Notes from Nightingale

Buried Treasures ~ Yesterday was a very exciting day for me in that I finally was able to unpack the [seemingly] countless boxes of books and put them on the newly acquired book shelves that were filled to near capacity!  I kept thinking of the books that have come to me as a result of doing the radio show and the exceptional people who authored them.  I paused to reflect and was feeling such a profound sense of gratitude and joy.  It’s nice to have these ‘buried treasures’ unearthed once again and accessible to me.  I also had to marvel at all of the marvellous work we’re doing collectively—to help inspire people into the realisation that we live forever and that there is no death and, therefore, nothing to fear.  I looked at these books with a sense of awe as I lovingly and reverently placed them on the shelves.  If any of you authors were aware of me, yesterday, it’s because I was beaming lots of love and acknowledgement your way—that which you truly deserve.  And, indeed, I want to extend my thanks to you for honouring your calling and participating in this special work.  Together, all of us can accomplish the work of moving the masses into a new paradigm that’s centred in love, our divinity and greatness, and truth … rather than in fear and feeling small and worthless.  We are all ‘Source Beams’ that are always connected to Source.  How could we not be?  If the sunbeams can never be separate from the sun and it’s light, how can we be separate from the LightSource?  So that’s part of the discovery that we’re engulfed in right now—discovering (or rather, remembering) Who we are.

In fact, I met a fuzzy black caterpillar last night and took her into my hand and greeted her.  ‘Look at you,’ I said.  ‘You’re going to become a butterfly at some point soon—as we all are—but you cannot even fathom what Butterfly is, can you?—having glorious wings and being able to fly!  Alas, none of us can fathom the tremendous being that we’ll be evolving in to, but you will … and we will … once it unfolds and takes place.  Bless you, little friend,’ I said as I gingerly set her back down in the grass where she’d be safe.  She reminded me to be aware of what our great potential is … and not to be caught in the fear and chaos of the changing and challenging times we’re now enduring in this illusory world.  The planet is going into labour, as it were, and being made ready for a new birth.  Hold on, everyone, and stay centred in love—whatever you do.  We can do this…

Again, thanks to all of you who are helping in the process of remembering…

And speaking of people who are doing tremendous work in helping to bring the Truth into the light of day, my friend David Icke will be in California this weekend and my daughter, DJamil, will be there as well for a very special presentation that DI is giving in Santa Clara, California.  I will truly be with you in spirit, David & DJamil, but my body will have to remain here on the east coast as I’m endeavouring to recover from the health crisis that still plagues me and making it impossible to travel.  If you are aware of a wee sprite dancing on your shoulder, that’s me … and I love you dearly!

And here’s some more…

Kimberly Wencl

Kimberly Wencl is a wife to Roger and mother to Elizabeth and Anna and has been employed by SPX Corporation in Owatonna, Minnesota for 34 years—working in purchasing, sales, and customer service. Her present position is in International customer service. She says she lives a very ordinary life and loves every minute of it.

She has always been interested and fascinated by psychic phenomenon, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and spirit communication. However, she had absolutely no personal experience with any of them.

That all changed on 20th September, 2003, when her daughter, 20-year-old University of Minnesota student, Elizabeth Wencl, died from an early morning fire at her duplex just blocks from the University. Kim now shares the truly amazing journey through the devastating loss of her daughter. She shares the premonitions she received prior to Liz’s death as well as the messages and signs she and others received from Liz after her death—ultimately leading her to Kathryn Harwig, an internationally-acclaimed author, teacher, trainer, attorney, intuitive and friend. Kathryn was able to bridge the gap between mother and daughter, and Kim’s life has been forever changed.

Kim will share her own personal journey to intuitive knowing and peace. In November 2005 she completed Kathryn’s Intuitive Mastery Program, and since that time, her own intuitive abilities have continued to grow and get stronger. She now strives to incorporate this gift into her everyday life, to share her story, and to help others on their life journeys.

Kim’s story is included in the book, True Stories of Messages From Beyond, by Julie Aydlott. It was released in July, 2007 and is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or the website: www.messages-from-beyond.com.

This will be a very heart-warming and inspiring show, so please do join us!

~ Notes from Nightingale ~

A Bridge-builder ~ I met MaAnna Stephenson whilst attending a Noetic Sciences meeting in Nashville a few years ago.  She approached me after my having given an announcement and, once we started talking, it was evident that we were kindred spirits.  She attended the FOI (Friends of IANDS) Nashville meetings that I facilitated—having had a spiritually transformative experience (STE), which she shared with the group.  It’s fair to say that she’s actually had a number of STEs and meeting me seemed to compliment her research into all this and helping enable her to better understand them on a deeper level and to share them. This also coincided with her initiation and growth in the realm of shamanism and other spiritual disciplines.  She has been an avid researcher of technical, scientific and New-Age thought.

With a strong creative and academic background—not to mention her having a healthy dose of curiosity—MaAnna has also been gifted with intuitive skills and lucid dreaming.  Because of this combination, she’s been catapulted into the work of bridging the gap between ‘science and intuition’–or, to use her words: ’Harmonising the full range of frontier science with current intuitive wisdom and practice’.   Her new book, The Sage Age is the outcome of this dedicated pursuit.

I cannot tell you the countless hours we’ve spent in dialogue together—even into the wee hours—picking each other’s brains, as it were, sharing ideas, experiences, resources and more.  There was also a good amount of humour and laughter thrown into the mix.  For me it has been tremendously refreshing to commune with someone who possesses depth and understanding on a number of levels and I am pleased to have come into MaAnna’s life at such an auspicious time and to witness the unfolding of her tremendous book.  To be a wise elder that she could turn to at any given time has meant a lot to me and taking her under my cosmic wing helped to facilitate the maturation of her own spiritual path and growth.  That’s a huge part of what I’m here for … and it has truly been an honour for me to be a part of this special and profound blossoming.

The Sage Age will be featured in the 22^nd September edition of Publishers Weekly.  Keep your eye on MaAnna Stephenson, as this dear soul is going to soar!

You’ll definitely want to tune in to Toward The Light as I interview MaAnna on Sunday.  Don’t miss it!

MaAnna Stephenson

MaAnna Stephenson ~ While currently known as a visionary thinker and new author, MaAnna Stephenson is a true Renaissance Woman. From an early age she was exposed to a myriad of influences, including her father’s engineering and artistic endeavours, her maternal line of intuitives, and an intrinsic fascination with sound and music. Born in the small town of Humboldt, Tennessee, MaAnna began her journey as the youngest of three children with a huge age gap between her siblings and herself. Constant inclusion in the world of adults led to an early maturity and perhaps a different view of the world than most children experience—especially with the special gifts of the adults in her family. None of it was lost on young MaAnna. “My mother was also an intuitive, as were all the women in my immediate family. Having psychic senses was quite normal and the information derived from these methods was respected and adhered to. I became accustomed quite early to the fact that there were things—forces and powers—which could not be measured with a ruler but were just as real as anything I could see or touch.”

An additional gift was bestowed by her paternal grandmother—the gift of music. Time spent at the organ with her grandmother, who was well known for her passion for music, ignited a flame in MaAnna as well. By the time she was a teenager, she was already a multi-instrumentalist and composer, exploring sounds and techniques with special interest in how they affected listeners spiritually and emotionally. Her advanced education continued this line of exploration as she attended Jackson State Community College and Lambuth University concurrently, double majoring in Music and Acoustics with a special apprenticeship at a local recording studio as a sound engineer.

MaAnna transferred to Jackson Area Vocational and Technical School, acquiring a degree in Electronics. This led to a prestigious job offer and subsequent move to Dallas, Texas in 1984. She continued her work in sound engineering and music with several international hits to her credit. After a decade in the big city, she accepted a field assignment in Nashville, Tennessee, where she has resided since.

It was in Nashville that she began her writing career with a short story triggering what she calls ’soul memories’. In response to her experience, MaAnna began her self-education in the fields of technical, scientific and New-Age thought, exploring ancient mysticism and the rational sciences with equal emphasis. After a five-year preparation period, she was initiated as a Shamanka (feminine for shaman). Her training for this initiation further contributed to her education process as she continued her studies in reconciling the rational sciences and the intuitive arts. This process has culminated in the writing of the newly released The Sage Age – Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom.

While maintaining this intense pace, MaAnna has somehow found time to feed her inner artist, working in stained glass, wood carving and, of course, continuing to indulge her love of music. A member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, she considers herself a ‘bridge builder’ as well as an artist, composer, scholar and author. Her current focus on ‘new models for new thought’ is leading her to develop interactive classes that continue to explore the concepts in The Sage Age.

The Sage Age

An Auspicious Weekend ~ As is typical of me, I’m a night owl and rarely get to bed before 2 or 3A, but I knew that I had a presentation to give in morning, which meant that I had to be up early.  I’d barely dozed off … when I was awakened by the sounds of strong wind and rain beating against my window.  Here’s the storm from Hurricane Hannah, I acknowledged to myself.  I was thinking, go figure that the storm would hit when I was giving a presentation at the Edgar Cayce ARE Centre!  The same thing happened when I last spoke there in December of 2003!  I flew down from Portland, Maine—where I lived at the time—and was stuck in Dulles Airport in Washington, DC both coming and going on that trip.  Going back, I was stuck in DC for two nights as flight after flight back to Portland was cancelled on account of the severe snow storm.  I’m the ‘bringer of storms’, I thought, and had to chuckle in amusement to myself.

Alas, it had only been the previous weekend that a huge flock of birds had landed in my yard—tweeting and carrying on as if in a huge party or convention of their own!  I looked out at them and asked them, ‘Are you giving me an indication of the turnout I’ll have for the upcoming presentation next week?’  There was such a happy, joyous energy surrounding these birds … and, indeed, there have been so many auspicious messages delivered by birds this year.  I had encountered eleven hawks whilst my daughter visited me a few months ago while still living in Vermont, and it was stunning and breath-taking, to say the least.

I got up and was ready when my ride arrived for me early on Saturday morning.  Even as Lloyd was driving me towards the ARE Centre, we spotted patches of blue sky.  Of course, I love the beautiful skyscapes and the beautiful patterns and images found in the clouds.  I was in awe.  It was beautiful!  I really didn’t mind the storm and there seemed to be no harm being inflicted on this area at all—certainly not to my awareness.

We started the presentation a little late in order to give people enough time to arrive due to driving in the wind and rain.  To my delight, I found the mini auditorium filling up!  People sat ready and alert and I was already feeling a sense of awe—that these people were coming to hear me speak!

I gave a two-hour presentation from 10A-12N that was centred on my NDEs and how they have impacted my life.  After a brief lunch break, I returned to the auditorium to give another two-and-a-half-hour workshop centred on intuition, telepathy and the nature of consciousness we come to know as multidimensional beings.  I was again in awe at how many people stayed for the workshop.  They were so attentive and asked wonderful questions during the Q&A session—which is actually my favourite part of any talk or workshop I give, because they remind me of things that are really worth noting … or details that I’d neglected to mention.  I always thank people for their wonderful and thought-provoking questions.  I delight in answering them from my heart and from experience.  I do believe that this is a great source of credible material that people can appreciate—especially since it’s coming from a place of experience and not just from hypothesis or academic study, etc.

I was so pleased to acknowledge several of the guests who’ve been on my radio show, Toward The Light—guests that have added a wealth of validation and meaning to my own experiences and the wisdom gleaned from them.  Hosting a radio show and having such a stellar roster of guests have been invaluable to me and I cherish all of my guests and the treasures they’ve ‘brought to the table’ to share with the world.  Alas, I also cherish my listeners throughout the world and am so honoured to share with them every week.

I must admit that I’m not a professional speaker—not by any means—but I do speak from the heart and from experience … because I was given this assignment whilst on the Other Side.  I’ve had to accept being on radio and television and in other media … and finally, to give public talks.  All I do is pray that I’ll deliver whatever message that particular group or audience needs and that which will inform, inspire and uplift them—removing all traces of fear and doubt in their minds about the nature of consciousness and what death is (or should I say what death isn’t?), because death really is an illusion!

After the presentation and workshop, people queued up and seemed to want more from this humble well.  I was in awe and felt so humbled by all of this.  Not only that, but I was asked to give more presentations that are now in progress of being booked.  I’m completely blown away, because, again, I’m not a ‘pro’ like my friends David Icke and PMH Atwater, for example, who have been tremendous role models for me that I hold in high esteem.  But, as one attendee pointed out to me, I shared from the heart and gave the people exactly what they needed.  And, in truth, that’s all that mattered.  I’m just a humble servant of the Light and my only wish is to give a message of truth and love as revealed through experience and the wisdom and inner knowing that is really inherent in all of us!  As I pointed out during the workshop, we are all little balls of radiant light—all little bits of the LightSource itself!  That is our heritage and our destiny: to move toward the Light which is our final Home…

I want to thank each and every one of those dear souls who attended my presentation last Saturday at the ARE Centre.  It was such an honour to share with you and to be back at the lovely venue where all of this work is held in high esteem.  The little birdies were right; there was a wonderful turnout of people and a fulfilling time was had by all.  Alas, even if only a handful of people had been present, it still would have been so well worth it to me in every way to be there for you.  I am deeply grateful to you and I welcome you reaching out to me any time you need to, because I am here for you.

Light On The Water ~  It’s here!  Finally, we are now conducting local LOTW NDE support and interest groups meetings on the third Saturday of the month from 1-3P at the Victorian Station Tearoom here in Old Phoebus ~ 36 N. Mallory Street, Hampton, Virginia!  I hadn’t held local meetings for nearly two years, but now I’m pleased to revive the local meeting here in an area where there is tremendous interest in the NDE and related experiences and topics.  While the VB IANDS is focused on speakers and giving presentations (where I just spoke last weekend), LOTW is more focused on intimate discussions where people can share their experiences, questions, concerns and ideals in an environment that’s loving, safe and supportive.  I’m pleased by the encouragement and support in re-establishing the LOTW meetings, so I hope you’ll join us on Saturday, 18 October from 1-3P.  On top of that, one can enjoy good tea and treats in the quaint tearoom of the Victorian Station.

Alas, don’t forget our regularly held LOTW meetings via teleconference, which take place on the fourth Saturday of the month.  The next meeting will be held on Saturday, 27 September from 9-11P ET.  Anyone who can ring a US telephone number can participate.  For more information, please click here.  These teleconference meetings offer the same support and resources as do the local meetings, so please spread the word, as anyone who is interested in this topic is more than welcome to join us!

Finally, I am pleased to have back on Toward The Light, a fellow mate from Lancashire, Matthew Delooze.  He’s going to share his NDE and the positive and not-so-positives aspects of the Afterlife from his own perspective gleaned from his experiences.  He’s also a child abductee and has been catapulted onto a path where he, likewise, has been called to share important messages generated from his own experiences and research.  Like me, he doesn’t regard himself a ‘pro’, yet he keeps his audiences captivated by the amazing things he’s got to share.  I dare say, you’ll be kept on the edge of your seat as you listen to what he’s got to say … so tune in!

Matthew Delooze

Matthew Delooze was abducted by aliens as a child. His experiences then have led him to uncover evidence that we are ruled covertly by reptilian aliens. He has uncovered symbolism hidden in plain sight in our towns and cities, and in major events like Live 8 to support his ideas. Matthew’s latest book relates the photographs he took at Dendera to what he calls The Serpent Cult, interdimensional aliens who are vampirising our spiritual energy for their own sinister ends. Matthew Delooze is calling for us, the human race, to free ourselves and reclaim our true spiritual legacy. Matthew was born in 1959 and lives with his wife and two grown-up children in Lancashire UK (Juliet’s birthplace!).

Matthew is the author of three books: The Stars Are Falling, You Will Be Wiser When You’re Older and Is It Me For A Moment.

An Exciting Week! ~ Some of you are already aware that I am preparing for a powerful presentation and workshop that I’ll be giving at the ARE Centre here in Virginia Beach on Saturday, 6 September.  It will be so lovely to once again appear at this special centre that was founded by Edgar Cayce and helping to further the message that he brought to the world.  He was, indeed, a pioneer in the realm of psychic phenomena, metaphysics, reincarnation, the Afterlife, healing and consciousness—just to name a few.

Despite the challenges of my having been sent back to this plane all these times (from my NDEs and sickbeds), I feel deeply honoured, nonetheless, to do the work in helping to spread the message that life is eternal and that consciousness is limitless!  It’s infinite!  And when we start to awaken to this truth and discover it within our own being, it’s amazing what comes forth and what we can do as divine beings.

That’s why hosting this radio show, Toward The Light, is invaluable to me—especially when I think of the tremendous guests I’ve had on the show for the past two and a half years … and the ones lined up yet to come.  After hearing their testimonies, what they’ve discovered through their research, education and experiences, and how they’ve integrated all of this into their lives, it’s quite stunning to behold—not to mention downright inspiring!  Just listening to one show has got the potential to change your life forever; and the feedback I’ve received from listeners all over the world has been a testament to this fact.

I’ve always loved reading biographies, because the myriad of stories that people share about their life experiences are so moving and awe-inspiring—just what the human spirit can do and is capable of.  It is enough to take my breath away.  We learn so much by their losses and triumphs, joys and sorrows and their overcoming the greatest odds.  NDE accounts are a very good example of this and that’s why I am pleased to provide a platform upon which people can share the profundity of these life-altering experiences that leave us transformed forever.

I believe that it is important to look upon one another with respect and admiration—even those with whom we do not necessarily resonate—because there is a message here that is serving our growth and evolution.  There’s a tremendous unfolding taking place, an opportunity to learn and grow in ways that we never could have imagined—just by being exposed to the life paths of other human beings … and learning from the lessons and examples they’ve had in their lives.

Paul Elder is going to be my special guest on Sunday and, besides both of us being multiple NDErs, we’ve both got a background in media.  One notable difference between us, however, is that he was a politician; yet his NDEs changed and transformed him completely … and you can read about all of this in his book, Eyes of an Angel.  We’ll be discussing the details of this during the show as well.

I hope you will join us for the upcoming presentation on Saturday (if you’re in the region) and on Sunday for another special transmission of Toward The Light with Paul Elder.

Paul Elder

Paul Elder has spent a lifetime studying human nature from a unique perspective. He is a survivor of three near-death experiences: a drowning at the age of 12, a car accident at 17, and a heart attack at the age of 41.

Along with the trauma and subsequent beauty of death came a series of spontaneous spiritual events—events that would rock his world—turning his belief system upside down, and leaving him with some profound insights as to our true nature and purpose in the universe.

After spending nearly a decade as a radio and television news reporter, Elder ventured into a career of politics and business spanning more than 20 years. Forever grateful for his near-death experiences, his spiritual insights helped to mould and deeply influence his approach to politics, business, and life.

A trainer for the world-famous Monroe Institute, Paul lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and spends his time writing, teaching, and speaking throughout the United States and Canada on the phenomenon of near-death and out-of-body experiences.

  Virginia Beach friends of the
  INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION
FOR NEAR-DEATH STUDIES
Welcomes
Rev. Juliet Nightingale

Rev. Juliet Nightingale, of Toward The Light, will be speaking at the Virginia Beach IANDS meeting on Saturday, 6 September, from 10A-12N at the Association for Research & Enlightenment (A.R.E.), 215 67th Street, Virginia Beach.  Suggested donation at the door is $5, but no one will be turned away.  That afternoon, Juliet will conduct a workshop on Learning to Trust Intuitive Experiences and Telepathy from 1-3:30P at the same location.  The workshop will be an exploration of our consciousness as multi-dimensional beings.  This is an event you definitely won’t want to miss! The workshop is a $20 donation.

<<~>>

Toward The Light, www.TowardTheLight.org, is an organisation founded by Rev. Juliet Nightingale—a mystic and Seer from England—who has been through a number of near-death experiences, (NDEs), as a result of life-threatening illnesses since childhood. She’s also had many out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and spiritually transformative experiences (STEs)—all of which have had a profound and lasting effect on her life. Initially, however, she rarely spoke of them as a result of being grossly judged and misunderstood. In 1997 she joined the International Association for Near-Death Studies, (IANDS), and has, since, been able to share her experiences first hand, and has generated great interest and deepening awareness of the profundity of the NDE, OBE & STE in recent years.

Nightingale has been on two IANDS committees—Membership Chair and Friends Of IANDS (FOI) International Relations Committee. She’s also facilitated FOI NDE discussion/support groups in Nashville, Tennessee and different areas in New England—now holding ‘virtual’ and local meetings as Light On The Water (LOTW)—and being committed to generating a community of support for experiencers. She is passionate about her work in offering resources and support for NDErs and others who’ve had similar experiences … where they’ll find an abundance of resources, encouragement and amity with kindred spirits.

As a result of her deep convictions concerning near-death and similar experiences, Nightingale is very committed to helping to bring peace of mind to the masses via her organisation and weekly live radio programme.  She is the host of the ground-breaking radio show, Toward The Light, that broadcasts live every Sunday evening at 5P EDT/10P BST on BBSRadio.com.  The show is centred on the nature of consciousness and life continuum as revealed through near-death/out-of-body and other spiritually transformative experiences and related topics.  She features a stellar roster of special guests who are both experiencers and researchers in the realm of NDEs and more.

In recent years, Nightingale has availed herself to the media for the purpose of furthering study and research on these topics. She’s appeared on various radio programmes, TV, and in newspaper and magazine articles worldwide, as she discusses her experiences and knowledge of near-death/out-of-body experiences and the immortality of the soul. She has also written articles and given talks on these subjects—pointing out that ‘…We never really die; we simply shift from one realm to another—remaining totally conscious and alive, but in a different form. We never cease to be … and it is the destiny of every soul to return to the Light.’

Nightingale wants to help rid all fear of death and to also help people learn how to pierce the veil—that seems to separate us from those on the Other Side—and to show them that they can communicate directly with those they love and care about … who have crossed over. She is equally gifted working with animals and as a medium connecting with those who have crossed over. As a medium, she has helped many individuals connect with loved ones, friends and even pets who have crossed over … as well as having after-death communications (ADCs) with her own loved ones.
