WE WISH ALL OUR SUBSCRIBERS AROUND
THE WORLD THE VERY BEST FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
COMMENTARY: CHRISTMAS WISHES
It is that
time of the year again where we make special efforts
to renew connections - meeting up with, or sending best
wishes to, family and others we have not seen for a
long time. Our Western Christmas tradition also emphasizes
giving. It is a time for more love, more understanding,
a time for forgiving,
a time for remembering those who looked after us and
helped us in the past. It is a time for patience, tolerance
– and it is also a most precious time for kindness
and those little extra gestures of love to all - especially
to those who feel neglected, abandoned or forgotten.
Whatever your beliefs, whatever the way
you choose to spend the holidays, Wendy and I wish you
PEACE, LIGHT and LOVE - for Christmas.
CHRISTMAS IN THE SPIRIT WORLD
Silver Birch, a highly credible afterlife teacher who
spoke through trance medium Maurice Barbanell, claimed
that at Christmas time advanced spirits on the other side
take time out from their normal duties and go on a kind
of retreat where they share experiences. He says they
receive guidance from higher spirits including "The
Nazarene", as he calls Jesus.
“Instead of celebrating the dawn of the new life,
we now use it to withdraw from the world of matter to
get new power of the spirit so that we can bring new light
to the world...We take counsel, we share experiences,
we learn how far we have succeeded or failed. New plans
are discussed. We meet those who sent us on our mission...For
a short time I am in the spheres where I now belong, to
feel once again that vitalising power of the spirit, so
invigorating in its strength, so beautiful in its fullness,
making you realise what life is, when you are able to
experience it in the higher realms of the spirit. Read

BEYOND OUR SIGHT - AN INDEPENDENT
DOCUMENTARY ON NDEs Absolutely
brilliant testimonials by insightful experiencers.
FAMOUS SCIENTIST DR. MAX PLANCK ON SKEPTICSM "A
new scientific truth does
not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them
see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually
die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with
it.” I apply this notion on to the closed minded
skeptics who refuse to accept the repeatable and objective
evidence for the afterlife. These skeptics with their
negative prejudices will die off - and others after them
will become open minded skeptics prepared to accept the
afterlife evidence.
SEPARATION NOT INTENTIONAL
We know that in indigenous societies there is a much greater
awareness of the spirit world than in a materialist Western
society.
"Neither was it intended
that the two worlds, ours and yours, should be as they
are now -- so far apart in thought and contact. The day
will assuredly come when our two worlds will be closely
interrelated, when communication between the two will
be a commonplace of life, and then the great wealth of
resources of the spirit world will be open to the earth
world, to draw upon for the benefit of the whole human
race." Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, speaking from
the afterlife through Anthony Borgia in Life
in the World Unseen
AREI WORKING TO SUPPORT AFTERLIFE COMMUNICATION Dedicated

BILL GUGGENHEIM'S AFTER
DEATH COMMUNICATION COURSE
Many of you would know of Bill Guggenheim through his
work on the book Hello
From Heaven (1995). In this video Bill explains
that he is now a bereaved parent and is working to train
people to have direct contact experiences with their loved
ones who have died. Bill will be presenting at the AREI
Symposium in Scottsdale Arizona in September 2017.
AFTER DEATH CONTACT RESEARCH
In
every culture in the world intelligent, sane, well grounded
people have reported spontaneous direct contact with
people who have died. In 1882 The Society for Psychical
Research recorded 32,000 cases which were published
in Volume X of the Society for Psychical Research Proceedings
(1894). Further studies were carried out by the American
Society for Psychical Research and by the French researcher
Camille Flammarion who compiled thousands of cases in
his books The
Unknown(1900) andDeath and Its Mystery (1925). Since then
there has been an enormous amount of solid
scientific research into what used to be called
"apparitions". One of the most recent is a
wonderful study by Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson The
Departed Among the Living.
EXPLORING SPIRITUAL GIFTS IN THE
AFTERMATH OF AN NDE WITH JEFF OLSEN
A devastating auto accident crippled Jeff Olsen and killed
his wife and younger son. He had a near-death experience
where his wife told him he needed to go back for his older
son. He talks about his profound experiences of oneness
with all people following his NDE and his later visits
to the afterlife where he communicated with his wife and
held his baby son. He realises that there was no reason
for him to feel guilt because all had agreed to their
life plan.
THE GRIEVING PARENTS' HANDBOOK
Since
the death of her son, Danny, in 2008, Sheri Perl's healing
work has focused a great deal on bereavement and helping
the bereaved to connect-up with their loved ones in
spirit. Her book Lost
and Found---A Mother Connects-Up With Her Son In Spirit
was written to help others see how close spirit is to
us and how we can cultivate a relationship with those
we love on the other side. She has also made available
The Grieving Parents' Handbook which can be
downloaded free of charge from
her website.
THE 12 KEYS TO VISITING WITH DEPARTED
LOVED ONES After working
in hospitals with many suffering and dying adults and
children, Dr. Mark
Pitstick was motivated to find sensible, evidence-based
answers to the questions that many people ask: “Who
am I? Why am I here? What happens after I die? Will I
see my departed loved ones again? Is there a God? Why
is there so much suffering?” His books, documentary
film, CDs and experiential workshops address all of these
questions and help you survive and even thrive through
life’s biggest changes and challenges. Read
his guide to having an after death contact.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY PARTNER ON CROSSING OVER?
There are so many millions
of couples around the world where one partner accepts
the afterlife but the other partner does not. People regularly
ask us what happens on crossing over to those who do not
believe in the afterlife?
There is no easy answer to this question because there
are so many things to take into consideration. A person
who did not believe in anything but was basically a good,
honest person who was unselfishly helping others is not
likely to have major problems at all. He will usually
be met by loved ones on crossing over and proceed to the
realm of Light – a world much better than ours.
Beliefs are normally immaterial but character is critical
as to what happens on crossing over to all people. Several
times in seances with materialization medium David Thompson
we have heard partners who disapproved of their partner's
involvement in afterlife activities come back and admit
they were wrong.
PROOF
OF THE AFTERLIFE IS JUST THE BEGINNING The
Spirit Guide, White Feather, speaking through deep trance
medium Rob Goodwin: "Our agenda, if you wish to call
it that, is not simply to prove the continuity of life
after death; that is just the beginning. Our true directive,
noble in every way, is to open up mankind's unlimited
potential for goodness and reveal to him the infinite
power inherent within, that he may transcend his lower
states of egotism, selfishness and ignorance and both
realise and embrace his true state of being."

mainstream. But what about Christmas and other celebrations?
You just might be surprised what plant-based options are
available.

IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY Our thoughts and prayers
go out to all who are struggling at this time with the
loss of a family member, friend or beloved animal companion.
May you receive comfort and feel the support of loved
ones on both sides of life throughout the holiday season.
1. Thanks so much, Victor and Wendy! I especially love
the qigong master video in this one! Cristina
2. Words we all need to hear with a world so
overwhelmed with fear and hatred right now, thank you
Victor for reminding us all that we still have the power
to make changes, regardless of how small they may seem
they still count for a lot. Wendy S.
3. Thanks very much for the work you do in support of
Physical Mediumship and Physical Phenomena. Your teaching
goes a long way towards educating the public to the truth!!!

MUSIC - FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Some very special magic for Christmas: the most beautiful
'OH HOLY NIGHT' by the fabulous Celtic Woman. This must
be the very best Christmas music sung magnificently
by this group from Ireland. It does not matter what
religion - or no religion - you belong to, the harmonies
in this magic-music are really heart-opening and highly
inspired.
