge, it is strongly recommended to
delay cremation-burial for at least three days. Some
sources say that if a person who is ignorant of the
afterlife is buried or cremated immediately, there could
be harm done to the spirit of that person. ALSO NOTE:
Information transmitted from the other side by highly
credible sources states that it is best if we sever
connections with physical earth and that cremation is
preferable to traditional burial.
LAURIN BELLG M.D. ON PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES OF THE DYING
Lauren is a critical care physician working
with very ill patients in the ICU. Over the past twenty
years, she has heard numerous mysterious and beautiful
stories that patients have returned from the brink of
death to share with her which she has included in her
book Near-Death
in the ICU. Here she talks about the reaction of doctors
to deathbed visions.
WHY SOME LOVED ONES DON'T MAKE
CONTACT
Victor: That very highly
credible Silver Birch who channels information from the
Higher Beings answers this one very well. He said: “There
is free
will. There is no compulsion to come back. It is not a
very attractive world to return to when you have tasted
some of the ineffable joys, beauty and radiance that are
available in our world. It requires a sacrifice to return,
to approach earth’s atmosphere, which is gloomy,
dark, dank and most un welcoming… We would be very
happy if spirit communication were achieved in which you
on earth met the people in our world returning half-way.
Alas it does not happen very often. It has to be a descent
into your atmosphere, your conditions, your vibrations.”
("Light
from Silver Birch" p.57)
LIFE'S THIRD ACT Within
this generation, an extra 30 years have been added to
our life expectancy. At TEDxWomen, Jane Fonda suggests
that we use some of this additional time to review our
lives, make peace with the past and forgive ourselves
and others.
1) Thank you Wendy and Victor...yet another week of dedication

HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC:
Here is one of
the most popular and the greatest love songs ever written
- with over 128 million hits. This most memorable and
a favourite song will make your day: the BEE GEES' How
Deep is Your Love.
"How Deep Is Your Love"
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love,
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love,
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love,
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
