COMMENTARY: "PRISONS WITH STAINED GLASS WINDOWS"
Dave Howard's new book traces the reasons that he and millions of others have, over the past several decades, moved away from fundamentalist Christianity with its emphasis on sin and eternal punishment. It provides a roadmap for those who want to develop a rich spiritual life outside the confines of a religion that no longer makes sense to them.
"Prisons with Stained Glass Windows: Untying the Bonds of Dogma - embarking on the Path of Spirit" acknowledges the emotional challenges that many people face in leaving the church they grew up in, and the loss, guilt, and fear that many experience.
"After sharing details of his deconstruction from traditional Christianity, the author describes the path he walked in order to shed toxic dogmas and replace them with rational, positive and fact-based alternatives that lead to happy, successful living. Chief among those choices was changing his perspective from negative, self-depreciating thought to a positive outlook that recognized one’s innate spirituality. He also discovered a massive repository of scientific research that affirms the eternal spiritual nature of every human. Our individual consciousness, that research affirms, definitely survives bodily death. A summary of that evidence is contained in later chapters". Read more.
WHAT ARE PRE-BIRTH MEMORIES?
Although not as well known as Near-Death Experiences, pre-birth memories often cover the same ground. Formal investigation of this area is only just beginning.
DO WE PLAN OUR LIVES BEFORE WE ARE BORN? Who were you before the world told you who you should be? As the veil thins between dimensions, we discover natural memories of eternity, heavenly beings, heaven itself: “Don’t you remember before we came here when we were all part of the One?” “I came from the Light.” “I saw Earth before I was born.” “I fell from the Sky.” “I chose you to be my Mommy.” Dr. Elizabeth and Dr. Neil Carman present a talk that weaves together pre-birth memories, past-life memories, and NDEs.
LIGHT THROUGH THE AGES This 4-color separation lithograph by Alfred A. Dolezal captures the portraits of 135 spiritual pioneers.
The centuries unroll left to right from Pherecydes (6th century B.C.), the teacher of Pythagoras, to such modern-day pioneers as Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Edgar Cayce, who gave us the most concrete evidence of the continuity of life through many incarnations and beyond, is surrounded by some of the great figures throughout history who held kindred beliefs.

HE DIED FROM CANCER - HAD AN NDE AND CAME BACK CURED Mellen-Thomas Benedict had a NDE which has become one of the most famous in NDE literature. He was in the last stages of terminal cancer in 1982 and began the dying process. His body showed no vital signs for approximately and hour and a half. During his NDE he was shown in holographic detail Earth's past and a beautiful vision of mankind's future for the next 400 years. Miraculously he returned to his body after having a full NDE. Three months later there was no sign of cancer in his body and he lived until 2017. Read the inspiring story of his NDE.
RECOGNITION OF LOVED ONES ON CROSSING OVER How will my child recognize me when I cross over - he died thirty years ago when he was just five years old?
We are informed, directly from the afterlife, that there will not be a problem. First, the child would have been looked after by relatives or specialists from the afterlife and given all the love normally given to a child. The child would be given education as if he/she was on earth and brought to visit you. But just as important, it has to be remembered that we go out of our physical body when we sleep and visit our loved ones in the afterlife. So the parents can maintain a close relationship with the child until they cross over. For more on children in the afterlife see The Children's Sphere in Steve Beckow's New Maps of Heaven.
FROM CATHOLIC NUN TO EXTRAORDINARY MEDIUM Rev. Janet Nohavec is internationally known for her evidential mediumship. She is a tutor for the prestigious Arthur Findlay College in Stansted, England. A former Roman Catholic nun, she has been featured extensively on television, radio, and printed press. Her private practice and church are based in Pompton Lakes, NJ. Her book 'Where Two Worlds Meet' contains excellent exercises for developing mediums.
SERVICE WITH LOVE AND DEDICATION
"Most of us provide a service via the work we do, but we can build on this service by adding our heartfelt love and devotion. If we provide our service not solely for the monetary reward but in the spirit of love and dedication, this will be reflected in the quality of our afterlife and will make our work much more gratifying and enjoyable in the process. Any person providing a service can do this now and transform their lives." Jurgen Ziewe Vistas of Infinity p. 264.
THE GIFT OF NDEs - YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE TO EXPERIENCE YOUR TRUE HOME Denny Linn, Sheila Linn & Matt Linn talk about a practice of daily life reviews that helps them progress spiritually.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL MEDIUM
Lisa writes: "The panel speakers [mediums Susanne Wilson, Joseph M. Higgins, Ivory LaNoue, and Debra Martin] were all AMAZING, extraordinary loving human beings who are so selflessly serving humanity, connecting us with our loved ones on the Other Side.
I especially appreciated learning about the speakers sharing about their own challenges with the self-care they go through in doing this work".

HELPING OTHERS ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH “The seeds we sow by the way we live, by the truths we share, and by our expression of what is good and godly, will find a fertile spot in some mentalities, there to take root and blossom and bloom, provided that the desire is there and the effort is made".
"Where others are concerned, we can do no more than sow the seeds; the nurturing and the harvest rest with them and them alone. With all our love, with all our desire to help humanity, we can only point the way. No one can walk the spiritual path for another”. Spiritual Light
DO ANIMALS HAVE SOULS? Ricky Medeiros from Spiritual Light Books gives us the Spiritist view.
A CHANNELLED MESSAGE FROM CHARLIE CHAPLIN "I wish to impress upon you your worthiness for love. I wish to encourage you to discover your gifts, to light a candle to the world. To pray and ask God to transform your soul, to heal you, to lift you, to awaken you in love. What awaits you in spirit is beyond what you can conceive, and you will discover the truth of my words one day but know this for now. Love is the great gift. Love is the answer. Love is the path. Ask and you shall receive, and whenever you knock, assistance will arrive. Isn’t that wonderful?
So, be of good joy! Fear nothing! Your soul is indestructible and longing as are all souls, for love, both human and Divine. I shall do a little dance out of here now and I thank you for allowing me to come to this beautiful circle of such sweet and beautiful souls. With all my love and in the Grace of God. I bid you adieu. I am Charlie Chaplin. God bless you."

FEEDBACK:
(Three only)
1) "When I lost my only child in a tragic way, I found that watching Victor's videos gave me some peace and hope. That was back in 2007 and they still give me the same feeling. Thank you Wendy and Victor for your work of love!" Nancy
2) "The world is undergoing great changes. We have to go through this to get to the other side, with hope, love and joy - keep your shining". Lynne
3) "Once again Victor and Wendy you have given us a Report full of interesting reading and viewing. Thank you. Your opening commentary on Swedenborg reminded me I still have pages to read in the several books I have got. Mainly because like some others, such as Seth, I find his material is very “deep” BUT if one perseveres it brings forth great meaning and understanding and from which we can “grow” a lot".
David
BRILLIANT,
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC
MY HEART WILL GO ON Andre Rieu's most evocative, beautiful music. This segment is one of our very favorites accompanied by some spectacularly beautiful ice dancing in Vienna. The beautiful lyrics of the song capture the experiences of many of our subscribers whose loved ones come to them in visitation dreams, one of the easiest ways those in spirit can reach us.
Lyrics
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you, go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
