Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

This week I'm talking to Tracy Palm about her book 'Heaven Said to Tell You'
"What if Heaven had a message... not just for one person, but for all of us?
Heaven Said to Tell You is not simply the story of one woman's extraordinary spiritual encounter. It is the message she was entrusted to bring back.
During a gathering of faith leaders, Tracy Palm experienced a profound out-of-body journey into the spiritual realm. There she encountered overwhelming darkness, breathtaking love, restored understanding, and a powerful heavenly Presence that revealed timeless revelations about God, humanity, and our purpose. The message was both deeply personal and profoundly universal. She was shown that we were created for relationship with the One God who is the source of all life, and that His love is meant to restore what has been divided-between God and humanity, between each other, and even within ourselves.
Rather than offering another story about surviving hardship, Heaven Said to Tell You invites readers to explore questions that touch every life:
Why are we here?
Who are we?
Why is there suffering?
What separates us from God-and from one another?
Can broken relationships truly be restored?
Is love more than an emotion... could it be the very foundation of creation?
Through biblical insight, spiritual revelation, and practical wisdom, Tracy shares the teachings she believes Heaven intended for all of us to discover, not to promote a religion, but to point people toward the God whose love reaches beyond every barrier and whose desire is reconciliation, unity, healing, and hope.
Whether you have walked with God for years, are searching for answers, or have wondered if there is more to life than what we see, this book offers an invitation to discover hidden parts of yourself and the One who has never stopped pursuing you.
Heaven said to tell you... you were created for love, for purpose, and for relationship with God and one another."
Bio
Tracy Palm is the author of Heaven Said to Tell You, a deeply personal account of extraordinary experiences that transformed her understanding of God, His unconditional love, and the connection we share with one another.
For more than fifteen years, Tracy has quietly shared the teachings and truths revealed through those experiences with individuals, families, and small groups. Over the years, her commitment to serving others took many forms. She became an ordained minister, established a nondenominational church, and founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to help meet the spiritual and physical needs of others beyond the church walls. Along the way, those truths have shaped not only what she believes, but how she sees and loves others—with greater compassion, understanding, and a desire for reconciliation.
Through Heaven Said to Tell You, Tracy now shares those teachings with a wider audience. Grounded in biblical truth, her message invites people from every background to discover God's unconditional love, look beyond the things that divide us, and pursue reconciliation with God, ourselves, and one another.

This week I'm talking to reading from Bud Megargee's book, 'The Soul's Afterlife: Inside the Soul Octopus'
What does it mean to live with a soul that is both anchor and tide?
In The Soul Octopus Analogy, readers are invited on a journey that is part story, part meditation and part mirror. This is not a book of easy answers - it is a philosophical fiction that asks us to sit with questions that shape our lives, identity, grief, memory and the shifting currents of transformation.
Through imagery and imagination, the narratives explore how we come to know ourselves in a world that constantly remakes us. The Octopus - fluid, elusive, and infinitely adaptable - becomes a living metaphor for the human condition; stretching into the unknown, retreating into the shadows, and surfacing with new forms of meaning.
This is a book for readers who crave depth, who want fiction that lingers after the last page. It is a voyage where philosophy and story intertwine and where readers may find a reflection of their own hidden chambers.
Bud Megargee writes in the language of questions, believing that mystery is not something to be solved, but to be lived. His story begins in a working-class town of Pennsylvania, where the grit of industry and the resilience of community shaped his earliest sense of self. From those roots, he turned to psychology and health care, rising into leadership roles that demanded clarity, responsibility, and compassion. Yet beneath the surface of titles and systems, a deeper curiosity stirred, one that asked not only how people live, but how souls endure. The search carried him far beyond the familiar. In the stillness of a Taiwanese monastery, Bud discovered that silence is not emptiness, but a teacher. Monks, patients, and unseen companions became his instructors, each offering fragments of wisdom that resisted neat conclusions.
His writings grew out of these dialogues—intimate exchanges that illuminated the fragile beauty of uncertainty, the resilience of spirit, and the mysterious companionship of the soul. Bud’s prose reflects the dual cadence of his life: the precision of a clinician and the wonder of a pilgrim. He writes not to instruct, but to invite—to walk with readers into questions that matter, questions that linger, and questions that remind us that life is larger than the boundaries we draw around it. In the countryside of south-eastern Pennsylvania, Bud lives with his daughter, Case, and continues to explore the mysteries that have always followed him: What lies beyond the near-death experience? How do we hear the voices of the soul? His words are not a map, but a lantern—a companion for those willing to wander into mystery.

This week my guest is Sharon Rawlette. We talk about possible sources for coincidences such as spirit guides, God, deceased loved ones and what they mean. We go through many different areas and it's a fascinating conversation.
This all comes from her new book The Source and Significance of Coincidences: A Hard Look at the Astonishing Evidence.
Every now and then, we all have experiences that seem too meaningful to be chance but that we can't explain in any normal way. Now, philosopher Sharon Hewitt Rawlette tackles some of the hardest questions surrounding such coincidences, also known as "synchronicities":
How can we calculate whether a synchronicity is too improbable to be just chance?
What hard evidence is there that these events convey genuine messages from God or our deceased loved ones?
Do ordinary people have the psychic ability to create coincidences, for themselves or others?
Why do coincidences sometimes harm or deceive?

Rawlette brings together an immense body of research (drawn from science, statistics, near-death experiences, deathbed visions, and many other extraordinary human experiences) that clearly points to a meaningful reality beyond the bounds of current science and at the same time demonstrates both the promise and peril of interpreting synchronicities as signs from above. Rigorously paradigm-shattering, this volume will leave skeptics and believers alike ruminating for years to come.
Sharon is an analytically trained philosopher (PhD from New York University, 2008) who specializes in metaethics and the metaphysics and epistemology of paranormal experiences. My most recent scholarly publication is on the topic of the statistical significance of psychic coincidences and their implications for belief in psychic causation. Her past publications include The Feeling of Value (2016), a defense of analytic descriptivism in ethics, and "What do our intuitions about the experience machine really tell us about hedonism?" (2010).
