In September of 2000, Bob Dean, a recently retired pilot, decides to investigate the afterlife phenomenon with an open mind. His research takes several directions. A complete skeptic, Bob sets out to debunk so-called psychic mediums and other phenomena. However to his great surprise there comes actual contacts with the spirit world...incidences that include anomolies which involve friends and relatives that could then be absolutely verified. His accounts are described in this journal in detail and covers over three years of research. Consulting with the likes of Professor Gary Swartz, Victor Zammit, the Amazing Randi, John Edward, Sylvia Browne, Suzane Northrop, and George Anderson, Bob comes to the conclusion that there IS an afterlife and there IS a very real spirit dimension. Along with psychic medium Kathleen Tucci, Bob and her consult with Larry Hastings, a man who was clinically dead for over 20 minutes and who came back after he was told it was not his time to cross over. Larry speaks of his NDE (Near Death Experience) and it all connects with the journey Bob Dean has been traveling. Kathleen Tucci, a gifted psychic medium, also helps on widening this path. She explains in simple terms how to meditate, how the other side connects to any religion, what are life lessons are, etc. It is a sharing narrative of a great personal journey of their enlightenment and education in understanding the spiritual world.
