COMMENTARY: WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE Many people who have spontaneous
experiences with afterlife communication or expanded states
of consciousness do not talk about them for fear of being
thought crazy.
However, we now understand that these
experiences are incredibly common. Various
studies have shown that around 30% of people say they
have had contact with someone who had died. With widows
and widowers, the figure is closer to 50%. And approximately
40% of people have had experiences of "light"
or "oneness with all life".
Clearly,
there is a need to educate everyone that normal, healthy,
and well-functioning people can have profound spiritual experiences and contact with those in the afterlife.
Truth must always rise above ignorance and prejudice. As we saw in an item in last week's report this is one of the aims of IANDS, the
International Association for Near-Death Studies.
AFTER-DEATH CONTACTS AND GRIEF THERAPY Many people are suffering debilitating grief compounded by the anxiety and circumstances of the current pandemic. Recently Michelle Szabo, Dr. Dennis Grega, and Dr. Jane Bissler set out to find out how many people are having after-death contacts, and whether this is accommodated in current grief therapy. They would love to have your input on your after-death contacts and experience with grief therapy at tinyurl.com/afterlifesurvey.

THE SOUL CAN CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE BODY BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT Dr. Robert Crookall was a British university lecturer and geologist who became a well- known investigator of out-of-body experiences (OOBEs or astral projection). He writes: "Our soul-consciousness is very much ahead of our physical-consciousness. So, when instant death occurs through an accident, the soul is aware of what is about to happen a split second before the impact occurs and leaves the body. The soul having left, no pain is felt...These sudden transitions appear tragic and ghastly to the onlooker, but to the person who has just died, death is always wonderful."

YOU HAVE WINGS. LEARN TO USE THEM AND FLY
"You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly". ~ Rumi
HOW TO ASTRAL PROJECT IF YOU'RE BAD AT MEDITATION Many people struggle to experience astral projection states, but you don't have to be a guru at meditation to astral project. In this video, Cyrus Kirkpatrick explains how he does it. View all his videos.
WHAT IS TRANSFIGURATION MEDIUMSHIP? This
is another type of physical mediumship.
The spirit helpers visibly alter the medium's body. Sometimes
they take ectoplasm from the body of the medium and lay
it a few centimeters in front of the medium's face like
a mask. Spirits who wish to be seen project their faces
into the ectoplasm. Usually, this takes place with a low
red light shining under the medium's chin, or in candle
light however some transfiguration mediums can demonstrate
in daylight. Sometimes they make the medium taller or
in the case of physical
medium Gordon Garforth they make one hand bigger than
the other. Read
more about transfiguration mediumship.
GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS
PROJECT Can human beings influence machines with their
thoughts? And does the collective mind of humanity have
foreknowledge of major events? For the first time, we have
evidence that suggests just that.
THE SALVATION CONSPIRACY-HOW HELL
BECAME 'ETERNAL In an appendix
in a wonderful
FREE online book Rev. Ken Vincent argues:
a). For the first 500 years of Christianity,
Christians and Christian theologians were broadly Universalist
(believing that all people are destined to eventually
go to heaven).
b). Mistranslation of the word "eon" in Scriptures
from Greek to Latin contributed to the reinterpretation of
the nature of Hell.
c). The merging of Church and State fostered the corruption
of Universalist thought.
d). Modern archeological findings and Biblical scholarship
confirm Universalist thought among early Christians.
e). Contemporary Christian scholars find Universalist
theology most authentic to Jesus. Read

CELEBRITIES WHO ACCEPTED THE PARANORMAL Mae West was a very well-known Hollywood star who wrote and appeared in plays and films from the 1920s to the 1970s. She was also one of the first stars to publicly support psychics and mediums.
She wrote about regularly visiting highly gifted direct-voice medium Leslie Flint. Psychic medium, Kenny Kingston, claims that he knew her as a child and that she was highly psychic herself. He says that she encouraged him to develop the ability to listen to a person's voice and pick up psychic vibrations. Read more.

PHYSICIST LEARNS TO FORGIVE TO SAVE HIS OWN LIFE At age 42, Lester Levenson, a physicist and successful entrepreneur, was at the pinnacle of worldly success, yet he was an unhappy, very unhealthy man. His doctors sent him home to die after he had his second heart attack.
Lester realised his emotions were making him sick. He began a self-investigation by asking himself what he wanted out of life. His answer was happiness. He realised that negative emotions made him unhappy and that he felt happiest when he was loving rather than being loved. He developed the 'Sedona Method', a technique for letting go of negative emotions that is still being taught today. See this example of how the technique works.
Within 3 months, he had become healthy again and claimed that he entered a state of profound peace, which he sustained until he died, another 43 years later. Read his bookNo Attachments, No Aversions.
DOING TIME DOING VIPASSANA This is the story of an ancient meditation technique named Vipassana, which shows people how to take control of their lives and channel them toward their own good. It is the story of a strong woman named Kiran Bedi, the former Inspector General of Prisons in New Delhi, who strove to transform the notorious Tihar Prison and turn it into an oasis of peace. But most of all it is the story of prison inmates who underwent profound change, and who realized that incarceration is not the end but possibly a fresh start toward an improved and more positive life. -Winner of the Golden Spire Award at the 1998 San Francisco International Film Festival.
1. "Oh
my I cannot explain nor thank you enough. I look forward
to your emails every week. They have helped me so much in
healing my grief from losing my father, and my mom years
ago. You have no idea how much you have helped and opened
my heart to so much. I want to thank you and bless you always!
Thank you for keeping hope alive in my life!" Carmen
2."You have a great
nudging tool within your website, keep it up. In my view
it is making very positive collective differences". Freddie
3 "I just wanted to thank you for
your inspirational work. I read your Report every week without
fail. After a lifetime of reading and
thinking, I have come to the conclusion that our whole perspective
of what we are is incorrect. We are not "bodies that
use energy" we are, in fact, "energies that use
bodies". Thank you again for your superb work".
