Carol, welcome back, Great to 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: talk to you. Good evening, George. I'm looking for much 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: for having me back. How have you been very well, 16 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: very well in spite of everything that's going on on 17 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: this planet? Right? Yes? Yeah, Well you know it's an 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: internal state of being well. So I always tell people, 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: no matter what happens, on the outside if you know 20 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: you have control over the inside, and that means with 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: your own attitude and orientation to life. Carol, take us 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: back to the beginning, when you realize that you had 23 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: this gift. Well, it certainly wasn't when I was a child. 24 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: I was in actually my mid thirties really, and I 25 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: had just lost a business to a devastating fire, and 26 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: I was sort of left directionless on the pathway, had 27 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: no clue what I was going to do with my life, 28 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: and floundered around for quite some time. And then I 29 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: started going to a metaphysical center near where I live 30 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: in a small town, and from there, as they say, 31 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: it's all history, because I started taking training and it 32 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: started doing readings. And we're going on about between twenty 33 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: five and thirty years at this point that I've been 34 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: doing offering mediumship readings. Were you scared in the beginning, No, 35 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: I was more. I was lacking in self confidence that 36 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: I could even perceive this, that I could even tell 37 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: somebody something that made sense to them. And actually I 38 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: opened up my book Wisdom from the Spirit World with 39 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: taking readers right into the very first person that I 40 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: sat with, and that was during my very early days 41 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: of training, and so when that occurred, I thought, well, 42 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: it can it can just happen because I'm here in training, 43 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: and you know, there was something magical I thought about 44 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: the training. So when I came back home from there, 45 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: I had to give about ten readings or so in 46 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: order to gain my certification. And when I was able 47 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: to do it, I was jumping up and down like 48 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: a like a child that I was really able to 49 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: do it. Now, in your work, in the book we 50 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: talked about last November, Wisdom from the Spirit World, you 51 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: discuss a number of themes from the spirit world through 52 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: some of your readings. What are you finding out that commonality? 53 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: What does it seems to be doing? Yeah, well, there 54 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: are certain I organize them into there's about eight of 55 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: these that I kept hearing over and over through multiple 56 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: thousands of sessions. And one of those, believe it or not, 57 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: is there's an afterlife. And that sounds very kind of 58 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: mundane or simple, but people need to know that, and 59 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: so you know, spirits will come through and say there 60 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: is something after physical life, and I'm here to tell 61 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: you that that there is indeed an afterlife. So that's 62 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: one of them. Another one that I think is really 63 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: important that people need to know about is the bond 64 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: of love being indestructible, the bond of love being eternal, 65 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: so that relationships are still in effect even though somebody's 66 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: not no longer here physically, in the in the in 67 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: this material world, and importantly too, our power of choice 68 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: determines the quality of our lives. That is something that 69 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: has come through in many readings as well. And some 70 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: spirits do in fact express regrets for the choices that 71 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: they've made, so they want to help their family or 72 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: friends understand that what we choose when we're here really 73 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: affects not only the quality of our life when we're here, 74 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: but also where we go when we cross over, when 75 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: we go into spirit. Why do they communicate with the 76 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: people here? What do they want? Well, as I said 77 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: to say, I amn't really gone anywhere. I'm still I 78 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: am still here. That's why I name my second book, 79 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm Still with You, because I heard myself saying that 80 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: over and over again to clients when I was giving readings. 81 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: He or she is still with you, even with pets. Yeah, 82 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: there have been many readings I've done in which pets 83 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: have come through with people that they knew and loved, 84 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: So why do they do it? Because it's, first off, 85 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: it's a natural ability. Part of my work is to 86 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: sort of demystify this process of spirit communication and not 87 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: make it so woo woo, you know, out there sort 88 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: of thing, and to really kind of take the fear 89 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: away from it and instead bring comfort and healing to people. 90 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: Yet there is some evil associated with this. I mean, 91 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: there are evil spirits out there, aren't there. You know, 92 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: there are, George. But because I am not that way myself, 93 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: and because of the law of attraction, which is a 94 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: genuine universal natural law, I don't attract spirits like that, 95 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: and honestly, I have never had an episode of that happening. 96 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: Now that's not to say that there aren't spirits who 97 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: come in and express regrets who were somewhat evil when 98 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: they were here. That that's happened in sessions that I've had. 99 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: You know, somebody was highly abusive, someone you know, was 100 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: involved in organized crime. I mean these are from sessions 101 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: that I've done. So yeah, I mean, in that sense, 102 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: there are people, there are spirits who when they were here, 103 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: they engaged in you know, kind of bad or negative experiences. 104 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: So but as far as now right, evil you know, 105 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: demons or things like that. I don't attract the type 106 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: of energy some people do though, right, Oh, absolutely yes, 107 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: because unfairy spirits focused, I mean spiritually focused, and I 108 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: am always looking at what's going to benefit the person 109 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: who's receiving this reading. Not what's going to benefit me 110 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: or just saying things to say them, but what is 111 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: going to benefit them. That's always my orientation and that's 112 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: my intent, and so that's that's what comes through in 113 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: most of the readings. But yes, there are indeed so 114 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: called evil energies, and usually they resigned in what's called 115 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: the lower astral. The spirit world has many levels to it, 116 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: and the closer that you get to Earth the dens 117 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: of the vibration, the lower the consciousness, and the realms 118 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: are much darker there than in the higher, light filled realms. 119 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: What would you say is the most important significant thing 120 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: you could pass on to people about the other side 121 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: the spirit world, That there's nothing to be afraid of, 122 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: that there is nothing you mean in the dying process 123 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: or once you get there, once you get there, And 124 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: I would also couple with that that the spirit world 125 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: is very similar to here. It's almost a mirrored reflection 126 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: of what we have here. And you know, I've done 127 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: a lot of study over the years of metaphys iCal 128 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: texts and as well as writing my own material, but 129 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: I've also been very blessed to have direct glimpses into 130 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: what it's like in the spirit world. And I you know, 131 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: these are not extended views by any means, but through clairvoyance, 132 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: which is seeing, I've seen some things there courtesy of 133 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: the spirit who have come through, and it's you know, 134 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: the mid plains or the places where most people go, 135 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: are quite beautiful. The colors are very vibrant. There are 136 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: rivers and trees and flowers, and there are temples and 137 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: schools and healing places, all sorts of things. Anything you 138 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: can think of here, there's an equivalent there, including and 139 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: this might blow your mind, but including different religions. And 140 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: because people are sort of if they left here and 141 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: they were immersed in that religion or they had very 142 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: strong beliefs, they continue to practice that on the other side. 143 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean you have to do that, but 144 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: it certainly exists there. Absolutely. We're with Carol Obli, whr 145 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: website is linked up at Coast to Coast am dot 146 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: com you talk about didn't you have talked about the 147 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: dangers of victim mentality? What does that mean? Yeah, well, 148 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: I mentioned this in Wisdom from the Spirit World because 149 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: victim mentality and I see so much of this today, 150 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: as I'm sure many many in the audience do. It 151 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: really disempowers people because it disavows personal responsibility. And you know, 152 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: acording to what we know about each individual's will, we 153 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: have the power of choice, but we also have the 154 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: responsibility that goes along with that. And if we fall 155 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: into the trap of being a quote victim, it really 156 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: is saying I don't have a choice in the direction 157 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: of my life, and that is absolutely not true. So 158 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: and also it kind of is saying that, you know, 159 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: if you want to take victim, you're defining yourself. You're 160 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: limiting yourself by falling into that trap. So it's really 161 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: vital that people know that they do have a choice 162 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: within them that always, always exists, can never be violated, 163 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: and can never be taken away. You're pretty multifashioned, Carol. 164 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: You've studied astrology, the psychic realm, your intuitive you're a medium. 165 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: How does that all tie together? Yeah, well, I've studied 166 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: astrology for many, many years, and I you know, George, 167 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: I think I've just scratched the surface. Yeah, because it's 168 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: so complex and um so it does mash because even 169 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to talk extensively about astrology tonight, 170 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: but it really is a map of the souls, m language, 171 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: the the the souls intent, and so that's why I 172 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: consider it relevant to mediumship and that's why I've studied it. 173 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: And it also has very important markers in a birth 174 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: chart that tell you what you're lessons are, what your 175 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: karma is, and the direction importantly that you need to 176 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: be going into. So it all kind of circles back 177 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: to you. The soul, the power of the soul, the 178 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: intent of the soul, the direction of the soul. A 179 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: lot of people have had a lot of friends and 180 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: people they know have passed away, not necessarily from COVID, 181 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: but they have died over the last year or so. 182 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of friends. Is that pretty traumatic 183 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: for the living too? Yes? In short, yes, you know, 184 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: I always say that I've studied transition and from many 185 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: years that the phenomena a transition, in other words, moving 186 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: from one point to another. And if you want to 187 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: use the metaphor of a bridge. That's really what transition is. 188 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: We're in point A on one side of the bridge, 189 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: and then we make a decision or something happens, such 190 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: as the death of a loved one, and that is 191 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: a transition for the survivors as well or the people 192 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: who are still here on the physical plane, and especially 193 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: within families. You know the dynamic shifts when someone passes, 194 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: so yes, it is a transition for the person who's 195 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: shedding the physical body, but also those who knew and 196 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: loved the person when they were here.
