Tom Butler, Exploring Afterlife Communication and connections between the Paranormal and Ufology

“I am Ubik. Before the universe was, I am. I made the suns. I made the worlds. I created the lives and the places they inhabit; I move them here, I put them there. They go as I say, then do as I tell them. I am the word and my name is never spoken, the name which no one knows. I am called Ubik, but that is not my name. I am. I shall always be.” - Philip K. Dick, Ubik

When I told the spirit guides, "I don't want to see dead people," I heard chuckles. And then they said, reassuringly, "They are not dead, they're energy."

Fast forward. When my friend died, she appeared as a pixelated blob while I was in the middle of a traffic report and couldn't afford to focus on the image. [Description = energy.] I asked her if she had any advice. She said, "Don't rush," and I understood: it's over soon enough. This is a friend who was frequently suicidal. At the end - she changed her mind but her road was already paved. - wendy

NOTE - FloatingKC Holiday special. Effective for deep relaxation, stress, pain relief, sports enhancement, and PTSD therapy. I meditate when I float. After 3 years of float sessions, it took 3 or 4 sessions to fully acclimate. Payoff: fantastic visions, creative inspiration and stress relief. Confession: When I fell asleep for most of one session, I felt like it missed it!

Floating KC offers an excellent pre-float massage chair treatment. [Can also be scheduled as a separate session.] First time? Give yourself at least a couple of sessions to get comfortable with the new sensations and the environment. Typical session is 1 hour but longer sessions are available.

Regarding whiplash pain relief. [Car accident. Distracted person behind us saw the light turn green and tried to go through the three cars in front of her. We were the car that stopped her.] Having been through a similar event years earlier, I set an appointment within 48 hours - put myself in a state of deep relaxation during the float - and kicked the headache, neck and shoulder pain.

Highlighting benefits, this article also gives specific mention to float therapy as helpful in providing relief for whiplash pain. Healthline.com  Interested? Book your session at Floating KC

Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Tom Butler - Evidence of Afterlife ATransC

Evidence of the Afterlife. ATransC was founded in 1982 by Sarah Estep. Tom Butler and his wife Lisa are Directors of the Association TransCommunication.

One of the most compelling EVP examples [and my favorite] is Cathy (deceased), who reprimands her dog for bad behavior. That story is referenced in the book, "I'm Still Here" - by Martha Copeland. Cathy is her daughter.

We talked about the new study underway. Tom is inviting submissions to help establish whether there is an ET/Alien connection. Tom recently joined MUFON to learn what might be possible when linking paranormal and UFO research.

The Extraterrestrial Visual Instrumental TransCommunication Study (ET Visual ITC Study link) is designed to determine if it is reasonable to say that some visual ITC examples are representative of life forms that have evolved on a different planet. That study is underway and seeking images.
*As of 12/15/2019.

Preview on Amazon.

Examples are provided along with a list of researchers who have submitted images. They also shared how they get their results: Link.

ATransC has published four books as AA-EVP Publishing.
There is No Death and There are No Dead is a guide for working with ITC.

Via ATransC website: The book has received considerable praise as an introductory book.

100% of the proceeds have gone to support operations, outreach and research conducted by the Association.

10/14/18 - Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Tom Butler, Researching Afterlife Evidence  through Electronic Voice Phenomena and Instrumental Transcommunication. (EVP and ITC)

Association TransCommunication was founded in 1982 by Sarah Estep to provide objective evidence that we survive death in an individual conscious state. The ATransC website is a tremendous resource for anyone remotely interested in the topic of life after death.

Quick clarification as noted from the website: “If what you know about EVP is based on movies like White Noise or from television, then everything you know about EVP is very wrong. Please read a few of the techniques articles on this website and leave your TV turned off.” - Tom Butler  (Tom and Lisa Butler consulted on that Film, Link.)

Tom and Lisa Butler are the current Directors of the Association Transcommunication, where they have logged results of past, present and ongoing research, including examples of their EVP recordings. Even more fascinating are the visual, ITC images. Link. Extra food for thought. There have been some instances of recordings that picked up thoughts/voices  from individuals who were very much alive. Link.

To help update the research history and track the science, Tom and Lisa wrote: There is No Death and There are No Dead. Background: The Butlers have been experimenting with EVP for over fourteen years. They have recently begun experimenting with Video ITC, which is a video loopback technique that produces images of apparent nonphysical origin. They describe this technique in the book and explain why they and other researchers believe the images are phenomenal.

Listen to some of Sarah Estep's EVP samples, including the Beethoven audio we referred to in the interview.

These first person accounts include examples of their EVP contact.

My Sedona EVP - I was working in Sedona in 1998 when I recorded tapping. On the daily drive to the Radio Station I would hear tapping in the car and wondered if I could get it on tape. The morning I rolled tape I was disappointed because I didn't hear a thing. I am even on the recording saying there was nothing to hear - and I am saying that as the tapping is happening - right there beside me. Only when I reviewed the tape did I realize what I had captured.

At the beginning of the interview, I talked about losing our 14-year-old cat, my beautiful Chloe.

I have experienced pet ghosts and have communicated with my pets as they transition. That, in no way, makes the experience less emotional. Grief is still part of it. With Chloe, meds for her heart issues appeared to help for a short while - until she stopped eating.

We then let her choose where she wanted to spend her days and what/if she wanted to eat and monitored her behavior. Very little intake, water and a few sips of milk.

During the last few weeks, I had focused on sending healing energy. I asked for guidance on anything else I could do. The response: "You can't heal death, Wendy." A blunt answer. I assumed it was to remind me exits are unavoidable.

Chloe Sunbathing.

Then she started to fail. In meeting with the Vet, I was asked to consider continuing extraordinary measures to extend her life, even though she was showing indications of having just suffered a stroke that impaired her front paw (preventing her from standing or walking), coldness in that limb, loss of bladder control and loss of appetite.

Force a cat to eat? Force life back into a pet who has a clock that is winding down? Submit her to extra tests, needles, separation from her familiar human and animal companions, indefinite hospitalization?

I realized I had been given that blunt response because it was the only one that registered when I repeated it to the Vet. Chloe was experiencing a transition not an illness. I didn't have to like it but I could prevent her from undergoing any needless suffering.

When she lost the use of her paw and her bladder had already failed, it became a quality of life issue. That quality was rapidly deteriorating. And yet, she was so calm and breathing more peacefully than she had at any time since she had been on the medications. She was exiting on her own schedule.

That is enough for now.

I have since seen her in fleeting glimpses around the house. She appeared in a dream, looking as she did when she left. I asked why she chose to show me that view. She said, "So you would know it was me."

Funny, I thought she might prefer the kitten stage. Apparently, that was my hang-up not hers.

This is the link to the show I did about her on Conscious Living on Empower Radio. I talk more about the metaphysics and psychic elements of my connection with my pets and other animals. Ode to Chloe.

Sensing Bigfoot and Afterlife impressions. In 'Calling Earth', the dead are seen and heard...

“All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.” - Walt Whitman, Goodreads


The most recent radio interview is in the Wendy's Coffeehouse podcast archives: Avrel Seale talks about his adventure searching for Sasquatch in Texas and, in writing the book, finally fessing up to being a believer.

• Today's google "Bigfoot" search flagged a very recent local sighting (2018). A Boy Scout leader reported finding tracks near their Lake Jacomo campsite. KMBCTV.
• Bigfoot Research Organization lists sightings. Share if you have one (past or present).
• Lenexa, KS. 2013 sighting on a local bike trail. Read that report at BFRO.
• Even more intriguing, 2012 sighting near Mayetta, KS. Driver reported hitting something she couldn't identify that damaged her bumper and discovered there were numerous other unusual and unreported encounters. BFRO.
• And then there's the Joplin Globe report from 2012 that suggests Bigfoot sightings are not uncommon in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

We continue the Sasquatch/Bigfoot conversation on the next show, 7/15, with Cheryl and Orville Murphy, owners of the Board Camp Crystal Mine in Mena, Arkansas. I visited in April and saw first-hand evidence of Sasquatch presence. Fascinating.

I appreciate the inclusion of the 'how to' segment (at 34:00) featured in this film. To really understand what ITC is and how it works and whether it is authentic, the best advice is to try it yourself. Instructions are given on how to do that, what equipment to use and what you might expect.

There is no outrageously expensive program to buy or complicated multi-course prerequisite, simply a desire to see what happens and the patience to experiment and see if there is a method or process that works for you.

*Included in the film is a segment about Robbert Van den Broeke. Nancy Talbott and I talked  about her Crop Circle research and she mentioned some of her experiences while visiting Robbert. Interview Link.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview Terry Albright, June 24 - 2018 the Dorothy Izatt project continued. Can we get a reboot? Filming UFOs, ETs, Orbs and Interdimensional beings.

Shifting gears from audio to video. I have interviewed and know of others who are good at capturing orbs and/or light anomalies, this is a fascinating case is one of the best documented and, in that regard, easily worthy of more exposure.

Image credit: Terry Albright. Light anomaly.

Using an ordinary 8 mm movie camera, Dorothy Izatt filmed hundreds of sequences of unexplained, yet authenticated, pictures of UFO's, ETs, and anomalies.

Wanting to reboot that project and several others, Terry shares similar images he has taken.

Terry says the book could be improved with color images and a refresh given the volumes of unpublished material not included in the book.

So I might need to explore this project more and see what would be required to move the reboot forward. Ideas? Contact/Follow: Terry on Twitter

Is there any significance to the colors of Orbs? Maybe. Some suggestions. ParanormalLovetoKnow

Contact with Beings of Light - Amazon

Amazon Book Review -
1/Could have been much more detailed - but a fair treatment of this rarely discussed and highly important UFO case. The movie should be watched prior to reading the book. I'm convinced that you, reader, would perhaps throw the baby out with the bath water if you read the book first.

Capturing the Light, DVD, Frank Longo

Amazon Film Reviews -
1/Magnificent and brave to share with everyone. I have my own reasons for believing her. What is important is that we work together. This is our planet and we need to care for it and one another. We are all beings of Light and at some point I feel that each person will awaken to that.

2/This absolutely jives with our personal experiences. Prf. Hynek was right when he advised her.....proceed with caution, interdimesional contacts occur with ALARMING frequency. But, remember Master Yoda, it's "only what you take with you."
