COMMENTARY: SPIRITUAL SCIENCE It is wonderful to see the emergence of whole groups of people who embrace the scientific method and at the same time acknowledge spirit or consciousness as the fundamental essence of reality. Rejecting the dogmatism of both materialism and orthodox religion, these people have a vision of the world as sacred and interconnected, and of human life as meaningful and purposeful.
He argues, as we do, that there are so many phenomena that materialism cannot account for and he presents experimental evidence to show that our minds are more intelligent and powerful than present-day science even imagines.
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING: STEVE TAYLOR TALKS TO LILU MACE Psychologist Steve Taylor claims that 70% of people who experience a spiritual awakening do so following a period of intense suffering, either depression or bereavement or turmoil or trauma.
EXPERIENCES OF ONENESS Many studies now suggest that experiences of oneness are so common as to be considered normal - and up to 40% of people have them at some time in their life (see bibliography). Dr. Charles Tart reports that over the years he has had hundreds of fellow scientists from all sorts of fields quietly come up to him at meetings to tell him about these experiences which challenged their concepts of what the world is. To provide a safe place for scientists to share these experiences he created T.A.S.T.E. - the Archives of Scientists' Transcendent Experiences which now contains accounts of almost a hundred such experiences.
MORE PEOPLE ARE SHARING PRE-BIRTH MEMORIES It is surprising how many ordinary people are going public with memories of their life before conception. See more examples.
MORE ON MELLEN-THOMAS BENEDICT'S NDE We had
several people contact us after last week's article saying that they would love to read the two books that Mellen-Thomas wrote in 2009 but they appear to be out of print.
1) "Journey Through the Light and Back" and
2) "Hitchhikers Guide to the Other Side: Or What to Do If You Wake Up Dead". If anyone has information about them please contact us. In the meantime we were able to track down extracts on near-death.com, the website of Kevin Williams who considers Mellen-Thomas' NDE "the most inspirational NDE ever documented". Read More.
DAISY DRYDEN'S DEATHBED VISIONS
Dr. Keith Parsons has released yet another intriguing video -- the deathbed observations and conversations of 10-year-old Daisy Dryden. It's unlike any other ‘afterlife’ video he's made, as it is not concerned with providing survival evidence, as such. It offers a very moving scene as reported by Daisy's parents and others present at her deathbed. It is just 20 minutes long. You can see more of Keith Parsons' videos here.
THE AFTERLIFE BOOKS OF N. RILEY HEAGERTY
N. Riley Heagerty has spent 35 years researching, studying, and archiving the records and phenomena of physical mediumship in the United States in the golden century of Spiritualism, between 1848 and 1958.

MONS. HUGH BENSON'S OTHER BOOKS Many of our readers love the book Life in the World Unseen in which a former Vatican-based priest, Monseigneur Hugh Benson, transmitted wonderful descriptions of the world he found himself in after he died. However many are not aware that he transmitted five additional books by clairaudience to his medium, Anthony Borgia.

SITTING IN THE POWER English medium Helen Davita answers the question often asked, "What is sitting in the power?" She recommends starting your sitting in the power with 5 minutes a day - building up to 20. If you can manage an hour great! However, just 5 minutes to start will make all the difference to you.
TEACHINGS OF SILVER BIRCH "As our teaching grows in your world, it will mean the end of all separateness between peoples. It will mean the end of national barriers. It will mean the end of race distinctions, class distinctions, colour distinctions and all the distinctions between churches and chapels, temples, mosques and synagogues, for gradually all will learn that they have a part of the Great Spirit's truth and that the part enshrined in the heart of every other religion in no way contradicts that portion which is precious to them." (p. 31).
BRODY'S INCREDIBLE PARENTS SHARING THE LOVE Inventor Taylor built his son who has spina bifida a unique wheelchair to help him be just as active as other kids. But he didn't stop there.
FEEDBACK:
(Three only).
1)
"Wow! Victor, I can sure relate to those words. When I had my first spiritual experience, which set me on the path I am now on, those whom I used to see as strangers, suddenly became one with myself. It was as if I could now see beyond the flesh. I also then knew what EMPATHY meant.
Thanks for another great report." David
2) "Wonderful channeled message about love from Charlie Chaplain from the other side. Thank you, Victor and Wendy". Rotsen
3)
"This brief statement is in recognition of the weekly Global Gathering by Wendy Zammit and Karyn Jarvie. Not only is this an excellent venue for gaining knowledge and understanding in the wide spectrum of Scientific and Medical fields related to the Afterlife but what makes it so special is the constant unprecedented community of love and compassion expressed". Dr. Len J. La Scolea, Jr.

ABBA- I HAVE A DREAM Who doesn't have happy memories of ABBA. Yes sing out loud "I believe in angels, something good in everything I see."
Lyrics
I Have a Dream, a song to sing To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail
I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream, a fantasy To help me through, reality And my destination, makes it worth the while Pushin' through the darkness, still another mile
I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream, a song to sing To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail
I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
