Reverend Nancy Smith creates spirit drawings that accurately depict deceased loved ones she's never met, reads the Akashic Records to access consciousness-level information, and brings through mediumship messages providing evidence that awareness continues after physical death. Her work bridges artistic expression with spiritual communication, offering families specific details that prove loved ones are still present.

Smith has been highly sensitive since childhood, perceiving information beyond what people say in words. A major awakening forced her to develop and trust her abilities. Now she works from what she calls the highest vibrational level, accessing information directly from the "creator."

Her spirit drawings capture faces she's never seen with specific details like eye shadows, jawlines, and exact hairstyles that families instantly recognize. As she draws, she simultaneously receives personality traits, last words spoken, and emotional information. The process evolved from sketching what she visually perceived to automatic drawing where consciousness guides her pencil. One drawing contained multiple family members, each recognizable in the single image. Another time she drew a masculine face for a woman's grandmother but it turned out to be the son the person actually needed to hear from.

She also creates soul art using pastels to show healing colors and symbolic guidance, and works as a medium bringing through deceased loved ones who describe their existence on the other side. Each method accesses the same source but with different intentions and outcomes.

Drawing the Deceased: How Spirit Art Proves Consciousness Continues | Reverend Nancy Smith (Episode 189)

Kathy (M.K.) McDaniel had a near-death experience while in a medically-induced coma from severe pneumonia. What she witnessed during those moments of clinical death challenges everything we think we know about consciousness and what happens after we die. Her experience included terrifying visions followed by profound joy, providing compelling evidence that awareness continues beyond physical death.

Kathy was raised Catholic and believed everything she was taught about the afterlife, including concepts of purgatory and hell. When she fell critically ill in Seattle, she was put into a drug-induced coma with only a 38 percent chance of survival. During that coma, she had an extensive near-death experience that lasted what felt like years. She witnessed dark, disturbing scenes and confusing scenarios. But the experience shifted dramatically, revealing something that transformed her entire understanding of existence.

What makes Kathy's case compelling is the contrast between the terrifying visions and the profound joy that followed. She describes the experience in her book Misfit in Hell to Heaven. Her story raises important questions about consciousness, the nature of the afterlife, and whether our beliefs shape our experiences when we die.

Kathy shares details about what she witnessed, why she thinks her experience began the way it did, and what the joyful portion revealed about survival of consciousness and the reality of life after death.

From Terrifying Visions to Pure Joy: Her NDE Revealed What Happens After We Die | Kathy McDaniel (Episode 188)

Elizabeth Rea uses psychic abilities to advise CEOs and founders on high-stakes decisions, and previously worked with US federal agents solving cold murder cases. She's the founder of Insightful, where she provides expanded intelligence to help leaders make clearer decisions in complex business environments. Her work spans solving unsolved murders and guiding executives toward better outcomes.

Rea had a near-death experience at 16 in a McDonald's bathroom. During the incident, she watched from outside her body as a nurse checked her pulse on a white Timex watch. She could hear people's thoughts and feel their emotions. That experience revealed to her that consciousness exists independently of the physical body.

Her ability to access this expanded intelligence later helped solve a cold murder case in a Napa Valley tavern that had been unsolved for 20 years. She saw a man with dirty blonde hair and a white T-shirt, and visualized an old Cadillac with a tail fin. Thirty days after sharing these details, DNA evidence identified the murderer serving time in a Colorado prison. He had stolen the exact white Cadillac she described.

Now Rea works confidentially with ethical founders, CEOs, and investors worldwide. Her clients seek her out for clarity, sharper decision-making, and understanding the forces at play in complex situations. She discusses how the CIA has infiltrated psychic programs and why government agencies continue using psychic abilities despite public denial.

5 Afterlife Evidence Events Not to Miss This Summer: Meet Top Psi Researchers + Transform Your Grief | Special Announcement

Professor Callum E. Cooper, PhD has spent two decades researching parapsychology and haunting cases with scientific rigor. His research covers out-of-body experiences, phone calls from the dead, mediumship cases, and death bed apparitions. Unlike the dismissal of paranormal research as woo, his work is grounded in psychology, statistics, and field investigation. He holds PhDs in social sciences, serves on the council of the Society for Psychical Research, and has written multiple books providing evidence that challenges conventional explanations.

Cooper studied classic haunting cases like the Cheltenham Ghost, where an apparition appeared repeatedly and could be tracked through a house. Researchers could experiment with it, follow it, and document its behavior over time. The apparition cast shadows, was seen from windows, and left questions that remain unexplained even today. He investigated Dr. Alex Tanous, who was tested for 20 years for out-of-body experiences. During experiments, strain gages were activated when Tannis performed well on remote viewing tasks. He achieved remarkable statistical outcomes describing objects in distant rooms through optical illusion devices.

Cooper's work includes phone calls from the deceased and the living, mediumship cases with verified details, and Gansfeld experiments showing statistically significant results in extrasensory perception research. Even skeptics acknowledge the statistical outcomes from Gansfeld studies are more replicated than expected in psychology. His approach separates genuine unexplained phenomena from hoaxes and hallucinations through rigorous analysis.

Liz and Professor Cooper discuss his most compelling cases, what remains unexplained in parapsychology research, how logical thinking supports rather than dismisses paranormal evidence, and what his research reveals about consciousness, death, and afterlife.

Phone Calls From the Dead: A Parapsychology Professor Explains Unexplained Cases | Callum E. Cooper, PhD (Episode 186)

Vincent (Vinney) Tolman died in 2003 in a Dairy Queen bathroom after taking an accidental overdose of a supplement. Clinically dead, he was bagged and transported to a medical examiner. A rookie medic broke protocol and resuscitated him. What makes his case compelling: while clinically dead, Vinney had verifiable experiences that challenge our understanding of consciousness and what happens when we die.



While his body lay dead in a bathroom, Vinney's consciousness watched from outside his body. He observed paramedics attempting resuscitation, watched his body being bagged, saw the ambulance, and witnessed specific medical procedures including defibrillation shocks. He watched his arm being strapped down in the ICU. When he reconnected with his body, he could verify details he had no way of knowing while unconscious.

He also had some remarkable and transformational experiences in a non physical dimension. Including some people and beings he met there, which later provided shocking evidence that something very real was going on.

Vinney's case included observable elements that corroborate his account. He describes what he saw while dead, what was verifiable, and what this suggests about consciousness continuing after brain death. This is a documented case of someone who experienced verifiable events while clinically dead, providing evidence that consciousness may exist independently of brain function.

He Died. Was Put into a Body Bag. Came Back to Tell. | Vincent (Vinney) Tolman (Episode 185)

Dr. Debra Lynne Katz uses remote viewing to find missing people, predict future outcomes, and locate lost objects. She's founder of the International School of Clairvoyance and former president of the International Remote Viewing Association, a practicing clairvoyant, medium, and parapsychological researcher.

Remote viewing isn't what you think. Clients hire Dr. Katz to predict crypto and stock movements, find missing jewelry and pets, hunt buried treasure, and locate missing people. She worked with police on a case where a two-year-old boy went missing in Oregon. She described the location matching where his body was found in the river.

Dr. Katz discovered her psychic abilities at 27 after realizing she and her identical twin sister had lifelong synchronicities. What started as personal practice became a mission teaching others that psychic abilities aren't rare. Everyone can develop them.

But here's what's surprising: even the most celebrated remote viewers sometimes hit and sometimes miss. Dr. Katz spent years researching why performance varies. Her studies reveal consistency problems nobody talks about. When she had judges re-score hundreds of sessions, ratings ranged from 3 to 6.5 on the same session. This led her to explore AI judging for reliability humans can't achieve.

Liz and Dr. Katz discuss retrocausality, the theory that future events impact the present, why remote viewing becomes addictive, and her groundbreaking research on remote viewing viruses and using AI to analyze psychic data.

Finding Treasure and Missing Objects with Remote Viewing  | Debra Lynne Katz, PhD (Episode 184)

Dr. Roger Nelson, founder of the Global Consciousness Project, shares how random number generators placed around the world respond when millions of people focus on major events like 9/11, elections, and celebrity deaths.

Dr. Nelson started at Princeton University's Engineering Anomalies Research Lab studying whether human consciousness could affect sensitive electronic equipment. They found 15% of people could change random number generator behavior through intention alone. People who could do it were free of conditioning that says you can't. The effects were tiny but accumulated over years of data collection.

This led Dr. Nelson to create the Global Consciousness Project in 1997. He placed random number generators around the world to see if major global events would affect them when millions share the same emotional state. The network started with 3 devices and grew to 60-70 by the end of the formal experiment. GCP 2.0 now has 1600 random number generators sending data to cloud servers.

The results were undeniable. Across 500 events, the data showed a seven sigma deviation with odds of three parts in a trillion against chance. But what shocked researchers most was the timing. On 9/11, changes started four hours before the first plane hit. Major earthquakes showed patterns eight hours before they struck. Dr. Nelson's explanation: the global mind had premonitions.

Liz and Dr. Nelson discuss why random number generators are vulnerable to consciousness when other devices aren't, what the noise problem means for interpreting results, and why some elections produced strong effects while others showed nothing at all.

Our Minds Affect Machines - The Global Consciousness Project | Roger Nelson, PhD (Episode 182)

Retired NYPD detective Mark Pucci and psychic medium Kiersten Hathcock share how they've partnered for over a decade solving cold cases and finding missing people when police departments gave up.

Kiersten, an entrepreneur who had appeared on Shark Tank, was shocked when she got contacted by a boy who had passed away. She was even more shocked when what she got was verified. Her scientific brain tried explaining everything away until she started physically seeing deceased people.

Mark was working a missing person case when the widow asked if he'd talk to a medium in Arizona. He said absolutely. When they met at a New York City restaurant and compared notes, Kiersten's information matched his investigation in ways she couldn't have known.

One morning Kiersten called Mark at 4am sensing he was in danger, with a warning that possibly saved his life. What happened next changed the entire trajectory of the case.

Liz, Mark, and Kiersten discuss how Mark validates psychic information, what it feels like for Kiersten to receive messages from the deceased versus the living, how they've worked on cases ranging from missing indigenous women to homicides misclassified as suicides.

They explain story and meaning behinbd the non-profit they cofounded, the National Institute for Law and Justice.

Detective + Psychic Medium Team Up and Solve Cases | Kirsten Hathcock + Mark Pucci (Episode 182)

Dorie Pickle, author of Dawn: A Fresh Perspective on Life, Death and the Other Side, shares how her mom Carly had vivid dreams and visions in her final days that revealed specific details about the afterlife, and made Dorie promise to write a book about what she was seeing.

Carly spent 40 years battling kidney disease. When she was hospitalized for pneumonia, something shifted. She started telling everyone who came into her hospital room about what she was witnessing. She told Dorie "I am staring death in the face right now" and described things about our journey and existence that she'd never known before. She explained details about levels and structures that exist on the other side that we can't see from here.

Then Carly had a vivid dream about buying and reading a book in an airport bookstore that described everything she was experiencing. She and Dorie spent two hours trying to find this book online. It didn't exist. Carly turned to Dorie and said "then you have to write it." She made Dorie promise she would.

Dorie shares some of the hundreds of signs she's received from her mom since her passing, why she stopped drinking alcohol to connect with her mom more in dreams and how it worked, and what her mom's visions revealed about the journey we're all on. Liz and Dorie discuss music as a conduit to the other side and why creativity might be essential to understanding life after death and our meaning in this life.
