COMMENTARY: A THIRD ALTERNATIVE
Sadly, a lot of people equate the afterlife with religion and, when they reject the absurdities of simplistic religions developed thousands of years ago, they close their minds to the afterlife. It's called "throwing the baby out with the bathwater".
In rejecting the threats of eternal damnation, they also cut themselves off from exploring The Greater Reality. They shut the door firmly on anything spiritual or paranormal and retreat into skepticism, claiming (incorrectly) that science says there cannot be an afterlife.
For many years we have been showing that the evidence for the afterlife has nothing to do with religion and that it is perfectly possible to be an agnostic or an atheist and still accept the evidence for the afterlife. There is a large and growing group of people who describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious."
We have also shown that some of the greatest scientists in history who took the time to investigate the evidence for the afterlife became convinced of its existence. These days their discoveries are being supported by the advances in quantum physics which show that at the base of all matter, there is only consciousness—which some people describe as 'The Universe' or even God.
ATHEIST DIES AND REMEMBERS HER REAL HOME Nancy Rynes, an atheist and scientist, had an NDE (Near-Death Experience) after being hit by an SUV while riding her bike, where she went to Heaven and met God and an angel. An NDE (Near-Death Experience) occurs when someone dies, is revived, and learns there is life after death. Nancy's NDE (Near-Death Experience) was a life-altering experience that changed her entire life.
HARRY STAYED CLOSE TO EARTH WHEN HE DIED
So if an atheist like Nancy Rynes can go straight into "Heaven" why is it that some people are temporarily earthbound when they first cross over? A spirit named Harry turned up at a sitting with direct-voice medium Leslie Flint. in 1957. Harry says that he didn't believe in an afterlife and when he died, he stayed around his friends. He went to pubs and then realised he could now travel the world. But no one could hear him, and no one could see him, so it was a lonely existence as an Earth-bound spirit. After some time, he sensed another spirit following him, so he found a quiet place and sent out a thought asking for help. Read or listen to what happened.
MAN REMEMBERS CHOOSING HIS BODY
During his near-death experience, Aaron Thomas Green was able to gain insights into the pre-life process where he agreed to all the things that led his soul to become Aaron. At 12 minutes he talks about choosing his bodily characteristics and life plans. At 19 minutes he describes realms the various realms he went to after previous deaths.
AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE: AUTOMATIC WRITING
This is when scripts are produced without the control of the conscious self. It is a very common form of psychic activity, but not always true mediumship. In its highest form, it is an excellent channel for teachings from the spirit world. Usually, the hand of the medium is controlled and writes at a furious pace without pause for thought. Often the handwriting is unfamiliar, there is no punctuation, and sometimes back to front (mirror writing). The medium can be conscious and otherwise engaged mentally in reading or conversation while the writing progresses. The scripts sometimes exhibit a knowledge far exceeding that of the medium. Read more about some of the most evidential writing mediums.

SHARED DEATH EXPERIENCES - WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW
In a shared death experience (SDE), a caregiver of a dying loved one has a sense of participating in the loved one’s transition to the afterlife. The experience can take any of several forms and typically has a profoundly positive effect on the caregiver. Read more about The Shared Crossings Project.
MERCHANTS OF LIGHT - THE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS CHANGING THE WORLD Betty Kovacs explains the different waves of spiritual awakenings throughout history, and how we found techniques to experience higher states of consciousness. She shows that we are now experiencing a new spiritual renaissance, how we can find our divine spark and remember who we really are.
HAVE YOU HAD AN EXPERIENCE OF EXPANDED AWARENESS?
Every spiritual practice around the world has developed methods for helping people to have these experiences. The most common are chanting, repetition of prayers or mantras, controlling the breath, rhythmic dancing, drumming, fasting, long periods of isolation, and the ritual use of psychedelic plants and substances. Ken Vincent has collected cases of Ancient Attempts at Inducing Spiritually Transformative Experiences.

HOW DID THE USB SPIRITUAL TEACHERS GET THEIR AFTERLIFE WISDOM THROUGH TO MANKIND? Professor John Finnemore explains how, over 30 years, Michael Flagg received the Universal Spiritual Brother & Sisterhood (USB) teachings through the channels of different highly spiritual mediums, including Leslie Flint, Estelle Roberts, and Ruth Flagg, as presented in the book Spiritual Light. Watch his video: How the Spirit Teachers Spoke with us.
HOW TO CONNECT WITH YOUR SPIRIT GUIDES
Learn to talk with your own spirit guides, spirit helpers, angels, and more. Susan Lynne produced a spiritual video series "Wisdom On Wednesday or W.O.W." You can find lots of videos on spiritual topics like soul contracts, yeti, aliens, ascension, energy, vibrations, human incarnation, past lives, and much more, on her playlist.
FIGHT IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTITION "Each one of you should seek to carry on the work of reform, to bring cheer and happiness to all who need it, to wipe away all tears and to replace them with laughter, to fight all ignorance and superstition, to let knowledge reign in their place, to abolish all the darkness and to allow the light of divine truth to penetrate, to banish all fear, all mourning, all disease, so that love can
rule triumphant."
Silver Birch - A Voice in the Wilderness p.93

1) "I so look forward to your posts, they are so uplifting and reassuring; we are not alone down here, the great the good and the wise are there watching over us, with love and support, no one is alone or unloved. People will find out one day how beautiful and wonderful our real home is. There are highly evolved souls there that make us look like juveniles. We have a long way to progress infinitely." Eileen

INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC:
YOU ARE LOVE - DON'T GIVE UP
This is the song that your spirit guides are singing to you all the time.
[Verse 1]
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy, I
I will lift it for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you, I
I will break it for you
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be understood.
Well, I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
[Verse 2]
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside, I
I'll be there to find you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you, I
I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well, I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved (You are loved)
You are loved (You are loved)
[Post-Chorus]
Don't give up (Don't give up)
It's just the weight of the world (You are loved)
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Everyone needs to be heard (Don't give up)
You are loved (You are loved)
