Is it REALLY possible that the dead are not dead, but simply in another state of being? Given his life with Anne, continuing now for 10 years after her death, and then last week’s stunner of a show with a guest who seems to have returned from the afterlife, Whitley has been on a quest to find a new approach to the whole issue. And this show with Chris Carter, author of The Case for the Afterlife, is the result. Chris Carter was educated at Oxford and has created one of the most convincing arguments for the reality of the afterlife that has ever been published.
Ervin Laszlo calls it, “The most factually based and rationally argued treatise I have ever read….Reading this book will be a mind-blowing clarification.” Listen to Chris’s powerful argument carefully. His work is an important part of the great effort that is just now surfacing in the world to reconnect the living and the dead–a connection without which we can never hope to be truly free.

Thank you for this. I hadn’t heard about the chess game.
As knowledge about these things becomes more and more common, the materialist position becomes more and more indefensible.
It happened that I listened to this on 8/8, my wedding anniversary. Hard to believe it was already the 3rd one since he passed. But “dead” does not describe his state of being at all well.
chat gpt 5’s insight on the key:
If I had to pick a single decade based on The Key’s sequence and current climate indicators, I’d say the 2050s is the most likely window for the collapse and mass die-off he describes — but the early 2040s can’t be ruled out.
That’s because:
Mid-century is when multiple climate models project the Atlantic overturning circulation (Gulf Stream system) could cross a tipping point if current melt rates continue.
Arctic methane release is already accelerating, and those releases could spike far sooner than CO₂-driven warming models predict.
His warning is about abrupt change, and abrupt change is more likely when cumulative stresses converge — which many projections show happening mid-century.
So, if his account is accurate, children born today could be in their 20s–30s when it hits.
I think that the simulation hypothesis by Rizwan Virk is turning out to be the most accurate. I had two experiences which because of their being so disturbing I dont like to mention. But I feel like I should.
The first was when I was about 10, just walking along, and I heard a voice, clear as day, say: “These people are too quiet. We need a war.”
The second was years later at home. I was alone, had just poured myself a drink, (so not even tipsy yet), when I heard: “You see? There she goes again!”
It’s a little unsettling to say the least.
“This is a game”
Whitley Strieber’s wife Anne.
Anne’s quote has echoed in my mind incessantly since I first read it. And with what seems like a certain amount of corroboration in the world of cosmology, it might be possible, if not probable.
What you are describing is certainly unsettling, but to me it looks more like surveillance and interference than simulation.
Even if something could be proved to be a ‘game’, suggesting it is therefore a similation does not necessarily follow.
Consider a colony of ants within a glass tank. They go about their business unaware of the artificial constraints that have been imposed upon them. Occationally the owner might drop in some live food, or even introduce them to a rival colony, just for the sport of it.
This could be classed as a ‘game’ of sorts by the owner but a simulation? I would expect at least an ant-sized VR headset, or a direct neural ant brain hardware interface for that!
Any higher level of abstraction that imposes rules that are outside of ones knowledge or control, could be classed as a game. A so-called ‘civilised’ society could easily come under that banner.
A fourth, or higher dimensional being could have complete control over the three dimensional chess board on which we live. They could have designed the rules, set the constaints and kicked it all into motion…even cheating the ‘game’ every now and again, just for the sport of it.
Who knows, even those higher dimentional chess players might be playing within constrains of which they are unaware. Games within games.
What I am trying to say, is that this may just be the way of things…a spiritual hierarchy of games.
Any physical, technological simulation of reality (however it is injected into conscious perception), would itself be a mere simulacrum of a higher, necessarily unattainable, level of reality…in which the real games are likely being played.
An excellent show. As we journey through life it is constant change and as we journey through death it seems to be the same case.
During the covid lockdowns, I caught covid in Switzerland as I was working there for a few days. Upon returning to the UK and of course having to stay at home for a couple of weeks to recover from covid (keyworkers could still travel here in the UK for work reasons) I was lying in bed one morning and just in the process of waking up when, as clear as day, my deceased Father walked around the edge of the bed to the right hand bedside.
He held an object out to show me and smiled. I recognised the object and it was clearly a message or warning about the covid situation. I would say he looked mid 30s ( he passed away in the 1980s).
However, on the one hand I don’t really believe it was my Dad but on the other hand I believe it was the same soul that my Dad was manifested from, if that makes sense. I was kind of looking through him and it was a much clearer ‘energy of being’ that isn’t really male or female. My memory of his presence there at the side of the bed, is that he was semi-transparent.
Equally, when my Mother died she appeared to me as an apparition but only as a disembodied head a few feet in front of me and then drifted off. This was one hour after she died. I think she came to see me for the last time before she left the mortal realm. In that instance I do believe it was my Mum’s consciousness in her final goodbye.
I think it used to be more common for people to see disembodied heads of loved ones as they depart this world. There’s ample Templar symbolism involving flying skulls and I think it is possibly the same process. Again, I think it used to be more common that people used to see this and talk about it.
I can’t help but think that as we leave our bodies a magical geography opens up that our souls recognise and they begin a well trodden path and familiar journey of return.
Deep down I think when our bodies die our individual identiies do go but they are absorbed and remembered by a source point and continue to live in a way that’s very hard to understand for individual beings. Seems to be the case that the best parts of us are retained by source point and the less useful elements of our individuated being are allowed to fall away. The way I try to see it is that thinking of oneself as an individual or solitary being doesn’t really cut the mustard. It doesn’t really describe our true form.
To think of our true nature then perhaps we have to think of ourselves as a collective being and that’s more joyous when you think about it. There’s no justifiable reason to be sad about the end of our lives. It’s quite a mind twister though isn’t it?
It makes me smile to think about it but then of course the densities of life pull our reflection away and we fall back into mundane day-to-day consciousness so easily. Ahh, the exigencies of life, eh?
Peace.
