"Twice President Reagan faced life-threatening experiences and twice he had encounters with angelic beings who comforted him and helped pull him through his medical crises, says a new book, "Hand of Providence: The Strong and Quiet Faith of Ronald Reagan," by Mary Beth Brown.

Scientists at the University of Arizona have done extensive research, and say that they have the proof that when we die we continue to live beyond our physical bodies. "Almost anyone who sees the data says there's something real here," said one of the researchers. Allison Dubois is a spiritual medium, or someone thought to be able to communicate with the dead.

"A woman says her 12-year-old daughter almost died while in a Lawrence foster care facility last week. "She and some of the other girls were playing a game called pass out,'" said Raquel Jordan, who asked that her daughter not be identified. In "pass out," one person positions their fingers under another person's chin and presses down in a way that cuts off the flow of blood to the second person's brain. Soon, the second person, who's lying down, loses consciousness."

"One in ten cardiac-arrest patients report 'near-death experiences'. Now a large-scale study aims to find out what's going on. When Jeanette Atkinson was 18 years old she was admitted to hospital with deep-vein thrombosis and seven pulmonary embolisms (blood clots on the lungs). At 9 pm, Jeanette remembers the light changing, and she had the sensation of floating out of her body, down the ward and past the nurse station."

"The last poll done was conducted by U. S. News & World Report, March 1997, and they estimate 15 million people in the U.S. believe that they had a near-death experience. This figures out to be, roughly, 1/3 of those who died or nearly died in an emergency or medical setting. This figure DOES NOT address child experiencers - only adults. The closest we can come to children, is the estimation from Melvin Morse, M.D. of about 70 to 75%. That implies that children are twice as likely as adults to experience the near-death phenomenon when threatened with death or near death."

"Astronomers operating the Spitzer satellite infrared telescope have confidently confirmed the sighting of another similar sized object that might potentially be classified as a planet. Dubbed 'Sedna', it is presently 8 billion miles away from Earth in a 'highly elliptical orbit, taking 10,000 years to orbit the Sun."

"Kitei told me that speaking to others about the Phoenix Lights, and other unexplained phenomena, has been rewarding. Her book mentions that most people who experience an unexplained phenomenon, like a near-death experience, or an alien abduction, come away with a sense of tranquility and peace. "Maybe these phenomena are touching one person at a time," she said. "Whatever it takes to wake a person up to the spiritual beings we are and the goodness we can put forth during this short time we're on Earth."

An enormous amount of evidence suggests a strong correlation between President Abraham Lincoln and President John F. Kennedy which may very well be karmic.

I have greatly updated the Jesus/Buddha, Jesus/Krishna, Jesus/Mithra reincarnation connection pages.

"Then I saw this very tall man that had eyes like a rainbow. His skin was tan. He wore a white long robe. He stood behind all my family members. They all, including "HIM," were shinning with a GOLD BEAM of LIGHT around them."

Daniel saw two large angels inside the ambulance, they were completely white, even the pupils of their eyes. Daniel tried to talk to the angels, but one motioned for his silence. They lifted him from his broken body, holding him under each arm of his spirit, which was uninjured. As soon as they left the ambulance, Daniel became oblivious of this world, and of time itself. To him the 42 hours he was clinically dead, seemed like only 15 minutes.

"In June 2002, while undergoing angioplasty, I drifted to a white room where both of my sons meet me. They appeared to be happy and was rolling me around in an office chair. After they assured me that they were all right, they then told me I had to go back."

"It was if I was being picked up by a large hand I couldn't see. I was amazed how supported and warm I felt - like when you pick up a small puppy completely cradled and comfortable. The force pulled me along an invisible path, like I was flying through a bright blue summer sky. It reminded me of Scuba diving, even breathing felt different. It wasn't a tunnel as such but a three dimensional road system, with blocks and roads going off to each side - I knew they were there but I could not see them."

Dr. PMH Atwater will answer questions submitted to her from subscribers to this newsletter. The next question has to do with addictions such as cigarettes.

Cindi is the author of "The Dream Seer: Exploring Precognitive, Telepathic and Instructive Dreams" and "The Final Chapter: Unraveling Death's Deeper Meaning." Her book "The Final Chapter" expands on the NDE by providing more insight into its 
psycho-spiritual cousin, the DRE (the "Death-Related experience"). It also broadens the work of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross to more fully address the spiritual aspect of the grieving process; and, delineates the transitional stages that one can encounter as 
a result of the transformational power of the DRE. More about this can be found at her website: www.dragonflypublications.com

My research conclusions concerning one of the most interesting aspects of NDEs. Many experiencers discover themselves outside of their body and observe events going on around their lifeless physical body or even around locations at great distances from their physical body.
