What is the purpose for the book?
When my brother passed away in 2018 I realized that the spiritual experiences I had been having for the last 48 years of my life may not have been made up in my mind. I found over the next few years that they were in fact real-life experiences with spirits from the other side!
For more than a year, I considered this spiritual gift a curse. I found myself living a new reality with noise from the spirits who wanted to be heard following me around. A room with 20 people suddenly became a room with many more spirits than living people.
When I was finally able to manage it somewhat, I began calling this gift an ability. Yet, there were still many questions I needed to have answered and I felt so alone. I came to realize that not everyone had some of the abilities I had, so they could not understand my struggle. I had to be very careful about who I spoke to about what I was experiencing.
In my research, I quickly found it difficult to find books that have specific spiritual experiences that do not have to do with the individual first dying or almost dying. I also found it very difficult to find information specifically in regards to what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believes about these experiences and this specific spiritual gift.
This book will be a collection of experiences from myself and others who have had experiences with spirits on the other side of the veil in everyday situations. It also includes my journey in discovering the answers to the following questions:
- How do I know if the experiences I am having are real or if I am making them up?
- How to manage the spirits who now were speaking to me on a regular basis?
- What does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe about these experiences or this spiritual gift?
- What exactly is a medium and psychic and was I one?
- What does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe about mediums and psychics?
- What is my responsibility in regards to the spirits that were begging me to tell their friends or family messages?
- When and how do I share these experiences with family, friends, or even strangers?
- Which experiences are not to be shared and held sacred?
- How do I deal with individuals who do not believe what I am sharing?
I hope this book will answer these questions and more for others who may be struggling, like I was, with this newly found spiritual gift.
It is my intention to provide a multitude of experiences from individuals with many different backgrounds, to inspire and help those of us who are dealing with this spiritual gift on a regular basis. It can be overwhelming at times and other times it is a true blessing! There is no need to feel alone in these experiences anymore.
Brigham Young, second President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, taught that “When a man publishes or preaches his peculiar views he should not say they are the view of the Church.” – Matthias F. Cowley, Wilford Woodruff-History of His Life and Labors (Salt Lake City, Utah: Bookcraft, 1964), p. 449.
This book presents my own experiences, experiences from other individuals, and our journey and discoveries based on the evidence available at this time. I am writing this as an individual, not as a spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The information that will be expressed in this book will not be official statements of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints doctrine.
There will be experiences contributed to this book that are not my own and I rely on the contributors to provide truthful and real experiences only they can verify. I will prayerfully consider each contribution to determine if the experience will benefit the readers and add to my purpose for book.
Who is the intended audience for the book?
The intended audience for this book are individuals who are seeking more information and stories about experiences with spirits from the other side of the veil. There are many stories and experiences about how individuals have died or nearly died and had experiences with the other side of the veil. However, this book is about experiences that happen in regular everyday life that are not related in any way to the individual passing to the other side.
What type of contributions are you looking for?
All contributions are welcome, yet all contributions will not be published. Be sure to read the Book Contributions Agreement below.
I am seeking experiences with spirits from the other side that are not related to a death or near-death experience. They can be from individuals with any religious background and can be of any nature, light or dark.
The more detailed the experience the better. It is difficult to express some of what we experience, but I want to share as much detail as possible, especially for those who have never had experiences like this before.
Will this be a religious book?
This will be a non-fiction book that will include my own personal experiences and discoveries as well as personal experiences from other contributors.
How & when will the book be published?
This book will be self-published in both print and digital format. It is my goal to have it published before the end of 2021. Contributors will be informed of the progress.
If I contribute is my experiernce guaranteed to be included in the book and will it automatically be under copyright or have a licensing restrictions?
Not all contributions will be included in the book. Publisher/Editor reserves the right to decline any contribution at their discretion for any reason. Contributors will be notified if their experience is not selected for the publication of the book. Contributions not selected to be published in the book will be under no copyright or license restrictions with Publisher/Editor. See the Book Contributor Agreement for additional legal details.
