I KNOW I will be with my husband in physical form and that he will come for me when it's my time. He is my twin flame and our telepathic communication was and is still strong. He left in pure light and love and isn't coming back. Many of the world's described in Swedenborg and with the book ‘Proof of Heaven’ were identical to what many experienced when I was in Peru doing an 11-day ayahuasca retreat with my husband. Those who struggle with life here struggled with life there, parallel universes.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real I continue to journey with DMT and ayahuasca. My husband and I spent years de-calcifying our pineal glands, which helped both of us with his cancer. He was such a healthy man in his 50's. While I miss him so much in human form, I know it was his time and there must be something I am meant to do (most likely with him) until I pass over.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? Yes DMT journeys and ayahuasca

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? If someone has a dark journey, it is often because they have darkness in their hearts. The doctor who wrote ‘Proof of Heaven’ didn't realize that the hell state he first crossed into is for those who have darkness. He battled alcoholism; we cross to our comfort zone.
