Analysis of “We
Never Die: Secrets Of The Afterlife” (2022) by Matt Fraser
Rating: Five of five
Matt
Fraser’s “We Never Die” is, in my opinion, the most positive authentic
spirituality book in the modern age. Although it uses a few Christian
terminologies (Angels, God, Heaven) to evoke a familiar understanding of the
hereafter, it does not focus on religion nor certain morals nor proposes that
certain souls are “inferior” in their evolution or background. The afterlife is
envisioned as the perfect utopian world that societies have strived to reach
for thousands of years. This book ascribes positive messages to all people on
Earth, regardless of their status. Matt says that everyone goes to the same
place, even those who are nonbelievers. (The book even says: “This book is
dedicated to those grieving the loss of a loved one.” As we know, everyone on
Earth has lost a loved one, this includes great-grandparents.) Death connects all
of us, therefore this book is dedicated to humanity. The book provides entertaining
stories from Matt and simple spiritual concepts that are easy to grasp. In the
book, he answers questions asked by his fans and followers, demonstrating that
Matt cares for his clients.
Matt
knows that not everyone will agree with his teachings or his psychic readings.
However, his mission is to help as many people as possible, giving them comfort
and restoring their child-like wonder that there is more to life than just the
physical world. “We Never Die,” in my opinion, deserves a spot among holy
texts, college research articles, and self-help books. It should be available to
everyone, children especially. When children are assured that their lost loved
ones are okay and always with them, healing can begin, and lifelong fear and
trauma can be reduced. Children naturally see the universe for what it really
is, a vast awe-inspiring place with infinite possibilities. We first are born as
pure souls, filled with nothing but love and curiosity. Then we grow up and
lose any psychic connections we may had along with faith in the unknown. We are
overwhelmed with responsibilities, stress, anxiety, and hopelessness.
Unlearning the negative concepts and feelings we were exposed to can take a
lifetime...and it does. Learning early on that family is still family, even if
they are not physically on Earth, will allow children and teens to grow up with
a greater sense of faith, positivity, and purpose. It can heal people of any
age. This is what spirituality is all about: connecting with our family of
souls, here on Earth and beyond.
Although
religion can bring healing and a healthy sense of faith for many, the idea of a
God that truly accepts everyone for their strengths and flaws is few and far
between. For those like me who have been skeptical atheists their whole lives,
it’s hard not to think of spirit guides and supernatural communication as “New-Age
woo-woo.” It wasn’t until I started
watching Matt’s YouTube videos and reading his books at the late age of
twenty-eight, did I consider the possibility of the afterlife as something that
could actually exist, beyond religious myth. People can believe what they want…but
in comparison to mainstream beliefs, Matt’s theories provide a unique
never-before seen perspective that incorporates beneficial religious concepts
together (Western Heaven/angels, Eastern reincarnation/karma idea, the scientific
nature of energy, and a few New Age concepts without being too esoteric).
If
all of us had learned to connect to nature and the spirit world early at young
ages, more than likely we’d naturally show more compassion to those in need. We’d
learn to be more mindful of what we do and what we say, thanks to our guides,
but we’d also learn to better solve problems on our own. We’d see that everyone
goes through their own struggles every day, and that we only have each other on
Earth for a short time. Most of all, our fears of an inevitable natural process
would be greatly reduced if we had a basic understanding of how the afterlife
works. (I’d love to see more children’s books address this topic, portraying
death as a natural process that may be sad, but can be handled thanks to the
help of both the living and ancestors in spirit.)
I believe
it is humanities’ divine and basic right to know of the afterlife and our
spiritual family, despite society (primarily western) hiding this from us for
centuries. Shamans, Hindus, the Egyptians, Paganism, Native Americans etc. know
and have known about our connection to the universe from the beginning. Abrahamic
religions also have it right when it comes to the importance of community and
the wonderful mystery of God. Matt himself mentions that there are many things
that can be learned from any religion. Religions and perceptions may be
different, but they all focus on community, faith, and the hope that our
legacies and love will go beyond our deaths.
Matt’s
book sparks the beginning of a new spiritual era that is desperately needed. It
will gradually change human history as we know it and will inspire future
generations to discover the truth about our reality.
Thank
you, Matt Fraser for changing the world and healing so many souls! You are God’s
greatest gift!
Alexa’s
Heartwarming Introduction
“We
Never Die: Secrets of the Afterlife” begins with a foreword from Matt’s wife
Alexa. Death was not a topic that was discussed around her family. Like most
people, Alexa grew fearful at the very thought of death. When she first met
Matt, she couldn’t believe that he was able to speak to the departed. Her shock
and anxiety gradually warmed into acceptance as Matt calmly explained how his
gift worked. Matt gave her a reading and invited her to his group readings.
Alexa grew more used to the events and realized that incredible healing was
taking place. Alexa mentions that Matt’s kindness, humor, high energy, and
compassion puts many people at ease, making them feel like a larger family. She
adds that Matt is “the only one who could ever make death seem so light and
special.” Now that’s an incredible death-defying feat (pun intended)!
Matt’s
Introduction
Matt
begins with a short introduction of his own. He claims that those in spirit are
connected to us forever and that our deceased loved ones are never truly gone.
Matt’s book is about the afterlife, based on his conversations and experiences
with thousands of souls in the spirit world.
Perhaps
we will finally have the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything...at
least while we’re alive.
Chapter
One: “Psychic Ability 101”
Similar
to his previous books, Matt first explains what psychic ability is and how it
works. Matt describes the types of psychic senses:
Clairvoyance
/ “clear-seeing” – seeing things with your mind’s eye
Clairaudience
/ “clear-hearing” – hearing voices beyond your thoughts and everyday
environment
Clairsentience
/ “clear-sensing/feeling” – feeling the presence of spirits or something that
is not there
Claircognizance
/ “clear-knowing” – gut instincts, the ability to know things without any prior
information.
Clairalience
/ “clear-smelling” – smelling things from beyond this world
Clairgustance
/ “clear-tasting” – tasting things from beyond this world
Aside
from voices and visions, many psychics use tools such as tarot cards, tea
leaves, objects, and photographs to help with receiving messages from the
spirit world. Psychics connect to energy in a variety of ways, so it is
important to find one that is trustworthy and works best for you. (Many psychics
are frauds and scammers only out for money, so do your research!) While many
psychics can read a person’s energy and see the future, mediums can sense
departed souls around people and interpret their messages. Matt says that
intuition and psychic ability can be used as practical skills to help with
careers, relationships, traveling etc. It can even help save people’s lives.
Even
though psychic ability is often inherited, Matt says that we each have our own
psychic abilities inside of us to a degree. You don’t have to be a medium to
receive messages because everyone is connected at the soul level. It takes some
practice to interpret signs from spirit and finding ways of communication. Some
people are randomly psychic, some get their ability from their family, and some
get it after a near death experience.
It
is important that psychics and mediums demonstrate awareness of the feelings of
their clients and present helpful information for the client’s best good.
Advice is better than bluntly saying that something bad will happen. The aim is
comfort, not fear. Matt says that a positive attitude and an open mind works
wonders. One cannot predict life; we are all put on Earth to enjoy life, help
people and ourselves, and learn lessons. Mediumship is a divine gift and like
many things, it comes with a great responsibility.
Chapter
Two: “The Truth About Heaven”
Where
is the spirit world?
Matt
Fraser’s theory about Heaven or the spirit world is the one that we all
desperately want to be true. It is not angels sitting on clouds playing harps.
It is much grander…and much closer to us than any religious perception of it.
Instead of the afterlife being separate from Earth, Heaven is portrayed as a
timeless invisible world made of energy that is all around us. It is the same
place where you find atoms and electricity…everywhere and nowhere. It
encompasses the Earth, the oceans, and the entire cosmos. We know more about
the depths of the ocean and the vastness of outer space combined than we do the
mysteries of the afterlife…and perhaps the afterlife trumps them both.
Based
on accounts of NDEs and Matt’s conversations with souls, Heaven is an energy
world that manifests itself to us like a happy dream. It is presented to us in
a way that makes us feel the most comfortable…like a match for our
subconscious. Everyone’s version of paradise is different, but in the
afterlife, everyone can create their own worlds harmoniously together.
What
are souls?
The
spirits of Heaven are essentially sentient beings of energy with godly powers
who reside in a world of endless energy. Perhaps they were created by God, the
genderless benevolent manifestation of the universe, to help in expansion. They
can be in multiple places at once and they have all the powers of science
fiction superheroes: teleportation, time-travel, psychic abilities, shapeshifting,
telepathy, and advanced knowledge. Matt compares spirits watching over multiple
people like being able to communicate with many people on an online Zoom
meeting. Another analogy is the fact that we are all under one sun on Earth. We
are in different places, but we can all see the same thing. (This seems
amazing, far-fetched and unbelievable to my skeptic mind. It’s almost like I’m
an inner kid who wonders, “magic exists after all?”)
We
are supposedly souls having a human experience, not the other way around. We
were created by the universe to evolve, learn, and love, as many spiritual
practices claim. We are born, we live, we die, we go through life reviews, we
help other souls on Earth, we reincarnate to evolve, and the vast cycle begins
again. It is quite possible that we not only have lived previous human lives,
but we may have lived as animals, plants or even aliens in this world and other
worlds. That is why universal love and kindness is so important. It is why
respect toward people of other religions, races, genders, sexualities etc. is
paramount. (Think Sociology 2.0. when you add the culture of souls hiding among
the cultures of Earth. I call the soul version of humanity “soulity.”) Since
there is a great possibility that in other lives, we have all been men, women,
black, white, Asian, Native American, and everyone in between, discriminating
others is, in essence, discriminating against our very selves. Also, if this
“panincarnation” theory rings true, if every living thing has a soul, then
souls are forever, the first and most advanced species in the universe.
When
the soul goes through the tunnel or portal and sees the white light (often
referenced as God), all the pain and fear are left behind, replaced with peace
and calm. Some souls describe death like going to sleep on Earth and waking up
in another world. (So perhaps dreams are like preludes to the “Big Sleep.”) All
the pain, illness, anger, and fear are left behind.
Souls
are then assigned divine jobs doing what they enjoy most…helping other souls in
both worlds. Since souls are still connected to their living family members and
those on Earth, their natural tasks involve comforting and guiding the living.
Since they have no need for time or survival, they don’t get bored. It’s like
they are watching movies about our lives in real time without getting tired! It
is nearly impossible to communicate between two worlds for most people on
Earth, but souls use signs, voices, and visual images in the mind’s eye to
communicate. They also can appear in dreams and meditations when the mind is
clear, and the body is at rest. Since souls communicate with each other
telepathically, they try to do the same for us by sending us messages through
our minds, thoughts, and emotions. It’s like they are an advanced hidden
culture among us.
How
do souls deal with their karma?
During
the Life Review that occurs right after death (and appears in many NDEs), a
soul’s memories are restored, and they get to experience everything that
happened during their life...the good the bad and everything in between. The
life purpose of the soul is revealed. They discover how they helped people and
how they hurt people, intentionally or not. They are able to feel and discover
the emotions and thoughts of those around them during times in their life. The
good news is that they are able to make amends for the people they did hurt by
helping them or someone else on Earth. The Life Review is like Purgatory – all
the negativity and human fear is removed, and the soul evolves at a faster rate,
despite the discomforting bizarreness. It is the only way that we can truly
learn from our mistakes and actions…we are our own harshest critics.
In
addition, souls also have the option to re-review all their past lives and
reincarnate to make further amends. (Assuming that reincarnation is optional).
This may seem scary and daunting for us humans, but if we all become immortal
godlike beings who can exist after death, then the Life Review is something all
of us will handle. It can be assumed that as souls, we will be able to
shapeshift at will into any age and any one of our past life selves.
All
religions and languages can co-exist in Heaven. Everyone, nonbelievers
included, goes to the same place. Those who couldn’t communicate on Earth or
those who used sign language will be able to be understood by everyone in Heaven.
It is like the ultimate utopian society, better than Atlantis, and not
constrained by time and matter. Everyone can understand each other, even if
another soul speaks a different language! A soul in Heaven can also communicate
easily with a medium with their language of symbols, even if they both speak
different languages. Everyone gets along in Heaven and that’s what makes it a
peaceful place.
Do
pets go to Heaven?
Yes!
Heaven would not be complete without our furry, feathery, and scaly friends to
accompany us. Matt has described several readings where dogs and cats in spirit
watch over living people and pets. Pets will often appear among deceased family
members to help a dying person with their transition to the spirit world.
Interestingly enough, pets and animals can communicate with those in Heaven.
Yes, we will be able to understand our pets in the afterlife! There are no
barriers to communication and that extends to different species. It makes sense
because everyone becomes a new species made of energy.
Chapter
Three: “Angels, Signs, and Spirit Visitations”
Big
brother is watching you. And perhaps your spirit sister, family, friends, and a
guide.
Don’t
panic! Believe it or not, souls are everywhere. Land spirits, elementals,
deities, animal spirits, aliens, demons, angels and of course, your loved ones
in spirit. Since we are connected to them, even on Earth, it is natural that
they’d want to make sure their living family members are doing alright. Even
though there may be evil spirits and lost souls here and there, many spirits
want to help us, not hurt us. The majority of us don’t see them, but that
doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Also, spirits can watch over multiple people at
the same time.
According
to Matt, angels and spirit guides are real. Everyone has their own angel and/or
spirit guide whom they interacted with before birth. They are divine helpers
who are assigned to look after a specific person or groups of people. Even
though most cannot see them, they are there to subtly provide you with
opportunities to meet certain people and overcome obstacles.
Why
do we have angels and guides watching over us? A theory is that before we were
born, we chose our guides to help us complete our destinies on Earth. Since we
can all die at any time, our angels and those in spirit are there to help us
transition. If the death is sudden, the guides reassure the newly departed soul
that everything is okay and that their families will be alright in the future.
Yes, we’ll be able to see the past and the future of our own lives and the
lives of our living loved ones in the afterlife.
Who
are my angels?
Angels
are divine celestial beings created by God to aid humanity. There are different
types of angels.
Archangels are the higher-ranking angels: Archangel Michael the
protector, Archangel Raphael the healer, Archangel Uriel the wise angel,
Archangel Ariel the angel of animals, and Archangel Gabriel the creative
communicator. Angels are not human and they can supposedly intervene with fate,
while spirit guides and loved ones in spirit cannot.
Guardian
Angels are there to protect certain
people, presumably from dark spirits and perhaps to warn people of danger.
Earth
Angels are angels who appear in human
form to help save and heal people.
There
are other angels with divine jobs who appear in life for specific purposes.
Who
are my spirit guides?
Spirit
guides were once human beings on Earth, who are assigned to look after the
living. We are all assigned a spirit guide and the guide trains for many years
to learn about our lives and help chart our destiny. The significant thing
about a spirit guide is that they are someone we don’t know personally. A
complete stranger volunteers to help us, which gives them sort of an elevated
status. This may be for several reasons. The guide may want to help a person
overcome a problem (ex. addictions) that they had struggled with on Earth. A
living person may have a talent that is the same thing that the spirit guide
had on Earth, so the guide wants to help the person succeed. Or there may be a
natural energy connection. We all will meet our angels, spirit guides and loved
ones after we cross over and find out how they helped us.
Spirit
guides cannot interfere with our free will, but they can guide us along the
way, even though we can’t see them. Those in spirit communicate through our
dreams, intuition, thoughts, and emotions.
What
are the signs from loved ones?
There
are many different signs from spirit. Signs can be anything but sometimes a
butterfly is just a butterfly. The sign will come up unexpectedly when you need
it to. It just takes some practice to pay attention.
Signs
include…
Unexpected
smells
Repeating
“angel” numbers like 11:11, 12:12 on the clock
Waking
up at certain times like 3AM
Dream
visitations – loved ones can appear in dreams to let you know they are happy
and healthy on the other side. Or they can send you messages.
Lights
flickering
Electrical
signs
Orbs
in photos
Certain
songs or music enjoyed by the loved one in spirit
The
typical signs sent by those in spirit include coins, butterflies, dragonflies,
feathers, birds, and rainbows. You will notice that these signs have specific
themes attached to them: luck, Heaven/sky, flight, transformation, lightness,
smallness, freedom, innocence, movement, and the little things in life. The
soul symbolically lives in the heavens or the sky in many religious and
spiritual traditions. We have looked up at the heavens in wonder since the dawn
of time, wishing we could fly and be free. The signs are often small creatures
that fly, which represent constant movement, nature, innocence, and a reminder
to enjoy the little things in life as well as the big. The flying creatures
seem to be a general reflection of who and what souls are under a human
perspective.
Chapter
Four: “Crossing Over”
Nobody
dies alone. Matt says that your family, friends, and pets in spirit are there
to help you transition when the time is right.
What
happens to people who die tragically?
Matt
says that souls will find peace on the other side, no matter how violent or
tragic their death is on Earth. The dead attend their own funerals, but they
don’t care about the material items or how it is done. They are only concerned
for their loved ones’ wellbeing. Some souls are taken by angels to Heaven and
are spared the pain of death. Even souls who die from suicide are allowed into Heaven,
but they feel regret when looking back on their life. They realize that there
were opportunities for other people to help them and other choices they could
have made. The soul often comes through to their loved ones on Earth during
readings, sharing their feelings and apologizing for the grief they caused for
their family. To make amends, the souls will often help other living people
avoid the same mistake.
Souls
don’t focus too much on their last moments. Instead, they prefer that their
living family members focus on their cherished memories of them. They see all
the good moments you shared with them and are not focused on who was with them
at the time of their death. All memories will be restored…even people who had
Alzheimer’s disease or dementia will get their memories back after passing on.
It doesn’t matter whether the loved one is cremated or buried…departed souls
know that funerals, graves, and ashes are for the comfort of the living.
How
old are we in Heaven?
Souls
don’t celebrate birthdays and are ageless in a world without time. They can
shapeshift into any age they want, the best version of themselves. However,
they will often come to visit during birthdays, weddings, holidays, births, anniversaries,
and other special events. Mothers will be reunited will all children, including
miscarried babies. Beyond the abortion debate, miscarried babies may have
wanted to reincarnate, but since Heaven is a place of peace, perhaps they
wouldn’t be disappointed. More than likely, a baby soul won’t get upset about
not being able to reincarnate, they would just try again! I can only hope that
we are not cursed to reincarnate and learn from our bad karma again and again
for eternity!
Is
dying scary?
For
many people, me included, death freaks them out because they see it as the end.
But Matt claims that death is not the end. Based on his readings, Matt assures
that there is peace and something after death and that it is nothing to be
afraid of. I hope that’s true and not wishful thinking!
Chapter
Five: “Memories and Milestones”
Can
dead people see everything I’m doing?
According
to Matt, yes, they see everything! But don’t freak out! They respect your
privacy and don’t watch you in the bathroom. The loved ones in spirit mainly
focus on special events and everyday events. Those in spirit can see babies and
grandchildren, and oftentimes, babies and children can sense the soul’s
presence. Many “imaginary friends” of children may have been those in spirit
visiting them.
Can
spirits travel anywhere?
Yes,
anywhere and everywhere! Back to your childhood home, the mountains, cities,
the ocean, other planets, all of outer space and throughout time! They can be
in multiple places at once because as beings of energy, they have no limits. Although
their bodies and possessions are left being on Earth, souls carry love and
memories with them. Souls are connected to you, so they will be with you
wherever you go. Who knew that being dead had its perks?
Chapter
Six: “Ask the Medium”
Incredibly
enough, Matt can give readings even if the person is not in the same room. In
fact, Matt says he gives the best readings over the phone or on radio. He
encourages people to let spirit talk during readings and not fill in
information. Some predictions come true
after a long time but free will alters events along the way. Sometimes it takes
years for something to come into fruition. Matt reminds us that he sometimes
makes mistakes because he is human. Not all readings will be as accurate as he
hopes. But he always does his best and includes as many people as possible
because he cares for humanity. A genuine psychic medium reading is a special
once in a lifetime opportunity for those who have an open mind…especially from
the legendary Matt!
Matt
reminds us not to rely on mediums too much, because a good balance is needed
between mundane reality and spirituality. Real life comes first for obvious
reasons. Sometimes souls won’t come through in a reading because it’s either
not the right time or they let other souls go first who have more urgent
messages to give to those they love. Be mindful and patient…spirituality’s main
theme is the message: “the universe will work things out.”
Genuine
mediums are tuned in to their client’s emotions. They allow the spirit to speak,
and they display no bias. They don’t care about the profit; they care about the
person. They don’t make promises or say things bluntly that could instill fear
of the future in the client. Instead, they give comforting advice, like any
therapist or counselor. It is said that doctors heal the body, psychologists heal
the mind, and mediums heal the soul.
Chapter
Seven: “Love and Relationships”
How
can we live our lives after our spouse is gone?
Matt
says from readings he did, that couples and soulmates who loved each other
truly will end up reuniting in the afterlife. Interestingly enough, those in
the spirit world don’t get jealous that their living partner gets married to
someone else. The spouse in spirit wants their loved one to be happy and they
know they will be reunited in the afterlife. As humans on Earth, we are used to
thinking that our loved ones will get jealous or upset if we date someone else,
but souls on the other side only focus on growth and happiness. Heaven doesn’t
care about marriage certificates…it is a place of Disney-like true love.
Do
gay people end up together?
Yes.
Love is love in Heaven. (Except hopefully when it comes to anything forbidden
like pedophilia and nonconsenting relationships). It is also possible that
polygamous or partnerships with more than two people will also be reunited
together in Heaven if the relationships were genuine. Matt also mentions that
not all couples end up together, particularly in loveless marriages. “Love has
no limits” is a concept that still needs to be accepted by us humans.
What
is a soulmate?
A
soulmate or twin flame is someone your heart is connected to at the deepest
level. Often it is a spouse, but it could be a friend, family member or even a
pet. Why should soulmates only be defined romantically? Soulmate has the word
“mate” in it, which means friend. Friendship is the basic root of all
relationships. Some believe that soulmates have shared past lives.
Chapter
Eight: “I’m Not Afraid of Ghosts: Hauntings, Bad Deeds, and Negative Souls”
Should
I be worried about evil spirits?
Unfortunately,
just as there are negative people on Earth, there are evil spirits on the other
side. Some of them are lost, others prey on the energy of people. Doing bad
things on Earth and not completing their Life Reviews results in some souls
being stuck on Earth and unable to move on. Some earthbound souls have a hard
time with transitioning, or they may not be ready. All souls are born pure, but
some get corrupted by negativity and their evil actions. Many negative souls
hang around dark isolated places like haunted houses, asylums, abandoned
hospitals etc.
Matt
says that positive energy pushes out negative energy. Psychic vampires are
negative people that drain other people of energy without awareness. They are
stuck in greed and selfishness.
Are
events in life predestined?
Yes
and no. Matt says that we are destined to meet certain people and receive
opportunities. Plus, we are all destined to die. However, we do have free will
and can make our own choices. Most of us face illness, pain, and grief in order
to grow. Although it seems like illness and pain are predestined for everyone, there
are some people who don’t experience those, like, for example, babies and
children who die suddenly, or people with emotional/neural disorders. Many
spiritual theories say that we choose our parents and lives before we were born…we
knew our goals and life purpose but agreed to have our memories removed to
start with a clean slate. No one knows for certain. Only God knows our origins
and why we were made. Matt himself states: “illnesses or tragedies aren’t
predestined, they’re just part of living an earthly life. The spiritual side of
us can learn from those events but they’re not ‘meant to be.’ We are spiritual
beings, and while we’re here to learn and grow, we aren’t sent here to suffer.’”
(Rant)
One
of the things that angers me deeply is when people say, “you chose all your
struggles, accidents, disabilities etc. to make up for past life karma.” I can’t
think of anything more degrading and inappropriate to say to someone! First of all,
we don’t know if past lives exist and even if they did, it wouldn’t be fair to
have to make up for all the mistakes you don’t remember making! We have no
choice but to focus on one lifetime at a time. Second, accidents and disabilities
and illnesses are not pre-planned! Like Matt states, they are unfortunate facts
of life that we all have to deal with on Earth. To say that a soul agreed to
undergo war, rapes, tortures, disabilities, and painful deaths before they’re
even born dehumanizes them and makes an excuse for predators to continue their
actions. It’s not too different from saying “God made me do it/God chose your
life.” Third, why in the world would a soul choose a human life if it knew everything
about the painful trials they’d have to go through? (Memory erasure is still
not an excuse – souls know everything deep down). I theorize that much of the
bad information and risks are hidden from the new soul on purpose to lessen the
fear of incarnation.
Fourth,
Heaven would not be Heaven if we are forced to reincarnate and amend our
endless bad deeds in other lives. The afterlife is a timeless world where we should
be allowed to have fun and evolve at our own pace, even if it takes hundreds of
Earth years. I’ve seen so many concepts in spiritual books where souls are separated
from their families, judged by elite council souls, and graded by their “levels
of evolution,” their aura colors (blue and violet as “higher” than the
red-orange beginners – “Journey of Souls” by Michael Newton) and the number of their
incarnations and how kind and spiritual they were. A few spiritual books with
biased authors portrayed conservatives and tribal people as “younger infant
souls,” without taking into account the complexities of the human personality
and lifestyles. The “older souls” were the “wise outcasts,” who had psychic powers
and cared for humanity. The authors even dared to claim that their “spirit
guides” guided their writing! (This is why it is important to have a critical mind
when it comes to abstract complex topics, or any topic. Beware of spiritual
stereotypes!).
Guess
what? Not everyone is spiritual, not everyone believes in God or Jesus but that
does not make them any less of a human or a soul. Labels are human-made
constructs to rate others and keep us in line. Humans like to label things
because it is harder for us to think in broader terms. Souls are complex energy
beings, mini-gods that should never be compared to each other, let alone
labeled. We are all unique and grow at our own frequencies. I believe that all
of us, human, animal, plant, etc. will reach oneness with God during our own
times…a real benevolent Universe would never let us fail and leave us behind. It
doesn’t matter how many incarnations you’ve had or whether you’ve helped
humanity…what should matter is the quality of lives you’ve lived, how much you
loved yourself and others…and your effort to learn your lessons along the way.
Is
there such a thing as Hell?
Although
most Near-Death Experiences are peaceful and enlightening with the tunnel of
light, some people have NDEs where they are either in blackness or they
experience a hellish “dark night of the soul.” “Hell” NDEs are rarer but factors
may be certain medications that affect the mind of the dying person. A theory
is that the negative NDEs happen to some people in order to challenge and test
their soul. It is scary, but it is a sort of learning experience for them. Like
many NDEs with religious figures and Jesus in them, the bad NDEs consist of
demons or events that the person had learned about based on their cultural and
religious backgrounds. Religion and social norms have become so ingrained into
our minds that they will naturally come out when the mind is free from its normal
everyday state. Perhaps NDEs are the merging of universal energy and a person’s
subconscious. Some NDEs are more esoteric, consisting of visits to other
planets and realms. Another theory is that those who don’t experience NDEs or
are stuck in blackness perhaps have a “sleeping soul” or one that is not ready
to transition to the other side. Some people get to choose whether to come
back, while others are told to go back with no choice. I hope this means that
we aren’t stuck in a reincarnation trap, forced to deal with our karma for
eternity.
Matt
has said that he has never done a reading where a person was in Hell. If they
were, they wouldn’t be able to communicate with mediums in the first place.
Some souls are unreachable because they are in the process of making amends,
finding their way, or transitioning fully to the other side.
Is
there a difference between ghosts and spirits?
A
spirit is a soul of a person you know, a ghost is a soul of a stranger. Often
times ghosts revisit places like their former homes to check up on things. Those
who have wronged a person in life see the error of their ways on the other side
and will often come through in readings to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
Do
people have to answer for their bad deeds when they die?
During
the Life Review, the soul gets to experience everything that happened in their
lives, the good, bad, and everything in between. It is instant and natural for
an advanced being of energy and feels overwhelming for humans to imagine. It is
like watching a movie of your life in a vivid dream. They see how they helped
people and how they hurt people, even if it wasn’t intentional. They feel and
experience the emotions of the people around them, eliminating the barrier
between minds. Allowing the soul to see their lives and exactly how they can
learn their lessons is the only way they can reach their enlightenment.
Punishment doesn’t help, it only instills fear. After their Life Review is
complete, memories restored and soul purified, they make amends by helping
people and families they’ve wronged on Earth. (While also embracing their
energy world and true selves). Hopefully God does not judge souls…only you
judge yourself. And hopefully human bias and fear won’t get in the way. The
good thing is that most souls do end up in Heaven and benefit from their
transformation.
If
you were angry in life, will you still be angry in Heaven?
Souls
keep their personalities in Heaven, except the Life Review and the death
transition gives them a chance to leave behind all anger, hate, and negativity.
Presumably, it’s much easier to control emotions and thoughts as a soul than it
is as a human…because thoughts and souls are both energy. The soul has a chance
to become the pure soul they were before birth.
Why
are Ouija boards bad?
Ouija
boards open up portals to allow any kind of spirit through, good or bad. It is
very risky to use if you don’t have proper protections in place or a psychic
who knows how to use one. Unlike spirit guides, negative spirits feed off energy
of the living and often try to scare them with pranks and death messages. For
an analogy, it’s almost like spirit guides are our teachers, evil spirits are
like shady adults, and we are like oblivious children trying to navigate our
world.
What
is psychic protection?
Psychic
protection helps to protect yourself from negativity. There are several
different methods to use:
Self-care
and intuition
Blocking
negative people
Not
searching for evil spirits and not using Ouija Boards
Surrounding
yourself with positive people
Meditation
– focusing on a circle of mirrors or a white light/light of Christ for
protection
Firmly
telling unwanted spirits that their presence is not welcome. Or find an expert
medium/exorcist
Casting
circles in witchcraft
Calling
on God, angels, and spirit guides
Using
herbs or sage (with respect to Native American cultures and permission) to
clear away negative energy in a space
Letting
in air and sunlight and keeping rooms cleansed. Making your space your own.
Chapter
Nine: “Heal, Manifest, and Transform Your Life”
Why
are we here on Earth?
The
answer is different for everyone, but the universal answer is: we are here to
learn, love, and live. Earth is a classroom for some, a battlefield for others
and a game to others. For some, it is a strange repetitive dream…with the fear
of “waking up” at death or not waking up at all. It is many things to many
people but it’s all about connection. Everyone and everything is connected,
including beings in both the physical and spiritual worlds. It is hard to
imagine that since we can’t see the spirit world. But since we are all connected
on Earth, the same applies to the universe. Separation and time and perhaps
death may be the greatest illusions. Since we are all connected to nature and
each other, showing kindness is very important. It doesn’t matter what religion
you believe in or where you came from…the universe includes everyone. You’ve
heard many times before that we are all one family on Earth. Add in that souls
in another world are also connected to us and you have the most divine family
reunion.
Why
do we face challenges and struggles?
Everyone
deals with pain, illness, grief, problems, and death. If we didn’t face
challenges, we wouldn’t grow and learn. Birth itself is a great challenge for
the soul and so is death. Then there are all the good and bad and mundane
moments in between. After all, a good story doesn’t only have relaxing moments
in it. Life is the greatest adventure…but death may be even greater. Sometimes
people come into our lives that we have problems with, but sometimes that can
lead to something better down the road. A problematic situation could introduce
a friendship to a person which then introduces a person to their spouse or
soulmate. To provide some solace, know that you are never alone, we’re all in
this together. We all have our own problems, anxieties, and journeys to work
with.
“They
say that death and taxes are the two certainties in life. But they forgot the
other two: love and learning.” – Kathy Prior 42
How
can we get past grief?
Everyone
deals with grief in their own ways. Some people don’t go through the grief
stages in order and for some, it can take years to move on. Even though losing a
loved one is the hardest thing to go through, we all can get through it.
There
are several things that may help with the process. Going through old photos and
deciding what to do with the loved one’s belongings is a good place to start.
Some people may worry that their loved one would be upset that their belongings
were lost or given away. But according to Matt, the spirits only care about
their family enjoying life on Earth instead of material items. Cherishing life
and remembering the happy times spent with departed loved ones brings them
closer. Energy is energy after all.
There
is also therapy, counseling and talking to those you trust. And for those brave
enough, they can find a trusted medium and experience a reading. It is not
recommended to see mediums all the time as life is a balance between everyday
life and spiritual life. Physical reality is the primary concern.
Some
people have various thoughts of guilt. “I should have been there for them
before they died.” “I feel guilty for moving on and not thinking about them.”
Surprisingly enough, Matt says that those in spirit do not miss those they
love, but that’s not because they don’t love them. Since they are immortal
energy beings and at peace, they only want us to focus on living our best
lives. They are the helpful beings in the background of our lives. You can
communicate to your loved ones anytime, whether writing letters, saying things
out loud or meditating. It may seem weird talking to someone who is not there…but
perhaps they already are! If it provides comfort, that’s what matters.
How
can we discover our purpose?
Find
out what your talents are! We are often good at things we enjoy. Cooking, art,
music, writing, building, business, teaching, inventing, leading, nursing,
caregiving, and many other things are out there. Everyone is good at something…your
talents could come to life in careers with some hard work and devotion. Leave
behind negativity, surround yourself with positive people, set goals, take
steps, and care for yourself. It may take a lifetime to figure it out but
remember there are so many activities out there to discover. Spirits cannot eat
or do activities the same way we can on Earth…it is up to us to enjoy and make
use of our lives. A positive attitude and open mind are key.
Both
traditional medicine and positive thoughts can help you heal. Imagination Heals
is a program that helps sick children overcome severe illnesses. When children
were exposed to positive books, movies, and audio CDs during treatment, they
healed at a faster rate than other kids, almost eighty percent. The message is
don’t let illnesses get you down. Live one day at a time and think positive
thoughts as much as you can. Positive affirmations and prayers each day may
help get you into a happier mindset.
Chapter
Ten: “A Few Last Thoughts About Karma, Divine Guidance, Energy, and the
Universe”
According
to Matt, spirits can be in many places at the same time and watch over all
their loved ones. How is that possible? It is possible because spirits are
energy and infinite energy is everywhere around us. Spirits can watch over
family and help others on Earth at the same time. Since spirits are energy,
they don’t need to eat or sleep. However, they often show themselves as eating
or doing activities they loved to do on Earth to symbolize their earthly lives.
It is also a way for them to confirm to their loved ones on Earth that it is
really them. Souls can also appear as orbs in pictures, often seen at family
events. Souls are their best selves in Heaven, but they also evolve in their
own ways by helping and loving others.
Matt
says that karma is real and there is good and bad karma. Karma comes back to
the giver. Those who do good things receive the benefits and those who do bad
things have to learn their lessons. There are simple ways to create good karma:
forgive others, express gratitude, be mindful of your actions and be kind to
yourself. Self-care and letting go of negative emotions at your own pace will
allow you to better help others.
Epilogue
Matt
says that those in spirit can guide you in your life, but they won’t help you
cheat life, nor will they tell you what to do. You have free will and your
loved ones in spirit want you to live your best life. Matt also says that those
in the spirit world are creating the lives they wished they could’ve lived on
Earth…making their own worlds! They have no fear and are able to guide those on
Earth.
There
are many things you can do to get closer to your goals.
-
Act like your
goal has already been achieved in your head
-
Ask your loved
ones for help, living and in spirit
-
Trust your
intuition
-
Work hard and put
in the effort
-
Be patient
-
Have an open mind
-
Care for yourself
-
Show gratitude
-
Find your talents
Matt concludes, the more you learn about Heaven and
the afterlife, the more you’ll learn that the spirit world is an energy world
that is actually all around us…and you’ll eventually realize that we are
eternal souls living a human experience, not the other way around. The scariest
thing, death, is paradoxically the greatest gift.
The world is blessed to have a compassionate divine
soul that is Matt Fraser, the Soul Whisperer. I wish him and his family all the
best, in life and beyond.
Still
some unanswered questions for Matt that need confirmation:
Does
God (genderless Source) exist? If so, why were we all created?
Does
Jesus and the ascended masters exist?
How
does reincarnation work? Is it forced or optional? Common or rare? And how do
souls keep track of their infinite selves?
Do
we watch over loved ones right away? Reincarnate? Or can we relax and make up
for lost time on Earth?
What
do souls have to say about sexuality and why some people don’t feel like they
are their gender? Do we choose how we are born?
Do
souls get jealous of the living being able to fully enjoy drinks, food, sex,
etc.?
Why
don’t guardian angels save everyone?
Do
souls choose their parents and their socioeconomic status? Are disabilities
planned or just like accidents and part of living on Earth?
How
hard is it to become a spirit guide? Have we been spirit guides before?
Are
souls judged by their levels of evolution?
Are
mental disabilities like autism and ADHD etc. which are ingrained into the
person’s identity, removed in Heaven or are the good quirks allowed to stay?
Is
the spirit world full of many levels or is it one place?
Can
earthbound souls and evil souls get redeemed?
Do
animals and plants and bacteria have their own spirit loved ones and spirit
guides?
What
about people on Earth who don’t meet their soulmates, do they find true love in
the afterlife?
Can
evil spirits harm other souls in the afterlife?
What
happens when a victim on Earth meets their murderer or a virus or an animal
that killed them in the afterlife?
Why
are some people psychic and others are not?
How
do loved ones and spirit guides feel when they watch over evil souls on Earth?
