Loss As A Catalyst For Spiritual Awakening - a podcast by Bob Olson

MARK IRELAND:"In this new Afterlife TV Conversation, I talk with Mark Ireland, author of Soul Shift: Where The Dead Go. Mark and I discuss how loss and grief can be a catalyst for spiritual growth and awakening. Mark lost his son, Brandon, when Brandon was 18 years old, and subsequently went on a spiritual quest for answers about life after death. What makes Mark's story fascinating is his experiences with mediums, including the famed Allison Dubois, along with his and his wife's after-death communications with Brandon. Mark and I talk about his experiences, his father who was a famous psychic medium, and how he allowed this tragic loss in his life to serve as a starting point for new experiences, new growth and new purpose in his life."~ Bob Olson, Afterlife TV


Mark Ireland, author of Soul Shift: Where The Dead Go, explainshow the tragic loss of his youngest son led to a spiritual awakening. 
Despite being the son of renowned “Psychic to the Stars,”Dr. Richard Ireland, Mark Ireland’s life took a more conventional path until the unexpected death of his son Brandon plunged him into the world of mediums and psychics. Soul Shift: Finding Where the Dead Go by Mark Ireland is an intimate, personal account of a father’s unbearable loss, and his journey towards a better understanding of death and an acceptance of his son’s fate.While Ireland loved his father, he chose to pursue a career as an advertising executive--shelving spiritualism in favor of a pragmatic approach to life.On the day of his son’s death, Ireland was disturbed by an ominous premonition regarding his son. With his worst fears later confirmed, Mark reentered his father's world, intent on connecting with the realms of spirit, and consulted a number of well-known psychics including Allison Dubois, the subject of NBC's hit show Medium. Proceeding with modest expectations, he was struck by the remarkably accurate information provided in these readings. Soul Shift is an amazing story of psychic communication, which will bring comfort to the bereaved and cause even the most skeptical unbelievers to broaden their views. The author's bold exploration of paranormal phenomena and evidence of life after death, and his moving attempts to contact the dead, will touch many readers, and change their perspectives on death forever.
