Last week's report and all previous reports

Apologies to the people whose browsers told them this website was not secure last week. Our security certificate (organised by the web host) expired without warning on September 1st. It took a day or so to renew but now it's fine for another year. Lesson learned.


COMMENTARY: DISINFORMATION AND DISCERNMENT Many of us who have had the privilege of sitting repeatedly with a genuine medium, or have had an NDE or OBE or direct contact with loved ones who have crossed over, know that we have received amazing evidence that life is eternal.

But as Michael Tymn points out, many in the academic community remain determined to ignore the evidence, no matter how impressive it is. He writes:

"Some esteemed men and women of science observed a particular medium on hundreds of occasions under conditions completely ruling out deception of any kind. And yet, other scientists concluded that fraud was the only explanation, primarily because everything they observed defied known natural law. Their careers would have been endangered had they subscribed to an unnatural or 'unscientific' explanation... Journalists and historians, wanting to appear intelligent and scientific, not as gullible fools buying into ridiculous 'religious' superstition and folly, usually aligned themselves with the debunkers, completely ignoring the controlled studies by some researchers and recording only the verdicts of the debunkers."

So today we say "well done" to all of those who have been able to withstand the hostility and disinformation of academia, fundamentalist religion, the mainstream media, and well-meaning relatives and rely on their own analysis of the evidence, their experience, and their discernment.



AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT VIDEO
It has been a while since we featured Daniel Drasin's brilliant video Calling Earth about communication with the deceased through modern electronic technology. It is one of the most persuasive videos about afterlife evidence and is well worth a second or third look. It first came out in 2014 but Drasin has added sections to it twice.

It contains priceless rare footage of German physicist and ITC pioneer, Dr. Ernst Senkowski, Tom and Lisa Butler, Alexander MacRae, and short clips of the wonderful Scole Experiment and Marcello Bacci. And, if you watch nothing else, watch the last 10 minutes on physical mediumship at 1 hour and 20 minutes and the stunning 5-minute conclusion 'What Does it all Mean?' at 1 hour and 30 minutes.

FILMMAKER DAN DRASIN SITS DOWN WITH MEDIUM JAMIE BUTLER A fascinating interview where Dan shares with Jamie some of the paranormal findings detailed in his film "Calling Earth" and shares some of his personal experiences with the beyond.





PROFESSOR ECKHARD KRUSE INVESTIGATES PHYSICAL MEDIUMS
Professor Kruse talks about the pressures he has faced over the innovative experiments with physical mediums that he has been conducting in his own time and his insight that physical mediumship is an important subject for science.





DID EDGAR CAYCE HAVE A NDE? One of the well-documented effects of near-death experiences is an increase in psychic and mediumistic experiences (see the pdf article by Cherie Sutherland Ph.D.). Researcher Neil Helm has speculated that Edgar Cayce, perhaps the best-known psychic of the 20th century, may have had an NDE. It seems that Edgar Cayce drowned at around the age of five and was pronounced dead by a physician. Helm suspects that he experienced being out-of-body and on the Other Side before reviving.

A VERY MOVING NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE Robert Bare spent over two decades as a highway officer. “I saw lots of death, and I became callous. Spirituality or religion played no role in my life until a massive heart attack in 2009 changed all that." He describes a life review where he saw every action in his life and felt the effect of his actions on others. He also describes meeting relatives and his dog.





THE PURPOSE AND MEANING OF LIFE
"Your purpose in life is to grow in character. It is not to doggedly pursue that which your society says is in your own self-interest, such as amassing wealth, building a 'healthy' retirement, traveling at length, or otherwise indulging in purely selfish pursuits. Your purpose, I say again, is to grow in character. This is done by focusing not on yourself but on those around you. It is ironic, but by attending to all those people of your acquaintance, by giving of yourself to these people and to your family, only then do you truly find yourself and establish your own firm identity."
(Judy Laddon, 'Beyond The Veil', '87 ed., p66).



JURGEN ZIEWE'S COMPACT GUIDE TO THE AFTERLIFE This video of out-of-body experiencer Jurgen Ziewe's talk at the International Afterlife Conference “Andare Oltre. Uniti Nella Luce” is a wonderful introduction to his work. The video is a little jumpy where the Italian translations have been removed but the content is superb. You can learn more from Jurgen's website and his books.





WILL OBES CHANGE THE WORLD?
Jurgen Ziewe says they have the potential to.
"It will be the most creative scientists who will reap the greatest benefit from their out-of-body excursions, as they become aware of what a powerful information-mining tool they have unearthed. Information that can lead to astonishing breakthroughs in all fields of science and can potentially be of immense commercial value can be accessed. It is this which sooner or later will usher in a new race between the competing economic powers. Inevitably the discovery of a more fail-safe way of entering an Out-Of-Body or lucid dream state will be searched for, instead of meditation, focusing techniques, or drugs. Such a discovery will be on par with the discovery of DNA." Read more.

Dancing in Heaven Lyrics

My mother and father loved to dance, music was in their soul
It kept them young though the years rolled on
Their song never grew old
I felt the world fall silent when I heard they'd passed away
But then from out of nowhere, a song began to play...

(Chorus)
Are you dancing in heaven tonight? Holding each other so tight
Just like you did all those magic nights before
Moving to the rhythm of love
And though I 'm gonna miss you so much
I know you 'll be alright ‘cause you're dancing in heaven tonight

Now there's a place inside my heart where the music never ends
And anytime the teardrops start I go back there again
I see you dance together the way it used to be
And then I know that love's a song
That lasts through all eternity

(Repeat Chorus)

I know you're dancing in heaven tonight, holding each other so tight
Stepping in time across a starlit floor
Moving to the rhythm of love
And though I'm gonna miss you so much
I know you'll be al lright ‘cause you're dancing in heaven tonight
