Life After Life
Ghost Whisperer, The Medium (programs created by Van Prague), and countless new television programs and other media are creating a renewed interest in communicating with those who have passed over. Not since the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century has there been such an interest in understanding. In that past renewal of interest the magicians tried to debunk psychic phenomena by recreating the perceived experience through magic tricks. Today the Amazing Randy has taken on the goal of debunking a reality that more and more are believing in order to create a career for himself. As we watch John Edward of Van Prague it becomes evident that we hunger to communicate with loved ones who have passed over. But even more evident is that those who have passed over often need to communicate with those who remain in this 4 dimensional reality that we call life. However, the real question is: Is there life after life?
There are many technical innovations that are being used to show energy traces and other examples that ghosts and spirits exist. Of course, the greatest feedback system to recognize those who have passed over are some interesting phenomena that all of us can train ourselves to recognize. Some people are extra sensitive and can receive these perceptions with more ease. Intuitives, empaths, mediums, shamans and so forth can help us contact those who have passed over. Many people approach a psychic because they have had a "feeling" that someone is near them that has passed over.
One of the best tools of the psychic detective is a camera. Since the early 1800s photography has been used to capture pictures of ectoplasm which is the word for the energy force that is the soul of a departed one.
My dear friend David’s wife Rene passed over from a long bout with lung cancer. Rene had been a psychic reader and counselor for more than 30 years and walked a spiritual path. At a wake David and Rene’s good friend Spiritual Guide GiGi (extension 449308)
a reader at Asknow.com, felt the presence of Rene. In a series of photographs snapped in immediate succession it was discovered after they were developed that at the time they were feeling the presence of Rene a unfolding of ectoplasm appeared over the group. Rene had returned to send healing love to those who were left behind, Spirit had reached from the other side to console those grieving loved ones with proof of life after life.
Some of the signs that a spirit is near you and wants to communicate can be diverse but a specific one is the feeling of coldness in the area that the spirit presence is located. If you saw the movie 6th Sense you will be able to understand this phenomenon better. Or there can be signs that the person is trying to connect with you with the appearance of various ways. In a recent reading that I did, a client was talking about a woman who had passed over and that she could feel her presence. I told her that I received the message that the sign of the butterfly was a message from this woman saying that all way well and she was content. The client burst out laughing. It turns out that when she and her significant other went to a country cabin in the mountains to do some maintenance and upkeep on departed loved one, they say a beautiful blue butterfly of a type they had never seen before. They had come to plant butterfly bushes to attract butterflies to the spot because the woman loved butterflies so much. As they saw the butterfly all they could do was burst into tears and hold each other. The renamed the little road to the cabin Butterfly Lane. There are always special connections between us and those who have passed over and these become our signs that our spirits are connecting with the departed and most importantly that they are connecting with us.
In the 70s I had an amazing experience as I was working with automatic writing. Automatic writing is when you relax and use your non-dominant hand to do spirit writing. As I went into a meditative state I asked who is here. My hand began to write on it’s own: Chad. Chad was the departed brother of my husband who had committed suicide and ever since I had moved to the house I had experienced horrible headaches and Chad had shot himself in the head. I asked: How can I tell for sure it is you? He wrote back: The money in the book on Napoleon. I told my husband about this and we went to Chad’s library where nothing had been disturbed since his death. We went through every dust covered book and in the whole collection was only one book about Napoleon and in it was a crisp new five dollar bill. We checked all the other books and there was no money to be found in any of them. Chad had reached out from the other side by using signs that were symbolic of his interests in life – he collected rare books and monies.
In the 70s I also did trance channeling. This is where the medium allows the spirit to come into her body to allow spirit to communicate directly with a loved one. As I relaxed I could feel the physical presence of this woman coming into my body. I could feel her pain and realized that she had physical disability. I could feel her pain but she came through to give a message to a person named Kiki. I did not know this name and had never really heard about it before. It turned out it was her special nickname for my client. The story gets more interesting. Two years later I was recruited to found a shelter for victims of domestic violence. A small program existed and it was called Serenity House. As I did the work necessary to write grants and develop funding I realized the original not-for-profit status of the organization had been improperly done and people could not write off donations the way that it was filed. As I looked at the original paper work, it revealed that the original founder of the group to help victims was this woman I had channeled two years before. So her messages in coming through was not only for my client but for me and time led me to create a shelter that is still helping victims today in Southeastern Ohio.
It is written that in an infinite universe we are all one. Perhaps our ability to connect with those who have passed over and for them to communicate with us is to let us know that truly we are all one and there is limitless hope for life after life. Remember for the caterpillar opening is an ending but to the butterfly it is the beginning of life.
