- 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:
-
- http://www.cfpf.org.uk
-
-
- 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). This article can be read on the
website www.cfpf.org.uk and is sent free of charge to every person who

Road, Downend, Bristol BS16 6AH.
-
- 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."
