Mark Anthony

"I had years of experience as a trial attorney. I was a prosecutor, then criminal defense, and complex civil litigation. I had to work with forensics. I had to work with physicists, chemists, neurobiologists, scientists. In addition to accident reconstruction and law enforcement, it gave me a background in a wide array of science and disciplines. Plus, I was a head injury litigation specialist. When I started focusing specifically on mediumship, I realized my study of the human brain gave me the insights to help explain the physiology and scientific basis for spirit contact."

"The hardest challenge in embracing my purpose to become an evidential medium is putting up with not the skeptics but the cynics. Skepticism means that I do not believe, but if you present proof, I may be persuaded. There are people whose brains are just closed. When you approach something through the scientific method, and that is how I believe and that is my approach, we approach spiritual phenomena through the scientific method, which is objective analysis and observation. We collect the data, and we do not jump to conclusions."

"I will never forget, I was in New York City at Columbia University and I was speaking there. My book Evidence of Eternity had just come out, and there was this really big guy there, he looked like a big football player, and he stood up and started walking up to me, and he said, you saved my life. I read your book Never Letting Go, and it changed my life, and I turned myself around, and now I am back in college. I was so overcome with grief, but you gave me a reason to live. I never met this guy in person, but my words helped him."

"As I started getting older, I was drawn to the clergy, which is not an unusual thing for a medium, except I felt there were too many rules and regulations and it was too restricting. Instead of going into the clergy, I decided to become an attorney, and I jumped out of the rules and regulations frying pan right into the regulatory fire. I was drawn to the practice of law because it allowed me to help people, and also because it allowed me to use my ability to speak, write, and express myself. First and foremost, my life's purpose is helping people."

What happened after that was that within a couple of weeks I was offered a job to leave the practice of law and enter a government agency to head up their interfacing with the court system, and I knew this was not by chance. She got me a speaking engagement at Harvard University. I hung up my cell phone and looked at Rocky, and I said, I just quit the practice of law. She said, Mark, look around, where are you. I said, Harvard. She said, do not you think you are exactly where you are supposed to be."

Amazon.com: The Afterlife Frequency: The Scientific Proof of Spiritual Contact and How That Awareness Will Change Your Life: 9781608687800: Anthony, Mark, Schwartz, Gary E.: Books

"The scientific basis for spiritual contact can be found in my electromagnetic soul theory, which I write about and introduce in my book, The Afterlife Frequency. Drawing upon years of research and over 15,000 readings that I have done for people, I developed the electromagnetic soul theory. In the electromagnetic soul theory, we know that everything in the material world, at the subatomic level, is all made of the same particle of electromagnetic energy. Combining all of that, energy neither being created nor destroyed, and faith that the soul pre exists the body, I developed the electromagnetic soul theory, the EMS, which is a 21st century term to describe what we really are, pure consciousness that is eternal electromagnetic energy."

"When I discovered my purpose and passion in life would have to be when I was about four years old, because I started seeing spirits when I was around three and a half. Growing up in a family where seeing spirits was not unusual was just part of who I was. This was seen as a gift from God, and they were much more open about it."

"My parents had a fascinating background. My dad was a US Navy SEAL who became a NASA engineer, and my mother was a commercial illustrator, artist, and fashion designer. I remember when I started interacting with spirits and Mom said, oh, he has got it, and my dad's response was, oh, he has got it. My mother's maternal grandmother, Giovana, was known in the Italian community of North Jersey and New York City as the woman who knows things. In 2016, PBS did a special on Italian Americans and included an entire segment on my maternal great grandmother Giovana, referencing her psychic abilities."

"I think that service to our fellow human beings is our purpose in life. Think of our purpose in life, that we're all pebbles, and when that pebble hits the pond, the proverbial concentric circles touch other pebbles, so by being that listener that listens to another person, you do not know how the good act that you have done has touched other people, which touch other people, which touch other people. So you already know your purpose, just let it shine."

"I had years of experience as a trial attorney. I had the speaking ability, the research ability, and the practice of law. I was a prosecutor, then criminal defense, and complex civil litigation. I had to work with forensics. I had to work with physicists, chemists, neurobiologists, scientists. Plus, I was a head injury litigation specialist. When I started focusing specifically on mediumship, I realized my study of the human brain gave me the insights to help explain the physiology and scientific basis for spirit contact. Finding your purpose in life, it's already there, it's understanding what it is. It's taking the skill set that you've been given and doing the best you can with it."

"It was the elected official from the government agency, and he said, look, a particular political party is having a lot of problems with the fact that I have a psychic on staff, and somebody who talks to dead people. Suddenly I felt an inspiration, and I said to him, I will make this easy for you, consider this my resignation. He said okay. I hung up my cell phone and looked at Rocky, and I said, I just quit the practice of law. She said, Mark, look around, where are you. I said, Harvard. She said, and what are you doing in an hour. I said, giving a talk on the afterlife and signing copies of my new book. She said, do not you think you are exactly where you are supposed to be."

"When I discovered my purpose and passion in life would have to be when I was about four years old, because I started seeing spirits when I was around three and a half. It is not unusual for a toddler to see people who are not there and have invisible friends, but when Mommy and Daddy, who were both mediums, could also see them, it added a whole new dimension. I was born into a family of psychic mediums, and I have tracked this proclivity, this genetic predisposition, back into the 1890s. That is why I am known as a fourth generation psychic medium. As a psychic medium, I have to bring forth pieces of evidence transmitted to me by spirits to guarantee the authenticity of the contact and verify for the recipient that the information coming through is accurate and beneficial for them."

"The next day, I was in court and the judge's assistant came into the courtroom and said, Mark, you have a call. I knew intuitively this was not going to be good. My secretary was on the phone, she was crying. She said, your dad called, your mom died. My mother had passed in her sleep peacefully. Nonetheless, even though I am a medium and I can connect with spirits, I spiraled into this horrific depression. I pulled over to a convenience store parking lot, and I said, look, I cannot go into my office crying. Suddenly, this flash of light went off in the car. I instinctively turned to the passenger side, and I saw the silhouette of my mother in this beautiful silver white light. Her voice filled my mind's ear and said, Mark, you have the gift of mediumship so that you will not be crushed by grief, but now you must help those who are grappling with theirs. She said, Mark, your life's mission, your life's purpose, is to help people understand that God exists, that heaven, the afterlife exists, that souls are eternal living beings, that humans can communicate with souls, and that we will all be reunited in the light that you call God when it is your appointed time to leave your material world. It was as if a door not only opened, it was pulled right off the hinges and I was shoved through it."
