Amen. First let me stress that it was not a christian spiritualist church that we went to, it was a spiritualist church, so I really had to wonder why it was necessary not ...

So.....I copied, pasted and printed z's first piece on Austen's description about transcribing for Silver Birch. What an enjoyable and uplifting read once I had the paper in my hand!

But we speak English and mostly see the situations in either the UK or in Australia. Our experience (my experience at least) and exposure is, therefore, highly parochial. But what of the remainder of the world? Does the message of survival - as we know it through Spiritualism or whatever - circulate elsewhere? If so, what is the view there on the above matters one wonders? Are there mediums ...

It is amusing that she attempts to deny this well recorded event in the final paragraph of her diatribe. As you may expect her attack stems predominantly from one of his books where he comments she is not a medium by any means.

It matters not how humble you are, nor does it gain you any preference if you are what the world calls powerful.

The truth is the first thing we have, that life continues beyond that which we call death. This truth is proven by the messages received from our loved ones in spirit and passed to us by Mediums. This is what mediumship is, it is about giving evidence, information, love and hope from those living now in the spirit realms. It is a simple truth and it was this direct communication that ...

The question of what happens after death has always fascinated man. Many theories have been developed through religion and philosophy, some of which are discussed below together with my own ideas on the subject.
