“Since my first book, Talking to Heaven, came out 20 years ago, I have been traveling the world, communicating with spirits, and spreading the knowledge of life after death in demonstrations, lectures, and workshops. I usually start off every workshop or lecture with: ‘You are a spiritual being having a human experience.’ Life here on Earth is a schoolroom, and while you inhabit a human body, your interactions with family, friends, lovers, co-workers, and strangers in all sorts of circumstances and situations are meant solely for the soul’s learning.
The biggest illusion we have is that we see ourselves as being separate from one another. In love, we are not separate. That is why love is not something that you do; love is truly who you are. Love never left you and will never leave you; love is complete, constant, and immeasurable. Everything we experience in this life is meant to remind us that we are love. The question is: What is holding you back from experiencing love in every moment of your life? What are you waiting for?
As you reconnect to your soul, your priorities in life may change. You will discover that the answers to all your questions lie within your soul, not outside you. As I opened my mind to the power of love, I had many creative, forgiving, imaginative, and compassionate experiences. By constantly receiving impressions from Spirit, I learned how to distinguish my ego’s fearful and insecure thoughts from the still, small voice of Spirit’s love within me. I learned that by not judging my thoughts, no matter what they were, I was bringing more love into my awareness, and in doing so, I experienced more fun and freedom in my life.
Our earthly existence is just the tip of the iceberg — a speck of sand on the beach. When we realize that this life is just a fleeting moment in our soul’s existence, it becomes clear that earthly concerns are merely illusions.”
