COMMENTARY: WHERE DID RELIGIONS GET THEIR INFORMATION ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE? In his book, The Psychic Stream, historian Arthur Findlay argues convincingly that all religions formed their ideas about the afterlife in exactly the same way that we do today: through near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, after-death contacts, transpersonal experiences, and through mediumship. The Bible is full of accounts of psychics, mental and physical mediums often called "prophets".
Today we have the advantage of being able to collect many more accounts of afterlife contact and to confirm them through the processes used to sift evidence. We examine the primary sources and the credibility and reliability of the witnesses. We can triangulate across multiple streams of evidence: NDEs, OBEs, apparitions, clairvoyance and clairaudience, deathbed visions, after-death contacts, mental, trance and direct voice mediumship, past and between-life regressions, materialization and other physical mediumship, electronic voice phenomena, Instrumental Trans-Communication, automatic writing mediumship and xenoglossy.
Unfortunately, we are unable to do that with the sources from which religions claim to get their information. All we have are fragments of very old documents, the originals of which are lost in the mists of time. We are also unable to place many of the writings in their full context since the original teachings have been lost or distorted through (sometimes deliberate) mistranslations.
DR. ROBERT CROOKALL GEOLOGIST AND AFTERLIFE SCIENTIST In the 1950s, well before the Internet, Robert Crookall pioneered the work of meshing together the evidence for the afterlife from widely different sources. He searched the world for accounts of out-of-body experiences (including many we now call near-death experiences). At the same time, he collected hundreds of accounts from mediums of what people said happened to them immediately after death. His sources included books from many different cultures, in many languages. Astonishingly, all the descriptions match, regardless of culture, language, or time period. According to Dr. Crookall, the only explanations for his finding are: (1) there has been a worldwide conspiracy by thousands of mediums the world over, going back many centuries, if not millennia, to always make sure they describe the same experiences, or (2), the experiences reported in the many books quoted really took place. Read more about his books. and see these video overviews of Interpretations of Cosmic and Mystical Experiences and his Astral Projections and OBEs.
THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE OF JANE THOMPSONJane Thompson explains how her near-death experience happened, and how she began to doubt her experiences when those she trusted refused to acknowledge what she was sharing. Once she recovered, she realised that she had become super-sensitive and had become a different person. She could no longer talk to the people in her life and could not cope with the competitive business world. Instead, she found peace in hospice work and healing.
THE GREATEST SKEPTIC IN THE WORLD CONCEDED HE WAS WRONG
The greatest skeptic in the world was Dr. Richard Hodgson who had a powerful reputation for denouncing all the mediums he investigated. He ruined the reputation of the founder of Theosophy, Helena Blavatsky, and ridiculed the great Eusapia Paladino. But when it came to investigating Mrs. Leonora Piper, the greatest trance medium in the world, he was beaten. Dr. Hodgson reported to the Society for Psychical Research in England:
"I cannot profess to have any doubt but that the chief communicators are veritably the personalities that they claim to be - that they have survived the change we call death, and that they have directly communicated with us."
OBE AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: WILLIAM BUHLMAN AT THE MONROE INSTITUTE
A very important talk. What have we learned from 40 years of documented NDEs and OBEs? What hinders the spiritual evolution of humanity? What does it take to be truly free? Consummate consciousness explorer William Buhlman asks the big questions and shares what he has discovered through personal experience.
EVERY SOUL WHO LEARNS THE TRUTH ADVANCES THE WORLD “Each soul that becomes an instrument for the Great Spirit, each soul that moves out of darkness into the light, out of ignorance into knowledge, out of superstition into truth, is helping to advance the world, for each one of these is a nail that is driven into the coffin of the world’s materialism.” Silver Birch.
THE SOUL BEFORE BIRTH: A DOCUMENTARY ON PRE-BIRTH MEMORIES Following the widespread sharing of near-death experiences, a small but growing bumber of people are sharing their memories of life immediately prior to being born. Here are accounts by Henrik Ryosa, Melissa Denyce, and Sandy Briggs.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A VOICE THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE? While driving early one morning, Bill Bennett heard a voice that told him to slow down. He was approaching an intersection, he slowed down, and a huge truck ran a red light, missing him by inches. If not for that voice, Bill would have been killed. He was determined to find out what that voice was, so he spent three years traveling the world interviewing experts on intuition, spanning the fields of science, religion and spirituality. The result has been a book and an 83-minute movie shot around the world called PGS – our Personal Guidance System. It is available to rent or buy online. Read more.
ALLISON DUBOIS DOES A READING FOR A MOM WHOSE SON WAS MURDERED Allison talks with Lana from Indiana and helps her to reconnect with her son Zack. He provides the messages that she needs to make sense of what happened to him. He talks about "messing with the lights" and gives uplifting messages for his sisters. A key message is "If you love him enough to die for him, you have to love him enough to live for him."
SPIRIT GREETERS SEEN BY OTHERS In all cultures, people who are dying start talking to loved ones who have already died. Sometimes they say that they can see beautiful places in the spirit world and hear beautiful music. There are many cases on record with the Society of Psychical Research where the spirit visitors were seen by others at the bedside of the dying person, sometimes by several persons at the same time. Read more.
THE RED CHAIR: WHEN TRADITIONAL PSYCHIATRY IS NOT ENOUGH Dr. John Webber writes: "eight years ago that I was exposed to the evidence supporting reincarnation, life after death, and consciousness existing beyond our bodies. My engagement with this knowledge led to a very new perspective on who we really are and opened up my way of thinking. This expansion in thinking has come as a surprise to those who know me best". His book "The Red Chair" is a fascinating story of his gradual discovery of the afterlife.
HEATHER'S
BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION AT THE END OF A PAST LIFE REGRESSION Thanks to Dr. John Webber for sharing this exquisite reaction from one of his clients.
"I'm no longer restricted in a small body. I feel like I’ve expanded………I feel light…… I keep thinking of forgiveness - of me and everyone.
I feel like I can celebrate, and celebrate that life.
I feel loved.
The love is overwhelming - there are so many beings - the love is overwhelming.
Everything is as it should be. No one is doing anything wrong.
What we don’t understand is that we are perfect as we are. I feel like it’s so clear.“

QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENS TO INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE IN THE AFTERLIFE? Many gifted mediums had native American guides. Maurice
Barbanell, the great English medium said, "North
American Native Indians were great MASTERS OF PSYCHIC
LAWS, with a most profound knowledge of supernormal
forces and how they operated. This qualifies them, after
their passing, to act as tutors and guides to their
mediums. They were more advanced than any other race."
Estelle Roberts worked with Red Cloud; Maurice Barbanell
worked with Silver Birch; Kathleen Barkel worked with
White Hawk; Gladys Leonard worked with North Star and
John Sloan worked with White Feather, to name just a
few.
