COMMENTARY: THE AIMS OF THE FRIDAY AFTERLIFE REPORT Many people have no idea that there is an emerging science of death, dying, and afterlife communication which is independent of religion.
In The Friday Afterlife Report, we share a great deal of information about afterlife discoveries, classic books and experiments, interviews with researchers and experiencers, reports on newly released books, and information about relevant groups and organisations.
Also, we provide information transmitted from highly credible afterlife teachers and try to connect people so that they can evaluate the credibility of the evidence for themselves and have a personal experience of afterlife contact.
Primarily, our goals are to enlighten people everywhere that:
1. There is irrefutable evidence supported by highly respected professionals from every discipline that the afterlife exists.
2. We now have a huge database of testimonies by competent witnesses of impeccable character that they have communicated with loved ones after they died.
3. Everybody survives death regardless of beliefs or how they die.
4. We are eternal beings and existed before this life.
5. There are ways we can expand our consciousness and raise our level of awareness while we are still alive.
6. Service to others will bring immense rewards both here and in lives to come.
HOW OLD IS PSYCHICAL RESEARCH?
Many people think the beginnings of the Spiritualist movement occurred at Hydesville in New York State in the 19th century, but psychic investigation is much, much older than that. This particular video of 22 minutes duration is about the origins of psychical research. To find out how much older, view this video now. Keith Parsons has made numerous 'afterlife evidence' videos and you can see his playlist here.
LOVING HEART CONNECTIONS Jane Vair Bissler, Ph.D., has spent 35 years working with grieving people as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Fellow in Thanatology. In this endeavor, she has written four books and most recently created the modality Loving Heart Connections™. This process teaches those who are grieving, as well as those who would like to connect with their spiritual guidance, a way to do this from the comfort of their own home. Jane is now training therapists in this new method. Read more.
VICKI TALBOTT - THE BIG CIRCLE
Vicki Talbott is a retired TESOL/Linguistics professor. When her only child Braeden died in a kayaking accident in 2000, they both already knew about the afterlife and EVP. So it was not a surprise to Vicki when she started receiving messages from Braeden on her answerphone. What did surprise her, however, was that Braeden had already been coming through to a group of mothers experimenting with EVP.
SKEPTIC CONVINCED BY EVIDENTIAL MEDIUMS
Novelist Jane Merrill Forrest comes across as a very grounded and rational person. When she started experiencing objects being moved in her house she began to investigate all possibilities. This eventually led her to several English mediums whom she initially treated with caution. Through them, she received wonderful evidence of survival from her brother and her father. Read the full story.
HARRISON CONNECTIONS: TOM HARRISON COMMUNICATES AFTER CROSSING OVER
For forty-three years, Tom Harrison enthralled many people with his accounts of his mother's physical mediumship. He was dedicated to helping people understand that we continue living after death and that we can communicate with the departed.
In this video, his wife Ann tells us that he first communicated 17 hours after he passed in 2010. She describes two occasions when he materialised through different physical mediums. The book "Harrison Connections" details how he has communicated in almost every way possible within mediumship.
ARE PAST LIVES FANTASY?
Dr. Helen Wambach (1925-1985) was a clinical psychologist at JFK University, California.
In "Reliving Past Lives" she explains how she devised a protocol where she chose time-specific periods from 2000 BC to the twentieth century and asked respondents where they were and what they were doing during that specific period. Race, social class, occupation, types of money used, and gender were all explored. Mundane questions were asked such as: "What types of utensils are being used?"
Dr. Wambach hypnotized 1,088 people for her study. After careful analysis of the data, Dr. Wambach concluded that the information collected under hypnosis was "amazingly accurate" except for that given by 11 subjects, nine of whom gave information that deviated only slightly from the historical time frame.

INSTRUMENTAL TRANS-COMMUNICATION
In this interview (in German with English subtitles) with the ITC Researcher and famous pioneer Hans Otto König you will hear answers to questions such as:
* How did you come to this research?
*
What are some of your experiences with the phenomenon of ITK?
* Instrumental transcommunication: what is this phenomenon? A manifestation of psychokinesis or really voices of deceased?
* Is there life after death?
* How is it possible that 'spirit beings' can speak?
SHARED DEATH EXPERIENCES - WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW
In a shared death experience (SDE), a caregiver of a dying loved one has a sense of participating in the loved one’s transition to the afterlife. The experience can take any of several forms and typically has a profoundly positive effect on the caregiver. IANDS and the SHARED CROSSING PROJECT are having an online Symposium on April 20th (US time) which will be available online for 12 months for those who register. Read more.
WHO WAS EDGAR CAYCE? Edgar Cayce (pronounced Kay-Cee, 1877-1945) has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing details of past lives and prophecies for the future.
The majority of Edgar Cayce's readings deal with holistic health and the treatment of illness, but they also cover an astonishing 10,000 different topics. Members of Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), the nonprofit founded by Cayce in 1931, have access to the entire set of 14,306 readings in an online database. Read more.
EDGAR CAYCE ON PREDICTIONS, AKASHIC RECORDS, ATLANTIS AND MORE Kevin J. Todeschi is Executive Director and CEO of Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research & Enlightenment, A.R.E. and Atlantic University, responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Edgar Cayce organizations. As both a student and teacher of the Cayce material for more than forty years, he has lectured on countless subjects in front of thousands of individuals.
Next Sunday the speaker at our Zoom Global Gathering, Dr. Susan Barnes, will
talk about how the work of Edgar Cayce agrees and disagrees with Spiritualism.
PROFESSOR ECKHARD KRUSE INVESTIGATES PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP "Séances? Establishing contact with discarnate entities in the darkness? Spirit voices, apports, and ectoplasm...? It is not too long ago when I would have regarded such 'physical mediumship' as unbelievable stories from the past, or subjects for uncanny movies. All those alleged phenomena seemed to be so far off from our everyday experience and what science claims to know about our world...With each of my numerous visits to physical séances my perspective changed slowly but steadily. Skeptical curiosity changed into fascination. Now I am convinced unbiased scientific investigations of séance room phenomena can be very valuable and exciting."

AN UPDATE ON "THE FARM"
For 11 years, Luke Evans gave his life to the Australian Navy, first as a clearance diver, and then as a special forces officer. He completed three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan before retiring. Like many veterans, he found himself having difficulty adjusting to civilian life. Unable to get funding for re-training, Luke decided to work with his childhood passion - dogs. Initially, he built a business with dog daycare at Wyong, on the NSW Central Coast, then COVID hit. He began training shelter dogs with behavioural issues so that they could be rehomed. Now he has kept the last 20 of the rescue dogs that couldn't find homes for and is living the dream.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE A major purpose of the Universal Spiritual Brother & Sisterhood (USB) is to bring about a
far wider understanding of the importance of
love in everyone’s life, for love is the greatest
basis of spiritual life.
When the human heart holds love for those who walk in darkness, or for
those who lie on beds of pain, or when there is love for right
conduct—then one demonstrates one of the great principles of the
universe, the principle of Love.
“It is the power of love, not the love of power, that will bring peace—to an
individual, to a nation, to humanity as a whole” (this quotation from an
Inspirer of the USB can be found in the book "Spiritual Light", published by
USB Vision Press).
BEAUTIFUL CHANNELED MESSAGE
Our good friend Rev. Jimbeau Walsh, a member of the Divine Love Sanctuary Foundation, sent us this message that he received 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 and 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: (4 only)
1) "I SO look forward to your inspirational Afterlife Report each week. You are doing very important work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" Bonnie
2) "I would like to thank you for your beautiful book. I now work as a healing medium in Devon England and used many references in your book to get me through my coursework. I passed with a very high grade and now am excited to be teaching new trainee healing mediums at Newton Abbot church". Louise

"I have really enjoyed the Global Gathering talks, they are absolutely brilliant". Jael.
4). "Thank you. These reports are life changing". Kay
INSPIRATIONAL: THERE IS SO MUCH MAGNIFICENCE
An incredible song of praise and gratitude for All That Is. Deva Premal and Miten with Manose lead us in an ecstatic celebration of life. Beautiful as meditation or background music to raise your vibrations.
