  5. Wendy Zammit, Victor Zammit's Wife, talks about the life-changing experiences on mediumship, which made them dedicate their lives to the cause of spreading the word about the afterlife teachings. Wendy Zammit, esposa de Victor Zammit, fala sober as experiências transformadoras da mediunidade, que os motivou a dedicated suas visas à causa da disseminação dos conhecimentos sobre a vida após a morte.
  6. Ann Harrison, wife of the late Tom Harrison who was himself a gifted medium following in the footsteps of his mother Minnie Harrison tells us in this video about the genesis of SNPP and the range of books published. I can personally attest to the integrity of these publications having many of them.
  7. "Try not to be engulfed by this gloom resulting from violence and terrorism. Try to rise above it, to be in the world but not of the world, to be aware of your spiritual nature, your divine potential, so that at least you become a little lighthouse of the spirit with rays that will help those seeking to find you." More Philosophy of Silver Birch p. 209. This week's Friday Afterlife Report is now online at https://www.victorzammit.com/March18th2022
  8. I am visualising you, your "domain" our beautiful friend Andres surrounded by the white light of divine protection. Your hard learned lesson is for us to also learn that we are at the edge of new frontiers and should at all times give gracious thought to those who protect and guard us before opening the portals in our work for spirit.

  11. Mediumship: Psychic Rods, Alleged Trickery and Psychic Stuff Posted on 14 March 2022, 9:23 Perhaps the most damning evidence against the mediumship of Mina Crandon, also known as “Margery,” came from Dr. Joseph B. Rhine (below), then a young botanist turned psychologist and later one of the founders of the field called parapsychology. “We were disgusted to find that at the bottom of all this controversy and investigation lay such a simple system of trickery as we witnessed at the séance,” Rhine reported of his one sitting with Margery on July 1, 1926. “We are amateurs, and we do not possess any skill or training in trickery, and we were looking for true psychic productions, but in spite of our greenness and our deep interest, we could not help but see the falseness of it all.” One thing that stood out in Rhine’s report is movement of her feet at the time psychokinetic action was taking place. Rhine Several other investigators, including the famous magician Houdini, agreed with Rhine. He was sitting next to her, holding an arm and a leg, to rule out fraud. He said that he felt movement in her leg when a bell rang some distance from them. Others were convinced that Margery was a genuine medium and still others sat on the fence and weren’t sure what to believe. Those with the most experience in such research and with the most experiments with Margery found in her favor. Compared with Rhine’s one sitting with Margery, Dr. Mark Richardson, a distinguished Harvard professor of medicine, had more than a hundred sittings with her, including a number of individual experiments, and was certain that there was no fraud involved. “There comes a point at which this hypothesis of universal confederacy must stop; or if not this, that the entire present report may be dismissed off-hand as a deliberate fabrication in the interests of false mediumship,” Richardson wrote. “I respectfully submit that no critic who hesitates at this logical climax may by any means escape the hypothesis of validity. If the present paper is worthy of and if it receives the slightest degree of respectful attention, the facts which it chronicles must constitute proof of the existence of Margery’s supernormal faculties, and the strongest sort of evidence that these work through the agency of her deceased brother Walter.” Present with Dr. Rhine in that one sitting with Margery was Dr. Louisa W. Rhine, his wife. It was noted that Louisa Rhine did not recognize the “tricks,” but that she accepted her husband’s explanation of them. Ironically, Louisa Rhine served as a translator for a two-part article by Professor Dr. Karl Gruber of Munich, Germany appearing in the May and June 1926 issues (two months before their sittings) of The Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research dealing with the problems of understanding such mediumship. No mention was made of Margery in the article, but the concerns were the same. Gruber was a German physician, biologist, and zoologist who had conducted or participated in numerous studies of other physical mediums, including German mediums Willi and Rudi Schneider. He observed “synchronous movements” between the medium and objects out of the medium’s reach. “If this connection is broken by movements of the hand or other object across the field of activity, or if it is roughly torn away, either temporary or lasting bodily injury to the medium results,” Gruber explained, noting that his research involved more than one-hundred experiments. “This fact has been repeatedly misunderstood by the skeptical, who have seen in it the unmasking of a frightened medium.” Gruber cited the reports of Dr. William J Crawford, an Irish mechanical engineer. Between 1914 and 1917, Crawford carried out 87 experiments with Irish medium Kathleen Goligher and concluded that the movement of some table or other object out of Goligher’s reach resulted from invisible “psychic rods” extending from the medium to the object being moved. These psychic rods were made of what others called “ectoplasm” or “teleplasm,” though Crawford referred to it as “psychic stuff.” They originated with what Crawford called “operators,” which he took to be discarnate human beings. “These particular mechanical reactions cause her to make slight involuntary motions with her feet, motions which a careless observer would set down as imposture,” Crawford explained. “The starting point of the rod then seems to be much higher up her body, for the reactionary movements are then visible on the trunk.” Absent from all the observations and opinions of the esteemed scientists and other ‘experts’ studying Margery is evidence that might have given the doubters and deniers second thoughts before claiming fraud. That is, the researchers expressed their opinions strictly from a mechanistic/materialistic point of view. There is no mention of the research twenty to thirty years earlier with Eusapia Palladino, an illiterate Neapolitan medium who was studied by many leading scientists. Some of the those studying Palladino suggested that her “third arm,” an ectoplasmic extension molded by her spirit control, known as “John King,” was carrying out the activity which they saw as fraud. Moreover, some of the investigators reported on “rhythmic actions” of her fingers, arms and legs that were in accord with activity taking place some distance from her, apparently through the invisible or mostly invisible ectoplasmic rods extending from her limbs to the point of activity, as if she, or the spirit controlling her, had become puppet masters of sorts. “When [Professor Oscar] Scarpa held Palladino’s feet in his hands (for control purposes), he always felt her legs moving in synchrony with ongoing displacements of the table or chair,” reported Professor Filippo Bottazi, who referred to the action as “synchrony.” The fundamental problem in all such analyses, as I see it, is that the spirit hypothesis is completely disregarded, as it is “unscientific.” Bottazi, who rejected the spirit hypothesis, mentioned that they would refer to John King to appease Palladino, who was certain he was a spirit guide, but they apparently laughed at the whole idea when they were not in her presence. “Spirits, ha, ha, preposterous humbug,” they likely reacted while clinging to the idea that it all originated in Palladino’s subconscious in ways that science did not yet understand. Sir Oliver Lodge, a distinguished British physicist, also suspected fraud with Palladino. When he accused her of a trick, she went into a rage and explained that when she was in a trance John King was in control. “She wanted us to understand that it was not conscious deception, but that her control took whatever means available, and, if he found an easy way of doing a thing, thus would it be done,” Lodge reported. “I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, so far as the morals of deception are concerned, for she was a kindly soul, with many of the instincts of a peasant, and extraordinarily charitable.” Present with Lodge in those experiments with Palladino was Dr. Charles Richet, later a Nobel-Prize winner in medicine. He stated that he had nearly 200 séances with Palladino and was certain that she was not a cheat. However, he was reluctant to accept John King as the spirit of a dead person, as that would be a very unscientific approach, but he concluded that the semi-unconsciousness of the medium takes away much of her moral responsibility. “Trance turns them into automata that have but a very slight control over their muscular movements,” he explained. “… It is also quite easy to understand that when exhausted by a long and fruitless séance, and surrounded by a number of sitters eager to see something, a medium whose consciousness is still partly in abeyance may give the push that [she] hopes will start the phenomena.” Lodge reported on a test involving a spring dynamometer, which, when squeezed, measured hand grip strength. It was Richet’s idea that all the energy used at a sitting had to come from the medium or some of the sitters. Thus, he recorded the grip strength of Eusapia and each sitter before and after the two-hour sitting. In the before reading, Lodge, a big man at 6-foot-4, scored the highest, followed by Richet, Frederic Myers, and Julian Ochorowicz, with Eusapia’s being much weaker than the four men. But after the sitting, Eusapia was giving a feeble clutch when she suddenly shouted, “Oh, John, you’re hurting!” and the men observed the needle go far beyond what any of them could exert. “She wrung her fingers afterwards, and said John (King) had put his great hand around hers, and squeezed the machine up to an abnormal figure,” Lodge explained, noting that “John King” occasionally showed his hand, “a big, five-fingered, ill-formed thing it looked in the dusk.” As with John King, most of the researchers spoke with Margery’s “Walter” personality, which claimed to be Margery’s deceased brother, as if he was a real spirit, even though they refused to accept the idea of spirits. As they saw it, the “third arm” extending from Margery could not have been that of a spirit entity, because science says that spirit entities don’t exist. It had to be a trick by Margery, even though it went beyond any scientific laws then known. One of the exceptions was Dr. T. Glen Hamilton, a Canadian physician and psychical researcher . “… I was privileged to take part in a tête-à-tête with Dr. Richardson’s justly famous voice cut-out machine, and found it to be absolutely fraud-proof and 100 percent effective in proving the independence of the “Walter” voice,” Hamilton wrote. “I witnessed as well a number of other successful tests with this machine. At one of these sittings, I witnessed also one of the most arresting incidents in my research experiences: a trance so profound that the medium’s respirations were reduced to six to the minute…Undoubtedly this affords a very strong additional proof of the genuineness of the Margery mediumship.” At Hamilton’s first sitting in Winnipeg, Margery disrobed in front of Mrs. Hamilton and put on a bathrobe that was supplied for her. It took between three and four minutes for Margery to go into a trance, after which Walter spoke in what was described as a “hoarse stage-whisper.” He joked, teased, and even preached as Hamilton closely observed Margery, being controlled by two other physicians, to rule out fraud. “I have now witnessed the Margery phenomena eleven times: eight times in the Lime Street séance room under conditions of careful control; twice in my own experimental room, also under positive control; and once in the home of an acquaintance under arrangements entirely impromptu – and in each instance typical Margery phenomena occurred…I have no hesitancy in again stating that I am quite convinced that the Margery phenomena are not only genuine but are also among the most brilliant yet recorded in the history of metapsychic science.” Hamilton concluded that the “trance-intelligences” of the mediums he had studied, existed apart from the mediums. “Assuming the reality of other-world energy-forms, how then do they come to be fleetingly represented (or mirrored) in our world?” he asked. He concluded that teleplasm (or ectoplasm) provides the answer. “Basing my assumption on a study of the sixty-odd masses which we have photographed during the past five years (1928-1934), I regard teleplasm as a highly sensitive substance, responsive to other-world energies and at the same time visible to us in the physical world. It therefore constitutes an intervening substance by means of which transcendental intelligences are enabled, by ideoplastic or other unknown processes to transmit their conception of certain energy forms which appear objective to them, into the terms of our world and our understanding.” And, yet, most scientists and historians still cling to the fraud hypothesis. My guess is that the spirit world gave up in trying to prove themselves.

  15. “The Great Spirit has placed a limit on the damage and harm that can be done by man in your world. There is no power in your world that is able to destroy the whole of it. There is no power that can kill the physical bodies of all who dwell in it. There is a limit to what man can do with the most complicated, efficient technological devices that he can invent. The power of the spirit is stronger than any power of matter that can be produced. Matter is inferior to spirit. Spirit is king and matter is servant."

  17. Can You Experience an NDE without Dying? The answer is yes. A surprising number of people report sharing in the near-death and dying experiences of their loved ones. Raymond Moody coined the term for this: the shared death experience (SDE). A compelling discussion of SDEs can be found in Raymond’s Book Glimpses of Eternity (2010), co-authored by Paul Perry. The shared death experience is characterized by a number of features, including several that overlap with the near-death experience. Interviewees report these phenomena both at the bedsides of their loved ones as well as from long distances: change of the geometry of the room/space. a mystical light. music or musical sounds appearing from nowhere. co-living the life review during and/or after the death of a loved one. encountering otherworldly or heavenly realms. seeing a mist emanating from or surrounding the loved one at the moment of death. No one interviewed reported all seven occurrences, but most described more than one of those listed above. William Peters, of the Shared Crossing Project, has built upon Raymond’s foundational work with extensive research into the shared death experience. He is the first and only pioneer in this field to have an institute dedicated primarily to the research of this phenomena. Click here to register Raymond and William will be in conversation about SDEs during a free webinar on Saturday March 12, 2022 10:00am PST, 1:00pm EST, 6:00pm UK. The webinar is free, and we hope you will join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion about the transcendental SDE. Discover how you might share in this most powerful and intimate occurrence with those you love and better understand the spiritual dimensions of the dying process. Click here to join us–and let’s have a shared-webinar experience together! Warmly, Lisa Smartt on behalf of Raymond Moody and the lifeafterlife.com team Dr. Raymond Moody Philosopher, psychiatrist, physician and author of Life After Life and Glimpses of Eternity Dr. Moody is the individual responsible for identifying both near-death experiences and shared death experiences. Hear how Raymond, after decades of studying the near death experience discovered the shared death experience as a little known yet awe-inspiring phenomena. Raymond will also share the remarkable story between emergency department physician Jeff O'Driscoll, and Jeff Olsen, a patient, that transformed his thinking about the afterlife. William Peters Psychotherapist, founder of Shared Crossing Project and author of At Heaven's Door William is the director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative, the only research institute dedicated to the study of shared death experiences. Hear how William took the foundational work of Dr. Moody and developed the typologies to provide a greater understanding for this transformational end of life experience. William will share his own formative SDEs from his time as a volunteer at the Zen Hospice project.
