Hearing the Afterlife

Robert James Lees 1849-1931

January 25th, 2016 After a long break, we are finally back. As I type these lines, the world outside is in constant revolution, and power centers on Earth shift. Fitting this, the leatest addition to our list of movies delivers thrilling suspense as well as some truly heavenly images. Enjoy The Lovely Bones when you can. Besides this, adapting the books for recording will continue shortly. All else will fall into place when the time is right. Whoever is interested in messages from the other side of life regarding current affairs, may check out Montague Keen’s messages. For a while now, we have supported them with translations, and while not everybody may appreciate their urgency, they certainly contain vital information. June 22nd While summer made a cold and rainy start, there are still many things to organize and sort out around here. I keep finding interesting movies to do with the afterlife and am only too happy to pass on the good news - and even though they present very different aspects of what may be to come, they all seem to agree that Justice seems to be a common concept - one that is equally desirable and hard to find on Earth at the moment. The current addition to my list of viewing touches on that point in a humorous way. While I wouldn’t call it an outstanding movie, it’s good fun from time to time, certainyl woth viewing - and üresents some very poignant truths about the afterlife - as well as the current one. April 19th After a series of extremely demanding months, I finally find the time to take care of RJL project again. I am happy to say, that despite little actual progress, the project preconditions have improved a lot. After undertaking some necessary changes, like moving the studio to another location, I have come to the conclusion that financing RJL project may just not go at the speed I would want it to. Anyway, I haven’t played all my cards yet. Also, as I am always on the lookout for new movies for that section of the website, I was able to add Afterwards to the little collection there. It’s not actually a movie depicting the afterlife, but it surely touches the topic in an interesting way, putting some aspects of your existence here into much- needed  perspective. December 22nd Dear friends, in 2014, we have successfully established RJLproject. For 2015, we are about to set new goals. A very warm Thank You to all who supported us so far and know this work is a vital piece of a mosaic soon to fall into place for all of mankind. For now we wish you a Peaceful Christmas, a Happy New Year, and of course excellent and educational entertainment with our newest film tip: The Five People You Meet In Heaven With a beautiful cast around Jon Voight and Jeff Daniels, this 180 minutes long epic release from 2004 guides you through various aspects of a beginning afterlife. Highly recommended - worth every minute! For this year, RJLproject wishes you all the best, see you around in 2015 with more news and some serious progress.

November 16th

After a prolonged hiatus, here’s a brief news update, in which, frankly, there is very little for me to report. Donations and all else are very slow these days. Still, I wish to thank all of you who found it in their hearts to support the project financially. I have prepared for some clear and much faster progress in 2015, so I hope we will see the first artwork(s) and maybe even a brief sample of the first video book next year - which will then be used to fuel a crowd-funding campaign, which I hope will really get things moving. Some of you may be interested in the Near Death website, which explores a field closely related to RJLproject, though on a much more serious bases. For now I wish you many revelations in the weeks to come, and best of health.

First of all, a big thank you to Froilan and all the others who have been donating since the site was last updated. Your support is much appreciated, and not a penny of those donations has been spent so far! Once we have gathered enough for a first painting, we will give this initiative a more colorful outlook on things to come! Media-wise, I have decided to stay alert re. movies giving us some kind of vision of the afterlife. Twitter-followers have received this in our last tweet already: “Wings of Fame” is worth watching. It may be depicting certain aspects of karma in just the right way, though it certainly has its odd touches. Still, a movie with Peter O’Toole and a young Colin Firth, certainly worth a bit of my time.

August 6th

After a brief summer hiatus, quite some travelling and a lot of thinking, faced with the lack of incoming donations, I have decided to more actively move things forward. Promotions for this website have started yesterday, and if you wish to participate, but cannot spare, please support RJLproject with your activity: - Link to our start page on your website - Talk about RJLproject - Post it on Facebook - Get involved in one of the following activities, which are all totally free of charge, but can earn us some small, automated donations: - Get a Bicoin wallet (= account), for example with  MultiBit. - Login, watch advertisements or websites, gamble with the free bitcoins you are awarded for your activities  here,   here,   here  or   here. As you do this, RJLproject will be awareded a bonus for your earnings. While that isn’t much, it’s better than nothing. We have tested and verified those activities, and they are really all totally free of charge. Still, you may want to wipe possible cookies off your system afterwards with CCleaner. As for the advertisements for RJLproject I mentioned, I paid them out of my own pocket. Not a single donation to RJLproject will ever be used for this - they all go straight into the project, and nothing else. Besides, you have my word that once I come to unforeseen riches, I will happily support RJL with a generous donation. :) To put things into some perspective: The overall first phase of the project (recording of all three books in English, produce them nicely etc.) will cost around US$ 110,000.-. Donations so far are around US$ 80.- (no mistake). While I really appreciate all donations and warmly thank you for them, what we have doesn’t get us very far. This means you will be seeing more activity to get liftoff in the (hopefully) near future. Meanwhile, please consider the above Bitcoin options. Thank you and have a great rest of the summer! :) P.S.: On a lighter note, this video ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyn1OABA4vk ... may be of some interest to you.

More recommended viewing: In case you missed out on a few other movies regarding the subject of the afterlife, here are some. Descriptions taken from Amazon. Brief comments added. Hereafter The lives of a retired psychic, a French tsunami survivor and a London schoolboy intersect, forever changed by what they believe might - or must - exist in the hereafter. Worth seeing alone for the excellent acting of Matt Damon, also for having the courage to include the tsunami and London tube bombings in its plot. Nice to see also, how Clint Eastwood as a director has grown from “Dirty Harry” to strong, insightful movies. What Dreams May Come After Chris Nielsen dies in an accident, he tries to remain close to his beautiful mortal wife, Annie. With a friendly spirit assigned to guide him, he begins to adapt to his new state of being in a setting that can only be described as heavenly. An impressive cast and likewise impressive special effects make not only for some nice entertainment, but also include quite a bit of “heavenly” knowledge. Various tragic and dramatic elements make it a good, compelling movie, also for people not interested in the afterlife etc. Also touches the topic of reincarnation and soul-mates. Beautiful, colorful and touching. Heaven is For Real The true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son's extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world. Greg Kinnear (Todd Burpo) and Kelly Reilly (Sonja Burpo) portray the real-life couple whose son Colton (Connor Corum) claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth ... things he couldn't possibly know. I have yet to see it, will then edit this comment. From the trailer and info, it seems like it gives some powerful insights in what is to come in a beautiful way - I also like the cast, so I am looking forward to this a lot.

It’s been a while since we last updated - and here we go. After a 10-day visit to the US, we can happily report that the Bitcoin option is a well-accepted feature of this wehbsite. Even though we are still far from being able to start anything, it shows that there is an interest and willingness to support the subject. Thank you to all donators! One of the next steps will be to script an record our presentation video - and launch a first crowdfunding campaign. Also thanks to numerologist Michelle Arbeau (website) for her interest. Please remember to subscribe to our mailing list through the envelope on the left. Also, if you are interested in a link exchange, please let us know. We are currently preparing a page for this. Highly recommended viewing! The movie “Nosso Lar”, based on the work of Brazilian medium Chico Xavier is now also available in English and also German, titled “Astral City”. This is a year-long wish come true! We had contacted the publisher and offered to dub it into German, but it seems, somehow, this has been taken care of. Given all the information gathered so far, this seems to he a pretty good representation of the life that awaits.

This week, I heard the good news that, finally, somebody has built a “free energy” generator and is willing to share it with the world. I hope it’s true. More information can be found at this address: http://www.allegedlydave.com/blog.htm?article_id=5. RJLproject has seen mainly cosmetic changes this week, and a first test mailing was sent our through a new mailing platform, which gives the recipients more and easier control. We apologise if you received a mail you didn’t want. We’re getting better at this. You can now easily unsubscribe or let us know in an email. You can click on the envelope to the left to subscribe. Also, if you are interested in a link exchange, please let us know. We are currently preparing a page for this. Other than that, we received our first bitcoin donations! Thanks to you, wherever you are! :)

May 18th

Another week of slowly increasing public awareness for our project. On my ways through the internet, I came across many websites, for example that of Howard David Johnson. Click on the image to the left to take a look at more of his splendid art. Also, this week saw our first donation coming in! Thank you very much to Angela for this welcome boost! As you have already seen, we now accept Bitcoin donations as well! Please, also subscribe to our mailing list, spread the word and help RJLproject to really take off!

May 9th

Time for a (long overdue) update! As I am working my way through websites of healers, hypnotists, reiki practitioners, psychics, counsellors, coaches, communities, producers and salespeople in my search of people to support RJLproject, I get a feeling for how much society has already transformed, and that spirituality is on the verge of becoming not only a short-lived “mainstream” phenomenon, but a common, accepted and naturally required way of life. Good show! The past weeks have seen some upgrades to my working and living environment, as well as constant progress in the project and rising access figures on this website. Keep it up, everybody! As will we. P.S.: Accompanying this update is another of Christine’s beautiful pictures.

April 28th

We have first signs that our website is coming to life. As we keep sending out information about our project, as was to be expected, initial reactions would be slowish. Still, we managed to achieve a spike of interest towards the week-end after the first batch of mails, with visitors from the U.S., Australia and Austria as well as the usual robots. Please keep spreading the word, as we will keep informing more people about what we want to achieve.

April 22nd

Only briefly after I sent out a first batch of emails in order to make RJL project known, I started receiving answers  - and a lot friendlier ones than I had anticipated! Christine Dennett even attached pictures she painted, which I found amazingly beautiful, and one of which you can see to the left. You can visit one of her websites under kesaralight.weebly.com. Other than that, I keep sending out emails to find more supporters. Welcome also to all who started following on Twitter! More good news hopefully later this week.

April 16th

For those among you who absolutely cannot wait to support us, I have added a PayPal button to the website. Other than that, the last two weeks have seen me scouting for addresses to send a mailing to in the hopes that it will be well-received and we will start getting some traffic onto this site. Before that isn’t the case, there’s no point in starting a fundraiser. So, please tell everybody and let’s begin making a difference! Also, there is now  an additional page  on this site, containing a text sample for those who haven’t read Robert James Lees’ books yet. Addendum, Apr. 17th: The start page now also contains a “QR code” you can scan with smartphone etc. It merely contains the website address - every little bit helps. :)

April 3rd

Everything is proceeding. Made minor updates to this website and another tweet - well, to three followers. Have received more cost estimates, and have simplified the structure of production and rewards considerably. This has required more work than anticipated, but it has definitely moved into the right direction and is now complete. Work on the script of “Through the Mists” has also continued, and I am thinking a lot about the presentation video and the next steps. I have begun building a mailing list of people and groups I will make the project known to, hoping they are the right ones to address.

March 29th

We are online! Please check back for updates. Also, should you find something wrong or not working, please let us know.

March 27th

We now have a Twitter account. If you wish to follow us, please use this address: @RJL_project. Other than that, this website is nearing web-readiness. We hope to have it online on the following week-end. By then, more work on the script of “Through the Mists” has been done, too. mid-march, 2014 After speaking with post-production, recording studio and “my guys” here at the studio, I have set out again - and found an illustrator I find entirely suited to do the title design and “video book” imagery. His name is Michael Meier, and you can visit his website. The image seen on the left I am particularly fond of, and I am 100% certain, after a lengthy phone conversation with him, that he is the right person for the job. On the side, I have begun spending the evenings reading “Through the Mists” again, and marking it up a) for turning it into a useable audio script and b) for finding descriptions that Michael can turn into his magnificent drawings. I hope to hear back soon from the studio in London, so I can finalize my plannings, and pass on to the next big step: the presentation and video for the main fundraiser. A big thank-you to all the good souls who so far crossed my way and helped, not the least of which is Stephen Butt of www.rjlees.co.uk/.

Hamburg, Germany, early March, 2014

I have now started preparing for the project itself, i.e. clarify what it is we want to do, started doing spreadsheets for different parts of the project. Am still waiting for external estimates to make things clearer. Since it will require some money to do everything I have in mind, I have decided to slice it up. The very basic goal will be to record “Through the Mists” with a single narrator. Should people find it in their hearts to give us more support, we will do all three books, maybe even “The Heretic”, then what I call “video books”, then actual new print version with all the imagery to be created for the video book version - and all of this intertwined with rewards for our supporters. This work is advanced, still it needs some tweaking.

Dominican Republic, February 2014

Among all the troubles I experience as member of a group that just doesn’t work the way this old world would like us to, I have both been cursed and blessed. Blessed, for I have the conciousness to realize the change required, and at the same moment cursed, for what can a single man do? Unlike the heroes of many tales and movies, all one can do is try to live a decent life, follow one’s inspiration, let the heart decide what to do. For the second time in the last years, I feel that I want to use the talents I have been blessed with to spread the good word - in this case produce recordings of Robert James Lees’ trilogy of books describing the afterlife. I wonder why that has not been done before ... After my considerations, and despite the critical situation there, I decide to leave my island home, family and friends, to live as a hermit in Hamburg, Germany, deal with my aspirations, sort out a number of things and begin working on RJL project.

Millions of words could be written to explain why we are doing this project - but is that really necessary? The modern vision of death and the afterlife - despite thousands proving it wrong - still is one of uncertainty, for some even fear and despair. Robert James Lees, noted spiritist of his time, wrote down messages and entire books, which were given to him from the realm some of us call “Heaven”. His descriptions are clear, his explanations logical, and his message one of trust and joy - giving positive meaning to our lives and the great beyond. So vibrant and powerful are his messages, that sitting on a cloud playing the harp seems dull in comparison. ;) Yet very few people seem to be listening. Thus we have made it our goal to produce audio versions (and hopefully more) of some of his work and make them available and accessible to a much wider audience - free of any cost to the consumer. Our goal is clear: Reform the general view of “death” and the afterlife, make way for a positive vision of why we are here, and what change we are going through when we depart. For this, we ask your support. Spread the word, join us, support us. For only together, we will shape a better world. - The RJL project team

Michael’s wonderful work
