COMMENTARY: HOW MATERIALIST
SCIENCE IS FAILING THE WORLD We
constantly see that our
academic institutions are dominated by an outdated materialist
worldview which refuses even to consider the existence
of the paranormal, the multi-dimensional nature of the
universe, and other than conscious ways of knowing.
Even when the evidence is objective and repeatable,
the negatively entrenched "old guard" stubbornly
reject it - but they do not show, and have never shown,
WHERE, WHEN, HOW and WHY the afterlife evidence is not
admissible and acceptable.
When it comes to explaining the big questions in life
- why are we here and what happens when we die - scientific
materialism would have us believe, contrary to all the
evidence, that life is a meaningless accident and that
death is oblivion. It has no satisfactory answers that
are of any help to those grieving for a loved one or
who are terrified of death.
PROFESSOR SIMON THORPE ARGUES
THAT PARANORMAL PHENOMENA SHOULD BE STUDIED SCIENTIFICALLY
Professor Thorpe, the
CNRS (French National Research Center) Director of Research
for the Brain and Cognition Research Center at the University
of Toulouse, talks about paranormal data obtained by
Rupert Sheldrake which is ignored by materialist scientists.
DEAN RADIN TALKS ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES
OF SYNESTHESIA Synesthesia
can occur between just about any combination of senses
or cognitive pathways. Synesthetes — or people
who have synesthesia — may see sounds, taste words
or feel a sensation on their skin when they smell certain
scents. Many reports we have about the afterlife mention
the fact that sounds there are seen as having colours.
Dr. Dean Radin writes about his
own experiences of synesthesia. And the musician
Duke Ellington said that his form of it was so extreme
that he saw a different colour when each different member
of his band played the same note. Read

VETERANS NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
Recent research shows
that combat veterans have a much higher incidence of
NDEs than the general public, yet their care providers
know virtually nothing about such events. Watch the
trailer for "Understanding Veterans' Near-Death
Experiences" to get a short overview of this new
video sponsored by the International Assoc. for Near
Death Studies, which addresses this problem. Order the
DVD from IANDS.org/vetvideo, or call 919-383-7940 Read

THE CHALLENGE
It has been over twenty years since
I challenged the closed-minded uninformed scientists
to take on my challenge of ONE MILLION DOLLARS if they
could disprove the evidence for the afterlife I presented.
I offered to publish any rebuttal of the evidence on
the internet for all the world to see if there was any
merit in it. I correctly stated that the flamboyant
orthodox skeptics, who get a lot of attention from the
materialist media, do not have the ability, the skills,
the competence to take on the task.
EVIDENTIAL MEDIUM SUSANNE WILSON:
BRINGING A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN TO EARTH
Susanne Wilson was a guest on George Noory's Coast to
Coast last night. Try to catch the episode if you can.
Her
book, Soul Smart, is now available on Amazon. Here
she is intervewed by Sandra Champlain who has a talent
for bringing out the best in her fascinating guests
on We
Don't Die Radio.
Both Susanne and Sandra are featured presenters in the
upcoming Afterlife Research and Education Symposium
September 13th - 16th. If you can't get there in person
watch
them BOTH in a livecast or on video.
OUR WONDERFUL ZOOM GROUPS ARE IN RECESS With
one or two notable exceptions, most of
our Zoom groups will be in recess during September as
so many of us will be traveling to the AREI Symposium
in Scottsdale. Karyn, Craig and I are very much looking
forward to meeting up with some of our group leaders
during the Symposium and would love to hear from people
who would be willing to start additional groups. In
the next 12 months we hope to create local groups worldwide
which can organise their own physical meet-ups. The
zoom room will remain open and those who are able are
welcome to use it to continue your conversations there
or on
our AREI Facebook discussion page. Access details
of current zoom groups and recordings here.
I SEE DEAD PEOPLE: DREAMS AND
VISIONS OF THE DYING
Dr. Christopher W. Kerr is the Chief Medical Officer
at The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo
New York. He is applying his background in research
to patients’ dreams and visions at the end of
life.
EARTH-LIFE AS A SCHOOL FOR YOUNG
SOULS "Imagine yourself
in an ideal world where everyone
is free to explore and develop their creative pursuits
and experience their unlimited potential. Does this
sound like heaven? Just think what an immature or undisciplined
being could and would do in this ideal thought-responsive
world. Picture the chaos and destruction that a single
primitive mind could create ...Now for a moment imagine
what kind of educational environment would be the perfect
training ground for this undisciplined mind...Welcome
to the dense training ground of matter, where focused
thoughts are required in order to create and prosper.
Welcome to the ideal environment where the young and
undisciplined mind can learn by trial and error without
contaminating the pure realm of spirit. Welcome to your
life." William Buhlman, The
Secret of the Soul.
BEING A CITIZEN OF NOSSO LAR A
talk by Steven McPherson offers a few thoughts on the
book "Nosso Lar" by Francisco Candido "Chico"
Xavier about the power of our thoughts and the importance
of good deeds. (The movie Astral City is available
on Gaia)
ETERNAL DAMNATION?
The other related issue for urgent
consideration by His
Holiness and the cardinals is the Catholic teaching
about 'eternal damnation'. Again, empirically elicited
information through psychic mediumship shows this not
to be correct. Whilst, empiricism supports the Church's
teaching that there is a dark sphere - perhaps theologians'
closest description is 'hell' - empiricists state that
those who go to the lower dark realms are NOT condemned
to stay in those horrible conditions for eternity.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: EVIDENCE
FOR REINCARNATION
What’s the view of past life regression as evidence
for reincarnation?
1.
Past life regression simply involves a person under
hypnosis going back through their childhood to an earlier
time. In many cases the person begins talking about
his or her life or lives before the present lifetime,
about their previous death and about the time between
lives including the planning of the present lifetime
… 2. Dr Alexander Cannon,
empirical investigator supports reincarnation. 3.Dr Gerald Edelstein psychotherapist
found that past life regressions always leads to rapid
improvements in the patient. 4. Dr Edith Fiore says…
"If someone’s phobia is eliminated instantly
and permanently after his remembrance of an event from
the past life … it makes logical sense that the
event must have happened." 5. Dr Morris Netherton …
was initially skeptical but as a result of his experience
with 8,000 patients became convinced of the effectiveness
of past life regression. 6. Dr Arthur Guirdham …
was always a skeptic called ‘Doubting Thomas’
…but after 44 years of regressions, he accepted
reincarnation. 7. Dr Helen Wombach
was a skeptic, but after 10,000 subjects using regression
she accepted reincarnation. 8. Dr Peter Ramster. One of the most
impressive past life regressionists. He was a skeptic,
but his repeated positive results convinced him of reincarnation. 9. Spontaneous Past-life Recall. The
internationally acclaimed Shanti Devi case is one of
the most spectacular cases in the history of spontaneous
past-life recall … 10.Dr Arthur Guirdham &
Mrs Smith: an English case that convinced many experts,
including the psychiatrist Dr Arthur Guirdham . For

SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS People
are always surprised in life reviews during a near-death
experience that it is often the tiny things they do
for others that leave the
biggest impact.
1) "Thank you for these reports!
There is a lot of time spent on these I am sure. I love
them!" Donna.
2) "Please know how much everyone
I know appreciates deeply the reports and keeps commenting
on them as life-saving! Warmest regards to you and Wendy."
Cristina.
3) "I have been reading your Afterlife Report for
years now, and it's changed my view of the world. But
I've learned to avoid talking about it with my intellectual
scientific friends. Their minds are not open to this
evidence, otherwise they would have to deal with the
great anxiety and insecurity provoked by this challenge
to their internal construct of objective reality."
Richard.
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: TRUE
COLOURS Billy Steinberg
originally wrote "True Colors" about his own
mother. Tom Kelly altered the first verse and the duo
originally submitted the song to Anne Murray, who passed
on recording it, and then to Cyndi Lauper. It became
a standard in the gay community. In various interviews,
Lauper elaborated that the song had resonated with her
because of the recent death of her friend, Gregory Natal,
from HIV/AIDS. Years later, Lauper co-founded the True
Colors Fund, a non-profit dedicated to eradicating LGBT
youth homelessness.
