In 2004, a gifted spirit medium communicated with 7 Souls now residing in the afterlife. I was asked to publish their book and share their message with you.
If someone told you that they knew for a fact that none of us ever dies when our bodies do, would you believe them? According to the Seven Souls that wrote the words of this book, no one on earth truly believes in the afterlife until they wake up on the other side.
The good news is it doesn’t matter in the least. As a writer, my job is to present the information to you, the reader, not to debate whether there is an afterlife. The souls assured me that if you’re reading these words it’s no coincidence and many lives will change for the better because of it. The word ghostwriter takes on new meaning with this book. Over several weeks in 2004, a gifted medium recorded the spirit world’s views on a variety of topics, ranging from capital punishment to the meaning of life. This was done using a technique known as automatic writing, where the medium held the pen and unseen hands did the rest. I was asked to help the Seven Soul Writers get the book into your hands.
Some will consider this book to be a total hoax. Others will see it as the truth. Still others will find themselves caught between the two extremes. The way you live the rest of your life hinges upon which option you choose to embrace. Choose as if your life depends on it.
Excerpt
Chapter One
Introduction To The Spirit World
What if I told you that I know for a fact we never die when our bodies do and that there is life beyond what we see in this world? Would you believe me or would you say there is no way anyone could ever know what happens when we die?
If I told you that the spirit world shared the purpose of life with me and asked me to share it with you, would you doubt it? Would you brand me as a raving lunatic and/or a pathological liar? Or worse – might you have been told by church or society that anyone that claims to have received communications from the afterlife must be possessed by demons and is, therefore, guilty of black magic, blasphemy and heresy?
What if I shared some communications from the “other side” with you and explained how I got them?
Well, at the risk of being called crazy, or worse, I’m going to share some information that has been shared with me. Why? Because it might help someone out there that needs to understand there is far more to life than meets the eye.
In recent years, not one, but two very gifted spirit mediums informed me that I belong to a “soul group” consisting of seven writers (eight, including me) no longer living in the physical realm and that this soul group wanted me to write a book on their behalf. I’d never been much of a reader, let alone a writer, and the last time I’d written anything longer than a grocery list was thirty years earlier, which consisted of handing in a high school English class assignment.
One of these gifted mediums lives in New Zealand. The other lives in the Netherlands and the two have never met. Yet, both conveyed the same information about the seven writers, including the same names of two of the soul group members, Jacob and William. Yes, dead people apparently have actual names and some of them like to write. Not only do these two spirit mediums live on opposite sides of the world, neither had any more knowledge of me than they did about one another.
Like most people, I was more than a little skeptical about these communications from now deceased souls. My long-lost soul group members must have anticipated this, as they soon began communicating personal information that even the craftiest fake psychic and Scotland Yard together could never have known. The two mediums were able to contact a good number of departed souls that were once close to me in life. Each of them shared deeply personal details about people or places of my past, including the names of a deceased friend’s two sisters. Another close friend of mine, now passed over, came through with a long forgotten nickname of mine that only he called me. Still another departed loved one spoke of a hitching post in front of her childhood home that neither the medium nor I knew existed. That is, until I drove past her old house one day and saw an old hitching post staring back. My sister also popped in to say hello and mentioned childhood memories we shared that I’ve never told anyone on earth. She also wanted me to know that the addiction that killed her was a “dumb ass” thing to do and she was never going to do that again. The dumb ass wording caught my eye because it was one of her favorite expressions in life.
These are called “affirmations” and were given as a way to convince me that both the souls and the spiritual medium were the “real deal”. It worked.
Over the course of several weeks, the souls shared their views on a variety of topics, ranging from romantic love vs. divine love, murder, abortion, capital punishment and other earthly issues. The bottom line, however, is a message they repeated many times over –
1. We arrive in this world to overcome obstacles we have chosen to accept before our arrival here. It’s how we grow and learn to “Lighten Up” as souls.
2. Loving life and one another is the reason we are here. Learning to apply and share love in all we do is another way we grow as souls. Learning to apply faith is the key to living a fulfilling life.
They added that they want people in this world to understand life in their world and asked me to write a book explaining the afterlife to the best of my ability.
I protested that my writing experience was nil and I wouldn’t know how to begin, but they assured me that I was the right man for the job and that Peter would help me. Have I mentioned Peter? Well, Peter was the writing tutor they told me I would meet in Auckland, New Zealand, at some point in the future. They didn’t say when we would meet, but did say where he lived, including his street name and city. I was living in a tiny apartment above my sister’s garage in Massachusetts at the time. They went on to describe Peter in detail, adding that he was a short man who wore eyeglasses and was born and raised in England. They said that he knew a lot about writing and he would help me pull the book together. I’d been planning on moving to New Zealand in the near future, but knew money would be tight when arriving, so put the book on the back burner and spent the next four years building my tile repair business. By the time I finally got around to writing a book, I’d completely forgotten about this man called Peter. After enrolling in an online writing course, I emailed the course instructor with a few questions. He suggested it would be easier to answer them in person. When we met a few days later, lo and behold, a short Englishman wearing spectacles walked up, shook my hand, and introduced himself as Peter. He was a brilliant tutor and we remain very close friends to this day.
Writing a book that would help people understand there is an afterlife is something I’ve been meaning to do since 2004, when the Seven Soul Writers passed their messages along. Eight years later, I finally feel somewhat qualified to deliver my end of the bargain, although I don’t pretend to be an authority on the afterlife in any way. My only glimpse of life beyond this world resulted from an intense spiritual experience that instantly removed a 20-year addiction to alcohol in 1993. As a result of the experience, I wrote a book called Three Steps To Recovery two years ago, which is based on personal experience of connecting with a Higher Power than my own. It was an intense, amazing experience, which convinced me that there is more to life than we see in this world and that a power greater than our own not only exists, but consists of nothing but pure, divine love.
The experience was nothing short of a miracle and there are no words to describe it. One day, while wondering how to begin explaining to this world that invisible, dead people wanted me to tell their story, the idea hit me. The perfect vehicle to convey the spirit world’s message and help people struggling with spiritual dis-ease – which is the true definition of addiction and many other issues – would be to write a book about the spiritual experience.
I have since learned that many of the ideas that suddenly pop into our thoughts are not actually of our own making and the unseen hands of others guided much of the writing in my first book. I fully expect to receive the same guidance while writing this one. The souls call this “pouring oil”, meaning they use the spiritual connection between themselves and the person they watch over to instill knowledge and love. They refer to this spiritual connection as “wires” consisting of love. The wires act much like a telephone line, allowing two parties to communicate.
You will learn other unusual words and terms in this book, as well, like Wings and Lumes and Unlit Souls. You will read the Seven Souls’ views of life in their world, as well as this one. I’ve done my best to act as the messenger for the souls without adding my own opinions and beliefs. It should be fairly easy to differentiate their writing style from mine. They write much the same way they spoke a century or two ago, when they last walked in this world. When you see words like “hooey” or “woggle” or “wax and wane”, I guarantee they didn’t come from me. I’ve also italicized my own words, except in the final chapter, which you will read as chapter introductions.
To give you an idea of the way people spoke a century or more ago, here is an example of how one of the Seven Writers speaks –
“When we come to you we are like we once were in the world, because we must dress ourselves in the images of the past to communicate with you. This is why we can talk with you in a human way. We wish to be clear why we find it so difficult to write these words. It is because speech has changed since we were last on earth. It was a whole lifetime ago for me and even longer for others of us. What will Danny say if I tell him he is john with a writer’s cap? That means he is john other. John means clever, other means other than usual. I am Jack from Wales. Wales was where I lived when I last was on earth.”
They got the “other” part correct, at least.

Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
