COMMENTARY: PREJUDICE AND RACISM
IN THE AFTERLIFE?
We are informed directly from the afterlife that in
the lower regions, closest to earth, racial and other
prejudices still exist. On crossing over, people in
the afterlife dimension are exactly the same as when
they left their lives on earth. They have the same prejudices
about gender, race, nationality, religious beliefs and
so on. They are attracted automatically to people who
have the same values and beliefs and are usually only
in contact with them.
It is only when we get to the level of the Light, especially
in the upper sections of that level, that people no
longer hold dogmatic beliefs and prejudices disappear.
Racism and religious prejudice cannot exist at this
level where only love exists. Here there is no rivalry,
no competition with each other as we know it on earth.
Here there is more co-operation with each other, more
understanding about making a contribution.

WILLIAM TILLER: A SPIRITUAL SCIENTIST
Professor William Tiller has an
incredible academic background. For many years he worked
at Stanford University as a full Professor with tenure
in the Materials Science department. From the mid 1950s
he and his wife, Jean, began reading about Edgar Cayce,
Yogananda, other yogis and mystics; since 1964 they both
have been daily meditators. Alongside his orthodox career
as a physicist he has conducted an extensive parallel
career investigating 1) ways a person can develop spiritually
(he recommends daily meditation and various breathing
and exercise routines like qigong, yoga, HeartMath, Sufism,
etc) 2) the nature of reality (we are spirits having a
human experience) and 3) how to design and conduct experiments
showing that thoughts and intentions affect our reality

his frustration with orthodox science and touches many
areas of discovery.
PSYCHIC HISTORY: Prof. WILLIAM JAMES (1842-1910)
ONE OF THE GIANTS OF THE PARANORMAL William
James was a physician, philosopher and Professor of
Psychology at Harvard University. The son of a Swedenborgian
theologian, he was the author of The Varieties of
Religious Experience. He was also a founding member
of the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR)
and president of the (British) SPR. He was responsible
for the introduction
of the greatest American medium, Mrs Piper, to the SPR
and had contact with her mediumship for many years.
The medium Jane Roberts claimed to have channeled an
account of his experiences after he left the body. The
Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher: The World
View of William James* (1978) is deeply moving...Read

Dr. Kenneth Ring and Sharon Cooper report on in-depth
interviews with 31 people who were fully or partially

THE PADGETT MESSAGES
James E. Padgett was a Washington D.C.
Attorney who lost his wife, Helen, in 1914. Helen was

was devastated at the loss of his wife. Padgett intensely
studied whatever he could find on the topic of Spiritualism.

WHO ACCEPTED THE PARANORMAL: Even
heart throb actor Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey
of The Wedding Planner and How To Lose a
Guy in 10 days fame admits to having visits from
“Madame Blue”–a ghost that frequented
one of his properties in the 2000s.
HARRY PRICE EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GHOST AND
A SPIRIT Through direct
voice medium, Lesley Flint,
ghost hunter, Harry Price, explains that "a ghost
is an entirely different thing to a spirit. You might
say a ghost - which has no real substance and no real
power - is a very strong thought vibration which has impregnated
itself upon the atmosphere in a certain given place, invariably
because at the time of the death of the individual, their
thoughts were so strong and powerful that they left behind
a memory". Listen

NATIVE AMERICANS
Question: Why is it that so many of the best mediums who
lived had native Americans as their guide? I did not think
they were terribly advanced materially and intellectually.
Marty S.
Victor: Yes, you are absolutely right that many
of the gifted mediums we know had native Americans as
one of their guides. Maurice Barbanell, the great English
medium said, "North American Native Indians were
great MASTERS OF PSYCHIC LAWS, with a most profound knowledge
of supernormal forces and how they operated. This qualifies
them, after their passing, to act as
tutors and guides to their mediums. They were more advanced
than any other race. Spiritualists acknowledge that by
their very lifestyle, being close to nature and working
with the earth, Native Americans were probably much more
in tune with the forces of nature than most other people
on earth - and so were able to accept communication with
spirit." We have come across Native American guides
with: Estelle Roberts: Red Cloud, Maurice Barbanell: Silver
Birch, Kathleen Barkel: White Hawk, Gladys Leonard: North
Star, John Sloan: White Feather.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?
"As
we moved, I realized that I no longer heard what was going
on at the accident scene. I was coming into a place that
was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. I had no fear or
worry. It felt like home….The music I heard was
incredible, melodies beyond anything I could have imagined.
The scenery of nature was alive with magnificent color
and texture. Brilliant in every sense of the word! There
were beautiful buildings and amazing statues, rich with
incredible detail and brilliant color..
As I stood there, looking around, people were starting
to approach me and welcome me home. The hugs I received
were like no others; they were filled with incredible
love and comfort that empowered me. The joyous reunions
with so many loved ones were tremendous! But I needed
a moment to adjust and gather my thoughts of what had
just happened. I needed to get a grip on this. What I
had experienced obviously was not a dream. I was just
in Colorado, having a great time in the mountains with
my college buddies, and now I am here, in heaven? Really?
A totally different place that feels just as solid and
real as earth? Doesn’t seem to be possible!”

IT'S JUST A RIDE Bill
Hicks (1961-1994) was an American stand-up comedian, writer,
social critic, satirist, and musician. He rejected his
family's Southern Baptist religious beliefs and instead
explored transcendental meditation, psychedelics and alternative
spirituality. One of his famous lines was "Today,
a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely
energy condensed to a slow vibration—that we are
all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream,
and we're the imagination of ourselves."
MATERIALIZATIONS AND DE-MATERIALIZATIONS
WITH UFOS There
is no doubt in my mind that UFOs exist. More than thirty-five
years ago I witnessed a UFO which shot up vertically into
the sky. Other credible eye-witnesses say they saw UFOs
just disappear in front of their eyes! A very reliable
friend of ours, informed us that she actually made contact
with inter-dimensional beings.
I am convinced that the beings in the UFOs have mastered
the skills of dematerializing their flying-vehicles and
materializing them elsewhere. That explains why so many
eye-witnesses stated that the UFO they saw just disappeared
and did not fly away as our planes do. Watch
Steven Greer's explanation.

1) I can't thank you & Wendy enough, especially for
this weeks email. The video of the song "SPIRIT IN
THE SKY" was such a gift! I can't wait to share it
with my son & my husband. I was a hospice nurse &
not allowed to share any of my comfort thoughts with my
patients. That was only for clergy to do. If the patients
brought the subject up, I would tell them the bible verse
"no eye has seen,nor ear has heard......." Love,Light
& Peace on earth,
Carol

perspective for me, especially about Jesus' teachings.
Thank you so much. Rose.
