A police officer attended a group reading of a famous medium (Caputo, Season 11, Episode 3). Years earlier this officer had responded to a call concerning a car accident. It wasn’t good. He was doing cardiac compression on a young male victim who died when they were putting him in the ambulance. The officer had never met the young man, but inexplicably grieved the loss and obsessed about his death daily for years, wondering if he had done the right thing and if the young man’s soul was okay. What is the backstory of this officer’s inexplicable grief for a young man he never met?

Here, in this account of tragedy, is yet another line of evidence for the existence of the hereafter, and that people who die leave the body in spirit form, and then experience a variety of potential consequences. Unfortunately, fully a third of people who pass away remain as an earthbound spirit and do not make it back to the heavenly realm. The odds of this are greater for those who have a sudden unexpected death, as in a car accident. When you suddenly are cast into darkness, no longer have a working body to mount thoughts with in the way you are accustomed, have no sensory input through sight, hearing, touch, showing there is anything in existence but the semblance of thoughts within your mind, you may not even realize you are dead, and there may well be distress experienced from being cast into the darkness without a clear appreciation or understanding of what is happening and what to do about it. People only have their intuitive non-local consciousness to work with when they die, but they have not been used to exercising that aspect of their consciousness; it will be new for them and will be weak and inexperienced as a tool, but still there will a yearning for something familiar, some connection to other humans. This is what happened at this death scene where this police officer was physically in contact with the young man during his passing, trying to revive him, and was feeling genuine concern and focused intently on him. When the moment of death arrived, the spirit of the young man, who passed on and left the body, in yearning for some link to the familiar, was able to sense the energy of that police officer close by and set the intention to reach out for it, and what ended up was that spirit of the accident victim attached to the energy field of the policeman, who carried him home, and lived with that spirit inside him thereafter. It was that troubled young man's spirit, still lost, not fully appreciating where he was, and being sad and alone, being perceived by his host as inner discord and disquiet. So the policeman would keep thinking about that young man over and over and over because the young man was actually now inside him, energetically, and that kept the tragedy of that unfortunate and tragic death in the conscious awareness of the police officer, and his inexplicable grief was not just that he failed to revive him, but he was feeling the grief of that young spirit, being so lost and alone and going through a living death, and that kept it alive in the awareness of his would-be rescuer.
