COMMENTARY: THE AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE MARATHON
Thanks to the courage and dedication of hundreds of thousands of wonderful people, both living and discarnate, we now have wonderful evidence for the afterlife. This has been a super-marathon effort for more than 150 years.
We are so grateful for the dedication of the spirit teams and for the circles who sat faithfully every week for years to help develop brilliant mediums. We applaud the EVP and ITC pioneers who spent years listening through headphones waiting for a single voice. We salute the pioneers like Dr. Ian Stevenson who trekked through remote villages recording stories of reincarnated children. And then there are the doctors and nurses who collated the experiences of the dying and of those who came back from a near-death experience.
To make an impact, the evidence needed to be shared, and here we have to thank the courageous pioneer writers and investigators like Alan Kardec, Sir William Crookes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Arthur Findlay. There were wonderful mediums, healers, and inspirational speakers who gave demonstrations to thousands. These pioneers took a stand against ignorance and fear, against atheist skepticism and repressive religion that sought to keep our souls playing small.
More recently we have all the mediums, group leaders, authors, musicians, filmmakers, bloggers, podcasters, and media people who are taking the message to the multitudes despite sometimes intense opposition.
As Silver Birch says,
“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.”
43 SCIENTISTS INSIST THE AFTERLIFE IS A REALITY
This is the fourth of four videos with evidence of life after death from 15 areas of verified data. This video presents the statements by 43 renowned professionals in science, the arts, and theology that they have studied the evidence for the afterlife and have concluded that we continue to live after the body dies.
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."
THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE OF JANE THOMPSON Jane 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.
OBES 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.
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 and slowed down; 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.

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."

"AN AMERICAN IN HEAVEN" Gordon Phinn writes books about the afterlife based on his observations from frequent out-of-body experiences. "An American In Heaven" is a fun little novel about a college-age woman in the afterlife. She lives in a college town set up for young dead people like her who were really looking forward to leaving home for college when they died. The afterlife is like that: they cater to your needs and frustrated desires. Here are the first two chapters. Read more.

VICTOR TALKS WITH SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE On November 20th, 2010 an energy claiming to be Sir Arthur Conan Doyle- author of The History of Spiritualism Volume 1 and Volume II and a great champion of afterlife investigation, materialised through the physical mediumship of David Thompson in a home circle. He claimed that he is working with Victor from the afterlife - and said "We are cut from the same cloth".

Life with Ghosts Zoom Chat - with filmmaker Stephen Berkley A monthly group meets on the First Monday of the month at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
Special Guest this month: Death Walker Ash Canty.
An opportunity to discuss all things related to after-death communication as a means of healing grief.
Note: Stephen Berkley recently appeared in a TED talk video called "Talking to the Dead is Doctor Recommended". However he writes "I am disappointed that it’s unlisted on their YouTube channel, but hopefully their reluctance to share scientific research with the world will incentivize our friends and colleagues to double down on their efforts to spread it grass-roots style".
Some of our subscribers will remember that there was a huge outcry in 2013 when TED did a similar thing to Rupert Sheldrake and to Graham Hancock.

ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR BRENT ATWATER ON ORBS AND PET SPIRITS
WISE WORDS FROM A GUIDE “I am not interested in what you say your religion is... I am only interested in what compassion you reveal to those in pain, how well you listen, what truth you live by, what gentleness you show, what love you convey, and above all, what service you render. These are the qualities of an evolved soul and the only things that truly matter.”

SCOTT NEESON OF THE CAMBODIAN CHILDREN'S FUND
From a working-class upbringing in Adelaide, Australia, Scott Neeson built a career as a top Hollywood movie executive, promoting blockbusters such as Titanic, Braveheart, Independence Day, and X-Men. It was a glamorous lifestyle, walking red carpets, partying with celebrities, and dating models. But after a holiday in Cambodia, Neeson made a deliberate choice to give it all up. Instead, he is using the skills he developed in marketing films to raise money to help some of Cambodia's poorest children with his Cambodian Children's Fund. And he has never been happier.
