Introduction to AREI by R. Craig Hogan, PhD, President

Documented Proof of the Life After This Life

AREI has published the results of its five-years of research to identify the most compelling evidence of life after death. The result is the report published in the book Best Evidence Beyond a Reasonable Doubt You Will Never Die (Greater Reality Publications, October 31, 2021).

The evidence focuses narrowly on verified evidence from reliable sources that people whose bodies have died have communicated to people on earth who knew them well. The only evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that humans survive bodily death is communication from people whose bodies have died that is received and understood by individuals still on earth who certify without doubt that the communication is from the person they knew.

Four Books Explaining Who We Are in Eternity

Four books by R. Craig Hogan, PhD, president of the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc., together explain what we know today about the nature of reality, our purpose in this life, and what happens when we leave this life. The books contain explanations of these six important truths:

  1. Your Mind is not produced by or contained in your brain. Your Mind doesn’t need a body or a brain.
  2. Your Mind is an individual manifestation of the Universal Mind all people are part of—we are all one Mind.
  3. Our one Universal Mind creates the world we live in
  4. Our Individual Minds continue to live after the body ceases to function.
  5. There is nothing but Mind and experiences. We experience the world, but the world does not exist outside of our Minds and experiences.
  6. We have a purpose in Earth School and can live in love, joy, and peace while we fulfill our purpose.

The publisher is Greater Reality Publications, a subsidiary of the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc. 

Answers to Life’s Enduring Questions: From Science Discoveries and Afterlife Messages is an easy-to-read summary of the contents of the other three books, meant for people who want the perspectives, but not the detailed explanations and evidence.

Your Eternal Self: Science Discovers the Afterlife, developed and updated from the book Your Eternal Self, contains the evidence your mind is not in your brain, we are one mind, and you continue to live after the body dies.

Available on Amazon

There Is Nothing but Mind and Experiences explains that the basis of reality is mind. We have experiences in our minds. In this book, you will learn why we know that is true and what that means for your life in Earth School.

Reasons for What  Happens in Your Life & Your Afterlife: From Speakers in the Afterlife explains what happens to a person through the major stages: deciding to enter Earth School, learning to succeed in Earth School, growing in love, compassion, and understanding, and living in the life after the Earth School life.

Psychotherapist-Guided Afterlife Connections

Grief therapy is acknowledged to be ineffective in having an impact on the person’s grief. However, three forms of grief therapy are dramatically effective in reducing grief and teaching the client about the nature of life in the next life and their place in eternity. The three are helping clients have afterlife communication for the people they love who have transitioned to the next life.

Jane Bissler, PhD
LPC-S, FT

Loving Hearts Connections

The psychoanalyst conducts sessions using free online video-conferencing. They last for approximately 90 minutes. After the psychotherapist performs the procedure, she teaches participants how to use it on their own to continue having connections. The procedure is based on scientific research and known psychotherapeutic methods. The first test on the protocol showed that 17 of 18 participants had successful personal connections that they testified were very real and heartfelt to them.

Repair & Reattachment Grief Therapy

The method helps clients communicate with loved ones for whom they are grieving. The psychotherapist uses bilateral stimulation to help the client enter a state in which afterlife communications occur. It is successful with 98% of the clients who experience it, and the clients’ grief reduces from high scores of 10 and 10 plus plus plus on a 10-point score for the disturbance of thoughts about the deceased loved one to 0, 1, or 2 in a single session.

Induced After-Death Communication

This procedure uses eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to bring the client into a state of mind to have the afterlife connection. It requires a state psychotherapy license and EMDR certification. Success in the early studies was 70% of clients having an afterlife connection. Success in one more recent study was 75% of clients.

AREI YouTube Videos

You Will Never Die ~ Evidence from Instrumental Transcommunication

People living in the next life are communicating to loved ones living on earth using recordings, television, and radio.  This video presents the recordings by two of the primary researchers in the field. The clear, articulate voices are proof you will never die.

You Will Never Die ~ Evidence from Materialization Mediumship

This video is the second of 15 videos containing the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that you will never die. It contains recordings of three people who materialized in seances and spoke to people who knew them.

You Will Never Die ~ Evidence from Direct Voice

This video is the first of 15 videos containing the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that you will never die. It contains recordings of three people whose bodies are dead, but they are very much alive.

The Brain Is Superfluous

The mind functions without the brain, so the brain is just part of the scenery of the Earth realm. People do fine with no brain. This video provides the proof that people function perfectly well with little or no brain. That results in the conclusion that brain is superfluous.

AREI’s Mission

The Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc., (AREI) was founded to help change humankind to be move loving and compassionate by supporting the researchers and educators who are enabling people to communicate with loved ones in the afterlife.

Proof of the Afterlife from Eyewitness Accounts

We now have proof of the afterlife from voice and image recordings of people living there, evidential descriptions from people who have learned to communicate with the afterlife. This contains the audio and video of the proof.

Abortion: A Spiritual Understanding that Is Not Religious

The spiritual beings we are cannot be harmed by ending the development of a fetus. This video explains how understanding who we are spiritually can end the discord and violence over abortion.

There Is No Veil

Humankind has been endeavoring to lift the veil between this world and the next, believing the veil now is impenetrable and is keeping us from communicating with loved ones living there. However, there is no veil. There never was a veil.

The Mind Is Not in the Brain

Even though society today teaches that the mind is in the brain and memories are stored in the brain, the evidence shows the mind is not created by the brain, is not housed in the brain, and does not use the brain to function in the material realm.

How to Record Voices of People in the Afterlife

In this video, Sheri walks you through the steps necessary to set up your computer to record EVPs. Sheri believes that it is possible for anyone who is coming from a place of sincerity to record voices using the same method she is using, which is based on Sonia Rinaldi’s work.

There Is Nothing but Mind and Experiences

 This video explains why we know there is nothing but mind and experiences. We are creating the earth realm, so we can make this plane of life loving and compassionate, without suffering and disease. We just have to create it to be what we want it to be.

Evidence Beyond a Reasonable Doubt You Will Never Die

R. Craig Hogan, PhD

This book contains the compelling evidence that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that you will live on after your body dies. It includes transcripts of people speaking from the life after this life and links to the audio recordings so you can listen yourself. It includes additional accounts of afterlife communication that are compelling because they reveal the person in spirit is alive.

Reasons for What Happens to You In Your Life and Your Afterlife

R. Craig Hogan, PhD

This book contains 570 citations, most of which are statements from people living in the life after this life, telling us the reasons for what happens to us in our life and our afterlife. This book explains why we have chosen the life we are living, what our purpose is in this life, how we can live in love, peace, and joy, what happens at the transition from this life, and what life is like in the realm we all enter after leaving earth.

Your Eternal Self: Science Discovers the Afterlife

R. Craig Hogan, PhD

Read this book with an open mind and you will be convinced by the scientific evidence of the life after this life. This book challenges the assumptions most of us learned as we grew up. If you follow the evidence keeping an open mind, you will come to the same conclusion a vast body of scientists, philosophers, theologians, researchers, and other scholars have come to today: we are spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience.

There Is Nothing but Mind and Experiences

R. Craig Hogan, PhD

Everything in the physical world is made out of atoms. Atoms are made out of energy. And energy is made out of consciousness. This book shows what reality is made of, how we participate in creating this reality, and how we can create a reality full of love, peace, and joy. Matter and energy do not create Mind. Mind creates matter and energy.

Repair & Reattachment Grief Counseling

Rochelle Wright, MA, and R. Craig Hogan, PhD

AREI’s Leading Role in the Consciousness Revolution

AREI’s support for afterlife and afterlife communication researchers and educators is playing a leading role in the consciousness revolution. Humanity is coming to realize our consciousness is eternal, not destined to die with the body. And scientists and philosophers are coming to realize that consciousness is the basic source of all matter, energy, and forces.

The Hindu god Shiva is portrayed standing on the back of an Asur demon called Apasmara, representing ignorance. Shiva stands on Apasmara to keep the demon from overwhelming humanity with ignorance. But Shiva knows not to kill Apasmara, because there must be a balance of knowledge and ignorance in the world. The message is that we live in a world full of ignorance, but we are allowed to learn the secrets life. We are not intended to be ignorant. All we must do is avail ourselves of the knowledge freely given to us. The searching, learning, and discovering we involve ourselves in are the plan for our lives.

President Craig Hogan’s Address to the Torino, Italy, Marcello Bacci Conference

The Afterlife Research and Education Institute, in collaboration with Italian associations “ArtInMovimento,” Torino, and “IF,” Como, held a conference for the benefit of the well-known former ITC explorer Marcello Bacci, at the Congress Hall of Cascina Marchesa, Torino-Italy on April 6, 2019.
The title was Your Inner Self: Utopia, Institution, and Science. Topics of this conference were Spiritual Care for the Dying, The Power and Potency of Music, Empathic Relationships, and Reliability between Soul and Mind. Speakers were Craig Hogan, Daniela Muggia, Giovanni Occhipinti, Margherita De Palmas, Maurizio Scarpa, Vigilio Maule, Imma Lucà (IF president), Donatella Bardesano, Cesare Zanoni, and ArtInMovimento president, Annunziato Gentiluomo.
Bacci, of Gosseto, Italy, is an unassuming, humble man who was given the gift of being able to connect people with their loved ones in the afterlife through an ordinary tube radio. Bacci began to dial in spirit voices through his vacuum tube radio in the 1960s. Since then, he has brought through thousands of people in the afterlife to converse with their loved ones who come to his modest home hoping to make the connection. Today, Bacci is totally retired because of severe illness and living in impoverished conditions. We are asking people who understand the groundbreaking work he was doing to help him now.

Online Physical Mediumship Experimental Group

The Zoom physical mediumship circle meets online. Each member darkens the room in his or her home or office and we all join together in singing to raise the vibration. That is the protocol physical mediumship circles follow when meeting in a physical location. We invite anyone to join in to see what happens for you and the circle. We anticipate that these online circles may help physical and trance mediums emerge so the online circle produces phenomena or the mediums can form their own circles in their location.

The circle meetings are available to members. We invite you to join. We have downloads of the session recordings for circle members to listen to and watch. The videos are at this link: Zoom circle recordings.
