COMMENTARY:
ORTHODOXY ATTACKS THE PARANORMAL- WHY?:
In his Easter address last Sunday to the people of Sydney,
an Anglican Archbishop warned people about attempting
to contact their deceased loved ones which he describes
as "dabbling in the occult". (See
text of his Easter message). He stated many things
which are blatantly untrue:
"Even if people come back as ghosts, they are
not full people. They are more like memories of people,
wisps of humanity."
That is absolute nonsense! This highly conservative, orthodox
Christian of high 
rank,
Dr Jensen (pictured), is exhibiting colossal ignorance
about the paranormal, about after-death contacts, about
mediumship and is fundamentally misleading and misdirecting
the public. It could even be said that this Archbishop
has committed FRAUD (wilfully telling lies) – by
willfully CHEATING. How? He fundamentally and knowingly
ignored and contradicted Anglican Archbishop Cosmo Lang
who oversaw a two
year study by the Church of England into mediumship–
and the results were positive. Yes, the Church of England
committee found, it is possible for humans on earth to
contact loved ones from the other side. The findings include
that those humans who crossed over were able to communicate
with us - just as they did when they were on physical
earth. Just because this Dr Jensen is an 'Archbishop'
that does NOT give him any objective authority to denigrate
the empirical paranormal. He is a 'believer without evidence'.
Nor does it give him authority to offend millions of Spiritualists
and the hundreds of millions of ordinary people who have
experienced an unsolicited after-death contact (see Chapter
19 of my book).
This
religious but 'unspiritual' Archbishop should publicly
apologize for his rudeness, insults and for his colossal
ignorance about the paranormal.
There is no 'occult' anymore in the world. The
word 'occult' means 'hidden.' With the success of the
internet, there is absolutely nothing 'hidden' anymore.
This Archbishop's mind shows he still is in the nineteenth
century.
Further,
he is the same Archbishop who launched attacks against
women - he did not want them as priests and certainly
not as bishops.!
Paranormal
research includes repeatable, objective and empirical
studies of communication with people who crossed over.
But this Archbishop calls communicating with afterlife
intelligences " the occult" to willfully try
to give the paranormal a nasty taste. I find it absolutely
disgusting in the extreme that someone like this Archbishop
knowingly attacks something he clearly does not know anything
about and does not understand. He clearly comes across
as someone who has not investigated but fears the paranormal
has made his orthodox Christian theology utterly redundant,
unnecessary and irrelevant.
This Archbishop still accepts fourth century orthodox
theology that most people in the world think is insulting
to their intelligence – telling people that for
some relatively minor transgression you will go to 'hell
for eternity' – billions and trillions of years
in ‘hellfire.’ People no longer believe that
nonsense.
So, this is about CREDIBILITY – who would you accept
– empirical repeatable and objective paranormal
or the orthodox subjective theology of this Archbishop?
Wake up to the twenty first century Archbishop Jensen!

DOES
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH NEED URGENT REFORMATION? YOU BE THE
JUDGE: everything is about AUTHORITY –
WHO has the 
authority
to tell you the validated truth? We come across so many
religious beliefs – NOT ONE of these beliefs has
objective authority. Not only that – the evidence
shows that these religious and Biblical beliefs were changed
many times during the dark ages by those in leadership
to reflect their thinking and politics of the time! We
do not even know WHO the writers of the religious writings
were! Religionists tell us WITHOUT EVIDENCE at all words
to the effect, “Well, you know, these writings
or changes were inspired!” So these religious
writers of thousands of years ago – at a time when
there was colossal ignorance, no education for the masses,
no science – put down on paper how we should conduct
ourselves to-day in the twenty first century! Wouldn’t
you want to know WHO these writers were? The problem with
religious writings is that they are ‘subjective’
– which means they are subject to complete invalidation
- and there is evidence of too many interpolations in
the Bible. Empirically elicited results – objectivity
and repeatability – are NOT subject to invalidation
– they give us validated truth. There is not one
religious belief that can be independently substantiated.
Therefore any clash between religious beliefs and empirically
elicited results about afterlife matters, religious beliefs
inevitably have to give way to empirical beliefs. It can
never be any other way. I ask BY WHAT AUTHORITY the ancient
writers made these horrible statements below? Here I give
a few examples:
1. HELL FOR ETERNITY IF YOU RE-MARRY:
According 
to
Catholic doctrine, any woman/man who is divorced and remarries
will be living in perpetual adultery (‘grave sin’)
and if she/he dies will go to hell to burn for ETERNITY
– which means more than billions of trillions of
trillions multiplied by trillions of years – in
pain and suffering - for something where nobody got hurt!
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, by Soc.of ST Paul,
Homebush, Australia item 2384 DIVORCE). If you are the
reasonably intelligent, well adjusted person, does your
mind accept that? Judging by the crises in the Church,
most people are not accepting the absurd and are voting
with their feet.
2. HEAVEN IMMEDIATELY EVEN IF YOU’VE BEEN
THE GREATEST MURDERER IN HISTORY: Even if 
you’ve
been extremely cruel all your life and tortured, maimed,
mutilated, murdered and massacred millions of people “if
you are truly sorry for your sins immediately before death”
and confess to a Catholic priest all your deadliest ‘sins’
– you will go to the theological ‘heaven’
when you die. Whereas if someone was extremely spiritual
all his/her life – someone like Gandhi- and just
before he/she dies commits a mortal sin (according to
Catholicism a ‘grave sin’) like having sex
with his wife using a condom and dies, that person will
burn in hell for eternity – more than billions and
trillions of years. Does this present Catholic theology
make a mockery of spiritual justice? (see under Penance
item 1480-98 ibid)
3) ‘NO HEAVEN’ IF YOU ARE NOT BAPTIZED:
someone 
wrote
thousands of years ago that if some water is not poured
over your head (baptism – a ritual taken from the
Pagans before the Christian era) – you will NOT
go to ‘heaven’ even if you’ve been an
immensely good person on earth.
4) MASTURBATION: if boys - and girls masturbate
– spend a 
few
minutes sexually pleasuring themselves (not doing any
harm to anyone) and die thereafter without confessing
their sin to a priest they will go to hell for eternity
according to Catholic theology.
5) CONTRACEPTION: The Church's teaching on contraception
is not an optional extra. They insist that it is hell
for eternity if you use contraceptives!! 
"Paul
VI's later insistence on upholding the traditional ban
on all forms of birth control, including the pill, had
significant consequences for lay Catholics. In Catholics
and Contraception: An American History (2005) Leslie
Woodcock Tentler argues persuasively that the laity ceased
to value church officials' moral judgments once the Pope
rejected his own commission's determination that continuing
the ban was theologically untenable". Read

'HELL FOR ETERNITY NONSENSE ' - Next
week: where the 
Church
got 'hell for eternity’ – and why the Church
is absolutely wrong about it. For the last 2,000 the Church
used eternal damnation very effectively to try to keep
people in the Church. But these days, hardly anyone believes
that any more. Again, you be the judge about the information
I am relating to you. But millions of people are suffering
because of Catholic theology which was decided - without
objective authority. This will be an issue of empiricism
against the subjectivity of theology.
Let
me know if you think that the Catholic Church needs urgent
reformation. victor@victorzammit.com****
Eckhart Tolle: OLD WINE
IN A CLEAN BOTTLE
" With a seemingly limitless pool of middle-class
discontent to 
tap
into - and a major push from Oprah Winfrey - he has become
the most popular spiritual author in the United States.
His books hold the top two spots on the New York Times
best-seller list for paperback advice books. Since March
3, he has been host to a weekly online seminar series
alongside Winfrey in support of his 2005 book, "A
New Earth," which is her latest book club selection
and No. 1 on the list. His secret, according to fans,
publishing industry experts and booksellers, is packing
thousands of years of teaching - from Buddha, Jesus, Shakespeare
and even the Rolling Stones - into what one of his publishers,
Constance Kellough, called "a clean contemporary
bottle." Read

SPIRIT TEACHINGS- TIMELESS SPIRITUAL
WISDOM
I
received an email from one of the members of this 
mailing
list asking me to promote Spirit Teachings which
was given to the world through the mediumship of an Anglican
priest, the Rev.
William Stainton Moses. "Here, in language of
matchless prose, is contained the religious, philosophical
and ethical implications of Spiritualism, as viewed by
the spirit world. The communicators, by sheer brilliant
logic, compelled their medium to abandon, stage by stage,
his orthodox religious beliefs. They gave clear evidence
of their high purpose and furnished him with irrefutable
proofs of Survival. There were twenty-two spirit communicators,
headed by one who signed himself "Imperator".

THE SARAH GIDEON NDE
Thanks
once again to Michael Tymn (pictured) for his outstanding
tireless ongoing research into afterlife matters. This
week in his blog he writes of a stunning new case of verifiable
out of body perception by someone who was verifiably brain
dead at the time. He writes:"
The case of "Pam Reynolds" is often cited as
one of the best, but skeptics have attempted to pick holes
in that case. Now, the "Sarah Gideon" case seems
to plug those holes. In The Scalpel and The Soul,
a new release, Dr. Allan J. Hamilton, a Tucson, Arizona
brain surgeon, tells about the Gideon case.” http://metgat.gaia.com/blog
LISTEN TO FIRST-HAND NDE EXPERIENCERS
Researcher Kenneth Ring found that listening to and watching
first hand 
accounts
by people who had near death experiences significantly
reduces fear of death. Founded in 1981, the International
Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is the only
organization in the world devoted exclusively to the study
of the Near-Death Experience and the Near-Death-Like Experience.
Through building global understanding of NDEs through
research, education and support, their mission is to make
NDEs and related experiences a part of the common wisdom,
enriching the human search for meaning and inspiring a
better world. IANDS now has a page of links to audios
and videos made by NDE experiencers. Some of these NDE
accounts were recorded at various IANDS sponsored events;
others are from the news media. A few derive from other
sources. Watch

BLACK
DAY FOR BRITAIN:
A 300 signature petition to the Scottish Parliament calling
for a posthumous
pardon
for materialization medium Helen Duncan has been rejected.
The petition was submitted by a group of mediums from
UK paranormal group Full
Moon Investigations. The petition was rejected unanimously
by the Petitions Committee and follows the same decision
by the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who refused a similar
request last year. Committee member Nigel Don of the SNP
said: "I feel we've got better things to talk about".
Read
more ... Without doubt, Helen Duncan’s mediumship
was proved – especially when she gave a message
at a public meeting to ‘a mother whose son was serving
on the battleship HMS Barham that the ship was sunk by
enemy action and that the spirit of her son was speaking
to her.’ British Admiralty went berserk with that
news and did everything to stop Helen Duncan to practice
her mediumship. She was charged under the ancient Witchcraft
Act of 1735. But at the trial at the Old Bailey, one of
the greatest violations of the legal ‘due process’
occurred. She was refused the right to demonstrate her
mediumship! How can the authorities charge her with not
being a genuine medium and then at the same time refuse
Helen Duncan the right to demonstrate her mediumship?
She would have made them look absolutely stupid –
and they knew that! Even the Scottish Law Society appealed
to the authorities for the huge injustice leveled against
Helen Duncan. This case is one of the greatest injustices
in British criminal history – and those who colluded
in this gross injustice will pay the price one day –
guaranteed! (See also Chapter
11 of my book)

TWO IMPORTANT BOOKS: ‘THE
TAO OF HOLISM’ 
"Abandoning
the quality of life that four centuries of science and
technology have given us to return to some primitive life-style
is not a realistic option. But there are serious and urgent
problems that we must solve if we want our children and
grandchildren to be able to live happily in peace and
harmony, and awareness of the universal spiritual dimension
of human existence is surely our best hope."
A new book which has some answers
by Dr
Howard Jones has just been published by O Books of
Winchester, UK. Disincarnate existence is discussed in
the context of the Taoist belief in reincarnation and
karma through the all-embracing cosmic spirit. This book
continues the holistic theme of The Thoughtful Guide
to God (O Books, Sept 2006; ISBN 1905047703) which
explores in more detail the scientific rationale behind
psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, mediumship
and communion with the disincarnate. More information
about the books can be seen at www.spiritofoneness.co.uk.

MINISTER BECOMES EVP EXPERT
Fortunately not all Christian clergy are as closed minded
as Dr Jensen (above). In his work as a Christian Uniting
Church minister/grief counselor Rob Smith believes he
developed a receptivity to contacts from the ethereal
realms. When he began to investigate the afterlife using
EVP he quickly got results and had identifiable contacts
from his mother, his grandfather and maternal grandmother.
Since that time (1988) Rob has done great work exploring
empirical evidence for the afterlife. Read Rob’s
story and check out his
new website which has lots of great material.
NEW PARANORMAL SOCIETY FOR AUSTRALIA
Reverend Rob Smith sent me this one
"Over
the next few weeks, an exciting and innovative new Australian
website known as the "AUSTRALIAN PARANORMAL SOCIETY"
will be launched. Coordinated by Allison Andrews - who
is an experienced Australian Paranormal Researcher - it
will offer support and resources for people who feel they
are experiencing any type of 'paranormal phenomena. ***
STAY TUNED *** "
ONE MORE WEEK- RESULTS TOO CLOSE
- THE RACE IS ON! HAVE YOU YOUR SAY! HILLARY OR OBAMA?
I have to run this one another week - the votes are very,
very close. First three weeks were very interesting –
quite a number of people replied. 
But
it's still too close to call. I would like some ten (preferably
20) mediums or psychics to predict who is going to win
the 
Democratic
nomination and who is going to be elected President of
the United States. I am also asking others who make no
claim to psychic or mediumistic skills at all to predict
who are going to be the winners as above requested. Then
we can compare the results. Interested? Email Victor...victor@victorzammit.com
