"A deeply meaningful read for anyone curious about the soul’s purpose...An absolutely breathtaking awe-inspiring book."

Based on a true story 
'The Traveler and the Soul' is directly inspired by the shared-death experience Wes Filleman had with his grandmother while in meditation as she transitioned to the other side. Wes saw his grandmother meet his grandfather that passed in 1992 and was shown a series of messages about life, love, and why we're here. 

Wes felt like he needed to tell this story and picked an illustrated book to share what he saw.

What is in the book? 
The illustrated book starts with the fictional Traveler's story based heavily on the shared-death experience Wes had with his grandmother. After the Traveler's illustrated story, Wes includes the full true story of what actually happened over his two meditation sessions.

What is the fictional story about? 
The Traveler is not sure where he is going, but he remembers from where he came. As he floats along in the great peaceful void, memories of lives past are replaced with magical scenes of this strange and beautiful world in-between.

The Traveler’s journey takes an unexpected turn as he is pulled along silver strands of Love into another world. When he finds himself in a hospital room, he is confused. But there is more to this room than meets the eye.

In this dreamy story of worlds between lives, the Traveler explores his past, present, and future. And, with the helping hand of another dear soul, he just may find his way.

Will the Traveler finally be ready to embark on the ultimate journey?

Shared-death Experience (SDE)

A shared-death experience (SDE), is an experience in which loved ones, caregivers, or people in the proximity of the dying person feel they are sharing the dying person’s transition to an afterlife. This is different than a near-death experience where the experience is told from someone who was close to passing, but came back.

I Have Traveled Too

My earliest memory of "being connected" was around age 10. The Traveler and The Soul is an amazing work of Wesley's experience with death. I love this story and it so aligns with all my personal experiences with death and other human experience readings I have also read. It is not just possible, it is ALL THINGS PROBABLE. One must learn to be open. We who are aware of our Human Experience and are also connected to all things "soulful" appreciate you sharing your meditation experience.

Love and confirmation.

This book popped up on my fb during a time I need confirmation on what I was experiencing with my mother's passing. I true love this book.

This is an Amazing book!

This is a book that is beautifully written and beautifully illustrated. The letters on the pages actually "float", which is right in line with the story line itself. I thought the true story that followed the book was totally fascinating and very, very believable. This is one I will treasure.

A Gift of Kindness and Reassurance

What do I think? First, it is thought-provoking. I have read it several times, and I spend a lot of time thinking about the Traveler and his/her journey each time.

My husband, Gary, died two months before Grandma Doris died. Since then, I have read so many books about grief, and, especially, books about near-death experiences. I want so much to believe that my husband's transition was like the Traveler's: peaceful, joyful, immersed in love, causing "his light to start shining brilliantly". I so desperately want to believe that Gary is waiting for me, just like Grandma Doris's husband waited for her.

Since Gary died, I have tried to learn to meditate. I am determined to learn, although I am also resistant. I have never heard of mediation possibilities as intense and otherworldly as the type you experienced during Doris's transition. That realization led me to Thomas Campbell and his binaural beats. It is hard to grasp that out-of-body concept, which I am not ready for yet. Nevertheless, it is certainly thought-provoking.

I am grateful for your book because it assures me that Gary is in a wonderful place. I just wish we humans could rejoice in absolute confirmation that this is true.

Thank you for gently nudging me on my journey as I learn how to live without the man I love.. Thank you for helping me to visualize the transition process. Thank you for reassuring me that death is a fantastic miracle.

Yours is an excellent book that will help so many people. It's a gift of kindness and reassurance, such essential elements for healing.

May your book spread far and wide
