This is not intended to be a book review blog, but… I just happened to have read three game-changer books recently that really “spoke” to me in a HUGE way. I wrote about Permission to Mourn by Tom Zuba in my November 1, 2019, blog titled “A New Way to Grieve.” The other 2 books I listened to this week each have a story in them that I want to share with you. I hope you find them as enlightening and thought-provoking as I did!
My first story comes from the well-known grief counselor, David Kessler’s, newest book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief.
The story goes like this:
In a mother’s womb were two babies. The first baby asked the other, “Do you believe in life after this world?” The second baby replied, “Why of course. There has to be something after this world.” “Nonsense,” said the first, “there’s no life after this world. What would that life be? The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after this would be impossible. The umbilical cord is too short. There can’t be a world after this one.” The second baby held his ground. “I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here? Maybe we’ll see each other there?” The first baby replied, “If there is another world, no one has ever come back from there. Leaving here is the end of life. After delivery, there will be no where to go and nothing but darkness.” “Well, I don’t know,” said the twin, “but certainly we will see mother, because she will take care of us.” “Mother!” the first baby guffawed, “You believe in a Mother – an all powerful intelligent being that makes all this happen!? Where is she now?” The second baby calmly and patiently tried to explain, “She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be a world.” “Huh! I don’t see her, so it’s only logical that she doesn’t exist.” To which the other replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence, you can hear her. You can perceive her. I believe there is a reality after this world.”
And I, Dianne, believe there is reality after this world in the form of the afterlife…I have written numerous blogs about it, but in Evidence of Eternity: Communicating with Spirits for Proof of the Afterlife, by Mark Anthony, I found the following excerpt to be fascinating and easy to understand. This is what the Psychic Lawyer, Mark Anthony has to say:
“Communication through transference of energy is a fact of life in the modern world. For example is you live in Santa Barbara, California and you use your cell phone to call your Aunt Martha in Liverpool, England, did you realize this involves a tremendous amount of equipment and energetic transfers? The decision you make to call Aunt Martha is an energetic impulse generated in your brain. This impulse is converted into mechanical energy as your vocal cords vibrate. This vibrational energy is now transferred into radio wave energy that is transmitted to a tower converting it into electrical energy. This energy travels to an antenna and is beamed to radio waves bouncing off a network of satellites orbiting the earth. This radio wave energy is then beamed to an antenna in England and converted back into electrical energy, which becomes sound wave energy as it is received by Aunt Martha’s phone. This sound wave energy enters Aunt Martha’s ear and causes her eardrum to vibrate. This vibration is transferred back into electrical energy and translated into her brain as, “Hello Aunt Martha!””
I don’t know about you, but my mind doesn’t understand how that works; yet I believe it to be true and trust that my cell phone will operate most of the time – which it does. This helps me to understand that we are energetic vibrational beings and I don’t have to thoroughly understand it all. I trust Einstein. He claims we are energy, which can change form like water to ice and steam; but energy cannot die. Thus, I have had evidence to believe our bodies die, but our energy does not. For more elementary information about energy and vibration, you can check out my blog, Fisics for First Graders.
Anthony goes on to say that as a medium he allows himself to be sensitive to frequency. A medium raises his vibrational energy as a spirit lowers theirs in order for both parties to reach a vibrational and frequency energy match. It’s like tuning into a radio station. Think of an FM radio station. The medium might be at 87.5 FM and the spirit might be at 101.5 FM. Both adjust to meet in the middle. When this is achieved, inter-dimensional communication – contact between the material world and the other side is achieved. During inter-dimensional communication, a medium’s energy field interfaces with the spirit’s – enabling the medium to discern information from the spirit’s energy field. Spirits vibrate concepts in energetic waves that are received by the medium and are converted into electric energy in the form of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. The medium then translates these into recognizable human concepts.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t understand how the light goes on when I trip the switch. I don’t understand how I put a CD (Yes, I still have some.) in the slot in my car and music comes out. But I do know it has something to do with waves and vibrations and I trust that it works. I also trust how this works on the other side.
David Kessler used another analogy in his book about a mother and the baby in the womb. Most mothers talk to their baby in the womb. They establish a relationship with the baby before it is born. It is different than the relationship she has after it is born, but it is a relationship nonetheless. I believe we continue to have a relationship after death – it’s just different. Different doesn’t have to be bad. It just has to be different. “Different” is a new way to think!
As Thanksgiving approaches, I am grateful for so many things – including our freedom to be different and have a new way to think.
Happy Thanksgiving to all – those physically here and those on the other side!
As always, please share any thoughts.
