"Bringing light where there is darkness and hope where there is despair."

Last week's report and all previous reports


COMMENTARY: RELIGIONS IMPOSE THEIR OWN CONDITIONS FOR "ETERNAL LIFE"
Apart from the fact that there is no hell for eternity, (a topic for another day) the Bible claims that someone asked Jesus,
"What good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? So here was the opportunity for Jesus (God, according to Christianity) to tell the whole world exactly what is essential for people to go to "heaven".

Jesus' response was to be a good, loving, unselfish person -- in his OWN WORDS:
1. "Thou shalt do no murder",
2. "Thou shalt not commit adultery",
3. "Thou shalt not steal",
4. "Thou shalt not bear false witness",
5. "Honor thy father and mother",
6. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

JESUS DID NOT SAY that:
1. You must believe that he is the second person in the Trinity.
2. You must accept him as your personal savior.
3. You must be baptized.
4. You must believe that a book to be initially compiled in 300 years and finalised in 1500 years called 'the Bible' will be the only inspired word of God.

What we learn from Near-Death Experiences and other sources of afterlife evidence is that the afterlife is a matter of physics not faith - everyone naturally has eternal life.


ARTHUR FINDLAY AND THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE
Orthodox Christians must have been shocked when Arthur Finlay's book "The Rock of Truth" was published in 1933. The information it contained was well known in academic circles, but for the first time was spread widely in the popular press.

Perhaps for the first time, people learned that Jesus was declared to be divine by a vote at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D.. The first vote was negative, but after the opposition had been expelled, a second vote was held and the motion was carried.

Findlay points out that it was important for Emperor Constantine to get the positive vote since, at that time, all Roman Emperors were declared to be gods on their death and if Christianity was to be the state religion of the Roman Empire it needed to be headed by a god.

ON SKEPTICISM: ANTHROPOLOGIST MARGARET MEAD'S MOST INTERESTING INSIGHT
"The whole history of scientific advance is full of scientists investigating phenomena that the establishment did not believe were there."



DR. EDWARD KELLY ON PHYSICISTS OPEN TO AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE
Edward Kelly from the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies, is interviewed on The Consciousness Podcast with Stuart Preston. Dr. Kelly talks about physicists who accept the evidence for the afterlife. He also briefly mentions his sister, who was a transfiguration medium, as being the reason he started to investigate the paranormal field.





POST-MATERIALIST SCIENCE - TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE MANIFESTO
"Signatories of the manifesto for post-materialist science believe that the sciences are being constricted by dogmatism, and in particular by a subservience to the philosophy of materialism, the doctrine that matter is the only reality and that the mind is nothing but the physical activity of the brain.

They also believe that the sciences would be more scientific if they were free to investigate the natural world in a truly open way – without the constraints of materialism and the prejudice of dogma – while adhering to the scientific methods of data collecting, hypothesis testing, and critical discussion.

"Scientists, professors, MDs, and thought leaders: if you wish to show your support, we invite you to become a signatory and have your name added to the growing list".



COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH WHATSAPP
Louise Hamlin was a solicitor and then a law fellow and lecturer at Cambridge University. In 2006, she moved down to Dorset to start a new life, but suddenly and unexpectedly her husband died. In her immense grief, she started to recognize signs that her husband was sending her that could only have come from him. Her book "WhatsApps from Heaven: Bereavement in the Twenty-first Century" is a book about bereavement and also about the many extraordinary happenings and signs from the afterlife that then followed.





HACKING THE OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE

ANSWERS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE -
EPISODE 10
In his series "Afterlife Answers", out-of-body explorer Jurgen Ziewe has been answering questions about things he has personally observed during his more than 40 years of exploring the afterlife dimensions in full waking consciousness. Questions answered include one about Animals on the Astral Level, something that Jurgen is passionate about.





MEDIUM SOLVES CAUSE OF AIR CRASH
One of Eileen Garrett's more memorable communications, as a medium, was the case of the airship the R101 which crashed on October 5, 1930, in France, during its maiden overseas voyage, killing 48 people.

It took place on October 7th, 1930, two days after the crash, as Mrs Garret was being tested as a medium at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research when she suddenly fell into a deep trance. Flight Lieutenant H. C. Irwin, Captain of the airship, suddenly spoke through her and gave the listeners a highly technical account of how the airship crashed.

The narrative was taken down in shorthand and a copy was submitted to the Air Ministry. According to the experts, the information that came through Mrs Garrett was 100% accurate in every detail.

The case is considered one of the most evidential in proving survival after death.



ALL LIFE IS CONNECTED
Cleve Backster made the astounding discovery that plants have feelings and can recognise people who are unkind to them. Even more amazing, he found that they react to the death of any living thing in their vicinity.



A group of young "mythbusters" got the shock of their lives when they were able to duplicate some of Backster's findings.



ARE YOU SITTING FOR PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP?
Researchers from the Wallacia Development Centre in Australia would like to hear from people who are currently sitting for physical mediumship or have done so in the past thirty years. The aim is to put together a knowledge package so that new "dark circles" can be better informed about what currently does and does not aid development. Any information about conditions, number of sitters, time and duration of sitting, and outcomes (or lack of outcomes) would be very welcome. We want to hear your stories. Anonymity can be guaranteed if requested and you will be included in the distribution of this invaluable information.

SILENT NO MORE
People often experience communications from the dead, but many have been reluctant to discuss them for fear of being judged. This video was created by the Forever Family Foundation to encourage people to learn about the evidence and share their experiences. When we all share what we know, we will grieve less and lead richer and fuller lives.

Global Gathering:
Our guest this week is out-of-body explorer Jurgen Ziewe who will talk about his new book Elysium Unveiled and his other projects. Jurgen spent hundreds of hours in full waking consciousness in what is widely regarded as our Afterlife world. Sometimes, these experiences lasted several hours, allowing Jurgen to discover how this world is constructed. This book is the offshoot and probably the only work that combines written reports of the afterlife with dramatic and captivating images, a first-of-its-kind, almost photo-realistic renderings achieved with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

"THE UNRAVELLING - THRIVING IN A CHANGING WORLD"
"Currently, old paradigms are breaking down, people are waking up, and they don’t like what has been created while they slept. This is the first step of shifting consciousness --waking up.

CONGRATULATIONS, you are officially a part of the shift! The experiences of the world have filtered into your little box. You can no longer ignore the plight of your brothers and sisters. As the unraveling continues, you will begin to understand that freedom and justice for all is what you are also seeking for yourself.

We realize the task ahead seems daunting. We remind you that any step you take to move away from the world built upon fear and separation will begin to tear away at the fabric of your life. Know that you are not alone in your quest. Your brothers and sisters all across the world are experiencing the shift with you. Be gentle with yourself and with others."



DIRECTLY FROM THE AFTERLIFE
“You will all live after you have ‘died’, and you will not realize until then what it is to live or to feel the real glory of life untrammeled, free to rejoice in liberty of spirit which your imprisoned souls cannot understand today … all the experiences which you like least of all - the sadness, the bitterness, the tears, the disappointments, the suffering and the pain - these are very valuable for your souls …But you cannot realize that at the time. It is only when you can look back on the whole, and not judge by the part, that you can get a clear picture of the value of life. Through all your adversities the character is tried. Through tears and sorrow the soul is strengthened … How very simple are these great truths, so simple that they are beyond many of your intellectuals!". (Light from Silver Birch p. 69).



FEEDBACK: (3 only)

1) "Always filled with gratitude for these ongoing reports that give so much evidence of life after the physical life on earth. Our consciousness never dies it is eternal. Thank you for another great report". Marion

2) "I have found William Buhlman's books so very inspiring - and easy to read too. Plus so helpful in sharing techniques so that we can experience the astral and get our own personal evidence for ourselves". Louisa

3) "Thank you, Victor and Wendy! I never, ever tire of hearing that our most precious loved ones are alive and well and waiting for us to fully reunite with them! PS Thank you for featuring our group in this week’s Friday Afterlife Report." Mary Beth Spann Mank


HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: FABULOUS CELTIC WOMAN MUSIC: Musically just indescribable; visually absolutely stunning - sweet and nostalgic"Fields of Gold". Make your day to-day!
