Now Available: New Book Explores, In Part, How Justice Always Prevails
Nov 22As you read this chapter, you may wonder how this information applies to the Casey Anthony case. Bear with me while I describe academic research and my own experience through which I will bring together all this seemingly unrelated material and give us a different and new hope for justice for Caylee, and countless other abused children. As a researcher and author of near-death studies for more than 35 years, and as a person who had my own near-death experience (NDE), I have been engaged in a powerful Life Review that has percolated for decades. This is my first opportunity, and maybe even the first time in the literature that someone is applying the consequences of a Life Review to a murder case to show how justice can prevail in the end...

The Near-Death Of A Child
Nov 15In March of 1990, while vacationing in Florida, our family was involved in a serious car accident: a head-on collision with a drunk driver. After the impact, my husband was pinned inside the wreckage and writhing in pain beside me. As I turned and looked into the back of the car, I could see Rose Marie was not seriously hurt. But, to my horror, Kayla was no where to be seen. Her side of the car had been obliterated by the crash. I thought at first that she might be tangled within the wreckage, but seconds later discovered she had been thrown out of the seat and into the hatchback of the car. A bystander hurried to our aid, wrapped Rose Marie in a jacket, and carried her to a bench some yards from the car so that I could attend to Kayla. Kayla's eyes were closed, her face was an ashen white, and her body was still and motionless. I was sure she had died. To spare my husband from this knowledge, I gathered Kayla's limp body in my arms, lifted her out of the car, and stepped a short distance away. The moments that followed are forever imprinted on my memory...
Joseph Shore: My NDE & Meeting Jesus
Nov 15He said, "JOE, JOE...." I immediately popped out of the body and hovered about two feet above my sleeping body. Into this London Hotel room came the most amazing Being I have ever been in the presence of. This was a man made all out of white and golden Light. He was shaped as a man, but white and gold Light pulsated from Him in dashes, as thought he were wearing a million Christmas Tree Lights. A soon as I saw Him, I knew many things about Him. I knew this was Jesus. I knew that he knew everything about me and was all powerful. There is no way to describe the Power that emanated from this Man of Light. Three angels appeared with Him and stayed in the back of the room. They were oval shaped beings and clearly under subjection to the Man of Light. He spoke to me sharply. His Love was not sentimental. It was strong and objective. He said...

A Sister’s Eulogy For Steve Jobs
Oct 30I grew up as an only child, with a single mother. Because we were poor and because I knew my father had emigrated from Syria, I imagined he looked like Omar Sharif. I hoped he would be rich and kind and would come into our lives (and our not yet furnished apartment) and help us. Later, after I’d met my father, I tried to believe he’d changed his number and left no forwarding address because he was an idealistic revolutionary, plotting a new world for the Arab people. Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother...

NDE: PMH Atwater Launches New Website

Her last book on this subject, which gives her summation, is Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of The Story.

Carl Jung’s Near-Death Experience
Aug 21In a hospital in Switzerland in 1944, the world-renowned psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, had a heart attack and then a near-death experience. His vivid encounter with the light, plus the intensely meaningful insights led Jung to conclude that his experience came from something real and eternal. Jung's experience is unique in that he saw the Earth from a vantage point of about a thousand miles above it. His incredibly accurate view of the Earth from outer space was described about two decades before astronauts in space first described it. Subsequently, as he reflected on life after death, Jung recalled the meditating Hindu from his near-death experience and read it as a parable of the archetypal Higher Self, the God-image within. Carl Jung, who founded analytical psychology, centered on the archetypes of the collective unconscious. The following is an excerpt from his autobiography entitled Memories, Dreams, Reflections describing his near-death experience...

Dr. Morse has this to say about Krystal, one of the children that appeared on the program: "The fact that Krystal recognized me when I saw her in follow up several weeks after she recovered is the main reason I became interested in near death experiences in the first place. I had never heard of near death experiences, and I believed, at the time, that when you are dead, you are dead. I walked into the exam room to see Krystal and she looked at me and said to her mother 'that's the man who put a tube in my nose'. She proceeded to repeat comments the nurses made."

NDE: Barbara Whitfield (From A 1996 Documentary)
Mar 24Barbara Harris Whitfield shares the story of her two near-death experiences. According to Barbara, this interview was done for Entertainment Tonight 20 years ago. Barbara's two near-death experiences happened in a hospital a week apart. Barbara had been an atheist until her experiences and became a theist afterward. In her first NDE, after leaving her body she went to a dark place and met her deceased grandmother. During the second experience, she had a peculiar and insightful life review, seeing scenes of her life in bubbles. She could experience the feelings of all the people she had interacted with. This led to her knowing of the interconnectedness of all people: "We can feel, then, how everything we've ever done or said affected others. The sense is that we don't end at our skin. It is an illusion that we are separate. This deep review of our life shows us that at a higher level of consciousness we are all connected."
Another Boy ‘Who Came Back From Heaven’
Mar 22Website, book, DVD: In 2004, Kevin Malarkey and his six-year-old son, Alex, suffered a horrific car accident. The impact from the crash paralyzed Alex -- and medically speaking, it was unlikely that he could survive. “I think that Alex has gone to be with Jesus,” a friend told the stricken dad. But two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the unearthly music that sounded just terrible to a six-year-old. Of the angels who took him through the gates of Heaven itself. And, most amazing of all…of meeting and talking to Jesus. The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven is the true story of an ordinary boy’s most extraordinary journey. As you see Heaven and earth through Alex’s eyes, you’ll come away with new insights on miracles, life beyond this world, and the power of a father’s love...
NDE: Nurse Investigates Near-Death Experiences
Mar 14We have all heard stories of patients lying apparently lifeless on a hospital bed while doctors work frantically to resuscitate them. When they come round they talk about seeing a white light at the end of a long tunnel. They may often report talking to loved ones. While sceptics may dismiss these visions as little more than the effect of anaesthesia, these tales are accounts of classic near-death experiences (NDEs). After more than 21 years as a nurse, the last 17 of those in intensive care, I’ve heard countless similar stories. I became so fascinated with NDEs I decided to undertake my own study at the Morriston Hospital in Swansea where I work. I began documenting NDEs and my research is the largest of its kind in the UK...

Colton’s father, Todd, has turned the boy’s experience into a 163-page book, “Heaven Is for Real,” which has become a sleeper paperback hit of the winter, dominating best-seller lists and selling hundreds of thousands of copies...
