Medium Matt Fraser Reveals What Comes After Demise
High psychic medium Matt Fraser has been receiving communication from spirit since early childhood. A few of his earliest reminiscences are of seeing, listening to and sensing messages from the Different Facet the way in which different kids recall studying to journey a motorcycle. Confiding in his mom, he found “the household reward,” with psychic phenomena being handed down from his grandmother and his mom and down the road to him.
Rising up in a Catholic household, it took generations and a cultural turning of the tide for Matt to lean into his reward for speaking with spirit. It was throughout a studying with one other medium when his late grandmother got here by and inspired Matt to do what she couldn’t in life; to embrace and share his reward with the world.
After a decade of bringing therapeutic by personal readings and occasions, in January of 2020, E! premiered a ten episode run of Meet The Frasers, a docuseries introducing Matt’s work and his household to a a lot wider viewers and making his newest guide, We By no means Die: Secrets and techniques of the Afterlife an instantaneous New York Occasions bestseller on the day of its launch.
Matt Fraser now excursions the U.S., showing earlier than bought out crowds desirous to study concerning the components of our world that exist far past our 5 senses. I had an opportunity to take a seat down with Matt Fraser to ask him what comes after this life, what our departed family members look and sound like in spirit, and find out how to overcome what holds us again right here on earth.
Allison Kugel: What’s the most profound piece of knowledge you’ve got acquired from spirit?
Matt Fraser: Right here on this world we now have limiting beliefs. We’ve got anxieties, phobias and fears. All of us have these items. So many occasions we are saying to ourselves, “I’m not going to have the ability to try this. I’m too previous to try this. I’m not adequate.” We place fears and doubts in our personal minds and it stops us from dwelling our greatest life. It stops us from attaining milestones, and it stops us from attaining our goals. What I’ve realized is, on the Different Facet spirits do magnificent issues. They understand their God-given items that possibly they didn’t see on this world, they usually additionally understand how their life may have been completely different in the event that they didn’t give attention to the adverse; in the event that they didn’t give attention to a lot stressing, fear and putting these self-doubts on themselves, as a result of in heaven it doesn’t exist.
Allison Kugel: What does spirit need to say about what causes human fears and phobias, and why will we all have completely different fears and phobias?
Matt Fraser: When you have a look at a child or somewhat child, they don’t have phobias or fears when they’re youthful. [My son] Royce is barely 9 months previous and he’s not afraid of something. However, the opposite day he was taking part in round and he took somewhat tumble up and about. Fortunately it wasn’t excessive up, however now he is aware of to not go to the sting. That is how we study, however our phobias, fears and worries come from traumatic previous experiences. It may not be a traumatic expertise that you simply personally went by, but it surely is perhaps a traumatic expertise that you simply watched someone else undergo.
Allison Kugel: Are we supposed to permit that to tell future choices, or must be mud ourselves off and dive proper again in?
Matt Fraser: It’s about classes and being extra cautious. For instance, I can let you know from my expertise as a medium, I’ve seen folks die in so many various methods. I’ve seen folks undergo horrible issues of their life. To start with it used to take a seat with me. I was so fearful and all I assumed, “Oh, I can’t do that as a result of this occurred to one in all my purchasers,” or “I can’t belief this individual, as a result of this occurred with this individual I used to be studying for.” I talked to the spirit world and what the spirits informed me is, “All of us have our personal future, and all of us have our personal life that we are supposed to undergo, and these are all life classes that we study.” We’re put right here on this earth to make errors. We’re right here to journey, fall and stumble, but it surely’s all how we choose ourselves up and it’s about turning into your personal success story. That’s what the spirits share with me.
Allison Kugel: Do you as a psychic medium have the power to faucet into your son’s spirit information or his soul mission, or are you blocked from seeing that kind of data?
Matt Fraser: I don’t have all of the solutions. I don’t know all there may be to learn about demise and dying, as a result of I by no means died. I’ll solely know after I get to the Different Facet. Via the readings I do, and thru the souls that I talk with, I’m able to piece [some] issues collectively. I’m in a position to get little glimpses into heaven. Being a medium is like studying a brand new language, however what I’ll let you know is that this, we don’t know our life’s mission or what our items are till we transition on to the Different Facet. That’s when all the things is positioned in entrance of us. Our journey right here in life is all about discovering ourselves; our true self, our potential, discovering our items… all of these issues. I feel I do know what my life mission is. I feel my life’s goal is being a psychic medium, serving to folks join with their family members and exhibiting folks there may be extra to life, however I gained’t really know till I die. After we move on is when our complete life is proven in entrance of us and we than suppose, “Okay, this is the reason we have been put right here on this earth, and this is the reason this occurred in our life.”
Allison Kugel: That’s irritating (snigger).
Matt Fraser: I don’t suppose it’s irritating. I feel it’s superb, as a result of we aren’t meant to know all the things. Life wouldn’t be enjoyable if we did. Once you’re driving on the freeway at night time you’ll be able to solely see the place your headlights present you. You realize the place the vacation spot is. You realize the place you’re going, alongside the way in which you’ll be able to solely see up to now forward of you. It’s the identical factor with our lives. Even after I’m doing a studying, I don’t know everybody’s life from begin to end. After I’m giving a studying for somebody, loads of occasions when souls come by they may solely give me little bits of data to assist that individual alongside their manner. Spirits will not be there to assist us cheat life. I can’t simply get the lottery numbers or know who’s going to win within the horse race. They need us to do the work right here on this world. That’s why we’re right here.
Allison Kugel: Every little thing that I’ve studied concerning the spirit realm has led me to consider that our soul does reincarnate over and over, and we convey sure items and data from earlier lives into this life. However in your guide (We By no means Die: Secrets and techniques of the Afterlife/Gallery Books), you say that has not been your expertise when it comes to what you’ve realized.
Matt Fraser: I’ve by no means researched any of this. I’ve by no means picked up a guide. I’ve by no means learn concerning the Different Facet. I belief the data I get from the spirit world, and all the things I write and train is off of my very own private perception system from what I’ve realized throughout all these years giving readings. I can’t again one thing simply because I learn it in a guide. I’ve to know and listen to it firsthand from the spirit world. I’ve, personally, by no means met a soul that was reincarnated, that lived a few years in the past and got here by to me. That’s by no means occurred. So, till that occurs, I can’t train it as a result of nobody informed it to me and I’d be mendacity to you. I’ve requested the Different Facet many questions after they come by. “What’s your expertise with dying? How are you aware this info? How are you aware this or that?” I’ve began over these years to place the items collectively, and that’s how I’ve been writing my books, together with the one I’m writing now. With my final guide, We By no means Die: Secrets and techniques of The Afterlife turning into a New York Occasions bestseller on the identical day of its launch, I really feel prefer it’s as a result of so many individuals have been looking for this info.
Allison Kugel: Sure.
Matt Fraser: Since that guide got here out about two years in the past, and I wrote it throughout the pandemic, I’ve realized a lot extra since that guide was even revealed. It’s a endless supply of data for me. I’m not going to knock something or knock anybody’s perception system. I can solely speak about my very own experiences.
Allison Kugel: What has been shared with you…
Matt Fraser: Precisely.
Allison Kugel: Once you inform somebody that their grandmother or their grandfather, for instance, is standing proper beside them or in again of them, please clarify to me what precisely you might be seeing. Are you actually seeing them as clearly as you’re seeing me proper now?
Matt Fraser: I don’t see them as clearly as I see you, however I do see shadows and figures, sort of like a silhouette. I see a determine and I’ll know instantly that it’s the individual’s father. Each medium is completely different and has a special manner of connecting with the Different Facet. My grandmother used to get omens and premonitions. My mother is a card reader and she or he’s a life reader. She will be able to inform who you’ll marry and what’s going to occur 5 years from now. The way it works for me is that I’ll see shadows or a determine, and instantly after I join with that soul I’ll hear, “Okay, I’m this individual’s father, or I’m this individual’s mom.” They’ll begin to inform me fast bits of data. That’s the way it works after I’m out at a dwell occasion, and what’s actually cool is that for me it’s nearly just like the viewers disappears and all I see are figures on the market within the viewers. I’ll see a determine and I’ll be like, “Okay, that’s this individual’s father.” If I see the determine of a kid, I’ll see that this individual misplaced a son or a daughter, and it’s actually like going and piecing it collectively and utilizing your whole senses. I’ll see them, sense them, really feel them and listen to them. Relying on how that soul communicates, after they come by, the data is all the time completely different.
Allison Kugel: So, you might be getting this silhouette, plus they’re telling you telepathically who they’re to that individual?
Matt Fraser: I’m glad you mentioned that, as a result of what lots of people don’t understand, and I attempt to train folks how it’s, as a result of persons are like, “How the hell is that this man speaking to the Different Facet when he talks so rattling quick? How can he be speaking to the spirit world when he doesn’t shut the f*ck up?” If spirits talked to me the way in which you and I are speaking proper now it will take endlessly for them to explain what is occurring. They arrive to me actually rapidly. After I see that shadow or silhouette, I’ll know the spirit is able to talk. The extra I join with them, I’ll ask questions in my head, like, “Who’re you?” they usually’ll let me know, “I’m the daddy.” “How did you die?” Then I’ll begin to really feel issues. If I really feel issues in my head, I’ll know they’d a stroke or aneurism. If I really feel issues in my abdomen, I’ll know they’d stomach points. If my coronary heart begins to flutter, I’ll know they’d a coronary heart assault. If I see a picture of an urn, I’ll know that individual was cremated. That is all inside a few seconds that they will inform me loads about their life abruptly.
Allison Kugel: A departed soul’s connection to their latest life, have they got human feelings related to their life on earth, or is it extra indifferent?
Matt Fraser: It’s not indifferent, as a result of they’re with you every single day. They nonetheless love and care about you, however they know issues. It’s a must to perceive that in heaven the common data goes far past doing a Google search. Common data implies that your family members really know what you might be pondering. I do know that sounds traumatizing and also you’re pondering, “I don’t need my dad or my mother to know my ideas.” Actually, it’s that your family members really feel nearer to you and know why you made sure choices. Right here on this world, we now have a disconnect. We have the detachment. The souls on the Different Facet don’t. For instance, you and your mother would possibly get into a problem as a result of your mother would possibly say to you, “Why are you relationship that man? What do you see in him? Why would you retain going again to that relationship?” On the Different Facet, your mom in spirit would say, “I do know why you retain going again.”
Allison Kugel: They see the entire image.
Matt Fraser: Precisely. That’s the reason they don’t choose.
Allison Kugel: Why do a few of us, such as you, are available in with this open channel to the spirit world?
Matt Fraser: Really, the way in which the spirits describe it to me is that we’re all born with an open channel. All youngsters can sense, really feel and listen to the spirit world. It’s humorous as a result of folks ask me about my son on a regular basis. He’s solely 9 months and folks ask, “Does he have the reward?” I all the time inform folks, “It’s too early to inform,” as a result of all youngsters have the reward. So, do I do know he’s speaking to spirits? Completely. I do know he sees these folks. I do know he has these little conversations in his head or nonetheless he connects to the Different Facet, as a result of all youngsters do. All youngsters earlier than the age of three can have a spirit encounter, however some youngsters will maintain onto that connection and people encounters. They’ll keep in mind it, maintain onto it and preserve that connection sturdy, and a few youngsters gained’t. A variety of youngsters outgrow it they usually lose that connection, or they suppose they lose that connection. In my expertise it’s all the time there. We simply need to discover ways to tune again into it. With the vast majority of youngsters, it gained’t stick with them. Those who do and it follows them, that’s the place we get psychic children from.
Allison Kugel: Along with babies, animals appear to be very tuned into the spirit world.
Matt Fraser: Sure, one other tell-tale method to know if a spirit is with you might be your pets. I can’t let you know what number of occasions I might be doing a gaggle studying, and even an internet studying and everyone seems to be all the time apologizing as a result of the minute I begin the studying someone’s cat or canine begins going loopy. They’ll say, “I don’t know why the canine is doing this.” And I’ll say, “No, no, no. It’s okay. They’re seeing spirit.” Animals have a special filter and a special lens. What’s actually cool is that animals don’t concern demise and dying, and the reason being as a result of they know the Different Facet exists. Animals can really see spirits, which is so cool as a result of we as people, except you might be gifted or have some mediumship capacity, can’t see them with the bare eye. Even these spirits that come to me, I do know my pets can see them clearer than I can. Animals see spirits strolling with us every single day.
Allison Kugel: You’ve got superstar purchasers who’re, clearly, very Google-able. There’s loads of details about them within the public area. Is that more difficult for you?
Matt Fraser: I feel it is more difficult for most people to consider that it’s the superstar’s beloved one coming by. That’s the reason I don’t publish loads of the superstar readings. Anybody who’s excessive profile like Mariah Carey or Britney Spears, or somebody like that, you’ll be able to Google just about something about them. The factor is, after I do a studying for a star there are issues that come by which can be in a position to be Googled. There are issues which can be secret, that oftentimes come up in a studying. I discover that with celebrities, they typically have two personas. They’ve what they present within the public eye, after which what really occurs behind closed doorways. After I do a star studying, I don’t need to know something about that superstar. Fortunately, I’m so busy each single day between the lifeless and the dwelling, that I’ve no time to look at tv. A variety of occasions I’ll get superstar calls and everybody round me will freak out. I’ll be informed, “So and so needs to speak to you.” And I’m asking, “Who the hell is that?,” as a result of I don’t watch tv. My spouse will get extra excited than I do with sure celebrities. I’ll ask her, “Are you aware this individual?” And he or she’ll say, “In fact I do know that individual!” She’s into popular culture and I’m simply not, due to what I do.
Allison Kugel: Is there any skepticism on the a part of the superstar sitter you might be studying?
Matt Fraser: Under no circumstances. The skepticism is extra from most people, about these readings. The minute you begin to do a studying for a star you might be robotically set as much as fail by the skeptics, as a result of it doesn’t matter what you say, even for those who can’t discover it on-line they’ll say, “Nicely, he may have Googled that.” My response is, “Attempt to Google it and see if you’ll find it.” You may’t. Celebrities know what’s on the market and what’s not. My very own life is public. I’m on tv and all the things is on the market, but when there are specific issues my beloved one’s informed me, sure issues that occurred behind closed doorways, I might be capable to know if it was my mother, my dad or whoever it’s that handed away.
Allison Kugel: Talking of tv, how did you wind up getting your personal present, Meet the Frasers, on the E! Community?
Matt Fraser: I don’t know the way this all started, and I don’t know the way my guide turned a New York Occasions bestseller. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to determine it out to at the present time. I’m so honored and so amazed about this journey that the spirits have led me on. I began my profession as an EMT (emergency medical technician). I had a tremendous job. I beloved the employees, and I beloved working there. I began doing readings on the facet. I used to be coming again into my items and I made a decision I’m not going to maintain this hidden anymore. After I sense one thing or I really feel one thing, I’m going to speak about it. I began doing readings for my mates and getting referrals. Hastily folks would name and say, “Hey, I heard you do readings. I heard you have been a medium.” Individuals began discovering out about me and the following factor I’m being requested to be on tv reveals, on radio reveals after which I bought a name from E! they usually mentioned, “Matt, we need to do a present about you and your life.” Then Simon & Schuster contacted me and requested, “Did you ever consider writing a guide?”
Allison Kugel: The story of the way you discovered you made the New York Occasions bestseller listing is humorous.
Matt Fraser: I keep in mind I solely had one week to make the New York Occasions bestseller listing, and I assumed there isn’t any manner we’re going to make this listing. It’s a must to promote hundreds and hundreds of copies in simply at some point. I keep in mind that day coming, and I used to be preoccupied. It was the week that our son Royce was born, and I didn’t actually have time to give attention to anything. I informed my followers, “I’ve this guide popping out. When you actually need to help me, exit and purchase it.” Hastily my grandmother calls me up from Maine and says, “I went to 2 bookstores and I can’t purchase your guide. It got here out at the moment, proper?” She requested and each bookstores mentioned the copies that have been there have been already bought out. My sister calls me up and says, “Hey, I went to go purchase your guide at the moment and the shop informed me they already bought out.” All people began calling me telling me that the guide was bought out. I keep in mind saying to myself, “One thing is mistaken. One thing is off.” I referred to as Simon & Schuster and requested them, “Did my guide really come out at the moment?” They mentioned, “Sure it did.” I mentioned, “I don’t know if that is proper, however everyone seems to be telling me that it’s bought out.” Subsequent factor I bought an electronic mail saying, “Matt, congratulations! You made the New York Occasions bestseller listing.” I keep in mind I checked out [my wife] Alexa and began crying. To at the present time, it provides me goosebumps.
Allison Kugel: You have been raised a Catholic. Are you continue to a working towards Catholic? The rationale I ask is as a result of I do know that the Catholic Church doesn’t consider in connecting with the Different Facet. Have you ever skilled any spiritual discrimination due to your profession?
Matt Fraser: I feel it will depend on the individual, to be sincere with you. I’ll be sincere with you, I’ve had clergymen come to me, and I’ve had nuns come to me. I gained’t let you know who they’re, however I’ve had them come to me and get readings. I keep in mind the primary time two nuns got here to my occasion. I used to be so nervous, as a result of I assumed they have been going to guage me and the work I used to be doing, despite the fact that I do all the things with God. I’m very sturdy in my faith. I consider in Jesus. I consider within the Archangels. I pray to them each single night time. So, after I noticed two nuns present up at my occasion I assumed, “Oh my God, right here we go. It’s going to be throughout.” They got here as much as me and I mentioned to them, “I’m shocked you’re right here. Are you aware what occasion you might be coming to?” They mentioned, “We love the work that you’re doing and we needed to come.” That was refreshing to me, as a result of I spotted that it wasn’t a complete group. It will depend on the individual. That was one thing I wanted to listen to at first of my journey as a medium.
Allison Kugel: Why do you suppose during the last twenty years, and positively during the last decade, there may be an avalanche of curiosity in connecting with the Different Facet and studying about the place we go from right here? Why now?
Matt Fraser: A few completely different causes. Again within the day we weren’t allowed to speak about it. A long time in the past, I might by no means be speaking to you proper now. It simply wouldn’t occur. We had superb pioneers like John Edward and James Van Praagh who actually paved the way in which for me to talk about my items. In addition they paved the way in which for different folks to speak about their experiences. We now have social media platforms like TikTok, Fb, Instagram and YouTube the place you’ll be able to go and be your personal voice. You may inform your story. Individuals don’t need to be quiet anymore. They will share their experiences. My grandmother couldn’t speak about this. My grandmother was a medium, however she saved it hidden for years and years. My very own grandfather didn’t even know she was a medium, as a result of she was afraid of being ostracized again then. Individuals would name you loopy. Now, with the assistance of social media and the Web folks can speak about it. I additionally seen that when the world modified throughout the pandemic all people began speaking about this. Once you undergo one thing like that and everyone seems to be passing round you, instantly there may be concern and uncertainty. Everyone knows someone that handed from [Covid]. It introduced up questions of What if? Is there one other life after this? Is my [deceased] beloved one okay? Through the pandemic, I can’t let you know the hundreds of people that reached out to me for solutions, and that’s the reason I began writing my guide, We By no means Die. So many individuals write to me and say, “Your guide has helped me in so many various methods, and I’m so grateful for that.”
Allison Kugel: Clarify the guide’s title, We By no means Die.
Matt Fraser: After we lose a beloved one, we see demise as everlasting. What I actually need to present folks is that it’s not. It’s only a transition. There are two variations of us. There’s a bodily model that you simply see each single day, and deep inside us there may be one other model of us, and it’s referred to as our soul. It’s the power model of us, and that’s actually essential as a result of your soul is the second model of you. You is perhaps lacking a finger or lacking a toe. You might need points along with your hair or your enamel or no matter, however your soul stays intact. After we move on we depart our bodily physique right here, however our soul transitions on and we don’t lose ourself. After we move on, we nonetheless have an look. We seem like we do, simply with out sickness, with none of the challenges that we had all through life. For instance, for those who misplaced a finger or a toe, you might be put again collectively in heaven.
Allison Kugel: Have you ever, your self, ever had an NDE (close to demise expertise)?
Matt Fraser: No, I’ve not. Everybody all the time thinks that I’ve had one, being a medium, however no. I’ve talked to those who have had a close to demise expertise, however I’ve by no means had one myself. I don’t suppose I need to. I’m so related to the Different Facet, I don’t want any extra experiences (snigger).
Allison Kugel: Do you suppose time journey is feasible on this earth? And do you suppose that each human passes at their divine time, or can an individual move prematurely?
Matt Fraser: I feel folks can positively move prematurely. I feel in sure circumstances, like when somebody takes their very own life, it’s untimely. I’ve had souls come by to me and say they regretted it. I’ve had these readings the place souls will come by, who’ve taken their very own life they usually realized, “Oh my God, I shouldn’t have completed this, as a result of I may have completed this, this, and this.” They noticed that there was a lot to their life that they might have had, however they ended it early. What spirit tries to indicate us is that once we are right here on this world and going by a problem like a divorce, a well being battle, a psychological battle or no matter, you’ll be able to’t see the sunshine on the finish of the tunnel and that’s what is so exhausting. Your family members in spirit don’t fear as a result of they know that you’ll be okay. As people, we have to do a greater job of not stressing a lot and realizing that this too shall move.
Allison Kugel: Being that point just isn’t linear outdoors of this 3D bodily world right here on earth, do you suppose time journey is feasible?
Matt Fraser: I consider in all the things and nothing. I feel something is feasible. I’m certain there needs to be a manner. I can let you know this; souls can completely journey again in time to see issues. I keep in mind being somewhat child and watching these futuristic films on Disney the place they’d use the tablets to speak to 1 one other. I used to say to myself, “That may be so cool. Think about if you are able to do that.” I assumed it was the shit when the primary shade flip telephone got here out, by no means did I ever suppose that video chatting could be potential. When that first got here out it blew our minds, and now it’s a part of our on a regular basis lives. So, do I feel it may occur? Completely.
Allison Kugel: Is Meet the Frasers resuming?
Matt Fraser: Meet the Frasers ended throughout the pandemic, sadly, as a result of we couldn’t movie. We have been all preparing for Season 2 after which the pandemic hit. However what we did do is have a continuation of our story, as a result of everybody was asking what occurred for the reason that pandemic? We have been very fortunate to accomplice with Studio 71 and do a Fb particular referred to as The Frasers Plus One, which takes you thru the pandemic up till the start of our son Royce.
Allison Kugel: Any new tv tasks for you?
Matt Fraser: There are all the time TV tasks within the works, fortunately. Between touring and the guide writing, and filming for various TV tasks, it’s been a journey. I took a while away for a short while as a result of I wished to spend time with my household and with our son, Royce, and I feel the pandemic was one thing I personally wanted for somewhat bit simply to go and loosen up and get again into the zone. I’m now able to get again on the market.
