Forbidden: Essays On Transdimensional Romantic Relationships

by William Murray

In his book Love After Life, William Murray recounted how the death of his twin flame motivated him to find, invent and develop techniques, practices and methods to reconnect with his wife, Irene. To his surprise, he was not only able to quickly move past the grief, but over the course of a few months he and Irene managed to develop a happy, joyful, fun and adventurous transdimensional relationship. It has now been two and a half years since her death, and they are better than ever. After the publication of that book, he and another like-minded individual, Mary Beth Spann Mank, established a Facebook group dedicated to supporting those who made the decision to stay in relationships with their partners who had crossed over. The group has expanded to nearly five hundred members as of this writing. It became evident upon hearing the stories of so many others that what he had gone through was not uncommon; there was great resistance to their desire to maintain their romantic relationships. The resistance was not just from the secular world, but also from someplace they didn't expect it - the spiritual community, which readily accepts that communication between this world and the world of the dead is not only possible, but even relatively common. It seemed that all sorts of relationships were acceptable and celebrated except romantic ones. They were told that it was wrong, unhealthy even non-spiritual. Mediums had never even heard of this and kept repeating the same "they want you to move on" or "they want you to find someone and be happy" tropes. They were told that they were interfering in our dead partner's spiritual progress, that such relationships do not exist beyond this world. They were told by psychologists, family and friends that they would always carry that horrible grief with them. They were told they were living in denial or a fantasy world. Before William's first book, it seemed there were only two options available. The first was to live in pain the rest of your life, and the second was to "move on" and find someone else to love. Now, however, there is a third move forward with your relationship and develop a satisfying and fulfilling transdimensional relationship. Unfortunately, that third option rattles a lot of secular and spiritual cages for various reasons. In Forbidden, William has collected some of his writings from the Facebook group Love After Life and explores various aspects of the choice to remain in your relationship after your partner dies, why it seems to bother other people from all walks of life, how to deal with resistance, as well as providing an overview of techniques, methods and insights he has gathered since the publication of Love After Life.
