COMMENTARY: CELEBRATING OPEN-MINDED SCIENTISTS When a scientist is employed by a materialist organisation
where it is clearly part of the accepted culture that he/she must have nothing to do with the
paranormal (with understood threats of loss of job, promotion,
speaking opportunities etc.) he/she may become
anti-paranormal. But some courageous scientists quietly pursue their own investigations.
Peter
Wadhams Sc. D. is Cambridge Professor of Ocean Physics
and Head of the Polar Ocean Physics Group. He is an
expert on climate change who has undertaken 40 research
expeditions to measure the arctic polar ice. In the linked
discussion with Donna Smith-Moncrieffe he talks about
the pressures put on scientists to stay away from controversial
subjects like parapsychology.
In spite of this pressure, he claims, there are many contemporary
scientists who are conducting covert experiments in the
area of consciousness while maintaining careers in criminology,
philosophy, psychology, physics and other mainstream studies.

IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH? FIFTY
YEARS OF RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
Faculty from the Division
of Perceptual Studies highlight the Unit's work since
its founding, including studies of purported past lives,
near-death experiences, and mind-brain interactions in
phenomena such as deep meditation, veridical out-of-body
experiences, deathbed visions, apparent communication
from deceased persons, altered states of consciousness,
and terminal lucidity in persons with irreversible brain
damage.
BEQUESTS THAT ENABLED FORMAL STUDY
OF THE AFTERLIFE The
University of Virginia is one of the few academic institutions
in the world to have a department dedicated to several
major areas of afterlife research. According to its website,
The
Division of Perceptual Studies or DOPS "strives
to challenge this entrenched mainstream view by rigorously
evaluating empirical evidence suggesting that consciousness
survives death and that mind and brain are distinct and
separable".
The creation of DOPS in 1967 was initially made possible
by the financial support of philanthropist Chester
Carlson, a multimillionaire physicist, inventor, and
lawyer. He had been a great supporter of Dr. Ian Stevenson's
work with children who remembered past lives and gave
significant funding both before his death and in his will.
The unit has had to be self-sustaining as it receives
no money from taxpayers or the University and other generous
bequests have been vital to its survival. Read
more about the history of DOPS.

AMY CALL'S NDE SHOWED THAT THERE
IS ORDER IN APPARENT CHAOS "I
was shown how every single individual through their own
free will chooses paths that MATHEMATICALLY take them
to the circumstances of their next existence or life.
That NOTHING at all sits in accident or chaos. That every
single aspect of our lives is ruled by NATURAL Laws that
we placed ourselves in! That in a sense, we create our
own worlds. I was shown how one can never assume either,
that if someone lives a life of suffering that this is
because of 'evil' deeds. Many may CHOOSE a life of suffering
because of what it awakens in them or to help another,
etc.." Read
a summary of her amazing experience.
NIKOLA TESLA - another great scientist inventor
"Physics, extends beyond what is scientifically
known today. The future will show that what we now call
'occult' or 'the supernatural' is based on a science not
yet developed, but whose first infant steps are being
taken as we speak!" According to some sources, Tesla was
receiving EVP voices in 1901. He died in 1943 and
today he is still working from the afterlife with a number
of researchers. Read about Sonia Rinaldi's ground-breaking
EVP and ITC communications with Tesla in this wonderful
e-book. Read

DR. R. CRAIG HOGAN: EVERYONE CAN
HAVE CONTACT WITH THE AFTERLIFE Dr.
R. Craig Hogan shares experiences of ordinary people
having experiences of direct contact with their loved
ones in the afterlife using various methods including
Repair and Reattachment Grief Therapy, Induced After Death
Connection, EVP and ITC, physical mediumship and after-death
contacts. His claim is that personal experience is the
best proof of the afterlife and everyone is able to have
such experiences if they put in the time and energy.
WISE
WORDS FROM SPIRIT
“You cannot convince people of spiritual truth.
They can only convince themselves. You cannot convert
people; they can only convert themselves. Spiritual power
must work its own will, and not until the soul is receptive
can the individual accept the truth". Guidance
from Silver Birch, '66 p.73.
FANTASTIC EXPERIMENTS INTO PHYSICAL
MEDIUMSHIP Those who dismiss
physical
mediumship as fraud are usually not aware of the many
complex factors that can influence the behaviour of the
medium without his/her knowledge. In this video Dr. Keith
Parsons reflects on some of the experiments conducted
by top German scientists with U.S. medium Henry Slade.
LIFE AFTER DEATH - WHY THE GROWING
INTEREST? Medical doctor
Elisa Medhurst's blog on Huffington
Post asks this question. Apart from the number of baby
boomers getting old, she suggests that there are three
main reasons:
1) The decline of the power of dogmatic religions.
2) Quantum science is challenging outdated materialism.
3) "Now, the Internet helps us create micro-communities
where we can share those paranormal experiences
in a safe, anonymous place free from scorn...even physicians
have become emboldened enough to share the paranormal
events they've seen throughout their careers during the
dying process of their patients. Beforehand, they would
have feared the ridicule of their peers, who were probably
sharing the same secrets". Read

MY OCTOPUS TEACHER
Reviewer Margot MacEwen wrote:
"This is an exquisite film. What I took from this,
is that we are all a part of a beautiful, intelligent
and majestic world much bigger than our mere human one.
We so often forget to step outside our trifling human
experiences, and this film allows us to. It provides a
glimpse into that bigger universe, with its unique timing,
genius, and rhythms. I found this to be a beautiful, soothing
story, with incredible camera work and gentle lessons.
Best film I've watched in a long time".

1) "I love hearing accounts of people who have had
NDEs and all that they have seen ...the people...the places
etc...it makes me even more homesick but it feeds my soul
too". Wendy
2) "Amazing trance mediumship gift of Cora Richmond
started at the age 11- this is very rare even in those
days. Thank you, Victor". Rotsen
3) "Appreciated your deeper dive on George Harrison
as well as Michael Newton's video. Very interested in
past lives and regression as topics". Jane
INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC:
"Because You Loved Me"
was written by Diane Warren who said that it was a tribute
to her father. It served as the theme song from the 1996
film Up Close & Personal, starring Robert
Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. The song has been a favorite
of Celine Dion since 1996.
Whilst we encourage and we publish many
papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are not
in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims.
We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal
research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
