The first step is realizing that they’re not actually dead to begin with. Just because you cannot perceive something does not mean it doesn’t exist—this is ego. When you close yourself off to what is or isn’t possible you limit yourself. Humans are good at creating artificial boundaries for themselves. There are three main things the ego uses to close the valve on what is humanly possible: fear, ignorance, and superstition.

There are a few prerequisites that must be met before reliable communication can be established with the “dead.” The potential to meet these requirements exists within all individuals, but only rarely do people actually cultivate them. Many mediums fail in this regard. I hesitate to provide specifics, as doing so could spark all sorts of problems I have no desire to address or be responsible for.

I also use these prerequisites as a litmus test to determine who has authentic communication with the deceased and who is merely lying to make a quick buck or gain clout. As someone who views nonphysical reality with respect and honor—and dare I say, as a representative—I feel it is important to maintain a temperate spirit when it comes to openly disclosing certain matters.

What is it like? If you can get past the superstition, it’s great! Oh, and about the “ghost” label—they absolutely hate that. I’ve “heard” convincing arguments that not only are the “dead” more conscious than we are, but that death, as we define it, applies more aptly to us than to them. Very interesting, to say the least.
