Let’s talk about suicide and its aftereffects from a spiritual perspective.  I often get emails from people asking if they should commit suicide and wanting to know what will happen to their souls when they do.  That’s a really good question. We’re going to use the analogy of a play, as in a theatre production.  [...]

Question:  If every person has a “higher-self” then are we, as a race, just physical manifestations of our higher-selves’ energy? If a person is violent, or drug addicted, or acting with a prejudiced belief system, what does that mean about the energy of their higher-self? Answer:  To answer the first part of your question I [...]

Question: Can it be that it’s “designed” for a person to be “evil” in this world? I.e. could it be that for example Hitler’s life was preplanned by his higher self prior to his birth? Were all deaths and suffering caused by Hitler’s plans pre-designed in the ether, since suffering is no big deal from [...]

It’s been nearly a year since I began communicating with deceased loved ones on the other side.  I am continually amazed by this process.  If you had asked me 5 years ago if it was possible to speak to dead people in the afterlife I would have said yes but I wouldn’t have known how [...]

Question: How do people look in the spirit realm?  Are they just energy or do they look like they did in the physical realm?  If so, do they look like the moment they died? Answer:  Great question from one of our forum members.  The answer is that it depends on who is looking, why they [...]

Question:  I recently had to put my animal companion down.  She was suffering for years.  Is she on the other side?  Does she have a soul?  Is she doing okay now?  Will I see her again? Answer: I believe animals do have souls, though they are not quite like our own.  In the last year [...]

In my recent blog entry, Destiny vs. Free Will, I mentioned that before you incarnate you pick your parents and your life circumstances.  People always ask me why someone would choose to be born into a poor family, or into an abusive home, if indeed we are allowed to select our own situation.  Here is [...]

Is every event of our lives predetermined?  Is our entire course laid out for us and no matter what we do or how we try to avoid it, our lives will unfold in some predetermined way?  Is there such a thing as fate or destiny?  If so, what about free will?  Aren’t we supposed to [...]

Someone asked me recently to share some positive astral experiences since I’ve written about many of my encounters with lower vibrational, i.e. negative, beings on the astral plane.  This is a fair question.  At first I found it hard to think of a positive astral experience and that troubled me.  Maybe it’s because the darker ones [...]

Question: What do you make of the fact that the planet’s population is growing? Reincarnation implies that it should be stable, right? Answer: Not at all.  You are probably assuming that all the souls are incarnated at the same time, so that when one dies, another takes its place.  But there are many times more [...]
