COMMENTARY: IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME FOR GRATITUDE Our thoughts are with all our friends, family and subscribers in the United States and elsewhere who may be celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend.
Many of us may find that this year's holidays feel different after all that the last five years have thrown at us. So let's be gentle with ourselves and realise that even though some things have changed, we are all still richly blessed.
And above all, let us be incredibly grateful for the certainty that love never dies, and that this life is just a brief episode in a continuing story. Happy Thanksgiving.
CHRISTIAN SUNDBERG ON "SOUL EXPLORERS"
Christian Sundberg says "I knew in my pre-birth experience that being given a chance to play a human was like being given a million dollar lottery ticket. That's how beautifully rare and powerful it was because the leverage opportunity here is so high and to play a human during the Awakening is the coolest craziest thing." Check out Christian's beautiful book, A Walk in the Physical. It is available free to read online.
HOW GRATEFULNESS WORKS: HANS WILHELM
Hans explains how gratefulness raises our vibration and counteracts the negative influences around us. In short, it is a simple but powerful tool for happiness. For more videos go to www.LIFEexplained.com
BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT Leading U.K. barrister Maria Ahern writes in her foreword to Gordon Smith's 2018 book, Beyond Reasonable Doubt,
"I have assessed the evidence in this book. Just as I would in a trial. There is credible evidence from various unconnected sources all giving evidence that points the same way. The evidence has been collated by a credible source; Gordon Smith is widely acknowledged as a gifted medium and has provided many with evidence of one of life's great unanswered questions". She advises the reader: "Look at the evidence, assess it fairly, allow for any sensible and appropriate doubt and reach your verdict".
Like many of us, she agrees that the best way to assess the evidence for the afterlife is to use the same standards we usually use to assess disputes in human affairs - the standards of the law court. Read more.

ALL INDIGENOUS CULTURES KNEW HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRIT " ... If you examine the records of the past, you will find that the more you go back to 'primitive' times, the more natural was the exercise of psychic faculties. But, like all other faculties, they have atrophied through long disuse and the number of those today who can register the vibrations of the spirit is very, very small. You, all of you, are living in prisons. You have five tiny windows to your prison, and these five apertures are your physical senses. You are unaware of the millions of happenings around you unless they can be seen, smelt, touched, tasted, or felt. But because you do not see the busy, teeming, active world around you, that does not mean to say it has no existence. It means only one thing, that you are unable to register its vibrations..." p.117 The Seed of Truth - Silver Birch.

NDE BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED
Lani Leary, Ph.D., author of No One Has To Die Alone: Preparing for a Meaningful Death, describes the Near-Death Experience in which she learned that her loved ones had always been near her and knew every detail of her life.
SUSANNE WILSON INTERVIEWS THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR Col. John B. Alexander, Ph.D is the world's leading authority on non-lethal weapons since creating renewed interest in the topic in the late 1980s. His contact list is a "who's who" of the O.G. [original] remote viewers, near-death experience researchers, ufologists, and consciousness researchers.
He has explored all eight continents and studied with indigenous shamans for decades. He entered the US Army as a private in 1956 and rose through the ranks to sergeant first class, attended OCS, and was a colonel of Infantry in 1988 when he retired. After retirement he joined Los Alamos Nationality Laboratory, where Oppenheimer worked on the atomic bomb.
Of his many adventures, a highlight was diving with great white sharks off Isle de Guadalupe, Mexico, and meeting with shamans in remote Kyrgyzstan and Samarkand, Uzbekistan. He is a rare individual who has briefed the White House staff, CIA Director, members of Congress, and senior Defense officials. Alexander’s doctoral committee was chaired by the legendary Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD. He is a past-president of the International Assn for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), a founding board member of the International Remote Viewing Assn (IRVA), and a three-term council member of the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE).

What If? With Cheryl Page
Cheryl Page is a medical researcher and medium who dares to ask questions about what is possible with mediumship.

HE SAW WHAT HIS PETS WERE DOING IN HEAVEN
John Davis died for 6 minutes and was taken on what seemed like a two hour tour of Heaven. This is his Amazing Near Death Experience (NDE) and testimony of heaven. "As I was standing there I could see two of my dogs and two of my cats running down the hill. And all the animlas play together until their loved ones from Earth cross over."
WISE WORDS FROM SPIRIT "The whole purpose of your life down here is that spirit, your spirit, shall shine within earth’s darkness. Your spirit is identical with the light which shone in the beginning. You, the real you, are here for a purpose, to shine through both body and mind and transmute them". White Eagle Morning Light.
DR. JOE DISPENZA - I AM GRATEFUL
A
guided morning meditation to attract peace, power & prosperity.
FEEDBACK (Three only)
1) "I wanted to thank you for posting that wonderful video about psychomanteums. I've seen many since embarking on this research two weeks ago. This video is one of the best, if not the best." Priscilla
2) "Thank you Victor and Wendy, the vet that I am particularly appreciates the quote from Leslie Flint about the dog being there to meet George." Edouard
3)
Can someone assist Julz who is living in an isolated area with no-one to ask about spiritual matters.
She writes:
"I produced Direct Voice during an OBE back in September 2025. I am wanting to reproduce this in hopes of serving others. I live in the US and I am looking to connect with others that produce Direct Voice. Here is the 1-minute IR video. Class B recording as you may need to turn up the volume. Here is an hour interview explaining the backstory of what was taking place during this time. Most of it anyway.
She wants to know if anyone has heard of Direct Voice and OBE being produced together at the same time? Is what happened different from Direct or Independent Voice? Or of someone being able to speak while having an OBE? If you want to assist please email wendyzammit@gmail.com
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC
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.
Whilst we encourage and publish many papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are not in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims. We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
