There are many people on the earth vibration who live in ignorance that there is another dimension to dwell within after what is known as “death”. There are many people that live upon the earth vibration in a state of unhappiness, in a state of desolation within the heart. And of course, by proving to people that life exists beyond death, the greater purpose is to bring about a realisation that life upon the Earth vibration can be far different to what it is at this moment. But of course, if the Earth’s vibration can be changed by proving to the wider world that life exists beyond visible death, just think, my friend, what the difference would be upon your vibration. And let me tell you this: the purpose of individuals coming together like yourselves is for the purpose to prove the existence of the human soul, to alleviate suffering, to alleviate despair, to bring light to the multitudes of individuals that live in complete ignorance of what there is for each living person. Tell me this, how can any self respecting individual that has the proof of the continuity of life deny bringing this wonderful revelation to many other individuals? Any reader who picks up Mr. Zammit’s book will see by his empirical evidence, his truth, his honesty and his clarity of mind that he has taken the time to investigate the true purpose of the human soul’s transition from the state of living within the Earth vibration to the state of what is known as the next life. There is much information contained within these pages that readers, be they novice or learned in the understanding of life after death, will find interesting. 6 This book can surely change the inquirer’s mind to understand that [whereas] once they thought that death was the end, that their mind will be released of the bondage of uncertainty and that they will surely see that life exists beyond the grave. William Cadwell 7 1. Opening statement “Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, but to weigh and consider.” Sir Francis Bacon 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 skeptic. 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 irreversible conclusion that there is a great body of evidence which, taken as a whole, absolutely and without a doubt proves the case for the afterlife. I will not be arguing that the objective evidence has high value as proof. 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. 8 When the objective evidence - modern materializations, 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 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 skeptic 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, in universities and in some of the churches. The discoveries of serious scientists working to prove the afterlife have been misreported, distorted and censored with the result that members of the general public know very little about the great body of scientific research that 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 money, skills or the time to purchase, read and analyze the huge number of technical books and articles available on this subject, many of which have not been translated into multiple languages (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 9 cannot be independently substantiated. This includes personal beliefs: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and other religions. Subjective information also includes closed-minded materialist skepticism (modern usage: a strongly held belief that the afterlife does not exist) because in context of the afterlife, no skeptic can use science to objectively prove that closed-minded skepticism is scientific or that nothing exists in the afterlife. The original meaning of skepticism referred to the critical examination of a phenomenon without accepting or rejecting it. The original meaning of skepticism had nothing to do with completely denying the afterlife or the validity of psychic phenomena. Like religion, closed-minded skepticism is a personal, subjective belief that is subject to fundamental errors and to complete invalidation. Because a personal subjective religious or skeptical belief does not have the substance of science, any subjective religious or skeptical belief

  • Leslie Flint
    Seeking to Establish Knowledge and Understanding /www.thevoice-box.com (or) /www.the-voicebox.com /[email protected] The Mediumship of Leslie Flint 'I need no trumpets or other paraphernalia. The voices of the dead Speak directly to their friends or relatives and are located in space a little above my head and slightly to one side of me. They are objective voices which my sitters can record'. Leslie Flint. (1 ) A full and very readable account of Leslie Flint's life and mediumship is to be found in his autobiography, Voices in the Dark. Writing in 1971, Leslie begins by advising the readers: 'In spite of a childhood which would give any modern child nightmares, or perhaps because of it, I have reached the age of fifty-nine without falling prey to neurosis, psychosis or even the screaming meemies. I am a happy man'.(2) When Leslie's unmarried mother realized that she was pregnant, she left the home shared with her widowed mother in St Albans, and gave birth to Leslie in a Salvation Army home in Hackney, in 1911. On returning home, she married Leslie's father. However, the marriage was unsuccessful; Leslie's mother enjoyed the 'bright lights', while his father 'drank most of his wages and put the rest on horses which never seemed to win'. When war broke out in 1914, Leslie's father was one of the first to enlist, 'simply to get away from the domestic hell he lived in'. From this time onwards, his mother would go out each evening and deposit the young Leslie with the wife of the local cinema manager; therefore, each evening, he would spend his time watching whatever film was being shown.

Often Harold was a dinner guest at our house and as usual after our meal “the boys” would discuss magic and collecting. Harold’s plan for his books and ephemera was to donate it all to his alma mater, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. As we all know that’s what happened to his collection. Ed on the other hand disagreed with Harold’s plan and said that when the time came for him to dissolve his library he wanted everything to be sold; so that other collectors could enjoy what he had amassed.

  • Energy Fields – General Page 1 of 11
    25.0 Energy Fields – General Page 1 of 11 25.0: Energy Fields - General Every object, whether living or inanimate, is comprised of atoms and is therefore endowed with an energy field. This field is a collective expression of all the individual atomic fields contained within the object. It has been known for thousands of years that crystals emit energy at different frequencies which will affect the human body in different ways: 1 The first historical references to the use of crystals come from the Ancient Sumerians, who included crystals in magic formulas. The Ancient Egyptians used lapis lazuli, turquoise, carnelian, emerald and clear quartz in their jewellery. They also carved grave amulets of the same gems. The Ancient Egyptians used stones primarily for protection and health. The human body, too, being constructed from atomic particles, has an energy field which is readily detectable both by other sensitive people and machines built for that specific purpose. This field which exists around each human being has many names; usually the ‘Aura’ or ‘Human Energy Field’. Of this field the spiritual healer and author Barbara Ann Brennan notes: 2 There are many systems that people have created from their observations to define the auric field. All these systems divide the aura into layers and define the layers by locations, colour, brightness, form, density, fluidity and function. Each system is geared to the kind of work the individual is "doing" with the aura. The two systems most similar to mine are the ones used by Jack Schwarz, which has more than seven layers and is described in his book, Human Energy Systems, and the system used by Rev.

  • THE MEDIUMSHIP of ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship
    THE MEDIUMSHIP OF ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship by HARRY EDWARDS Captain, Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Lieutenant, Home Guard. Parliamentary Candidate North Camberwell 1929 and North-West Camberwell 1936. London County Council Candidate 1928, 1931, 1934, 1937. Leader of the Balham Psychic Research Society. Author of ‘The Mediumship of Jack Webber’ First Published by: THE PSYCHIC BOOK CLUB 144 High Holborn, London, W.C. 1 FOREWORD Apart from the report by Mr. W. Harrison of the early development of Mr. Arnold Clare's mediumship, the descriptions of the séances, the revelations of Peter and the writing of this book took place during the war years 1940-41. As enemy action on London intensified, the physical séances ceased and in the autumn of 1940 were replaced by discussion circles. The first few circles took place in the author's house before a company of about twenty people. It was soon appreciated that the intelligence (known as Peter), speaking through the entranced medium, was of a high order and worthy of reporting. So these large discussion groups gave way to a small circle held in the medium's house, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Edwards and the author, an occasional visitor and with Mrs. W. B. Cleveland as stenographer. The procedure at these circles would be that, in normal white light, Mr. Clare would enter into a trance state. His Guide, Peter, taking control, would discourse upon the selected topic answering all questions fluently and without hesitation. Frequently, during these sittings, the air-raid sirens would be heard and the local anti- aircraft guns would be in action.

  • Récit De Première Main De Matérialisations Michael Roll (Traduction De L'anglais Par Jacques B-G)
    Récit de première main de matérialisations Michael Roll (Traduction de l'Anglais par Jacques B-G) Mars 1983 Le texte que nous vous livrons est pour le moins étrange, si étrange, et tellement difficile à imaginer, que lorsqu'il nous est parvenu, j'ai aussitôt recherché confirmation de son origine et de certains aspects rapportés. Je me suis donc adressé à Michael Roll, dont je suis avec intérêt l'intense campagne d'information qu'il réalise en Angleterre depuis une dizaine d'années, sur le thème de la vie après la vie, s'appuyant, entre autres expériences personnelles, sur les travaux et découvertes de Ronald Pearson au sujet de la structure de l'univers et des rapports qu'il en fait avec la physique quantique. La réponse que j'ai obtenue est claire, je vous la livre ci-après : "Jacques, je suis très heureux que vous soyez en train de traduire mon rapport au sujet de l'expérimentation à laquelle j'ai assisté avec le très Michael Roll lors d'une interview grand médium à effets physiques, Rita Goold. De cette manière, le bon télévisée "La science de l'éternité" peuple de France (traduction littérale) pourra partager cette formidable par Alan Pemberton. expérience. Ceci est un rapport que j'ai bien écrit. Je l'ai fait parvenir au Professeur Archie Roy du département d'astrophysique de l'université de Glasgow, afin qu'il soit au courant et qu'il puisse être aussi témoin par lui-même au cours d'une autre séance. Suite à cela, il prépara du matériel, dont une caméra de prise de vue infra rouge, afin d'enregistrer tous les défunts qui seraient physiquement réunis avec leurs êtres chers sur terre, prouvant ainsi, et sans aucun doute, la survivance après la mort.
