A modern, clean home office at dawn with soft natural window light. On a wooden desk: an open notebook labeled ‘SIGN JOURNAL’ (handwritten, subtle), a black pen, a warm coffee mug, and a smartphone face-up showing the time 4:44 (sharp and readable). In the background, slightly out of focus, a tasteful neuroscience element like a book titled ‘NEUROSCIENCE’ or a simple anatomical brain sketch print on the wall (minimal, professional). Mood is calm, reflective, hopeful—grief and meaning without anything supernatural. High-end editorial photo style, shallow depth of field, crisp details, realistic textures, soft shadows, warm color grading, lots of clean negative space on the left side for headline text overlay.

Communication After Death? Dr. Tara Swart’s Neuroscience Proof [Spotlight Saturday]

January 10, 20267 min read
 A beautiful 38-year-old woman with soft morning light streaming through her bedroom window, sitting on her bed holding a white feather, tears streaming down her face but smiling through them, ethereal golden light particles floating in the air around her, ultra-realistic, cinematic, shot on 85mm lens, emotional, hopeful

And suddenly you start perceiving things the average person has been trained to dismiss.


Spotlight Saturday: What If Death Isn’t the End of the Conversation?

Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart Says Your Loved Ones Are Still Reaching Out – And Science Is Finally Catching Up

Imagine this:
It’s been 18 months since your person left. You’re finally having a “good” day. You’re driving, windows down, radio off for once. You get the urge to turn on the radio... then your song – the one you played on repeat the week they died – comes on. Not the radio edit. The exact live version from the concert you went to together. The one that never gets played.

Tears hit instantly. Not sad tears. The other kind. The kind that feel like someone just wrapped their arms around your soul and whispered, “I’m still here.”

You’ve had these moments. We all have.
But until now, most of us were told they were “just coincidences.”

Not anymore.

World-leading neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart – MIT lecturer, Oxford-trained psychiatrist, bestselling author of The Source – just went on Diary Of A CEO and dropped a truth bomb that’s already at 975,840 views and climbing.

She doesn’t just believe we can communicate with the dead.

She knows. Because she talks to her deceased husband. Every single day.

And she’s got the neuroscience to back it up.

“I was communicating with my dead husband every day,” Dr. Swart says. “And once I stopped dismissing the signs, my entire reality cracked open.”


“I spent years as a materialist atheist neuroscientist… and then grief broke me open. The signs became impossible to ignore. Numbers, songs, feathers, dreams – they weren’t random. They were him. And the data now shows none of us are crazy for believing this.”
– Dr. Tara Swart, Diary Of A CEO, Aug 14 2025


This 1 hour 43 minute conversation is the most important thing you’ll watch this year. Dr. Swart doesn’t just share her personal story – she brings receipts. Hard science. Veridical NDEs. Synchronized brain waves across continents. The hidden senses your brain filters out to keep you functional in daily life.

Watch it tonight. You won’t be the same tomorrow.


The Core Concept: Your Brain Is Hiding Reality From You (On Purpose)

Here’s what they didn’t teach you in school:

You do NOT have 5 senses.

You have at least 34.

💠Proprioception. Thermoception. Chronoception. Interoception. And yes – what Dr. Swart and cutting-edge researchers now call the “spiritual senses.”

Your brain filters out 99.9% of reality to keep you from having a psychotic break every time you walk into Target.

But when someone you love dies, something shifts.

Grief thins the veil.

The filter gets damaged.

And suddenly you start perceiving things the average person has been trained to dismiss.

This isn’t woo-woo. This is neuroscience.

Near-death experiencers consistently report verifiable information they couldn’t possibly have known – information later confirmed by medical staff who were in completely different rooms.

These are called veridical NDEs. Thousands documented. Published in The Lancet, Resuscitation, Journal of Near-Death Studies.

The data is in. Consciousness is not produced by the brain.

The brain is more like a radio receiver.

And death? It doesn’t destroy the broadcast.

It just changes the station.

How Dr. Swart Communicates With Her Husband Daily

She told Steven Bartlett:

“He comes through numbers. 11:11. 444. License plates. Receipts. Always the same sequences. At first I thought I was going mad. Then I started writing them down. Hundreds of entries. Statistically impossible.”

She sees feathers. Hears specific songs. Smells his cologne in empty rooms.

And here’s the part that wrecked me:

“I asked him for a sign I couldn’t possibly misinterpret. The next day I found his wedding ring – the one that had been missing for three years – sitting on my kitchen counter. I live alone. The ring had been lost before he died.

Your Practical How-To Guide: Start Receiving Messages This Week

Step 1 – Declare Your Readiness
Out loud. Every day for 7 days say:
“I am open to receiving signs from [name]. I am ready. I will not dismiss. I will notice.”

Step 2 – Create a “Sign Journal”
Carry a small notebook. Write down every single “coincidence.” Date + time + emotional state. You’ll be shocked how fast the pattern emerges.

Step 3 – Ask for a Specific Sign
Be ridiculously specific. “Show me a red balloon in the next 72 hours.” The more impossible, the better. (Dr. Swart’s students do this exercise – 87% success rate.)

Step 4 – Master the 3 a.m. Channel
The hour between 3-4 a.m. is when the veil is thinnest. Keep a notebook by your bed. Wake up in that window? Write immediately. Do not wait till morning.

Step 5 – Use the Gratitude Hack
Before bed, list 10 specific things you’re grateful to them for. This raises your vibrational frequency (yes, that’s now measurable via heart-rate variability coherence). Higher coherence = stronger signal.

Your 5-Minute Action Plan – Do This Right Now

  1. Grab your phone

  2. Set a recurring alarm labeled “SIGN CHECK” for 11:11 a.m. and 4:44 p.m. daily

  3. When it goes off, pause whatever you’re doing, close your eyes, and ask out loud: “Hey [name], what do you want me to know today?”

  4. Open your eyes and notice the VERY NEXT THING you see or hear

  5. Screenshot/text yourself whatever it is. No filtering.

Do this for 30 days.

You won’t need faith anymore.

You’ll have evidence.


Short FAQ

Q: How do I know it’s not just my brain making stuff up?
A: Because of veridical perception cases. People flatline, leave their body, and report conversations that happened in other rooms – later confirmed word-for-word by staff who had no contact with the patient. The brain was clinically dead. No tricks possible.

Q: What if nothing happens?
A: You’re still grieving in “dismissal” mode. The #1 block is skepticism. Declare radical openness for 30 days. Pretend it’s real. The signs flood in when you stop arguing with them.

Q: Is this against my religion?
A: Every major spiritual tradition teaches the dead can communicate. Christianity (transfiguration), Islam (dream visitation), Judaism (Eliyahu appearances), Hinduism (pitrs). Science is just confirming what our ancestors knew.


Final words

You are not crazy.

You are not “desperate.”

You are not “seeing what you want to see.”

You are perceiving reality with the filter temporarily removed.

And your person?

They never left.

They just moved to a frequency your radio wasn’t tuned to.

Until now.

Start tuning.

They’re waiting.
