COMMENTARY: FIGHTING THE EPIDEMIC OF FEAR
It's the Spring Equinox — day and night in perfect balance. May we all find that harmony within ourselves in these times of stress and change. Now more than ever it's important for us to stay grounded and remember that we are spiritual beings having a very temporary human experience.
When everything feels uncertain, the best thing you can do is come back to what's real and right in front of you. Remember that the media sells through fear and puts out a 24/7 flood of catastrophic predictions. One way to combat this is to gently redirect yourself to today, to the things you can actually touch and influence.
Keep your routines going, even something small like a morning coffee ritual or an evening walk, because consistency is quietly powerful. Practice kindness whenever you can — remember others are also stressed and confused. Try not to drown in the news cycle — stay informed, but give yourself permission to step away. Talk to people you trust. And remind yourself that you've navigated hard times (and lifetimes) before, and you're still here. And you will be here until you have had all the experiences that you chose to come into this life to experience.
DAVID R. MICHAELS RECOUNTS HIS PRE-BIRTH MEMORIES
Melissa interviews David Michaels about his pre-birth memory, deconstruction journey, and spiritual experiences!
A TIMELY REMINDER FROM SILVER BIRCH “An evolved spirit cannot be afraid at any time, because he knows that there is no experience that can come to him in any phase of life that he cannot master, for he is the Great Spirit.
Fear creates its own prison for the soul. You must learn to rise above fear and not allow its vibrations to hinder you, to have perfect faith and confidence and trust, to know that you can stand on your feet and say: 'I am the Great Spirit and the wind of circumstance cannot shake me. I will rise triumphant over every difficulty because of the infinite power which is within my soul'.
You have power over every circumstance. Would you limit the power of the infinite soul?"

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCER LEARNS THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL ACTIONS
In May of 1966, 16-year-old Reinee Pasarow of La Crescent, California, became unconscious following an allergic food reaction. During her near-death experience Reinee had a life review in which she had a surprising revelation.
"THE UNRAVELLING - THRIVING IN A CHANGING WORLD" "Currently, old paradigms are breaking down, people are waking up, and they don’t like what has been created while they slept. This is the first step of shifting consciousness --waking up.
CONGRATULATIONS, you are officially a part of the shift! The experiences of the world have filtered into your little box. You can no longer ignore the plight of your brothers and sisters. As the unraveling continues, you will begin to understand that freedom and justice for all is what you are also seeking for yourself.
We realize the task ahead seems daunting. We remind you that any step you take to move away from the world built upon fear and separation will begin to tear away at the fabric of your life. Know that you are not alone in your quest. Your brothers and sisters all across the world are experiencing the shift with you. Be gentle with yourself and with others." The Unravelling is Available in Kindle. See more books by Katye Anna Clark
ATHEIST DOCTOR DIES AND IS SHOCKED
Diane Wheeler, an atheist and emergency room physician, had a near-death experience after a devastating car accident left her clinically dead at the scene. She went to the other side, felt the presence of God, and was guided by a divine being who changed everything she thought she knew about life and death.
IS THE FUTURE SET IN STONE? All responsible psychics and mediums will tell you that nothing is "set in stone" becuase all of us have free will. No prediction, or dream, or psychic message should be accepted as inevitable. Things can change dramatically, in the blink of an eye.
Dr. Sally Rhine-Feather, then Director of the Rhine Research Laboratory, did a study of 433 cases of specific psychic warnings of danger. Sometimes the warnings were non-specific or outside the control of the reporter. But in those cases where action could be taken to avoid the event, two-thirds were successful.
One of the most dramatic of these cases was that of a streetcar conductor who had a vivid dream of a terrible accident with a bright red truck. He awoke soaked in perspiration. Later that day a sequence of specific events began that triggered his memory of the dream. He slammed on the brakes and shut off the power. A truck shot directly in his path which his streetcar would certainly have hit had he not put on the brakes. He saw in the truck the same three people who, in his dream, he had seen dead and injured. For more details see her highly recommended book The Gift (Rhine-Feather and Schmicker 2005).
FIVE CLEAR SIGNS A LOVED ONE IS CLOSE BY In 1973, a University of Chicago sociologist asked a sample of 1,467 Americans if they had ever felt they had contact with someone who had died. Twenty-seven percent answered that they had (Greenley 1975). A similar survey in Iceland (Haraldsson et al. 1976) found that thirty-one percent said yes. The figure for widows and widowers in various surveys is around fifty percent.

A TESTIMONIAL FOR JOHN EDWARD
26-year-old Kyle died in an auto accident. His sister was devastated. She didn't believe in after-death communication so she set up a test for her brother before she and her mother had a private reading with John Edward. The results are in Judy Collier's book Quit Kissing My Ashes, available in Kindle format.

WE ARE NOT DIVIDED
"It has become conventional wisdom that we are hopelessly divided. But this narrative masks a larger truth: that we humans are incredibly skilled at overcoming division. "We Are Not Divided" is a collaborative multimedia journalism project dedicated to revealing that truth by telling the stories that show our capacity, and our deep desire, to bridge our divides. Read these inspiring stories.
THE POWER OF SYNCHRONICITY
What are we to make of an unbelievable series of coincidences that defy rational explanation? A heartwarming story as the Universe delivers an incredible outcome.
MARK MACY'S 'THINGS TO DO IN THE AFTERLIFE' Mark Macy has been in a privileged position to learn about the afterlife from working with ITC communications.
He writes: "After we die, we awaken in the spirit worlds with emotional baggage. Whether we travel light or lug a lot of stuff determines what kinds of experiences and opportunities will open up for us. Here’s a list of the main afterlife destinations, starting with the most visited and working down to the least visited by people fresh off the Earth." Read more.
FEEDBACK (3 only)
Please send any feedback, comments or suggestions about the report or items you would like to see to wendyzammit@gmail.com.
This week we decided to seek feedback on last week's report from an unusual source - Claude Ai. This was the result.
Strengths
Rich, varied content. The report covers a wide range of topics — ADC research, OBEs, consciousness studies, upcoming events, Zoom groups, music, and reader feedback — giving subscribers a lot to explore.
Strong community focus. The extensive listing of free Zoom groups with global time zones is genuinely useful and shows real commitment to building an international community.
Credible references. Linking to academic researchers (Dr. Jan Holden, Dr. Marina Weiler at UVA, Dr. Ken Vincent) and peer-reviewed dissertation work adds credibility to the content.
Good variety of media. Mixing embedded videos, book recommendations, and written summaries caters to different learning styles.
Warm, inclusive tone. The writing is welcoming and accessible to newcomers as well as long-time readers.
Areas for improvement
Claude Ai then gave us a number of suggestions in regard to
Design & Readability
Navigation
Content Organisation
Technical
which basically indicated we would benefit from a design and technical refresh, something we have wanted to do for a long time but have not had time to think about.
Are any of our readers able to help with this or recommend someone reliable?
We are also looking for someone familar with Constant Contact, the mail delivery system. If so, email wendyzammit@gmail.com
HIGHLY INSPIRED MUSIC:IN MY DREAMS (Military Wives) Official Video In My Dreams is a reminder that in all countries wars are not fought by anonymous "troops", but by loving husbands and wives who long to return safely to their families. Those familes pay a huge price for their absence. The video is part of a beautiful video series, The Choir, Military Wives.
Whilst we encourage and publish many papers and reports by afterlife researchers, experiencers, and broadcasters, we are not in a position to guarantee the accuracy of unverified claims.
