9th
January 2009 We're
safely home again and endeavoring to catch up with
a huge backlog of a few hundred emails in between
enjoying gorgeous summer weather (34 degrees C- some
90F) at our local Dee Why beach (see picture left)
in the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia. Quite
a change from the near zero degrees of falling snow
and ice of a few days ago in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Apologies again for the late reply to your emails.
All books ordered were posted out last Tuesday.
COMMENTARY: As 2009
begins I am amazed at the number
of highly credible scientists, doctors and other professional
people who are going public with their experiences
of the paranormal and of the afterlife. This week
we are featuring a highly credible nuclear physicist
who now finds the climate safe enough to talk about
his eight years of scientific exploration of out of
body states and journeys into the future. Media interest
in the afterlife continues to expand exponentially
and this week we have news of a wonderful new DVD
on the Afterlife about to be released. My esteemed
colleague Michael Tymn's new book which outlines some
of the most brilliant research on the afterlife which
has never been challenged has also become available
(see below). And what has been the response of the
closed-minded skeptics who refuse to even read the
evidence?
There
is no attempt to rebut the brilliant experimental
and theoretical work of Dr Robert Neil Boyd and Dr
Adrian Klein. No attempt to come to grips with the
new field of consciousness studies. No attempt to
account for the brilliant results of highly
gifted mediums such James Van Praagh, John Edward,
Allison Dubois and Lisa Williams. Instead they fall
back on their old catch cry-"it's all fraud"
or "it's cold reading". Youtube
is full of video attacks by uninformed skeptics who
take readings by a medium out of context. They feature
bits of the reading that seem to be very general and
could constitute "cold reading" but editing
out subsequent sections which are highly specific
and contain incredible details that absolutely confirm
to the recipient that they are indeed in contact with
their loved one. There are many low-level skeptics
attacking highly gifted psychics using vicious pernicious
propaganda which unfortunately "poisons the well"
for some people who are not informed. In my new weekly
series "objections overruled" I will be
showing why these attacks are neither acceptable nor
legitimate.
OBJECTIONS
OVERRULED! These below are
some of the most common objections raised by the skeptics
about the evidence for the afterlife I received in
the last 20 years. I will be including one objection
every week for the next twenty weeks. For any feedback
on this specific issue feel free to contact me on
2008@victorzammit.com
OBJECTION No. 2.
(Here's a quote by one of the leading closed minded
skeptics in the United States): "Death is
a part of life and pretending that the dead are gathering
in a television studio in New York to talk twaddle
with a former ballroom dance instructor is an insult
to the intelligence and humanity of the living."
Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine and executive
director of the Skeptics Society trying to denigrate
gifted medium John Edward.
Victor: This
objection is immediately overruled because the statement: - is an expression
of a personal subjective belief,
- has no objective empirical
substance,
- is highly prejudicial and
'self serving,'
- has no probative value,
- is highly speculative without
evidence,
- fundamentally lacks legitimate
'authority,'
- is a 'denial' - instead of
an analytical rebuttal of the afterlife evidence,
- is not specifically scientifically
based and
- is an attempt to use ridicule
from a position of extreme ignorance about afterlife
evidence the skeptic shows he has not studied.
A judge would have no problems at all over-ruling
this objection.
Notice carefully, this M. Shermer totally ignores
the vast amount of empirically based afterlife evidence
for mediumship (outlined in my
book with 23 areas of afterlife hard core evidence)
and the results of extensive university controlled
tests that brilliant medium John Edward was subjected
to - see:- Beischel,
J., & Schwartz, G.E. (2007).
"Anomalous information reception by research
mediums demonstrated using a novel triple-blind protocol."
EXPLORE: The Journal of Science & Healing, 3 (1),
23-27 ]
As above stated consistent with Neurolinguistic Programming
(NLP), M Shermer's mind automatically deletes the
evidence. His mind makes Michael pretend - and makes
him delude himself the afterlife does not exist -
because the evidence for the afterlife is inconsistent
with the skeptic's cherished beliefs. He rationalizes
his negative beliefs to avoid anxiety and the pain.
So, it is M. Shermer who is "talking
twaddle" ignoring the substantive empirical evidence
for the afterlife which more that sixty five per cent
of the world accepts. It shows he is unable or incompetent
or unwilling to properly and empirically rebut this
afterlife evidence - to show where, when, how and
why the expressly stated evidence for the afterlife
cannot be relied upon. His omission to do so is an
insult to all those intelligent people who want to
know if the afterlife evidence can ever be discounted-
since the empirically elicited afterlife evidence
has never been rebutted.
TOM
CAMPBELLPHYSICIST
EXTRAORDINARIE
has
excelled as a working scientist, a professional physicist
dedicated to pushing back the frontiers of cutting
edge technology, large-system simulation, technology
development and integration, and complex system vulnerability
and risk analysis. Presently, and for the past 20
years, he has been at the heart of developing US missile
defense systems. He also began researching altered
states of consciousness with Bob Monroe (Journeys
Out Of The Body, Far Journeys, and The Ultimate Journey)
at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s where he
and a few others were instrumental in getting Monroe's
laboratory for the study of consciousness up and running.
Campbell has been a serious explorer of the frontiers
of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena
for the last thirty five years.
INTERVIEW
OF PHYSICIST TOM CAMPBELL WITH GEORGE NOORY ON COAST
TO COAST
Tom Campbell is an open minded skeptic
who became convinced of the afterlife only after extensive
personal experience. In this extraordinary important
interview he talks about his eight years of out of
body explorations which included exploring out of
body dimensions which he could authenticate with a
companion and moving into the future.
MY BIG TOE
In
February of 2003, Tom Campbell published the My
Big TOE trilogy which represents the results
and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the
nature of existence. This overarching model of reality,
mind, and consciousness merges physics with metaphysics,
explains the paranormal as well as the normal, places
spirituality within a scientific context, and provides
direction for those wishing to personally experience
an expanded awareness of All That Is. As a logic-based
work of science, My Big TOE has no basis in belief,
dogma, creed, or any unusual assumptions. By demanding
high quality repeatable, empirical, evidential data
to separate what's real (exists independently and
externally) from what's imaginary or illusory; Campbell
has scientifically derived this general model of reality.

ALLISON
DUBOIS of television ‘MEDIUM’ fame sends
us a special message - Allison,
one of the most
loved and respected mediums in the world to-day, emailed
Saturday 3rd January 09: Allison is asking readers
in the United States who may have a formal dress they
never use to donate it to a good cause. She writes:
“I have recently been
drawn to a charity that helps young girls in need.
The Florence Crittenton foundation is dedicated to
enriching the lives of young people. One of the ways
they do this is by acquiring formal dresses that well
deserving young girls can wear to Prom to feel like
the belle of the ball on that special night. Since
these girls don’t have the means to achieve
Prom night without your generosity I’m asking
anyone with a pretty dress or retired bridesmaids
dress to donate it to the Florence Crittenton Foundation.
I am donating my dress from the Golden Globe Awards,
my friend Adrianne Curry (actress/model) is also donating
a dress to the foundation so the girls can feel like
the stars that we know they will be. If you’d
like to make a difference in a young girls life helping
to create a memory and to let them know they matter
to you, you can send your dress donation to Attention:
Lory Lasica at 715 W. Mariposa St. Phoenix,
AZ. 85013 or she can be reached at (602) 274-7318.
Thank you for taking the time to touch the lives of
wonderful girls who appreciate it more than you will
ever know. Allison Dubois.”
NEW AFTERLIFE DOCUMENTARY
Path11
Productions is in the final stages of putting together
an excellent documentary on the Afterlife. The producers
interviewed 12
experts in the field of metaphysics in the attempt
to gather more information about the afterlife and
to begin to try and find answers to some of the big
picture questions that no one really has an answer
to like “What happens when we die? Does the
soul live on? Is there an afterlife?” It is
the filmmakers hope that this documentary will begin
to take the fear out of dying and to offer human beings
the idea that we are more than our physical body.
Release Date:
February 12th, 2009

WHAT HAPPENS TO A CLOSED-MINDED
SKEPTIC AFTER DEATH? Silver
Birch, an afterlife entity with high credibility
was asked “What were the feelings of the famous
author H.G. Wells, an anti-Spiritualist
and a life-long Rationalist, when he passed on and
found himself in a spirit world in which he did
not believe - will go to a dark realm?”
Afterlife intelligence,
SB: “Wells … is a great soul,
unfortunately blinded
by a large intellect … the spirit life was
a tremendous shock to individuals like Wells and
they had to face processes of ‘adjustment.’
It is a complete overthrow of a lifetime of philosophy
and they cannot understand it …. They think
there must be something wrong with the universe
because it does not agree with their conception,
which they had ‘proved’ most ‘logically’
and most ‘scientifically.’ And so the
‘adjustments’ have to be made and there
are long argument and discussions.”
THE ARTICULATE DEAD
In The Articulate Dead, Michael E. Tymn
examines several of the best mediums of yesteryear
and the scientific research surrounding them. A
number of very intriguing stories unfold, including
spirits directing an archaeologist in the uncovering
of the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, spirits leading
a researcher to crosses buried by American Indians,
a deceased author completing his books through a
medium, a Titanic victim coming back to tell about
his new environment, and an afterlife researcher
continuing his work after dying, to name just a
few. Wendy and I are still in the process of writing
a formal review but take it from me this is an extraordinary
book which combines excellent research with an easy
to read engaging style. Obtain a copy now from Galde
Press.
BRILLIANT
SCIENTISTS CONTINUE AN EXPLANATION OF THE NEW PHYSICS This
week Dr Adrian Klein and Dr Robert Neil Boyd show
us that Life involves highly complex degrees of
organizational properties conveyed to the target
system from a pattern generating source, which is
external to it. Mainstream developmental biology
can explain neither how a particular group of cells
are able to respond to discrete biochemical signals
and initiate a self-organizing process under their
triggering effect, nor how such signals may perfectly
correspond to future functional requirements which
are expected from the reacting cells, collectively.
They claim that experimental
results thus achieved seem to strongly confirm Sheldrake's
tenet of a collective "morphic field of mankind",
a true understanding of which leads to a complete
and unconditioned refutation of Darwin's (phylogenetic)
evolution theory. Read this week's article Restoring
a Subquantum Morphogenesis Approach.
SHARON COHEN MEDICAL INTUITIVE
SHARON
COHEN, medical intuitive, NDEr, dowser...and a gifted
healer. Sharon Cohen received degrees from Loyola
University in biology, physiology and dental hygiene.
While working as a dental hygienist, she found she
was able to smell disease states on her patient's
breath, often before they were diagnosed. After
surviving a near-death experience, she found herself
extremely intuitive as well as very sensitive to
energy. She was able to merge consciousness and
understand the "truth" of many issues
and dis-ease states. Read

the next meeting of the very active and well organised
Chicago branch of the International Association
for Near Death Experiences (IANDS) on Saturday,
January 10, 2009.
CHICAGO IANDS
began in May 1998, to provide a support and study
group for those who have had a Near-Death Experience
or are interested in the subject. It is one of many
Friends of IANDS groups around the world.
It is now estimated that there are
over 25,000,000 near-death survivors in the United
States, which is about 10% of the US population.
These experiences often leave the experiencer with
an expanded sense of reality which can often be
better understood by sharing with others. Talking
about an experience and/or listening to others talk
about their experiences has a profound healing effect
on many who participate. Read

POWELLS BOOKSHOP While
we were in Portland Oregon over Christmas we visited Powell's Bookshop, the world’s
biggest bookshop for new and used books of all kinds.
Naturally I headed for the extensive metaphysical/
afterlife/afterdeath section. There were a number
of familiar books – including early editions
of Mark Macy’s brilliant books, James Van
Praagh and many, many others. Explore
Powell’s Bookshop on line.
DIANE AHLQUIST'S BOOK "LIFE
AFTER DEATH"
caught
my eye (by Alpha – Penguin Group U.S.) For
those starting out and for those who want a lifetime
reference about the afterlife Diane’s book
is a gem. It provides a 315 page overview arranged
under four headings: Religion and the afterlife,
Portals to the Light, What do Dead People Do? and
The Return to the Planet. She also has an appendix
where she outlines a ten day plan to teach people
to make their own direct contact with a departed
loved one. Read

FEEDBACK We very thankfully
received a number of emails over the holidays very
similar to this one:
“Dear Victor & Wendy Zammit:Thank you
for your newsletter. I found and have read it during
this year 2008. It has brought, perhaps, more encouragement
and hope into my life than nearly anything else
this year. Blessings on you and yours for this effort
to reach out to others around the world and provide
vital information and support. Peace Be With You,
Jay D., Alpine, Texas.”
(Thank you Jay and we thank all those very nice
people who sent us these very encouraging wishes.)
MATERIALIZATION CORNER
- BE CAREFUL OF QUACKS ATTACKING SEANCES: A
colleague alerted me to a video on youtube
where
some alleged ‘illusionist’ is attacking
all materialization séances claiming they
rely on simple tricks. When it comes to seances,
these are ignorant amateurs who try to break into
the illusionist profession and try to get attention,
to get publicity and notoriety.
What did this fraudulent quack 'illusionist'
Ian get WRONG? Plenty- with David Thompson's séances: - music is
played to raise vibrations,
- invoking divine protection
is mandatory,
- the medium is tied not only
in two places but in some TWENTY THREE places,
- the medium’s legs
are tied to the chair,
- the medium’s mouth
is covered tightly by a cloth gag,
- independent investigators
inspect the chair, shoes, hands, feet,
- sometimes female voices
are heard,
- materialized loved ones
identify sitters giving information that nobody
apart from the sitter knows,
- materialized spirits give
information later found to be correct,
- materialized loved ones
recognize sitters and recall incidents when living
on earth.
- investigator is allowed
to hold the gag tied around the medium’s mouth
and spirit voices are still heard.
- sitters
in weekly home circle séances do NOT pay
money.
Do NOT be fooled by
these quack amateur 'illusionists' when it comes
to materialisation seances. Seek professional assistance
from Ros and Dennis at Zerdin
Phenomenal or from Chris, Circle leader of the
Circle
of the Silver Cord - see link next item below.
A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE DEEP
TRANCE MEDIUMSHIP - the experience of a
lifetime! Those of you who are serious
about experiencing mediumship
may like to take the opportunity to attend a deep
trance demonstration with
David Thompson. David is of the most gifted physical/materialization
mediums in the world today. He will be holding a
special public session in Sydney on Saturday January
31st at Crows Nest. You will have a chance to converse
with David's guide and friend from the afterlife,
William (pictured) who takes over David's body completely.
He is able to coat David's
larynx with ectoplasm so that his voice is identical
to when he materializes. I can assure you that if
you attend and ask William a question or two, guaranteed,
you will be conversing with an afterlife intelligence.

YOUR
LEGAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY VICTOR ZAMMIT:'SERVICE TO MY REGULAR READERS
AND TO THE COMMUNITY':
whilst this has nothing to do with afterlife matters,
over the many
years of doing afterlife research, I received many
questions from my regular readers who needed legal
advice but did not have the money to go to a lawyer.
Accordingly, I have put on the website a special
section for the many legal questions/answers (e.g.
negligence, defamation, police matters, murder,
assault, divorce, Wills, probate, property, claims
against insurance co's., leases, marriage rights,
medical assault, police radars - and for other,
click on archives on the blog) for for my regular
readers - and for general readership and information.

BEQUESTS:
It is vitally important that professional accredited
and registered afterlife researchers be given
funding so that they
can help the world understand that there is an
afterlife. After you have provided for your family
in your will consider making a bequest which will
bring about ‘LIGHT’ on a global level
after you’ve gone. So far, we can highly
recommend the following legally registered organizations
who will use your funding to benefit humanity:
SOMETHING
INSPIRATIONAL, SOMETHING MEMORABLEAs we approach the inauguration of President
Obama you might like to revisit the spectacular
anti-war movie HAIR which caused an international
sensation when it was released. Reports say the
movie influenced millions of people around the
world. This clip of the song LET THE SUNSHINE
IN contains one of the most moving images
in the film as hippie George Berger, who has temporarily
taken the place in the army barracks of his conscripted
friend Claude, marches into the bowels on the
military transport plane taking him and thousands
of other fine young men to their deaths in Vietnam.
Enjoy the song and the longing for a better world
it captures.
