COMMENTARY: WHY DO WE ALWAYS QUOTE FROM SILVER BIRCH? At a time when the media is globally pouring out the message "Be afraid, be very afraid" it is more important than ever for us to continually remind ourselves who we really are.
Silver Birch is a high-level spirit teacher who has earned the respect and love of millions who have been moved by the power, eloquence, and wisdom of the teachings he brought through trance medium Maurice Barbanell. The circle they sat for 61 years included the top mediums and researchers of British Spiritualism.
Silver Birch made it clear that he was not speaking as an individual - rather he was a the spokesperson for a vast group of high-level spirits "prophets, seers, sages, wise men of the East and the West, of high and low estate, philosophers of Greece and Rome, Syria, Chaldea, Persia and Babylon, mingled with those of later generations from Italy, France and Germany". Like many millions all over the world, we have found the books of Silver Birch to resonate as deepest truth and be a wonderful guide to spiritual laws and the purpose of life and the afterlife.
A TIMELY REMINDER FROM SILVER BIRCH
“An evolved spirit cannot be afraid at any time, because he knows that there is no experience that can come to him in any phase of life that he cannot master, for he is the Great Spirit. Fear creates its own prison for the soul. You must learn to rise above fear and not allow its vibrations to hinder you, to have perfect faith and confidence and trust, to know that you can stand on your feet and say:
'I am the Great Spirit and the wind of circumstance cannot shake me. I will rise triumphant over every difficulty because of the infinite power which is within my soul'. You have power over every circumstance. Would you limit the power of the infinite soul?" Silver Birch Anthology
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES - INVESTIGATING AN ENIGMA
This documentary produced in Belgium in 2020 begins by introducing an enthusiastic young doctor from Reims, France, who completed a PhD. on near-death experiences. Now a general practitioner, he claims that at least 4% of patients attending a general practice in France have had an NDE and that it is important for people to share their experiences to normalise them. In French with English subtitles.
'FLYING HIGH IN SPIRIT: A YOUNG SNOWBOARDERS ACCOUNT OF HIS RIDE THROUGH HEAVEN' This is Mikey Morgan's story of his death in a motor vehicle (SUV) accident, what he felt and saw, where he went from here, and how he discovered his true life plan and who he really was. Mikey describes in detail the dimensions of the afterlife, which are based on love, and how everything is energy. He explains in great detail how those on the other side give us signs and create synchronicities. He talks about his current activities in the spirit world which include snowboarding (hence the picture on the cover). The book was transmitted to his mother Carol Morgan, who is teaching other mothers how to use the same method to communicate with their children in spirit.
Carol will be our guest in the Global Gathering on Sunday 22nd August 2021 at 2 p.m. Pacific time. https://zoom.us/j/7595442928
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?
Mikey Morgan, the coauthor of the book featured above, describes what happened to him after he was killed in a car accident.
1) He was taken out of his body before the impact and watched the scene from above.
2) He soon became aware of an energy change: “Crazy tingling! Really a total head rush. I felt like I was everywhere! It was so easy to move.”
3) Next he became aware of spirits surrounding him:
“I realized that there were people appearing in the air around me. They were greeting me, loving me, and I was recognizing them and realizing that I knew them well, but I hadn’t seen them in a while.”
4) He felt a pull and was taken by his spirit friends to a different place: "As we moved, I realized that I no longer heard what was going on at the accident scene. I was coming into a place that was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. I had no fear or worry. It felt like home.” Read more in the preview
FROM SKEPTIC TO BELIEVER
Hadley Christine used to have doubts about whether there is an afterlife, but, after working as a hospice nurse she no longer does.
THE AFTERLIFE VIEWS OF SIR WILLIAM AND LADY BARRETT ( A DOCUMENTARY BY DR. KEITH PARSONS) One of the important historical figures in psychical research in England is Sir William Barrett FRS, an experimental physicist. Through many investigations he satisfied himself - and hoped to influence others, but found resistance - regarding not only the evidence for survival after death but also a wide range of other psychical phenomena. And through cooperation with Lady Barrett and the medium Gladys Osbourne Leonard, he also showed that post-mortem communication was possible from the Other Side. This documentary looks at the lives of this interesting & distinguished couple. Keith Parsons has made numerous 'afterlife evidence' videos and you can see his playlist here.
REVOLUTIONARY INSTRUMENTAL TRANS-COMMUNICATION: According to Mark Macy’s blog, Macy Afterlife: The Beacon, scientists working for the International Network for Instrumental Transcommunication (INIT) received from the afterlife:
• pictures of people and places in the afterlife on television that either appeared clearly on the screen and remained for at least several frames or which built up steadily into a reasonably clear picture over multiple frames
• text and/or picture files from people in the afterlife which appeared in computer memory or were planted on disk or similar recordable media
• text and/or images of people and places in the afterlife by way of fax messages.
Such contacts, which were received by European experimenters over a 10-year period and by researchers worldwide from 1995 through 1997, gave us a clear picture of life after death. Read more.
WHAT DREAMS HAVE COME
Stephen Simon, movie producer, author and co-founder of The Spiritual Cinema Circle, speaks with KAren Swain about his latest life chapter. On January 3, 2018, Stephen’s wife and love of his life, Lauren, suddenly passed away in her sleep. She was 54. Six weeks later, Lauren began to communicate with Stephen and in October of 2018 they started writing his self- published book "What Dreams Have Come; Loving Through The Veil".
LOVE IN THE AFTERLIFE I am living with my soul mate and love him dearly. Tell me, is there love in the afterlife? Is there romance? I'm very eager to know that.
Victor: Guaranteed, there will be love - and romance - on crossing over. Love, we are informed from the other side, is the most powerful force in the universe and physical death cannot destroy love. Soul mates - whose relationship is a spiritual heart-to-heart love-connection will continue their love in the afterlife dimension for a long, long time. During the 1990s information coming through the Luxembourg ITC communications confirmed "You do not put away your sexuality, as it is a truly human characteristic. Sexual partnerships exist, provided both partners harmonize and desire it." Read more...
ROBERT GINSBERG'S "THE MEDIUM EXPLOSION: A GUIDE FOR NAVIGATING THE WORLD OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD"

MECHANISMS FOR INFORMATION SIGNALLING IN THE UNIVERSE: THE INTEGRAL CONNECTIVITY OF THE FABRIC OF REALITY REVEALED This newly published paper (8th August 2021) by Dirk Meijer, Franco Ivaldi, José Faixat, and Adrian Klein, is part of a larger project concerning the structure of the world we live in and how we perceive it, the mysteries of how our Universe was born and how it will evolve in the far future. It supports the view "that human consciousness cannot be understood in a reductionist context, but that it is rather an expression of a cosmic modality or a universal consciousness".

HOW TO GO BEYOND THE FEARFUL THOUGHTS In this video, Eckhart Tolle answers how we transcend any fearful thoughts we might have about losing our job, money, getting sick or the fear of something happening to a loved one. He also shows us how we can turn our attention away from any fearful thinking and focus on the inner body and deepening into the present moment.
EVERY POSITIVE LOVING THOUGHT FALLS ON FERTILE GROUND "These times spent in silent communion together each day, radiating out to individuals and world situations, do help tremendously. Every positive loving thought falls on fertile ground and in time will germinate and grow and flourish. So never feel for a moment you are wasting time when you spend time radiating out in the silence; simply know that a tremendous work is being done and that you are helping to lift a soul or a situation into the light by your action." Eileen Caddy
WHO ARE YOU REALLY?
"Spiritual awakening occurs when we realize that who we are at the deepest level is something much bigger and more profound than who we thought we were. We see that our true nature is this kind of superconsciousness, intelligence, love, being, and presence that is at the foundation of reality itself.
This essence is already free and whole and perfect. Who we truly are is this sacred dimension of reality that is beyond comprehension. It’s missing nothing, lacking nothing, and so full that it endlessly overflows with goodness, love, wisdom, power, clarity, humility, strength, courage, and care.
The kind of spiritual awakening I’m talking about is not just the realization that God exists. It’s the realization that that is what we are. The thing we were always seeking and putting outside ourselves is actually our true nature. It’s what’s looking out through our eyes and always has been". Craig Hamilton. Read more.

Lyrics
You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing, you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Once I never could have hoped to win
You're starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now.
You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
