COMMENTARY:
SHARED NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES A GAME CHANGER A few years ago, it seemed like every month or so we would see news headlines claiming that some skeptic has "proved" that NDEs are hallucinations caused by oxygen deprivation, or an effect of the dying brain, or some other fanciful biologically-based explanation.
The fact that during NDEs people see and hear things that they could not possibly have normal access to is one of the most impressive lines of evidence that near-death experiences are far more than this. The book The Self Does Not Die: Verified Paranormal Phenomena from Near-Death Experiences (2016) by Titus Rivas, Anny Dirven, Rudolf H. Smit, Robert G. Mays, Janice Miner Holden (Editor) contains over 100 reliable, often firsthand, accounts of perceptions during NDEs that were later verified as accurate by independent sources.
Dr. Kenneth Ring and other researchers showed that another feature of many near-death experiences is a life review. The interesting thing about these is that they are not like replaying a video recording. Instead, experiencers see their lives from the perspective of everyone else they interacted with. They access the feelings and memories of the other people involved. These are things that they would have no normal way of knowing. (Ring and Valarino 1998).
There are at least 15 lines of evidence that refute the "dying brain" theory, but the gamechanger, the final piece of evidence that demolishes the biological argument, is that people can have an experience identical to an NDE when there is nothing physically wrong with them. Also that a bystander who is not ill or injured can share aspects of another person's NDE.
DR. RAYMOND MOODY DISCUSSES SHARED DEATH EXPERIENCES "This clearly undermines the standard counter-explanation of near-death experiences that they have to do with the compromise of the oxygen flow to the patient's brain because the bystanders were not ill or injured, the surgeon was not ill or injured... We're obviously dealing with something here that is more than the cut-off of Oxygen to the brain.
JEFFERY OLSEN'S NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE When Jeff Olsen's car rolled, he lost consciousness. Suddenly he found himself out of his body and "on the way to heaven" with his wife and baby son. He writes: "Then, suddenly, I was calm. The pain was gone. I looked around. I was floating above our car accident. Before I could react, I felt a presence near me. It was Tamara. We were encircled in a bubble of light that was emanating complete peace. I knew then she was gone, but it was as if my grief were suspended. All I could feel was serenity". Read more.
DR. JEFF O'DRISCOLL AND NURSE BOTH SEE THE SPIRIT OF JEFF OLSEN'S WIFE "Rachel (a nurse) and I stood in the doorway. The room was loud. A team of doctors worked to stabilize the patient (Jeff Olsen). As I watched, the sounds around me faded out. I couldn’t even hear Rachel speaking next to me. I sensed a divine presence in the room. And then I noticed a light. In it was the form of a woman, floating above the patient’s bed. She looked vibrant, otherworldly—I knew innately that this was the man’s wife". Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll.

ALL INDIGENOUS CULTURES KNEW HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRIT " ... If you examine the records of the past, you will find that the more you go back to primitive times, the more natural was the exercise of psychic faculties. But, like all other faculties, they have atrophied through long disuse and the number of those today who can register the vibrations of the spirit is very, very small. You, all of you, are living in prisons. You have five tiny windows to your prison, and these five apertures are your physical senses. You are unaware of the millions of happenings around you unless they can be seen, smelt, touched, tasted, or felt. But because you do not see the busy, teeming, active world around you, that does not mean to say it has no existence. It means only one thing, that you are unable to register its vibrations..." p.117 The Seed of Truth - Silver Birch.
PROJECT ST PETER - EPISODES 1 and 2
In 1986 George Meek's "Metascience Foundation INC" was building a “Celestial Broadcast System” - an advanced system of communications between people in non-physical form ("Spirit Team") and researchers on Earth. The goal was to assist mankind's search for advice on how to solve the earth’s problems, evolve, and end war.
The system was comprised of two pieces of equipment - “Angel I” and “Michael I”. A telepathic trance medium channeled instructions from the Science team in “Heaven” to the research team on “Earth" and told them how to build the device. They also presented many scientific and universal concepts in lecture format, given mostly by Dr. Albert Einstein.
This research project was code-named “Project St. Peter.” The "Spirit Team" included “53 illumined brothers and sisters of Celestial Universal stature” referred to as “LIFELINE” or “Alpha Celestial Unit One”. These "Spirit People" include many famous and well-known luminaries and personalities from around the world.

NEXT WEEK'S AFTERLIFE ZOOM GROUPS
Sunday 30th August 2020
Global Gathering: "Special Evidence for Life After Death." Few people know more about the evidence for the afterlife than Miles Edward Allen, who has been studying and writing about it since he was in college in the 1970s. Like many of us, early in his investigation he encountered a skeptic who refused even to look at the evidence. Since then, he has focused on refining the evidence and will be talking about some of the most compelling cases that you can read about in The Hereafter Trilogy: The Book That Removes All Doubt.

SALUTING ALL THOSE WORKING TO PROTECT WILD ANIMALS The past 30 years have seen the threats to our natural world increase at a terrifying rate. International Animal Rescue is one of many organisations working to save wild animals from the encroachment of human settlement and the cruel trade in exotic "pets".
A STORY OF SYNCHRONICITY Rev. Michael Cocks writes: "I love Stephen’s prayer about the Good Shepherd who leads us along our personal paths. The following story recounts how that Shepherd appeared to guide me as I drove over a mountain pass on a stormy night." In his blog post, he shares how he was guided to rescue a young lad who had been trying to commit suicide by exposing his body to the cold. Read more.
A SITTING IN THE POWER MEDITATION
A "sitting in the power" meditation is a meditation to help you connect with spirit for mediumship and psychic development. It was originally brought to the world by Glyn Edwards through a trance mediumship session at The Arthur Findlay College. This is Beverley Anne Freeman's version of "Sitting in the Power.
DUTCH WRITER SEEKS VOLUNTEERS TO HELP POLISH AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HIS BOOK
In August 2018 Paul J. Van Leeuwen self-published a book titled Kwantumfysica, Informatie en Bewustzijn in Dutch or ‘Quantum Physics, Information and Consciousness‘ in English. He has now translated the book into English but, because he is not a native speaker, he needs volunteers to read a few chapters and change the words that don't sound like good English sentences. Interested? Fill in this contact form.
1) "Hello Victor and Wendy,
I loved your Silver Birch quote. Hope all is well in Australia! Life is still great here in Santa Fe". Tom
2) "I always look forward to the Report and enjoy the content. Just wanted to say that "Finding Joe" particularly had resonance and was exactly what I needed today". Helaina
3) "It was great to read about Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross'
professional life studying death and dying. What I find interesting is when one medium gets the same information from spirit as another medium. I was also given the same information from spirit, that no one dies alone - this is so interesting. I see people after their sittings when I explain this, their life changes. This is worth everything". Marion Dampier Jeans.
4) "I can tell you that MB, my longtime friend and a counselor/hospice worker, told me just the other day, in a phone call, "It is VERY common to hear the dying speak to those loved ones who passed before us, VERY common."
HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: EVA CASSIDY AUTUMN LEAVES
One reviewer wrote about Eva Cassidy
"Imagine just stumbling into this club and hearing the greatest singer. Shocking transcendent beyond perfection."
Another said
"I've heard Nat King Cole, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald sing this song...beautifully. They sang it. This woman owned it. She took it apart, re-assembled it, infused it with her soul, her passions, her dreams and gave it to us. It was as if I had never heard it before. She not only gave something new to me, she drew something out of me. Her love for song aroused my love for listening. She danced with me...in a sense. I am touched. RIP Eva."
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
