COMMENTARY:
IS
THE VATICAN NOT TELLING THE WHOLE TRUTH? The
Vatican is encouraging people to read books written
by a priest who, while alive, worked in the Vatican,
Mons. Hugh Benson. No, this is not Life in the WorldUnseen, but one of the many
books he wroteBEFORE he crossed over.
Two popes have praised Lord
of the World, a novel which imagines a socialist
and humanist world where religion has been either suppressed
or ignored. He also wrote other books, including The
Necromancers which was highly critical of Spiritualism.
Once he crossed over, Mons. Benson was distressed about
some of the things he had written while alive. So, he
sought permission from the higher beings to channel
new books through the automatic writing medium, Anthony
Borgia.
He
wrote "What I wanted was to try to undo something
that I wished I had never done. It was a task I could
see that could not be accomplished in a moment. What
I had written, I could never unwrite, but I could ease
my mind by telling the Truth as I know it now, to those
who were still on the earth plane." (Life
in the World Unseen '97 ed. p, 99).
As a result, he wrote some of the most loved books in
Spiritualism. They are brilliant books which explain
what really happens in the afterlife AND why many creeds
and dogmas are of no use there. Thankfully his books
are available free of charge online.

IN SEARCH OF THE DEAD: POWERS
OF THE MIND This is an
interesting review of parapsychology, the first of a
1992 BBC Wales series 'In Search of the Dead'. Written
and produced by Jeffery Iverson, the series was published
as a book of the same name.
IMPORTANT GREAT TRUTHS DIRECTLY
FROM THE
AFTERLIFE
“You will all live after you have ‘died’,
and you will not realize until then what it is to live
or to feel the real glory of life untrammeled, free
to rejoice in liberty of spirit which your imprisoned
souls cannot understand to-day … all the experiences
which you like least of all - the sadness,the bitterness,
the tears, the disappointments, the suffering and the
pain - these are very valuable for your souls …But
you cannot realize that at the time. It is only when
you can look back on the whole, and not judge by the
part, that you can get a clear picture of the values
of life. Through all your adversities the character
is tried. Through tears and sorrow the soul is strengthened
… How very simple are these great truths, so simple
that they are beyond many of your intellectuals!"
(Light
from Silver Birch, 69.)
HAMISH MILLER'S NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
Imagine looking up, fully conscious,
and seeing a surgeon pronouncing you dead. This happened
to Hamish
Miller at the beginning of a Near-Death Experience.
Afterwards, he gave up the world of commerce and became
one of Britain's most highly respected dowsers.
INSTRUMENTAL TRANSCOMMUNICATION
OR ITC Since about 1980
psychic researchers have claimed
that contact with people who have died has been made
via radio, over telephones, on television, on answering
and fax machines and computers. This extended voice
contact is called Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC)
or Extended ITC or even Trans-dimensional Communication.
The contact is repeatable, has occurred in laboratories
throughout the world, and is being studied by scientists.

INTERESTING AFTERLIFE STATISTICS and SURVEYS
Psychologist Jean Twenge
of San Diego State University, recently led a team in
a study of The General Social Survey, in which
up to 58,000 people were interviewed annually about a
variety of factors, including religion. One surprising
conclusion was that in 2014, at the same time as religious
practice and belief in a personal God was falling, "80
percent of Americans said they believe in an afterlife."
This was up from 73 percent in 1972-74." Read

PROFESSOR ARCHIE ROY WITH TRICIA
ROBERTSON VALIDATE MEDIUMSHIP.
Patricia Robertson
- left - has conducted triple-blind experiments on mediums
alongside Professor Archie Roy - below. She says: "We
are convinced that some mediums can impart to a sitter
information
about people who have died that they couldn't possibly
know in any normally accepted way. I'm not saying that
it comes from the dead, but the most plausible explanation
is that the information is coming from the deceased
personalities."
LESLIE FLINT TAPES: TED BUTLER
Another
fascinating audio tape from the work of direct voice
medium Leslie
Flint.
Edward 'Ted' Butler talks to George Woods and Betty
Greene about his death after an accident with a vehicle
in his home town of Leeds, England. He remembers seeing
his own body and his distraught wife. He describes being
Earthbound for a time, before receiving help to finally
move on to the Spirit World. Dr Charles Marshall concludes
this communication by suggesting that the ordinary and
interesting people who communicate make these recordings
worthwhile. Researcher and medium Alfred Scarfe adds
a final word on this recording, about his efforts to
contact the wife of Dr Marshall... Listen

GORDON SMITH MEDIUM: SPIRIT MESSENGER
TIME TO REMOVE THE POWERFUL
HISTORICAL PREJUDICE AGAINST WOMEN BY THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH
There are too many quotations in the Bible and the Fathers
of the Church which denounce women. If the Catholics
want to
keep women engaged it is time for this negative
prejudice against women to be removed and for women
to have a say in the running of the Church. Here are
some of many examples: 1.
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
"God made a mistake in creating women (T.A's
Summa Theologica, Q92,35).
2.I Corinthians 7:1"It is a good thing for a man to have
nothing to do with a woman."
3. Second Century St Clement of Alexandria
"Every woman should
be filled with shame by the thought that she is a woman."
(Natural Inferiority of Women by Tama Starr,
NY 1991). 5. Ephesians 5:22 “Wives, submit
to your husbands...”
ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR CONVINCES
SKEPTIC Anna Breytenbach
is an animal communicator based in Cape Town, South
Africa. This stunning video shows how she convinces
a skeptical zoo-keeper that she is able to communicate
telepathically with a dangerous black leopard and change
his behaviour. Anna believes that all indigenous peoples
have this ability to communicate with animals and runs
workshops to help people learn to reconnect with the
natural world.
FEEDBACK:
(Three only).
1) Thank you, Victor and Wendy. Love the afterlife report.
Also loved the zoom meeting last week. My mom and I
just signed up for the symposium this fall. It will
be our second year to go. Can't wait! Karen.
2) Wikipedia is outrageous. Full of untruths and innuendo.
But they seem to get away with it.
Tricia Robertson.
3) I'm glad your book is still a best-seller. I did
one of the reviews. I noticed
the links to the book sales.. Canada is missing...Here
is the link to add. Nola.
Thanks, Nola, there are
some lovely reviews there which we hadn't seen. Here's
one from 'Avid reader' that we especially loved:
Terrific!!! Five stars plus!!!
"I have read numerous books on aspects of the afterlife
and this is - by far - the most comprehensive. I feel
like flying to Australia just to have a cup of tea and
a chat with the Zammits...Again, kudos to Victor and
Wendy Zammit for a thorough, highly persuasive and masterful
work! From one lawyer to another: well done!"
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC Celine
Dion and Josh Groban's version of 'The Prayer' is sublime.
As you listen you will feel your
vibrations lifting higher and higher.
The Prayer
Julius Chavez
[Celine Dion:]
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
[Andrea Bocelli (Celine Dion):]
La luce che tu hai
(I pray we'll find your light)
Nel cuore resterà
(And hold it in our hearts)
A ricordarci che
(When stars go out each night)
Eterna stella sei
(Whoa)
Nella mia preghiera
(Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'è
(When shadows fill our day)
Lead us to a place
(Guide us with your grace)
[Both:]
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità
[Andrea Bocelli (Celine Dion):]
La forza che ci dà
(We ask that life be kind)
È il desiderio che
(And watch us from above)
Ognuno trovi amor
(We hope each soul will find)
Intorno e dentro sé
(Another soul to love)
[Both:]
Let this be our prayer
[Celine Dion:]
Let this be our prayer
[Andrea Bocelli:]
Just like every child
[Celine Dion:]
Just like every child
[Both:]
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera?
