Hi, I’m
Weston
After providing over 15,000 hours in session and speaking, I recognize that… “You’re much stronger and more empowered than you think you are…”
I Talk To Dead People.
I boarded a plane and as I sat down the woman next to me asked, “What Do You Do?” and I responded, “I Talk To Dead People!” As a spiritual medium, I’m asked a lot of questions about talking to the deceased. Find out how mediumship works what it’s like talking to the dead people.
Twenty-five years later, and I’m still having incredible conversations with those who have crossed over. What keeps me engaged? The wealth of wisdom they can share! Among the many questions that loved ones seek answers to, two stand out: “Why did this happen?” and “How did it all unfold?”
Tuning into the voices of the departed is not just a journey; it’s a fascinating exploration that uncovers profound lessons. Some spirits bring invaluable spiritual insights, while others may struggle to lift themselves to a place of clarity. The experience is as unique as the individuals involved, and the revelations can be both enlightening and transformative. Join me as we delve into the mysteries of the afterlife, and unlock the secrets that those beyond the veil are eager to share!

Transcription: I Talk To Dead People
[00:55] – The Identity Shift After Death
Weston Jolly:
When you’re dead, you face an immediate change of perspective, which is your identity.
A voice whispers in a tunnel:
Who do you think you are?
[01:23] – Reflecting on Your Existence
Weston Jolly:
Relax. I’m not talking about you, or maybe I am? But not in the way that you may be thinking about it, but you’ll have to decide that later.
[01:34] – The Breakfast Scenario
Weston Jolly:
Imagine you’re having breakfast with your best friend. You casually check your watch and realize you’re late. You interrupt:
Shoot, I’ve got to go!
You bolt out of the restaurant, happy to have spent time with your friend, but you check your watch again on your way to the car, but you’re 15 minutes late.
[01:59] – The Dilemma of Speed
Weston Jolly:
You do what most of us do…you have to drive fast! Pulling out of the parking lot, you hit the gas. Some part of you really thinks you can make up the time by driving faster, but you know it’s impossible. You consider your options:
* Let the other party know you’re running late,
* Drive at a normal speed and arrive when you can, or
* Drive faster.
[02:26] – The Distraction of a Phone Call
Weston Jolly:
Without thinking, you accelerate. Just as you enter the freeway, your cell phone rings. You glance over and see it’s the person you’re supposed to meet. You feel bad as you reach for the phone, which is sliding toward the passenger door.
[02:52] – A Fractured Moment in Time
Weston Jolly:
That’s it. That’s all you can remember.
Yet, strangely, you see perfectly below you. You wonder: Where is your cell phone?
[03:13] – What Just Happened?
Weston Jolly:
You don’t feel anything, but you ask yourself, What happened?
As you float about 20 feet above the scene, you realize your car was hit by a cement truck that was in your blind spot. The driver didn’t see you, and now he’s slowing down, startled by what just occurred.
[03:21] – A Bird’s-Eye View
Weston Jolly:
Your car went flying, rolling several times, now a wreck with wheels facing the sky. You see a small Hispanic man in a yellow baseball cap running to the guardrail, murmuring to himself, I hope they?re okay. He thinks, It’s way too far for me to climb down.
[04:34] – Horror Strikes
Weston Jolly:
Oh, God, I hope that they’re not dead.
At once, you feel the panic of the cement truck driver.
[04:45] – Seeking to Communicate
Weston Jolly:
You know it wasn’t his fault. You were driving too fast and reaching after your phone…it was your fault. You want to tell him, but you can’t. You hear other drivers thinking, They can’t be okay.
[05:21] – The Slowdown
Weston Jolly:
Another driver begins to brake hard, causing a massive traffic jam. You hear him say, They’re dead. The way that cement truck hit… no one could have survived that.
[05:41] – The Reality of the Situation
Weston Jolly:
Another vehicle near you has a driver commenting, I knew that guy was going to get hit. He was driving way too fast.
[05:56] – The Close-Up Reveal
Weston Jolly:
Your viewpoint shifts; you’re now closer to the destroyed car. Dust settles, and you can taste it. You instinctively try to remove the sand from your mouth, but there’s nothing there.
[06:24] – The Unmoving Body
Weston Jolly:
You look down at the twisted wreck…you see yourself . It’s not moving, and it seems it never will again. How can this be? You remember the taste of your breakfast just moments ago.
[07:02] – The Grasp of Reality
Weston Jolly:
Your perspective changes again; you peek through the passenger window of your overturned car. There’s your phone, ringing beneath the seat, and you see the caller’s name flashing. Suddenly, it hits you: you’ll never be able to answer that phone again.
[07:28] – The Unsettling Question
Weston Jolly:
A voice from above asks, Who do you think you are? Instinctively, you respond with your name. The voice repeats, Who do you think you are? You wonder if this is a dream, feeling lost in time as you replay the whole incident in your mind.
[08:08] – The Revelation
Weston Jolly:
Am I dead? You feel quiet. You don’t know what to say. What does that voice mean? Silence fills you as you process everything.
[08:27] – Talking to the Forgotten
Weston Jolly:
I talk to dead people.
When a person dies, especially suddenly, they often have no idea they’ve passed on. Today, I’ll share insights from my 25 years of communicating with the deceased, including an experience I’ve never shared before. So pay attention.
[08:52] – The Shift After Death
Weston Jolly:
When someone dies, there’s an immediate change of perspective. Your beliefs may not matter in that moment. Instead, there’s an intense identity shift. This brings us back to the question: Who do you think you are? Initially, your personality remains intact-the way you spoke, processed thoughts, and perceived reality is all still there, but everything is about to change.
[09:20] – Perspectives on Death
Weston Jolly:
This change can profoundly affect your viewpoint. I want to discuss three perspectives today:
1. What it’s like from the dead’s viewpoint.
2. The desire to communicate with someone who’s died.
3. The experience of interacting with someone on the ‘living’ side.
[09:43] – The Concept of Time
Weston Jolly:
There is absolutely no time with death. This is why it’s hard to associate time when connecting with someone who has passed away.
[09:56] – The Tunnel of Light
Weston Jolly:
Another immediate sensation upon dying is often described as entering a tunnel of light. I want to explain what this tunnel signifies, its purpose, and how one might transition out of it.
[10:09] – Entering the Tunnel
Weston Jolly:
When people die, they frequently describe entering a tunnel–like a passageway. At the end of the tunnel is an incredibly bright light, symbolizing the transition for someone who has just passed.
[10:34] – The Levels of Transition
Weston Jolly:
There are many different levels of transition within the light tunnel-nothing to be seen as bad. Because there isn’t the notion of time, when someone passes, it may seem they should be immediately available for conversation. This can be true, but sometimes it’s not. For instance, if someone just passed last week and isn’t available, it’s not because I can’t connect; they’re simply swamped, going through the tunnel of light.
[11:01] – What Happens in the Tunnel?
Weston Jolly:
I want to discuss what they’re doing in this tunnel. Some individuals die and return, experiencing what we call a near-death experience, which is something to appreciate.
[11:19] – The Certainty of Death
Weston Jolly:
There’s a saying that “Nothing is certain except for death and taxes.” While death is inevitable, it’s not always certain as people can die and come back. Free will extends on both sides of life. This concept remains relevant when connecting with those who have passed; free will is significant in the tunnel of light as we begin to process who we are. This leads us back to the question: Who do you think you are?
[12:04] – Who Greets the Deceased?
Weston Jolly:
Who greets the newly departed? This process can take place right in the tunnel of light. Some people may perceive the presence of angels or recently departed loved ones like parents or grandparents, even animals. This environment is meant to invite and comfort.
[12:28] – A Personal Experience
Weston Jolly:
Reflecting back on the tunnel of light, there was an experience very real to me, reminiscent of the portal into death. Though I didn’t die, I felt something like that sensation. When we pass through the tunnel, there’s a euphoria, beauty, calmness, and connectedness.
[13:00] – The Transformative Sunset
Weston Jolly:
Strangely, there was a sunset while I was driving that felt different-a sunset so incredible, I thought, Am I dying? This sunset was so inviting, loving, and transformative that it felt like a transition into that portal of light.
[13:32] – The Pathway of Light
Weston Jolly:
This sunset invited us to let go of our embodiment, which isn’t typically desired. We are often greeted by significant individuals or events that help us progress down the light path, leading to what we call a life review.
[14:05] – Understanding Life Review
Weston Jolly:
From various perspectives, there exists a notion of a judgment day, but I want you to understand that there is no Judgment Day. Instead, there is a life review, which is fundamentally different from judgment.
[14:40] – Unconditional Love vs. Judgment
Weston Jolly:
In unconditional love, there is zero judgment. During a life review, you connect with every person and every event from your life. It’s about understanding your experiences comprehensively, feeling and observing your interactions.
[15:14] – The Comprehensive Nature of Life Review
Weston Jolly:
For example, even if you glanced at someone on a school bus, you can explore their thoughts and feelings leading up to that moment. This aspect of the life review is extensive and thorough.
[15:43] – The Challenge of Self-Judgment
Weston Jolly:
While it’s possible to judge oneself during this process, it shouldn’t necessarily be a matter of judgment. The life review happens in the tunnel of light, allowing movement based on our free-will choices.
[15:59] – Coming to Terms with Sudden Death
Weston Jolly:
Individuals who experience sudden death often struggle to believe they are dead. This is why the question Who do you think you are? is critical. The perceived self, known as the egoic self, relies on identifiers like body and name. However, upon passing, we must confront the reality that this isn’t truly who we are.
[17:05] – A Personal Encounter with the Deceased
Weston Jolly:
Let me share a personal experience with my first encounter with a deceased individual. It was someone I had a deep connection with, but I didn’t realize I was speaking with him at the time.
[17:29] – A Best Friend’s Departure
Weston Jolly:
My best friend, who had congenital heart defects since birth, unfortunately passed away. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn’t attend his funeral. We were incredibly close, almost soul-connected.
[18:09] – Paying Respects
Weston Jolly:
One day, while driving in Scottsdale, I passed the mortuary where I knew he had been buried. It felt like the right time to pay my respects, so I stopped in, dressed in a nice shirt and tie, to find his burial plot. It was a scorching summer day, around 115 degrees, as I walked nearly an acre guided by a map given by the mortuary administrator.
[19:02] – An Unexpected Encounter
Weston Jolly:
Finally arriving at my friend’s burial site, I looked down at his name and suddenly heard a voice say, What the hell are you doing here?
[19:17] – A Surprising Message
Weston Jolly:
Not what I expected at all! He continued, Go to the car and I’ll talk to you there where it’s cooler.
[19:24] – A Dialog in the Car
Weston Jolly:
I had only been at the grave for a moment before hearing his voice. Drenched in sweat, I returned to my car, turned on the AC, and began a detailed conversation with my best friend. He provided clarity about what had taken place and shared insights about the other side.
[19:58] – Discovering the Gift
Weston Jolly:
This was years before I realized I had the ability to connect with the deceased through channeling. Reflecting back, this encounter marked my very first conversation with someone who had passed away, though I didn’t remember it clearly at the time.
[20:26] – A Visit from My Sister-in-Law
Weston Jolly:
The first person I remember talking to who was dead, very formally, was my sister-in-law. She died young due to an accident in a gym. She came to share with her sister, my wife, and they had a conversation for at least three hours. To be truthful, they were discussing things I had no physical understanding of, like two sisters talking about their lives.
[21:01] – Prophetic Insights
Weston Jolly:
While I was channeling, I was also auditing the process. My sister-in-law shared very prophetic insights about my future things I hadn’t even considered at that time, such as writing books and doing presentations. It was fascinating to hear her details, even if I hadn’t anticipated those choices for myself.
[21:37] – The Role of a Spiritual Medium
Weston Jolly:
Over the past 25 years as a spiritual channel and medium, I’ve encountered various situations involving those who have passed. I’ve had the unique chance to listen from two perspectives: that of the deceased and from those wanting to communicate with them.
[22:00] – A Mother Seeking Answers
Weston Jolly:
In one instance, a mother sought to understand why her son had taken his life. Experiencing such trauma, especially regarding suicide, is profoundly different in-person. While I haven’t experienced it physically, my esoteric gifts allow me access to such details, including the atmosphere and emotional weight of the situation.
[22:52] – The Son’s Message
Weston Jolly:
The young man wanted to communicate, not only with his mother but also with his father. Unfortunately, I only had the chance to connect with his mom. He wished to awaken both parents spiritually. Sadly, while his mother cared, his father dismissed the idea of connecting with the deceased, leading to a breakdown in their relationship.
[23:38] – The Emotional Weight of Suicide
Weston Jolly:
The situation emphasizes the emotional challenges parents face when learning about the actions their child took to create a spiritual awakening, especially regarding such a tragic event.
[25:03] – A Quest for Justice
Weston Jolly:
In another example, a policeman and his wife sought answers about their young daughter’s death. They wanted details to pursue justice against those responsible for the tragedy.
25:21] – Specific Clues from the Deceased**
Weston Jolly:
During the session, the little girl communicated details, like one of her missing shoes, which provided substantial clues for her parents about the circumstances surrounding her death-something I couldn’t have known without the spiritual channeling.
[26:48] – Tragedy of Addiction
Weston Jolly:
I also facilitated communication for a young man who had become addicted to heroin following a tragic football accident. He woke up the next day to find his best friend dead. The shock and guilt of being alive despite their shared experience weighed heavily on him, especially as he faced accusations from the deceased’s family.
[28:03] – Exploring the Nature of Death
Weston Jolly:
Here, the young man sought answers about his friend’s choice not to awaken, while the friend’s parents struggled to understand the nature of his passing. This scenario highlights the need for clarity around the circumstances of death.
[29:08] – A Hollywood Crime Investigation
Weston Jolly:
I had another inquiry from the romantic partner of a famous Hollywood crime investigator seeking clarity regarding his death and the deaths surrounding his investigations. This involved unpacking complex narratives, something I approached carefully.
[30:27] – A Mother’s Grieving Process
Weston Jolly:
In a different scenario, a mother sought to understand her son’s tragic suicide. Having attempted once before, his final act was methodically planned. She needed answers and connection, seeking to understand what transpired.
[31:27] – The Young Man’s Attempts to Communicate
Weston Jolly:
After his passing, the young man attempted to connect with his mother through phone calls that would ring without anyone on the line. During our session, I served as his voice, facilitating their communication and helping her find closure.
[31:27] – The Guilt of an Accident
Weston Jolly:
A woman sought my help after a tragic accident. While driving with her best friend, they were behind a U-Haul truck when the driver lost control, causing a high-speed collision. Although she walked away unharmed, her best friend did not survive, leaving her with overwhelming guilt and shame.
[32:45] – The Nature of Afterlife Communication
Weston Jolly:
Communication with the deceased is not just about closure regarding tragic events. Sometimes spirits want to facilitate growth and understanding for those left behind. However, it’s important to note that not every spirit wishes to guide the living. Many assume that once someone passes on, they will provide winning lottery numbers or similar guidance, but that expectation is unrealistic. The desire for ongoing relationships varies, as seen in my continuing connection with my best friend who passed away.
[33:50] – How Do the Dead Communicate?
Weston Jolly:
One of the most significant ways the deceased communicate with the living is through dreams. These dreams create a safe space for connection. I’ve encountered instances where spirits interact with their loved ones through lights flickering or phones ringing, subtle reminders that they’re still present. Music, too, serves as a bridge, with certain melodies triggering memories and emotions that connect us to those who have passed.
[34:54] – Unique Signs and Gestures
Weston Jolly:
Beyond dreams and music, communication can manifest through specific quirks or habits of the deceased. If someone had a unique laugh or a distinct way of moving, encountering similar traits in others can be a sign from them. Recognizing these cues can foster a deeper awareness and connection with spirits.
[36:01] – Helping Souls Transition
Weston Jolly:
An aspect of my work involves helping individuals prepare for death. While I don’t physically assist someone in leaving this realm, I do help facilitate their spiritual readiness to let go. This process is crucial for those who’ve struggled, particularly due to doctrinal beliefs that instill fear about death.
37:12] – A Case of Spiritual Relief **
Weston Jolly:
I was called to assist a man in hospice who had been there for eight years. His reluctance to let go stemmed from his upbringing, which instilled fear of eternal damnation. Through spiritual guidance and connection with him, I helped him understand that he could release his body without fear, easing his spirit for the transition.
[38:22] – Early Warnings of Mortality
Weston Jolly:
In some sessions, I’m able to provide insights into individuals nearing the end of their life journey. For example, a couple sought my guidance regarding the man’s post-rehab progress, and I had to inform him that he would die within a couple of months. He was shocked, but my role is to provide honest information for his benefit.
[39:27] – A Battle with Cancer
Weston Jolly:
Another woman faced a battle with cancer and sought my help multiple times. Initially, she found balance and relief from the disease, but during a subsequent session, I had to inform her that her body was at its end and that she had yet to confront deeper unresolved issues linked to her illness.
[41:40] – Understanding Recurring Challenges
Weston Jolly:
The reason the cancer returned not once, but twice, ultimately leading to her release, was because this woman never fully addressed certain intimate aspects within her relationships. Providing her with this insight earlier could have allowed her to process these feelings before passing through the portal of death. Unfortunately, she did not choose to confront these issues, not a good or a bad decision, just a part of her journey.
[42:41] – The Concept of the Portal
Weston Jolly:
When we approach death, whether someone is transitioning or not, a portal begins to open. This can be likened to a cervix during childbirth, as the physical body prepares for a new journey. Spiritually, it resembles the iris of an eye, which opens to allow the passage of the soul. This portal expands as we approach death, leading to profound experiences, especially for those having near-death experiences, where they face the choice of returning to their physical bodies or moving on.
[43:57] – The Choice to Return
Weston Jolly:
Some individuals who’ve undergone traumatic experiences, such as severe accidents, may look at their charred bodies and wonder why they would choose to go back. Yet, they make the spiritual choice to return because they feel they have unfinished business. It’s imperative to understand that our beliefs don’t hold weight once we pass; what matters is the choice made at that moment.
[45:10] – Spiritual Assistance in Transition
Weston Jolly:
As someone prepares to leave this world, spiritual assistance is abundant, much like a loving guide welcoming a newborn. This support is both from energies in the spirit world and those in our lives, further easing the transition through the portal. The experience can be beautifully liberating as one begins to understand the process of letting go.
[46:23] – Ways to Connect with the Deceased
Weston Jolly:
If you seek a connection with yourself or a loved one who has passed, there are numerous ways to facilitate that interaction. I’ve designed a course called Secrets of Free Writing , focusing on automatic writing, which allows deeper insights beyond your conscious thoughts. This meditative practice engages your higher self, promoting meaningful connections and messages.
[47:32] – The Process of Dying: A Deeper Understanding
Weston Jolly:
Many people wonder what actually happens when you die. I propose a follow-up discussion titled I’m Dead, Now What? Where we explore the details of the tunnel of light and the common experiences associated with it. Gaining this understanding can enrich your current life, changing the way you live and perceive your connections with the world.
