Spiritualist Phenomena in the Media
The Reverends Lisa and Tom Butler, NST write a column for The National Spiritualist Summit magazine. The column includes a review of the media for information about phenomena related to Spiritualism, survival of personality and transcommunication. The objective is to show that these phenomena are being substantiated by modern research, and for mediumship, that there is no need to depend on 100-year-old research reported in the history books for “proof.”
Each issue has five-to-eight items representing news reports, research, books and special notices which have been gathered to further our understanding of survival phenomena. Consider them a study guide, including names and website links. For instance, the list of 32 items below was compiled from a 2014 search of Media Watch issues using the keywords of healing and intention.
The individual issues of Media Watch have been combined into a single PDF file that can be downloaded here. It will be periodically updated as new issues are published.
As always, your input is invited.
Healing Intention
This section is new and still to be populated. Our objective is to include information about current research into the nature of the etheric as it is influenced by healing intention.
We would like to invite others to contribute to this section. If you have an idea or article, please query via the Contact button below.
Compiled 2014. These links have not been reviewed in 2016.
