Question: "Do Non-Religious People go to Heaven?"

One of the questions I've received several times is  "Do Non-Religious People go to Heaven?"
   People who have asked were concerned that their loved one who passed away would not find peace on the other side if they didn't subscribe to a religion. 
  I did a search on Google to see what websites say before I put down my understanding (from talking with people on the other side). Almost all responses to the question was "well, you need to read the bible and be a christian." That's fine for the person writing it, but it's a narrow-minded answer and it's not correct. You can worship whomever you choose or not. Religions have always been created by mankind.
 
   MY ANSWER:  If you understand energy, then you know that we all have the ability to "cross over" and join the energies that run through the cosmos. You can call that 'heaven," "paradise," "Valhalla" or whatever you like it makes no difference. 
   The bottom line is that you don't need to believe in a god to cross over. "God" is not an entity. God is a collective consciousness of all living things- basically the energy of every living thing. Religions are created by man, and if you understand the science of energy, that's what people and pets become after the pass. Suicide victims cross, gay, straight, young, old, overweight, anorexic, all races, colors, creeds, etc. can cross over, and need not believe in a religion. It's not about religion. It's about energy.
 
  What about those who don't cross over and remain ghosts? - Well, ghosts choose not to cross over and join the energies of the cosmos/heaven, etc. Ghosts choose to stay Earth bound. WHY?  Often, it's because of their religious beliefs in life that convince them they are "unworthy" of moving on.  Their religious beliefs prevent them from going where they belong.
   In fact, many ghosts will wait in an Earthly-limbo hoping to find forgiveness for their earthly deeds... and if the people whom the bad things were done to, have passed- then they likely won't get that answer because ghosts don't seem to be able to communicate with people in spirit. 
   
QUESTIONS ABOUT GHOSTS OR SPIRITS? - You can check out my book "Lessons Learned From Talking to the Dead"- I've written it to address all the questions you can think of about the afterlife, and I use examples of messages I've received from both Earth-bound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over.  Paperback and E-Book: CLICK TO READ BOOK SUMMARY

In the News: Is Your House Haunted? Or Just Dirty?

Whenever I'm called into investigations for potential hauntings, we have to debunk a lot of things. We have an arhchitect on our team who can explain drafts and house settling noises. There are many other things we look for to disprove or prove the paranormal is at work in a house.
   I've blogged before how a messy house causes bad energy and discord. Last week this article appeared in the Huffington Post along those lines, with a focus on poor air quality (which you can have if you don't change filters often in your heating and cooling systems, or if someone smokes in the house).
  Here's the article---  Rob

Is Your House Haunted? Or Just Dirty?

HuffPost  |  By Buck Wolf

Put away the Ouija board and take out the Pledge.
Ghostbusters at Clarkson University in New York are investigating the link between indoor air quality and ghostly sightings, according to Medical Daily. They say toxic mold can trigger psychosis and that might cause you to see and hear things that go bump in the night.
The more sensitive you are to mold, the more likely you may think you're up against a poltergeist, the website reports.

“Hauntings are very widely reported phenomena that are not well-researched,” says Clarkson engineering professor Shane Rogers, according to the university's website.
"[The ghost sightings] are often reported in older-built structures that may also suffer poor air quality," Rogers says.
"Similarly, some people have reported depression, anxiety and other effects from exposure to biological pollutants in indoor air. We are trying to determine whether some reported hauntings may be linked to specific pollutants found in indoor air."
Rogers describes himself as a "longtime fan of ghost stories," and that he doesn't see himself as a paranormal debunker.
"What I do hope is that we can provide some real clues as to what may lead to some of these phenomena and possibly help people in the process."
Rogers' team of undergraduate students plan to measure air quality in several haunted locations in upstate New York, including the Frederic Remington Art Museum in Ogdensburg, N.Y. The museum is the former home of Madame Vespucci, and, according to Haunted Places, her voice can be heard echoing from the museum's upper level at night.
If they come back alive, they plan to publish the results of their finding.

Experiences shared from retirees about signs from spirits!

On May 28 I gave a Talk about "Signs from Spirits" to a captive audience of retired folks at the Shepherd's Center of Oakton-Vienna,  Unitarian Universalist Church of Fairfaxin Oakton, VA 22124
  This is an organization that was created and is run by volunteers that provides classes, lectures, events and activities for senior citizens of the area. Just an amazing organization. It would be great if every community had one of these groups for seniors!  For more about the group, check out Facebook: www.facebook.com/scov.org 

EXPERIENCES SHARED FROM THE AUDIENCE: 
   Several people in the audience confirmed that certain birds or butterflies mysteriously appeared right after one of their loved ones passed. Some have seen their loved ones appear in spirit to them!  
  Others mentioned they've received telephone calls with "no number showing" when they happened to be thinking of that person that passed. *They learned that when it comes to spirits, there are NO such things as coincidences*
  Music is another way that people in the audience said that they experienced hearing from their loved ones. One woman sitting in the front told me about a special song she and her late husband shared and how whenever she thought he was around, she would suddenly hear that song, indicating that he was indeed there and wanted to let he know that their love lives on forever.

Podcast of my interview with PSH Radio on 6/7

On Saturday, June 6, I was interviewed by Caroline of PSHRadio (of Ireland)!  We talked about ghosts and spirits in general, people and pets, how spirits don't want us to experience extreme, lengthy grief; reincarnation, how spirits use look-alikes to let you know that they're around- that goes for human and pet spirits.

Ducketts Grove, Carlow County, Ireland

    Caroline talked about how the afterlife was depicted in "the Lovely Bones" film/book.    ( *NOTE: there was a short audio glitch after the music)
 We also talked about some experiences I had in Ireland and England and addressed the castle remains of Ducketts Grove, in Carlow County Ireland. We even talked about some actors, and
We talked about 75 minutes. - Rob

Three Ghosts in Annapolis

Last month, I toured the State House in Maryland and the neighborhood surrounding it. I encountered three ghosts, and one of them was totally terrified and shared a lot of intense pain with me about her passing.

TOUR OF THE THREE GHOSTS-   The Maryland State House in Annapolis is the oldest continually operational state house in America, According to Marylandghosttrackers.com, the old Senate chamber where George Washington resigned  his commission is said to be haunted.

William Cabel Bruce

    WHO IS  GHOST #1? - On our tour, we confirmed it. both Tom and I got a strong sensation of a presence on the left side of the door as we walked in. We both felt it was a male ghost who was a Senator in the past (early 1900s). I knew it was a man in the early 1900s, who had grey hair, and I actually saw his profile. His last name began with "B" and I thought it may have sounded like burns, but it is in fact "Bruce." I checked the records on-line, and the man in the photo matches the image I saw. William Cabel Bruce (March 12, 1860 to May 9, 1946) was not only a Senator, but also a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who represented the State of Maryland in the United States Senate from 1923 to 1929.

  Rob started coughing and felt tightness in the chest, like from smoking... got the sensation of emphysema. Ghosts will share pain of death like that. 

   The ghost is there because he was passionate about politics and writing down his experiences about them. He wants to continue to inspire people who visit the Senate to do the right thing, and record everything. For more info about him CLICK HERE.

Ghost #3, standing outside

    WHO IS GHOST #2? - When we walked down Maryland Avenue, there's a building that used to be an apartment and on the first floor housed an Audobon store (which is no longer there). In that first floor the ghost of a man that we sensed there before, still remains. He is short and stocky, wearing a raincoat and hat, circa 1930s.  We encountered him when we were doing an investigation with the Inspired Ghost Tracking group. 
   WHO IS GHOST #3? - At an old building that looks like it was a stable, there was a female ghost standing outside to the right of the door. She was murdered there. There was a sensation of terror and then severe pain in my head, as if she were hit over and over in the head. It was so intense that I had to walk away. I'm unsure who she was, but she was accosted by a man working the docks (likely late 1700s).  I'll have to research what that location was used for in the 1790s/1800s to figure out more.

Harley's close up!

On Saturday, May 30th, I had a table at the MId-Atlantic Doxiefest in Belair, Maryland - It was an outdoor event and fundraiser for Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue. I met a lot of great people and dogs, and dogs looking for forever homes, too. Here are some pictures from the event.

ADOPTABLE DOGS - There were a lot of adoptable dogs walking around, and Jane was helping out one of the rescues. She brought 4 dogs to meet me, and I really grew fond of Harley a 13 year old black and tan dachshund. If you can open your home to a Senior dog, they're housetrained, and usually very low maintenance. Help give a dog in his golden years a great end to his time on Earth with a lot of love.

In this webinar, we will learn

CLASS#2    PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

 Sun., June 14, 2015

12:30 - 4:30pm

Chantilly, VA

FOUR Seats Left!

This workshop is fun, empowering, and enlightening! Every one of us is psychic (yes, you too!) and has psychic abilities to some extent. They are our God-given abilities - we just need to refine and control these abilities to help guide us (and possibly others) through our busy lives.

Use your abilities to help create strong business relationships and personal relationships, OR use them to help others with guidance and information through intuitive readings.

When we listen to our psychic abilities, things tend to fall right into place. This is because we don't fight with our intuition/Higher Self/Guides - we let them guide us. When we have that "knowing" or "feeling" that we shouldn't do this or that, but then go out of our way to make it work for us anyway, we tend to find ourselves on that circle of being stuck rather than on a spiral of growth.
The workshop is intentionally kept small and intimate to ensure plenty of personal coaching by Barb.

Do these questions sound familiar?

• Why does this always happen to me?
• Why do I always find myself in this mess?
• Why do I always choose the wrong person?
• Why can't I figure out what I want to do with my life?
• How can I find out the names of my spirit guides?
• How can I receive better guidance from them?
