COMMENTARY: WHAT CAN WE LEARN ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE FROM NDES? Many researchers say that near-death experiences give us as much information about the afterlife as walking around an airport in Beijing gives us about life in China. Given the limitations, and the fact that near-death is not the same as final death, what can we learn about the nature of life in the afterlife from the collective experience of the many hundreds of thousands of accounts of NDEs?
Actually, quite a lot: 1) That consciousness can exist outside the body. 2) That there is an afterlife/other dimensions. 3) That we can be reunited with our loved ones. 4) That we may experience in full graphic details a life review where we get to experience the consequences of everything we have thought, said, and done. 5) That everyone goes to the afterlife, not just those of a particular religion. 6) That animals go to the afterlife. 7) That our lives do have a purpose. 8) That the more love we show, the closer we will be to God.

LESLIE KEAN ON IRRATIONAL DISMISSALS OF AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE
"It is generally not known that there are qualified scientists who have documented phenomena that are not supposed to be 'real', phenomena that some of their contemporary colleagues claim are impossible. That was one of my motivations for writing the book [Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife]. It goes without saying that genuine, open-minded skepticism is certainly positive, and all research must be scrutinized and debated. But I’m talking about closed-minded, irrational dismissals that create a strange sort of cognitive dissonance... When you have witnessed such 'impossible' events yourself, as I have, these denials from skeptics are especially difficult to ignore." Read more.
CAN SPIRITS MATERIALISE?
Many areas of afterlife evidence are controversial, but perhaps none more so than spirit materialisation. The fact that through the gift of an advanced physical medium those who have died can temporarily take on a body and walk around a room talking to all present in a voice independent to that of the medium is beyond the boggle threshold for most who have not experienced it.
FELIX CIRCLE PRODUCING BRILLIANT RESULTS Whenever you talk to people in the small world of today's physical mediumship you will hear the name Kai being mentioned. Like many, we have been delighted to follow the progress of the Felix Circle, with German physical medium, Kai Muegge, since they began sitting in 2005. Since 2015 the circle has been getting full-form materialisations that have been seen by many credible witnesses. In some cases the spirits were self-illuminated and in other cases, they brought their own light. Some have been photographed. Kai and his wife Julia have a lovely new website with many fascinating reports.
SIGNS OUR LOVED ONES SEND US FROM HEAVEN These days more people are aware of the signs that spirits can send us to let us know that they are around. This knowledge has even reached mainstream television. Here Dr. Oz. shares some of the signs that viewers have told him about. He even recommends this video on signs by medium Laura Lynne Jackson.
HANS OTTO KOENIG
On July 17, 2016, in Germany, H.O. König conducted a session using an updated Infrared System he developed 20 years before. The session began with three hours of group meditation, guided by König. After a break and another short meditation, König turned the system on. There was an extended silence, then a sudden noise. It was the beginning of contact, but there were no voices yet. Then all present heard a number of messages very clearly in German which included: “The earth is to be moved now into a new state of consciousness. Its consciousness capacity will be raised. Listen!" Read more. You can learn more about the work of Hans Otto König on his webpage.
FOUR-YEAR-OLD COMMUNICATES WITH HER DECEASED FATHER These days many more people accept that children often have a strong connection with spirit and communicate with loved ones more easily than adults. Here is a video explaining how a four-year-old child regularly talked to her father and his friends after they were killed in the 9/11 tragedy.
ALAN CROSSLEY An experienced afterlife researcher and investigator, Alan Crossley was present at the Kingsway Hall, London, when Leslie Flint was demonstrating his direct voice mediumship to a packed house. Proceedings took a dramatic turn when a male Spirit voice tried to speak quietly. It was recognised by his sister who was seated high up in the gallery. The voice was that of her brother, Police Constable Nathaniel Edgar, who had been murdered the night before. Crossley's fascinating insights into the remarkable mediumship of Leslie Flint are contained in
"A Journey of Psychic Discovery".
HOLOCAUST SOULS WHO RETURN
Some people investigate past lives when they have recurring nightmares about traumatic deaths. One famous case is that of the child James Leininger who had nightmares of being trapped in a burning plane. Author and scholar Sara Rigler began having nightmares about the Holocaust and when she confided in a friend they both had a "you too" moment. She began to investigate and found hundreds of others. Her book "I've Been Here Before: When Souls of the Holocaust Return" introduces readers to 100 people from all over the world whose experiences defy rational explanation.

Question and Answers about Mediumship
1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month US time.
A series where guest mediums and researchers share experiences. Our guest this week is Cheryl Page a clinical researcher by training who runs the research department at a hospital in New Hampshire. Prior to 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. She is living proof we each have the ability to connect with those we love who have transitioned to the higher side of life. She will share the resources and techniques that worked for her.
After the meeting, there will be an optional opportunity to give or receive practice readings in small groups. Times: Check time in your city

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE FORETOLD FUTURE EVENTS FOR 50 YEARS Bill McDonald claims, "A near-death experience (or near-death-like one) at the age of 8 years of age foretold my future some 50 years in advance. The information turned out to be truly a prophesy as I would discover. I realized that, no matter whatever happened to me, I was going to be loved forever! I spent one year in the hospital and underwent 7 years of medical follow-up - but I was alive and empowered with insights that changed my life."
GIVING THANKS FOR THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF THICH NHAT HANH
"This body is not me; I am not caught in this body, I am life without boundaries, I have never been born and I have never died. Over there, the wide ocean and the sky with many galaxies all manifest from the basis of consciousness. Since beginningless time I have always been free. Birth and death are only a door through which we go in and out. Birth and death are only a game of hide-and-seek. So smile to me and take my hand and wave goodbye. Tomorrow we shall meet again or even before. We shall always be meeting again at the true source. Always meeting again on the myriad paths of life."
Thích Nhất Hạnh, "No Death, No Fear".
FEEDBACK: (Three only).
1) "It's wonderful to have the opportunity to read about all this wonderful work. Thank you." Heather
2) "Thank you, Victor and Wendy, fabulous as usual. Love Guy Sebastian's song; I've added it to my playlist." Karen
3) "I think the reason "it's important" [knowledge of the afterlife] is to make people aware so that they don't just jump right back into another physical lifetime. From what I am learning, many do this. Perhaps just the knowledge of the reality beyond will give many the freedom to choose". David
HIGHLY INSPIRED MUSIC: SPIRIT IN THE SKY
The song has been featured in more than 20 movies and commercials and hit number one three times. Norman Greenbaum, who is Jewish, was vague about why he inserted "I've got a friend in Jesus" in the song. He claims "I’ve gotten letters from funeral directors telling me that it's their second-most-requested song to play at memorial services, next to 'Danny Boy'." Enjoy the high-energy vibe.
