DO WE HAVE A BODY IN THE AFTERLIFE? A lot of people who do accept that there is an afterlife are puzzled about what we would do there. Some have the idea that we float around from cloud to cloud with no opinions, no memories, being neither male nor female without any sense of identity.
Those who have researched this issue tell us that nothing could be further from the truth. They are unanimous in affirming that the afterlife is more solid than earth life, that our senses are more acute and that we retain our memories, emotions, and personalities.
One of the key properties of the astral level is that thought creates reality. People who have repeatedly visited the middle astral levels in out-of-body experiences all say that the environment we find ourselves in is very like physical life with streets and houses, trees and flowers, cities and beaches.
Check out the Afterlife Answers videos made by out-of-body experiencer Jurgen Ziewe (as well as his books and website). Have a look at the works of Emanuel Swedenborg, another out-of-body experiencer (the videos off-the-left-eye are a great introduction), the books of Anthony Borgia (especially 'Life in the World Unseen') the books of Arthur Findlay (especially 'On the Edge of the Etheric') and Mark Macy's blog where he has posted photographs of the astral realm received by instrumental trans communication. You could also listen to the Leslie Flint tapes where people from the afterlife talk in their own voices and describe their surroundings https://leslieflint.com/
JURGEN ZIEWE SAYS THE AFTERLIFE IS MORE PHYSICAL THAN EARTH, NOT LESS
GEORGE OLSON DESCRIBES HIS ARRIVAL IN THE AFTERLIFE Leslie Flint was a very rare kind of medium. In his presence, people from the afterlife could be heard speaking in their own voices. In this video, George Olson tells his friends Betty Greene and George Woods about his first experiences.
MORE EXCELLENT ACCOUNTS Journalist Neville Randall spent two years sifting through the hundreds of recordings made by George Woods and Betty Greene with people who spoke through medium Leslie Flint. From voices of long-dead actors and writers to husbands and mothers, religious leaders and soldiers - they all have a story to tell about what happens to us when we die. They describe where we go, what we see and who we meet. His book, Life After Death is a detailed account of life beyond the grave in the words of people who live there. It is perhaps the most reassuring and 'down-to-earth' book about the other side ever written. Read more.
AFTER DEATH COMMUNICATION PANEL: Suzanne Maiden, Malynda Cress, Anne Salisbury & Chuck Swedrock 6.30 - 21:00 Suzanne Maiden: Suzanne shares her journey from terminal cancer to talking to the dead.
21.20 - 36.30 Malynda Cress: talks about seeing the "transition team" waiting for their loved one during a shared death experience and seeing her friend's essence lift out from her body. She claims the feeling is similar to the love she felt during her NDE.
37.00 - 52.00 Anne Salisbury: is a psychic medium who facilitates communication with people after their transition.
CHRIS CARTER SAYS EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE "One of the major themes of my book ['Science and the Afterlife Experience'] is that there’s a third alternative, one that does not require a leap of faith and one that does not require embracing the pseudo-scientific ideology of materialism. There’s a third alternative, and it is to examine the evidence without prejudice, without materialistic prejudice or religious prejudice, and see what the evidence says. I believe that the conclusions that the evidence implies are not dogmatic. They do not ask people to go out and burn those who disagree with us at the stake or to wage war against those who disagree with us."
A CHILD DESCRIBES HIS LAST DAYS BEFORE TRANSITION
Russell described his experiences leaving his physical body and settling into the Summerland through medium Deborah Moore.
Some of the highlights: * I knew from the very beginning that I didn't have long upon the Earth plane. * I now know that you also knew it, Mum. From the very beginning, you knew I didn't have long. * During my last days upon the Earth I saw the lights of spirit, you know. I saw them many times upon the walls. I saw figures, beautiful figures. I saw figures clothed in white and great shining light that told me my time was not long, but not to be worried because they would be with me. There would be no terror, no horror, nothing nasty, and no darkness. It would be all right - they would be there. Read more.
CELEBRATING THE VISION OF MICHAEL NEWTON
Dr. Michael Newton was a pioneer in "between life regression". For 35 years he interviewed people in their "soul state" (a higher level of hypnosis) about what they encountered there. The result was the unfolding of incredible cases of meetings with spiritual guides and with the Councils of Elders. Together they would decide the purpose for the current incarnation and plan reunions with Soul Group members with whom we incarnate regularly. In May 2017 The Newton Institute Life Between Lives Therapist Network gathered in Maryland, U.S.A., as a tribute to Michael. The speaker is Peter Smith, who has been president of The Newton Institute from 2009 to 2018.
COMMUNICATION IN THE AFTERLIFE"When we focus our thoughts upon some person in the spirit world, whether they be in the form of a definite message, or whether they are solely of an affectionate nature, those thoughts reach their destination without fail, and they will be taken up by the percipient (receiver). After the use of organs of speech in conversation with each other, it was quite natural ... that we will be contacting each other telepathically, irrespective of distance ..." (by highly credible afterlife teacher Hugh Benson, former Monsignor in the Catholic Church).

Thousands flocked to see her at Camp Silver Belle which flourished in Ephrata, half way between Harrisburg and Philadelphia.

"SITTING IN THE POWER" MEDITATION

THE JOYS OF THE SPIRIT WORLD "There is nothing in your world of matter with which you can compare the life of the spirit, freed from the trammels of the flesh, escaped from the prison of the body of matter, with liberty to go where you will, to see your thoughts take shape, to follow the desires of your heart, to be freed from the troubles of money. No, you have not tasted the joys of the world of spirit.
You who are encased in matter do not yet comprehend beauty as it can be. You have not seen our light, colour, scenery, trees, birds, rivers, streams, mountains, flowers - and yet your world fears death".
1) "Victor, as you say, it [the afterlife] has nothing to do with religion. On the other hand, religion has everything to do with it. The problem is that religions don't really grasp that and thereby lead people astray while ignoring it and stressing "worship." Michael Tymn
2) "Interesting link to Mark Macy. Many similar conclusions coming out these days". Chris.
3) "Thank you so much for including mention of my NDE story and my book (Shine On) in your Friday Afterlife Report. Your website is absolutely fascinating and it's an honour to be included! Many blessings to you both from the other side of the world (UK)." David
INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: 'TOP OF THE WORLD' Something upbeat to prepare us for a wonderful day.
