I'm not saying it doesn't happen.

As a matter of fact, let me be clear about my position, because you probably think that I am an ultimate skeptic and a pessimist when it comes to any of this stuff.

You'd be wrong.

I actually do believe that energy cannot be killed, only dissipated and moved to somewhere else.

I think that somewhere else may be in alternative universes.

Maybe when we leave this form, we can move in and out of realities.

Maybe it's even possible, like in one of my favorite movies, Interstellar, that we can break the bonds of time and space, give people messages by throwing books at them.

Don't go!

But unfortunately, there is very little scientific research to support any of this.

And without it, I'll stick with what I know.

Here's what I know.

If in fact there is a person on this earth who can communicate with our dearly departed, they are either the best kept secret ever for really good reasons, or they would be the most famous person on earth for really good reasons.

Teresa Caputo, Sylvia Brown, Miss Cleo, John Edwards, and all the rest.

never gave themselves to the science of this that's okay it's their lives they can choose what they want to do if you want to use the greatest gift ever given to a human being to visit every shitty daytime talk show ever and try and convince a bunch of people you can talk to their dead grandma cool

If you want to use this immense present the universe has given you to fill indoor hockey arenas with believers and sell them books and online courses to make yourself independently wealthy, I'm a capitalist, I can go along with that.

But I just wish if there was an ounce of truth to any of this, that it would be taken with a degree of seriousness, it seems to warrant.

Why not take Teresa Caputo and truly study the phenomenon?

So then we, as mere mortals, can get the benefit of the research.

Maybe there's something that Teresa is doing that we can all do ourselves to tap into this line of communication.

Maybe we just need to know a little bit more about it.
