Mark Anthony, the “psychic lawyer”, is a well-known, fourth-generation psychic medium, attorney, paranormal expert and bestselling author. He makes a strong closing argument in his book Evidence of Eternity: Communicating with Spirits for Proof of the Afterlife, for quantum science that makes it possible for deceased loved ones to communicate from the afterlife.

On February 10 at 7 p.m., Anthony will connect random audience members with loved ones in spirit at Unity of Naples.

What science is there for explaining after-life communication?

According to Dr. Jeffrey Long, founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation, the largest database of near-death experiences in the world, the conclusions of near-death experience studies is that consciousness survives physical death. What we are continues to exist independently of our physical body.

Today’s studies regarding the survival of consciousness are a scientific effort to answer the question of what happens when we die. Unfortunately, our ability to perceive is extremely limited while we are in physical form and we are trying to understand the infinite from a finite perspective.

I believe that light represents a human’s perception of what can only be described as the spiritual energy of God and that we are all cells in the infinite body of God. Matter is energy. Energy is light. We are energetic light beings temporarily housed in bodies. In the form we are in, it is not possible to fully comprehend what the other side is truly like. We aren’t equipped to receive information in the form of energy from beings that are completely energy. It’s like an old dial-up modem on a computer that is trying to receive energetic transmissions that are faster than a higher-speed Internet.

The terms psychic and medium are often used interchangeably. Is there a difference?

Both of these abilities refer to a person who is sensitive to frequencies. Psychics are sensitive to the energy of a person, place or thing. They align their brainwave frequency with energy that transcends our concept of time.

Mediums perceive the energy of spirits. It appears that all mediums have psychic ability, but not all psychics have mediumistic ability. It doesn’t mean one gift is superior to the other—just different. While psychics and mediums are sensitive to frequency, they simply tune into different stations. This can be compared to the difference between AM radio and FM radio.

How do you prepare yourself to be clear vessel for inter-dimensional communication?

I don’t drink, smoke or do recreational drugs. I try to exercise at least four days a week eat a healthy diet, pray and meditate daily. I do have a weakness for dark chocolate. I believe that sugar and high-fructose corn syrup dull and lower brainwave frequency, which is something I can’t afford because being a medium demands a lot of energy, especially during gallery readings.

What do situational awareness and spiritual situational awareness mean?

The messages transmitted by God and from the Other Side are all around us—if we are listening. Spiritual situational awareness is the perception of what is happening around you spiritually. It involves being open to contact from spirits. This type of awareness is highly beneficial because it can alter the course of your life. The challenge is recognizing the contact, accepting its reality and trusting its guidance.

Fortunately, my parents taught me about spiritual situational awareness. Both of them had psychic abilities and could perceive spirits. From a young age, I was trained to pay attention to the seen and unseen worlds around me.

Situational awareness is the perception of what is happening around you in all directions at any given moment. This perception provides guidance for what course of action to take next. This is a skill that is highly valued by police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and members of the military because it provides the ability to make snap judgments which save lives.
