Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast DAM paranormal
podcast network. Now get ready for another episode of Sheets
of the Afterlife with Sandra Champlain.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Welcome to our podcast. Please be aware the thoughts and
opinions expressed by the host are their thoughts and opinions
only and do not reflect those of iHeartMedia, iHeartRadio, Coast
to Coast AM, employees of premier networks, or their sponsors
and associates. We would like to encourage you to do
(00:33):
your own research and discover the subject matter for yourself. Hi.
I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been
on a journey to prove the existence of life after death.
On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know
(00:54):
that our loved ones have survived physical death and so
will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. Some news
for today, Our second We Don't Die film is in
the works. You may remember our first film, Rinaldi Instrumental
Transcommunication with the Other Side, featuring Sonya Ronaldi, who captures
(01:18):
the images and voices from the other side. This next
film is titled Evidence of the Afterlife, Saving Evidential Mediumship
with Phil Dike's and Carrie McLoud. As you know, they
are our premiere tutors, and the idea of the movie
is to restore mediums to what they should be, providing
(01:41):
good education, integrity, making medium readings accessible to all at
a reasonable price, and improving the quality of mediumship. You
can see the latest on the film at we don'tdefilms
dot com. Not too long ago, we did a special
(02:01):
presentation with doctor Craig Hogan about afterlife communication and the
life after this life. Let me tell you about Craig.
He's the author, co author or editor of eight books
about life after death and afterlife communication. He's the co
founder of the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, and along
(02:24):
with our friend ROBERTA. Grimes, he created seek reality dot com.
It's all things afterlife. Personally, I feel doctor Hogan is
the world's leading expert in the afterlife, and I would
like to share today some of the words he spoke
to our community. So here's doctor Craig Hogan and methods
(02:48):
of how we can be in touch with our loved
ones in the hereafter.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Thank you. It's a delight to be here and I
am anxious for us to talk about this because It's
an important topic. We know so much now that people
don't realize about this life, the afterlife, and what will
happen when we communicate with others who are living in
the afterlife. So what I want to tell people is
the most important things are that you must realize that
(03:13):
when our body dies, our minds have just graduated to
another level. We've gone on to a graduate school which
is filled with love, peace and joy. Those who have
graduated before us are waiting for us. They're alive, happy
and available to communicate with us. So we can communicate
with them. Now. Anyone can learn to communicate with their
(03:35):
loved ones living in the life after this life. Some
methods are ninety eight percent successful. People just don't realize it.
We're all members of the same universal intelligence. It's a
spiritual essence. It is the background and it is the
basis of reality. And if we realize that, then we
need not have the animosity and the hostility and the
(03:58):
problems that we have among people. If we just realized
that we are one spiritual essence with each other and
we're helping each other to go through this wonderful experience
that is Earth school. So what I want to do is.
I want to talk about two things. The first of
these is the fact that our minds are not in
our brains. They don't rely upon our brains at all.
(04:21):
And as a result of that, when the body dies,
the mind just keeps ongoing. It's as though when people
come back from the afterlife and they tell us what
happened when they made their transition, they said, I don't
know I was there and then I was here. I
don't know what happened. Some people awaken on the other side,
and then they'll awaken in familiar surroundings. It could be
(04:41):
the childhood home that they had grown up. And one
man woke up in the middle of a meadow and
he saw a horse coming towards him. And the horse
was his old Nelly, he said, And it was his
horse who had died that he had loved. So we
go there, and it's an easy trans it is a
painless transition, and so people have to realize the fact
(05:04):
that it is something to look forward to. So the
first thing I want to say is about the nature
of reality. The boy we know that the mind continues
to live after the body dies. The universe is made
up of consciousness and since you are a manifestation of
that consciousness. You will never die. Your mind is not
(05:24):
in your brain, so you will continue to live after
your body and brain die, as near death experiences show,
when your body and brain die, instead of becoming comatose,
you become more alert and joyous because you're entering the
next realm of your eternal life. Researcher, scientists, and other
highly regarded professionals now acknowledge the fact that we continue
(05:46):
to live after the body dies. It is not true
that science says that the body dies and the mind
dies with it. That is not true. It's the materialists
who say that many sciencests, physicians, counselors, people who are
professionals in various fields are now coming to the realization
that we do continue after the body dies. So, the
(06:10):
reason that we know that the people are living in
the life aft of this life, we have no doubt
of that. We know that they're there, We know that
they're communicating with us. What happens is when they communicate
to us, then there's evidence based upon the communication that
shows us that they're continuing to live there. First is
that people communicating with their loved ones validated that it
(06:30):
is their loved one that's coming through, and it could
be in a mental medium reading, it could be in
a materialization, whatever that meant that it is. They will
validate the fact that this is in fact their loved
one who's coming through. They comment on contemporary life activities
that are validated by the people engaging in them. They'll
tell them what they did the night before, what they
(06:51):
did on the way there to wherever the location is.
They'll tell them things about their lives that are going
on now that they could only know if they're living
alive in the next life. No medium could do that.
No medium would know those things. They have fully capable
mental functions. When they come through and they communicate to
us from the life after this life, their mental functions
(07:12):
are more acute than ever. They learned things in the
knife after this life that they come back and tell
us about. There is no damage from the death of
their brain. It doesn't make any difference. They never were
in the brain. They carry on fluid conversations when they
come back that with voice, characteristics and knowledge that can
only come from that person living in the life after
(07:34):
this life. They have personalities that are recognized by those
experiencing the communication. Because of intimate relationships of knowledge of
those who are in spirit. They recall and speak fluently
and accurately about details of their experiences during their lives
before their body cease to function that are validated by
the people who know. Sometimes they have highly specialized knowledge
(07:58):
that the medium could not know, and that they and
the person receiving the communication on earth would not know,
and that it's validated later to be true. They materialize,
and those who know them on earth testify that the
materialization is clearly recognizable as the person. The afterlife communication
experiences are very common. Seventy percent of widows and widowers
(08:20):
in one study and said that they have had afterlife
communication with their loved one. This is not an uncommon experience.
It is very common for people to have these experiences.
The functions commonly associated with consciousness have been shown to
occur when the brain is not involved, so we know
that when the brain dies, the people are not affected
by it. The evidence that we have for the fact
(08:43):
that we continue to live after this life is coming
from a variety of sources. One is direct voice or
independent voice mediumship. A second is materialization mediumship. There is
instrumental transcommunication In other words, voices come through on recorders,
spontaneous militializations where people simply appear to other people, psychotherapists,
(09:08):
guided communication, trance, mediumship, automatic writing, mental mediumship, dreams, and
common after life experiences. There are many ways in which
the people in the life after this life are coming
through and their intent on coming through and communicating with us.
So what I want to do is I want to
go through a presentation that will tell you about these
(09:30):
methods of communication, and I will explain them to you
and explain how you can take advantage of them, how
you can communicate with your loved one living in the
life after this life. We have learned more than humanity
has ever known about afterlife communication, more than anybody who
has known in the past century or so. We've learning
(09:50):
more and more every day. You should know that you
can communicate with your loved one living in the life
after this life. The first method is through psychotherapists. One
of the psychotherapists is named doctor Alan Bodkin, a second
Israel Show Right, and a third is doctor Jane Bisler.
These psychotherapists are explained Afterlife Institute dot Org Psychotherapists. You
(10:14):
can go to a psychotherapist and you can sit in
the psychotherapist's office and the psychotherapist will help you go
into a state of mind in which you can have
and after life communication. The first of these is induced
after death communication, and this was developed by doctor al Bodkin.
Al Bodkin was a psychotherapist at the Chicago Veterans Administration Hospital,
(10:38):
and there he learned that his combat veterans when he
put them into a state of mind using EMDR or
eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, when he put them into
that state of mind, they're coming back and saying, I
just spoke with that person for whom I'm reading, I
spoke with that young man that I killed when we
were at war. I spoke with my fellow soldier who
was lost during battle, and they told me not to
(11:01):
worry about what happened. Don't be concerned about it. You're
going to continue to live after this life, and so
you didn't worry about the person whom you killed in
the next life. We co author a book you can
look at if you want. It's Induced after death Communication.
You can go to the website at Induced hyphenadc dot
com and you can go there and you can find
(11:23):
psychotherapists or using this method so you can experience it yourself.
The second method that psychotherapists are using is called Repair
and Reattachment. Greek therapy was developed by Rochelle Wright who
was a psychotherapist in Washington State. She was state certified
and she developed doctor Bodkins's method. She took it and
(11:45):
made it better by allowing those who are in the
life after this life to take charge. In other words,
it's their therapy session. They decide what's going to happen.
They decide how long it's going to happen. Sometimes these
therapy sessions can go on for a hours because the
person in the afterlife is trying to get messages through
to the person who's living this life. These are wonderful sessions.
(12:09):
Anyone can have these communications. All you have to do
is sit in the psychotherapist's office. They will put you
in this state of mind. The next one is Loving
Heart's Connection, which was developed by doctor Jane Bissler. Doctor
Bisler is a psychotherapist who is certified in the state
of Ohio. She developed a method that is used online now,
(12:31):
so you can go online and you can have this
happen with you wherever you are, sitting in your living room.
Go to clearing yoursoul dot com if you'd like to
know more about this, but I recommend this one because
of the fact that she then teaches you how to
go into the state of mind yourself sitting in your
living room.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
It is time for our first break, and when we
come back, we'll hear more about afterlife communication that we
can do from doctor Craig Hogan. You're listening to Shades
of the Afterlife on the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Keep it here on the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Sanders Champlain will be right back.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
The Internet is an extraordinary resource that links our children
to a world of information, experiences, and ideas and also
can expose them to risk. Teach your children the basic
safety rules of the virtual world. Our children are everything.
Do everything for them.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Hi, it's doc your Sky.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Keep it right here on the iHeart Radio and Coast
to Coast AM Pronormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife I'm Sandra Champlain
and we're here with doctor Craig Hogan, afterlife expert, as
he shares some different ways that we can be in
communication with our loved ones.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
The next method is self guided after life communications. That
I developed this method and put it online because I
had co authored those two books with the EMDR psychotherapists,
and I learned how to do it, and so I
figured there ought to be some way that a person
can put themselves into this state of mind, and so
I developed the self guided after life Connections procedure. It's online,
(14:51):
it's free, it's at Afterlife Institute dot org, slash self
hyphen guided. That I'd invite anybody to go through fill
out the forums at the ends of the stages, then
I will help you to go through it. The first
stage teaches you about how you can have an afterlife connection.
Second is about understanding what an afterlife connection is. Third
(15:14):
is understanding your mind and how your mind can be
put into a state of mind in which you can
have the afterlife connection. And the experience with connecting is
going to be. On stage four, you actually go into
an afterlife connection with your loved one. In stage five,
you have an extended conversation, so you go into a
day dream in which you start talking with your loved
(15:36):
one and then the daydream goes into an afterlife connection.
Six is practice with music but without guidance. Seven is
practice with no music and no guidance. So then you
can just sit anywhere. You can sit in a doctor's
office and when you're having an appointment, close your eyes
and have an afterlife connection. And the final stage is
(15:56):
understanding the signs of presence. The next method is that
you can use is meditations. You can enter a relaxed
state of mind and have the intention of communicating with
a loved one who's living in the life after this life.
It's a skill you can learn how to do it.
People have gone into meditation and have taught themselves how
(16:16):
to have their own afterlife communication. The reason that it's
the skill that can be learned is because all you
have to do is shut down the physical realm, shut
down the world around you, the world around who is
interfering with getting the messages. We're getting messages continually from
the loved ones who are living in the life after
this life. They just don't bubble up into our awareness.
They stay in the subconscious. And the reason is that
(16:39):
we're living our lives, we're busy, We've got distractions, we
have things happening. One of the people who learned how
to do it in meditation was Maria p Her sons
had been killed by their father. She was devastated and
she needed to find a way to connect with them,
and so what she did was she taught herself how
to meditate. She wrote a book about her meditation and
(17:01):
her experiences with her sons in the called Journey to
the Upper Realm. I really recommend the book. It's available
on Amazon dot com. You'll understand what she did. She
explains the stages that she went through in learning how
to communicate with her sons. Another person who's learned how
is named Annie Kagan. Annie is connecting with her brother
(17:22):
in spirit, and in her case, it actually happened that
her brother came to her and actually started the process,
and as he started the process that he communicated with her,
and she allowed the messages to bubble up from her
subconscious into her conscious mind and learning that skill then
enabled her to communicate with him. She also wrote a
book I'd recommend. It's available on Amazon dot com at
(17:46):
the Afterlife of Billyfingers. The next method is a pendulum
Carol Morgan, who is one of the SEK Reality founders,
is a very astute at using the penum and has
been doing this work for some time now. This is Caryl.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Hi everyone and After Life Forums. This is Carol, and
I want to show you how I talk to Mikey
when I'm on the forum. I think it will be
helpful for you. I use this pendulum and this letter
number disc where all the alphabet is on and all
the numbers are on it. I hold the pendulum and
I'm going to hold my hand as steady as I can,
(18:28):
and I stirred in the center of the disc and
I call for Mikey.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So you could read about her use of the pendulum
in her book Flying High in Spirit, which was written
by ROBERTA. Grimes. The next method is EVP or ITC.
Evp's Electronic Voice Phenomena. ITC is instrumental transcommunication. Both of
these use devices. The foremost researchers who are doing this
work and they're recording the voices of children, especially in
(18:54):
the Life after This Life, are Sonia Rinaldi and Sherry Pearl.
They're doing marvelous work in helping people to hear from
their loved when living in the life after this life.
What happens is that they have a recorder running in
the background. They have vocal gibberish, and as the jebbish
is playing, then they ask questions. When they ask a question,
(19:17):
then the person in the life after this life responds,
It goes onto the recorder and when they play back
the recorder, then it comes in. They ask a question,
and they can ask as many as ten or twenty
questions and they can record them. And then when they
play back the recording, the person in the life after
(19:37):
this life is there is responding to them. They wait
ten or twenty seconds after each question and they ask
another question to wait ten or twenty seconds, and they
continue through eight or ten questions in a session. And
it's a waterphilous tool and anyone can learn how to
do it. This is an example. So the researcher asks.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Would you like to leave a message to you mother?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
So that was the child in spirits who said that.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Would you like to live a message to your mother?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And what happens is that the child in spirit is
being helped by technicians. So the child is not doing
this alone. There are technicians who are backing them up.
And who are making the electromagnetic pulses. Come on to
the recorder, say.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Something in English to let me know I should use this.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
I Speish.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So that's the child and spirit who the technicians are
laying down electronic tracks. This is actually the person, the child.
What they do is they send their thoughts and the
thoughts that are turned into electromagnetism.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Can you say?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
That's the research of Sherry Pearrol asking of her son
who is in spirit. The next one is automatic writing.
You scribble words as they come to you. You just
have a pad of paper and a pen in your hand,
and as words come to you in your mind, they
bubble up from your subconscious they bypass your conscious mind
and you write them down. It's very easy to do.
(21:17):
You sit with a stack of ten or twelve sheets
of paper and a pen or pencil. Then after that
then you relax into an open, receptive states. You scribble
a statement or a question, and you scribble the first
words that come to you. Don't hesitate, don't stop, don't
worry about whether it's legible, and the messages then will
come into your subconscious mind and they'll bubble up into
(21:39):
your conscious mind. Chill, Swan is a metaphysician and I
recommend her explanation of how to use automatic writing. The
next method is called mirror gazing or a psychomantium. And
in a mirror gazing, you gaze into a mirror. You
start to have a dialogue with the person in spirit
and then they will communicate to you in your mind
(22:01):
and then that bubbles up into your awareness. It's an
ideal method of doing it and we recommend that you
learn how to do it because it will help you
in making your connection. You sit in the darkened room
where you can barely see anything. You prop up a
mirror so it's tilted so you don't see yourself in
the mirror. You're looking at a wall in the mirror.
You relax, meditate, and you think of the person you
(22:24):
want to connect with, and you go through pleasant times,
think about them and go through the pleasant times you
had with them. What that does is to bring them
to mind and how it facilitates. Doctor Raymond Moody has
developed the idea of a cyclomanteum. Then develop the method
and it is seventy percent successful in people having after
(22:44):
life communications with their loved ones. And one that's an incident,
a person actually said they thought they were coming through
the mirror. So that is a summary of the ways
in which you can have after life connections. So I
really would recommend that you invest. Then there we will
find a method that will work for you. And there's
no doubt about that because there are so many of
(23:05):
them that are available and they're so successful. And with that,
I want to answer any questions that anybody might have
about after life's communication or about the proof the fact
that we know that we live on after the body dies.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Thanks so much, Craig. I wanted to start with some
questions as people write in the Q and A box.
First of all, with these things where we can do ourselves.
If somebody says, oh, it's just my imagination, what would
you have to say to that.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It comes up in the same place where your imagination is.
In other words, it's all of these things that are
mental are coming up in the same space, so it
feels to you like it's your imagination and because of
the fact that it's there. But you will learn things.
You will hear things that you would not have said,
You would not have made them up. If you're going
to imagine something you have to say, I'm going to
(23:56):
imagine an elephant that has gravit ears, and then you
bring that up into your mind. But if something comes
spontaneously into your mind that you didn't expect to happen,
you didn't intend to happen, and that's coming from someone
in the life after this life, or it's coming from
a guide or from other sources. But if it comes
up naturally, then you know that it is coming from
(24:19):
a source outside of you. So all you have to
do then is to go into the state of mind, relax,
allow yourself to eliminate the physical realm, eliminate all the
things that are going on around you. And once you
do that, then you can allow those messages to bubble
up from your subconscious and they come up very quickly.
So if you ask a question, the first thing that
(24:40):
comes to your mind is the response from your loved
one in the life after this life. So as you
do that and you get into the zone and you
get used to doing that, then after a while then
you realize the fact that you're getting messages you never
would have thought of. They unfold naturally for you, and
as a result of that, then you know that they
are coming from some one living in the life after
(25:01):
this life. So that's what you have to do. And
as you do it, as you get into the zone,
and as you practice, and as you do it, then
gradually you will completely forget about the idea that it's imagination.
That won't even occur to you. You'll just have these conversations.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Would you recommend that people keep a journal, and also
could you talk a little bit about signs that we
might get from our loved ones.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Journals are wonderful because of the fact that things are
coming to you every day. You're getting some guidance from
your guides, You're getting messages from your loved ones. There
are helpers people who out there who are interested in you,
who just want to help you in your life. Some
people may be dedicated to you and you may not
even know it. They have chosen you that they want
to help you out in your life. So they're constantly
(25:47):
giving you guidance, they're giving you cues, they're giving you
some advice about what to do in your life. They
don't bubble up from the subconscious. They're coming into the subconscious.
We know that they're there because of the fact that
we know that if you down the conscious mind. Then
they will bubble up into your conscious mind and then
you can become aware of them.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
When we get back from the break, we'll talk to
doctor Hogan Moore about signs and how we can communicate
with our loved ones. You're listening to Shades of the
Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal

Speaker 2 (27:16):
This is Afterlife expert Daniel Braakley, and you're listening to
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Aaronormal Podcast Network.
(27:40):
Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sanders Champlain
and we're here with doctor Craig Hogan. I first learned
about Craig years ago when I was a girl afraid
of dying looking for evidence of the afterlife. His book
Your Eternal Self really helped me turn the corner knowing
how much science is involved with afterlife communication. Now we'll
(28:06):
continue with doctor Craig talking about signs.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You get signs all the time. They will do things
like they will will have you look at a license
plate and that's a number that you associate with them
at seven seven seven or something like that. But what
happens when they do that is they are with you
and they're inspiring you to look. So they didn't make
the license plate. What they're doing is they know the
(28:31):
license plate is coming up, and they're with you. They're
inspiring you to look at it, and so they get
you to look at it and then you see the
seven seven seven, or it could be that there are feathers,
or there are dimes. My grandmother when she crossed over
and all of a sudden, I was getting dimes. Now,
what happened was that I started getting the first two
or three dimes that were just laying around, and then
(28:53):
I said that must be Grandma. She'd give me the messages.
And because of that validation, because I said that that
was true, I got many more dimes. And for days
I was getting dimes every place I look. But you
will get signs like that, but those are physical signs.
Those are more difficult to get. The person in the
life after this life can inspire you to look at things,
(29:14):
or they can actually manipulate things so that dimes appear.
But most of what they're going to be doing is
trying to communicate with you mentally. They want to get
messages through to you. They want to communicate with you.
They want to let you know that they're fine, not
to worry about them, that they love you, and that
they're anxious for the reunion that you're going to have
when you come back together again. So you will get
(29:37):
signs of your loved one living in the afterlife, but
don't wait for the signs. Instead, learn how to communicate,
learn how to allow those messages to bubble up from
your subconscious into your conscious mind.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Thank you, Craig. What got you into this and what
keeps you passionate about continually researching and sh.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I'd gone through half of my life when I was
fifty years old and I started meeting psychics and mediums.
They were just coming into my life one after another.
I didn't know why it was happening, but I started
to understand things differently. I had no idea of anything
about the afterlife or the greater reality, or psychic activities
or anything like that before that had no religious background.
(30:25):
So then when I had these people coming into my
life and I started to delve into it, what is
this person wider? They know things about me that I
didn't know or that they shouldn't have known because they're
strangers to me. And so then as I delved into it,
I went to a psychic and she said to me,
you will find out that you have psychometry ability. And
(30:48):
she said, go home and take a deck of playing
cards and put one card at the time face down
on your palm and look to see whether it it
feels warm or whether it feels cool, and then place
that into a pile, don't look at it, and then
go on to the next one and do that, And
so I went home and I did that. I went
through about twenty five cards, and I had these two stacks,
(31:10):
and one of them was a warm stack and one
was a cool stack. And so I turned over the
cool stack and every one of them was black, and
I turned over the warm stack and every one except
one was red. So I realized then that I have
psychometry ability. I have psychic ability. And I learned that
I had another medium tell me that I could do
(31:32):
remote viewing. Remote viewing means you sit in your office
or you're home and you look at something that is
thousands of miles away. It doesn't matter where it is,
but you can look at something which is a great
distance away and you can see it. So you sit,
relax into your mind and focus upon whatever that is,
wherever that person is. And so I had a man
(31:54):
who did it with me, and his name was build Knowledge.
He was in New Jersey and I was in Illinois.
And he said, I'm going to put something on my
table in my office and I said, well, okay, I'll
take a look at it and then i'll do a
sketch and let you know what I find. And so
he did that. I sat quietly and closed my eyes.
(32:15):
And after a while I started getting images of a
round object and it felt like it was metallic. It
felt like it had a button on it, and so
I sketched that and I sent it to him. Then
I sent him sketches of some other things. I got
several other things. He said, well, no, those weren't things
that were in my office. And one of them, though,
was it was a green banker's light. And yeah, that
(32:36):
was right. And so then he went home. And when
he went home, he was surprised to see the things
that I was sketching were on the tables in his home,
not in his office. And so he went from table
to table and he found every one of the sketches.
And so I discovered that there was much more to
reality than just what we know to be true. And
so I then delved into the fact that if the
(32:58):
mind is not in the brain, and we can do
these things like remote viewing, that means the mind continues
after the body dies. I began thinking about and studying
about and finding about afterlife communication in the afterlife, and
over the decades since that time, then I learned so
much that it was no doubt in my mind about
(33:19):
the fact that we live on after the body dies.
That's so obvious to me now, it's surprising that anybody
could doubt it. And so then I decided to devote
my life to helping other people to understand the same
things that I had learned. And so I'm teaching people
about that now, and I'm devoting all of my time,
every hour of every day to doing it and looking
(33:41):
forward to more ways of doing it. And so those
are the reasons that we're cooperating in these endeavors.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Now, you're like the energizer Bunny on this to keep
on sharing, and you're doing just such good work.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Here's a question that came up. Of the different resources
you recommended today, which ones would you say would be
best for a novice.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
For after life communication. I would suggest going through the
self study and that's it, Afterlife Institute dot org slash
self hype and Guided, and I would recommend going through
that first. And the reason for that is because that
teaches you unfold and it teaches how to be open
to what's coming to you from the life after this life.
(34:25):
The second method I would recommend it is Jane Bistler's
so you can do it online with Jane or with
one of the psychotherapists. She's taught a lot of the
psychotherapists how to do it. Now we can get online
with them and they will teach you how to have
your own after life communication as they take you through
having one, and it uses EMDR uses that psychotherapy method
(34:47):
that I had described, and so I'd rarely recommend that
because of the fact that it is very successful. In
one study she had done it with sixteen people and
the fifteen out of sixteen had afterlife communications speri instance.
So I would recommend the self guided after life connection
or Jane Bistler's after life communication method because those are
(35:08):
the most successful. Today.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
We have a question about automatic writing. Is there a
way someone can train with a professional to do this?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
You don't need a professional. It's one of those things
that you can do all by yourself. You will get
better at it by doing it. So, in other words,
as you do it, then you'll understand what it's like
to be in the zone, to be in that state
of mind in which the messages bubble up from your subconscious,
they come out and you scribble them down as quickly
(35:38):
as you can and then what that does is it
eliminates the physical realm, so you can't think about it.
You're just scribbling down those words just as quickly as
they come to you. And when you do that, the
messages will bubble up from your subconscious into your mind
and your awareness, and you'll scribble them without having to
think about it. So you don't need to have someone
teach you how to do it. All you have to
(35:59):
do is sit down and do it. What you do
need to do is you do need to learn how
to allow unfoldment. Unfoldment means that you're allowing these messages
to come through the bubble up from your subconscious. That
requires that you just eliminate the physical realm. You shut
down the physical realm, and you can do that through meditation,
(36:20):
you can do that through automatic writing, anything that you
can do that will shut down the physical realm. The
psychotherapists method that's being used, they're just doing that. They're
using EMDR an eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing, and they're
teaching people how to then go into that state of mind,
and then in that state of mind, then they have
eliminated the physical realm and the subconscious comes out, and
(36:43):
that's where your messages are. We are continually all day long,
every day, getting messages from our loved ones, from our guides,
from helpers, from others who are interested in us. They're
continually coming to us. All we had to do is
relax and let them come through. And when we do that,
when we relax and we let the messages come through
from our loved ones, they realize they can communicate with us,
(37:06):
and so then they want to communicate more, and they
will communicate more. Some people say after the funeral that, well,
you know, for the first few months, I had the
sense that he was around me, and I had the
feeling like I was getting some messages from him. After
that though, they just went away. I don't know what happened.
And the reason is that you're not responding. So it's
like you're talking to somebody and they don't respond to you.
(37:29):
After a while, you're going to stop talking to them.
So what you have to do is start these methods
and practice them and go into them and allow them
to unfold to you. And as you allow them to
unfold to you, then the person in the life after
this life will be very excited about it, and they
will excitedly come to you and give you more messages.
They will do more things with you, so you can
(37:49):
have a new relationship. You can have an ongoing new
relationship with the person living in the life after this life.
All you have to do is communicate. Just allow those
messages to bubble up from your subconscious into your conscious mind.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
That's great. You know, somebody once told me, you know,
if Grandma sends you a Christmas gift every year and
you don't say thank you, she may not continue given
the gifts. Right, And I think our loved ones, we
won't know until we get there, really just how hard
it may be to communicate. And here we are as
human beings. We live in such a busy mind, and
(38:24):
we're so distracted by technology. And I think it really is,
like you said, unfoldment to get into that space. And
I've heard it said before as far as automatic writing
or anything. In the beginning, it could be ninety nine
percent you in one percent them. But their love is there.
And the more you're willing to work with them, and
(38:46):
the more practice, all of a sudden your mind gets
a little quieter. There's going to be more of them,
less you, and there's some really beautiful stories out out
there who have remained in touch with their loved ones and,
like you say, a whole new kind of relationship.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yeah, and it's a wonderful relationship. So it isn't a
substitute relationship. This is a fulfilling relationationship. Some people say
they couldn't have a relationship like this with their love
when they were on earth, but now they can have it.
All the baggage is gone, all the problems they're gone,
so it becomes a new kind of relationship. It's a
really fulfilling relationship. You just had to go into it,
(39:24):
be open to it, and allow the communication to happen.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
When we get back from the break, we'll hear from
a lady and get some instruction on automatic writing, and
we'll hear more about life in the afterlife and what
we're here for from doctor Craig Hogan. You're listening to
Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
(39:48):
Coast AM, a paranormal podcast network.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Stay there, Sandra will be right back.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Hey, it's the Wizard of Weird Joshua P. Warren. Don't
forget to check out my show Strange Things. Each week
as I bring you the world of the truly amazing
and bizarre right here on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Hi, this is your followgist
(40:31):
Kevin Randall, and you're listening to the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain
and before we get back to doctor Craig Hogan, he
recommends a woman named Teal Swan and her words for
automatic writing.
Speaker 7 (41:05):
Automatic writing is the written form of channeling, and even
though some people are particularly clear channels whose own thoughts
do not interfere with the signal of another being stream
of consciousness, all people are technically channels who can learn
the art of automatic writing, and it's one of the
most therapeutic tools to access and become aware of your
own subconscious mind. Step one, sit somewhere completely free from distractions.
(41:32):
I also want you to begin by using the hand
you don't usually write with. Your neural pathways are essentially
set up in congruence with the hand you usually write with,
and those neuropathways act as filters for any non physical
consciousness to be filtered through. We don't want any of
that filtering process to occur through the process of channeling
(41:56):
or accessing the subconscious mind. So I want you to
use the hand you don't usually write with. Get a paper,
get a pencil or a pen. When you get more
skilled at automatic writing, it will no longer matter which
hand you use. Two. Adopt position which makes you feel
the most relaxed. Some people, most of them, in fact,
prefer to be in a slightly reclined position with their
(42:19):
paper on their lap. The point is, you want to
make your body sort of like an instrument that allows
energy to move through it as freely as possible. So
I want you to go through your body in a
body scan, starting at the top of your head ending
at the bottom of your toes, and deliberately relax each
muscle within your body. Three, put your pen to the paper,
(42:41):
and consciously intend and decide to let go completely. You
want to let go of control. You want to let
go of inhibition. Just give it away, knowing that you
can gain it back anytime you wish, or you can
stop the exercise. Let go also of thoughts. Do not
think about the process of automatic writing. You simply want
(43:02):
to allow your pen to begin to move. You want
to let anything come through the pen that wants to
come through, no matter if it makes sense or not.
It doesn't need to make sense. Don't interpret what is
being written. You can do that later. Now that must
be said that it's normal for the mind to butt
in and try to take control. But if it does this,
simply stop writing and consciously let go of control again,
(43:24):
just like you did at the beginning of the exercise.
You can either do this with your eyes open or closed,
and you have to note that automatic writing can come
in the form of doodles, pictures, symbols, or words. Four.
Allow your pen to move for as long as it
wants to move, until you feel like the session has ended.
And after the session has ended, you can feel free
to look at the byproduct and begin to interpret what
(43:47):
has come out of that particular session. Five. I want
you to become familiar enough with this particular process of
just channeling in general before you try to channel anything
specific or any specific being or stream of consciousness. However,
once you feel like you're ready to do this, you
go on to the next step. Six. You have a
(44:09):
decision to make. Either you can open up to whoever
or whatever wants to come through you at this particular time,
or you can decide to specifically tap into and receive
the signal of a specific stream of consciousness or at
a ceased loved one six tap into their energy. What
(44:30):
I want you to do is to fully receive them,
as if you can feel yourself and your identity dissolving
into theirs. This is the conscious willingness to get rid
of your ego. Breathe them through you, and repeat the
process described earlier, except this time with a conscious invitation
for this specific energy to come through you. Imagine or
(44:54):
sense or feel the stream of consciousness literally flowing through
you as if it was a literal stream cascading through
you and through your hand. Then you can either let
the information that wants to come through flow completely without
asking questions, or you can engage in a kind of
dialogue whereby you ask questions or someone else ask questions
(45:16):
to you, and you allow this being to answer through you,
or this stream of consciousness to answer through you. Anytime
you feel yourself listening to the answers and information, or
wanted to take control back and answer how you want
to answer instead of allowing the information to come through
completely separative attachment to what is said. Simply stop and
(45:37):
consciously let go of control again. It will feel similar
to the feeling of swimming upstream in a river and
then suddenly letting go and allowing the current to take
you completely limp and with no resistance whatsoever. Again, I
want you to engage in this particular automatic writing session
for as long as the information wants to flow through you.
You will get a sense for when there's a kind
(45:59):
of completion. After that, feel free to look back over
what was said and interpret the message. The process will
become more natural and effortless, and the writing will begin
to sound less and less like you. As your thinking
mind gives way, you will eventually be able to step
out of the way for information to come through you.
It will be the most in the flow writing that
(46:20):
you've ever done. In fact, many of the greatest artists
in history are in fact channels who do not create
art writing, but instead who allow the art to come
through them. At the very least, automatic writing sparks some
serious creativity.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
I think those are good words, but don't get hung
up on exactly how to do it. There's one way
to do it. And that's your way to do it.
Just grab your keyboard, your computer, pen and paper, get
into a relaxed state, have love in your heart, and
start to write. We'll get back to doctor Craig Hogan now.
(46:55):
And I asked him a question about are we real
people and we go to the afterlife? Some people think
we are balls of energy.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
All of the information that I have is coming from
sources from the other side. None of it is through
my intuition, None of it it is from a guru,
none from a religion. Everything that I say is coming
from a source living in the life after this life,
and so then all of these things must be corroborated.
I expect to get the same messages from many sources
(47:25):
in the life after this life, and when I get
them that I know that they're true. And one of
the things that we get is the fact that when
we go into the life after this life, we have bodies.
We live in houses, we have streets, and we have meadows,
and we have mountains and seas and all of the
things that are wonderful about this life, but things are
even more wonderful there. So we do have bodies. And
(47:48):
people say there that when they woke up and the
life after this life, and they woke up in a room,
or they woke up in a meadow or wherever they
woke up, they thought they were dreaming because of the
fact that it's so much like this life. In other words,
then all of the senses are there. You have all
the sights and sounds, and the people then are there
walking around. It's like you have normal people walking around town,
(48:09):
and you're talking to each other just the same way
you would be talking. And so we know for a
fact that all of the sources from the life after
this life tell us that you have a body, and
you live in a life that is much like the
Earth's life, only much much more wonderful, and that you
needn't feel like you're going to go into a ball
of energy or that you're going to imburse yourself into
(48:32):
the great one entity. That just doesn't happen. That is
not the way that it happens. You will have a body,
you will be an individual. You will continue to be
an individual throughout your eternal life. So you don't need
to worry about Grandma being gone once you get there,
that she didn't reincarnate, because you are still an individually
when we go into this life. The notion of reincarnation
(48:55):
is misunderstood when people talk about incarnating. We as individuals incarnate.
We stay as individuals who we are, but in our
higher self, which is the larger self that we're part of.
The higher self that has another individual come into Earth's School,
and that other individual is entwined with us. They maybe
(49:17):
have taken a framework from our life, but they are
entwined with us. And so that new individual then comes
into Earth School and they become an individual who lives
throughout eternity. But because of the fact that they're entwined
with us, and we can have a past life regression,
we can learn about that other person's life. We can
have the images of that other person's life. But it's
because we have their framework. It isn't because we then
(49:41):
become another person. And so what we need to do,
all we need to do is to allow those messages
to bubble up from the ourt subconscious and we will
learn all of these things about the life after this life.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
I love your explanation of that, because a lot of
people think their child passes are the reincarnated and we'll
never see them again. I agree with what you have
to say. And also, if we look back on the
course of history, fifty years ago, we had half of
the people living on Earth than we do now, so
there's always been a population explosion. And if there's only
(50:15):
been reincarnation, we'd still only have a few billion people
on this earth. So I like that explanation, I really do.
And it's also been said from spirit friends that we
can have one foot over there and one foot over
here to use our human mind to try to figure
out what the afterlife is like or what our potential is.
(50:36):
I think it's impossible. We may not even know all
the answers when we get over there.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
Right, We're always learning, So in other words, when we
get to the life after this life, we don't just
sit back in our recliners and drink beer and just
have a good old time of it. We continue to learn.
So we will go into the life after this life
and we will grow spiritually. One of the ways of
which we grow spiritually when we go in the life
after this life is we will help others here on
(51:03):
the earth plane. So we'll come back to the earth
plane and we'll help others who are having difficulty or
a loved one is having difficulty. If you feel like
Grandma's has come back to communicate with you to help
you through a crisis, you're right, she does, and that
helps her to grow spiritually. It helps her to develop spiritually,
and at the same time, it's helping you to develop spiritually.
(51:25):
So we know the fact that the life after this
life is a reality, and it's a wonderful world in
which we will have opportunity to do all the things
that we would love to do. So we're here to
learn lessons to grow in love and compassion and to
have fun. And so some people are missing one of those.
You know, it may be that they're missing growing and
(51:48):
love and compassion, but they're having fun. But they have
to have all three. They have to learn lessons, grow
in love and compassion, and have fun in the experience.
