We don’t use Ben’s real name. We decided that since he has living friends and relatives and possibly enemies who might be concerned about things he could say we just won’t make his identity known.
Occasionally someone does guess who he is and they they want proof. Ben declines to offer any information about his recent life that might provide definitive proof that he was that person.
As far as he is concerned he is just an “ordinary old dead guy.” The things he likes to talk about involve life in the “Timeless, Spaceless Place” where everyone goes when they leave their physical bodies, and the people he has helped to “cross over.”
Ben wants to talk again.
Ben:
Thank you, Donya. I’m Ben and I want to say that not only should you not fear death, you should not fear dead people. Modern people have been taught that they cannot talk to their dead loved ones but they can.
They have to unlearn centuries of training but when you allow yourself to communicate with your disembodied loved ones you might experience tremendous relief.
You will experience a kind of freedom you have never known. Suddenly you can finish saying the things you meant to say but didn’t have time or opportunity or courage for. You will be able to know your grandmother as she wanted you to know her and not as the frail old lady who couldn’t remember your name.
You can forgive and be forgiven. You can understand and be understood. Once you get past the artificial constructs of heaven and hell, a whole new understanding of reality will open up for you.
In Donya's Words:
This is Donya again. I learned a lot about communicating with dead people from Julia Assante’s book, The Last Frontier. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about how to be in touch with the people who have left this physical life.
What do you think Ben, have we said enough?
I think so. Let’s just remind all the phyzzies* to visit our website at www.thezenofben.com. They can ask us questions and we will tell them what it’s like on the other side.
*Ben calls physical people “phyzzies.”
