COMMENTARY:
BEING RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL
I sometimes get asked by people if they need to return
to the religion of their youth in order to find themselves
in "the realm of the light" when they die.
Our research shows that what determines the environment
you find yourself in on the other side is not how religious
you are but how spiritual. One can be religious by believing
religious creeds, participating in services
and rituals such as praying, singing hymns, going to
confession, taking communion etc.
Spiritual people, on the other hand, may not do any
of these things, but are guaranteed to find themselves
in the level of the light if they:
1. are basically honest, loving and compassionate;
2. actively assist all those who come their way for
help;
3. keep away from cruelty of any kind, physical and
psychological;
4. are positive, loving all and not selfish;
5. refuse to do harm of any kind to anyone;
6. do not lie, cheat and denigrate others directly &
indirectly;
7. are ethical, moral and highly responsible;
8. know how to say thank you to all those who help them;
9. respect all people, irrespective or gender, race,
level of social status;
10. unselfishly help others financially when they can.
If your religion gives you community,
support and encouragement to do all of the above then
it could be a benefit to you. But it is what you do
and think on a daily basis that matters, not what you
believe. More next week...
DR. JULIE BEISCHEL'S NEW STUDY
FURTHER VALIDATES MEDIUMSHIP
The
Windbridge Institute tested the accuracy of 20 Windbridge
Certified Mediums during 58 blinded laboratory readings.
The explanation for the source of mediums’ information
that is best supported by the blinded accuracy data
when taken together with the quantitative and qualitative
experiences data is communication with the deceased.
"Scientist-to-Human Translation: Based
on what we know today, it seems that at least some mediums
can communicate with the dead." Read

AN EXTRAORDINARY RESEARCHER
Steve
Beckow has written around 30 books and 250 articles,
mostly pseudonymously. His websites are on enlightenment,
the common ground of spirituality, life on the spirit
planes, global gender persecution, automation, the truth
of 9/11, the dangers of depleted uranium, and the Ascension
scenario. His books and articles mostly free. In 1977,
Steve had an out-of-body experience which he says dissipated
the fear of death. In 1987, he experienced a vision
of the total journey of an individual soul, from God
to God, which demonstrated to him that the purpose of
life is enlightenment. That experience is written
up here. Today, Steve lives a life of voluntary
simplicity and research as a non-denominational “urban
monk.”

DIFFERENT STATES OF CONSIOUSNESS MANIFEST IN THE ASTRAL
WORLD William Buhlman is an

insight into this subject. Here he talks with Jannecke

WHY SOME CLOSE RELATIVES NEVER RETURN TO MAKE CONTACT
"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 unwelcoming." (Light
from Silver Birch, '84Ed.p54).
Victor: One must remember that we do
get out of our body every night and visit loved ones
in the afterlife dimension.

1. Always thanks....love these newsletters. Sheri Perl.
2. I share the
report in 3 different places every Friday --thank you!
Shiva.
3. I think it is very important what
you say Victor.
For years I have been saying that the proper way of
assessing the strength of the evidence for the afterlife
is to apply the tests that would be used in a court-of-law.
We need to understand this. I enjoyed this week’s
Friday Afterlife Report when you write about this where
we all can learn. Many get away with so many things;
for me if we have to be taken seriously we have to apply
tests. Marion.
