COMMENTARY: SWEDENBORG'S ENORMOUS CONTRIBUTION TO SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a brilliant scientist, inventor and scholar, holds a special place in the history of the scientific investigation of the afterlife.
Considered one of the three most briliant people who ever lived, he began having out-of-body experiences at the age of 55. For the next 27 years, he explored other dimensions. He wrote 18 books explaining that there are many different levels of existence where people live very pleasant and interesting lives, just as real as ours on Earth. This was a huge shock to Protestant Christianity which taught that after death it was either heaven sitting on a cloud or the fires of hell.
Swedenborg has been criticized for interpreting everything he saw in the light of Christianity and the Bible, but having a scientist of his repute giving insight to the reality of the astral world was momentous.
He is also said to have appeared to many of the pioneers of Spiritualism and Spiritism, and, together with Benjamin Franklin, was the force behind the coming of Spiritualism in the United States in 1848. Read Michael Tymn's fascinating article.
ANGELS AFTER TERRORISM
Conrad and Paola Leslie's son Nicolas was killed in a terrorist attack in Nice five years ago. They have found enormous comfort and sustaining hope in Swedenborg's reports about the afterlife. You can learn more about the world he discovered in the popular Off the Left Eye Youtube channel.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?
"From the moment that life is given to the physical
body, the spirit body is also in existence. The earthly
body comes to the end of its life; it ceases to function
and to provide an earthly vehicle for the spirit body, and
the spirit body is released and CONTINUES its life in
the spirit world, in its proper element and its true
home. No resurrection has taken place. Nothing of the
sort is needed. It has nothing to wait for, no 'Day of
Judgment' or other unpleasant prospect. The spirit body
is free at last, unencumbered by its heavy earthly body;
free to move and breathe and enjoy the beauties of the
Realm of the Light." (Anthony Borgia Here
and Hereafter)
JULIE BEISCHEL: NEW BUDDHA AT THE GASPUMP INTERVIEW WITH RICK ARCHER
DURING SLEEP WE VISIT THE SPIRIT WORLD "Practically everybody visits my world during sleep, for it is part of the preparation made by the Great Spirit to accustom the spirit body to its future habitation so that when the final separation is made there will be no shock and the newly arrived spirit will gradually accustom itself to its surroundings as memories stir within it." Teachings of Silver Birch p.151
SONIA RINALDI DOCUMENTARY BEING FILMED Dr. Craig Hogan and Sandra Champlain give an update on a documentary on the work of Sonia Rinaldi being filmed now in Brazil.
PLANE CRASHES AND OTHER VIOLENT ACCIDENTS We are informed by highly credible afterlife sources that, when death is inevitable, the spirit can be pulled out of the body before an accident and pass with no pain. Afterlife researcher Robert Crookall in "The Supreme Adventure", 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."

ANIMALS IN THE AFTERLIFE Dr. Craig Hogan has created a superb website called Afterlife Communication. One of the segments on it is called Characteristics of the Afterlife. In it, he assembled some of the tapes - made by Leslie Flint, a "direct-voice medium" - in which dead people speak in their own voices about their experiences in the afterlife. One of the segments is about Animals in the Afterlife. Listen now.

CELEBRATING KINDNESS Could it be that simply watching someone else do a good deed inspires us to help out too? Research shows that our mood is elevated when we witness kindness, and we are more likely to do acts of kindness ourselves. Read more.
NEVER GIVE UP HOPE - "A SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION CAN CHANGE IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE" "In every change that takes place, look for the very best, look deep within and see the good that is coming out of it. It may not always be easy to see it straight away, but never give up until you have done so. There is usually a tiny spark of light even in the darkest of situations, so look for it until you have found it. I work in very mysterious but wonderful ways to perform My wonders. A seemingly impossible situation can change in the twinkling of an eye. Where there has been complete resistance and negativity, the whole situation can change overnight. A nation or an individual may see the error of their ways and decide to let go and let Me take over. Therefore never accept any situation as impossible for you are about to see the most astounding things take place".
Eileen Caddy.
FEEDBACK:
(Three only).
1)
"Great spirit communication connection by Carol to her son Mikey. I can compare it to Russel (in spirit) and his mother Gwen on this side of life. Thank you Victor and Wendy for this wonderful Friday afterlife report".
Rotsen
2)
"Beautiful words, there are more selfless people in our world who know the meaning of how loving hearts and actions when joined together create a connection that is all spiritually powerful. This power can banish everything that is negative. Love heals all". Marion
3) "This one was life-changing for me. Gary Schwartz in his Youtube interview talks of reincarnation in the Silver Birch model and then goes on to say even non-mediums can contact any human who ever lived if they are available (minute 49 ff). I had just been told by my guides that I could do so, hence Gary's comment was synchronistic and empowering. So I tried it, using the telepathy method* I have used for 25 yrs (with animals et al): I contacted a thinker from the 3rd C who is central to my writing. He replied immediately, "It took you long enough"... ff). I am over the moon. N.B. I was sure to ask for protection / gatekeeping. *1. "I ask for help in speaking with____;" 2) "I state my intention to speak with____;" 3) Next I state the being's name three times, introduce myself, and ask if we are connected. Now a dialogue begins, which is evidential! I GIVE THANKS".

Lyrics
Remember morning always comes As night surrenders to the sun No matter how dark it may become Don't stop your light from shining on
'Cause nothing's ever over till you say it's over And nothing's ever finished Not unless you walk away
You see I've got hope
So you could use a little, use a little Leave it when you've done it And I won't let go 'Cause with a little, with a little, it can go a long way Hoooo-ope hooooo-ope, hoooo-ope I've got hope
It's easier to say you can't when you know you can, It's easier to let go than to hold somebody's hand But if you do, then you might just understand yeah That it's okay to not know where you're gonna land
'Cause nothing's ever over till I say it's over And nothing's ever finished Not unless I walk away
You see I've got hope So you could use a little, use a little Leave it when you've done it And I won't let go 'Cause with a little, with a little, it can go a long way I've got hope So you could use a little, use a little Leave it when you've done it And I won't let go 'Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way
Ooh oh oh oh oh, You need hope Oooh oh oh oh oooh, I got hope I got hope
You see, I've got hope So you could use a little, use a little Leave it when you've done it And I won't let go 'Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way I've got hope So you could use a little, use a little Leave it when you've done it And I won't let go 'Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way Oooh oh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh oh oooh I've got hope
Oooh oh oh oh oooh, Give me hope I need a hand, I need a hand, I need a hand
