Allow the feeling of love and warmth in the heart to expand and manifest as golden-white light expanding, expanding, until it is a bubble around each of us, and the bubbles touch and create a ring of golden-white light.

And in the telling, Hill elucidates much of what we know, or think we know, about life, death, consciousness, and the meaning of the universe.

If youre alive and that spirit has attached itself to you, well thats a whole other set of frustrations.

Wally Johnston, a behavioral psychologist, first started working with a medium in the 70s to help spirits move on to the next stage.

Some years after that, Ruth Johnston, an academic psychiatric nurse, whod become interested in new consciousness and alternative healing, began working with Wally to clear spirits who werent moving on.
