COMMENTARY: WHY THE EVIDENCE
FOR THE AFTERLIFE IS NOT JUST 'ANECDOTAL'
During
the forum I was in last week, I was shocked to hear
the uninformed lawyer for the Australian skeptics making
two wrong claims which skeptics often make.
The first is that the evidence for
the afterlife is purely anecdotal, which means a few
unnamed people sharing stories not representative of
the whole. This shows colossal ignorance of more than
a hundred and fifty years of systematic surveys, case
studies, experimental sittings with mediums under controlled
conditions and laboratory experiments undertaken by
some of the greatest scientists in the world, in many
different countries.
The
second is the claim that mediums like John
Edward rely on 'cold reading', guesswork and simply
tell the clients vague generalities, when many recent
experiments with good mediums show scientifically that
the results they achieve far exceed those that could
be arrived at by chance.
A rational and intelligent person who reads the evidence
presented in our
book would understand that both these arguments
are simply not tenable and that something else is going
on. I said many times that closed minded skeptics have
a huge problem accepting scientific evidence for the
afterlife and need to refine their capacity to allow
higher wisdom to be absorbed. Read
nine reasons why skeptics refuse to accept afterlife
evidence.
THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA EXPERIMENTS
WITH MEDIUMS Professor
Gary
Schwartz and colleagues at the University of Arizona
conducted a number of research studies with some of
the top mediums in the United States. These included
(in order of working with them) Laurie Campbell, John
Edward, Suzanne Northrop, George Anderson, Anne Gehmen,
George Dalzell, Allison Dubois, Catherine Yunt, Mary
Ann Morgan, Janet Mayer, Christopher Robinson, Traci
Bray, Sally Own, Mary Occhino, Debbie Martin, Doreen
Molloy, Sally Morgan, Robert Hansen and Angelina Diana.
Dr Schwartz writes:
"These mediums have been tested under experimental
conditions that rule out the use of fraud and cold reading
techniques commonly used by psychic entertainers and mental
magicians."
A video, made by HBO in 1999, shows Professor Schwartz
conducting experiments with five of the mediums. The subjects
were screened off from the medium's view and told to only
answer yes or no.
Here is part 4.
Next week we will look at other recent scientific
studies with mediums.
PARANORMAL PHONE CALLS
There have been many reports of people answering the telephone
(or mobile) and hearing the voice of someone they know
has died. Others have received a call and found out later
that the caller had died before the call was made. Parapsychologist
Scott Rogo and Raymond Bayliss spent two years investigating
and wrote a book "Phone
Calls from the Dead" about them in 1979. A more
recent book "Telephone
Calls from the Dead" by Callum Cooper came out
in 2012.
THE KONSTANTIN RAUDIVE PHONE CALLS In
1994 afterlife researcher George Meek received a phone
call from ITC researcher Konstantin Raudive (pictured)
who had died 20 years earlier in 1974. Raudive claimed
he had George's deceased wife, Jeanette, beside him. Fortunately
George had an answerphone attached to the line and was
able to hit the record button. Four other ITC researchers,
Mark Macy, Sarah Estep, Dr. Walter Uphoff and Hans Heckmann
(a close friend and colleague of George Meek) received
similar phone calls from Konstantin Raudive in the same
period. In each case the phone call mentioned the previous
phone call.

VERIFIABLE (VERIDICAL) EXPERIENCES DURING NDES
Some of the best evidence that the consciousness of a
person has really separated from their body during a NDE
is when they report seeing and hearing things that would
be impossible from the position of their body and those
observations are confirmed by others. A famous example
is the lady named Maria who reported seeing a worn dark
blue tennis shoe on the ledge outside a window on the
far side of the hospital (see
video).
A recent Dutch book by NDE researchers Titus Rivas, Anny
Dirven and Rudolf Smit details 78 cases of veridical perceptions
and other verified paranormal aspects of NDEs. IANDS
has organised a translation into English and editing is
well under way. There will be over 100 cases in the English
edition and it is expected that the book will be published
by July 2016. Your help will be needed to promote the
book. Read

NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE OF A TRAUMA NURSE
SOME LESSONS FROM NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES "We
came into this world to have trouble
and to learn from it. Unfortunately many people don't
realize this and complain about their bad luck and spend
their lives chasing pleasure, fame and money. Then they
die without making any spiritual progress. And so they
waste life after life. It should be obvious that all we'll
take with us is our character, our karma and our abilities,
and that we'll have to live with people like ourselves.
Therefore, our highest success would be to rise into the
highest heaven through unselfish love." (Near-death
experiencer Arthur Yensen)
CELEBRITIES WHO HAD PSYCHIC EXPERIENCES
Roger Moore (of James
Bond) confesses that he once saw a “misty substance”
floating across the bed. He was apparently awakened
at 2a.m. on two consecutive nights. He said the experience
“petrified” him. He never saw the misty
substance again after those experiences. But we give
him full credit for telling the world of these paranormal
experiences.
WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE? LESSONS FROM VIRTUAL REALITY
Physicist Tom Campbell argues that all
life is a 'virtual reality' system. When the 'character'
in a computer game is killed, nothing happens to the
consciousness of the person sitting behind the computer,
since the consciousness was never inside the character.
CHARMAINE WILSON - SIX SIGNS FROM SPIRIT Charmaine
is a well-known Australian medium, who has been consistently
recognized for her skill and compassion since awakening
to her gift in 1999. Read

QUESTION: Why is it difficult to remember sleep experiences
when we get out of our body? "When
your etheric soul-spirit body is released from its physical
body, you are freed from your own brain, which is your
limitation in the world of matter. The consciousness now
has experiences on our vibrations, according to your grade
of evolution, and it is conscious of its experiences whilst
it has them. But, when you go back to your body of matter
and try to capture the experiences of the spirit, you
cannot do so because one is greater that the other. The
smaller cannot hold the greater and you get distortion.
... But if your soul is already evolved and you have reached
an advanced state of consciousness, then you are aware
of the spirit realms. Then you can quite easily train
the brain to remember the afterlife dimension experiences."
Silver Birch.
WHEN HEALING IS NOT SUCCESSFUL
All healers say that that at times healing appears to
be 'unsuccessful' - their patient crosses over even with
a huge amount of healing. It may be that the soul's plan
is to exit at that particular time. Great afterlife teachers
inform us that the purpose of healing is primarily to
'first touch the soul of the patient'.
Says Siegel: “Three months after Bill had died of
his cancer, a young college student came to my office
to interview me. She said she’d been in a healing
circle the night before, and since they knew she was going
to see me the next day, the medium who was directing the
circle had asked if there was any message for me. She
handed me a card: ‘To Bernie from Bill with love
and peace. If I had known it was this easy, I’d
have bought the package a long time ago and wouldn’t
have resisted so much.’
When I called his wife, she said, ‘That’s
what he always told me after the meetings. He would attend,
but he said he couldn’t buy the package.’
. . . The people in the healing circle knew nothing about
who Bill was, yet there was the same phrase he and his
wife used. ‘Love and peace’ is the closing
I use for all my letters. Who else could this note be
from? How can I help but believe and share this belief
with others?”
DAVID THOMPSON'S BRILLIANT MATERIALIZATIONS
ARE
THE REAL DEAL We are very
fortunate today to have a physical medium with the ability
and dedication of David Thompson who travels the world
to demonstrate the rare phenomenon of materialization.
The testimonials and reports by knowledgeable investigators
on
his website speak for themselves. However every now
and then we come upon those who need to develop their
intelligence and modify their negative prejudices to allow
for higher wisdom to acquire the capacity to understand
higher truths.
David, a black belt karate expert and former police officer,
and I have recently been threatened by an yet another
uninformed ignorant closed minded skeptic - low-life claiming
we 'need to be investigated'. As some of you
know we have dealt with many extreme skeptics before.
Let intelligence and common sense over-ride bigotry and
prejudice.
FIVE STAR REVIEW OF OUR BOOK ON AMAZON
"I'm definitely a sceptic when it comes to pretty
much everything. I went online and started searching for
scientific evidence (of the afterlife) and stumbled across
Victor Zammit's book. I had been reading all kinds of
things before this and this book combined everything in
a easy to read and easy to verify format. I've checked
the background of every reference I could and so far everything
checked out enough for me to say that this is an awesome
book. The very fact that this could pass in a court as
a valid rebuttal to all of the arguments placed against
the psychic and afterlife phenomenon is relieving. I've
recommended this book to hundreds as a starter to discovery.
It has become my bible. Clinton

KINDNESS BLESSES THE DOER, THE
RECEIVER AND THE OBSERVER Dr.
Wayne Dyer claims that a simple act of kindness improves

1) Dear Victor, We placed your newsletter
on our website www.valeriebarrow.com
so many extra good videos and information. Had to share
- hope you are happy with it.
We do receive a lot of hits! Congratulations on your
work Valerie.
2) Thank you again Victor and Wendy. Yes, there's much
life out there on other planets. Our Kingsclere
Group has indeed communicated quite extensively
with other planetary dwellers; also ones now in spirit
associated with them. Some have visited Earth and they
built the original carefully placed PYRAMIDS, primarily
to generate their energy requirement. Those pyramids
still produce energy! And the energy beam that rises
from them is revealed by our RADAR. So this single fact
alone is the hardest of hard evidence for the existence
of others in the universe and of their visits here.
Yes? Keep up the good work ... George.
3) Dear Wendy and Victor, I have been a keen follower
of your weekly report for a numbers of years. I want
to say a huge thank you to the both of you for your
ongoing hard work /dedication on spreading the important
messages that we are more than our physical body. The
range of topics you raised really help widen our understanding
of this life and the afterlife, as well as the wider
implication of we are not alone in this ‘universe’.
On these topics, you may find Dolores
Cannon a regression therapist’s work highly
interesting too. Also Bruce
Moen of the Monroe Institute, someone who is like
Robert Monroe frequently explores the other states of
being while still in the physical.
Love and many blessing to you both.
