COMMENTARY: DIRECT VOICE MEDIUMSHIP
Of all the twenty-plus areas of afterlife evidence that we have personally investigated, one area that we consider incredibly evidential remains almost unknown, even to those who are mental mediums.
People who have 'died' can be heard talking for extended periods of time - often up to 30 minutes - in their own voices in the presence of a direct voice medium. Teams of scientists working in the Spirit world are able to create an artificial voice box outside the medium's body from a substance taken from the medium. Development of this extremely rare ability can take years of dedicated sitting for about an hour once a week with a group of people called "a circle" in a darkened room.
While most people will never have the extreme privilege of experiencing this in person, everyone in the world can listen to hundreds of hours of recorded conversations between people in spirit and their living loved ones on the Leslie Flint Trust website. Some of the tapes are from private sittings like the Annie Nanji tapes and the Douglas Conacher tapes. Some are from group sittings like the Brian Hurst tapes. Also there is the remarkable Woods-Greene collection where people from all levels of society were specifically brought to give talks and lectures about their transitions to the afterlife. Together they provide life-changing information.
Volunteers are very much needed to transcribe more tapes as they are sourced.
DON'T TRUST WIKIPEDIA ON ANYTHING PARANORMAL
If you read the Wikipedia entry on Leslie Flint you will find that it incorrectly implies that he was proved fraudulent. The opposite is true. Every entry about a medium or psychic researcher in Wikipedia is deliberately negative. Rupert Sheldrake explains:
"It's been a battleground for years, where "Guerrilla Skeptics" and other dogmatic activists dominate the content, preventing others from changing the text, even to correct errors, by automatically reversing their edits, banning people who continue to try, and other unsavory tactics". Read more and see Skeptical About Skeptics.
DR. CRAIG HOGAN'S BOOK "EVIDENCE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT YOU WILL NEVER DIE"
Dr. Hogan 's book "Evidence Beyond a Reasonable Doubt You Will Never Die" contains the proof from 15 areas of evidence - including direct voice recordings. He says "The evidence will prove to you that you have a unique purpose for being in Earth School, and you will graduate to go on to a glorious life in the life after this life with all your loved ones. You will never die. That truth will set you free".
EVIDENCE THAT AFTER DEATH CONTACTS ARE NOT HALLUCINATIONS Ken Vincent examined 1667 published ADC cases and found that 336 (20.1%) could be considered evidential. These cases fall into three commonly researched categories: (1) Apparitions appearing before the experiencer’s knowledge of the death of their loved one (APD) numbered 180, (10.8%) of the sample.
(2) Apparitions appearing to multiple witnesses (AMW) numbered 57, (3.4%) of the sample.
(3) Apparitions that convey knowledge unknown to the experiencer that is later proven to be true (AKU) numbered 99, (5.9%) of the sample. Read Ken Vincent's excellent analysis.
WHY SOME SOULS DON'T CROSS OVER
Alex Ferrari talks with Cheryl Murphy. She reveals how attachment, confusion, and unfinished emotional energy can keep consciousness focused on the physical world, and how compassion—not force— allows souls to move on naturally.
"THE LAST FRONTIER EXPLORING THE AFTERLIFE AND TRANSFORMING OUR FEAR OF DEATH" Dr. Julia Assante wants to normalise communication with the afterlife. Her book is both academically rigorous and full of practical advice on after-death communication. She is convinced that all of us can learn to contact our loved ones in spirit and both the book and her website offer tested techniques. With the benefit of more than 40 years of training and experience, she runs workshops on mediumship and after-death communication in Vienna and Graz. She also offers individual sessions in English or German over the internet. Read more.
SUPPORT FOR THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCER
Near-death experiences (or “NDEs”) are often life-changing moments for their experiencers. They’re profound, extraordinary occurrences that can shift entire world views in an instant. And chances are, you have a great many questions regarding what comes next.
IANDS offers information, education, and support to help experiencers navigate life after a near-death experience. From articles to guides, fact sheets to groups, IANDS will help you explore the realm of NDEs and put you in touch with other experiencers.The IANDS site is jam-packed with articles about near-death experiences, support content, educational resources, and more. There are also useful links, introducing you to supportive groups, informative events and conferences, and more. Read more.

DEATH IS NOT THE END We applaud the shared vision of the late Dr. Peter Fenwick, Felicity Warner, and David Lorimer that has led to the creation of the "Death is Not the End" group. The website, https://deathisnotend.com/, explores both scientific and spiritual aspects of death, drawing on both contemporary studies and ancient traditions.
Taking a scholarly approach, it focuses on near-death experiences, after-death communications, shared death experiences, terminal lucidity, mediumship and survival, and reincarnation and karma. On the group website, you can find expert briefings on all these topics as well as links to key resources.
You are warmly invited to register for a free online event announcing the project on Sunday 1st February at 4-5.15 p.m. UK time (Sunday 11 a.m. New York - Check time in your city). The recording will then be posted on the website https://deathisnotend.com/
DOCTOR DISCOVERS PAST LIFE CONNECTIONS WITH HIS OFFICE MANAGER
Dr. David Bettenhausen and his office manager Carla Bogni-Kidd were suffering from intense stress over the process of computerising the practice medical records. They began to come into the office early to sit in meditation for 30 minutes before work. David began to get amazing flashes and memories and they both began to get memories of past lives together. They went on to have past life regression training with Dr. Brian Weiss and now they spread the message of love and kindness and teach holistic approaches to healing. Read more.
OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES William Buhlman has been having, and teaching about, out-of-body experiences for more than 40 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. This book has excellent chapters on the history of OBEs, how to have an OBE, what can be expected from an OBE and what the benefits are. His third bookAdventures in the Afterlife explains what happens when you die. His website has extensive information on techniques to generate out-of-body experiences.
JUANITO DESCRIBES HIS FIRST TWO OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES
This video captures the excitement that a young experiencer feels when he realises the incredible truth that he is more than his physical body.

What If? With Cheryl Page
Cheryl Page is a medical researcher and medium who dares to ask questions about what is possible with mediumship. She suggests that we inadvertently cut ourselves off from the nearly infinite possibilities that Spirit brings when we are rigid about the “right” way to practice mediumship and is looking for interested mediums or those developing to join her in some fascinating experiments.

ALOKA THE PEACE DOG
Led by Bhikkhu Pannakara, 19 Buddhist monks began walking
2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington DC in
October 2025. Three monks, including the leader, walk
barefoot. The journey promotes peace, unity, and compassion
in divided America. Aloka, a stray dog from India, is walking with them. When he (the video mistakenly says "she") was hit by a pick-up truck on November 19, 2025, near Dayton, Texas, and needed surgery, he refused to stay
behind—jumping from their support truck multiple times to
rejoin the monks.

AN AUSTRALIAN HERO The world’s most prolific blood and plasma donor, James Harrison OAM, passed away last month aged 88. He was known internationally for saving the lives of more than 2 million babies by generously donating plasma more than 1,100 times. James’ plasma contained the rare and precious antibody, Anti-D, which is used to make the life-saving medication given to mothers whose blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies.
In Australia people do not get paid for donating plasma or blood and blood products are provided at no cost to patients based on clinical need. Read more about this remarkable man.
FEEDBACK (3 only)
A huge thank you to those who send feedback on the report and on items that they find helpful.
1) "I have been following you guys for close to twenty years, I think. I want again to give you a huge thank you for all you do with your website, Afterlife Report, and Zoom meetings." Martha
2) "Another great report, especially about the Monks —absolutely love it —perfect timing too." Louise
3) "The "Everything is Energy" video with Dr. Bruce Lipton was a real nugget of gold in the issue. Thank you for this fantastic newsletter!" Susin
INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC—"MY LOVE"
A really beautiful song magnificently presented and eloquently expressed by Julio Iglesias and Stevie Wonder. Given the current world situation, we ask that, as you listen to the words, you join in with this glorious visualisation of the world as it could be and as it will be.
Lyrics
" ... Let my love shine throughout the world
To every mountain top and steeple
Let It be felt by every soul
'Til love's all over
Let it reach out to every heart
To every disenfranchised people
'Til it is present and no more is
Pain all over ..."
Whilst we encourage and publish many papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are not in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims. We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
