As I left the medium’s house
that day, my overwhelming sense was how completely
normal I felt for having just connected with my dead mother. In fact,
the only thing weird about the mediumship reading was that - somehow
- it wasn’t weird at all.
Which, for me, as someone saturated with science and having had a
strained relationship with my mother, was very weird.
That experience marked the first step on a near-20-year journey of
scientific exploration. I wanted to understand if it was possible
for a living human being to genuinely connect with a post-mortem consciousness.
My conclusion from the statistically significant evidence I proceeded
to collect - under randomized, controlled conditions addressing falsifiable
hypotheses - meets if not surpasses what could be considered proof
beyond a reasonable doubt in a court system. That is, the most logical
explanation for what at least some mediums are doing and based on
the most rigorous experiments is that human consciousness does, in
fact, survive permanent bodily death.
Here, I will retrace the journey that led me confidently to that conclusion.
___________
Bugs, Drugs, and Mediums
I’ve always been a scientist. I grew up near Phoenix, and when
I graduated from
elementary school, I was chosen for the class Science Award. During
my first year of high school, my water pollution project received
an honorable mention in the nearby university’s science fair.
I received a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences with
a Microbiology emphasis. My PhD is in Pharmacology and Toxicology
with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology. Although my training
primarily involved the topics of bugs and drugs, I became skilled
in utilizing the scientific method to obtain answers to a wide variety
of questions.

About Julie Beischel:
I received my PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology
with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of
Arizona. I use this interdisciplinary training to apply the scientific
method to controversial topics.
Following my mother’s death by suicide and
an evidential mediumship reading, I forfeited a potentially lucrative
career in the pharmaceutical industry to pursue rigorous consciousness
research full-time. For over 17 years, I have worked full-time studying
mediums: individuals who report experiencing communication with the
deceased and who regularly, reliably, and on-demand report the specific
resulting messages to the living called sitters.
My studies began with testing the accuracy and specificity
of the information reported by mediums during phone readings performed
under controlled, more than double-blind, laboratory conditions that
address alternative explanations for the source of their statements
such as fraud, cueing, and overly general information. I have also
examined mediums’ psychology, physiology, business practices,
demographics, and experiences and published peer-reviewed journal
articles and anthology chapters discussing these factors and the potential
therapeutic application of mediumship readings during bereavement.
My research interests also include spontaneous, facilitated, assisted,
and requested after-death communication experiences.
Over my career, I have established myself as a world-leader
in empirical consciousness research. Specifically, my mediumship studies
optimize the research environment, maximize experimental controls,
and take into account the real-world experiences of modern mediums
(i.e., they have ecological validity). I have received multiple competitive
research grants from international organizations and I sit on advisory
boards for the Rhine Research Center and Forever Family Foundation.
I am the author of the Kindle books Among Mediums,
Meaningful Messages, and From the Mouths of Mediums and the paperback
book Investigating Mediums.
I am the co-founder (with my husband and research
partner Mark Boccuzzi) and Director of Research at the Windbridge
Research Center (www.windbridge.org), a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated
to easing suffering around dying, death, and what comes next by performing
rigorous scientific research and sharing the results and other customized
content for free with practitioners, clinicians, scientists, and the
general public.
