A Note I Enjoyed Getting after my "Pets and the Afterlife" talk

On Friday, August 1st, I gave a talk about my newest book "Pets and the Afterlife" to teach people how to recognize the signs from their pets who have passed. Here's a review I received:

Donna Terwilliger posted a greeting on Meetup !

“Rob, Thanks for sharing your experiences about pets and the afterlife. Your compassion and sensitivity spoke volumes. We have lost a number of our feline babes and know too well the heartache each passing brings. However, I know they continue to be w/us in spirit. Donna”

 PETS AND THE AFTERLIFE by Rob Gutro: The loss of a pet is like the loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies, and in a new book called "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro, the author provides proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side.    Available in paperback and E-book, on Amazon.com and other outlets at: To order paperback of Kindle- click here

Pensacola Paracon Trip: My Mom and Dad's "Spirit Assistance" #1

It's nothing new that my mom and dad's spirits are around me, and they help me out from time to time. This past weekend when I flew to the Pensacola Paracon, I got their help again.

THE FIRST SIGNS - A DISCUSSION! 
  The first word I received from my mom and dad's spirits was on the Super Shuttle ride to the airport at 4:15 a.m. on Friday, August 8. I was so overtired (slept for 4 hours) that I was in a foggy state and heard my mom start talking with me. This is not uncommon when you're in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness. That's when they can get through to you!

Finally arrived! 

WHAT THEY SAID -  She talked about a lot of things. She mentioned my older brother's birthday, and said she made me turn on Pandora radio.com on Thursday when "For the Good Times" by Eddy Arnold played - because she used to love singing that song. My dad finally stepped forward and cut her off, just as he had to do in life to get her to stop talking sometimes! He mentioned they'd be with me in Florida, and brought forth my grandmother "Nana" and said she's never seen anything like the conference. I know now that she came forward because she always bought me comic books when I was a kid!  Nice to "see" them all.
INSPIRATION THAT HELPED -    Spirits can inspire us to do things that will ultimately help us, or teach us lessons we need to know. This time it was the former. After my 2 flights, I reached Pensacola. I took the stairs down to the baggage claim and felt I had to look to the right at the bottom of the stairs. On the wall in a tiny area was a rack holding maps of the airport and a book-like brochure of Pensacola. I was pushed to walk over, and I took the brochure that contained maps.I noticed it had broken down the city into regions, and contained hotel listings that were mapped out, too. But, I didn't need a hotel. Or I thought I didn't!

Great Paranormal Fictional Mystery: Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher

  I just finished my second novel in the "Dresden Files" series about a paranormal detective in
Chicago, and like the first one, it was great!
   The STORY:   The White Council of Wizards has drafted wizard Harry Dresden as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumors of black magic in Chicago. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in the Windy City at a horror convention called "Splattercon!!!" but it's all in a day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob.
  This paranormal detective has to figure out where these blood thirsty entities are killing conference attendees. He also has to figure out how his best friend's daughter fits into the paranormal outbreak... and it leads him into trouble in a Faerie kingdom full of dark entities and evil. This is the 8th book in the series (there are now 15 of them!) and it was such a great read, I finished it in less than 2 weeks. Highly Recommended! 

My Scientific Take on Afterlife Consciousness and Energy

Whether you believe in a "god" or not isn't really relevant to the afterlife. What is important is that you realize that your "soul" transitions.

On a similar note, I recently received the following question:

What I can't resolve is that if a person ceases to exist upon death, there's no more consciousness, etc. then how does Rob and other mediums get their messages?

My response:  Energy is a constant. It changes, doesn't go away. So everyone's consciousness was formed from energies combining and the energies will continue. The soul (memories and personality) of the person then transforms with every reincarnation.  That's my take from a science standpoint.

So, what would those who believe in a god understand to be god?

Answer:  The collective consciousness or energies of every living thing (person, animal, etc.)  are what forms what some people call god. I simply think of it as energy.

So how do mediums get messages from those consciousnesses in the afterlife?

Answer: Being a medium is like being a living lightning rod for the energy of those "souls" - that's how I read what they're thinking/saying.

Inspiration and Spirits at my Inspired Ghost Tracking Talk on 8/1/14

Dog spirit was present

Thanks to Inspired Ghost Tracking of Maryland  for letting me talk about the Pets and the Afterlife book. As people who attended could tell, it was a very emotional and special book for me. It was difficult to maintain composure when talking about how I've lost 2 canine kids, although they've both come back with many messages.
  There were several times I had to stop and compose myself, and several folks who attended told me they were also brought to tears, but they were happy tears, knowing their pets could communicate with them from beyond. 
   I hope that everyone learned some things, and walked away with understanding, hope, and comfort.

Spirit cat resembled this one 

   SPIRIT ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ABOUND: There was a spirit of a grey, long-haired cat walking around the right side of the room, and I mentioned it during my presentation. Afterward, a married couple came up to me and told me they recently lost a long-haired, gray cat- so their cat wanted to let them know that she's still around them! 

My newest book

   ANOTHER CAT SPIRIT! - Another attendee actually brought her service dog, a Labrador Retriever. I sensed the spirit of a white cat with beige patches on it near the men's room door. The woman's lab kept going over the door and afterward, she told me that her dog was bonded to a cat that matched that description, but she had to give the cat up for adoption. It could be that the cat has passed and made an appearance to let her and her dog know she's still around...
  There was also the spirit of a dog, that looked like a white dog with black spots- like a beagle or pointer, walking around the back left part of the room. There was a grandmother of one of the attendees standing there in spirit as well, and the spirit of a young girl who died in a car accident. The room was crowded with the living and the dead and with humans, cats and dogs!
