CHAPTER 1Any mention of talking with the dead usually evokes a knowingsmile that implies that you are crazy. It is assumed by most people, even those who spend a lifetime praying and preparing for the afterlife, that it is impossible to communicate with those whohave passed away. After all, the body has decomposed; the brain,which they believe to be the repository of memory and the organ of thought, has decayed, so what is there remaining with which onecan possibly converse.The barrier between an understanding of the physical universeand an acceptance of the spiritual universe is present here andthose who think in this way are materialistic.That which is spiritual is not physical and vice versa. We are allspiritual entities and spiritual substance does
not
decompose. Thusit is that the personality and knowledge of a human being survivedeath.It is hardly surprising that many feel an instinctive repugnance atthe thought of communication with the dead since the stories of weird happenings at séances are well-known.As with incarnate beings, there are many different levels of communication with the spiritual world. The level of anycommunication is always dependent upon the intellectual standardsthat it contains. When ignorant, ill-educated people converse, their communication is invariably on a low level but, whenwell-educated, learned people do so, their conversation is on ahigher level.
