Messages from the Afterlife
$20.95 CAD |
A journal of grief, despair, and ultimately, hope, this book tells the story of every parent's nightmare—the sudden death of a child—and a father's search for meaning in a seemingly random world of psychics and skeptics. Expanding on territory covered in his 2009 memoir of his son’s death Soul Shift, Messages from the Afterlife is both an account of Ireland’s journey from indifference to belief and an overview of the resources available to the bereaved to help them receive messages from the afterlife.
Mark Ireland, son of celebrated “psychic to the stars” Richard Ireland, was a marketing exec with little interest in his father’s colorful history. While his father held readings for Mae West and traveled the U.S. demonstrating his parapsychological powers, Mark Ireland took a more conventional route through life. But when his own teenage son Brandon suddenly dies while hiking in the mountains with friends, Ireland is forced to confront his resistance to all things spiritual and begins to explore the possibility that communication with the dead is real.
In his search for conclusive evidence of life after death, he plunges into his father’s world and meets an array of respected psychic-mediums who deliver unexpected messages not only from his son in the afterlife but also from many other souls seeking to communicate with the living. Fighting to retain a sense of critical thinking, Ireland also contacts scientists conducting research into the survival of consciousness after death. The book features detailed accounts of tests and experiments that various people have conducted to obtain proof of consciousness survival, including Ireland's own.
I’ve seen afterlife evidence, including psychic and medium phenomena, play a role in easing the anguish tied to loss—advancing and accelerating the healing process. To provide illustration for those unfamiliar with this practice, in these pages I share examples of my interaction with credible spiritual mediums. I also provide information to help readers learn more about this field, which is little understood by most people.
