Prologue
What is going on in the world? We live crowded, busy lives that often leave us feeling empty and alone. Material wealth and creature comforts fail to truly satisfy our needs or make us happy. We eat, drink, and indulge our five senses to excess and yet life’s "fullness" eludes us. This is as true within our individual families as it is in the global community. Have we just lost sight of what is really important?
I have come to believe that the real solutions to our problems must also include that which we cannot verify using only our five senses. There is a whole world that is invisible to us but essential to our survival, just like the air we breathe.
Our Life Force is composed of core energy. This energy, like all energy, can never be destroyed. The vessel of this energy is the soul, in concert with the Divine Force of the Universe. The soul does not die when the physical body ceases to function; the soul’s identity and energy continues to exist in a new form. And in this new form, the soul can and often does continue to interact with those of us who remain here in the physical world.
This book is intended for those who have heard the words "soul mates," "spirit guides," and "past lives" and wondered if they are just new age buzzwords or if life beyond the flesh really exists. I invite you to explore and consider the possibilities that these concepts suggest. Read about the hidden relationships that may be affecting your life and may explain your personality, life path, and even your life’s purpose. Let my words arouse your curiosity and provoke you to do some deep soul-searching. Let my personal experience as well as my research challenge your traditional perceptions. See if any part resonates with your heart in a way that gives you further comfort and peace. If it has, then I have achieved my life’s purpose.
