I tell people who attend my “Communicating with the Other Side” seminars that there are many reasons one would want to awaken their God given ability to communicate with the other side, and there’s one reason I never fail to mention … communing with departed family members. I’ll bet there are many of you who’d like to know that your departed loved ones are OK. I hear many people talk about closure … I ask you this, what better closure could you have than personally knowing that your loved one is just fine on the other side?

My wife’s father recently passed, and while meditating a day later he came to me and said he was OK. But he didn’t come alone. A Beagle named Butch and a small dog with shaggy black and white hair also appeared. I understood seeing the Beagle. My wife, Butch and I lived with her parents for several months after I finished serving my four years in the military. Butch passed while we were living with them, and he had never appeared to me before this day.

I took Butch’s appearance as confirmation that he was with Pa, but I had no idea why the little shaggy haired dog had appeared. My wife did though. When I told her how Pa, Butch and this little dog with shaggy black and white hair had appeared to me, she immediately recognized it. She told me that it had been her mother and father’s pet when she was a little girl.

I would have to assume that the little shaggy haired dog is with Pa also, and I’m certain its appearance had been meant to confirm to family members that I had actually talked with Pa, and that he was OK.

I mentioned awakening our God given ability to communicate with the other side in the beginning of this article. Most of the human race lost this ability over thousands and thousands of years, simply because we felt we didn’t need to do it, and as the old saying goes, what you don’t use, you lose. Back when we were able to communicate with the other side our penal gland, which is located in the brain just above and between the eyes, was the size of a golf ball, but today it is the size of a dried pea. The penal gland, also referred to as the third eye, is what makes it possible for a person to communicate with the other side.

If you really want to, there is something that you can do to awaken it and increase its size … prayer and meditation, and the effort has its absolute rewards. Some people will make progress more rapidly than others. It all depends upon how strong you believe. If you think you can do it, you will. I believe it was Napoleon Hill that said, “Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve.”

You’ll not only be able to communicate with departed family members, a whole panorama of other information will open up to you. Some of it you will understand immediately, some over time, and perhaps some information will remain a mystery indefinitely, but you can be sure that there will come a time when every bit of it will become clear.

If you choose to awaken your God given ability to communicate with the other side, may He bless you and guide you in your quest.
