My View
The Evidence for the Afterlife
I’ve spent over 20 years exploring NDEs (Near Death Experiences), OBEs (Out of Body Experiences), SDEs (Shared Death Experiences) and the Afterlife. I can’t say exactly why this has become such a passion except for the fact that as I moved into my golden retirement years it has become something I must do! At this point I have read or become acquainted with hundreds of books and videos on these topics.
​
In the beginning I was interested in NDEs that are the subjective experience of individuals who may have died in an accident or on the operating table and then came back to tell about it. With all of our modern medical technology these types of experiences have become much more common. While NDEs are interesting they don’t really give us an accurate perspective on the actual Afterlife!
​
While history has always provided us with some glimpses into the Afterlife it hasn’t really become a serious focus of study until approximately the mid-1800s when a some young girls called the Fox sisters, living in Western New York State started having an awareness of someone who they discovered was ‘dead’ but making himself known in their home. The eventual publicity created by this phenomenon started a frenzy among thousands of individuals, many of whom became known as Spiritualists, whose main objective was to try to contact the “dead” through mediumship.
​
Following the 1850s, there was a virtual explosion of interest in the paranormal in all strata of society. In 1882 the SPR (Society for Psychical Research) was founded in Cambridge, MA for the purpose of scientifically studying this paranormal phenomena as well as proving the existence of life after death.
​
At the turn of the last century and especially around the time of the First World War, a great deal of interesting literature was written by or about mediums who were thought to be communicating with dead relatives, especially soldiers. Back then, when someone died they were not often revived and therefor there were very few NDEs. And even if they had one, they thought the person was just delirious.
A Lawyer Presents the Case for the Afterlife
Most people who show an interest in this field are initially interested in evidence. If this describes you, then you may do well to explore the extensive archives and books of a rather spirited lawyer from Australia, Victor Zammit, who invested a considerable amount of years researching the field at a much greater depth than I ever could. As an open-minded investigator, he set out with his wife, Wendy to investigate the existing evidence for survival after death and to test claims whether or not communication with dead people is possible. He states, “Like all people we began to wonder what happens when we die. We did not believe in religion or in superstition or in wishful thinking. We wanted to find out for ourselves whether there is scientific evidence for the afterlife, and if there is an afterlife, what it is like.”
​
Mr. Zammit spent more than twenty years investigating and traveling all over the world. He talked to many people who had years of firsthand experience. He read many thousands of rare books and scientific reports that were then hidden away in libraries. And he and his wife developed their own psychic abilities.
​
He also says that they had “the amazing good fortune of being able to talk directly to people who had died many years ago who came back in fully materialized form. These included our loved ones – my sister and my wife’s father. We were able to hear and record their voices, touch them, and shake their hands. We were able to talk to them about things that had happened while they were alive.” This phenomena is known as “materialization” and is considered the most difficult for a medium to produce.
