than an alien. We’d just feel more comfortable. Over there, everyone is “like us.”
Do the dead still retain their five senses?
No. Our five senses are “of the body,” and of course the dead are “of the spirit.” They can’t smell or taste anything, but they don’t eat anything anymore so it’s really not like a loss; it’s no big deal. They can’t feel anything themselves, but they can touch us. It’s not a physical touch, like with a finger. It’s energy, so it feels like a small electric shock—not strong enough to hurt anyone, but enough to startle you.
How do the dead get around?
It’s pretty much instantaneous in terms of travel time. It’s as quick as thought. In fact, it is thought. They simply change their thoughts to another place or person, and there they are—right where they want to be. The psychic autobahn!
Are the dead always with us—even on vacation?
Absolutely—just like the air is always with us. If you are taking a bus, they are going. If you’re flying, they’re going—first class without paying extra for their ticket.
At one of my big shows there was a woman who was looking for her father. He came through right away and I asked her, “Are you going on vacation?” And she didn’t really know what I was talking about and then I said, “Are you going to Hawaii? Because your father says he’s really excited about going with you to Hawaii.” What really happened was he was showing me an image of a lei and that symbolized Hawaii to me, so I said, “Are you going to Hawaii?” In a way when I do readings I’m always putting the pieces of a puzzle together so they will make sense for the person I’m talking with. But it’s an art not a science—like if I see palm trees and a beach, I think of Florida. But it might be the Bahamas—I don’t really know. Or if I hear a snippet of the song “Blue Hawaii,” maybe it has something to do with the person going to Hawaii. But it also could be that they just like Elvis! So when I asked this woman if she was going to Hawaii, she said that her son lived in Hawaii and they went there fairly often, and yes, she was going to Hawaii soon, but it wasn’t really a vacation, which is why she didn’t know what I was talking about at first. That was just my assumption, in trying to piece the puzzle together. My point is, whether for a vacation or just a regular visit, her father was going, just the same!
Meanwhile, as I told her that her father was excited about going on the trip I saw the pained and shocked look on her husband’s face—it was like “Oh, great! Your dad is coming with us?” He was probably thinking, “Does that mean your dad can watch what we’re up to behind closed doors? Real romantic.” But since I’ve already answered that question, what he might also have been thinking was, “Why can’t he go visit your sister in Baltimore and give us a little alone time?” The thing is that—if she had a sister in Baltimore—her father wouldn’t have to choose between them, he could be with both. God is in all places at all times. When we are here, we’re part of God, but when we go back, we are one with God. We’re energy. Hawaii, Baltimore, New Jersey, or the North Pole—we’re everywhere at once.
Can the dead travel back in time?
I have met souls who are from the 1800s, for example, but it’s not that they are traveling back in time. That’s just the last time they were here. If you are in the Light of God, if paradise to you is being in a Roman city, you have the ability there to be in Rome and do as the Romans do. You can go to another century if that is what you prefer.
Can they travel to the future?
I know that they know things that will happen in the future, that have to do with our destiny, and also they have told me some things about how our technology will develop. But can they actually go to the future? They don’t travel ahead; they have information that is all-knowing
