Tom Campbell’s YouTube channel is full of really great videos, and I have to restrain myself from flooding my blog with many of them.
But this one on “The 3 Paths of Spiritual Growth” is really great.
The Three paths are:

Jeff Olsen was in a car crash in which he lost his wife and youngest son. At the time of the accident, he died, had a NDE and saw his dead wife’s soul. His wife encouraged him to go back for his older son. This book is part autobiographical, so you need to get through those details before you get to the NDE part of the story, it is good setup information.

In this book a 6 year old boy is in a terrible car wreck, with his father. He has a NDE, and stays connected with the after life whilst in Hospital, seeing angles and having miraculous healing. I did enjoy this book, but was disappointed to find on the internet that the boy, now grown up, has recanted his side of the story, claiming he made it all up. So does this mean this whole book should now be thrown away? I don’t know, but maybe if we read it as a piece of fiction it can still be a useful book.

One of the main reasons for this website is for me to share books I have found useful in understanding the universe from a spiritual perspective.
I first was introduced to the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom in 2000 or 2001. Since then I have become a student of the Ageless Wisdom studying these 24 books off and on for the last 25 years or so. (I say off and on because during the middle of the 18 years, (as of 2019) I stopped studying these books for a number of years and have only re-started 3 years ago.)

Proof of Life is a work of Fiction which will be available for purchase May 7th 2019. I was privileged to have an advance PDF copy of the book to read in exchange for a review on Amazon. Since I am not able to review on Amazon yet below is my review.
This is the 2nd Emanuel Swedenborg title I have read. Again the writings are hard to digest, but I did find the parts that I understood fascinating. Swedenborg put forward the idea that there are spiritual beings living on some of the other planets in our solar system and he visits and talks to them. He also visits and talks to some spiritual beings living on planets outside of our solar system. Some of the ideas of the spiritual beings make you think.
As I said in my previous post about Emanuel Swedenborg
“I have given this book 5 stars. Though I found it hard to read, and much of it obtuse, I still found lots of value in the parts that I could understand, and I want to continue to learn about Emanuel Swedenborg.”

I was recommended this book to help with my Meditation practice. I have been meditating for 3 years (or attempting to). I have been struggling to know what is the best practice (the right style for me) as there are so many different styles of meditation being promoted. This book Tibetan Meditation (also published under the title of Buddhist Meditation) provides a lot of useful information about meditation, but be warned it sets very high standards. If I was to put all the suggestions into practice, I would have a very changed life and lifestyle. So this book has given me some new standards to aim to live by. If you are struggling with your meditation, this book may help. It may be a bit too much for a beginner, and other Meditation books may be more helpful, but a beginner who is willing to just take it one step at a time may find this book very useful.

I discovered the eighteenth-century spiritual world explorer Emanuel Swedenborg from reading a booklet Insights into the Afterlife by Nora Spurgin. Online, I found the Swedenborg Foundation, who are a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to help people learn about Emanuel Swedenborg.
From the Swedenborg Foundation websites Where to Start page I decided to read the book A Swedenborg Sampler. (You can download a free PDF or EPUB of the book or purchase a paperback copy from the website).
Insights into the afterlife is a small booklet, but still a great read. Nora had a friend who was dying of cancer, and so spent some time researching information to give to her dying friend to reassure in her few months on earth. Afterwards she then gather this information into 30 Questions on what to expect. In the booklet she referenced Emanuel Swedenborg and Anthony Borgia whom I had not heard of but sound very interesting and I have done a search and found my next avenue of exploration.
You can purchase the book at Amazon by clicking the links above or follow this link to read it online.

I found this booklet by following the above link in Victor Zammit’s weekly newsletter. I then reduced the URL and went to www.ial.goldthread.com Where I found the Video In Another Life: Reincarnation in America which I posted about yesterday.
So I ended up watching the video then read this booklet.
