COMMENTARY:
HOLLYWOOD
LEGEND CROSSES OVER: The
death of Paul Newman,
one of Hollywood’s serious actors, who crossed over
this week at age 83 years reminds us of both the frailty
and the purpose of life. He generally presented a decency
which influenced generations. He also was unselfish, helping
others and he was a philanthropist. He gave away an estimated
$300 million to charities from his salad dressings and
food company. In a recent interview he said that he got
50 times the satisfaction from his charity work with dying
children than he did from movie stardom. He is not likely
to have any problems at all on crossing over. A number
of other highly charismatic celebrities from Hollywood
as Goodwill Ambassadors, made a special endeavor to help
the underprivileged in Africa and in other third world
countries working for UNICEF who for years. In the past
there were charismatic movie-stars such as Audrey
Hepburn, Danny Kaye, Peter Ustinov and these days there
are other moviestars
such as Pierce Brosnan , Danny Glover, Jacki Chan, Lucy
Liu, Sir Roger Moore (pictured left), Angelina Jolie (right)
and others. It is so wonderful to see these international
stars using their stardom to influence public opinion
regarding the plight of those trying to survive under
some very horrible conditions. Service, we are informed
from the other side, is the highest form of religion and
does wonders for the consciousness (vibrations) of the
person doing the service.
CHALLENGING DOGMATISM IN SCIENCE
I stated in the past that
the world is experiencing the final historical
conflict in science between traditional reductionist science
and the paranormal, (non-physical science). The evidence
shows that throughout history there were those who experienced
the paranormal – fundamentally inconsistent with
traditional physical science. The paranormal has not only
stayed with us over the thousands of years, it has now
become more objective, more scientific and is being accepted
by more millions around the world. In the past there has
been a 'dialectical' clash between hard core science and
paranormal/spirituality – in academia, in literature,
in the popular press, and recently on radio and television
- and even on the internet. As I pointed out in the article
Dialectical spiritualism,
the skeptics' attack on the paranormal is in fact part
of the continuous dialectical clash and refining process.
Today the nineteenth century atheism which shaped traditional
science is being challenged on all fronts. This is the
subject matter of a fascinating video made recently for
the 2008 annual general meeting of the Scientific and
Medical Network where david Lorimer talk with Dr Rupert
Sheldrake and Dr Peter Fenwick. Watch Part 1 of "Challenging
Dogmatism in Science and Religion."
DR
RUPERT SHELDRAKE'S homepage
Rupert
Sheldrake, one of the world’s most innovative biologists,
is best known for his theory of morphic fields and morphic
resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing
universe with its own inherent memory. He first worked
in developmental biology at Cambridge University, and
is currently Director of the Perrott-Warrick project.

THE
SUPREME ADVENTURE The great scientist Dr.
Robert Crookall, D.Sc., PhD, undertook
a systematic study of hundreds of such communications
from the afterlife and published the results in his book
The Supreme Adventure (1961). These are some
of his findings about a natural death:
* In the case of a natural death, about an hour
before "visible death" a dying person vacates
the physical body and stands nearby perfectly conscious
and happy.
* Many see and hear friends who have gone before whom
they have "called". Everyone is met by somebody.
* Until the silver cord is broken (usually within a few
minutes but with someone very materialistic can be up
to a few days) the person will continue to be aware of
the physical body and its surroundings. At this time they
are often seen by people as they think about them.
*Many communicators describe the act of dying as 'easy',
'natural' and even 'delightful'.
* Once the 'silver cord' is snapped the
average person who dies naturally enjoys a recuperative
sleep lasting for three or four days. This can be lengthened
as a result of a long and severe illness, excessive grief
on the part of friends and relatives or the fixed idea
that there is no afterlife which acts like a post-hypnotic
suggestion.
* The above-average person who dies without exhausting
illness, and whose friends replace selfish grief by quiet
prayer, may have little or no sleep.
* Many declared that they were astonished that their death
was so natural and that the new environment was real,
familiar, pleasant, beautiful and earth-like.

UNINFORMED POP-JOURNALIST HUGELY BLUNDERS
IN AFTERLIFE MATTERS: 'Julie' sent me
a press-cutting - a most scurrilous, dirty article attacking
international medium John Edward
, written by a journalist in a Sydney mainstream newspaper,
The Sun-Herald (28/9/08). It's fine to be skeptical but
this journalist, through his ignorance and entrenched
negative prejudice exceeded the boundaries of reasonableness
and ridiculed anyone who dares to think that "talking
to the dead" is possible. Clearly this journalist
shows he has not done any research into the afterlife.
He did not mention that John Edward was subject to stringent
scientific testing in the USA - and that the scientists
and empiricists who tested John Edward accepted him to
be 80% accurate (see last week's report). Time to enter
the twenty-first century. I strongly advise you to see
John Edward yourself and learn something about your inevitable
future in November in Sydney! In the videos below we see
a young John Edward doing readings (and dancing). In Part
5 he reads two people who are very impressed. In part
6 he reads for a skeptical journalist similar to the anti-afterlife
journalist mentioned - who dismisses his "hits"
and ridicules the idea of the afterlife. Part

‘LIST’ AGAINST THE
AFTERLIFE: Sarah sent me an
email asking me to put up in two columns the evidence
for and against the afterlife. I replied that I put up
some twenty two areas of afterlife evidence for the existence
of the afterlife – See
book index. So far the evidence against consists of:
"it didn't happen (fraud or mis-observation), it's
all in the mind (biological explanation) and it can't
be happening (reliance on out-dated science.) I am more
than happy if anyone can submit any information, any ground
or any reason arguing that there is not or cannot be an
afterlife to 2008[at] victorzammit.com
LINKS UPDATED
We have spent the last week working on the links section
of our site making sure that they all work again. We've
tried to provide a basic selection of links that is not
too overwhelming- a fuller selection will be provided
with the 5th edition update of the book which we are working
on now. Please check out the new
links page and email wendy[at]deathandafter.com if
you find any that are still not working or if you have
any to add.
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.
Your decision to bring about ‘LIGHT’ on a
global level after you’ve gone is likely to have
considerable advantages for you in the afterlife. So far,
we can highly recommend the following legally registered
organizations who will use your funding to benefit humanity: *
The American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena
– * The Windbridge
Institute for applied research
* The
Forever Family Foundation
In the future we will include other registered organizations
which are doing afterlife research. Please email for details.
FRENCH, SPANISH, ITALIAN, PORTUGUESE,
DUTCH, RUSSIAN AND GERMAN SPEAKERS wanted.
Thanks to the goodwill of wonderful translators we now
have full translations of the evidence for the afterlife
in French,
Russian,
Spanish, Portuguese,
and Italian.
Manny Asvadi is working of our German translation (see
chapters 1-7) which
he expects to have finished before Christmas. We are creating
full websites in each language.
If you speak one of these languages you can help by
i) locating good links especially to audio and video for
each chapter which people can access in their own language....
Please send them to wendy[at]deathandafter.com.
ii) promote the sites by linking to them in social networking
sites, your language version of wikipedia and blogs.
MARILYN MONROE’SMEMORABLE AFTERLIFE QUOTE
Perhaps the most popular and
most controversial blonde Hollywood actress of the 60’s
who died tragically at the age of 36 years is remembered
for saying: “Hollywood’s a place where they’ll
pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents
for your soul.”
CHRISTIAN THEOLOGIAN WANTED
to answer one interesting question put to me by an emailer:
consider these
features he said of a ‘world savior’: born 25th
December, of a virgin, Star in the East, adored by three
kings, teacher at 12 years old, baptized at 30, had 12 disciples,
performed miracles, was called Lamb of God and the Light,
was crucified, dead 3 days then resurrected and went to
heaven. This was NOT Jesus but Horus in Egypt 3,000 years
ago. But there are more ‘saviors’: Attis 1200BC,
Mithra 1200BC, Dionysius 500 BC (who in addition to the
features mentioned above also turned water into wine), Krishna
900 BC- ALL HAD THE SAME FEATURES STATED ABOVE. Why is it
then that Christians say Jesus was unique and the only one
with his particular circumstances? Please forward answers
2008@victorzammit.com Thanks.

AUSTRALIAN GIRL
DISAPPEARS IN CROATIA
It’s been over three weeks now that 21 year old
Australian
Britt Lapthorne (pictured) has been missing after last
being seen visiting a nightclub in Croatia. It's the worst
nightmare of every parent of a traveling son or daughter.
Croatian police claim they did their best – but
the police ought to have known a great deal about the
nightclub - it’s their job to know. Yet they said
they don't know anything. Yet Britt's disappearance is
frighteningly only one of many. Two million women and
children go missing every year and we are told that most
of them end up in the sex slave trade (Read
report). Warning to those adventurous young girls
who want to explore the world: Never accept an invitation
to go to nightclubs or anywhere else from strangers -
unless your security can be independently guaranteed.

ITEM: 'NOT FOR SALE' The following
is a tremendous indictment of human greed and cruelty.
According to the Not for Sale website: "It is estimated
that more than 27 million people are trafficked or enslaved
in an industry worth almost $US31 billion ($A33.3 billion).
It is growing so fast it is third in size to the black
market for drugs and arms. In our globalised world we
can no longer think of slavery as something that happens
"over there". In fact every time you go to the
supermarket you are potentially fuelling this boom in
human trafficking and slavery – in which the greatest
victims are children. If you eat chocolate or drive a
well-known brand of car with tyres from one of the bigger-name
companies, chances are these products have raw ingredients
linked to human slavery, exploitation and trafficking."

for sale website and See

HIGHLY GIFTED MEDIUMS WANTED TO
TELL US ABOUT THE CURRENT FINANCIAL CRISIS:
if the experts
are right, unless something quite spectacular occurs in
the next few weeks - generally, the world is not likely
to be as well off as we are to-day. But I'm not so pessimistic
as some of the "so-called" experts. Things may
go bad for a while, but human ingenuity will rise above
the bad news. If there are some gifted mediums who can
see the future, let us know what the prognosis is for
the world.
MATERIALIZATION CORNER Ken Pretty, who now teaches mediumship
at the Spiritual
Alliance in Auckland, knows a thing or two about mediumship
having been a medium for more than sixty years. If you
are in Auckland drop into this thriving spiritual community
run by Elizabeth Pretty and Ken which has a number of
developing mediums including healers and psychic artists.
In this audio interview he talks about his experiences
with physical mediums David Thompson including his reconnection
with several close friends. Listen

"THIS TOO WILL PASS"
It's so easy in these troubled economic
times to get caught up in the atmosphere of anxiety, fear
and panic and forget what is really important. Here is
a short practice that may help us to stay centred....
"
We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life
comes and goes. Happiness comes and goes. Sorrow comes
and goes..... You have seen all the changes. You have
survived all setbacks, all defeats and all sorrows. All
have passed away. If there are problems in the present,
they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever.
Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They
both will pass away. Who are you in reality? Know your
real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change
with the time. However, there is something in you, which
will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that
unchangeable ? It is nothing but your true self.
You are just a witness of change. Experience it, understand
it. Everyday for 10-15 minutes sit in silence. Just think
over the sentence, " This too will pass." Pondering
over your own life will make you realize the true meaning
of this sentence. Everything passes yet your real identity
remains the same. That real you is your true self. To
know that self is true meditation. " Read
