COMMENTARY: NOW MORE THAN EVER THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE.
Would it make any difference if all people understood the real nature of the afterlife? We hope that it would/will make a big difference! We only need to look at the life-changing effects of Near-Death Experiences on those who have them to get some idea of how transformative such knowledge can be.
1) First and foremost it would reduce the hopeless and helpless grief that comes from the false belief that we will never see our loved ones again after they die.
2) It would take away the needless fear of death, judgment, and hellfire.
3) It would take away the hostility between different religions and help people to realise that there are many paths to spiritual growth.
4) Once we realise that qualities like unselfishness, compassion, gentleness, and kindness prepare people best for the afterlife, our society will come to value and nurture these qualities and transform the world.
5) It would automatically reduce the work of the many millions of wonderful souls in the afterlife who have to counsel the uninformed on crossing over.
AL SULLIVAN SAW HIS SURGEON FLAPPING HIS ARMS
Al Sullivan was a 55-year-old truck driver who was undergoing triple by-pass surgery when he had a powerful NDE that included an encounter with his deceased mother and brother-in-law, who told Al to go back to his to tell one of his neighbors that their son with lymphoma will be OK. Furthermore, during the NDE, Al accurately noticed that the surgeon operating on him was flapping his arms in an unusual fashion, with his hands in his armpits. Later the surgeon was stunned that Al (who was unconscious) could have seen his idiosyncratic method of keeping his hands sterile while pointing with his elbows.
"THE SCIENCE OF CHANNELING" Helané Wahbeh, director of research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), uses the word "channeling" as an umbrella term to encompass all types of intuition and psychic awareness. Her background as a child is fascinating and she had channelers in her family and was a natural psychic herself. She provides a wealth of physiological studies that provide evidence that channeling is a real phenomenon and insights into how it works and how you can use it yourself to improve your life. She also advises discernment as not all information gained through channeling can be trusted, let alone verified." Read more.
BRILLIANT CHANNELLING PROJECT
The Cosmic Voices mediums Jeanne Love and Regina Ochoa are sharing with us in the Zoom Global Gatherings an incredible project designed to prove life after death. It began after the explosion of NASA's Space Shuttle Challenger in January 1983 which killed all 7 astronauts. The event was watched live by huge numbers of school children because it was part of the teacher-in-space project. In a channeled message through Jeanne Love (see next item) Richard Scobee, the Commander of the Challenger mission, confirms that the project had been planned by the group members BEFORE they had incarnated.
RICHARD SCOBEE SPEAKS THROUGH JEANNE LOVE
0- 6 mins -The meeting is opened by Jeanne Love with a "protection shield" meditation (available separately).
6-37 mins Dan Drasin introduces the film of a very young Jeanne Love in December 1968 channeling Richard Scobee, the Commander of the Space Shuttle Challenger - 11 months after he had died.
37min - 1 hr and 55 mins - Jeanne and Regina share memories of the channeling sessions and answer questions about the personal cost of their involvement in the project.
1 hr and 55 mins - Demonstration of stepping out of the group shield.
DOES SPIRITUAL ADVANCEMENT MAKE END-OF-LIFE TRANSITION EASIER? "The person who has already accomplished a certain amount of purification recovers his/her consciousness almost immediately because the person is already freed from the thralldom of materiality during his-her bodily life; whereas the carnally minded person, whose conscience is not clear, retains the impression of matter for a much longer time." (Spirits' Book, Alan Kardec)
YOU ARE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO YOUR LOST LOVED ONES
This video above promotes the book "Messages- Signs, Visits and Premonitions from Loved Ones lost on 9/11" by Bonnie McEneaney whose husband Eamon, died in the attacks on the World Trade Center. A mother and former business executive, Bonnie was always skeptical of the spiritual world but after talking to a number of other families and friends of loved ones lost on 9/11, she realized she was not alone.
PROFESSOR ECKHARD KRUSE FOLLOWS IN GIANT FOOTSTEPS Professor Eckhard Kruse continues to bring fascinating new technologies into the seance room, producing results that "strongly challenge conventional explanations of fraud or trickery". In so doing he is following in the footsteps of Sir William Crookes, Professor J.W. Crawford, Professor Gustave Geley, Baron (Dr) von Schrenck Notzing, and a dozen or more other distinguished scientists who investigated physical mediums.
WHAT IS PRECIPITATION MEDIUMSHIP? It is an incredibly rare and beautiful form of spirit communication that includes images, writings, and even signatures that “precipitate” out of the ether onto a surface. Colorful pigments (most often supplied by a medium) are reformed by a spirit and laid down intelligently so that the final product has meaning to the recipient or witness. Neither human hands nor physical writing/drawing/painting tools are involved directly in the process of creating this phenomenon. The most famous examples are the incredible painting by the Bangs Sisters. Read more.
MEDIUM GORDON SMITH ON HOW TO LINK WITH YOUR GUIDE
Internationally recognized as one of the world’s leading psychic mediums and admired by his peers, this spiritual teacher, public figure and author has published an impressive number of books about mediumship. Gordon has earned the reputation of being an authentic all-round expert in spiritual awareness and psychic studies.
THE DOUGLAS CONACHER TAPES Douglas and Eira Conacher were a devoted married couple with a publishing business in Central London. They were determined that whoever died first would try to contact the other from the afterlife. Douglas, 20 years older than Eira, died on June 6, 1958. A few months later, Douglas contacted Eira through direct voice medium Leslie Flint. They carried on regular conversations over the next few years and authored two books together about the spirit world with both their names on the cover (see next item). Listen to the conversation recorded on February 6th, 1962 where they talk about spirit guides. Douglas tells Eira about the infinite possibilities that we can experience as we move further away from material conditions.
"THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH" Douglas Conacher described his life beyond the grave through Leslie Flint. He talked about the existence of hospitals, reception areas, the conditions of newly arrived souls, architecture, and the effect that the mind has on colors that are used for architecture. He says that souls need to eat in the lower spheres but as they progress they find food is no longer necessary. Qualifications are required to be a teacher, just as on Earth. The way of life reflects life on Earth until one gradually becomes more developed and moves toward higher spheres. There is gardening in the afterlife and flowers grow as high as trees. People sow, plant, and reap in natural soil. He describes the extraordinary colors, perfumes, and the auras of flowers. Read more about skills and interests in the afterlife.
SHOULD PEOPLE BE TOLD THAT THEY ARE DYING?
Matthew O’Reilly is a veteran emergency medical technician on Long Island, New York. In this talk, O’Reilly describes what happens when a gravely hurt patient asks him: “Am I going to die?” and talks about the three wishes most frequently expressed by the dying.
HOW TO HAVE A SELF-GUIDED AFTERLIFE CONNECTION
The Self-Guided Afterlife Connection procedure developed by Dr. Craig Hogan is a free training program that will teach you how to enter a state of mind in which afterlife connections can and do occur. They happen in 86% of the people who go through the training. The goal of the training is for you to learn how to enter the state of mind to connect with your loved one at any time, in any place. You won't need the meditation music or guidance provided during the training. When you sense your loved one's presence, you can quiet yourself and have a dialogue with them. Craig will be our guest on next Sunday's Zoom Global Gathering.

THE NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE IN LIFE
As emphasized by the Universal Spiritual
Brother & Sisterhood (USB), given that much of what
happens to each of us may not be the result of our own acts
and actions (SL topic 408), we should always strive to be flexible.
The individual who lacks flexibility, who cannot or will not
adapt to circumstances beyond his or her control—who
cannot or will not “correct what can be corrected,” and
“accept all else gracefully, graciously, gratefully, and
courageously”—often is a loser not just materially but, what
is vastly more tragic, spiritually.
“The storm that fells a thick and mighty
oak may not even bruise the slender reed
flexible enough to bend before its fury”.
The teachings from the USB have been
compiled into the book "Spiritual Light", published by USB
Vision Press.
SILVER BIRCH ON RELIGION “Religion is to serve the Great Spirit by serving His children. Religion has little to do with the conventional ideas of your world. Religion is that which enables the Great Spirit in you to be revealed in your life. Religion is that which increases the tie between you and the Great Spirit and between you and His other children. Religion is that which makes you go out into your world and give service wherever you can. Religion is service, and service is religion." (Silver Birch Anthology Chapter 10).

"I'll Be There"
Over mountains
Over trees
Over oceans
Over seas
Across the desert
I'll be there
In a whisper on the wind
On the smile of a new friend
Just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight
To be with you
'cause I'm on your side
And I still care
I may have died
But I've gone nowhere
Just think of me
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
Over rivers
Over streams
Through wind and rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I'd fly
To be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight
To be with you
I'm on your side
And I still care
I may have died
But I've gone nowhere
Just think of me
And I'll be there
Just think of me
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
Oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me
And I'll be there
