"Bringing light where there is darkness and hope where there is despair."

Last week's report and all previous reports


COMMENTARY: DO WE RETAIN OUR INDIVIDUALITY?
In response to some writers who claim that we simply merge into the greater consciousness on death or that everything we see and experience is just a projection or simulation, William Buhlman writes:

"Our loved ones continue to thrive after death; they are not projections or some digital information that fades! I know this from personal face-to-face contact with my “dead” loved ones during multiple OBEs. This includes my dead mother, uncle, and other loved ones. These experiences were life-changing for me and I write about my experiences in detail in my five books.

My mother and uncle appeared to be young; middle to late 20s. My mother was radiant and energetic and escorted me to her modest astral dimension home and proudly showed me around. She also talked about her sisters living “down the street” as she phrased it. Our communication was by direct thought transference, much more elegant than physical spoken words.

Her unconditional love was projected to me without the need for words. It was overwhelming! This gave me immense joy, comfort, and confirmation to absolutely know that our afterlife is a reality and not some B/S theory. This is one of the many reasons why our explorations of consciousness are important to all of us".



TOP TEN THINGS MOST DEAD PEOPLE WANT YOU TO KNOW
1. They're not dead.
2. They are fine.
3. They miss their loved ones.
4. They are now in perfect health.
5. Life there is hugely better than on earth.
6. They hate to see their loved ones grieving.
7. There's no such thing as a devil or hell.
8. They wish they had told their loved ones that they loved them more often.
9. They are sorry for any pain they caused.
10. They look forward to a happy reunion when the time comes.



RICH MARTINI - GOING HOME
Richard Martini talks about his journey to the research behind "Flipside - A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" (2013), "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" (2014), and "Hacking the Afterlife" (2016)





GREAT SOURCES OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE
When Michael Tymn interviewed Steve Beckow, the author of the wonderful website "New Maps of Heaven", he asked him about his favourite sources of information.
Beckow named the following:
The books communicated by Philip Gilbert through his mother Alice Philip in Two Worlds, (1948)
Into the Everywhere, (1962) and
Philip in the Spheres (1952)
[We can't seem to find these easily available]
Julia’s letters in W.T. Stead’s "After Death",
"T.E Lawrence’s Post-Mortem Journal", and
Hugh Benson’s Life in the World Unseen series.
Among the books by incarnate scholars, his favourite is Paul Beard’s "Living On". See Mike's interview here.



MEET ANNE BAYFORD - A LESS ORDINARY LIFE
Born psychic, Anne Bayford was put into a psychiatric hospital for "hearing voices". The voices advised her to pretend that she could no longer hear them. The video is set to open at the 20-minute point where she describes seeing her body on the road after being knocked down in a traffic accident. She says that she then began a life review with access to the Akashic records where she learned how her past lives were influencing her present. She has since studied at The College of Psychic Studies and now works as a psychic medium and trance channel, teaching people to become more intuitive.






DEATHBED VISIONS
Deathbed visions are consistent with and support the other evidence for the afterlife. Of those who will experience conscious death, fifty to sixty percent will experience a vision of the afterlife.

There are many cases on record with the Society of Psychical Research where the spirit visitors were seen by others at the bedside of the dying person, sometimes by several persons at the same time:
• In one well-documented case a death-bed apparition was seen by the dying woman, Harriet Pearson, and three relatives who were caring for her ("Journal of the Society for Psychical Research" Feb 1904: 185-187)
• In another case of a young boy dying, two witnesses independently saw his recently deceased mother at the child's bedside ("Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research", Volume 6 p.20 ).



SURGEON FROM THE OTHER SIDE
Dr. Keith Parsons takes a further look at the remarkable partnership between George Chapman and Dr. William Lang that began with the use of an Ouija board and lasted for almost 60 years.





"THE MIND AT LARGE: CLAIRVOYANCE, PSYCHICS, POLICE AND LIFE AFTER DEATH (A POLISH PERSPECTIVE)"
Clairvoyance research has over decades produced a significant body of evidence of the mind's ability to gather information not accessible to the physical senses. In the materialist philosophical worldview, mind-to-mind communication is impossible, therefore these accounts don't happen because they can't happen - nevertheless, they continue to occur time and time again all over the world. Zofia Weaver applies her specialized knowledge of Polish sources to provide new information to English-speaking readers. Ten contemporary investigations (between 1993 to 2008) are documented in this book. Read more.



PSYCHIC DIANE LAZARUS STUNS SKEPTICS
Under controlled conditions in Britain's Psychic Challenge, Diane Lazarus was able to find hidden persons in record time. In her autobiography Mixed Blessings. she talks about a challenging childhood, something she has in common with many psychics.





SUICIDE AND THE SOUL
Rob Cimperman sorts through the writings of Jane Roberts, who channeled the ascended being named Seth, as well as the regression hypnotherapy findings of Dr. Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon, as well as others and finds the key nuggets of life-changing truth about the soul, so you don't have to. A management consultant by trade, he is adept at objective analysis and presentation of what you need to know to make your own decisions. He concludes that to the soul, suicide is equivalent to being held back a grade in elementary school: It's never a good thing in terms of progress, but souls get a variety of support options to be more successful in the long run. He looks at a variety of causes for suicide, repercussions, and interventions from a spiritualist perspective.





THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS
Best-selling author Wayne Dyer was a leading figure for nearly 40 years in the New Thought movement — a century-old spiritual school of thought that believes God is everywhere, individuals have the divine spirit within themselves, and one’s thinking has the power to change one’s world or heal disease. He spent much of his life until he was 10, growing up in an orphanage after his alcoholic father left him, his mother, and two brothers. Two years before writing his breakthrough book, Dyer found out his father had died and went to visit his grave. He recounted feeling angry until a sudden calm came over him. "From this moment on I send you love,” Dyer said, “And I forgive you for everything that you have done". The gravesite encounter launched his writing career and changed his life. Read more.



WONDERFUL EXPERIMENTS IN PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP
Physical mediums usually need to work in total darkness because light weakens the phenomena and can cause harm to the medium. Professor Eckhard Cruse is working with several physical mediums to develop innovative ways of verifying the phenomena without the need to introduce light at harmful levels. In this video, he is working with the circle of the German medium Kai Muegge.

TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR HARD AND HONEST WORK
As the Universal Spiritual Brother & Sisterhood (USB) points out, there is worth in every honest work, however humble. While it is good to strive to improve one’s position in life, we should not be dismayed if our present limitations prevent us from attaining all we desire. Whatever our circumstances, occupation, or our physical or material handicaps, we can all have dignity, morality, and integrity if we devote ourselves to making the best of what we have in life.

Regardless of the nature of our work, so long as we do it to the best of our ability, we can walk with our heads held high and take our places in the community with self-respect.

The full teachings of The USB are contained in the book "Spiritual Light", published by USB Vision Press.



"WE SEEK TO ABOLISH THE FEAR OF DEATH"
“We seek to drive out misery, fear and desperation. We seek to bring the light of simple truth and reason, the voice of inspiration, of revelation, the wisdom of the spirit that has been crushed, stifled and repressed for so long...

"We seek to abolish the fear and the terror of death, so that all may realise that it has its place in the eternal scheme of life.
We seek to abolish all the obstacles that stand between the two states of existence, that man may find his soul and in finding his soul find himself.

" We seek to quicken all the powers of the divine within, so that the Great Spirit shall be expressed through all His children.”

A Voice in the Wilderness - Further Teachings From Silver Birch p.13.



FEEDBACK: (Three only)
1) "Brilliant report. Amazingly informative!" Phil

2) "Victor Zammit, It always brings a smile to my face to see the notification on my phone that your Friday Afterlife Report is out. I look forward to it each week & I'm sure many others feel the same." Bonnie

3) "In the Sept 1 newsletter, the issue was raised of whether spirit beings are seen as balls of light or not. Some people wonder about this and I believe I have an answer. Victor paraphrased Susanne Wilson, The Carefree Medium, who claims in her book that our loved ones do not become balls of light, but due to our limited capacity, we may see them as such. I suggest that she is right, based on comments from Zetas speaking through the medium, Paul Hamden. When spirits cannot decode quanta, a representation of matter, the default result is to experience a field of light. The Zeta said, “There are many places where the construct of what seems to be three-dimensional does not exist, the light area.” So when one can't properly decode what one is looking at in a quantized substrate, a grid, the default perception is light. This may be the case when looking at any entity like another spirit. The Zeta quote is from the free download, "A Primer of the Zeta Race", 17th Ed., at http://www.treurniet.ca/zetacom/zetaprimer.htm, p. 151.

Also, knowledge of the Zeta cosmology may help to understand this. A description of the cosmology is in the article, "A Cosmology Founded on Intrinsic Attributes of Consciousness", at http://www.treurniet.ca/zetacom/JCER-Treurniet.pdf".



HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: "NAT KING COLE STARDUST"
"Stardust" is a jazz song composed by American singer, songwriter and musician Hoagy Carmichael in 1927 with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. Now considered a standard and part of the Great American Songbook, the song has been recorded over 1,500 times either as an instrumental or vocal track, featuring different performers. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1995 and added to the National Recording Registry in 2004. Enjoy the beautiful lyrics.
