Last week's report and all previous reports

COMMENTARY: OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES AS AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE One thing that has changed in the last twenty years is the wider recognition of the importance to afterlife studies of out-of-body experiences.

Mediumship has been center-stage as evidence from the nineteenth century, and near-death experiences have hit mainstream awareness since the 1970s. But it is only recently that out-of-body experiences have moved beyond the fringes of "the occult." People are recognising the value of accounts of extended, sometimes hours-long, explorations of the astral world and interviews with its inhabitants. Amazon lists over 2,000 books by experiencers (see Bob Peterson's book reviews). There are dozens of online discussion groups (see list of facebook groups), and more than a hundred million answers to a search for videos on "how to have an out-of-body experience".

Many explorers are collaborating informally and confirming each others' observations. They are meeting deceased relatives, conversing with wise teachers, and learning first-hand about conditions in the astral and the higher worlds. Above all they are learning the importance of spiritual development.

So we were very pleased to see that Ian Lawton, in his new book 'AfterLife' (which does a brilliant job of assembling knowledge of what happens when we die), gives weighting to information obtained through out-of-body experiences along with that obtained through mediumship and near-death experiences. The good news is that the reports are remarkably consistent, both within and across each source of information.



FASCINATING DISCUSSION ON OUT-OF BODY EXPERIENCES AS EVIDENCE Canadian medium Brough Perkins interviews OBE explorer Bob Peterson on the need for scientific validation. Read his book Out of Body Experiences, How to Have them and What to Expect.





WE CAN ALL MAKE CONTACT WITH A CROSSED OVER LOVED ONE Directly from the afterlife: "... Now, this function of thought transference is not confined exclusively to inhabitants of the spirit world, nor are we the only people who are able to practise it. Every human being can do so. It is possible - and perfectly natural - for people still living in the earth world to direct their thoughts to some friend in the spirit world, and they are always doing so. If those thoughts are directed with the full intention, that they should be received by the person concerned, then received they will be, beyond any doubt whatever." Hugh Benson, through writing medium Anthony Borgia, FACTS '95 ed.p.55.



ALEX TANOUS: WONDERFUL PROOF THAT THE OBE IS REAL Alex Tanous (1926-1990) was a brilliant academic, teacher, psychic medium and healer who worked for many years with the American Society for Psychical Research on psychic experiments. He repeatedly confirmed the phenomenon of Out-of-Body Experiences with scientists Karlis Osis and Boneita Perskari. Read about the Alex Tanous Foundation for Scientific Research.





INCLUDE YOUR ABSENT LOVED ONES IN YOUR HOLIDAY Sheri Perl, creator of 'The Prayer Registry', has this advice for those whose loved ones have recently transitioned."On holidays and special occasions, set a place at the table or remember to make a toast to this person. Acknowledge the elephant in the room by bringing it right out into the open. If you're not afraid to talk about your loved one, friends and family won't be either. And if they are, at least you are setting the right example by putting your loved one front and centre."

She quotes Raymond, son of Sir Oliver Lodge, who died in World War I: "Father, tell mother she has her son with her all day on Christmas Day. There will be thousands of us back in the homes on that day, but the horrid part is that so many of the fellows don't get welcomed. Please keep a place for me."



DAN DRASIN TALKS TO CHICAGO IANDS
Filmmaker Dan Drasin has had a longstanding interest in paranormal phenomena and anomalous experiences. This started as a result of numerous precognitive dreams during his childhood. Dan eventually became a keen investigator of the UFO phenomenon and later developed an abiding interest in various facets of afterlife research. Since the passing of his former partner, Jane, in 2007, Dan has received a number of unmistakable communications from her.





WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE? A SPECIAL BOOK FOR GRIEVING PARENTS In Heaven's Gift, Judge Jasper Swain's son, Mike, communicates through trance medium Mrs. Nina Merrington. He gives a full description of his passing without pain in a motor vehicle accident, and of the world he found himself in. Highly recommended.

“Mike, tell me more about that world. How do you get there?” Where does it exist?”

“Dad, everyone comes here through the gates of death. You have to rearrange your values to appreciate its virtues, though! While you are still on earth, your thought, your intentions, everything you do, gives your soul a certain rate of vibration. For argument sake, let’s suppose your soul is vibrating in a fifty megacycle band. When you die and manifest here, you would go straight to the part of our world which vibrates at fifty megacycles".

U.S. NAVY TRAINING RECRUITS IN 6TH SENSE
Fifty years ago in Vietnam, Joe McMoneagle used his sixth sense to avoid stepping on booby traps, falling into punji pits, and walking into Viet Cong ambushes. His ability to sense danger was not lost on his fellow soldiers who had confidence in this subconscious ability and followed McMoneagle’s lead. In a life-or-death environment here was no room for skepticism - if it saved lives, it was real.
Could this ability be taught? In 2014, the Office of Naval Research embarked on a four-year, $3.85 million research program to explore the phenomena it calls premonition and intuition, or “Spidey sense,” for sailors and Marines. Read more.
