Apologies everyone if
Wendy and I have not answered your emails. We have been
seriously in overload in the past few weeks.
COMMENTARY:
'MATERIALIST' & 'NON- MATERIALIST' SCIENCE
If a scientist is employed by a materialist organisation
and told that he/she must have nothing to do with the
paranormal (with implied threats of loss of job, promotion,
speaking opportunities etc.) he/she will usually become
anti-paranormal. The world knows very well that any
evidence about the paranormal will be automatically
rejected by this 'materialist-scientist'. But there
are other courageous,'non-materialist' scientists. They
often do their work quietly, as a sideline to their
main job. Or they may struggle in a small non-profit
organisation with very little funding.
SELF-FUNDING RESEARCH: It wasn't always
like this. Up until the 1920's many of the leaders of
the scientific and intellectual establishment of Great
Britain and the USA were very interested and active
in investigating the afterlife and telepathy. Thomas
Edison worked on ways to communicate with the dead,
and Pierre
and Marie Curie attended seances. Many, like Sir
William Crookes
(pic. left) - the greatest scientist in his time, were
able to finance their own investigations of mediumship
(which was then the main source of evidence) in their
own laboratories.
But these days there are virtually no independently
employed scientists. Science has become a tool of government
and big business and there has been increasing pressure
put on scientists to stay away from controversial areas,
even in their own time. Often it is only when they retire
that they are able to dedicate their time to their real
interests, or go public with their discoveries.
DONNA SMITH-MONCRIEFFE INTERVIEWS PROFESSOR
PETER WADHAMS, an expert on climate
change who has undertaken 40 research expeditions to
measure the arctic polar ice. (Read
more). In this discussion with Donna Smith-Moncrieffe,
he talks about the pressures put on scientists to stay
away from controversial subjects like parapsychology.
He claims that, in spite of this pressure, 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. Read

A TYPICAL NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE Dramatisation
of a man who has a heart attack and finds himself outside
his body. He finds that other people cannot hear him.
He sees a loved one but she tells him it is not time for
him to die. He finds himself back in his body. He now
knows that there is an afterlife.
VERIDICAL NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
Some
of the patients who have been revived after a cardiac
arrest have been able to describe in great technical detail
exactly what went on in the operating room while they
were unconscious. We call these accounts 'veridical'.
In this video, famous cardiac surgeon Dr. Rudy talks about
a NDE case. The patient had been declared dead. But he
miraculously came back to life and was able to describe
everything that happened in the operating room. One specific
things that astounded Dr. Rudi was that the patient described
post it notes put onto the computer monitor of the surgeon
AFTER the patient had been made unconscious. Watch
video
AFTER DEATH COMMUNICATIONS
Dr. Elisabeth Targ, a brilliant doctor
and researcher into spiritual healing, died from a brain
tumor at the age of 42. After she died, 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 Jane 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

INSTRUMENTAL TRANSCOMMUNICATION
For many years Marcello Bacci has been holding
sessions on Friday nights with parents whose sons or daughters
have died. The voices of the children come through on
an old valve radio tuned to white noise in the short wave
band. Clear voices can be heard which answer questions.
Many scientists have investigated and books have already
been written about his work (read report
by Paolo Presi). Bacci today continues his research
using his old valve radio.
WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN WE DIE? "It
is the nature of non-physical reality
that nothing can remain hidden, and who we were, and who
we are, will be clear for all the world to see. We cannot
hide it or hide from it. Our actions, thoughts and feelings
will render our looks beautiful or ugly. If we lived our
life at great cost to others, the diminishing effects
will show in our appearance. If we served, enriched and
empowered others, it too will show and manifest in a positive
way."

EXTENDED CONTACT BETWEEN A DECEASED LOVED
ONE AND A SIGNIFICANT OTHER Some of the
richest sources of information about the afterlife have
been communications from a person who has crossed over
communicating extensively with a loved one. There have
been several cases where young men who died suddenly,
by suicide, in war or by accident, maintained detailed
communication with their mothers. One of the recent ones
is Erik Medhus and his mother Elisa.
SIR OLIVER LODGE was
an exceptionally brilliant scientist.
He studied at the Royal College of Science and at University
College. Achieved his DSc in 1877 and by 1881 he was
Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Liverpool. In
1884 he joined the Society for Psychical Research. In
1900 he accepted an offer to become first Principal
of Birmingham University, and shaped its course until
he retired in 1919. Because of of his scientific fame
he was able to make it a condition of his appointment
that he be allowed to continue his work in psychical
research. He first became convinced of survival after
extensive examination of Leonora Piper's remarkable
phenomena in 1889. Lodge was a pioneer in wireless telegraphy
and actually sent a radio message one year before Marconi.

HALF A MILLION - $500,000 CHALLENGE TO
ANY SKEPTICAL MAGICIAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHO CAN DUPLICATE
DAVID THOMPSON'S MATERIALIZATIONS Materializations are the greatest proof for the
afterlife we have in the world.Some
ten years ago that closed minded magician, J. Randi, claimed
he can duplicate anything the paranormalists can do. I
offered this magician - and others from anywhere around
the world - a cool $400,000 if they could duplicate what
physical
medium David Thompson (pic. left) has been able to demonstrate.
I challenged them to put up or shut up! For the last ten
years this once flamboyant magician Randi FAILED to take
on the challenge! Has he accepted the validity of materializations?
Has he seen the light? Now I increase the challenge to
$500,000 to duplicate what this great materialization
medium has done (read reports by Donna
Smith-Moncrieffe and others) Got the courage? Got
the fortitude? Got the nerve? **Conditions apply. Interested?

CHILDREN WHO REMEMBER PAST LIVES is
a recent area of afterlife research.
EUROPEAN CASES OF THE REINCARNATION
TYPE In order to show that reincarnation
cases occur
in European cultures, where fewer people believe in reincarnation,
Dr. Ian Stevenson wrote his last book '
European Cases of the Reincarnation Type ' (2003)
This book focuses on 40 different reincarnation research
case studies in a Western setting. The book describes
behaviors or statements made by individuals, most frequently
during childhood, that would be completely foreign to
their upbringing or genetic factors. For example, David
Llewellyn, born in England in 1970, possessed a significant
knowledge of Jewish religious and dietary customs and
also experienced nightmares and phobias with themes of
concentration camps.
TELEVISION PROGRAMS INVESTIGATING PSYCHIC
MEDIUMSHIP The 'Sensing Murder' series
tested mediums who felt they could connect with victims
of a serious crime. The mediums were given a photo of
a person and asked to give as much detail as they could
about his/her background and about what had happened to
that person. Only the top 5% of the mediums could do this.
On the New Zealand series, a skeptical psychologist hired
by the program became convinced that the mediums would
not go through what they did if they were not genuine.
SPIRITUAL LIGHT:
Universal Teachings from the Highest Spirit Realms
by Michael Flagg
and John Finnemore. Modern contact with
the Spirit World through Spiritualism and Spiritism has
always had two aims. The first is to prove that we all
survive death. The main method by which this fact has
been demonstrated is mediumship. However there is also
a second even more important aim. This is to uplift mankind
with teachings from higher spirits about the rules of
the game of life. If, like many, you enjoy reading Silver
Birch, 'The Spirits Book', Seth and 'A Course in Miracles'
you owe it to yourself to explore the next installment
of wisdom in this book. Anyone who is familiar with the
higher levels of mediumship will immediately recognize
that this work is coming from the highest vibration. Read

WHEN YOU PUT THAT EXTRA BIT OF LOVE AND
CARE INTO YOUR WORK LIVES ARE CHANGED
FEEDBACK:
(Three only). Received always with thanks!
1) Thanks so very much for the section on Children.
I have had visions about this since my beautiful daughter,
Samantha, passed in Oct 2007. I am now sure that she is
helping children after they die. Susannah
2) Belief versus Evidence. Many thanks for coming up with
this excellent distillation. It is not often that I encounter
anything that states a fundamental concept as clearly
and as succinctly as this. I have already use it in conversations
with people and note that it has a powerful effect in
the discussions.
Les Harris
3) I need to tell you how sorry I am that I don't give
you feedback more often. I hope you know by now, that
like many others, I love your work, and truly appreciate
everything that you and Wendy do.

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.
