📝 Description: Seeking Your Loved One on the Other Side: Communications with the Invisible Universe (Edition, , New of Seeking Jordan)

- Shares a proven process that has worked for the author as well as thousands of others to communicate with deceased loved ones - Explores the use of mediums, past-life and between-life hypnotic regressions, a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and channeled writing - Presents revelations about the soul's life after death, the structure of the afterlife, how karma works, and how to love in the face of pain If you've lost a loved one or had a brush with mortality, you undoubtedly have wondered about life after death--or if it's possible to connect with souls on the other side. After the tragic death of his son, Jordan, the author embarked on a journey for ways to communicate with his son across the veil. He discovered not only successful methods to connect with lost loved ones but also profound truths about the afterlife, the illusion of loss, and how pain is integral to our life purpose. McKay recounts techniques he tried in order to connect with his son, including collecting unusual experiences from family and friends, consulting mediums such as Austyn Wells, undergoing past-life and between-life regressions, engaging in a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and using channeled writing, which he learned with the help of psychologist Ralph Metzner. The culmination of hundreds of channeled conversations with his son, the author presents revelations about the soul's life after death, the structure and key events of the afterlife, how karma works, why we incarnate, our future as souls, and how to love in the face of pain. As Jordan reveals, nothing is truly lost. The soul is constant and, while pain seems to damage us, the damage is an illusion. Because, as Jordan says, "there is no end; the conversation goes on . . . between all the souls who love each other, living and dead."

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
This book provides a structured approach to mediumship and grief, grounded in McKay’s personal tragedy. It effectively combines practical exercises with philosophical reflections on karma and the soul’s journey. However, it may not suit readers seeking rigorous academic proof or those who prefer traditional religious doctrines over experiential spirituality. Skeptics of psychic phenomena might find the reliance on channeled writing and regressions unconvincing or overly subjective. The tone is undeniably warm, but its utility depends entirely on the reader’s openness to non-materialist explanations of consciousness. It is best for those already inclined toward esoteric views rather than those looking for hard scientific data.
