COMMENTARY: FASCINATING PRE-BIRTH EXPERIENCES While most people are familiar with Near-Death Experiences (NDE), we are only now beginning to systematically investigate the incidence of Pre-Birth Experiences (PBEs).
While some people use the term pre-birth experiences to describe memories of life in the womb before birth, others use the term to describe a spiritual pre-existence, choosing their parents and working with masters to decide the type of challenges they will face here on earth. Some describe being offered a choice of 3 possible lives with an explanation of how each would help their soul growth. And most fascinating of all, some like Christian Sundberg's account below, describe the process by which they are prepared to be incarnated.
Until recently many of the accounts of these memories have been anecdotal - most frequently children telling their parents details of having chosen them, or which of their relatives had accompanied them to Earth, or of having met deceased relatives in heaven before they were born. Some of these accounts seem to contain very specific details such as the children describing a place where they came to look over the parents before the child was conceived.
Another common experience is that of people who have visions of a child before the child is conceived. Later when the child is born and grows up they recognize him/her as the one they saw years before.
Fortunately, more and more people are talking about a whole range of these experiences that give us important insights into the fact that our lives are eternal and we come here for a purpose. Read examples of PBE accounts.
REMEMBERING HEAVEN 2022 - SARAH HINZE
Author, speaker, and filmmaker Sarah Hinze compiled dozens of uplifting and remarkable accounts of parents and families who have had the opportunity to meet the souls of their sons and daughters before they were born. These souls share that we are all eternal spirits who lived in a realm of light and beauty before coming to earth.
YOUR SOUL'S PLANAND YOUR SOUL'S GIFT
Robert Schwartz has been investigating pre-birth plans with the help of four gifted mediums and channels. His book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born (2009) presents the actual conversations people had with their future parents, children, spouses, friends, and other loved ones when they planned their lives together. For readers, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.
CHRISTIAN SUNDBERG: PRE-BIRTH EXPERIENCE, LIFE BEFORE INCARNATION, AND WHY WE COME TO EARTH
After he began remembering the experiences which led him to choose to reincarnate on Earth, Christian took up a meditation practice and experienced a personal awakening journey. He began to have Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) and connected with profound soul wisdom. His book, “A Walk in the Physical,” contains answers to the deepest questions people ask about the way our lives work including God, Purpose, Judgement, Suicide, Soul Contracts, Suffering, Prayer and Healing to name just a few. It is available as a free pdf on his website.
DR DEAN RADIN: THE FOUR STAGES OF HOW SCIENCE REACTS TO NEW IDEAS
"In science, the acceptance of new ideas follows a predictable, four-stage sequence. In Stage 1, skeptics confidently proclaim that the idea is impossible because it violates the Laws of Science. This stage can last from years to centuries, depending on how much the idea challenges conventional wisdom. Stage 2, skeptics reluctantly concede that the idea is possible, but it is not very interesting and the claimed effects are extremely weak.
Stage 3, begins when the mainstream realizes that the idea is not only important, but its effects are much stronger and more pervasive than previously imagined.
Stage 4, is achieved when the same critics who used to disavow any interest in the idea begin to proclaim that they thought of it first. Eventually, no one remembers that the idea was once considered a dangerous heresy."
( Dr. Dean Radin, The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena Ch.1)
NORMA EDWARDS DIES AND IS SHOWN HER PAST LIVES Rev. Norma Edwards D. Div. died during complications of early pregnancy, and what she saw during a tour of the afterlife is nothing short of astounding. She was shown the Akashic records, the truth about fear and guilt, and even taken on a tour of her past lives during this life-after-death tour of heaven, and what happens to us when we die.
BRAZILIAN MEDIUM CHICO XAVIER WAS 99% ACCURATE As well as writing 450 books dictated by spirits, Chico Xavier (1910 – June 30, 2002) psychographed more than 10,000 personal letters from spirits to their loved ones. He never accepted payment and, because of this, his house was always full of people. Many times he slept only 4 hours a day. The contents of his psychographed letters were accepted in Brazilian courts 3 times - in 1979,1982, and 1985.
In 2014 a group of experimenters analyzed a set of 13 letters allegedly written by the same spiritual author (J.P.). They checked the accuracy of 99 items of verifiable information contained in the letters. 98% of these items were rated as "Clear and Precise Fit" and no item was rated as "no Fit." See the journal article.
MY JOURNEY AS A MEDIUM - CHERYL PAGE Cheryl Page is a scientifically-minded clinical researcher by training who runs the research department at a hospital in New Hampshire. Before July 2017, mediumship and speaking to spirits was the furthest thing from her mind or reality. It was only after the tragic loss of the love of her life that she was awakened to her capabilities as a medium. She is living proof we each can connect with those we love who have transitioned to the higher side of life. She shares some extraordinary experiences about signs, readings, and the importance of asking "what if". Cheryl will be our guest on Sunday's Global Gathering
(see below).
PETER RAMSTER ON CROSSING OVER
Afterlife researcher, author, and film director/ producer Peter Ramster writes: "The extraordinary nature of this world was brought home to me when I had my last heart attack, and I had my interesting experience. I realised that moving from this world into the next is a bit like the scene in the Harry Potter movie where they walk into the wall on the station and suddenly find themselves in another one. That is so close to the reality it surprised me. One minute I was in this one. In a matter of an instant, I wasn't. Then I watched the world disappearing and melting away, as a new world appeared, separated from me by an extraordinary bright light. In that instant, I knew how little we understand about life, and how much more there is to know.
Life is not easy, but it's quite a wondrous journey really, and we should all try to make the best of it. Above all, remember to remain kind, loving, giving, generous, and wonderful in nature, then you have probably achieved most of what you came here for."
THE INNER VOICE MAGAZINE AND ANGEL GUIDANCENancy Freier gave a wonderful talk about
how she began communicating with Spirit following the death of her fiance. She taught herself automatic handwriting with which to document the messages she began to hear. In the beginning, the focus of these readings was to heal her grief by communicating with her deceased fiancé, but as time went on, the angels came through with answers to help others. In 1993 she began publishing "The Inner Voice Magazine" to share the wisdom she was receiving. Ultimately this led Nancy to write the book: "Angel Guidance: Wisdom For Navigating Life’s Challenges". Starting next month, Nancy will be offering a group on the first Saturday of the month at 11 a.m. Pacific time to share angel guidance. Stay tuned for details.

Global Gathering: Cheryl Page: Stepping Outside the Box to New Potentials in Mediumship
Coloring inside the lines, and only following the firmly established “rules” as we practice mediumship, inhibits our capacities. There are as many ways to connect with those in Spirit as there are people in Spirit to connect with. We inadvertently cut ourselves off from the nearly infinite possibilities Spirit brings when we are rigid about the “right” way to practice mediumship. “Don’t be a medium-sheep” is a reminder that if we stay open, infinitely more is possible.

RETURNING HOME AFTER FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT The Universal Spiritual Brother&Sisterhood (USB) points out that, while we are not expected or required to be perfect on earth, we can, on the whole, live up to our highest conceptions of what is noble. If we do that, we shall fight the good fight and we can then say when it is time to leave the earth:
“Weep not for me when I am gone,
I shall have journeyed to the known:
Old scenes; old friends to gaze upon,
Greet and embrace—own of my own.
The wells of memory shall be
Unsealed, and all the glorious past,
Half hidden now, revealed to me—
A traveller home again at last.
So I implore one thing of thee:
Weep not; instead, rejoice for me”.
The full teachings of The USB are collected in its book, Spiritual Light, published by USB Vision Press.
HOW TO RAISE YOUR SPIRITUAL "VIBRATIONS"
The very best conduct to adopt for a fulfilled life and a wonderful afterlife is unselfish service, loving all, and giving help whenever possible. The natural law tells us that every unselfish act increases the vibrations of our spirit-body. All negative actions (especially cruelty) reduce the vibrations of the spirit-etheric body. On crossing over the level of vibrations, the spiritual stage we have reached, will determine automatically the conditions we find ourselves in.
MILLIONAIRES WHO REALISED THAT THERE IS MORE IN LIFE THAN THE MATERIAL
Throughout history, we have read inspiring stories of men and women who, like the Buddha, have turned their backs on a life of wealth and privilege to live more noble lives. It is still happening. Read more.

"Hi Victor and Wendy,
I very much agree with your choice of movies which display heartfelt feelings and stories relating to the afterlife, spirituality, and plain old-fashioned morality. I could add several to the list including "It Happened One Christmas" the remake of "It's a Wonderful Life", "Secret Santa", "Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus", "Finding Nemo", "The Fourth Wish" and "The Christmas Tree" aka "When Wolves Cry'. I would also unashamedly add my own 8-book saga "afterlifenovels.com".
There is far too much needless violence and sex in movies and books today. If the context of the story demands some reference to it OK but these days that seems to be the whole focus together with special effects". Gary J McCleary.
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: "ONE LOVE" FROM "PLAYING FOR CHANGE"
