This week I'm talking to Tammy Julien about her book 'Protocol For A New Earth: Teachings From The Tree'Protocol for a New Earth: Teachings from the Tree Gaia’s Urgent Upgrade for the New 26,000-Year Cycle“The old age has ended. The 26,000-year cycle is complete. New Earth energies are here — and Gaia is asking us to upgrade our practices.”Old meditations were designed for a past age — a denser, slower Earth. They served their time. Now, Gaia speaks — not as a distant force, but as your teacher, guide, and co-creator — calling for new exercises, new frequencies, new ways of being.In this sacred transmission, Gaia reveals the greater plan for our conscious evolution as energy beings. Through the Tree of Life, she delivers a universal model of creation — the same blueprint that powers stars, forests, and your soul’s journey.This is Gaia’s Protocol — a living upgrade to:End karma and close third-dimensional chaptersRestore your true design as light in formHarmonize with New Earth frequenciesLive in oneness with a trillion speciesUnderstand that we live as one organism called "Life".With Tree of Life Teachings and powerful New Earth activations (including the 5/5/5 Breath of Life), you will:Remember why you are hereUnderstand your body, emotions, and soul’s purposeUpgrade your meditation to match the new planetary pulseBecome a co-creator in Gaia’s final phase of the PlanBioTammy Julien experienced a profound near-death experience during a home birth that went critically wrong, an experience she kept largely private for almost 40 years.After suffering a severe haemorrhage, Tammy found herself outside her body, observing the emergency unfolding below while experiencing an overwhelming sense of peace, love and connection. Her NDE centred on compassion and a powerful awareness of love extending beyond the individual. As she later described it, “The love was going into the Earth.”Following her return, Tammy spent decades quietly trying to understand and integrate what she had experienced, at a time when few people around her could relate to what she had witnessed. Over the years, the experience became an important part of her spiritual life, influencing her writing, her practice of deep presence and her work guiding others towards greater awareness and connection.Tammy also speaks of an inner guidance that she believes has been present throughout her life, including experiences dating back to childhood. Her near-death experience strengthened that sense of connection and shaped the way she approaches life today.At the heart of Tammy’s experience is a simple message: that we are never truly alone, that unseen support may be closer than we realise, and that something as simple as the breath can help bring us back to a sense of presence, connection and love.https://heartofcompassion.ca/https://www.amazon.com/Protocol-New-Earth-Teachings-Tree-ebook/dp/B06WD49N15 https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode explores some of the most striking cases in The Phenomena of Astral Projection by Sylvan Muldoon and Hereward Carrington, first published in 1951. The book gathers reports of people who claimed to remain conscious outside the physical body during serious illness, accidents and the approach of death. Although Muldoon and Carrington described these experiences as astral projection, many of the details sound remarkably similar to what would later become known as near-death experiences.The episode looks at the case presented by Sir Auckland Geddes, involving a seriously ill doctor who believed he separated from his body and watched events taking place around him while medical treatment was being carried out. It also examines the experiences of M. J. Johnson, who described observing his family from outside his body and, during a later episode, moving through a dark environment towards his deceased wife.Other cases include Alexander Dribbell, who believed he was conscious outside his body during a period of illness, and an account recorded by Emil Mattiesen involving a childhood medical crisis and a viewpoint from near the ceiling. These older reports contain themes still found in modern NDE accounts, including clear awareness during physical collapse, separation from the body, movement through darkness, encounters with deceased relatives and an abrupt return.The episode also turns to reports surrounding death itself. Joy Snell claimed to have witnessed unusual forms around dying patients and described a man who said he could see his deceased son shortly before death. Dorothy Monk reported that several family members saw a strange cloud and lights around their dying mother. The extraordinary Hoffmann case tells of a five-year-old boy in 1885 who was believed dead, buried, and later revived after his mother repeatedly dreamed that he was still alive.These accounts do not perfectly match the modern near-death experience, but the similarities raise an interesting question: were people describing the same basic phenomenon long before the term NDE existed? https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My guest this week is Stephen Hawley Martin. We have a great discussion about his new book 'Edgar Cayce, The Meaning of Life and What to Do About It'.If you believe it’s likely or even simply possible we humans are spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience, this book is a must-read. Author and metaphysician Stephen Hawley Martin interviewed three authorities steeped in the information contained in the more than 14,000 psychic readings given by Edgar Cayce [1877-1944] and received answers to the big questions we humans have been wondering about since we first walked upright on the African savanna. Martin shares the interviews and the answers in this volume along with a book he wrote recently that you can use to help you find and pursue your purpose.Known worldwide during his lifetime as “The Sleeping Prophet,” Edgar Cayce twice-daily put himself into a hypnotic trance and was able to answer any question put to him. As the very extensive record shows, the accuracy of information revealed by Cayce that could be checked and verified was absolutely extraordinary.https://www.amazon.com/Edgar-Cayce-Meaning-Life-About-ebook/dp/B07L7GF3HH https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Lorri Brewer about her book 'Heaven Time: Discovering a New Way of Life After a Near-Death Experience'On September 19, 2010, author Lorri Brewer, was faced with the greatest challenge of her life. Her cardiac condition worsened and she was rushed to the hospital where she lost her life for just almost two minutes. She crossed over from this living plane to another energetic dimension suffering a near-death experience (NDE). Today this verifiable near-death survivor shares her intimate experience with death, the after-effects she continues to suffer from, and her inspirational insights on our world today. "My intentions in writing this book are to tantalize the mind, stimulate the heart's emotion, strengthen the foundations of faith, and inspire personal hope," said Brewer. "I am not attempting to convince anyone of the existence of an afterlife, prove that near-death experiences are real, or change any religious beliefs. Heaven Time is based solely on my personal beliefs since recovering from a NDE and enjoying another energetic dimension on this physical plane."BioLORRI BREWER is a daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. She is also a successful business woman esteemed and appreciated by both her peers and clients for her strong moral compass and work ethic, integrity, and professionalism. On September 19, 2010, Lorri crossed over from this life to the afterlife and then returned with incredible knowledge and insight, which she now courageously shares with all of us in her book Heaven Time. Before being published, her amazing story and inspired reflections caught the attention of the CBC radio talk show The Current, with host Anna Maria Tremonti, the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), and the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF). These days, with her experience as a Competent Toastmaster, Lorri has created a series of motivational lectures and workshops in which she shares her life-altering experience and encourages others to discover for themselves the meaning of life and death. She is also working on her second book. When she’s not working or writing, Lorri enjoys sharing a simple, quiet life with her husband Larry, her son A.J., and a treasured circle of friends and family in beautiful Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.https://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Time-Lorri-Brewer-ebook/dp/B009G1WHRShttps://www.lorribrewer.com/ https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from David Allen's book 'Life According to the Soul: Awakening the Hidden Connections Between Your Life and Your Soul’s Eternal Truth'Where ancient soul whispers meet the rhythm of modern life.Awakening the hidden connections where ancient soul whispers meet the rhythm of modern life. Drawing on authentic and previously unpublished transcripts from Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy sessions, Life According to the Soul bridges profound spiritual insights with the realities and challenges of modern life. Step by step, it guides readers to connect their life experiences with an understanding of how they are intimately connected with an eternal spiritual existence.BioMy working life began as an Apprentice Gas Fitter, through technical and managerial rolls to IT consultant, business owner, therapist, and political author, now largely retired, I’ve brought this work to the fore after about 13 years, because it is simply the right time. I had been conducting LBL (Life Between Lives) sessions for about 7 years from 2005, the year I undertook the training with the eminent Michael Newton as the lead trainer, until 2012, when I stopped work to concentrate upon a quite different role as my wife’s (Sandra) carer after her breast cancer diagnosis at the end of 2008. A few years have passed since then and the publication of this quite new perspective on the many spiritual revelations uncovered during these sessions took some time before forming into a realistic prospect for a book. That which I have discovered has been repeated by hundreds of other like-minded and like skilled facilitators.The delay in writing the book was due, in the main, to a need to add a breadth of meaning and understanding not really explored that well in other similar texts. Rather than simply repeat the work that Michael Newton had pioneered, I wanted to connect these spiritual understandings to modern day living. Once I felt I had a sense of what I wanted to achieve with the book I began the onerous task of transcribing a seemingly endless supply of audio files, noting areas of special interest. The rather recent advent of AI, that could accurately turn an audio file into a textual document sped up the last of these quite dramatically. It still took about 18 months to two years to formulate the structure of the book in a way that would achieve these objectives best. Once that was decided in the back of my head, I began to write.There have been three stages in my life where I have “grown” as a person and in my understanding about myself, my world and my spirituality. I came from a very practical background, was very focused on work and my family which I don’t think is too bad a place to start. I would have begun this with the short period as a musician where I went from playing in a group part time to going professional. Having been dabbling and playing since school I took the plunge and in 1969, gave up the full-time job (which actually paid), got married, and spent the next 9 months travelling all over the country for peanuts. All I learnt from that experience was that I wasn’t cut out for that kind of life. That’s not really personal growth so much as abject realism.My first period of enlightenment was a two-year course in management (DMS, Diploma in Management Studies) taken when I was about 26. The course required engagement with people from very different backgrounds, all very able, and immersion in that environment opened my eyes quite a bit. A section of the course covered Psychology which added significantly to how I viewed the world and people. Secondly was the quite unusual involvement (because I was 30 years old) with Kyokushnkai Karate. I took my two young sons along initially and, of course, tried it myself.They soon became bored, but for some bizarre reason I stuck at it, despite the fact that I had never been so physically and mentally stretched ever before. 20 years later, as a 4th Dan, I retired. Joints began to hurt more than before, and it was taking up too much of my time. However, I learnt a lot about myself as a person. The most significant period for me came after selling my small company and re-training as a hypnotherapist in 2003, aged 56. After an initial period, I began doing Past Life Regression and then after having read of the groundbreaking LBL work decided that I just had to train in that discipline as well. The whole period, including reaching trainer level in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), opened my eyes to different worlds, metaphorically and reality. Throughout my life I’ve done things that could be described as impulsive, or unfounded, but I truly believe now that some of those momentous decisions, including writing this book, weren’t really my ideas at all. Sometimes if you just listen, you’ll know what to do.<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Life-According-Soul-Awakening-Connections-ebook/dp/B0GYSRJ5YL" rel="noopener norefe
In this episode I'm talking to Jim Matlock about his book 'Signs of Reincarnation: Exploring Beliefs, Cases, and Theory'Signs of Reincarnation provides the first comprehensive look at the belief in reincarnation and the evidence for past lives from historical records, anthropological studies, and contemporary research. Matlock discusses various ways the evidence may be interpreted and shows that although reincarnation entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. This book offers students, scholars, and anyone interested in the possibility of reincarnation an essential grounding in beliefs, cases, and theory, while opening doors for future research into the extension of consciousness beyond our present lives.BioMatlock is an anthropologist and has been studying reincarnation since the early 1980s. Currently a Research Fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation and Associate Editor of the Journal of Scientific Exploration, he has worked at the American Society for Psychical Research and the Rhine Research Center, including as Acting Director. He has served as Treasurer for the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness, a unit of the American Anthropological Association.Matlock has published numerous papers and book chapters on reincarnation and related topics, co-authored a book on children’s past lives in 2016 and wrote a solo book providing an overview of reincarnation research in 2019. He writes and edits for the Psi Encyclopedia, having produced more than 31 articles on reincarnation. His dedication to making reincarnation research more widely known is evidenced by his teaching of a post-graduate-level interdisciplinary course on the subject, and his ownership and maintenance of the 62,000-plus-member Facebook page Signs of Reincarnation: Research & Experiences.https://www.amazon.com/Signs-Reincarnation-Exploring-Beliefs-Theory-ebook/dp/B07S1CG1HB https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Tracy Palm's book 'Heaven Said to Tell You'"What if Heaven had a message... not just for one person, but for all of us?Heaven Said to Tell You is not simply the story of one woman's extraordinary spiritual encounter. It is the message she was entrusted to bring back.During a gathering of faith leaders, Tracy Palm experienced a profound out-of-body journey into the spiritual realm. There she encountered overwhelming darkness, breathtaking love, restored understanding, and a powerful heavenly Presence that revealed timeless revelations about God, humanity, and our purpose. The message was both deeply personal and profoundly universal. She was shown that we were created for relationship with the One God who is the source of all life, and that His love is meant to restore what has been divided-between God and humanity, between each other, and even within ourselves.Rather than offering another story about surviving hardship, Heaven Said to Tell You invites readers to explore questions that touch every life:Why are we here?Who are we?Why is there suffering?What separates us from God-and from one another?Can broken relationships truly be restored?Is love more than an emotion... could it be the very foundation of creation?Through biblical insight, spiritual revelation, and practical wisdom, Tracy shares the teachings she believes Heaven intended for all of us to discover, not to promote a religion, but to point people toward the God whose love reaches beyond every barrier and whose desire is reconciliation, unity, healing, and hope.Whether you have walked with God for years, are searching for answers, or have wondered if there is more to life than what we see, this book offers an invitation to discover hidden parts of yourself and the One who has never stopped pursuing you.Heaven said to tell you... you were created for love, for purpose, and for relationship with God and one another."BioTracy Palm is the author of Heaven Said to Tell You, a deeply personal account of extraordinary experiences that transformed her understanding of God, His unconditional love, and the connection we share with one another.For more than fifteen years, Tracy has quietly shared the teachings and truths revealed through those experiences with individuals, families, and small groups. Over the years, her commitment to serving others took many forms. She became an ordained minister, established a nondenominational church, and founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to help meet the spiritual and physical needs of others beyond the church walls. Along the way, those truths have shaped not only what she believes, but how she sees and loves others—with greater compassion, understanding, and a desire for reconciliation.Through Heaven Said to Tell You, Tracy now shares those teachings with a wider audience. Grounded in biblical truth, her message invites people from every background to discover God's unconditional love, look beyond the things that divide us, and pursue reconciliation with God, ourselves, and one another.https://www.heavensaid.org/https://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Said-Tell-Tracy-Palm-ebook/dp/B0H9VBGBD9 https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
