What is a man but the sum of his thoughts?

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.

Personal Statement #66: Imprimatur! Let it be printed! A Priest Speaks Out from The AfterLife! The Testimony of Father Robert Benson

Mary Bruce Wallace, The Thinning Of The Veil, testimony channelled from the other side: On the importance of learning, while on earth, all one can about the world to come:

I have spoken before of this priceless advantage of entering our realms with knowledge and power such as can be most fully and deeply attained whilst in the flesh. This may seem to you strange, but I assure you that it is profoundly true. That which has been won in the world beneath, whilst the soul is entombed in its thick and muddy vesture, has been won for eternity, so lasting, so vital, so significant is the impression made upon the soul by this means. We from our further vantage ground of illumination can realize a little the divine purpose underlying evolution, through incarnation upon earth. We can perceive that the result of this method of soul-perfecting is stupendous in its possibilities.

Elizabeth Fry, testimony from the Other Side: Fry speaks via Leslie Flint, direct-voice medium:

"Here no one glories in being a leader - whereas in your world [in various organizations] you do get this sort of glorification of the individual [leader]; the first thing a person must learn here, if they are to progress, is to lose this idea of self-importance. Those who are really progressed on This Side never, never, give that impression - because it is not even in their nature to appear, or want to appear, important ...  I think that people will only recognize [who] Christ really was, when they begin to discount a lot of untoward creeds and dogmas, tacked on over the centuries by men who desired power and position. I would say to you, above all things, if you want to discover truth, avoid men of power and position, because ... [they desire] power and position because of their material perception of things."    read more

Ellen Terry, testimony from the Other Side: Terry speaks via Leslie Flint, direct-voice medium:

"I would say that this [life on our side] is the natural life and yours is the artificial, and that the truly natural life is the spiritual… the material life is only a pale reflection of the reality... Here there is no restriction placed upon expansion of expression; here you assimilate knowledge and experience; here you throw off more and more of the old self and become truly free... It is the narrow confines of earth which prevent individuals from becoming spiritual beings." read more

The Rev. Dr. George M. Searle, Rector, Catholic Church of St. Paul the Apostle, New York City:

" The reality of the existence of spirits ... is no longer an open question, even among scientific men who have examined the subject. Anyone who considers the manifestation of them as mere humbug, trickery or delusion is simply not up to date." see bio of George M. Searle

R. Tagore: "Crossing over is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come."

Dr. Dianne Morrissey: "If I lived a billion years more, in my body or yours, there's not a single experience on earth that could ever be as good as being dead. Nothing."

Juliet Nightingale: "I knew with total certainty that everything was evolving exactly the way it should and that the ultimate destiny for every living being is to return to the Source, the Light, Pure Love"

Sogyal Rinpoche: "Normally we do not like to think about death. We would rather think about life. Why reflect on death? When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life ... now ... and come to face the truth of yourself. Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected."

Khalil Gibran: "And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance... You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life... If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one."

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross: "When we have done all the work we were sent to do, we are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the future butterfly."

Richard Bach: "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."

Rebecca Springer: "Day by day we are building for eternity ... Every gentle word, every generous thought, every unselfish deed will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come."

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer: "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."

Dr. Stephen Hawking: "There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end of the search for the ultimate laws of nature."

Nietzsche: "Even a thought, even a possibility, can shatter us and transform us."

Colin Wilson: "The sheer volume of evidence for survival after death is so immense that to ignore it is like standing at the foot of Mount Everest and insisting that you cannot see the mountain."

Carl Jung: "The unconscious psyche believes in life after death"

Kevin Williams: "If the devil really existed, he would have appeared at least once in the thousands of near-death experience reports I have read. I have found none."

Dr. Stanislav Grof: "For any culture which is primarily concerned with meaning, the study of death - the only certainty that life holds for us - must be central, for an understanding of death is the key to liberation in life."

Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross: "For those who seek to understand it, death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death."

Jules Renard: "We are ignorant of the beyond because this ignorance is the condition of our own life. Just as ice cannot know fire except by melting and vanishing."

Dag Hammarskjold: "The longest journey is the journey inwards of him who has chosen his destiny, who has started upon his quest for the source of his being."

Indian proverb: "When you were born, you cried, and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

Victor Zammit: "Remember when we die, we die with the accumulated level of vibrations of the things we DID during our lifetime. That level of vibrations will send us upwards or to the same level or will send us down. There will be no God to judge us. No one judges us. It is all done by physics - automatically. We judge ourselves because on dying our level of vibrations will automatically pull us like a magnet to the afterlife world (realm) we deserve. The afterlife has different levels of vibrations -- from the lowest to the highest."

Sir William Barrett: The science of today has gone to the other extreme [of materialism], and as Mr. Myers once eloquently said, we are now taught to believe 'the Universe to be a soulless interaction of atoms, and life a paltry misery closed in the grave.'  

Herman's Hermits, This Door Swings Both Ways:

"Everyone's life is bittersweet, It's a door that opens wide, And no man can call himself complete, Till he's seen it from both sides, This door swings both ways, It's marked 'In' and 'Out', Some days you'll want to cry, And some days you will shout, This door swings both ways, It goes back and forth, In comes a southern breeze, Or a cold wind from the north, This door swings both ways, Lets in joy and pain, In comes the morning sun, And then the evening rain, This door swings both ways, Lets in dark and light, Every day you make the choice, To let in wrong or right, When shadows fall You must prepare yourself for sunshine, For everything there is an end, And so my friend, you must be brave, This door swings both ways, Which one will it be, Will we live in happiness Or dwell in misery?, This door swings both ways, Lets in earth and sky, Make the most of livin', If you're not prepared to die”

Star Trek TNG, episode #168, Thine Own Self (1994):

Gia:  Father said she [after her death] went to a beautiful place, where everything is peaceful, and everyone loves each other, and no one ever gets sick. Do you think there's really a place like that?

Data:  Yes... I do.

Jim Conway, Men In Mid-Life Crisis:

"While I was experiencing mid-life pressures, I read Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' book On Death and Dying. Suddenly I began to see that the mid-life crisis can be compared closely to the emotional trauma a person experiences as he faces death. There are definite stages within the mid-life crisis... [I came to see that] what the man in mid-life crisis is wrestling with [is] death. A man is facing the death of his physical prowess ... death of the visions and ambitions of his teens and twenties ... death of his hopes and ambitions for great achievement ... death of the visions for fame and fortune ... death of his sexual fantasies ... death for some of the expectations he has had for his children. Yes, and for the first time he is facing the reality of his own physical death... Ross outlines five emotional stages through which a person goes as he prepares for death: 1. Denial - 'It's not me, it's not true.' 2. Anger - 'Why me?' 3. Bargaining - 'Can't we postpone this?' 4. Depression - 'All is lost.' 5. Acceptance - 'I'm ready.' With only minor modification these stages can be adapted to the man going through mid-life. They may be very short periods of time or extend over years ... he needs to move progressively through these stages and effectively deal with each one... The man who doesn't successfully make it through his mid-life crisis is forever trying to be a young adult."

"It is not so much what you will find when you come to this side of life as what you will bring with you... Sleep is the best definition of death I know anything about - just going to sleep unafraid to awake in a new and beautiful room, and to be satisfied. This is all there is... [On Earth] you are the apprentice to your own soul. Here you are the promoted individual... Bring all of your soul treasures - you will need them, your culture, your love of art, of music - all this you will use... Every want shall be satisfied. Material possessions you will not need... We are undisguised, for on our foreheads is the insignia of whatever we have gained in culture, love for humanity, charity, selflessness, energy and force, ambitions for the sake of others - all this is here waiting for us when we are given ... our Price, our Wage, whatever we have earned during our years of apprenticeship."

Daniel Levinson, The Seasons of a Man's Life:

"Many young men develop a conflict between a life direction expressing the Dream [a great hope or goal in life] and another that is quite different... Those who betray the Dream in their twenties will have to deal later with the consequences... In every period [of a person's life] we suffer because of all the undone developmental work of previous periods - for ultimately the chickens do come home to roost... Why do we go through this painful process? ... we need developmental transitions in adulthood partly because no life structure can permit the living out of all aspects of the self... these neglected parts of the self urgently seek expression... Internal voices muted for years now clamor to be heard ... grief over lost opportunities ... the [inner] voice of an identity prematurely rejected; of a love lost or not pursued... Every aspect of their lives comes into question, and they are horrified by much that is revealed ... [this self-reassessment] cannot be a cool intellectual process ... must involve emotional turmoil ... coming to terms with one's own mortality."

Daniel Levinson, The Seasons of a Man's Life: (from a patient interview) "... disillusionment about just where comfort lies. I still seek comfort in material things, but I don't think that is where comfort will be. I think it would come from other people in terms of compassion, love and tenderness."

Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918, Canon of St Paul's Cathedral:

"Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you, Whatever we were to each other, That we are still, Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way you always used, Put no difference into your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow, Laugh as we always laughed, At the little jokes we always enjoyed together, Play, smile, think of me, pray for me, Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, Let it be spoken without effort, Without the ghost of a shadow in it, Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was, There is absolute unbroken continuity, What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind, Because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval, Somewhere very near, Just around the corner, All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost, One brief moment and all will be as it was before ,How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!" (The King of Terrors, a sermon on death delivered in St Paul's Cathedral on Whitsunday 1910, while the body of King Edward VII was lying in state at Westminster)

Lord Dowding, Many Mansions: He reports on a transmission from the Other Side from a Norwegian killed during WWII:

"I was shot by the Germans in Trondheim. I was a little shopkeeper; they shoot. I do not love the Germans. I never shall, but I am held here by my hatred . I find that I cannot throw it off. I still feel so angry for their acts of unprovoked cruelty, and I am consumed by my passionate anger, and I cannot get free. I beg of you to help me... He tells me that we must forgive the Nazis, that they do not know what they do, that they are like sleep-walkers, and until I forgive them I cannot get free, to pass from this plane so near the Earth on to other planes... It is awful, this anger that we cannot shake it off. Give me some serenity and let me sleep... I see why Christ quickly forgave everyone before He left the Earth Body. I see the reason and the need, and with the help of your Father and this contact that you have given me, I shall escape."

Albert Einstein: "It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware."

Edward Young: "Seems it strange that thou shouldst live forever? Is it less strange that thou shouldst live at all?"

F.W.H. Myers: Speaking from the Other Side through a medium, Myers laments his difficulty in transmitting a message: "The nearest simile I can find to express the difficulty of sending a message is that I appear to be standing behind a sheet of frosted glass, which blurs and deadens sound, dictating feebly to a reluctant and somewhat obtuse secretary."

Charlotte Dresser, Life Here And Hereafter (1927): transcribed by Dresser, words sent from the Other Side:

"I am wishing to tell those on earth, who are struggling to learn what is the meaning of life, that it is the way one looks at it that determines its value. If one thinks of it as a time of sensuous enjoyment, one makes his life a thing of little worth, for such things have no value in the spirit world. If one looks at life as something to be endured and to be gotten through as soon as possible, he will form a character that has nothing to rest on here. He will have to create new foundations before he can advance. If one there believes that life consists in praying and preaching, that spirit is apt to want to pray and preach here; and in this world there are no churches or congregations to respond as they did there, and the spirit has to learn that there are other things to acquire before the true life can be enjoyed. When a soul on earth can realize that there are others there who need assistance, who will be the better for aid and sympathy, and can learn to feel that this aid and sympathy can be given by himself, he is on the way to create the life that will mean the most to him when his mortal life is over."

Star Trek TNG, episode #28, Where Silence Has Lease (1988):

Data:  What is death?

Picard:  … Well, Data, you’ve asked, probably, the most difficult of all questions. Some see it as a changing into an indestructible form, forever unchanging. They believe that the purpose of the entire universe is to, then, maintain that form in an earth-like garden which will give delight and pleasure throughout all eternity. On the other hand, there are those who hold to the idea of our blinking into nothingness – that all of our experiences, hopes, and dreams are merely a delusion.

Data:  Which do you believe, sir

Picard:  Considering the marvelous complexity of the universe; its clockwork perfection; its balance of this against that; matter, energy, gravitation, time, and dimension – I believe that our existence must be more than either of these philosophies; that what we are goes beyond Euclidean or other practical measuring systems, and that our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now as reality.

Seneca: "One should count each day a separate life."

Dr. Fred Hoyle: “When science begins the study of non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the centuries of its experience.”

Victor Zammit: http://victorzammit.com: April 13, 2007:

"My twenty years or so of afterlife research tells me that on crossing over absolutely nothing changes in our character, intellect and personality. That is also evidenced by those who come through as visitors in our Sunday night materializations experiments in Sydney, Australia. For example, Houdini is still fairly brash, dominating even supercilious; exactly as he was when he was on earth some eighty years ago. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s personality appears not have changed. So was Archbishop Cosmo Lange’s personality judging from the time he spent with us one Sunday night. The only way to increase one’s vibrations either on earth or in the afterlife dimension is by making a contribution to others – opening the heart and being unselfish.We are credibly informed from intelligences from the afterlife that in the afterlife dimension where there is no pressure for food, clothing and shelter, one could stay spiritually static and in the same realm for hundreds, perhaps even for thousands of years. Those who do selfless service while alive seem to be at a huge advantage when they cross over- the habit of caring for others carries on and they make rapid progress. That's how one gets a 'better deal' on crossing over... As already stated, just because one crosses over one does not become omniscient and infallible. Far from it. Nothing changes. There are those who crossed over and came through direct voice medium Emily French arguing that they were still alive and that there is NO AFTERLIFE."

Victor Zammit:

"QUESTION: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HUMAN LIFE ON EARTH AND THE BEST MEANS OF ACHIEVING IT? Directly from the afterlife by empirical mediumship: 'The purpose is to enable the incarnating spirit to undergo a variety of experiences that will fit it for the next state, the one that begins beyond physical death. Earth is the schoolhouse where the soul should learn its lessons and thus be properly educated and equipped for the next stage of its eternal life. The best way to achieve this purpose is to live the kind of life that gives the fullest possible expression to the spirit, mind and body. By so doing harmony is established on the three planes of being.'"

Professor Deborah Blum, 5-12-07:

"A century ago, roughly between 1885 and 1925, some distinguished scholars and scientists conducted some very thorough investigations of mediums. Their objective was to determine if spirits were really communicating through the mediums and, concomitantly, whether consciousness survives bodily death.   Almost without exception, they came to the same conclusion: that spirit communication was real and that consciousness does survive physical death.  The few exceptions accepted that certain mediums were not charlatans; they simply didn't know what to make of it and sat on the fence to protect themselves from ridicule by their closed-minded colleagues, who felt it was beneath their dignity to consider such foolishness... I see modern scholars and scientists aping those 'closed-minded colleagues' of yesteryear and their ancient ancestors.... A recent example of what I am talking about is a comment in TIME Magazine by Steven Pinker, a Harvard University psychologists, that 'attempts to contact the souls of the dead' by scientists of a century ago 'turned up only cheap magic tricks.' Having thoroughly studied the research done by those psychical researchers of a century ago, I find it difficult to believe that anyone could make such a statement, unless he or she hasn't really dug into the material and is simply suffering from the aping syndrome, the tendency to want to look bright and not foolish by smirking, scoffing, and sneering at things that are beyond the grasp of current science."

Silver Birch: "The plan of life is very simple. You come from spirit, incarnating into matter to obtain the experiences you need to enable you to come to our world equipped for the tasks and the joys that await you. The equipment is obtained in your world. That is where you learn the lessons that prepare you for the life after school. If you do not learn the lessons, then you are not educated, not ready for what comes next."

Father Robert Benson:

"… death-bed repentances are of no avail, since the majority of them are but cowardice born of fear of what is about to happen - a fear of the theologically-built eternal hell that is such a useful weapon in the ecclesiastical armoury, and one that perhaps has caused more suffering in its time than many other erroneous doctrines. Creeds, therefore, do not form any part of the world of spirit, but because people take with them all their characteristics into the spirit world, the fervid adherents to any particular religious body will continue to practice their religion in the spirit world until such time as their minds become spiritually enlightened. We have here, so my friend informed me - I have since seen them for myself - whole communities still exercising their old earthly religion. The bigotry and prejudices are there, religiously speaking. They do not harm, except to themselves, since such matters are confined to themselves. There is no such thing as making converts here!”

Dr. Henry Margenau, Yale Physicist: “To put it bluntly, science no longer contains absolute truths … the old distinction between the natural and the supernatural has become spurious.”

Margaret Mead: “The whole history of scientific advance is full of scientists investigating phenomena that the establishment did not believe were there.”

Sir Oliver Lodge:

"Science is incompetent to make comprehensive denials about anything. It should not deal in negatives. Denial is no more fallible than assertion. There are cheap and easy kinds of skepticism, just as there are cheap and easy kinds of dogmatism. I am as convinced of continued existence on the other side of death as I am of existence here. It may be said, you cannot be as sure as you are of sensory experience. I say I can. A physicist is never limited to direct sensory impressions; he has to deal with a multitude of conceptions and things for which he has no physical organ - the dynamical theory of heat, for instance, and of gases, the theories of electricity, of magnetism, of chemical affinity, of cohesion, aye, and his apprehension of the ether itself, lead him into regions where sight and hearing and touch are impotent as direct witnesses, where they are no longer efficient guides. I shall go further and say that I am reasonably convinced of the existence of grades of being, not only lower in the scale than man but higher also, grades of every order of magnitude from zero to infinity. And I know by experience that among these beings are some who care for and help and guide humanity, not disdaining to enter even into what must seem petty details, if by so doing they can assist souls striving on their upward course."

Dr. Werhner von Braun, German rocket scientist, advisor to the US space program: Some months before he died, he wrote that science offers evidence that life continues after physical death:

"Science has found that nothing can disappear without a trace. Nature does not know extinction. All it knows is transformation ... Think about that for a moment. Once you do, your thoughts about life will never be the same ... If God applied this fundamental principle to the most minute and insignificant parts of His Universe, doesn't it make sense to assume that He applies it also to the Masterpiece of His creation - the human soul? I think it does. And everything science has taught me, and continues to teach me, strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace."

Tony Stubbs:

"If you are catapulted into crossing over, due to an accident or violence on the part of someone else, you instinctively leave your body so you do not feel any physical pain. It is rare that a soul fragment would choose to stick around to experience such unpleasantness. John Edward was once contacted by a crew member of the space shuttle Columbia, which burned up on re-entry into the atmosphere. Through John, the crewman reported that he and the other crew had already left their bodies and didn’t feel a thing. And people who are regressed to a lifetime when they were burned at the stake invariably say they left their body before the flames got to it, and watched from a distance before getting bored and moving on."

Michael Tymn: In his 1974 book, On the Death of My Son, Jasper Swain, a Republic of South Africa lawyer, tells of the death of his son Mike in an auto accident and the communications he received from Mike through several mediums. “My death was okayed well ahead of the accident,” Mike told his father at one sitting. “To be exact, on the previous Monday, while I was watching the races at Kyalami, I suddenly knew that my life was coming to an end, even though I did not know the exact moment. I didn’t regret it, because I was also aware of the wonder, the love, and the beauty of the world that awaited me.” Mike also mentioned that he left his body an instant before the head-on impact with the other vehicle and was able to observe the collision from above.

Arthur Findlay, The Way Of Life: "Yes I am trying to explain how we build our home by deeds done in the body. Any little good I had done in earth life which had been a bit of a sacrifice to me, made my home, my beautiful home, more beautiful and any kind thought I had, any kind action I did, all went to the beautification of my Paradise of Peace, my home, my garden, in all its beauty, and the flowers I love tending as I used to in earth life."

T. May: "The wisest men are glad to die; no fear of death can touch a true philosopher. Death sets the soul at liberty to fly."

Sir John Eccles, Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist: I maintain that the human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism [i.e., reducing everything to a material explanation], with its claim in promissory materialism to account eventually for all of the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity. This belief must be classed as superstition … We have to recognize that we are spiritual beings with souls existing in a spiritual world as well as material beings with bodies and brains existing in a material world.

Sir Oliver Lodge: We may rightly decide to live with full vigour in the present, and do our duty from moment to moment, yet in order to be full-flavoured and really intelligent beings - not merely with mechanical draft following the line of least resistance - we ought to be aware that there is a future, a future determined to some extent by action in the present; and it is only reasonable that we should seek to ascertain, roughly and approximately, what sort of future it is likely to be. Inquiry into survival, and into the kind of experience through which we shall all certainly have to go in a few years, is therefore eminently sane, and may be vitally significant. It may colour all our actions, and give a vivid meaning both to human history and to personal experience.

Silver Birch: "In spiritual relationships, you have, in the supreme case, affinities, or in the lesser instances, kinship. Physical relationships are conditions NOT based on eternal principles, the only ones that will endure. Group souls, when referring to their human aspects, are composed of individuals who have a spiritual kinship. Automatically they are drawn to one another because they are 'facets of the same diamond.' It can be, and it does happen, that, for the purposes of work to be done, fragments of the diamond incarnate into your world to have the kind of experiences which will help the larger self."

Cardiologist Pim van Lommel did a monumental study of near-death experiences—which raises fascinating questions about life after death, DNA , the collective unconscious, and everyone’s karma. Ode Magazine, December, 2005, Vol. 3, Issue 10. When the The Lancet published his study of near-death experiences, Dutch cardiologist Pim van Lommel couldn’t have known it would make him into one of the world’s most-talked-about scientists. It seems everyone wants to know about the man who managed to get his study of this controversial topic published in one of the leading journals of medical research. Yet it’s not really surprising that its publication in 2001 created a stir. Never before had such a systematic study been conducted into the experiences of people who were declared dead and then came back to life. continued

SKEPTIC CONVERTED: Professor Hyslop, a one time skeptic, was converted to accepting the afterlife by American gifted medium Mrs. L. Piper after she repeatedly produced high quality evidence for the afterlife. In Life After Death (1918) he wrote, “ I regard the existence of discarnate spirits as scientifically proved and I no longer refer to the skeptic as having any right to speak on the subject. Any man who does not accept the existence of discarnate spirits and the proof of it is either ignorant or a moral coward. I give him short shrift, and do not propose any longer to argue with him on the supposition that he knows anything about the subject.”

XENOGLOSSY (speaking in a foreign language never learnt or heard before) - another area of objective evidence for the existence of the afterlife. Dr. Morris Netherton reports one case of a blond, blue-eyed eleven-year-old boy, who under hypnosis was taped for eleven minutes as he spoke in an ancient Chinese dialect. When the tape was taken to a professor at the Department of Oriental Studies at the University of California , it turned out to be a recitation from a forbidden religion of Ancient China (Fisher 1986:202).

AUTHOR LYALL WATSON describes a case of a ten-year-old child, an Igarot Indian living in the remote CagayonValley in the Philippines. The child had never had any contact with any language or culture other than his own. Yet under trance conditions the child communicated freely in Zulu, a language he could not have even heard. Watson only recognized it because he had spent his early life in Africa (Lazarus 1993:84).

Edward C. Randall, in his brilliant book, The French Revelation, includes actual speeches made by direct voice from afterlife entities through his medium Mrs. French. Read this most exquisite afterlife glimpse about who they are: “ We are moral, intellectual, and sensitive creatures. Instead of being, as you may imagine, more shadowy and unsubstantial entities, we are possessed of definite, tangible, and exquisitely symmetrical forms, with well-rounded and graceful limbs, and yet so light and elastic that we can glide through the atmosphere with almost electrical speed. The forked lightnings may flash, and the thunders roll in awful reverberation along the vault of heaven, and the rain descend in gushing torrents, but we can stand unharmed by your side. We are endowed with all the beauty, loveliness, and vivacity of youth, and are clothed in flowing vestments of effulgent nature suited to the peculiar degree of refinement of our bodies. Our raiment being composed of phosphorescent principles, we have the power of attracting and absorbing or reflecting the rays evolved, according as our condition is more or less developed. This accounts for our being seen by clairvoyants in different degrees of brightness, from a dusky hue to an intensity of brilliant light.”

GIORDANO BRUNO:  Church leaders must accept the empirical evidence for the afterlife. Why? Giordano Bruno was a scientist martyr who was burnt at the stake for promoting the Copernican heliocentric view of the solar system: "...that it is the earth which revolves around the sun, not as the Church taught for over a thousand years that the sun revolved around the earth and that the earth is in the center of the universe.” Below is an example of why the Church should be extremely careful about releasing information about scientific discoveries it does not want to accept: CARDINAL BELLARMINO stated from Rome: “ If the Copernican theory is true, it would be the absolute undoing of the Bible and the destruction of the Church. If the Earth is only one of many planets and not the center of the universe, and other planets are inhabited, the whole plan of salvation fails, since the inhabitants of the other spheres are without the Bible and Christ did not die for them.” Scientists, empiricists and educated Catholics now know how critical it is for the Vatican to be extremely careful– especially when these days afterlife science is saying that we do NOT stay unconscious in limbo until Jesus comes back to judge the living and the dead. On crossing over, the decent folk continue with their lives IMMEDIATELY. Click on 4th Edition of the BOOK on chapter 28 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE.

Victor Zammit Answers Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking, May 16, 2011, The Guardian: "British scientist Stephen Hawking has branded heaven a fairy story... 'I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark' ... in his 2010 book The Grand Design he said a deity no longer has any place in theories on the creation of the universe in the light of a series of developments in physics."

 

Victor Zammit, 5-18-2011:UNIFORMED Prof Hawking said this week in an interview with the English Guardian newspaper that our brains are like computers. Then he said, "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." I say "PUT UP OR SHUT UP Professor." He made an 'a priori conclusion' - a decision without first investigating the scientific evidence for the afterlife. But other 'genius' scientists, physicists, chemists and biologists, scientifically examined the afterlife - read more 

Steve Jobs' Last Words Editor's note, October 31, 2011: My daughter Sara sent to me this news item about the final words of Steve Jobs. In the 1980s, I owned one of Mr. Jobs' Macs, a fantastic machine. From those days, I recall a phrase of his exuberant self, "insanely great"! It seems that, immediately prior to his passing, Mr. Jobs caught a glimpse of something even more wonderful than cutting-edge high tech... "Before embarking, he'd looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life's partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them," she recalled. "Steve’s final words were: Oh, wow! Oh, wow! Oh, wow!" CLICK HERE for my Personal Statement #3, An Introduction To The Scientific Evidence For The AfterLife.

Victor Zammit, 11-11-11:  YOU CANNOT TALK TO A CATERPILLAR IN BUTTERFLY LANGUAGE! The phrase captures the frustration of those who try to communicate their experiences and the evidence for the afterlife with those who just do not have the the capacity, the competence and the skills to perceive the paranormal and the afterlife evidence in a purely objective, balanced way. People who have had near death experiences and after death contacts are aware of the importance of understanding and accepting the most important evidence they will come across in their lifetime. Often they find that their family members and colleagues are just not open to hearing their experiences or reading the evidence. But gradually, little by little the message is getting out. Brave scientists, medical doctors and other pioneers of afterlife science are challenging materialism. People everywhere are writing on the internet about their direct experiences of the afterlife and paranormal. And more and more people are evolving to a level of spirituality where they can accept that there is more to life than the material.

Edward C. Randall, the Buffalo attorney who, for 22 years, worked with medium Emily French and received thousands of direct-voice communications from the Spirit World. One most provocative message from the other side: "Vain would be the effort to speak of things for which earth has no language or parallel. Some few conditions of this better land of ours I may describe in human speech; more, we are not allowed to give, lest it tempt many to end earth life, with work undone."
