Author Roberta Grimes
Tonight we had returning guest author Roberta Grimes, author of The Fun of Staying In Touch, the follow-up to her The Fun of Dying book.
I started out speaking about a callback on a project, and that hopefully it won't conflict schedule-wise with Everything, which is almost ready to start filming my scenes
Roberta began with how we're Constantly Receiving contacts from oved ones who have Gone On before us, we often just don't recognize it. She had researched the tons of literature out there of reports of such contact Hello From Heaven by Judy and Bill Guggenheim about varied contacts.br Much of the contact goes unrecognized due to it believing it.
I conveyed my Dad's Penny story, as Henry mentioned it when Roberta spoke along the same lines.
Roberta spoke of the frequency of the physical plane, and how the conciousness of those who Have Passed now vibrate at a higher frequency. I pointed out she should check out the new film Intersteller, as its climax kind of touches on that concept. She also spoke of concepts of frequency very close to Yoda's teachings in Empire Strikes Back.
She spoke of her late brother who played with local electricity so she'd know if was He being in touch.
Ceiling Cat Barbara Duncan pointed out that Michael Shermer of Skeptic had had an experience that had to make him go Hmm... that a completely dead and irreperable radio suddenly on its own began playing on Shermer's wedding day.
With Kat absent tonight, CC took us to the first break, and I brought us back in.
CC reported our having listeners from the US, the UK, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Romania.
Roberta discussed how the dead communicate with us via our dreams that are remembered; also sounds that remind of the Passed person. She added how sometimes they can move matter, and produce specific scents.
A listener in Ireland in the chat room asked about pet spirits, as well as hearing one's own name being called. I pointed out the Rainbow Bridge.
We discussed the concep of the Eternal Now; Roberta indicated that as time is so relative, we are living all our incarnated lives At The Same Time, also referencing Brian L. Weiss's book Same Soul Many Bodies
Roberta spoke about visible manifestations, and goodbyes.
We discussed the "eating and drinking" in the afterlife at our celebratory arrival, but that the ethereal food isn't actually ingestible. We then went into the unsettling concept that there is "no sex" in the afterlife. Also touched on was our Life Review and having to forgive Oneself.
CC brought up the concept of suicides. Roberta answered how with such, it makes going through the Judgement/Review aspect, and that younger people have less issue with it.
After the second break, Roberta did clarify that there are some Not Overly Nice people who stick arond, earth bound.
Suddenly we had a Skype attack, rendering Roberta's voice so distorted she sounded like a combination of a Dalek and early Cyberman (it's like we're talkin' with Nicholas Briggs, our weekly "obligatory" reference to Doctor Who).
I pointed out that in the chat room we had someone indicating he's been clinically dead twice, but did not experience any aspect of an Afterlife, and a friend of my family died on an operating table and was resucitated but also could not recall anything. Is it possible neither of them "were dead enough," or that their non recollection is analogous to not recalling the previous night's dream? Roberta indicated that they'd not gotten to the correct vibratory frequency level.
Discussing mediums, Roberta referenced The Afterlife Experiments by Gary Schwartz and the Windbridge Institute
She discussed scrying and Raymond Moody experimenting with black-backed mirrors. Roberta also touched on pendulum use, and Carol Morgan.
Henry asked about electronic communications. Roberta listed the regular EVPs and such.
Roberta gave our her Seek Reality podcast on iTunes which has thousands of subscribers, and hundreds of new ones every day. I pointed out that as of very recently, The Paranormal View podcast is now also on iTunes. She also gave out her robertagrimes.com website, that her books are on Amazon (direct links are below), and that she always answers her rgrimes@robertagrimes.com email, and that's she both on Twitter: @Roberta_Grimes, and on Facebook.
I provided my website's Paranormal View hub page at which one can find the show's respective report pages, and that we're very findable on Facebook, et al.
As I was house- and cat-sitting and my regular text was back home, I was only able to impart for the absent Kat her website, and the show's @Paraviewradio Twitter presence, but not her new @SaveOurGhosts page, nor her other @jinxedcomic Twitter account, her Facebook fan page, her Hunt For Ghosts site, nor her Miss Grey graphic novel page.
Henry conveyed our guest next week would be Kimmy Jay Belanger regarding her A Witch Walks Among Broken Branches book.
