Two wonderful books to read are Russell and The Russell connection. Written by gwen byrne . Gwen is Russells mum. She tells in very simple words how Russell died at age 9 and 3/4 from leukemia. She tells of how she was reunited with Russell 20 years after his death . She held him , talked to him and saw him on many occasions in what is known as The Rita Goold experiment. You can read of this on the Internet. Her story is true, I know of this lady she is genuine and wants the world to know we live on after what we call death. Please do read these books . There were also tape recordings made during the experiment and I'm lucky enough to have four recordings done in 1984. You can hear Russell talking , singing and telling his mum how much more alive he is and of the world known as spirit .

Insulting post to someone who has made a genuine effort to members who are interested - maybe 'you' should have a lie down in a darkened room ......

God, you must be a joy to live with, Patsy !
Get a sense-of-humour transplant - or at the very least, lighten up and stop being so eager to attack anybody who already has one.

That said, I found Realist's post well-expressed and thought-provoking.
For me though, I remain unconvinced about the existence of any ongoing soul/spirit.
I reckon that Realist has merely stated the obvious - that the physical body 'recycles'.

.... you rarely post ............

Quality rather than quantity, dear.

Nowt wrong with my sense of humour and I am a joy to live with - you wouldn't know about my thriving humour,

I've always been of the opinon that self-praise always comes second best to the real thing and "patsies" often attack cause they feel picked on?
