Speaker C:

For those of you with abilities, I have some advice for you on what to say to people who think that mediums are doing something demonic.

Speaker C:

There are many questions and so much to cover today, so stay tuned.

Speaker C:

I also wanted to touch on why I call the show the Dead Life, because many people ask, it's not the dead that I'm referencing in the title.

Speaker C:

The dead always say that we're the dead ones.

Speaker C:

They're more alive than we are.

Speaker C:

So when I call it the dead Life, that has to do with people who are grieving were the dead ones.

Speaker C:

So therefore the dead life.

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

We'll both be there.

Speaker C:

I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker C:

We, we've got some very quality people and not just accomplished people, but they're cool people and that makes me really happy to be able to say that.

Speaker C:

And they're open minded, which is just a plus.

Speaker C:

So.

Speaker C:

Right, why don't we go ahead and start with our first caller.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker D:

Hi Alison, my name is Rachel.

Speaker D:

I've been listening to your podcast for quite some time.

Speaker D:

Came across you from Charlie Goldsmith, actually.

Speaker D:

And anyhow, my question is like your daughter Sophia, I am also a photographer and my question to you is that regarding my daughter.

Speaker D:

I have a daughter.

Speaker D:

She's a toddler.

Speaker D:

I'm a single mom, and there have been times where I'm with my daughter, and it looks to me like, visually, it's just a very picturesque moment.

Speaker E:

But.

Speaker D:

But I'm by myself as a single mom, and I have nobody to, like, take a picture of us.

Speaker D:

So sometimes I'll say out loud, if there are any photographers up there in heaven, like, I know there are, could you please get a photo of my daughter and I right now?

Speaker D:

And then I kind of say, like, because I, you know, once I'm not here anymore, I want to go back and I want to look at these.

Speaker D:

I'm wondering, is this something that is, like, you know, reasonable with the other side?

Speaker D:

I'm just curious if it is, because I've said it.

Speaker D:

Since my daughter's been, like, born.

Speaker D:

I had two miscarriages before her.

Speaker D:

Unfortunately, I didn't have a baby shower or, like, any photos professionally taken of my daughter and myself.

Speaker D:

And so, yeah, I'm just curious, when I asked that question, like, is there somebody upstairs that's maybe perhaps capturing the moment?

Speaker D:

Is that.

Speaker D:

Is that possible?

Speaker D:

And, like, maybe will I be able to see these.

Speaker D:

These glimpses of candid moments that I love and I wasn't able to capture myself.

Speaker D:

So, anyways, that's my question.

Speaker D:

Thank you so much.

Speaker D:

I love your podcast.

Speaker B:

Okay, that's a new question.

Speaker C:

I've never had it, which is why I included it.

Speaker C:

So on the other side, when Rachel passes, she'll be able to relive those moments as though she's experiencing them for the first time.

Speaker C:

So all of those moments, in a sense, are captured in time, like snapshots, actually, more of motion pictures.

Speaker C:

So she will experience that on the other side.

Speaker C:

But, Rachel, get a timer for your camera, girl.

Speaker C:

They have cameras with timers now so that you don't have to miss those shots.

Speaker C:

I know what you're talking about.

Speaker C:

I was just saying this to Joe, that we have pictures and the girls are in it when they're little and Joe's in it, and I know I'm taking the picture, but then we never turn the camera around to take a picture of me and the girls.

Speaker C:

It was always Joe and the girls, and it irks me.

Speaker C:

So I understand how you feel missing those shots.

Speaker C:

So you definitely need the camera with the timer on it so that you don't have to lose any more of those moments.

Speaker C:

There's no reason for it.

Speaker B:

Now, she's a professional photographer, so I will say she probably wants a certain shot.

Speaker C:

Better to have some picture than no picture.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

A video camera even takes some stills off the stream.

Speaker C:

Yeah, yeah, set up your video camera.

Speaker C:

I like the old video cameras that were just on the tripods.

Speaker C:

It was so much better than phones.

Speaker C:

Now people whip out their phones.

Speaker C:

When you brought out the camera with the tripod, you got the whole room.

Speaker C:

You got everything that was going on.

Speaker C:

And I just, you know, it was business.

Speaker C:

You paid more attention to grab it and bring it in.

Speaker C:

Now we just grab a phone and sort of put on a little show for it for a few seconds.

Speaker C:

It's like just set up a camera on a tripod when you have a holiday or something going on and get some footage anyways, so.

Speaker C:

But yeah, I hope that answers your.

Speaker C:

Your question, Rachel.

Speaker C:

And yes, Charlie.

Speaker C:

Charlie Goldsmith's show.

Speaker C:

I was on his podcast.

Speaker C:

Yes or no?

Speaker C:

He was on my podcast.

Speaker C:

He was on mine.

Speaker B:

But yeah, I kind of wanted to add, you've said this many times that the people, when you bring them through, they're reliving it.

Speaker B:

So it's even better than the photo that she actually gets to re experience that.

Speaker B:

And she's really reinforcing in her memory as she asks for those pictures to be taken.

Speaker B:

She's imprinting it on her own soul.

Speaker C:

Well, and when you relive those memories, the colors are more vibrant and the sounds are crisper.

Speaker C:

Everything's more alive in that moment.

Speaker C:

So it's even sort of what we create here, but on steroids over there, where it has a pulse, it has this emotion to it, and it's very beautiful.

Speaker C:

So Rachel will have those moments again.

Speaker C:

She doesn't have to worry about forgetting.

Speaker C:

They wait for us in the afterlife.

Speaker B:

Nice.

Speaker B:

All right, are you ready?

Speaker C:

I am.

Speaker A:

Hi, Allison, this is Kimmy Martinez.

Speaker A:

That's a long, drawn out story, so hopefully I can say it short and sweet.

Speaker A:

I had a little nephew.

Speaker A:

I actually.

Speaker A:

We actually fostered him and his two older brothers.

Speaker A:

And then we were going to get.

Speaker A:

His younger brother was trying to keep all of the children together, but it didn't work out for us and we ended up having to give the children back.

Speaker A:

And sadly, that's not what we wanted to do, but we had to.

Speaker A:

And I just loved the little.

Speaker A:

Little Alex was his name.

Speaker A:

I just loved him so much.

Speaker A:

And he was.

Speaker A:

He was two at this time, but his younger brother had just been born.

Speaker A:

We did not have him in our home.

Speaker A:

Anyways, long story short, when he went back into the system, he was fostered out.

Speaker A:

They were all Separated and he was fostered out to another family.

Speaker A:

And they had Rottweilers, and they killed him.

Speaker A:

So sorry.

Speaker A:

I just want to know if he.

Speaker A:

How do I know that he knows that we loved him?

Speaker A:

And how do I.

Speaker A:

I know he felt the love when he was with us.

Speaker A:

And we had always hoped that we could go back and get him and his other brothers, but we were not able.

Speaker A:

We're not able to get him and weren't able to get the other brothers.

Speaker A:

But how do we know that they knew anyways?

Speaker A:

How would.

Speaker A:

How would we know that they know that we love them?

Speaker A:

And I guess that's my biggest question.

Speaker A:

Sometimes I feel like he's around me, and then sometimes I don't have any feelings whatsoever.

Speaker A:

I just would like to know that he knows we love.

Speaker A:

That's all.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker C:

Well, Kimmy, I'm so sorry.

Speaker C:

That was a senseless and traumatic death for that child.

Speaker C:

And I guess speaking on behalf of the child and saying something that might be slightly unpopular with some people, but I don't care if you have dogs that are known to have a propensity for violence, no child should ever be placed in your house.

Speaker C:

And I just don't understand why that still happens when we know it's like putting them in with a sex offender or somebody that, you know, has a propensity to cross that line.

Speaker C:

So it doesn't mean they're always a bad dog.

Speaker C:

But if they have the propensity to be a violent dog, then it shouldn't be a risk that's taken, and the kids have no say, and it's just unfair.

Speaker C:

So I feel Kimmy's pain there, and I'm sure a lot of parents out there, their hearts go out to her.

Speaker C:

Alex does feel what you feel for him when you miss him.

Speaker C:

He feels that.

Speaker C:

When you feel love for him, he feels that warmth in his center of being cared for, of mattering, of being remembered.

Speaker C:

I guarantee you that Alex knows that you wanted him.

Speaker C:

When you talk to him, he can hear you.

Speaker C:

He was little more than a baby being two.

Speaker C:

So I'm sure that the moments that our versions of us have in have to do with feeling safe with Kimmy and her family and of being around his brothers.

Speaker C:

You know, obviously there are circumstances we don't understand.

Speaker C:

Where were the parents?

Speaker C:

And why were other children continuing to be born with other kids being in foster care?

Speaker C:

I mean, all of that sounds like it's got a huge backstory to it.

Speaker C:

That's probably pretty.

Speaker C:

Pretty sad.

Speaker C:

But I can guarantee you that Alex Absolutely knows what he means to you and that he'll follow along with you through your life.

Speaker C:

And when you cross, you'll be able to pick him up and hug him and hold him in your arms and tell him all the things that he already knows because he hears you and he feels your sincerity and your devotion to him.

Speaker C:

So very, very sad ending at such a very young age.

Speaker C:

They hear us.

Speaker C:

They feel what we feel.

Speaker C:

They're empathic.

Speaker C:

They sense us.

Speaker C:

So when you're not sensing him around you, it's because those are moments where he's doing other things on the other side, probably playing with other children, interacting with people who he feels comforted by.

Speaker C:

I do bring through a lot of adults that will say it's their job to help children to cross that don't have anyone there that they recognize and know.

Speaker C:

So there are people who already would surround him with care and love until you get there, Kimmy.

Speaker C:

So why don't.

Speaker C:

Did you have anything to add on that?

Speaker B:

Well, no, that was so super sad.

Speaker B:

But I hope that gives Kimmy some closure, that some knowing because you've seen it before, you've seen these things and.

Speaker C:

He can feel her motherly warmth towards him.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker C:

So yes.

Speaker B:

All right, we will move to the next.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker E:

Hi, Allyson, Love your show.

Speaker E:

This is Laura from Ontario, Canada.

Speaker E:

I'm just calling in with this crazy experience I had several years ago.

Speaker E:

I was doing something my ex boyfriend's living room.

Speaker E:

And then all of a sudden this voice, and I could kind of see him as well, came in into my head.

Speaker E:

And we started.

Speaker E:

He kept saying, you need to call your sister.

Speaker E:

And I was like, dude, like we haven't talking talked in several years.

Speaker E:

We've been estranged.

Speaker E:

And he's like, no, you have to.

Speaker E:

And it was a back and forth.

Speaker E:

And then all of a sudden the conversation disappeared.

Speaker E:

And then a few hours later, I got a call, or text rather, from my oldest sister, saying that my little sister's partner had been killed in a very tragic four Wheeling accident, that even the cops were shaken up by it.

Speaker E:

So I'm just wondering how did he know to come to me, especially when I didn't know or didn't talk to my sister.

Speaker E:

And I'm just curious, what, what was he trying to.

Speaker E:

Was there other message that he wanted to tell me despite us getting into a little bit of an argument?

Speaker E:

Just great news.

Speaker E:

I did reconnect with my little sister several years ago and we're best of friends now.

Speaker E:

So thanks so much and looking forward to your shows.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker C:

I Love this Colin.

Speaker C:

Laura.

Speaker C:

So thank you for calling in the boyfriend.

Speaker C:

The little sister's boyfriend came to Laura for two reasons.

Speaker C:

One, because she's open, and he would sense and know who would be the easiest portal to come through to.

Speaker C:

To carry on any messages or that he's okay, that he's still here.

Speaker C:

The other part to that is he came through to reunite them because he knew that his girlfriend would need her sister and loved her sister, because I'm sure they had many pillow talk conversations about how much she missed her sister.

Speaker C:

When we're on the other side, we see the silliness to some of the arguments that we're in that cost us time together.

Speaker B:

But so fast, it would have been just minutes, right?

Speaker C:

You know, even if it was instantly in that way.

Speaker C:

Usually that will happen when somebody dies tragically, so that doesn't surprise me.

Speaker C:

He died four wheeling.

Speaker C:

This wasn't an expected death.

Speaker C:

He wasn't in motion to be mentally and physically learning how to let go of his body and spiritually.

Speaker C:

So he died so suddenly that he's like, how can I get word to my girlfriend that I'm okay so that she doesn't worry that I'm still here?

Speaker C:

And so of course, he picked her sister.

Speaker B:

And so Laura happened to be the one easiest to access, is that what you're saying?

Speaker C:

Yes, she was the easiest to access.

Speaker C:

And we gain wisdom on the other side, there would have been a sense of knowing that this is an opportunity to reunite the two and that his girlfriend really would need her, her big sister.

Speaker C:

So he reached out to her and achieved his goal because they ended up becoming close again and are now thick as thieves.

Speaker C:

And that would make him very happy to know that he was instrumental in bringing them back together.

Speaker B:

What I like is that Laura had an argument with a ghost.

Speaker C:

Joe, that's kind of funny.

Speaker B:

I mean, why are you coming to me?

Speaker C:

That's pretty cool on the bucket list there, right?

Speaker C:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker C:

You did that?

Speaker C:

Well, I argued with a ghost and I won.

Speaker C:

So, yeah, I think that's pretty funny.

Speaker C:

And when he came through to her, did she say she was asleep or was this while she was awake?

Speaker C:

This is while she's awake.

Speaker C:

So I only know from when your dad would wake me up or keep me awake that I would be annoyed sometimes.

Speaker C:

So I was just trying to piece together and fill in the blanks of, did he wake her up?

Speaker C:

Was she tired?

Speaker C:

Is that why she was annoyed that he was there?

Speaker C:

Because if you're just in midday and in an aspir, like an Somebody.

Speaker C:

Thank you.

Speaker C:

Somebody appears to you, or you're here, or just hearing somebody talk in your mind, you're like, why are you bothering me?

Speaker C:

You're usually too distracted during the day to actually for them to be able to get your attention.

Speaker C:

So I just.

Speaker C:

I was just spitballing to see if it was while.

Speaker C:

While she was asleep or just woken up.

Speaker C:

It doesn't matter.

Speaker C:

Anyways, I'm glad, Laura, that you and your sister are close again.

Speaker C:

And I think both of you probably had the conversation how you'll never let something so small get in between the two of you again.

Speaker C:

But I also think it helped Laura's sister feel some peace knowing that he reached out through her sister to let her know that he was still here and that he's okay.

Speaker B:

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker B:

Well, that was a great story.

Speaker B:

Are we going to the next one?

Speaker C:

That's the plan.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker F:

Hi, Allison.

Speaker F:

My question is about a visitation.

Speaker F:

My name is Melissa, and I'm from Pennsylvania.

Speaker F:

First, I wanted to tell you about the number of times, though I think that our lives have intersected.

Speaker F:

I've always believed in and received signs.

Speaker F:

So then when I found out about you, I immediately read your book, Don't Kiss Them Goodbye.

Speaker F:

And then I found out that you were coming to Philadelphia, so I convinced some of my friends to come with me, and we were able to go into a group reading.

Speaker F:

You actually called on me, and then we got a picture with Joe.

Speaker F:

I got my book signed by you.

Speaker F:

I even got my picture with you.

Speaker F:

And then around or near that time, Diane Goldner.

Speaker F:

I found out about her, so I devoured off her books.

Speaker F:

And then I attended a course with her in the Southamptons, and she and I became friends.

Speaker F:

I've done multiple healings with her.

Speaker F:

She is absolutely amazing.

Speaker F:

So really happy that she joined the Dead Life University.

Speaker F:

And I was actually really shocked when I listened to your podcast and heard her on there.

Speaker F:

So I figured the two of you would connect.

Speaker F:

I should have known, actually, because you're such kindred spirits.

Speaker F:

But I also watched your show Medium, and I've done a tarot reading now with Margaret Jamison, and my colleague just got me a whole bunch of stuff from Granny Magic for Christmas this year.

Speaker F:

The only person I haven't reached out to yet is Tom.

Speaker F:

I definitely need to schedule something with him, and I'm also trying to find somebody who's going to Arizona so they can bring back some of your money vodka to me.

Speaker F:

Anyway, I just want to thank you for dedicating your life to what you do.

Speaker F:

You and Your family are truly an inspiration.

Speaker F:

And when I've mentioned you to some people, they've tried warning me about false prophets.

Speaker F:

And while there may be some mediums out there who are not on the up and up, as with any profession, I know that what you do is truly a gift from God.

Speaker F:

You know, how does somebody spend the first part of their career solving murders?

Speaker F:

Then now, when I listen to you do readings or I've watched you do readings, I see that people let go of the guilt and anguish they've had from losing their loved ones.

Speaker F:

And so to me, how can that be anything but a blessing?

Speaker F:

So I also see that as a very healing thing, too.

Speaker F:

So kind of, in a way, you're a healer, too.

Speaker C:

So I really appreciated Melissa Culligan.

Speaker C:

I know.

Speaker C:

I love.

Speaker C:

I love Melissa.

Speaker C:

So first of all, shout out to Philly, because Philadelphia is one of my favorite cities, and that's why I always toured there.

Speaker C:

I just.

Speaker C:

I love the people and the food is.

Speaker C:

Forget about it.

Speaker C:

It's so good.

Speaker C:

And she.

Speaker C:

She mentioned Diane Goldner.

Speaker C:

And Diane's an amazing healer for anybody out there that's learning.

Speaker C:

She's a fantastic professor of healing at Dead University.

Speaker C:

And Margaret Jamison is our professor of Earth magic.

Speaker C:

And yes, her store is amazing.

Speaker C:

So check it out.

Speaker C:

So that's grannymagic.com the reason I wanted to play Melissa's is to address what some people will still say, which just shocks me in this day and age that you're still hearing it.

Speaker C:

Because I've been doing this professionally for 25 years.

Speaker C:

And I remember in the beginning it was a bit unsettling to me that there were.

Speaker C:

I just called them Bible thumpers at the time.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

That think that what I do is demonic or, you know, satanic in some way.

Speaker C:

And it's quite the opposite.

Speaker C:

We're actually doing God's work out there in the world, trying to help people resuscitate the living back to the living world so that they don't die with the person that they lost and die on the inside and walk around as a zombie that's just going through the motions of life.

Speaker C:

So our work as mediums is incredibly important.

Speaker C:

And I wanted to say this and touch on this for all of the younger mediums out there that are still going to experience this.

Speaker C:

And you could put yourself in a bubble and you can surround yourself with spiritualists and everyone who sees things the way you see.

Speaker C:

But I do like being older because I have experienced the world touring and the different energies of people, including I've Learned lessons from those who talk about false prophets, which is why I had Father Nathan Castle on my show and in my book We Are Their Heaven, where he actually took part in the writing of a chapter to address people's religious questions about psychics and mediums, which are in the Bible by the way.

Speaker C:

And what he had said is false prophets that they spoke of were the people that actually weren't prophetic, that didn't predict things ahead of time, that didn't communicate with the dead, that they were lying about it.

Speaker C:

So that that doesn't mean that everybody that's a psychic medium lies about what they do.

Speaker C:

That means there are people that have existed that have done that and any profession is going to have their percentage of bad apples in the bunch.

Speaker C:

And it happens.

Speaker C:

However, I wanted to address this so that younger mediums understand this information, so that when they are faced with it, they, they recognize people who are talking about false prophets need to read the Bible a little bit more closely.

Speaker C:

Because the interpretation of the Catholic priest that I had on my show at in We Are Their Heaven laid it out very clearly.

Speaker C:

And I would say that he is somebody who would be considered an expert in the Bible and biblical times and the meanings behind what had been written.

Speaker C:

Having him explain that really did help me.

Speaker C:

And he pointed out multiple instances in the Bible where Jesus friends saw him after he died.

Speaker C:

So that is no different than what mediums do.

Speaker C:

So it has been cataloged that people like me have existed for all time and we're not going away.

Speaker C:

There's a new medium born every day.

Speaker C:

So when it comes to the people that are skeptical, I can handle a skeptic who their skepticism is based on something more than repeating something they heard from someone else because they think that argument's gonna work.

Speaker C:

We've all learned that doesn't work.

Speaker C:

After a while, people get tired of hearing it and they don't listen to you and they tuned you, tune you out.

Speaker B:

Or if they're based in fear, there's a lot of reasons.

Speaker C:

If there are people who are skeptical who actually want to find answers and get to the bottom of it, I think that's healthy skepticism.

Speaker C:

And I'm a hundred percent open to that.

Speaker C:

It's the cynical people that I have no time for, people who just want to name call.

Speaker C:

I don't have time for that.

Speaker C:

Your own family doesn't talk to you, obviously.

Speaker C:

It's why people go online and social media and say things to strangers that are famous because their families won't listen to them.

Speaker C:

And I just Block and delete.

Speaker C:

So just know if something gets posted, you're gone.

Speaker C:

And I'm cool with that because that's how I keep my energy space flowing.

Speaker C:

But if somebody actually has an intellectual question about mediumship and psychic spirituality, I'm more than happy to address those questions.

Speaker C:

Please feel free to call in with those questions, and I will do the research and I will find answers for you because I think it's important.

Speaker C:

And I think the biggest believers in mediums are former skeptics.

Speaker B:

Sure.

Speaker C:

And I see those people all the time who used to be a skeptic.

Speaker C:

And I think a lot of skeptics haven't actually lost someone that they love, so they don't have the opinion, and they're not really in a place to want to have that communication.

Speaker B:

Sure, there's people that have not lost somebody, so they haven't had a need for it.

Speaker B:

But then there's people that have lost somebody close, and they get very resentful, and then they have their.

Speaker C:

Well, yeah, that's true.

Speaker B:

The big thing is the cynics tend to decide what they think you do without even listening to what you actually do.

Speaker B:

And they're always wrong.

Speaker B:

They think you're saying you do something that's different than what you.

Speaker C:

Or they cherry pick and try and create an argument to support what they want to be true.

Speaker B:

But we also had a lot of great conversations.

Speaker B:

Remember Ann Gaiman and she had the book the Priest in the medium?

Speaker B:

And he was.

Speaker B:

Yeah, he was a Jesuit priest, and he was very fascinating.

Speaker B:

So it's not just one priest that has said it.

Speaker B:

There's been many.

Speaker C:

Yes, well, he left the priesthood for Anne.

Speaker C:

What a lady.

Speaker B:

Yeah, what a lady.

Speaker C:

And she's a medium.

Speaker C:

We spent time with both of them.

Speaker C:

Lovely people.

Speaker C:

Now passed, but very special couple.

Speaker C:

Very, very special.

Speaker B:

But while you were talking about it, I was thinking you should assign homework to your students at Dead University to make them listen to the Father Nathan episode, and then you could teach them.

Speaker B:

But no, it was a.

Speaker B:

It just.

Speaker B:

It's truly fascinating because you do have an expert, and it answers a lot of questions that people have.

Speaker C:

That's a good suggestion.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker B:

A lot of questions people have.

Speaker C:

Well, and people that actually want to know, from a Catholic priest point of view, the interpretation of the Bible, and you're curious.

Speaker C:

Please go back in my Dead Life archive of podcast episode episodes and find the one with Father Nathan Castle, who also has his own podcast, and listen to it.

Speaker C:

Because I asked him all the questions that most people have regarding spiritualists and he answered them in such a smart and.

Speaker C:

And warm way.

Speaker C:

And I really appreciate that about him.

Speaker C:

I've always said seeing the other side, interacting with the dead, is actually the most human thing in the world.

Speaker C:

And animals see spirits more easily than us.

Speaker C:

Babies and small children see them because they haven't had time in our physical world to become jaded, to become angry, resentful, or to think that we're just smarter than everyone else and we have all the answers, which would be an unwise person that would have that thought.

Speaker C:

But I see them all the time.

Speaker C:

So I did want to put that out there so that Melissa has that information, if her friends should ever talk about mediums in such a way to know what they're basing that on, because that is not in the Bible.

Speaker C:

They are talking about false prophets.

Speaker C:

They are not talking about people who actually communicate with the other side, which are also documented everywhere throughout history as existing.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker C:

All right.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker B:

So now for Robert.

Speaker G:

Allison.

Speaker G:

My name is Robert Vanhouse.

Speaker G:

I live in Beatty, Nevada.

Speaker G:

You got my number there, I'm sure.

Speaker G:

I've had.

Speaker G:

I'm 79 years old and retired, maybe 25 years retired government.

Speaker G:

Had my own company for about three years.

Speaker G:

Anyway, I live by myself now in Beijing, Nevada, in an apartment.

Speaker G:

And I've had some medium experiences.

Speaker G:

The last one I had before I went in the hospital with kidney problems, which they resolved, by the way, but before.

Speaker G:

The last one I had was my first love, my first girlfriend.

Speaker G:

Her name is Helen Thorsheim.

Speaker G:

And I just said, helen Thorsheim, please step forward.

Speaker G:

And she did.

Speaker G:

And so that was.

Speaker G:

That really helped me a lot, but I can't.

Speaker G:

But since then, I've not had any.

Speaker G:

Had any more experiences.

Speaker G:

And.

Speaker G:

And I can't understand why.

Speaker G:

I pray every night for God to keep evil away from me.

Speaker G:

Evil, like things in here resembles evil.

Speaker G:

Those exact words.

Speaker G:

And I've not had any evil faces coming out when I shut my eyes or anything like that.

Speaker G:

So I don't know why I'm not seeing any good spirits.

Speaker G:

Maybe you can answer that sometime.

Speaker G:

I appreciate it.

Speaker G:

Thank you.

Speaker G:

Bye.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker C:

I just love Robert, so, yeah, I wanted to include that.

Speaker C:

And I love how he gives all those details and.

Speaker C:

And Helen, full name.

Speaker C:

I'm surprised you didn't spell it for us.

Speaker C:

Like, he provides details.

Speaker C:

He came with the facts and the tea.

Speaker C:

I love it so.

Speaker C:

Well, I would have to ask him a question.

Speaker C:

I would need to know if.

Speaker C:

When he asked for her to step forward to help him, because that would calm him, had he already Been medicated to have for the procedure.

Speaker C:

Was he on pain pills?

Speaker C:

Like, was there something that would have temporarily shut down his brain from thinking where he was spiritually more accessible?

Speaker C:

Because that can make you spiritually more accessible.

Speaker C:

It's just.

Speaker C:

That makes sense being able to process it after the fact.

Speaker C:

Which is why I tell mediums to be make sure you're very sober when you're doing readings, because otherwise, sometimes the information can get disarrayed.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Moved around in ways that it wasn't meant to.

Speaker C:

Why don't I see good spirits?

Speaker C:

First of all, Robert, I always say block any mischievous or negative entities from coming near me or my family.

Speaker C:

And that's my mantra.

Speaker C:

Whenever I'm in a place where I'm feeling some dark energy around me or morose energy around me or my husband or children, and that the other side, all the people that I talk to and that care about me, throw up a shield of protection.

Speaker C:

And it works.

Speaker C:

So I'm glad that him asking for that is working.

Speaker C:

I swear, it does work.

Speaker C:

You don't have to have special powers out there.

Speaker C:

You already had it all along, Dorothy, that that energy inside of you, the other side already feels you, hears you.

Speaker C:

And when you request that from the other side for protection, they.

Speaker C:

They're just waiting for you to tell them what you need from them.

Speaker C:

And they do it.

Speaker C:

Why don't I see good spirits?

Speaker C:

Kind of sounds like you'd like to have a conversation with Helen and a few other people from the past.

Speaker C:

Right?

Speaker C:

So the trick to being able to communicate, first of all, I find a pad of paper and a box of sharpened pencils.

Speaker C:

Helpful pens don't work as well for me.

Speaker C:

It's the pencil lead.

Speaker C:

Maybe because it's of nature.

Speaker C:

Wood pencil, you know, that it's.

Speaker C:

It's more connective somehow than plastic, you know, like a plastic pen.

Speaker C:

So I always recommend the sharp pencils and scribbling side by side.

Speaker C:

It's called automatic writing.

Speaker C:

And start writing the impressions you get, Robert, when you're trying to communicate with Helen or anyone else, you'll have images pop in your head.

Speaker C:

You'll hear things, you know them straight up talking to you.

Speaker C:

You'll get a feeling you'll taste a chocolate milkshake.

Speaker C:

They communicate through all of our senses.

Speaker C:

That'll help.

Speaker C:

But you need to be in a quiet place and in a very comfortable surrounding.

Speaker C:

So a place with good energy, let's put it that way.

Speaker C:

If you've got barking dogs running around that's distracting, you're going to be hard to Reach.

Speaker C:

You're not able to feel everything if it's being sent out in other directions for other things.

Speaker C:

Children, same thing.

Speaker C:

But Robert's 79, so it sounds like he probably has a pretty cozy spot, cozy space around him where he can do this.

Speaker C:

It has more to do with channeling them through the center of your chest.

Speaker C:

Telling them you miss them, that you need them, and that you still want them to be part of your life.

Speaker C:

And that seems to be very key in me helping people to connect with the other side.

Speaker C:

Telling them you want them to be part of your life, because once you welcome them in, it's sort of like opening the door to their energy.

Speaker C:

They show up.

Speaker C:

That will help Robert to communicate.

Speaker C:

And I know this is a hard ask, but you got to stay out of your head, Robert, when you're trying to communicate to them.

Speaker C:

Because in the physical world, we're used to going deep into, you know, our intellectual core to try and communicate with them.

Speaker C:

And that is not how they communicate.

Speaker C:

They're emotionally based beings that communicate through places of emotion to us is where the communication is brought through.

Speaker C:

So in other words, if I'm feeling like I miss my dad, I was thinking of him today.

Speaker C:

I'm like, I miss my dad.

Speaker C:

I've gone to an emotional place in that center where I miss him.

Speaker C:

Now that I've gone to that place, I can say, dad, you know, we just, you know, something good happened in our life and I just wanted.

Speaker C:

I wanted you to know and I just needed to know you're here.

Speaker C:

And the communication becomes easier because I've.

Speaker C:

I've made an emotional dialogue with him.

Speaker C:

Does that make sense to use cerebral over there?

Speaker B:

I think so, yeah.

Speaker C:

My brainiac.

Speaker B:

It's hard to get our ego out of the way.

Speaker B:

I mean, we think about what we think about, and that's what our whole world is.

Speaker B:

And when you communicate with the other side, from what I've seen what you do, and then here and there, I've had little glimpses of it.

Speaker B:

It's so hard to explain.

Speaker B:

But you, you just kind of know it.

Speaker B:

And don't dismiss those little things that normally we do well.

Speaker C:

And I think a lot of people will, in their head, try to think really hard.

Speaker C:

No, that makes it worse to communicate.

Speaker C:

And it makes it worse when you say to the other side, you know, like, I'm open to channel.

Speaker C:

I'm open to channel, like, I'm welcoming you in.

Speaker C:

I want you to be part of my life and you maybe even share a memory.

Speaker C:

Like, say Robert and Helen used to sneak into the drive in movies or something.

Speaker C:

And he's like, hey, Helen, remember when we go to the drive ins?

Speaker C:

And so.

Speaker C:

And so had made the best popcorn in all of the state.

Speaker C:

And then we shared a milkshake together.

Speaker C:

And you and I, you know, we really would have got in trouble if our parents got us, you know, something.

Speaker C:

Something that was a happy memory.

Speaker C:

And then you'll start to hear a reply from them.

Speaker C:

And so it's the start of the emotional dialogue.

Speaker C:

It's got to be driven by emotion, not intellect.

Speaker B:

And then not dismiss it.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker B:

I think a lot of people say, oh, well, I kind of thought that, but that must have been me thinking that.

Speaker C:

And don't have preconceived notions or run an agenda on them of what you think they should say, because then that's a function of the mind.

Speaker C:

Again, and you're missing the point.

Speaker C:

It's not the function of the mind.

Speaker C:

That's not where they communicate.

Speaker C:

They communicate with our soul.

Speaker C:

They communicate in our emotional center.

Speaker C:

Yeah, makes sense.

Speaker B:

Makes sense.

Speaker C:

I mean, you're an astrophysicist, so if you say I sound like I'm laying it out playing, that makes me happy.

Speaker C:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker C:

All right.

Speaker C:

Well, thank you for your input and for being my sounding board.

Speaker B:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

These are so much fun.

Speaker B:

I really do enjoy it.

Speaker C:

On such complicated call in questions.

Speaker C:

Send me more complicated call in questions.

Speaker C:

I like them because we have to go deep and I think it makes.

Speaker C:

It's thought provoking and it takes us in directions that maybe we didn't anticipate going.

Speaker C:

And I think that's a good thing to keep the energy fresh on the podcast.
