COMMENTARY: SALUTING AN ITC PIONEER Dr. Anabela Cardoso has been a leading member of the ITC and Afterlife Research communities in Europe and worldwide for more than 20 years. A linguist and a senior Portuguese career diplomat since 1976, she was the first woman to hold a diplomatic post outside her county.
Dr. Cardoso began experimenting with EVP in 1997 and soon developed Direct Radio Voices. In 2000 she founded the ITC Journal with an Editorial Board of internationally recognised scientists and researchers of anomalous phenomena. As well as making regular contributions to the Journal and to other international psychical research publications she gave presentations, organised international conferences and carried out research internationally. Dr. David Fontana devoted a chapter in his wonderful book Is There an Afterlife to her work.
GLIMPSES OF ANOTHER WORLDDr. Anabela Cardoso's latest book - Glimpses of Another World, Impressions and Reflections of an EVP Operator.
WHAT ONE OF THE GREATEST PHYSICISTS SAID ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE "I tell you we do persist. Communication is possible. I have proved that the people who communicate are who and what they say they are. The conclusion is that survival is scientifically proved by scientific investigation." Sir Oliver Lodge.
RUPERT SHELDRAKE: THE MIND EXTENDS BEYOND THE BODY Rupert Sheldrake, biologist, talks about his telepathy experiments, the
power of thoughts, consciousness, and about his book "The Science Delusion“.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DEATHBED VISIONS • family members who know about the visions of the dying are known to spend more time at the dying person's bedside.
• spiritual visions empower the dying patients making them realize that they have something to share with others
• spiritual visions remove all fear of dying in the patient and are enormously healing to the relatives
• they can prevent burnout on the part of nurses and doctors
• if attended to, they can dramatically reduce wasteful medical procedures that are often painful to the patient. He claims that 30-60% of the American health care dollar is spent in the last few days of a person's life, and 'most of it is spent in useless procedures that do nothing to prolong life' (Morse 1994: 136).
MIRACLE CURE AFTER NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE When Sabine Kalbus was a teenager, a tumor was diagnosed in her brain. After an "encounter of light," she experienced a miracle cure, something that has been reported by other near-death experiencers including Anita Moorjani and Mellen Thomas-Benedict. She talks about the pressure put on her to not talk about her experiences and the benefit of finding a support group.
OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES - HOW TO HAVE THEM AND WHAT TO EXPECT If you are interested in having an out-of-body experience an excellent starting place is Bob Peterson's website. He has generously made his first book available at no cost since 1997. He also has an outstanding page of reviews of OBE books and some very useful blog posts.
BOB PETERSON'S OBE TECHNIQUE
Bob Peterson describes the technique he uses to achieve out-of-body experiences.
THE STRANGE CASE OF MRS. SMITH'S NIGHTMARES In 1962, Mrs. Smith went to see Dr. Arthur Guirdham in a hospital's outpatient department, where Dr. Guirdham worked as a psychiatrist. She was seeking treatment for a recurring nightmare she had experienced occasionally since her teens; now it was coming two or three times a week. In her dream, she was lying on her back on the floor while a man approached her from behind. She did not know what was going to happen but was absolutely terrified. Although Dr. Guirdham remained calm and professional, he had to hide his surprise while listening to his new patient because he had been having the same nightmare for more than 30 years. Read more.
THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF MEDIUMS: A RESEARCH SUMMARY
In this short video (~15 min.), Dr. Julie Beischel, Director of Research at the Windbridge Center, shares the results from OCTO, SAMS, and CINCO studies which aimed to identify potentially unique demographic, biological, cognitive, psychological, physiological, and experiential characteristics of self-identifying mediums as compared to self-identifying non-mediums in the US.
Discover the answers to questions like:
--are more mediums than non-mediums left-handed?
--who has higher psychological well-being?
--is being a twin more prevalent in mediums?
--do more non-mediums have graduate degrees?

FORGOTTEN MEDIUMS PART 2
Part 2 of Dr. Keith Parsons Forgotten Mediums looks at the astounding Stan Walsh, an Australian medium who died in 1939, leaving behind stunning evidence. One of Walsh’s talents was producing precipitated paintings, so this documentary also looks at other mediums reputed to have this amazing ability, specifically the Bangs sisters, and the Campbell brothers. This documentary contains numerous images of precipitated paintings. Keith Parsons has made numerous 'afterlife evidence' videos and you can see his playlist here.

THE POWER OF DEEP LISTENING "When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
Henri Nouwen, priest (1932-1996)
A LIFE TRANSFORMED
Zach Skow was told that without a liver transplant he had 90 days to live, as a result of his alcohol and drug addiction. His dogs gave him the will to fight and turn his life around. 12 years later, he's built his own rescue organization and saved thousands of dogs. And, in the process, he cured himself without the transplant.
WHAT HELPS SPIRITUAL PROGRESS MOST - LOVE OR KNOWLEDGE? "I would say, on balance, that it is love, if I am allowed to define love as the love that embraces not only one individual, but all humanity. If you have reached that stage where you feel that you can have love for all, not only for those whom you like or who are near and close and dear to you, then that is an indication that your feet are firmly planted on the road of spiritual progress and it shows that you do have knowledge of spiritual principles. So that love, I think, is the greater aid, because you can have knowledge without love, but you cannot have love without knowledge." (Silver Birch)
FEEDBACK:
One only
"I loved Paul Van Leeuwen‘s talk on quantum physics and quantum tunneling, which finally explained to me in terms of the physics how it is possible to perceive/create incredibly detailed and complex objects on the Astral level instantly and why the Astral world is so incredibly rich in detail.
When, during one Astral experience, I studied a 1920s Bentley on the Astral plane close up, I found that the paintwork of the car contained micro-scratches, which in physical reality are the result of repeated polishing and the particles in the polish which over time leads to micro-abrasions, which can be seen at a certain angle of the sunlight.
So why is such a banal observation so important on the Astral Plane you may ask? It is important because nobody on the Astral level will for a moment consider using polish to bring out the shine of their car because it shines the moment you think of making it shiny, no physical labour is needed. But when I took a closer look during my projection, I found these tiny scratches, all in beautiful random swirls, as you do when you spend a Sunday afternoon polishing your physical car.
Paul of course, in his presentation, made it clear to me for the first time how they came about. If you still wonder whether everything in the afterlife is just a ghostly haze, with bodyless souls floating about in the shape of bubbles of light, think again. The detail and richness on the astral plane are phenomenal and it feels so real and physical that it puts our physical world to shame.
BRILLIANT,
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC To follow that lovely quote from Silver Birch what else can we feature but "My Love" sung by Stevie Wonder and Julio Iglesias. Enjoy the stunning visuals.
Lyrics
My love is warmer than a smile
My love gives to every needing child
If anyone should ask you who's my true love
Tell them my love true is ever letting all their love come through.
My love sees love with not a face
And lives to love through time and space
If all of everything about my love fits to the tune of you
Then you can say that you are my love too
Chorus:
Let my love shine throughout the world
To every mountain top and steeple
Let it be felt by every soul
'Til love's all over.
Let it reach out to every heart
To every disenfranchised people
'Til it is present and no more
is pain all over.
Our love sees love's the key to peace
We'll pray 'til all world wars have ceased
Should you or anyone you know enough to say they feel as we
Then let our universal song be free.
Chorus:
Let our love shine throughout the world
To every mountain top and steeple
Let it be felt by every soul
'Til love's all over
Let it reach out to every heart
To every disenfranchised people
'Til it is present and no more is pain all over.
Say words of love to all we see
To rich or poor for love is equal
Let us lift up humanity
Spread love all over.
Let all its forces join as one
So to rebuke all signs of evil
Through every valley, land and sea
Our love's all people.
