COMMENTARY: AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION IS NORMAL In her 1961 book "Conversations with Tom: An Adventure in After-Death Communication" Walda Woods complained that the people around her were not able to handle her ongoing relationship with her deceased spouse.
She wrote:"During the months after Tom died, it became evident to me that our culture and society do not know how to grieve or deal with those who are grieving. I was also amazed at how most people reacted to the paranormal side of death and the afterlife. Discussion on this topic was hushed, and people who had experienced such phenomena were made to feel as if they were emotionally off-balance. How sad!"
This is the issue that Stephen Berkley deals with so brilliantly in his movie "Life With Ghosts: Science Weighs in on the Healing Power of ADCs". The movie provides an excellent opportunity to broach the subject of After-Death Communication. Stephen now leads a monthly Zoom group on the first Monday of the month - the next one will be on Monday 1st December (see Zoom groups below).
RESEARCHERS ALL AGREE
Those who researched this issue found that a high proportion of people in every country experienced after-death communications.
Dr. W.D. Rees, a British physician found that of a sample of widows in Wales, forty-seven percent had experiences—often repeatedly over several years—that convinced them that their dead husbands had been in contact with them (Rees 1971: 37-41).
An earlier British experiment by Dr. P. Marris (1958) found a figure of fifty percent.

INTERVIEW WITH JEFFREY OLSEN: DEALING WITH LOSS AND GUILT Jeff Olsen shares an after-death communication with his late wife who gave him encouragement to re-marry and to experience joy. A beautiful interview.
LOOK FOR THE BEAUTY IN LIFE Jurgen Ziewe is one of many out-of-body experiencers who claim to have been making regular visits to the astral world. He writes:
"One thing I have found necessary to learn to enjoy myself more fully on the next dimension is an attitude of generosity and positivity. On that dimension, such characteristics enhance our capacity for enjoyment exponentially, while mean-spiritedness and negativity will hinder us to reach this level. It appears that any activity that directs attention towards giving and enhancing the pleasure of others will create the psychological set-up in ourselves to open the floodgates for receiving pleasure on the higher dimensions." From Jurgen Ziewe's book Multidimensional Man p. 130.
DOLORES CANNON: THREE WAVES OF VOLUNTEERS AND THE COMING NEW EARTH
The 2010 Ozark Mountain Transformation Conference presented Dolores Cannon, author, hypnotist and past life regression pioneer.

The creation of our World and the development of our species. Understand your role on Earth. Are you one of the volunteers who came to help Earth with her transition?
WHAT REALLY MATTERS "Your worth, in earthly terms, is measured by your qualifications, social status, profession, and material wealth.
In spiritual terms, it is calculated by your integrity, honesty, kindness, compassion, and the service you render to all sentient life.
The former is of little or no value but can be bought. The latter is priceless and can never be bought, only earned. Man would do well to remember this."
White Feather, guide to trance medium Rob Goodwin.

COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH WHATSAPP
We are receiving steady reports of Spirit using computers and cell phones to communicate with living loved ones. What's App seems to be a favorite. Gary Mannion and Inge Crosson will be talking about their experiments with it this coming Sunday in the Global Gathering.
Louise Hamlin was a solicitor and then a law fellow and lecturer at Cambridge University. In 2006, she moved down to Dorset to start a new life, but suddenly and unexpectedly her husband died. In her immense grief, she started to recognize signs that her husband was sending her that could only have come from him. Her book "WhatsApps from Heaven: Bereavement in the Twenty-first Century" is a book about bereavement and also about the many extraordinary happenings and signs from the afterlife that then followed.

What If? With Cheryl Page
First Tuesday/ Wednesday of every month
Cheryl Page is a medical researcher and medium who dares to ask questions about what is possible with mediumship.

BIG BROTHER ISN'T WATCHING
"Old George Orwell got it backwards. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world."
- Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby
BEAUTIFUL CHANNELED MESSAGE
Our good friend Rev. Jimbeau Walsh, a member of the Divine Love Sanctuary Foundation, received this encouraging message from one of his regular spirit communicators.
"I wish to tell you there is much light in the world. Billions praying, meditating, chanting, longing for change, longing for harmony and peace, for sustainability. Your light joins them and collectively you lift the planet and the vibration which I tell you my dear friends can heal the whole planet, and will, in fact, bring the change you so desire, we so desire.
This is also why you are drawn to music, a vibration that is easily felt and beautiful music lifts every soul, touches every heart, connects the longings to The Creator. So pray and sing and send out the love. We are with you in this endeavor in this blessing, in healing, and in the beautiful transformation of every soul here in God’s love."
FEEDBACK: One only - a review of our book from Amazon.
"For over a decade I have been following Mr. Zammit's efforts to provide us with rational evidence for the Afterlife. I am not shy to say with much emphasis that, in fact, he has done much more than that and for this reason he deserves our admiration and gratitude.
I have been a humble student of Spiritism and Spiritualism for over three decades and I am therefore well-acquainted with the subjects of Psychic Research, Mediumship, Reincarnation, NED, EVP, OBE, Astral Projection, etc.
His book A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife is the crowning achievement of dedication throughout decades to a cause that speaks so closely to the utmost interest of the future of humanity. I highly recommend this book to all readers interested in these subjects, but with greater emphasis for beginners, for it stands as a huge gate that will lead one into a wide source of serious researchers and studies undertaken by great pioneers in the last three centuries." Antonio
SOMETHING INSPIRATIONAL: LIFE IN 3D Two brothers and a sister whose names all start with D (listen to the backstory of Daylon, Dora, and DeVon) are creating exquisite harmonies. Enjoy their version of "You are the Reason".
