Life can change in a minute, as Caroline Cumming knows.
One afternoon, her husband Gordon went for a routine procedure at their local hospital, but hours later, he was in a coma with a .5 per cent chance of survival.
Caroline was shocked. With Gordon on the brink of death, the only thing she could do was ask friends to pray and send healing thoughts.
Life can change in a minute, as Caroline Cumming knows.
One afternoon, her husband Gordon went for a routine procedure at their local hospital, but hours later, he was in a coma with a .5 per cent chance of survival.
Caroline was shocked. With Gordon on the brink of death, the only thing she could do was ask friends to pray and send healing thoughts.
What started as a prayer group expanded – even nursing staff joined in – and as word spread around the globe, loved ones and strangers alike witnessed Gordon’s unlikely trajectory back into this world.
After almost three weeks in a coma, Gordon made a full recovery. But his near death left Caroline asking ‘what really does happen after we die?’
Caroline brings some of her discoveries to a three-day conference in Melbourne in January.
The Afterlife Explorers Conference is the largest event of this kind held in Australia – three days with 26 presenters (including three of the world’s leading afterlife researchers: PMH Atwater, Anthony Peake and Robert Bruce).
Speakers will share knowledge related to life after death – often referred to as ‘survival research’ – to discuss whether consciousness survives physical death. Survival research involves many subcategories including paranormal activity; near death and out-of-body experiences; after-death communication; past life regression, Life Between Lives; and mediumship.
The aim of the conference is to bring evidence-based researchers and esoteric teachers together to discuss those big questions that Caroline found herself asking – do we have a soul that came from somewhere else and will return there after death? Are we reunited with our loved ones? If the death of our physical body is the end, wouldn’t life seem meaningless – would there be any real purpose?The conference is at the Shoppingtown Hotel in Doncaster, Melbourne from Friday, 29 January – Sunday, 31 January 2016.
