Today 19 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: you'll meet doctor Matthew McKay, who's a psychology professor in Berkeley, California, 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: who never would have believed in the world of the 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 3: afterlife and communication had his own adult son not been 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 3: taken from him. Doctor McKay has authored or co authored 23 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: more than twenty five psychology, self help and therapist texts 24 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: and books specializing in anxiety and depression. And in this 25 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: episode today you'll hear his story and what he does 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: to connect with his son Jordan. Here's doctor Matthew McKay. 27 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 4: I'm glad to be with you, Sander. So it's more 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: than fifteen years now since Jordan. He was on his 29 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 4: way home from work on his bicycle and men attacked him, 30 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 4: probably to try to steal a bike. Eventually, after a 31 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: tremendous physical battle, they shot him and he died on 32 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 4: the street. As anyone can imagine, that's the worst thing 33 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 4: that happened, is losing your child at that moment or 34 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: very shortly afterwards. I think that the two things that 35 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: mattered most to me, And I think this may be 36 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: true for a lot of appearance or anyone who loses 37 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: a loved one. Does that soul still exist? And are 38 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: they okay? Are they in a place where they feel good? 39 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 4: And I was just consumed with that question, and so 40 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 4: I did start looking for Jordan started seeking him in 41 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: different ways, and we went to mediums and got some 42 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 4: sense of something he was saying through them. And yet 43 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 4: while there was some sense of him, some reassurance he 44 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 4: might still exist, it wasn't anything that really warmed our hearts, 45 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: and so we began looking in other ways. We sought 46 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 4: out Alan Botkin, who discovered accidentally something he calls and 47 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 4: do s death after death Communication. Went to Chicago. It's 48 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 4: a technique that comes from EMDR. I moved into sensitization 49 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 4: through processing, which is something that we used to help 50 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: treat trauma. I've used it with hundreds of clients over 51 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: the years, but in this case, we were going to 52 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: see him and he was going to use his variation 53 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: of that with us. During that experience, I had my 54 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 4: first direct contact with Jordan. I could hear his voice 55 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: very clearly, and it was not inside my head. It 56 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 4: was a voice that was coming from outside of me. 57 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: It was his voice, and he was telling me the 58 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: very things that I needed to know that he still existed. 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: In fact, he's watching over us, he was observing our lives. 60 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: He was connected to us, and he was good and 61 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 4: he was happy where he was. So this was a 62 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: first major step for me for us, my wife and 63 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: I to begin to connect to him again and to 64 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: re establish the relationship through the curtain to the other side. 65 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 4: So that was important. Also before this, I had read 66 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 4: a lot of Michael Newton's work on the jury of 67 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: souls and so forth, and I had learned because I'm 68 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: psychotherapist and I'm a good hypnotist, I'd learned his particular 69 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 4: method of regressing people to their past lives and then 70 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 4: from there bouncing into the life between lives and having 71 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: them observe the life between lives. And I had done 72 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: that with quite a few people. I didn't charge him, 73 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: but I did it. If anybody wanted it and needed 74 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: I would do it, and I got to observe their experience. 75 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 4: But I never got to have it. And so somewhere 76 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 4: along this point in time, I got involved with Ralph Messner, 77 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: who was the late Ralph Messer was a specialist in 78 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 4: the afterlife and after deathcommunication. He did that same process. 79 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 4: He induced me into a past life and then the 80 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 4: life between lines that I could make contact with Jordan 81 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 4: in that way. And it's confirming that souls reincarnate together 82 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 4: and often in very different relationships to each other in 83 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 4: each particular life, they often have very different ways of connecting. 84 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 4: The problem still was that it was all one way. 85 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 4: I was. With Alan Bodkin's process, I was just hearing 86 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: Jordan passively. With mediums, I was hearing their representation of 87 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 4: what Jordan was saying. Even in this hypnotic process. With Ralph, 88 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 4: it was a passive process. I was experiencing things, but 89 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: I was not able to participate in the communication. So 90 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: finally Ralph taught me how to do channel communication. And 91 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 4: it didn't take him very long, as it was actually 92 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: a fairly simple process, and I tell your audience how 93 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 4: to do it if they would be interested. But in 94 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 4: less than an hour he taught me how to do it, proudly, 95 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: much less an hour. I went home that night, and 96 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 4: I had my first experience of conversation with Jordan, a 97 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 4: conversation in which I could ask questions, he could answer them, 98 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 4: I could respond, he could respond to whatever I was saying, 99 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 4: and it felt like we had gone back to those 100 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: beautiful days around the kitchen table where we could talk 101 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: about anything and had these long, beautiful and endless conversations. 102 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 4: And I had my first experience of being able to 103 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 4: have that again and greatly shifted the grief, the grief 104 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: of having lost him to I've lost his physical presence, 105 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 4: but the relationship and the love is still completely there, 106 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 4: completely intact, completely alive. So that was an enormous transformation 107 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 4: for me. And I still have Jordan in my life, 108 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 4: and to have that has made all the difference in 109 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 4: terms of facing this loss, but also in terms of learning. 110 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 4: I learn so much from him, and that's made a 111 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: big difference. I have a completely different understanding and cosmology 112 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 4: how the universe works as a result of his communications. 113 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: Before we end our chat today, we'd love to know 114 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: those steps, but I'd like to find a little bit 115 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: more about some of the things that Jordan talked to 116 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: you about. And in the beginning, A father knows his love. 117 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: I know my dad's love. No one can convince me 118 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: that some of the things I've experienced were just my imagination. 119 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: You feel his presence as you write. 120 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 4: Question, I feel his love, if I could put it 121 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 4: that way, I can feel his love inside of me, 122 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 4: feeling his presence like he's sitting in the room. I 123 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 4: don't actually have that experience. I can feel him in 124 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: my body and I can feel the love in my body. 125 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: But how he manifests himself is the things he says 126 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 4: that are occurring inside my mind but are definitely channeled, 127 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 4: because there are things that I never dreamed of, have 128 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 4: thought of imagined, and they're said in his way of communicating, 129 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 4: not in mind. So what I get from him is 130 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 4: is communication. But I do feel him physically. 131 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: That's I guess the answer I was looking for in 132 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 3: that love. No one can take that away. What kind 133 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: of things did he talk about? Did he tell you 134 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: about the spirit world, what he's doing, what life's about? 135 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: That? Yeah, over time they shared all of that with me, 136 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: and he's decided that he's going to write certain books, 137 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: and he set out to write a book, Lewini's Landscape 138 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: in the Afterlife, which is really helping people with a 139 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: fear of death and telling them exactly what is out there, 140 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: what to expect, what that afterlife looks like and feels, 141 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: and also why we leave it to come here. So 142 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 4: he outlined the book in about five minutes and then 143 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 4: over time, basically I channeled all of his It's all 144 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 4: from him. So what does he say the afterlife is 145 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 4: their components to it. The first thing that happens after 146 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: we die. We end up in he calls the landing place, 147 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: and it's just adjacent to the spirit world. And in 148 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 4: the landing Place, the main function of that spot is 149 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 4: to get used to having a non physical experience. We 150 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: see it three hundred and sixty degrees, not just straight ahead. 151 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 4: We are hearing things telepathically. We move by intention, but 152 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 4: not by muscle motions. And this landing place is often 153 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 4: familiar in some ways. It's a setting that we might 154 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 4: have known in our lives, but it also has a 155 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 4: surreal quality of heightened colors and so forth, very very beautiful. 156 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: And it's there we meet guides and some of the 157 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 4: important souls, perhaps from our soul group, who come to 158 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 4: greet as in that's place. We're getting used to this 159 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 4: not being physical anymore. But it's also a place where 160 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: guides evaluate our readiness to enter the spirit world. If 161 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 4: we have a lot of intense residual emotions from the 162 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 4: unfinished issues in our life that are really strong and overwhelming, 163 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 4: a lot of fear or a lot of anger, we'll 164 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: go to ancillary places where Bardo's where we work on 165 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 4: that before we can enter the spiritual You can't ender 166 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: the spirit world with intense negative emotions, and so there's 167 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 4: sometimes a pausing that goes on and certain healing processes 168 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 4: that have to happen before the soul is ready to 169 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 4: fully enter the afterlife. The sort of sorting out is 170 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: done in this anti room landing place. And so once 171 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: we enter the spirit world, the very first stop is 172 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: where we do life review as many people have talked 173 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 4: about that. Jordan describes it, and I've had a little 174 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 4: bit of the experience also when I've done the life 175 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 4: between life regressions. It's a very powerful experience. And in 176 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: that experience we experience everything we've done, every choice we've 177 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 4: made from our own perspective, but also for from the 178 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 4: perspective of the person who was affected by that choice 179 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 4: or that behavior. So we're experiencing it both ways. And 180 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: on top of that, not only do we experience it 181 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 4: as that person experienced it at the moment, but over 182 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 4: time how it impacted them in terms of moving forward 183 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 4: in their life, how what we did impacted and affected them. 184 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: And we're going through every single significant choice that we 185 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 4: made in our lives and observing its effect on ourselves 186 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 4: on others over time longitudiny. So it's a very powerful process. 187 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 4: It takes a while. We're supported by guides, and we 188 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: do a tremendous amount of learning in this process. It's 189 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: just it's huge. It's a monumental re experiencing of life 190 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: from all perspectives. Then there are other steps that we 191 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 4: can see in the afterlife. But fairly soon we reunite 192 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 4: with our soul group. And as I think many people 193 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 4: are aware of, the soul group is based our family. 194 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: It's our spiritual family, and there's any work between oh 195 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: I don't know, six and twenty or so souls in 196 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 4: each group. And then there are a lot of adjacent 197 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 4: soul groups that connect to our own. We're not only 198 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: involved our own soul group. You could think of it 199 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 4: like a neighborhood. The soul group lives in one house 200 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 4: and a little family together, and then there are houses 201 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: that are next door and across the street and down 202 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 4: the street, and these are all adjacent soul groups with 203 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 4: whom we often have very significant and powerful connections of 204 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 4: love and with whom we reincarnate. Typically, we often reincarnate 205 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: with our own soul group at the same time, the 206 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: same place, in various relationships. 207 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 3: This is a good time to take our first break, 208 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: and then we'll be back with doctor Matthew McKay. He 209 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: talks about some interesting things and he explains reincarnation in 210 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: a way I've never heard before. 211 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 5: So we'll be back. 212 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeart 213 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 214 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 5: Stay right there, there's more.

This is the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast 228 00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 7: AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 229 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain, 230 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: and this episode is dedicated to Professor Matthew McKay and 231 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: the way he learned to communicate with his son Jordan. 232 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: Some of the concepts that he brings up are new 233 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: to me. And whether it's this episode or any episode 234 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 3: of mine, or anybody that talks about the afterlife, use 235 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: what fits to empower you in your life. If you 236 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: can imagine going into a clothing store and maybe you're 237 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: looking for a coat, you try on different coats, Maybe 238 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: none of them fit, maybe a couple of them fit, 239 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: those that fit, those that make you feel great, take 240 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,119 Speaker 3: them for your life. That's the same with different concepts 241 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: around the afterlife. For all the billions of people who 242 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: have ever lived, and the billions of ways that we've 243 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: lived our life, I have a sneaky suspicion that there's 244 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 3: not just one exact way that we experience our transitions 245 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: depends on our beliefs and so forth. So now we'll 246 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: get back to doctor McKay and he's talking about soul 247 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: groups and reincarnating as soul groups. 248 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: We often reincarnate with our own soul group at the 249 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 4: same time the same place, in various relationships. Others from 250 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 4: adjacent groups will be part of our incarnational existence. So 251 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: we return to our family and to our neighborhood essentially, 252 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 4: And in the soul group, initially there's just a big 253 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 4: celebration and in the afterlife there's a lot of fun. 254 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 4: I just want to mention that that there's music, there's games, 255 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 4: there's partying literally partying where people get together and just 256 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 4: enjoyed the love of each other and catch up and communicate. 257 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 4: There's a little lot of things that we do in 258 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: the afterlife that are really pleasurable and recreational. And we 259 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 4: do that in our soul group as well as a 260 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 4: particularly soul group that Jordan is and they call it 261 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 4: the Farm because in the afterlife you can create images, 262 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 4: and so whatever you actually think or imagine, you can 263 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: create that image in such a way that it has 264 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 4: a kind of a certain reality. And so that particular 265 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: soul group has created a house that looks like a farmhouse, 266 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 4: and for that reason they call their little group the Farm. 267 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 4: And of course there's a celebration, there's an re engagement. Now, 268 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: I just wanted to say something that might be of interest. 269 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: Part of our soul energy always stays in the afterlife. 270 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 4: It always stays, so we are always present in our 271 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 4: soul group. We are always present in the afterlife even 272 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 4: though we incarnate, and so when we incarnate, part of 273 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 4: our soul energy enters a body, but part of our 274 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 4: soul energy always remains in the afterlife. So we reunite 275 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: with the part of our energy that has always been there. 276 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 4: It's more full and vibrant energy because now all of 277 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 4: our energy is in one place. But it is also 278 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 4: an opportunity now to do more learning. So a lot 279 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 4: of what we do and should have fun is we 280 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: engage in a lot of learning. There are guys who 281 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 4: are specialty teachers that come in to our Soul group 282 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 4: and offer lessons about all manner things, but we also 283 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 4: engage in learning in other ways. One of the big 284 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 4: things that we do is we visit the Akashak Record 285 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 4: as part of our learning process in the afterlife. And 286 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 4: the Akashak Record is, I'm sure many know you can 287 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 4: think of it as a gigantic library and in its 288 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 4: contained everything that's ever happened. It's everything that's ever happened, 289 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 4: particularly everything that's ever happened to any conscious entity conscious 290 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 4: of soul, and a lot of the Akashak Record also 291 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: involves incarnations and what each soul did in the incarnation 292 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 4: on many, many countless planets, because we incarnate on many 293 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 4: many different planets, Earth being one of the more difficult ones. 294 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 4: So we do a lot of studying of that, and 295 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 4: part of that is studying the life we lived, but 296 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 4: also the life that we might have lived. So we 297 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 4: can actually in the caution record, we can look at 298 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 4: what if I decided something else, and then a chapter 299 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 4: opens and we can now see the outcome of what 300 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 4: that would have looked like had we made that other choice, 301 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of learning that comes from that, 302 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 4: and we can do the same thing with other souls. 303 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: We can go back and take a look at Abraham 304 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 4: Lincoln and see, okay, what would have happened if he 305 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 4: didn't sign the Emancipation Proclamation. What would have been the 306 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 4: outcome we're going to see, We could study that. So 307 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 4: we're studying outcomes, we're studying what happens when you do 308 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: X and Y and z, and there's just so much 309 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 4: learning there. So it's not just what I did, but 310 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 4: what I might have done, or choices that were potential 311 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 4: but never made. So it's a beautiful opportunity and when 312 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: we certainly close up the record, that chapter becomes null. 313 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 4: It's not like a parallel universe. It's just a possible 314 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: universe that exists just as long as we were observing 315 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 4: it and learning from it, and then close it, it goes 316 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 4: back into kind of avoid state. 317 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 3: I wanted to ask, because Jordan never said, Dad, I 318 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 3: know you're going through pain. This is the point of 319 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 3: being there on earth. 320 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 4: I think that's the greatest gift he's given me, is 321 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 4: a sense of our purpose here. Why do we come 322 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: to this place that's so painful, where we go through 323 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 4: such struggle. And I think a lot of people feel 324 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 4: like pain is a bad thing. It's like a sign 325 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 4: of failure. It's like something we've done wrong. We shouldn't 326 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: have pain. But in fact, we come to a physical 327 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 4: world under a body that has a nervous system, so 328 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 4: that we can actually encounter pain. And so why would 329 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 4: we do that? What is the point of pain? What 330 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 4: Jordan says is that we incarnate in order to learn 331 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 4: how to love in the face of pain. That's the 332 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 4: main task we have here. We are learning how to love. See, 333 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 4: in the spirit world, love exists without qualification. We just 334 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 4: exist in the state of love. Love is essentially the 335 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: air that we breathe in the spirit world, and it's 336 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 4: what connects all of us. But we incarnate to learn 337 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 4: how to love intentionally, meaning how to love in the 338 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 4: face of obstacles and push back from the world we 339 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 4: live in. Maybe a silly example would be the parent 340 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 4: who comes home is exhausted and is worn out and 341 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: their kid is upset by something and it needs some 342 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: help with their homework and so forth. We have to 343 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 4: love in the face of the pain of the tiredness. 344 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 4: Maybe we had a bad day of work, we're feeling 345 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 4: anxious in the face of the anxiety. Maybe we're upset 346 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: with our kid because they've been misbehaving, and so we 347 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 4: have to love in the face of that anger or irritation. 348 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 4: So that's what love is about. That's what we're learning here, 349 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 4: how to love in the face of these obstacles, in 350 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: the face of the pain, and the pain is teaching 351 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 4: us how to love. It's teaching us how to love. 352 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 4: In the spirit world, there is no pain, and love 353 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 4: is effortless. But we have to learn how to love intentionally, 354 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: and that's what we come here to do. And the 355 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 4: last thing I'll say It's just another comment here is 356 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 4: that everything we're learning we come here to learn, and 357 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: everything we're learning we're uploading to all. So not only 358 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 4: are we learning it as individual souls, but our mission 359 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 4: here is to keep teaching all, is to give all 360 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 4: everything that we've learned and it uploaded. And so the 361 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 4: mission of learning to love in the face of pain 362 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 4: and everything else that we learn about in this existence 363 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 4: is given to all, and all continues to grow and 364 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 4: develop and evolve. Now, some people think that God is 365 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 4: perfect and it doesn't evolve and doesn't grow. That's not 366 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 4: at all true for you, to Dan, God is evolving God, 367 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: all of consciousness is evolving, growing and continually learning. And 368 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 4: the means by which most of God's learning occurs is 369 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 4: us incarnating in physical worlds, and all the things we 370 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 4: learn become part of the knowledge of God. 371 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about God. A lot of 372 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 3: people I've interviewed have had near death experiences and they've 373 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 3: seen whoever the person is from their own religion. Some 374 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 3: people just feel this incredible light and it's this unconditional love. 375 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 3: Can you talk a little bit more through Jordan about 376 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: this unconditional love, this light, this God it's the best word. 377 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, the best way I can describe it is that 378 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 4: all for use the word all actually because God is 379 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: a kind of limited word. So like we have this 380 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 4: picture of some little guy in a white beard sitting 381 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 4: in a big golden crusted chair something, and that's not 382 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 4: what it is. All is all of us. We are 383 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 4: all God. Every single conscious entity is part of all 384 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: and is part of God. And that's why when we 385 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: learn something, God learns something, that's because we are part 386 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 4: of it. And so when you talk about, you know, 387 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 4: feeling the love of God and feeling the love and 388 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 4: connection to God, what we're talking about is oneness. We're 389 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 4: talking about feeling the love of all because we're all 390 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 4: connected with love. That's what holds God together, That's what 391 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 4: holds all consciousness together. And in fact, everything, the conscience creates, 392 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 4: all the world's all the physical, everything is held together 393 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 4: with the gravity of love. So when we're feeling the 394 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 4: love of God, we're feeling that oneness, that deep connection 395 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 4: to all, and the love that holds it all together, 396 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 4: holds all of us together and unites us and connects 397 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 4: us as one. So it's a little different than in 398 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 4: my understanding Jordan's a little different from God is an 399 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: entity personality that showers love out. But Jordan's understanding. What 400 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 4: he's taught me is that we are all God, and 401 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 4: the love we experience is the love of connectedness to 402 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 4: all and everything that exists, and that love is something 403 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 4: shared as opposed to showered on us. If that makes sense. 404 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: It's something that we all share and experience together, as 405 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: opposed to an entity showers us with love. 406 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 3: Thank you for that. I want to read just a 407 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 3: few sentences that I read in your book because it 408 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: deals with doubt. You're led, I'm exhausted. I blow out 409 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 3: the candle. I want to believe everything I've heard, but 410 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: I hate self deception. It's a response I inherited from 411 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: my father, a man who despised the ways people lie 412 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 3: to themselves to justify their needs and actions. But suddenly 413 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 3: it's clear I will have to live with that remembered 414 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: content in order to keep listening. If I want to 415 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: open the channel so my boy can talk to me, 416 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: then I'll also have to live with a doubt, perhaps 417 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: even ridicule Matt. So many people we doubt our own thoughts. 418 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: We worry about what other people have to say about 419 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 3: what we're doing. What would you say that helped you 420 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 3: move through that? You know what, I've got a backbone 421 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 3: to share this, this is reality and to push through 422 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: that doubt. 423 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that what you say is really important 424 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: about pushing through because it's not a matter of certainty. 425 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 4: And actually, some people clients of mine that I've taught 426 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 4: how to channel, and I'm resisted because they say, I'm 427 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 4: only going to channel if I have no doubt, if 428 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 4: I have certainty, and then they don't. They don't channel 429 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 4: even though they could, even though they have because they 430 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 4: are insisting on certainty in order to reach out across 431 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 4: the veil and reach the loved ones on the other side. 432 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 4: So if we're going to say I have to have 433 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 4: uncertainty to do this, and most of us will not 434 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 4: be able to do it. 435 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 3: We need to take a quick break, and I promise 436 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: we'll pick up right where we left off.

I'm Sanders Champlain 463 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 3: and we're with doctor Matthew McKay, author of the book 464 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 3: Seeking Jordan and how I learned the truth about death 465 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 3: and the Invisible Universe. I just asked him about doubt. 466 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 3: Very difficult to think. Are these thoughts coming in my mind? 467 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: Are they mine? Or are they really from someone in 468 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 3: the afterlife. So as we continue on, we'll talk about 469 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 3: pushing through doubt, we'll talk about grief, and he'll share 470 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 3: with us his method of connecting to loved ones and 471 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 3: even our soul. 472 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 4: Clients of mind that I've taught how to channel. And 473 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 4: it resisted because if they say I'm only going to 474 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: channel if I have no doubt, if I have certainty, 475 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 4: and then they don't. They don't channel even though they could, 476 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 4: even though they have, because they are insisting on certainty 477 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 4: in order to reach out across the veil and reach 478 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: the loved ones on the other side. So if we're 479 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 4: going to say I have to have uncertainty to do this, 480 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 4: then most of us will not be able to do it. 481 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 4: But it's just what you said, it's pushing through the 482 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 4: doubt and doubt shows up for me. Still, I have 483 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 4: moments where the thought occurs to me, is this real? 484 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 4: Or something Jordan says makes me wondering, what would you 485 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 4: just say? Does that make sense? And oftentimes even just 486 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: starting the process, I have to start with the awareness 487 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 4: that I have fear that something might happen that might 488 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 4: lead me to believe that it's not true, So that 489 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 4: doubt is there. I've been doing this now for fifteen years, 490 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 4: and I would say the doubt has diminished somewhat, but 491 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 4: it still shows up. And so every time I start, 492 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 4: I usually channel with Jordan once a week. Every time 493 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 4: I start to channel, I can feel a little of 494 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 4: that edge of anxiety that what if something happens here 495 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 4: that makes me wonder if this is true? And there's 496 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 4: a little bit of doubt, And so I have to 497 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 4: push through it because my biggest value is the love 498 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: between Jordan and myself and enact that and be part 499 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 4: of that and engage with him with love. That's my 500 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 4: biggest and I have to do that even though sometimes 501 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 4: there's some doubt. 502 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: It's so tough being human. I tell you, we all 503 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: know this. We have this voice in our head that's 504 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 3: not our biggest champion. 505 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 2: I know. 506 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: Sometimes there's that divine guidance and that self with the 507 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 3: big ass and our soul self. But why do we 508 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: believe the voice of this negativity when we look at 509 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 3: the mirror and mine shows the extra pounds and the 510 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: gray hairs and all that, and it is not my 511 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 3: best friend. Yet we believe it for so many other things. 512 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 3: So push through that doubt. I love that I do. 513 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 4: Remember when I said love in the face of pain. See, 514 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 4: if we're going to engage in a loving way with 515 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 4: the souls on the other side and maintain that relationship 516 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 4: and send love back and forth, we have to do 517 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 4: it in the face of pain here, and the pain 518 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 4: is doubt an uncertainty, and pain is missing that person 519 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 4: and grieving, and then when we try to make contact, 520 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 4: it brings up the grief. So this is another example. 521 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 4: In this case, it's love across the veil. But we 522 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 4: have to hear we have to do it in the 523 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 4: face of pain, and doubt is one of those difficult things. 524 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 3: Agreed, If you wouldn't mind share some tools about how 525 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: we can channel, as you call it, with our loved ones, 526 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,479 Speaker 3: because Matt who's listening right now, could be experiencing some 527 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 3: of the worst grief imaginable, and we want to believe. 528 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: How would we start if you wouldn't mind, We'd love 529 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: to learn. 530 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was one other thing I wanted to say 531 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 4: about God and the afterlife. There is no judgment in 532 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 4: the afterlife. God doesn't judge, or that all doesn't judge. 533 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 4: This whole idea that we have to live this life 534 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: and we're going to be judged at the end of 535 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 4: it and go to hell and go to have it's 536 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 4: completely false and Jordan's just said that over and over 537 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 4: and over again. It's false. There is no judgment in 538 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 4: the afterlife. All we do is go there and learn 539 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 4: from the life we just lived. We're not judged, we're 540 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 4: not ridiculed, we're not examined, we're not turned back because 541 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 4: of things we did. So I just want to really 542 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 4: emphasize that that that's one of the other really important 543 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 4: things about the afterlife is a place of love and 544 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 4: zero judgment, and there are no places where people will 545 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 4: go to and suffer. Okay, how do I channel? Sorry 546 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 4: for that little bit digression, but it's perfect. 547 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 3: We needed to hear it. 548 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 4: So just I would encourage people to just select a 549 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 4: place that you feel safe and secure. I actually usually 550 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 4: channel right here in this room, right at this desk 551 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: and such my childhood desk and my folks gave me 552 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 4: when I was eleven. Find something that makes the place 553 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 4: that you feel safe and set that up as a 554 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 4: kind of a ritual for where you'll channel. Then you 555 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 4: need to clarify the spiritual address of where you're sending 556 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 4: your communications to the afterlife. You can just be aware 557 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 4: of the soul you're trying to communicate by the way 558 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 4: you can channel yourself. You can channel your own soul 559 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 4: energy in the afterlife, and that could be an address 560 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 4: you send community vccasions, you can channel to guides and 561 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 4: so anyway, just be clear on the address, Who is it, 562 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 4: what entity are you? Are you seeking to communicate with? 563 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 4: I think it's sometimes it's very helpful in terms of 564 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 4: communicating to these souls who we knew in life and 565 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 4: have died. Is to have a little talisman, something that 566 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 4: connects us to them, a physical object, something that maybe 567 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 4: they gave us, or something that belonged to them. I 568 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 4: use Jordan, I use actually this business card that he 569 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 4: had that says Jordan McKay that the CEO of Mega Technology, 570 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 4: there was no Mega Technology. He used this to get 571 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 4: into trade shows when he was in high school. But 572 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 4: I keep the card because it just reminds me of 573 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 4: his humor. And it's just the quality of a person 574 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 4: to create a person. 575 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 5: And that's my talents. 576 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 4: But you find one of your own and get something 577 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 4: that nexts you to that person in a physical way. 578 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 4: It really is helpful for I fixation. Just use a candle, 579 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 4: just something that holds your attention. You can look at it, 580 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: but it could be anything. It could be a mandala 581 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 4: or some certain seapoly stone or celtic not whatever. But 582 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 4: find something you can put your attention on, and then 583 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 4: take a breath, and as you exhale, now we're going 584 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 4: to go into the kind of a symbol of a 585 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 4: pasta meditation. As you exail, just form the intention to 586 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 4: open the channel. Bring all attention down to the diaphragm. 587 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 4: Focus on the diaphragm. It's a center of breath, center 588 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 4: of life. On each outbreath count So first out breath, 589 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 4: one second, but two, three, four, keep counting to ten. 590 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 4: If you're starting to feel receptive and open, you can 591 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 4: start moving into channeling. If not, do another round of ten. 592 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 4: So it's just a simple meditation where we attend to 593 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 4: the breath. When there's a thought that comes up, let 594 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 4: the thought go, go back to the breath and just 595 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 4: count each outbreath, each out there, one, two, three, letting 596 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 4: go of thoughts and returning to the breath. Very very 597 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 4: simple meditation. And it's okay when thoughts show up, but 598 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 4: just leave the thought as soon as you notice it 599 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 4: and get back to the breath. So that gets us 600 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 4: into a kind of a receptive state. And the meanwhile, 601 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 4: while you're doing the meditation, just keep your eyes fixed 602 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 4: on the candle. What Ralph taught me is this little 603 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 4: divination to add to this. And what you do is 604 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 4: you visualize at orb just above your head, maybe six 605 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 4: inches above your head, color the sun, and just visualize 606 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 4: it there and then see it elongating into a tube 607 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 4: like connection to the soul you're trying to reach. And 608 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 4: this is the channel opening. We visualize it the orb 609 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 4: and now we just visualize the channel opening all the 610 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 4: way to that soul. And in fact, that's exactly what happens, 611 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: because every soul in the afterlife who we love is 612 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 4: just a thought of way, since we think about them, 613 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 4: it opens the channel. And so the channel is opening 614 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 4: as we are thinking about with love, we're thinking about 615 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 4: that soul that we want to connect to, and so 616 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 4: the channel is now open. I think it's really important 617 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 4: is to make sure that the communications are written down. 618 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 4: So get it in a notebook or whatever. But you 619 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 4: have to paper and have a writing implement and write 620 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 4: your question down, write your first question down, and then wait. 621 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 4: The answer will show up in your mind. But the 622 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 4: answer is being channeled or it's being communicated telepathically, so 623 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 4: just wait. And it can come in different ways. Sometimes 624 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 4: it comes as a big download, just this huge download, 625 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 4: it doesn't even words, just knowing. Sometimes it comes as 626 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 4: an image or a picture. Sometimes it comes as a 627 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 4: few distinct words, you're very succinct. Sometimes it comes as 628 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 4: a phrase, and then you have to wait for the 629 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 4: phrase to turn into a whole sentence, and then you 630 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 4: may wait a little bit for the next sentence. And 631 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 4: sometimes it comes slowly. So it comes in all different ways, 632 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 4: and it's okay. Every way is fine. If it comes 633 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 4: as a picture or just knowing, then you have to 634 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 4: find words to describe the knowing or the picture. But 635 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 4: in every case, write down what you get, whether it's 636 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 4: just a few words, very very compressed information, or in 637 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 4: some cases it's many, many sentences, and just stay with 638 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 4: it until it stops, stay with it until the communication stops, 639 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 4: and then you write down the next question. And the 640 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 4: other thing is the act of writing. Watching the ink 641 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 4: on the page is part of channeling because it actually 642 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 4: puts us in a very receptive state. Literally watching the 643 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 4: ink form on the page puts us in very recept state. 644 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 4: So that's why it's so important in my view to 645 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 4: write down the questions and the answers that come down. 646 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 4: The other reason you want to write down the answers 647 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 4: is you want to have a record to look back 648 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 4: on later. I have lots of things that Jordan has 649 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 4: said to me and I'll go back years later just 650 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 4: read them and go, oh my god, I forgot that, 651 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 4: and that's important and that actually happens to me all 652 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 4: the time. So having the record helps preserve the learning 653 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 4: that you're getting. And you can ask anything. You can 654 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 4: ask how that soul is what they're doing. One point, 655 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 4: I asked Jordan if he incarnated, he had incarnated as 656 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 4: a little girl, and he could tell me some things 657 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 4: about that life if I was curious. But you can 658 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 4: ask about what's happening with the soul right now, what 659 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 4: they're learning in the afterlife. Jordan's talked a lot about that, 660 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 4: He's learning a lot about how to influence people, how 661 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 4: to influence people to see things in new ways. Also, 662 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 4: you can ask about what is going on up there, 663 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 4: what is the afterlife like. Also you can ask advice 664 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 4: for your own life. These souls are very wise. Every 665 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 4: soul has had many, many lives, and they have the 666 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 4: benefit of wisdom that we've forgotten. When they come here, 667 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 4: we leave that behind as part of the amnesia of life. 668 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 4: So they have all this wisdom. So we can ask 669 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 4: their advice. I Jordan about advice about every day about 670 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 4: his sister. How should I respond to this or that? 671 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 4: I asked him the work problems. I asked his advice 672 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 4: while I'm doing a psychotherapy session, I'm feeling stuck, what 673 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 4: do I do now? And he speaks up and usually 674 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 4: it's some that didn't occur to me. And so you 675 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 4: can ask for advice. We can ask for the nature 676 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 4: of reality that we can help let us form a 677 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 4: new or a more accurate cosmology of how things really 678 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 4: are and why we're here. And we can ask about 679 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 4: them and what's going on for them. I think it 680 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 4: is important though, in these communications to convey love to 681 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 4: that so to send them love in whatever form, because 682 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 4: they need our love just like we need their love. 683 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 4: It enhances their existence. So sending love, I think is 684 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 4: an important part of channeling. When we're channeling love when 685 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 4: something side. So that's basically it's pretty much as simple 686 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 4: as that. And after perious silence, when you finish one question, 687 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 4: you can just write another one them. 688 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 3: Let's go for our last break, and there's more to 689 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 3: say from doctor Matthew McKay. We'll be right back. You're 690 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 3: listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and 691 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 3: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 692 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere.

This is the iHeartRadio and Coast 697 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 5: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 698 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain 699 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 3: and we've been listening to professor and psychotherapist doctor Matthew 700 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 3: McKay on how he channels his son Jordan through writing. 701 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 3: If you're anything like me, this is an episode we 702 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 3: want to listen to again with the notebook handy. As 703 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 3: we move on, he's speaking about love and I have 704 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 3: some more questions for him about this channeling process, and 705 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 3: then we also get into the very important topic of grief, 706 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 3: So let's continue. 707 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 4: I think it is important though, in these communications to 708 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 4: convey love to that's so to send them love in 709 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 4: whatever form, because they need our love just like we 710 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 4: need their love. It enhances their existence. So sending love, 711 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 4: I think is an important part of channeling. When we're 712 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 4: channeling love on something the other side, Well, that's basically. 713 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 4: It's pretty much as simple as that. And after purious silence, 714 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 4: when you finish one question, you can just write another one. 715 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 3: That a couple of things that came to mind. 716 00:41:59,760 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 4: One. 717 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 3: I think it's great writing it down because I know, 718 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 3: if I want to talk to my dad, I'll start, hey, Dad, 719 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, it's what are we 720 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 3: going to have for dinner tonight? 721 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 4: Exactly a lot of distractions. Yes, that's a good one. 722 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, So we're writing it down when mister or missus 723 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 3: doubt does creep in though. Something comes out of the 724 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 3: pen and the mind starts to analyze and think, oh, 725 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 3: that's crazy, I just made it up. Do we go 726 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 3: back to the candle? Do we go back to taking 727 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 3: a few breaths? Thank you doubt for sharing. But we're 728 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 3: going to keep going with this push through that. 729 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just keep going, Just keep going. Sometimes he 730 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 4: says something. Jordan says a lot of things to me 731 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 4: that haven't occurred to me before, which is one of 732 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 4: the ways I feel clear about the authenticity of this communication. 733 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 4: But I sometimes you'll say something, I'll go, what is that? 734 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 4: But I just keep going. I just stay with the process. 735 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 4: I asked the next question, or I asked him to 736 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 4: clarify it, or I'll you men doing boy, I'm feeling 737 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 4: a lot of uncertainty, and so he'll just respond to 738 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 4: that at some way. So I bring it into the conversation. 739 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 4: But I think it's important to just keep going, don't 740 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 4: give up when doubt shows up, don't stop stay with it. 741 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 3: I remember when I wrote my book, I had a 742 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 3: writing coach and she says, just let it all flow. 743 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 3: Let it all flow. The time to analyze it is 744 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 3: after after you got your stories out. And I think 745 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 3: two when we do the channel in writing, don't write 746 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 3: a sentence and read a sentence. Write a sentence, read 747 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 3: a sentence. Maybe just be in that flow, be open 748 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 3: and experiment with it. I also think, Matt, that it's important. 749 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 3: I know you say you work with Jordan every week. 750 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 3: There's so many people and myself included, we want immediate results. 751 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 3: We want maybe the lights to flicker on and off 752 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 3: or something so obvious it takes something from us. I 753 00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,919 Speaker 3: think it's not that they can't give us a good sign, 754 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 3: because they can, but to open up that relationship and 755 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 3: keep it going. So would it make sense to make 756 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 3: a date with our loved ones and keep that journal 757 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 3: and today's date is such and such. How often did 758 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 3: you channel with Jordan when you started. 759 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 4: I can't remember. I would channel with him fairly often, 760 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 4: but it might have been about the same interval now 761 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 4: as once a week, I would say. And so over 762 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 4: the course of fifteen years, I've had hundreds of communications 763 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 4: and I've been so blessed to hear from him. And 764 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 4: so I don't think there's any rule about this, but 765 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 4: I do think that people should try to do it 766 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 4: often enough. If they stay connected. It's the same thing 767 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 4: when you're any loved one. You have to talk to 768 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 4: them periodically, and that's what feeds the relationship. And you 769 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 4: talk to them, you connect, You find out what's going 770 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 4: on with them, they find out what's going on with you, 771 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 4: and through that that process, love flows between you. And 772 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 4: I think it's exactly the same thing with loved ones. 773 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 4: In the affli and Jordan has been so clear about this, 774 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 4: I guess I want to say this that relationships always live. 775 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if that person dies, the relationship lives. 776 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 4: That person is just a thought away. They love us, 777 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 4: and the love is still living, still active, still flourishing. 778 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 4: And that's true regardless of whether we connect to them 779 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 4: or not, whether we channel or not. But when we channel, 780 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 4: we get to act on that love ourselves and we 781 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 4: get to bathe in the love. We get to feel 782 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 4: the love, which is such a beautiful thing. That's one 783 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 4: of the things that is so wonderful for me. There. 784 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 4: It doesn't happen every time I channel, but there are 785 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 4: moments when I just feel Jordan's love all through me, 786 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 4: and I feel my love for him inside my body, 787 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 4: and it's just such a beautiful moment, and that's one 788 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 4: of the rewards of channeling is feeling that love as 789 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 4: an act of living, experience beautiful words. 790 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 3: I know personally grief can come on like waves, and 791 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,720 Speaker 3: all the investigating I've done really has helped with the grief, 792 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 3: but the grief is still there. So if we're in 793 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 3: one of those waves of grief, do we wait till 794 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 3: another time to do it? Push through it, include our 795 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,879 Speaker 3: loved one in it. Any words on. 796 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 4: Grief, all emotions are waves, and interestingly, some resources shows 797 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 4: the average emotion lasts less than seven minutes, even in 798 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 4: grief itself. Now there'll be another wave, but all emotions 799 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 4: come as waves, and to not be afraid of them 800 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 4: when that wave comes, allow it to ride it. And 801 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 4: it's also you mentioned one choice we have when that 802 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 4: grief shows up is to turn it into communication, to 803 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 4: open the channel during the period of grief. And I 804 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 4: think sometimes there's complicated things about grief, and sometimes grief 805 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 4: actually blocks the channel. So people are waiting for the 806 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 4: loved ones to show up or appear to them or 807 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 4: give them a sign, and their grief is so powerful 808 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 4: it kind of blocks the channel and the loved one 809 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 4: can't get through but also paradoxically, if you deliberately open 810 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 4: the channel during grief, I think it can make it. 811 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 4: The communication is more intense, more beautiful in some ways, 812 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 4: because now we're just not conveying words, we're conveying our 813 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 4: deepest feelings, our love on the deepest level. So the 814 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 4: grief actually is an opportunity to open the channel with 815 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 4: great power and truthfulness. And the two things here, one 816 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,919 Speaker 4: is don't be afraid of the wave. Let the wave come. See, 817 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 4: people are afraid of grief because they think it's a model. 818 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 4: Oh the grief's gonna come, it's gonna crush me and 819 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 4: down I go, I won't be able to survive it. 820 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 4: But it doesn't work like that. It's just a wave 821 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 4: and a wave of subsides, and after a period of 822 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 4: time there'll be another way. The longer out we go 823 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 4: after the person's death, usually the waves are further apart, 824 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,439 Speaker 4: and sometimes they're a little less intense. But it's also 825 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 4: possible years later you can have a wave that goes 826 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 4: right through the roof and ride it and allow it 827 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 4: and don't be afraid of it, and that wave is 828 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 4: actually an opportunity to connect. I just want to encourage 829 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,240 Speaker 4: people to allow the feeling. On some level, the feeling 830 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,879 Speaker 4: is beautiful because what makes grief so intense is the love, 831 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 4: and so when we allow the grief, we're also allowing 832 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,720 Speaker 4: the love. And I guess I want to encourage people 833 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 4: to do that. And the last thing I will say 834 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 4: about grief is I've learned if I could put that 835 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,919 Speaker 4: way to grieve Jordan's physical absence, and he'd be thirty nine. 836 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 4: I don't get to see him grow up. I don't 837 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 4: get to see him having fa I mean, he was 838 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 4: twenty three when he died. They're not going to be 839 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 4: a family. His girlfriend when he died has a new 840 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 4: partner and has a kid, and I won't get to 841 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 4: have any of that. But I or get to observe 842 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 4: any of that or be part of any of that, 843 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 4: And Jordan, in his life doesn't get to have that. 844 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 4: And so I can have grief about it physical absence, 845 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 4: but I don't have grief about he's gone. And I 846 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 4: don't have grief about the love I have for him 847 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 4: has nowhere to go, or the love he has for 848 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 4: me I can't receive. That is not part of the grief. 849 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 4: The grief is just limited to Oh, his physical presence 850 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 4: is not here, but Jordan is here. Jordan is with me, 851 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 4: and he says that to me all the time. Bill Tarious, 852 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 4: I say it all the time. He's done. 853 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 5: I am with you. 854 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 4: I am with you, and he is. So the grief 855 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 4: is limited when we start really communicating and connecting, limited 856 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 4: to just the loss of that physical manifestation of that soul. 857 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 3: Beautiful words. I spoke with a mom you may know her, 858 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,919 Speaker 3: Maria pay, whose two sons were murdered by her ex 859 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 3: husband and then he killed himself, and she said, when 860 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,359 Speaker 3: those waves of grief come, I think of a good 861 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 3: memory with my boys. I think I have the love, 862 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 3: and then I start talking to them. So that's her 863 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,240 Speaker 3: way in and then really touched my heart. Matt, any 864 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 3: more words you wish to share? 865 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,879 Speaker 4: Jordan asked me to say. When I have an opportunity 866 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 4: to tell a little bit about history in US, is 867 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 4: that He just says, Remember, you will be received, you 868 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 4: will be cared for, and you will be loved. When 869 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 4: you die, he says, the dark door will open and 870 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 4: the light of love take you. So you don't have 871 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 4: to be afraid of death. And also we don't have 872 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 4: to be afraid of the impermanence. Here where loved ones 873 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 4: appear to die, the dark door opens and the light 874 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 4: of love has taken them in and will take us. 875 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 4: So enjoyed being with you then. 876 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 3: And thank you to doctor Matthew McKay, author of the 877 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 3: book Seeking Jordan, How I learned the truth about death 878 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 3: and the Invisible Universe. I hope you give doctor Matt's 879 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 3: channeling a try. Whether you call it automatic writing or 880 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 3: inspired writing, it's all dealing with the same tools to connect. 881 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 3: Our loved ones are with us, and they work with 882 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,359 Speaker 3: us in such subtle ways, and sometimes we just need 883 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 3: to quiet that busy mind to let the floodgates open. 884 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 3: That little voice of doubt will always be there for us. 885 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,399 Speaker 3: But the more we do this, the more we will 886 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,359 Speaker 3: be convinced that it is our loved ones speaking. I 887 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 3: came across a few quotes today that I want to 888 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 3: share with you, not about the afterlife, but about living life. 889 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 3: Often it's very hard to take the first step in 890 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 3: the direction of our dreams, and it may be to 891 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 3: do the practice doctor McKay told us about today. William 892 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 3: shed said a ship in a harbor is safe, but 893 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 3: that is not what ships are built for and Neil 894 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 3: Donald Walsh said life begins at the end of your 895 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,239 Speaker 3: comfort It zonne my friend. It is so difficult being 896 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 3: a human being. But when we venture out of the 897 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 3: safe harbor and we have our eyes focused on a goal, 898 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 3: miracles happen. You can fill the sales with gratitude and 899 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 3: kindness and being of service to others. I think that's 900 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 3: the recipe for a good life. As a reminder, my 901 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 3: home base is we Don't Die dot com.
