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

Last
week's report and read
all previous reports
For
the next two weeks we will be travelling in the USA
for the ASCSI
conference in Arizona so will have limited access
to email. Looking forward to meeting lots of old and
new friends there. We'll do our best to keep everyone
updated.
COMMENTARY:
'LIFE IS SHORTER THAN YOU THINK'! There
are those in the world who are long term planners-
and usually these are the ones who are open to studying
whether there is an afterlife and what is likely to
happen when we cross over. However, there are others
who are 'short term planners'. I'm sure you've come
across them as well. They have no curiosity or ambition
to know what is inevitably going to happen in the
future. They say things like "I'll think about
the afterlife when I get older .." or "I'm
too busy right now renovating the house."
But life is much shorter than we think. The guy who
told me he had to do up his house who was his early
sixties. Six months after he told me that he died
of a heart attack in his sleep. Millions die every
day unexpectedly. Millions everyday get terminally
ill. Since we cannot avoid that which is inevitable
NOW IS THE TIME to understand the huge consequences
of the afterlife. Just talk to those in their sixties
who will tell you they can't believe how fast time
has gone!!
DR RAYMOND MOODY-THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING ABOUT
THE AFTERLIFE
WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU DIE- by Silver Birch
through medium Maurice Barbanell
"
The one thing that brings the greatest sorrow to those
who have passed on is our excessive grief. This, curiously
enough, acts as a deterrent to their getting close to
us. They do not like the constant visits to the graveyard
as they know they are not there. Most Spiritualists
make a habit of placing flowers near the photograph
of the one who has passed on, particularly remembering
anniversaries. This serves to perpetuate the idea that
the spirit is constantly in the home." Read

DR GARY SCHWARTZ AFTERLIFE
EXPERIMENTS
Professor
Gary Schwartz and colleagues at the University of
Arizona conducted a number of research studies with
some of the top mediums in the United States including
(in order of working with them) Laurie Campbell, John
Edward, Suzanne Northrop, George Anderson. Anne Gehmen,
George Dalzell, Allison Dubois, Catherine Yunt, Mary
Ann Morgan, Janet Mayer, Christopher Robinson, Traci
Bray, Sally Own, Mary Occhino, Debbie Martin, Doreen
Molloy, Sally Morgan, Robert Hansen and Angelina Diana.
Dr Schwartz writes: " These mediums
have been tested under experimental conditions that
rule out the use of fraud and cold reading techniques
commonly used by psychic entertainers and mental magicians."
The video below, made in 1999, shows Professor
Schwartz discussing results of the experiments with
some of the mediums.
"DON'T GOOGLE DADDY'S NAME"
In
this interview John Edward explains one downside of
continual opposition online from closed-minded skeptics,
especially those who post anonymously. " It never
really bothered me up until my son was 11," he
says. "And then I realized I had to have the
talk with him. Most people, when their kids get to
be 11 or 12, they get to have various talks. I had
to have the internet talk: 'Don’t Google Daddy’s
name'." Read

In the interview he talks about his
role as a teacher and if you check out his
schedule you can see he is very bravely taking
the message of the afterlife far and wide.
DAN DRASIN'S NEW SCIENCE 2020
Dan
Drasin is a veteran documentary filmmaker and media
producer with over a dozen international awards. As
a child, he experienced numerous precognitive dreams.
Since 1993 he has probed facets of afterlife research
including near-death and out-of-body experiences,
reincarnation and afterlife communication.
His latest projects include a series of films about
afterlife research. He
has a wonderful new website bringing together his
work based on two key questions:
1) Can the materialist / mechanist model of reality,
which has dominated the Western worldview for over
400 years, stand up to modern scrutiny? If not, what
would replace or supplant it?
2) Has skepticism
abdicated its proper role within science and become
an ideological end in itself? If so, what are the
broader implications for free inquiry in the 21st
century?

MICHAEL TYMN
"INTERVIEWS" THE FIRST PSYCHIC RESEEARCHER
"
John W. Edmonds, who served
as Chief Justice of the New York State Supreme Court,
is believed to have been the first true psychical
researcher. Following the advent of the spirit communication
epidemic that hit the world with the so-called “Rochester
Knocking” in 1848, a number of educated and
prominent men and women observed various mediumistic
phenomena, but Edmonds carried his investigation beyond
a few casual observations. Beginning in early 1851,
he sat with numerous mediums, closely testing them
in every conceivable way in search of the truth."

BOB OLSON INTERVIEWS ANNIE KAGAN
Annie
Kagan is not a medium or a psychic, she did not die
and come back to life; in fact, when she was awakened
by her deceased brother, she thought perhaps she had
gone a little crazy. In The
Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother
Proved to Me There's Life After Death, Kagan
shares the extraordinary story of her after death
communications (ADC) with her brother Billy, who began
speaking to her just weeks after his unexpected death.
EARTH'S COSMIC
ASCENDANCY: SPIRIT AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS GUIDE US
THROUGH TIMES OF CHANGE
by George E. Moss
"
My fifty years as innovative scientist have enmeshed
with two decades of séance group encounters.
The latter have led to intriguing revelations, that
fast became sensational between-worlds adventures,
as one from Angelic Realms whom we now know as ‘Salumet’,
joined us as teacher and guide. That was mid-1994,
was part of Earth’s forward move and the timing
not accidental. Our guide’s objectives were
twofold: firstly to deflect mankind’s dogged
approach towards nuclear oblivion, and secondly to
teach truth of existence—much needed in a world
devoted to rampant materialism and confused religious
fervour." Read

WALTER SEMKIW REINCARNATION
STUDY BASED ON DR. IAN STEVENSON'S WORK
SHARED DEATH EXPERIENCES
Kevin Williams of near-death.com
writes:
" One of the strangest type of near-death experiences
(NDEs) involve people who are not near-death at all.
However, because they are in close proximity to a
dying loved one, they often experience a portion of
their NDE. Such experiences are called "shared
death experiences" (SDEs). While this type of
phenomenon does not provide solid scientific evidence
for the reality of out-of-body existence, they do
provide excellent circumstantial evidence - especially
if more than two people are involved. The following
information comes from some of the top near-death
researchers on the subject of SDEs". Read

FEEDBACK
1)
I love Fridays and your wonderful stories! Thank you,
thank you! "Extraordinary knowing" by Elizabeth
Lloyd Mayer is now on my kindle reader. Furthermore,
I have sent the link to my fellow harp-players, that
should prick their ears. I have also posted it on
Graham Hancock's website, as there, strangely enough,
are a lot of sceptics there. I try my best! Gerda.
2) I was interested in the commentary:
For entertainment purposes only in the U.K. I am a
U.K. Medium and I am surprised this ruling still stands
in the light of the change in what constitutes a religion
in the U.K. now that Scientology has been accepted
by the Supreme court. Lord Toulson places emphasis
on the human spiritual expression rather than worship
of a divine entity.Surely this changes the entertainment
aspect? See telegraph
article. Many thanks for what you do always something
thought provoking. Margaret
3) A great edition. I did a very
preliminary set of tests with mediums with a mind
monitor years ago and found that when they tried to
go into trance their brain waves went from Beta ..down
to Alpha 1...Alpha 2.. down in some cases to theta.
It didn’t really prove much, except that there
were changes in all participants. ( about 40 I think).
