          For more than 
            30 years, Robert Murray (AKA Bob or Father 
            Murray) has been communicating with "people" who have 
            crossed over. Before he channels, he mentally sets up 
            psychic protection for himself. He then sits down at his 
            computer in his home where he receives the messages. 
            When he receives messages from Michael, Nancy, Elvis or 
            anyone else, he tunes in and types their messages on the 
            computer. He could be called a receiver. He has to find the 
            correct station and there has to be some 
            fine tuning. He hears voices and sees pictures. An interaction 
            takes place. He is conscious and quite aware of his 
            surroundings while he writes. During his conversations with 
            the "people," he sees them in their surroundings and senses 
            
            their feelings and emotions while they speak. All this comes 
            through him and is recorded by him. He has developed the 
            ability to slow down the messages and write them accurately. 
            This is not automatic writing, but rather transcribing what he 
            actually hears. He has also written a book containing a 
            diary of messages from his son-in-law, Michael who 
            is one of the subjects in this e-book.

          Michael
            
          Michael (Mike), 
            Robert's son-in-law, crossed over in 1997. 
            On Earth, Michael was a very unselfish person. He idolized 
            Elvis and was an Elvis impersonator. He loved to sing. 
            He loved to tell funny stories and jokes, and his sense 
            of humor shines through in his messages to this side. 
            Besides what he contributes to this e-book, Michael has 
            sent other messages which are published in the book 
            The Stars Still Shine: An Afterlife Journey and at 
            www.TheStarsStillShine.com. To have a much better 
            understanding of who Michael is, we encourage you to read

            Messages of Travel & Adventure
            The following is a series of messages from Michael about an Earth-like 
            planet called Umbartt. In spirit, Michael visits Umbartt and gives 
            a very detailed description of the 
            people, lifestyles, cities, housing and geography.

            Editor's Note: Nancy is a "housekeeper" as is Pemby and 
            
            they help Michael in his residence in Heaven. His residence 
            is called Sussex. The story is written in a diary form.

            Michael: "Hi! 
            Nancy arrived this morning. I went down for 
            breakfast (Sonny too) and was introduced to Nancy. She is 
            a very attractive young lady with deep blue-green eyes. 
            I think she is a lady. Pemby said that Nancy wasn't originally 
            from the Earth. (She looks like an Earthling.)
            
            Nancy took over from Pemby. She told us lots of exciting 
            news. I remember what she said. She had never spent any 
            of her time on Earth. She originally came from another 
            planet. She said that the people of her planet were very 
            similar to the people on Earth, from what she could discover. 
            She had 'died' on her planet and went on to other places. 
            When she was offered a place in our location, she took it. 
            She is like an exchange student. She didn't use words to 
            explain all this, but used telepathy. I understood her 
            perfectly. She understands languages, but prefers to 'talk' 
            through telepathy. She told us she was female of the 
            species on her planet. There are females and males. They 
            don't have any 'space ships' because they travel astrally 
            at instant speeds. She still can visit her home even though 
            her physical body was destroyed. She told us that she was 
            65 of Earth years when she died accidentally. I must have 
            said something in my head like, 'You're the best looking 
            65 year old I've seen in a long time.' She smiled and thought 
            a thank you. Her life span would normally have been 125 
            years with some living on past 150. She assured us that 
            she was not a thought form. She had taken back her years 
            to when she was 25 of Earth years.
            
            Their years were a rough average of our years. She said 
            that in many ways their planet parallels Earth. They 
            resented being called Aliens and other weird names. They 
            had never captured any Earthlings for any reason and were 
            afraid of the Earthling's attitude toward anything that 
            didn't come from Earth. She said that her planet had it's 
            share of problems, but it was a lot more peaceable than 
            Earth. There were arguments and disagreements, but not wars. 
            Sonny asked her where her planet was in relation to Earth. 
            All she thought about then was 'aim for Orion and turn right.' 
            Not exactly detailed directions, but we got the general 
            direction. Sonny asked for the name of the planet. She 
            said that the name didn't translate into thought or words, 
            but she did give us a picture of her planet. What I saw 
            was a blue-green planet. It looked to me to be slightly 
            smaller than Earth, but it was hard to tell because we had 
            nothing to compare it to. Their planet had three moons 
            going around it. Their energy was from a bright star, a sun. 
            There were other planets revolving around their sun. She 
            showed us mental close ups of the land and water. It was 
            so much like Earth that I thought someone was playing an 
            elaborate joke. She caught my surprise. She showed us 
            some cities so we could compare them to Earth. There was 
            a big difference. Some cities were so bright that they 
            hurt your eyes. The buildings were beautiful, all made 
            of glass or crystal. The walls of the buildings changed 
            colors as we watched. I could see people moving around 
            inside the buildings. We were somewhat limited as to how 
            much we could see because Nancy wanted to get on with her 
            thought speech. She said that she would show us more some 
            other time. She wanted to explain building details and 
            life details on her planet. She came here to see how we 
            lived and would be able to report to her folks (who were 
            still alive). She said that very few of the people of her 
            planet even know about Earth. Pemby was very quiet all 
            this time. Nancy is about 5' 8" tall. She has dark red 
            hair, blue-green eyes and a very good figure. A very 
            attractive lady. Nancy said that she would 'talk' to us 
            about her planet if we would tell her about Earth. While 
            we had breakfast, she sat at another table (in the kitchen) 
            drinking some kind of liquid through a straw. I asked her 
            what she was drinking. She smiled and said the word 'milk' 
            aloud. We all laughed.
            
          I 
            found it hard to leave for the D.R. I wanted to find out 
            more about this planet. I had so many questions. Really, 
            unbelievable! But it's true as far as I know.
            
            One thing I know Pemby doesn't do is tell lies. She'll 
            change the answers around or won't say anything, but she 
            won't lie. I asked her point blank. 'Is all of this true?'
            
            She said, 'Yes, most definitely.'
            
          So 
            there it is a new planet and new people. We were told 
            that we shouldn't spread the word around in Town or anywhere 
            else over here. So both Sonny and I swore that we wouldn't 
            tell anyone. Sonny asked if it was okay to tell Father 
            Murray and we got a yes! Nancy wasn't here (at Sussex) this 
            afternoon. Of course, I asked Pemby if Nancy was a real 
            person or what? Pemby said that Nancy was real and would be 
            back in a short while. She was over at Diana's house talking 
            to Margaret.
            
            Pemby told me that the closest translation for the name of 
            the planet is Umbartt. It really didn't translate all that 
            well. Their language was not the same as Earth and there 
            wasn't our alphabet to compare. Pemby explained that music 
            was dominant, as well as math in their communication. 
            Everything was related to a harmonic scale.
            
            Wow! Quite a bit to take in for one day. I'll certainly 
            find out more.
            
            Bye for now.
            
            Love to all, Mike."

            Michael: "Nancy is just as spooky as Pemby. She appears 
            with Pemby with additional food, drink or things I think 
            I need. I never have to ask. Anyway, the interesting 
            thing is that Nancy can arrange a trip for me. I think it 
            can be arranged. Oh! The trip is to her home planet. 
            How about that, a space trip, I think. I don't know how 
            it's going to be done. I just know that she said she would 
            arrange it. I know that she died on her planet and she said 
            that she is not in her life form, but in her space form. 
            I guess we won't be traveling by rocket ship or space ship. 
            She did say that it was about time her people saw an Earthling. 
            So maybe I'll add Space Ranger to my name. Well, not yet. 
            I told Sonny that he had better not go to Umbartt. They 
            might get the idea that Earthlings were wizened up old 
            farts and that would be the end of things. 
            
            Sonny had a comeback for that one. 'You think they want to 
            see a cheeky young fart instead? Get real Michael. Queen Nancy 
            will choose the most worthy space cadet. So I'll tell you all 
            about the trip when I get back.'
            
            So I guess Nancy will tell us what's happening soon. I'll 
            let you know as soon as I know. Exciting stuff.
            
            Love to all, Mike"
