ABOUT ANDREW
Andrew was born in Denver, Colorado, the son of Vern and Edye Overlee. Vern, who communicated with spirit for most of his life, helped Andrew to be aware of his spirit family so they could teach him how to fulfill his written destiny as an instrument for healing energy. At the age of seven, Andrew experienced his first semi-trance healing. This began his development as a physical trance medium.

Mediumship is an inherent element of the spirit, and it enables the human thought pattern to interact and greet “entities of passings.” This process takes place when the soul of the medium and the soul of the entity being contacted come together by using the medium’s middle conscious. For this to happen, Andrew must allow his mind to become completely blank. At the same time, he must use his brain to calm the body to feel very light, where the breathing becomes shallow and the body feels a sense of freedom, almost like an out-of-body experience. In turn, this allows the entity coming through to use the body, mind, and brain in full protection, allowing no harm to come to the medium.

Mediumship, in any form, is not achieved in an “overnight finding.” It is an eternal work. It does not just last in the physical body; it lasts throughout eternity. Once this work has been granted, through choice and free will, one will obtain the ability to contact the ethereal world.

Andrew allows his family in spirit to speak through him, utilizing his voice and body. When in a deep trance state, spirit comes through using a different manner of speech, tone, and voice. His spirit family changes the molecular structure of Andrew’s thought patterns, which enables them to provide information from the ethereal world to the physical plane.

Since development of physical trance mediumship is a very extensive procedure, it requires many years to attain a full trance state. It has taken Andrew more than thirty-five years to accomplish the state of mind and pattern of thought to be at peace so spirit can work through him on a full-time basis.

Since a young child, Andrew has seen energies involving remarkable healing methods that have been used to help many people as well as spirit manifestations, colors, and visions. Andrew’s complete understanding of his spirit friends and the ethereal world is most extensive, and his common-sense approach to his mediumship involves peace and love, which are in compliance to his family in spirit.

As Andrew says, “There is no school or training course to become a full trance medium, as this is a part of one’s written destiny, a commitment to uphold the sanctity of life with one's spirit family. We all choose our destiny, our work in this physical life; and we choose the way in which to pursue our spiritual commitment. Whether we are aware of spirit or not, they are always contacting us through our intuition, helping and guiding us in our everyday lives. The only question is—Are we listening?”

In 1986, Andrew’s life became complete when he met his partner in life, his beloved wife, Tamara. Together, Andrew and Tamara hold very dear to their hearts this life’s work with their spirit family, who has chosen to work through them to help bring peace, love, and equality to all humankind.


ABOUT TAMARA
Tamara is a devoted, semi-trance medium for automatic writing. She also dedicates her time to the work of spiritual healing and counseling. Throughout her life, she has experienced many things with the work of spirit. Her first love of spirit began as a young child and continued to develop along with her passion for the world of music and dance. During this time, she allowed her mind and body to experience color and sound, which helped her to understand her connection to the spirit world. With her spirit guides and loved ones, she was able to show her gratitude for what was given to her, the work of spirit through the world of dance. She was very aware of entities from the ethereal world throughout her childhood years.

Born in Canton, Ohio, Tamara grew up in a nurturing home with her mother, father, and brother. Even though her family did not speak about the world of spirit, her inner knowing sensed the guidance and support from her spirit family.

Tamara had many experiences that strengthened her knowledge about the ethereal world. One situation happened when her friends in spirit saved her physical life. She was driving on a busy six-lane highway, approaching a red light. Her body became weak, and her vision became blurry. She passed out just before the light, and when awakened a few seconds later, she heard a voice that said, “Breathe deeply, you will be fine.” Tamara instantly knew that one of her guides was watching over her, as it was not her time to pass on.

After graduation from high school, Tamara went to New York to expand upon her dance. She continued to experience the guidance and protection of her family in spirit. At one point in her life, there was a four-month period, where she viewed beautiful color every night. It began one evening looking like a waterfall of color, trickling down an antique dresser—first one color, and then another would continue dispersing in the same pattern. At times, these colors would appear as one vibrant color, which would fill her room. Sometimes the room would be the brightest white she had ever seen, and at other times, there would be a beautiful golden frame in front of her that would reveal glimpses of people in the spirit world. This experience, along with many others, was very cherished, for which she will be forever grateful.

As Tamara says, “Be aware that you are being guided each day from your friends in spirit. Cherish them as you cherish yourself. Thank them for helping you with your physical life’s journey. The day-to-day experiences are so vast, and each one is a valuable lesson that will continually benefit your personal growth. Live in honesty to yourself and all others so it is easier for your spirit family to work through your intuition in a more precise manner. Be open-minded; honor the integrity within. Allow the blessed moments to be in harmony of the mind and soul, for this way of life gives the essence of pure joy and unconditional love—to understand the equality of all humankind.”


OUR DEVOTION: Andrew and Tamara
Communication with the spirit world is a fact scientifically proven by the phenomena of divine metaphysics. We affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continues with the passing or transition process to the ethereal world. We affirm that the gift of healing, which is granted within a written destiny, is a divine attribute proven through mediumship. The natural laws of the spirit world: love, truth, honesty, humility, and gratitude are the expression of infinite wisdom.

The people in Andrew and Tamara’s entire spirit family have earned their positions in the ethereal world and have continued their healing practices to dedicate their total existence to helping mankind. They consist of a group of doctors, scientists, researchers, writers, and philosophers who have one common goal—to teach: love, truth, honesty, humility and gratitude to the world; the importance of this earth plane in relating the lessons to be nurtured for the development of the soul so one will be prepared for transition; how the spiritual connection to energy can change the course of humankind; the unremitting truth that realizing the equality of all souls will be a righteous way to ensure everlasting peace.

Andrew has been developed since a young child to be a physical trance medium, an instrument for healing energy. His extensive knowledge of the ethereal world and the many years of development enable him to go into a full trance state, allowing his spirit family to work through his physical body.

Tamara is a semi-trance medium for automatic writing. She also dedicates her time to spiritual counseling and assists with all healing and guidance sessions.

Andrew and Tamara met in 1986, and they began their work with spirit “sitting” for their sessions on a regular basis. During the very first session, there were three people that came through Andrew to speak to Tamara. The first was Clara, one of her guides, who related information to her that was unknown to Andrew. This information completely affirmed the validity of Andrew’s mediumship. The second person was Andrew’s guide, Bobby, who explained the devotion he had to Andrew in helping him throughout his life. The last person, who did not give a name, explained that in their work Tamara and Andrew would heal, heal and heal—teach, teach and teach—write, write and write.”

Tamara knew of Andrew’s mediumship as an instrument for healing energy and realized that all are teachers by just comforting another soul or imparting a skill. At this time, neither Tamara nor Andrew had any writing experience. Spirit told her that she would be the writer, as this was part of her written destiny; and they had full trust in her to not alter any of their words. She would take full responsibility for this gift without taking the credit and would realize the great love for mankind that would be given through their words.

Then on May 4th, 1989, the writings began with the goal to help all humankind understand the purpose of this physical life in order to prepare for the joyous day of passing to the ethereal world. Tamara committed herself wholeheartedly and became developed to understand on a deeper level her connection to her family in spirit. There were many articles written and many teachings given to her throughout this time. Within four months, writing three to four times per week, a 503-page book titled, The World of Love and Spirit, came through in automatic writing.

The devotion to help mankind, the cherished writings, the healing and spiritual counseling, and the ongoing wisdom from spirit have given enduring growth to Andrew and Tamara and continues with their work today.
