Q&A with Vanayssa Somers
One of the most exciting things in the Publishing industry is meeting interesting people who are talented authors and write intriguing stories.
After reading Proof of Life after Death by Vanayssa Somers, I had a few questions about her amazing book.
1) Proof of Life after Death, I loved the book and the title. Is it possible for your Oversoul to reach you in this dimension?
Hello Angelo. Sure is nice to hear from you! And a pleasure to talk about the metaphysical issues in life.
Metaphysical is to some extent another word for our modern day use of the word ‘spiritual’. It is a fascinating study, and dates back to the truly ancient East Indian studies and other cultures, Tibetan, Asian, for example. Did you ever read something which instantly set your mind and soul on fire and you could not get enough of it? That’s metaphysics for me.
As far as your question goes, yes, our Oversoul does reach us in this dimension for sure. If you read Curtis Loys Jackson’s book ‘A Handbook for Cosmic Consciousness’ and read one of the essays in the latter part of the 2nd edition, for example on page 223 of the paperback edition, you will find a discussion of this topic. The Oversoul dwells in the far off future, this is true, and is of course ourselves, perfected. We are, in 2020, in the Past. The far past, in fact. We are just beginning the last of three Dark Ages. If you wonder why life is so difficult, this is why. By the time this current Age is over, we will have entered what Jackson calls the Mental Ages, a time of much brighter, more fulfilling life, but one we must patiently work toward at this time. On our shoulders is the burden of continuing to lay the foundation for a fabulous future for our species.
The Oversoul, from its place in the Future, looks back upon our lives continually. Their work is to continue to assist us in our lives and find those in the Past who are ready to go forward with understanding of metaphysical issues. Each person’s life is one facet of the Oversoul’s complex personality, and each life is vitally important to Oversoul. Let’s call them TTO, for Time Travelling Oversoul, it’s easier to type!
If you were to take away one minute of one lifetime from the thousands of lifetimes that went before, your TTO would not be the same person, and might not even exist. So every minute of every life is vital to the eventual perfection of this soul.
As a result, our TTO, who is very real person, oversees our lifetimes and the thousands of lifetimes that went before, and those that will occur after us, for the TTO exists thousands of years in the future.
As they look back on the countless lifetimes that belong to that TTO and their evolution, they are looking for those who are ready to learn some new material and evolve further. That is when you are ready, and of course nothing really tells you that you have evolved to a certain point, but suddenly something happens. You will look back in wonder at a certain moment when a certain thought occurred to you to do some specific thing.
For example, I was sweeping the floor one day when I thought, I wonder if there are any good books out there yet on Time Travel. Of course, we are all thrilled with the idea of travelling through time, and I was thinking of the kind of time travel where we actually could travel to the past and change something. Wouldn’t we all like to do that?
I went to Amazon and discovered Curtis Loys Jackson’s book A Course in Time Travel. When I finally got the book, I found it was not about travelling through time to change our decisions, but about our own time-travelling journey through the Ages as we evolve and move through different lifetimes and experiences that shape and change our spiritual nature.
As I tried to read it, I was stuck. I had absolutely no awareness of words like ‘dimension’ or ‘consciousness’. As a retired nurse, I thought of consciousness in terms of shining a light into someone’s pupils to check their level of consciousness with a different meaning. Dimensions, well, of course I thought only of feet and inches.
I continued to be stuck. I read it over and over, struggling with the concepts, and with no one to explain anything to me. This small book was written by a Master of metaphysics, and for a total novice, a more simple introduction was needed. Since those days, I have been surprised to find that many young people somehow or other have gathered enough of this esoteric knowledge to make them able to read the book and have a fair understanding of it. I am not sure how they have managed that. But times are different now.
Eventually, I contacted the author and was treated to an individual training by email which has gone on to this day. I must admit, for I am an ordinary person, that I still struggle with some concepts. It’s a case of broadening our understanding, and only effort and time can clarify many things for us.
For example, the TTOs live not in linear time, as our lifetimes are lived, but in universal or nonlinear time. They live in a state of past, present, future all at once and are comfortable with that. That’s why they can be where and who they are and look back, checking on their previous lifetimes, watching and considering where and when to carefully intervene to move someone forward a little.
Now you will say, oh wait. So the TTO is a highly evolved person who lives thousands of years from here in nonlinear time. You say every moment of any of our lives matters and cannot be changed without affecting the TTO themselves. Yet, you say that the TTO looks back upon the thousands of lifetimes that went before to evolve to the point of their existence, and they search through those lifetimes to find moments when they can insert some event that will help draw someone forward. So both those things can’t be true! They can’t not change the lifetimes and still change them!
The moments when the TTO inserts a new experience or thought into the life of one of their facet lifetimes, those moments are in the Past for the TTO. The TTO and all of us, eventually, exist in nonlinear time where past, present future are all one. Everything happening at once, forever. Learning to grasp the concept of universal or nonlinear time is one of the many endless tasks we as students must embark upon. It is not learned in a day. When they change some small event for us to advance more quickly, that is in their Past. We are all facets of our particular TTO, one of thousands. When they place something in our own Present, it is automatically in their Past, and in nonlinear time. It remains there.
I won’t say more about that right now, in order to answer your specific question better. At least, I hope so. I will say that I am in the early stages of grappling with the concept of nonlinear time.
From my own experience, I can say that the actual Person who is my highly evolved Oversoul has made direct contact with me at least twice. I talk about those moments in the book.
For each student, those experiences will be different and immeasurably precious. And will also only deepen the mystery even further even as they enlighten.
2) Knowledge VS experiences, which is more important to discover our Oversoul?
The first thing a student must do in order to attract their TTO’s attention, is set out to learn. To work patiently to gather understanding. To develop and enhance their own burning curiosity. At some point in that effort, their TTO, who is always checking their own past lifetimes for opportunities to enhance and assist, will become aware of the student’s struggle and will be delighted, jumping in to help, although the student is not aware of this. How do you develop your curiosity? Well you know that not everyone is as equally curious about life as the next person. Depending on our evolution over lifetimes, we may be happy to just meander along on life’s highway, getting through our days without much curiosity as to our origins and our purpose. But if you are a person who is harassed in life by a desperate need to know why we are here, why is it so difficult, why do we matter, if you are lucky enough to be done of those, you will attract the attention of your Oversoul.
So you can see, in answer to your question, the hunger for knowledge is linked to experience constantly. If you get a book that strikes fire in your soul, like Jackson’s works, or like Helena Blavatsky’s works or other ancient and modern teachers, then your mind is sending out messages to your TTO and you don’t even know it. They hear the signal and respond. What I appreciate so much about Jackson’s books is that he wrote in an effort to arouse the curiosity of those who were ready for it. So you start off reading it and saying “What?? I don’t understand any of this!” and you are frustrated and indignant and wonder where to get more knowledge. That very state of mind attracts the attention of your Oversoul. They step in with great pleasure! They begin creating situations that help bring understanding to the struggling student. It is breakthrough time and as the ancients have always said, When the student is ready, the teacher appears!
The thirst that drives you further up the mountain to find the cool springs that satisfy, that thirst is felt in the soul of your Higher Power, and they instantly begin to move toward you. After all, they are you! Long ago! Living in nonlinear time, they can gaze upon their own thousands of past lifetimes continually, living in their own consciousness in memory of all detail.
3) Could we come across people who have passed away?
Are you referring to those who return from the future to help increase evolution here in this time? I know people who claim to be exactly that, but I have no way of knowing if they really are or not. I am sure there are people who are from the future, often are walk-ins into existing bodies, or are born into families where they are possibly a poor fit and have arrived to begin a long and hard road in this dark time to try to increase the light a little more quickly. I am told that some disappear and never return to the future. Have you read the novel TimeLine? I think it’s a Michael Crichton book. About these folk who enter the past into the days of Knights and Kings and there is one fellow who likes the lifestyle so much he won’t go back to the future world he came from. We always remember really good time-travel books. It reflects our deep desire to change past decisions I guess. There is nothing like hindsight to show us the way we should have gone. So far, we yearn in vain but who knows? It’s very possible that we will time travel eventually and it may not be so far off.
4) When do you believe it’s the best time of our life to start discovering the answers on afterlife?
I think it varies. I know that people who come from very painful and difficult backgrounds sometimes begin an early search for the answers to afterlife questions. There is in some an appetite for knowledge of Creator, or God, a hunger based on yearning for the love that comes from Source and nowhere else, or at least, they feel that. That hunger can start very early if the childhood is barren and harsh, depending on the potential of the child. But we have all heard of poets and writers who began an early search for the spiritual answers and who came from peaceful and perhaps academic homes, and often homes where music held sway and children learned to play instruments and sing early in life. A rich and deeply textured childhood can yield brilliant searchers who write and teach great things. But the yearning in the human heart for the love of Source is peculiar and universal, I think. It’s a cellular thing. I personally believe the information we have had in recent years about water and its wisdom, its knowledge and memory. It is quite possible that Source or God is water. This would explain how Creator moves with us in our lives and knows and understands all. We are 70 percent water, more or less. We have no secrets from Creator, like it or not. Water is associated with emotion also.
For me, my parents were Communists and passionately believed that life should be better and that capitalism was a source of unnecessary suffering along with the appetite for money that is never enough. I grew up with that, angry about the injustices of the world and wanting things to be better for ordinary poor people. But I grew disillusioned with that outlook eventually, by adulthood, and realized that no one seemed to have the answers. Then I fell into fundamentalist Christianity, a dreadful and savagely cruel thing. But it was all part of my hungry search for answers. So my search started in my adolescent years and carried on through different false pathways. After Christianity I fell in love with a kind of strange right wing pathway, and after a bit I moved on to fasting and yoga and so on, and it was in my 70’s I discovered A Course in Time Travel and Curtis Loys Jackson’s writings. Fortunately for me, he was still alive and teaching at that time. I am sure the Ancients could tell us that the pathway to Source is long and convoluted and we need to keep on keeping on. From my experiences following Jackson, it seems to me that you can’t go wrong with deep meditation, no matter who is teaching, as during deep trance meditation, your Oversoul has absolute access to you and no one else does. Except Source itself, and that’s the best place to be.
5. What is the meaning of life?
Well…now you’re asking a hard question. Would have to say, it’s got to be Love. We are a long way from it a lot of the time but every once in a while, it rears its beautiful head and there it is! Today I see on the TV that there are over 16,000 volunteers from around the world who are willing to be injected with the coronavirus if it will help find a vaccine more quickly. That’s quite a commitment. You walk past these people in the street and there is no bright light around their heads to let you know that you are walking past a special person. But other people have at times offered one of their eyes to help a blind person, or a kidney, and so on, and these are all selfless offerings and very precious. It calls to us to remember the highest that we can be and can offer, and it challenges us all. I think, because we started way back in the first dark age, and a dark place it was for sure, and the pinnacle of our evolution will be (has already been achieved in the future) the perfected state of love not in one or two but in every living being. A society of perfected beings, spiritually perfected. What a great piece of work that will be. Our own Oversoul is one of the citizens of that society and is available to us if we hunger and are willing to search and work to achieve that pure state of love. The hungry mind and the willing heart call to our TTOs and they respond with presence and teaching.
6. Tell me a few things about you.
I am one of six children, grew up in the woods of Vancouver Island, grew up leaping from log to log in the deep forests and somehow did not ever injure myself, in fact, none of us injured ourselves though we climbed and ran and explored and imagined and had a secret Island we could wade to when the river was low, and I guess someone was protecting us. If our mom had known half the stuff we got up to!
My parents were members of the Canadian Communist Party when Tim Buck was the leader. We grew up full of Karl Marx etc. But by my eighteenth year, I knew somehow it was not the answer. I went on to become a fundamentalist Christian, a Baptist and that was a sad story that ended badly.
I went to Scotland to take my R.N. training and married there. There I took a frightening risk and approached a banker for a business loan and got it, amazing feeling, and built and ran a health spa for eight years.
Returned alone to Canada eventually and got a BA in Sociology (mainly because it did not require math and I had only grade eleven math, but Sociology was good for me due to my left wing background) at University of Victoria, and later discovered Reiki and became a Reiki Master and changed my name from my birth name of Sonja Stevens to Vanayssa Love, which I have to this day. I am allowed one more name change in Canada but along with four marriages and the name changes that went with those, I have had enough name changes for one lifetime. I changed my name legally to try to change my luck, as at that time many were changing the spelling of their names in order to have better lives, but I did not find it gave me better judgment or decisions. The only advantage is that everyone seems to like my name now.
I worked as a nurse sometimes, as an NLP counsellor sometimes, in offices sometimes, and often as a Reiki practitioner.
In my life I have often attracted gossip and made-up stories about me, I guess because I am a woman and I have not really lived a traditional life. I have been married to four alcoholics, and thus learned humility, for no one can cure an addict. Only the addict and Source can cure an addict. I love easily and often love those who do not love me back, which is always a rude surprise. But I don’t think loving is ever a mistake. We have to remain open to learning and loving, that’s vital.
Now, as I am old, I like my life of living quietly in a country town and enjoy my flowers and the beauties of this place. I have owned and built many structures, but now I rent and have a terrific landlady and landlord, and what old person can ask for more? I have a little white dog and a partner who actually knows more than me, which is nice. An onsite teacher. In my old age, I have the simple but complete life I used to yearn for. I used to look at houses as I rode the bus to and from work and schooling, and see the lamplight shining in windows at night and wonder if I would ever feel at peace. Today, as I wait my Call from Source to the next thing along life’s way, I enjoy the peace of a pleasant, quiet town where flowers grow madly all spring and summer and fall, and there is sun and rain in good proportion, and clean, fresh grocery stores with healthy food and I am blessed. My one great catastrophe, the death of my only child, a beautiful daughter, has certainly riven great channels and canyons in my soul, and taught me things only she could have taught me. She came back to visit me on the first anniversary of her death, thus showing me that life is eternal and we never, ever die. Left behind, I suffer of course, but have seen the joy in her face when she came back to see me, and know she is happy and fulfilled. Through the teaching of The Monroe Institute and of Bruce Moen, I learned to visit the other side and see my loved ones there. These wonderful gifts don’t nullify the pain of loss, but how can I grieve when she is so happy?
The town I live in is listed officially as The Worst Place to Live in Canada.
Which just goes to show you, people who have to make lists all the time don’t know much.

If our mom had known half the stuff we got up to!
My parents were members of the Canadian Communist Party when Tim Buck was the leader. We grew up full of Karl Marx etc. But by my eighteenth year, I knew somehow it was not the answer. I went on to become a fundamentalist Christian, a Baptist and that was a sad story that ended badly.
I went to Scotland to take my R.N. training and married there. There I took a frightening risk and approached a banker for a business loan and got it, amazing feeling, and built and ran a health spa for eight years.

I worked as a nurse sometimes, as an NLP counsellor sometimes, in offices sometimes, and often as a Reiki practitioner.
In my life I have often attracted gossip and made-up stories about me, I guess because I am a woman and I have not really lived a traditional life. I have been married to four alcoholics, and thus learned humility, for no one can cure an addict. Only the addict and Source can cure an addict. I love easily and often love those who do not love me back, which is always a rude surprise. But I don’t think loving is ever a mistake. We have to remain open to learning and loving, that’s vital.
Now, as I am old, I like my life of living quietly in a country town and enjoy my flowers and the beauties of this place. I have owned and built many structures, but now I rent and have a terrific landlady and landlord, and what old person can ask for more? I have a little white dog and a partner who actually knows more than me, which is nice. An onsite teacher. In my old age, I have the simple but complete life I used to yearn for. I used to look at houses as I rode the bus to and from work and schooling, and see the lamplight shining in windows at night and wonder if I would ever feel at peace. Today, as I wait my Call from Source to the next thing along life’s way, I enjoy the peace of a pleasant, quiet town where flowers grow madly all spring and summer and fall, and there is sun and rain in good proportion, and clean, fresh grocery stores with healthy food and I am blessed. My one great catastrophe, the death of my only child, a beautiful daughter, has certainly riven great channels and canyons in my soul, and taught me things only she could have taught me. She came back to visit me on the first anniversary of her death, thus showing me that life is eternal and we never, ever die. Left behind, I suffer of course, but have seen the joy in her face when she came back to see me, and know she is happy and fulfilled. Through the teaching of The Monroe Institute and of Bruce Moen, I learned to visit the other side and see my loved ones there. These wonderful gifts don’t nullify the pain of loss, but how can I grieve when she is so happy?
The town I live in is listed officially as The Worst Place to Live in Canada.
Which just goes to show you, people who have to make lists all the time don’t know much.
