00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: from Coast to Coast AM on iHeart Radio. Okay, welcome

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: back to Coast to Coast George Norri with you along

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: with Christie Robinette and Christie's website linked up at Coast

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: to Coast am dot com. Let's now talk Christie about

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: tales from the afterlife. I get so many calls from

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: people who have had animals that have passed on, wondering

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: if there is a spirit world for those animals. Some

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: people have talked about lying in bed and they paw

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: prints of a little dog or a cat that they

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: once had, you know, making indentations on the bed there there.

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: What do you think they are? Yeah. One of my

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: favorite quotes is from Charles Schaltz, you know, and he says,

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: happiness is a warm puppy. And it's true, you know,

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: whether it's a cat or a dog, or a bunny

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: or whatever. Um. We definitely the things that we love

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: we carry with us to the other side. So I've

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: seen more tears shed over pets than I have humans.

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: And even though I'm not considered a pet psychic, um,

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: I definitely have. Uh. In fact, I have got two

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: cats in my lap right now as we're talking. So

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: I have a connection to animals, and I think that

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: you know that there's griefs definitely that comes from losing

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: their own, their furry friend or or not so very friend.

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: It depends on what type of an animal. But they

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: definitely show us different ways, just like human and show

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: us that they're around. You might feel you might have

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: a dream with them, or you might hear someone call

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: out your pet's name. You might feel them jump on

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: your bed, you might feel them calling your lap. There's

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: lots of different heaven hellos that they share to let

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: you know that they're okay too. And you know, and

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: I was raised to believe that animals don't have souls

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: and therefore they don't go into and afterlife, and that's

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: again not what I've witnessed and seen from the work

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: that I've done. We we definitely, they definitely do have souls,

47
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: and they definitely bring us joy. And if heaven is

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: filled with the things that we love and the joy

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: that we feel, then why wouldn't we have our animals

50
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: are are pet on the other side with us? Do

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: they go to the same places that human souls go?

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: I actually do see that that's exactly where they go.

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: And I know that there's some controversy you know, that's

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: connected with that, But I do see that that's that

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: they're going to the same place, which is pretty dramatic,

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: which tells you then that life itself just is all

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: the same. Um, there's there's an energy. Now, I would

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: guess the criticism of animals going to where humans go

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: talking about their souls now their spirits, would be because

60
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: of the religious aspect. Right, They're probably saying, now, that's ridiculous,

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: I'll get a dog go to heaven or something like

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: that if they haven't been baptized or proclaimed you know,

63
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: or you know absolutely, but they've they've got that simplistic

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: souls and they're not necessarily sinners, so they don't have to,

65
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, go through all of that. And even in

66
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: the Bible, and not to get into theological you know debate,

67
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: but pets and animals are mentioned a ton of times

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: in there, and often there they show that there's comfort

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: that they give us, you know, through that even if

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: you if you look at the Christmas story, you know,

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: with the whole nativity, you know, seeing the animals came

72
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: to see Jesus be born. So you know, I think

73
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: that I don't even think I know because I've seen

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: them on the other side, you know, come through. And

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: I've had some kind of funny sessions with people's parents

76
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: or friends who have come through and said, gosh, I

77
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: got your dang cat with me. I never liked that

78
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: dang cat, but I got that dang cat with me anyway,

79
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: because I love you and I'm going to take care

80
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: of this cat until you got here. And um, so

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: there's been some sort of funny, funny type of scenarios

82
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: that have played out with those bringing through loved ones

83
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: animals Christie. A lot of people go into severe grieving

84
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: over their animals that have died. Yeah, real deep, real deep,

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: and it's hard to get through that that grief because

86
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of them, you know, again sort of raised

87
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: with that whole philosophy that I was. And you know,

88
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: we hear about the rainbow bridge and that will be

89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: together again and the poem with the rainbow Bridge. I

90
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: actually don't completely see it that way because in in

91
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: that poem they talk about them waiting for us on

92
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: the other side, so they don't go to heaven until

93
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: we do. But like I said, I actually see them

94
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: go to that other side and they're with our loved ones,

95
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: and then they help meet us and help us cross

96
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: on the other side. Now, they say a dog is

97
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: probably more intelligent than a cat. But to be that

98
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: as it may, do you think those kinds of animals,

99
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: those species that have a higher intelligence, let's say, more

100
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: so than a bird or a hamster or something like that,

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: or a turtle, do they generally go to different plateaus

102
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: in the afterlife. It depends on our love for them.

103
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: And int was I talk a bit about groups um animals.

104
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: So like every bird that you see, you know outside

105
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: and every mosquito that you see isn't necessarily going to

106
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: the other side. That domesticated animals are given an identity

107
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: by their humans, and therefore they don't group like you know,

108
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: like something that you see on the other side. There's

109
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: a bit of a difference. So they they on them

110
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: or get into reincarnation with them, because there can be

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: a reincarnation with both domesticated and and a wild life.

112
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: But your uncle friend is not going to be a

113
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: flee you know, or you know, you know, and Aunt

114
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: Mirna's now wasn't a dinosaur before, or maybe she was

115
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: a dinosaur, but it wasn't a dinosaur before. But um, yeah,

116
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know. I think if we love

117
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: that hamster, and even though another person might not love

118
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: that hamster and there might not be that intelligence, they

119
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: do still go to the other side. And I've seen

120
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: everything from from monkeys to to you know, pet spiders. Well,

121
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I was going to say, what about insects. I mean,

122
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: for example, when I was a little boy, I had

123
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: ant farms. I would raise them, study them. I mean,

124
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: I know as much about ants as most people that

125
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: are experts and insects, and they're very very intelligent. They know,

126
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: they have a group, they have they have a community.

127
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: They just do it all. Do they have souls? Little ants?

128
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that they have a soul, just

129
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: like these either super intelligent as well. I don't think

130
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: that they it's necessarily a soul thing. It's more of

131
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: a love thing. So if you go to the other

132
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: side and you're like, I love ants and I really

133
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: want to be around ants, then you can have your aunts.

134
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: But it's it's not necessarily like they're all milling around heaven.

135
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: Like I don't really want a spider in my heaven.

136
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, a ladybug is okay, exactly. I

137
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: don't want to set or a mosquito. I don't want

138
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: a mosquito there. I'll take a praying mantis before mosquito exactly.

139
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: So I guess when you go to the other side

140
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: and you sit down and you're like, Okay, I'm building

141
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: my heaven and this is what I want it to include.

142
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't want that spider or that mosquito,

143
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: then that's not included in your wish list. What hope

144
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: do you give people who truly are upset that their

145
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: animals have died. Oh that there should I say, passed on? Yeah,

146
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: that's that they're definitely with them. One of my I

147
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: had lost. I'm like I said, I'm a huge pet lover,

148
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: and I had lost on. His name was Cornan. He

149
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: was a great parent nief. He was a huge dog,

150
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: and he was a gentle giant. He was the sweetest

151
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: thing ever. And I was working for a school district

152
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: at the time, had to take some personal time to

153
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: go take him to we we treat our animals better

154
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: than we do some human beings. So I ended up

155
