COMMENTARY: WHAT IS THE BEST EVIDENCE THAT THE AFTERLIFE EXISTS?
In our opinion, the best evidence for the afterlife is the evidence that you experience personally when you need it most. For some people, it's lights flashing on and off on request, or a coin left where you know that there was nothing. Most frequently, it's a dream or a vision between sleeping and waking where the loved one appears looking younger and radiant and tells you that they are fine.
For many, it's a reading with an evidential medium who is able to bring through details that nobody else could know. Sometimes the loved ones in spirit can slow down their vibrations so that they can be directly sensed by you directly without a medium. For a few precious seconds, you may receive the touch of a hand, a hug, or the smell of their aftershave. You may even be fortunate enough to see them briefly.
Much more rare are reunions through physical mediumship, a gift so rare that most people have never heard of it. Michael Tymn described the experience that John King, a Toronto physician, had in a sitting with Joseph Jonson, a physical medium from Toledo, Ohio. King reported 19 separate materialisations in one night. He observed spirits coming from the materialization cabinet, greeting loved ones, embracing them, talking with them, etc. His deceased wife, May, was the eleventh to materialize. She embraced him, spoke to him about personal matters, and dematerialized right into the floor in front of him. (Read more details in Michael Tymn's article).
While having a reunion through a physical medium is an incredibly rare event today, spirits seem to be devising other ways to make their presence felt. A huge number of people are having reunions through near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, electronic voice phenomena (EVP), instrumental transcommunication (ITC), and guided and self-guided afterlife connections.
ERIC ZIMMERMAN - "BEYOND CHANCE"
In some cases, particularly soon after a person has transitioned, they are can appear to a loved one and comfort them. In this case, Fred & Marilyn Zimmerman heard, saw, and felt their police officer son, Eric, soon after he was killed. Later they were able to confirm what they had experienced in a comforting detailed reading with well-known medium George Anderson. Similar experiences have been recorded by: Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Dr. Raymond Moody, and J.B. Phillips
A COLLECTION OF ADC CASES
The After Death Communication Research Foundation conducted by Jody Long and Dr. Jeff Long asks people to send in, through the Internet, details of their after-death communication. It contains more than 1800 recent cases from all over the world. It also has information about grief and life after death.
MOTHER HAS AMAZING INTERACTIONS WITH HER CHILDREN IN SPIRIT
Susanne Wilson interviews
Elizabeth Veney Boisson, President and Co-founder of Helping Parents Heal, author, wife and mother of four who has two of her children living in spirit. Elizabeth shares amazing stories that show love lives forever.
VALIDATING AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATIONS
In one study of 1,667 after-death communications by the researcher Dr. Ken R. Vincent, around a fifth were found to be “evidential”, with three different types of evidence.
First, there were experiences in which a person sensed or saw (often in a dream) the death of a person and found out shortly afterward that they had died.
Second, some experiences provided evidence that was later confirmed.
Thirdly, Vincent found that in some cases the experiences happened to more than one person. Read more.
AVIATORS AND THE AFTERLIFE- A DOCUMENTARY BY DR. KEITH PARSONS This 51st documentary from Plausible Pictures features afterlife communications from nine deceased people, seven of whom were pilots in the First and Second World Wars. Two of the main characters featured here were not flyers themselves: the RAF's Sir Hugh Dowding, Air Chief Marshall of Fighter Command in the Battle of Britain; and Leslie Flint the most tested and successful direct-voice medium that Britain has ever produced.
CLAUDE'S BOOK
The first source mentioned in Keith Parsons' video (above) was Claude
Kelway-Bamber's "Claude's Book" which came from the deceased Claude's conversations with his mother through one of the most tested trance mediums that ever lived, Mrs. Osborne Leonard. It is a fascinating book that begins with Claude waking up in a hospital ward in the Afterlife and then being taken to visit his mother where he stands at the end of her bed. It goes on to describe many aspects of the Spirit World - a bit like the well-known Life in the World Unseen.
One interesting thing is that Claude supported the reality of reincarnation at a time (1919) when most English Spiritualists were opposed to it. Download the book in PDF.
WHAT IS A HOME CIRCLE? Home circles or "development circles" are the traditional way that "the gifts of the spirit" are developed in Spiritualism. A group of between 6 and 8 people meet weekly and sit together in a circle, usually in total darkness, in a small room with very little furniture, for about an hour. They chat quietly, sing together or sometimes sit and listen to music. Sometimes they communicate with spirit using table tipping. Neal Rzepkowski, MD, the leader of The Harmonic Fellowship of Light circle a spiritual development circle in Lily Dale, New York, is featured in the video below showing table tipping in fully light.
HOW TO DEVELOP A HOME CIRCLE
"The critical thing is to choose people who are in total harmony with each other and who share a common motivation to develop spiritually and help others. They must be extremely patient and willing to put the circle first - before holidays, outings, or other commitments. Never allow skepticism, fear, or negativity to enter your mind. Assume there will be positive results. Always start with a prayer for protection and finish with a prayer of thanks. When you create conditions for the spirit to make contact, you will be contacted in some way or another. Whether you sit in light or in the dark, all participants must be sincere in making contact for service". Read John Butler's guide to running a direct voice circle.
If you are part of a home circle, either current or past, we would love to hear from you for a research project aiming to help new circles develop.

"LIFE AFTER DEATH-LIVING PROOF" BY TOM HARRISON
Tom Harrison's mother, Minnie Harrison, was a
brilliant physical medium for her family home circle. On Saturday nights between 1946 and 1958 the family would gather while
Minnie would go into trance and allow her sister, Aunt Agg, and many others to materialise. For many years Tom travelled around the U.K. giving talks about the wonders he had seen which he finally recorded in his book "Life After Death - Living Proof".
ANN HARRISON TALKS ABOUT TOM'S BOOK
For seventeen years Ann Harrison travelled with her husband Tom Harrison, assisting him with his talks and sitting with a number of physical mediumship circles. Ann is now the publisher of several brilliant books on physical mediums
through Saturday Night Press Publications.

INCREDIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION GIVES HOPE!
An incredible transformation has been taking place over the last 25 years in one of the hottest and driest places on earth. On this 11-acre piece of land, 3,000 species of plants and trees from all over the world have been intentionally planted from seed creating an abundant food forest and farm. And it's all because of a world-renowned botanist Gabriel Howearth and her family who have worked tirelessly to turn what was once a dusty cattle ranch into a tropical oasis in the desert.
A CHANNELLED MESSAGE FROM EILEEN CADDY- BE A LIGHT BEARER
"Never sit back and say the world is in an awful mess, the country is in an awful mess but there is nothing much you as an individual can do to help the situation.
There is a tremendous amount each individual can do to help the whole situation. With love in your hearts and a complete surrendering of yourselves to Me to use you as I will, I can use you as channels to do much to help many souls that are floundering around in darkness.
When you sit in peace and stillness together each day you become a tremendous power as the vibrations are raised and you open yourselves up and allow Me to use you to channel My divine Love and Light out into the world and into the lives of individuals. You feel the tremendous linking up of all the forces of Light all over the world. You feel the links becoming stronger every day. You are My Light bearers.'
~ guidance received by Eileen Caddy

1) "Thank you for promoting Stan’s memoirs. One of the best interviews I’ve ever heard with Stan was by Dr. Scott Hoye." Jean Fox
2)
"I have been too wrapped up in the physical world lately and I pay a price for it. Everything is so much easier here when I am conscious of this truth and in touch with God, my guides, angels, and Loved ones in Spirit. Thank you for the reminder."
David

"All that is of matter, doesn't matter. All that is not of matter love, compassion, understanding etc. is what really matters." Samuel
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: 'TO WHERE YOU ARE' In 2001, Josh Groban guest-starred on two episodes of the Fox television drama Ally McBeal. In his second appearance he performed "To Where You Are" written by Richard Marx and Linda Thompson, at a church service. The song played a crucial role in the early success of Josh Groban’s career allowing him to establish himself as a major artist in the music industry. The song remains a staple in his live performances and continues to be adored by his fans. In the years since, it has given comfort and inspiration to millions.
