COMMENTARY: STAYING GROUNDED IN TIMES OF CHANGE The message coming from many spiritual teachers and traditions is that the best way to thrive in difficult times is to use what is happening as an opportunity for spiritual growth. They all point to the importance of staying grounded and focusing on our spiritual practice, prayer and meditation. When we are calm and centered and focused on the eternal, we are in a much better position to stay resourceful and connected with our "inner guidance system" and so make the best long-term decisions.
Michael A Singer and Tami Simon discuss the importance of building resilience during these challenging times. He stresses the importance of protecting your immune system by staying calm, clear, open, and filled with good energy.
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE
"You are on earth to build your characters. It is the way you face your problems that makes your character. But there is no trouble in the world of matter which is greater than the power you have within you for overcoming it, because the troubles are of the earth, material, and you are part of the Great Spirit, divine".
'Teachings of Silver Birch' p. 55.

MEDIUM JOHN HOLLAND ON DEATHBED VISIONS John Holland writes: "Even my mom had a Deathbed Vision toward the end of her life. One day, she was sitting up in her hospital bed, quite coherent, and said quite excitedly, 'Johnny! Guess who came to see me today for a visit?' I started reeling off name after name of different people in her life that I could think of. All she kept saying was, 'Nope, nope . . . Nope!' Finally, she blurted out, 'Wayne came to visit!' Wayne was her first love who’d passed some 25 years ago. 'What did he want?' I asked her quietly, sitting down on the bed to hold her hand. She went on to tell me how she’d seen him sitting at the end of her bed in his sailor uniform, handsome and young as she remembered him. He told her that he was checking in on her to see how she was and that everything was going to be okay." Read more.
DOLORES CANNON: THREE WAVES OF VOLUNTEERS AND THE COMING NEW EARTH Dolores Cannon, author, hypnotist and past life regression pioneer tells how she began her work in 1968 when there was very little awareness in the West about past lives. In this video, she talks about her bookFive Lives Remembered which explains how it all began. The book deals with what Dolores learned from regressions with one woman about the creation of our world and the development of our species. Dolores asks "are you one of the Volunteers that came to help Earth with her transition?"
RECOGNITION OF LOVED ONES ON CROSSING OVER
How will my child recognize me when I cross over - he died thirty years ago when he was just five years old.
We are informed, directly from the afterlife, that there will not be a problem. First, the child would have been looked after by relatives or specialists from the afterlife and given all the love normally given to a child. The child would be given education as if he/she was on earth and brought to visit you. But just as important, it has to be remembered that we go out of our physical body when we sleep and visit our loved ones in the afterlife. So the parents could maintain a close relationship with the child until they cross over.
For more on children in the afterlife see: The Children's Sphere in Steve Beckow's New Maps of Heaven.
COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH WHATSAPP Last week's item about a grant from the Bial Foundation to Dr. Imants Barušs to study after-death contact via cell phones led to several inquiries for us to repeat the item about the lady getting messages from her husband via WhatsApp. Here it is.
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.
TOM T. MOORE ON ENLISTING HELP FROM ANGELS
According to Tom T. Moore, we can all obtain help from our angels and guides, as long as we remember to ASK, and THANK them in advance. He teaches a technique that he calls asking for a 'Most Benevolent Outcome' for any situation. You can read more about it in these excerpts from his book The Gentle Way. He also asks that all of us say out loud each morning:
“I now send white light and love to every continent, every island, all the rivers, lakes and streams, and all the oceans and seas, and I release this light to go where it is needed the most to light up the darkest parts of the world. Thank you.” Read more from Tom's website.
MEDIUM SUSANNE WILSON ANSWERS QUESTIONS Susanne Wilson, the Carefree Medium, is the author of a book we highly recommend called "Soul Smart: What the Dead Teach Us About Spirit Communication".

spoke to Helping Parents Heal; we have set the video to open with some of the questions that are asked by all parents whose children have transitioned, starting with the question of suicide.
IS AFTERLIFE CONTACT WITH ANIMALS POSSIBLE? Dr. Anabela Cardoso is a RETIRED Portuguese diplomat, linguist, founder of a shelter for abandoned animals, and a very successful experimenter with instrumental transcommunication. She writes: "Since 1998, I have received several Direct Radio Voice (DRV) communications from a little voice that identifies itself as Nisha’s, one of my beloved deceased Doberman dogs. In 2001, I published in issue 5 of the ITC Journal “La historia de Tuly” (pp. 77- 80) by Maryvonne and Yvon Dray, about an ITC contact with their daughter Karine’s deceased dog, Tuly. Like Nisha, Tuly is reported to have spoken with a human voice and to have said in French “Moi, j’comprends tout” (Me, I understand everything). Read more.

This June marks the return of physical mediumship to Lily Dale with a Conference on Physical Mediumship organised by Susan. To celebrate, recognition is being given to the forgotten mediums of the past in this presentation.

WHY DOES GOD “ALLOW” CERTAIN TRAGEDIES?
When a tragedy occurs as a result of the actions of others, many ask why God “allows” this to happen
and they cannot reconcile the idea of a loving God
with the pain and suffering they see about them. But, as the Universal Spiritual
Brother & Sisterhood (USB) reminds us, it is not
God but humans who are responsible for the evil and suffering they bring
onto others, as they have used the greatest blessings given to us by God,
that is, freedom and free will, to do wrong.
However, in the long run (either here or when we pass on to spirit life) the
scales are always balanced and there is not, and cannot be, any
injustice—for The Law of Cause and Effect governs what we are
responsible for, and The Law of Compensation makes up for what we
suffer through no fault of our own.
The full teachings of The USB are contained in the book Spiritual
Light, published by USB Vision Press.
PETER RAMSTER ON CROSSING OVER Afterlife researcher, author, and film director/ producer Peter Ramster writes:
"The extraordinary nature of this world was brought home to me when I had my last heart attack, and I had my interesting experience. I realised that moving from this world into the next is a bit like the scene in the Harry Potter movie where they walk into the wall on the station and suddenly find themselves in another one. That is so close to the reality it surprised me. One minute I was in this one. In a matter of an instant, I wasn't. Then I watched the world disappearing and melting away, as a new world appeared, separated from me by an extraordinary bright light. In that instant, I knew how little we understand about life, and how much more there is to know.
Life is not easy, but it's quite a wondrous journey really, and we should all try to make the best of it. Above all, remember to remain kind, loving, giving, generous, and wonderful in nature, then you have probably achieved most of what you came here for."
1) "Thanks for another fine and intriguing newsletter Wendy & Victor. I try to look into them all, and despite my
long-term involvement I still find much of interest every week. Best wishes". Gordon Phinn
2) "Studying Silver Birch has changed the way I communicate because he is so adept at clear and concise language!" Eric
3) "Every week I look forward to The Afterlife Report videos and info. I found it about a year ago. Because of it, I learned about Spiritualist Churches and have started attending one, which has been such a special experience". Elizabeth Violet
HIGHLY INSPIRED MUSIC: DON'T GIVE UP. YOU ARE LOVED.
The overwhelming message of Near-Death Experiences and all afterlife contacts is that we are all loved beyond our understanding.
The comments under the video show how important it is to get this message out to so many people who are hanging on by a thread.
Lyrics:
"You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)"
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I... I will lift it for you
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I... I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I... I will be there to find you
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I... I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Every one needs to be heard
You are loved
