COMMENTARY: ARE YOU WANTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE?
1. As well as the evidence for the afterlife, read material that helps you to understand the big picture, the purpose of life. Video interviews with people who have had near-death and out-of-body experiences can be very helpful. Read what credible spiritual teachers directly from the afterlife have taught us. Highly recommended are all the Silver Birch books. But ask your guides/higher self to lead you to the books/teachers/experiences right for you.
2. Start practicing unselfish service. This is a way to open the heart and get out of your head. This is critically important if you want to raise your vibrations to the level where you will start to experience synchronicities and have your own direct experiences of the afterlife. It is most important to learn that unselfish spiritual activity is hugely more important than just prayer.
3. Take time to meditate, to sit in stillness, or walk in nature. Slow down and spend some time just appreciating beauty. Keep a journal where you can record your dreams and synchronicities.
4. Find
a group of like-minded people who are willing to share personal exeriences, knowledge, and skills.

EVIDENCE-BASED NDEs
This IANDS video features two evidence-based veridical near-death experiences from Stephanie Arnold and Tricia Barker. In a veridical near-death experience, an experiencer reports having perceived things that are later verified as accurate. These cases are especially compelling when the person perceives something that they could not have perceived physically.
CONTACTING THE AFTERLIFE IS LIKE TURNING THE DIAL ON A RADIO Our friends in the spirit world say that contact with the afterlife is a matter of physics—we have to find a common vibrational level as a carrier for communication. We have to raise our vibrational level (See Rachel's suggestions) while those in the afterlife have to learn ways to lower theirs.
OPEN-MINDED PSYCHIATRISTS APOLOGISE FOR THEIR COLLEAGUES
For a long time, mainstream psychiatry regarded experiences of other dimensions as automatically indicating psychiatric illness. Now some are recognising that there is a need to educate everyone that normal, healthy, and well-functioning people can have these experiences.
DR. ANALISE CROSS FINISHES THE TASK SHE WAS ASSIGNED
It took Analise Cross Ph.D. ten years
to publish "Surpassing the Darkness". The supreme being asked her to write about the dilemma of the prevalence of suffering and evil in a universe presumed to be benevolent. This is an important book at a time when many are arguing that "Our world has reached a level of suffering and evil so horrific" that only divine intervention can save it from destruction. Dr. Cross argues that the components of that divine intervention have already begun and are quickening. Access the kindle version.
MR BIGGS DESCRIBES
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE DIED
Listen to a narration about the experiences of Mr Biggs, a spirit who communicated about his passing in his own voice through the direct-voice medium Leslie Flint. He talked about attending his own funeral and being upset that his sister organised it as cheaply as possible; his mother assured him that in a short time, he would have a different perspective. The original recording and transcript are available on the Leslie Flint Foundation website.
PETER RAMSTER'S 10-YEAR INVESTIGATION OF REINCARNATION
Using hypnosis, as well as the spontaneous past-life memories of children, Peter Ramster embarked on a ten-year study of reincarnation that highlights how little we understand about life. He researched facts and took people around the world to the places of their recalled past lives to look for evidence of their memories. The facts were conclusive: they supported the truth of reincarnation and life after death. They give a somewhat Biblical picture of life and its purpose and support the hidden biblical doctrines. His book "The True Teachings of Jesus" tells the story of much of his research and findings. See also the video he made of his Reincarnation Experiments.
DOCTOR DISCOVERED THAT HE SHARED PAST LIVES WITH HIS OFFICE MANAGER
Dr. David Bettenhausen and his office manager Carla Bogni-Kidd were suffering from intense stress over the process of computerising the practice medical records. They began to come into the office early to sit in meditation for 30 minutes before work. David began to get amazing flashes and memories and they both began to get memories of past lives together. They went on to have past-life regression training with Dr. Brian Weiss and now they spread the message of love and kindness and teach holistic approaches to healing. Read more.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE? BY MAURICE BARBANELL
"You must dismiss from your mind the old-fashioned theological idea that, after “death,” there is an undisturbed eternal sleep. There may be, at first, a short time of rest to enable the newly-arrived spirit to adjust himself to his new life. This usually takes a little time. Then he meets those who have preceded him. Families are reunited. Old associations are re-established. Friendships are renewed". Read more in Michael Tymn's article. The book "They Shall Be Comforted" can be purchased here.
DR. MARTHA ATKINS "MORE TO DYING THAN MEETS THE EYE" TED TALK
Those who work with the dying are familiar with patients seeing long-deceased loved ones, angelic beings, and even hearing music and comforting voices as the patient nears death. Deathbed phenomena have been documented in the days, weeks, and months before death since the 1500s. Dr. Martha Atkins claims that deathbed phenomena can bring comfort to patients and caregivers if those involved know what they are experiencing.

We are looking for hospice nurses or doulas who have not already "gone public". If this is you, and you are prepared to share your experiences of end-of-life phenomena in a Zoom interview, email us.

BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL ORATORY FROM WHITE FEATHER, SPIRIT GUIDE OF ROBERT GOODWIN Our spirit teachers tell us that it is important to focus on what we do want rather than on what we don't. This eloquent statement by spirit teacher White Feather is worth reading again.
"Do I dream? Yes, I dream of peace in your world.
I dream of men treating their brothers with love instead of hatred.
I dream of all sentient creatures being afforded dignity, respect, gentleness, kindness, and impunity.
I dream of all races, colours, creeds, and genders working in harmony with each other to create a better standard of living for all, without exception.
I dream of a world where starvation, exploitation, oppression, and greed no longer exist and where every man, woman and child has enough to eat, a roof over their head, and a purpose to rise each morning with a song in their heart and a smile upon their face.
I dream of a world where war is no more and peace reigns supreme. I dream of a world where the emphasis is placed upon true spiritual learning, self-discovery and the unfoldment of the innermost riches of the divine—not the excuse for indoctrination that currently passes for education.
I dream of a world where the ethos is not to work for a system that favours the few, but one that rewards service to the many; where the weak are helped by the strong and the deprived are served by those who have more than enough to give and delight in doing so.
I dream of a world filled with light and truth; where darkness is vanquished and lies are no longer rewarded; where true power rests safely in the hands of the wise and selfless whose only desire is to help others.
I dream of a world in which gentleness is recognised as strength and generosity of spirit is rewarded in every area of life; where service to others is given freely and with a joyous heart; where stillness is encouraged over speed and where there is no race to be run; where the wisdom of silence has replaced the frenetic din of meaningless intellectual discourse and the ear arrests only the simple truths of the infinite; where the wisdom of the heart is listened to, over the mind or its ego.
I dream of men being intoxicated by the wine of happiness and joy, and feeding upon the abundant fruits of true spiritual understanding.
I dream of a world in which death is no longer feared as being the end of all life, but is seen for what it truly is—the doorway to home and the entrance to eternity.
I dream of what could be, becoming reality. I dream of tomorrow and see the roots of its past residing in the soil of this moment, now.
I dream of the exquisite beauty of the divine being realised in the enlightenment of the race, knowing that the plan of the creator is perfect in its conception, implementation and operation.
I dream of all this and I smile to myself. For I know that it will come to pass. This is the dream of thy spirit ambassador, who seeks always to serve".
1) "When I experienced my near-death experience some years ago, I saw exactly what Silver Birch has described. It's where I got a phrase that I now use a lot about the afterlife from 'More physical than physical'. It's the only way I can describe the colour and incredible energy I found myself in." Jo.
2) "I want to thank you for the Afterlife Report which is always so full of wonderful information. I especially appreciated the guided meditation in today's Report. That was Craig Hamilton's "Let Everything Be As It Is." Wonderful meditation!"
3)
"Happy New Year 2025 friends Victor and Wendy. A hug from a distance, I have no words to thank you for your beautiful gift every week. My heart rejoices to be able to acquire the knowledge that other people have experienced." Jose
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC - TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS
You can't beat Glen Campbell's country/Gospel version of this song with its upbeat message. Look out for the fantastic guitar solo by Campbell which shows he was a very talented musician.
Lyrics
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say, you're going the wrong way
You've got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way
You've got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
You've got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets.
