"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force …
We must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious
and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."

Woman Wakes From 20 Year Coma
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND ----- (TVNZ Interactive)
A U.S. woman who has spent the past 20 years in a coma-like state has
inexplicably awoken and can now speak, news reports said. Sarah Scantlin
was 18 years old when, as a pedestrian, she was injured in a hit-and-run
accident that left her in a semi-vegetative condition, aware of her
surroundings but unable to speak or move. Since that time, she has been
in a care centre in the Midwest US state of Kansas. Scantlin's parents
unexpectedly received a phone call last week from the nursing home where
their now 38-year-old daughter resides. However, instead of the call being
about Sarah, it was actually from Sarah. "Hi mum," she said to her mother.

Brain-Damaged People Show Signs of Awareness: Study
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
SOMERVILLE, NEW JERSEY ----- (DrKoop.com)
People with severe brain damage who appear to be completely unaware
may in fact know what's going on around them but are unable to respond,
The New York Times reported Tuesday. A study using magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) technology involved two young men determined to be
minimally conscious. Doctors noted the patients' brain activity while a
close relative recounted familiar experiences, comparing this activity to the
same sharing of experiences among healthy people.

Dreams Can Come True - and Save Lives
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM ----- (icNorthWales)
The twin worlds of dreams and reality can sometimes overlap - with
extraordinary results. Take the case of a Mr. Boardman, who was saved
from certain death by a dream. Mr Boardman had been preaching one
night in 18th century Mold and was making his way across the Dee
estuary, when the tide came in quicker than he had anticipated and he
found himself in a very perilous position. The water had soon risen up
to his knees, and he gave himself up as lost. But then he saw two men
running down a hill and, to his joy, he saw them get into a boat. He was
rescued! ... One of his rescuers told him: "I dreamed I must get to
the top of such a hill; when I awoke the dream made such an impression
on me, I could not rest..."

Was It a Dream, or Voice From Beyond the Grave?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
CHEBOYGAN, MICHIGAN ----- (The Cheboygan Daily Tribune)
In 1985 I moved to Cheboygan and never heard from Joe again until few
months ago. That kind of surprised me because Joe had died in 2002 and
a few months ago was 2004. This is what happened: One night in
November 2004 I had a dream. In the dream my Copper Country friend
Joe is talking on the phone with me. This is what he says, "I'm living
in the land of Beulah. It's a wonderful government. Let my wife know." ...
After I mailed the letter, I kept wondering what Joe's wife's reaction must
have been when she read it. Like, who goes to "Beulah" after they die?
I also kept hoping that Beulah wasn't the name of one of Joe's old
girlfriends. Anyway, yesterday I got a letter from Joe's wife and guess
what one of her favorite songs is? Hold onto your socks ... It's none other
than "Dwelling in Buelahland."

Science Points to a "Sixth Sense"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK ----- (Forbes.com)
Research in young volunteers points to some kind of "sixth sense" -- a
mechanism in the brain that picks up on subtle clues, then sends out
subconscious signals of trouble ahead. The finding could help explain
certain intuitive phenomena seen among humans. For example, in the
recent Asian tsunami, aboriginal people sought out higher ground in the
moments before the disaster, as did many wild animals. Could subtle
changes in weather or the environment have warned them early on?
Just such an early warning system may exist in the anterior cingulate
cortex, a brain area important in processing complex information, according
to a report by psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis. Their
findings appear in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal "Science."

Monkeys Control Robotic Arm With Brain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
WASHINGTON, DC ----- (Yahoo! News)
With the help of a computer, monkeys using only their brain signals
are now able to move a robotic arm to feed themselves pieces of fruit
and vegetables, researchers report. The achievement could mark a major
advance in the development of brain-controlled artificial limbs for people,
the scientists said. "The beneficiaries of such technology will be patients
with spinal cord injuries or nervous system disorders such as amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis [ALS]," project senior researcher Andrew Schwartz,
professor of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine,
said in a prepared statement.

Local Medium Uses Power To Help Authorities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA ----- (NBC17.com)
Much like Allison Dubois in NBC's "Medium," Anne Poole uses a power she
doesn't entirely understand to help authorities solve hard-to-crack crimes...
Poole discovered her power at age 10, and now police departments across
the country have used her clairvoyance to help find bodies and crime scenes
or create profiles of killers ... In a test where a subject is asked to use his
or
her mind to send images shown on a screen from one room to another, the
average person acting as a receiver correctly picks the image about a quarter
of the time, which researchers say amounts to random chance. When Poole
is the receiver, she gets it right more than half the time.

Psychics Led Police to Schoolgirl's Killer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM ----- (Scotsman.com)
A garage worker who raped and murdered a schoolgirl was caught
after his victim's mother turned to psychic detectives for help. Police
had run out of leads in the hunt for the killer of Susanne Erbe, 16, but
he was tracked down after her mother, Sigrid, got in touch with mediums
who allegedly made contact with the spirit of the dead girl. Ms Erbe, 45,
told a court in Mannheim, Germany, she had been sceptical about the
psychics' planned seance. But she went on: "Susanne told me her killer
was a Croatian man in his mid-20s. They were even able to work out
where to look for him. They said he could be found at a garage in
Mannheim."

Our Multi-Dimensional Nature as a Soul:
An Introduction to Life Between Lives Spiritual Regression (article)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS ----- (Lightworks Monthly Aspectarian)
Based upon his hypnotic regressions with over 7,000 Life Between
Life clients, Dr. Newton has described a realm of spirit which is
consistent with, yet far more elaborated, than that found in the NDE
and OBE literature. His writings are among the most significant, in
terms of both the depth and inspiration, of any you will find in the
metaphysical and spiritual literature regarding the Path of the Soul
and life after death.

Last Fatima Virgin Witness Dies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM ----- (BBC News)
The last surviving witness to whom the Virgin Mary is said to have
appeared in a series of apparitions in Portugal in 1917 has died aged 97 ...
She was one of three shepherd children who claimed they spoke to
the Virgin Mary near Fatima town over six months. The apparitions
turned Fatima into one of Catholicism's most revered sites. The Virgin
Mary is said to have revealed prophecies of key 20th Century events,
including the end of World War I, the start of World War II and the rise
and fall of Soviet communism.

*** Near-Death Experiencer Who Foretold 9-11 Warns of U.S. East Coast Tsunami
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
SOUTHAMPTON, NEW YORK ----- (Mission of Angels Fdn)
From Ned Dougherty, author Fast Lane to Heaven ... During the first
experience on Long Island, New York, I was clinically dead in an
ambulance when I had visions of global geopolitical and geophysical
events that I understood would occur in the future. In March, 2001, my
non-fiction book, Fast Lane to Heaven, was published containing many
of these future visions, including that a major terrorist attack would befall
New York City or Washington, DC, severely impacting the way we lived
in the United States. Several pages of the Future Visions chapter
clearly describe the rise of terrorism in the world and current global
geopolitical events, particularly in the Middle East. The book also
contained predictions of future earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tidal
waves as a result of a shifting of the Earth axis. In the last few days,
scientists have been suggesting that the recent 9.0 Asian earthquake
may have caused the Earth axis to shift ... In the book, I described the
vision of a massive tsunami descending on the U.S. eastern seaboard.
I was specifically shown this event taking place on Eastern Long Island,
in New York City, and Miami in order for me to comprehend the scope
and magnitude of this future event.

A Lucky Break on Friday the 13th, 2029: Giant Asteroid Will Narrowly Miss Earth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
MELBOURNE, AUSTRAILIA ----- (Herald Sun)
A HUGE asteroid expected to fly by Earth in 2029 will be visible from
Europe, Africa and Asia -- but not Australia, scientists said yesterday ...
Named 2004 MN4, it was discovered last June and then seen again in
December when scientists said it had the highest odds of hitting Earth
ever given to an asteroid. Subsequent observations refined its future path.
NASA scientists said on April 13, 2029, the asteroid will be about 36,350
kilometers from Earth's center. Of the 10 known closest asteroid fly-bys,
2004 MN4 is by far the largest object, said Steve Chesley of NASA's jet
propulsion laboratory.

Coming Soon: Immortality?

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK ----- (CBS News)
The claims are fantastic, but Kurzweil is no crank. He's a recipient
of the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT prize, which is billed as a sort of Academy
Award for inventors, and he won the 1999 National Medal of Technology
Award. He has written on the emergence of intelligent machines in
publications ranging from Wired to Time magazine. The Christian Science
Monitor has called him a "modern Edison." He was inducted into the
Inventors Hall of Fame in 2002. Perhaps the MIT graduate's most famous
inventions is the first reading machine for the blind that could read any
typeface. During a recent interview in his company offices, Kurzweil sipped

A pretty 23-year-old girl killed in a car smash has given up to twenty
people the chance of a new life. Blonde graduate Clare Ekins was
carrying an organ donor card when she died instantly in a head-on
crash as she drove to work. Because she was young, fit and healthy
her tissues were ideal for transplants - and her parents gave the go-ahead.
Dad Graham, 54, a headmaster, told yesterday how he and teacher
wife Evie, 53, had no hesitation. He said: "We knew how strong her
feelings were. Clare thought society should help others and wanted to
do her bit."

TV Special on Heaven Reveals Startling New Evidence of Life after Death

DENVER, COLORADO ----- (PRNewswire)
The world premiere of the special entitled "The Search for Heaven,"
which airs on the PAX-TV Network during February 2005 Sweeps
Saturday, February 19 from 9 -10 PM EST/PST, examines the ancient
biblical view of death in light of new scientific evidence, and several
remarkable true-life dying experiences... Cardiologist Michael Sabom,
shares the astonishing account of Pam Reynolds' near-death experience
while connected to a vast array of bio-monitors during surgery which
prove scientifically that her visions were not the result of brain seizure,
drug induced hallucinations or from external stimuli ... Another medical
expert and author of "God at the Speed of Light," Dr. T. Baumann advances
the new theory that God is actually light! Baumann asserts, "I feel
there is a common element to balance the arguments for near death
experiences and the existence of Heaven. The common element is
light ... light is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and has a
consciousness."

My Descent into Death: A Second Chance at Life
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
by Howard Storm (Availability: Now)
This is one of the greatest NDE testimonies ever told. It was first
released on July 10, 2000, and now a second edition has been released
on February 15th. Not since Betty Eadie's "Embraced by the Light"
has a NDE story been so utterly different from most others or more
compelling. Perhaps no one but Howard Storm has fallen to such
great depths, then risen to such great heights, and lived to tell about
it. Rather than being welcomed by light beings immediately after death,
Howard was tortured by monstrous beings of depravity. But a simple
childhood prayer allowed him to be rescued by Jesus himself and be
taken to heaven. As it was with Betty Eadie, Howard's story is a great
message of hope and a great message of redemption. Anne Rice, who
wrote the Foreword of Howard's book, had this to say about it: "This is a
book you devour from cover to cover, and pass on to others. This is a book
you will quote in your daily conversation. Storm was meant to write it
and we were meant to read it." Anne Rice read the manuscript and
was so overwhelmed, she volunteered to provide the foreword.

Is There Life After Death?: An Examination of the Empirical Evidence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
by David Lester (Availability: Now)
There exists a large body of research on topics relevant to the
question of life after death. This book objectively examines that
research, drawing together the observations of social science
regarding such phenomena as reincarnation, near-death experiences,
deathbed visions, cases of possession by dead spirits, and apparitions
of the deceased. It considers possibilities including survival of
consciousness and survival of personality, and reflects on the logical
problems inherent in any model of postmortem survival." An extensive
bibliography lists hundreds of studies of phenomena that suggest the
possibility of life after death.

Grief Dreams: How They Help Us Heal after the Death of a Loved One
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
---
by Tina J. Wray and Ann Back Price (Availability: Now)
The authors present four basic categories of grief dreams -- the
visitation dream, in which the deceased simply spends time with the
griever; the message dream, in which counsel is given; the reassurance
dream, in which the dreamer feels comforted about the fate of the dead
person or her own ability to cope; and the trauma dream, in which the
dreamer relives some unpleasant aspect of the death or of experiences
with the dead person in life. Suggestions are then given for using the
messages of these dreams and for understanding the nature of the
grieving process.
