In today’s bite-sized Afterlife TV episode, I discuss the continuation of life while in the afterlife. Basically, I’m talking about the life we continue to have on the other side (in the spirit world). This will help you understand what your deceased loves ones are experiencing now AND ALSO what you will experience when it’s your turn to go home. It might even change the way you live if you understand it properly.
In the first half, I’m talking about people in spirit recognizing the ripple effect of their life. This is where they get to experience how their thoughts, words and actions affected every person in their lifetime. It shows them how their life created a ripple effect that affected others, not only at that moment but in the future too.
What I’d also like for you to take away from this episode is that if you’re grieving someone who has passed, your relationship with them isn’t over because they died. You can still communicate with them and have a new relationship with them. And I discuss how they now have a new, clearer perspective of you from the other side.
All the beautiful photography on the video was taken by my wife, Melissa, as usual. Let us know what you thought of this week’s episode. We have such an awesome audience and we always love hearing from you. If you enjoyed the show, we’d appreciate your review on our iTunes podcast (link below). See you next time…

Unfortunately, Melissa’s not here with me today. I had this segment that I had done a while back that I was going to put in one of the longer episodes. And now that everybody’s enjoying the bite size episodes so much, that I’m not even sure how often I’m going to be doing the longer episodes. I’ll certainly do them whenever I happen to have somebody in studio here where I interview them. But otherwise I’m enjoying the bite-sized episodes and I know most of you are too, because they’re smaller segments where you get to really just sort of take things in 20 minutes or less, so for that reason, I just decided I would take this segment that I did and put it out there as a bite-sized episode.
Sadly for me especially Melissa is not here to join me with this because it’s something that is prerecorded. But next week she’ll be back with me again for sure. And lastly, I’ll mention that my new book, the title of the new book is”The Magic Mala,” and it is a novel that teaches. So if you enjoyed books like “The Alchemist” or “The Celestine Prophecy,” “The Way of The Peaceful Warrior,” even “Jonathan Livingston Seagull.” If you enjoy those kinds of books where you learn something as well as enjoy a fictional story, then I think you’re going to like “The Magic Mala.” So May 3rd is the release date, and I’m so looking forward to sharing that with you. What I teach in that book within that story is everything that I’ve learned about life while investigating the afterlife.
There’s also an afterlife theme within the story, but what is being taught are all the things that I have learned about life, and I found a way to teach them through telling you this story. All right, let’s get on with the show.

Welcome back, you’re listening to Afterlife TV. You can find us as afterlifetv.com. Now we’re going to talk about the continuation of life after we die. Now the first thing I want to say that I say all the time to you, which is don’t take my word for any of this, don’t take my word for anything that I ever say, what I’m really trying to do is inspire you to become your own afterlife investigator. But a lot of times when we have no concept of a particular idea, we’re not even able to recognize it wh in my book, “Answers About The Afterlife,” is give you my perspective based on what’s now become 18 years of investigating life after death. So that by knowing what my view of things is, then it might help you to create your own views, and really that’s what this is all about.
Now in talking about the continuation of life after we die. I was going to call this The Second Half of Life, and of course, that’s not as accurate a description as the continuation of life, and also it implies that half our life is one place, and the other half is in another place. But using that first description that I didn’t use, the second half of life. What I’m really here to talk to you about is the fact that our life experience, our single human life experience, is partly while we’re here in the physical, right, the physical realm, the physical dimension in our physical bodies, that is part of the experience.
The other part of the experience and you might say inaccurately, the second half of the life experience, is in the spiritual realm after you die. Okay, so this is where the continuation of life is, and I don’t think a lot of people think of it that way. I think a lot of people think of life as, you know, beginning when you’re born and ending when you die. And the fact is based on all the evidence that I’ve seen about life after death is that no, in fact, we have certain experiences while we’re here in the physical, and it is really, you know, the most important part in some ways because that’s where we are making choices, making decisions. This is where our actions are very important, but it’s the second part, the second half, the second whatever continuation while we are in the spirit world after our death, that we still continue to learn and grow from the experience as being the spirit of you, whatever it is or the spirit of the person who died.
So I’m going to use myself as an example. So the spirit of Bob, so here we are. I’m Bob Olson, and I’m living in the physical world. When I die I am then going to go home to the spirit world, and my experience as Bob has not completed. My experience as Bob is still continuing, and that’s what I want to talk to you about right now, is how it continues. Now a lot of us have heard about and we’re familiar with the life review process. And I’m not even really talking about that, that certainly is part of it, but it goes way beyond the life review process. And the life view process if you’re not familiar, is just this experience that we have soon after our death, soon after our going home to the spirit world, and we are shown our life in the physical realm almost in three-dimensional movie form, where we get to not only see what we did, you know, the choices that we made, the actions that we took, but we get to see how they affected other people.
Now that’s all very important and we’ll have another show on that someday, just specifically the life review process. But I think a lot of people are pretty familiar with it, a lot’s been written about it. We’ve seen in movies. So it’s not hard to get information about the life review process. What a lot of people are unaware of, and don’t talk about much is the idea that our loved ones in spirit, not including the life review process, after that are then able to actually follow us in real time. Because there’s no time where they are, so they’re following us because we live in the realm of time. So they’re following us in real time watching how our life takes place. They’re able to see how their existence here when they were alive, has affected their loved ones, their friends, their family members, their co-workers. In fact, how would their existence here affected the whole world?
This is a really important part of any human lifetime, is this continuation of life after we die, seeing how our life affected others even after we’re gone. So, for instance, an easy example of this would just simply being if you’re a parent, you recognize how your choices and actions as a human being while you were here affected your children. The way you raised them, the example that you played for them, the things that you did for them or did not do for them. So we’re seen both the positive and the negative in terms of our choices and actions, and we now are in the spirit world looking at our children going, “How did my existence as their parent affect them, and as to not only who they were back then but who they are today?”
And that’s the important thing and that’s what we’re here to talk about right now. For instance, my father passed I was I think I was 35, he was 64. I’m now 53 so there’s been many years that he’s watched me grow, and he has had the opportunity to see how from the age of 35 to the age of 53, how I was affected by his life. Now sometimes it was in the negative, and my father used to say this to me all the time, he would say, “You know Bob if I’m not serving as a good example at least you’re learning from me as a bad example.” And it was true. The reality is he made some poor choices in life, and I saw the negative consequences of those choices that he made, and I consciously told myself, I’m not going to be like that. I’m not going to make those same choices, and I’m not going to do that.
He now is able to recognize that from where he’s at, and not only see it when he was alive here he knew it. But now he’s actually seen it play out, and he can either be proud of that or he can learn from the things that he did, or did not do as a father in relation to how it affected me in my adulthood. This is true though not just for any one of us in terms of our kids, but our friends, and our coworkers, and our communities, and like I said, the entire world. What we’re talking about here is the ripple effect of our life. So when we’re on the other side we’re in the spiritual dimension, we can see with great clarity the ripple effect that our lives when we were in the physical had on all sorts of different people, and not just people, animals, and nature, and the economy, whatever may be. You know we as individuals affect a lot of different things in the world, and people are one of them, but if we did things to devastate a certain area of nature, that also then is going to affect people in the long-term, and we as spiritual beings will actually see that play out, as we’re watching our other loved ones grow into adulthood and old age.
So I find this very interesting for a lot of different reasons. One, I think it makes us think about how the ripple effect of our lives is going to affect others, not just today but tomorrow in the future, and it makes us pause. The one thing I’ve learned about learning about the afterlife is that it teaches me about life, and this is one of the ways that it is done. It makes me recognize the responsibility that each one of us has in our choices and actions, and how they do create a ripple effect and they can potentially affect many people, as that ripple continues in time. So that’s something to think about, but also one of the things that we will learn when we die, and go to the spirit world is that it’s not just about the people that we were directly related to, it’s also our example.
I remember when I was a kid, my friends’ parents had an effect on me, even though I didn’t know them very well, and that’s because I saw them as examples of what I may or may not want to be. You know, I had a friend whose father was a lawyer, and so for the longest time, I wanted to be a lawyer. I even went to law school because when I was in the sixth grade, I met the father of this friend. It’s amazing and then that friendship, you know, was fairly brief and yet I continued to have in my mind that I wanted to be a lawyer. This happens with our neighbors, with our friends’ children, with coworkers’ children, it happens with a lot of different people. And again, it’s not just children either and also we serve as examples to others as to their own lives. You know, they can look at you and they can say, “I want a relationship like he has with his wife. I want to be able to be an inspiring figure like that woman is in her work.”
We serve as examples to our neighbors, to our friends, and to people who we don’t even know are paying attention to us. And this is important for each of us to think about on a day to day basis. But one of the most important reasons that I brought this subject up, is because I know a lot of you are grieving the loss of a loved one, and that could have happened recently or it could have happened many years ago. And what I think is important to keep in mind, is that when our loved ones go away from this physical realm and then go home to the spiritual dimension, our relationship with them has not ended, but it is changed. It might not be what we want, you know if we could we stop people from dying altogether, but we can’t, that’s the reality of life. And so one of the things that we can do to make the best of a bad situation, is to recognize that my relationship with that person who has died is not done, it’s not finished, they’re not gone, it’s different.
And when we recognize that we then can take steps to purposely work on that relationship. How? Well, we’ve talked about that in many ways on the show over the years since 2011 when I started the show. I’ve had many guests on, we’ve talked about after death communications, and mediums, and near death experiences, and you know the things that we learned from so many different people about the afterlife, and it helps us understand what our loved ones are now doing and experiencing, and going through in the spiritual dimension.
And knowing this we are able to have a new relationship with them. Why is this so new? Well, it’s because they’re now able to see us. The moment that they died and it really can be this instantaneous. The moment that they died they are now able to see us with perfect clarity. Where when they were alive they saw us through the filter of their own lens, their own perspectives. You know, sometimes we look at people and where our view of them is distorted, just because we have a long history with them, and we never really in our minds allow them to change. The reality of this is when we interact with others, we interpret our relationships based on emotions, right?
So you see somebody and it’s about how they make you feel. I know that I’ve always been entrepreneurial, and I know that I’ve had a lot of people as I was creating a new business or doing a new project. Sometimes it made people feel bad about themselves, because they wanted to be doing things and they weren’t, and so when they saw me achieving some goal that I had set out for myself, they were not supportive of me. They were just the opposite. They were giving me all kinds of reasons why I shouldn’t do it and why I was going to fail, and they acted as though they were going to protect me by convincing me that it was a bad idea to do it. And at first it used to hurt, and then eventually I realized that it wasn’t that they didn’t want to see me succeed, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to support me. It was how what I was doing made them feel.
So we don’t get this anymore. We don’t get that we’re not reflecting anything to our loved ones in spirit anymore that is going to make them not want to support us wholeheartedly. They see us with great clarity meaning, they know what our intentions truly are. And if they’re pure and if they’re good, they’re able to finally see that in ways that perhaps they were never able to do before. Now I didn’t know this when my father died, when my father died I really didn’t know anything about this subject. And so he passed and I thought my relationship was over. I thought that was it. And he tried communicating me through what we call ADCs, after death communications, and I’ve talked about the ways that he did that in other shows. But that was all new to me and I was learning and I didn’t know it for sure. Now I know and so when Melissa’s father died about a year and a half ago, the end of his life he was on medication, you know, pain medication and so his moments of being lucid were less and less with time.
And so it was difficult to have a good conversation with him. It was difficult to really communicate with him in a way where you knew he was fully understanding everything that you were saying. In his case when he actually passed, I got the phone call and I was driving to I think I’ve described this once before, I was driving to Melissa’s parents’ house, right after he had passed. And I had a conversation with him, because I was so excited now that I could finally communicate with him with perfect clarity, and he knew it and I’m sure he was relieved by it as well, because a lot of people don’t know that they can communicate with their loved ones in spirit the second they die.
In the same way, now Melissa felt a wonderful sense of relief because her father now would see her with perfect clarity. And she knew that he would be proud of her for that, and she wrote a poem about it because it was such a wonderful revelation to her to recognize that her father who maybe never could fully see who she was as a human being, now could. And this is true for each and every one of you who have lost a loved one. When you know, so many of you worry do they know I love them? Oh, you know they know you love them, they know it, they know it in ways that you might not even fully comprehend because the love that you feel for them is just embracing them in a very energetic way in the spiritual dimension.
And it’s wonderful and they’re trying to do the same for you. But because we are in our intellects so much, a lot of times we don’t feel it. So the communication from to them is perfectly clear. Now the communication the other way can be a little bit more difficult when they’re trying to communicate with us. And so we do have a lot of different ways that they can do that just through your own intuition. I know a lot of people have recognized that they can talk with their loved ones in spirit, just in their minds they can say something, and they know that their loved one is impressing the answers to them almost intuitively. Other people just need to go to mediums in order for that kind of communication to happen, now that’s not as clear because, you know, the medium is then making interpretations of the information that they’re getting, and a lot of times those interpretations are in error, but a lot of times they’re clear, and most of the time they are and for some that’s the best they’re going to get.
So it’s an amazing gift that we even have anybody that can do that. That’s one of the reasons that I talk about mediums, and I think that what they do is so valuable. So why don’t we leave you with that and I hope that it’s helpful to you, and I hope that if you haven’t already, you will start to have a new conversation with your loved ones in spirit. Talk to them knowing that they can hear you. Talk to them knowing that they see you with perfect clarity, and recognize that they are doing their best to try to help you while you’re here. You’ve got someone watching your back, and that’s always a wonderful thing to know.
Okay, I’m going to end it right here. I wanna thank everybody for all the comments, the lovely comments that you’ve left. I want to thank those people who left reviews on iTunes under my podcast.
