Loved ones on the Other Side are with us

Medium Laura Lynne Jackson writes: “Each one of us comes into this life with unique gifts and unique contributions to make. Finding and honoring our true selves will always help us navigate our points of faith.

“We must learn to recognize our own light,” she affirms. “We must always let our truths and gifts and light guide our paths.”

“There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ paths—just different lessons we learn on different paths. There are, however, definitely higher and lower paths, and taking the higher one can make learning our lessons easier. If we honor our own truths, our unique gifts, and our own light, we create a very beautiful picture indeed. And if we consistently do this, we find ourselves on our true path.

“While we are choosing which path to take, our loved ones on the Other Side are hoping that we will make the best choice—and even at times exerting pull to help us find it. They want us to be the best versions of ourselves and achieve happiness and fulfillment.

“Spirit guides are souls who have lived on earth before (but not during our current lifetime) and are now continuing their journeys on the Other Side. As part of their journeys, they have jobs—just as we do here on earth. Those jobs are meant to help them learn the lessons they need to learn so that they, too, can move forward in their journeys. These souls become spirit guides, and being spirit guides helps them grow. They are our protectors, teachers, mentors, and cheerleaders. They put thoughts in our heads and send us nudges, signs, affirmations, creative impulses, brainstorms, instincts, gut feelings. When we talk about honoring our pull, they are the ones who are pulling. They always want us to find our best path.

“Ultimately, though, it is up to us to make the choices, and that is where free will comes in. Sometimes we make decisions that lead us down a path of fear rather than a path of love. When that happens, we can veer off course and become lost.

“But we must never forget that we all have the innate capacity to honor the pull and get back on the true path.

Jeff Tarrant, a psychologist teaching and doing research at the University of Missouri, performed an EEG study of Jackson while she was engaged in contacting a deceased child on the Other Side. An EEG measures electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp that reflect cortical activity (these are commonly known as ‘brainwaves.’ He then analyzed digitally the EEG, which produces what is called a gEEG.

Tarrant told Jackson: “there was a high degree of abnormal activity in the right rear portion of my brain where the parietal and temporal lobes meet. Instead of a steady series of small waves—normal, which suggests brainwave activity—Jeff recorded a series of bigger, intermittent waves, the kind usually seen in deep sleep or when a person is in a coma.”

“The voltage of brainwaves is measured in microvolts, and the normal range is from zero to 60,” he explained. “But your activity in some areas was as high as 150 microvolts! You were blowing out the scale!”

“You are not asleep or unconscious or meditating, yet parts of your brain appear to be offline,” he said. “It’s as if you’re consciously getting your brain out of the way so that other people and other messages can come through. When you perform as a psychic or a medium some parts of your brain are basically not functioning, even though there’s no event to explain why that’s so. Somehow your brain is capable of getting into this altered state on its own.”

“This made sense to me. When I do a reading, my ego dissolves, and I connect with something greater than myself, some thing beyond my individual persona. The portal that allows for that, the test results seems to suggest, was somewhere in my brain.”

Tarrant also told Jackson: “I ran your data through what is called a Traumatic Brain Injury discriminant analysis (TBI), and it produced a 97.5 percent probability index for you. That means your brainwave patterns are almost 100 percent consistent with those of someone who has had a traumatic brain injury.”

“Visually,” Jackson explains, “the Other Side has shown me a massive field of light energy, not unlike the sun. This field is unified, but it is also distinctly made up of billions and billions of smaller points of light, like a single image that, on close inspection, is made up of hundreds of smaller images. These billions of points of light are us.

“What I see is that we comprise the massive field of light—it cannot exist without us. But neither can we individually exist outside this field. Our existence is primarily defined by our place in this grand constellation of energy, not by who we are individually. We may appear to exist separately from anyone else, and we may perceive the boundaries that describe us and feel we are autonomous. But our energy, our consciousness, is inexorably entangled with the energy of others.

“To me, that is better evidence of our interconnected existence than any scientific experiment could ever provide. We are all connected. We are all entangled. We are all invested in each other’s fates and fortunes.

“To the world you may be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.”
