I'm using the afterlife as a backdrop against which to explore the joys and complexities of being human - it turns out that it's a great lens with which to understand what matters to us.

All my life, I never realized you could have a conversation with a ghost.

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.

Our communications reflect in our countenance. Therefore, we must be careful not only what we communicate, but also how we do so. Souls can be strengthened or shattered by the message and the manner in which we communicate.

I find it difficult to imagine an afterlife, such as Christians, or at any rate many religious people, conceive it, believing that the conversations with relatives and friends interrupted here on earth will be continued in the hereafter.

Dad passed away in 2000, but he visits me all the time. He comes to me in different ways. So I have that connection with him, and that comforts me, to know that in time I can come back and still have that with my kids. It's not unfamiliar to me, that connection with the afterlife. I know it's real; I experience it all the time.

Each person's life is lived as a series of conversations.

It is not what we learn in conversation that enriches us. It is the elation that comes of swift contact with tingling currents of thought.

The idea of an afterlife where you can be reunited with loved ones can be immensely consoling - though not to me.

I thought there was something intrinsically fascinating about people who communicate for a living and are incapable of communicating in their personal lives.
