COMMENTARY:
CLOSED-MINDED SKEPTICS' COLOSSAL
INCOMPETENCE Several closed-minded
skeptics keep on referring to Susan Blackmore Ph.D.
as the authority that near-death experiences
are nothing but hallucinations. However by not understanding
what constitutes admissible evidence, she shows she
is NOT COMPETENT to deal with NDEs. Is this the best
the closed minded skeptics can do?
Alex Tsakiris did an excellent job of showing that
Susan Blackmore is completely out of touch with NDE
research: in their 2010 interview she admitted she
had not read anything on NDEs for 15 years (see
interview).Others have shown that her own research
qualifications are extremely weak (Carter 2012 pp.106-111).
However I noticed that no-one is challenging her on
her failure to rebut the OTHER 95% of the evidence for
the afterlife which supports NDEs. Inevitably, the evidence
from Out of Body Experiences, Deathbed Visions, Mediumship
Research, ITC etc. etc. all supports the validity of
NDEs.
LEGAL REASONING AND THE AFTERLIFE My
professional experience as an attorney shows that
when lawyers take a case to court they have to answer
all of the evidence presented.
Why is it then that Susan Blackmore never deals with ALL
the afterlife evidence which supports NDEs? I seriously
advise her to go and see an attorney to educate her and
to advise her that without doing this she has no credibility.
FRENCH DOCUMENTARY ON NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES SONIA
BARKALLAH'S documentary (with English subtitles) brings
together cardiologists, neurologists, anaesthetist-ICU
doctors, doctors, and psychologists. Leaving the theory
of hallucination behind once and for all, and instead
focusing on a possible delocalisation of our consciousness,
we understand that the hint of a new paradigm is gradually
taking shape. (Read
more from the French website).
HELP!
The International Association for Near Death Studies
(IANDS) is making a very important
NDE research book available to English-speaking audiences.
The project involves translating and publishing a
recent Dutch book by NDE researchers Titus Rivas,
Anny Dirven and Rudolf
Smit (picture below right) that details 78 cases of
veridical (verified) perceptions and other paranormal
aspects of NDEs. Veridical perceptions in NDEs provide
the best evidence that
the mind has actually separated from the physical
body.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN EVP AND ITC Donna
Smith-Moncrieffe and Dr. Craig Hogan explore the topic
of instrumental transcommunication. This
episode includes a sample electronic voice phenomenon
(EVP) clip of a 3 year old girl who passed to spirit
and later left messages that were recorded for the
mother to hear. Photos and transimages are provided
as examples of how researchers use electronic equipment
to communicate with the other side. Concepts covered
include: EVP, ITC, Faraday cage, biometrics, recording
techniques, and more.
MEDIUM 9- EXCELLENT NEW BOOK Donna
Smith-Moncrieffe continues gathering evidence for
the afterlife, this time going where few have gone,
into the world of dark séances. Using her finely
honed critical skills she makes the reader aware that,
far from having died out, genuine physical mediumship
still exists. She systematically describes the evidence
she personally gathered in a series of paradigm shifting
séances held in the United States. Ever the
thorough researcher, she conducts fascinating follow-up
interviews with witnesses and experts in the field.
Her conclusions will stun you. Check
out the contents.
THE LIMITS OF CONVENTIONAL SCIENCE Conventional sciences
are limited to events which can be measured objectively
using the five human senses. However our five senses
only operate within a very limited fraction of the
entire electromagnetic spectrum. Just as animals can
detect sound and movement that humans cannot, some
humans called "sensitives" can see hear
and sense things that others cannot.
DR. ELISA MEDHUS TALKS ABOUT HER AFTER DEATH
CONTACT EXPERIENCES
After her son Eric committed suicide, Elisa Medhus,
a physician raised by militant atheists, found herself
in deep grief. Then her father claimed that Eric had
appeared to him. Visits to other family members soon
followed.
SPACE AND TIME IN THE AFTERLIFE
In
this information transmitted directly from the afterlife
Mons. Hugh Benson tries to give us some idea about
travel in the afterlife.
"I can stand before my house and I can think
to myself that I would like to visit the library in
the city which I can see some "miles" away
in the distance. No sooner has the thought passed
with precision through my mind than I find myself-
if I desired it - standing before the very shelves
that I wish to consult. I have made my spirit body
- and that is the only body I have - travel through
space with the rapidity of thought, and that is so
rapid that it is equivalent to being instantaneous!
I have covered the intervening space instantaneously,
but the space still remains there with everything
it contains, although I had no cognisance (awareness)
of time or the passage of time."
ARE UFOs ALSO GOING BEYOND SPACE AND TIME? Conventional
physics claims that extraterrestials
could never travel at the speeds beyond light needed
to cross the immensity of space. But David Ash and
Peter Hewitt claim that the fact that UFOs have been
seen to appear and disappear shows that they are simply
increasing their vibrations and "moving in and
out of space time rather than through it (The
Vortex, p.70)."
Surely this shows yet another reason for scientists
to be studying physical mediumship and the phenomena
of apports.
ALEX TANOUS- WONDERFUL PROOF THAT OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES
ARE REAL. Alex Tanous
(1926-1990) was a brilliant academic, teacher, psychic
medium and healer who worked for many years with the
American
Society for Psychical Research on psychic experiments.
He repeatedly confirmed the phenomenon Out of Body Experiences
with scientists Karlis Osis and Boneita Perskari. Read

ANTI- SPIRITIST VIOLENCE IN BRAZIL? Police
in Brazil are investigating the brutal murder of physical
medium and psychic surgeon Gilberto Arruda, 73, who claimed
to do psychic surgery on many famous people with the aid
of a World War II German doctor, Frederich Von Stein. In
a separate incident the glass walls of the tomb of famous
medium Chico Xavier were damaged in several places. There
has been a wave of similar incidents in recent days, especially
in Rio de Janeiro. Evangelicals have been blamed for the
violence. "When we see signs of religious intolerance
in our city it is very worrying," said the Archbishop
of Rio, Orani Tempesta. "I am sure that these attackers
are a minority, they are not Christians." Read

QUESTION: Victor,
which area of afterlife evidence do you think will be
the most convincing in the near future?
Victor: All areas of the afterlife
are convincing and are refining all the time. But two
particular areas that are likely to cause a revolution
about the afterlife are:
1. MATERIALIZATIONS IN THE LIGHT.
The problem
we have in demonstrating materializations is that in most
cases ectoplasm, the substance extracted from the medium
to create the form, cannot cope with light. But if and
when sophisticated video cameras that do not emit radiation
of any kind are developed it may be possible to physically
film materialized spirits.
2. INSTRUMENTAL COMMUNICATION: this
is when the image of an afterlife entity, a spirit, is
shown
on a screen. Some images
are being seen and some messages are being taped separately.
But imagine how it will be when loved ones
are repeatably able to come on a screen and be seen as
they leave a message. What is likely to happen in the
future is that we will be able to see a loved one, definitely
identifiable, on a screen. We may even be able to have
a short conversation. Theoretically it is possible because
we can get spirit voices on tape and can get images of
afterlife entities on a television screen. See
Mark Macy's blog.
" MY RELIGION IS KINDNESS" says
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama. Recent research shows
that humans are hardwired for compassion, empathy and
kindness. Which explains why videos
about kindness are so popular.

(Three only). Received always with thanks!
1) "... When I read your Friday letter
I am so often filled with love and joy for all the world;
sometimes it moves me to tears." Roberta.
2) I just wanted to let you know how much
I appreciate your newsletter each week.... I find it informative
and useful, and I know it requires effort on your part each
week to produce it... Thank you again for your hard work
and sharing!!! Dougz
3) I loved that video about the dog, R.J. Wow! Every report
is absolutely stunning, as the explanations of skeptics
and pragmatists are always met head on. Unfortunately, what
do the skeptics do? Ignore. Cristina.
INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: Perhaps the greatest
love song ever written: THE POWER OF LOVE sung magnificently
by Jennifer Rush. This highly
talented singer outpours a great deal of voice power, feeling
and emotion, something which I would describe as absolutely
stunning!
THE POWER OF LOVE
JENNIFER RUSH
The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
as I look in your eyes.
I hold on to your body and feel each move you make.
Your voice is warm and tender
a love that I could not forsake.
'Cause I am your lady and you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can.
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take -
That all ends when I'm with you.
Even though there may be times
it seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am 'cause I am always by your
side.
'Cause I am your lady and you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can.
We're heading for something
somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
but I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love !
The sound of your heart beating
made it clear suddenly.
The feeling that I can't go on is light-years away.
'Cause I am your lady and you are my man. . . .
We're heading for something
somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
but I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love!
Ooh
the power of love
the power of love.
Sometimes I am frightened
but I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love !!
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.
We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal
research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
