Testimony of Light
Helen Greaves’ Testimony of Light is one of the most remarkable accounts of consciousness continuing after physical death. The book presents communications believed by Greaves to have come from her close friend, Frances Banks, following Frances’ death. Yet its importance goes considerably beyond the simple question of survival. Running throughout Frances’ account are glimpses of a much greater spiritual… Read more →
Animal Consciousness after Death?
The consciousness of an animal does not simply vanish. It does not continue in the same self-reflective way that a human being normally does, because most animals do not carry the same strongly individualized mental structure. But the living essence, the awareness, the feeling-life, the spark that looked out through the eyes of the blue tit, or the dog,… Read more →
Investigating the Afterlife?
The question of how to learn about life after death from a practical point of view is one of the most important a thoughtful person can ask, because the deepest investigation begins not with belief, but with direct observation. A deeper view suggests that if consciousness continues beyond death, then the most reliable clues may already be available to… Read more →
Transmission from a Friend

Suspended in Stillness and Love
I can give you impressions of my ‘time’ here so far. You and I have both had Near Death Experiences so we both know what it’s like in the beginning. A beautiful experience that you would never forget, floating in very bright Light, where you feel totally at peace. Now I’m suspended in a vast Space and I can… Read more →
What is the Source of the Soul?
As we follow the journey of the soul to its deepest point, a final and profound question arises. If the soul evolves, expands, and perhaps even transcends individuality, what lies at the very origin of it all? Is there a source from which the soul emerges, and to which it ultimately returns? A deeper view suggests that understanding the… Read more →
Can the Soul Transcend Individuality?
As we explore the nature of the soul, a deeper question begins to emerge. If the soul evolves and grows through experience, does it always remain an individual identity, or can it move beyond this sense of separateness? Is individuality the final expression of the soul, or a stage within a much larger reality? A deeper view suggests that… Read more →
Does Reincarnation ever End?
The idea of reincarnation naturally leads to a deeper question: does this cycle continue indefinitely, or is there a point at which it comes to an end? Many traditions and personal experiences suggest that life is part of an ongoing process of growth and exploration. But is this journey endless, or does it move toward a form of completion… Read more →
