Next week's Afterlife Zoom Groups are listed at the bottom of this report and here as well.
COMMENTARY: THE AFTERLIFE WITHOUT RELIGION
Sadly, a lot of people think that religion has a monopoly on the afterlife, so when they reject the absurdity of "hell for eternity", they close their mind to the possibility of an afterlife.
By rejecting the threat of eternal damnation, they also cut themselves off from an exploration of the greater reality. They shut the door firmly on anything spiritual or paranormal and retreat into skepticism, claiming (incorrectly) that science says there cannot be an afterlife.
For many years we have shown that accepting the evidence for the afterlife has nothing to do with accepting traditional religion and that it is perfectly possible to be an agnostic or an atheist and still accept the evidence for the afterlife, using discernment and applying the scientific method. Many who do so describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious" with a strong sense of the connectedness of all life and the power of love and service.
YOU DON'T GET SENT TO HEAVEN OR HELL Curtis Childs explores Emanuel Swedenborg's extraordinary writings about consciousness and the afterlife.
MATTER DOES NOT EXIST
"The schools are teaching us 1940s science. We do not live in a physical, material universe! Who and what are we?" James J. Traitz, a trial lawyer who has created more than 100 short videos on YouTube questioning the materialist paradigm. He is the author of a fascinating book, Don't Stop Your Mind. He argues that the world's ills are caused by the false belief that the substance of the universe is matter, a belief that leads to a fear-greed dichotomy and a scarcity mentality.
DR. DEAN RADIN ON SCIENCE "I've said this before, but I guess it deserves repeating: Should existing scientific models and theories, all of which are tentative, determine whether basic research should be conducted on phenomena reported throughout the ages and for which there is indeed valid scientific evidence if you bother to look for it? The answer has to be yes, because otherwise, science comes to a screeching halt. By implicitly accepting a quasi-religious faith that we already understand everything worth knowing, science dies a slow death."
REALITY AND THE EXTENDED MIND
The data are now indisputable: we are all part of a global mind.
ABSOLUTE BEST Q & A on THE AFTERLIFE WITH CHRISTIAN SUNDBERG
THE SUPREME ADVENTURE
The great scientist Dr. Robert Crookall, D.Sc., Ph.D., undertook a systematic study of hundreds of communications from the afterlife and published the results in his book The Supreme Adventure (1961).
These are some of his findings about a natural death.
"* In the case of natural death, about an hour before "visible death" a dying person vacates the physical body and stands nearby perfectly conscious and happy.
* Many see and hear friends who have gone before whom they have "called". Everyone is met by somebody.
Until the silver cord is broken (usually within a few minutes but with someone very materialistic can be up to a few days) the person will continue to be aware of the physical body and its surroundings. At this time they are often seen by people as they think about them.
* Many communicators describe the act of dying as 'easy', 'natural', and even 'delightful'.
* Once the 'silver cord' is snapped the average person who dies naturally enjoys a recuperative sleep lasting for three or four days. This can be lengthened as a result of a long and severe illness, excessive grief on the part of friends and relatives, or the fixed idea that there is no afterlife that acts like a post-hypnotic suggestion.
*The above-average person who dies without exhausting illness, and whose friends replace selfish grief by quiet prayer, may have little or no sleep.
* Many declared that they were astonished that their death was so natural and that the new environment was real, familiar, pleasant, beautiful, and earth-like.

MARK MACY'S "THE PROJECT" In the early 1990s, researchers in Europe claimed to be in direct contact with spirits and angels through telephones, radios, televisions, computers, and other devices — part of an amazing young field of research called Instrumental Trans communication (ITC). Their honesty, dedication, and miraculous results moved Mark Macy to begin collaborating with those researchers, and soon he began to get phone calls from the other side.
The story of The Project (how modern humans are the product of millions of years of guided evolution) is based on insights given to Macy and his colleagues by ethereal beings (advanced ETs) who say they have accompanied our world from the beginning. The Project examines how we can reinvent and fine-tune our societies and ourselves to achieve our soul purpose and noble destiny. Macy supports his findings and ethereal insights with hard scientific evidence as well as rich legends from various cultures. You can learn more about Mark and his work on his blog.
WERE YOU BORN BETWEEN 1945 and 1965? EDGAR CAYCE REVEALED YOUR FINAL SPIRITUAL MISSION
A video script claims Edgar Cayce predicted a "bridge generation"—souls born between 1945 and 1965—who chose to incarnate for a final mission: preparing humanity for a global shift in consciousness. According to the script, these souls lived through major cultural and technological change to bridge the old and new worlds. It outlines their signs, tests (material attachment, spiritual ego, soul exhaustion), and a "three-question method" for discovering purpose. The message urges awakening now, claiming this is their last opportunity to fulfill a pre-birth contract and help birth a new era.

Global Gathering: NOTE TIME CHANGES
The Cosmic Voices Network Team:
This week, Jeanne Love and Dan Drasin of the Cosmic Voices team will bring us up to date on their lives and activities. Jeanne will fill us in on some of the history of the team, which dates back to the 1980s and early ‘90s, when she and Regina Ochoa began channeling the crews of NASA’s ill-fated space shuttles, Challenger and Columbia. This work continued in concert with the Silicon-Valley-based Foundation for Mind-Being Resarch into the late 2010s, when they were joined by researcher/filmmaker Daniel Drasin, who created the cosmicvoices.network website as a library for the team’s channeled material and related information.
During our Global Gathering we may take a brief detour through the website and dip into some channeled wisdom from folks whose names you’ll instantly recognize and some you’ve never heard of!

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.

These teachings are outlined in Gordon's book A Short Handbook to Retrievals.

ATTORNEY DISCOVERS THE AFTERLIFE
“I have come to know there is no death; there are no dead. That change is one step only in life’s progression, in the unceasing march of evolution, in which neither identity nor individuality is lost, and that life goes on and labor continues as the soul works toward perfection, for progress is an absolute law that nothing can resist.” Edward C. Randall - Attorney and afterlife investigator

FEEDBACK

2) "Can't wait to dive into this week's Afterlife Report. Many thanks to Wendy & Victor. You guys are awesome!" Bonnie
3) "Another wonderful newsletter." Loni
THE FRIDAY AFTERLIFE REPORT THEME SONG
Carly Simon's 'Life is Eternal' captures exactly the theme of the Friday Afterlife Report. You can find it on 'Songs of Healing' by Robert Gass & On Wings of Song', a CD we highly recommend.
Lyrics
Life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
Whilst we encourage and we publish many papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are not in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims. ALL WORK IS COPYRIGHTED BY THE CONDITIONS SET AT THE GENEVA CONFERENCE ON COPYRIGHT.
