William Thomas Stead

Continuing on from his books After Death: Letter from Julia and The Blue Island, pioneering journalist, William Thomas Stead, who in 1912 went down on the Titanic, communicated additional advice and information from the spheres beyond our physical existence, or what some call, the afterlife.Following more than twenty years of communication, directly and via mediums Hester Dowden and Geraldine Cummins, Stead's daughter, Estelle, published Life Eternal in 1933.In this book, Stead expands on and clarifies "The Blue Island," the illusory state, he and other passengers and crew on the Titanic found themselves after their physical deaths. He describes that time as "a period following a shattering shock, and a great and sudden change."He goes on to say: "As a matter of fact a "cure" was being accomplished, and ... we awoke, rubbed our eyes, and found ourselves in a world not so unlike your own: a world in which we all felt awkward and strange at first. Then we knew that the Blue Island was a dream common to all of us, and that now we should go on our separate ways, and begin our new life."Stead discusses a broad range of subjects including the so-called spheres of existence, reincarnation, children in the afterlife, good and evil, the method and challenge of communication between the spheres and much, much more.Comparing the physical world to where he now resided he remarked, "Your Earth is like the sediment at the bottom of a vessel, the higher you go, the clearer the fluid becomes."

When on April 12, 1912, the British passenger ship, RMS Titanic, famously sank 400 miles off the coast of Canada, Estelle Stead was on a tour in the United Kingdom with her own Shakespearean drama company. One of the members of her group was a young man named Pardoe Woodman. According to Estelle, a few days before the tragedy Woodman told her over tea that there was to be a great disaster at sea and that an elderly man very close to her would be among the victims.Estelle's father, British newspaper editor and pioneering journalist, William Thomas Stead was a passenger on the Titanic and went down with the ship. Five years later in 1917 Woodman began receiving messages from William Stead by means of automatic writing. Having been discharged from the army Woodman was a guest of Estelle's and she began sitting with him and recording the messages. She noted that Woodman wrote with his eyes closed and that the writing was very much like her father's. Moreover, while writing he would stop at times and go back to dot the "i's" and cross the "t's," a habit of her father's which she was sure Woodman knew nothing about.Allegedly, Stead claimed that after he died he and other deceased passengers were taken to what he described as a Blue Island, presumably, somewhere in the so-called Astral Plane. This book is a record of what he gleaned in that post physical death state; an afterlife travel guide of sorts for anyone looking for directions.
