Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Conversations with Eric

Sandra Champlain Talks About Conversations with Eric
The wonderful afterlife expert Sandra Champlain is Roberta Grimes’s longtime personal friend, and she is our guest today on Seek Reality for the 19th time, this time to share with you a terrific new book about the afterlife sent to us from the afterlife. Sandra Champlain is an indispensable leader in the field of afterlife education. Her own great book, We Don’t Die, is the story of her personal trip from doubt to certainty after her father’s death. And now Sandra has made teaching everyone that we don’t die the central mission of the whole rest of her life! She guests frequently on George Noory’s poplar Coast to Coast, where she keeps the world up to date on the latest afterlife news. Every Sunday, she hosts a popular Sunday gathering, and she puts out TWO weekly podcasts, one with George Noory called Shades of the Afterlife, and her own podcast as well, which is called We Don’t Die.  Now one of Sandra’s close friends and collaborators, the British trance medium Scott Milligan, has just put out a book about his work with spirit communicators entitled Conversations with Eric – Life, Death & the Afterlife through the Closed Eyes of a Trance Medium. Roberta has begun to read this book, and she considers it to be amazing! Sandra’s website is wedontdie.com.

Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Ali Crawford Talks About Heaven Help Us

Ali Crawford Talks About Heaven Help Us
Our guest this week is unusual. Ali Crawford is her pen name, but we are happy to use it because she is protecting herself from the baddies in her family’s scary past. In Ali’s book, Heaven Help Us, she talks about her awful childhood, her son Jake’s visions, and the frightening things that she says happened to her family that were confrontations with dark and dangerous forces on both spiritual and physical planes. Those who are familiar with the Bible know that Jesus removed scary demons that had possessed people, and perhaps you thought those were metaphoric tales, and those demons were not real demons at all. Well, actually they were real, and such demonic creatures still do exist, although most modern people never encounter them because nearly every modern person’s spiritual vibrations are high enough that we can avoid them. “Shadow Men” are the most common very-low-vibration modern nasties that you might hear about, and there is a Shadow Man in Ali’s book. Fascinating! The more evil some being is, the lower it vibrates and the weaker it is. It has to feed on our fear in order for it to exist at all, so that is what these nasties do. They try to scare us in the dark, so always give young children a nightlight, especially if they are very afraid of the dark. If they are afraid of the dark, there may be a VERY good reason! If a Shadow Man latches onto a small child, he will sometimes try to cling to that person and be a problem for his whole life. Heaven Help Us is a fascinating book about how using spiritual good, which is God’s pure love, to fight spiritual evil, especially including religious evil, is going to be a winner, every time! That is what Jesus did. And we can do it, too!

Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Going from Grief to Growth

Brian D. Smith Talks About Going from Grief to Growth
Our guest today is Brian D. Smith, and he is with us for the third time. Brian has long been a spiritual seeker. He started out in the Pentecostal religious tradition, and later became part of an evangelical community. After that, he became a Christian Universalist. Then later on, he studied Buddhism and various mystical traditions. As a young man, Brian says that he was pretty deeply scarred by toxic religion, which, among other things, instilled in him an intense fear of death; but further study helped him to alleviate a lot of that fear. So Brian was living a beautiful life, with his lovely wife of now more than thirty years and his two young daughters. But then in June of 2015, his younger daughter, Shayna, unexpectedly transitioned in her sleep. She was not yet 16 years old.  After Shayna’s transition, Brian tells us that his spiritual quest intensified because of some extraordinary visions and messages that he was receiving from his daughter. As a result of those experiences, he immersed himself in researching the afterlife, taking a scientific as well as a spiritual and philosophical approach to it. He says that now he felt that he really needed to know, and not just believe, what was true about death and the afterlife. And he learned so much that he ended up writing a book. It’s entitled, Grief 2 Growth; Planted. Not Buried. Brian D. Smith is also now a successful podcaster and blogger, and he shares all that he has learned as a teacher and grief counselor within the wonderful organization, Helping Parents Heal. His website is grief2growth.com

Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Direct-Voice Mediums

Dr. R. Craig Hogan Talks About Direct-Voice Mediums and Leslie Flint
Our special guest today is everyone’s favorite. He was our first guest, back in the summer of 2013, and he has been with us faithfully, four or five times each year, ever since. Dr. R. Craig Hogan is probably the world’s leading expert on death and the afterlife. He teaches and keynotes all over the world, he puts out a popular monthly newsletter, he heads the Seek Reality Online website at seekreality.com, which is the world’s biggest and most important afterlife-related website, he has written some very important books, and he also does a regular video educational series. Craig Hogan is very big indeed in the afterlife field!  And it was Craig who first urged Roberta Grimes to write The Fun of Dying, fifteen years ago now. And then all the Fun books that followed that first one. Very appropriately, he gives us something very old and formative and very exciting today in the field of afterlife communications. For Craig’s 49th Seek Reality interview, he talks with us about, and he shares some of the work of the classic direct-voice medium, Leslie Flint.

Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: What My Brother Knew

Kristina Amelong Talks About What My Brother Knew
Our guest today is Kristina Amelong, who tells an amazing story! Kristina had a younger brother named Jay, who began to say calmly when he was very young that he was going to die young, he would die on his bike, and he even predicted the color of the car that would kill him. And, sure enough, when Jay was thirteen and Kristina was seventeen, it all happened one day exactly as he had predicted it. And Kristina was plunged into a psychological mess for decades! As you can imagine. Her new book, just out, is called What My Brother Knew. And it is an emotionally gripping, eventually spiritually triumphant memoir of Kristina’s life, her discoveries, and where she is now. Kristina Amelong tells us that she had a working-class childhood in Madison, Wisconsin, that was filled with abuse, addiction, and loss, but she has managed to overcome addiction and chronic illness, raise four children, and even found a successful holistic health business called Optimal Health Network. She has developed natural protocols which have helped thousands of people to heal from a wide range of digestive and other chronic issues. Her first book, before her new memoir, was “Ten Days to Optimal Health: A Guide to Nutritional Therapy and Colon Cleansing.” Kristina is now a senior board member for the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to a reweaving of the human story that she tells us will help to guide humanity through the current evolutionary crisis. She adds that she has a passion for photography, gardening, backyard chicken-raising, and pickleball. Her website is www.kristinaamelong.com

Julie Wignall Talks About The Extraordinary Power of Fireflies
Julie Wignall is with us for the first time. Her rather unconventional career has spanned politics, business, the arts, and even environmental conservation.

But Julie believes in the power that individuals can have to create major meaningful change. So she coined the term Fireflies to describe these people who are able to break barriers and illuminate new possibilities. And her multi-award-winning book is called The Extraordinary Power of Fireflies. It shares inspiring stories about people who have dared to reach out, break barriers, and try to make a genuine difference. Some of her stories really are great!

Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Doing Spirit Rescue Work

Father Nathan Castle Talks About Doing Spirit Rescue Work
Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest who lives and works in a community of Dominican men and women serving the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is a lovely, gentle, and very spiritual man, and About thirty years ago, he was recruited by elevated beings not in bodies to do spirit rescue work with them. As Roberta has only lately become willing to admit, almost twenty-five percent of people who die will go off-track for a time, and they often do that by their own choice. Which is where our wonderful friend Father Nathan often comes in! He is one of those who are trusted to help to rescue some of those off-track people, once they feel ready to complete their afterlife journey. Father Nathan’s terrific first book in which he describes his rescue process came out several years ago. It was called Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over. And everything in it was completely consistent with what Roberta has learned during all her five decades of doing afterlife research. Then that book was followed by books two and three, with similar titles. Father Nathan’s books are all wonderful and entirely consistent with the afterlife evidence, and he has become a regular on Seek reality. This is his eleventh time with us. His website is Father Nathan Castle, O.P.

Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Spiritual Empowerment

TJ Woodward Talks About Spiritual Empowerment
Roberta first met and interviewed TJ Woodward about ten years ago, right after she had read his first wonderful book, called Conscious BEING: Awakening to Your True Nature. She saw that book as fundamentally her own Liberating Jesus, but based in eastern religious teachings, and not in the teachings of Jesus! Which was great, because some people have been so traumatized by the fear-based nature of Christianity – not by Jesus, of course, but by some of the Roman Emperor Constantine’s ideas, and how they are used in Christianity today. Even though of course everything that Jesus Himself actually taught is entirely love-based. So now they can hear those same truths from TJ Woodward’s work instead!
And TJ’s second book was Conscious Recovery: A Fresh Perspective on Addiction. His third book was Conscious Creation: Five Steps to Embracing the Life of Your Dreams.
TJ Woodward is the creator of The Conscious Recovery Method , which is a ground-breaking and quite effective approach to viewing and treating addictions. And he is the creator and host of the Awakened Living TV and Awakened Living Radio shows. This is his seventh Seek Reality visit. You can find him at tjwoodward.com and wholehearted.org.
