COMMENTARY: THE SPIRIT WORLD IS EVERYWHERE Our Western culture is so caught up in rushing back and forth and so divorced from the cycles of nature that most people are not attuned to the subtle experiences of spirit presence that surround us all.
Our senses and our instruments are only able to perceive a small range of the vibrations that surround us, namely those between 34,000 and 64,000 waves to the inch, or from 400 to 750 billion waves to the second. That is the section which makes up what we call 'the physical world'.
However, the physical world is only a very limited section of vibrations compared with all the other vibrations in the universe. Humans have only recently learned to produce machines which can tune into radio waves, television waves and x-rays. These all existed before we were able to detect them. Scientists working in the Spirit world (which some call the Etheric world) tell us that their world is just as solid as our world but on a different frequency - just above what most people's senses can perceive.
SO WHERE IS THE AFTERLIFE? Some religious people think that the afterlife is up in the sky, perhaps influenced by the Bible which describes Jesus "ascending into heaven". But another way to look at it is ascending on the vibrational scale.
Silver Birch, a highly credible afterlife teacher, says:
"The afterlife is the invisible and the inaudible side of the world in which you live. You are as much now in the world of spirit as you ever will be ... You cannot register it unless you have developed the gifts of the spirit so that you can tune in to all its vibrations and frequencies, or whatever word you care to use." It seems like it is right where we are, but just on a different frequency - to access it you need to switch frequency - like turning the dial on a radio.
LIFE AFTER DEATH - SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE WITH PROFESSOR OLIVER LAZAR Dr. Oliver Lazar studied medicine and is a professor of IT at FOM University in Düsseldorf. He was a total materialist until he had a spiritually transformative experience after witnessing the death of a child. He had two stunning readings through mediums so decided to conduct Empirical Research into the Effectiveness and Authenticity of Messages from Spirit. His first study had 243 participants; 219 received specific evidence that the medium could not have known; 82 of them received messages that were not directly verifiable but proved to be true afterwards.
He is asking for people to participate in ongoing research with his mediums in a way that seems similar to Voices Across the Veil. His book "Beyond Matter" (in German) has been a best seller on Amazon. Read more.
DOCTOR DISCOVERS THAT NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES ARE REAL Radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long accidentally discovered the phenomenon of the Near-Death Experience (NDEs) through his work. He began his investigation as a skeptic but now runs an organization that is helping to demonstrate that many of these remarkable accounts are real. Check out his website.
MARK MACY'S 'THINGS TO DO IN THE AFTERLIFE' Mark Macy has been in a privileged position to learn about the afterlife from working with ITC communications. He writes: "After we die, we awaken in the spirit worlds with emotional baggage. Whether we travel light or lug a lot of stuff determines what kinds of experiences and opportunities will open up for us. Here’s a list of the main afterlife destinations, starting with the most visited and working down to the least visited by people fresh off the Earth." Read more.
A CHANCE TO THANK MARK MACY Mark Macy has been a leader in ITC (instrumental transcommunication) since 1988. He helped establish an international ITC panel that was able to sustain communications for a number of years with brilliant minds beyond our world. After giving hundreds of public presentations, seminars, and radio and TV interviews, and publishing a number of books and journals, in 2014 he withdrew from the public eye. Surrounded by his books, papers, photographs, etc. he began to share the best information from those 35 years of research in his two blogs, Macy Afterlife and Noble Savage World. Then in a flash on December 30th 2021 his home, and everything in it, was burnt to the ground in the Marshall Fire in Colorado. Read his account.
Mark and his wife Regina have lost everything and there will be a lot of things that insurance (when it comes through) does not cover. They will now go through the slow process of reassembling their lives. Although Mark maintains his trademark sense of humour and his deep awareness of the spiritual perspective, some of his friends feel that now would be a great time to offer some moral and practical thanks for his lifetime of generous service to our field. Any help you can give will be very much appreciated. Read more.
MORE WONDERUL ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS After he began remembering the experiences which led him to choose to incarnate, Christian Sundberg took up a meditation practice and experienced a personal awakening journey. He began to have out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and connected with profound soul wisdom. His highly recommended book, "A Walk in the Physical: Understanding the Human Experience in the Larger Context“ is available in many formats and can be read in full online without charge. It
contains answers to the deepest questions people ask about the way our lives work including: God, Purpose, Judgement, Suicide, Soul Contracts, Suffering, Prayer, Healing, to name just a few of the topics covered.
THE OTHER BETTY WHITE Michael Tymn writes: "Resurrecting Betty White -- Not the Betty White who transitioned last week but an even older Betty White. She developed mediumistic abilities in 1919 and received "teachings" from the spirit world, which were recorded in "The Betty Book," published in 1937, and then after death, she communicated through another medium with her husband, renowned author Stewart Edward White, who wrote seven books dealing with the communications. One of them, "The Unobstructed Universe," published in 1940, is now a classic in the field. Read more".
DR. DEAN RADIN ON FREQUENCY ONE Dr. Dean Radin discusses the history, perception, and evidence of psychic phenomena as part of our human experience. His book is "Real Magic" published by Penguin Random House (2018).
PSYCHICS DO GET INFORMATION TO HELP SOLVE CRIMES Skeptics are often enraged by the idea of psychics helping police solve crimes, calling them frauds and worse. Recently, in Australia, there was a case on a minor public broadcasting station where a commentator launched a disgusting personal attack at a well-known psychic using filthy language. Clearly the proven fact that gifted people can obtain information paranormally by clairvoyance, telepathy, remote viewing and precognition disturbs the world-view of some people. To assist, we have assembled the testimonies of 100 police officers who were initially highly skeptical about psychic abilities but who were convinced after working with gifted forensic psychics.

SENSING MURDER AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND The producers of the extremely popular program Sensing Murder New Zealand and Australia tested 100 psychic mediums in Australia and 75 in New Zealand. They were asked to use psychometry on a photograph of a victim of a little-known solved murder. Only 5 out of 100 (in Australia) and 3 out of 75 (in New Zealand) were able to give correct details about the victim and the crime. Several of these successful psychic mediums were then asked to take part in a series investigating unsolved murders. Australian Scott Russell Hill has written extensively about his experiences on the series. The short video below give a glimpse of what was involved.
LIFE AFTER DEATH - WHY THE GROWING INTEREST? Medical doctor Elisa Medhurst's blog on Huffington Post asks this question. Apart from the number of baby boomers getting old, she suggests that there are three main reasons:
1) The decline of the power of dogmatic religions.
2) Quantum science is challenging outdated materialism.
3) "Now, the Internet helps us create micro-communities where we can share those paranormal experiences in a safe, anonymous place free from scorn...even physicians have become emboldened enough to share the paranormal events they've seen throughout their careers during the dying process of their patients. Beforehand, they would have feared the ridicule of their peers, who were probably sharing the same secrets". Read more.
WHAT DREAMS HAVE COME Stephen Simon, movie producer, author and co-founder of The Spiritual Cinema Circle, will be our guest speaker on next Sunday's Global gathering. On January 3, 2018, Stephen’s wife and love of his life, Lauren, suddenly passed away in her sleep. She was 54. Six weeks later, Lauren began to communicate with Stephen and in October of 2018 they started writing his self-published book "What Dreams Have Come; Loving Through The Veil".

FORGIVENESS - AN IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL CHALLENGE On many occasions we have have heard mediums say that once people cross over their perspectives change. Often people who were separated by small grudges while alive seem to be reconciled. Spirits almost always ask their relatives to forgive the person who was responsible for their death and not to seek revenge. Forgiveness of others and of ourselves is a gift that we can give ourselves both here and when we cross over. Read more about forgiving yourself.
FEEDBACK: (Three only).
1) "We really appreciate the world wide gathering on Sundays ! It has become part of our routine. In addition to hearing interesting speakers, it's wonderful to speak to people all over the world as if they are in our living room". Ann
2)
"Never read any of Silver Birch! Must put that right! What would be a good book to start?" Lenny
Reply: Here is an overview of Silver Birch's books and some extracts.
3) "Communication is definitely real and possible. I love the information shared by your good self Victor, always interesting, many thanks". Glennis.
INSPIRATIONAL (AND DIFFERENT) 'GRATEFUL: A Love Song to the World' Musicians Nimo Patel and Daniel Nahmod brought together dozens of people from around the world to create this beautiful, heart-opening hip hop presentation. Inspired by the 21-Day Gratitude Challenge, the song is a celebration of our spirit and all that is a blessing in life. For the 21 Days, over 11,000 participants from 118 countries learned that "gratefulness" is a habit cultivated consciously and a muscle built over time.
