It’s the easy option, isn’t it? As a sceptic you have nothing to explain or justify; if you see, feel or hear something unexplained, you can tell yourself you have an over-active imagination. Each experience becomes an isolated memory that you can conveniently file away in the attic of your mind. Keeping each very separate is the key, your subconscious tells you not to make connections and not to question. Until one day something happens and you begin to see that it is like a jig-saw puzzle and the pieces begin to fall into place. The truth is life-changing.
For me the first trigger was when someone else began to share my experiences. Someone I trusted implicitly, and who was an even bigger sceptic than I was at that time. But we didn’t talk about it until it had been happening for quite a while, because a part of you understands that when two people have seen the same thing, there is no going back. Even if you have no idea exactly where this shared knowledge will take you, once you’ve crossed the line and had the conversation it becomes real.
‘Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy’ is the true story of the personal journey that has led me to the point where I can say ‘I believe in life after death’ because of what I have experienced. It began with experiences in some of the houses I have lived in, some with over 200 years of history and others where I was just a visitor; then the loss of beloved family members triggered new and unexpected experiences. The grieving process was so hard to bear, but gradually I came to learn that they are still close and their guidance would end up taking me in a whole new direction. It would also make me take a fresh look at what I had so conveniently ‘filed away’ as unexplained, or imagined and the jig-saw began to take shape.
‘Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy’ will be released on Kindle shortly. If you’ve lost a loved one but have a sense that they are still around you, or had an experience you can’t explain, then take a walk with me on my journey.
