Anyone watching this on Netflix? I have found the physical medium stuff cool since all the ones I've meet are mental mediums. I have yet to meet a trance medium too.

No but I will! I've actually been researching "I Survived Beyond and Back"....it's a great documentary, tons of testimonials and correlating medical facts and doctor eyewitnesses supporting OBE's (NDE's). Thanks, I'll check it out. People would be surprised how much evidence there is that supports the soul existing independent of the physical body. It's not just proposed by countless religious sources but reinforced by many examples of correlating evidence.

I have been attendancing a Spiritualist church. They consider Spiritualism to be a science. That is why there are so many records from the beginning of the faith.

I've been trying to get people to see that spirituality is a science for over a decade. Spirituality is based upon observation not wishful thinking, there is a science involved only it's of a different nature. There's an objective reality that exists transcendent of the immediate physical sense perception, one that has a vast experience of variation.

That is why there are so many records from the beginning of the faith.

That's an understatement lol. It's true though, all the records are there for our personal access whenever we are ready to accept it.

Well it's all part of the reality that spiritism is a fact and obvious reality of creation, it goes with the territory. Spiritism spreads into just about every faction of religious sources, and even non-religious sources like NDE's and endless examples of correlating evidence that supports it.

And I keep trying to tell you that you create your own spirituality inside your brain....Which in terms of science, is understanding  human physiological function and processes in relation to excitement/stimulation.

There isn't really anything out there going Woooooooooo..........It's you creating Wooooooooo inside your brain.....Either because you want to, or because you are predisposed to.

And surviving death is a contradiction in terms.....One either dies or one survives.

Though resuscitation is a possibility within a certain timeframe and under certain conditions.

Spiritualists often set March 31, 1848, as the beginning of their movement. On that date, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville,  New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit that was later claimed to be the spirit of a murdered peddler whose body was found in the house, though no record of such a person was ever found. The spirit was said to have communicated through rapping noises, audible to onlookers. The evidence of the senses appealed to practically-minded Americans, and the Fox sisters became a sensation. As the first celebrity mediums, the sisters quickly became famous for their public séances in New York.  However, in 1888 the Fox sisters admitted that this "contact" with the spirit was a hoax.

ETRNLVW,

YOUR QUOTE: "It's not just proposed by countless religious sources but reinforced by many examples of correlating evidence."

For the validity of such a concept, give us at least 3 scientifically peered reviewed and non-religious sources.  Thank you. Please, don't run away like Tradesecret and ethang5, do all the time because you don't want to join their embarrassing runaway ways, do you? NO? I didn't think so.

They teach that our spirit is unique and survives death. Any one can learn to be a medium or healer. Live by the golden rule, personal responsibility.

One of the things I liked about PW was that like me, she was big on personal responsibility. All that atheist jawing about theists dodging personal responsibility while they dodged like champs got called out with her.
