Speaker 1 (00:49):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
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, discuss the reasons we now know that
our loved ones have survived physical death and so will we.
Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. Today, I was reminded

(01:12):
about a son who had passed. Before he died, he
purchased his mom a smart TV. She didn't know how
to use it. She came back home after shopping and
not only was the TV on, but YouTube was playing
one of my Sunday Gathering inspirational services. And then a
man wrote to me a couple of years ago, after

(01:34):
his three year old daughter had passed. He asked Siri
on his iPhone to play some news. Guess what played
one of my podcast episodes. So I think we all
have people in the unseen world and guides who direct
us to what we need to hear or what might
make a difference. So it's no accident that I'm recording

(01:57):
this episode today or that you are listening. But we
need to put our investigator hats on to discover why.
I was inspired by this title and I thought I'd
make an episode around it. Tim's Twins and the Afterlife,
So we'll meet three different Tims. Evidential medium Tim Southwell,

(02:17):
afterlife filmmaker Tim Coleman, and trans personal psychiatrist doctor Tim Reid.
Along with medical data on Twins, Twins actually give us
some of the most wonderful proof of the afterlife, from
crisis toe lepathy across thousands of miles, to deathbed visitations

(02:39):
to near death experiencers meeting twin siblings they never knew existed.
Twins prove that human consciousness is not bound by physical biology.
So let's begin. I'd like to introduce you to medium
Tim Southwell, who I've known for many years. He's been
through the training of Carrie McLeod and Phil Dykes. You

(03:01):
can find Tim with me on our free Sunday gathering
inspirational services so often. He's a wonderful medium and a
wonderful friend. Tim grew up in rural Ontario, Canada. Raised
in a traditional church environment. He learned a piano and
walked through early life accepting everything he was taught it,

(03:23):
always sensing in his heart that there was something more,
and like many sensitive souls, Tim grew up feeling a
bit different. He went to university, planning on going to
medical school before pivoting to music and education. But while
watching the Dove Awards in Nashville, a shift occurred, triggering
his very first awareness and that unseen, loving world that

(03:46):
was reaching out to him. The real turning point came
for Tim during his final week of teacher training. Tim
was in the backseat of a small car when it
was violently struck by a drunk driver. The impact outtered
his leg, but in that split second, Tim experienced something
that altered his path forever.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
In the car accident, it wasn't quite a near death experience,
but I believe now it is like an outer body
experience because I remember the impact. I was in the
back seat. Backseat was pushed all the way up to
my dad who was driving, or actually all the way
up to my mom. I was sitting behind my dad.
So what prevented that was one of two things. Because
my leg was snapped in that it kind of got caught,

(04:28):
and I was in hospital, so there's recovery and a
lot of time for myself for reflection and coming to
terms with things. I got to see a picture of
that car a couple months afterwards as well, and it
seems like that area that I was in, it took
a while to want to look at that. Actually it
was either my leg that stopped that from the impact
or it even kind of seemed like it was a

(04:49):
little protected. And I'm not saying that I know or
I feel that any divine thing, creature, spirit, angel, whatever
you want to believe, came to that rescue, but I
would not doubt now that that could be a possibility
that were your parents. Okay, parents, they were in the
front seat. They had kind of like a seatbelt burn,

(05:10):
you know, they had that bruise because they had that impact,
and they were protected by that mom a little bit more.
And so because the car was pushed up Dad less,
so because I was kind of part of that impact,
and so they were pretty good. They didn't go to hospital.
They didn't have a need to go to hospital. I
tried to get into the car, I couldn't because my
leg wouldn't go with me. So I had to be
lifted out of that. But in that experience and that impact,

(05:33):
I can still hear and feel. It was like I
was sort of shot out into a darkness and where
I asked, is this it if I died, and getting
a response back that no, you haven't, you need to
go back. And so that all happened in real time
and seconds it seemed like minutes like it did go

(05:54):
by fast. That's I think, to me, what triggered the
thought in my head that I need to instigate what's
more out there. I can do my job. I can
teach for a while, teach for a number of years.
Loved it, actually loved it more than I thought I would,
And there's a lot of the interaction with young minds.
I went into counseling for a bit too, and that's
even more interaction. You get to see a little bit

(06:17):
more right away, an impact that can help. And then
right before COVID, I said I'm not coming back. I
saved up enough money, kind of like a nest egg.
By that time, I thought I felt the calling to
go and investigate what'site there. Yeah, you know, a calling
that I just had to respond to.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
It's a powerful reminder that our greatest life crises often
serve as a wake up call that push us onto
our soul's path. I know that was true for me
after my dad died and here I am with you today.
But Tim didn't just walk away with a heeled leg.
He walked away knowing that we're so much more than
our bodies. Following the crash, Tim set out to find

(06:58):
real answers. He enrolled informal mediumship classes, but it wasn't
easy for him. He was plagued with self doubt, overthinking
everything with those thoughts we ask am I good enough?
Or is this all just my imagination? When Tim began
his training, he quickly realized that the spirit world doesn't
communicate like a telephone line. They don't shout in our

(07:21):
ears or write words on a chalkboard in our minds. Instead,
they communicate through the quiet, delicate language of clear sentience,
a word that simply means clear sensing or clear feeling.
It is that deep instinctive intuition that we may feel
in the pit of our stomachs. When a loved one

(07:43):
steps forward from the afterlife. They share their emotion, their humor,
their affection, and their memories directly into a medium soul.
But for someone like Tim, who was used to relying
strictly on logic, he had to learn to step out
of his animal litical brain and trust those subtle feelings.

(08:03):
He had to learn how to surrender his own ego,
stop worrying about being wrong, and realize that mediumship isn't
a performance. It's a sacred act of service for people
who are hurting.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I was one of the people in the first classes
that ducked out in the first breakout room. So you know,
they'd have the description, they'd have the explanation, and then
they say, Okay, now we're going to go to breakout
rooms and I'd be asked looking for that thing to
click out because I was too nervous. I thought, I
can't do this, And my gosh, here's the other thing.
What if people find out that I do this? What

(08:37):
about people? I know that's a hurdle. You do discover
certain personal hurdles that you have. The self limiting beliefs
is what Phill and Kerry would refer them as. And
if you have to look at them, you're not necessarily
going to get rid of them, but you do kind
of need to tackle them. Am I good enough? Imposter
syndrome when things start working and you say this shouldn't

(09:00):
be happening. In fact, I still kind of say that,
how on earth does this happen? Yeah? And I can
remember that breakout room, Sandra, because that was a Christmas one,
and I remember we're in the room and this was
one of the first times I think there was like
a small group of us, three or four maybe, and
we each had to read for somebody in the room.
We weren't sure where it was going to go. And
as information was coming through, Although you try not to

(09:22):
make it look like that, you're kind of going, oh,
my gosh, this is Yeah, that's right, and that's right.
The big thing for me in all of those classes
was clear sentience. Prior to that, I could maybe see
some things. In that first mentoring session, I saw a
button and then they asked me describe the button. Then
they asked me what's on top of the button because
it was something who does a button belong to? And

(09:43):
that mentoring session, that part, which lasted maybe ten to
fifteen minutes, that was mind blowing as well, and I thought,
this is right. Are they just saying this so that
you know I'll fall in? But no, you soon discovered
that's not who they are. They'll tell you what's what.
But that happened, and then in classes things like that
started happening. And in reflection again, this is where the

(10:05):
spear world steps in and kind of says, okay, clairvoyance
you're sort of used to. You're going to be saying
goodbye to that for a while because you need to
work on clare sentience, the actual feeling and you understand
all of the clays from fill and carry, and that
is called mental mediumship. But I was using basically my mind,
and that is fallible. It's easy to kind of derail

(10:29):
or not kind of get things right by that because
you're trying to interpret and you're just sort of the
minds trying to figure out what does that mean? What
does that mean? And instead clar sentience where you're feeling
with the soul, with the gut instinct, that sort of
intuition getting into that and eventually the feelings, knowing that
those are your emotions getting involved. That's the heart and soul.

(10:51):
And actually so in the readings that CenTra you're talking
about with the gathering, which kind of still makes me
chuckle because I get nervous with those, even though I
might see them down to earth and relax, still get
really nervous. It's just sort of letting go and saying, Okay,
I might go totally wrong here, I might be totally right.
It doesn't matter. Actually I'm not the one. This is
the self limiting. This isn't about me anyway. Coming to

(11:12):
that realization not looking at comparisons like that medium last
week was amazing. That's going to be scary to follow.
You have to try to get over that, and it
takes time, and as confidence comes, and not just confidence
and self, the confidence in the spirit world that they've
got your back. And I know that now.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
When Tim talks about the Claire's, we're talking about things
like clairvoyance, Claire audience, Claire sentience. What do those mean? Clear?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Seeing, clear, hearing, clear, knowing meaning. Often those in spirit
can use clairvoyance putting a picture in our head, they
can put words in our ears. That's Claire audience and
Clare sentience is just this feeling of knowing. In fact,
in the says that I've taken with our friends Carrie

(12:02):
and Phil, they say, don't pay attention to what happens
in the mind, because our mind can easily make us fearful.
Are we making this up? Is this our imagination instead?
Rule Number one to mediumship is to pay attention to
your feelings. I'm telling you this because it's not that
you have to be a medium, but your loved ones

(12:23):
communicate with you through your feelings. They do so with words,
they do so with images. That's why I always say,
slow down, pay attention to your feelings. It really takes
courage to be vulnerable and be a demonstrating medium. I
often say being a medium is like being on the
skinny branches. It's scary. What's my own mind and what's

(12:47):
coming from the spirit world. When we come back from
our break, we're going to hear Tim put his skills
to work in a live demonstration from one of our
Sunday gatherings. Plus we'll dive.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Into the world of twins across the Veil, and here
what top medical neurosurgeons have discovered about our immortal soul
will be right back. You're listening to Shades of the
Afterlife and the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm

(13:39):
Sandra Champlain and today's episode is called Tim's Twins and
the Afterlife. When someone we love dies, our human hearts
crave proof. We want to know, beyond a shadow of
a doubt, that our loved one is still alive, that
they still remember us and they're still part of our lives.
That's why good true evidence mediumship is vital. As Tim explained,

(14:02):
mediumship isn't about fortune telling or making predictions. It's just
about creating a bridge of love where a soul in
spirit can deliver their personal messages. And often the spirit
world doesn't choose big, dramatic statements to prove that they're
with us. They choose small, everyday, quiet moments that only

(14:23):
the family will understand. During one of our recent Sunday gatherings,
Tim was our medium and gave some evidence, not knowing
who it belongs to listen to this clip as Tim
brings through a mother in spirit who describes a very
specific memory frozen peas using their fine Sunday china with
a single pad of butter placed on top.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
As the concentration goes to one side here, I do
feel I have a mum that is with us in spirit,
no surprise, because I think a lot of us are
thinking of mums. Now there's a memory Mum's shared caring about, Okay,

(15:06):
frozen peas cooked on an oven. She's very being very specific,
adding a certain amount of water, but cooking peas fresh
and or frozen, usually frozen was something that she did frequently.
So I'm getting the sense from Mom that she would
have taken a little bit of ribbing for the amount

(15:27):
of time the family always had peas. It's quite good
and actually yeah, they're they're flavorful as well. She's going
further on just sticking there for a second there with
Sunday dinner that that was almost a guarantee because she
has that nice pad of butter. That's she was also
giving that too. We're going to go over to Christina.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Hi, Christina, Hello, how are you good?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Can you understand this information? Yes? Actually I can take
both informations. Okay, all that Sunday dinners? Yes, okay, great,
so I'm going to work with you. Yes, Now, she
really wants me to stick with the peas on the
table in fine China on a Sunday dinner. Yes, Dundee's

(16:14):
always had the fine dinner. I know with her meals,
they were very consistent. She had it down to a
certain art. Yes, because she's drawing me to the one
pad and you'd never do any more than that one
pad of butter on the top of the peas. Yes.
And it feels like she would have the table set
and everything would be looking perfect, smelling perfect too, and

(16:37):
before the family was called in. Yeah. And I'm not
sure if you I have a clock going off in
my background here, I'm not sure if you hear that. Okay,
so from mom and that clock going off, she's letting
me know that she was also someone who is timely.
She was always on the dot. Yes, she wasn't to

(17:00):
be precise, there, she wasn't if she could avoid it.
Not late, not early. In fact, I feel from her
that she would be a little not antsy, but she
did not like it when somebody would show up early,
especially extra early or late. Yes, you had to be
on time or else you'd hear from her. And I feel,
especially a family, you would definitely hear from her. Yes.

(17:22):
And she's telling me know too that if that was
the case, if someone did come up late for dinner,
they're the ones who are cleaning up the plates. We
all were. Yeah, yeah, yes, And as much as that
sounds a little bit like ruling with an iron fist,
that was not her at all. I feel that there's
a lot of love, a lot of there's a nice

(17:43):
sense of humor. I think I want to get into
here from mom. Mom had a good sense of humor, Yes,
she did, and I feel it could be quite sharp
and witty at times. Yes, And she's giving it to
me bit by bit because I think this is important
to her, and I feel okay, she also is relaying

(18:04):
that it was always meant with love, but here comes
the butt. But she could really get to the heart
of the person she was kidding.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes, So just a single pad of butter on a
dish of frozen peas served on fine china. Now to
a stranger, that might sound like a random detail, but
to the daughter listening, it's like hearing her mother's voice
alive one more time. When someone passes away, one of

(18:35):
the most painful tasks for the surviving family is going
through their belongings, clearing their home, deciding on what heirlooms
to keep, and carrying the heavy weight of downsizing items
that hold decades of memories. As this reading continued, Tim's
connection with this mother deepened. Watch how the spirit world

(18:57):
reaches directly into the private, unspoken of her daughter's current life.
The mother begins referencing a sentimental watch and the second
watch belonging to the father, and acknowledges the struggle her
daughter is having while trying to downsize her heirlooms brought
over from another country.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay, feeling too that we've jumped to cleaning out of
the house. So there was a time there where mom
had to downsize quite a bit. I'll take that back, actually,
before I even say anything, not downsize, but she had
to go through a house cleaning and get rid of
a number of prized heirlooms. No, no, okay, not her,

(19:41):
then that would be you who had Yes. Yes, I
don't believe she was on this plane when that happened.
I believe she was already in spirit. Yeah, So she's
bringing that forward and there must have been things. There
were things in fact that we're tied in with her
and her memories. Yes, and those were tugging at your heart.

(20:02):
She's relaying, yes, and she was there with you and
knowing what that felt like and just was sharing those
emotions with you at that time. Yes, thank you. And
she doesn't want me to leave that clock alone either.
So I feel like there must be a clock that
was passed down to you. A watch, a watch, okay,

(20:25):
And it's the watch. Although it has some value monetary
to it, I feel that that's more about emotional quality.
There's Yeah, there's a lot of memories that go with that.
And she's also relaying another watch that has a blue face. Yes,

(20:46):
I understand you understand that. Yes, that belongs to your husband.
Does that make sense No? No, okay, because I feel
there's a gentleman attached. Yes, yes it is, okay, and
this is from dad, Does that make sense? Yes, okay,
And I know there's a lot of sentimental value with

(21:06):
that as well. Correct. Yeah, So it's very interesting. Mum's
bringing all these elements in. And we talked about from
your mom that you did have to downsize. I feel
like she's implying there's more downsizing that's coming. Are you
that you're yes, yes, And that's tugging at the thought
of that is tugging at your heart very much. Yeah.

(21:30):
And from mom too, it feels like some of those
heirlooms they would come from another country also, yes, yeah,
and you don't want to dispose of that, You don't
want to have to give them up because they are
a connection to that country. Correct. Mom's there here to
say that she is with you in those hard to
make decisions. She's inferring that when it's a tough decision

(21:53):
whether to or not store, not store, giveaway, just ask her.
She'll be there for guidance. Thank you very much. Time,
thank you meanslent.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Remember it's perfectly okay to say no to a medium.
No simply means new opportunity. Let's dive into another tasty
bit of evidence. As a father brings through butter tarts.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Sandra, you know how food always kind of tends to
creep in. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, yeah, I think
specifically I'm with a father, but I want to bring
forward his love of butter tarts. Butter tarts are a
fond memory, and I feel that they would sometimes be
made at home, but even the store bought ones were
absolutely fine. And I know too that this gentleman was

(22:40):
one that was quite involved with his work. It took
many of his hours, and I do feel that sometimes
you'd be coming home late and his meal would have
to be waiting there for him.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
But she was fine with we have Connie with her
hand raised. Connie, you can find that unmute button and
press it. Hi Connie, Hello, Hi Connie.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Butter tarts. I thought, is this a Canadian person? So yes,
because I happen to know that that's a thing, which
I didn't realize at first. Okay, let's go to dad
and his butter tarts. He wants me to go specifically
about homemade or store bought didn't matter, true, Okay, raisins
are okay, but that's about the extent of what you're

(23:23):
going to put into them. You're not going to alter
them beyond that recipe. True, I do want to go
back to Dad and the amount of hours he put
in for his work. So you do understand that, yes,
And you understood that he would be here late sometimes
home from work. Yes, the dinner would be there, he'd
be helping himself in the kitchen, yes, completing his dinner

(23:44):
while everyone else had moved on. Yes, but no animosity
towards that. That was an accepted thing. He was happy
with it, Yeah, and from him, I feel also that
everyone else was good with that as well.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Now with that though, I do feel that it didn't
go unnoticed because I want to say that it feels
as if Mom would have mentioned in a kidding way,
but not so much a kidding way, just a reminder
that would be nice if you were with us. But
I understand. Yes, I also feel with his work though
he kept a lot of that to himself. He did, yes,

(24:16):
And in fact, people could tell with him that there
was a lot going on, but he wouldn't be the
one to go into details. That's true, and I do
know too that that would often weigh him affect his
mood once he was home. Absolutely, Yes, his mood would.
He's letting me know you could see there's something going

(24:38):
on behind the eyes, but he's more the type two
have not spoken to kind of.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Clam up yes about work.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, yeah, it just seems as if what's private is private,
and I'm not going to go into detail with that. True.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yes, we don't have time to play the rest to
this reading, but Tim went on to talk more about
the stress of the father's job and how he would
come home and unwind by directly talking to the family dog.
He accurately described Connie's dad's personality, how much he cared
about the details of her life, and confirmed that he

(25:13):
is actively watching over her today. So remember, when our
loved ones cross over, they don't lose their personalities. They
certainly remember the family dinners, the butter tarts, the dogs,
and the cherished memories. They continue being them on the
other side, and they continue being with you. When we
get back from the break, we'll talk about twins and

(25:36):
hear from a neurosurgeon as he reveals what can join
twins teach us about the immortal human soul.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio
and Coast to Coast am Hairinormal Podcast Network. Welcome back

(26:12):
to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain and we
are talking Tim's twins and the afterlife. Next, I want
to take you into another fascinating line of evidence, and
it is the extraordinary phenomena of twins. If you ask
anyone who's an identical twin, they will often tell you
that their connection defies physical science. When we look at

(26:35):
psychical research, end of life studies, and near death experiences,
the twin bond provides us with four of the most
evidential proofs of life after death. First is the phenomena
of crisis to lepathy. These are the countless documented cases
of identical twins living miles apart, where one twin experiences

(26:58):
a sudden violent physic symptom like a sharp stabbing pain
in the chest, or a choking sensation of drowning, or
even an overwhelming wave of grief. At the exact minute
there co twin suffers a fatal accident. Let's look at
the real life case of fifteen year old identical twin

(27:18):
sisters Gemma and Leanne Houghton from the UK. Jemma was
sitting in her bedroom upstairs when she was suddenly hit
with an abrupt, overwhelming wave of violent fear and a
deep physical sensation that her sister was in grave danger.
Jemma hadn't heard a sound and no one had called

(27:40):
out for help, but the intuition was so intense that
she ran down the stairs and ran straight into the bathroom.
There she found her twin sister, Leanne, completely submerged at
the bottom of the bathtub. Leanne had suffered a sudden seizure,
slipped under the water, and was unconscious and drowning. Jemma

(28:02):
pulled her sister out, performed CPR, and saved her life.
When doctors asked Jemma how she knew to run to
the bathroom, she said she didn't hear a splash or
a cry. She simply felt Leanne's physical panic hit her
own chest like a bolt of lightning across the house.
So that's not a coincidence. That's two souls tuned into

(28:25):
the same energetic frequency. Second, let's talk about the astonishing
phenomena of the shared death experience. This occurs when a
healthy person sitting at the bedside of a dying loved
one is suddenly pulled right into the death experience alongside them,
stepping out of their own body and glimpsing the afterlife together.

(28:48):
Here's the case of a shared death experience involving thirty
four year old identical twin sisters, Sarah and Rachel. Rachel
was lying in an ICU bed dying of acute organ failure,
and her twin sister, Sarah was sitting in a chair
holding her hand. Sarah was completely healthy and wide awake

(29:10):
at the exact moment Rachel took her final breath. Sarah
described the hospital room filling with a brilliant golden light.
Sarah felt herself lift right out of her body alongside
Rachel's departing soul. Together, the twin sisters floated above the
ICU room in a state of indescribable peace. Sarah described

(29:34):
seeing their deceased grandmother standing in the light and opening
her arms to welcome Rachel across the val Sarah traveled
with her twin sister right to the threshold of heaven
before a gentle voice told Sarah that she had to return.
She snapped back into her body sitting in the chair,
looked up and saw her sister's heart monitor flatline. She

(29:58):
didn't just watch her twin die, she walked with her
right up to the gates of heaven. Third are shared
deathbed visitations. Palliative care nurses often document hospice cases involving
a surviving twin who is nearing the end of their
earthly life. As they lie semi conscious in a quiet

(30:20):
hospital bed, they will suddenly sit up, eyes wide open
and bright, reaching out toward the corner of a room
with a look of pure joy. They describe seeing their
twin who has passed away years or decades prior, standing
in a radiant, loving light, extending a hand to guide them.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Across the veil. It's a blissful reunion, proving that the
twin bond was never broken by physical death. And the fourth,
one of the most remarkable forms of proof in near
death research involves the hidden twin. Look at the documented
case of a young boy named Jack, who suffered a
sudden cardiac or rest on an operating table. As his

(31:02):
physical heart stopped, his consciousness detached and traveled into a
realm of golden light. Standing there to greet him in
the light was a boy who embraced him with pure
affection and said, I am your twin brother. When Jack
revived and opened his eyes in the recovery room. The
very first thing he said to his mother was, mom,

(31:24):
I met my twin brother in heaven. His mother broke
down in tears, confessing a secret she had carried for
years that early in her pregnancy, before Jack was born,
she had miscarried his identical twin. Jack had zero medical records,
no family photos, and no earthly way of knowing that

(31:46):
a twin ever existed, Yet across the veil, his soul
recognized his twin brother instantly. These twin stories show us
that consciousness is not generated by the physical brain. It
is an immortal, non local frequency of love. To give

(32:06):
us the hard clinical science behind why consciousness cannot be
manufactured by the physical brain matter, we turn to world
renowned pediatric neurosurgeon doctor Michael Egnor, co author of The
Immortal Mind. Doctor Egnore spent his entire career performing delicate
brain surgeries on children. He knows the human brain down

(32:32):
to its microscopic fibers. In this next clip, listen as
doctor Agnor shares with the rare case of conjoined twins,
specifically Tatiana and Christa Hogan, who were born joined at
the head and actually share physical brain tissue teaches us
about the distinct, immaterial human soul.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
There is a small number of twins who are born
conjoined at the head and they actually share parts of
their brain. And there are a couple twins in Canada
who have this condition and they've grown up together and
it's Tatiana and Crista Hogan is their name, and they
share important parts of the deep part of their brain,

(33:17):
and they can do remarkable things that for example, they
can see partially out of each other's eyes, and if
you touch one twin's leg, the other person knows you're
touching that twins leg. They often share emotions, although not entirely,
but curiously, they don't seem to share higher intellectual function.

(33:37):
There's no evidence that, for example, one twin can study
math and the other can study history and they both
end up knowing the subjects. There's a definite distinction between
their intellects their capacity for abstract thought. And they certainly
don't share free will, meaning that they have different personalities. Well,
one twin likes certain things and doesn't like other things.

(33:58):
So what the twins who share parts so the brain
show us is that there are parts of the brain.
There are parts of the mind that can be physically shared,
that are physically part of the brain, that can be
shared with other people if the connections are just right.
But there are other parts of the human soul that
are not part of the brain and really can't be shared.

(34:20):
And these two girls are definitely different people. They're completely
different people in many ways, even though they share some
perceptual abilities.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
So that's a top pediatric neurosurgeon stating clearly that the
human soul is not part of the physical brain. While
our physical bodies have brain connections at handle sensory inputs
like sight or taste or smell, our core identity, our intellect,
our distinct personality, and our capacity to give and receive

(34:52):
love is completely immaterial and survives physical death. There's a
famous parable that I'd like to share with you. It's
called the story of two twins in the Womb. In
the mother's womb, two twin babies. We're having a conversation.
The first twin asked the second, do you believe in

(35:12):
life after delivery? The second twin replied, of course, there
has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here
to prepare ourselves for what will be later? The second
twin scoffed, nonsense. There is no life after delivery. What
would that even look like? The second twin said, I

(35:32):
don't know for sure, but I believe there will be
more light than here. Maybe we will walk on our
own feet and eat with our mouths. The doubting twin laughed,
that's absurd. Walking is impossible, and eating with our mouths ridiculous.
The umbilical cord supplies us with everything we need. Delivery

(35:54):
is the end of life, and after delivery there is
nothing but oblivion. The second twin calmly answered, well, I
think there is something, and certainly we will see mother
and she will take care of us. The first twin said, mother,
you actually believe in Mother? Where is she now? The

(36:16):
second twin softly whispered, She is all around us. We
live inside her. It is in her that we move
and exist. Without her, this world wouldn't exist at all. Sometimes,
when you sit in total silence, you can feel her
presence and you can hear her talking to us. So,
just like those twins in the womb in that story,

(36:38):
we are living in a physical womb right now. Physical
death is not the end. It's simply a delivery into
a world of vast light, freedom and love. This neurosurgical
reality forms a powerful bridge to the work of our
other two Tim's investigative filmmaker Tim Coleman and trans per

(37:00):
personal psychiatrist doctor Tim Reid. When we look across these
different disciplines, we see an overwhelming commonality. Whether we examine
evidential mediumship with Tim Southwell, physical spirit phenomena captured on
film with Tim Coleman, psychiatric trauma studies with doctor Tim Reid,

(37:23):
or neurosurgery on conjoined twins with doctor Egnoor, every door
leads to the same conclusion. We are eternal souls. We
are not wearing physical bodies and having a temporary spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings wearing a physical spacesuit for a

(37:44):
very short period of time. When we return for our
final segment, we're going to dive into the work of
filmmaker Tim Coleman from the famous Skull Experiment and discover
doctor Tim Reid's clinical findings on how consciousness expands when
the brain goes offline, and hear a bit more from

(38:04):
neurosurgeon doctor Michael Ignor on what near death experiences prove
to the medical world. We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back

(38:43):
to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. I'd like
to go deeper into the work of the other two Tims.
Let's first look at investigative filmmaker Tim Coleman, director of
the landmark documentary film called The Afterlife Investigations. Jim came
into this subject as a skeptical broadcast journalist. He wanted objective,

(39:06):
physical proof things that could be filmed, measured, and tested
under strict scientific controls. Tim spent years documenting the famous
School experiment in Norfolk, England. A team of researchers sat
alongside independent senior scientists, electrical engineers, and even researchers affiliated

(39:31):
with NASA. Over a five year period, they conducted hundreds
of controlled experiments to test physical spirit communication. What Tim
Coleman documented on the film was nothing short of miraculous. First,
spirit lights, spheres of brilliant energy floating around locked rooms,

(39:54):
darting around at incredible speeds, passing directly through solid woods, tables,
and even entered the chests of researchers, filling them with
intense emotional warmth. Next, he documented instrumental trans communication. These
are spirit voices communicating directly through audio tape recorders with

(40:19):
no microphones attached, using radio frequencies and raw audio signals
to deliver intelligent, real time answers to the scientific questions
that were asked to them, and last film inscriptions under
the strict supervision of professional photographers, factory sealed, unexposed roles

(40:43):
of camera film were placed inside locked wooden boxes when
the film was developed. After being in these skull experiment seances,
they found handwritten messages, poems in ancient languages, diagrams of
electroacoustic devices, and portraits of spirit team members clearly imprinted

(41:08):
directly onto the film. Tim Coleman stepped behind the camera
as a hardened skeptic and walked away as an eye
witness to the unimaginable, with physical proof that intelligence continues
beyond the grave. If you really want to get goosebumps,
go back to episode fifty six when I go into

(41:29):
the school experiment in detail with the founder, Robin Foy. Next,
let's look at doctor Tim Reid, Doctor Reed is a
leading psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in London who spent over twenty
years as the clinical director of emergency psychiatry at a
major hospital. In his clinical practice and research into psychology,

(41:52):
doctor tim Reid studied what happens to human awareness during
severe physical trauma and non orb ordinary states of consciousness.
Mainstream materialist medicine used to assume that when a person's
brain is starving of oxygen or undergoing cardiac arrest, any
visions they report are just hallucinations or random electrical misfires

(42:18):
of a dying brain. But doctor tim Reid's research completely
overturned that assumption. He documented how patients stepping out of
their physical bodies during cardiac arrest enter what psychiatry calls
trans personal consciousness, a state of hyperreal awareness that is
vastly clearer and more vivid than ordinary waking life. He

(42:42):
explained that our physical brain doesn't create our consciousness. It
acts as a limiting filter or reducing valve. When the
body undergoes physical trauma or death, that rigid filter drops away.
Human awareness doesn't shrink or turn off. It expands into
an infinite, multi dimensional ocean where unconditional love is the

(43:07):
primary organizing force of the universe. Bringing the medical evidence
together with doctor Reid's findings is again our pediatric neurosurgeon,
doctor Michael Egnor, co author of The Immortal Mind. Doctor
Egnore spent his entire career operating on the physical human brain,
but through his rigorous scientific analysis of near death experiences,

(43:31):
he arrived at the exact same conclusion as Tim Coleman
and Tim Reid that consciousness is not trapped in our
physical brain matter. Listen as doctor Agnor describes the undeniable
patterns seen in millions of near death experiences, including the
wonderful fact that experiencers meet loved ones who have passed away.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
Near death experiences are surprisingly common, no questioners have been
probably tens of millions of people over human history have
had things like this, and there tends to be patterns
to them that occur across cultures. People often feel that
they're leaving their body. They often see their body and
they will hover in the vicinity of where they have died,
and they often describe a kind of a tunnel experience

(44:18):
where they go down a passageway and they come into
a different world, and the world they come into is
often very beautiful, although there are some negative experiences that
are the most common ones are the pleasant ones, and
people go to the other side of the tunnel and
they see a beautiful world. They often will have some
interaction with the divine figure, and they generally will meet

(44:38):
dead friends and relatives. A fascinating aspect of near death
experiences is that, to my knowledge, has never been a
report of someone having a near death experience where they
met anyone on the other side who wasn't dead. The
only people they meet are dead people, and there have
been a number of recorded instances where people with near
death experiences have met a dead person on the other

(44:59):
side of the the tunnel who they didn't know was
dead before they died. The death was not known to them.
One example was a little girl who was in a
car accident and she had a near death experience in
the hospital, and her sibling had died in the car accident,
but she didn't know that she saw her sibling on
the other side of the tunnel. Her parents had not died,
and she didn't see her parents on the other side

(45:20):
of the tunnel.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
In all the millions of documented near death experiences across
human history, people only meet people who have already passed away,
and they frequently meet loved ones that they had no
way of knowing had died. That can't be a brain hallucination.
The afterlife is an actual destination. To bring our conversation

(45:43):
back to where we began, Let's go back to medium
Tim Southwell. Beyond the science, beyond the documentary films and
medical research. The real reason we explore the afterlife, my friends,
is so that we can live our lives here on
earth with our purpose and joy. Knowing that love never

(46:04):
dies gives us the freedom to stop living in fear
and start fully stepping into our true potential.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Life is lifelong learning. I've always believed that maybe the
one thing I would say on top of that is
there are struggles because you learn a lot about yourself.
It's never an easy journey. We all have life adventures
that go on. One of the interesting things I can't
say the most exciting things, but one of the interesting
things is everything that's gone on, and I can say
it for myself in my life and piano and music

(46:32):
is a big part of it. But any experience I've
ever had enters into where I am now, and all
of that stuff, good or bad. It almost seems I
design or was designed, or a combination of both. It's
not wasted. None of that has been wasted at all.
The happy spirits with a small les and the low
times the low spirits as well, and you really do

(46:53):
grow emotionally and feeling. That's been one of the biggest
areas that I've had to develop. It will be different
for each person, but it's quite the experience and the
people you encounter tend to be of like mind, so
that's very supportive, very helpful. And as time goes on,
that can shift and that can change your friends, your family.
You know, those things will change, but it's all part

(47:15):
of your spiritual growth as well. Just be open for
the synchronicities and you know things will occur and happen
when you're ready for them. Yeah, definitely seize the opportunities.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
Seize the opportunities and pay attention to the synchronicities. You
can find out more about Tim at Psychic medium Tim
dot com. For whatever brought you here today, and it
might be the grief of a broken heart, remember a
few things. Think of Medium Tim, who survived a car
accident and now bridges people through his mediumship with loved

(47:52):
ones across the veil, knowing that our loved ones are
cheering us on. We can think of the twins, Jemma
feeling her sister drowned for miles away, Sarah walking with
her twin right up to the gates of heaven, and
young Jack meeting his brother that he never knew existed.
Think of Tim Coleman capturing objective spirit evidence on sealed film,

(48:15):
doctor Tim Reid documenting the expansion of the human soul
beyond the brain, and doctor Michael Agnoor proving from the
operating room that our bodies are just temporary spacesuits. Every
one of them and every episode I have points to
the same truth. Our loved ones are still alive. Their
personalities didn't vanish, their humor didn't fade. The love you

(48:38):
shared with them didn't end. Love is the unbreakable, eternal
connection that spans across every mile, every ocean, and the
veil between the two worlds. My friends, you are going
to see them again, You're going to hold them again,
and until that day comes, they're silently whispering into your ear,

(48:59):
cheering you on. Your life matters, your journey matters. A
few announcements before we conclude today. If you're interested in mediumship,
we have a new film called Evidence of the Afterlife.
Just go to the bottom of we Don't Die dot
com and you can find the links to play it
on your favorite streaming service. We also have that great

(49:21):
film about itc and the audio and videos recorded by
researcher Sonia Andaldi. Also at the bottom of the page
at we Don'tdie dot com. If you enter your name
and email address, I'll send you a free copy of
my book PDF version. Also a list of Shades of
the Afterlife episodes broken down into different topics so you

(49:44):
can easily research things that are important to you. Also,
come join me on our free Sunday gathering inspirational service
with medium demonstration included. And if these episodes make a
difference for you, could I ask that you please share
on social media or just engage people in conversation about
the afterlife. I bet you more people believe in it

(50:07):
than you would possibly imagine. So until next time, please
remember love never dies. You are never truly alone. Your
loved ones continue to live their life in the unseen
world on their grand adventure, but they're keeping one eye
on you. Cheering you on every single step of the way.

(50:27):
