My recent forays into this subject have brought me to a book, Hacking the Afterlife, by Richard Martini. He and a medium, Jennifer Schafer, have a weekly podcast. Richard is offering a very easy pathway for people to discover the afterlife on their own, without mediums, or hypnosis, and I have practiced his method, simply a progressive series of questions, as if playing a game- and the others that have allowed questions seem to come up with artifacts consistent with say doctor Micahel Newton or Biran Weiss work, but have found new information that was later verified by a living family member. That's kind of exciting.

I am not a medium. I have been practicing some techniques for personal growth that seem to have allowed access, which seem like mediumship, but I can only compare to what I have read about the subject, and channeling in general. I would say my personal discoveries have been more than generally helpful, personally- but I find I am always wanting more- bigger information sets, more consistent, effortless dialogue... The biggest hurdle I find is not judging the information- oh, I made that up, I am daydreamed that, that doesn't make sense to me... the times I was outside of judgement and playing along- my experiences solid real.

Nice to meet you, Kat... from a fellow explorer. The question you have above, their own my to discover list! I am not going somewhere there are no pets! I have heard we can be anywhere and anyone... Hearing that feels like confirmation. :)
