From Information Overload to Awakening

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / Leave a comment

What if the Information Age became the Enlightenment Age?

Every day, we scroll through facts, headlines, algorithms, and noise. But beneath it all, many of us are quietly searching—not just for information, but for meaning. For truth. For Connection. For a new way of being in community and in business. For something that reminds us we’re more than consumers, more than productivity stats, more than fear.

If love is what matters most from our time here—and I believe it is—then the technology we’ve built should reflect that love. It should connect us to the divine, not distract us from it. Imagine a digital world where more energy is spent spreading peace than outrage. Where our content feeds our souls instead of feeding our anxiety.

Fear is growing—especially among the young. One in three children today meets the criteria for an anxiety disorder. And who can blame them? They see what many adults try to deny: disconnection, environmental destruction, division, and despair. They tell me it feels overwhelming. That they aren’t sure how to help. We need to listen—and learn from them.

Here’s the miracle: they also hold the solution. Many of them are already wired for greater empathy, higher sensitivity, and a longing for truth. They just need guidance—safe space, sacred grounding, and reminders that they are deeply loved and divinely connected.

We all need that.


The Source is still here—in every time, in every generation. It’s as free and accessible as sunlight. No subscription required. And when we tap into it—through nature, meditation, breath, beauty, compassion—we become the light the world needs.

What if every digital scroll was also a blessing?
What if every post was a chance to awaken someone’s heart?
What if love and awakening went viral?

It starts with us. Let this age of information become something greater—an age of intention, insight, and illumination.

And to all the podcasters, YouTubers, healers, and quiet creators who are sharing messages of peace, insight, and love: thank you. You’re helping this shift happen. One story, one interview, one post at a time—you’re offering people something real in a world full of noise.

If this spoke to your heart, share it. Light travels fastest when passed from soul to soul.

Coast to Coast Interview, Midnight in the Desert, and Sunny in Seattle

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 3 Comments

I’ve had a fun week of interviews with three amazing radio show hosts. I am grateful for the interview with George Noory on Coast to Coast AM earlier this week, and I wanted to say a few things to the callers who had questions for me.

First of all, thank you for sharing your experiences.  I was moved by your stories. I would love to answer more of your questions and connect you with other experiencers and researchers at The Second Annual Online Near-Death Experience Summit.  Please check out this online event if you are interested in near-death experiences and near-death experience research.

Secondly, there was a woman who called in who was searching for her purpose and had been through many hardships.  I didn’t have much time to meditate on her situation, but I saw that on an energetic level that she is giving away too much of her personal energy. Matt Kahn’s latest video titled “You Are The Way” might help her and other empaths find a better balance between taking care of their own needs and caring for this world.

Also, a man called in who recently lost his brother.  I didn’t have time for a full reading, but I hope he might consider reading Annie Kagan’s book The Afterlife of Billy Fingers. From what I hear from my father and others in the afterlife, there is much learning that can still be done after death. There is much light, love and understanding that can occur in the afterlife. Healing between family members can occur even after a death, so do not give up on the light of understanding, forgiveness, and release.

If you aren’t familiar with Sunny in Seattle, you can listen to my episode with her and some of her other interviews.  She asked great questions about my book that I haven’t been asked before, and she asked me about my work with Lisa Smartt and Raymond Moody on The Second Annual Online Near-death Experience Summit.  Here are two video clips from Lisa Smartt and Raymond Moody’s talks.

I also really enjoyed my interview with Dave Schrader on Midnight in the Desert

Thanks for the calls from across the country.  I especially loved hearing about your own out-of-body experiences and spiritually transformative moments.  Many blessings to you all!

 

Angels in the OR Launched Yesterday!

Hey Everyone!

Thanks so much for making my launch day fun by letting me know that you stayed up late reading  Angels in the OR or listening to the book on Audible.

I mean it when I say that my favorite part of this journey is connecting with you and hearing about your lives, your spiritual experiences, and your hopes for a more loving world.  I’ve interviewed many near-death experiencers the past couple of years, and I keep thinking about how Howard Storm was told by Jesus that love could spread across this planet in small moments with each other.  You simply love the person you are interacting with at any given moment. Love is the force that changes this world for the better.

I can’t wait to hear from more of you! Have a beautiful week, and if you happen to live in Sedona or near Sedona I would love to see you at my event on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 4 p.m. the Unity of Sedona.

Safe, Eternal, and Free

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 2 Comments

We are all part of love and all part of God.   We are all capable of living as love and the light of God which knows that it is always safe, eternal, and free no matter what is occurring on the physical, three-dimensional plane.

I know that the minute I left form, I forgave everything and everyone instantly.  Pain is contained in our stories and in this physical realm, but we do not have to wait to find freedom only in death.  Freedom can be found through walking in faith and practicing forgiveness.  The concept of faith seems simple, just as forgiveness does, but these feats are heroic.  To step into the unknown and believe that God will meet us at every step requires the courage of a seer who has lost sight of the future.  To be beaten down at every turn and still have faith, requires the strength of a warrior. To be betrayed, abused, neglected, wounded, and abandoned and to forgive, so that one’s own life might grow bright again, requires a terrifying amount of strength. 

For many NDErs, our mission (whether to work as ministers, teachers, healers, speakers, writers, or simply to walk through this world as love) is mainly to do our best to hold on to the memory and energy of God’s love and show others how to access this love of God.  That is what God showed me when God told me that my purpose would be to teach and remind others of their light.  Our connection to God’s love is aptly symbolized through light because light makes things clearer. 

We can all access love, healing, and peace at any time.  Anyone can have a mission focused on love.  All it requires is communion and faith in the most loving force imaginable, a love that we all need more of in our lives.

The more often I hold on to the energy and love of God, the more often I can help others access this love.   As a teacher, there were so many times that I couldn’t believe that it took so little effort on my part to open a student’s heart. All I had to do was see any one of my students– really see them, witness their struggle, and then offer some hope, not a ton of hope either, just a thread.  It takes so little effort to be kind to others, yet it makes such a major difference in the quality of their lives and our own.

Many NDErs feel disheartened about returning to form because too often people do not go out of their way to be kind.  Navigating a world of people in great pain who have forgotten their connection to light is a tough hike.  Still, I am glad that God sent me back against my wishes.  I may have suffered, I may have cried on this journey back in form, but I have stayed determined to keep pushing forward, to keep believing in the beauty of a higher calling–a calling which forces me to remember and to teach what love truly is. Love brings us great peace and moments of knowing that we are perfect just as we are.
