Scratching the Surface of Possibilities: Life Beyond Death

Tonight I had a visitor. It wasn't someone I was close to. She wasn't a member of my family or a dear friend. She was someone I would see at work. Boy did I love her sweet smile.

Let me call her “R” to protect her privacy. R did not visit in person. She passed away just a short time ago. To my surprise, my mind wandered to her. A split second later, she came through and said hello. That's the way it sometimes works as an intuitive. It's as if a thought creates an opportunity.

She shared with me her gratitude for where I work. In death, she was as happy and gracious as she appeared in life. Small, frail, but always humble. Quiet, kind, and if you had passed her, you wouldn't have noticed her. If you saw her, her smile and generous words would light up your soul.

That's the way it is sometimes with people. They pop into our lives for only a moment. Like two people getting on and off a subway together without much consideration. Perhaps they held the door open for you as you tried to squeeze in. Perhaps they gave you their seat. Perhaps they smiled at you.

Many people ask how I have this gift. I don't know how. I always have. I think we are all able to have the ability to do this. We are all born with this ability to see past our three dimensional world. We just forget how to.

Trust your instincts. That's usually your first entrance way into communicating with the other side. If you think you feel something or someones presence, you probably do. We are just so used to shrugging it off because we cannot see it with our own two eyes and feel it with our hands. Our minds are too logical. We question our own sanity in whether or not we just had a magical moment.

I do believe that one day science will identify what we call “heaven” or the “other side.” I believe it is just another dimensional reality. Until the most recent discoveries in the past month (where scientists saw a a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second before the Big Bang), scientists had realized between ten to eleven dimensions. The “String Theory” hypothesized ten dimensions, while the “M Theory” said eleven. Our first four are length, width, depth, and time. The fifth and sixth dimension deals with possibilities, like other potential futures based on decisions. The remaining deal with the universe, their own realities and futures, along with all of them together.

Now, the number of dimensions could be dramatically higher with this recent discovery. We cannot see them because we can only see three dimensions. It doesn't however, mean it doesn't exist.

We know radio waves exist because we hear the music in our car. We know oxygen flows through the air because we are alive. Our world already provides us everyday magic and miracles that we cannot see, but know exist. So, why do we deny that when our loved ones die that we cannot see them or communicate with them? It's not easy. It requires training. But isn't that just like anything we do? We have to learn how to do it before we can do it. Not many of us could hop onto a bike and ride it without practice and understanding how our feet need to move the peddles, how to steer and how to break.


So, wander around in the vast wilderness of your imagination. Let your mind take a walk while your body reaches a level of peace. Let your intuitive sense take over. Then, allow someone who you care for and has passed away, to pop into your mind. Think of them gently for a few minutes and see what happens. Perhaps you will need to practice a few times. Perhaps your mind will invent beautiful images. Or maybe, you might just get something for a fleeting moment. 

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form. So, who's to say that we are not energy-not just our body, but our soul, our essence. There is always "magic" around us awaiting to be discovered. Mostly, trying to communicate with the other side takes courage. It can be a scary thought that our discoveries will change our perception of the world. However, there can be comfort in knowing that we are never alone.
