In every walk of life there seem to be people who feel the need to stop others from following their instincts and aspirations and listening to that inner voice that sometimes calls out to be heard. I have never understood why people stoop to this level when the end result does not even affect them in any way. Do they really feel that they are looking out for our wellfare or does the possibility that we may find answers to questions they have not ,really bother them?

         This may be partly due to the laws of indoctrination where those in front of the line try to keep those further behind in a neat row but whatever it is, enough already. Life is like a big fertile sunny pasture with an accasional pile of poop that misses your attention. Think of the last time you took your dog for a walk, slowly but surely he dragged you by all his customary landmarks and happily lifted his leg to replenish his calling card so all the other neighborhood dogs would know where to find him. On the days when he gets lucky you might try a new route and he gets to sniff madly, pull you off the beaten path, drag and roll himself in some dirt and maybe get lucky by finding something discarded that he will get to chew and drag home. Well humans have a similar blueprint, noone takes us for a walk but society and the puppet master have a  firm leash around our necks and we perform the same menial tasks every day. On those occasions that we get a glimmer of something new, different and captivating we want to be left alone to explore without intrusion. And by golly sometimes we hit pay dirt.

         Finding things is what motivates most humans and we all do it in our own way. Some people do it in bars where they find things discarded by others that have made the rounds. Some find things with revolving accounts and buy things to make themselves happy when lurking beneath is a hole that needs to be filled with love. Others will play golf and swing at a white ball and send it flying across fields and pastures and finally into a designated hole so they can feel ellated and superior. You dont see us belittling you and accusing you of poor judgement.

          As far as those of us who are involved in the study of the survival of consciousness are concerned there is no lack of proof in what we have found. Infact the proof litters the terraine in all directions. We are stupified that what we have found is not front page news every day. Everyday I speak to a man through my evp maker from the otherside. He will talk as long as I record. Full sentences and paragraphs ? Just how much proof do we need? Most of us are not here to prove anything to others. What we have emmersed ourselves in is a labor of love and often the result of profound loss. We are happy to reach out to others when we feel that what we have discovered may also help them cope with loss and emptiness. What we do has very little to do with supernatural powers but just learning to focus our earthly life force in the right direction.

       In my opinion there is nothing more important than placing the search for the validation of life after death as a human priority. We have seven billion people divided into groups clashing with each other over various issues. We have no idea how we got here and according to some we have no idea if there is anything beyond death. Our population is surging and resources dwindelling. Supply and demand make the wheels of commerce turn which keeps everyone fed, clothed and taken care of. We seemed very intrenched in a life of pleasure, sex and material goods which covers what is truely lacking in our world. The immediate source of this emptiness finds its way back to the idea of who are we? and how did we get here? its no fun being the bastard children of the universe.

         If you were to wake up tomorrow and find the headlines declaring that life after death is indeed a reality, how would that change your life?

         * Would you suddenly take life at a slower pace and enjoy each moment?

         * Would you be less inclined to put up with abuse by others because they can no longer control your destiny?

         * Would you accept death as a temporary separation that allows the heart to grow fonder?

         * Would you stop pushing your children to achieve and stop worrying about them when they stumble?

         * Would you suddenly realize how important every human is in the big picture?

         * Would we put a greater emphasis in education knowing that it sets the foundation for eternity?

         * Would everything come into focus and take on new meaning?

         So the potential here for not only a life changing event but a complete overhaul of human conduct is possible. So why is this idea which finds its basis in all major religions so difficult to accept? Why are we subject to so many eyerolls and peculiar facial expressions. Why is it easier to live a life of uncertaintity than find comfort and truth by extending yourself and discovering the truth? The beauty of this approach is that the creator did not give this ability to just a few people. You dont have to belong to a special group or organization. You dont have to subscribe to a special doctrine. You just have to be willing to follow your heart and listen to that small inner voice that demands attention. Your life depends on it.

         Last but not least this last comment is intended for my fellow paranormalists. Those who are lucky enough to already know the truth in its many forms. I was just a neewbie not long ago struggling with my own loss and a desire to understand and I reached out to those that I deemed well versed in this field and i got a very unpleasant introduction. Some of you pre judged me, some of you tried to sell me free equiptment at a ransom. Still others laughed at my ideas within forums a place where people gather to share and learn. And those of you grandfathered into the system pitched a fit that anyone but yourself could put forth an idea and held onto yours refusing to share with another willing to learn. Suddenly I realized why humanity is so vulnerable. Our birthright has been erased and withhheld and now that it has been rediscovered it has become the source of ego trips, internal struggles and salesmanship where it will be bartered and sold to the highest bidder. Infact I have never seen darkness on a spiritual sense quite comparable to what I have seen within this community. Noone owns the deed to God and noone is going to copyright his truth to sell it as his own. Doing so simply places us at the beginning where major religions placed a price upon membership and hid the truth for their own consumption through secrecy and greed, pomp and circumstance. Organized religion is big business all over the world and a growing parasite in third world countries where people who are poor and uneducated are more prone to fall prey.

        Then we have the rediculous trend of actually creating a caricature of the paranormal realm in manners that just leave some of us speechless. haunted houses, tours of abandoned prisons and sanitoriums and a circus act that is demeaning to all of us alive and dead. I magine what it would be like if alien life forms showed up outside my window every morning so they could take photographs to show those back home that earthlings actually exist or giving guided tours on my front lawn as they call my name to see if I will come out of my house to see who is calling. Yes there are clearly those who depart life but not our dimension and baiting them for entertainment does not prove anything, I would assume if they are aware of us as they appear to be then they are putting on a performance to satisfy our curiosity and play into our gulibility.

          The public at large needs to understand that the paranormal realm is seamless and surrounds you and is best accessed right where you are in the comfort of your own surroundings. The best validation is when you reach those who have a bond with you and a reason to communicate with you. The goal is to bridge the gap and reinstate communication rather than collect disjointed words uttered by those that we may not know or by potentially bringing home a tag along that can upset the status quo in your own personal universe.
