Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

This week I'm talking to JM DeBord about his book 'The Science of the Paranormal: The Truth Behind Telepathy, ESP, Reincarnation, and More Mysterious Phenomena'. Discover the truth behind ESP, paranormal powers, and psychic abilities—the perfect gift for curious minds and bold scientists alike. Some paranormal phenomena and powers of the mind are real, but mainstream science dismisses it all as fantasy. The Science of the Paranormal looks toward the overwhelming evidence that something weird and wild lies behind our everyday reality. Credible witnesses have seen paranormal activity with their own eyes. Scientists have studied it in their labs. And everyday we see depictions of it in popular media like Stranger Things and X-Men. Separate fact from fiction in this book and get answers to questions like: Can objects be moved with psychokinesis? Is the future foreseeable? Can we communicate telepathically? What does science say about ESP? Where is the evidence for reincarnation and spirits? Bio Known online as RadOwl, he’s published over 25,000 dream interpretations at r/dreams — Reddit’s largest dreaming community, which he’s led as head moderator since 2014. No other public record of dream expertise comes close. He’s the author of DREAMS 1-2-3: Three Steps to Interpret Dreams — the most complete modern guide to dream interpretation — plus The Dream Interpretation Dictionary, RadOwl’s Crash Course, and The Science of the Paranormal. Recognized by the International Association for the Study of Dreams. Former dream expert-in-residence at Canyon Ranch Spa. Featured in The Guardian and a recurring guest on Coast to Coast AM. He built the DREAMS 1-2-3 method to give anyone a practical system for decoding what their mind is actually saying at night. Because your dreams are telling you something — and once you know how to listen, everything changes. https://dreams123.net/ https://jmdebord.com/ https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/dreamsthatshapeus/ https://www.amazon.com/Science-Paranormal-Reincarnation-Mysterious-Phenomena/dp/1510778160 Zen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode I'm talking to Walter Semkiw. Walter is the author of the book 'Born Again' Dr. Semkiw is a Board Certified Occupational Medicine physician who practices at a major medical center in San Francisco, where he served as the Assistant Chief of Occupational Medicine.  Previously, he served as Medical Director for Unocal 76, a Fortune 500 oil company. Walter embarked on reincarnation research in 1995 and he is the author of Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited, which was published in 2003.  In this book, a cohort reincarnated from the time of the American Revolution is identified.  Former President Bill Clinton wrote, regarding Revolutionaries, “It looks fascinating,” and neurosurgeon Norm Shealy, MD, PhD, wrote “For the survival of humanity, this is the most important book written in 2000 years.” Walter is also the author of Born Again, which is available in the US, India, Indonesia and Serbia (2006 version). In this book, independently researched reincarnation cases with evidence of reincarnation are compiled with a focus on the work of Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia.  Cases derived through world famous trance medium Kevin Ryerson, who has been featured in Shirley MacLaine's books, are also presented.  Born Again has received widespread media attention in India and Walter was featured on CNN in March 2006. An expanded international edition of Born Again (2011), which summarizes key reincarnation cases with evidence of past lives, is available as an E-Book, as well as in a printed version. Born Again has been commented on by the former President of India, Abdul Kalam, and by Shah Rukh Kahn, one of India’s greatest film and television stars. Walter has also penned Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of Reincarnation.  Whereas Return of the Revolutionaries and Born Again present cases which demonstrate objective evidence of reincarnation, Origin of the Soul addresses the big picture of why we reincarnate and the nature of the spiritual world. Walter has presented at the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE), an academic group that pioneer reincarnation researcher Ian Stevenson, MD cofounded.  Walter spent a day with Dr. Stevenson in 2001 and Dr. Stevenson personally sponsored Walter's membership in the SSE. Walter is an advocate of Ian Stevenson's past lives research. Dr. Semkiw has been a speaker at the first four World Congresses for Regression Therapy, held in the Netherlands, India, Brazil and Turkey.  He has appeared on CNN and in Newsweek, as well as numerous other television and radio shows, including Coast to Coast.  He has been cited on numerous occasions in the Times of India, which has the largest circulation of any English language newspaper in the world. Walter has been selected as one of Who's Who Professionals of the Year for 2016. In sum, Dr. Semkiw is an expert in reincarnation research, particularly reincarnation cases which demonstrate objective evidence of reincarnation. https://reincarnationresearch.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Jesses Bering about his book 'The Incredible Afterlives of Dr. Stevenson: One Scientist's Epic Quest for Evidence of Reincarnation, Apparitions, Poltergeists, and Other Matters of the Soul' The untold story of an iconoclastic scientist: a psychiatrist who dedicated his career to documenting consciousness after death. While Ian Stevenson (1918–2007) was an academic psychiatrist with a serious demeanor, right down to his three-piece suits and wingtip shoes, he made his name researching an unusual topic for a behavioral scientist: the afterlife. For over four decades, Stevenson traveled the globe investigating cases of reincarnation, apparitions, possessions, and near-death experiences. At the time of his death, Stevenson was widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in parapsychology, a field devoted to psychic phenomena and paranormal experiences. Set against the colorful backdrop of parapsychology’s rise and fall, from Victorian séances to modern media spectacles, The Incredible Afterlives of Dr. Stevenson captures Stevenson’s relentless quest for evidence of consciousness beyond the grave. Jesse Bering, himself a psychologist, interweaves Stevenson’s research with vivid stories of the larger-than-life characters who shaped his path—from Eileen Garrett, the fearless medium, to Chester Carlson, the inventor of Xerox photocopying and Stevenson’s unlikely patron. Through never-before-seen letters and candid interviews with Stevenson’s surviving family members, readers glimpse the inner turmoil of a scientist struggling to balance his revolutionary ideas with the skepticism of his academic peers as well as those closest to him. Along the way, Bering, a researcher whose own trailblazing work on the psychology of afterlife beliefs had led him to believe it was all just an illusion, is forced to rethink his own worldview. Are psychic phenomena examples of our living brains giving credence to the absurd? Or tantalizing glimmers of life after death? Equal parts scientific detective story and intimate biography, The Incredible Afterlives of Dr. Stevenson shines a light on a significant figure whose life and work have not yet been fully explored. Bering boldly confronts readers with the complicated legacy of a man who many see as a Galileo-like rebel with groundbreaking ideas, ones that still have the power to upend everything we know about what it means to be human. Bio Jesse Bering is an experimental psychologist and a leading scholar in the cognitive science of religion. He is also an essayist and science writer specializing in evolution and human behavior. His first book, The Belief Instinct (W. W. Norton, 2011), was included in the American Library Association’s Top 25 Books of the Year and voted one of the “11 Best Psychology Books of 2011” by The Atlantic. This was followed by a collection of his Webby-award nominated essays, Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That?, and Perv, a taboo-breaking work that received widespread critical acclaim and was named as a New York Times Editor’s Choice. His most recent book was A Very Human Ending. Bering’s writings have been translated into many different languages and reviewed in The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and many other outlets. He has also been featured in numerous documentaries and radio programs, including Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman, Conan, Chelsea Lately, Q&A (Australia), and NPR’s All Things Considered. Bering is Director of the Centre for Science Communication at the University of Otago. He lives in Dunedin, New Zealand with his partner, Juan, and their two cheeky border terriers, Hanno and Kora. https://www.jessebering.com https://www.amazon.co.uk/Incredible-Afterlives-Dr-Stevenson-Reincarnation-ebook/dp/B0GK2W68Z7 Zen AI  bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I talk about the remarkable reincarnation case of William George Sr, one of the best-known cases from the Tlingit people of south-eastern Alaska. William George Sr was a fisherman who, before his death, reportedly told his son and daughter-in-law that if reincarnation was real, he would return as their child. He also gave them signs by which he could be recognised. He pointed to distinctive marks on his left shoulder and left forearm and said that if he came back, the child would have similar marks in the same places. He also left behind a gold watch, asking that it be kept for him. A few weeks later, William George Sr disappeared from his fishing boat. Soon afterwards, his daughter-in-law became pregnant and later gave birth to a boy, William George Jr. The child was found to have marks on his left shoulder and left forearm, in the places his grandfather had indicated. Around the time of the birth, the mother also reported a vivid dream or vision of William George Sr, an experience that fits the pattern of what are often called announcing dreams. As William George Jr grew, relatives noticed further details that seemed to connect him with his grandfather. He showed an early familiarity with boats and fishing nets, yet also had a fear of water. He reportedly used family terms as if he were speaking from the position of William George Sr, and he later claimed the old man’s gold watch as his own. This episode tells the story of the case. It considers the prediction, the birthmarks, the dream, the behaviour and the family context, asking whether the case points toward reincarnation, cultural expectation, inherited memory, or something that remains difficult to explain.

This week I'm talking to Tricia Barker about her book 'Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation' Tricia Barker was a depressed, agnostic college student at The University of Texas in Austin...until a profound near-death experience (NDE) during surgery revolutionizes her entire world. As she learns to walk again, Tricia lets go of painful wounds from childhood and integrates some of the aftereffects of her spiritual journey into her daily life. She returns to college with renewed vigor, intending to embark on a new path by becoming an English teacher. But after a year of teaching in the US, Tricia travels to South Korea, where she is the victim of a sexual assault. Now, she must use the wisdom she gained on the Other Side to heal herself; and later, guide countless junior high, high school, and college students to greater peace. Through teaching and mentoring others--many of whom are struggling with traumas of their own--Tricia decides to devote her life to bringing the "light" she experienced during her NDE to individuals who are seeking solace, inspiration, and overall well-being. Bio Tricia Barker experienced a profound near-death experience during her senior year of college, and this experience guided her to teach overseas, in public schools, and at the college level.  Her near-death experience story has been featured on I Survived:  Beyond and Back, Season 1, Life to Afterlife: Death and Back, National Geographic Magazine, Simple Grace Magazine, Women’s World Magazine, Coast to Coast AM, GAIA, WFAA, and The Doctor Oz Show.   Tricia’s memoir, Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation, is available as an e-book, paperback, and through Audible. Tricia is a graduate of The University of Texas. She received her MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. She is a professor, author, medium, and theta healer. Tricia also interviews other near-death experiencers, researchers, healers, spiritual teachers, and mediums on her YouTube Channel. https://triciabarkernde.com/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Angels-Taught-Healing-Survival-Transformation-ebook/dp/B07NGQZSHL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIstVbBhilo1gdUmazkReQ?view_as=subscriber Zen AI   bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal   https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode I am reading from Michelle Brooks' book 'Proof Beyond the Grave: Real Accounts. Real Memories. Real Continuation.' What if there is evidence that this is all real? Proof Beyond the Grave brings the journey into reality through compelling true stories and documented accounts that challenge conventional beliefs about life and death. From detailed past-life memories to unexplained knowledge and experiences, these cases present a powerful question: could consciousness continue beyond the physical body? This book does not ask for blind belief—it presents information that invites you to decide for yourself. The journey ends here… Or perhaps, it begins again. Bio Michelle has spent much of her life drawn toward the questions that resist easy answers. Not the kind of questions that dissolve when you look at them directly, but the kind that grow larger the longer you sit with them. What is consciousness, and where does it go? What are we carrying that we did not pick up in this life? What does it mean that so many people, in so many places, have described the same impossible thing? She did not come to this subject through formal academic credentials or institutional affiliation. She came to it the way most honest inquiry begins: through personal experience, through encounters she could not explain, and through a refusal to dismiss what she could not yet understand. That refusal led her deeper. Into the documented research. Into the case files. Into the work of the researchers who spent careers looking at the evidence and telling the truth about what they found, including the parts that did not resolve. Proof Beyond the Grave is the result of years of gathering, reading, verifying, and reflecting. It is an attempt to bring the most rigorous and compelling evidence in this field to readers who deserve more than vague assurances and less than impossible promises. Every case cited in these pages is real. Every researcher named can be looked up. Every claim can be checked. Michelle lives with the open question, as all honest explorers of this territory must. She does not believe the evidence demands certainty. She believes it demands attention. Her hope is that this book gives you a reason to pay it.

This week I am talking to Robin Foy. Robin was one of the team who took part in The Scole Experiment looking into physical mediumship. The Scole Experiment is now widely regarded as the most important scientific investigation of evidence for life after death in history. Highly-qualified and objective scientists, and a whole range of other people who attended the Scole Group's sessions, came away convinced that (mostly) invisible, discarnate intelligences were making direct contact with those present. Robin and Sandra Foy both have 39 years intensive experience of witnessing physical mediumship and physical phenomena. As well as being involved in a series of their own home circles to develop phenomena over the years with varying results, they have also had the opportunity to sit with a number of physical mediums, many of whom are (or were) well known in this field. Through their long involvement, they have gained extensive knowledge and experience of the different ways in which physical phenomena can be produced by the spirit teams attached to various circles, mediums and groups. This is knowledge they would like to share with other dedicated groups and serious researchers. The crowning glory of their experiences to date is their involvement in the now famous 'Scole Experiment' which took place at their home in Scole over a 5-year period in the 1990's. During this period, Robin and Sandra were able to witness no less than 1,000 hours of physical phenomena in their 'Scole Experimental Group', where their two physical medium friends, Diana and Alan Bennett remained in deep trance throughout their experimental sessions. Robin Foy was the Co-Founder of the ISM Home Circle Link in the 1980's and the Founder of the Noah's Ark Society in 1990. He remained its chairman until September 1994. In 1992, he was Co-Founder of the Scole Experimental Group and, later, of the New Spiritual Science Foundation. The group demonstrated physical phenomena to the public (and to scientific investigators who were senior members of the SPR -Society for Psychical Research) in the UK, in Ibiza, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland (Eire) as well as in California (USA) In 1996, Robin published his first book - In Pursuit of Physical Mediumship (Janus Publishing Co Ltd) His Latest Book - Witnessing the Impossible - was published a while ago (Torcal Publications 2008), and is the only complete record of every sitting of the Scole Experimental Group. https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I explore one of the most unusual and carefully investigated reincarnation cases of the twentieth century: the case of Uttara Huddar. In 1974, Uttara, a thirty-two-year-old woman from Nagpur, Maharashtra, began to speak and behave as someone else. This second personality called herself Sharada. She spoke Bengali, dressed as a married Bengali woman, followed Bengali customs, and appeared confused by modern life. What made the case so striking was that Uttara came from a Marathi-speaking family and was not known to be fluent in Bengali. Sharada described a previous life in Bengal during the early nineteenth century. She gave details of her family, her marriage, the places she had lived, and her death from a cobra bite while picking flowers. Her story included names of relatives, references to villages, religious customs, and family connections that investigators later attempted to verify. The case involved responsive xenoglossy, the apparent ability to converse in a language not learned in the normal way. Sharada did not simply repeat phrases; Bengali-speaking witnesses reported that she could answer questions, hold conversations and use older forms of Bengali. This episode looks closely at the investigation, the verifiable details, and why the Uttara Huddar case remains one of the strongest and most fascinating examples in the literature on reincarnation. https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode I'm talking to William Peters about the Shared Crossing Project The Shared Crossing Project’s mission is to positively transform relationships to death and dying through education and raising awareness about shared crossings and their healing benefits. We aim to bring people together in community to support open exploration and discussion of this important topic in a safe place. Bio William is a licensed psychotherapist and is the Founder of the Shared Crossing Project. He has developed a series of leading-edge programs that introduce audiences to a broad assortment of experientially based curricula and practices. These programs focus on preparation for a conscious, connecting, and loving end-of-life experience, and they invite exploration of the topic of life after death. Some of these workshops also impart a series of protocols intended to initiate shared death experiences and other beneficial shared crossing phenomena. William teaches clinical methods to guide end-of-life practitioners in assisting their clients in meaningful integration of their end-of-life experiences. As the Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), William and his research team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences (shared crossings).  He is recognized by many as the world’s leading authority on the shared death experience (SDE) having developed research-based typologies that classify the full range of SDEs. He also created the Spectrum of End-of-Life Experiences, a user-friendly guide to assist the dying, caregivers and health care professionals in navigating and understanding phenomena that can manifest at end of life.   William conducts workshops and presents internationally. He recently presented at the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Annual Conference. His innovative work has been featured on CNN Online among other media outlets. William’s book entitled At Heaven’s Door:  What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better was published worldwide by Simon & Schuster in January 2022. William continues his practice as a licensed psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute in Santa Barbara, specializing in end-of-life counseling as a means toward psycho-spiritual evolution. William has served as a Zen Hospice volunteer and his work is informed by his two near-death experiences and a variety of shared death experiences. https://www.sharedcrossing.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Greg Halpern about his near death experiences. Bio Greg Halpern is a Chicago-based judo world champion, serial entrepreneur, and survivor of thirteen near-death experiences that have profoundly shaped his life, worldview, and sense of purpose. His first near-death experience occurred at the age of five, following a post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage. As he recalls, the trauma carried him into what felt like an infinite expanse of warm, radiant light, where a powerful voice instructed him to return because there was still work for him to do. Over the years, Halpern came to view each subsequent near-death experience not merely as an encounter with mortality, but as part of a larger process: a series of extraordinary events that, in his view, cleared his mind and prepared him to receive a deeper understanding of his mission. By the time of his twelfth near-death experience in 2005, when exposure to chlorine gas from a pool canister seared his lungs and throat, Halpern had developed an unusual relationship with survival. Rather than expecting death, he had come to believe that each crisis carried meaning and direction. His thirteenth near-death experience proved to be the most consequential. After a ruptured appendix was misdiagnosed as food poisoning for three days, Halpern underwent a six-hour surgery for advanced peritonitis. During his recovery, a fatal over-medication caused him to flatline in his hospital bed. What he says he encountered in that moment was both haunting and urgent: a vision of global destruction centered around the year 2023, accompanied by a message that he had waited too long to share information he believed could change the world. https://greghalpernlives.com/ https://patriotinnercircle.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode I am reading from JM DeBord's book ''The Science of the Paranormal: The Truth Behind Telepathy, ESP, Reincarnation, and More Mysterious Phenomena'. Discover the truth behind ESP, paranormal powers, and psychic abilities—the perfect gift for curious minds and bold scientists alike. Some paranormal phenomena and powers of the mind are real, but mainstream science dismisses it all as fantasy. The Science of the Paranormal looks toward the overwhelming evidence that something weird and wild lies behind our everyday reality. Credible witnesses have seen paranormal activity with their own eyes. Scientists have studied it in their labs. And everyday we see depictions of it in popular media like Stranger Things and X-Men. Separate fact from fiction in this book and get answers to questions like: Can objects be moved with psychokinesis? Is the future foreseeable? Can we communicate telepathically? What does science say about ESP? Where is the evidence for reincarnation and spirits? Bio Known online as RadOwl, he’s published over 25,000 dream interpretations at r/dreams — Reddit’s largest dreaming community, which he’s led as head moderator since 2014. No other public record of dream expertise comes close. He’s the author of DREAMS 1-2-3: Three Steps to Interpret Dreams — the most complete modern guide to dream interpretation — plus The Dream Interpretation Dictionary, RadOwl’s Crash Course, and The Science of the Paranormal. Recognized by the International Association for the Study of Dreams. Former dream expert-in-residence at Canyon Ranch Spa. Featured in The Guardian and a recurring guest on Coast to Coast AM.

This week I am talking to Martha Jo Atkins PHD about her book 'Sign Posts of Dying'. Sign Posts of Dying tells about the unique language and behaviors of the dying. Brief so as not to overwhelm yet thorough enough to get the information needed, each Signpost shines a light on often ignored or unrecognized aspects of the dying process. Is your beloved hearing people in the hallway? Are they talking about 'other rooms' or friendly visitors who aren't family members? This book can help you recognize the language of dying. Useful for caregivers, mental health pros, and hospice volunteers, Signposts will help you understand some of what you may experience as you walk with a person who is leaving this world. One reader says, "Very intimate and makes what is a difficult topic for lots of people very safe." Bio Martha has been with more than a thousand children and adults at end-of-life - in hospitals, homes, and in-patient hospices. Long-term work in grief and bereavement laid a strong professional foundation early, and personal losses provided hard-won empathy and their own kind of wisdom. She is a doctoral level end-of-life licensed professional counselor and counselor supervisor (LPC-S), coach, consultant, speaker, and author. I love all dogs but most especially boxers. Dr. Pepper is my drink of choice. I worked with my first dying patient, a 3 y/o, when I was 22 years old. For thirty five years now, I’ve come alongside grieving and bereaved children and families + people at end-of-life and the ones who love them. https://marthajoatkins.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Signposts-Dying-What-Need-Know-ebook/dp/B019JJ2P8W https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Thousands of near-death experience accounts have been documented across five decades of clinical research. Esoteric traditions have described post-mortem states for millennia. Depth psychology mapped archetypal transition imagery throughout the twentieth century. None of these bodies of work talk to each other. The result is a field fragmented by disciplinary silos, ideological commitments, and the assumption that symbolic content is equivalent to literal description. Materialists dismiss the data. Religionists literalise the imagery. New Age frameworks conflate symbol with destination. Reverse Engineering the Afterlife operates at the structural level, extracts the cross-tradition pattern, and builds a named explanatory model— the Consciousness Transition Model—that accounts for the data without requiring faith in any tradition's myth-language. Bio Brendan D. Murphy is an independent consciousness researcher and author working at the fault line between empirical science and the world's esoteric traditions—testing both against evidence rather than taking either on faith. His new book, Reverse Engineering the Afterlife (2026), introduces the Consciousness Transition Model (CTM)—a structured, cross-disciplinary framework for understanding what consciousness encounters during and after death. Built from over two decades of research across near-death studies, reincarnation data, systems thinking, depth psychology, and esoteric philosophy, the CTM is not a belief system, but an operational map. His first book, The Grand Illusion: A Synthesis of Science and Spirituality (2012)—drawing from quantum physics, consciousness research, psi phenomena, and comparative philosophy—established him as one of the most thorough independent researchers in the field.

This week I am talking to Annie Mattingley about her book ‘The After Death Chronicles: True Stories of Comfort, Guidance, and Wisdom from Beyond the Veil’. This is a book about ordinary people--plumbers, artists and accountants, bakers and beauticians, teachers and lawyers--who have been able to receive communication from loved ones who have died. Included here are accounts from over 80 people across the country who have had contact with the dead through the diaphanous veil that separates them from the living. The book begins with the story of Annie's deceased daughter speaking to her in the early morning hours. The communication was so transformative that she began to share her experience. Much to her surprise, she discovered that after-death communication is much more common than is normally assumed, and she began to connect with other folks across the country who had similar experiences. Each of the ten chapters is organized around a specific kind of after-death communication. Included here are chapters on dreams, verbatim conversations, and synchronicity through nature and various other physical manifestations, descriptions of the results of these occurrences, and advice on how to open up to after-death communication. This book inspires in the reader reassurance, courage, healing, and a sense of wonder. From the author: "The time is ripe for people to recognize the blessing of how frequently our dead beloveds return . . . to confirm the reality that consciousness continues beyond the grave and to remind us that there is much more to death than the physical cessation of breath and pulse. It is time to break the silence, time to stop keeping these powerful healing experiences to ourselves. It is time to allow the experiences themselves, and the positive effect they have on the living." https://www.amazon.com/ebook/dp/B075837PY5 https://anniemattingley.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I am reading from my book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction Alien Abduction: Shocking UFO Encounters – Volume 1' For decades, people around the world have reported encounters that defy explanation, missing time, strange craft, non-human beings, and memories that surface under hypnosis. These accounts are evidence of a hidden reality unfolding around us. In Aspects of Alien Abduction: Shocking UFO Encounters – Volume 1, podcaster and hypnotherapist Simon Bown examines the phenomenon through the voices of those who claim to have experienced it firsthand. Drawing on years of research where the author interviewed each person at length, this book explores the recurring elements that appear again and again in abduction accounts: mysterious visitors, medical examinations, telepathic communication, hybrid programs, and encounters that challenge our understanding of consciousness itself. Rather than sensationalism, Simon Bown focuses on patterns, what experiencers consistently report, how their stories intersect, and what these similarities might reveal about the nature of the phenomenon. Disturbing, fascinating, and deeply thought-provoking, Aspects of Alien Abduction invites readers to examine one of the most controversial mysteries of our time. The implications for humanity are profound.

In this remastered episode I am talking to Dr. Linda Backman about her book 'Souls on Earth: Exploring Interplanetary Past Lives'. In this "groundbreaking" book, a past-life regression therapist "offers credible evidence of evolved interplanetary souls incarnate in human bodies" (Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind). In her work as a regression hypnotherapist, Dr. Linda Backman frequently meets with individuals who have had past lives on planets and realms beyond Earth. These individuals—called interplanetary souls—have agreed to come to Earth to help support the evolution of the planet as well as to develop themselves and learn lessons for spiritual advancement. In Souls on Earth, Dr. Backman shares her fascinating work with interplanetary souls. This book explores the characteristics of interplanetary souls so that if you are one, you will be able to understand more about your life purpose and cope with the special challenges that come with an incarnation on Earth. Learn how to identify IP souls and discover how they can assist humanity's evolution. Explore ways to support yourself or loved ones who may be IP souls. For many people struggling with difficult lessons or trying to find meaning, this book opens the door to new understandings and the potential for peace. Bio Dr. Linda Backman, licensed psychologist and regression therapist, has been in private practice for 47 years. Since 1993, Dr. Backman has guided innumerable individuals in regression hypnotherapy to access their past and between lives/higher self. In this way, she assists people to more fully recognize their Soul Essence Psychology, combining our current life experiences with who we are as a soul throughout our many lifetimes and as an immortal soul. Regression hypnotherapy allows the client to understand their Soul Design of past lives, soul origin, soul and life mission, soul progress, soul relationships, and more. Dr. Backman’s work, includes guiding soul regressions, speaking and writing, as well as training others in soul regression hypnotherapy both in the US and abroad. Dr. Backman has a profound commitment to deepening and heightening individual spiritual progress, as well as fostering a more universal understanding and awareness of the path of soul development, leading to greater wisdom and acceptance among all people and cultures worldwide. Linda studied and co-taught with Dr. Michael Newton, author of the seminal books on Life Between Lives regression therapy, and was a co-creative, founding member of the Society for Spiritual Regression Board (now The Newton Institute). In 1997, Dr. Backman and her husband, Dr. Earl Backman, established The Ravenheart Center (www.RavenHeartCenter.com), a Mystery School in Boulder, Colorado, dedicated to guiding individuals to discover their soul path. Dr. Backman is the author of Bringing Your Soul to Light: Healing Through Past Lives and the Time Between, published by Llewellyn Worldwide (2009); The Evolving Soul: Spiritual Healing Through Past Life Exploration (Llewellyn 2014); Souls on Earth: Exploring Interplanetary Past Lives (Llewellyn 2018); Soul Design: A Regressionist's Guide to Past Lives, Origins, and Purpose (Llewellyn 2025); and a frequent guest on numerous programs, such as Coast to Coast, Gaia TV, James Van Praagh and others.

This week I am reading from Tony Christie's book 'Death — You Gotta Love It: Choosing Love over Fear in Life’s Greatest Transition'. Based on three main premises, Death - You Gotta Love It takes you beyond the fear of death and into a vibrantly fulfilling life. First, there are only two ways of being: in fear or in love. Second, humanity’s greatest fear is of death. And third, when you choose to love death, you choose a way of life that cultivates love for all life, and a greater sense of peace and joy. Departing from traditional reactions such as anger, denial, fear, grief, and loss, Death - You Gotta Love It brings a new approach to death, one that is both exciting and invigorating. A more radical, proactive approach, whereby the reader takes ownership of their own mortality and, in so doing, frees oneself from negative thinking and emotions about their pending death. A vital element in humanity’s evolution and advancement, Death - You Gotta Love It is part of a great shift into higher consciousness, moving you from fear to love and taking you on a journey of exploration so that, when your time comes, you’ll be well prepared and ready for - perhaps even looking forward with excitement to - the adventure of death. Bio Tony Ærcyus Christie is a Messenger of Oneness, mystic, and spiritual teacher. He brings messages and teachings of oneness through his healing and teaching work. He left his senior management job in the Irish public service to follow his heart in the area of energy healing and sharing new information and energies that he is accessing on higher dimensions. He is founder of a new healing modality based on the labyrinth called Melchizedek Labyrinth Healing. He accesses high-vibrational energetic devices known as Golden Sphere Energetics to share with humanity. Tony is the author of the books Labyrinth: Your Path to Self Discovery and The Book of Nothing and Everything, and the creator of the Labyrinth Wisdom Cards. Tony presents workshops all over the world. He speaks at events and conferences with a view to inspiring and uplifting those present.

This week I'm talking to Cyrus Kirkpatrick about his book 'The Afterlife and Beyond: An Examination of Life After Death by an Out-of-Body Explorer'. If the afterlife is real, what does that mean for our lives? For society? In a second feature book by afterlife and supernatural writer Cyrus Kirkpatrick, these questions are poised as the consequences of an afterlife are explored in relation to subjects from cryogenics to artificial intelligence and the origins of life. In addition, objective evidence for the afterlife is scrutinized, with detailed out-of-body experiences and trips through other realms reported, including helpful information about how we can connect ourselves to other dimensions and reunite with loved ones. Bio Cyrus Kirkpatrick released Understanding Life After Death in 2015 followed by The Afterlife and Beyond in 2018. Both of these books investigated realities of the Spiritualism movement, scientific investigations into survival of consciousness. During this time, Cyrus has appeared as a speaker for the Afterlife Research Education Institute, and numerous media appearances. This also included the founding of the Afterlife Topics and Metaphysics YouTube and Facebook communities. Cyrus’s focus shifted primarily into direct, clairaudient communications with “worlds beyond Earth”, including verifiable or cross corresponding telepathic sessions that relate to often “grand sagas” that exist beyond our one planet, and how many subjects link together, including life after death often misidentified as a spirit world but is actually a higher reality, magical cosmos that is both physical and endlessly ancient. This discovery led to the forthcoming release of the book The Cosmic Shift of Mankind which documents many communications with important characters from Nikola Tesla to forces of the higher multiverse continuously spreading a message about a ‘5th density or ‘5d Shift’ that will bring Planet Earth into the realities beyond our own.

This episode I am reading from Jeffrey Keene's book 'Fire in the Soul: Reincarnation from Antietam to Ground Zero' I had never given reincarnation much thought, nor had I ever seen a psychic, but both of these elements came together one Halloween night. That one night was to change my outlook on life and my way of thinking forever. That evening started a progression of puzzle pieces floating into place. As each piece gently touched down, it added to a picture, a portrait that reinforced a strong case for reincarnation. My story weaves a tapestry of mystery and history, of love and the horrors of warfare. The journey was and still is a wondrous one, sometimes funny but at other times sad and physically painful. I force my beliefs on no one. I only ask that the readers open their minds to their own experiences, to take a good look at the world around them. As for me, I have no choice but to believe in reincarnation. I lived the story, and every word is true. Join me on an amazing journey through the eyes of two people: one a Georgian, the other a Connecticut Yankee. Similarities between the two go far beyond coincidence. They think alike, look alike, and even share facial scars. Their lives are so intertwined that they appear to be one. Half of this equation, Jeffrey J. Keene, a retired Assistant Fire Chief from affluent Westport, Connecticut. The other half, John B. Gordon, Confederate General, Army of Northern Virginia, died January 9, 1904. I would be lead into a 10-year travel odyssey that included the battlefields of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia as well as the library of Congress. Gathering information from official records, wartime reports and even love letters, I uncovered many parallels between my own life and that of General Gordon. Unexpectedly a trip to the emergency room on my thirtieth birthday with facial pain that mimicked a wound General Gordon received 115 years before at the battle of Antietam when he was thirty years of age. My hospital visit was more than a decade before I first heard his name. September 11, 2001 would start a new chapter in my life, literarily. In 2007, I was summoned to an online Reincarnation Forum dedicated to Children’s past lives. I was called in to aid in verifying a child’s information because of my knowledge of Fire Department operations and equipment. In less than a week, from the information given to me by the mother, on and off the forum, I discovered the boy was relating a lifetime of a New York City firefighter who perished in the events of September 11, 2001. After hearing his story, I call the young boy, The Phoenix. Bio Jeffrey J. Keene was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1947 and grew up in the town of Westport, CT, attending Staples High School. He joined the Air Force following his graduation in 1965. Following basic training, Keene specialized as a medic. While serving in Texas, Alabama, Florida, and New Jersey; he rose to the rank of sergeant, and received an honorable discharge in 1969. After returning to Westport, Keene joined the town's fire department in 1976. In his thirty five years in the fire service, Keene studied Fire Science at Norwalk State Technical College and attended Delaware State Fire School, where he progressed to the Fire Instructor level. One of the state's first Hazardous Materials Technicians, he also developed a Mock Crash Program to educate local high school students on the dangers of drinking and driving, gaining recognition for his efforts from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Jeffrey Keene was a decorated firefighter and an Assistant Fire Chief with the Westport, Connecticut Fire Department (retired 2003) Asst. Chief Keene spent his last fifteen years as a shift commander and was charged with the development and implementation of Standard Operation Procedures for the department. An accomplished Civil War researcher and speaker (having visited most of the major battle sites in the North and South) he has lectured on Civil War topics to groups ranging from elementary students to peer experts. Mr. Keene makes a strong case for reincarnation in his book titled Someone Else's Yesterday. Through years of research and travel, he has amassed compelling evidence of a former life during the American Civil War; that of Confederate General John B. Gordon. Keene resides with his wife Anna in Trumbull, Connecticut. https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Soul-Reincarnation-Antietam-Ground-ebook/dp/B09LR63BZ3 https://jeffreykeene.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I have two guests, Zach Tavcar and Fran Bailey. Where we discuss their near death experiences. Zach Tavcar was born in Reno, Nevada. He has always had an innate feeling of wanting to be an example, and of service, to others since his earliest memories. As he grew into adolescence he began to diminish this inner guidance, not fully comprehending the importance of this inner yearning. At 14, Zach was diagnosed with leukemia. Throughout the 10 months of intensive treatment Zach found an inner strength, with the incredible support of his family, in which he unconsciously realized the power of human potential. However, at 16, Zach relapsed. His treatment was much different the second time; it was more difficult because he had a bone-marrow transplant, but more importantly, because he watched as young children, 6 months old to 18 years old, and their parents and family members, suffered immensely. The suffering he observed, the death, the pain, caused Zach to enter on to the path he is now continuing to walk. His asking of, "WHY?!" has been the greatest quest-ion he could have ever asked. Why are these children suffering, why are these parents suffering, why are we all suffering, and how can we reduce this suffering? Zach has found many answers to his questions and continues to awaken each day the deeper understandings of the heart, in which we all have the answers to our questions. Zach's passion for helping others through his knowledge on nutrition and exercise was cultivated in part by his avid athletics throughout the entirety of his childhood and adolescence. As Zach continued his universal asking, he began to remember a deeper knowing and wanted to help others through his ability to teach them how to heal their bodies and minds as he did. As he remembered from authors, teachers, and unbeknownst guru's, Zach realized a healthy and fulfilling life not only includes proper nutrition, physical activity, healthy relationships with friends, family, and lovers, but most importantly a healthy mind and outlook towards life, a deeper understanding which we all possess. https://www.zachtavcar.com/   Fran Bailey At age 12, Fran Bailey had a remarkable Near-Death Experience (NDE). That same year, she also had an extraordinary encounter with non-human intelligences that profoundly changed her life, sparking a spiritual journey that transformed her understanding of existence and, she says, enabled her to heal herself from stage-4 cancer. As a child, Fran’s world was surrounded in music, dance, singing and believing in positive thought and philosophy. Her connection with the metaphysical world was a natural state of being. She started at the age of 4 dancing in a barn with a ballet barre she could never reach, but it didn’t matter ~ she was hooked. There was something about expressing emotions, moving energy with her body that fit like a glove. Fran went on to receive a BFA in dance, and for many years performed, choreographed, and taught children, adults, private and group classes. Fran still performs when she gets the chance. Her interest and training in energy healing started about 16 years ago, with world–renowned energy healer, Rosalyn L. Bruyere, thus connecting with the metaphysical aspect of her life. For twelve years Fran worked as an energy healer for the Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine under Drs. Steve and Sandi Amoils in Cincinnati, Ohio. Subsequently, Fran began developing her meditation and psychic skills with noted psychic healers John Friedlander and Gloria Hemsher, authors of the definitive books Basic Psychic Development and Psychic Psychology. Fran’s additional work in the field includes five years as an energy consultant for the staff at The Affinity Center for ADD adult and children in Cincinnati, Ohio. Recently, through Deborah A. Ooten PhD, founder/director of The Conscious Living Center, Fran received her certification as an accredited Enneagram teacher and trainer. Combining these skills into a method of teaching has been an ongoing goal for Fran. Her passion is to integrate all of these tools to open up the conscious mind, body and spirit. She integrates and offers her experience and skills to her clients and students through a variety of consultations in energy communication. https://franbaileyhealer.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I am talking to the medium Traci Bray. Bio Traci Bray was born and raised in Clinton, Iowa.  She was 5 years old when the first known deceased person appeared to her. Although recognition of life beyond a physical existence was real for Traci, it wasn’t until the mid-1990's that she began offering public readings at the urging of friends. Via word-of-mouth, accolades of her skills widened. Her clientele has expanded across the US, and to all continents save the poles! Traci's professional background and enhanced communications skills lend themselves to her readings. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Family Services and a Master's in Law Enforcement and Justice Administration. For over two decades prior to reading publicly she assisted individuals, families and systems toward change for improvement in the fields of domestic violence, sexual assault, corrections and public transportation. She served as a curriculum writer and trainer for two state-level law enforcement agencies in the Midwest. It is a natural that in addition to families, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies have requested and received her confidential input. In late 2022, Traci published an oracle card deck, "The Soul Lives On - Life-Affirming Channeled Messages from Spirit", and an accompanying Journaling Workbook, both with Stacy A. Macy, JD. More recently, a number of thoughts and quotes of Traci's appear in Dr. Julie Beischel's oracle card deck, "Guidance for Grief: Wisdom to Help You Stay Connected to Your Loved One After Loss", and her book From the Mouths of Mediums, which provides interviews with other Windbridge Certified Research Mediums which Beischel directs. In 2000, Traci was filmed by the BBC for a documentary, produced by Justine Picardie, on mediums. That experience later materializes in Picardie’s book, If the Spirit Moves You: Love and Life Beyond Death. Additionally she appears in the book Truth About Medium, by Dr. Gary Schwartz, former Director of the University of Arizona’s coveted VERITAS program, where she served as a “Research Medium”. Other research mediums with VERITAS have included John Edward, George Anderson and Allison DuBois, the latter on whom the NBC series "Medium" is based. Windbridge Certified Research Mediums include Laura Lynne Jackson, Debra Martin and Kim Russo.  Key media pieces include:    Kansas City NBC affiliate KSHB produced a feature story on Traci's work;    Quoted in CNN online article    Contributor to Dr. Julie Beischel's (Director of Research, Windbridge) award winning essay for the (Robert) Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies    Contributor to e.books published by Windbridge including  Among Mediums: a Scientists Quest for Answers    Presenter, The Compassionate Friends regional conference    Presenter, The Vail Symposium  (see photo at left of Traci, Dr. Julie Beischel, and Eliza Rey, another WCRM    Guest on "Kansas City Live"    Feature article in the "Kansas City Star"      Numerous articles about her work have materialized in a number of newspapers and magazines across the Midwest including the "Kearney Press," "Kansas City Wellness," and "Evolving." Today Traci is a Level #5 Certified Research Medium with The Windbridge Research Center (see http://windbridge.org) in Tucson, AZ. Previously she served as a Certified Medium with the Forever Family Foundation in New York.   Traci is a relaxed, dynamic, and engaging public speaker and reader. She can be hilarious! A passion for writing finds her working on several projects from her home which is on the National Historic Register in Kansas City, Missouri. Traci's readings come from Spirit in the 'spirit-of' personal enlightenment.  To some recipients, they also provide entertainment and certainly, enjoyment.  Every beneficiary of a reading has free will to choose as they see fit for their own life.  Individuals are responsible for their interpretation of the reading as well as how or if they incorporate it into their own life via thought, word and deed. https://tracibray.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Samantha Leifker's book 'Born Awakened: An Otherworldly True Story' They intervened in my life before I could even speak, and they've guided me ever since. I was born and raised in a poltergeist house, where they trained me in spiritual warfare. I was taken, I was tested, I was shown, and it has only just begun. From angels to greys to UFOs, every encounter I've had until now is detailed in this book, and I hold nothing back. The first thirty years of my life have been filled with paranormal events, out-of-body experiences, meetings with the dead, and contact with many forms of NHI. Extrasensory perception appears to be a result of my exposure to the supernatural, and so do the wild synchronicities that flood my life. We are spiritual beings not confined to the physical, and we have the ability to journey into realms that conventional thinking denies. It's time for humanity to awaken, rediscover our inheritance, and return to the path we were always meant to walk. We're capable of far more than we've been conditioned to believe. The sounds, colors, and energies beyond the veil transcend anything we perceive in the physical world. Even though written language cannot fully convey their depth, I do my best to put each experience into words. Bio From her earliest memory, Samantha Leifker has been in contact with beings unseen by the physical eye. These encounters began in her childhood home, alive with poltergeist activity, and continued throughout her life. She’s always carried a sense of greater purpose and has known she is destined to share what she’s seen. Her debut book offers a deeply personal account of every paranormal experience she’s had to date, each one shattering the boundaries of known truth. Samantha is a fierce and devoted mother of two, a small business owner, and a wild-hearted nature enthusiast. She finds joy in all forms of art, studying wild edible plants, handcrafting natural skincare, and resting in the sun as birds sing across her countryside home. https://www.amazon.com/Born-Awakened-Otherworldly-True-Story-ebook/dp/B0GNC8CSDT https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Ingrid Honkala's book 'Dying to See the Light: A Scientist's Guide to Reawakening (Without Nearly Dying)' What if the greatest awakening of your life did not require dying… but remembering? Opening with forewords by pioneering near-death experience researchers Dr. Pim van Lommel and Dr. Eben Alexander, Dying to See the Light bridges science, spirituality, and firsthand experience to reveal a deeper understanding of consciousness and the true nature of life. For centuries, humanity has searched for answers to life’s deepest questions: Why are we here? What is consciousness? What lies beyond the limits of the physical world? In this powerful and deeply personal book, scientist and near-death experiencer Ingrid Honkala, PhD, shares the insights gained through multiple near-death experiences and a lifetime of inner exploration. Blending scientific understanding with spiritual wisdom, she reveals a profound truth: The Light we seek has always lived within us. More than a story, this book is a practical guide to awakening. Through simple yet transformative reflections and practices, you will learn how to: Reconnect with your inner awareness and presence Transform suffering into growth and wisdom Cultivate forgiveness, self-love, and inner peace Navigate life with clarity, trust, and purpose This is not a book about dying. It is a guide to living with greater clarity, wisdom, and love. The Light you are searching for is already within you. Are you ready to remember? Bio I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, where I lived with my parents and three sisters. Although I grew up in the mountains my love for the ocean started when my parents brought me to see it for the very first time at the age of four. I perceived it as a huge blanket and told my mom that some day I was going to find what was hidden under it. At five I told my dad, “When I grow up I am going to become a marine scientist.” I pursued my dream and went to college where I graduated as a Marine Biologist and later continued my graduate studies until I got a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences with emphasis in Biological Oceanography. My passion for my career had brought me to be a very successful scientist in this field. Since I was very little my parents discovered that my learning abilities were astonishing but that was not all. Later they also discovered that I could see and hear things that no one else could. All this seemed to be tied up with the aftermath of a near-death experience (NDE) where I drowned at the age of two. Not long after, I started to communicate with Beings of Light who have guided me through a journey of miracles, not just around the world but also through the barriers of time. With them I have been able to access past life experiences of myself and others, and future events. As I grew up and remembered my drowning, I could never get away from the question, “How could I have seen my body lifeless if I was still alive?” This experience made it clear to me that there was an existence beyond the body. Before I was quite three, I was gifted with knowing that I have existed for a very long time. In fact, I have come and gone in different realms many more times. https://www.ingridhonkala.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDQF9T2W https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I am talking to Dr Gregory Shushan about his book 'Near-Death Experience in Indigenous Religions'. Near-death experiences are known around the world and throughout human history. They are sometimes reported by individuals who have revived from a period of clinical death or near-death and they typically feature sensations of leaving the body, entering and emerging from darkness, meeting deceased friends and relatives, encountering beings of light, judgment of one's earthly life, feelings of oneness, and reaching barriers, only to return to the body. Those who have NDEs almost invariably understand them as having profound spiritual or religious significance. In this book, Gregory Shushan explores the relationships between near-death experiences, shamanism, and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies in Africa, North America, and Oceania. Drawing on historical accounts of the earliest encounters with explorers, missionaries, and ethnologists, this study addresses questions such as: Do ideas about the afterlife commonly originate in NDEs? What role does culture play in how people experience and interpret NDEs? How can we account for cross-cultural similarities and differences between afterlife beliefs? Though NDEs are universal, Shushan shows that how they are actually experienced and interpreted varies by region and culture. As the historical documents reveal, in North America, they were commonly valorized, and attempts were made to replicate them through shamanic rituals. In Africa, however, they were largely considered aberrational events with links to possession or sorcery. In Oceania, Micronesia corresponded more to the African model, while Australia had a greater focus on afterlife journey shamanism. Polynesia and Melanesia showed an almost casual acceptance of the phenomenon as reflected in numerous myths, legends, and historical accounts. This study examines the continuum of similarities and differences between NDEs, shamanism, and afterlife beliefs in dozens of cultures throughout these regions. In the process, it makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge about the origins of afterlife beliefs around the world and the significance of related experiences in human history. Gregory Shushan explores the relationship between NDEs and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies. Bio He was Grawemeyer Award-nominated for his book Conceptions of the Afterlife in Early Civilizations.

This week I am reading from RC Clarence' book 'There Is No Such Thing As Death: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death and How You Can Prove It Yourself' What really happens after death? This book draws on the extensive clairvoyant investigations of C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant into thousands of people who crossed over into the afterlife. Learn what they discovered and how you can do the same. More than a century ago, clairvoyant investigators associated with the Theosophical tradition began systematically exploring the realms beyond the physical world and comparing their observations of individuals who had crossed into the afterlife. And based on those detailed investigations, this book presents a remarkably consistent picture of life after death—one that anyone can begin investigating for themselves. In this book you will discover:    What happens immediately after death    The nature of the astral and mental realms    The roles of reincarnation and karma    The purpose and meaning of life    How to develop clairvoyant perception This book is ideal for readers seeking:    Evidence-based insights into life after death    A clear explanation of the astral and thought planes    A synthesis of classical Theosophical research    Practical guidance for developing clairvoyant perception Discover why death may not be the end of life—but the beginning of a much larger journey of consciousness. Bio R. C. Clarence, PhD is a university professor, active yoga practitioner, and devoted student of the Ancient Wisdom. His writing style reflects the methods used in the classroom: an informal, conversational approach coupled with the use visual highlights, charts and examples that make the subject matter come alive. He has practiced the methods of clairvoyant development outlined in the book and has achieved results that exceeded his expectations. His goal in life is to share what he has learned with others so they can begin to awaken their own inner abilities. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTBHKY4Y https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When people grow old or become very sick, they often spend time thinking about what might happen when life ends. It is natural to wonder what comes next, and people from every culture and religion have imagined it in different ways. Some people speak about heaven, others about reincarnation, and some believe death is simply the end. But there is one curious set of experiences that seems to cross cultures and history: deathbed visions.A deathbed vision is a strange and powerful event reported by people who are close to dying. They might suddenly announce that they see their mother standing in the room, even though she died long ago. They may reach out their hands to someone invisible, whispering, “They’ve come for me.” They sometimes describe beautiful places filled with light, or hear music that no one else in the room can hear. Family members and doctors who witness these moments often feel awe, puzzlement, and sometimes comfort.  https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences'  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
