COMMENTARY: TERRORISM and SPIRITUALITY
During the recent London
Bridge atrocity and
other acts of terrorism we heard of terrorists killing
innocent people screaming "I kill you in the name
of God". Mentioning the name of God when committing
a most fundamental crime like murder shows a total misunderstanding
and distortion of spirituality. In absolute terms one
can never be spiritual when committing a hate crime -
the two are fundamentally irreconcilable and inconsistent.
There can never be any negativity, any hatred, any cruelty
- no matter how minor it may be - in spirituality. Kevin Williams, creator of the highly recommended
website near-death.com
has extracted some of the key things that near-death experiencers
say they learned about religion. It
makes great reading.
"How
are we saved? By unselfish love. When we love unselfishly,
our vibrations are so high that the only place we'll fit
into is heaven. There is no other place we can go if we
want to. This is divine justice because it gives all the
people who ever lived, as well as all the higher animals
who know right from wrong, an equal chance to eventually
attain internal harmony which will fit them into some
kind of heaven - regardless of their intelligence, education,
indoctrination, ignorance, wealth or poverty." (Arthur
Yensen)

FEEDBACK TO SONIA AND SANDRA
Betty Anne Millar writes:
"Sandra, Thank You for interviewing this precious
lady. It gave me great joy. Sonia, I will be forever grateful
to you for the photo you sent me of my Husband
from The OTHER SIDE in 2014. He looks the same as he did
when he was 35 years old, he passed at 77 years. I would
recognize his eyes anywhere in The Universe. I am grateful
to Sheri Perl and Vicki Talbott for sending his voice
from The North American Station to you to amplify. The
word MURRAY is unequivocally his voice. Thank you
for your enormous contribution to Humanity on Earth and
to our Loved Ones on The Other Side."

BOB MONROE'S OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES
He was one of the first
people back in the 1950s to organise scientific studies
on consciousness. Through his out of body experiences
he gained a knowing, through experience as opposed to
belief, that we survive physical death. He describes how
we arrive as an alien vortex of energy to earth, that
our purpose here is to learn not only spiritual lessons
but also to evaluate things intellectually and to analyse.
The
Monroe Institute, which he founded, remains an important
center of research.
BRILLIANT MEDIUMSHIP CONVINCES
MINISTER David Kennedy
was a successful consulting
engineer before he gave up his career and went back
to university to study to become a minister in the Church
of Scotland. Once he was ordained, his scientific background
and logical mind, his deep sincerity and outstanding
gift of oratory ensured that he became one of Scotland’s
most widely known ministers. However he did not believe
in communication through mediums. That was until he
received remarkable evidence of the survival of his
wife through medium Albert Best. Read

THOMAS EDISON USED MEDIUMS TO TRY TO CREATE HIS SPIRIT
PHONE Author, publisher
and publishing agent Bill Burns talks about Edison's
search to contact other dimensions electronically by
asking spirits to interrupt a photon beam. He describes
a chapter from Edison's journal which was left out of
the English publication because of opposition from Fundamentalist
Christians. He claims it was finally published in a
French edition. (If anyone can recognise the voice of
the interviewer please let us know).
THOSE WHO CROSS OVER WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE "You can well imagine
our joy, indeed, heart-felt jubilation, when we go to
meet some soul who has knowledge of the spirit world,
of its truths and laws, and has practised communication
with other folk in these realms. Never is our work so
easy and so felicitous
as upon such occasion. Most important of all, never
is transition so pleasant for the principal person concerned
than when all these conditions prevail. Indeed, there
is very little for us to do actively in such cases.
We merely rejoice with our new friend. Such instances
are almost a holiday for us!" Mons. Hugh Benson.
ELVIS AFTER LIFE
According to Raymond Moody,
there have been many cases of Elvis, after his death,
providing comfort and assistance to people in need,
and influencing their lives. Whether it was in the form
of an after-death communication (ADC) - or what was
called in the media an "Elvis sighting" -
or in the form of being the greeter in a near-death
experience, NDE expert Raymond Moody presents his findings
into this phenomenon of spiritual Elvis encounters and
how the people who experienced them fervently believed
their experience was real. Read

GIVE ADVICE TO YOUNG MEDIUMS
BELIEF IN AFTERLIFE FOR ANIMALS
IS GROWING Although there
is clear variation in beliefs
between people of different demographics, a significant
number of people do believe that animal lives really are
every bit as sacred as their own. A recent study, which
surveyed 800 U.S. participants, found that 45 percent
of pet owners believed in animal afterlife (compared to
only 37.8 percent of non-pet owners). Of those who believed
in a human afterlife, 75 percent believed in animal afterlife
as well. Women, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Black/African
Americans, Buddhists, people living in the South, and
pet owners are all more likely to believe in animal afterlife.

MEDITATION: A WAY TO INNER PEACE
Meditation
has nothing to do with religion. In fact, it is a way
to calm and relax all the muscles from head to toe, and
to clear the mind to reach total calmness. Once we can
quiet the muscles and the mind, we can get rid of stress
and anxiety. At a higher level, meditation is used to
connect with the divine for greater spirituality, guidance
and direction. It is very important to find some quiet
time during the day to do meditation. Guaranteed, over
time you will be much more able to control the mind, attain
more relaxation and even find more inner peace.
UNEXPLAINED GENIUSES? QUESTION
Is there any explanation for infant prodigies - those
very highly gifted children?
There appears to be three kinds: 1. Some highly gifted children are incarnated
souls with a memory of past experiences. 2. Others are mediums subject to spirit
influence - where
advanced knowledge and wisdom is transmitted even unconsciously
by highly advanced spirits - e.g. Mozart. 3. The others are geniuses who are advance
guards of evolution.
THE POWER OF LOVING VIBRATIONS
The groundbreaking work
of pioneer Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto (1943-1914)
made people think differently about water and the power
of thoughts and words to influence the physical world.
FEEDBACK:
(one only). Hello Victor and Wendy!
Love what you two are doing! I literally discovered you
last month, and so far I've already listened to several
of your interviews on various podcasts. I really appreciate
your background, approach and passion concerning these
very important topics. You two are doing amazing work.
Anyway, throughout the years I was a
Pastor, Apologist, Evangelist, Missionary--you name
it--I was heavily involved in ministry. But several
years ago I eventually let go of my religion (it's a
long story) ... and a lot has changed.
I have a
Youtube channel that documents my journey which
has over 2 million views. I've
been training people in healing for the past 11 years
(I suffered a lot physically several years ago), and
I've always been interested in afterlife topics, ever
since I can remember. But it's only recently that I've
been speaking more publicly about it on my channel.
HIGHLY INSPIRED MUSIC
Snatam Kaur is an American singer, peace activist
and author, raised in the Sikh and Kundalini Yoga tradition.
She has an amazing ability to transform traditional
Sikh chants of India into a contemporary sound that
appeals to the modern ear and awakens an ancient yearning
in the soul. Listening to her is like a meditation.
