- 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 sends a

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."
