- Professors Richard Wiseman and Chris French are constantly
appearing on television programmes putting forward the scientific case
for oblivion, that the mind and brain are the same. So far no qualified
scientists have been allowed to challenge this theory in the United Kingdom
before millions of people.
-
- Hardly anybody knows that there is another school of
scientific thought that is diametrically opposed to the parapsychologists'
arguments that death is the end of everything1. Until quite recently it
was against the Broadcasting Act to talk about survival after death in
a serious scientific manner in Great Britain. Following many complaints
the Chairman of the Radio Authority2, Lord Chalfont and his committee,
have now removed these restrictive clauses and at last the scientific case
for survival after death - against oblivion - is being presented on radio
stations throughout the country.
-
- On 24th December 2003 BBC Radio 4 featured a factual
report of experiments that were carried out with a materialisation medium
called Minnie Harrison3. It was repeated on New Year's Day. What was unusual
about this programme that gave convincing evidence that we all survive
the death of our physical bodies, and that the invisible part of the universe
is teeming with life, is that we were spared the usual hatchet job from
parapsychologists masquerading as experts on the subject. Instead the psychologist
who was invited to comment on the programme was Professor David Fontana,
a former President of the Society for Psychical Research. A scientist with
a good track record of balancing the arguments of "experts" that
until now have monopolised media and educational outlets whenever the subject
of survival after death cropped up.
-
- Paradoxically, now that we are allowed a balance on radio
programmes this does not apply to television programmes in the UK. Following
the phenomenal success of the Living TV channel, featuring mediums giving
hope and comfort to bereaved people, the Independent Television Commission
(ITC) has recently strengthened its guidelines regarding what information
the public are allowed to receive. A scientific balance is only allowed
on radio programmes in the UK when the subject of survival after death
is discussed, not on television programmes!
-
- The Experimental Proof of Survival After Death
-
- For over 100 years we have had the experimental scientific
proof that we all survive the death of our physical bodies, that the living
mind separates from the dead brain. Refer to the repeatable experiments
under laboratory conditions that were carried out by Sir William Crookes3,
holder of The Order of Merit and President of the Royal Society. His results
were published in 'The Quarterly Journal of Science' in 1874. These experiments
proving survival were subsequently repeated by international teams of scientists
- The Nobel Laureate for Medical Science, Professor Charles Richet4 (French
team), Professor Schrenck Notzing5 (German team), Dr. Glen Hamilton6 (Canadian
team) and Dr. W.J. Crawford7 (Irish team). There are two reasons why this
revolutionary discovery in physics failed to have the impact that it should
have done.
-
- 1 These experiments lacked the mathematical theory to
back up what was being observed. The Nobel Laureate for physics, Professor
Richard Feynman8, makes it clear how important this is:
-
- "If your mathematical theories do not match the
experiment, then they are wrong."
-
- 2 The "dead" person Katie King, who materialised
from the etheric world, had died so long ago that Sir William Crookes was
unable to get living friends and relations to take part in his repeatable
experiments.
-
- Thanks to recent exciting discoveries in subatomic physics,
the study of the invisible part of the universe, and the published work
of Ronald Pearson9, we now have the missing mathematical theory that matches
the pioneering experiments. The reports of Jesus physically appearing in
front of his disciples after he was killed are no longer to be considered
as supernatural - above or beyond the laws of nature. At last we now know
exactly where the so-called next world is. It is all around us, the life
force that drives our physical bodies carries on operating on another wavelength
at what we call death. This part of the universe that is normally out of
range of our five physical senses. It never crossed the mind of Sir William
Crookes10 that he was witnessing anything other than natural and normal
forces. This is because he was the pioneer of subatomic physics. For confirmation
of this statement look up x-rays in the encyclopaedia and on the Internet.
-
- Contemporary Experiments
-
-
- Following contemporary experiments with materialisation
mediums we have been able to provide what was missing from Sir William
Crookes's experiments. Recently deceased people have been physically reunited
with friends and relations who are still on Earth. Ever since the death
of the materialisation medium Helen Duncan11 in 1956 following a police
raid, every scientist reading the subject of survival after death as a
branch of physics has been eagerly waiting for another first class medium
like her to come on the scene. This is because it's now essential to repeat
the pioneering experiments using the sophisticated recording equipment
that we now have available to us.
-
- Unfortunately hardly any scientific work was carried
out with Helen Duncan. However, we do have the report that was submitted
by a team of magicians headed by William Goldston, the founder of the Magician's
Club. They were astounded when their "dead" magician friend,
The Great Lafayette, materialised and spoke to them. Goldston sent a report
to Psychic News confirming that Helen Duncan's mediumship was absolutely
genuine and that no magician could possibly duplicate the phenomena that
he and his fellow magicians had witnessed.
-
- Andrew Collins in his book 'The Circlemakers' (ABC Books
1992) tells the story of how in 1982 the journalist Alan Cleaver carried
out the scientific exercise of getting Helen Duncan's daughter, Gena Brealey,
to witness an experiment that was being carried out with a materialisation
medium from the Midlands. The "dead" Scottish medium was materialising
on a regular basis. There is no way a daughter could be taken in by an
impostor impersonating her mother. Gena came away from this meeting fully
convinced that the medium was not a fraud and that she had indeed been
talking to her "dead" mother for an hour. A complete account
of this meeting between "dead" mother and daughter is given in
Issue 3 of 'Anomaly' the journal of the Association of the Scientific Study
of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) in March 1987. It's also on the website
of The Campaign for Philosophical Freedom:

-
-
- A great deal more important preliminary scientific work
has been carried out with this contemporary materialisation medium. Researchers
were first alerted to the fact that another fully developed physical medium
was operating in England following a front page report in Psychic News
on 26 February 1983. This was written by Alan E. Crossley, arguably the
world's foremost expert on this type of mediumship, friend and biographer
of Helen Duncan.
-
- Parents Reunited With Their "Dead" Children
-
-
- By the time I witnessed the mediumship of Rita Goold12
in March and April 1983 more experiments had been carried out reuniting
families with their "dead" loved ones. All these experiments
took place in the house of Barry and Pat Jeffery. They have been physically
reunited with their "dead" 16 year old son in the course of hundreds
of repeatable experiments. Michael Jeffery died in a motorcycle accident.
-
- The same thing has happened to Gwen and Alf Byrne. They
have been physically reunited with their "dead" son Russell on
scores of occasions. He had died of cancer at the age of nine, 20 years
before he first appeared at this experiment. Gwen tells her wonderful story
in her book "Russell"13 which is giving great hope and comfort
to grieving parents all over the world.
-
- In 1983 Professor Archie Roy14 and other members of the
Society for Psychical Research made a determined effort to capture on film
all these experiments in order to share this proof of survival after death
with as many people as possible. Sadly these researchers were thwarted
by the medium withdrawing her services just as the team were about to go
in with the infra-red cameras.
-
- The medium Rita Goold was on the receiving end of frightening
anonymous telephone threats warning her of dire consequences if she went
ahead with the scientific experiments. Vicious lies were also being spread
to discredit and blacken her character. Rita was deeply hurt because she
had dedicated her gift to bringing enlightenment to humanity. She had flatly
refused to take one penny for the incredible inconvenience that she was
subjected to. In fact she and her hosts, Barry and Pat Jeffery, were out
of pocket every time a demonstration took place, all the visitors were
fed. Everything now rests on another fully developed materialisation medium
coming forward and letting scientists of the calibre of Professor Archie
Roy complete their experiments.
-
- Subatomic Physics, the study of the invisible part of
the universe
-
-
- We now know that what has been known as psychic phenomena
and the religion of Spiritualism is in fact a branch of physics that should
be called "subatomic phenomena". The first principal of Birmingham
University, Sir Oliver Lodge15, said to the outstanding medium Bertha Harris,
"Cut out the Spiritualist jargon." He then published his paper
'The Mode of Future Existence' linking the subject of survival after death
with subatomic physics in The Queen's Hospital Annual in 1933 (Birmingham).

-
- We are all going to die and we have all lost loved ones,
therefore everybody in the world is entitled to have access to this secular
scientific case for survival, to accept or reject as the case may be. Let's
hope in the future all television producers will feature qualified scientists
like doctors Sam Parnia and Peter Fenwick or professors Archie Roy, David
Fontana and Peter Wadhams16who have started from the base that the mind
and brain are separate. Surely a balance on all media and educational outlets
is not too much to ask whenever there is a programme about survival after
death? This will fall in line with Article 19 of The United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights:
-
- "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and
expression: this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference,
and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media,
and regardless of frontiers."
