APOLOGIES for my late reply to you emails - at the moment I'm inundated with urgent work. But all will be answered.

COMMENTARY: Rules of professional debate can NEVER be ignored to allow for inferior presentation. Over the last sixteen years or so I corresponded with all kinds of scientists, philosophers, empiricists and other enlightened individuals – and others. Some agreed, some did not agree with my evidence. But always, those who disagreed with me, never emailed back explaining why I am wrong. They go and study the evidence or obtain technical advice from an experienced litigation lawyer about what technically constitutes admissible evidence. Some ten years ago I used to receive emails from colossal amateurs who show by their writing that they are uninformed and totally ignorant of what is ‘admissible evidence’. The number of them has been dramatically reduced now to some half a dozen a year. They are the ones who push ignorance to its extreme and have the audacity to repeat some imbecile’s negative adage about the afterlife because it gives comfort to their closed minded skepticism. When they do that they are burying their heads in the sand..

INDECENT LANGUAGE CANNOT BE USED TO COMPROMISE PROPER PROCEDURE FOR DEBATE. Personal beliefs are in themselves ‘subjective’ and are subject to complete invalidation. Someone who does not believe in the paranormal or the afterlife is showing that he has ‘beliefs’ – because that someone can never use science to show that his ‘beliefs’ are correct – never. And no amount of huffing and puffing and blasphemy and indecent language can change that. Those who are uninformed about admissibility of objective evidence may need to go to a professional litigation lawyer and obtain technical advice about what is admissible evidence before they email me revealing a colossally low level of unacceptable verbiage.

LIFE AFTER DEATH used to have some 3,000,000 entries on Google eight years ago. To-day’s there are over 320,000,000 entries. It is predicted that in the next three years this figure is likely to be a BILLION.

STUNNING RESULSTS FOR REMOTE VIEWING: more people than ever are becoming interested in remote viewing as a legitimate paranormal experience. In 2001 Google search engine had 610,000 entries for REMOTE VIEWING. To-day there are an impressive 51,700,000 entries. Click on BOOK top right, click on chapter 17.

INTELLIGENCE: there is a global misperception that highly intelligent people are ALL ‘omniscient’ – all knowing and ‘infallible’ – that they do not make mistakes and are ‘omnipotent’ – all powerful. Highly intelligent people are given a great deal of status and sometimes exaggerated respect. It may come as a shock to the system that in relation to the afterlife, relative spiritual advancement is independent of intelligence. Further, there is no link between being intelligent and being ‘smart’ and between being intelligent and being honest – and being highly intelligent and being disciplined. Nor is there a link between intelligence and being open minded. More next week on this topic.

FRANK SINATRA, a legend, an American phenomenon. On cable television this week I watched a documentary which highlighted the career Frank Sinatra. In one of the interviews with one of his associates it was revealed that Frank Sinatra accepted reincarnation - which meant he accepted the afterlife. This was not something that was drummed into him in his early Italian Catholic days. It must have taken years of life experience, a refined, sensitive maturity, an in depth feeling for life and the afterlife, to evaluate with any meaning the greatest issues of life – and the afterlife.

PLAN FOR THE FUTURE?: I woke up this morning with this thought: “We have the knowledge to-day that by willfully not doing anything now, there will inevitably be greater pain in the future; whereas there will be much less pain or no pain in the future when we do something about our future now.” This can be applied to many things, especially to afterlife matters.

EVOLUTION IRRELEVANT? In her 1993 book ‘Dying to Live’ the closed minded debunking author erroneously states, "The problem with evolution is, and has always been, that it leaves little room either for a grand purpose to life or for an individual soul." OBJECTION! That is absolutely wrong and technically considered to be highly speculative, a 'subjective conclusion' and a 'non-sequitur' i.e. ‘it does not follow’. The author is not a biologist, does not have expertise on Darwinism; the author is not a physicist nor does the debunking author have any authority to make that kind of self-serving negative statement. The issue of a non-physical etheric body is totally independent to evolution. The author made a personal, subjective, non-empirical observation consistent with her deeply entrenched negative bias.

EMPIRICALLY elicited information, if consistent with scientific methodology, will negate all inconsistent subjective beliefs.

COMMON QUESTION: an enquirer states, because he saw a television show which states the paranormal does not exist. My quick answer is that those who say there is no paranormal have NOT rebutted the objective evidence for the paranormal. Do NOT be misguided, do NOT be fooled, do NOT be misled by losers and defeatists who refuse to accept the objective, empirical evidence for the existence of the paranormal. One book comes to mind is Dr Dean Radin’s brilliant book THE CONSCIOUS UNIVERSE. Dr Radin explains in some fourteen languages why, when, how and in what manner the paranormal is real and has been empirically validated many times over.

PROF ALBERT EINSTEIN, “It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.” Since Prof Einstein’s death and with the advancement of quantum physics, a number of scientists now accept this to be highly probable.

DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DISEMPOWERED: people ask me whether they should join a psychic group. My answer is that if you think you have the potential to be psychic first ask yourself the motivation for developing your psychic skills. If you really want to help others – doing it as a service – then that would be all right to develop your latent psychic skills. It depends who will be running the development group. But whatever you do, you must NEVER allow anyone to disempower you. Never give up your free will, never let anyone take any power away from you, never abdicate your power to others.

‘IS IT REAL?” is a television show on cable tv National Geographic Channel of all things. Recently they did a supposedly objective assessment of whether ghosts really exist. Do NOT be deceived, do NOT be misinformed – do NOT be misguided. The show is full of misrepresentations and attempts to ambush the viewer and to try to trap the unaware. It was produced by skeptical debunkers to justify their own closed minded skepticism. The most notorious closed minded debunkers were cited as witnesses that there is no afterlife. This is like one Wizard of the KU KLUX KLAN getting other Klan WIZARDS as witnesses to try to validate KKK beliefs! Do not waste your time watching something which is not objective. The planner of this show, obviously a closed minded skeptic, totally IGNORED the empirical and objective evidence for the afterlife. In one of the segments he goes to some allegedly haunted underground building in Scotland and rambles on that it is not really haunted because the afterlife does not exist. He also shows a witness stating, “oh, you know, the afterlife does not exist, ha ha…”. What pathetic idiocy the debunkers are presenting in their desperate attempt to mislead and deceive.

THE SPIRIT WORLD ACCORDING TO JAMES VAN PRAAGH- James has put up a blog – a website to describe the episodes of THE GHOSTS WHISPERER – television series based on a gifted psychic. From an empirical perspective, what psychic matters go on in this series, so far, are fairly accurate. A medium who can contact the dead is nothing new – it’s been with us since human history – thousands of years ago. What is new is that psychic matters are now being watched by millions of people around the world. A big plus for the Ghost Whisperers, as in MEDIUM television series, there are experts mediums overseeing the scripts for psychic accuracy. James’ interesting blog: http://snipurl.com/poj1

EXPERIENCE transcends anything else! I received a number of emails over the last sixteen years or so where emailers stated experiencing the paranormal is the ultimate. Just a few days ago this is what was related to me, words to the effect. “Don’t talk about science. Don’t even mention to me empirical evidence. But what I experience with my loved one who crossed over, no one can take it away from me. I know she is still with me and I have received messages from her. Nothing else matters for me. I know I will meet my loved one once again …” I would agree that whilst so many people can experience the paranormal, many others – closed minded skeptics and debunkers are spiritually deaf and blind.

COMMENTARY: RESISTENCE TO CHANGE: “This resistance is causing darkness in a world seeking the ‘light’.” To many professionals who with absolute certainty experienced aspects of the paranormal, it is a mystery why there is rigid resistance to the accepting the new paradigm of non-physical energy (the paranormal) and the reality of the afterlife. Scientists with the highest credibility (click on BOOK top right, click on chapter 2) have confirmed the existence of the paranormal (psi) and the afterlife. Yet, some leading academics and intellectuals still try to heap ridicule and derision, try to negate and invalidate this new critical life-changing information. This resistance is causing darkness in a world desperately seeking the ‘light.’ Is the resistance to change intellectual arrogance? Is it colossal fear? Is it a reluctance to give up intellectual domination of contemporary thought? Is it self preservation? What is likely to happen is that ordinary PEOPLE from around the world will accept the existence of the afterlife and then no academic, no intellectual, no university materialist dogmatist will be able to stop a new paradigm whose time has come. The scientific revolution embracing the new psi paradigm has already started!

HYPOCRISY? DO WE HAVE THE WRONG VALUES? Even though we see people in leadership give lip service to religion and even go to Church, to the Synagogue and the Temple, we still live primarily in a materialist, secular culture. The aim of life according to the current materialist worldview is to pursue power, wealth, status, dominance, reputation. That, they call ‘success’ in this lifetime. To obtain these one inevitably has to be Machiavellian – put greed as a priority and act as if the end justifies the brutal means. Observation of the commercial world has shown one has to cheat, lie, exploit, push selfishness to its extreme and even be dishonest to attain significant materialist goals. So that you may rhetorically ask whether wealth, power, status and reputation can ever be reconciled with honesty, integrity and decency? The values of to-day are putting pressure onto people to be short term materialist thinkers. We on earth live a relatively short time – in the overall scheme of things, a fraction of an eye-blink. Empirically elicited information states that the duration of the afterlife is a very, very long time- it is ‘eternal’. The responsibility is on each individual - on you - to have the right priorities to achieve without shame, to win without cheating, to succeed without dishonor and dishonesty. Why? Because the consequences of the afterlife are huge and deadly devastating. See WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE click on BOOK, click on chapter 27.

EVP VOICES from Holland (includes English version) – more international validation of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) a most interesting site for you to have a look at.EVP has already converted a huge number of people into accepting the afterlife. This website is In English and in Dutch: http://www.evp-voices.com

INSTRUMENTAL TRANS-COMMUNIC-ATION (ITC) without doubt once ITC is perfected, it will be the most revolutionary way to absolutely demonstrate the existence of the afterlife. It is physical evidence now already - but there are only relatively few experts researching ITC around the world. I predict that in the not too distant future, ITC as with EVP, it will be accessible to a greater number of people who one day will be able to communicate directly with their crossed over loved ones.

ISLAMIC TERRORISM we are informed by a moderate Islamic cleric from Melbourne, Australia, that terrorists have successfully highjacked the ‘religion’ of Islam to get sympathy and support for their cause. As I said before, ‘religion’ without ‘spirituality’ is like a brand new Rolls Royce without gasoline – it’s meaningless and no one is going anywhere. When brainwashing goes on and we hear Muslims shout ‘God is Great’ when they see innocent people being butchered – THAT is NOT being spiritual that is NOT being truly religious. According to this high Islamic cleric, that is being blasphemous! Where violations of spiritual laws take place, where innocent people are blown up, where we see huge towers being destroyed – that can NEVER be ‘spiritual’. The practice of Islam without spirituality – means absolutely nothing. Accordingly, what is needed is for credible leaders of Islam to organize world protests against those radicals who hijacked ‘religion’ for their own violent purposes. The propaganda war to capture the hearts and the minds of the unaware is going on now – and it is only by eternal spiritual vigilance that truth can and will out.


THE VOICE BOX: An important website for those seeking to run a ‘physical mediumship circle’. “The main aim of this, The Voice Box web site, is to promote and encourage the development and safe practice of physical mediumship. But it is also hoped, that it will encourage those interested, to study all forms of mediumship and to practice and participate where possible. Apart from publishing as many stories of mediums of the past, and what they used to do to develop their mediumship, the trials and tribulations that they had to suffer at the hands of the law and the scientists, we are hoping that readers, during their own investigations and development, will share their experiences and phenomena obtained with our other readers. Maybe you run a physical circle and have had phenomena that you would like to share with other like minded people and developing circles. In turn, giving encouragement to those who may not yet be as advanced as your group. We would like reports on seances both old and new. A well reported seance always makes interesting reading.” Read more .. http://www.the-voice-box.com/

‘HOW I BROKE HOUDINI’S CODE’ by Arthur Ford now online. Thanks to Tom Jones for the alert that this important article is now on the survivalafterdeath.org website. Harry Houdini was a flamboyant magician who during his lifetime on earth early last century was actively against spiritualism. Through the brilliant mediumship of Arthur Ford (1896-1971), Mrs Houdini, after her husband Harry died, received critical code messages from his mother and from Harry Houdini himself to show the afterlife does exist. BEATRICE HOUDINI confirmed that the message transmitted to the medium Arthur Ford was genuine. This is what Beatrice Houdini stated in her own writing, witnessed by three distinguished witnesses, H Zander, N Chester and J.W. Stafford, “Regardless of any statements made to the contrary, I wish to declare that the message in its entirety and in the agreed upon sequence, given to me by Arthur Ford, is the correct message pre- arranged between Mr Houdin and myself.”(signed) B Houdini.

14th April 2006

COMMENTARY: CHRISTIAN EASTER: First, I respect your religious beliefs whether they are Christian, Jewish (Happy Passover), Moslem or anything else. This is my comment on traditional Easter as it is observed in the West- and in Christian countries. Traditional Easter in the West and in Christian countries refers primarily to when Jesus was ‘resurrected’. Conservative Christian theologians believe that Jesus was the ONLY person resurrected from death. See Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter about where Easter came from (mainly a Pagan festival). According to the Nicene Creed ( "I believe in God …) which is recited at every Christian mass/service, we humans remain underground until Jesus “shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead.” That is ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

Empirical mediumship repeatedly informs us that ALL humans on crossing over will be immediately ‘resurrected’ and continue living in an afterlife dimension. The Nicene Creed was first drafted under the auspices of Roman Emperor Constantine in Nicaea (Turkey) in 325 AD. Emperor Constantine for political reasons, tried to unify the diversified Christians in North Africa and in Eastern Europe who were causing problems for the Roman Empire. The ‘Nicene Creed’ is full of technical errors and fundamental inconsistencies with empirically elicited information of to day and was drafted in an age of enormous superstition. Incidentally, The Nicaean Creed was approved by Emperor Constantine, who himself was NOT a Christian at the time. He had not been baptized, was a Pagan Mithraist sun worshipper and someone who murdered six members of his family, including his wife Fausta who was killed by being thrown in a bath of boiling water. This Emperor Constantine is also on record for beheading his eleven year old son. There is an Easter for each human being who crosses over – resurrection of the body, mind and the continuation of the spirit in an afterlife dimension. The authority for this is one hundred and fifteen years of empirical research. It is universally recognized that in any inconsistency between science, empiricism and theology, inevitably science and empiricism prevail and will ALWAYS prevail over theology.

PSYCHICS AND THE POLICE. There is a controversy at the moment in Australia – a federal police investigating officer was suspended because the officer went to consult a (psychic) medium about a plan to assassinate the Australian Prime Minister, John Howard. The Australian Federal Police Force (AFPF) admitted they had come to a dead end in their investigations. My view, based on precedents, is that the investigating police officers should consult a psychic IF the psychic has a successful track record of being accurate about crime detection or crimes to be committed – pre-cognitive as Chris Robinson from England is to-day. Mostly psychics in the past have been assisting the police, federal and State, on an ‘off the record’ basis. But clearly, conduct is showing that leadership in the AFPF is unnecessarily restricting itself. There are heaps of documented examples in the United States, in the U.K. and Australia when highly gifted mediums assisted the police. Why not judge by the results? Why not investigate the cases when gifted psychics were one hundred per cent accurate and avoided serious crime – such as assassination. The police chief responsible for negatively interfering with psychic crime detection because of his own negatively entrenched bias could himself be responsible for a situation where a serious crime could have been prevented.

IS ‘PSYCHIC’ TAINTED? There are a number of psychics, such as Allison Dubois, who do not like to use the word ‘psychic’ because the word has been tainted, has been used as a term of abuse, has been associated with negativity. There are people who are not psychic but who call themselves psychic to cheat, lie, manipulate, exploit and fleece people out of their hard earned income. I came across some of these people myself – they’re QUACKS!! I am hoping the public will be discriminating when it comes to ‘psychics.’ Even among the professional psychics, there are some who are more specific and more accurate than others.

*** ‘TAINTED’ WORDS: The word ‘politician’ has also become a ‘tainted’ word these days. When mummy asked little Johnny what he wanted to be when he grew up he said, “A politician!’ Mum’s response, “Politician!? You mean you want to go into corruption you little brat?” In America the word “lawyer” has also been tainted. Lawyers rank fairly low these days in the list of respected professions in the U.S.– perhaps just below Catholic priests. But we all have to discriminate between the good and the bad, between the fake and the genuine, between the mediocre and the highly gifted. Attaining the right, legitimate result is a good way of judging anything if it has value.

EXPERIENCING THE PARANORMAL: People asked me this week if I ever had paranormal experiences. Of course I had – and still have! I find that personal paranormal (psychic) experiences are far more powerful, more potent and more convincing than anything else– more even than all the empirical evidence for psi and the afterlife. I knew I had certain gifts from the time I was a small boy. But it was only a couple of decades ago that I was taught professionally about how to experience the paranormal. And I can state without reservation that I repeatedly experienced some critical psi experiences such as remote viewing, clairaudience and communicating with intelligences from the afterlife. I do not have to continue to say that I am in perfect health in mind and body – I’ve stated that many times. And I notice that surveys taken in America show that over 70% of people at one time or another also experienced the paranormal. It does not mean anything that some hardened closed minded debunker (and those others who are blind, deaf and dumb to psi) keeps on shouting that the experience has to be confirmed in a science laboratory. It just shows how backward and ignorant these debunkers are when assessing anything to do with the paranormal- with non-physical energy. LOVE cannot be tested in a lab and shown to exist using debunkers’ reductionist science. Does that mean LOVE does not exist?

NEW EVIDENCE – approx. TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF CHRISTIAN DOGMA NOT CORRECT - JESUS WAS NOT BETRAYED BY JUDAS! The publication in the media just recently of a claim that Judas did not betray Jesus would have stunned Christian orthodoxy. For some two thousand years Christian leaders, following the Bible, blamed Judas for betraying Jesus. Read more….http://snipurl.com/p4ss
Not only that, this week a former Jesuit priest claimed that the Church has unfairly maligned Satan.
http://snipurl.com/p4st

Some years ago another former priest, Johannes Greber, published a book which claims that Jesus never stated there was ‘eternal damnation’. He said the word ‘eon’ in the Bible means ‘a period of time’ but when used before the word punishment was maliciously mistranslated by some wicked ecclesiastic translator to mean ‘eternal’ when translating the Bible from Greek to Latin. The original Greek version of the Bible states ‘eon’ but NEVER ‘eternal.’ Empirically minded people – those who do not believe blindly, want proof that anything they are told to accept has empirical substance. Empirically minded people want to know WHO wrote the religious writings, the evidence that what they stated was inspired, WHAT changes have been made to them and on whose AUTHORITY the changes were made.

WHAT IS AN 'AURA'? “The AURA consists of the vibrations set up by the body. There are many auras, but the ones that are known to your world are the auras that surround the physical body and the spirit body. All things have auras, even things which do not have consciousness with them. The aura consists of the vibrations that emanate from the body, and according to the state of the body, so there are different vibrations. Those who can see the auras and can interpret them know all the secrets of the individual. They can diagnose the health of the individual. They know the state of his soul and his mind’s unfoldment … ” This information about the AURA was transmitted from the afterlife by Silver Birch SILVER BIRCH TEACHINGS, p.207 ed by A.W. Austen – Psychic Press, UK). The Russians were the first in the world to photograph the aura. I, myself, have seen auras after some training in aura perception. A colleague of mine, one of the most respected psychologists in his time had his own life saved by an Indian expert in auras. When the psychologist (Ron) was in India this aura expert told Ron to go see a cancer specialist right away. Ron years later stated that the warning by the Indian aura expert absolutely saved his life.

INTERESTING BOOK: In "Love Never Dies", “Sandy Goodman lights a path of understanding through the darkness of loss. Her honesty and love will help anyone dealing with the pain of grief.” John Edward, Host of John Edward Cross Country on WE TV. Sandy Goodman says, “When someone you love has died, there are few words that capture grief's intensity. Despair, anguish, and devastation come to mind but even these seem inadequate. I've heard it likened to suddenly having the unending shriek of jet engines in your head. It interferes with everything you think, do, or say. It won't go away. It incapacitates you. When my 18 year old son died in 1996, I found an endless supply of information to assist me in the journey through what is believed to be the universal stages of grief. I found articles on "closure" and books about "moving on" but I found nothing that gave me permission to continue my relationship with my son. Everywhere I looked, death was an end to whatever existed before. I had no desire to stop being Jason's mother. I wanted to work my way through the grief, but I intended to come out on the other side with my connection to Jason still intact.” Read more http://www.loveneverdies.net

QUACKERY: Very occasionally we get some funny looking debunker on cable television telling us he’s got lots of money for anyone who can prove that the paranormal is genuine. My view is that what this guy is offering is not genuine. The same guy is on record for stating about the monitory offer, “I will always have a way out (of paying …)”. Now that says it all. The same debunker defended this stance by stating words to the effect, “ well, since there the paranormal does not exist … I do not have to pay anything.” Would this debunker – ignored by most gifted mediums - who on the one hand claims he’s willing to pay money if one can validate the paranormal BUT on the other hand comes across as stating that he will NEVER pay a cent because - even before any testing of a psychic has taken place – he shows that his mind is already made up! Would you not call that negatively minded debunker a cheat and a liar, someone who is trying to fool the American people? Most people I came across said of they would ! This same debunker has NOT taken on MY challenge of $1million to show that the afterlife evidence is not valid. The afterlife is an absolute certainty and the consequences are HUGE!

COMMENTARY: "you can't prove the negative' the uninformed debunkers erroneaously keep on saying. Occasionally I receive emails from closed minded skeptics – more rarely recently - that it is impossible to apply to my challenge to win one million dollars to show that the afterlife does not exist. These debunkers claim that since there is no afterlife anyway, no one can ever prove the non-existence of something which does not and cannot exist. The adage, ‘you can’t prove the negative’ in the afterlife context is outrageously ridiculous because the afterlife evidence is EXPRESSLY STATED. I presented TWENTY ONE different areas of the afterlife evidence, then procedurally, the debunking skeptic has to rebut the expressly stated evidence. The rebutting has to be done in relation to the positively expressly stated each area of the afterlife evidence. That has NEVER been done. It can NEVER be done. Because NO ONE can ever rebut objective ‘repeatable’ evidence, no one. An article will be published later on this topic.

DOES PRAYER WORK? A report by Benedict Carey in New York April 1st 06 stated that contrary to previous findings, prayers offered by strangers had no effect on the recovery of people undergoing heart surgery. The study was led by Dr Herbert Benson, director of the Mind/Body Medical Institute near Boston. Because there was a systematic observation of some 1800 patients over ten years, it is stated that the study is ‘scientific.’ Why do I NOT agree with the findings? When I was doing a major in Scientific Method I learned that to ask at least one critical question to determine whether a scientific study had any merit: what intervening variables were controlled?

CRITICAL DIFFERENCE: Whilst previous studies on the healing power of prayer produced positive, even miraculous results, in this particular study prayers were performed by members of three Christian groups in monasteries and elsewhere - two Catholic and one Protestant - who were given written prayers and the first name and initial of the last name of the prayer subjects. The prayers started on the eve of or day of surgery and lasted for two weeks.

SPIRITUAL HEALING - But with previous similar studies, prayers took the form of sending ‘healing’. They used healers who were able to actively transmit healing vibrations energy onto the targeted patient. This means that positive, healing energy is being transmitted to the sick person directly as distinct from just general Christian praying to God asking for the patient to be healed.

CONCLUSION: Psychic spiritual healing by a gifted healer is far more effective than traditional religious praying. So that it is important to identify two most definitive variables: WHO is doing the healing and HOW is the healing is done.
ADVANCED CHRISTIAN THINKING: A wonderful interdenominational forum which takes the view that scientific investigation of the afterlife and psychic phenomona reinforces the central message of Christianity has been set up by The Rev. Michael Cocks and The Rev. Victor MacGill. Called
‘The Ground of Faith” it contains a number of interesting articles and reviews and links. Highly recommended.

ANGELS! The international magazine READERS’ DIGEST of April 2006 – for Australia, had an article about angels. The article produced some startling statistics and some very stunning facts about the claims that angels had a critical role in our lives. Gallup religious poll showed in a 2004 survey that 78% believed in the existence of angels. In 1978 the belief was 54%. This is something which cannot really be put to empirical testing. This is about ‘experiential’ acceptance of a positive force especially in some crisis. The report stated that in Australia six out of ten people believe angels watch over people. Women are much more likely to have faith in an angelic power – with seven out of ten saying they believe, as opposed to around four in ten men. Belief was consistently strong across all age groups from 18 to 64.

NORTH WEST MINNISOTA PSYCHICAL SOCIETY ‘is a private group dedicated to the research and investigation of paranormal phenomena. Research and investigations are conducted in a scientific, non-metaphysical manner, with emphasis on site-based environmental data collection. All data collected is measured against established base readings to determine the existence and possible cause of reported paranormal activity. For more information: www.nwmps.net/ Information on similar societies in your area is available on the Supernatural Web Directory.

MIND UNLIMITED: Discovery Channel showed a documentary recently about the psychic ability of the human mind to do marvelous things that reductionist science just cannot explain. I know with absolute certainty, that the mind can see the future, can see the past, can communicate with other minds telepathically in our dimension and with the afterlife dimension. For sixteen years of in-depth research I, with many other credible experimenters, have been able to make contact with afterlife intelligences and get specific answers to specific questions. This is consistent with other highly credible transmissions from the other side as we get in the Silver Birch’s, Anthony Borgia’s, Arthur Findlay’s – works and other magnificent transmissions which show universal consistency over time and space about the huge potential of the mind on earth and thenafter, about the existence of the afterlife and what to expect once we cross over to the other side.

‘SKEPTICISM’: from the earliest Greeks – before the Christian era, in itself skepticism allows for possible confirmation of some hypothesis or belief . This meant being open minded to ideas, to concepts and other new phenomena to be considered. But the closed minded debunkers unfairly HIJACKED the term ‘skepticism’ and used the word ‘skepticism’ to mean that nothing but being closed minded, unqualifiedly negative, that any new phenomena unless it is materialist cannot be validated. Note very carefully: there are true open minded skeptics – as I am and there are these closed minded skeptics we will NOT call them ‘skeptics’ anymore – but we call these closed minded skeptics - ‘DEBUNKERS.’ To me debunkers are losers and defeatists. Why? Because being a debunker means having a belief that nothing exists after this physical life. BUT these debunkers have never ever produced any evidence to show that what they believe in has any empirical substance at all. This means they have a personal belief, no different from a religious person with a personal belief – it is a subjective belief. And all subjective beliefs are subject to COMPLETE INVALIDATION whereas all afterlife evidence has the substance of being empirically elicited – click on BOOK top right.
