Foreword
A
s a researcher of near-death experiences (NDEs), I never wanted to have
that much to do with mediums, particularly during the early stages of my
career. My work with near-death experiences and my interest in UFO
experiences was outré enough for an academic like me. Besides, I was never
interested in trying to prove life after death, anyway, or even make a good case
for survival of consciousness after physical death. I was always more interested
in showing what we could learn from near-death experiences and letting my
students and readers draw whatever conclusions they liked. For an academic to
get too close to mediums and talk about the afterlife was to court banishment
from the academy—it was stuff for the tabloids, not for the halls of ivy.
However, during my years of researching altered states of consciousness and
NDEs, I learned a lot about mediums. I have no doubt that some of them can
indeed transmit messages from the dead and know things about the people they
are reading for that would be impossible to know by normal means. And
naturally, I had read about many of the celebrated mediums of the past—
Leonora Piper, Gladys Osborne Leonard, and many others. Yet I never sought
out a reading for myself until a couple of years ago, when something very
peculiar happened to me that, in the end, I could not ignore. Ultimately, it proved
to have something to do with my father.
When I was very young, I was separated from my father when he went off to
war during the early 1940s. Although he survived the war, for various reasons he
never returned home, and then he died young, at forty-one, while working as an
artist in New York. As I grew to manhood, I started thinking a lot about my
father and began to sense his presence in my life as a kind of guiding influence.
As a scientist, my initial reaction was to question this sensation, but on some
level I felt the connection was real, so I decided to write a memoir about my
father and his putative effect on my life after his death; I called it My Father,
Once Removed.
Then, two years ago, I started to hear from a number of my friends—all of
them independently of one another and all of them connected in some way with
NDE studies—who had recently had some kind of fantastic reading from a
medium (never the same medium, mind you) and who were asking me if I ever
had considered having a reading myself. Most of them exhorted me to. Of course
I demurred, declined, and generally deflected the conversation to other topics—
except it kept happening!
After the fourth such occurrence, I finally succumbed and arranged for a
reading with one of the mediums who had been urged upon me by one of these
friends. Afterward I wrote an article about my reading entitled, somewhat
humorously, “Medium Hot,” which I eventually inserted as the last chapter into
a revised and expanded version of my memoir about my father.
I will spare you the details, but the reading I received strongly and
independently corroborated virtually everything I had learned or speculated
about my father’s life, which the medium could not have known by normal
means. And not only that, the medium stressed my father’s feelings of deep love
for me, which I had previously learned from his half sister, as well as his
posthumous role in my life, which I had long sensed. Moreover, the medium was
accurately able to tell me some extremely obscure facts about my family life that
really blew me away. It’s one thing to read about such things in books; it’s quite
another when it happens to you!
In any case, it became apparent to me that science and mediumship are not
mutually exclusive, especially when the medium focuses on evidence that can be
objectively verified. This is why I have found what Mark Anthony has observed
about the Other Side to be very instructive. His observations are based on a
logical, scientific approach, rooted in evidence and not on suppositions or
jumping to conclusions. This, indeed, is one of the facets of Evidence of Eternity
that I find impressive. Mark takes great care to demonstrate why it is important
not to bring one’s expectations of negativity or fear into the explorations of
spirits or normally invisible entities. Of course, the unknown is often frightening,
just as the night is, but his accounts of contact with spirits are very telling in this
respect, as well as fascinating in their own right.
Mark approaches spirit communication with integrity and professionalism.
Despite his rigorous approach to his work, because he gives public
demonstrations of communication with spirits, a lawyer who speaks with the
dead is certainly not immune from ridicule. However, based on his sense of
humor, the integrity with which he approaches his spiritual work, and, most
importantly, his faith in God, it seems he often has the last laugh! For my part,
although I have sometimes had rewarding and stimulating encounters with true
skeptics, I find debunkers masquerading as skeptics to be tedious since they have
imprisoned themselves within the walls of their own ideology, so I tend to give
such people a wide berth.
There are many points of resonance and consistency between Mark’s work and
the research on NDEs. The fascinating aspect of Evidence of Eternity is that
messages from the Other Side take up the story after the NDE trail goes cold, but
the two fit together like the proverbial hand and glove. Perhaps even more
significant is that the spiritual implications both for living in this world (in terms
of the values by which one should live) and for the existence of an afterlife
coincide with accounts of NDE research.
The big questions, of course, are what happens after death, and what is the
Other Side like? Many who study life after death, including Mark, theorize that
the Other Side has different levels, if one might put it that way, and that people
are naturally attracted to the levels that are appropriate to them. There appears to
be a consensus that there is no such thing as an archetypal hell, which is
something that people who have a near-death experience would agree with. Still
another point Mark’s observations have in common with NDE research has to do
with reincarnation. In my research (and in some other work on NDEs), I found
