COMMENTARY: AVOID
THE TRAP - WE ARE NOT BELIEVERS, WE ACCEPT THE EVIDENCE
We receive emails from people
asking for assistance to suggest ways to tell their
skeptical loved ones about the afterlife. First, I suggest
that you agree with them that it's important to be an
open-minded skeptic and to be willing to test any claims
that people make.
While there are a few people who are irrationally skeptical,
the vast majority are simply not aware of the vast amount
of evidence for the afterlife that has been accumulated
by some of the most brilliant people who ever lived.
At the same time, they have probably grown up with an
education system and mainstream media which is totally
materialistic, and dismisses, and even ridicules, anything
paranormal.
One way is to point out that in the last hundred and
fifty years there has been an accumulation of evidence
for the afterlife which has never been disproved. Encourage
them to look at some of the videos and resources we
include in the Friday Afterlife Report. You can also
mention that whereas religion relied on 'faith' and
'belief', nowadays accepting the evidence for the afterlife
has nothing to do with belief. That is hugely important
because there are many skeptics who mistakenly say that
those who accept the afterlife are 'believers', implying
that they have not given the matter any serious investigation.
Do not fall for that one.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PRESENTATION
ON EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE
This presentation is well worth watching in full - even
in segments.
3.30 - 14.18 Bruce Greyson, evidence
from NDEs
A brilliant articulate summary.
16.20 - 27.33 JIm Tucker, children's
past life memories. Best cases.
29.00 - 37.00 Emily Kelly, deathbed
visions.
38.00 - 1.00.00 Questions and answers.
1.00.00 - 1.09.00 Kim Penberthy, how
meditation leads to amazing psychic/afterlife experiences.
1.10.00 - 1.29 Edward Kelly, psi research
and the failure of scientific materialism. He claims
that Western science is at a major turning point in
intellectual history and is close to rejecting materialism.
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
OF AMERICAN VETERANS Dr.
Diane Corcoran, president of IANDS,
talks about the needs of veterans who have NDEs. In
the second half, experiencer Robert Caplan talks about
his NDE experience while in the Navy.
QUANTUM PHYSICIST SAYS AFTERLIFE CONSISTENT WITH QUANTUM
PHYSICS Prof.
Fred Alan Wolf says: "There
is evidence that suggests the existence of a non-material,
non-physical universe that has a reality even though
it might not as yet be clearly perceptible to our senses
and scientific instrumentation. When we consider out
of body experiences, shamanic journeys and lucid dream
states, though they cannot be replicated in the true
scientific sense, they also point to the existence of
non-material dimensions of reality."
If you scroll past all the adverts, this is a
great article on Fred. who lost a son at age 25
and said "I've had a number of deaths, and a number
of -- let's call it "visits" of certain kinds."
He also said "there are a number of really good
scientists out there who have had these kinds of experiences
but will not talk about them -- they like to keep their
science in one pocket and their spiritual beliefs in
a whole other pocket."
CARING
FOR DYING LOVED ONES DURING SOCIAL DISTANCING American
hospice pioneer Barbara Karnes (see above) is the author
of Gone
From My Sight: The Dying Experience. It is well known
in end of life education as “The Little Blue Book.”
This was the first and remains the most widely used patient/
family booklet on the signs of approaching death. She
suggests how it and other publications can be used at
this time in her
recent post.
FASCINATING STORIES OF PRE-BIRTH MEMORIES
Can babies come back to the same family
after a miscarriage? Listen to the story of a 3-year-old
girl told who told her mother that she had been in her
mummy's tummy but decided that the time wasn't right to
be born. Twelve months later it was, and she was again
conceived. This story appears in print in the book "Cosmic
Cradle: Spiritual Dimensions of Life before Birth,"
by Elizabeth Carman, Ph.D, and Neil Carman, Ph.D.
MORE INSIGHTS ABOUT THE DUPLICATE
OF THE PHYSICAL BODY "when
the body sleeps, the spirit body temporarily withdraws
from it while still remaining connected to it by a magnetic
cord [the silver cord]. This cord is the veritable life-line
between the spirit body and the earth body.
The spirit thus situated will either
remain in the vicinity of the earth body, or it will
gravitate to that sphere which its earthly life, so
far, has entitled it to enter. The spirit body with
all consciousness and mind, will thus spend part of
the lifetime of the earthly body in spirit lands, visiting
our loved ones and others we know." (Mons. Hugh
Benson Life in the World Unseen).
RARE PHOTO OF A SILVER CORD
At the bottom of the photo, you can see the silver cord
coming out of scientist George Meek's physical body,
which now looks transparent (you can see the chair through
his leg). His spirit body (out of sight behind the camera)
is still attached to the physical body. The photo was
taken in a room where there was no visible light. Read
technical details.
COSMIC MEMORY: MATIAS DE STEFANO'S MEMORIES FROM OTHER
DIMENSIONS
Jannecke Øinæs (Wisdom from
North) interviews Matías
De Stefano, who was born in Argentina in 1987. He
claims that, from the moment of his birth, he remembered
everything he did before this incarnation and could
understand how the Universe works.
"UNDERSTANDING LIFE AFTER
DEATH" Wendy
and I thoroughly recommend Understanding
Life After Death. Cyrus Kirkpatrick writes
in an easy to read, personal and conversational style,
which is very engaging. His grasp of the evidence for
the afterlife is impressive, as is his ability to penetrate
the arguments of the pseudo-skeptics. His book contains
excellent sections on the evidence for mediumship, near-death
experiences, Leslie Flint, and his own experiences of
out-of-body travel. As a young tech-savvy, college-educated,
globe-trotting writer, journalist, and film maker, his
is a wonderful fresh voice in the field of afterlife
research. The book would be a wonderful gift for a college-age
friend or relative to counter the skepticism that pervades
academia. Check
out the contents.
Cyrus also makes regular videos about his travels and
thoughts on all things afterlife - see
his Youtube channel.
WE ALL HAVE A SPIRITUAL GUARDIANWe
have repeatedly been informed directly from the afterlife
that we do have a protector or guardian while we live
on planet earth. Whilst the role of the protector is
to protect us, he/she is also responsible for helping
us to fulfill our life plan. However the protector does
not interfere when we exercise our free will. "Your
spirit-protector is obliged to watch over you, because
he has accepted that task; but a spirit is allowed to
choose his ward among the beings who are sympathetic
to him. In some cases, this office is a pleasure; in
others, it is a mission or a duty." (Allan
Kardec, The Spirits' Book)
DIVALDO FRANCO - A MEDIUM IN
THE BRAZILIAN SPIRITIST TRADITION is
perhaps the most influential figure in Spiritism today.
Like Chico Xavier, 93-year-old Divaldo Franco is a brilliant
psychic and medium. To date, he has written, in automatic
writing, more than 250 books, by 211 authors now in
spirit. The proceeds from the sale of his books and
lectures go to charitable work, including his centre,
which has helped more than thirty-five thousand children
in Salvador da Bahia, a city on the northeast coast
of Brazil.

IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE "When
I asked God, in my moment of earnest and deep yearning,
why my life was not working, God said, “That’s
easy. You think your life is about you.”
I was made to understand that my life had nothing to
do with me, but rather, with everyone whose life I touched—
and with how I touched them."
Neale Donald Walsch
SELFLESS SERVICE IS A KEY PART
OF ALL RELIGIONS While
many people in the West are familiar with Christian-based
charities, Sikhs serving free meals to the needy may
be something new. In the Sikh religion, one part of
the core teachings is selfless service, and, wherever
Sikhs have settled, you will find community kitchens
with meals prepared and served by volunteers, some of
whom may not be Sikhs. This video shows how Sikhs around
the world are responding to the pandemic. Read more
about Sikhism.

1) I can't wait to see my loved ones in spirit again
and hug each of my beloved animals. Thank you, Victor
and Wendy, for all that you do. Linda
2) What an inspired choice of inspirational music! (Here
Comes the Sun). Keep safe and well. Alex
3) Theresa Caputo was my late beloved friend and co-author
Anny Dirven's favorite TV-medium: Being quite psychically
gifted herself, Anny felt Caputo certainly was "the
real deal."

INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: LOVE IS
MY RELIGION
We are told that in the higher realms of the afterlife,
there are no religions as we know them - only love.
Whilst we encourage and we publish many
papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are
not in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims.
We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal
research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
