I don’t usually tell people this, but I had what is known as a “shared death experience” when my life-partner Kate died. I know it’s hard to believe, but that night, spirits made themselves known to me. I felt euphoric. The bliss lasted for months. I can still tap into it now. And this may sound crazy, but I communicate with Kate and my mom and friends who have died and other non-physical beings. Regularly. Yes, they communicate back. All of these words are true for me. And they are all variations of some of the most common sentiments I’ve heard again and again – both spoken and implied – in discussions I facilitated this past year and in one-on-one conversations. I don’t usually tell people this, but . . . I know it’s hard to believe, but . . . This may sound crazy, but . . . That we give disclaimers or hesitate to share real experiences because of what others may think is a fascinating human idiosyncrasy. But what’s even more fascinating to me is what often happens next.
This May Sound Crazy (But I’ll Tell You Anyway)
