Next week's Afterlife Zoom Groups are listed towards the bottom of this report and also here.
COMMENTARY: HAPPY EASTER
We hope that you all have a wonderful Easter and enjoy all your Easter traditions. Easter symbolizes new life, fertility, and the end of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn and Spring are wonderful times of year to come together with others to celebrate the beauty and wonder of being alive.
It's also a great time to celebrate the fact that ALL humans on this planet Earth continue to live on in the realm of the Light - for more learning and spiritual refinement in a world of beauty we can hardly begin to imagine. How blessed we are to live in a time in history when we have irrefutable evidence that "life is eternal, love is immortal and death is only a horizon".
WOMAN HAS SHARED-DEATH EXPERIENCE AND SEES HUSBAND'S WELCOME HOME PARTY
The night Lisa Jones' husband passed away, angels came to her bedside and escorted her soul from her body, and brought her to heaven for a shared-death experience. Lisa got to see her husband's welcoming party in heaven receive him before she was sent back to her body and told by her brother-in-law that her husband had passed away. Of course she already knew he had passed and where he was. Lisa was still feeling the joy and love from the other side while trying to navigate an "appropriate emotional response" to the situation.
CHRISTIAN SAINT SPEAKS THROUGH A TRANCE MEDIUM Early in 1974, a small group of religious friends began gathering periodically at the modest home of Thomas and Olive Ashman in Christchurch, New Zealand. "We would reverently pray for protection, and be silent," says the Rev. Michael Cocks, an Anglican priest from Christchurch. Then a communicator who identified himself as the biblical figure, Stephen the Martyr, seemed to take over.
This book, "Afterlife Teaching From St. Stephen the Martyr", records seven years of conversations with St. Stephen. It talks about the true purpose of life, the mission of Christ, the true nature of his resurrection, and about how after our death we continue to evolve and gradually give up our separateness. Stephen emerges as a very balanced, loving, and non-judgmental presence. Read more.
HANS WILHELM'S "LIFE EXPLAINED" SERIES OF VIDEOS Hans Wilhelm is a lifelong seeker of spiritual wisdom having begun meditation in his teens followed by a deep study of the works of Edgar Cayce. During the next decades, he explored many other spiritual paths and met teachers like Byron Katie. He attended numerous retreats all over the world and also gave classes and workshops on the spiritual dynamics of life. Then he began making 5-10 minute videos on what he had learned.
"WHY CAN'T I SEE SPIRIT PEOPLE THE WAY SOME MEDIUMS CAN?" The famous Spiritualist trance medium Cora Richmond was asked this question.
She replied: "Madam, did you see the glory of the sunset sky last evening?"
"No, I was making calls."
"Did you observe the beauty of Jupiter last night, quite late? It must have been when you were driving home from the opera?"
"No, I was too sleepy."
After I asked her, "Have you not a longing to see that beautiful picture from Italy painted by an American artist?" she replied, "No, I have no time, in fact, I do not love art."
I was no longer in doubt as to why she did not see spirits.
THE PERCY PROJECT Julia Assante, Ph.D. developed the Percy Project to show that the presence of the deceased can be technologically located in a series of replicable trials. She uses a small hand-held device invented by scientists with space technology in the Kremlin Clinic in Moscow during the Cold War. It was used to monitor the health of cosmonauts returning to earth with various unknown physical problems. Learn more.

Gernot uses Percy to measure the auras and chakras of the mediums before a trial begins.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A VOICE THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE? While driving early one morning, Bill Bennett heard a voice that told him to slow down. He was approaching an intersection, he slowed down, and a huge truck ran a red light, missing him by inches. If not for that voice, Bill would have been killed. He was determined to find out what that voice was, so he spent three years traveling the world interviewing experts on intuition, spanning the fields of science, religion and spirituality. The result has been a book and an 83-minute movie shot around the world called PGS – our Personal Guidance System. He has also put out a book and a film about walking the Camino de Santiago called The Way, My Way which has just been on tour in the USA and is being released in Europe.
LET'S TALK NEAR-DEATH WITH HOSPICE WORKER PAUL SMITH
Paul Smith has worked in hospice for nearly 20 years and been at the bedside of many dying people. Paul shares what it's like to be a hospice worker, the things that can happen at the end of life, and some of the experiences that stand out to him. Paul is also a long-time meditator and brings meditation experience into his work. He has written a book, "Meditate Yourself: You Are Your Own Guru." Continue the journey in Part 2.

A WAY TO CONNECT WITH YOUR CROSSED-OVER LOVED ONES
Medium Phil G helps people to recognize that their loved ones are often trying to make contact with them in very subtle ways that they don't recognize.
WISE WORDS FROM SILVER BIRCH
"You have tried to build a world where, when one man has something, instead of using it to help the others, he tries to keep it for himself, with the result that in time he makes a system that must collapse because its foundations are wrong. When you have people who develop their gifts, which all come from the Great Spirit, and use them for the benefit of all the others, then there will be built a system founded on that which is eternal".
Silver Birch, Teachings of Silver Birch. Wisdom from the World Beyond. Ed.
A.W. Austen. London: Spiritualist Press, 1962; c1938, 42-3
FEEDBACK: (3 only) 1) "Every week, without fail you both do such important work. I believe that getting it out to others is important so that they may know the comfort of your research. It is of great benefit to all who read the report. Thank you to both." Adele
2) "What an apt quote [Wilma Pearl Mankiller] for these difficult times." Louise
3) "Each week I think you and Wendy outdid yourselves. Deepest thanks. Here is another link to iconic music by Joan Baez, (whom I heard in person in college): "We Shall Overcome". Analise
