COMMENTARY: GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS After some 30 years of researching the afterlife, we can confidently say that belief in the dogmas of religion will not have any effect on your entry into the levels of the Light on crossing over. We consistently receive information that as long as you are a reasonable person who shows kindness to others, who lives what we call "a good life", you will find yourself in a very pleasant, refined version of your life on earth.
Many people who follow the spirit of love, which is at the heart of all religions, can find community, inspiration, and motivation in their religious practices. But they will find themselves in beautiful surroundings, not because of their beliefs, but because of what they DID during their life on earth.
What is important when you cross over is your state of consciousness. The more you can develop a sense of empathy and connection with others, with nature, with all-that-is, the more expanded your consciousness will be. Some people gain this from the practices of their religion. Others develop it from the practice of meditation or from working passionately for the environment or with animals, through art or music or science or on a cause they are passionate about.
HOW AN NDE CHANGED THIS DOCTOR'S LIFE Dr. Mary Helen Hensley, author of ‘Promised By Heaven’ discusses how her near-death experience changed the course of her life to one of service and working with others. When she returned to earth, Mary Helen was suddenly struck with a desire to live a life of service and quickly set out on a journey into metaphysical healing. Her adventures took her to Ireland, where she went on to become a chiropractor, find love and new friendships, become a mother, and help numerous people with her gifts of communicating with the dead and seeing into the future.
HILDA DESCRIBES WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO DIE
"When I [died], I found that the most foolish mistake in my life was my long, long terror of death. Year after year, I was afraid of it when I needn’t have been in the least afraid. I had much illness and suffered a great deal from worries, fears, anxieties, and bodily pain in my life. But at the moment of death, there was no pain. When I knew I was dying, I was just able to say: “Take care of little Tough.” He was my darling baby grandson.
But I wasn’t unhappy or frightened or lonely, for I saw my father, my sisters, my brother whom I had thought of as dead – and by dead, I mean asleep till Judgment Day. But they weren’t asleep; they were quite close to me. I could see them through a pale mist. So if anyone talks to you about the loneliness of death, tell them it is all nonsense."
SURVIVAL OF CONSCIOUSNESS BICS CHALLENGE GRANTS PROGRAM 2023 In 2020, aerospace entrepreneur Robert T. Bigelow founded the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS). Following a successful competition in 2021 for essays providing the best evidence for SOHC [see 2021 winning essays here] BICS is now looking to the future. In this presentation, Robert Bigelow and Colm Kelleher reveal the details, including the application process and important dates, for BICS's new grants program for 2023,
CONSCIOUSNESS UNDERLIES ALL THAT EXISTS AND EXISTENCE IS ENTIRELY MENTAL Retired Canadian scientist William Treurniet writes: "During most of my life, I had no idea how the description of heaven, for example, could be true. Its existence was illuminated by extraterrestrial Zeta beings speaking through the medium, Paul Hamden. They explained their cosmology based on the 'ontology of idealism', that existence is entirely mental. I learned the basic physics of the existence of the higher realms, in that consciousness underlies all that exists. Even our familiar matter has a representation in consciousness, which is transformed into experienced sensations by an intrinsic perceptual process. Bundles of sensations are recognized as objects of matter.
I believe that the logic and consistency of the cosmology is convincing evidence that it is true, especially since it came from those who experience it. I now have a much better understanding of how heaven could relate to our Earthly existence".

A GREAT WAY TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE MEDIUMSHIP Voices Across the Veil is an afterlife research program that has vacancies in small online group sessions (maximum of six people) with a tested medium. For US $50, you are guaranteed an individual reading of at least 15 minutes. Sessions are available on September 14th and September 26th. You can join from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. You will be invited to join a short interview after the reading with a researcher to give feedback on your reading. This feedback contributes to a growing database of afterlife knowledge. Several different mediums do readings and you can try a different one on a different occasion. The program has an 85% satisfaction rating.
MEDITATION FOR MAKING CONTACT WITH LOVED ONES IN SPIRITDr. Jamie Turndorf explains that many people in the spirit world are seeking to resolve issues they had while alive and leads a workshop in an exercise for "dialoguing" with the departed. If you’ve lost someone and find it difficult to re-engage in life, or if you feel all alone after losing a long-term relationship, this is a way to communicate with the one you’re missing.
"THE RISEN: DIALOGUES OF LOVE, GRIEF, AND SURVIVAL BEYOND DEATH" August Goforth, a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in New York City, is also an intuitive mental and physical spirit medium who will be our guest at the Zoom Global Gathering on September 18th, 2022. In his book, he maintains that the mediumistic gifts that he has experienced since childhood are available to everyone who is prepared to develop awareness of the subtle signs of spirit communion. Because many readers have stated that the book is an incredibly profound personal journey that needs to be slowly integrated, he is offering a free pdf of the book to our subscribers in advance of his talk.

Our scheduled speaker Ginette Biro, had a minor accident and can't make it this week. Instead we will be having a community meeting where we get to know some of the quieter /new people and find out what everyone has been up to.
We will have a look at the BICS 2023 challenge and talk about ways we can validate general information from the other side. BICS wants people to set up projects to actually gather information from the other side. They don't want contact with relatives - they are interested in big picture guidance through mediumship, automatic writing, channelling, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, ITC etc.
However most important - they want strategies that can be used to validate the information gained - the way Kardec got his information through several different mediums working independently or the way Chico Xavier worked with other mediums in Brazil. It is not enough to submit what you get from channelling or clairsentience or talking with your own guides.

PHYSICIST LEARNS TO FORGIVE TO SAVE HIS OWN LIFE At age 42, Lester Levenson, a physicist and successful entrepreneur, was at the pinnacle of worldly success, yet he was an unhappy, very unhealthy man. After he had his second heart attack, his doctors sent him home to die.
Lester realised his emotions were making him sick. He began a self-investigation by asking himself what he wanted out of life. His answer was happiness. He realised that negative emotions made him unhappy and that he felt happiest when he was loving rather than being loved. He developed the 'Sedona Method', a technique for letting go of negative emotions which is still being taught today. See this example of how the technique works.
Within three months, he had become healthy again, and claimed that he entered a state of profound peace which he sustained until he died, another 43 years later. Read his book No Attachments, No Aversions.

"Thank you Victor and Wendy for another “jam-packed” (that old expression just flew into my mind) exciting Friday report. Being an ex-RAF man I have been interested in Lord Dowding and his connection with Spirit for some time but did not know much about Lady Dowding, so want to thank you AND Michael Tymn for bringing the article on her to my attention. It’s amazing how they came to meet each other".
David
2) "It’s perfectly fine to be skeptical, but given a sufficient number of convincing testimonials in sufficient agreement… it’s time to maybe just believe people, at least to some degree". Peter
3) "Another wonderful report just heard George Meek's phone call. Very sad about Mavis, big loss on this side". Louise
