Next week's Afterlife Zoom Groups are listed at the bottom of this report and here as well.
COMMENTARY: WHAT IF YOU REALLY KNEW THAT THERE IS NO DEATH? We are so fortunate to be living at this time when there is an explosion of information available about what REALLY happens when we "die". When we first started writing about the afterlife around 1990 the only relevant books that we could find were in "esoteric" or "occult" bookshops and libraries.
Today, thanks to the World Wide Web and YouTube, anyone searching for information on evidence for life after death has a huge amount of information to choose from. Our book (below left) is designed to provide you with a map of the field and the terminology that will lead you quickly to the best sources.
One reviewer, Brian, wrote: "I have purchased multiple copies of his book and encouraged others to read it. One of my friends, who was basically agnostic before reading it, now says he is excited about who we are and no longer afraid of death. As any good lawyer would do, Dr. Zammit thoroughly researched his case and gathered the best examples of NDEs, ADCs, DBVs, mediums, and so on, all of which are evidence for the survival of consciousness after death. And also like a good lawyer, he is concise. He makes his case and leaves it in the hands of the jury (us) to decide. It's a marvelous book. I enjoyed every page."
AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE EVIDENCE
For those those who would like a quick overview of the evidence, check out Dr. Craig Hogan's excellent talk below and his website Seek Reality.
BRILLIANT PHYSICIST FEDERICO FAGGIN SAYS SCIENCE IS READY FOR CONSCIOUSNESS
In this fascinating interview, Federico Faggin, designer of the first commercial microprocessor, urges science to embrace consciousness to explain the weirdness of quantum physics and use it as the instrument of scientific investigation. "There need no longer be a duality between mind and matter," he says. "With consciousness, you can reach reality from the inside." He makes a startling suggestion - "that matter is the ink with which consciousness writes its own self-knowing".
PHYSICST THOMAS CAMPBELL CLAIMS CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES THE PHYSICAL WORLD
Thomas Campbell has been having out-of body experiences since he was seven years old.
Since then, he has been exploring other dimensions.
In this conversation, Campbell (author of My Big TOE) breaks down consciousness in simple terms: how reality may be information-based, why love lowers fear, and what that means at the moment of death. He explains the “transition” as a natural shift of awareness—not a spooky event—plus how near-death experiences fit into a larger model of reality.

Our guests on the Global Gathering next Sunday/Monday will be leading a discussion on Thomas Campbell's work.
AFTER-DEATH CONTACTS
A huge number of people have seen or heard a person or an animal after they have died. Very often people will tell you that someone they loved appeared at the foot of their bed and told them that they had just died. In many such cases, the death was unexpected, and the person had died just before they were seen. In 1973, a University of Chicago sociologist asked a sample of 1,467 Americans if they had ever felt they had communicated 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 of respondents said "yes". Read more.
AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATIONS Christine Duminiak is a devout Catholic who had a spontaneous experience of after-death communication when her dead parents-in-law showed up in her bedroom and stayed an hour.
DO WE STILL HAVE A BODY WHEN WE DIE "The Way of Life" is a guide to the afterlife giving 419 extracts from verbatim records of sittings with John Campbell Sloan, the famous Glasgow direct voice medium, taken from the works of, and arranged by Arthur Findlay. Below is how one spirit mentioned described his solid body.
"I have a body that is a duplicate of what I had on earth, the same hands, legs and feet, and they move the same as yours do. This etheric body I had on earth interpenetrated the physical body. The etheric is the real body and an exact duplicate of our earth body. At death, we just emerge from our flesh covering and continue our life in the etheric world, functioning by means of the etheric body just as we functioned on earth in the physical body. This etheric body is just as substantial to us now as the physical body was to us when we lived on earth. We have the same sensations. When we touch an object, we can feel it, when we look at something, we can see it. Though our bodies are not material, as you understand the word, yet they have form and feature and expression. We move from place to place as you do, but much more quickly than you can."
QUESTION: RELIGIONS IN THE AFTERLIFE
Will those who practice a religion remain in their religion for all eternity? For example, will Christians remain Christians forever?
Highly credible information from afterlife teachers tells us that in the early stages after arriving in the afterlife, people continue to practice their particular religion. There are beautifully constructed mosques, temples, cathedrals, etc. But as spirits go to the higher realms, they completely drop ALL religious beliefs. They accept that there is one God and one religion, the religion of love.

COUPLE
FULFILL A PACT TO COMMUNICATE Douglas and Eira Conacher were a devoted married couple with a publishing business in Central London. They were determined that whoever died first would try to contact the other from the afterlife. Douglas, 20 years older than Eira, died on June 6, 1958. A few months later, Douglas contacted Eira through direct voice medium Leslie Flint. They carried on regular conversations over the next few years and authored two books together about the spirit world with both their names on the cover. Listen to their conversations, especially the one on February 6th, 1962 where they talk about spirit guides. Douglas tells Eira about the infinite possibilities that we can experience as we move further away from material conditions.
"THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH" BY SOMEONE LIVING THERE Douglas Conacher described his life beyond the grave speaking in direct voice through Leslie Flint. He talked about hospitals, reception areas, the conditions of newly arrived souls, architecture, and the effect of colors that are used in architecture. He says that souls need to eat in the lower spheres, but as they progress they find food is no longer necessary. Qualifications are required to be a teacher, just as on Earth. The way of life reflects life on Earth until one gradually becomes more developed and moves toward higher spheres. There is gardening in the afterlife and flowers grow as high as trees. People sow, plant, and reap in natural soil. He describes the extraordinary colors, perfumes, and the auras of flowers.

Exploring Different Styles of Meditation with George Lockett This month's meditation:
In the Northern Hemisphere, we are moving toward winter. Nature is slowing down and preparing for winter. Human consciousness also follows this natural rhythm, and we move towards a time of contemplation and reflection. The meditation will focus on self-healing, repair, and planning for the new year. We will raise our vibration and release any negativity. In the Southern Hemisphere, we are moving towards spring and starting to awaken to a new year of achievement. We will align with nature and listen to our hearts' guidance.
George E. Lockett has spent 50 years practising Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, often in large groups of people meditating together. He has experienced transcending and having out-of-body experiences.

Global Gathering: What is the Nature of Reality? Who are We? What are We Doing here? Norwegian Tittti Nordieng (pronounced Teedee) has been studying Tom Campbell’s Big TOE (Theory of Everything) for several years and has found it life-changing. Titti and Demetrios will be sharing an early test screening of a film, The Pause, Inspired by the basic ideas in My Big TOE, that they are currently producing. The film is still at the animatic stage rather than being an animated film. It consists of a 12-minute animatic still storyboard, sketches shown in sequence with dialogue, music and sound. They would like to show the story to a group of people who are not already familiar with the model and hear how it comes across to them before they move into animation.This is a stage where feedback would be very valuable — once they begin animating, making changes becomes much more difficult. The discussion will be guided by Andrew Rundle-Keswick who is familiar with their work.

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS Best-selling author Wayne Dyer was a leading figure for nearly 40 years in the New Thought movement — a century-old spiritual school of thought that believes God is everywhere, individuals have the divine spirit within themselves, and one’s thinking has the power to change one’s world or heal disease. He spent much of his life until he was 10, growing up in an orphanage after his alcoholic father left him, his mother, and two brothers. Two years before writing his breakthrough book, Your Erroneous Zones (1976), Dyer found out his father had died and went to visit his grave. He recounted feeling outraged and angry until a sudden calm came over him. "From this moment on I send you love,” Dyer said, “And I forgive you for everything that you have done". The grave site encounter launched his writing career and changed his life. Read more.
THEY ARE CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW "Try to remember that all of [the newly-departed] are real, human beings who are just as interested in you as ever they were before. Though they do not speak to you and you cannot hear them, they are here, each striving to do the utmost to assist you.
They are closer than you know. They know your secrets, the unspoken desires of your minds, your wishes, your hopes and your fears...
They are not vague, shadowy, nebulous beings, but real men and women who love you still and who are in reality closer to you than ever they have been before.

FEEDBACK
1) "As Dannion Brinkley says, the quickest way to change the world is to be of service to others. This is so true. I loved volunteering at Father Bob' soup kitchen. Volunteers gain just as much as those they care for."
Jo Buchanan
2) "I find that my dearly departed relatives appear to me in dreams, some more than others. We don't say anything generally, we shuffle around in the rooms, and I know that they know I am sensing them. Sounds weird, but I also see old pets, and often call their names. It's hard to wake up. I wish it could be more lucid, but one day, it will." Jandolin
3)
As always I enjoy reading your Afterlife report and sending you love. I have a new music album out called The Descent of the Celestials. It is available for download online at Amazon and Spotify, etc and soon as a physical CD via Spinney.com. It is a journey from Darkness into light, from despair into divine love. It is a combination of orchestral symphonic pieces along with vocal oratorios." Jimbeau Walsh
INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC
Wonderful music sung by Donna Taggart - with beautiful lyrics that remind us that even though we know how wonderful the afterlife can be, we still miss the physical presence of our loved ones. The song was written by Jenn Bostic, an American country music and Christian music singer-songwriter, based in Nashville, Tennessee. In 2012, her song "Jealous of the Angels" won her five awards at that year's Independent Country Music Association Awards. The song reached number one on the UK singer-songwriter charts.
Jealous of the Angels
Donna Taggart
"I didn't know today would be our last
Or that I'd have to say goodbye to you so fast
I'm so numb, I can't feel anymore
Prayin' you'd just walk back through that door
And tell me that I was only dreamin'
You're not really gone as long as I believe
There will be another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know
So I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then
God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
Singin' hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne
Tonight
