Book Description

Publication Date: August 15, 2003

Anyone interested in communication with a departed loved one or learning more about the "Other Side" will want to read this book Many may be shocked to learn that the so called dead have been communicating across the veil through electronic devices since the early 1900s. Much more than anecdotal evidence exists that we survive physical death and that our loved ones on the "Other Side" continue to interact with us. Indeed, evidence collected from Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and Video Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC) ...

About the Author

Tom and Lisa Butler are Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and Instrumental TransCommunications (ITC) researchers in the United States. They are the Directors of the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP), which includes members from around the world. The nonprofit Association is dedicated to the study of EVP and ITC and to helping people learn how to collect examples of these phenomena for themselves. The focus of the AA-EVP is to provide objective evidence that we survive death in an individual conscious state.Tom and Lisa share EVP and ITC history, stories and examples in their new book about the evidence for personal survival through EVP and ITC. They also provide an overview of the latest knowledge in this field and describe techniques for using these phenomena to establish communication with the other side.

EVP are unexpected voices found in audio recording media. Extensive analysis by both trained scientists and amateur experimenters around the world has shown that orthodox theories of science do not explain the existence of EVP. The working hypothesis is that EVP are initiated by discarnate entities. As such, EVP is believed to be one of the best sources of evidence that there is an extended, nonphysical aspect of reality and that we survive in that extended reality after physical death. EVP is increasingly being used in hauntings investigations and can provide valuable cross-correspondence when used with clairvoyants, photography and instrumentation. ITC is a newer term that includes EVP and other forms of technology augmented spirit communications, such as Video ITC and two-way, real-time communications.

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.

This review is from: There Is No Death and There Are No Dead (Paperback)

This is the first book I've read on the topic of EVP, and I was absolutely blown away!

Although I've been an avid reader of all things in the "metaphysical" realm, I had actually never heard of the use of technology to communicate with the spirit realm - until I read this book.

One day as I happened to be flipping through the channels, I caught a segment of a talk show where Tom Butler was discussing this techniqe and stated that he had just written a book on it. I immediately went to Amazon.com and ordered it. At first I thought that the book was a bit expensive - but after reading it, I must say that the information included is truely invaluable!

The authors not only give examples of EVP, but they also provide detailed information to help other's get results via this method (as well as methods using a video camera & TV).

This is an excellent read for anyone with an interest in the "paranormal" - an open mind is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational Gem, September 19, 2003

This review is from: There Is No Death and There Are No Dead (Paperback)

This book is a gem! It is fabulous. It is simply amazing - and it is inspirational! Why? Because communicating with those who crossed over is the greatest discovery in human history!
With absolute certainty the most important question in this world is whether or not we survive physical death. The consequences are enormous. There is nothing as important, nothing as critical and nothing as urgent in the world than knowing that we continue to live in the afterlife.

Tom and Lisa Butler's book is revolutionary in that in a materialist world of to-day, there is an urgent need to remove the fear of death, to satisfy the curious and the skeptic that the afterlife is no longer a matter of `belief' but now is a matter of empirical - objective - evidence.

People want proof about the afterlife. People want guarantees - people want highly credible material to reveal to them how to be given absolute guarantees and guidelines that the afterlife is a certainty and that there is absolutely nothing to fear about physical death. Spirit voices on tape - the Electronic Voice Phenomenon and electronic communication from the otherside (Instrumental Transcommunication)- have now been universally accepted and have given us clear evidence that our loves ones who crossed over still care for us.

I very strongly recommend this book. I am so thankful for Tom and Lisa Butler for making a most wonderful contribution to mankind! I sincerely believe the book should be compulsory reading at school and by everyone who wants to be given assurances that we survive physical death and that we will inevitably meet our loved ones who crossed over - love being the most powerful force in the universe!

This review is from: There Is No Death and There Are No Dead (Paperback)

The media decided that man's landing on the moon was the top story of the last Century. But is that more significant than communicating electronically with other realms of existence, which wasn't even on the list of events considered?

"Come again," you say. Yes, there is strong evidence that we are in touch with the "Other Side" (the world of the so-called "dead") as well as with other realms of existence. This evidence exceeds the "boggle threshold" of most people, including orthodox science and the mainstream media, but the evidence is there nonetheless for anyone wanting to open his or her mind to it.

You might start with this excellent book, which summarizes much of the work done by credible scientists over the past 50 years in the areas of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC) and tells about ongoing research in the field. We're talking about tape-recorded voices of entities from other realms of existence, phone messages from them, and television images, to name just some of the phenomena. "From EVP messages that we received, we quickly satisfied ourselves that the voices were not stray sounds in the environment or stray radio broadcasts," authors Tom and Lisa Butler write. "In fact, with deceased relatives giving us messages on our audio tape, we came to realize that EVP was the most important proof of survival that we had ever experienced."

When the Butlers first heard about EVP, they considered it "outlandish, even improbable," just as most people who are not familiar with it are likely to conclude. But after you have finished this book, you should, unless you are completely closed-minded and stuck in your worldview, realize that there is really something to it.

The Butlers are now engaged in extensive research in the field and detail much of their findings. If your mind is easily boggled, it's probably not for you. If you want to expand your mind, this book is one means of doing so. Landing on the moon is nothing compared with the implications of the evidence in this book.
