Review

“The death of his youngest son, Brandon, launched Mark Ireland on a fascinating quest to discover if we survive the death of our bodies by communicating with ancestors, persons who have gone before. For more than a century, many types of scientific inquiries have focused on after-death communications, and Mark studied all of them. He possesses the driving curiosity, open mind, and critical scholarship of a true explorer … [and] his candid, engaging writing style invites the reader to join him on his pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the afterlife.”
—Donald E. Watson, MD, neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and author of Surviving Your Crises, Reviving Your Dreams

"Not only heart-rending, intelligent, and well-written, but also a wonderful inspiration to anyone who has lost someone dear to them."
—Tricia J Robertson; Hon Sec, former President, SSPR; DACE Tutor University of Glasgow; Hon Sec Prism

“One of my favorites among the author’s many insights is his discovery that ‘It was time to re-think what it meant to be psychic.… Everyone is psychic.’ In my own academic research, I explore the apparent rift in our society between science and spirit. Mark’s metaphor of two wolves rings true for me: ‘Ours is a world that two wolves try to devour—the first is the wolf of skeptical science and religious fundamentalism (they are the same one). The second is the wolf of our cosmic connection, synchronicity, astral realms, and manifestation by intention. The wolf that dominates our life is the wolf we feed. I needed to feed the right wolf. I needed to lay it on the line from here on in.’ I volunteer to help Mark feed the wolf of synchronicity and connection. After you journey with Mark in this adventure through death, I expect you will want to join Mark also.”
—Berney Williams, PhD, Dean of Graduate Studies, Energy Medicine University, and President of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine

"Mark Ireland is a moving writer who reaches out from the pages of his book and emotionally connects with his readers. He speaks not only from the perspective of a father who suffered the ultimate loss, but also as a man who inherited the ability to reconnect with those who've passed on. This book is a must read for anyone trying to comprehend life after death or wanting to learn how loss can create an even stronger bond between the living and those who live again."
—Allison DuBois; Subject of NBC’s Medium; Author of Don't Kiss Them Good-Bye, We Are Their Heaven, And Secrets of the Monarch

"As a survival of consciousness researcher and explorer, I found Mark Ireland’s book, Soul Shift, to be authentic, scientific in its approach, and very healing. I laughed, cried, and pondered the afterlife. Mark Ireland’s late father—the remarkable Dr. Richard Ireland, was a man of rare psychic and mediumistic talent. Richard Ireland participated in testing, counseled celebrities like Mae West, and Amanda Blake, and also prominent government leaders. This book is a must read."
—Maria Talcott, Founding Member of the John E. Mack Institute in conjunction with John Mack, MD, Cambridge MA

“Mark Ireland has done a superb job of bringing the unknown up from the depths of the Anima Mundi to the surface of human consciousness. This book impacted my soul, inspiring me to reach out to people once again. It also made me yearn for home.”
—Cullen Dorn, author of The Hierophant of 100th Street

Product Description

Businessman Mark Ireland’s father was Richard Ireland, a deeply spiritual minister and renowned psychic and medium who counted Mae West among his famous clients. While he loved his father, Mark followed a more conventional path in pursuit of mainstream success—until the wrenching death of his youngest son. This unexpected tragedy plunges Mark into the spiritual world of psychics and mediums in a frantic attempt to communicate with the dead. His defenses and pragmatic mindset begin to fade as he remembers premonitions on the day of his son’s death. He consults a number of well-known mediums and is struck by the remarkably accurate information their readings provide. Mark first meets with Allison Dubois, the subject of NBC’s hit show Medium, and later participates in a single-blind lab experiment with medium Laurie Campbell, filmed for a Discovery Channel feature. He then enters a new dimension of personal paranormal experience, as his own psychic awareness begins to unfold. This dramatic story of a father’s unbearable loss and his discovery of life after death offers hope to the bereaved and compelling evidence that death may not be the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars CONNECTING WITH THE "OTHER SIDE", August 27, 2008

By	Fred Hann (Madison, MS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The universe has unpleasant, shocking ways of fully awakening us to the stark importance of the mystery of being. In January 2004, Mark Ireland's life of worldly success was profoundly shaken by the untimely and tragic death of his youngest son. From this sudden loss, Mark and his family were sent spiraling from a safe, comfortable life style toward an existence orbiting ever closer to the core mystery of being. Soul Shift documents Mark's unique journey as he is thrust into a challenging, new phase of life. In squarely facing that challenge, he garners solid spiritual insights transcending the conventional explanations of secular materialism and mainstream religion. As he probes for evidence of his son's continued existence, he reconnects with a profoundly unique spiritual inheritance and discovers the depths of his compassion for those burdened by the loss of loved ones. His fascinating book has the potential of performing a "soul-shifting," transformation on readers everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Shift, August 2, 2008

By	Jerry Conser (texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Soul Shift represents a bridge between all of those people who want to believe in soul survival but have been "turned off" by the hype that normally accompanies such books on the subject. Not only does this book clearly make the case for life beyond the grave but it provides consensus type proof. The fact that the author plays devils advocate throughout gives this book and its contents the "feeling" of truth. I would recommend it to anyone who has lost a loved one and would like to know if there will ever be a reunion. This book makes it clear there will be, and they don't have to wait until they die.
