COMMENTARY: SHOULD I TELL FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE?
One problem that confronts people who have recently discovered the existence of the afterlife, is that when they try to share their discoveries with family members or close friends they expect them to be just as excited as they are. This is particularly difficult for those who have had a great mediumship reading or a profound all-consuming transformative experience like a Near-Death Experience.
Those whose family members are ready to share or listen and join them in a journey of discovery are extremely fortunate; it can be very destabilizing to have loved ones who are skeptical or indifferent.
Timing is everything when it comes to spiritual growth and people will only show interest when the time is right for them. Do tell them as much as they can accept and let them know that you are open to them talking about their own experiences. In the meantime try quietly living your truth and letting the peace and happiness you feel radiate so that those around you will want a bit of what you're having. Read Nine Ways you Can Help Others to Awaken to Consciousness.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE - FROM 2,000 NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
After studying over 2,000 Near-Death Experiences, David Suich reveals a shocking truth: despite different beliefs, cultures, and backgrounds, people consistently report the same core experiences—unconditional love, expanded awareness, and the realization that “we are part of something greater.” And this journey isn’t just about death—it’s about life. From years of chronic pain and losing faith to discovering profound spiritual truths through real evidence, David’s story reveals why we come here, what we’re meant to learn, and why humanity may be on the brink of a massive awakening. If you’ve ever questioned the meaning of life… this conversation will hit deep.

QUANTUM PHYSICS AND THE AFTERLIFE: IS THERE CONSCIOUSNESS IN SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES?
Rather than being lifeless matter, subatomic particles are being revealed as having CONSCIOUSNESS. In 'The Holographc Universe' (1991)
Michael Talbot described an experiment by Aspect, Dalibard, and Roger in 1982 that he predicted will be the most important experiment of the twentieth century:
"Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them."
Like Talbot, University of London physicist David Bohm believed Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist and that despite its apparent solidity, the universe is fundamentally a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram. Consciousness in the sub-atomic particles transforms the physical to the spiritual and has huge implications for the existence of 'God', spirituality and the afterlife.
DAVID FONTANA TALKS ABOUT INVESTIGATING MATERIALIZATION
In his monumental book “Is there an Afterlife” respected psychic investigator David Fontana describes how he saw and felt fully formed hands during the Scole experiments (see pp. 324-347). Here he describes more of his experiences.
LAWYER IDENTIFIES JUDGE'S VOICE
Dr. Aubrey Rose, OBE, CBE, a highly respected senior lawyer in England, attended many sittings with Leslie Flint, a direct voice medium. He claims that through Flint he received “the most detailed evidence of survival of the individual beyond this life.” In his autobiography 'The Rainbow Never Ends' he states that his investigation into the afterlife began when he heard a tape recording of a voice he recognized as that of a deceased Judge, Lord Birkett, speaking through Leslie Flint. Listen to that recording here. Dr. Rose became a close friend of Leslie Flint and went on to become a spiritual healer himself.

CONTACT DREAMS
Dream communication is the most frequently reported method of after-death communication. Researchers in cross-cultural studies found that about half of all reported spontaneous psychic experiences occurred in dreams. Unlike normal dreams, contact dreams don’t fade with time. They are incredibly vivid and you will be able to remember details even years later. The person who has died usually looks much younger and in perfect health. They are smiling and telling you that they are fine and happy. They tell you that they did not suffer during their passing and that they are with family members. You may wake up with a feeling that they have hugged and kissed you. Some contain evidence that suggests it was more than just a dream. Read more about after-death contacts.
AFTER-DEATH CONTACT FROM A SON
Fred Zimmerman had a terrible premonition that his son, Eric, was going to die. A few weeks later, his wife, Marilyn, awoke in the middle of the night at the very moment that Eric was killed. In the years following they had numerous signs from Eric, including seeing and hugging him. A reading from medium George Anderson confirmed their experiences.
ANITA MOORJANI: WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW
Great talk about nurturing yourself and setting boundaries as a way of preventing illness.
WHAT PEOPLE SEE RIGHT BEFORE DEATH
In this conversation, Dr. Christopher Kerr end-of-life researcher explains:
What happens in the brain during the dying process, deathbed visions and why they’re often misunderstood, why people begin seeing deceased loved ones, the connection between science, consciousness, and spirituality, and how these experiences shape grief for those left behind.

GLOBAL GATHERING: Born in Cootamundra NSW, our guest, Donna Young, is an Australian psychic medium, author and spiritual teacher who has been channelling since a child. Having an extraordinarily strong connection with her guide from the age of four, her knowledge was enhanced through a near-death experience. At the age of 16 Donna was diagnosed with last stage cancer and a cerebral thrombosis. She visited the other side on several occasions where she learned about past lives, and the process of life. At the time, her family were advised to say their goodbyes.
Through Donna’s connection with spirit and guidance from the other side, she awoke to a full recovery. Due to the illness, Donna was advised she could never have children. She now enjoys every day with her three beautiful children and a grandson.

YOU SHOULD LIVE IN THE SUNLIGHT OF THIS KNOWLEDGE
"The people in your world have, with very few exceptions, not yet begun to live. They are expressing only infinitesimal portions of the power which is resident with them. In supreme moments of crisis or emergency they call on that extraordinary power and it gives them added strength, added courage, added wisdom.
But that power can be tapped all the time. It can give you health to master disease, direction in times of uncertainty, guidance when you are perplexed, strength when you are weary and vision when you are blind. It is there for you to express it".
He goes on to say that although we say that we are part of the Great Power and know that we are eternal, too many of us are crippled by fear and forget who we are.
"Why is fear essential when you know what you are and can be? No, fear is wrong, for fear makes you afraid and you should not be afraid. You should live in the sunlight of knowledge based on the confidence that you are eternal spirits and nothing can hurt or damage for ever the eternity which is yours". Silver Birch Anthology pp.94-95.
