We publish dead people!
👻 Real-life Ghost Stories👻
As some of you know, a few of Jolibro’s authors are now collaborating with us from the Other Side. I’m serious! They do not let up; their books still matter to them, and so do you, their readers. And especially this week, when, as ancient tradition notes, the veil between dimensions has thinned.
Here are a few incidents we’ve experienced by working with authors who are no longer in their physical bodies but who are very much “alive” in consciousness.
**Norma Stevens, author of The Real McCoy: The Story of a Creek and Its Town. **
(✨A bright white, pinpoint light shines on my screen—see what I mean? More on those later.) ✨
When we were putting together her reprint edition, she was right there in my head, advising me on exactly what colors to use on the cover and so on.
Since then, she’s nudged me with strong pushes about where and when to bring up the book on various Facebook sites related to her historical subject matter. Last year, people who loved her book responded enthusiastically to this, and her book became one of our best sellers!
Yesterday, she pushed me toward a site proclaiming a Grand Re-Opening of Downtown Buchanan, Michigan, the town her book is about. Their celebration will take place on her birthday!! I didn’t know about it. She urged me to post a comment about that fact, and to tell everyone where they can find her regional history book (in the town, and at any bookseller online or off).
It was her passion that the town honor its history, restore and preserve the creek that runs through it, and now they’ve done exactly that. She hasn’t forgotten! And she is feeling very gratified that her constant rallying as a local newspaper columnist has come to fruition.
**🐾🌿Linda Jo Hunter, author of Lonesome for Wilderness: Tracking and Trailing in Forest, Desert, or Your Own Back Yard.**🐾🌳
Linda died unexpectedly, five months to the day after publication, on Nov. 4, so she’s been much on our minds for this first anniversary of her departure. We are doing a special promotion among librarians this month in her honor. But she’s never really left and often urges us to do things to keep her book on top.
Today, Halloween, her husband texted me that it’s as if she has returned to their house for a visit (after not sensing her presence for months). He said her presence is so vivid, he keeps expecting her to be standing there when he turns around.
Shortly after I heard this, it “came to me” (you know, one of those “sensings”) that it perfectly suits her sense of humor to play a “real ghost” on Halloween! I can hear her laughing. And that is not the first time she’s done something like this.
Shortly after her death, I swear she tossed an immovable object off the mantel near where I was sitting, and moments later, lifted a wooden spoon in the kitchen across the room and slammed it down in the sink. Another time, when I was too sad, I swear she tickled my nose with a feather until I told her to cut it out! Exactly the kind of thing she would do as my big sister!
And last night, the solar lights we transfer to the dining table every evening were inexplicably dark. I went to investigate and the switch that has been in the On position forever was inexplicably turn Off. I flipped it back on and the lights went on as usual.
I questioned Joseph. Nope, neither of us touched it. (It’s not the kind of joke he’d play; we both know too much about these things.) This has happened before with other decorations that light up.
Electrical phenomena seem to be a common ploy of real-life “ghosts”—friends and family from the other side who just want us to know they’re still near, still having fun, and still care!
Also phones that ring inexplicably, or TVs that suddenly black out briefly but nothing is broken. (That happened this morning). I suspect our friends on the other side get a little help from their guides and teachers who know their stuff, energetically in order to send these messages. But it’s just a theory.
I have too many of these experiences to relate here, but maybe you can share some of your own?
These individuals have their own new lives to attend to, prepping for the next go-round, but they still love us and don’t want us to be sad. And they do want their books, among all their life achievements, to reach as many readers as possible. Wouldn’t you?
Lastly, and perhaps most important: **🌟Ernest L. Norman, author of The Voice of Venus and so many others.**⚡️⭐️
He is the Wise One who created books that explain all these phenomena and so much more. He outlined a complete, energetic science of life for future generations to pursue, and contemporary science is quickly catching up to what, in the 1950s when he wrote his books, seemed preposterous.
We were privileged to reprint Collector’s Editions of two of Ernest Norman’s books so far, and hope to do more as they fall into the public domain.
He and his Cosmic Collaborators often appear to us as flashing lights, firefly size and larger, in various colors ranging from pure white, rainbow, cobalt, purple, gold, and so on. I’ve written about them elsewhere (even in my sci fi thriller, Perception), and while alive, he explained them in his writings as a bit of hope and encouragement sent from the energy centers of the Higher Beings to help their proteges carry on.
If you are a spiritual truth-seeker, you’ve probably seen them.
I consider Ernest Norman and his wife, Ruth E. Norman, who was my spiritual mentor while still alive, to be Jolibro Publishing’s “Board of Directors.” Without their constant and current advice and counsel, we could not manage to achieve much, and they never fail to steer and guide.
🎃Happy Halloween and Dia de los Mu***os to you! 🎃💀
As the veil thins, enjoy your contact and your contemplations of all the implications of life and death. Although as Ruth Norman often repeated, “There is no death.” Only life in all its infinite levels and developments!
✨✨✨✨
