COMMENTARY: THE RIGHT WAY TO TEST A PSYCHIC Chris
Robinson claims that his friends in the spirit world
give him specific information in his dreams about what
is going to happen in the future He has worked with
London police on several cases involving terrorists
and is called The
Dream Detective.
But when one high profile skeptic set up a test of Chris'
abilities for a tv program, he did not test his ability
to foretell the future. Instead, he selected three objects
that had been used in a crime, put them in boxes marked
A, B, and C, and asked Chris, in front of an audience,
to tell him what each object had been used for. When
Chris performed according to chance, the skeptic claimed
he had 'debunked' Chris.
Chris rightly complained that this was a totally unfair
test - like asking a champion Olympic weight lifter
to compete in the 100 meters freestyle swimming.
Professor
Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona was far more
professional when Chris traveled to the USA to be tested
in 2001. He asked Chris himself to devise an objective
way to measure his abilities. He then ran the tests
over 10 days, where he could observe Chris in action
in a relaxed and friendly environment. He also had the
tests monitored by a magician to make sure that there
was no way that the results could have been achieved
by cheating. The results? A staggering 100% success.
Skeptics claimed that Professor Schwartz used poor methodology.
Fortunately, we have the video, Premonition Man (produced by our good friend
Jon Beecher of Whitecrow Books) which is now on Youtube
- see below. You be the judge. Chris will be speaking
about the tests this weekend at the 43rd
SPR International Annual Conference.
THE ARIZONA EXPERIMENTS WITH CHRIS ROBINSON
This video (Part 5 of 7) explains how the tests were
run and the results achieved.
INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR GARY
SCHWARTZ ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TESTS
Gary Schwartz seems to have been impressed by a lot
of his incidental experiences with Chris.
THE INCREDIBLE DIVALDO FRANCO
Now 92 years old, he still travels the world lecturing
about Spiritism. The summary of his work (translated
from Portuguese) is breathtaking and incredibly inspirational.
It will leave you stunned that a medium could achieve
so much in one lifetime. Here are just a few statistics:
* demonstrated mediumship from age 4
* devoted to humanistic causes from age 16
* gave 7,793 lectures in Brazil and 3,410 lectures abroad
(5 continents, 64 countries).
* traveled outside Brazil 643 times.
* psychographed 290 books with 217 Communicating Spirits
which were translated into 17 languages and sold 8,766,443
copies.
* set up a huge network of social service facilities
for the poorest of the poor. Read

NEW FILM: DIVALDO, MESSENGER
OF PEACE
Here's the trailer for the new film which
opened in Brazil last week.
So far only in Portuguese, but we can live in hope of
other translations.
WHY IS THE AFTERLIFE LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER? Afterlife
researcher Michael
Tymn writes a compelling explanation of the difficulties
in communicating with spirits on different levels in
the afterlife. This is based upon the explanation of
Imperator, the leader of a group of higher level teachers
in spirit, who guided British medium Stainton
Moses. If you are interested in finding out in what
ways the Eiffel Tower is like the Afterlife environment,
why a medium cannot locate the debris field of Malaysia
Airlines Flight 370, and why overcoming adversity is
the best way to learn and spiritually evolve,

MICHELLE WHITEDOVE STUNS IN PSYCHIC
CHALLENGE The video we
shared last week of the UK's Diane Lazarus completing
a psychic challenge made us remember the stunning performance
of Michelle Whitedove on Lifetime TV's 'America's Psychic
Challenge 2011'.
ACADEMIC JOURNAL PUBLISHES WORK
ON A ZETA SPEAKING THROUGH A MEDIUM
William
Treurniet, who spent several years recording
information about the Zetas, writes "I am pleased
to tell you that some of the information I accumulated
from the extraterrestrial Zeta beings speaking through
the medium, Paul Hamden, has been published in an academic
journal. The article is on the cosmology of the extraterrestrial
Zeta race; it was published in the Journal of Consciousness
Exploration & Research, 10(6):454-474."
Here's a pdf

HAVE WE REACHED A TURNING POINT
ON UFOs? The
recent UFOLOGY
WORLD CONGRESS held in Barcelona on 6th, 7th and
8th September 2019 saw the appearance of high profile
physicist, Michio Kaku. He claimed “We’ve
reached a turning point; It used to be that believers
had to prove that these objects were from an intelligent
race in outer space. Now the burden of proof is on the
government to prove they’re not from intelligent
beings in outer space.”
While the majority of speakers said ETs were
coming in peace, sadly there were one or two promoting
fear and aggression toward UFOs and ETs, something Stephen
Greer has repeatedly warned will happen. Read
report on the Congress.
MEDIUM SUZANNE GIESEMANN ON WHAT OUR LOVED ONES ARE
DOING IN THE AFTERLIFE Evidential medium
and spiritual teacher, Suzanne
Giesemann, shares evidence from those who have passed
to the other side - evidence of their experiences, evidence
of their joy, evidence that all is well.
Suzanne feel strongly that the ability to receive guidance
from spirit helpers and loved ones is part of every
soul. To help us all to open to, or refine, our mediumship
capabilities, she is going to share an easy practice
in a free video event. This will take place on Saturday,
October 5. Read more and Register

MAJOR FUNDRAISER FOR SONIA RINALDI Brazilian
afterlife researcher Sonia Rinaldi is receiving voices
and images of deceased loved ones (like the picture
of Tatiana on the left) through electronic devices.
Read
more and see examples. Earlier this
year Dr. Craig Hogan, founding president of AREI, estimated
what would be needed to professionally present Sonia's
work to the world - see
estimates.
Supporters of Sonia's work have come together in a major
campaign to raise funds for a crew to travel to Brazil
and create a film about her work - past and present
- as well buying Sonia new equipment. Videographer
Robert Lyon and Sandra
Champlain, have created a
Kickstarter campaign which offers some interesting
gifts to those who pledge support.
THE
AREI SOUL SUMMIT WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS The
feedback we are getting is that it was stunning. Kathleen
Malone and Susanne Wilson did a fabulous job putting
it together, the presenters and mediums were brilliant,
and the attendees were wonderful. Many great reunions
with loved ones in spirit occurred. In the video below,
Kathleen Malone recommends the Afterlife Zoom Groups
as a way of staying connected and maintaining the energy
that was generated during the Summit.
NEXT WEEK'S ZOOM GROUPS
GLOBAL GATHERING
Our guest speaker on the Global Gathering will be Suzi
Smith, who recently wrote to a grieving parent: "I,
too, lost a son to suicide. I now work as a volunteer
counselor to other parents who have lost children. Many
of those are to suicide. I am at a place in my life
where I no longer feel pain, guilt, or remorse. I miss
my son, but my mission now is to help others get where
I am, which is at peace." Suzi will be telling
her story about how the loss of her son led to her knowledge
of an afterlife and about how deciding to help others
saved her and fast tracked her healing. Sunday

THE KINDNESS DIARIES The Kindness Diaries is a documentary television
series on Netflix and
in book form..
The documentary series stars former broker Leon Logothetis
and debuted in 2017. He travels around the world, relying
only on the kindness of strangers for food, shelter,
and gasoline. In Season 1 (see
list of 13 episodes) he uses a vintage Chang Jiang
motorcycle and sidecar he calls Kindness 1. In season
2 (also
13 episodes) he uses a vintage Volkswagen Beetle
convertible, which he names Kindness 2 and travels from
Alaska to Argentina. A third series is in production.
Read more on Leon's
website and his Facebook page.
In this video, Leon Logothetis shares his amazing story
and reminds us about the life-changing power of real
human connection and simple acts of generosity. This
was filmed at an Action for Happiness event in London
on 6 Nov 2017
FOREVER
FAMILY FOUNDATION ONLINE SEMINAR On
Wednesday September 25th The
Forever Family Foundation is holding an online seminar
featuring Dr. Betty Kovacs. She will be talking about
her soon to be released book, Merchants
of Light. The book details how the knowledge
about consciousness and life after death that was taught
in the ancient mystery schools was lost for centuries
and only now is being rediscovered. Bob Ginsberg has
invited our readers to attend without charge using
this link.
1) 'I loved the story about Diane Lazarus
who found the man hidden in seven minutes (two minutes
more than the sniffer dog!!!). Wow it's impressive that
this is on British television now, no? Thank you so
much for all this great stuff, Wendy and Victor!' Maria
2 ) 'I have always wanted a copy of the psychic parrot
video. Saw Rupert give this same talk when I had him
up to the SSPR. It is priceless.' Tricia Robertson.
3) 'Thanks for including Sheri Perl’s presentation
on how to record EVP on your computer. It works really
well and is better than using a recorder and then downloading.'
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC - FOOD
FOR THE SOUL: TONIGHT I HOLD THIS CANDLE One
of Alan Pederson's songs available on his album "A
Little Further Along the Road." It is often used
as a closing ritual in bereaved parents' support groups.
Lyrics
Tonight I hold this candle In memory of
you
Hoping someway, somehow, my love will shine through.
I close my eyes lost in the glow
There are so many things I want you to know.
Chorus:
This candle says I love you - This candle says I miss
you.
This candle is saying I remember you.
When I'm holding it toward heaven,
It feels like you are near.
If you're looking down tonight,
And see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.
In the glow of this candle I can almost see your smile
And it carries me away for a little while
To another time, another place
When all it took to light up my world was your beautiful
face.
Chorus
Someday, someway I'll see you again
I'll hold you in my heart until then.
This candle says I love you - This candle
says I miss you.
This candle is saying I remember you.
When I'm holding it toward heaven,
It feels like you are near.
If you're looking down tonight
And see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.
