COMMENTARY: SALUTING AFTERLIFE RESEARCHERS
For more than 150 years many courageous sensitives, scientists, and psychic researchers have set out to use scientific method to investigate the evidence for the afterlife and what conditions in the afterlife are like. In the face of opposition from religion, materialist science, and the popular press they have investigated death-bed visions, healing, telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition. They have spent decades sitting with, and testing, physical mediums, trance mediums, and mental mediums. Many developed the ability to become mediums themselves. Some had out-of-body experiences. Collectively they have confirmed the findings of every culture that has ever existed on Earth - that our life does not end with physical death. Read more about scientists who investigated. One such scientist is Dr. Robert Crookall, D.Sc., Ph.D. He was amazed at the consistency of the evidence coming from thousands of different afterlife contacts in every country and continent – from Brazil, England, South Africa, Tibet, Europe, India and from Australia. He was also amazed at the consistency of the evidence coming from different areas of research, especially from out-of-body experiences on which he became an authority.
DR. ROBERT CROOKALL EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE Unlike many of the early scientists, Dr. Crookall's focus was on the consistency of descriptions of conditions in the afterlife through mediums and out-of-body experiences. In his book The Supreme Adventure published in 1961, Dr. Robert Crookall analyzed significant communications from the spirit world which were available from a wide variety of written sources. This was a fantastic achievement, especially at a time before word processors and the internet. The collective results are:
1) an afterlife description with a high degree of credibility because so many sources contributed the same information even though they were independently produced
2) strong evidence for the existence of an afterlife for the same reason--an intellectually consistent set of statements derived from many independent sources. Read a summary of his findings.
A PIONEER AFTERLIFE RESEARCHER EMMANUEL SWEDENBORG Emmanuel Swedenborg who was born in Sweden in 1688 was one of the leading scientists of his day. Swedenborg was also a very highly gifted clairvoyant who spent more than twenty years investigating other dimensions. He claimed that he regularly spoke with people after they had died and wrote volumes about what today would be called his out-of-body experiences, including very detailed descriptions of the afterlife.
At a time when the Christian churches were teaching that the afterlife
consisted of heaven, hell, and purgatory, Swedenborg claimed that it was neither heaven nor hell, but a very earth-like situation in between. "In the spiritual world, people have bodies, live in houses, enjoy community life, and are surrounded by landscapes like those of Earth, with familiar plants and animals. However, things work very differently in spiritual reality. Everything there is vivid and much more alive. What we see responds to what we are thinking. We always have all the time we need. Particular individuals are only as near or as far away as our thoughts of them, and thinking of a person or place can actually bring us there". Read more.
THE SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS OF GEORGE MEEK
In the 1980s George Meek conducted a 10-year self-funded investigation of evidence for the afterlife with special attention to a new and emerging area, electronic communication with other dimensions. In this lecture, recorded in Colorado in 1991 at the International Forum On New Science, George discusses his findings on life after death.
WHY IS THE AFTERLIFE LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER? Afterlife researcher Michael Tymn writes a compelling explanation of the difficulties in communicating with spirits on different levels in the afterlife. This is based upon the explanation of Imperator, the leader of a group of higher-level teachers in spirit, who guided British medium, Stainton Moses.
If you are interested in finding out in what ways the Eifel Tower is like the Afterlife environment, why a medium cannot locate the debris field of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and why overcoming adversity is the best way to learn and spiritually evolve, read more.
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE OF JOSE HERNANDEZ
It seems likely that NDEs have been happening much more often in the last few decades because of medical advances, as more people are being brought back from the brink of death. However many people who have these life-changing experiences are still being shut down by the materialists. This is what happened to Jose Hernandez whose life was changed when he was introduced to IANDS and learned that he was not the only one who had a magnificent NDE.

CONTEMPORARY OUT-Of-BODY EXPERIENCERS Over the last 50 years, there has been an explosion in people learning to induce out-of-body experiences, some of which lead to exploration of other dimensions, including the astral levels. "Consciousness Beyond the Body" presents the latest theories, research, and applications of out-of-body experiences (OBEs.) As a modern compilation on the topic, the book aims to meld contemporary scientific evidence with the latest and most compelling practical applications of OBEs. Contributors: Nelson Abreu, Luis Minero, Ed Kellogg, Ryan Hurd, Robert Peterson, Preston Dennett, Graham Nicholls, Jurgen Ziewe, Clare Johnson, Robert Waggoner, Alexander De Foe, Natasha Tassell-Matamua, and Anthony Peake.
WILLIAM BUHLMAN: OBE AND NDE EXPERT William Buhlman states he has been having out-of-body experiences for more than 40 years. He has been teaching courses on how to have an out-of-body experience in Europe and at The Monroe Institute for several years. His first book Adventures Beyond the Body (1996) explains how to have an OBE. His second book The Secret of the Soul—Using Out-of-Body Experiences to Understand Our True Nature (2001) deals with some of the different kinds of OBEs both positive and unwelcome. He talks about OBEs in children, OBEs caused by combat and trauma, meeting loved ones in the afterlife, and transformational experiences. His book has excellent chapters on the history of OBEs and on how to have an OBE. He also discusses what can be expected from an OBE and what the benefits are. His bookAdventures in the Afterlife (2013) explains what happens when you die and suggests how you can prepare for a good transition.
DEATH IS AN OPPORTUNITY
William Buhlman's Higher Self Now!: Accelerating Your Spiritual Evolution (2016)
is a powerful affirmation for immediate spiritual liberation; a modern guidebook for personal transformation. Learn about the unseen nature of our existence, the continuing evolution of the soul after death and how to navigate thought-responsive realities.

Global Gathering - The visionary art of Syann Hamden Syann began to develop as a deep trance medium, working with Spirit people in her late teens, and has slowly developed a working relationship with the extraterrestrial Zeta race over the last 15 years (see her work with Paul Hamden in the Zeta Connection). Working in a lightly-altered state, the Zetas often work through Syann to produce ‘channelled’ art. As she paints, the Zetas embed the imagery she creates with their energy. More recently, this process has also been used by the Arcturian race to do the same.
Her channelled paintings generally take one of two forms – highly constructed, in which a very specific image is given, that until drawn, will not leave her mind, much like a song that replays continuously in your mind. The energy is embedded into the symbology that is given. The other is a free-form, intuitive style of painting, in which the energy is embedded during the flow of the creation process.
Syann receives commissions from all around the world for her channelled paintings – each painting is uniquely conceived for the individual; the energy embedded then serves to act as a connection tool to the person's point of origin race. See video.

SMALL ACTIONS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The video explores several community initiatives that started from a small idea. Inspiring.
STAY POSITIVE "Keep radiant, optimistic, and cheerful. Try never to allow yourself to be downcast. The best atmosphere in which we can work, help and guide is one in which there is no gloom, no despondency, no despair, All these blanket the aura and create obstacles that have to be surmounted".
"When things and people seem difficult sometimes, withdraw into the silence. Allow the great love emanating from our world to enfold you in its embrace and to recharge you with its power so that you emerge stronger as a result." More Philosophy of Silver Birch pp.243 and 246.
SITTING IN THE POWER MEDITATION
Mediums trained at the Arthur Findlay College claim that "sitting in the power" for a few minutes every day contributes to spiritual awakening and greater intuition and enriches psychic and evidential mediumship as well as healing development. There are various versions by different mediums but this one by Beverly Anne Freeman explains the process very well.

1)"Yes, that's just how I've seen my Mum [ as in last week's Commentary]. She has a wonderful garden full of roses and trees that she tends herself. My mum has her family and friends over for tea, cake, and a chin wag in her garden. They sit at a big picnic table on chairs under a big umbrella to shade from the sun. She has a busy job that she loves, looking after and helping children and young people that have passed over. She shows herself to me as a vibrant young woman in her 30s". Susan
2) "People knowing more would make their Earth journey so much easier. But Heaven is not allowed to interfere, so we down here have to find out for ourselves. God gave us free will so we can't be directed. The help is very subtle, and many miss it. The more one learns of the Spirit side of life, our main home, the more you want to learn it's so Amazing". Eileen
