Last week's report and all previous reports

COMMENTARY: IS EARLY DEATH A TRAGEDY?
It feels like that to all of us who "lose" a loved one. And, of course, it's always "too early". Our society has conditioned us to regard early death as a tragedy. We think that the soul has been robbed of its one and only chance to experience the good things of life and make a contribution to the world.

Immersed in earth-life, it's natural to forget that wise voices from the afterlife keep telling us that life on earth is designed for a specific set of experiences for a tiny amount of time. It has even been likened to a ride at an amusement park. Some souls come just for a short experience - perhaps a ride they missed on a previous visit, or a new ride that is generating a lot of interest. Others come with a pass that entitles them to stay for a bit longer.

From Near-Death Experiences we learn that, at a soul-level, we all know that once the ride is over, we will go home to be with our families and friends and continue to develop all of the talents and interests that we had been developing in the physical. Far from being a tragedy, virtually all those who have an NDE would choose NOT to return unless they had obligations to fulfill.

Silver Birch, speaking through medium Maurice Barbanell, put it wonderfully in the following speech which we would love to see read at every celebration of life.



TO DIE IS NOT TRAGIC
"This is the world where there are no clumsy words to express inspiration, but where thought is the living language and reveals itself with lightning rapidity. This is the world where we have no money to worry us, where there is no competition, no driving of the weaker to the wall, where the strong are strong because they have something to give to those less fortunate than themselves.

We have no unemployment, we have no slums, we have no selfishness. We have no sects, we have only one religion. We have no sacred books, only the operation of the divine laws to instruct us. And the nearer you get to the world of matter, the more clumsy and difficult it is for the spirit to express itself. I never like to come back. The only things that make me do so are the promise that I have given to serve and the love of all of you, which gives me some compensation.

To die is not tragic. To live in your world is tragic. To see the garden of the Great Spirit choked with the weeds of selfishness and greed and avarice, that is tragedy.

To die is to enjoy freedom of the spirit, which has been imprisoned behind the bars of the material body. Is it tragic to be released from suffering, for the soul to come into its own? Is it tragic to see wonders of color, to hear music that does not belong to material expression? Do you call it tragic to express yourself in a body that has no pain, to be able to roam all over the world of matter in a flash and to taste the beauties of the spirit life too? Read the full extract.



EXTRAORDINARY AWAKENINGS: WHEN TRAUMA LEADS TO TRANSFORMATION
In Extraordinary Awakenings: When Trauma Leads to Transformation readers will find not only riveting stories of transformation that show the amazing resilience of the human spirit but also hope and guidance to call on during their own struggles, together with inspiration and profound food for thought.





TRIANGULATING AFTERLIFE ACCOUNTS
One of the exciting things about the internet is that investigators are now able to assemble thousands of personal accounts of conditions in the afterlife and put together a basic map. Dr. Dennis Grega and Michelle Szabo, have looked at the most reliable sources and completed a statistical analysis on the degree to which they are in agreement. They found the following levels of agreement between the sources:
Death Experience for Adults: (87%)
Death Experience for Children: (93.8%)
Transformation from Human to Spirit: (96.8%)
The Afterlife: (95%) Reincarnation: (97.3%)
Life on Earth: (94.7%)

LIFE TO AFTERLIFE: TRAGEDY BY DESIGN
Does adversity teach us and help our ascension? Do we purposely create points in our life that cause us pain and suffering? In this documentary episode Craig McMahon discusses the idea that, before birth, we plan our lives. Craig is joined by Robert Schwartz, Isabella Johnson and James Van Praagh.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT
“Rippling refers to the fact that each of us creates—often without our conscious intent or knowledge—concentric circles of influence that may affect others for years, even for generations. That is, the effect we have on other people is, in turn, passed on to others, much as the ripples in a pond go on and on until they’re no longer visible but continuing at a nano level. The idea that we can leave something of ourselves, even beyond our knowing, offers a potent answer to those who claim that meaninglessness inevitably flows from one’s finiteness and transiency.” – Irvin Yalom, Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death.



BILL VAN OIJE SPEAKS TO HELPING PARENTS HEAL Bill Van Oije says he is just an ordinary guy who has had extraordinary things happen to him because of the passing of his son 6 1/2 years ago. Greg has opened up the Universe for his Dad in so many ways, and he has made it abundantly clear he's still right here. Vivid dreams, messages during waking hours, signs and synchronicities came thick and fast as his son worked overtime in his excitement to share the beautiful place he now calls Home. And it continues to this day.





NEW BOOK FROM HELPING PARENTS HEAL
Elizabeth Boisson writes: "We are excited to announce that Helping Parents Heal, along with Craig McMahon, have just released the book Life to Afterlife - Helping Parents Heal, The Book this weekend! I was told by my son Morgan during an interview with Jamie Clark on July 21st of this year that this book needed to be written.  It has taken less than two months to come together and all of the parents who were a part of Craig's first documentary, "Life to Afterlife: Mom, Can You Hear Me?" have written chapters".  Order the book in kindle or paperback format.

WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE IN THE AFTERLIFE? Jurgen Ziewe spent more than 40 years exploring the astral world in out-of-body experiences where, in full waking consciousness, he was able to observe and interview people. He has published his observations in two remarkable books Multidimensional Man and Vistas of Infinity.
He has also made a series of short videos during our global gatherings where he answered all the questions we could think of. See his Afterlife Answers series.





THE GREAT LESLIE FLINT
People who have 'died' can be heard talking in their own voices in the presence of a direct voice medium. Read more. Here, the famous UK ACTRESS DAME ELLEN TERRY comes through and explains that there is no need to fear death - there is a place for everyone according to their conditions - even animals survive and can be understood by thought. And in the advanced spheres the colours are beyond description, and can only be compared to the rainbows of the Earth. Listen.

Then the light came down."



 

WHAT REALLY EXISTS UNDER THE SURFACE "In reality under the surface, you are all the actor marvelously skilled in playing many parts and in getting lost in the mazes of your own mind and the entanglements of your own affairs". Excerpt from Alan Watts: Eastern Wisdom, Modern Life.






FEEDBACK: (Three only).

1) "I thank you again for all that you folks do to spread the truth about our immortality and afterlife communications". Dave Howard

2) "On The Out of Body Research Foundation website there is a section of accounts of pre-birth memories - some 90 so far. Who knew? Thanks Victor Zammit and Wendy Zammit for lighting this fire for me". Analise.

3) "I've been reading your afterlife reports for several years. They always contain a WEALTH of information. Thank you so much!" Jan
