As my first step in examining the career of direct-voice medium Leslie Flint, I ordered an out-of-print title called Life After Death, by Neville Randall, originally published in 1975. The book is based exclusively on tape recordings of over 500 conversations carried out by George Woods and Betty Greene in séances with Flint. Woods and Greene…

In a recent comments thread, Ray G. suggested I check out the Brazilian film Astral City: A Spiritual Journey (Brazilian title: Nosso Lar, meaning Our Home). I’d heard of the movie, which boasted an unusually large budget for a Brazilian project ($12 million, according to IMDB.com) and went on to become one of the…

Here's some more interesting stuff from Seth Speaks, by Jane Roberts. All of these excerpts are from Chapter 10. Seth on our physical reality: It is as if your present situation and all its physical phenomena were projected from within yourself outward, giving you a continuous running a motion picture, forcing you to perceive only…

Here are some thoughts on Chapter 9 of Seth Speaks, by Jane Roberts. The book was originally published in 1972, three years before Raymond Moody's groundbreaking Life After Life popularized near-death experiences. Nevertheless, much of what Seth says about the death experience seems to dovetail with Moody's data on NDEs. It also fits in well…

Here's more Seth stuff, and its possible interpretation in terms of some of the notions I've advanced in earlier posts. But before I get into that, I want to clarify what I'm doing when I play around with ideas like these. It's not that I think I can come up with The Answer, the absolute…

Update, June 25: I mistakenly attributed quotes from Testimony of Light to a different book by a different author. The error is corrected now. Thanks to Robert McLuhan for noticing the mistake. — I've often commented on the biggest inconsistency in ostensibly channeled communications about the afterlife — the question of whether or not spirits…

Currently I'm reading a 1969 book by Jane Sherwood, titled The Country Beyond: The Doctrine of Re-Birth, which I saw mentioned in a recent post on Robert McLuhan's excellent blog Paranormalia. (McLuhan, by the way, is the author of the outstanding book Randi's Prize, reviewed here.) The Country Beyond consists of Sherwood's automatic writings, which…

Recently I received a free copy of a new small-press book about the afterlife, which arrived charmingly gift-wrapped — sort of an early Christmas present. I don't know the principal author, but he has a blog on this subject which contains a lot of interesting posts. I guess he came across my blog and thought…

Lately I've been preoccupied by current events (the bailout, the election), but this Daily Grail post is worth commenting on. Are stars sentient? That Solaris-like idea isn't just science fiction speculation – it's one of the topics touched on in an upcoming book edited by David Skrbina, [titled] Mind That Abides: Panpsychism in the New…

Here’s some interesting material from Arthur Conan Doyle’s History of Spiritualism, Vol. II. All the excerpts are taken from Chapter 10, "The Religious Aspect of Spiritualism." I have added a few pertinent links and omitted a couple of minor digressions (marked with ellipses). Everything that follows is from Doyle’s book. —- [Start of excerpts] It…
