Meet Lynn K. Russell.

In her own words: "As a child, I was the only spiritual person in our family. My grandfather’s death, when I was around eight or nine, made me realize my mortality. My mother was an atheist, and when I asked her what happened when you die, she told me "nothing, you just disappear". I was a little kid; I didn’t want to vanish, and I became terrified of death. In my mid-teens, I began studying the various religions, philosophies, and spiritualities. I studied their histories and how they developed...

In my thirties, I developed an interest in cosmology and other sciences. Today I’m fascinated with the findings of quantum and astral physics, studies of the mind, and spiritual consciousness.

I became a family counselor for almost thirty years and had many years as a workshop facilitator, giving talks, and teaching spirituality. I’m also a Unitarian lay chaplain and officiate at weddings, funerals, and child naming ceremonies. My interest in spiritual learning has not faded, and I now have over 65 years of spiritual growth.

After retirement, I could finally get interested in what I wanted to do, be a writer. In one story, the hero astral projected. So, I went online to find out if it was even possible for my hero to do what I was proposing. That’s when I found OBEs (Out of Body Experiences) on a website called NDERF.org. Although they researched Near-Death Experiences, there was some information on OBEs as well. However, I got sidetracked when I became fascinated with the underlying profound spiritual knowledge within those reports. After joining the chat group, I became a bit of a regular, at least until Dr. Jeffery Long and his wife, Jody, asked for someone to volunteer to do research, and I put my hand up.

It indeed was a delight to have ended up researching 2500 death experiences. I was interested in the experiences these people were having. After a while, I was more interested in the spiritual learning within the accounts.
