Tom Cain BeAwake

My name is Tom Cain. I am a retired entrepreneur with a longtime passion for spiritual awakening and deepening. Humanity is at an unprecedented time in its evolution, and there has never been a more crucial time for individuals to realize their true nature. I created this website to help those who might benefit from what I have experienced and realized.

This website is a resource for those who are ready to explore their own spirituality and potential for spiritual awakening based on research. Recent scientific discoveries and the Information Age provide a wealth of data never before available for spiritual exploration. I have analyzed this information extensively, and some of it is available for you on this website in the form of books, organizations, videos, and websites. May you experience more love, peace and joy as you learn about and deepen into your spiritual nature.

A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound experience that happens to a person whose physical body is deeply traumatized or close to death and whose consciousness then leaves the body temporarily.

It is estimated that one in twenty people have had an NDE. As a result of the significant number of people reporting these experiences, a number of scientific studies have been completed and published. Anyone with a fear of death would be well-served to learn about such truly amazing experiences.

An Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) is an inherent part of the Near-Death Experience, which is an unexpected incident. There is another kind of OBE that is intentionally planned by someone who is skilled at projecting their consciousness out of their physical body. This activity is known as astral projection. Accounts of the adventures into non-physical realms by people who are skilled in astral projection are most extraordinary.

Reincarnation is the belief that the spirit or soul of a living being begins a new life in a different body after biological death. Based on a 2021 Pew Research Center report, 33% of U.S. adults believe in reincarnation.

The first major study of reincarnation was conducted by Dr. Ian Stevenson. His fourteen books documenting his international fieldwork authenticated the evidence of three thousand cases of children who remembered their past lives.

Reincarnation was taught in early Christianity; however, it was effectively banned by Roman Emperor Justinian I in 543 CE.

A medium acts as a midway point between the worlds of the living and the dead. One who acts as a medium receives information from the spirit or soul of a departed person, which the medium then conveys to a living person (commonly a relative or friend) who often is actively seeking this communication. The increased media coverage of popular mediums has led to greater public awareness and acceptance of mediumship in recent years.

The sooner we make peace with death, the less frightened we will be when we confront it. It’s been said that a person can’t be fully alive and have a fear of death. As we become more comfortable with death, we become more comfortable with life.

The Death and Dying resource page introduces deathbed visions, after-death contacts, self-care during the grieving process, and managing care for the dying.
