COMMENTARY:
RIGHT WING SKEPTICISM Whilst it is true
that closed-minded atheists
and materialists do not accept the afterlife, there
are many more traditional religionists and fundamentalists
who are also against the paranormal and afterlife research.
I call these 'right wing skeptics' as distinct from
the atheists, agnostics, and materialists who are the
'left wing skeptics'. They claim
that you need 'faith' in order to accept what their
religion teaches. Faith which is based on reason, experience
and evidence is rationally acceptable, but faith based
on tradition without evidence is subject to error and
even to complete invalidation.
The evidence that is accumulating for the afterlife
is based on the documented and analysed experiences
of millions of highly credible witnesses and the experiments
of highly trained investigators. That is why we have
to help those in conservative religions to understand
that seeking truth based on evidence is more important
than accepting unproven beliefs which are thousands
of years old. Join us - we are on the winning side!

FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO SAY THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD
Would you agree that
some things in the Bible could not have come from God?
Read carefully:
"
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword.
Their little children will be dashed to death right
before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their
wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir
up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver
or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will
shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have
no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion
for the children." (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)
Clearly this looks like the writing of some uninformed
spiritually retarded writer. When people are asked to
accept a God with a morality less than that of a spiritually
advanced human being then you know the writing cannot
be trusted.
Read Religion and near-death experiences.
THE SPIRITUAL TEST PROPOSED
BY AN ADVANCED SPIRITUALTEACHER
" We never say to you: 'Do
not use your reason: have faith only.' We say: 'Use
that which the Great Power has given you. Test us. Examine
us. If aught that we say is debasing, cruel or immoral,
then reject us. If we seek always to teach you to live
nobler lives, lives of greater self-sacrifice and of
idealism, then surely that demonstrates that the hall-mark
of the Great Power is stamped upon our teaching.' Silver
Birch.

ASTRAL TRAVEL:
Victor - Occasionally I hear people talking
about astral travel - exactly what is it? Victor:
Astral travel is the same thing as an out of
body experience. It happens when the real you - the
spirit body inside you - leaves your physical body.
About 20% of people find it happens once or twice spontaneously
while they are conscious. But some people are able to
train their minds and travel vast distances and explore
other dimensions. Sometimes the spirit body travels
to the afterlife dimension to meet up with loved ones
and friends. Actually everyone travels astrally when
they are asleep. Read

AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE AT THE MONROE INSTITUTE
WHO JUDGES US WHEN WE DIE? Question:The Church says there will be
St. Peter at the gates to judge us. Another priest said
that on death we go underground until Jesus comes to judge
the living and the dead. Yet you say we judge ourselves.
Any comments? Jacinda W.
Victor:
On crossing over you will go to a level which reflects
the consciousness you develop while alive. Remember that
'like attracts like' on the astral level. On crossing
over, under normal circumstances, there will be loved
ones waiting for you to help you move on to a place where
you will feel most at home. Usually, the good, average,
open minded honest person (without being perfect) goes
to the Third level of the Light. Certainly there will
be no St. Peter reviewing your lifetime, there will be
no angels playing the harp or anything some of the religions
tell us when we cross over. And we certainly do NOT go
'underground' until Jesus comes to judge the living and
the dead. However you will become aware of everything
that you did in your lifetime and the effects it had on
others. Read

MYSTICAL EXPERIENCES WITH
HOSPICE THAT TRANSFORMED MY LIFE Hospice
worker hears from someone she helped cross over and
learns that her brother who died before birth is assisting
her.
ADDICTIONS: Do strong addictions
stop on crossing over?
Victor: We are credibly informed
that on crossing over our addictions stay with us. This
could mean smoking, alcohol, drugs of all kinds. But
in the afterlife there is nowhere where one can obtain
any drugs - but the strong addictive urge remains. Those
who are reasonably spiritually advanced will find it
easier to be helped. Those others who may have lower
vibrations and are in the astral earth's level, are
likely to find it difficult to cope with the addiction
urges. But help will always be there for those who give
an indication they want to be helped.

THE DIRECT VOICE MEDIUMSHIP OF ICELANDIC MEDIUM INDRIDI
INDRIDASON “Most
remarkable were the frequent phenomena of direct voices.
And sometimes there were two voices – a female soprano
and male bass voice – singing together. The direct
voice phenomena are rare with mediums but were more common
with Indridi
Indridason than any other kind of phenomena, and were
also observed outside his séances and in full daylight."
Read more about this amazing medium in Michael
Tymn's interview with afterlife investigator Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson.
DEAD MEN TALKING - AFTERLIFE COMMUNICATION FROM WORLD
WAR 1
Some of the best evidence for the afterlife came through
wonderful mediums in the period immediately after World
War 1. Many messages come from fallen warriors, through
various mediums, telling their loved ones that they were
still “alive”. This book is an anthology of
their communication from the afterlife.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Lt.
Raymond Lodge on the battlefield during WWI, White
Crow Books is now offering the Kindle version of "Dead
Men Talking" for just $1.99 at Amazon.com, for a

FEEDBACK:
(Three only). Received always with thanks!
1) I just want to thank you so much for this gift every
week in my inbox. For the past two-and-a-half years, it
has often been the happy event that has kept me together
for a week, as I have navigated the aftermath of the passing
of my husband and, then, the dog we both loved as a child.
I have learned so much, following your links, reading
recommended books, watching the videos, listening to the
music. I can't thank you enough for all that you do.
Fondly,
Joan
2) I always receive you weekly emails with great interest
but, today, today's weekly mail was THE bonus. It contained
a link to the Campaign for Philosophical Freedom. At last,
I found it, the link to the Anglican Church's report on
mediumship, along with an enormous amount of related material.
As a metaphysical science doctoral candidate (nearly 2/3
through the degree), I have been searching for that report
and no amount of word changes and phrase mixing on Google
has succeeded. The Church had successfully buried it.
Now I have it.Thank you for your dedication to the cause
and the obvious workload involved in you excellent newsletters.
Phillip.
3) That Leslie Lemke video is one that I always showed
in my evening classes. I never got through it yet without
crying at the end. I used to warn the students that I
would not be able to speak at the end of the video (for
a short time) and after watching it they understood. sooo
moving. That’s spirituality!

INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER Probably
one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Released
as a single in early 1970 it was an immediate hit. Simon
and Garfunkel split that same year, but they came together
for reunion tours from time to time. The video shows a
heart rending performance where this musical duo got back
to sing their hit song together for the last time. Things
were not going well between these legends, but thankfully
that doesn’t affect their performance at all.
Whilst we encourage and we 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.
