COMMENTARY: THE IMPORTANCE OF SHARING SPIRITUALLY
TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES One
of the most important things for people who have had near-death
or other spiritually transformative experiences is the
opportunity to talk about them in a supportive environment.
We live in a materialistic society where there has been
a conspiracy of silence around these experiences. For
many years mainstream psychiatrists regarded them as indicating
psychiatric illness. But some psychologists, beginning
with Jung and Maslow, followed
by the whole Transpersonal
Psychology movement, have realised that they can be
healthy, life-enhancing, and promote personal and spiritual
development.
Fortunately, today there are many wonderful opportunities
for people to share their experiences that were not available
when we started this work 30 years ago. People today can
receive many sources of validation that they are not crazy
when they have a non-ordinary experience. As well as books
and journals, there are many youtube video channels, podcasts
and online radio programs, facebook discussion groups
and online zoom groups where you can talk directly with
experiencers. Wonderful organisations like The
Forever Family Foundation, IANDS
(which is holding its annual
conference this weekend), Helping
Parents Heal, and AREI
are creating communities where people's non-ordinary
experiences are validated, afterlife contact is normalised,
and resources are freely shared. To learn more about some
of the many resources now available see
our page on resources.
ENTERING INTO THE SPIRIT WORLD
WITH WILLIAM BUHLMAN William
Buhlman talks about what we as a species have learned
from 40 years of exploring near-death experiences and
out of body experiences. He speaks with power, sincerity,
and conviction. His message is clear - it is a form of
insanity that the vast majority of the members of the
human species are pawns of belief systems; they don't
know where they came from or where they are going after
death.
THE POWER OF NOTES (NON-ORDINARY
TRANSCENDENT EXPERIENCES) The
Power of NOTEs by Nicole Gruel Ph.D. is "a
self-empowerment guide for experiencers of NOTEs (non-ordinary
transcendent experiences). NOTEs include spiritual awakening,
near-death, mystical, kundalini, paranormal, peak, psychedelic,
visionary, out-of-body, dark-night, and hundreds of
other extraordinary experiences that happen to ordinary
people every day across the planet.
NOTEs are on the rise, thanks to the
smorgasbord of spiritual development tools, consciousness-altering
substances, life-resuscitating technologies, and an
ever-increasing appetite to hack human potential. They’re
often pleasant, sacred, and expansive, and, in time,
can be integrated smoothly into our life. But sometimes
they’re complex and challenging, even life-threatening."

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE? Jurgen
Ziewe writes: "During deep explorations via OBEs
into other states of consciousness over the last forty
years, I have become aware how much our “post-life“
experience will be tied to our current state of consciousness,
and how our future fate here will be a mirror of our
total disregard for our connectedness with the environment
we live in. In other words, for many who are unaware
and driven by blind instinct in this virtual reality
they live in, will simply be wandering around in an
identical copy of this world, with little change."
DR. DEAN RADIN IN A RECENT INTERVIEW Dean
is a fascinating speaker who has a way of making his
research as chief scientist at the Institute
of Noetic Sciences exciting and relevant. He has
tested the existence of telepathy, precognition, mind-matter
interaction, and other anomalies of the mind using all
of the procedures and methods of traditional science.
He shows that the results for the existence of these
abilities are overwhelming. Listen.
WHAT HAPPENS TO CELEBRITIES
IN THE AFTERLIFE - SWEDENBORG AND LIFE
Have you ever been curious about what's
going on with famous people in the afterlife? Emanuel
Swedenborg was able to visit some of them and find out
their situation. Here are three examples of how people
continue to learn, grow, and change after death.
THE FRENCH REVELATION Edward
Randall, a prominent Buffalo, New York trial lawyer
and corporate executive had no idea what Emily French
(died 1912) a direct-voice medium, was all about until
he first sat with her in 1892. After satisfying himself
that Mrs. French was a genuine medium and that he was
hearing from “spirit people,” including
his mother and father, Randall began having Mrs. French
sit in his own home in order to further rule out any
kind of trickery. Over the next 20 years Randall had
some 700 sittings with Mrs. French writing five books
about her mediumship. These books have been compressed
and re-released by White Crow books under the title
The
French Revelation. Read Michael Tymn's excellent
article about the book.
GRANDMA WHAT IS A SOUL? We
are often asked for suggestions of books about the afterlife
suitable for children. One of the first that comes to
mind is Dr. Karen Herrick's book 'Grandma
What is a Soul?'

KIM PARKER: A SHAMAN SHARING
Last week on our Global Gathering, Kim
Parker shared some of her fascinating experiences. Since
childhood she has been aware of other dimensions and later
in life found that undertaking shamanic training gave
her some additional tools to help people. You can follow
Kim's journey on her facebook page Shaman Sharing. https://www.facebook.com/shamanic.sharing/
WISDOM FROM WHITE EAGLE “Man
on his evolutionary path will learn that death is only
a transition from one level of matter to a higher ether,
and that within him is the power to build a bridge across
which he can travel in full consciousness into those higher
spheres and communicate with his loved ones, see the life
they are living, and enjoy with them the beauties of the
heavenly garden…” White
Eagle (a collective of advanced spirit teachers) through
medium Grace Cook.
YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH THAT EXTRA
BIT OF KINDNESS MAY MEAN TO ANOTHER PERSON Often in our busy days we forget that
the small things - a smile, a touch, a small kindness,
can mean the world to people under pressure.

1) "You nd your wife's book, totally changed my
life!" Nikki
2) "In 2006 I lost my Dad: 7 days later my mom
and a cat. Two weeks later I saw them in their world.
My mom looked so young it was odd for me as l looked
older than her. I spoke with them and hugged them. It
seemed like they were being welcomed and celebrating.
I have not had any communications since. The experience
made me happy and sad. I was happy to see them but felt
more like they were friends than my mom and dad. They
were not the same as when they were alive on earth as
they were so young looking. It made me feel as if l
really never had a mom or dad, but friends. Also, it
looked so much like living on earth but so much happiness
and well-being." Alex
3) "Thank you for sharing Gretchen's talk on pet
loss. I'd like to be a part of the zoom group supporting
people who are missing their animals but the email address
seems to have the wrong name on it." Jenn
Apologies Jenn and others, we put the wrong email address
in the video. Here is a

HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: ONE
MOMENT IN TIME The theme
song for the 1988 Seoul Olympics 'One Moment in Time'
is an anthem for believing in yourself against all the
odds and seizing the moment to live your destiny. This
version is sung by Dana Winner, a Belgian singer who
is famous especially in Flanders, South Africa, and
the Netherlands.
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
For ev'ry gain
To taste the sweet
I faced the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment in time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid my plans
Now, lay the chance
Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment in time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
You're a winner
For a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
