Next week's Afterlife Zoom Groups are listed at the bottom of this report and here as well.
COMMENTARY: DO WE PLAN OUR LIVES? Many people are shocked at the very idea when they first hear it.
Why would I have chosen those people as my parents/siblings/colleagues? Why would I have planned a life of poverty, suffering, abuse, and disability? Why wouldn't I have planned to be stunningly good-looking, wealthy, and happy?
White Eagle, a leading spirit teacher, talks about the process as follows:
“ …Before incarnation, every soul has the opportunity to work with the guide and teacher to make a life-plan, choosing all the major circumstances and opportunities from a number of different options. Once this plan has been chosen and set up, it is the work of the guardian to energy to ensure that everything unfolds at exactly the right time and in the right way for the life’s blueprint to manifest at the earthly level."
In this report, we will explore the work of some of the leading researchers and writers in this field. Many people report that it has been life-changing to move from feeling like a victim of their circumstances to realising they are the spiritual architect of their journey.
WHAT ARE PRE-BIRTH MEMORIES?
Although not as well known as Near-Death Experiences, pre-birth memories often cover similar ground. Formal investigation of this area is only just beginning.
CHRISTIAN SUNDBERG
When Christian was a young child, he remembered his existence before coming to Earth. That memory left him completely for his early adult life but it returned spontaneously at the age of 30 as Christian took up a meditation practice and went through a personal awakening journey. He also began to have Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs). His description of the process of incarnation is unforgettable. He is the author of the outstanding book A Walk in the Physical that he has made available to be read without charge on Google Books.
COLLECTIONS OF PRE-BIRTH MEMORIESSeveral reseachers have put together collections of reports of conscious memories of the spiritual dimensions of existence before life on Earth.
Cosmic Cradle: Spiritual Dimensions of Life Before Birth
by Dr. Elizabeth M. Carman and Dr. Neil J. Carman features interviews with adults and children who report memories of choosing their parents, previewing their lives with a "Divine Planner", and entering an earthly body. It compiles cross-cultural perspectives on the soul's journey into the womb.
DR BRIAN WEISS M.D. (1944-)
A traditional psychotherapist and, at the age of 35, a professor at the University of Miami's medical school, Dr. Weiss was not interested in anything mystical, philosophical, or spiritual. One patient changed all that. Weiss calls her Catherine in his first best-selling book, Many Lives, Many Masters (1988).
CONCLUSIONS OF DR WEISS' RESEARCH "Not accidentally or coincidentally are we born into our families. We choose our circumstances and establish a plan for our lives before we are even conceived. Our planning is aided by the loving spiritual beings who eventually guide and protect us while we are in our physical bodies as our life's plan unfolds. Destiny is another name for the unfolding dramas we have already chosen. There is considerable evidence that we actually see the major events in the life to come, the points of destiny, in the planning stage prior to our births. This is clinical evidence gathered by myself and other therapists from our patients who have experienced pre-birth memories while under hypnosis, during meditation, or through spontaneous recall. Mapped out are the key people we will meet, our reunions with soul mates and soul companions, even the actual places where these events will eventually occur." Messages from the Masters - p.45
MICHAEL NEWTON (1931-2016),
Dr. Michael Newton, author of Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, explored Life Between Lives for its therapeutic potential. He conducted over
7,000 hypnotic regression sessions before publishing his first book Journey of Souls, in 1994. The book describes the process of meetings with spiritual guides and with the Councils of Elders to plan the purpose for the current incarnation and reunions with soul group members, with whom we incarnate regularly.
THE MICHAEL NEWTON INSTITUTE The MNI carries on the work of training Life Between Lives therapists. There are members around the world who offer LBL sessions, and the Newton Institute offers Life Between Lives Training in various locations around the world. See the MNI’s official website https://www.newtoninstitute.org.
MICHAEL NEWTON VS DOLORES CANNON Dolores Cannon was another hypnotherapist who experienced the therapeutic benefits of exploring past lives and the inter-life memories of her patients. This video discusses the techniques used by Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon in their hypnotherapy approaches and how they differ.
WHY YOU PLANNED YOUR LIFE BEFORE BIRTH WITH ROB SCHWARTZ Rob Schwartz is a hypnotist who offers Spiritual Guidance Sessions, Past Life Soul Regressions, and Between Lives Soul Regressions to help people heal and understand their life plan. He works with four trained mediums and claims to have brought through for the client, witnesses who were present when they planned their lives.
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES REVEAL "CONTRACTS"
Accounts of being shown a "contract" or "blueprint" during a near-death experience are heavily documented by NDE research networks. These experiences usually occur when a person resists returning to their painful physical body, prompting spiritual guides to present the agreement as proof of their unfinished mission. We will explore some of these in future Friday Afterlife Reports.
HOW TO REMEMBER YOUR SOUL CONTRACT
This video gives hints on ways to reconnect with your soul contract—the spiritual agreement you made before you were born, choosing your family, challenges, and life purpose. Through 8 practical topics, you will learn to decode the signs your soul constantly sends, interpret repetitive patterns as chosen lessons, use regressive meditation techniques to access spiritual memories, and understand how your most significant relationships are planned evolutionary partnerships.

WISDOM FROM YOGANANDA
"The way of divine life is to be so secure in your determination to be good that no one can shake you from it. If in response to hateful behaviour only soothing kindness flows from your soul, you will be continually refilled by an inflow of God's love, able to channel a divine flood of happiness to all. Apply that understanding to all troublesome trials, and each one will resurrect some dormant attribute of God's image within you."
WHY THE ETs ARE RETURNING NOW
Why are advanced extraterrestrial civilizations choosing to reconnect with humanity now? In this fascinating conversation, Darryl Anka shares Bashar's perspective on why Earth is entering a new cycle of open contact. He explains that advanced civilizations have visited humanity throughout history, returning at key moments to observe our progress and help ensure we don't destroy one of the universe's most important "schools" for soul evolution.
A LAST WORD FROM SILVER BIRCH
"Do I have to tell you that long before you incarnated into the world you volunteered for this service? Do I have to tell you that all this was but a prelude, a training ground, a school to learn the lessons to be equipped and fortified and prepared to fulfil the purpose of existence?
Do not falter; do not allow at any time the slightest suggestion of fear to find lodgement within your being. The power that has brought you where you are will not fail you. It cannot fail." Philosophy of Silver Birch p. 68
FEEDBACK (2 only)
Can anyone help locate a photo of Peter Kite?
1) "I am a subscriber to your excellent Friday Afterlife Report and was interested in the Leslie Flint article, particularly the reference to Flt-Lt Peter Kite. I have done some research (so much for being on holiday!) into the events surrounding his passing, and attach herewith a feature for your consideration.
For your information, I am a professional military and legal researcher (and a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Royal Historical Society, and the Ecclesiastical Law Society) and regularly write features on true crime/court cases and on RAF/Commonwealth/USAAF airmen and missions.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a photo of Peter." Paul Allonby, Durham City, UK

Can you help a researcher by listening to a few EVP's and saying what you hear?
If you are up for it, email wendyzammit@gmail and she will connect you with a researcher in Ireland.
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: 'DANCING IN HEAVEN' - A SONG FOR MUM AND DAD
A sweet song to touch your heart as you think of your loved ones who have transitioned to the spirit world. The words and music evoke a compelling image of them restored to youth and vigor, and enjoying life and love more fully than ever.
Dancing in Heaven Lyrics
My mother and father loved to dance, music was in their soul
It kept them young though the years rolled on
Their song never grew old
I felt the world fall silent when I heard they'd passed away
But then from out of nowhere, a song began to play...
(Chorus)
Are you dancing in heaven tonight? Holding each other so tight
Just like you did all those magic nights before
Moving to the rhythm of love
And though I 'm gonna miss you so much
I know you 'll be alright ‘cause you're dancing in heaven tonight
Now there's a place inside my heart where the music never ends
And anytime the teardrops start I go back there again
I see you dance together the way it used to be
And then I know that love's a song
That lasts through all eternity
(Repeat Chorus)
I know you're dancing in heaven tonight, holding each other so tight
Stepping in time across a starlit floor
Moving to the rhythm of love
And though I'm gonna miss you so much
I know you'll be all right ‘cause you're dancing in heaven tonight.
