COMMENTARY:
AVOIDING DESPAIR ABOUT THE WORLD Often
we receive emails asking how we can keep from being
overwhelmed by all that is wrong in the world: the injustice,
corruption, greed, poverty and the violence against
people and animals. With the 24-hour global news cycle,
and now with social media, we are constantly bombarded
with disturbing stories and images.
I totally agree that there are terrible things happening
and that we should respond with love and do whatever
we can to comfort the afflicted. But we have to avoid
being overwhelmed with despair and sinking into depression
and 'compassion
fatigue'.
It's also helpful to remember that we are living in
the best and most peaceful times in human history (see
video at the bottom of this page) and that many wonderful
things are happening which the media ignores. As the
great spiritual teacher, Silver Birch said: “There
will be many big changes. There will be break-ups and
there will be many upheavals. There will be what you
think is darkness and difficulty. You will say, 'Things
are worse'. But, all the time, there is behind it all
a power which is making for the progress of the world.”
(Teachings of Silver Birch p.42).
And finally, we all need to remember the purpose of
life on earth. We return to earth with specific lessons
to learn according to our spiritual needs and with full
knowledge of the challenges we will face, knowing that
a life on earth is like a fraction of an eye-blink in
our eternal existence.
PROFESSOR HANS ROSLING HELPED
US TO SEE THE WORLD IN A MORE HOPEFUL LIGHTHans Rosling, who died in February
2017, was a medical doctor, but most know him as a great
"Data Communicator". In his
many Ted Talks, he provided data to counter the
doom and gloom of the mainstream media.
RUPERT SHELDRAKE EXPLAINS THE THREE THEORIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Dr.
Sheldrake explains very clearly why materialist reductionism
locks into a late 19th-century view of the universe
and leads people to feel depressed and overwhelmed by
a sense of meaninglessness. He supports the view that
everything is conscious and interconnected. Listen.
AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION
Medium John Edward says that an important
part of his mission is to show people that they can
connect with their loved one in spirit without going
to a medium. He interviews Judy Guggenheim about her
book 'Hello
From Heaven'.

WHO WAS ALLAN KARDEC?
Allan
Kardec is the pen name of the French educator, translator
and author Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail (1804-1868).
He received teachings about the purpose of life and
the afterlife from higher spirits who identified themselves
as "The
Spirit of Truth", in several seances during
the 1850s. He wrote five books that would become the
basis of the Spiritist Doctrine: The
Spirits’ Book, The
Mediums’ Book, The
Gospel According to Spiritism, Heaven
and Hell and Genesis.
The core teachings include:
1) There is one Supreme Being, God, who created everything
in the universe.
2) The Devil does not exist.
3) Jesus is God's perfect messenger and his teachings
are to be adhered to.
4) Reincarnation and the survival of the soul after
death are vital beliefs and every life moves the soul
closer to perfection. Learn
more about Spiritism.

HOW TO DO AUTOMATIC WRITING A writing medium is able to go
into a trance and allow their hand to be taken over by
a spirit person, sometimes writing at a supernormal speed,
in languages unknown to the medium about subjects totally
outside their knowledge. This is called "automatic
writing" or "psychography". Sometimes the
writing is exceptionally small and sometimes it can only
be read in a mirror, but usually, it comes through complete
without the need for editing.
IMPORTANT
MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM THE AFTERLIFE!
"You do not need to receive credit on Earth for
your good deeds and good thoughts. All action and all
motivation are recorded in the vast realms of the universe,
and you are known for what you truly are. Go about your
life quietly, not seeking attention and admiration from
others, but seeking to enrich others by your sincere
interest and help. You will be amply rewarded by the
satisfaction to your soul while in this life and when
you reach the next."
(from 'Beyond
The Veil', Judy Laddon, '87 ed.)
After the death of their brother in 1967, Ida Cook and
Louise Cook began visiting different mediums in the
hope of gaining a communication. They began attending
séances with direct
voice medium Leslie Flint in 1969 and continued
for the next 10 years. They were able to get clear contact
from their brother, their mother, Mary, and other family
members speaking in their own voices. They also had
conversations with some of their wartime friends and
those from the worlds of opera and literature. It is
interesting that reincarnation is mentioned in the sessions
recorded September 30th 1969 and January 25th 1973.
Thanks to Karl Jackson Barnes for this treasure. Listen...
MATERIALIZATION MEDIUMSHIP Allan
E. Crossley, a long time friend
of physical medium Helen Duncan, wrote: “The ultimate
in personal experiences came when my wife Irene, who
passed four years ago, manifested to me on no less than
four occasions with individual mannerisms and characteristics
so familiar to me. With her final visit, she brought
a single red rose and kissed me. Well, what can one
say in the light of such happenings, except that it
was not only very moving but the most wonderful experience
of my life.” Read

THE SURPRISING DECLINE OF VIOLENCE
Steven Pinker charts the decline of violence from Biblical
times to the present and argues that, though it may
seem illogical and even obscene, given Iraq and Darfur,
we are living in the most peaceful time in our species'
existence.

"Imagine there's no countries...it isn't hard to
do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too...Imagine
all the people living life in peace."
