Introduction


My name is John Streiff, and together with Bonnie Vent, it is with great pride that we present this compilation to you, our readers.


I have been researching various areas in Parapsychology for many decades. My research interests include topics of Extrasensory Perception (ESP) and Psychokinesis (PK). In that time I have studied many exceptional and gifted individuals, including many mediums. I have had the privilege to witness and document what can only be called some remarkable phenomena and abilities in well-controlled conditions. For me, this present compilation is very exciting.


A few years ago, I discovered Bonnie's website at www.bonnievent.com where she had several forums. One of these was dedicated to the Whaley House in San Diego, where I had worked with the original curator in the early days. I had a unique historical perspective on the house and the Whaley family. Bonnie contacted me originally after realizing my background and our mutual interests in the Whaley family. I met Bonnie Vent in early 2006 after we had communicated online. From my mediumship research and historical knowledge, it quickly became clear to me that Bonnie was indeed able to receive information, perhaps from discarnate individuals. I determined to study her further, and that began a long and fruitful working relationship that continues to this day.


Modern mediumship research has conclusively demonstrated that some people are fully capable of acquiring information they should not know by any normal means in the presence of careful controls. It does not yet scientifically prove the exact source of this information. It is not known if this indicates survival of consciousness or is due to the retrieval of information by some channel or field. What is important however is that this communication does indeed occur and it can be trusted in the right settings and conditions.


I found that Bonnie Vent has a history of receiving communications that are accurate and specific to the individuals involved. My own studies of her work clearly indicates the validity of the messages when compared with historical or factual information, unknown or even non-existent at the time Bonnie receives the messages.


Messages conveyed by mediums tend to fall into several categories. One common category includes messages from relatives and loved ones that are intended to assist those who remain behind. Another is historical communications given with the intent of correcting errors in history by those who actually lived these events. Our investigation of the Beautiful Stranger of the Hotel Del Coronado falls into this category. The final group are messages from controls and guides. These messages are intended for those who have come to a point in their lives where they find themselves asking the Big Questions. The contents of this book fall into this last category.


Bonnie has known of her guidance since a very young age. This group has announced themselves as “The Connection”. They seem to be a collective, have a group intelligence and speak with one voice despite being many. The say they have been guiding Bonnie throughout her life in various ways.


This project actually began with an earlier project in which Bonnie was compelled by her guidance to communicate with several deceased individuals to tell their stories of their passings. It seemed that these stories might be comforting to those who were in various ways dealing with the loss of loved ones. The current project grew out of that earlier work. But in this case, Bonnie's own guidance took center stage and spoke instead.


Bonnie recorded the sessions on video in San Diego, California while I asked questions and monitored the sessions over the Internet from the Washington, DC area. The sessions were broadcast live on the Internet and online questioners asked questions in real time. Many of those questions are included in these communications.


When Bonnie was visited by Michael Jackson shortly after his death and his resulting messages were made public, many people began to think about issues of mortality and related questions. We heard from many that these conversations with The Connection were indeed very helpful and comforting and so have made them available in this format.


We do hope you find them insightful, inspirational and enlightening as so many others have.

Show Introduction by John Streiff


John: Welcome to Conversations with the Dead with Bonnie Vent, medium and Spirit Advocate , I'm John Streiff. We are communicating through The Connection, using trance channeling - a principle of inter-dimensional communication - we are able to hear the voices of those who have passed as well as those who are higher guidance.


These communications originate, in fact, through a channel that connects dimensions. While this cannot be proven scientifically today due to limitations in technology, mediumship and inter-dimensional communication give us a way to know what may be going on in that other dimension using the subjective perception of the medium.


Bonnie Vent is a Spirit Advocate who has been in touch with this other dimension and its residents. They have sought her help for various reasons, whether recently deceased or left this physical world over a century ago.



Introduction and purpose of “The Connection”


The Connection: What a wonderful introduction! Thank you so much! That showed tremendous understanding of the process. We really were not aware that you were as aware as you are. Thank you so kindly.


As John mentioned, we are trying to establish a bridge from the third dimension into the fourth and fifth. This bridge is designed for your comfort and is connected with Love. We hope to establish communication with you via video and have you generate questions that we answer for you. We are trying to establish a “meeting of the minds”, as it were, so that we can communicate more effectively with you and you can also stretch and grow to new areas of development for yourselves.


There are a multitude of things that may come through this channel, and we wanted to let you know this. Some are really very basic, as in people who have already gone through the process of exiting your dimension and entering into the next. And they have graciously stepped forward to assist you in this process. Because who better than someone who has actually gone through this to provide you with examples of what the process might be like for you as well?


We also, once again, want to reach out to the research community, because the work that you are doing will attract a certain element of the population that we, perhaps, cannot. We work more on the level of 'feeling' and what resonates with the individual person. Whereas the researcher has the ability to explain to the rational mind

why these things might be occurring. A person who dwells in the rational would not necessarily accept the process that you are observing currently. And, we understand this; we understand the skepticism. It is intriguing to us that you are developing and working on machines trying to do what is a natural process. And that more credibility is put into the machine than is put into the human element. This is somewhat saddening to us, but we do understand, and we will assist in any questions that serious researchers might have, as well as individuals. And we are happy to provide this service to you. We hope to minimize fear and anxiety, because you are indeed going through a tremendous shift. Regardless of what aspect you want to look at on the diamond that is what you know as life, you will find this all around you. Even in your broadcast media of today, you will be getting an inkling of what lies ahead. We do suggest that you look more at your science channels than you do your broadcast news. Your broadcast news is deceiving to you. They are trying to provide a picture that fits into the rational mind. If you scratch very slightly below the surface, you will realize that you're not necessarily given the truth that currently exists. So we suggest that you use your powers of discernment, and that you 'feel into' the information that you're being provided, listen to your “gut” as they say, because this will be the way of working in the future.


The rational mind works in what you consider to be your reality. And you should know, and especially the researchers should know, that the area around you that you call “reality” can fool you. It does fool you on an ongoing basis. So, since we are currently working today with John, we would like to first ask him if he has any questions that he would like to pose, and we are aware that this is a test of this process, so we hope that in the future people will listen to this message and want to join in again with us, and it is open to any and all that care to communicate us. The mechanisms are in place and John will be moderating those mechanisms, so if you do have a question, he can communicate that directly through to us. And we are so happy that this technology has now been put in place and is finally beginning to work. It is a joyous, joyous day. And we hope that John also feels the joy and exuberance that this opportunity opens. A very interesting door for him personally, and also for the research that he has been doing.


So for now we are going to sit here for a minute, and if John has a question or questions, we would be more than happy to entertain those.


John: Thank you very much. I'm sure that some people are wondering who is speaking. Can you tell us a bit more about who or what you are? Put it in terms, if you can, that would have meaning to us in our physical world.


The Connection: Name seems to be very important in the dimension that you currently reside in. It is actually a part of your imprint, so it is very natural that you would be looking to name us and to categorize us in some fashion. The name that you can refer to us as, if you so desire, would be The Connection, because that truly is our purpose, therefore we will be using that as our name. We provide connection points. And it's interesting in that this particular channel that we have chosen (Bonnie Vent) has an innate ability in the connecting of dots. And truly that' is what we do as well.


We connect dots for you, we establish connection points that have always existed, but you have not been aware, you could not see and observe them. So we are trying to put a light on these connection points and walk you through the process of connecting these points to each other to get you truly where you need to go which is the opening of the next room, the next doorway that you walk through.


John: Thank you very much, that does help immensely. Let me follow in that vein just a little bit. The term “we” is used quite a bit here, implying a group of some sort. “We”, “our” and so on to me implies a group. Are you are in fact a representative of a group? Are you indeed a group speaking at one time? Or is there another way to conceptualize what you are?


The Connection: You are hearing a group consciousness directed through one channel. We want to bring this up to you personally, John, we understand that you have some knowledge on audio recording. And you know that this is entirely possible to channel multiple audio input into one particular channel. And this is what we are doing, and it comes through in a blended fashion, and so you are not speaking to one individual you are speaking to a collective. For you, it is easier to hear the one voice, because truly if you were to hear all voices speaking simultaneously, you would not be able to comprehend the information. And so we are doing this intentionally to make this easier for you in the third dimension.


John: I see. This brings up another question regarding how you intercommunicate in your dimension. What type of communication do you engage in? I assume the concept of the exchange of ideas is a very real thing for you, how does that work on your side?


The Connection: The closest thing that you have to the type of communication that we engage in would be what you refer to as “telepathy.” Except that we are able to receive multiple thoughts at multiple times and process them in a way that you currently do not have the capability to do.


John: So you can process multiple thoughts at once. It sounds like it is a group and that implies to me that there are in fact individuals in the group. Would that be correct?


The Connection: There are individuals in the group. As a matter of fact, the group is growing quite large. This is indeed a research project in the dimension that we are in. We have now invited you to join in with this as part of the bridging of the gap between the two dimensions to bring you more into the realms that we currently experience. And so we have our own scientists and psychologists and a myriad of experts, including some regular individuals who just have interesting relatable stories. So in the research community this would be considered I guess “anecdotal” evidence, and so it's not so different that we bring together all skill sets.

It's maybe a little different for you in that it's all coming through one particular source. So you really are getting the maximum amount of information delivered to you in a way that you are able to digest.



Perceptions


John: Let us move to a little different topic, one that has actually become quite interesting on our side recently. Like many things it's by no means a new topic; just a resurfacing of a topic. It has to do with how one perceives things and the concept of false memories. It has been said that many people experience various sorts of what we here call “anomalous phenomena” due to their own fantasy-proneness, belief systems, and the like. I'm curious to know, since you're sitting from a totally different perspective, first, do you know what I'm talking about, does that exist on your side, that problem, that issue, and second, do you have any sense of what degree that might be happening in our dimension?


The Connection: There are some that are, the term is “awakening”. There is awareness that there is more than just the third dimension that surrounds you. The people that are experiencing what they consider to be “anomalous” or things that don't fit into the third dimension are truly getting a look-see into the fourth and fifth dimensions. These are things that do actually exist, they are not imaginary. They can be from past, present or future, including very distant past, so you would be seeing something from thousands of years ago into your third dimensional reality. It's really not that it came into the third dimension; it's that you actually stepped slightly into the fourth and fifth dimension. So these are not imaginary things that people are observing. Truly everything is occurring simultaneously. Only in the third dimension, where there is linear time, do you walk a time-line of past, present and future.


John: So from your perspective the future is happening from one perspective all at once. If I saw it from your perspective is that how it would appear to be?


The Connection: Everything is happening simultaneously and is driven by the intent of the experient. You're seeing this in the third dimension in people that talk about the “power of intention.” This is, yet again, a bridging of the gap, a tool that can be used. It is unfortunate that some chose to use this as a way to try and generate money, which has no valid purpose in any dimension other than the one you reside in. But the fact is that the teaching is there, and it is up to the person who absorbs the information, the intent of how they want to use that. But part of bridging this gap, is to use the power of your intention as to what you would like to experience, and it's a little slower in the third dimension from the time that you generate the thought to the time that it reaches your physical perception. It is much faster in the fourth and fifth dimension. Now, there is a little element of caution here, as has been said by many for many years, “be careful what you wish for.” So you do have to be very careful about your thought, that you keep your thoughts in alignment with what you truly want to experience as opposed to what you'd like to avoid. People spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about “worst case” and what they're going to do “if and when” some bad thing happens. That can, especially in the fourth and fifth dimensions, actually bring that bad thing into your reality. So you do want to be careful about that and live more of an “intentioned” life of what you do want to experience as opposed to pain avoidance.


John: So you're saying that pain can be avoided simply by doing nothing more complicated than living by intention?


The Connection: That is correct.



Religions


John: What knowledge do you have of religions? What is your opinion, and how does it fit into your perspective?


The Connection: That is a tricky question in that we do not wish to offend people and their belief systems. However, it is a third dimension concept that was put into the dimension by men and their activities. It is used in some ways to control people and control their behavior. It does not have a place in the higher level dimensions. In the dimensions that we are referring to, you don't really require there to be laws because everything is generated by love and positive thought. So controlling bad behavior, so to speak, has no place. There truly is no good or bad, there is just experience. And if you want to experience what others might perceive as a negative experience it's yours to do with and to play with as you see fit. So the organized religions are indeed man-made and they do have a seed of truth in that there is a higher level energy that is in some ways controlling what people are experiencing. But there is no intent to control people on such a minute level as you see in a lot of the religions.


It is much better to be in connection with the higher level guidance that came in with you than to reach for external sources or idols that others may put up there. It is difficult - what I'm saying - for some people. But if you go to the simple concept of what do you feel about a particular thing, and if a belief system is causing you to generate bad feelings or feel badly about other groups who do not believe as you do then you really need to rethink whether that belief system is serving you well. I hope that makes sense.



Absolute Truth


John: It certainly makes sense to me. There has been some thinking over here on our side and I'm sure it's shared by your scientists and philosophers as well having to do with the so-called Absolute Truth. I won't say too much more about that, I'll assume that those in the group know what I am talking about. What do they have to say about this Absolute Truth or Universal Ground? I'll use those two terms. What do you think are we on the right track and how does that relate to you?


The Connection: We're not quite sure how we want to address this, because the term “Absolute Truth” doesn't exist in the area where we observe. There is search for and a desire in human-kind to search and explore to hope that they have indeed found the Absolute Truth. But, as you may have become aware, as you search, the truth alters and changes, as it is a dynamic. It is about the exploration and playing with, in a very childlike way actually, playing with what you observe in your reality around you. So what is true and what is false is part of the duality of the third dimension. And it is really, in the fourth and fifth dimension all about the playing. There is no search for Absolute Truth or Holy Grail or whatever, being to discover or any of those kinds of concepts. They truly do not have any relevance here. It is about the exploration and about the play. We hope that people will find this to be attractive, because it’s very open. You can literally do and dream and think about whatever you so desire. That can be a little scary to some, but for those that get the hang of it, it's really quite a joyous experience.



Placeholders


John: Are you aware of those in our dimension who seem to understand the things you're talking about and who practice this on a regular basis. Is there someplace these people tend to be found? Is there anything in common about these people?


The Connection: There are placeholders that are, and this channel is one, there are many. There are many, many people that were brought to assist in this particular point in time and they do have some commonality. They may not even be consciously aware of the commonality that they have. They have all be awakened, at one time or another, that what they perceived as reality, may or may not be true. That it could possibly be, perhaps, a holographic image generated from another source. They played with this idea, and in some cases they've been able to find little flaws and little gaps in the holographic images that are being presented. This intrigues the scientific mind that loves anomalous things in nature. How do they work, and let's pull them apart and see. So they follow the breadcrumbs of the anomalous activity they are observing and find that one anomalous activity leads to another leads to another. It is very intriguing to them, I'm sure. And yes, they have all had circumstances in their past where perhaps they have had a peek into the fourth and fifth dimensions. They can't quite shake what they've experienced; they can't quite say “oh, it was just my imagination” because something in them anchors them to that thought and the pursuit.
