Jacob, Welcome back, George. 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: Great to be on your program again. Thank you so 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: much for having me back. My pleasure. We had a 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: great response when you were on the year plus to go, 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you're back. How have things been, Yeah, 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, things one day at a time, you know, 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: that's the way I take it. But everything's going great, 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: you know as well. By you tell us about the 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Wisdom of Jacob's Ladder. It's a great tie. Well, thank 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: you well. The title became, you know, came obviously with 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: my name of Jacob. But I had my near death 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: experience and a ladder and a slide, and so kind 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: of like I believe your name speaks to your potential. 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: So you think of Jacob, Biblical Jacob, you know, when 23 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: he ran away from his brother Esau and the Bible, 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: and he had a dream of angels going up and 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: down the ladder, and it's just very symbolic of my 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: near death experience. But really, you know, this book teaches 27 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: a lot of the lessons that I learned from my 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: near death experience, but it also grounds it. You know, 29 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: it's in my work as a licensed clinical social worker, 30 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: mental health practitioner, you know, and so we you know, 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: in this book, I really roll up my sleeves and 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: go to areas that I found that a lot of 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: people are, you know, looking for seeking answers in their 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: lives and not afraid to go into those dark areas 35 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: to find the light. Jacob, how old were you when 36 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: you have this new experience? I was. I was chronologically 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: just three years old. Oh my god, just a little guy, 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: September of nineteen ninety three. And it's it's remarkable because 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think when you're into this stuff, we 40 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: always say where an infinite spiritual being? Having these human experiences, 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: but sometimes we get stuck in identity of our chronological 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: ages or you know, who we are. And I think 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: in a way, there's there's a you beyond the you, 44 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: if that makes sense, and there's an eternal soul experiencing 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: yourself in this you know, time as a personality. But yeah, 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: it was just quite fascinating. How did you pull on 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: of it? Every day? I'm I'm still I'm still learning 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: each each and every day. You know, I think if 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: you ask new death experience researchers, how long does it 50 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: take the process your experience, they'll tell you two to 51 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: three decades. But I think it's a lifetime where you 52 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: could be able to process it. So it doesn't mean 53 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: that it changed what exactly happened, but you're able to 54 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: look at it, you know, through a different set of 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: lens and more importantly, find more meaning. And you know, 56 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: Life After Breath was my first book which I view 57 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: as my karma, you know, that was my story of 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: my new death experience. But the Wisdom of Jacob's Ladder 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: is more of my dharma, which is the meaning and 60 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: the purpose behind what happened to me. And so it's 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: kind of congruent with my work as a therapist as 62 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: my clients, where what happened to you is not your 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: fault necessarily, but what you come out of it becomes 64 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: the work at hand. And so that's been my work 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: ever since, the experience, to make sense of it, to 66 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: find meaning from it, and to ground it in this experience. 67 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: And I hope I could do justice by readers who 68 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: pick up my book. The biblical version of Jacob's ladder, 69 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: of course, had to do with a ladder to heaven, 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: so that and do you well, I was on a 71 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: ladder into a slide, so I didn't exactly see a 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: ladder to a heaven, but I was in a playground 73 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: and I had a ladder into a slide. But similar 74 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: to Jacob, it came with a lot of distress. You know, 75 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: he was fleeing his brother Esa for his life, and he, 76 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, was you know, fearing death. And that happened 77 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: to me in a sense when I had my near 78 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: death experience and I was suffocated as a result of 79 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: Protussis at Whipping Cough, you know, and I thought this 80 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: was it, you know, and it was end was suffering, 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, and then I surrendered and let go of 82 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: this pain, and I was able to remember that all 83 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: things come back to home, and you know, pain is temporary, 84 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: but the love on the other side, in our connection 85 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: to it, is eternal. But I was able to see 86 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: a lot of angels as well, spirit guides, much like 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: Jacob from the Bible. So that's the similarities, I guess. 88 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: So there is a lot in a name. I don't 89 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: think it's frivol Iss a random and at three years old, Jacob, 90 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: you actually remember this absolutely. People ask me how to remember, 91 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: and in my mind, I say, how could you forget? 92 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: You know, Georgia as a therapist. The reason why I 93 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: think I'm able to remember this is the gift of trauma. 94 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: And if you're familiar with trauma, you know that could 95 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: be a life altering event, you know, where either you 96 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: could disassociate from it or just kind of push it away, 97 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: or it could be so hardwired in your memory that 98 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: you can't forget it. And something like a near death experience, 99 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: which was incredibly traumatic, was gave reason and you know, 100 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: an explanation for why I remember it. I often ask people, 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: and I was in sixth grade at the time, but 102 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: I'll say, you know, let's say September eleventh, what were 103 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: you doing? And people will mostly remember, but then I'll 104 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: say what are you doing nine to sixteen, nine seventeen, 105 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: They they'll have no clue. So when something so pressing 106 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: in life altering occurs to us, you know, I do 107 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: believe we're able to recall. But it's a segue to 108 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: some of the other conversation that will have if you 109 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: know past life memories and how people are. Only for myself, 110 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm able to remember something from thirty years ago as 111 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: a young infant, but people remember my clients are able 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: to remember things from hundreds and thousands of years ago. 113 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: So there's a subconscious memory in life and the ideas 114 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: to make that conscious, to make that aware. Do you 115 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: remember that, Jacob, them sending you back or did you 116 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: do that on your own? It's a good question, George. 117 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: You know, with near death experiences, there's two routes. Either 118 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: you're told okay, you're meant to go back, or you're 119 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: given you know, autonomy, You're given a choice, and obviously 120 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: you didn't choose to stay otherwise they're going to be 121 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: having this conversation, or maybe I'll be coming through a 122 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: medium during coast to coast exactly. But I choose to stay. 123 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: And the reason is is I you know, I was 124 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: posed that question, and I, out of curiosity, said, well, 125 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, if I do stay, what will come in 126 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: this life? And I was given a life review of 127 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: not only this lifetime, which is familiar with life reviews. 128 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: You're able to see images of your lifetime through your lens, 129 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: but also the other people's lens. But I was also 130 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: able to see life reels through a couple of previous lifetimes, 131 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, which I talk about in Life After Breath. 132 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: But I saw that I would be helping a lot 133 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: of people and speaking about this, and I said, the 134 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: other side is always there, but that window to bring 135 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: the hereafter into this here now is even more beautiful 136 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: than heaven itself. And I couldn't deny that opportunity. Jacob, 137 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: what does the afterlife mean to you at this point? 138 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: The afterlife, I would say, is not something far away. 139 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: It's in the doorways of our inner being. It's the 140 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: core of who we are. It's it's the innermost part 141 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: of us that's connected to it. And so I think 142 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: with a lot of people, they'll in our world, we're 143 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: used to traveling millions of miles away and grinding it 144 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: out to get to something good or to find something. 145 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: But you know, the afterlife to me is in the 146 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: backyard of your inner being and you're you're always connected 147 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: to it. But it connects you your loved ones on 148 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: the other side, your guides, and you know, connects you 149 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: to hire awareness. And so I and my near death experience, 150 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: I experienced the brain as as a filter between the 151 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: two worlds, you know. And I say that because my 152 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: brain once it was deprived of oxygen due to suffocation 153 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: shut down, and that's when I had this connection with 154 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: the afterlife. And so I think the brain is a 155 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: great ally between the afterlife in this life, and when 156 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: you're able to really open up your brain, you could 157 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: have a clear filter between the two worlds. But to me, 158 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: it's a high high and awareness in a sense the 159 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: afterlife that you could connect to. Do you think everybody 160 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: should have some experience with the afterlife? Somehow? I think 161 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: we all do. And you know, I think we've all 162 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: been born, we've all crossed over. It's all in us. 163 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: It begs the question though, as to why maybe five 164 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: to ten percent of the population have new death experiences. 165 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: Why not everyone yeah, I still don't understand. But I 166 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: think particularly young children have a lot more clarity of 167 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: the other side because they're not as conditioned or programmed 168 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: in this human experience. But certainly it could help. Now, 169 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: what I'll say is if we were to be there, 170 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: we would so I think we're meant to be here 171 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: as human beings. But it doesn't hurt to try to 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: open ourselves to connect to it because it could be 173 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: a great GPS and guiding force in our life. But 174 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are aren't used to that. 175 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: They're used to other people telling them truths or needing 176 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: to look outside themselves for it to you know, religious 177 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: you know organization, you know religious religious programming that we've 178 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: been raised in, and so you know, connecting to this 179 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: is a very empowering move where instead of looking and 180 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: facing outside yourself, you turn within and you could connect 181 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: to droplets of the afterlife and you know, which I 182 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: think is just guiding forces within your life, you know, 183 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: to propel you to greater heights. Does it make everybody 184 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: who has been in the afterlife with a near death 185 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: experience when they come back, even though you were three? 186 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: But does it make you a better person? That would 187 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: be the hope, right. You'd have to ask my family that, 188 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: because the Grahamdas would say, if you think you're good, 189 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: you just have to ask your family and they'll tell 190 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: you the full story. But I try to walk to talk. 191 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: What I'll say is, you know, everything that I do 192 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: in my life, you know, is driven by that new 193 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: death experience. And while I say that is I was lifeless. 194 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: I had nothing going on when I was suffocated, and 195 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: then in moments later, I was given back this, this 196 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: breath of eternity, hence the title life after breath, And 197 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: so my duty and job in this lifetime is really 198 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: to give back all that I was given. And I 199 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: think there's two different types of people, really, and sometimes 200 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: we've askelated between the two, that there are givers and takers, 201 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: And at least for me, the closest realization of God 202 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: or higher consciousness would be to give in to you know, 203 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: bring forward, you know, beauty to others in the world 204 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: around you. Since you've been doing this, you're becoming a 205 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: hypnotist therapist as well. Do you do past lives? Yeah, 206 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, It's it's funny because a lot of people 207 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: who come to me think that Past life regression is 208 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: a past life reading, which you know, different psychics or 209 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: mediums could do. But I you know, past life regression 210 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: is a form of hypnotherapy and you guide clients, you 211 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: know too, you know, different incarnations through hypnosis, you know, 212 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: in working with the subconscious mind. So it's really the 213 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: client that is able to access their own lifetimes, previous lifetimes. 214 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just a guide. But I was very 215 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: driven to get into past life aggression for several reasons. 216 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: But you know, one of them was in a way 217 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: again to give back, you know, some of what I 218 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: saw and its experience, and to allow people to do 219 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: these aggressions. And they do past life aggressions successfully. You 220 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: could find that same exhalation that we've lived many lives, 221 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: we've died, many deaths, and we you know, continue on. 222 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: So that's um, you know, something that many people have 223 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: and it helps with grief, you know, and in their 224 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,359 Speaker 1: people's ability that see themselves more than just a body. Absolutely, 225 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: give us a little synopsis of the Wisdom of Jacob's 226 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Ladder Jacob as the Wisdom of Jacob's Ladder is very 227 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: deep book, you know, filled with tools for people to 228 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: access this consciousness that I experienced in my near death 229 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: experience that they can incorporate in their everyday lives. So 230 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: it touches on areas of mental health, It touches on 231 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: areas of past lives. It even touches areas with grief. 232 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: So I use belief you know, within the afterlife as 233 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: a tool for grief, but also address it on a 234 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: level as a psychotherapist too, So it addresses both the 235 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: human part and the spirit part. It doesn't bypass or 236 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: ignore one or the other, but it's it's a way 237 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: of bringing the hereafter for the here now, so that 238 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: we don't have to wait until we die to get 239 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: to heaven, but rather we can incorporate some of this 240 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: stuff within our energyps of our everyday lives to live 241 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: a more enriched life and to have a deeper gear 242 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: that we live by. How many people have a near 243 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: death experience and don't want to come back, you know, 244 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: it's it's hard. It's it's hard to know because I think, 245 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: like I said, you know, you're either posed two questions, 246 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: But it would be interesting to say people who have 247 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: had neared its experiences and decided to come back. And 248 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: I think obviously you decided to not come back, and 249 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: obviously you would need, you know, an evidential medium to 250 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: maybe pick on pick up on that loved one. But 251 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: I would say it's it's probably more so that you're 252 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: told that it's not your time than you're given autonomy, 253 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: if you ask me, from what I've researched. But I 254 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: have no data to back that up. But you know, 255 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: it's interesting as to why some people are told, you know, 256 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: you don't need to come back. You're given a choice 257 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: in some people you know are given are you know, 258 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: are told they need to come back. I don't know why. 259 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: You know. I could ask some clues, but I don't 260 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: know factually why yours three years old. Did they send 261 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: you back or did you come back on your own? No, 262 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: I decided to come back on my own at three 263 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: years old. Talk about decisions, right really, But but you know, 264 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: life altering, yeah, I don't. I mean, I never saw 265 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: myself as my chronological age, you know, especially in that 266 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: nartive experience, people said, oh my god, you were so young. 267 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: I believe two things could be true at the same time. 268 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: Or yes, technically it was two years old, but also 269 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: I experienced this through the depths of my inner being, 270 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: which was an eternal, timeless soul, and so that's kind 271 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: of like vacillated between the two. But ultimately once I 272 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: really crossed overs, when I really connected to myself beyond 273 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: my personality as three year old you know, Jake and 274 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, So it's it's an interesting phenomenon. 275 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 276 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: one am Eastern and go to Coast to Coast a 277 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: m dot com for more
