A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife THE AFTERLIFE http://www.victorzammit.com/ INTRODUCTION THE OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION OR PERSONAL BELIEF! In this book you will get to know the findings of many of intelligent scientists, empiricists and other professionals who systematically investigated the afterlife and psychic phenomena over more than a century, and you will get to know with absolute certainty that everyone survives death. The afterlife is inevitable and this knowledge has huge consequences. WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE? Death is inevitable. Do you know exactly what is going to happen to you when you pass on? http://www.victorzammit.com/book/4thedition/index.html A Lawyer Presents the Case for the Afterlife Irrefutable Objective Evidence -- by Victor Zammit Copyright 2006; 4th edition +++++++++++++ 1 CHAPTER 1 1. Opening statement “Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, but to weigh and consider.” - Sir Francis Bacon "The present condition in world affairs is such, and the doubts and misgivings to which it has given rise so full of gloom, that no individual has the right to withhold information concerning what he regards as possible sources of faith and hope." – Rev.H. Westwood, There Is a Psychic World, 1949. There is undeniable scientific evidence today for the afterlife. I am a former practicing attorney-at-law formally qualified in a number of university disciplines. I am also an open-minded sceptic . The argument that follows is not just an abstract, theoretical, academic legal argument. As an open-minded investigator, I set out to investigate the existing evidence for survival after death and, with others, to test claims that communication with intelligences from the afterlife is possible. After many years of serious investigation I have come to the irretrievable conclusion that there is a great body of evidence which, taken as a whole, absolutely and unqualifiedly proves the case for the afterlife. I will not be arguing that the objective evidence has high probative value. Nor am I suggesting that this evidence be accepted beyond reasonable doubt. I am stating that the evidence taken as a whole constitutes overwhelming and irrefutable proof for the existence of the afterlife. There have been millions of pages written about psychic phenomena and scientific research into the afterlife. Using my professional background as an attorney and my university training in psychology, history and scientific method, I have very carefully selected aspects of psychic research and afterlife knowledge that would constitute objective evidence. 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. When the objective evidence, near death experiences, out of body experiences, after-death contacts, voices on tape, psychic laboratory experiments, the best mediums, the Cross Correspondences, the Scole Experiment, proxy sittings, poltergeists and all of the other evidence contained in this work is seen collectively, the case for survival after death is absolutely stunning and irrefutable. The evidence presented in this work also proves the existence of so-called 'psychic phenomena', which are interconnected with the afterlife and can only 2 be explained satisfactorily by survival of the individual soul and personality after death. In absolute terms the evidence presented in this work will convince the rational and intelligent open-minded sceptic or the genuine searcher about the existence of the afterlife. Why don’t more people know about the evidence? For many years there has been hostility towards psychic science in the mainstream media and in universities and in some of the churches. The discoveries of serious scientists working to prove the afterlife have been misreported, distorted and ignored. High profile closed-minded sceptics have been given unfair license by the media to ridicule, cheat and lie, with the result that members of the general public know very little about the great body of scientific research which has been accumulated. Many people who are genuinely seeking to explore this fascinating area have not been able to access unbiased factual information because they may not have the skills or the time to read and analyze the huge number of technical books and articles available on this subject (see Bibliography). In some societies these books are still simply not available because of formal and informal censorship. Knowledge which is ‘subjective’ includes all information which cannot be independently substantiated. This includes personal beliefs - Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and other religions. Subjective knowledge also includes closed-minded materialist scepticism (modern usage: a strongly held belief that the afterlife does not exist) because in context of the afterlife, no sceptic can use science to objectively prove that (a) closed-minded scepticism is scientific or (b) that nothing exists in the afterlife. The original meaning of scepticism referred to the critical examination of a phenomenon without accepting or rejecting it. The original meaning of scepticism had nothing to do with completely denying the afterlife or the validity of psychic phenomena. Like religion, closed-minded scepticism is a personal, subjective belief which is subject to fundamental errors and to complete invalidation. Because a personal subjective religious or sceptical belief does not have the substance of science, any subjective religious or sceptical belief inevitably can be absolutely invalid. Objective knowledge - science is where the same results and the same cause- effect connection can be demonstrated over time and space. Science is regarded as ‘objective’ in that any person who follows the scientific formulas, keeping variables constant, will get the same results - repeatability. The studies of voices on tape - Electronic Voice Phenomenon (*EVP and *ITC – see next chapters) and mediumship have clearly showed this element of repeatability. Investigators working independently in many different countries 3 have been able to duplicate each other’s work. Inevitably the objective prevails over the subjective. But not all science is conducted in the laboratory. Within the definition of science there is also the ‘scientific, systematic observation of a phenomenon.’ For example, whilst we accept and believe that thunder and lightning and storms do occur, we cannot duplicate them under laboratory conditions. Case studies too are important to scientific method. As long as there is strict adherence to scientific method, the results of the observations can become scientifically based. A word of caution What I have found in many of the meetings about the afterlife is that some people accept much of the information presented but some want to put emphasis on, or disagree about, reincarnation or astrology, or meditation or prayer or crystals or even atheism or agnosticism. For the purpose of the record, it is not my intention to try to change anybody’s beliefs or religion. This is not religious crusading. This is not a matter of faith or belief. This is a matter of either acceptance or non-acceptance of the objective evidence. You are being given access to some very important objective information about the afterlife, the most important information you will ever come across in your lifetime. But ultimately, given all the information, you the reader will have to decide what you accept or reject. But if you reject the evidence presented in this work the onus shifts onto you to show objectively why you have rejected the evidence. In the past, the clergy refused to accept science because it conflicted with the clergy's personal religious beliefs. When Galileo showed the Pope the telescope and told him that it would prove Galileo's view of the universe, the Pope called the telescope 'the work of the devil' and refused to look through it. But the clergy had to eventually accept that science prevailed over personal, subjective religious beliefs. It can never be any other way. You the reader have to take extreme care not to fall into the comfort zone trap, rejecting objective information just because the objective, scientific information conflicts with your personal, subjective beliefs — be they religious or sceptical . Where there is an inconsistency between objective information and subjective belief there may be a need for either more investigation or a change in the subjective belief. It is submitted that once people feel comfortable with a set of beliefs, they do not want to change them even if new, objective and scientific information shows they are completely invalid. Many beliefs become part of the emotional makeup and get hard-wired into the nervous system. These beliefs become very hard to shift. The ‘boggle threshold’ 4 Even if the information is scientific, we initially tend to reject information that is too advanced or if it challenges our ‘boggle threshold’ by being too far ahead of our existing knowledge especially if the information is not consistent with our secular or religious beliefs, history, culture, values and tradition. Repeatedly, we have had to adjust our beliefs and value systems to accommodate scientific marvels such as man walking on the moon and spectacular space explorations. Similarly, adjustments have to be made when dealing with psychic phenomena. ++++++++++++ 5 CHAPTER 2 2. Respected scientists who investigated “I am absolutely convinced of the fact that those who once lived on earth can and do communicate with us. It is hardly possible to convey to the inexperienced an adequate idea of the strength and cumulative force of the evidence.” Sir William Barrett F.R.S. “I tell you we do persist. Communication is possible. I have proved that the people who communicate are who and what they say they are. The conclusion is that survival is scientifically proved by scientific investigation.” Sir Oliver Lodge F.R.S. “It is quite true that a connection has been set up between this world and the next.” Sir William Crookes F.R.S.

  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

The reason for this was that I had been asked to review a reissue of A Path Prepared, a short biography of the physical medium Isa Northage, for The Journal of The Society for Psychical Research. Mrs Northage was alleged to have produced some quite remarkable and novel phenomena, during the inter-war and post- war years, by witnesses who had submitted their personal accounts for publication in the book. Yet she had slipped out of public memory. This was despite the fact that her séances had, apparently, been widely reported in the Spiritualist press at the time. After remarking to Leslie Price, who reviewed the book in Psypioneer,1 that it was a shame that, by then, witnesses of Mrs Northage’s activities would probably be quite difficult to find; I embarked on what I anticipated would be a long and frustrating search for some.

William James Center for Consciousness Studies Institute of Transpersonal Psychology Palo Alto, California, 94303 USA Psychomanteum Research 2 Abstract A Psychomanteum Process involving mirror-gazing was conducted in a research setting to explore apparent facilitated contact with deceased friends and relatives, and to collect data on the phenomena, experiences, and effects on bereavement. A pilot study with 5 participants resulted in strong experiences and 4 apparent contacts. The main study took 27 participants through a three stage process: remembering a deceased friend or relative, sitting in a darkened room gazing into a mirror while thinking of the person, and finally discussing and reflecting on the experience. Data were collected with pre- and post- questionnaires, a follow-up questionnaire at least 4 weeks after the session, interviews by the facilitators, and two personality measures, the Tellegen Absorption Scale and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Contacts with the sought person were reported by 13 participants. Participants reported that a variety of imagery appeared in the mirror, as well as experiences of dialogue, sounds, light, body sensations, and smell. Several specific messages were reported by participants who believed that they were from the sought persons. Twenty-one self report items relating to bereavement were analyzed for changes between pre- and follow-up questionnaires. Statistically significant reductions in bereavement responses occurred over the entire group using a Wilcoxon signed ranks analysis (p = .05 to .0008).

  • The Third Secret of Fatima
    Fatima Apparitional Experiences Dr James Paul Pandarakalam An apparition may provide evidence of the authenticity of its manifestation at a physical site by offering predictions that are to be fulfilled at a later date. One of the distinctive features of the events at Fatima in Portugal in 1917 is the fulfilment in our own time of the predictions made. Ever since the occurrence of these famous visionary experiences, among observers and believers there has been an exponential interest in the third secret. Voice phenomena observed during Marian apparitions such as those at Fatima have analogies with externally controlled recurrent spontaneous psychokinetic (RSPK) activity, and visionary experiences involving RSPK or RSPK-like activity may be instances of apparitions at a physical site. The voice extinction and sensory disconnection demonstrated in the Fatima percipients could be explained as psychokinetic-like activity on the part of the apparition. True apparitional experiences prove the existence of psi-like phenomena and discarnate survival. In general, paranormal phenomena involve non-physical, physical and social events. Only physical events are accessible to scientific study. Marian apparitional experiences may be subjected to scientific analysis, but Marian apparition is beyond the scientific realm. The Fatima apparitional events inform research into post-mortem existence and offer a complementary insight into our current knowledge of the discarnate realm. Marian apparitions may be regarded as an antidote to the afflictions of the present century. Introduction Several hundreds of apparitional experiences have been claimed to have occurred in the twentieth century. Marian apparitional experiences have been reported in nearly all the continents of the world in the later half of that century.

Nevertheless, it is the most complete record available of the physical mediumship of Alexander Frederick Harris from Cardiff, South Wales and is well worth reading. It appears that around the year 1934, Alec Harris reluctantly started to develop his mediumship under the mentorship of his neighbour, a medium called Mary Hewitt. By 1940, independent writing, voice phenomena and other related physical mediumship were being produced. Harris’ full form materialisation was in its commencement. The editor of The Two Worlds Ernest Thompson was an early witness to these materialisations and saw a perfect female form through Harris.
