The Afterlife

By Bob Olson There is no direct answer to this question, although I wish I could give you one. What I can tell you is that every religion that promotes love over all else has got that part right. In all my work with mediums and channelers, I’ve never had a person in spirit tell… read more

By Bob Olson We most certainly continue our spiritual growth in the spirit world. Spirits often talk about it when conveying messages through psychic mediums. Channelers speak of it. And it was evident in my own Life Between Life regressions. We grow by going to school. We grow by teaching others. We grow by guiding souls having… read more

By Bob Olson Life in the spirit world isn’t all that different than life here in the physical world in terms of being with our loved ones. The most wonderful part about spirit life is that all we have to do is ask in our minds to be with someone and we are with them…. read more

By Bob Olson All your deceased loved ones will greet you when you die, especially those you love and trust the most. For one reason, they want you to know you are safe. They don’t want you to feel any fear while your conscious mind shifts back to spiritual knowing. But this is of no… read more

My father died before I had my baby. Is Dad aware of his grandson? By Bob Olson If your father died before your baby was born, then your father knew your son before you did. So your son got to meet his grandfather and vice versa because they were in the spirit world together before… read more

By Bob Olson There is no one answer to this question. You’d have to ask individual people in spirit what they do in the afterlife for a definitive answer, but there are some common things that people in spirit have mentioned to give you an idea. When you die and cross over to the other… read more

By Bob Olson The short answer is no, we are not judged or punished for our wrongdoings in the way most people expect. However, there is also no escaping things we did or said that brought pain, fear, harm or suffering to another. One of the events we experience upon our arrival back home in… read more

by Bob Olson When I was a young man, my 5-year-old cousin, Matthew, was hit by a car and died. I rushed to the hospital when I got the news of the accident. After the doctor delivered the news that Matthew had passed, he asked if anyone in the waiting room wanted to see Matthew’s body…. read more

By Bob Olson The same thing that happens to everyone in the afterlife happens to atheists. Just like people whose religious beliefs were way off base (by promoting judgment, hatred and/or separation, for instance), atheists arrive in the afterlife with great surprise. The moment they see their deceased loved ones in spirit greeting them home,… read more

By Bob Olson With so many religions teaching conflicting dogma, it’s impossible for them all to be correct. So the real question within this question is “What happens to people in the afterlife if their religious beliefs about life after death are wrong? On the surface, nothing happens except that you might be surprised when… read more

By Bob Olson Most people erroneously use the word “prove” when talking about the afterlife. The correct word to use is “evidence.” No one is ever going to “prove” the afterlife exists because proof is subjective. This is why we could have two juries look at the same evidence of an alleged criminal and one… read more

By Bob Olson The answer is both yes and no. The answer is yes because the memories of every life we live become an eternal part of our soul’s journey. And every life and every relationship is sacred and meaningful. So this will be true for you and your spouse. It is a relationship that… read more

By Bob Olson I have seen no evidence of hell in my investigations of the afterlife. I’ve had hundreds of personal readings with psychic mediums and witnessed hundreds of other people get readings and never have I heard a person in spirit say that they were in hell or that they were aware of such… read more

By Bob Olson Too many of the bereaved are suffering in their fear that their deceased loved ones are lost or stuck between worlds—commonly known as earthbound spirits. To me, this is a sad and unfortunate tragedy for the grieving because I have not seen any evidence of this belief in all my years investigating… read more

By Bob Olson My experiences have shown me that we as spiritual beings live many, many human lives. Although the evidence is clear from psychic mediums’ communications with spirits and from what near-death experiencers have learned while in the spirit world, the strongest evidence that we live more than one life comes from past-life regressions…. read more

By Bob Olson Yes, our deceased loved ones do watch over us from the spirit world. It’s a tricky phenomenon to explain because, once again, there is no time or distance in the spiritual realm. But suffice it to say that our loved ones know everything we are doing. Does that mean they are following… read more

By Bob Olson Oh yes, all our loved ones can both see AND hear us from the afterlife. Even better, they can read our thoughts telepathically, which means that we don’t have to talk out loud to them in order for them to hear us. Having said this, my father in spirit has suggested through… read more

By Bob Olson When we initially cross over to the spirit world after dying, some believe there is a period of transition where our spirits get reacquainted with the spirit world. In this phase, the recently crossed over are said to imagine themselves as they were in their physical lives (human lives). Since we can… read more

By Bob Olson Provided they’re both in the spirit world, and if you’ve had more than one husband, the one you feel closest with will likely be the first to greet you. But if you feel equally comfortable with both, then they might both come to see you at the same time. We must keep… read more
