Hi everybody, Bill Olson here from Afterlife TV. Today I’m going to talk to you about the most compelling evidence of life after death.
Now, a lot of people know I used to be a private investigator for many years. I investigated things – crimes, including murder and theft, and then I got into chasing cheating spouses around, and eventually ended on specializing in personal injury, workers’ compensation investigations.
Then my father died in 1997, and I decided you know what; I’m going to use my skills as a private investigator to investigate the afterlife, because at the time, I really didn’t believe in it. I really didn’t know what to believe, but I was curious to where did my father go? What happens? Did he just poof and he’s gone or does he actually exist somewhere? If so, where is that? I had so many questions, and I basically wanted to know if there was such a thing as life after death.
Well, now it’s been 12 ½ years. I’ve been investigating this field in so many different ways, and I’ve found that there’s certain evidence that is just much more compelling than some of the other things, and I want to tell you what those are.
I’m going to go through them briefly. Over time, I’ll probably do a video on each one of them. Right now, I’m just going to cover them in a very short and brief way.
The first one I want to talk about, as far as the most compelling evidence, is mediumship. Basically it’s a reading with a psychic medium. A psychic medium is someone who can communicate with the spirits.
It was actually January 1999, when I had my first reading with a psychic medium. I was cynically skeptical, meaning I was more than just a skeptic, I didn’t believe at all. And I was fearful, as many people are.
Many people have some skepticism and they’re fearful when they get into a situation where they’re going to spend money on a reading with a psychic medium. I was there. In fact, I was prepared to do it and I was prepared to realize that I was just wasting my money.
Well that’s not what happened. I ended up having a reading that gave me a great deal of evidence that afterlife exists; a great deal of evidence that my father, who was in spirit for two years at that time, was really communicating with me, along with other relatives,. And it led me on this journey, of course, to then investigate more and more about mediumship, about spirit communication, and how this ability of spirit communication works, and of course, I never stopped; I’ve still been going.
Point being, I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in gaining some evidence of life after death, go have a reading with a psychic medium. And the reason is, because there’s nothing like having a personal experience. A personal experience can bring us to what I call a knowing, in contrast with believing or a belief. Believing is all about taking someone else’s word for it, believing what someone else has taught us. Knowing is about having a personal experience, so that on a cellular level we know that it’s true.
Now what’s true for me and what’s true for you can be completely different. The truth is very subjective, so it doesn’t really matter if your truth is different than somebody else’s, but it brings you to a knowing of what your truth is. And a reading with a psychic medium can really help you because the medium is going to be communicating with people that you know; people in the spirit world, people who have passed, but people who you know very well.
And hopefully, if this medium is a stranger to you, which I recommend doing it that way because they don’t know anything about you, they’re going to convey stuff – memories that you’ve had with this person, information about you, information about your loved one in the spirit world. And even information about things that happened yesterday, or last week, or last month that your loved one in the spirit world saw, witnessed, watched you do and is now conveying to you about what they saw that again.
The psychic medium knows absolutely nothing about you and is able to give you this kind of detail to convince you that not only is your loved one still around, still exists, and is in the spirit world, but is watching over you and is aware of these things that you went through. A reading with a psychic medium is just highly recommended.
The second most compelling evidence of an afterlife is still with a psychic medium, but it’s with what’s called a spirit drawing. So here you have a psychic medium; someone who communicates with spirits, but they’re also an artist. They also have the ability to draw portraits of the spirits that they’re communicating with, the spirits that they see.
My first one was with an incredible spirit artist by the name of Rita Berkowitz. You can read an article that I wrote and see some of the drawings that she did for me. There’s a link below this video that I’m going to link to, where I wrote an article about my experiences with her.
One of my experiences involved someone that I had never met before. I think it was a great-great or great-great-great grandfather, named Julius Sahl. Julius Sahl was from the mid-1800’s. There was only one picture in my family of Julius, and he was what they call a Green Mountain Boy; one of the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont. He was in the Civil War, and it was of him in his Civil War uniform.
When I was getting the reading from Rita, it was on the phone; it was a phone reading, and she was describing to me what it is that she was drawing. She was telling me that she was drawing him in this Civil War uniform. Of course, she didn’t know anything about Julius. Nobody knew anything about Julius.
She mailed the drawing that she did for me, to me and at the same time, I called my mother and said, “You know that one photograph that exists of Julius Sahl? Can you get a copy of that and send it to me.”
So they both arrived around the same time, and you’ll see if you follow that link, the amazing likeness of the drawing with the photograph. The only difference really in the two is that you can tell in the photography that he was probably a little younger than the way he showed himself to Rita when she did that drawing.
Unquestionably, though it’s the same person. It was great evidence to me, tangible evidence of an afterlife; the fact that she was able to draw my loved on in spirit. She’s done it with other loved ones. My grandmother, she drew my grandmother. Again, unmistakably, she was looking and seeing my grandmother when she drew her. She had many features of my grandmother that were identical. It’s just excellent tangible evidence of life after death.
The third thing that I highly recommend; an experience that you can go out and have is a past life regression. Now if you go to someone who does past life regressions – they call it hypnotize. Really all they do is relax you. They get you into a relaxed state so that your mind, your conscious mind steps aside and allows you to have these experiences. So you’re having these memories of past lives.
They’re there, anybody can do this. You have to allow it. You have to be open to it. You can’t have such a strong skepticism that you’re not going to allow it, so you won’t relax, you know you’re too fearful. You’ve got to just sort of relax and let these types of things happen. I didn’t think it could happen to me until I had my first experience.
Again, down below this video, I will link to one of my past life regressions that I had, that were absolutely mind-blowing to me. I love it!
What does that mean? How is that evidence of an afterlife? Well to me at, least, if we have these experiences – and again, it becomes like this cellular memory – it’s a knowing versus a belief that we actually lived these other lifetimes. Because it’s a multi-sensory experience. You know, you can smell things, you can see things, and you can taste things. It’s just like you’re reliving it. It’s like you’re there again. I could feel the body of the person that I was in that lifetime.
This guy named George, was just a big, burly, hairy guy and I could sense what it was like to be him again. To me, when we know that we’ve had past lives, then we know that there is something in between there. The spirit world being our home, our true home, is where we go in between lives and that’s where we start from, that’s where we go back to and so therefore, a past life regression to me is evidence of life after death.
Number four of the most compelling evidence of an afterlife is near death experiences. This is an experience that we cannot purposely go out and have. But thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions of people have had a near death experience. Basically what this is, you die for a few seconds or a few minutes either on the operating table, or you get struck by lightning, or you’re in a car accident and you die for a short brief period and while you’re technically dead, you have an out of body experience. You leave your body.
Usually we’ll say in the operating room experience, you leave your body, you’re hovering above your body. You’re able to look at yourself. You’re able to look at the doctors and the nurses in the room. You can hear everything that’s going on. Time and time again, the things that were said were verified later, and then usually you’re greeted by some kind of spiritual being. Everybody’s points of reference will describe this spiritual being a little differently.
Some will say it’s a beam of light. Some will say it’s Jesus. Some will say it’s a loved one from the spirit world or whatever it may be. You’re greeted by this being who then takes you into the spirit world.
Some people just get through the doorway of the spirit world. Other people actually get into the spirit world; see loved ones who have passed, who are ready to welcome them there and greet them. And then, in just about all of these cases, all of a sudden they hear that they have to go back. They’re told that they have to go back for one reason or another and then (snap), just like that they’re back in their body. But they have these vivid experiences that they’ll never forget, and they’re life changing, for better or for worse. They’re life changing experiences and every one of those people say, no longer do they fear death.
The spirit world was a wonderful, incredible, loving, warm, welcoming place and all of a sudden, they’re not afraid to die anymore, but they know that they’re back here and they all have a purpose. Lucky for them, most of these people now understand what their purpose is. So even though the spirit world to them, they realize, feels like a better place, they’re here for a reason and they know that they’re going to live out their lives and do what they came here to do.
Those are near death experiences. Certainly look up information on that, online, in books. There’s lots of documentation of it. Dr. Raymond Moody wrote some books on there, death experiences. He did many studies. A woman named PMH. Atwater wrote some books and did a lot of research. She had some near death experiences herself, if I recall correctly, and I love her books. She has a fairly new one that’s out there. It’s her last book, sort of a tell all, I don’t care anymore, I’m telling it like it is kind of book. It’s highly recommended that you read that.
Okay, the most compelling evidence of an afterlife, number five is past life recall. Past life recall is when, obviously we remember memories of a past life. This happens more with children than adults. It can happen with adults, especially if they go into an altered state. Say they’re hypnotized, maybe during regression or whatever it may be. Sometimes through dreams, we’ll have past life recalls.
But for me, the most interesting ones are the ones with kids. A lot of people that when we’re young, because we haven’t been away from the spirit world for long, our memories are still at the forefront of our mind, so we can remember our past lives, or at least our most recent past life more easily.
The documentation on this; again there is lots of it. One of the greatest books that was ever written about past life recall was about a young boy who remembered himself as World War II pilot; so a very recent life. The parents, who were very skeptical, decided they were going to just do some research on some of the details because the details were amazing that their son was given them about his past life and who he said he was.
We’re talking about names and all kinds of – like he knew what his plane looked like. He knew things about the military that young boys, at least this young boy should not have known, and they were able to verify it all. So it turns out, 60 years prior, he was this guy who he named. He knew what the guy’s name was. He knew that he was in Iwo Jima. He knew that he died in Iwo Jima.
A great book, Soul Survivor. Look up that great book about past life recall. The same thing, just like with past life regression; if we’ve had past lives, that means that there’s something in between. I call that the spirit world. That’s our true home and we just keep coming back to have life after life after life; to grow, to learn. That means that this isn’t going to be our last life either, for 99.9% of us, so that means we’re going to have future lives. I love this kind of stuff. Great evidence of life after death.
Number six, deathbed visions. A lot of people have documented that they’ve been in the room with their loved one who was dying, and the loved one will all of a sudden tell them that they’re seeing visions of people – they’re loved ones, they’re relatives, their friends in spirit – who are coming to great them, to welcome them home so that they are not afraid during their transition when they actually die and go back to the spirit world.
They’re having these deathbed visions. They’re on their deathbed and they’re having these visions of these loved ones coming to welcome them home. Sometimes they actually get glimpses of the spirit world during these visions. It’s gone so far as, sometimes the people who are not dying, but the relatives and friends who are in the room with them, while they’re having these, usually during the transition back into the spirit world when the person actual dies, they’ll experience it, too. The other people who are just there visiting, will have these experiences, too. They’re called shared death visions.
Basically, it’s like they go into an altered state and have like an out of body experience and experience what’s going on as their friend of loved one is dying. So deathbed visions, sort of coupled with what’s called shared death visions – you can look these things up online. There’s books written about these things. Just fascinating, fascinating documentation of life after death.
Number seven, dream visitations. Now there’s a great book out there called Hello From Heaven, written by Bill and Judy Guggenheim. I love the book, because it talks about after death communication. Meaning these are sort of the signs and the signals; the ways that our loved ones from the spirit world try to communicate with us, to let us know that they’re still in existence, that they’re still here, they’re still with us, they’re watching over us, to ease our minds about where they’ve gone.
One of those after death communications, one of the ways that this takes place is that they’ll come and visit us in our dreams, and we call these dream visitations. Well people who have had these dream visitations have told me – because I’ve talked to people who have had them, and many other researchers out there – that these dreams are so vivid, like such clarity, such incredible colors and details. Not only are they vivid, but if you had a dream visitation 20 or 30 years ago, even as a child, you will still remember it today as if it happened last night. So these are dream visitations.
Again, look it up. There are plenty of books written about it; a lot written online. Really fascinating evidence of life after death and I encourage anyone interested to look it up. If you’ve had one of these, now you don’t have to question it anymore, that your loved one actually did come to you from the spirit world. This was an easier way for them to visit you and let you know that they’re still around, that they’re with you, and that they’re waiting for you when it’s your turn to make that transition, and they’ll be there for you to welcome you back home, all right.
The eighth, most compelling evidence of afterlife, is life between lives regression. All right, there’s a guy named Michael Newton. At this time, he’s in his 80’s, from what I understand, or maybe early 90’s; I don’t know. Sorry Michael.
He was giving past life regressions and helping people with these experiences and came up with this idea of, well what if we don’t just go to that last day of your life in that lifetime? Why do we just go to the last day or your life and just end the regression. What happens if we continue? What if we just keep going, what will happen then?
To me, brilliant! Way ahead of his time. He decides to do this, and sure enough, the people having these experiences go beyond the death in that lifetime and keep going, and go back into the spirit world. The experiences that they have are absolutely astonishing. You need to read anything that Michael Newton has written. Journey of Souls, I think it was his first book. Look up Michael Newton on Amazon and you’ll find his books.
People go into it, and I’ve had this experience myself, it’s a long experience. These life between lives regressions are not like a 90-minute session; they’re like four to five hour sessions, and yes, you go into a past life, you go up to the day of your death in that lifetime and then you keep going. You go into the spirit world.
I met with this group of being called The Council of Elders. I met with the souls of people that I knew from this lifetime who have passed. I was able to see people from my soul group and recognize why we share this life together and that we’ve had many lives together and why we do that. I was able to have, what’s called a past life review, where I was able to look back at the lifetime that I had, had and learned lessons and the things that I probably did right and did wrong, and experience it all over again – the emotions, you name it. Even the emotions that other people who were affected by me were having in order to really gain and grow from that lifetime, and all the experiences I had.
Anyways, life between lives regressions; look them up online. Read Michael Newton’s books, just fascinating stuff and I highly recommend it, if you ever want to have an experience yourself.
The last one I’m going to talk about, number nine, is just children’s spirit contact. Now, really spirit contact in any way from someone who’s not a psychic medium – and I say that loosely, because really in a sense, we’re all psychic mediums. We all have the ability to do this, but some people go through their lives and they don’t consider themselves a psychic or medium, but all of a sudden they have a vision of a spirit. It might be at nighttime, it might be in the middle of the day.
A lot of times it happens around when a loved one passes and that loved one comes and visits them somewhere. I know people who have been at the cemetery, at the burial, and they actually saw a vision of the person who was being buried, to let them know that they were still around, still existed and were in the spirit.
I’m not talking about ghosts, although you could certainly label these as ghosts. I don’t believe in ghosts the way some people describe them. I believe all ghosts are people in spirit, just showing themselves to us. But the most interesting ones that I love, and I recommend that you do some research on, are children’s spirit context.
This is when little kids who don’t know anything about psychics or mediums, don’t know anything about the afterlife, all of a sudden are communicating with spirits. They’re seeing people in spirit and there’s been, again, hundreds of thousands of stories that have been told about people.
Usually parents telling these stories of their children, who are in communication, we’ll say, with their grandfather who had passed before they were ever born. And yet, they’re communicating with the grandfather and telling the parents things that they couldn’t possibly know because the parents never told the child anything about it. But the grandfather is telling them things and they’re relaying them back.
Children, who have no reason to lie, no reason to make up stories of this sort, and there’s no way that they could know a lot of the things they know if they were not actually in contact with some of these people in spirit. But it goes so far as, you know, a lot of kids have imaginary friends, and that’s because in many cases – sometimes I’m sure they’re just imaginary friends, but in other cases, they’re actually communicating with spirits, they’re talking with people who are in spirit.
And because it’s so hard for most parents to fathom, they just call them imaginary friends. Of course, the kids are then going to call them imaginary friends because that’s the way the parents describe them. Anyways, the next time you see your child talking with someone who’s not there, investigate; ask questions further, and see if maybe it’s not just imaginary.
I had a close friend whose young daughter used to tell her that, my friend’s mother – so it would’ve been the girl’s grandmother – wasn’t actually her mother’s mother, that it was her sister. And all the relationships that were in that family were suddenly getting mixed up because the daughter was having memories from her past life and the relationships were different in the past life than they were in this life.
She insisted, and it happened over and over again; it wasn’t just a one-time thing. Every time this young girl’s mother, my friend, would refer to her mother as the grandmother, she would insist, “No, no, no that’s not my grandmother, that’s my sister.” And this would go on and on like this.
Past life recall is what’s happening here. But sometimes, and getting back to the children’s spirit contact; sometimes the memories are simply coming because the child is in contact with that person in spirit, and they’re the ones who are reminding them of what their relationship was in the past life.
So you can see, all these things kind of work together and meld together. It’s very fascinating, and it’s a great way for you to take your investigation of the afterlife and make it so that it works best for you.
You know, what are you most interesting in? What’s most compelling for you? What’s compelling for me, might not be compelling for you? What’s most convincing, and what do you want to learn about?
So mediumship, spirit drawings, past life regressions, near death experiences, past life recall, deathbed visions, dream visitations, life between lives regressions, and children’s spirit contact; all that things I recommend you go out, learn more about it, and I think you’ll be very fascinated.
