The Exciting Reality of the Afterlife Rejected by Closed Minded Skeptics

Listening to actual recorded descriptions of “the undiscovered country” through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint is always incredible, thrilling, breathtaking, and astounding. When I first heard some of this material I could not contain my excitement, I became a raving maniac and to the annoyance of my associates, it was all I could talk about for weeks! It is so fantastic! It is so much like being in “The Twilight Zone” or in some other science fiction program, or seeing for the first time full color panoramic photos of another planet, or realizing that a miracle of biblical proportions just took place as if Moses himself just came back and divided the Red Sea again. In fact Saint Matthew himself did come back to speak.

Then again, I was just as dumbfounded by the almost universal lack of interest, and sometimes even complete rejection, fear and/or hatred of this subject of spiritualism. I have no doubt whatsoever of Leslie Flint’s mediumship, and the only real darkness in this world comes from the darkness of those who’s belief systems are too closed-minded, materialistic and restricted to know the real truth. Don’t you just “love” those closed-minded materialistic skeptical debunker “professors” who always seem to “officially” condemn a subject without first carefully studying it? They have to be the ultimate practitioners of “professional” mental laziness! There is nothing wrong with being skeptical, in fact it is healthy to be that way and we need to be very careful when it comes to accepting what others say and their opinions. It becomes a problem only when one gets too closed minded, or outright cynical to the point where the possibility of gaining vital knowledge or a tremendous discovery on the frontier of science is permanently closed off. Any extraordinary claim or phenomenon of a spiritual or paranormal nature needs to be investigated thoroughly and objectively without the distortions of a prejudiced, closed minded, and materialistic attitude.

“Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.” – Albert Einstein

Apparently, even Albert Einstein hated prejudiced debunkers. Anyway, I can now confidently enjoy the excitement, awe and wonder of learning everything I can about this amazing “undiscovered country” that lies beyond all the horizons of our physical reality here on Earth. Now that I have been listening to the “Leslie Flint” voices for several months, I fully realize the sheer enormity and gravity of the need to establish communication between the worlds as easily as calling someone in a different country would have to be the greatest breakthrough in the history of humankind. This possibility is not science fiction or some far-fetched fantasy.

The afterlife is as real as you and I and in many ways is even more real because of its finer nature, intelligence, texture and subtlety of consciousness. Therefore, the astral planes are not at all the dreamy, fairylike, wishy-washy worlds often populated with the spaced-out beings that are described by so many popular authors and books on the subject.

Those who have written about their astral travels to these planes are often limited in their descriptions because the physical and astral brains operate on a different level and so much gets lost in the translation to physical memory that the subconscious mind and dream states get in the way. I do a little astral projection myself, but tend to forget most of it! In spite of all these difficulties, astral projection can still be a reliable and wondrous way to discover what the truth is regarding the afterlife.

The reason the astral and spiritual worlds are far more natural, free, superior, alive, and comprehensive than anyone or anything on Earth is that the reality of the afterlife consists of much finer atoms, particles, energies, higher dimensions, and intelligent laws and forces than all the heavier, more massive and awkward material atoms and laws of physics physical things are made from and subject to. Life on Earth is only a pale reflection of the life to come. Far from being the highest, the physical level is actually one of the crudest levels of existence there is. There are many, much higher and finer levels of existence or vibration (spheres) to ascend into, and endless numbers of places, things to do, discover and explore, and vast amounts of information on every subject available and an expansion of awareness and knowledge that goes way beyond materialistic, earthly concepts and understanding.

An Absolutely Natural, Complete and Profoundly Fulfilling Existence

These vast, and often inconceivable worlds are filled with absolute thrills and marvels many of which, especially on the higher planes are very hard to describe, in fact are too beautiful to describe. The planes or spheres of existence closest to Earth tend to be the easiest to describe in terms the average person can comprehend. But there is much activity and amazing civilizations on all spheres, on all levels. There are beautiful cities, towns, villages, art colonies, art galleries, movie theaters, stages, operas, museums, schools, stores (not commercial), libraries, vast natural landscapes, continents, forests, gardens, huge flowers, very tame loving animals, mountains, meadows, plains, seas, boats, ships, yachts, lakes, waterfalls, and anything and everything else really wonderful and good that one can imagine and not imagine. (God I wish I could go there, take some photos, come back and upload them to this website!)

Regarding what it is exactly like to live in the higher spheres: imagine all the above but with an extra dimension or dimensions added, with even more colors along with even higher and deeper levels of sensitivity, sophistication, beauty, love, opportunity, and levels of consciousness with the absolute beauties of nature multiplied hundreds and hundreds of times over evolving on to infinity. No mystic teaching or religion can or has correctly foretold the actual experiences we will all one day so intensely enjoy! God knows how much I have distorted it in my own feeble attempts to describe it. Trying to explain this form of existence is even harder than trying to talk about colors with a blind person, because there are so many new levels of experience that these souls are trying to convey that simply do not exist in the limited materialistic terms and concepts that we on Earth are stuck with. Many of the souls would never want to go back to live on Earth which is in comparison to heaven, a very limited, elementary, primitive state of life indeed.

The Colors Are Far More Vivid, Extensive and Varied

In the astral worlds the souls often marvel at all the new colors they can see! They say they can perceive and enjoy many new colors in nature that go far beyond the physical spectrum and some souls have counted as many as 77 colors. I am assuming that this phenomenon of advanced and extended color perception is due to a remarkable extension of visual sensitivity beyond violet into much higher frequencies of light such as UV, X-rays, and gamma rays and perhaps even into the lower wave-lengths beyond the red spectrum as well such as infrared and microwaves, etc. but I am even less sure of this, as I would suppose perception is much more likely extended only toward the higher end of the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the lower end, as souls often say they are much more aware of higher vibrations rather than lower ones.

Eating and Sleeping in the Afterlife

One man, Sid Hopkins, in a rather humorous account of the afterlife, said his first experience right after dying was finding himself comfortably sitting in a parlor of a lovely, familiar place being served with a cup of tea by his wife who had died 15 years ago, yet looked like she was in her early twenties. At least two other times in the seances, a certain individual was welcomed to his new life with either a beautiful young woman or one’s very lovely wife wearing a beautiful outfit serving tea! And in yet another seance it was a lovely woman serving a glass of lemonade from a freshly squeezed lemon! Yes, new arrivals to the spiritual life are often warmly welcomed with food and/or beverages by deceased relatives and/or friends looking many years younger and in a posh setting. One would often “live” on a light diet or fruit, soups and/or teas, etc. before realizing that eating and drinking is no longer really needed or necessary and is just a condition of mental habit however strong and real it may seem at first. Instead of possibly starving or feeling hungry, one should continue to eat a little at first anyway until one no longer feels the need. Many souls even after years of astral life still on social occasions like to eat and serve light snacks, beverages and fruit. I have not yet heard of heavier foods such as meat and/or fish being served, but if they could imagine it, I suppose they could.

There are periods of twilight and restfulness that souls enjoy but no actual night or darkness except in the lower spheres. Those who first enter the afterlife often go through a deep, rejuvenating sleep lasting for several days, depending on the need and development of the individual. After that deep rest, one never really sleeps again except after many, many years later in preparation to enter into yet a higher sphere at the end of their interests and activities in a lower sphere. They can and often do come back to the lower sphere(s) to teach and share spiritual truths.

Natural Realities Molded by Thought

There may very well be certain forms of trade and/or barter in the various conditions of life, cultures, etc. found on some of the lower spheres, but I have yet to hear of anything to do with the actual existence of money, accounting systems, or banking, etc. An economic system is not at all needed on the astral planes because one’s character, thoughts, karmic conditions, powerful innate creative abilities, and mental/emotional outlook seem to create and/or attract whatever is needed. One’s desires, level of intelligence, mental/emotional outlook, and heartfelt motives determine exactly what one does, experiences and gets to have in the way of companions, housing, land, personal items, and clothing (which often resembles Roman togas and/or Grecian robes, etc.) The astral worlds seem to be a dynamic mixture of completely real, natural, material, objective realities yet strongly influenced or molded by creative, positive thought forces or intentions. This is how everything natural in the way it was experienced on Earth is uniformly combined with the most perfect circumstances and joy and happiness possible. It is quite remarkable.

All souls ultimately evolve into ever more beautiful states of existence. The spirits often say it is a perfect world and they have never, ever been happier and to never fear dying because dying is absolutely the best thing that had ever happened to them! They are quite content and are often bewildered when told that there will always be even more beautiful, even lovelier, higher places or spheres they can evolve and move into.

Earthbound Souls, Suicide, and the Problem With Reincarnation

It is one’s state of evolution and consciousness that determines what sort of afterlife one finds one’s self in after the crossing from this world into the realms beyond it. One’s spiritual progress or development is largely dependent on the degree of one’s personal illumination, love, understanding and forgiveness. We will explore what happens to souls who are overly steeped in materialism, and to those that commit suicide. Also we will try to solve the problem of reincarnation.

Skeptical Debunkers and the Afterlife

One of the greatest sources of afterlife information ever was the British direct voice medium Leslie Flint (1911-1994). His seance sessions were well documented and recorded. During any seance, voices would resonate out of thin air around the medium. Throughout all the decades of his mediumship, no one could find any evidence of fraud or any sort of trickery. Leslie Flint was perhaps the most tested and verified medium who ever lived.

Connecting to the Reality of the Afterlife

There are so many individuals alive today still wondering whether there is life after death, and if there is, what sort of afterlife is it? How can one be sure of the information available today on such controversial subjects as this one? I have studied all aspects of this subject quite seriously and as a skeptic since 1972. Unfortunately there has been much misinformation on this subject floating around throughout history.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 2

Bashar’s teachings on the “law of attraction” and related subjects are the most powerful, clear and extraordinary I have ever encountered. His knowledge comes to us from his multidimensional viewpoint, which to him is quite obvious and free of the confusion which so often plagues us “three-dimensional” beings. Bashar is here to help guide this world out of the darkness of limiting beliefs into a reality of spiritual light, love, abundance and universal peace.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 3

Probable futures, parallel realities, time-travel, and the real reason for the abductions (temporary detainments) by “alien grays” are explained clearly by Bashar’s unprecedented insight and understanding on these subjects. The existence of Atlantis and how it ended is also confirmed by at least three entirely unrelated sources: Leslie Flint direct voice mediumship, a scientific article by Steven M. Stanley, and Bashar himself.

Life in the Finer Realms Beyond the Veil of Death – Part 3

We shall discuss the “physics” of the astral worlds which are as real and natural as Earth only at higher vibrations of reality. What really are the astral worlds made of? Does time and distance really exist in the afterlife? If so, what are they like in the afterlife? Why is it so difficult for souls to communicate with Earth? What sort of multidimensional properties exist in the afterlife that don’t exist on Earth?

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 1

Many UFO’s seen in our atmosphere are actually ships sent by advanced civilizations from higher spheres or worlds of vibration trying to initiate contact with our dimension. Bashar claims to be an extraterrestrial “hybrid” from an ethereal solar system 500 light years away and 300 years into the future. Bashar’s reality of UFO’s from higher spheres is confirmed and explained by some of the souls communicating through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint.

The principle message in monotheistic religions is to believe in one God and worship only Him!

In David’s Psalms we read about the eternal God, the one and only.The Pslams are prayers in the temples of God reciting acknowledgment, love, trust and worship. In the Torah ( the Law)the only thesis is that of belief in God. The first and foremost of the ten Commandments (Decalogue) is to believe and worship the one eternal God. Yahweh (YHWH) is the one true God, it is prohibited having other gods before Yahweh, and making or worshiping idols. It threatens punishment for those who reject him.

The Jahiliyah era (epoch of ignorance)before Islam: (Qur’anic View)

The Djahili era and the ‘ilm era according to the Islamic outlook is the division between two classifications of epochs, one before Islam and the second after Islam.
In this article we shall focus of the Djahili Epoch.
The Jahili era refers to the ‘epoch of ignorance’ in the Arabic language( from the verb: jahila. yajhalu, jahlan and jahalatan and the actor is called Jahil). For the Arabic pronunciation j must be preceded by d and thus Jahil ought to be pronounced as djahil (ignorant).

Islam: The divine message sent to Muhammad (Qur’anic View)

The divine message informing humans to believe in one, indivisible God, the eternal and only unique God, who is not begotten and begets none is a repeated message to mankind over time.
This divine message is terminated in the Qur’anic message revealed to Muhammad over twenty years between 610 and 632 Our Era.
Muhammad was an unlettered man, a Shepard looking after some sheep for the account of another person.
Muhammad received the visit of Archangel Gabriel in 610 while looking after the sheep.

Using The Mobius Ring To Understand God

Many spiritual concepts that have long been a part of sacred geometry are consummated in the Mobius ring. A Mobius strip can be created from cutting out an eleven (11″) inch long by one (1″) inch wide strip of paper from a standard (8.5″) by (11″) inch sheet. Twist one end one-half (1/2) a turn and then join the two ends together. What you end up with is a ring that has only one side.

Are Crop Circles Hoaxes Or Other-Worldy Phenomena?

Crop circles gripped the imagination, attention and interest of the world ever since the earliest circular formations discovered in the 1960’s. The scientific association, the media, and the New Age believers almost always showed some interest in the appearance of new crop formations. The M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs, which starred Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, and many other fictional works used crop formations as a main feature in their subject matter.

The Symbol of Personal Creation

Early in the morning of July 17, 1991 in Wiltshire County, Wessex, England, near the base of a Neolithic hill fort named Barbury Castle, a vast, tetrahedral design of around twelve thousand (12,000) square yards manifested in a wheat field. Mysterious lights could be seen along with the sound of massive and prolonged thunder that lasted far too long to be considered as originating from an ordinary electrical storm.

What is Enlightenment and How Do You Achieve It?

Ever since I had known about Paramhansa Yogananda, I have always longed to be “enlightened.” By “enlightenment” I do not mean in the usual intellectual sense, but as a state of “yoga” or union with one’s higher Self, which is very much in tune with the truth and with the manifested creation we all dwell in. The kind of enlightenment I am writing about is a permanent happiness and fulfillment above and beyond the trials and tribulations of worldly existence.

There is a Universal Law of Abundance – Part 2

Simply praying may not help much. Instead it may be more effective to meditate intensely for more than 15 minutes on the actual result of one’s intent which must be in tune with the good of all and never against anyone’s wishes. By understanding some of the timeless, mystical truths deeply embedded in the Lord’s Prayer, one can find great comfort, guidance and inner peace, knowing that God’s will for all is only happiness and prosperity.

There is a Universal Law of Abundance – Part 1

There is always within ourselves a wonderful essence of knowledge and joy that can be tapped into and enjoyed. Through regular meditation on pure love, and habitual thoughts of God’s wonderful qualities, one can live in wholeness. What one habitually thinks and feels often determines the sort of life one will experience. It is possible to improve one’s outlook on life and vibration rate through correct eating, forgiveness, knowing that we are Spirit, and loving God with deep devotion.

There is documented, startling evidence of how a meteor impact ended the existence of Atlantis. Toward the end of a YouTube recording, “Bashar: Accelerating ET Contact Workshop 24” given by Bashar, he explains how Atlantis was plagued by warring factions and finally destroyed nearly 13,000 years ago by an asteroid. Two completely different sources, a 2007 scientific article, and a 1962 Leslie Flint seance recording, confirm this information.

Life in the Finer Realms Beyond the Veil of Death – Part 2

]]>

Life in the astral spheres is far more varied and complete than life on Earth. Some spheres nearest the earth plane are so similar to Earth that much of what one can experience there resembles very much the same conditions as Earth, such as cloudy weather, rain, snow, wind, night and day. On the other hand, some spheres of existence have no resemblance to Earth whatsoever. Some of the highest spheres, for example, are realms of incredible multidimensional light and beauty far beyond anything physical beings are familiar with.

Climates and Geography of the Astral Spheres

There is also air, wind and on some spheres (the spirits say there are thousands of astral worlds or spheres) occasional light rain, dew, mist, and even a light snow in the upper elevations just as happens on Earth. The weather patterns of the astral worlds tend to be mild and never contrary to the needs of the inhabitants. The temperature ranges from mildly cool to comfortably warm depending on the original climate and conditions the inhabitants were most used to on Earth. There are all the same climates and natural conditions of life as found on Earth including deserts, mountain regions, polar regions, forest regions, tropical areas, ocean environments, and land masses ranging from vast continents to beautiful tropical islands.

Many of Leslie Flint’s communicators say they have seen rivers, and lakes with some being quite vast and always quite placid and beautiful in a constantly warm summery afternoon environment. It is possible to go swimming and many souls do. One can also travel by boat or ship, and go diving, etc. One can also drink these pure waters as there is no pollution, bugs or bacteria in the ponds, lakes and rivers to worry about, and no water, air or noise pollution either as there is no need for cars, freeways, sewers and factories. The water is crystalline pure and very desirable to drink. Strangely enough, the souls often say that they can enjoy all the benefits of swimming, bathing, etc. yet are completely dry (even their clothes) the instant they get out!

Imagine an ordinary physical world of three dimensions of space and a fourth of time. Then add a fifth dimension (an extra direction for time and space to expand into) to this picture and then you have a rough idea of what the environment is like in the afterlife. While traveling up through the vibrational spheres (actually takes some practice and experience to do this), the whole landscape can transform into an astonishing variety of geographies, for example, above the location where a vast plain existed, now there’s an alpine forest landscape and running fountains. Before it was misty, now it is cloudless, and billions of subtle colors from the extended atmosphere even further above would be prismatically refracted throughout the whole glorious sky. The astral atmosphere, being much vaster than the Earth’s atmosphere, would appear much deeper and, if there are clouds, would tend to have many more cloud layers.

Regarding the surface of the astral worlds: imagine countless interacting, interconnecting layers of an onion: some below the earth’s surface and many above with each one having a higher and higher rate of vibration and lighter composition than the ones beneath. This rough idea would constitute the spheres of the afterlife existence one encounters. If one could visualize a four-dimensional “earth” this would be very close to actuality. Such a four-dimensional sphere would have to have a three-dimensional “surface” that expands in size as one goes higher and higher up the scale of atomic vibration. Most matter in the universe (see “The True Nature of Dark Matter”) is in fact composed of these finer substances which astronomers throughout the world can see gravitational evidence of in various parts of the distant universe and are still trying to understand what “dark matter” really is. I think it is astral matter.

The Beauty of Astral Nature and Spiritual Utopia

Some trees grow very high and can often be in full bloom and/or produce much fruit. Flowers of all kinds, shapes and sizes exist in the astral worlds and grow in moist soils just like they do on Earth. Because they are living things and very much alive, they are not to be picked and can often grow taller than houses. In fact there are whole forests of very tall flowers growing as tall as trees creating magnificent perfumes that are wafted for miles and miles on mild astral breezes. Gardens and gardening is a very common thing among most of the souls, as most souls who have houses have and enjoy wonderful, lush gardens. Yes, nature is a very real, abundant and natural part of the astral worlds, especially the highest worlds where the beauty of nature becomes almost infinite. In fact the astral worlds are the actual origin of all natural existence, whereas the Earth is just a dim, almost artificial reflection of what nature intends to create and manifest. To think that the physical universe is the only universe is very chauvinistic. Not only are there other existences, but far superior ones as well!

The astral planes are teaming with all sorts of both extinct and presently living plants and animals from Earth. There are no pesky insects, pests or predators whatsoever. (It is possible, however that they do exist on some of the lowest planes or spheres.) The lion definitely sleeps with the lambs and all races, creeds and nationalities definitely live in perfect harmony and peace with one another just as portrayed in those “Jehova’s Witness” illustrations in their international magazines, “Awake!” and “Watchtower.” The funny thing is just how similar the ideal world that the Jehova’s Witness describe is to the actual descriptions by spirits. There are wonderful places or “belief system territories” in the astral worlds where even the “dead” “Jehova’s Witnesses” can hang out still waiting for that ideal new Earth to come even though there is a perfectly good world right in front of their noses completely surrounding them!

Communication With Animals and Singing in an Etheric Atmosphere

Spirits often say that if they tuned into it, there seems to be a soft, soothing, healing vibration or music in the atmosphere generated either by nature and/or creative souls who somehow recorded (left) their songs in the either. One can talk, sing, play instruments, and create sound just like on Earth, yet one can also communicate by thought and most souls quickly find that telepathy is the most efficient way to communicate especially if the other person speaks only Spanish, for instance and you only can speak English. Astonishing as this may sound, telepathic communication between animals and humans is quite easy and common on the astral levels. One spirit who came through Leslie Flint saying he had an amazing “conversation” with his deceased canine pet. Animals can also materialize in seances. During a David Thompson seance held at Mansfield, 10th October, 2007, a dog materialized and started barking!

Another amazing thing is that people who have never learned to read or write properly on Earth often do in the afterlife! There are so many libraries, colleges, schools, etc. on the astral planes to learn such things as well as many other subjects ranging from basic to far beyond the scope and imagination of materiality. Joy, inspiration, breathing and laughter always comes naturally and easily; one always feels light, full or energy, vitality, and one never grows old, ill or suffer from any pains. Breathing the air is a joy, “it is just like wine” says Mary Ivan (near top of list on left) toward the end of her seance. Often the air is filled with perfumes from countless flowers naturally growing in surrounding gardens, fields, etc.

Illumination (Sun?) of the Astral World

The sun still seems to have some kind of effect on the lower astral spheres where souls say there is still a night and a day, fog, rain, etc. On the lowest spheres there seems to be deep fog or darkness created by all the negative thoughts and fears of the materialistically minded physical inhabitants of Earth. However, on the mid to higher astral worlds there seems to be a constant “illumination” or source of very soothing, loving, healing light of a magical and mysterious nature emanating from “God” and/or the higher realms. Souls have reported seeing a mysterious, golden light with increasing brightness toward the horizon. I did hear from some of the Leslie Flint recordings, that there are periods of restfulness and twilight but no actual nights except on the lowest spheres where it can get completely dark. My speculation is that there are probably as many as seven main spheres or heavens (maybe extending hundreds of miles into space?) that are concentric with the earth and rotate along with the physical earth.

Much of the light enjoyed in the astral spheres probably emanates from the outer chromosphere of the sun as a series or layers of etherial “suns” expanding beyond, yet concentric with the physical sun and each one illuminating corresponding astral spheres at its own corresponding level of vibration. After the sun sets over the western horizon, much of its outer chromosphere and especially its extended magnetosphere remains above the horizon most of the night, especially toward the upper and lower latitudes, therefore creating an effect of twilight instead of the complete darkness experienced on Earth. However, the souls also say that the atmospheres of the higher astral spheres extend ever further into space as they increase in vibration, reflecting the sun’s rays back onto the planet no matter what time of the night it is with the effect being that of a long twilight during the night rather than complete darkness. The light or illumination in the higher spheres is quite awesome: something much more vibrant, and far more beautiful than anything experienced on Earth. Sri Yukteswar said in Chapter 43 “The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar” in Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda that there are numerous astral luminaries or “suns” that illuminate the astral worlds and endless numbers of astral solar systems floating in space. Astral matter tends to be self-luminescent anyway, especially toward the higher spheres where astral material tends to become brighter, lighter, richer, more colorful, dazzling, multi-dimensional, transparent and more enchanting. I would have to say, things go far beyond description at the highest and most dazzling levels which I would refer to as being the mental, causal and celestial spheres.

Living on Earth in comparison to the higher spheres is like living in a very backward and isolated country where technology has not yet reached its borders. There are other realities of existence far less limiting and challenging than Earth, which is probably one of the most difficult places ever to live. Souls often incarnate on Earth to face challenges they would not otherwise face on higher spheres. Learning that there are so many higher worlds of light and beauty beyond the material realm of Earth can at first be quite startling.

Earthbound Souls, Suicide, and the Problem With Reincarnation

It is one’s state of evolution and consciousness that determines what sort of afterlife one finds one’s self in after the crossing from this world into the realms beyond it. One’s spiritual progress or development is largely dependent on the degree of one’s personal illumination, love, understanding and forgiveness. We will explore what happens to souls who are overly steeped in materialism, and to those that commit suicide. Also we will try to solve the problem of reincarnation.

Skeptical Debunkers and the Afterlife

One of the greatest sources of afterlife information ever was the British direct voice medium Leslie Flint (1911-1994). His seance sessions were well documented and recorded. During any seance, voices would resonate out of thin air around the medium. Throughout all the decades of his mediumship, no one could find any evidence of fraud or any sort of trickery. Leslie Flint was perhaps the most tested and verified medium who ever lived.

Connecting to the Reality of the Afterlife

There are so many individuals alive today still wondering whether there is life after death, and if there is, what sort of afterlife is it? How can one be sure of the information available today on such controversial subjects as this one? I have studied all aspects of this subject quite seriously and as a skeptic since 1972. Unfortunately there has been much misinformation on this subject floating around throughout history.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 2

Bashar’s teachings on the “law of attraction” and related subjects are the most powerful, clear and extraordinary I have ever encountered. His knowledge comes to us from his multidimensional viewpoint, which to him is quite obvious and free of the confusion which so often plagues us “three-dimensional” beings. Bashar is here to help guide this world out of the darkness of limiting beliefs into a reality of spiritual light, love, abundance and universal peace.

Probable futures, parallel realities, time-travel, and the real reason for the abductions (temporary detainments) by “alien grays” are explained clearly by Bashar’s unprecedented insight and understanding on these subjects. The existence of Atlantis and how it ended is also confirmed by at least three entirely unrelated sources: Leslie Flint direct voice mediumship, a scientific article by Steven M. Stanley, and Bashar himself.

Life in the Finer Realms Beyond the Veil of Death – Part 1

Listening to actual recorded descriptions of “the undiscovered country” through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint is always incredible, thrilling, breathtaking, and astounding. When I first heard some of this material I could not contain my excitement, it was all I could talk about for weeks! It is so fantastic!

Life in the Finer Realms Beyond the Veil of Death – Part 3

We shall discuss the “physics” of the astral worlds which are as real and natural as Earth only at higher vibrations of reality. What really are the astral worlds made of? Does time and distance really exist in the afterlife? If so, what are they like in the afterlife? Why is it so difficult for souls to communicate with Earth? What sort of multidimensional properties exist in the afterlife that don’t exist on Earth?

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 1

Many UFO’s seen in our atmosphere are actually ships sent by advanced civilizations from higher spheres or worlds of vibration trying to initiate contact with our dimension. Bashar claims to be an extraterrestrial “hybrid” from an ethereal solar system 500 light years away and 300 years into the future. Bashar’s reality of UFO’s from higher spheres is confirmed and explained by some of the souls communicating through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint.

The Ghostly Hauntings of the City of Chester

As a fan of ghost stories and the supernatural I thought I would write about some of the more well known ghost stories from the city of Chester, England. There are stories of the George and Dungeon Pub in Chester being haunted by the spirits of Roman soldiers. A French restaurant occupying the Old Fire Station is also haunted by the spirit of an old fireman and many visitors claim to have seen it. Below is a list of other Hauntings:

Health, wealth or belief in God: which comes first?

If you have to choose between good health or bad health, you are bound to choose the first. This does not stop you to be stupid enough to choose the latter. If you have to choose between
being rich or being poor you will not be stupid enough to choose poverty. But, who is stupid enough to do the contrary, foraske this world and everything for belief in God only?

Your life is worth living for one thing: Believing in God!

We are obliged to be, in the form we are, in the shape we are, in the structure we are, in the color we are, in the features we are. No one is exempted from this model, this plan and this program, unless you are a god! But you are not and you will never be. You will be always an already programmed human being. You are already planned in every way you can imagine.
Life might be an illusion, a dream, a mystery: but it is worth one thing: Believing in your creator!

Do not take your choice between belief and disbelief in God lightly! It has terrible consequences!

We all have to live. We all are born. We all mature and be adults, with exceptions to the general rule. We all have to confront the universe. We all have to choose between belief and disbelief in God. We all have to die having made the choice.
Do not misuse your choice between belief and disbelief in God! You might regret it terribly!

Why do we have the choice between belief and disbelief in God?

No proof, no evidence, no index, no solid argument for the existence or non existence of God. All depends on your own personal convictions. You are forced to deliver the choice before your miserable death. You might make the choice during your life as many do. Many make the choice very early in their teen age.In this lies the freedom and dignity as well as the value of a human being.

Divine Scriptures are but only reminders of God and the Last Day

Religion is not a compulsion. The four divine messages namely the Psalms of David, the Torah (the Law), the Gospel and the Qur’an, all are reminders to mankind. They all have the same nature and form by admonishing humans to believe in God and believe in the last day, the Day of Judgment, and to do good and shun evil.

Our Galactic Family & the Bible

Is there evidence in the Bible of cooperative activity between Earth humans and our galactic family? Zacheria Sitchin’s “The 12th Planet” contains irrefutable pictorial archaeological evidence that extraterrestrials have interacted with Earth humans throughout our history. Ancient stone carvings depict both the galactic humans and their space ships.

Take a step back: Look into religious arguments: They might be more true than you think!

Before you decide to label religious arguments as dogma and mythology of the ancients, take one small step back and a little distance to be by yourself. Detach yourself from the influence of the society and the naïve Darwinian theory of evolution. Take a distance and be yourself for once and not the disciple of someone nor the idolizer of someone or something.
Behold before you disbelieve in God and doomsday: You might well be terribly mistaken!

Using The Mobius Ring To Understand God

Many spiritual concepts that have long been a part of sacred geometry are consummated in the Mobius ring. A Mobius strip can be created from cutting out an eleven (11″) inch long by one (1″) inch wide strip of paper from a standard (8.5″) by (11″) inch sheet. Twist one end one-half (1/2) a turn and then join the two ends together. What you end up with is a ring that has only one side.

Are Crop Circles Hoaxes Or Other-Worldy Phenomena?

Crop circles gripped the imagination, attention and interest of the world ever since the earliest circular formations discovered in the 1960’s. The scientific association, the media, and the New Age believers almost always showed some interest in the appearance of new crop formations. The M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs, which starred Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, and many other fictional works used crop formations as a main feature in their subject matter.

The Symbol of Personal Creation

Early in the morning of July 17, 1991 in Wiltshire County, Wessex, England, near the base of a Neolithic hill fort named Barbury Castle, a vast, tetrahedral design of around twelve thousand (12,000) square yards manifested in a wheat field. Mysterious lights could be seen along with the sound of massive and prolonged thunder that lasted far too long to be considered as originating from an ordinary electrical storm.

What is Enlightenment and How Do You Achieve It?

Ever since I had known about Paramhansa Yogananda, I have always longed to be “enlightened.” By “enlightenment” I do not mean in the usual intellectual sense, but as a state of “yoga” or union with one’s higher Self, which is very much in tune with the truth and with the manifested creation we all dwell in. The kind of enlightenment I am writing about is a permanent happiness and fulfillment above and beyond the trials and tribulations of worldly existence.

The Grand Conspiracy of Nature

Would one trade in his or her vitality for a temporary thrill? Would one lose one’s spirit over some frivolous romance that did not even last the night? Hopefully not, but most likely nearly everyone is doing something quite similar to the above on a regular basis. If one is really serious about finding wholeness, then one needs to beware of the conspiracy of nature!

There is a Universal Law of Abundance – Part 2

Simply praying may not help much. Instead it may be more effective to meditate intensely for more than 15 minutes on the actual result of one’s intent which must be in tune with the good of all and never against anyone’s wishes. By understanding some of the timeless, mystical truths deeply embedded in the Lord’s Prayer, one can find great comfort, guidance and inner peace, knowing that God’s will for all is only happiness and prosperity.

There is a Universal Law of Abundance – Part 1

There is always within ourselves a wonderful essence of knowledge and joy that can be tapped into and enjoyed. Through regular meditation on pure love, and habitual thoughts of God’s wonderful qualities, one can live in wholeness. What one habitually thinks and feels often determines the sort of life one will experience. It is possible to improve one’s outlook on life and vibration rate through correct eating, forgiveness, knowing that we are Spirit, and loving God with deep devotion.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar – Part 4

There is documented, startling evidence of how a meteor impact ended the existence of Atlantis. Toward the end of a YouTube recording, “Bashar: Accelerating ET Contact Workshop 24” given by Bashar, he explains how Atlantis was plagued by warring factions and finally destroyed nearly 13,000 years ago by an asteroid. Two completely different sources, a 2007 scientific article, and a 1962 Leslie Flint seance recording, confirm this information.

Beyond The Twilight Vampires

Beyond The Twilight Vampires

Opinions vary greatly on the phenomenon known as The Twilight Saga. In sharing mine, I will dwell specifically on the books. As for the Twilight movies, let’s just agree that they are an “attempt” to bring Stephenie Meyer’s visions to life. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they are what they are. If ticket sales are any indication, they seem to have mass appeal, vampire purists notwithstanding.

As for me, I enjoyed the first two movies and look forward to the next two. But, I enjoyed them for what I expected them to be. Third-party interpretations, compressed into abbreviated Hollywood productions, subtle and poignant details sometimes sidestepped for the sake of box office glory. Mission accomplished.

Having never heard of Twilight or having seen the movie when I picked up the book, I entered the Forks world with an open mind and no preconceived notions. I simply thought I was about to read yet another vampire story – complete with fangs, blood and a new author’s twist on some of the legendary aspects we’ve come to expect.

What I got, less than four chapters in, was a tongue-in-cheek surprise. Instead of my anticipated tale of dark creatures preying on our fears, I found myself knee-deep in some kind of teenage, social misfit story told in the first person. A female teenager. I considered setting the book aside more than once. Not my usual fare.

Fortunately, my curiosity kept me reading. Like millions of others around the globe, I was sucked into the high school drama of Bella Swan, a clumsy outcast finding her first love in the form of the one guy no one else could acquire. Edward Cullen was the beautiful boy-idol the girls found irresistibly different and secretly desirable. His unobtainable status and initial revulsion of Bella’s presence was enough to keep me reading. Like everyone else, I wanted to know why.

Twilight has been publicly mislabeled as a vampire story. In reality, it’s a love story. The simple girl with typical doubts and insecurities who meets what seems to be the ultimate, but unreachable object of her uncertain affections. Stephenie Meyer uses this romantic platform to launch a broad tale that includes suspense and fantasy as a backdrop for Bella’s impossible infatuation.

As a result, you find yourself enjoying a well-plotted relationship story that just happens to involve vampires. Meyer’s tale is so simple, yet compelling, that I found myself ordering the next three volumes before I had completed the first.

Bella Swan is the every-girl damsel in situations beyond her control, struggling to deal with her discovery of Edward Cullen and his family – and what they are. Torn between natural fears of the common dangers vampires represent and the overwhelming allure created by the mere presence of Edward, Bella embraces the attraction of an endless love. Who can blame her? A dangerous life with the perfect boy or the dreary existence of a teenage nobody.

Vampire purists have openly detracted the Stephenie Meyer versions of the fanged creatures. In fact, the Twilight vampires don’t even have fangs. Fangs are never mentioned. Only venom coated teeth. And while Meyer goes on to offer other unexpected twists on traditional vampire lore, the core attractions are still there. The romanticism of immortality. The mental powers and superhuman qualities that make vampires so magnetic to mere humans. To those who claim she has tarnished the genre, get real. Vampires are the product of fantasy and folklore. It is the artist’s right to be creative and imaginative.

To that end, Stephenie Meyer succeeded, giving us a heart-wrenching love story and unforgettable characters. Twilight deserves its iconic status in pop culture.

Looking beyond the Twilight Saga vampires, Twilight is just a good story. No abrasive language, sex, drugs or adult situations. Fun for anyone who wants to sink their teeth into tale of forbidden love with life and death consequences.
