COMMENTARY:
THE EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE IS NOT JUST ANECDOTAL
There are still uninformed materialists
who claim
that any evidence for the afterlife is 'just anecdotal'.
Anecdotal evidence is based on hearsay, rather
than hard facts. It is based on individual personal
accounts, often by unnamed people, and
is not written down. It certainly does
not refer to controlled experiments and systematic observation
by trained professionals written up in scientific journals
(see for example Beischel, J. (2007) "Contemporary methods
used in laboratory-based mediumship research". Journal
of Parapsychology, 71, 37-68.)
Evidence
for the afterlife has been systematically collected
and documented by scientifically trained witnesses for
more than 150 years, written up and reported in respected journals. There are repeated accounts of
the same phenomena occurring over time and space,
often with formal reports and statements signed by witnesses.
So, please, let us have INFORMED critics. As a retired
attorney, I consider myself to have specialized expertise
in the admissibility of evidence. Taken as a whole the evidence for the afterlife is overwhelming - and no genius materialist has been
able to empirically disprove any of the twenty areas
of afterlife evidence.
TERRI DANIEL NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES: WHAT WE KNOW, AND WHAT COMES NEXT
Terri Daniel DMin, CT, CCTP is an interfaith clinical chaplain, trauma specialist and end-of-life educator certified in death, dying and bereavement. She is the author of four excellent books. In this talk for the Theosophical Society she looks at NDEs in other cultures and invites us to explore ways we can serve as teachers and advocates for death awareness and consciousness studies in the decades to come.
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE ON MOUNT EVEREST Professor Roger Hart says that “before the NDE on Everest, I was a rationalist, reductive materialist and skeptic. I believed matter was the basis of life and by reducing matter to its smallest components we could understand the universe according to predetermined laws of physics.” His NDE propelled him on a world-wide journey to try to make sense of the paranormal which he outlined in his book The Phaselock Code. Recently Michael Tymn revisited an interview he did with Roger soon after that book was published. Read more.
JAMES VAN PRAAGH HEARS HIS MOTHER SPEAK THROUGH DIRECT
VOICE In October 2017
best selling author and Spirit Medium James Van Praagh
kindly took time out of his schedule to create this
important video testimonial about the mediumship of
direct voice Leslie Flint.
QUESTION: WHERE IS THE AFTERLIFE? Is it up in
space or on another planet? Jerry S.
Victor: Traditional religious books imply that the
afterlife is up in the sky somewhere - especially when
they tell us that 'Jesus ascended into heaven'. But
we now know that the afterlife is right here where we
are. It's just on a different frequency. When people
talk about "ascending" they really mean moving
to a higher vibrational frequency. When you die, it's
just as if you are now tuned into a different radio or tv station. Our loved ones are not separate
from us - they are where we are. And by focusing, they
can lower their vibrations to earth level and tune into
what we are doing. And conversely we can raise our vibrations and connect with them.
LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE IN THE AFTERLIFE
Out-of-body teacher William Buhlman explains how we can handle negative influences by sending out a shock wave of light or love.
JURGEN ZIEWE AFTERLIFE ANSWERS
PART 22 Out-of-body explorer Jurgen Ziewe has been doing monthly talks on our Zoom Global Gatherings. In this episode he shares Impressions about depression and whether there is a plan to our human evolution. He also reflects on the effect our ignorance has on the population in the Afterlife.
THE 'PARADISE' OF THE SUICIDE BOMBER Jurgen wanted to see what happened to suicide bombers in
the afterlife. According to the religious text of Islam, male martyrs will receive 72 virgin maidens in paradise as a reward for their sacrifice.
What he found shocked him to the core.
Instead of being in paradise the 'martyrs' found themselves in a wasteland surrounded by thought forms of their victims and representations of their pain. Read extract from Vistas of Infinity.
A spirit helper working there told Jurgen: "But
at least you must return and warn and report about this
misery you have seen here in order to save people from
their folly. Every person in the world must know that
God is mercy and love and nothing must be stronger than
Love. Unless people know the truth then many more will
have his fate".
DEATH - THE LAST FRONTIER Psychic medium, academic and researcher Julia Assante Ph.D. talks about the relief experienced by people on the other side when they are able to connect with loved ones, how to recognise signs and ways to make contact. Dr. Assante will be our guest on the Zoom Afterlife Global Gathering next Sunday 8th November at 3 p.m. New York time. https://zoom.us/j/7595442928
REALITY AND YOU: CONVERSATIONS WITH HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS Karl R. writes: "I have been reading
the transmissions coming through David Ingman, and am amazed
at the degree of detail describing consciousness at levels
that usually cannot be described... from the penthouse
the view is fantastic and beautiful."
David
and Jean Ingman have been tapping into higher consciousness
to ask every question about life, the universe and all
there is. See
index of questions. The resulting answers are available to read on the website www.realityandyou.com and are also available in two books from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.
There is further information on the website which is still a work in progress and has not yet been published in book form. Recently David's health has been declining significantly and he received wonderful comfort and reassurance from his deceased son and father. See Session 22nd October 2020 Approaching the End of Life.

NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION WITH MARSHALL ROSENBERG Marshall Rosenberg, PhD effectively mediated conflicts throughout the world for more than 40 years. His method, Nonviolent Communication, brought together warring factions as diverse as Irish Catholics and Protestants, Rwandan Hutus and Tutsis, Israelis and Palestinians as well as families and communities in conflict. His method was simply to enable both parties in conflict to listen with empathy to the authentic feelings and needs of the "other" without the need to blame and judge. Things can change when we feel respected and heard as humans.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR
LIFE? Directly from an afterlife intelligence.
"Your purpose in life is
to grow in character. It is not to doggedly pursue that
which your society says is your own self-interest, such
as amassing wealth, building a "healthy" retirement,
traveling at length or otherwise indulging in purely
selfish pursuits. Your purpose, I say again, is to grow
in character. This is done by focusing not on yourself,
but on those around you. It is ironic, but by attending
to all those people of your acquaintance, by giving
of yourself to these people and to your family, only
then do you truly find yourself and establish your own
firm identity." (Beyond
The Veil, Judy Laddon p.67).
IT'S JUST A RIDE - HELPFUL TO REMEMBER AT THIS CRAZY TIME Bill Hicks (1961-1994) was an American stand-up comedian, writer, social critic, satirist, and musician. He rejected his family's Southern Baptist religious beliefs and instead explored transcendental meditation, psychedelics and alternative spirituality.
One of his famous lines was "Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration—that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves". This is one of his best monologues.
1) "Victor and Wendy, I want you both to know how kind you are and what a treasure your weekly column is. You help so many people". PMH
2) "How powerful that final scene from the movie Ghost was, it had me in tears, but happy tears. Victor the work you and your wife do is amazing to let us get a taste of what the afterlife is really like. My husband died a little over 2 years ago and this site has bought me so much comfort. Thank you". Donna
3) " I don't know why, but it [ the quote from Silver Birch] gave me waves of goose bumps...the really refined ones that roll through one's physical. I find myself welling up with tears as I read through it again...I'm going to put this quote on the wall in my Spirit Room - to remind myself why I do what I do, and live the life I live. Bless you". Julia
