I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: five years, I've been on a journey to prove the 13 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: existence of life after death. On each episode, will discuss 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: the reasons we now know that our loved ones have 15 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: survived physical death, and so will we Welcome to Shades 16 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: of the Afterlife. Do you ever see signs for things 17 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: and think that maybe you're being pointed in a direction 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: to do something? You know, the same repeated things keep 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: coming up, maybe they come from someone else's mouth. In 20 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: the last episode, I kept referring to the before life 21 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: and the afterlife as if it is the very same place, 22 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: which I believe it is. Doing some research for what 23 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: should be the next episode of Shades of the Afterlife, 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: I found this quote by Arthur Schopenhauer, after your death, 25 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: you will be what you were before your birth. And 26 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: then I received an email from our listener Ruth Anne, 27 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: who shared this story. This happened done Christmas morning when 28 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: my youngest, Michael, was thirteen months old. I have four 29 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: children and the oldest was eight. You can imagine a 30 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: hectic Christmas morning at our house. The kids were done 31 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: opening gifts and playing with their toys. My husband and 32 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: I were opening our gifts to each other. He had 33 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: gotten me this beautiful framed picture of Jesus with his 34 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: arms outstretched walking out of the water. After I opened it, 35 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: I was resting it on the floor, but holding it 36 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: upright so that the kids could see it, and thirteen 37 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: month Michael immediately toddled over and put his cheek against 38 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: Jesus's face and spread his arms around the frame like 39 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: he was hugging Jesus. It was absolutely like he knew him, 40 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: went right up to him and hugged him. We were 41 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: all speechless that morning. Like what just happened? It was precious. 42 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: Ruth Anne mentioned a book by Wayne Dyer called Memories 43 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: of Heaven, and I had the urge to purchase it. 44 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: This morning, I am cuddled in my robe drinking coffee 45 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: on a rainy day as the birds are soaking wet, 46 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: and I thought, together we could read some passages from 47 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: this book about the before life and PS. Thank you 48 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: ruth Anne, and for you listeners. I love hearing your stories, 49 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: so you can always email me with your afterlife stories 50 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: at Sander Champlain at gmail dot com. A mom named 51 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Anastasia shares this story. My son Lucas, when he was 52 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: two and a half years old, declared something profound. My parents, 53 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: my husband, our new baby girl. Lucas and I were 54 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: sitting outdoors on a family vacation and having a fun moment. 55 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: Lucas suddenly said, everything is love. It's all about love. 56 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: We are all made of love, and God is love 57 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: and we are not a family who talks much about God. Stunned, 58 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: I replied Lucas, what a beautiful thing to say. Where 59 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: did you hear that? And after a pause, he said, 60 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: I already knew it when I came here. Wayne Dyer's 61 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: co author of the book is d Gardens, and it 62 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: seems like d did most of the legwork collecting these 63 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: stories and worked with Wayne Dyer to put them into 64 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: the book. Which stories were to be chosen. But her 65 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: experience starting off was when her eighteen month child ran 66 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: over to her, put his hands on her belly and 67 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: just declared baby, baby inside. And she had no idea 68 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: that she was in fact pregnant and thought maybe if 69 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: she was, could only be one or two days old. 70 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: And she remembers these are her words. As I was 71 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: gazing at my boy now, I was thinking to myself, 72 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: somehow I made this little boy with all of his 73 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: physical parts. But where did he come from? How did 74 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: he develop his consciousness? Anyone who has been around babies 75 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: and children will agree that their presence here is beyond mysterious. 76 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Without even thinking, I blurted out with awe, where did 77 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: you come from? And I wasn't expecting an answer, because 78 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: Marcus only knew a few words. To my surprise, he 79 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: dropped his fork, looked up, raised both of his arms 80 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: to the sky, and pointed, and that prompted the next question, 81 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: what is God like? Marcus looked directly into my eyes, 82 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: and so simply and so casually replied in his sweet 83 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: angelic voice. Light At that moment, I understood that the 84 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: little boy sitting next to me and the tea eat 85 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: baby in my belly were so much more than just 86 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: their small bodies. They had souls that contained wisdom from 87 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: beyond this earthly realm, which was far beyond my comprehension. 88 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: If we just listen, I realized they have so much 89 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: to teach us. It was this experience that d shared 90 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: with Dr Wayne Dyer which prompted them to ask the 91 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: world for stories like this. I know in past episodes 92 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,119 Speaker 1: we've talked about children's pre birth memories a little bit, 93 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: and some stories of kids who knew things as if 94 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: they were a reincarnation of someone else. And we've met 95 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: Nicola Farmer, who works with young children who still have 96 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: their imagination wide open and trains them to use their 97 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: psychic sense. That was episode fifty three, and I remember 98 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: her stories about children wild line folded, being able to 99 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: play catch with a ball, being able to do intricate 100 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: arts and crafts, being able to see what people were drawing, again, 101 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: all using their mind's eye. When we are young, our 102 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: imagination is wide open, and you hear stories of kids 103 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: with imaginary friends. Now are they imaginary or are they 104 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: seeing into the afterlife? Kids are very special and don't forget. 105 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: You were one once and you still have that child within. 106 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: Let's hear some more stories. Mom Maureen has this story. 107 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: Years ago, when my three girls were little, I put 108 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: the two youngest ones to bed, telling them to lie 109 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: there quietly and go to sleep. Molly was five years 110 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: old in Caroline not yet two at the time. More 111 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: than an hour after I put them to bed, I 112 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: heard giggling and talking coming from the bedroom, so I 113 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: made my way back to their room to admonish them 114 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: for not going to sleep. As I approached the bedroom, 115 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: I stopped short when I heard Molly ask Caroline if 116 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: she still remembered what it was like before she was born. Yes, 117 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: replied Caroline. I remember picking Mommy, Daddy, Leanna, and you. 118 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: I could see you from up there, and I saw 119 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: Grandma and Grandpa too. They were smiling. Oh yeah, said 120 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Molly slowly. Caroline, I'm starting to forget, I know. Both 121 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: remained oddly quiet and still for several moments, until Molly 122 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: began making silly faces, as she often did. When trying 123 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: to get her sister to laugh and play kids. Talking 124 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: to kids about remembering heaven, I used the word heaven 125 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: because it's the easiest one to pick from. I use 126 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: the word odd and if you have another word you use. 127 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: Many people use light or the all knowing. I do 128 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: try to make shades of the afterlife open to all, 129 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: whether you have a religious belief or not. So while 130 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: not a religious show, personally, I do believe there is 131 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: love and the divine that run through all of us. 132 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: We are all connected to the great Light, so I 133 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: will refer to this as God. Here's a story from Susan. 134 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: When my son Joseph was five, he broke his arm 135 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: trying to fly off the top of his brother's bed. 136 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: I walked into the room to find Joseph crying. So 137 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: I brought him onto my knee for a cuddle and 138 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: asked what's wrong. He looked at me with wide eyes 139 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: and asked, mom, what am I going to get my 140 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: wings back? When I told him that as a human 141 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have wings, could fly kites and planes and 142 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: so on, he burst into tears and wailed, I want 143 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: them right now. All I could do was hug him 144 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: then he gulped, suddenly stopped crying, look straight into my eyes, 145 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: and said, that's okay, mom. I remember God told me 146 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: I could have them back when I returned after this assignment. 147 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: Then there's my granddaughter, Phoebe. She was only four years 148 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: old when my mother died, and everyone had tried to 149 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: explain to her why I was sad. She climbed onto 150 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: my lap and asked, where's Supernana. I told her that 151 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: my mother had died and gone to heaven. Phoebe said, 152 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: so she is with God and the angels. I replied yes. 153 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: She thought about it for a while and then climbed down, 154 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: stood in front of me with her hands on her hips, 155 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: and asked one final question, so why are you still 156 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: sad even now when my grief occasionally only arises. I 157 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: hear this question in my mind and my granddaughter's logic, 158 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: and I am immediately filled with joy. That last story 159 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: reminds me of going to a funeral for a friend 160 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: of mine, and the priest was so positive. He said, 161 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: when someone passes, it's like they board a luxury cruise 162 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: ship and they set off to their destination, which is fantastic, 163 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: best place you can imagine of course left home here. 164 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: We feel sad because they're no longer with us. But 165 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: if we can imagine that our loved one is on 166 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: this luxury cruise liner heading to somewhere fantastic. Pick a 167 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: fabulous place, I don't know, Disney World or the Caribbean, 168 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: somewhere great, and they're having at the time of their lives. 169 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: It's us that feels sad being left behind. But like 170 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: the little girl Phoebe says, why are you sad? Because 171 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: we will see them again and they're having a great 172 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: time where they are. I received an email from listener 173 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: Dania and her son is in the spirit world. She 174 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: told me the story after listening to one of the 175 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: podcast episodes that her grandson, who just turned three in January, 176 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: he was starting to act a little weird going up 177 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: the stairs and he was clingy. You know how little 178 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: kids get nervous meeting a new person, they get very 179 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: very shy. Well, he was doing that and when the 180 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: grandmother asked why he was doing that, he said there 181 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: were people on the stairs, and then he talked about 182 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: seeing her son Corey. So kids are tapped into much 183 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: more than we give them credit for. I think we 184 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: all have natural instincts and abilities. But we get to 185 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: a certain age and our mind kicks in. We start learning, 186 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: we go to school, we have friends, life becomes busy 187 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: in our mind and we forget who we really are. 188 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: Let's head off to the break and then we'll hear 189 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: more stories. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on 190 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal 191 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm 192 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: Sandra Champlain and this is a being Cozy in My 193 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: Pajamas episode, reading the book Memories of Heaven along with you. 194 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: This next story is from Trish. She says, my son 195 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: Michael had p d D, which is pervasive developmental disorder, 196 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: and sometimes navigating the world is differ called for him. 197 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: Yet throughout his nine years he has made more than 198 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: one declaration about God and Heaven. For example, just two 199 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: days ago, completely unprompted, he began talking about how he 200 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: helped God decide who his sisters would be before they 201 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: came here. He said that God is sparkling white, and 202 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: before babies are born, he puts a bright blue light 203 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: inside them, which is always there. He said that everyone 204 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: in heaven is young, like children. It is all love, 205 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: and there are angels everywhere. Michael's ability to articulate all 206 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: of this was breathtaking, a reminder that God is always 207 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: with him, even if I don't see it due to 208 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the challenges he faces. That bright blue light reminds me 209 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: of how people describe our soul. If you can pay 210 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: picture a lake or the ocean, and that bright sun 211 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: glistening from it super bright. For me, it's not blue, 212 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: but it's bright, bright light that's in each one of us. 213 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: So perhaps that's what young Michael saw. This story is 214 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: by Sandy. My family was created through adoption. My son, 215 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: Parker Jose, we called him p J, was adopted from 216 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: Guatemala when he was ten months old. He was born 217 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: with a congenial heart condition, so within the first month 218 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: he had an operation to correct his patent ductus arteriosis 219 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: p d A, which is a hole in his heart 220 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: that should close at birth. PJ was a very good 221 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: nature child who didn't cry when the nurses and doctors 222 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: stuck him with the i v S, gave him shots, 223 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: and took his blood. The health care workers couldnt believe 224 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: how agreeable he was for an ill child. He had 225 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: four operations before the age of five. My daughter, Sedona, 226 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: who was adopted from China, is three years older than PJ. 227 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: I've always said prayers and sung with both of them 228 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: at bedtime. When PJ began to talk as a toddler, 229 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: he would tell Sedona and me about Heaven. He told 230 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: us that God is very nice and that he knew 231 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: he was going to be healthy because God promised him. 232 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: He talked about Heaven's beauty, how there were these vibrant colors, 233 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: especially in the flowers. When he was telling us these stories, 234 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: Sedona would be looking at him, questioning his statements. She'd 235 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: move her finger round and round to indicate he was crazy, 236 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: as kids do. When PJ had his final heart surgery, 237 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: the cardiologist told us the operation was a complete success 238 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: and there was nothing they could do to close the whole. 239 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: The whole was in the center of his heart, so 240 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: it was unlikely to heal and PJ would have to 241 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: take precautions to avoid a fatal heart infection for the 242 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: rest of his life. However, a year after the last operation, 243 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: his annual echo cardiogram showed a different story. A miracle 244 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: had occurred. PJ was completely healed. PJ remembered God's promise 245 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: to him, and of course he was right. He is 246 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: now a healthy thirteen year old. He can't help but 247 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: wonder what kind of information we received prior to coming here. 248 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: The fact the little boy knew he was going to 249 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: be okay, and the fact that he didn't complain or 250 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: cry when they did all those poking and prodding things 251 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: to him. When he mentioned the vibrant colors in heaven. 252 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: I have interviewed so many people that have had near 253 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: death experiences, and they say that there are colors in 254 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: the hereafter that we do not have here on earth. 255 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: And that's kind of mind blowing to me, because our 256 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: imaginations can't create anything other than what we've already seen. 257 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: But they say the flowers are alive and there's beautiful 258 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: music that our ears have never heard here on earth. 259 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: We do have something to look forward to, even though 260 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: living life right here, right now is important. Let's continue. 261 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: Mom Trina tells this story. I had just returned from 262 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: a weekend retreat in which I was totally immersed in 263 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: spirit when my four year old grandson climbed on my lap, 264 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: snuggling as close as he could. He looked me in 265 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: the eyes and very seriously said, I am forgetting how 266 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: to fly. It was a profound moment in my life 267 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: and I have never forgotten it. My grandson taught me 268 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: the truth of where we come from and who we 269 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: are within The truth is so easily forgotten in the 270 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: business of living life on this planet. Constant meditation and 271 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: prayer time help me to remember how to fly. I 272 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: love these stories from kids who know how to fly. 273 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: But when you think about it, being here on Earth, 274 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: we have gravity in the hereafter. We can certainly create 275 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: gravity because we're used to it. But if we can 276 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: control everything we see and experience with our thoughts, why 277 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: not fly? And when Trina brings up meditation, there are 278 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: so many stories of people through practicing quieting their mind, 279 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: which is difficult to do, but you get into the 280 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: space of nothing, and sometimes in that space of nothing 281 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: is everything. Talking about meditation and the brain reminds me 282 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: of a story of Dr Jill Bolt Taylor who had 283 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: a stroke and in her brain one hemisphere of it 284 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: was filled with blood or was filling with blood, and 285 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: she details how she experienced reality. The analytical side of 286 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: the brain disappeared, but the part that she felt connected 287 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: to everything emerged. I watched a video not too long 288 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: ago that said, as much as we believe the left 289 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: hemisphere of our brain is analytical and our right hemisphere 290 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: of our brain is creative, there's actually so much more 291 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: to it, and it was explained, and I think you'll 292 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: find the interesting that that left quadrant of the brain 293 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: handles the things we need to do, our control over life. 294 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: It's the part of us that gets us out of bed, 295 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: brushes our teeth, goes to work. It is analytical. However, 296 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: there's also a part in that left brain which is 297 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: our anticipation of the future. It's where anxiety lives. Now, 298 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: this would make sense if we lived in the Serengetti 299 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: and had lions possibly coming after us to feed on us, 300 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: we would be on a constant state of alert all 301 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: the time. But this left brain of ours keeps us 302 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: in worry in forecasting what might happen in the future. Now, 303 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: listen to this. In our right hemisphere of our brain 304 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: is our imagination. Also, what's there is this feeling of 305 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: being can acted to everything, kind of like that white 306 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: light that shines within each one of us, our divine 307 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: nature that is connected to absolutely everything, and through meditation 308 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: learning to quiet the mind. We have the opportunity to 309 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: strengthen that right hemisphere. People who are psychic and mediumistic, 310 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: which I believe we all are, use that ability of 311 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: their right brain. We need to use imagination in order 312 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: to perceive and receive the information that's coming from the 313 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: unseen world. So I just wonder if we do a 314 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: little more creative work and a little bit more meditation 315 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: to strengthen that right brain, what's possible. Just a little 316 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: food for thought. Let's continue. This story is from Megan. 317 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: My daughter Chloe, who was four, talks about seeing dead 318 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: people in my behind. I she came up with that 319 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: expression all on her own. She had told me that 320 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: before she was born, she remembers sitting in a circle 321 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: with her angel brothers and sisters and her angel mom 322 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: and they were all playing with the ball. She says 323 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: that was the last time she saw them, and she's 324 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: sad because she really misses her angel family, but she 325 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: knows she'll see them again. Ah. In this from Amy, 326 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: my mother had two miscarriages before my sister was born. 327 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: When my sister was three, she told mom that she 328 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: could remember playing with her other two sisters in heaven 329 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: and she was sad because she couldn't play with them 330 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: on earth, as they were really good fun. She told 331 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: mom that they are very happy up there and that 332 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: she will see them again. Paula says, my husband It 333 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: and I lost our first daughter, Beth, due to heart 334 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: problems when she was almost three years old. Our third daughter, Amy, 335 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: born five years after. This hadn't been told about Beth. 336 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: When she was about three and a half. We pulled 337 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: out a video of Beth and Amy says, that's my 338 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: sister Beth. I knew her in heaven before I was born. 339 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: Darlene says, my father, we called him, Grandpa Jones, passed 340 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: away in the spring of and my granddaughter was born 341 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: that fall. When she was about two years old. She 342 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: was sitting in her car seat looking out at my mother, 343 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: who was standing near the car. My granddaughter said, I'm 344 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: so sad for her because she lost the one she 345 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: loved and is so sad. My granddaughter's parents quizzed her 346 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: on how she would have known that, and showed her 347 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: a picture of Grandpa Jones. When they arrived home. She says, 348 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: I know him. I talked to him a lot before 349 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: I came here. This is the perfect opportunity to share 350 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: that if you or someone that you love have a 351 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: child who has passed onto the afterlife, there's a great 352 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: organization called Helping Parents Heal, which not only gives free 353 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: grief support and someone you can contact at twenty four 354 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: hours a day, but they also believe in the afterlife. 355 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: So with that, lead's head to the break. You're listening 356 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: to Shades of the Afterlife on the I Heart Radio 357 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back 358 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sanders Champlain and we 359 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: are talking of out memories of heaven, children remembering before 360 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: they were born. This next story comes from Sherry. She said, 361 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: my son Dustin, was around two years of age and 362 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,719 Speaker 1: we were riding around in the car and he hit 363 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,239 Speaker 1: himself on the forehead with his hand, kind of like 364 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: that commercial that states I could have had a V 365 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: eight And he said, very seriously, Mama, I'm starting to 366 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: forget what heaven looks like. Needless to say, it gave 367 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: me chills. Yes, my friend, we remember who we are 368 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: when we're little. I really believe that, and then we 369 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: grow up a little life gets busy and we forget. 370 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: But wow, And this story is from Kelsey. My two 371 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: year old never wavered in her conviction that I was 372 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: pregnant with her brother. My husband and I chose not 373 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: to find out, but I didn't want her to be 374 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: discipline I did so I said, we may be having 375 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: a girl. No, declared my daughter, you're having a boy. 376 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: I met him in heaven before I was born, and 377 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: she was right. We had a boy. And this story 378 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: comes from Amy. My grandfather was the true patriarch of 379 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: our family. He was often sought out in the neighborhood 380 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: for advice and such, and was a wise and kind 381 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: navy veteran who was the captain of a ship in 382 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: World War Two. He had a long, painful decline due 383 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: to a brain tumor, and his passing was a great loss. 384 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: My three year old niece had never met my grandfather, 385 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 1: although she may have heard of him around the table 386 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: or seen photos. One day, she said something about him 387 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: to her mother, who is not into spirituality, past lives 388 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: or the like. My sister in law, who had never 389 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: met him either, said, oh, yes, Boompa, your great grandfather father. 390 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: You haven't met him, but you have seen his picture. 391 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: My niece remarked, yes, I have met him, Mommy. I 392 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: was with him when he was sick, and he was 393 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: with me before I came down here. My sister in 394 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: law had her repeat what she said and then called 395 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: to her husband, my brother shaking. We were all so shocked. 396 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: Even I am flooded with goose bumps on that one. 397 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: To think the little girl was with him when he 398 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: was sick, being a little angel before life, and then 399 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: they were together after he had passed, before she came 400 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: to this life. Pretty special. And this story is from Mary. 401 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: One day, my three year old nephew was in the 402 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: car and the song only sixteen by Sam Cook came 403 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: on the radio. He said, oh, grandpa loves Sam Cookie. Well, 404 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: his grandpa had died many years before he was born, 405 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: but he was right. Sam Cook was one of my 406 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: dad's favorite singers. I asked my parents if they ever 407 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: discussed this with my nephew, and they said no. So 408 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: I figure that before my nephew was born, he spent 409 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: time with his grandpa. That gives me a lot of 410 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: peace and happiness. I don't know if you have children 411 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: or grandchildren in your life. For nieces and nephews. My 412 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: nephew's wife is pregnant to have the baby, well actually 413 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: any day now, and just to have that thought that 414 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: the little soul who's coming into this earth is with 415 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: family members and friends and maybe brothers and sisters yet 416 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: to be born. It's just a beautiful thought that they're 417 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: all together. And as much as we cry when someone 418 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: passes from this life, I wonder what it's like for 419 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: them when they say goodbye to that little sol coming 420 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: to earth. Are they sad? Maybe? But I think they 421 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: have the knowing that they'll meet again. This is from Janice, 422 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: My mother's identical twin sister, Faye, had died when they 423 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: were twenty three years old. They were best friends. Of course, 424 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: they had leaned on each other even more than regular 425 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: identical twins because of their very difficult childhood. My daughter 426 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: Julia was a very chatty toddler, as many little girls are. 427 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: One day, my mom asked her if she knew who 428 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: Faye was. Julia replied, yes. I was swinging with her 429 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: in the clouds before I came here. We were picking 430 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: out my family and wearing pretty white dresses. No one 431 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: had told Julia about Faye. How could she possibly know this? 432 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: Michelle tells this story. One day my husband and I 433 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: were talking to our son about his grandfather's and showing 434 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: him their photos, as they had passed long before he 435 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: could meet them. Our son was about three years old 436 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: at that time, and he told us that he had 437 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: met my husband's father on his way here to Earth. 438 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: His words were, I know him. He's poppy Henry. I 439 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: saw him on my way to you. And Joanne says, 440 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: when my son was very young, he told me about 441 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: the getting born game. He said that he and a 442 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: few of his friends were in a big church up 443 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: in the clouds before they were born. They were crawling 444 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: in a circle around a hole in the floor, and 445 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: the floor was made of clouds. There was beautiful music playing, 446 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: and every now and then the music would stop and 447 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: one of the friends would go down the hole and 448 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: get born. What was really surprising is I hadn't taken 449 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: him to church when he was little, so I was 450 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: astonished that he spoke of this. Kathy says, my children 451 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: used to refer to a time before they came down, 452 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: which I interpreted as meaning they took human form. They 453 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: spoke often as though they were in a place above 454 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: us and could look down and see what was happening. 455 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: Down here. I used to love it when they spoke 456 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: of it. It reminds me on our Sunday gatherings. We 457 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: have a medium demonstration as part of it, and the 458 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: evidence that comes through is so clear as if our 459 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: loved ones after they transition are still walking among us now. 460 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: It is said, it's a different vibration, meaning to me 461 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: that there is a world within a world. But I 462 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: don't think they're part of our world. I think we're 463 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: part of their world. Wherever you are right now listening 464 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: to this, just imagine, imagine if you could see that 465 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: other world hustling and bustling with people all very busy 466 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: doing their hobbies or learning, maybe visiting the halls of 467 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: knowledge and taking a trip back in time to learn something. However, 468 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: you think of your loved one a fond memory, and 469 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: it's like knocking at the door, Dad, I'm thinking of you, 470 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: and he can press the pause button to whatever he's doing. 471 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: Our loved ones can just stop be with us, enjoy 472 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: being back on earth. Just a thought. This next story 473 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: is by Tina. My five year old son. Math has 474 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: beautiful memories of heaven and his time with God. Our 475 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: first true blue conversation on the subject started on a 476 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: car drive through the country on a beautiful, puffy, white 477 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: clouds in the sky kind of day. He was completely 478 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: engrossed in a video game in the back seat while 479 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: I listened to the radio. About a half hour into 480 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: the drive, he put his game down and asked, Mom, 481 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: do you see that cloud right there? I thought he 482 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: was trying to identify the shapes and the clouds, so 483 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: I answered him with something silly, like the one that 484 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: looks like a mouse. He said, no, Mom, the pretty one. 485 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: He paused for a while and then continued, Well, when 486 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: I was zero, before I was born, I stood on 487 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: a cloud like that with God. Though I was stunned, 488 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: I stayed pretty calm and asked him what he was 489 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: doing on that cloud with God. He said, we were 490 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: having fun. He went directly back to his video game 491 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: and wouldn't answer any more questions. I didn't want to 492 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: pressure him, so I just let it rest. A few 493 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: weeks later, my husband and I were sitting in the 494 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 1: family room. Mather came in, leaned against the wall and said, Mom, 495 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: when I was zero, before I was born, I was 496 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: standing on that cloud with God. He told me to pick. 497 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: I asked what God wanted him to pick, and he replied, 498 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: he told me to pick my mommy. I said, well, buddy, 499 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: I thank God every day that you picked me to 500 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: be your mommy. He smiled and said, when God told 501 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: me to pick, I looked down and saw mommy's everywhere. 502 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: They all wanted me to pick them, and they were 503 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: reaching for me. But then I saw you. You were 504 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: alone and sad and couldn't find your little boy, and 505 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: I knew. I knew I loved you and that you 506 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: would love me. So I told God that I wanted 507 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: you mom when I was zero, before I was born. 508 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: I picked you through my tears. I again thanked him 509 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 1: for pay king me, and he ran down the hall 510 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: back to his room. What makes us even more special 511 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: is that I adopted Mather when he was just a 512 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: few hours old, and the circumstances of his adoption were 513 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: and are considered a miracle and a gift by my 514 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: entire family. I was single and alone at the time, 515 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: and my first son had passed away fourteen years prior. 516 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: Mather knew nothing of this. Even though his memories aren't 517 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: as sharp as they were even six months ago, We've 518 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: continued to have many conversations about the little things he remembers. 519 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: I always know when he's going to talk to me 520 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 1: about Heaven and God because he'll abruptly stop whatever he's doing, 521 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: look up and begin. Mom When I was zero, before 522 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: I was born. Mather is an extraordinary child and he 523 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: is the love of my life. And from Leslie. When 524 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: my son Daniel was about two years old, he told 525 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: me that when we are born, we know everything, but 526 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: as we grow up we forget it. Blew me away 527 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: so much that I still remember that. And this is 528 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: from Janelle. Here are a few stories that my daughter 529 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: Jada shared with me in her first three and a 530 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: half years of life. Mommy, did you know that the 531 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: universe is in your heart? All you have to do 532 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 1: is look in and look at it and feel it. Mommy, 533 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: your grandpa Awl likes to watch over me at bedtime 534 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: with the angels. He likes purple flowers, just like me. 535 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: My grandpa passed over twenty years ago and she never 536 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: even knew his name. Mommy, I sometimes have not my 537 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: voice in my head. It doesn't sound like me. I 538 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: know it is a whisper from someone telling me to 539 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: do something good. I think it might be God's voice. 540 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: So with that, we'll take our next break. You're listening 541 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: to Shades of the Afterlife on the I Heart Radio 542 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back 543 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sanders Champlain and we're 544 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: doing some reading from the book Memories of Heaven. This 545 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: next story is from Judy. She says, I am seventy 546 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 1: three years old and this incident has been a part 547 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: of my life since I was about three. I remember 548 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: telling my parents that I had chosen them before I 549 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: was born. They simply patted me on the head and 550 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: smiled at what they considered to be the imaginings of 551 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: a young child. Not so I remember this as clearly 552 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: today as I did then. I told them that I 553 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: was somewhere up above the earth, looking down at a 554 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: gathering of several pairs of people. I heard a voice 555 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: ask me which ones I wanted as my parents. I 556 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: was told that whichever couple I chose would teach me 557 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: what I needed to learn in this lifetime. I pointed 558 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,479 Speaker 1: to my parents and replied, I'll take them. I don't 559 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: know if we pick our parents or not, but it's 560 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: an interesting speculation. Yes, I think those of us who 561 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: have good parents and good upbringing can certainly say, yeah, 562 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: I picked them, But what about the kids and the 563 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: people who had terrible upbringings. There are some horrific people 564 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 1: out in the world, as we all know. My speculation 565 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: is that we can learn from any situation. I remember 566 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 1: the movie where Morgan Freeman played God, and in one 567 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: of the scenes, the question was asked. I asked to 568 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,280 Speaker 1: be loving, and I asked to be courageous, and God 569 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: responded something where when we come to Earth, we are 570 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: not given the things we desire, we are given opportunities 571 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: to attain them. Meaning, if you want to be courageous 572 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: or brave, you have circumstances that are scary, fearful. If 573 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: you want to be loving, there are opportunities for you 574 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: to rise above and be that. And I know many 575 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: people who are amazing parents who come from a background 576 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: of having terrible parents and really tough childhoods. We may 577 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: not know the answers as were experience ariencing life, but 578 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that when we look back on 579 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,359 Speaker 1: different things that have happened in our life, we can 580 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: see opportunities that we've learned, We've grown and I'm sure 581 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: we've made a difference for others based on what we've learned. 582 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: Here's a story from Melissa. One night at dinner, our 583 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: young adopted son, he was around four years old, started 584 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: talking a great length about his life in the stars 585 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: and how he had all of these brothers and sisters 586 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: who lived there. He said he'd seen my husband and 587 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: me from there and tried to get our attention many times, 588 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: but we could never see him, so he decided to 589 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: be born through his mom so that we could find him. 590 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: My husband and I were floored, to say the least. 591 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: I had a few miscarriages after my first son, so 592 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: once my younger son had told us what he'd seen, 593 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: I knew his soul had been trying to come in 594 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: through me, even though my body was not able to 595 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: do it. We feel our older son always knew the plan, 596 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: because he was the one constantly begging us for a sibling. 597 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: Once his brother came to live with us at about 598 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: twenty two months old, he was so happy to have 599 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: him here. They are the best of friends. Laura says, 600 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: my daughter tells me all the time that she came 601 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: to me from the stars, that she chose my husband 602 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: and me to be her mommy and daddy while she 603 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: was in the stars, and that she has three daughters 604 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: who are in the stars and will one day come 605 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: down to be her children. And Shannon has this story. 606 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: When my son was just shy of three years old, 607 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: I was carrying him up to bed. He was in 608 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: a happy, relaxed mood, and out of the blue, he said, 609 00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: when I was in heaven, the earth looked different. He 610 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: understood me and realized I wanted to come back down 611 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: into your belly. I asked him, are you talking about God. Yes, 612 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: I was with God, but I don't remember what he 613 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: was like now. And you told him you wanted to 614 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: come back down into my belly. He said, no, I 615 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: didn't tell him. He understood me. Now. I had a 616 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: miscarriage before my son was born, and I have never 617 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: talked to him about it. I love that when he 618 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: said God understood me. It is said by people who 619 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: have had near death experiences that all communication is through thought. 620 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,720 Speaker 1: We don't need to speak, so our thoughts are pure. 621 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: We don't have the ego mind that is judgmental. It's 622 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: just pure communication, so we understand each other. And this 623 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: from Jessica, when my son was very small. He began 624 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: talking early, with a well rounded vocabulary and great pronunciation. 625 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: My husband and I never talked about God or church. 626 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: While sitting and playing with his toys. One day, my 627 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: son looked at me out of the blue and said, 628 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,280 Speaker 1: do you know that God lets us choose our parents 629 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: while we're in heaven and that I picked you. The 630 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: look on his face was so full of purpose and love, 631 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: not like a small child's joke. Even to this day, 632 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: that statement has made a huge impact on my life. 633 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: I don't know much about child prodigies, but you've seen them, 634 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,760 Speaker 1: these little tykes who can play a piece of music 635 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: on piano as if they were Mozart, or kids with 636 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 1: tremendous memories. I wonder if not only do kids remember 637 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: picking their parents, but ny be there are things we've 638 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: learned before we get here. I don't know where I 639 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: heard this, but somewhere it was said that when we 640 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: come into earth, there's this amnesia that we forget who 641 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 1: we really are. And that makes total sense to me, 642 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: because that way we can play the game of life. Right. 643 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: We've talked about that before, but perhaps not everyone has 644 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: this amnesia. I'm thinking about people who sleepwalk at night. 645 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: Our brains put out a certain chemical while we dream 646 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: and sleep, so that we don't act out our dreams. 647 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: But some people don't have this chemical being made by 648 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: their brain, or not enough of it, and so they 649 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: sleep walk. Yeah, it is possible that some people remember. 650 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: I'll have to look more into child prodigies because they 651 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: are amazing. Here's a story by Sherry. When my son 652 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: was the ripe old age of three years old, he 653 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: had drawn this beautiful, perfect tree while playing alone in 654 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: his room. I wasn't at home mom, and he hadn't 655 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,760 Speaker 1: been to any preschool. I was astonished, and I said, Marley, 656 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: where did you learn to draw such a beautiful tree? 657 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: His response was, Mama, God taught me to draw when 658 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: I was in heaven. Now, we didn't belong to a 659 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 1: church or read from the Bible. We didn't talk of God. 660 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 1: So I was shocked by this response, but my heart 661 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: swelled with love. Another time, when he was talking about 662 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 1: the same age, out of the blue, he started talking 663 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: of how he remembered looking down at his dad and 664 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: me from heaven with God and shows us as his parents. 665 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: Beautiful story. Here's one last story from the book, and 666 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: the book is filled with them. I might have given 667 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: you one of what's in the book Memories of Heaven 668 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: by Dr Wayne Dyer. This one comes from Anne. My 669 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: two year old son is constantly talking about the people 670 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: he sees in white. When I asked him to tell 671 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: me about them, he said they come at night a 672 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: lot and talk to him and watch over him. He 673 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: said that they are like light, and when they leave 674 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 1: he gets very sad. Oh, I wonder for you and 675 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: me if we go to bed tonight with the question 676 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: what is it that I have forgotten about who I 677 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: am and why I came here? Memories from before we 678 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 1: were born. I just wonder what we may wake up 679 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 1: and about. The spirit world works through our imagination. What 680 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: we think is pure imagination that has been invented can 681 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: often be words and memories and thoughts planted there from 682 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,799 Speaker 1: a loved one or maybe from a friend that we 683 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: knew before life. So don't dismiss what comes in your imagination, 684 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: and when you think about it, kids are pure imagination. 685 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: It is said that between the ages of zero and seven, 686 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: the information that comes into us as a child, it's 687 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: the most formative years. So the things that come into 688 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: us we children think our reality so of course be 689 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: careful what you say to kids. The old not good enough, 690 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: not smart enough, stupid. Those things latch onto us for life, 691 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 1: as we all know. But kids haven't had the ego 692 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 1: mind develop yet with all the worries and fears of 693 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: the future, So that right brain is at work with 694 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: children and the left brain is silent. So let that 695 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: be a learning for all of us to engage our creativity, 696 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 1: engage our imagination, be in the present moment, tap into 697 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,800 Speaker 1: the spirit world.
