Near-Death Newsletter.................................. June 15, 2005
www.near-death.com ...................... Vol. 04, No. 06, Ed. 02
=================================

This is a free semi-monthly newsletter from www.near-death.com
which is emailed to subscribers every 1st of the month and
on every 15th of the month. The mission of this newsletter is
to provide the latest news on the subject of near-death
experiences and related phenomena and to promote IANDS
(International Association for Near-Death Studies), near-death
researchers, experiencers, events, and multimedia resources.
Disclaimer: This newsletter is not affiliated with IANDS; but the
author of this newsletter, Kevin Williams, is a member of IANDS
and is dedicated to the IANDS mission. IANDS is the premier
organization for near-death research. Membership gives you
access to their prestigious Journal of Near-Death Studies and
Vital Signs newsletter. You can join IANDS at their website. Get
connected with IANDS because they will probably be the organization
who will someday provide the scientific evidence proving that human
consciousness survives death.

Message from Kevin Williams
=================================

I am too ill right now to send out a regular newsletter so this
edition of the newsletter will be brief.

I will be well enough to send a regular newsletter on July 1.

Here are some wonderful changes that I plan to implement
very soon for this newsletter:

(1) SYNDICATION - This newsletter will soon become syndicated
so that it can easily and automatically be "feed" into any website
or blog.

(2) HTML NEWSLETTERS - I plan to begin using professional
looking email for this newsletter for those who are not satisfied
with plain text email.

(3) NEAR-DEATH BLOG - I plan to obtain a blog to post this'
newsletter to rather than on my website. Blogs are the best
medium for news, newsletters, and news-related articles.

(4) MORE NDE NEWS - I will soon be implementing a "news
aggregator" to find more and more relevant news related to NDEs.
Using an aggregator will make it easier to find and post such
relevant news articles to a blog.

(5) ARCHIVE OF NDE NEWS - For a long time now, I have not had
the time to update this archive of past NDE news. Once I implement
these new changes I will have more time to do so.

(6) ONLINE NDE STORE - I have never been satisified with my
current online store for various reasons and I plan to implement
a much better one soon which will offer a better variety of NDE
products such as books, ebooks, audiobooks, mp3 audio,
video, DVD, etc...

(7) TUTORIALS - I have accumulated a wealth of information
for anyone wanting to have a website or blog. I plan to publish
my webmaster resources on my website to help others do what
I am doing. I have invested a lot of time and money to learn my
webmaster skills and I plan to freely share it all. Included will be
my recommendations for building and maintaining a website
and/or blog.

(8) MORE NDE MATERIAL - Because I have spent that last
several years focused mainly on the technical aspects of my
website and newsletter, I will soon be able to focus once again
on adding more NDE testimonies and research once all the
above technology is implemented. A lot of people have been
asking me why I haven't been adding new NDE material. This
is why. Stay tuned!

Here are some links to interesting websites I have visited recently:

(2) Elaine Resnik's article about "How A NDE Brought One Woman
To Her Spiritual Path": http://www.thirdmill.com/elaineresnik/
