Personal Statement #3

An Introduction
to
-
- the
Scientific Evidence for
-
- The AfterLife
September 28,
2008
My dear Aunt Helen tells the story of something Grandma
Becker (P.S. #16) said on her deathbed.
Grandma was fading in and out, would lapse
into unconsciousness but then become somewhat lucid.
Upon one of her returns, she indicated
that she had just been on the Other Side - but, also, with a certain tone of
incredulity and surprise, reported to the family around her bed that
she had seen Uncle Wendlin as a member of her receiving
party.
"Even Uncle Wendlin is
there!!"
I will explain in a forthcoming
article why Grandma's statement is so funny to our family. For
now, I'll just say that our dear Uncle Wendlin, Grandpa's older
brother, was an eccentric bachelor farmer.
The AfterLife is
real!
There is no death! only transition to another
dimensional state of being.
Your departed loved ones live on and are presently
involved in your life.
Not a Matter of “Belief” ...
but Objective, Corroborated, Empirically-Based
Evidence
-
-
-
“There is a great body of evidence which, taken as a
whole, absolutely and unqualifiedly proves the case for the
afterlife... This evidence would be technically admissible in the
Supreme Court of the United States, the House of Lords in England,
the High Court of Australia and in every civilized legal
jurisdiction around the world.”
Victor Zammit, retired
attorney of the Supreme Court of the
New South Wales and the High Court of
Australia.
Many of us have not visited Russia, but we are
confident there is such a place; none of us personally knew Abraham
Lincoln, but only the daft would question his existence. On what
basis can we be certain of these things? Evidence! Corroborated,
objective, empirically-based evidence. And you will discover that there
is a mountain of hard-core evidence substantiating the reality of
the AfterLife!
As Sir Oliver Lodge, renowned British physicist,
knighted for his pioneering work in electricity and the radio, said many
years ago, it was not any single case or communication
that convinced him of ultimate survival, but rather, the
cumulative evidence - you will find there is a great deal
of that!

-
StarTrek, Generations (1994) - Guinan describes
the Nexus as a place where one can inhabit joy; where one's
unfulfilled dreams come true. It is likely that the writers of
this entertaining movie knew something of a very real Realm known
as Summerland. You will learn more about this
port-of-entry to the Next World in Personal Statements #7, 20, 63.
This Has Nothing To Do With
Religion
For thousands of years institutional religion has had
us believe that it, alone, is the gatekeeper to the AfterLife. You
will find that such power-posturing is illusion. The AfterLife is
the unavoidable destination of all – atheist, agnostic, and
religionist. Just as one’s birth is not a religious event, per se,
so it is with the day of one’s departure from this world and
entrance to the next – a very natural process that cannot be
stopped.

What Is This Thing
We Call Death?
It’s something like this.
Think
of a common radio dial. Tune into the station at the 550 reading and
listen to the music. Now, move on to the 610 setting for the news.
As we spin the dial, does the 550 station cease to exist? Is it "dead"?
No one would suggest this because we understand that the radio waves associated with
550 undulate at a different frequency relative to 610 -
and once we tune into the higher wave band, 550 effectively
becomes “invisible” to us - it's still there, of course, but we can't
access it until we tune in again.
The room in which you are presently reading this page
is filled with all manner of electromagnetic energy waves: radio,
x-ray, gamma, visible light, etc., etc. - but your five senses can
access only a small fraction of that great mass of energy-soup!
So, too, the Spirit
World is all around us, but normally we cannot access or see it. The
Spirit World is like the 610 radio setting when our mortal world,
and our five senses, are stuck at 550 – we can’t
access 610 when we are tuned into 550!
-
What we, from our
mortal perspective, call “death,” is, so to speak, simply a shift in
frequency from this mortal shell, which vibrates at 550, to a
newly-released inner energy life, which vibrates at 610!
What I
have just described is no mere analogy but is very close to the
truth. The bodies of spirit entities are
invisible to us because the energy of which they are composed is of
a finer nature and vibrates at a higher frequency than that of our
heavier-matter mortal bodies.

I would like you to know that my findings
regarding the AfterLife are not mere flippant comments but
based on extensive research - I have read nearly 200 books on
this subject, listened to over 100 taped
interviews/testimonials, and continue to seek information here
every week. In the face of this substantial corpus of
information, a very few of these sources would I recommend -
but one that you must read is Michael Newton's Journey of
Souls. Dr. Newton is a counseling
psychologist who helped pioneer a method of hypnotically
regressing clients to a point between lives - after death, but
before birth; in other words, he helped patients access hidden
memories about their lives on the Other Side. His books
represent a distillation of 7000 interviews and 30 years of
work. Allow me to summarize the essence: It doesn't matter whether one is
an atheist, an agnostic, a Catholic, Protestant, or whatever -
under hypnosis, all speak of and describe the same place! the
same general process regarding spirit life! Newton remarks: "People even use the
same words
and
graphic descriptions ... when discussing the [Other
Side]."

this youtube
interview of Dr. Newton.

Why Don’t More People Know About the
Evidence?
You will discover that scores of scientists, many of them
among the most renowned of history, have not only accepted the
evidence for the AfterLife but have been, and are, actively engaged
in research in this area.
There are always
skeptics. Doubt and questioning is part of the scientific process
and is a good thing. But there are those who pose as fair-minded
skeptics but, in reality, are materialists – those who feign
objectivity before cameras - but will not accept
AfterLife research information in any case.
Why
The Hostility To Psychic Science?
Simply stated: vested interests.
Consider the
implications.
Hard-core materialist scientists would have to admit that
their reductionist view of the universe is in error. How many would
be willing to admit that a life’s work was built on a bed of sand?
And unscrupulous church politicians would have to admit that they
are not, after all, the gatekeepers of heaven. This would be
bad news for them, bad for business, as threats of hell and expulsion
from heaven have been a way to control, and gain profit from,
the ignorant masses for millennia.
Michael Tymn
reports:
-
I recently discussed the
resistance of academia to survival evidence with Dr. Stafford
Betty, professor of religious studies at California State
University, Bakersfield... "My atheistic friends
resist even the slightest whiff of an argument for an afterlife,"
Professor Betty told me. "I have not seen more closed
minds. Why is this? Why would anyone resist such good
news - the kind of news strongly supported by serious, in-depth
research on the NDE, for example? I think I know. It is
not so much that my hard-bitten friends hate the thought of living
beyond death; what they hate is religion. And they associate religion with the
afterlife. It doesn't matter how hard you try to convince
them that the contemporary case for afterlife is not based on
sacred texts, but on empirical studies conducted by
well-credentialed social scientists or doctors. It doesn't
matter. Their minds are set. Also, the older generation
(in their 70s and 80s) grew up hearing that the only things that
were real were material. Changing their minds on that score would
threaten their very
identity. So they bravely move toward death, trying
not to think about it, and gritting their teeth when they have
to. I think the young are less invested
in
metaphysical materialism than the elderly. Their
minds are slightly more open, if only because of the barrage of
Hollywood films set in an afterlife."
Editor's
note: See P.S. #19 for a discussion on distorted
personal identity, why it's easily
threatened, and how its resultant misperception affects everything
we do.
- Raymond Moody,
MD: "For although it certainly seems possible in some
cases to show how the features of the experience touch upon
unresolved conflicts in the mind of the experiencer, it
is just as true that certain features of the psychological
'explanation' of an unusual experience may derive from, or
otherwise reflect, unresolved conflicts in the mind of the
explainer. Hence, if one is going to
dismiss someone else's experience because it can be seen to
reflect that experiencer's psychological hang-ups, one seems
equally obliged to dismiss a person's attempt to explain away the
experience, if that explanation can be seen to reflect the
explainer's own psychological
hang-ups."
- Professor Deborah Blum: "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."

Investigations by Stacy Horn

The Most Important Information of Your
Life
There is much to learn here. I would encourage you to
investigate this most treasured of information for the rest of your
time in this world.
-
AfterLife entities tell us
that it is very important for us to learn as much as possible
about the Other Side – the more we know, the easier will be
our transition, the faster will be our progress there. We are informed
by these Guides and Advisors that so many, even most, people enter
the AfterLife in a woeful condition of fear, confusion,
and disorientation, causing them to delay their progress, retarding
their growth, setting them back, for years - in some cases, hundreds
of years! This malady, however, is a treatable disease; indeed,
a preventable one, as knowledge will smooth the way for you and
give you confidence. We will find that the AfterLife offers
us incredibly wonderful opportunities for personal development; for love
- even romantic love; for learning; for adventure and exploration;
for enjoying beauty and the fine arts; and for service to
others... but... no one will
force you to do anything... you must be ready to receive... in all
matters, your own choices will
rule!
The
World of Spirit, those of that realm are quick to assert,
is the “real” and substantial world, while ours, they say, is one of
shadows and forms, a mere training ground. Learning about our "true
home" will transform your present life.

Victor explains: "THE OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PERSONAL BELIEF! On this site you will get
to know the findings of many scientists, empiricists, and
other professionals who systematically investigated the afterlife
and psychic phenomena for more than a century. AND you will get
to know with absolute certainty that everyone
survives death. The afterlife is inevitable and has huge
consequences."
Rev.
Dr. George M. Searle, Rector, Catholic Church of St. Paul, 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."
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.”
Dr.
Albert
Einstein:
"It is entirely possible that behind the
perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are
unaware."

Editor's note,
May 30, 2009: Yesterday, I posted a note
featuring a message I received, via psychic-medium Norma (Personal
Statement # 25), from two departed friends (P.S. # 20, 23).
Today, a reader sent to me this response [names changed to
preserve anonymity]:
-
Hi, Wayne, That is absolutely
amazing, the manner in which Felix "communicated" with you... I am
going to share with you a mind-blowing
encounter that I experienced with one of my good
friend's boyfriends who passed away over 2 years ago... Here it is: My
good friend, Sarah, had a boyfriend named Bruce, who had been ill for
a number of weeks... The doctors told him that he had
congestive heart failure. His condition continued to deteriorate until
he succumbed to his illness. Needless to say, Sarah was
devastated... Now for the "mind-blowing" part: I didn't know yet
that Bruce had died, not until the next day. However, that very night that he passed away, I smelled cigar
smoke VERY STRONGLY. I kept asking everyone around me, "Do
you smell that cigar smoke?" No one else smelled it. Only me. I
dismissed it as being "all in my mind, I guess." Then came the
night of Bruce's funeral: Once again, cigar smoke filled the air,
so strong that my eyes felt as if they were burning. And once
again, NO ONE else could smell it. I was starting to get very
spooked by this, but, again, I dismissed it as being nothing,
since no one else could smell it. Then, two nights later, I was
lying in bed, fully awake when Bruce appeared before me with a
message: He said, "I want you to tell Sarah
how I REALLY died: But first, the reason you were smelling cigar
smoke was because I wanted to give you a kind of
hint: The hint is this: Take the word cigars
and rearrange the letters from back to front, minus 2
letters, and then, well, you'll know how to take it from there. When
you figure it out, tell Sarah that this was the cause of my death."
And he was gone. I did as he asked, and the
word was "ARSENIC." I was so shocked and taken off guard, but
the next day, I told Sarah. It was very awkward to approach this
with her, but I told her about this message from Bruce, and asked
her if she knew of anyone who might have poisoned him. She
said "No," but she couldn't get it out of her head. Six months later,
Sarah came to my house, crying, and between sobs told me that she
found out that the person that she and Bruce had been living with
for months (during his entire "illness") had
killed her parents with arsenic, and that she was arrested for
this. There was
enough evidence to prove that this was true. Sarah said she then
KNEW that this girl poisoned Bruce with arsenic.
This girl had been preparing Bruce's meals when Sarah was
out. Sad, isn't it? Anyway, that was ALL the proof I'll ever need
that people can communicate with the "dead." I'll never forget
that night, the night of "Bruce's message." Just wanted to share
this with you. There are very few people who know about this, but
you are definitely one who could understand
this.
Testimony of an AfterLife
Entity: “To die is not tragic.
To live in your world is tragic. To see the garden of the Great
Power chocked with the weeds of selfishness and greed and avarice,
that is tragedy. To die is to enjoy freedom of the spirit, which has
been imprisoned behind the bars of the material body. Is it tragic
to be released from suffering, for the soul to come into its own? Is
it tragic to see wonders of color, to hear music that does not
belong to material expression? Do you call it tragic to express
yourself in a body that has not pain, to be able to roam all over
the world of matter in a flash and to taste the beauties of the
spirit of life too?”
Professor James
Hyslop: This professor of
logic and ethics from Columbia University, a most obdurate
closed-minded skeptic who for many years disseminated much
anti-psychic propaganda, eventually conceded to the genuineness of
Mrs.
Piper's mediumship. He founded the American Society for
Psychical Research and wrote seven books on the evidence for
survival Science and a Future Life (1906); Borderland
of Psychical Research (1906); Enigmas of Psychical
Research (1906); Psychical Research and the
Resurrection (1908); Psychical Research and Survival
(1913); Life After Death (1918) and Contact with the
Other World (1919).
In Life After
Death (1918) he famously wrote:
"I regard the existence
of discarnate spirits as scientifically proved and I no longer refer
to the sceptic 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."
Professor Richet,
winner of a Noble Prize for Physiology: How
many times have you heard it glibly stated, "Well, nobody
has ever come back from the dead to tell us"... This is all manifest
ignorance, and, on the part of some, willful blindness, as
thousands, millions, have come back from the Other Side to offer
comfort, inspiration, and evidence of the AfterLife. Dr. Richet, as
a life's work, studied materialization and
writes of the phenomena in his book Thirty Years of Psychical
Research: "I shall
not waste time in stating the absurdities, almost the
impossibilities, from a psycho-physiological point of view, of this
phenomenon. A living being, or living matter, formed under our eyes,
which has its proper warmth, apparently a circulation of blood, and
a physiological respiration which has also a kind of psychic
personality having a will distinct from the will of the medium, in a
word, a new human being! This is surely the climax of
marvels. Nevertheless, it is a
fact."
Testimony of an AfterLife
Entity: “There is not in
your world one artist who could capture with his paints some of the
glories of my world. There is not one musician who could record some
of the glories of the music sphere with your notes. There is not one
writer who could describe in physical words the beauty of parts of
this world … We have flowers such as you have never seen, we have
colors such as your eye has never beheld, we have scenes and
forests, we have birds and plants, we have streams and mountains.
You have nothing to compare them with. And you will be able to enjoy
them.”
Dr.
Frederic W. H. Myers: speaking from the AfterLife via Geraldine
Cummins:
"It is not so much what you
will find when you come to this side of life as what you will
bring with you... Bring all of your soul treasures - you will
need them, your culture, your love of art, of music - all this you
will use... material possessions you will not need... We are
undisguised, for [it will be plain to all] 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... The reality [of
The AfterLife] is infinitely more wonderful than our most daring
conjectures. Indeed, no conjecture is sufficiently
daring." Editor's note: These final
words of Myers strike me as utterly
provocative!
Dr.
Leslie Weatherhead: "Think of Frederic
W. H. Myers saying, through a
reputable medium like Geraldine Cummins, 'If only I could tell you what [the AfterLife
is] like; I just haven't the words to tell you how marvelous it is;
the sense of beauty, the sense of freedom, the
sense of love'
..."
-
Editor's note:
this above reference to the words of F.W.H. Myers in the AfterLife
always stops me short, no matter how many times I read it: "the sense of beauty, the
sense of freedom, the sense of love" - incredible! By the way, you will want to read about Myers, who, before his
passing, was a professor of classical languages. He used this skill
in a most ingenious plan, one executed while in the AfterLife, to
offer some of the most convincing evidence of the reality
of that realm! Read about it on Victor's site, a chapter
in his free book:
The
Myers Cross-Correspondences.
A final thought
for you:
The single most
provocative statement in my collection from AfterLife persons might be
this one:
These words alone
should suggest to you the transcendent wonders of the AfterLife
- and why you'll want to know more about this
subject.
