COMMENTARY: THE GIFT OF GRATITUDE Psychologists and practitioners of mindfulness
tell us that cultivating the habit of gratitude is one of the fastest ways of improving our mood, our relationships, our health, and our ability to cope with stress and adversity. It strengthens family and social bonds, fosters a positive work environment, improves job satisfaction, increases employee engagement, and reduces stress. Employees who receive gratitude from their supervisors are more likely to feel valued and satisfied in their roles.
But the benefits don't stop there.
Gratitude is a gift that gives twice - it blesses the giver and the receiver. A thankful heart is one of the few things we can take with us when we transition.
We are told by out-of-body explorers, spiritual teachers, and by people reporting from the afterlife through mediums that the conditions we find ourselves in when we die are exponentially better for those who make an effort to cultivate an attitude of generosity and positivity - and gratitude is fundamental to that.

HOW GRATEFULNESS WORKS: HANS WILHELM
A simple but powerful explanation of how this tool for happiness works. For more videos from Hans Wilhelm go to www.LIFEexplained.com
THE DAY IS FAST APPROACHING "Neither was it intended that the two worlds, ours and yours, should be as they are now—so far apart in thought and contact. The day will assuredly come when our two worlds will be closely interrelated when communication between the two will be a commonplace of life, and then the great wealth of resources of the spirit world will be open to the Earth world, to draw upon for the benefit of the whole human race."
Former priest, Monseigneur Hugh Benson through medium Anthony Borgia in
"Life in the World Unseen".
NAVY DIVER DROWNS: LEARNS ABOUT GRATITUDE AND LIFE PURPOSE
David Bennett shares the story of his Near-Death Experience. He drowned during a severe storm off the California coast in 1983 while acting as chief engineer aboard the navy research vessel "Aloha." Later he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and by applying the lesson of gratitude that he had learned in his life review he survived. As he says in his book, "If you’re going to be grateful, you’ve gotta be grateful for All of Life”
DO YOU WORK IN THE AFTERLIFE WHILE YOU SLEEP?
Afterlife researchers have known for many years that when we sleep we frequently visit the astral world.
Dr. Robert Crookall in "The Supreme Adventure" claims,
"Suitable mortals, and especially potential psychics, cooperate with certain discarnate souls in helping other mortals, the dying, the newly-dead and those long-dead who are delayed in "Hades" conditions".
See Statement No. 30 in The Supreme Adventure.
Silver Birch confirms this.
"Some of you do work, because there are many that you can help in your sleep state. But usually, it is a preparation. You are taken to those places which will help you to be ready for your work when you leave the world of matter. If that were not done, the shock of coming from one sphere of expression to another would be so great that it would take you a long time to recover."

SOUL RETRIEVALS AND BEACONS OF LIGHT
Out-of-body experiencers Mike Marable and Jurgen Ziewe
talk about helping souls in the lower astral levels, the twilight areas, where the energy is low and people are often desperate to move onto a higher level, but do not know how to do so.
MIKE MARABLE'S "HOW TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE AFTER YOU'RE DEAD" This is a no-nonsense, credible account from someone who has spent thirty-five years helping those who were unprepared for the greatest journey of their lives. He is now sharing what he has learned about how to prepare for a “good death” and how to navigate post-physical life to ensure your best possible outcomes. This is a unique guidebook that you will want to keep to read and re-read, soaking in all the detail. It is also a book that you will want to share with friends and family. Read more.
A FIRST LOOK AT JURGEN ZIEWE'S MAGNIFICENT NEW BOOK Jurgen Ziewe has gifted the world with "Multidimensional Man" and "Vistas of Infinity", two books taken from his diaries of more than forty-five years of out-of-body experiences in full waking consciousness. Because Jurgen is an artist he has been able to capture the magnificence of the higher realms that he has accessed in his third book on his astral travels, "Elysium Unveiled, A Visual Odyssey of Life Eternal"
The new book will be released on the first of December, 2023, just in time to make a stunning Christmas present.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?
"Death is as easy and as simple as going to sleep and then awakening. Our etheric-spirit body slips out of the physical body, carrying the mind with it, and we awake to our new surroundings to find our friends and relations ready to help and instruct us in our new life. Death is simply the severance of this etheric-spirit body from the physical body. The physical (dead) body returns to earth, and the etheric-spirit body, controlled by the mind, continues to function in the afterlife ... We, therefore, continue to exist as separate thinking units in the afterlife etheric world, much as we do today here on earth, but with new surroundings ..." (From the great psychic historian Arthur Findlay's classic On the Edge of the Etheric.)
END OF LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH JULIE BEISCHEL PH.D. AND ADAM RIZVI M.D.
Julie talks with Adam Rizvi, MD, Clinical Advisory Board Member, neurologist and neurointensivist. Having been at the bedside of nearly 1,000 patients at the moment that they passed away, Dr. Rizvi has extensive experience with this transition and wishes that people took more time to consider that we’ll all be there someday. At 22 minutes he outlines his personal spiritual practice to remove the fear of death.

INCLUDE YOUR ABSENT LOVED ONES IN YOUR HOLIDAY
Sheri Perl, creator of 'The Prayer Registry' has this advice for those whose loved ones have recently transitioned. "On holidays and special occasions, set a place at the table or remember to make a toast to this person. Acknowledge the elephant in the room by bringing it right out into the open. If you're not afraid to talk about your loved one, friends and family won't be either. And if they are, at least you are setting the right example by putting your loved one front and centre."
She quotes Raymond, son of Sir Oliver Lodge, who died in World War I: "Father, tell mother she has her son with her all day on Christmas Day. There will be thousands of us back in our homes on that day, but the horrid part is that so many of the fellows don't get welcomed. Please keep a place for me."

"We could say there is probably little we don't know about a great many aspects of life after death, other than the obvious one -exactly what its like to be there. But I know one author/channeller who got close. That's the Rev George Vale Owen. There are five volumes that I edited to change the archaic words, and produced pdfs, kindles and books". Geoff.

3) "I kindly ask you for permission to translate as a volunteer some of your great articles into Romanian and German, posting and promoting them among my tribe, here in Europe. No monetization. I think, the more people would come in contact with the consistent evidence for Survival in your Newsletter, the better for the awakening of humanity. More than ever, your work should be accessible to every human being on planet earth." Grig
GRATEFUL - A LOVE SONG TO THE WORLD
Musicians Nimo Patel and Daniel Nahmod brought together dozens of people from around the world to create this beautiful, heart-opening hip-hop presentation. Inspired by the 21-Day Gratitude Challenge, the song is a celebration of our spirit and all that is a blessing in life. For the 21 Days, over 11,000 participants from 118 countries learned that "gratefulness" is a habit cultivated consciously and a muscle built over time.
