COMMENTARY: ASTROPHYSICIST CLAIMS THAT CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES MATTER Dr. Bernard Haisch, an astrophysicist, believes in the existence of God - not the God of religion portrayed as an old man with a long white beard, but as consciousness that has become the universe to experience itself.
His book 'The God Theory' (2009) claimed to show how you can and should be "a rational, science-believing human being and, at the same time, know that you are an immortal spiritual being, a spark of God." He claims to be putting forward "a world view that offers a way out of the hate and fear-driven violence engulfing the planet."
To make his argument more easily understood by a popular audience, Dr. Haisch joined with best-selling author Ptolemy Tompkins to write 'Proof of God' (2017). It is structured as a very personal discussion between a curious writer (Tompkins) and a scientist (Haisch) who sets forth the argument that, far from having disproved God’s existence, science has increasingly shown that God is, in fact, the best explanation so far found for the universe and everything in it.
QUOTES FROM DR. BERNARD HAISCH “It is not matter that creates an illusion of consciousness, but consciousness that creates an illusion of matter.”
“And the purpose is for God to experience his potential. God's ideas and abilities become God's experience in the life of every sentient being. What greater purpose could there be for each of us humans than that of creating God's experience? God experiences the richness of his potential through us because we are the incarnations of him in the physical realm.”
“What does have absolute meaning, however, is the way in which we treat others, including animals. We shape our universe by the love or malice, the compassion or indifference, we bring to our relationships with our fellow beings. Under the God Theory, the requirement that you treat others with respect and compassion is, for all practical purposes, a moral absolute, since all beings participate in the infinite consciousness that created them". More quotes.
TRICIA BARKER'S NDE While in hospital following a car accident, Tricia Barker had an NDE and saw how healing energies are channeled through doctors without them knowing. She met her grandfather, felt the effects of prayers, and understood that she should become a teacher.

JOHN EDWARD AND JOHN HOLLAND TALK ABOUT FACTS AND FICTION Psychic mediums John Holland and John Edward weed out the psychic "B.S" they see around them and some of the false ideas about the afterlife that are in circulation. John Edward says developing mediums need to surrender their ego and use psychic protection, meditation, and prayer.
AFTERLIFE COMMUNICATION: RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IN THE AFTERLIFE When a person stops using the body everything about his or her thoughts, attitudes, personality, and beliefs remains the same. Some retain their religious beliefs for years or decades.
The speakers in Leslie Flint seances describe people who cling to the religious beliefs which they held while on the Earth plane. They have not evolved spiritually to leave their beliefs behind, although Flint's guide, Dr. Marshal, assures us that they will eventually grow beyond them. Some are in groups waiting for the second coming of Christ when they will be caught up to heaven. Read more.
END OF LIFE DOULAS - GUIDING THEIR JOURNEY TO THE SPIRIT WORLD End of Life Doulas are an emerging role and complement the work of the nursing and medical communities as well as hospice palliative care workers. End of Life Doulas are advocates who assist in creating and carrying out health care treatment decisions for their clients while providing support to their clients' family and friends. Indigenous doulas in Canada often support community-specific traditional practices and protocols when requested by the individual and family.
QUESTION: DO WE LOSE OUR INDIVIDUALITY IN THE AFTERLIFE?
Victor: Not according to Mons. High Benson, a highly credible afterlife teacher, who writes: "As we progress and advance from realm to realm, we retain our individuality as well as the outward form and features by which we are recognised. The light which bespeaks (shows) our spiritual elevation may become more intense, but never so much as to submerge, beneath its power and brilliance, that which is our very personality". Anthony Borgia "Heaven and Earth".
UNCOUPLED - DEALING WITH THE DEATH OF A SPOUSE A sensitive series of interviews with four bereaved spouses who discuss what has helped them and ways they honor and keep connections with the memories of their spouses.
SEEING IN FULL COLOUR This video shows what various scenes look like to those who are colour-blind. Once they are given special enchroma glasses, they say that they have entered a whole new world. Near-death experiencers are similarly overwhelmed by the magnificence of the colours they encounter in the middle and higher astral worlds.
ENHANCED PERCEPTION IN THE HIGHER REALMS Out-of-body explorer Jurgen Ziewe agrees about expanded perception of colours - but goes even further.
"Every sensory facility is greatly enhanced, but we will find that emotions have a much greater range, often with many more nuances of joy or other positive feelings, which makes the experience here so distinguished from everything we have ever known. A much broader range of colours with hues we never knew existed can be perceived and the same applies to sound as well as other perceptions, including smell and taste. We will simply have greater direct access to the intrinsic energy that is manifested in the objects of the world surrounding us, so when we look at a stone we will connect to the energy of the stone with its unique aura and consequently the whole world surrounding us comes to life, is lit up from within and may respond to us as we pass.” Excerpt from book: “Vistas of Infinity - How to Enjoy Life When You Are Dead." (Jurgen Ziewe, 2015)

DO ALL ANIMALS SURVIVE DEATH?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions about the afterlife. Information that pets that have been loved while on earth survive in the afterlife has come from every country – through near-death experiences, mediumship, after-death contacts etc. It has been repeated over time and space. Silver Birch tells us that loving your pet raises its vibrations so it can join you in the sphere where you are. All animals survive, we are told, but in their own areas. It is interesting to note that while Christianity has traditionally taught that animals do not survive death that may be changing. Some 60 "well-known Christian teachers" have stated their own belief that animals go to heaven in this book.

"Thank you for the Friday report, and the great work you do. This time I loved the stories of the wonderful Brazilian physical medium and Luis Sergio Marotta who runs a Youtube channel called Spirit Connections. I have enjoyed the talks we had together - he is a man with great knowledge. Also Sandra and Robin Foy their research and their work carried out. It is great to read and refresh these stories of their work. It is always good to read the Friday report and I wish to thank you for the work you carry out to give knowledge to all of us. Marion.
BRILLIANT,
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC
The theme song for the 1988 Seoul Olympics 'One Moment in Time' is an anthem for believing in yourself against all the odds and seizing the moment to live your destiny. This version is sung by the late great and unforgettable Whitney Huston. As one reviewer wrote: "this '89 Grammy job is not only Houston's finest moment, but it's probably the best live vocal performance ever put to tape, in any genre, by anyone".
Lyrics Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown I broke my heart
For ev'ry gain
To taste the sweet
I faced the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment in time
I will feel
I will feel eternity I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid my plans
Now, lay the chance
Here in my hands Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment in time
I will feel
I will feel eternity You're a winner
For a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
