COMMENTARY:
SOME EIGHT IN TEN
PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE Worldwide,
more than eight-in-ten people identify with a
religious group, says a new comprehensive demographic
study of more than 230 countries and territories conducted
by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion &
Public Life. “There are 5.8 billion religiously
affiliated adults and children around the globe, representing
84 percent of the 2010 world population of 6.9 billion,”
the analysis states. •
2.2 billion Christians (32 percent of the world’s
population). • 1.6 billion Muslims (23 percent). • 1 billion Hindus (15 percent. • 500 million Buddhists (7 percent). • 400 million people (6 percent)
practicing various folk or traditional religions, including
African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions,
American Indian religions and Australian aboriginal religions.
There are 14 million Jews, and an estimated 58 million
people — slightly less than 1 percent of the global
population – belong to other religions, including
the Baha’i faith, Jainism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Taoism,
Tenrikyo, Wicca and Zoroastrianism, “to mention
just a few,” the
study says.
RELIGIONS IN THE AFTERFLIFE?
Will those who
practice a religion remain in their religion for all eternity?
For example, will Christians remain Christians forever?
Highly credible information from afterlife teachers tells
us that in the early stages after arriving in the afterlife,
people do continue to practice their own particular religion.
There are beautifully constructed mosques, temples, cathedrals
etc. But as spirits become evolved and go to the higher
realms, they completely drop ALL religious beliefs. They
accept that there is one God - and doing good spiritual
work becomes their only religion.
THE IMPACT OF THE NEW SCIENCES ERWIN
LASZLO, is the recipient of
the highest degree in philosophy and human sciences of
the Sorbonne, the University of Paris, as well as of the
coveted Artist Diploma of the Franz Liszt Academy of Budapest.
His numerous prizes and awards include four Honorary Doctorates.
He is the author of 69 books and over 400 articles and
research papers including New
Concepts of Matter, Life and Mind. Here he talks about
the impact of the new sciences.
WHY INVESTIGATE CONSCIOUSNESS? "If
ordinary people really knew that consciousness and not
matter is the link that connects us with each other and
the world, then their views about war and peace, environmental
pollution, social justice, religious values, and all other
human endeavors would change radically."

DANNION BRINKLEY INTERVIEWED BY LISA HARRISON
Dannion Brinkley has had 3 NDEs (near death experiences)
since 1975. Dannion's NDE is perhaps the world's most
well known. He was officially dead for over 28 minutes
and has written three best selling books about his experiences.
It was Dannion's first NDE that brought the terms NDEs
and Near Death Experiences into mainstream consciousness.
THOUGHT: COMMUNICATING WITH THOSE IN THE AFTERLIFE
Are thoughts we send to loved ones who
have passed on always received?
"It
is not possible to give a straightforward 'Yes' or 'No',
because it depends upon the evolution of the soul. If
the one who has passed into my world is on the same mental
and spiritual plane as the one in your world, then he
will receive the thoughts, but if the two are so far removed
from one another that they are on different planes, then
the one who passed on will not receive the thoughts."
(S. Birch)
AFTER DEATH COMMUNICATION Dr. Annette
Childs and Dr. Heidi Horsley discuss after death communication
at the ADEC
conference.
WE REMEMBER BRILLIANT INDEPENDENT
VOICE MEDIUM JOHN SLOAN One
of the greatest direct voice mediums in the
UK was John Sloan (left). For many years he gave sittings
without charge to small groups of friends. One of his
long-term sitters was Arthur Findlay (below) who, until
he met Sloan, was an agnostic stockbroker. Findlay
was convinced of the afterlife when, through Sloan, he
heard the voice of his own deceased father and a family
friend
who conveyed to him information not known by any living
person. He began a monumental study of psychic science
and produced the
series of world renowned classics which we very highly
recommend. Arthur Findlay gifted his home, Stansted Hall,
built in 1871, to the Spiritualists' National Union as
a college for the advancement of Psychic Science. Today
the Arthur
Findlay College holds over 80 Courses there every
year.
WE FIND OURSELVES IN A WORLD JUST
AS SOLID AS THIS ONE writes
Mons. Hugh Benson from the afterlife. "The fact is
that churchmen, generally, of whatever denomination,
are obsessed by the notion that nothing in the spirit
world has any solidity at all... outwardly they cannot
contemplate either us or the land we inhabit other than
in terms of something which is essentially tenuous and
vapory. The reverse is the truth. We are essentially solid
and relatively more material than are your earth world
and its inhabitants to you. Among the super-abundant advantages
which we have over you is the fact that we are imperishable
while you are not...."

MEDIUM CHRIS STILLAR DOES A READING
FOR A SKETPIC Director
of Metaphysics Research,
Donna Smith-Moncrieffe, shares video footage from her
'non-believer's experiments' conducted as part of her
research with mental mediums. Eighty-eight sitters and
10 mediums participated in the larger study.
DONNA SMITH-MONCRIEFFE DEBRIEFS CHAD AFTER HIS READING
DR. IAN STEVENSON'S FINDINGS
ABOUT CHILDREN'S PAST LIVES
• memories appear—usually between age 2
and 4 and always fade between age 5 and 8
• child behaves like an adult and remembers vivid
events. Shows fear of objects related to prior death
• a large percentage of the cases remember a violent
death
• when children visit their previous home they
can point out changes
• the child has skills not taught or learned
• some have birthmarks or deformities in the same
place as a previous life injury.
INDIAN BOY REMEMBERS PREVIOUS LIFE AND DEATH
This case meets most of Dr. Stevenson's
criteria.
ARE MILLENIALS REJECTING LIFE AFTER DEATH? Michael
Tymn writes: " A recent survey by the Pew Research
Center
indicates that millennials -- those people born after
1981 -- are increasingly turning away from religion and
account for the growing number of "nones" in
the American population. But does turning away from religion
mean that these young adults are rejecting the idea of
life after death?" Michael recently interviewed Cyrus
Kirkpatrick, a 29-year-old freelance writer, who qualifies
as a "millennial". Read

WHERE DO DEAD PEOPLE LIVE? A BOOK
BY Richard Lee Van Der Voort. "The
“psychic stories”
presented in this first volume ALL happened to me personally.
One event. 1955, when I was only 19 years old and in the
U.S. Army. Later, after taking a B.A. in Western Philosophy,
an M.A. in Modern Lit and Poetry Writing, and an entire
career as a college English professor poet & writer,
I had a major spiritual experience that returned me to
a belief in God after a 15 year absence as an Agnostic."

INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: THE MUSICAL MAGIC OF A MOST WONDERFUL
SINGER 'ENYA' singing
that beautiful singing 'EXILE!' - have a close look
at the lyrics - very poetic and most evocative!
.
"Exile"
Cold as the northern winds
In December mornings,
Cold is the cry that rings
From this far distant shore.
Winter has come too late
Too close beside me.
How can I chase away
All these fears deep inside?
[Chorus:]
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
My light shall be the moon
And my path - the ocean.
My guide the morning star
As I sail home to you.
[Chorus]
Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreams - a boat
I will sail home to you.
