COMMENTARY: LIBERATE YOUR MIND It
is very important to distinguish between subjective, personal
evidence and objective, scientific evidence. Personal
subjective evidence (e.g. I saw my grandmother standing
at the foot of my bed after she died) is the evidence
which is most convincing to the individual. But it is
less convincing to others who did not share your experience.
In legal cases we have different levels of evidence. 1) anecdotal - evidence collected in
a casual or informal manner and relying heavily or entirely
on personal testimony. This is what people are saying
or writing on Facebook. 2) prima facie ('on the face of it')
denotes evidence that, unless rebutted, would be sufficient
to prove a particular proposition or fact. 3) evidence which convinces on balance
of probabilities. This is the civil test of evidence,
more likely than not, roughly above 51%. 4) evidence which convinces beyond a
reasonable doubt, roughly above 75%. 5) the 'Cartesian' test - 100% beyond
any doubt. These days there is a great deal of evidence
for the paranormal and the afterlife which can no longer
be dismissed as anecdotal or prima facie. And, as outlined
in our book A
Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife,
we claim that, when taken as a whole, the evidence for
the afterlife passes the 'Cartesian' test: it is 100%
beyond any doubt. If you would like a pdf copy of the

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I BEGAN TO
QUESTION MY NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE Wendy
Harrington had a blissful NDE which she described as
being "more real that real life". When she
began studying Psychology she began to wonder if the
experience was caused by 'a dying brain'. Then she had
a similar experience, this time while she was in perfect
health.
BRILLIANT AMERICAN PHYSICAL MEDIUM
Sitting
with materialisation medium Joseph B. Jonson of Toledo,
Ohio, Vice-Admiral William Usborne Moore witnessed many
materializations, including his father and mother. “In
these there was no possibility of error,” he wrote,
mentioning that his father’s characteristic “iron
duke” nose stood out and that he saw him in good
light.
At a Jonson séance on February 1, 1909,
19 spirits manifested, 10 of them for Moore, including
his father, mother, and another close relative, Iola.
“During this séance, I saw several spirits
dematerialize,” he recorded. “Some descended
into the floor slowly and, so to speak, naturally. It
was possible to follow their heads with the eye until
the shoulders were level with the carpet. Others doubled
up before they dissipated, and a few fell over on one
side.” Read

PROFESOR ARCHIE ROY AND TRICIA
ROBERTSONINVESTIGATED MEDIUMSTrisha Robertson
and Professor
Archie Roy completed a five year study of mediums
in a project called PRISM (Psychic Research Involving
Selected Mediums). This resulted in three peer reviewed
papers published in the Society for Psychical Research
Journal. The third paper showed that, even in triple blind
conditions, a good medium can deliver relevant information
to a sitter with odds against chance being a million
to one. The video below shows part of the testing.
SOME WORLD LEADERS WHO SOUGHT
ADVICE FROM MEDIUMS President
Lincoln (left) was not the only head of state who sought
out advice from mediums. It is well known that Queen
Victoria (below right) consulted her
medium, John Brown, to communicate with her deceased
husband, Prince Albert. She consulted other mediums
as well. Empress Eugénie, the wife of
the French Emperor Napoleon III, consulted
Madame Blavatsky and Daniel Dunglas Home. Tsar
Alexander
II (left)consulted Daniel
Dunglas Home.Queen Sophia, the
Wife of King William III of the Netherlands, also consulted
Daniel Dunglas Home. Nor
were the Lincolns the only American presidential family
to consult mediums. Jane Pierce, the wife of
14th President, Franklin Pierce, (right) consulted
mediums after the death of her son in a train accident
in 1853.
DR JEFFREY SMITH TEACHES VETERANS TO BE THEIR OWN MEDIUM
Dr. Jeffrey Smith (below
left) is a former fighter pilot who
had a NDE. He had a life transformation and became a family
therapist. Now he works with past life therapy and EMDR.
He helps veterans to heal from post-traumatice stress
disorder by guiding them to have mediumistic connections
with fallen comrades and others
significant in their trauma. His work has been verified
by gifted mediums. Dr.
Melvin Morse, who has been working with Dr. Smith,
has had more than 20 years experience investigating NDEs,
meditation and remote viewing. He claims that healing
can occur when people enter any experiences of expanded
consciousness. Listen

'THE FUN OF STAYING
IN TOUCH' NOW IN AUDIO Roberta
Grimes' The Fun of Staying in Touch is a recent book which outlines how our
loved ones in spirit use signs and synchronicities to
communicate with us. She gives examples of how they
are able to use energy to direct insects (especially
butterflies and dragonflies) close to a person. We are
pleased to announce that the book, along with The
Fun of Dying, is now available in audio format. Read

SUGGESTED READING FOR A FUNERAL Beautiful,
exquisite spiritual eloquence:
"To die is not tragic. To live in your world is
tragic. To
see the garden of the Great Spirit-Power choked with
the weeds of selfishness and greed and avarice, that
is tragedy. To die is to enjoy freedom of the spirit,
which has been imprisoned behind the bars of the material
body.
Is it tragic to be released from suffering, for the
soul to come into its own? Is it tragic to see wonders
of color, to hear music that does not belong to material
expression? Do you call it tragic to express yourself
in a body that has no pain, to be able to roam all over
the world of matter in a flash and to taste the beauties
of the spirit life too?
There is not in your world one artist who could capture
with his paints some of the glories of my world. There
is not one musician who could record some of the glories
of the music sphere with your notes. There is not one
writer who could describe in physical words the beauty
of parts of this world. What a pleasant surprise you
will all have one day, when you become conscious of
our world." Life in the Beyond (Teachings
of Silver Birch).
AN EVIDENTIAL AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION

WHERE WOULD DICTATOR FIDEL CASTRO GO AFTER HIS CROSSING
OVER? It would appear
that Castro, like other dictators, is on record for
doing material 'good' on the one hand, but also accused
of much brutality on the other.
We are informed, directly from the afterlife, that using
torture and executions to maintain political power will
be regarded as violating spiritual laws, no matter what
the motive. Any dictator - Castro,
Hitler, Stalin - and others like them, who violates
spiritual laws, will pay the price for each person he
harmed. That is the Universal law of Cause and Effect
- no one, no Pope, no Rabbi, no Mullah, no spiritual
leader - NOBODY can ever change it.
We are told that they will need to seek forgiveness
from each person that they harmed, and work their way
slowly back to the light by selfless service.
WHY DO SOME SOULS REINCARNATE WHILE OTHERS DON'T?
The whole issue of reincarnation is highly
controversial, even among those who accept it. Evidential
medium and teacher Susanne Wilson claims that in the
spirit world reincarnation, like everything else, is
a matter of free will.
BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTION OF A BOY'S
CROSSING OVER Monsignor
Hugh Benson, speaking from the afterlife through medium
Anthony Borgia: "I perched myself
at
the foot of the lad's bed, and directed my gaze upon
him, and there were evident signs of his seeing me.
I smiled to him, and gently waved my hand to reassure
him. So far, things were proceeding very favorably—would
that all passings were as serene. The great moment in
the boy's life had now arrived. I moved to a position
at about the middle of the bed upon the side opposite
to Ruth. The boy had lapsed into a gentle sleep. As
he did so, his spirit body rose slowly above his inert
physical body to which it was attached by a bright silver
cord—the lifeline as it is termed. I placed my
arms beneath the floating form; there was the slightest
momentary twitch, the cord detached itself, retracted,
and disappeared. To the relatives in the bed-chamber,
the boy was 'dead' and 'gone'. To Ruth and me he was
alive and present."

1. Thank you Victor and Wendy, now I am only three weeks
behind in reports...thanks for all you do and the many
marvelous tracks you lead us down with your report. Karyn.
2. Thanks for all you do; your newsletter is truly always
a beacon in this worlds darkness. Carsten
3. Thank you for an excellent Afterlife report - the clip
of John Edward gaining support goes a long way to show
just how workers for the Spirit World face prejudice every
day - and the lesson from White Eagle on discrimination
is so important today - so many people do not know how
to choose fact from fiction, lies from truth - and the
virtue of discrimination is one of our greatest allies.

If I Can Dream
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true... right now
Let it come true right now
Oh, yeah
