After This Life, More Work 
Spirit medium Tatiana Elmanovich on your next job 

by Victor Infante 
 
 
When the collapsing Soviet government began a frantic, last-minute crackdown 
on radicals in the Baltic film community, Estonian film critic Tatiana 
Elmanovich fled for the United States. Settling in Orange County in 1989, she 
began writing a story to thank the people who helped her escape. She says 
thatâ^À^Ùs when she began communicating with spirits. 

Now 65 and living in Costa Mesa, she chronicles the story of her escape and 
subsequent spiritual conversations in her book, Death: The Beginning. 

OC Weekly: It seems odd to find a spirit medium who spent her formative years 
under Soviet rule.

Tatiana Elmanovich: Marxism is clearly not a spiritual teaching. But we who 
lived there saw how a materialistic ideology brought a country to ruin. We 
saw it as fact, not theory. America is also a very materialistic country. 
America has its own problemsâ^À^ÔI can see them very clearly [laughs]â^À^Ôbut 
America has a church on every corner. You can believe this or you can believe 
that; in America, itâ^À^Ùs up to you. 

But it was not originally up to me. In Estonia, I was pressured to deny God 
three times a day. It was all forbiddenâ^À^Ôand all forbidden fruit is very 
sweet. Later, we had a wonderful leader named [Leonid] Brezhnev. He loved 
good suits and good cigars. He was a womanizer. And when he became sick, he 
turned to alternative healing, and it was the famous Juna from Georgia who 
healed him. In our totalitarian country, we have a power pyramid, and when 
Brezhnev called Juna to heal him, quietlyâ^À^Ôaround every cornerâ^À^Ôa large 
psychic study started to emerge. 

Did that change things politically?

We all knew that there was something. All this psychic stuff meant spiritual 
freedom. I got to meet a lot of the top Russian psychics and started to study 
astrology. Astrology turns out to be not so innocent a thing. Once you are 
in, youâ^À^Ùre in. Youâ^À^Ùre in touch with energies, and you start to evolve. 

Did your interest in psychic phenomena help your transition to life here?

When I came here, I looked around for local psychics. I came here with zero 
English, and I needed help to be capable to learn because age is an obstacle 
to learning. Out of thankfulness, I began to write a story about the people 
who helped me, especially the people who astounded me with their strong 
psychic abilities. All of a sudden, it started to go and go, and I started to 
receive my own messages. 

Describe the first one. 

The first clear and undeniable message came from an Estonian artist who was 
killed while I was over here. I knew him a little bit. I was typing a common 
letter in English, and I heard in Estonian, very politely, "They donâ^À^Ùt hear 
me. Can I ask you to tell my friends not to dwell in mourning, to go ahead 
with the production because this is their single chance to put a foot in a 
theatrical career? If they drop the chance, they may have lost it forever."

What did that mean to you?

He was begging for his friends. He gave me a name to contact, and this 
happens to be my deadly enemy, who was connected to many things. She knew 
everyone and everything. Iâ^À^Ùve had eight or nine years with no contact with 
her. But if she will approach these guys, [I know] theyâ^À^Ùll believe her. I 
knew she would think I was crazy, and she didâ^À^Ôbut who cares? 

It turned out that she was drinking coffee with the artist the day before he 
was killed. And they had been discussing how to evolve the production because 
she was involved with itâ^À^Ôsomething I did not know. But she accepted my 
message, so I thought, "I did my part." 

And then?

And then a lot of messages began to come throughâ^À^Ômy uncle, my father. I said, 
"Okay, I may be crazy"because the pressure was very bigâ^À^Ôbut at the same time, 
I donâ^À^Ùt know what Godâ^À^Ùs plan is for me. So I began to receive intense 
messages from over there, that death was an illusion. 

What is death, then?

According to what I received, itâ^À^Ùs like jumping out of your body. My 
uncleâ^À^Ôwho died of cancerâ^À^Ôtold me, "I was walking, and all of a sudden, I 
felt very clean. I wanted to tell my wife and family that I was healed, and 
then I realized that I wasnâ^À^Ùt here anymore." 

The body feels pain; the body feels fear. The body doesnâ^À^Ùt want to die. The 
body wants to keep itself. And we cannot distinguish between body fear and 
spiritual life in us. 

So why do these spirits return to this world? 

According to them, they come back because there are problems that are easier 
to work out here than there. It all comes down to the fact that physical laws 
of frequency are very easy to distinguish on Earth because Earth has a matter 
resistance. For instance, if you explode something here on Earth, it will 
extinguish itself very fast. Over there, the resistance of matter is near 
zero, so if something explodes over there, it will not extinguish. Thatâ^À^Ùs why 
a nuclear war will never develop here: the spirits in the next dimension will 
not allow it. There is very much interference from the next dimension because 
a nuclear explosion here will never be extinguished there. A nuclear 
explosion on Earth will destroy all the next levels. 

What is life like for the spirit?

Now, the moment we die, our memory becomes very good. Here, we work 
physically; there, we think. Everything there powers mental work. Emotional 
stuff, everything weâ^À^Ùve done, becomes pictures around us. We create out of 
our emotional patterns a world around us. We are not sent to hell; we bring 
our lives with us. Some of us come back because we hope to get rid of some of 
it here. To make the soul lighter, to get rid of the negative qualities. 
Nothing counts but the weight of the soul. The lighter the soul the better. 

What makes a soul heavy? 

Killing someone. Taking someoneâ^À^Ùs money. But also sadness, depressionâ^À^Ôthese 
things are equal, in theory, to killing other people; they also make your 
soul heavy. We pack in anger, disagreement, and if we donâ^À^Ùt know how to get 
rid of that stuff, it becomes our baggage. Our spirit guides are here to help 
us do away with negativity. 

I have been told by some readers that "It is Satan talking to you." But one 
of my grandfathers was a Russian priest, and he was very much against 
spiritualism. Nevertheless, he came through in a séance to ask meâ^À^Ôbecause he 
said my baggage was very bigâ^À^Ôto pray for my enemies. And look what happens: I 
came home and I tried. Within three minutes, I had no enemies. 

Something happens when the energy comes in, and the problem is suddenly not a 
problem. Itâ^À^Ùs amazing. They are really coming to help us. Within days, my 
list of enemies was almost gone. Thatâ^À^Ùs not Satan talking.
