The Ageless Wisdom Teaching asserts that ‘humanity is One’. There are many ways of experiencing the truth of this profound fact, but one of the most important is tantalizingly close to being revealed to the world at large — the scientific demonstration of the existence of the etheric planes of matter.

After-death communication (ADC) experiences, just like near-death experiences, seem to move those who experience them in the direction of spiritual development, towards greater love and connectedness, and a sense of meaning and purpose and service to others.

This is a pivotal and tumultuous moment in the history of Iran.

One of the most common characteristics of near-death experiences (NDEs) is that those who experience them come back with knowledge and attitudes that, if adopted by all of humanity, would change our world into a very different place, a much better place.

Women in Iran have been subjected to a host of discriminatory laws and practices in both personal and public spheres. They are denied equal rights in matters of marriage, divorce, child custody, inheritance as well as in employment and political office. And while outnumbering men in higher education, they constitute only between 10-20 per cent of the labor force and earn less than 50 per cent for equal work. Yet despite the challenges and restrictions, women have continuously pushed against gender discrimination and have played a dynamic role in society.

In Britain in 2023, many are suffering from real, material poverty. Although still very wealthy, Britain has recently become more shamefully unequal. The pomp of the Coronation, the richly-dressed guests and the following celebration extravaganza party might recall the words of Maitreya: “where the rich parade their wealth before the poor”.

Although clean water is essential for human life, statistics indicate that we’re facing a global water crisis. A quarter of the world’s population lacks access to clean drinking water, and over 800,000 people die every year from diseases directly related to unsafe water or inadequate sanitation. Moreover, the impacts of climate change are exacerbating water problems everywhere. The World Meteorological Organization reports a 134 percent increase in floods since 2000 and a 29 per cent increase in drought duration.
