Todd is joined on the show this week by friend Gabriel Stewart, who talks about the sleep paralysis and astral travel, which is a term used in esotericism to describe a willful out-of-body experience (OBE), a supposed form of telepathy, that assumes the existence of a soul.

Todd is joined on the show by authors Dennis, Matt and Sheila Linn. Near-death experiences (NDEs) are common, well-documented, and similar across cultures throughout the world. Current estimates are that between 4 and 15 percent of the world's population have had an NDE. Some of the fascination with NDEs comes from the fact that they often result in great leaps in personal growth. These leaps are characterized by the loss of the fear of death, the healing of deep hurts, an increase in self-esteem and compassion for others, a sense of union with all things, and a clearer sense of how to fulfill one's purpose in life.

Todd is joined this week by Roberta Grimes, author of the bok "The Fun of Staying Touch".

Communicating with the dead is easier now than it ever was, and in fact your beloved may be trying to communicate with you right now. In the 21st century, you have many ways to connecting with the dead, including some that are new and evolving. The Fun of Staying in Touch is an exciting account of the wonderful and sometimes amazing ways in which the dead now let us know that they are happy and waiting for us in a glorious reality where love never ends.

This book is meant to be an overview for those with little knowledge in this field. Rather than footnotes, it includes a brief study guide and also a comprehensive list of resources that you might use to duplicate my research. And if you are curious about the place from which the dead are communicating with us, you might read The Fun of Dying - Find Out What Really Happens Next for a similar overview of the death process and the glorious realities that we enter at death.
