COMMENTARY: A PROFESSOR DISCOVERS PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP Eckhard Kruse obtained his Ph.D. for his work in vision-based robot control. Since 2008 he has been professor for Applied Computer Science at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University. He writes:
"It is not too long ago when I would have regarded 'physical mediumship' as unbelievable stories from the past or the subject for uncanny movies. All those alleged phenomena seemed to be so far off from our everyday experience and what science claims to know about our world. But apparently, a simple rule seems to be true also with regard to this topic: The biggest skepticism and resistance comes from those people who do not know anything about the thing - let alone have they had their own experiences.
So, let's have a closer look at what can be learned about physical mediumship. With each of my numerous visits to physical séances, my perspective changed slowly but steadily. Skeptical curiosity changed into fascination".
LIFE AFTER DEATH WITH PROFESSOR KIM PEMBERTHYKim Penberthy is a professor of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences. She was born and raised in West Virginia where she developed a strong tie to the natural world. As a scientist, she is involved in studies of consciousness phenomena such as after-death contacts. She is co-author of the book "Living Mindfully Across the Lifespan". This in-depth-interview is about her scientific work, her book but also about very personal spiritual experiences.
IANDS 2022 SYMPOSIUM: NDEs and the MIND-BRAIN RELATIONSHIP Online Friday-Sunday, Feb. 11-13,
11:00 am-4:30 p.m. EST Days 1 and 2 - Experts in near-death experiences (NDEs), psi phenomena, past-life memories, shared-death experiences, terminal lucidity, evidential mediumship, veridical after-death communication (ADC), neurological evidence, and philosophical considerations. Day 3 - Experiencers and practitioners: physician NDErs, an evidential medium, induced ADC therapists, and out-of-body/astral projection experiencers. See schedule and details
DOCTOR ENCOUNTERS FORMER CHILD PATIENTS DURING HIS NDE Dr. Graeme O'Connor was 27 years old when he had his near-death experience. He was instantly transported to a beautiful realm that consisted of light and energy. Here he understood that all energy was connected. He was visited by four beautiful beams of light; three were children who had died on his ward, and one was his best friend who had died months earlier. He came back with a greater understanding of interconnectedness and with compassion and empathy for all living things.
AFTER-DEATH CONTACTS - A RESEARCHER REPORTS Evelyn Elsaesser (Switzerland) has been examining the worldwide phenomenon of after-death contacts in a scientific research study. 00:01:11 What exactly are after-death contacts? 00:02:50 How common are such after-death contacts? 00:08:12 Are there some elements of after-death contacts that are also an important part of near-death experience? 00:11:03 So after-death contacts are very helpful in the process of mourning? 00:11:57 What would you say are the most important insights that you have gained in your research study? 00:19:33 Who exactly are those academics involved on an international level?
00:24:59 How do people without a scientific background get a chance to read the results of your research study?
CAN PARANORMAL RAPS BE FAKED?
Nice item from Dr. Piero Parisetti who cited research by Dr. Barrie Colvin, Ph.D. published in the May 2010 (Vol. 73) edition of the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Dr. Colvin has analysed recordings of alleged poltergeist knocking obtained from around the world over 40 years. The sample involved 10 separate recordings made on different recording apparatus. Whilst the two types of raps sound rather similar, computerised analysis shows that they are acoustically different. In each of the allegedly paranormal recordings, regardless of the place or time of the recording, and even of the recording apparatus, a particular sound pattern is detected which so far remains unexplained. Attempts to replicate this pattern in ordinary ways have so far been unsuccessful. Read more.
CHERYL PAGE'S JOURNEY TO MEDIUMSHIP
As well as being an awesome presenter, Cheryl Page is a scientifically-minded clinical researcher who runs the research department at a hospital in New Hampshire. Before July 2017, mediumship and speaking to spirits was the furthest thing from her mind or reality. It was only after the tragic loss of the love of her life that she was awakened to her capabilities as a medium. Check out her website and her blog.
WORLD WAR I VICTIM TELLS OF AFTERLIFE EXPERIENCES "Stephen explained that immediately following his battlefield death he was lost in a strange world. “Aimlessly I wandered, seeking I knew not what, dazed, mystified. I did not know I was, as you say and as I used to say, dead.” Stephen communicated, adding that when death comes naturally there are always deceased loved ones there to meet them, but, his death being sudden and premature, there was no one to meet him, to explain that he had graduated into a new plane of consciousness. He was eventually met by a woman who explained it all to him and because of his experience he chose such work there – that of meeting fallen soldiers and explaining the simplicity of their mortality".

JURGEN ZIEWE - THE BIG QUESTIONS Jurgen Ziewe spent more than 40 years exploring the astral world in out-of-body experiences which were generated by deep meditation. He was able to spend extended periods observing and interviewing people in full waking consciousness. 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 Zoom Global Gatherings where he answered all the questions we could think of. See his Afterlife Answers series.
In this video he answers more questions:
Are we bypassing reality when we meditate? How do we regard our life on Earth after we die? How do we look back on our past life when we are dead? Why do we want to incarnate on Earth?

Army 4 Love Every Tuesday
People share what is happening in our world, how we are dealing with issues, holding each other’s hands, bringing in laughter and love. To bring in laughter each week one person shares a joke. This person then receives a few messages from a loved one they choose to connect with on the Other Side. Debra Martin always ends the gathering with a mini healing meditation.

THE FIVE SIDE EFFECTS OF KINDNESS
Did you know that performing acts of kindness lowers your blood pressure? Or that kindness has the power to relieve depression, boost self-esteem and reduce social anxiety by physically changing the brain? Kindness also slows the ageing process by reducing wrinkles and promoting muscle regeneration. As if that wasn’t enough, kindness can increase the chances of our relationships lasting, cure stress and make our lives happier overall. In his down-to-earth and accessible style, in this talk, David Hamilton, Ph.D. shows how kindness:
makes us happier; Is good for the heart; slows ageing;
Improves relationships; is contagious.
A LOVING-KINDNESS MEDITATION
This exercise draws on a guided meditation created by researcher Emma Seppala, Science Director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. The author recommends listening to the audio of this guided meditation which can be downloaded from the website. A script of the meditation is included to help you follow it yourself or teach it to others. Read more.
THE AWAKENING The tragic death of Bill Raine's daughter-in-law at the age of 41, leaving two boys aged three and one, led to the disruption of his close family life. He says he felt mind-numbing grief and sadness and rage at the unfairness of it all. Then help came in totally unexpected ways that he thought impossible and he was awakened from the dark depths of utter despair to indescribable feelings of peace and unbounded love. "The Awakening - Our Journey" by Robert W. Raine is featured in the "A Good Read" section of the February issue of Psychic News. Bill sends a big thank you to those who left their reviews on Amazon; also to Freda Robson, who together with their guides and helpers made his journey into mediumship possible. Read more.
A VERY SPECIAL PRAYER:
May we have the humility and the inner strength to support the trials and tests of life that we chose in this existence.
May we be able to keep calm, so we can act with a steady clear mind and with love in our hearts as much as possible in all we do.
May God and the good spirits inspire, guide and help us, especially during these times of continued pandemic.
1)"Thank you Victor and Wendy for your research. Always appreciated." Adele
2) "He (Thick Nhat Hanh) wrote such beautiful words. I am sure his journey was of immense peace." Vicki
3) "I am completely convinced that this Earth life is a school and we are simply learning here the stuff that can't be learned in heaven. And it all has to do with the differences between the physics of where we are now versus the physics of heaven as described by numerous near-death experience descriptions". Art
HIGHLY INSPIRED MUSIC
"Perhaps Love" was initially addressed to John Denver's wife, Annie Martell, while they were separated and moving towards a divorce. In an interview the day after Denver's death in 1997, Annie said that this was her favorite song of his, rather than "Annie's Song" (which she also said she enjoyed).
Lyrics Perhaps Love
Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home.
Perhaps love is like a window Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know.
Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Or thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Or thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you
