Life beyond death. After-death communication

LIFE BEYOND DEATH. AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION

The founder of Analytical Psychology, Carl Gustav Jung, suggested that deeply embedded in one’s psyche is an understanding that death is not the end of living. Yet whether or not there is life after death is a question humankind has grappled with since the beginning of time. It embraces a complex search for a number of answers, with the ultimate goal being an understanding of what happens to us when we die. The enormity of this question is addressed through many lines of inquiry, including through TELERF’s research into the apparent visions, communications, signs and messages that are received by the living from those who are deceased. Systematic investigation into this phenomenon has been taking place for many years, however, with the results of a significant investigative study of 32 000 cases of after-death contact published by the Society for Psychical Research, UK, as early as 1882.

More often than not, the profound understanding of those who receive messages and signs from deceased loved ones is that these communications are real and that their loved ones live on. Although the recipients themselves may be convinced of this, this is not to suggest that anyone who is not directly involved in such communication is entirely convinced of its authenticity. However, in some instances, these messages not only hold reassurance and comfort for the recipient but also carry specific and relevant instructions. Messages of this nature have been reported to TELERF and, on occasion, have enabled verification.

The message to Anna* from her deceased mother was that she should not be sad or grieve anymore, as she was well and happy. The message also asked Anna to go to where her late mother used to work. Anna was then to look in her mother’s desk drawer, in which she would find an envelope with money inside it. Anna was told that she should pay the debt owing as per the note and money inside this envelope. Anna went to her mother’s desk, found the envelope with the money and the note of debt enclosed, and did as she had been asked.

*Anna is a pseudonym to protect the identity of the family involved (TELERF, 2015).

Messages from the deceased can be spontaneous and direct, but can also be received in other ways including, by way of example, through a medium, telephonically or via a computer. A significant number of the bereaved speak of sensing the presence of a loved one through smell, sight, sound or touch. Contact may occur as a vivid and unforgettable dream or through sign/s that are, or become, relevant to the bereaved.

In the main, communications, visions, messages and signs are intuitively felt, by the bereaved, to be reassuring messages from deceased loved ones. Messages that confirm that they live on and remain connected with the loved ones they have left behind. For the bereaved, these experiences are valuable and meaningful, and tend to ease the grief of loss and lift the recipient emotionally. In essence, they are healing.

I missed my Mother terribly. It was as if she knew that. She came to me in a dream. But it was so much more than a dream. She lay next to me in my bed and she held me. She looked so well. She was glowing. I could feel her, I could smell her, as she held me. She told me she was happy and that I should not be sad. I know that my mother is alive. I feel so comforted by her visit, so warm inside. I will never forget (TELERF, 2017).

The vast majority of people who have a dream of this nature, or who experience ADC in another form, speak of the comfort that it brings as well of an inner knowing that their experience is real. Through this understanding their fear of death dissolves.

In her talks and webinars Elaine emphasises that, almost without exception, these after-death communications bring reassurance, meaning and transformation to those who receive them. To share your own transformative experience of this nature with TELERF please click here.

Rarely have I come across someone with the willingness to walk and explore where most fear to go. Elaine personifies that rare being who is on the forefront of dealing with that which we fear most… death and dying. It is a subject that most avoid. What I enjoyed about the workshop was her enlarged knowledge and experience. Would that her ground breaking work and fearless exploration of the subject of death and dying, and Life thereafter, benefit mankind and sooth the human heart (Marie C.)
