Communicating with the dead is easier now than it ever was, and in fact your beloved may be trying to communicate with you right now! In the 21st century, you have many ways to connect with the dead, including some that are new and evolving. The Fun of Staying in Touch is an exciting account of the wonderful and sometimes amazing ways in which the dead now let us know that they are happy and waiting for us in a glorious reality where love never ends. This book is meant to be an overview for those with little knowledge in this field. Rather than footnotes, it includes a brief study guide and also a comprehensive list of resources that you might use to duplicate my research. And if you are curious about the place from which the dead are communicating with us, you might read The Fun of Dying - Find Out What Really Happens Next for a similar overview of the death process and the glorious realities that we enter at death. "The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero."  - Ilya Prigogine, Physicist and Chemist, winner of the 1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry   "In considering the value of evidence for supernormal phenomena the importance of the cumulative character of the evidence must be taken into account. It is the undersigned coincidence of witnesses who have had no communication with each other that constitutes its value taken as a whole, while a single case may be doubtful or disproved, just as a single stick may be broken, but a faggot may defy all our attempts at breaking a bundle of sticks."  -Sir William Barrett in Deathbed Visions(1926)   "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."  - Jesus (MT 7:7-8)   "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."   -Mahatma Gandhi   This is an exciting time to be alive! After thousands of years during which humankind has been struggling to try to make sense of things, the truth about what we are, what reality is, and what actually is going on apparently is now being revealed. And it is going to change everything!   We now know that you are an eternal being. You never began, you never will end. The material reality in which you think you live is just a small part of a greater reality that is even now coming into view. And it is all good! We now know that you and everyone you love are together forever and safe in everlasting arms.   But for many people, even that is not the best news. No, the very best news of all is the fact that we are entering an age in which communication between the living and the dead will become even easier.     The dead have always been much more aware of us than we are of them. They have been trying to for millennia to get our attention, if only to assure us that those we love have survived their deaths. There are reasons why the dead have so much difficulty making their presence known, some of which have to do with the nature of reality itself and some of which have to do with human nature. When the leaders of mainstream science and mainstream Christianity have spent the past two thousand years battling over which of them possesses the truth, they both have naturally been unwilling to consider the possibility that neither of them has it right and they have both missed the big picture. Of course, advocates for mainstream Christianity and mainstream science have substantial interests to protect, so as information becomes even more widely available, their impulse will be to fight its dissemination.                    We are blessed to live in an age in which old beliefs are reaching what seems to be their natural dead ends. And as the old theistic and atheistic belief systems lose their strangleholds on our flow of information, more and more people are venturing into the vast and fertile valley of afterlife evidence that has accumulated between mainstream Christianity and mainstream science over the past two centuries. Working independently, these pioneering researchers are assembling an understanding of reality that is consistent with both quantum physics and the teachings of Jesus. How amazing is that? As you will see, the truth about reality is beyond-belief wonderful! And it is about to become common knowledge. We do indeed live in exciting times.                   It may surprise you to learn that we have been receiving abundant, consistent, and independently verified communications from the dead for nearly two hundred years. Even one such proven communication from someone who is documented to be dead should have settled the question of whether or not our minds survive our deaths, and by now we have many hundreds. It is no longer possible for an open-minded person who examines the best evidence to
