DOES PURGATORY EXIST? with FATHER NATHAN CASTLE     “These profound experiences that you’re having give so many people hope that life is eternal, that it does go on, that we are just a physical body and when we die we don’t die.” – Dr. Amy Robbins, discussing Father Nathan Castle’s work helping souls adjust to the afterlife       Episode Summary:   Death by fires, automobile accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings? Oh my!   Today we talk with Father Nathan Castle, who over the past 20 years says he has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust to the afterlife. Victims of quick and often violent death came to him in his dreams seeking help. Although such contact with the other side was not something he sought out, Father Nathan has come to believe that providing such help is a responsibility the Holy Spirit has given him.   His books “Afterlife Interrupted”, “Afterlife Interrupted 2” are available now.   Listen in to hear how Father Nathan feels called to do his otherworldly work, in parallel to his service as a Catholic priest.     Topics We Discuss:   [2:24] How victims of Interrupted Death Experiences™, often after violent unnatural deaths contact Father Nathan. How he allows the person to channel through him, helping them heal and ultimately “take on the adventure of the afterlife”.   [8:46] What causes souls to get stuck.    [12:37] The concept of purgatory. Don’t assume your loved one who died suddenly or violently is “stuck”.    [15:46] The details of the healing ceremony, which includes Father Nathan’s co-conscious channeling the voice of the person/soul who needs help moving forward. Guardian angels (aka spirit guides, aka beings of light) participate.   [19:18]  What happens to the soul after the Father Nathan’s healing.   [20:35] How Father Nathan’s catholic faith interplays with his healing approach. Christianity and Easter. The universality of belief in life after death.   [22:52] Ethical questions and considerations of Father Nathan’s work. Navigating professional boundaries around psychotherapy vs. boundaries around Catholic priesthood.   [26:55] Quantum theology, where theologians consider the theological concepts through the prism of quantum physics.   [28:47] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book in on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?     FOLLOW FATHER NATHAN CASTLE:   Father Nathan’s books “Afterlife Interrupted” and “Afterlife Interrupted 2” are available on Amazon.
