Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast. George Nori with you.
Speaker 2: John Thomas with us as a classic Silicon Valley tech guy.
Speaker 2: After receiving his chemical engineering degree, John worked for many
Speaker 2: years in various technical fields, including software, semiconductors' advanced battery technologies,
Speaker 2: and along the way he was able to see the
Speaker 2: environmental impact of these technologies and he developed a deep
Speaker 2: appreciation for those companies that were serious about creating sustainable
Speaker 2: practices protecting the environment as well. In Channel Messages of Hope,
Speaker 2: John led the more technical interviews and participated with Carolyn
Speaker 2: Thomas and most others. He's currently the CEO of a
Speaker 2: startup developing highly sustainable technologies in the food and agricultural industries. John,
Speaker 2: welcome to the.
Speaker 3: Program, Jurage. It's a pleasure. Thank you.
Speaker 2: How did you get involved in this sub took better
Speaker 2: of Challenging Messages of Hope.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Carolyn Thomas, my wife. She is
Speaker 3: the primary author, the interviewer, the inspiration and you know,
Speaker 3: I can go into what her background too, but what
Speaker 3: happened is when she came up with this idea. It
Speaker 3: turns out it was not her idea. It was actually
Speaker 3: an idea from a group that we'll call the Council
Speaker 3: for Now to talk about messages of hope around global
Speaker 3: warming and the climate change because there's so many people
Speaker 3: that are very concerned about this right now and they
Speaker 3: really don't know where things are going or whether we
Speaker 3: should have hope. They see so many issues and you know, unresolved,
Speaker 3: you know, situations around the globe. Actually, so when Carolyn
Speaker 3: started talking to different souls about this, obviously we needed
Speaker 3: to talk some of the highly technical souls and so
Speaker 3: that is not really her background. So she asked me
Speaker 3: to join at that point to aid in interviewing of
Speaker 3: the more technical souls around some of the aspects of
Speaker 3: climate change. And so that's how I got involved. And
Speaker 3: so I got in. It was about the fourth interview
Speaker 3: in although I was clearly aware of everything that was
Speaker 3: going on, and then with Sam and Carolyn, I participated
Speaker 3: from that point going forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam Markin was the channeler, right, that is correct,
Speaker 2: And tell us a little bit more about Carolyn.
Speaker 3: So Carolyn is you know, we we live here in California,
Speaker 3: We're in Silicon Valley, and Carolyn has worked in different
Speaker 3: fields such as finance, things like that. She has a
Speaker 3: degree in business and marketing. But she's always had a
Speaker 3: very spiritual aspect to her seeking, I guess we can say.
Speaker 3: And Carolyn retired actually a little while back out of
Speaker 3: doing some work. She was working in some various tech companies.
Speaker 3: She worked in venture capital for a while that she
Speaker 3: retired on that and so she's been on kind of
Speaker 3: a spiritual path ever since. And so the idea for
Speaker 3: this book came to her kind of threw a little
Speaker 3: bit of a meandering path. It all started with her
Speaker 3: relationship with Sam.
Speaker 2: Now, how did you key in on the individuals that
Speaker 2: are in the book? And I'm going to buzz through
Speaker 2: some of the names here that we'll be talking about tonight,
Speaker 2: and that's quite extensive, but they include Senator John McCain
Speaker 2: who passed away in twenty eighteen, Nicola Tesla, Mark Twain,
Speaker 2: Jacques Gusteau, Albert Einstein, Well Hat Mascon, the President, Theodore Roosevelt,
Speaker 2: Saint Francis of a CC, Richard Nixon who died in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four, doctor Wayne Dyer, who was a guest
Speaker 2: on our program many Times, President Reagan, how did you
Speaker 2: key in on these people?
Speaker 3: Well, at first, Carolyn came up with her list, and
Speaker 3: you know, it came to her in several different different ways.
Speaker 3: She came up with her list, but she was really
Speaker 3: getting downloads, as she calls them, from her primary let
Speaker 3: me say, spiritual inspiration on the other side, who is
Speaker 3: a member of what we would call the Council, which
Speaker 3: we consider highly ascended masters such as Saint Francis, souls
Speaker 3: like that, And so she felt drawn to the souls
Speaker 3: through the research she was doing. And you know, when
Speaker 3: she came up with the insp to make this Messages
Speaker 3: of Hope focused on this first book on climate change,
Speaker 3: she had to do a lot of research. She both
Speaker 3: to come up to speed on what's going on around
Speaker 3: climate change. We're not climate scientists here, We're just people
Speaker 3: that are concerned and you know, very interested in the topic.
Speaker 3: But you know, during the course of putting the list together,
Speaker 3: getting downloads from the Council, and so the interviews really started.
Speaker 3: And it's a very as you mentioned you went through
Speaker 3: the names, it's a very a diverse mix. We have
Speaker 3: everything from policymakers to technologists, to spiritual leaders to preservationist conservationists.
Speaker 3: It's a wide mix, and I think that turned out
Speaker 3: to be a good decision because we've got very interesting
Speaker 3: perspectives from the various souls. Now, I'll also tell you
Speaker 3: in the interviews started with the souls, the souls also
Speaker 3: led us to talk to other souls. For instance, Stephen
Speaker 3: Schneider said, you really need to talk to Jacques Cousteau.
Speaker 3: That seems kind of obvious, but it didn't really occur
Speaker 3: to us at the time. Albert Einstein wanted us to
Speaker 3: talk to Malava Einstein, his wife when he was in
Speaker 3: a body, and we're like, oh, why would we want
Speaker 3: to talk to Malava. Well, when we talked to Malava,
Speaker 3: we found out exactly why. And here's one that might
Speaker 3: surprise you. Nikola Tesla, when we asked him who else
Speaker 3: should we talk to, he said Samuel Clemens. And that
Speaker 3: was really a head scratcher for us. Samuel Clemens, Okay,
Speaker 3: that's Mark Twain. That's his pen name was Mark Twain.
Speaker 3: Most people know that. But there was a very specific
Speaker 3: reason he wanted us to talk to Samuel Clemens. And
Speaker 3: we never would have come up with that association if
Speaker 3: I hadn't been for Tesla's suggestion.
Speaker 2: And what was the method that you used John to
Speaker 2: interview these people? Were they talking through Sam Larkin? Is
Speaker 2: that how that worked?
Speaker 3: So Sam is what we would call a voice channeler.
Speaker 3: So just a little bit of background on Sam. Sam
Speaker 3: and Carolyn have known each other for over a decade.
Speaker 3: Sam is not a professional channeler. She didn't do this
Speaker 3: for her business, but she realized early on that she
Speaker 3: had highly intuitive talents for animal communications. And we were
Speaker 3: having some trouble with one of our cats at a
Speaker 3: certain time, and that's how Carolyn found Sam, and she
Speaker 3: was doing some intuitive channeling to help us with the
Speaker 3: animal situation. And then what happened is that Sam later
Speaker 3: started getting what she called very high vibration messages that
Speaker 3: were in tended for Carolyn. She didn't know what soul
Speaker 3: they were coming from, what necessarily was going on, but
Speaker 3: they were intended for Carolyn. So Carolyn and Sam had
Speaker 3: the idea to contact the soul so that Carolyn could
Speaker 3: find out what the soul was trying to lead her
Speaker 3: to or tell her. And when Sam channels a soul
Speaker 3: like that and voice channeling, the soul goes through her,
Speaker 3: through her, it comes into her body and actually takes
Speaker 3: over her vocal cords, so we would get the different accents.
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine starting up an interview with John Muir
Speaker 3: and hearing Sam start talking with a Scottish accent, and
Speaker 3: it was really quite amazing. And Sam can feel the
Speaker 3: energy of these interviews, but she doesn't recall the content
Speaker 3: at all, so we would have to tell her after
Speaker 3: the interview was done. And we recorded these interviews actually
Speaker 3: on our website channel Messages of Hope. There are audio
Speaker 3: excerpts from a variety of them, so you can hear
Speaker 3: from some of the you know, the real important souls.
Speaker 3: All of them are, of course, So that's kind of
Speaker 3: how it started. And so after Sam channeled the soul
Speaker 3: what Carolyn called Baba, who is a member of the Council,
Speaker 3: an ascended Master, and after Carolyn got some communication going
Speaker 3: that way, she had the idea with Sam of well
Speaker 3: maybe we could channel other souls, and so Carolyn the
Speaker 3: first one that the channel was actually David Bowie, who
Speaker 3: is not an interview soul for this book, but it
Speaker 3: was someone that was very important to Sam. And Carolyn
Speaker 3: was thinking, well, I get to talk to, you know,
Speaker 3: an important soul for me. But Sam doesn't have that opportunity.
Speaker 3: So Carolyn did the interview or the conversation with David
Speaker 3: Bowie and was able to relate that back to Sam.
Speaker 3: So then Carolyn had the idea, Wow, if we can
Speaker 3: do that, we could talk to a variety of souls,
Speaker 3: or we could try to And Carolyn's original idea was,
Speaker 3: you know, with so many things going on in the
Speaker 3: world right now, not just climate change, but you know,
Speaker 3: we might got our nation is very divided in a sense,
Speaker 3: and the politics and perspectives, we have wars going on
Speaker 3: at different places. Carolyn was thinking, if I can talk
Speaker 3: to other souls in these areas, maybe I could provide
Speaker 3: messages of hope in a variety of different let's say categories.
Speaker 3: But you know, after thinking through that and the number
Speaker 3: of souls, that it would just be too hard to
Speaker 3: do that. So when she was talking through Sam to
Speaker 3: Baba and she was talking about this inspiration for this
Speaker 3: Messages of Hope book, Boba informed her, well, that was
Speaker 3: not really your inspiration. That was a download from the council.
Speaker 3: It was really our idea. And when if you read
Speaker 3: Carolyn's introduction in the book, she says she had the
Speaker 3: inspiration for this, you know, in the shower one day,
Speaker 3: out of the blue, which is how the souls communicate
Speaker 3: with us in many respects, providing inspiration the aha moment.
Speaker 3: And what Baba told her is that what they see
Speaker 3: on the other side from the council is that there's
Speaker 3: many things going on on Earth. All of us in
Speaker 3: a body are experiencing many things, but Mother Earth, which
Speaker 3: is a soul which has a higher self, was really
Speaker 3: struggling and they could see that on the other side,
Speaker 3: and so Baba wanted her to focus more on what's
Speaker 3: going on with the Earth, which is climate change and
Speaker 3: global warming and a variety of things like that. So
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of the long story of how we,
Speaker 3: you know, how we communicate with the souls, and how
Speaker 3: we got to the topic.
Speaker 2: How long did you interview each soul?
Speaker 3: Well, a typical interview was forty five minutes, not longer
Speaker 3: than an hour. And first of all, for Sam who
Speaker 3: was not really in her body in a sense, it
Speaker 3: was not something she could just keep doing for hours
Speaker 3: at a time. That was probably her limit in terms
Speaker 3: of how she could hold it in the energy it
Speaker 3: took from herself. But the souls also told us that
Speaker 3: it takes a lot of energy for them to communicate
Speaker 3: in this way, so it was not We kind of
Speaker 3: got to the understanding that that forty five minutes to
Speaker 3: an hour, that's where we needed to keep it. Now.
Speaker 3: We did have some interviews, or we did two interviews,
Speaker 3: but that was because we wanted to go back and
Speaker 3: do some follow up questions, like Senator John McCain was
Speaker 3: one of those examples.
Speaker 2: Is one of the biggest topics that you can recall, John,
Speaker 2: that came from this.
Speaker 3: Well. You know, since we were talking to policymakers through
Speaker 3: spiritual leaders, they all had a different take, but the
Speaker 3: one big topic and Saint Francis really made this clear
Speaker 3: for me at least, and other souls have the same message.
Speaker 3: One is that we are all one. It's not Man
Speaker 3: is up at some level and nature and animals are
Speaker 3: at another level. We are all connected at the same level,
Speaker 3: and that includes Mother Earth herself, who has who has
Speaker 3: a soul and needs to be revered in the same
Speaker 3: way that we would reverew other humans that we're in
Speaker 3: contact with. If you're an animal lover, you probably have
Speaker 3: the same point of view I do that you know
Speaker 3: our animals are precious that Saint Francis really made it
Speaker 3: clear that we're all connected, and that really kind of
Speaker 3: it changed the game, at least for me. So that
Speaker 3: was kind of the spiritual side. John Muir for example,
Speaker 3: said we need to treat Earth like it's a church.
Speaker 3: That's the level of respect that we need to have.
Speaker 3: And Mother Earth is not feeling respected in what we've
Speaker 3: been what's been transpiring really in the industrial age. So
Speaker 3: that was the spiritual side. Now, if you talk to
Speaker 3: the conservationists or the more technical people, they had very
Speaker 3: specific messages and well, one of the messages is there's
Speaker 3: you know, for people that are really feeling despair and
Speaker 3: they see, you know, the ice cap is melting and
Speaker 3: where is this all going. There is a lot of
Speaker 3: work going on here, you know, on Earth. The technical work,
Speaker 3: and one of the biggest topics is around energy generation
Speaker 3: and it will be the concept of nuclear fusion. Right now,
Speaker 3: nuclear reactors are a scary concept for a lot of
Speaker 3: people because they generate radioactive waste that's nuclear fission. But
Speaker 3: nuclear fusion is a one hundred percent clean energy that
Speaker 3: doesn't generate any waste, and there have been some technical
Speaker 3: breakthroughs on that it's a ways a way, but Albert
Speaker 3: Einstein really made that point. Even some of the policymakers
Speaker 3: talked about nuclear fusion, that that's one area.
Speaker 2: Did you participate John, and all the interviews yourself as well?
Speaker 3: I did. I wasn't. I listened in, but it wasn't
Speaker 3: until probably we got into the technical ones that I
Speaker 3: was actually doing the interviews. But I participated in most
Speaker 3: of them, and I'm well aware of of those interviews
Speaker 3: Carolyn would do. She was, you know, this is her
Speaker 3: project in the sense through the council, So she would
Speaker 3: do a lot of research on each soul that we
Speaker 3: selected and knew what was coming up. She would read
Speaker 3: books to come up with a list of questions. She
Speaker 3: would provide the framework and lead the interviews most of
Speaker 3: the time, except when we got into maybe the more
Speaker 3: technical areas. But yeah, so we both were involved, Carolyn
Speaker 3: as the primary though for sure.
Speaker 2: Of all the guests, of the famous people that you interviewed,
Speaker 2: which one was the one that just stood out the most?
Speaker 3: Well, if you asked Carolyn, John McCain really made an
Speaker 3: impression on her. And when you read these interviews that
Speaker 3: are not just you know, climate change and things like
Speaker 3: that we went into a variety of things including you know,
Speaker 3: what is the soul doing on the other side, what
Speaker 3: was their transition like? And the reason John McCain really
Speaker 3: stood out for Carolyn is that, you know, all the
Speaker 3: souls were very forthright in terms of their experience. And
Speaker 3: she asked John McCain about when he was a pow
Speaker 3: and what that was like, and he said it was
Speaker 3: a very you know, a very bad experience for him,
Speaker 3: but it was something that his soul needed to go
Speaker 3: through as part of his experience and a body. But
Speaker 3: you know, she asked John McCain after this extended five
Speaker 3: year period in the prisoner war and he comes back
Speaker 3: and then when he transitioned, did he encounter his captors
Speaker 3: on the other side? This is the story of forgiveness
Speaker 3: And John McCain made a point that he did, and
Speaker 3: that forgiveness has happened, and actually, you know that was
Speaker 3: in future Channel Messages of Hope books, John McCain will
Speaker 3: be in there on topics like overcoming tremendous life challenges
Speaker 3: and the power of forgiveness and some of the other
Speaker 3: topics she's considering for the next book.
