COMMENTARY:
THE GIFT OF NDES TO THE WORLD Kevin Williams is the webmaster of several near-death experience sites. On his website near-death.com he explains how studying many thousands of near-death experiences has had a profound effect on him.
He writes: "I am convinced NDE research is contributing greatly to the spiritual evolution of humanity and that there is no greater endeavor than planting seeds of love within other human beings. Love is literally what life, the afterlife, and God is all about.
Paradoxically, learning about death and loss is also learning about love. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder; and dealing with the loss of loved ones is one of the greatest lessons of life. Love conquers and transcends death. So in this respect, death itself is the "grand illusion". Death is nothing but a "body problem" as one NDEr so eloquently put it."
He concludes: "The light of love revealed from millions of NDEs is being poured out upon this world of great darkness starving for light. This tremendous influx of light from NDEs is bringing a new understanding of life, death, and what happens afterward. It will ultimately lead to the great spiritual revolution and unity of all humanity foretold by many religions, NDEs, and psychic revelations. It will be the "golden age" of paradise and global peace realized on Earth." Read more.
PREVIEW OF THE IANDS ONLINE CONFERENCE
The International Association
for Near-Death Experiences (IANDS) was founded in the US in 1981.
It does wonderful work to support and assist death
experiencers (NDErs) and people close to
them. Below are clips of some of
the inspiring speakers at IANDS 2020 Live Online Conference,
Aug 14-16.
Check out the schedule of speakers & register. Please
comment on and share this video.
WHAT NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES TEACH US ABOUT PREJUDICE "Creed, race, gender, and sexual preference have no real meaning to God. No matter who we are, we were all children joined under one God. The only rule is God's true law 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' ".
P.M.H. Atwater
"Those religions which claim superiority over others, or exclude people for various reasons, go against God's law that we love one another as we love ourselves". Sandra Rogers
"It also needs to be recognized that not all teachings described as religious are beneficial. Religion which is judgmental, prejudicial, critical, and narrow may impede the spirit's natural growth. It is love, not religion, which creates spiritual growth. Where religion teaches love, there is growth. Where religion impedes love, there is stagnation". Nora Spurgin
DR. PIM VAN LOMMEL RECENT INTERVIEW
After extensive NDE studies,
the Dutch cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel believes that
consciousness can also exist outside the body. The
interview was produced by the magazine Kosmos that is
published by the Martinus
Institute, Denmark.
EMINENT PEOPLE WHO INVESTIGATED
PSYCHIC PHENOMENA AND THE AFTERLIFE
From the 1880s onward some of the world's greatest scientists, thinkers,
and artists of all kinds (including more than thirty Nobel
Prize winners) have investigated precognition, mediumship,
telepathy, healing, seances, psychokinesis and many other
aspects of parapsychology and psychical
research. This list of more than two hundred of them shows
that those of us who take these things seriously are in
good company. Read

HOW OLD IS PSYCHICAL RESEARCH? Many people think the beginnings of the spiritualist movement occurred at Hydesville in New York State in the 19th century, but psychic investigation is much, much older than that. This particular video of 22 minutes duration is about the origins of psychical research. You can see the complete collection of short documentaries by Keith Parsons here.
AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION
Dr. Elisabeth Targ, daughter of Dr. Russell Targ, was a brilliant doctor and researcher into spiritual healing. She died in 2002 from a brain tumor at the age of 42. After her death, her co-researcher, Dr. Jane Katra, received more than 35 unexpected communications from her. They started a few hours after her transition. She appeared to Dr. Katra at least 10 miles away from the house where her body lay. In the weeks that followed, lights flashed when people talked about her. A woman wrote down nonsense syllables dictated from Elisabeth in a dream visit that turned out to be a message in Russian ( a language that Elisabeth spoke well). Read more. On her website, Dr. Katra has details of another surprising communication from Elisabeth that shows she is still a healer. Read more.
PHYSICIST CONVINCED DAUGHTER SURVIVED
DEATH Dr. Russell Targ,
a laser physicist, cofounded the remote viewing research
program at SRI International. He tells Jeffrey Mishlove
that it was one particular message that finally convinced
him of the reality of his daughter Elizabeth's post-mortem survival.
DO WE LOSE OUR
INDIVIDUALITY IN THE HIGHER REALMS? "As
we progress into those high
realms, we shall not lose our individuality in supposed
etheric clouds and become lost to everyone except the
dwellers therein. We shall ever continue to be ourselves,
our TRUE selves; refined, to be sure, more etherealised,
but still, YOU will be YOU, and I shall be I no one
else. You and I will recognise each other, just as you
will recognise all your friends, as they will recognise
you ... our wisdom and knowledge will also increase...."
Mons. Hugh Benson Heaven and Earth (through the mediumship of Anthony
Borgia).
MANY NDErs COME BACK WITH DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF FUTURE EVENTS
When he was eight years old, Rev. Bill
McDonald almost died of complicated health issues. He
felt himself fading and slipping away into a state of
consciousness outside of his body. Then he encountered
a magnificent Light and felt embraced by the "Mother of
the Universe." He also had multiple visions of future
personal and public events, which came true in his later
years.
"You are always there, unknowingly linked with the astral source from which the life and intelligence and sensory powers of your physical body are constantly flowing. You are working from that astral plane. Even though you think you are a material being dependent on the material world, you are not. You should learn to get acquainted with your real base of operations.
Suppose you have two houses—one in the slums where there is constantly turmoil and fighting going on, and another in the beautiful section of town where there is order and harmony. When you go to your better home, you find peace and contentment. That is what I urge you: Live in the consciousness of your finer astral body rather than "slumming" in the physical". Read this fascinating explanation of the connection between two worlds.
CHILDREN GIVE SIGNS AND INSIGHTS FROM HEAVEN Joseph M. Higgins has been a working medium for over 20 years as well as an Amazon best-selling author, channeler, spiritual teacher and intuitive counselor. His new book "Always Connected: For Those Who Have Lost Children: Children Give Signs & Insights from Heaven" is based on his direct communication with a group of spirit guides who answer the questions asked by every parent whose child transitions early including soul contracts, life plans, exit points, suicide and addictions, why they left, and how to recognise the signs they send.

BUDDHA AT THE GAS PUMP: INTERVIEWS WITH ORDINARY PEOPLE
WHO ARE AWAKENING SPIRITUALLY "One night in 1997 Richard Schoeller thought he
was dying because he found himself surrounded by both
sets of deceased grandparents. They reassured him that
it wasn’t his time to join them in the afterlife
and that their visit was to help him understand that
he could now “see them.” Who could ignore
a visit like that? Richard had to learn more about what
had just happened, so he began taking classes and researching
the ability to communicate with those who have passed
into spirit." Access main
site.
WONDER, AWE, AND THE INTELLIGENCE OF NATURE Award-winning filmmaker and advocate for the natural world, Louie Schwartzberg, tells stories that celebrate life and reveal the mysteries and wisdom of nature, people and places, by taking us into worlds that are invisible to the human eye. He has a profound message for us at this time of "breakdown and break through".
"The real story of nature is not only survival of the fittest, but also survival of the kindest. The feminine story of Nature is all about relationships. It's about partnering, networking, regeneration, giving birth. nurturing, creating ecosystems that flourish without greed. It's why they call it Mother Nature". Louis Schwartzberg.
