COMMENTARY:
EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE
While most people are not aware of it, the evidence
that has been accumulated for the paranormal and
the afterlife is extraordinary.
For example Dr.
Edwin May and his associates, combined the results
of all the 26,000 trials on 154 experiments with
psychic phenomena done at Stanford Research Institute
from 1973 to 1988. They found that psychic phenomena
had been shown to exist with odds against chance
of more than a billion billion to one.
(Radin 1997:101).
Every
culture in the world has accepted that the paranormal
and the afterlife exist, on the basis of repeated
observations of telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition,
near-death experiences, deathbed visions and after-death
communications. When we take this into account,
together with 170 years of modern experimental evidence
outlined in our book A Lawyer Presents the Evidence
for the Afterlife, the existence of the paranormal
and the afterlife are not at all 'extraordinary'
claims.
Far more extraordinary is the claim, made without
ANY evidence whatsoever, and in opposition to the
lived experience of every culture that has ever
existed, that there is no afterlife, no paranormal
and that matter can produce consciousness.
THE EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE OF THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT Between
1993 and 1998 four people formed a physical mediumship
circle which produced incredible evidence in over 500
sittings. Their work was conducted in a number of international
locations, including Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands,
Spain (Ibiza), Switzerland, and the USA. Among the investigating
teams were electrical engineers, astrophysicists, criminologists,
psychologists and mathematicians as well as three seasoned
investigators from the Society for Psychical Research.
DR. ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS: NO-ONE
DIES ALONE Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
writes:
"There are three reasons why no one can die alone.
Besides
an absence of pain and the experience of physical wholeness
in a simulated, perfect body, which we may call the
ethereal body, people will also be aware that it is
impossible to die alone. This also includes someone
who dies of thirst in a desert hundreds of miles from
the next human being, or an astronaut missing the target
and circling around in the universe until he dies of
lack of oxygen." Read

BOOK
REVIEWERS NEEDED IN TIMES OF WAR; Messages of Wisdom
from Soldiers in the Afterlife
At
the beginning of the book, Jonathan Beecher, the founder
of Whitecrow books, describes the
spiritually transformative experiences that changed
his own life. He then goes on to present some of the
best and most interesting descriptions by soldiers of
what happened when they died in combat. These were received
through automatic writing or trance mediumship by some
of the most tested mediums of the twentieth century.
Many accounts include details which we have not read
in other books, such as ways the dead soldiers were
able to stay in the battle and assist their comrades.
Jon has 20 pdf copies of the book to send to readers
who are willing to commit to writing a short review
on Amazon. Email info@whitecrowbooks.com.

SUSAN AUSTIN TAYLOR'S OBEs Susan Austin Taylor
is a metaphysical teacher and psychic medium living
in the state of Texas. Astral travel is her passion;
she began exploring the astral realms at an early age.
After being approached by her guides and teachers in
spirit, she began an apprenticeship with them lasting
several years. Under their guidance she became more
proficient and effective as an astral volunteer, eventually
becoming an intermediary to the dead and dying, both
in this realm and in the astral realm.
DOES EVERYONE HAVE A SPIRIT
GUIDE? Directly
from the afterlife by the highly advanced spirit teacher
Silver Birch: "From the moment of conception, and
even before that, there is attached to the incarnating
soul someone who volunteers to act as his/her guardian.
The guardian will maintain to the best of his/her ability
the function assumed until the time comes for you to
cross the border. The task becomes easier when you are
aware of the guardianship; it becomes difficult when
you are unaware of it. There is only one guide, but
many helpers."
(Guidance
from Silver Birch, 1999 'ed., p110).
AT HOME WITH JENNY COCKELL:
VIVID MEMORIES OF A PAST LIFE The
story of Jenny Cockell from England is one of the most
fascinating examples of past life memories which have
actually been confirmed. She tells us how she was able
to find her children from a previous life in which she
had died as a young mother, and how she was able to
exchange mutual memories with them. She also relates
memories of other lives – and why her "search for trails
of the past” has now come to an end.
WE EVOLVE THROUGH REINCARNATION "The
knowledge acquired in each existence
is never lost. A spirit, when freed from matter, always
remembers the wisdom - what he/she has learned. He/she
may, during incarnation, forget partially and for a
time, but the latent intuition which he preserves of
all that he has once known aids him in advancing. Were
it not for this intuition of past acquisitions, he would
always have to begin his education over again. A spirit,
at each new existence, takes his departure from the
point at which he had arrived at the close of his preceding
existence." (from The
Spirits' Book.)
THE GREATEST MEDIUM THE WORLD HAS SEEN? Have
you ever heard of a medium being voted as the most famous
and revered person in a country? Chico Xavier (1910-2002)
was. Michael Tymn writes: "Xavier, who dropped
out of school at age 13, produced, by means of automatic
writing, 458 books with sales in excess of 50 million.
All of the royalties were donated to over 4,000 hospitals,
retirement homes, soup kitchens, etc. as Xavier lived
on a very modest income from his government job and
pension. In 2000, a newspaper in the Brazilian state
of Minas Gerias asked its readers to vote for "person
of the century." With more than 700,000 readers
responding, Xavier won the vote over an aviation pioneer,
a former president of the country, and the legendary
soccer player, Pelé. More than 120,000 people
lined up in a queue over two miles long to file past
Xavier's coffin and 30,000 joined in the funeral procession.
The state governor declared three days of mourning."
Read more fascinating accounts on Michael
Tymn's blog.
WHAT IS SPIRITISM? Spiritism
began in 19th century
France, thanks to educator Allan
Kardec who helped to codify the practice. From there
it spread to other countries, in particular Brazil,
where a popular medium Chico
Xavier (1910-2002), became a sort of figurehead
for the religion, appearing on television frequently.
Like Spiritualism, it accepts mediumship, however it
also accepts reincarnation and puts a huge emphasis
on selfless service without ego. Read more about Spiritist
practice. Today, Brazil is the most Spiritist country
in the world.
BRINGING THE BEST OF BRAZILIAN
MEDIUMSHIP TO THE USA Ana
Castro learned about Spiritism in her native Brazil.
Now, 12 years after moving to Houston Texas for her
work, she is bringing the best of the Brazilian researchers
and mediums to the USA in a 3 day conference, the 'Science
and Spirituality Connection' in Houston Texas May 24th,
25th and 26th. Also presenting are Dr. Dean Radin and
Dr. Larry Dossey. Read

1)"Your amazing diligence to post these wonderful
and educational reports each Friday mean so much to
me and so many others." Cheryl
2)"I smile every time I see reference
to 'Calling Earth', and this issue was a real bonus
because I had not seen Dan Drasin’s talk before.
My entire afternoon was filled with fascinating videos.
What a treat!" Lana
3)"Great interview on Skeptiko
with Julia Assante, another powerful medium with science
pedigree and a very unconventional take on life after
death... Julia wrote an appraisal of my work five years
ago, one year before my second book,
“Vistas of Infinity” came out. It was
good to hear her confirming something I wrote in it
as well, like how quickly people can rise from the lower
states into higher ones, often within minutes... Her
review of my book gave me the first indication how
congruent the work of mediums and Astral Travellers
actually is."

HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC:
'MY LOVE' Stevie
Wonder is an incredible musician and song writer
("You Are the Sunshine of My Life", "I
Just Called to Say I Love You", "Isn't She
Lovely") having recorded 30 top 10 hits and selling
more than 100 million records worldwide. In 2009, Wonder
was a passionate worker for civil rights and was named
a United Nations Messenger of Peace. He also wrote this
amazing love song to the world - the fact that he chokes
up while singing it shows that it comes from his heart.
Lyrics: My Love
My love is warmer than a smile
My love gives to every needing child
If anyone should ask you who's my true love
Tell them my love true is ever
Letting all their love come through
My love sees love without a face
And lives to love through time and space
If everything about my love
Fits to the tune of you
Then you can say that you are my love too
Let my love shine throughout the world
To every mountaintop and steeple
Til it is felt by every soul
'Til love's all over
Let it reach out to every heart
To every disenfranchised people
'Til it is present and no more is
Pain all over
Our love sees love's the key to peace
We'll pray 'til all world wars have ceased
Should you or anyone you know
Enough to say they feel as we
And let our universal song be free
Let our love shine throughout the world
To every mountaintop and steeple
Let it be felt by every soul
Til love's all over
Say words of love to all we see
To rich or poor for love is equal
Let us lift up humanity
Spread love all over
Let all its forces join as one
So to rebuke all signs of evil
Through every valley, land and sea
Our love's all people
Songwriters: Stevie Wonder
