COMMENTARY:
LEVELS OF PROOF Our legal system has set
up three different standards for evidence.
1. PRIMA FACIE (On the Face of It): This
is similar to the anecdotal level of evidence. It is the
weakest test of evidence not reaching up to 50%
2. ON BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES This
is the test in civil (personal) disputes. It means more
likely than not, more than 51%. The Church uses this test
of evidence for their beliefs.
3. BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT This is the
test of evidence used in all criminal cases in the Western
world and in those legal systems which follow the British
model. The judge or jury will have to decide if the evidence
presented makes a case beyond a reasonable doubt - say
90% convincing. If they have even 10% doubt, they have
to find the defendant not guilty of the offence.
HOWEVER
having spent almost thirty years studying the
evidence for the afterlife I have reached the conclusion
that the evidence, taken as a whole, reaches a whole new
standard: BEYOND ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER.
VERIDICAL NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
One of the strongest lines of evidence
that consciousness does not depend on the brain is the
fact that many people are able to accurately report things
that happen when they are "brain dead". These reports
seem to have additional weight when they come from respected
surgeons. In this video, Dr. Lloyd Rudy, a pioneer of
cardiac surgery, tells stories of two patients who came
back to life after being declared dead, and what they
told him. For more examples of similar experiences see
The Self Does Not Die.
'ALL MOTION IS RELATIVE' Our
yearly reminder that 'inertia'
creates a gap. Some highly materialistic scientists, on
the one hand, and conservative theologians, on the other,
find that the gap between their beliefs and the evidence
for the afterlife is getting bigger and bigger all the
time. But all motion is relative. It may be that they
have widened the gap by STANDING STILL - by not keeping
up with post-materialist science and investigating the
afterlife evidence!
DR. ALAN ROSS HUGENOT ON THE
NATURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Dr. Hugenot holds a Doctorate of Science in Mechanical
Engineering. He tells us about his near-death experience
and that following it he ended up being a medium. The
video also includes footage of Dr. Pim von Lommel, Dr.
Peter Russell, Dr. Gary Schwartz, Dr. Russell Targ,
and others.
THIS LIFE NEXT LIFE
This video documentary, 'This Life, Next Life', covers
the Cross Correspondences, the Scole Experiment, drop-in
communicators, EVP, the mediumship of Mrs. Leonora Piper,
together with a discussion of brain and mind. Are they
the same or different? Interviews with Prof. David Fontana
& Prof. Archie Roy, (former presidents of the SPR);
Victor Zammit, former Australian attorney; Robin Foy,
the Scole Group leader; Dr. Anabela Cardoso, Editor
of the ITC Journal; Prof. Bruce Greyson of the University
of Virginia; and Dr. Peter Fenwick – a consultant neuro-physiologist.
RESEARCH HELP NEEDED Keith
Parsons (above)
is making another documentary, this time about about
physical medium, Carmine
Mirabelli. He has done all the basic and online
research but he can't locate two famous photos of materialised
figures. He writes: "The ones I need are the materialisation
of Bishop Barros and the materialisation of De Souza's
daughter." If anyone can help with these two photos
only (we have many others) please email us books@victorzammit.com
AREI ZOOM GROUPS WEEK STARTING
JANUARY 26th Like-minded
people will be gathering together all over the world
this week to share afterlife experiences, learn skills
and make new friends. This week
in the UK/EUROPE meeting we will have a talk and demonstration
of trance mediumship. In the Global Gathering, Rob Blackburn
will be beginning his research about guides, helpers,
healers and other entities who make up the spirit teams
of both physical and mental mediums. Come along and
share what you know about your own gudes. Details and

MEDIUM ESTELLE ROBERTS SPEAKS
FROM THE AFTERLIFE Famous
Spirit Medium, Estelle
Roberts, who died in 1970, returned through direct
voice medium Leslie Flint to speak to her long-time
friends, Ida
and Louise Cook, in 1972. With over 50 years experience,
she often demonstrated her clairvoyance and trance work
to packed venues, including the Royal Albert Hall. Here,
she returns to speak in depth - but only a whisper -
to share her philosophy on the great responsibility
of being a Medium and the importance of the home circle.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE: IMPORTANT
INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE AFTERLIFE "In
our world thought is the building material that creates
everything that exists. So whatever you think is there.
People who come here with greed and desire for power
still have them until they learn that it is useless.
When they are ready to be released from this earthbound
condition, they can be helped.
The trouble is that lust for power and greed chain them
to earth. Though materially dead, they are spiritually
dead as well. They are nearer to your world than they
are to us. Unfortunately, they can harm those like themselves
in your world who are concerned only with greed and
power." (S. Birch)
A WAY TO RISE ABOVE THE DRAMA
Do you find yourself getting caught up in other people's
dramas? Metaphysical teacher Suzanne
Giesemann shares a simple trick to take you out
of judgment and into a place of peace.
LOVE IN THE AFTERLIFE I
am living with my soul mate and love him dearly. Tell
me, is there love in the afterlife? Is there romance?
I'm very eager to know that.
Victor: Guaranteed, there will be love - and romance
- on crossing over. Love, we are informed from the other
side, is the most powerful force in the universe and
physical death cannot destroy love. Soul mates - whose
relationship is a spiritual heart to heart love-connection
will continue their love in the afterlife dimension
for a long, long time. During the 1990s information
coming though the Luxembourg ITC communications confirmed
"You do not put away your sexuality, as it is a
truly human characteristic. Sexual partnerships exist,
provided both partners harmonize and desire it."

YOUNG MAN CONVINCED BY EVIDENTIAL
MEDIUMSHIP READING
Christian was a young man interested in the paranormal
who nevertheless thought that the things mediums said
in a demonstration by "The Three Mediums"
could apply to anyone in the audience. And then he received
overwhelming personal evidence.
NO ETERNAL HELLFIRE AND EVERY
SOUL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROGRESS
As the higher
spheres had created all the beauties of those realms,
so had the denizens of these lower spheres built up
the appalling conditions of their spirit life. There
was no light in the lowest realms; no warmth, no beauty.
But there is hope - hope that every soul there will
progress. It is in the power of each soul to do so,
and nothing stands in the way but himself. It may take
him countless thousands of years to raise himself one
inch spiritually, but it is an inch in the right direction.
(Mons Hugh Benson Life
in the World Unseen)
XENOGLOSSY What
are we to make of people who suddenly start speaking in
a language they have never learned? "I came across
this patient in hospital (a blue-eyed blonde) in the hospital
bed coming out of an anesthetic speaking in the Italian
language. She said she never learned the Italian language,
she never had Italian friends and she never went to Italy."
Dr. Peter Ramster (Past Life Researcher, author and film
maker). Although rare, there are several verified cases.
HOW GRATEFULNESS CREATES HAPPINESS
Hans Willhelm explains how gratefulness
raises our vibrations and counteracts "the constant
drip of terrible hopeless news".
1) "Thanks for all
your work in sharing so much information about the afterlife.
It is a wonderful service to mankind (I have purchased
several copies of your book to share with friends).
Joy and Peace Always."
David, Montana
(2) "Yes, Victor, with my work
I have had spirit come through asking for forgiveness
which helps the sitter as well as the spirit person.
It's all about karma! Imagine having to come back and
do it all over again if the lesson isn't learned?!
Someone asked me when do you know you
are through with forgiving a particular person? Spirit's
response: When there is no more emotional attachment
to the person you are in the process of forgiving. Interesting
test, isn't it?
Best wishes." Carolyn
3) "FANTASTIC videos by Craig Hogan!
He did an incredible job. How can anyone in his/her
right mind deny the evidence for brain/mind distinction
after viewing these videos? Impossible! Well done Craig!"
Ken
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC We
remember GLEN CAMPBELL (April 22, 1936 – August
8, 2017) whose hits "Gentle on My Mind", "By
the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman",
"Dreams of the Everyday Housewife" and "Rhinestone
Cowboy" made him a household name during his 50
years in the music business. Glen's last years were
challenging after he developed Alzheimer's. This song,
"Try a Little Kindness", is one of his best.
Try a Little Kindness -
If you see your brother standing by
the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say, you're going the wrong way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll…
