Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

My guest this week is Stephen Hawley Martin. We have a great discussion about his new book 'Edgar Cayce, The Meaning of Life and What to Do About It'.
If you believe it’s likely or even simply possible we humans are spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience, this book is a must-read. Author and metaphysician Stephen Hawley Martin interviewed three authorities steeped in the information contained in the more than 14,000 psychic readings given by Edgar Cayce [1877-1944] and received answers to the big questions we humans have been wondering about since we first walked upright on the African savanna. Martin shares the interviews and the answers in this volume along with a book he wrote recently that you can use to help you find and pursue your purpose.
Known worldwide during his lifetime as “The Sleeping Prophet,” Edgar Cayce twice-daily put himself into a hypnotic trance and was able to answer any question put to him. As the very extensive record shows, the accuracy of information revealed by Cayce that could be checked and verified was absolutely extraordinary.

This week I'm talking to Lorri Brewer about her book 'Heaven Time: Discovering a New Way of Life After a Near-Death Experience'
On September 19, 2010, author Lorri Brewer, was faced with the greatest challenge of her life. Her cardiac condition worsened and she was rushed to the hospital where she lost her life for just almost two minutes. She crossed over from this living plane to another energetic dimension suffering a near-death experience (NDE). Today this verifiable near-death survivor shares her intimate experience with death, the after-effects she continues to suffer from, and her inspirational insights on our world today. "My intentions in writing this book are to tantalize the mind, stimulate the heart's emotion, strengthen the foundations of faith, and inspire personal hope," said Brewer. "I am not attempting to convince anyone of the existence of an afterlife, prove that near-death experiences are real, or change any religious beliefs. Heaven Time is based solely on my personal beliefs since recovering from a NDE and enjoying another energetic dimension on this physical plane."
Bio
LORRI BREWER is a daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. She is also a successful business woman esteemed and appreciated by both her peers and clients for her strong moral compass and work ethic, integrity, and professionalism. On September 19, 2010, Lorri crossed over from this life to the afterlife and then returned with incredible knowledge and insight, which she now courageously shares with all of us in her book Heaven Time. Before being published, her amazing story and inspired reflections caught the attention of the CBC radio talk show The Current, with host Anna Maria Tremonti, the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), and the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF). These days, with her experience as a Competent Toastmaster, Lorri has created a series of motivational lectures and workshops in which she shares her life-altering experience and encourages others to discover for themselves the meaning of life and death. She is also working on her second book. When she’s not working or writing, Lorri enjoys sharing a simple, quiet life with her husband Larry, her son A.J., and a treasured circle of friends and family in beautiful Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

This week I'm reading from David Allen's book 'Life According to the Soul: Awakening the Hidden Connections Between Your Life and Your Soul’s Eternal Truth'
Where ancient soul whispers meet the rhythm of modern life.
Awakening the hidden connections where ancient soul whispers meet the rhythm of modern life. Drawing on authentic and previously unpublished transcripts from Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy sessions, Life According to the Soul bridges profound spiritual insights with the realities and challenges of modern life. Step by step, it guides readers to connect their life experiences with an understanding of how they are intimately connected with an eternal spiritual existence.
Bio
My working life began as an Apprentice Gas Fitter, through technical and managerial rolls to IT consultant, business owner, therapist, and political author, now largely retired, I’ve brought this work to the fore after about 13 years, because it is simply the right time. I had been conducting LBL (Life Between Lives) sessions for about 7 years from 2005, the year I undertook the training with the eminent Michael Newton as the lead trainer, until 2012, when I stopped work to concentrate upon a quite different role as my wife’s (Sandra) carer after her breast cancer diagnosis at the end of 2008. A few years have passed since then and the publication of this quite new perspective on the many spiritual revelations uncovered during these sessions took some time before forming into a realistic prospect for a book. That which I have discovered has been repeated by hundreds of other like-minded and like skilled facilitators.
The delay in writing the book was due, in the main, to a need to add a breadth of meaning and understanding not really explored that well in other similar texts. Rather than simply repeat the work that Michael Newton had pioneered, I wanted to connect these spiritual understandings to modern day living. Once I felt I had a sense of what I wanted to achieve with the book I began the onerous task of transcribing a seemingly endless supply of audio files, noting areas of special interest. The rather recent advent of AI, that could accurately turn an audio file into a textual document sped up the last of these quite dramatically. It still took about 18 months to two years to formulate the structure of the book in a way that would achieve these objectives best. Once that was decided in the back of my head, I began to write.
There have been three stages in my life where I have “grown” as a person and in my understanding about myself, my world and my spirituality. I came from a very practical background, was very focused on work and my family which I don’t think is too bad a place to start. I would have begun this with the short period as a musician where I went from playing in a group part time to going professional. Having been dabbling and playing since school I took the plunge and in 1969, gave up the full-time job (which actually paid), got married, and spent the next 9 months travelling all over the country for peanuts. All I learnt from that experience was that I wasn’t cut out for that kind of life. That’s not really personal growth so much as abject realism.
My first period of enlightenment was a two-year course in management (DMS, Diploma in Management Studies) taken when I was about 26. The course required engagement with people from very different backgrounds, all very able, and immersion in that environment opened my eyes quite a bit. A section of the course covered Psychology which added significantly to how I viewed the world and people. Secondly was the quite unusual involvement (because I was 30 years old) with Kyokushnkai Karate. I took my two young sons along initially and, of course, tried it myself.
They soon became bored, but for some bizarre reason I stuck at it, despite the fact that I had never been so physically and mentally stretched ever before. 20 years later, as a 4th Dan, I retired. Joints began to hurt more than before, and it was taking up too much of my time. However, I learnt a lot about myself as a person. The most significant period for me came after selling my small company and re-training as a hypnotherapist in 2003, aged 56. After an initial period, I began doing Past Life Regression and then after having read of the groundbreaking LBL work decided that I just had to train in that discipline as well. The whole period, including reaching trainer level in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), opened my eyes to different worlds, metaphorically and reality. Throughout my life I’ve done things that could be described as impulsive, or unfounded, but I truly believe now that some of those momentous decisions, including writing this book, weren’t really my ideas at all. Sometimes if you just listen, you’ll know what to do.

In this episode I'm talking to Jim Matlock about his book 'Signs of Reincarnation: Exploring Beliefs, Cases, and Theory'
Signs of Reincarnation provides the first comprehensive look at the belief in reincarnation and the evidence for past lives from historical records, anthropological studies, and contemporary research. Matlock discusses various ways the evidence may be interpreted and shows that although reincarnation entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. This book offers students, scholars, and anyone interested in the possibility of reincarnation an essential grounding in beliefs, cases, and theory, while opening doors for future research into the extension of consciousness beyond our present lives.
Bio
Matlock is an anthropologist and has been studying reincarnation since the early 1980s. Currently a Research Fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation and Associate Editor of the Journal of Scientific Exploration, he has worked at the American Society for Psychical Research and the Rhine Research Center, including as Acting Director. He has served as Treasurer for the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness, a unit of the American Anthropological Association.
Matlock has published numerous papers and book chapters on reincarnation and related topics, co-authored a book on children’s past lives in 2016 and wrote a solo book providing an overview of reincarnation research in 2019. He writes and edits for the Psi Encyclopedia, having produced more than 31 articles on reincarnation. His dedication to making reincarnation research more widely known is evidenced by his teaching of a post-graduate-level interdisciplinary course on the subject, and his ownership and maintenance of the 62,000-plus-member Facebook page Signs of Reincarnation: Research & Experiences.
