COMMENTARY: AN EXTRAORDINARY PHYSICAL MEDIUM TURNING PAINT INTO BREAD Jose Medrado is a Brazilian physical medium (as was Chico Xavier) and a dedicated Spiritist. In his early years, he produced full materialisations. However, after some time, he found it too much strain on his body. The painter Renoir came to him with a proposition to "turn paint into bread" to fund the orphanage which Medrado had taken over at age 17. The painters' aim is to use their medium to show that life goes on and also to raise funds for his ongoing charity work. Medrado goes into a trance and allows a group of painters in spirit (including Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Matisse, Gauguin, Cassatt, Da Vinci, Morisot, Manet and others) to paint through him, each in their own style. Most take between 5 and 15 minutes. The works are then auctioned to raise funds for the City of Light (see below).
THE SOCIAL WORK OF THE CITY OF LIGHT
Spiritist medium José Medrado explains that the painters have made it clear to him that any money raised from the work must be used for programs in The City of Light in Salvador Brazil - see www.CidadeDaLuz.com.br where he works on a huge number of programs supported by over 200 volunteers.
MEDRADO IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA
Do you fancy having a painting by Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, or Monet to inspire you and at the same time be a supporter of a wonderful cause?
Sydney Northern Beaches Spiritualists will be hosting Medrado at Manly Vale, Sydney on Friday July 10th. Tickets are limited and selling quickly. Join us for a night of spiritual joy and fun with the local Brazilian community. Read more and purchase tickets.
A FRENCH PIONEER NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCER
Nicole Dron was a French woman who had a profound near-death experience in 1968 when she was twenty-six years old. This was long before NDEs had been talked about. It took ten years before she spoke out in 1978, at the risk of being mocked and derided. As time went by, she managed to overcome her apprehension and told her story on television, radio, and at conferences that she organised. Nicole's books, 45 Seconds of Eternity and How Did You Love? What Did You Do for Others?, are available in French and Spanish.
DAN BROWN BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF "THE DA VINCI CODE" DISCOVERS THE AFTERLIFE Dan Brown is not a mystic. He has not had a near-death experience, a vision, or a moment of spiritual revelation. By his own account, when he began researching consciousness for his new novel and Netflix series, The Secret of Secrets, he did so as a sceptic. He was someone who, if asked what happens after death, would have answered without hesitation: nothing.
But something changed that, and that change has been dramatic. Brown was asked last year whether he believes consciousness survives physical death. His answer was clear: “I’m a hundred percent convinced that your consciousness will survive beyond your physical death. And I should stress – I have not had a spiritual experience. This is simply based on enormous amounts of reading and conversations with specialists in the field.” He will be discussing his research with members of the Scientific and Medical Network on Zoom on Saturday 6th June, 4:00-5:30 PM (UK). Recording is available with tickets (free or by donation).
DEATHBED VISIONS MATTER Dr. Christopher Kerr has spent years trying to get medical doctors to take deathbed visions seriously. To do so he has adopted a scientific tone, deliberately refusing to say that deathbed visions are evidence of an afterlife. But towards the end of this video he throws caution to the wind and admits that the evidence is overwhelming and wonderful.

WHAT IS CHANNELLING — AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM MEDIUMSHIP? These are general terms and often overlap. Mediumship is the practice of communicating with the spirits of deceased human beings or animals. A medium is usually conscious and typically relays short personal messages from a loved one or animal who has passed. The main purpose is to provide comfort through evidence of survival.
Channelling is the practice of serving as a conduit for more universal messages from non-physical consciousness. The source may be evolved humans or guides, higher beings, ascended masters, collective intelligences, universal or cosmic consciousness, interstellar beings or higher self. Usually the messages are more extensive and philosphic and the channel enters an altered state.

As Alex Ferrari says if there's something that helps you or changes your life, or just gives you a little bit of insight in this insane thing called life, accept it - and if it doesn't, just discard it.

Here's one for the horse lovers. A beautiful story of love and trust between Emma and Mikko, a wild horse that she rescued. Where others thought he was too much trouble, her patience and kindness have led to an amazing bond.
REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL Reasons to be Cheerful is a nonprofit online magazine that is tonic for tumultuous times. It tells stories that reveal that there are, in fact, a surprising number of reasons to feel cheerful that don't make the mainstream news. Many of these reasons come in the form of smart, proven, replicable solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. Through sharp reporting, its stories balance a sense of healthy optimism with journalistic rigor, and find cause for hope. Read more.
LORNA BYRNE: THE LADY WHO SEES ANGELS Ted Yacucci, producer/director writes:
"Lorna is perhaps the most honest and humble person I have ever met. She will say that she doesn't know why God chose her to spread his messages of love and religious tolerance, but I think God chose very wisely. Watch the documentary and see why millions of people worldwide believe in Lorna and her messages from the Angels."
