Speaker 1: Do you want to be an American rings all the
Speaker 1: highest rewct should cry out trick or treating the night.
Speaker 1: We are good for a little wiles of aunt. Also
Speaker 1: for moms and dads who don't need the extra sugar
Speaker 1: but will gladly partake in stealing it's called the dad
Speaker 1: text and taking the snickers and the reeses and checking
Speaker 1: them for razor blades, which isn't a real thing. We
Speaker 1: made that up in order to screw kids over. I
Speaker 1: need to check that looks like there's a needle in it,
Speaker 1: and then you eat the Snickers. No, I guess there
Speaker 1: was a need because kids are stupid and we need
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that. Also, with Halloween being today,
Speaker 1: tis the season to talk about ghosts and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Why not. I'm in the holiday spirit myself. And the
Speaker 1: thing with ghost is, man, this is why you got
Speaker 1: to live a really clean or a fairly clean mortal
Speaker 1: life is because you don't want to screw this up
Speaker 1: and become a ghost. Because when you're walking around with
Speaker 1: chains on and you're going and visiting Scrooge in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night, you don't get any rest. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get any rest. It's a bad look, it's optics
Speaker 1: are bad for everybody. It's a real pain of the
Speaker 1: ass to screw up your life. Do we gotta be
Speaker 1: a ghost? Echo botines on the show this morning on
Speaker 1: seven hundred ww a real life ghost bo and will
Speaker 1: teach you how not to become a ghost in a
Speaker 1: trap soul. I don't think I've ever had this subject
Speaker 1: matter before my show before, but I this is the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff I really like to talk about. Ec go,
Speaker 1: good morning. How are you?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, good morning. I gotta go have about
Speaker 2: sixteen cups of coffee. Catch up to you.
Speaker 1: Well, smoke, it just comes out, It just comes out.
Speaker 1: But I yeah, I'm busy. And when I die, I
Speaker 1: won't be as busy anymore. When I die, I don't
Speaker 1: want to be a I don't want to be bothering
Speaker 1: people in the afterlife. I bother people enough now, you know.
Speaker 1: I'll be tired. Then I just want to I want
Speaker 1: to rest. How do I not become a ghost and
Speaker 1: bother people?
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh god, you are riot. Okay, let's see. Now,
Speaker 2: here's what you do. You take care of business while
Speaker 2: you're here on earth.
Speaker 3: There okay.
Speaker 2: So the book which is called How to Live a
Speaker 2: Happily ever After Life is about the six main reasons
Speaker 2: that we have discovered why ghosts choose to be ghosts.
Speaker 3: I mean, when we.
Speaker 4: Do a ghostbusting job and I say weak because I'm
Speaker 4: talking about my brother Michael and I. We always ask
Speaker 4: these souls what well, We always ask them, what's your name?
Speaker 2: And why are you here? Okay?
Speaker 3: And that's got you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Unfinished business, that's what you're saying. It is like I
Speaker 1: got something I gotta okay, and I think we kind
Speaker 1: of know that, right. That's what ghosts do. They hang around,
Speaker 1: they annoy you because that's what ghosts do. They're looking
Speaker 1: for some closure and you got How does a ghost
Speaker 1: get closure?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 2: Wow, you have to work on your beliefs about death
Speaker 2: before you die, because you know it's got Some of
Speaker 2: these souls they don't They don't believe in life after death.
Speaker 2: So when they die, when their soul comes out of
Speaker 2: their body, they don't know what to do. They they
Speaker 2: don't understand what's going on. They don't understand why angels
Speaker 2: are showing up saying, hey, come on with.
Speaker 3: Us, we'll take you to the other side. It's it's
Speaker 3: really kind of sad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking about teenage souls that I've met that
Speaker 2: say when we say why are you here, why don't
Speaker 2: you go to the other side. Oh, it's going to
Speaker 2: be really boring. I'm going to get angel wings and
Speaker 2: then I'm just going to have to be serious and
Speaker 2: be an angel. It's like, oh my god. Or another
Speaker 2: reason is people will say, well, my ex wife is
Speaker 2: over there and I hate her, or my ex cousin
Speaker 2: or my parents, or that they don't somebody they don't
Speaker 2: want to run into is on the other side, and
Speaker 2: so they think if they go there, they're going to
Speaker 2: run into them right away. I mean, you know what
Speaker 2: got It's more like ghost counseling than ghost busting.
Speaker 1: Oh, Heaven's kind of a big place, isn't there room.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to be on top of these.
Speaker 1: If there's a jerk, you just avoid them, you know,
Speaker 1: you pick a different cloud.
Speaker 2: I know. But see, that's the point is people don't
Speaker 2: think about it. They hear from other people what they
Speaker 2: believe about life after death, and so they think, okay, well,
Speaker 2: as soon as I get to have an I'm on
Speaker 2: a run into Susie and this one ghost that I met,
Speaker 2: she said that her boyfriend killed her and then he
Speaker 2: committed suicide. And she said, I don't want to go
Speaker 2: anywhere where he is.
Speaker 3: And I said to her, Sherry, Heaven.
Speaker 2: Is a really big place, and I said, chances of
Speaker 2: you running into this guy? I said, you know, when
Speaker 2: you get there, you can tell people you don't want
Speaker 2: to see this guy, you don't want to talk to
Speaker 2: this guy. And it's so interesting to watch their expressions
Speaker 2: because they're like, oh, I never thought about that, isn't
Speaker 2: there Heaven.
Speaker 1: There's got to be some police for I mean, you
Speaker 1: get a restraining order and they are like a judge.
Speaker 2: That can do that, you know, Scott, I've never given
Speaker 2: that any thought.
Speaker 1: Sure, there's got to be some sort of legal recourse
Speaker 1: in heaven. You know, it's not just a free for
Speaker 1: all do whatever you want. There's got to be some rules.
Speaker 1: And if there's rules, there's got to be authority to
Speaker 1: enforce the rules. So I don't know, if you go
Speaker 1: to God or whatever you could, he's like the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and then the Apostle everybody else below him. Those
Speaker 1: are like your appellet courts and down a way.
Speaker 2: I think you should write a book. I think you
Speaker 2: should write a book on this, because you just said
Speaker 2: things to me that I've never.
Speaker 1: Even thought about it. I don't even know. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to read anyway. It's Echo Botin on the
Speaker 1: show this morning on seven hundred Wow, how to be
Speaker 1: a live, a happily ever after life, stories of trap
Speaker 1: souls on to become basically not how to be how
Speaker 1: to not become a ghost out there bothering people, Dragon change.
Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of work being a ghost
Speaker 1: haunting people, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yes, it can be.
Speaker 2: I mean, but you know, okay, so some of them
Speaker 2: they just start making the noises and playing with the
Speaker 2: lights and the computers and TV. Is because they're bored
Speaker 2: and they want some attention. Others are kind of jerks
Speaker 2: when they were living, and so they're they're loving this here.
Speaker 1: You're an ahole in life, you're an a hole in death?
Speaker 3: Perfect yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, so it really is,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, we all end up there, and
Speaker 3: it's a good idea to give us some thought before
Speaker 3: you go, because I have seen souls who when they
Speaker 3: come out of their body, they're just like, I don't
Speaker 3: know what to do.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, what the number one reason is.
Speaker 2: These souls tell us they are afraid if they go
Speaker 2: to heaven they're going to get sent to hell.
Speaker 1: Oh oh okay, yeah, Well it's like it's kind of
Speaker 1: like fomo, right is it?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'd really like to go if it's
Speaker 1: everything they promise, But I got to feel I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go there. I'm gonna apply, I'm gonna sit there, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do all this fill off the paperwork, and then
Speaker 1: I'm going to get bounced, and I don't might as well.
Speaker 1: Purgatory is not so bad just hanging around being a ghost.
Speaker 1: This isn't so bad.
Speaker 2: Okay, Scott, Really, I promise you don't have to still
Speaker 2: all paperwork when you get there.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everything's a bureaucracy, but I couldn't disagree
Speaker 1: with anymore. I guarantee there's paperwork you got. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you gotta bring an ID. It's a real thing. Waiting
Speaker 1: in lines. Tell me there's no line to get in
Speaker 1: the head. There's got to be a line.
Speaker 3: I mean, Heaven is huge.
Speaker 2: It's like saying there's gonna be a line to get
Speaker 2: to Earth.
Speaker 3: No is there.
Speaker 1: It's all over the somebody's checking you in, right. It's
Speaker 1: not a new business models you. It's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: we've got an app and you do all your check
Speaker 1: in on time and I don't care. This is old school.
Speaker 1: I gotta go wait in a lot. I talk to
Speaker 1: a guy and then he's late because he's on his break,
Speaker 1: and then I'm waiting for somebody else. And it's not
Speaker 1: you know, AI isn't going to solve this thing I got.
Speaker 1: I'm still right. Literally, I got a pen and a
Speaker 1: clipboard in the waiting room like a doctor's office, and
Speaker 1: I'm filling stuff out. There's there's a line.
Speaker 3: Believe believe me.
Speaker 2: It's very organized, very organized. People know when you get there.
Speaker 2: People know ahead of time when we're dying, our deceased
Speaker 2: loved ones and our relatives, they know. Oftentimes they're there
Speaker 2: waiting for us, or oftentimes when we are in our
Speaker 2: dying process, they are here with us on this side,
Speaker 2: so that when our soul comes out of the body.
Speaker 2: Oh there's mom, there's dad, there's grandpa, there's grandma. There's
Speaker 2: my dog Charlie.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a pretty cool system the way it works.
Speaker 1: How do they know what kind of notification do they
Speaker 1: get Did it pop up on their phone? I get
Speaker 1: an email? What happens?
Speaker 3: They know?
Speaker 1: How do they know wh I'm doing? How would they know?
Speaker 3: They?
Speaker 2: Okay, so before you pass away, your your soul is
Speaker 2: communicating with people on the other side. Okay, your soul
Speaker 2: knows that your death is coming. You're not conscious of it,
Speaker 2: but your soul is communicating with the people on the
Speaker 2: other side. And there are greets had their really nice
Speaker 2: souls that welcome, welcome you home. Really, it's a really
Speaker 2: cool system of welcoming your soul back home.
Speaker 3: Even you know.
Speaker 2: I was just reading a story last night about a
Speaker 2: lady who committed suicide and she was so afraid that
Speaker 2: she wasn't going to get into heaven. And people who
Speaker 2: commit suicide they go into heaven just like everybody does.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a sin. I thought that was
Speaker 1: I thought that was a no go. I thought that's
Speaker 1: a bad one.
Speaker 2: No, honey, that's just religions perspective. But no, Yeah, the
Speaker 2: people that I've communicated with have all said no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: God doesn't no, God's not like that, that angry, vengeful,
Speaker 2: jealous God. Now that doesn't exist. And if somebody is
Speaker 2: hurting that.
Speaker 3: Bad to take their life.
Speaker 2: Of course they're welcomed back home. So it's a different
Speaker 2: system and at least what most of us have been.
Speaker 1: Taught, you know, right, Echobodin's on the show this morning,
Speaker 1: how to live a happy, happily ever after life, stories
Speaker 1: of trap soles on to to become one basically, not
Speaker 1: how to become a ghost, and that is closing a
Speaker 1: business before you you pass away, making sure that there's
Speaker 1: no loose ends left in your light. And how do
Speaker 1: you convert someone who's well, let me back up a second,
Speaker 1: how the hell do you know all this stuff? What
Speaker 1: makes you an expert on the afterlife? How do you
Speaker 1: know this?
Speaker 3: Is that.
Speaker 2: I have psychic abilities, and so I have been I
Speaker 2: don't believe me. I have been slowly learning about all
Speaker 2: of this for the last fifty four years, and I
Speaker 2: just have these experiences, you know, when someone passes, I'm
Speaker 2: able to communicate with their soul and they tell me
Speaker 2: about heaven. I've had three friends in the last year
Speaker 2: die that have come back and said, oh my, you
Speaker 2: know this is happening.
Speaker 3: That's happening.
Speaker 2: It's been a fun and very interesting experience because I've
Speaker 2: learned things that we aren't taught in religion. And that's
Speaker 2: another reason why I thought, you know, I need to
Speaker 2: write this book because people have a lot of misconceptions
Speaker 2: about death. A lot of people are so afraid to die,
Speaker 2: and there's you know what's got It seems like, at
Speaker 2: least from what I've seen and what I've heard from people,
Speaker 2: it's probably the easiest thing we'll ever do, is when
Speaker 2: we finally let go of the body and we just
Speaker 2: move on to the other side.
Speaker 3: And it is.
Speaker 2: Scott. The pictures I've seen of the other side are
Speaker 2: absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 1: And can you send some to me? I has that
Speaker 1: with you? How do you get the pictures? Are they dead?
Speaker 1: Gramm ar fatal book? Is it like the web I have?
Speaker 3: Oh god, oh my god. No.
Speaker 2: I have what's called clairvoyance, which means that you get visions.
Speaker 2: I get visions in my mind and I communicate with
Speaker 2: spirit in my mind. They think to me, that's how
Speaker 2: they commune. So, honey, it's just been a matter of
Speaker 2: kind of putting together a big jeep of saw puzzle
Speaker 2: of Oh that, Oh now I understand that picture. Oh
Speaker 2: now I understand what this person meant. Yeah, it's been
Speaker 2: it's been a long journey, but very interesting. And the
Speaker 2: other thing that's cool ist I just I keep learning,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: It isn't like, oh my god, Scott, I I.
Speaker 2: Would not claim to be an expert on this stuff.
Speaker 2: I am just passing on what I've learned so far.
Speaker 1: I've talked to other folks like yourself, and it's the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's like, it's just you're like a conduit,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think there's some consistency there in
Speaker 1: a like But okay, So I think the question most
Speaker 1: people have is what is the absolute echo? What is
Speaker 1: the absolute bare minimum? Bare minimum I need to be
Speaker 1: able to get into hen what's like the what is
Speaker 1: this I just need to get It's like passing the class, right.
Speaker 3: All I need to do is get that d Honey,
Speaker 3: There's no.
Speaker 1: Way I could go. Are you saying I could go
Speaker 1: like murder someone and still get into Heaven. That doesn't
Speaker 1: seem right.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know it doesn't seem right, but I mean
Speaker 2: that that's going to involve karma. So what you do
Speaker 2: to others, you will experience yourself. It all balances out,
Speaker 2: It all has to balance out, and so what we do,
Speaker 2: it's the golden rule of what we do unto others
Speaker 2: comes back onto us.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's no there's no Hell. Then we got
Speaker 1: that wrong.
Speaker 2: The angels have told me there is no such place
Speaker 2: as hell because God would never create a place like that.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that we all get to be
Speaker 2: terrible people and then go on to the other side
Speaker 2: because we bring we bring that guilt with us, we
Speaker 2: bring that shame that.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 2: I've seen some souls who and that's what I mean
Speaker 2: when I ask these ghosts, Okay, why don't you go
Speaker 2: to the other side? Yeah, oh God, there's no way.
Speaker 2: There's no way I could. I'm going to get sent
Speaker 2: to Hell for sure.
Speaker 3: They'll go there and they'll have to work through.
Speaker 2: All the crap that they did to people.
Speaker 1: So it's like you go, it's like the minor leagues
Speaker 1: ahead and basically you sent down to like low A,
Speaker 1: and then you work on your game until you build up,
Speaker 1: maybe you get promoted to triple A and eventually make
Speaker 1: the big league Heaven club kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, there are different levels I've seen
Speaker 2: that also different levels in heaven, and so you know,
Speaker 2: if you're murdering people, you are boy you're at the
Speaker 2: bottom of the wrong I mean, you're in heaven. But
Speaker 2: you know what's got It's kind of like people that
Speaker 2: commit these kind of crimes against other people or animals,
Speaker 2: they take all that guilt with them and.
Speaker 3: They have to work it out some way.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: What's that part of having called where it's like the
Speaker 1: low end, the you know, the the wrong side is
Speaker 1: what do you call this? Is it called Pittsburgh there too?
Speaker 3: Oh? There you go.
Speaker 2: No, it's just when you're there, you're kind you it's
Speaker 2: like your certain level. Okay, but you know what we've
Speaker 2: got it here. I mean think about it. We've got
Speaker 2: old souls here, young souls here, the young souls or
Speaker 2: the kids and the gangs, people that are hurting other people.
Speaker 3: Then we've got you know, older souls.
Speaker 2: And they're the ones trying to help the younger souls.
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, well it really it is fascinating. We
Speaker 1: got to talk in depth. Maybe some other time. I'd
Speaker 1: love to have you back. Echo.
Speaker 3: Okay, sweet Si, you just let me know.
