SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT FOR EVIDENCE BASED MEDIUMSHIP, LIFE AFTER PHYSICAL DEATH AND AFTER DEATH COMMUNICATION Updated: This list of links has been
reviewed (each site read carefully) and selected because in some way it helps
to provide scientific support for the existence of religious beliefs
concerning resurrection, eternal life and the existence of spirit, as well as
help support scientifically all genuine evidence-based mediumship and the
concept of life after physical death and after death communication. There are primarily two broad
sectors which of necessity must converge to provide this scientific support:
The Physical Sciences which includes mainly physics and its branches and the
Social Sciences which mainly involves psychology and the study of
consciousness. The so-called more
tangible sciences such as biology and chemistry deal primarily with the here and now so that this
field falls outside their purview and one cannot always expect them to
provide any support for the concept of life after physical death. The objective of this listing is to place in one cohesive place all the literature and scientific work that has taken place. No claims are made with respect
to these findings. Readers can use this material to make up their own minds
or draw their own conclusions. Some of this work is hotly debated and others
are contested by colleagues or skeptics, both of the closed and open minded
type. Of the two types of behavioral thought, open mindedness is more in line
with the spirit of true scientific inquiry. Close mindedness has been
associated throughout history with denial of many important advances that
were made in spite of this kind of objection. Some advances may’ve been
successfully stymied by close minded objection but it is often impossible to say what they are or
what they would’ve been. This site covers materials only
related to the scientific support for evidence based mediumship, life after
death or eternal life, and the ability to communicate with the consciousness
of those who have crossed over from a physical to a so-called spiritual
existence. It does not presuppose
the validity of any other kind of so-called “psi” experiences
although these may be related to this phenomena. Out of necessity evidence derived
from physics, astrophysics, quantum physics and related fields which support
the notion of parallel universes or dimensions are therefore included as
these provide the basis for locality of energy embodying the consciousness of
those who have died in this physical universe or dimension. This site is strictly non-commercial. There are no hidden agendas, no books, classes, services, equipment or workshops to sell, and no request for funding of any kind. However, some of these links may contain that kind of material. This site has no participation in these. There are no back links or commission programs; this site maintain its editorial integrity and summarily rejects all offers for advertising or pay per clicks. We do not retain the e-mail addresses of visitors andprovide this information to any third party. However, no one can control what is done with this information once you link onto ongoing sites. Updated versions of this list
will be sent to prior recipients or requestors unless notified that it is not
wanted. Omitting any links or websites may’ve been due to the fact that we were either unaware of them or because they did not fit the precise criteria of what is included here. Please e-mail us if you have a site which you feel fits here. The organizers of this site reject the notion of supernatural (this is natural), parapsychology (this is psychology) and paranormal (this is normal). We do not deny the fact that organized mainstream and many non-mainstream faiths have recognized and supported resurrection and eternal life for millennia but we believe the organizers of these religions were tapping into the physical and psychological phenomena that are now being defined in secular terms. We urge religionists of any faith to continue in their beliefs but perhaps to do so with the knowledge that there may be both religious as well as secular or scientific reasons for their beliefs. Skeptics of any ilk are urged to continue to unmask and police fraudulent mediums and practitioners of so-called supernatural or paranormal phenomena but to recognize that the existence of charlatans, fakers and fraudulent practitioners does not provide sufficient cause for the a priori rejection of all phenomena associated with this field. We also urge open minded individuals to continue to play devil’s advocate (no pun intended) and to debate, contest or question this kind of information so that it can either be made stronger and more defensible or be dismissed on scientifically valid grounds.

Reports – April 2000 and April 2001
Here are two reports from BBC Science News Service. The first one contains information reporting that scientists studying telescopic pictures have definitely concluded the universe is flat, not curved. The second one, built somewhat on this finding, posits the existence of parallel universes and dimensions. Some scientists working on this area and its relation to the survival of the consciousness are not so sure this supports this. However, looking at this as an over-simplification may be necessary. If the universe is expanding, and if there are 11 dimensions rather than the three we know here plus time (4th), then at the very least this provides the locality so fervently reported to us by mediums where their spirit communicators reside. Anyway read the reports and file the information for further consideration.

Cosmic Superstring Theory Some physicists working in
quantum physics have tried to tie the superstring theory to some of this
phenomena. Some of this is way beyond us, but the simulated illustrations
have reminded a number of mediums and others of “visions” they
have had. They never saw these pictures before, and only had the recall after
they were shown to them. You decide for yourself how
this can be related. Click on: http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/cs_evol.html Here’s more on String

Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and Instrumental
Transcommunication There is a worldwide body
of researchers who are working on the problem of establishing electronic
communication with
“spirits” trans-dimensionally. This work has been inspired by early findings
of this nature that are related. We have chosen a number of the most
interesting of these sites. This field can be further explored by connecting
with onward links. There are also sound files on some of these sites which

REMOTE VIEWING, NEAR DEATH AND OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES (RV, NDEs and OBEs)
The scientific
investigation of NDEs and OBEs may provide further support for the
existence of life after death and after-life communication. Although many of
the websites on the internet are experiential in nature, we have reviewed a
few comprehensive sites that help in understanding these phenomena.
