Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast am on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Well after our seven year hiatus, Dmitri Moritis back with us.
Speaker 2: Co founder and spiritual director of the Spiritual Arts Institute,
Speaker 2: Dmitri has been instrumental in bringing Spiritual Arts Institute to
Speaker 2: the place that it is today as a premier metaphysical school.
Speaker 2: With Barbara Martin, he is the co author of a
Speaker 2: number of international best sellers, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life,
Speaker 2: Communing with the divine Karma and reincarnation, the healing power
Speaker 2: of your Aura in the newest book called Heaven and
Speaker 2: Your Spiritual Evolution. He is a very eloquent speaker, as
Speaker 2: you'll find out, on a wide variety of spiritual topics.
Speaker 2: Has lectured around the country, appeared on numerous programs and
Speaker 2: media shows, and leads the workshops and training classes offered
Speaker 2: at the Institute. With Barbara Dmitri Welcome back, way too long.
Speaker 2: How have you been.
Speaker 3: Oh, I've been good. It's really nice to be on
Speaker 3: your show again. Good to hear your voice.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to this. Is there a heaven? I
Speaker 2: bet there is?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, thank God.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 3: There has to be something to aspire to. And I
Speaker 3: know some people think it's wishful thinking, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's how we deal with the ambiguities of our life.
Speaker 3: But every mystical tradition is actually talked about a greater
Speaker 3: beyond and another side. And you know, even traditions that
Speaker 3: you may think don't talk so much about it, like Buddhism,
Speaker 3: they do. Actually, it's just not as emphasized as other
Speaker 3: aspects of their teaching. So it's been part of every tradition.
Speaker 3: Of course, people have had experiences with it, and as
Speaker 3: you know with Barbara, a lot of in the books
Speaker 3: are from her own experiences, and so we try to
Speaker 3: share that this is something real and it's something for everyone.
Speaker 3: It's we're all aspiring to it. And the book is
Speaker 3: called Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolutions. So what we actually
Speaker 3: say is you don't go to heaven, you grow to heaven.
Speaker 3: It's an evolutionary process and we're all part of that process.
Speaker 2: How quickly when one dies do they get to those
Speaker 2: pearly gates?
Speaker 3: I wish it was fast, but you know, here's in
Speaker 3: you know, the first time we were on your show,
Speaker 3: we talked about carmen reincarnation. I still remember that experience vividly,
Speaker 3: and the idea is that it takes more than one
Speaker 3: lifetime to get there, because if you think of Earth
Speaker 3: like a school, and our laps on earth, our incarnations
Speaker 3: are sort of like grades in school. We you know,
Speaker 3: hopefully our next life is better than one before, and
Speaker 3: we're eventually kind of climbing up that spiritual ladder and
Speaker 3: then we earn the ranks of heaven. But the idea
Speaker 3: is there's just too much to learn in life to
Speaker 3: get it all in one lifetime, So you come back
Speaker 3: multiple times as part of this grand evolutionary process, and
Speaker 3: everything you do matters. It's part of the journey. It's
Speaker 3: part of the learning experience, and eventually it gets you
Speaker 3: to that those higher realms. And of course there are
Speaker 3: many stages there. You don't go from here just to heaven.
Speaker 3: The Bible talks about, you know, in my father's house
Speaker 3: are many mansions, So there are many stages of development,
Speaker 3: There are levels of consciousness, but they're actual, real places
Speaker 3: that you can be part of.
Speaker 2: And you don't have to be particularly religious to get
Speaker 2: to heaven, do you.
Speaker 3: No, it's it's not a it's not you know, the
Speaker 3: religions honor it. But it's not a religious it's where
Speaker 3: you are in your heart. You know, there are people,
Speaker 3: as Barbara say, they go to church on Sunday and
Speaker 3: they're cheating their partners on Monday. You know, you have
Speaker 3: to live the laws, right, you have to live the
Speaker 3: spiritual life. And there are right people that are living
Speaker 3: a very spiritual life. They just don't necessarily use that word.
Speaker 3: And they're developing themselves. They're doing very well. So it's
Speaker 3: where your heart is. It's are you really trying to
Speaker 3: better yourself? Are you really trying to contribute to the world.
Speaker 3: You know, they say leave the world better than the
Speaker 3: way you found it, right, and hopefully you're all doing that.
Speaker 3: But you also want to leave the world in a
Speaker 3: higher level of consciousness than when you started, so that
Speaker 3: you really finish and you say, you know, I learned something.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not the same person as when I
Speaker 3: started on my this life.
Speaker 2: When you got to this journey, was there a specific
Speaker 2: thing that got you down this path?
Speaker 3: Oh, definitely. I came to California and the Los Angeles
Speaker 3: area for emotion pictures and you know, and television, and
Speaker 3: actually was it was going well, you know, and I
Speaker 3: was having though I didn't even know about metaphysics at
Speaker 3: that time. And I mean demetriu, I'm Greek Orthodox by birth. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it was more cultural, let's put it that way,
Speaker 3: you know, than religious. So I wasn't anti religion. I
Speaker 3: wasn't extremely into it. And again the word metaphysics hadn't
Speaker 3: even crossed my mind. But I was having these you
Speaker 3: know experiences. I called them my inspiration moments. They came
Speaker 3: without any control. They were definitely heightened states of awareness
Speaker 3: and insights, and it was just a beautiful feeling and
Speaker 3: they got so strong. I had what I called my
Speaker 3: soul in the road, the Damascus moment. It was definitely
Speaker 3: a very strong spiritual awakening, but even then I didn't
Speaker 3: know exactly what it was. And then when I realized
Speaker 3: it was metaphysics, I that was it. I realized it's
Speaker 3: like falling in love and realizing this is the love
Speaker 3: of my life. And I couldn't look back. And about
Speaker 3: a year later, I met Barbara at a at a
Speaker 3: dinner party, and you know, that night, after talking with her,
Speaker 3: I realized, Wow, I found my spiritual teacher.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And then we started, you know, she taught
Speaker 3: me right away. But they were also both loved to write,
Speaker 3: so we started writing, and I didn't realize she was
Speaker 3: starting to groom me to eventually you know, re a
Speaker 3: generation apart to kind of you know, follow keep the
Speaker 3: tradition going, you know. So right now she's not on
Speaker 3: the public platform anymore, but we're still writing and we're
Speaker 3: still working on things together. So it's been a real
Speaker 3: joy to do this journey.
Speaker 2: About a year ago, Rayleioda died on us, the great
Speaker 2: actor you know that name?
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, sure.
Speaker 2: And I wanted to ask you he died in his sleep.
Speaker 2: When somebody dies, specifically in their sleep, what's the transition? Like,
Speaker 2: kind of take us through that. So he's in bed,
Speaker 2: his heart stops, obviously he dies, but what happens? What
Speaker 2: is he going through?
Speaker 3: Right? It's a nice way to go, right, gentle.
Speaker 2: That's the best way to go. Really really, I.
Speaker 3: Love whatdy Allen's line. You know, I'm not afraid of dying.
Speaker 3: I just don't want to be there when it happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: But generally, what a lot of it has to do
Speaker 3: with where you are in your consciousness before you die.
Speaker 3: For example, if you really believe if it's womb to tomb,
Speaker 3: there's nothing beyond. You're just a bunch of atoms. You know,
Speaker 3: you're lucky, if you know, if you're just living okay
Speaker 3: life and that's the end of it. Your mind is
Speaker 3: so focused on the earth plane, as they would say,
Speaker 3: sometimes those people don't even cross over. They end up
Speaker 3: being earth bound spirits. And those are the ghosts that
Speaker 3: they're not really ghosts. I mean, we call them ghosts
Speaker 3: because they kind of look like apparitions, but they are.
Speaker 3: They're people that are so focused, either through a tragedy
Speaker 3: or something, they can't shake the earth vibration. I mean,
Speaker 3: I had the experience with an earth bound spirit when
Speaker 3: I moved into a house I was living in. It
Speaker 3: was a probate house and the gentleman that had lived
Speaker 3: there before died of Agent orange, remember from the Vietnam
Speaker 3: War era. And first night I'm sleeping there, you know,
Speaker 3: I wake up early in the morning and I see
Speaker 3: two hands trying to choke me. Ye, thinking, wow, this
Speaker 3: is one crazy dream. But it wasn't a t I
Speaker 3: was wide awake, you know, and it was him. He
Speaker 3: didn't know he died, and he thought I was an
Speaker 3: intruder in his house. He was trying to protect his property,
Speaker 3: and it was like three days of prayer to communicate
Speaker 3: to him, You're not you know, you're not out of
Speaker 3: the physical life anymore. It's time to go home. It's
Speaker 3: time to go to your spiritual home. So it's really
Speaker 3: a good idea to study things like the afterlife because
Speaker 3: when it is your time to go home, whether you're
Speaker 3: really Liota or again, I don't know what his personal
Speaker 3: beliefs were, but what happens is they do take you
Speaker 3: to the other side. You do go to this place
Speaker 3: where basically they tell you, you know, you passed on.
Speaker 3: And again some have a hard time even there because
Speaker 3: it feels so real and they think I'm not I'm
Speaker 3: not dead. I'm talking to you and you're talking to me,
Speaker 3: you know, and then when they realize they're not where
Speaker 3: they think they are, they can go into a bit
Speaker 3: of shock. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, did you think he literally walked out
Speaker 2: of his body that was dead in bed?
Speaker 3: Oh it sounds like you know that his was a
Speaker 3: smooth transision that you know, the the angels do take
Speaker 3: you home. That really does happen, and it sounds like
Speaker 3: in his case, he was ready to go for you know,
Speaker 3: there is a you know, every they say, every hair
Speaker 3: on their head is counted. You know, there is a
Speaker 3: time for our death, our transision. It can happen prematurely,
Speaker 3: you know. Of course, we can accidentally fall off a
Speaker 3: cliff or something and children, Yeah, yeah, it can, but
Speaker 3: there is a time. And it sounds like from what
Speaker 3: you're saying, you know that that was his time. So
Speaker 3: what they do is they take him to Usually there's
Speaker 3: like these healing places. Now, he probably didn't need to
Speaker 3: go there a long time unless he was very sick.
Speaker 3: But if you've gone through protracted illnesses, your astral bodies
Speaker 3: is disturbed and they have to they have to heal it.
Speaker 3: And then you given that opportunity to come back and
Speaker 3: sort of visit Earth to sort of say your goodbyes.
Speaker 3: It's not the only time you could come back, but
Speaker 3: it's sort of a formal process. Not everybody takes it,
Speaker 3: but many do. And of course they don't see you,
Speaker 3: but you can kind of see how you left the
Speaker 3: world right and obviously if you you know, left in
Speaker 3: a pretty good place and now my family's taken care of.
Speaker 3: Look I made these good impressions you feel, you know,
Speaker 3: like you again accomplished, and yes, sometimes you realize, gosh,
Speaker 3: I left a lot of unfinished business here. And then
Speaker 3: when that's all over, they take you back to the
Speaker 3: other side, and of course there is that dramatic moment
Speaker 3: where you are taken to a place where they play
Speaker 3: back your book of life and you see scenes from
Speaker 3: your last life, but you don't see it like you
Speaker 3: remembered it. You see it objectively, like it really happened.
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you rationalize ours. But there you see
Speaker 3: all the motivations, everything that was going on, and they
Speaker 3: show you see you accomplish this, this, this, oops, you
Speaker 3: left these things left undone, and it kind of starts
Speaker 3: to prepare what might be your next incarnation. After that,
Speaker 3: then you do have It's true, you do have the
Speaker 3: reunions with loved ones. No love is ever lost if
Speaker 3: they're on the other side and they haven't reincarnated. It's
Speaker 3: joyful times. And believe it or not, even you know
Speaker 3: if you're taking care of a pet for twenty years
Speaker 3: that that animal loves you, it's going to wait for
Speaker 3: you on the other side and you'll get to have
Speaker 3: a reunion with that too. And you do realize how
Speaker 3: important love is. It crosses the boundaries of space and time.
Speaker 3: It's not a platitude, it's a reality, you know. And
Speaker 3: then the transision process at that point is done, and
Speaker 3: then you have a life on the other side, and
Speaker 3: you know, people, there is a beautiful, rich life we
Speaker 3: have on the other side. There's people we interact with,
Speaker 3: there's activities we get engaged with. So there's a whole
Speaker 3: life there. Now, if our life was not cut prematurely short,
Speaker 3: then we will spend time on his side. You could
Speaker 3: spend seventy eighty years there, you know, yeah, earthy buyer
Speaker 3: years exactly, and during that time you're having a life there.
Speaker 3: But here's a really beautiful thing. You know. A lot
Speaker 3: of people think the other side is just for the
Speaker 3: time when we die, and it's really not. We're getting
Speaker 3: help from the other side, like right this minute, the
Speaker 3: inspirations we're getting, the support we're getting, it's coming from
Speaker 3: those inner worlds. And let's say, you know, they start
Speaker 3: to tell you, well, in this next life, you know,
Speaker 3: you're going to be an artist, or you're going to
Speaker 3: be a doctor, or a painting whatever it is. You
Speaker 3: start doing some of the skill set on the other
Speaker 3: side to build up some of the power so that
Speaker 3: when you're coming here, you have more of a desire
Speaker 3: to do it and more have a skill to do it.
Speaker 3: So in some ways you have been preparing for the
Speaker 3: life you're living right now before you even got here,
Speaker 3: you know, And it helps to understand a little bit
Speaker 3: in addition to past lives, why do I have a
Speaker 3: desire to go in this direction, and why maybe do
Speaker 3: I have these natural talents that I have, or why
Speaker 3: am I enjoying these successes? You know, success is earned.
Speaker 3: It doesn't just happen. We've earned it. We should never commiserate, Oh,
Speaker 3: you got so lucky you were born rich, or this,
Speaker 3: that and the other. We earn these things, and then
Speaker 3: it's how we build on that in the life so
Speaker 3: that the other side and this side are intimately connected
Speaker 3: to each other. And through things like meditation and prayer,
Speaker 3: you really are connecting with that other side and you're
Speaker 3: receiving from it. I mean, we think of all the
Speaker 3: great inventions, all the things that have truly benefited humanity,
Speaker 3: they came from the inner world, those weres, you know.
Speaker 3: Handled the great musician when he wrote that famous Hallelujah chorus.
Speaker 3: He said, I was in tears when I was writing
Speaker 3: it because I literally felt like I was in heaven
Speaker 3: and he was describing musically what he was experiencing, and
Speaker 3: of course that music is still uplifting as sweat for
Speaker 3: four hundred years later.
Speaker 2: Well with Dimitri Moriitis. His latest book with Barbara Martin
Speaker 2: is Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution. You mentioned something about reincarnation. Yes,
Speaker 2: how soon does the soul reincarnate after they die?
Speaker 3: Right, if it was a tragic, premature death, you reincarnate
Speaker 3: very quickly. There were stories of children that were born
Speaker 3: shortly after World War Two crying and panic as children
Speaker 3: because it felt like they were still in things like
Speaker 3: the Nazi concentration camps and people like that. Could have
Speaker 3: died prematurely and they reincarnate very fast because they didn't
Speaker 3: have time to complete what was their life task. So
Speaker 3: the divine gives them the opportunity very quickly to reincarnate.
Speaker 3: And yes, sometimes they're sort of bringing back some of
Speaker 3: the trauma, whatever it was, from that life previously. But
Speaker 3: if it was your time, if you if you finish
Speaker 3: your karma, then you have to spend time on the
Speaker 3: other side to build up more power to enjoy the
Speaker 3: other side, to assimilate the things. You know, all these
Speaker 3: experiences we've had here will have time when we get
Speaker 3: to the other side to assimilate, to reflect on it,
Speaker 3: to build on it where our successes where maybe where
Speaker 3: we could have done a little better. Again, it's like school.
Speaker 3: So if earth is school, we have our year at
Speaker 3: school and then we go home and then we come
Speaker 3: back for another grade.
Speaker 2: Is there a regret when you die.
Speaker 3: If things were left undone, if things done definitely regret.
Speaker 3: For example, there's a story that was told by a
Speaker 3: teacher that there was this gentleman and he was very
Speaker 3: kind of had this sort of self righteous attitude that
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if he was a minister,
Speaker 3: but kind of this very rigid, you know, religious type,
Speaker 3: and he said, oh, I'm going straight to God. And
Speaker 3: you know, it was very So he gets to the
Speaker 3: other side and it's not what he thinks it is.
Speaker 3: And when they take him back to Earth and he
Speaker 3: sees his wife in the backyard and he's realized, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, she's the most relaxed I've ever seen her.
Speaker 3: He realized, oh, maybe I was a little too tough.
Speaker 3: You know maybe I was a little too inflexible. So yes,
Speaker 3: sometimes we see things when we're not in the heat
Speaker 3: of whatever we're doing, in a clear light, and you
Speaker 3: know that regret is part of the learning, right because
Speaker 3: he's not going to do that in his next lifetime again,
Speaker 3: you know, so his soul is going to learn that life.
Speaker 3: And the good news is, you know, there's no sin
Speaker 3: past redemption. Yes there are darker regions on the other side,
Speaker 3: but there's no eternal hell. Were always have this opportunity
Speaker 3: to come back into the light. So when we make mistakes,
Speaker 3: it's part of the learning process. What the divine shares
Speaker 3: with us is, Look, you're gonna make mistakes, you're in school,
Speaker 3: but we do sometimes see you make the same mistake
Speaker 3: twenty thirty times. Try to learn from that mistake. Don't
Speaker 3: just keep doing the same thing over and over again.
