For over twenty five years, I've been 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: on a journey to prove the existence of life after day. 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: that our loved ones have survived physical death and so 18 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: will we Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. Before we 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 3: get started with our episode, I have a message for 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: listener Christopher and all others who have a great story 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 3: you think is perfect for shades of the afterlife, whether 22 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: you've had a near death experience, a sign from your 23 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: loved one, or anything else that screams, oh my gosh, 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: this is proof that the afterlife is real. I want 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 3: to know about it. My email address is Sandra Champlaine 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: at gmail dot com. On today's episode, we have a 27 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: few things to talk about. You'll meet Brandy, who not 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: only had a near death experience, but was one of 29 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: the very few who got a reading with John Edwards 30 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: in one of his big venues, giving her and her 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: very skeptical dad proof that her mother lives on. Also, 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: I've often wondered why talking about the afterlife feels like 33 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: such a taboo subject. Do you feel it sometimes? I 34 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: know I do. Almost all the world's religions believe in 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: an afterlife, So why do we sometimes feel afraid being 36 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: open and talking about it. Why do we feel sometimes 37 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: that if science hasn't proven it, then there's really no evidence. 38 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: Well, guess what. 39 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: There was a great divorce that I uncovered between science 40 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: and spirit in the fifteen hundreds, which made it a 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: life or death situation if we were to openly share 42 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: our beliefs. I think currently we are simply a product 43 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: of the last five hundred years of conditioning, you know, 44 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 3: buying into some of these fear based beliefs. So more 45 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: about that later. Next. Have you felt the love for 46 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: an animal companion? Have you had a special pet that 47 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: has a place in your heart that no human being 48 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 3: has ever reached. Today, I'd like to dedicate this episode 49 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: to my aunt Donna and our beloved cat Harry, who 50 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 3: this week migrated into the spirit world. I own a 51 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: house with my Auntie Donna, and have for well over 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: twenty something years, and Harry has been in our life 53 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: for thirteen years. He was a stray cat and needed 54 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 3: a home just after the passing of our cat Millie. 55 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: I had traveled a lot prior to the year twenty 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: twenty and so Donna really formed the deepest relationship with 57 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: this little kiddy. Now, many of you know that when 58 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: COVID hit back in twenty twenty five, there were a 59 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: few health situations in the household here, so I relocated 60 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: and I spend most of my time with my dear 61 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: mom these days. Donna is about two hours north of 62 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: where I am, so we see each other from time 63 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: to time. But little Harry was her trusted companion and 64 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: wherever Donna went. Harry followed. If you're some who hasn't 65 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: had a faithful pet, you may not really fully appreciate 66 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: the unconditional love and bond that gets created with our 67 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: little furried friends. But if you do have a pet, 68 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: or have had a close pet, you know just what 69 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: I'm talking about. Harry's been quite sick, and a few 70 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 3: days ago Donna had to make a very tough decision. 71 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: And I know that Donna is hurting right now and 72 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: that grief is incredibly high. And while I wasn't as 73 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: close to Harry, I certainly do feel the grief, and 74 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: grief has a very sneaky way of igniting grief from 75 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 3: the past. Have you ever found that we may think 76 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: that we are a good distance from the deep pain 77 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: of grief, and then something happens a pet loss in 78 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: my case, or passing of someone who was a little distant, 79 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: or we might see something on television or in a 80 00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: movie those old Hallmark card commercials sometimes would trigger the 81 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 3: grief from the past. And it really does just seem 82 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 3: like any bit of grief has the power to reignite 83 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: so many things. So in my case, Harry's passing led 84 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: me to the loss of prior pets, to the death 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: of my dad, my grandmother, and how life really has 86 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: changed for me and my mom and my aunt drastically 87 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: after the COVID days. We lost our full time income, 88 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: our business of thirty five years. And for those of 89 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: you who are new to the show, Mom and I 90 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 3: ran a very successful catering business to race car teams 91 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: for thirty five years. And yes, there's a lot of 92 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: good that's come out of the past five years, including 93 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: getting to be here with you now. I love shades 94 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: of the afterlife. I love continuing the exploration and then 95 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: sharing with you everything. But I too, am a human 96 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 3: being and sometimes it gets tough. So I try to 97 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 3: take my own advice that I give you here on 98 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 3: the show. You are feeling grief, I ask you be 99 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: gentle on yourself. If you haven't yet taken me up 100 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: on my offer for a free PDF copy of my book, 101 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: which is called We Don't Die, A Skeptics Discovery of 102 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: Life after Death. I want you to have one because 103 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 3: chapter ten is about how to survive grief, Why we grieve, 104 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: what's happening biologically within our bodies and minds, things we 105 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 3: can do to ease the pain and just understand it. 106 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: If you'd like a copy, my website is we Don't 107 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: Die dot com. And at the bottom of the page, 108 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 3: if you want to enter your name in your email address, 109 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 3: you'll get a pop up with it and then also 110 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: an email. Now it says you get the first few 111 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 3: chapters of the book, but the secret is it is 112 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: the entire book. I had mentioned earlier. My cat Millie. 113 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: Now I was somebody who was anti cat's got scratched 114 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: up by a cat when I was a little kid. 115 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: But this Millie, she snuck into our house and actually 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: snuck into my heart. And Millie was my special companion 117 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: for twelve years. Even when I wrote my book We 118 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: Don't Die. She had her head resting just next to 119 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: my fingertips on my laptop. She was there every step 120 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: of the way. Millie got very sick and we unfortunately 121 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: had to put her to sleep. But just after I 122 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: heard from my publisher and I had twenty four hours 123 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: to reread my book for any errors or typos before 124 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: it went to the printing house. And I had read 125 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: and reread my books so many times, I have to 126 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: be honest, it's the last thing that I wanted to do. However, 127 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: I was forced to read it one last time, and 128 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: you know what happened. My grief was tremendously lifted. I 129 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: felt comforted about the afterlife. That chapter ten on grief 130 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: gave me just the words I needed to put everything 131 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 3: in perspective understand what I was feeling. So for me, 132 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: my cat Millie was an angel and passed at exactly 133 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: the right time, on the right day to let me 134 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: know how powerful the words on grief are. In my book, 135 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: you'll hear some very comforting words about pets in the 136 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: afterlife and our last segment together. But now let's meet 137 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 3: Brandy faith Well. I met her years ago at a seminar. 138 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: She's a nice, bubbly gal and is passionate about things 139 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: like psychology, neuroscience, quantum physics. She's assisted for years in 140 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: the past at Tony Robbins VNCE, but her real transformation 141 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: came after her mom died when she had a near 142 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: death experience. Brandy is on a mission to stop the 143 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 3: human suffering that gets passed down from generation to generation, 144 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: so she wrote a book. It's called Heal Your Heart, 145 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: Free Your Mind. Let's listen to my conversation with Brandy. 146 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: My mom died of a brain tumor. I was very 147 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: connected with my mother, and a year before she died, 148 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: there's no I'm almost really healthy. She did yoga the time, 149 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 4: she read lots of spiritual personals about the books, and 150 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 4: she ate healthy and didn't drink and all that. 151 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: So there was just no signs for my mom. 152 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: But a year before I would call her crying, going, Mom, 153 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 4: I can't lose you. 154 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: I don't want to be here without you. I want 155 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: to go first, and she's like, what's wrong with you? 156 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 4: I'm life going anywhere, And it made no logical sense, 157 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 4: but it's like my soul knew that something was coming up, 158 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 4: and I. 159 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: Was definitely afraid. 160 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: And so unfortunately, a year later, I got the phone 161 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 4: call that my dad said, this is how I found 162 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 4: your mother. 163 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: She's not doing well. We have a CEAT scam for 164 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: her or an em mari. I think it was for 165 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: her tomorrow and if you want to come down, come down. 166 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 4: And it was like then I knew it was happening, 167 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 4: and I just hung up the phone and all night 168 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 4: I couldn't sleep. 169 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm just pacing back and forth. My mother, God, please 170 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: don't take a bother. 171 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: And so that day they told. 172 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 4: Her she had a glibas doil multi form and it 173 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 4: had taken over her whole left side of her brain, 174 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 4: gone through the central part of her brain and started 175 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 4: over to the right side of her brain. And it's 176 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: the most aggressive, faster growing tumor and once it gets 177 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 4: in the center of the brain, it's inoperable and do 178 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: anything with it. So they gave her three months to live, 179 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: and unfortunately that's about how long she lived to the day. 180 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 4: I was at this existential suffering. I did not want 181 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 4: to be here. And when you're at that loathan, the 182 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: divine can really do some work with you. And because 183 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 4: your ego, that part of you that think God, it 184 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: all control and all figured out and be out of 185 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 4: the way. Because I was at this extential suffering, I 186 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 4: just didn't want to be here, and I was in 187 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 4: a state of anxiety. I would have adrenaline during the 188 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 4: day and then cortisol would come up at night, and 189 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: so you're in a constant state of not sleeping. So 190 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: you're in this anxiety and if anybody's experienced it, to me, 191 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 4: it was hell. And I felt like, if this is 192 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: going to continue, I really don't want to be here. 193 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: As a living hell. So I was just looking for 194 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 4: anything to help me, and I discovered something called dietsha, 195 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 4: so something similar to reiki, where it's just like a 196 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: healing energy and it has a divine intelligence of what 197 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 4: needs to be healed, either emotionally, spiritually, or physically. Because 198 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: I was in this state of anxiety, and part of 199 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 4: it was because when my mother died, I went through 200 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: her journals and I found out family secrets that just 201 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 4: kind of traumatized. 202 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: Oh my eyes. Yeah. 203 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 4: No, it was like all the foundations in which I 204 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: believed about my family I was weren't totally true. All 205 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 4: my foundations had been shaken, and I didn't feel like 206 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 4: I had a safe place from these secrets that I 207 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: found out. I had a lot of anger at people, 208 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: and I was having some anger kind of blaming people 209 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 4: for my mother's death, if you will. So when I 210 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: had this dieksha, what I experienced was I've just left. 211 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: The event where they gave me the dieksha. I'm peaceful 212 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: and nice, but I was like, Okay, I don't know 213 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: what that was to call energy. 214 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 5: It's kind of a little woo wu, right, And I 215 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 5: went home and I went to sleep, and I woke 216 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 5: up an hour later and my whole body was vibrating, 217 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 5: and it was so vibrating, specifically right in the liver area. 218 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: I was vibrating so much there that it was. 219 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 4: Almost painful, and I was just really freaked out.

Well on 338 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: her side, all of a sudden, the soap starts spewing. 339 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 4: Out, like music boxes and stuff like that would start 340 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: playing music, yeah, without anything. So she started letting him 341 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 4: know that she was around, and he wasn't freaked out 342 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: and it was beautiful. So that was such a beautiful gift. 343 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 4: And also I want to share that my mom was 344 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 4: trying to utilize John to counsel me and my dad, 345 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 4: so because we were having this kind of bite and 346 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: falling out, she was like trying to bring us together 347 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 4: through John. So that was really interesting as well. 348 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: And so were you left with the same wow factor 349 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 3: and really feeling comforted. 350 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you watch it and you believe it 351 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: so much, but it's a whole different experience when you 352 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: actually physically experience it, and it's no question like that. 353 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 4: It's different when you see other people that you don't 354 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: know have readings, but when you personally have it. 355 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, did you yourself have any your death experience? 356 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: Yeah. So in two thousand and eight, I was in 357 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: Fiji and I. 358 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 4: Was assisting with a program that was on Tony's property 359 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 4: on Savusavu, and we had like a two week break 360 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 4: between events, so I went traveling by myself to the 361 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 4: other islands. When I was traveling, I and a few 362 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 4: other people signed up for hiking in the jungle there 363 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 4: in the rainforest, and we were doing those kinds of 364 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 4: things during the day because we're going to do. 365 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: A night dive that night, goob A diving, And. 366 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 4: So he asked that if we wanted to go see 367 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 4: this hermit that lived at the bottom of the hill, 368 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: and we said yes. 369 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: And I don't remember any of this. 370 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 4: Part, but they say he most likely shouldn't have brought 371 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 4: us down because it was a really wet, narrow trail 372 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 4: and then there was this log that was blocking it 373 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 4: that he was helping us over. But we made it 374 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: down there safely and saw the hermit and we were 375 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 4: on our way back up, and everybody else was way 376 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 4: ahead of meet, and there was one guy way behind us. 377 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 4: The guide was helping me over this log and him 378 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 4: and I both fell and I never saw him again, 379 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 4: so I don't know what happened, but I hit my 380 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 4: head on a rock on my way down. So the 381 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 4: guy that was way behind he just saw the guide 382 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 4: holding somebody's hand falling, but he didn't know who it was. 383 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: Everybody else went and got health and what he experienced 384 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: was me was just kind of being gone for about 385 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: half an hour. 386 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 4: But what I experienced was crossing, like ending up in 387 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 4: this other dimension. 388 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: And there was my mother. 389 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 4: And she didn't look how I saw her when she died. 390 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: So when she died, she had gray hair. 391 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 4: She was fifty nine years old and her hair was gray, 392 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 4: but she looked like when she was in her thirties. 393 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: But I didn't put it together. My first response was 394 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, Mom, you're alive. 395 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: Ah, that was a bad dream, Like I thought everything 396 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 4: else that had happened was all just a bad dream 397 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 4: and that this was real and that she was alive. 398 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 4: And then of course I was told otherwise. But of 399 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 4: course it's not speaking. 400 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: It's just like a downloading like knowing, it just comes 401 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: into so it's hard to describe that. But I was 402 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: told what happened, and it was kind of like this 403 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: beautiful green grass and hilly and flowers all around. 404 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 4: And I had all of my deceased animals around me too, 405 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 4: and it's like I could really feel them. I could 406 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 4: feel my horse had her head over my shoulder, it 407 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 4: was like breathing on my neck. And then I was 408 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 4: sitting on the ground and I could feel my cat 409 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: just kind of rubbing behind my legs, and my dogs 410 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 4: their heads in my lap, and it was just it 411 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 4: was so awesome. 412 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: You were just like surrounded by this love. 413 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 4: I was shown what I had been doing all of 414 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 4: my life, how I was stuck in this victim consciousness 415 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 4: and this human suffering that happens, and how it happened, 416 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 4: And then was being shown what I had been taken 417 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 4: through after my mom had died. 418 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: But I wasn't totally getting the whole. 419 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 4: Why and all the pieces and how it was all 420 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 4: fabricated together and because of all of this human conditioning 421 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: that gets passed down from generation to generation. So like 422 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 4: the whole tapestry got shown to me, So the what 423 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 4: happens and how, and then what I was being guided 424 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 4: and taken through, and so it all came into this 425 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 4: knowing I got the big picture and anyways, like I 426 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 4: had already said, I didn't want to be here most 427 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 4: of my life, and so of course when I was there, 428 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 4: I wanted to stay there with my mother because I've 429 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 4: spent my whole life feeling like the world that I 430 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 4: wanted to live and put it exist here on the earth, 431 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 4: that only existed on the other side. And so that's 432 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 4: why I longed to be on those side. This unexplainable 433 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 4: amount of love, enjoy and happiness, and so you don't 434 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 4: want to leave that, and especially when you're there with 435 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 4: the ones that you love the most and you never 436 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 4: wanted to be separate from. But I was told that 437 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: I had to come back, and part of why I 438 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 4: had to be taken over there actually was to put 439 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 4: me in my body, because I spent most of my 440 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 4: life not wanting to be there, that I wasn't really living. 441 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: People with a lot of times also experienced me that 442 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: I was kind of up fip my head. I just 443 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: never really integrate into the body, and so they were 444 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: showing me all. 445 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: This and that I needed to fully be in my body, 446 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 4: fully experience life, fully be and participate that I had 447 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 4: to yeah, share this message, and they were showing me 448 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 4: that the world that I was always longing for could 449 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 4: exist and that we were moving into it right now. 450 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: But I needed to do my part in sharing this 451 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 4: to help us to move into that shift of consciousness 452 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 4: that we are, you know, in this time period that 453 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 4: is happening now now. 454 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: Earlier I told you that there's a taboo about us 455 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: talking about the afterlife, or so it seems that way. 456 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 3: Who can we talk to about it? Who wants to hear? 457 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: Who's going to think we're crazy? Why is it like this? 458 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: When we get back from the break, I'm going to 459 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: tell you what happened around the year fifteen hundred that 460 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 3: might give a good explanation to the departure of science 461 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 3: from religion. And some very comforting words from a friend 462 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: about our deer pets and the afterlife. We'll be right back. 463 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio 464 00:25:40,880 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 3: and Coast to Coast am Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back 465 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 3: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. Have you 466 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: ever wondered why it can feel so taboo to talk 467 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: about life after death in a serious scientific way. We 468 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 3: have heard so much incredible evidence from near death experiences, science, 469 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 3: and other phenomena, yet so often it's dismissed without even 470 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 3: a second thought. Well, the reason for this goes back 471 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 3: a long, long time ago. It wasn't always like this. 472 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 3: There was a time when science and spirituality were not enemies. 473 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 3: They were partners on the same quest for truth. To 474 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 3: understand what happened, we need to go back in time, 475 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: long before our modern era. Connecting with the spirit world 476 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 3: wasn't a fringe activity. It was a central and honored 477 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 3: part of many of the world's greatest civilizations and people. 478 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: So let's take a little travel trip back to ancient Egypt, 479 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 3: a culture deeply focused on the journey of the soul. 480 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 3: Did you know that for the ancient Egyptians, the most 481 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 3: important moment after death was a ceremony called the weighing 482 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 3: of the heart. They believed that to enter the paradise 483 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 3: of the afterlife, a soul's heart had to be weighed 484 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 3: on a divine scale against the feather of a goddess 485 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: of truth and justice. If the heart was heavy, with 486 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 3: regrets and wrongdoing, it would outweigh the feather and the 487 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 3: soul would be lost. But if the heart was light 488 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 3: filled with love and kindness, it would balance perfectly and 489 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: the soul would be granted eternal life. This belief shaped 490 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: their entire civilization, constant reminder that the state of your 491 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 3: soul mattered more than anything else. Now, if we journey 492 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 3: to the windswept hills of ancient Ireland and the Celtic people, 493 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 3: did you know that the holiday we now know as 494 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: Halloween had its roots in an ancient Celtic festival named 495 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 3: sam Him. For the Celts, this night was the most 496 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: sacred time of the year because they believed the veil 497 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 3: between our world and the spirit world was at its thinnest. 498 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: It wasn't a spooky time. It was a time for family. 499 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 3: Families would like huge bonfires to guide the spirits of 500 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 3: their ancestors home and set an extra place at the 501 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 3: dinner table welcoming their departed loved ones back for that 502 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 3: one night reunion. And perhaps no culture embodied this connection 503 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 3: more than the ancient Greeks. Did you know that, for 504 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: over a thousand years, most powerful and respected institution in 505 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 3: Greece was the Oracle of Delphi. Kings, generals, and everyday 506 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: people would make long journeys to a sacred temple to 507 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: ask for guidance from the spirit of the god Apollo. 508 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 3: Imagine a humble, olive farmer in a small village. His 509 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 3: young son had passed from a fever and his heart 510 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: was broken. After saving for a year, he makes the 511 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: long journey to the temple. He trembles and asks the 512 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 3: priest please ask for God. Is my son theo at peace? 513 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: The priestess, in her trance, sneaks in a strange, distant voice. 514 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: The smallest sparrow has found the highest branch and sings 515 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: in the eternal son, he is not gone, he is home. 516 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 3: The father weeps with overwhelming joy, his belief affirmed by 517 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: the highest authority in the land. This integrated worldview wasn't 518 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 3: limited to Europe. Across the Ocean, many Native American cultures 519 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 3: lived with the deep understanding that the spirit world is 520 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: constantly interwoven with our own. Communication with ancestors through visions 521 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 3: and dreams wasn't strange, It was a vital part of 522 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: everyday life. They didn't speak to the dead because in 523 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: their worldview, no one truly ever dies. Imagine a young 524 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 3: Lakota brave named Hinto, to his self doubt. Following tradition, 525 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 3: he goes alone on a vision quest on the third night, 526 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: out of the smoke from his sacred fire, he sees 527 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 3: the clear, loving face of his grandfather. The old man 528 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 3: doesn't speak in words, but Hinto hears his voice inside 529 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 3: his mind. The heart of the wolf is found when 530 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 3: he stands alone. You have my heart. Do not be afraid. 531 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 3: The boy returns a man, his courage restored by a 532 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: direct communication to his grandfather in spirit. These stories show 533 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 3: us a world where science and spirit were not enemies. 534 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: They were often one in the same. Early astronomers, thinkers, 535 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: and healers saw their work as a way to understand 536 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 3: the divine. Sir Isaac Newton, the man who gave us 537 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 3: the laws of gravity, spent more time in his life 538 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 3: studying ancient alchemy and the Bible than he did on physics. 539 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 3: For him, science was about discovering the rules of God's 540 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 3: magnificent creation. So what happened? How did we get from 541 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 3: there to here? This brings us to a period in 542 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 3: history when a great divorce happened between science and spirit. 543 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 3: As researcher Stephen Schwartz pointed out a major turning point 544 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 3: was an event in the fifteen hundreds called the Council 545 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: of Trent. The Catholic Church was feeling threatened by new 546 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 3: ideas that were challenging its authority, so the leaders of 547 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: the church drew a line in the sand. They basically 548 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 3: told the scientific community, you can have the physical world, 549 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: study the stars, the rocks, the human body, that is 550 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 3: your territory. But the soul, the spirit, consciousness, and the 551 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 3: afterlife that is our territory. It belongs to the Church. 552 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 3: And this wasn't a friendly suggestion. Came with a terrifying 553 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: threat enforced by the Inquisition. The message was clear, if 554 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: you are a scientist and you cross that line, you 555 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: will be punished, and the punishment could be imprisonment, torture, 556 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 3: or even death. This fear was very real. In the 557 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: year sixteen hundred, a brilliant thinker named Giordano Bruno was 558 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: burned at the stake for his radical ideas about an 559 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: infinite universe. A few decades later, the famous astronomer Galileo 560 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 3: was forced to publicly renounce his discovery that the Earth 561 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 3: revolved around the Sun and spent the rest of his 562 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: life under house arrest. The message to all scientists was 563 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 3: loud and clear. You stick to the physical world or 564 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 3: you will pay a terrible price. For the next three 565 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 3: hundred years, this deep seated fear shaped the world of science. 566 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 3: A power of unwritten rule was created. Do not touch 567 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 3: the subject of consciousness or spirit. It became unprofessional, a 568 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 3: career killer to ask questions about the soul. Over time, 569 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: scientists did what anyone would do to survive. They began 570 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 3: to ignore the other reality. It's like a child who 571 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 3: has told they can't play with a certain toy. At first, 572 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 3: they are upset, but eventually, to make themselves feel better, 573 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 3: they decide, I never wanted to play with that toy anyway. 574 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: Scientists created a new identity for themselves, one that was 575 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 3: purely materialistic, deciding that if something couldn't be measured, weighed, 576 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 3: or seen under a microscope, it simply wasn't real. A 577 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 3: deep seated taboo was born, and that, my friends, is 578 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 3: a big reason why it still seems taboo to talk 579 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 3: about the afterlife today. That old fear, that cultural wound 580 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: from centuries ago, is still within us. It's an echo 581 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 3: in our modern world. That tells us it's not scientific 582 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 3: to believe in something beyond the physical. But as we 583 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 3: are learning, the evidence for that unseen world is all 584 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 3: around us, waiting for us to be brave enough to look. 585 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 3: And we must remember science is not the be all 586 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 3: and the end all. The idea that science has to 587 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 3: explain everything is simply not true. In fact, the more 588 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 3: scientists discover, the more they realize how much they don't know. 589 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 3: Did you know that scientists today admit that everything we 590 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 3: can see, every star, every galaxy, every planet, every single 591 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 3: thing on this Earth and in the entire known universe, 592 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 3: makes up about only five percent of what's a actually 593 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 3: out there. The other ninety five percent is a complete mystery. 594 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 3: They call it dark matter and dark energy. They know 595 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 3: that it's there because they can see the effects, like 596 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 3: the gravity that holds galaxies together, but they have absolutely 597 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 3: no idea what it is. Ninety five percent of reality 598 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 3: is an invisible mystery to modern science. Could our loved ones, 599 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 3: could the afterlife exist in that vast, unseen, unknown reality. 600 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 3: It's a question science can't answer yet, but I think 601 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 3: we can. And did you know that science can't fully 602 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 3: explain some of the most basic things we experience every day. 603 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 3: They don't have a complete explanation for gravity. They know 604 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 3: how it works, but they don't know why it works. 605 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 3: They can't explain how a bicycle stays up, or even 606 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 3: how a cat purs and what about the placebo effect? 607 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 3: And this is a documented scientific fact that a person's 608 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 3: belief that if they are getting real medicine it can 609 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 3: cause their body to heal itself, even if they were 610 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 3: only given a sugarpill. How does that belief create a 611 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 3: physical change? Science doesn't have the answer. The universe is 612 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 3: filled with these beautiful mysteries. So the next time someone 613 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 3: tells you that the afterlife can't be real because science 614 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 3: doesn't support it, you can gently remind them that science 615 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 3: does not have all the answers. The greatest scientists are 616 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 3: the ones who are humble enough to admit what they 617 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 3: don't know. The taboo against talking about the afterlife is 618 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 3: not a scientific conclusion. It's a historical habit, an echo 619 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 3: from a time of fear. At that time, my friend 620 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 3: is over. We are now in an age where millions 621 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 3: of people are sharing their personal experiences, providing a new 622 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 3: kind of evidence that is just as power powerful, just 623 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 3: as real and just as worthy of our attention. So 624 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 3: we're gonna head off to the break and when we 625 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 3: get back, we have our friend Eric giving some of 626 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 3: the most comforting words about our pets who really are 627 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 3: in the afterlife and they're still part of our life, 628 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 3: and there's a few tips on happiness. We'll be right back. 629 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 3: You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio 630 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 3: and Coast to Coast am Heirinormal Podcast Network. Welcome back 631 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 3: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. You may know, oh, 632 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 3: I am a big fan of medium Scott Milligan. One 633 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 3: of his talents is sitting on behalf of the spirit 634 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 3: world as a trance medium, someone else speaks through him. 635 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 3: We've recently published a book, Conversations with Eric, that is 636 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: so profound on the top questions about life, death and 637 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 3: the afterlife. And happy to say the audio book just 638 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 3: came out and you can hear Eric's words directly on 639 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 3: one of our fridays where you can ask Eric questions yourself. 640 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 3: We had this question come in, Dear Sandra, could you 641 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 3: please ask Eric to talk about pets that have crossed over. 642 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 3: My daughter has lost her beloved dog who passed on 643 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 3: her sixteenth birthday. She is so terribly devastated to the 644 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 3: extent all she can think about is to follow him 645 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 3: and be with him. She loved him so much. They 646 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 3: were never parted for one single day. My daughter is listening, 647 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 3: but hasn't the strength to ask herself. Here is Eric's response. 648 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 7: The pain, my dear, you are feeling now is the 649 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 7: result of true love. If someone is feeling as you 650 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 7: are now, you have known true love. It took a 651 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 7: moment for one to accept. For when I walked upon 652 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 7: your earth, I treated animals appallingly because I was taught 653 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 7: I am the master and I must be obeyed. But 654 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 7: when I came to our side of life, I came 655 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 7: to accept that the light that was in the very 656 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 7: thing I was trying to control was the same light 657 00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 7: within me. It just took a different form. For an 658 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 7: animal shows great compassion. For in your modern world, you 659 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 7: may choose not to sit with your mother why you 660 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 7: are being fed, But the animal will choose to sit 661 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 7: next to you when you wish to watch or read, 662 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 7: or with modern technology, be lost in your world, the 663 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 7: animal will lay with you. If you have conversations to yourself, 664 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 7: the animal will listen. This is true love, the one 665 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 7: you miss today, my dear, that may have struggled to walk, 666 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,439 Speaker 7: to digest, to do things that it used to do. 667 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 7: That is all gone, my friend. But in our world 668 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 7: the animals run and act like children who have been 669 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 7: given candy. But those animals that have been loved by 670 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 7: you will be cared for by your grandparents and also 671 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 7: others that have known you. Your world is of time. 672 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 7: In your short life, you have experienced a lot. In 673 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 7: its short life, it has felt your love and known 674 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 7: your company. But in our world there is no time. 675 00:41:54,760 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 7: To this animal. The separation is only a moment, do 676 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 7: you think, my dear, But our world is above you 677 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 7: or below you. This is not so. Our world is 678 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 7: amongst you. We just moved too fast for you to see, 679 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 7: for your senses may not be accustomed to our Dutch. 680 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 7: So your animal, even though you have said lost, you've 681 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 7: lost no one, my friend, or they sit by your 682 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 7: side when you go to bed. Just recently you thought 683 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 7: you heard, but then you said, oh, it must be 684 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 7: my imagination. For our world can only move from the imagination, 685 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 7: because that is the canvas of expression. You will live. 686 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 7: And if one can say as young Daniel has cheekily 687 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 7: moved close to me. You adopted this animal, You gave 688 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 7: it love. You have an opportunity when you so wish, 689 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 7: to give another animal, an opportunity to know the love. 690 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 7: But that is only at your own pace, my friend. 691 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 7: The pain you are feeling now, as Sandra has given voice, 692 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 7: you said you are thinking of coming to our side 693 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 7: of life to follow. That pain you feel will go away, 694 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 7: but it will be given to someone else, like your mother, 695 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 7: like others who have known and loved you. That is 696 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 7: a gift that no one wishes to receive. Your animal 697 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:20,240 Speaker 7: is not next to me, It is next to you. Now. 698 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 7: We just prayed that through the language of love you 699 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 7: would accept that. But I will say this to you. 700 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 7: Nothing more throw this animal down. Nothing will hurt this animal. 701 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 7: It only knows love. That is why you feel the 702 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 7: pain that you're feeling now. But as you go to bed, 703 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 7: as you go to your place of rest, be aware 704 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 7: of the sounds around you, but also in your dreams. 705 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 7: Be aware of how you hear the snuffles of breath, 706 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 7: and you will know that nothing has ever left you. 707 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 7: It just changes form. And so to the family, I 708 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 7: say this to you. You are grieving together. Grief is 709 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 7: the shadow of love you can never replace, You can 710 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 7: only expand. If you are feeling this pain, go to 711 00:45:51,280 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 7: a place where animals are abandoned and volunteer a short 712 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 7: moment of your time so you can give love as 713 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 7: painful as it is, but you are giving those who 714 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 7: have been abandoned an opportunity to fall in love with you. 715 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:28,720 Speaker 7: And know that by your side there's the one you miss, 716 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 7: encouraging you to smile. Sundra, my dear, anything I say 717 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,720 Speaker 7: will never be pleasing when one has tears in their eyes. 718 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 7: And know this, the love you have will always be. 719 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 7: And when your life has run its course, when you 720 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 7: you're self, find romance and be a person that travels 721 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:15,279 Speaker 7: the world. When you are old and lay in a 722 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 7: bed sweetly, will you dream and be woken by the 723 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 7: snuffling sound, and together you will be again, Sondra, might 724 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 7: dear never please it, But let us move along. 725 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 3: Special words. You can find that audio book on Amazon. 726 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 3: Just type in conversations with Eric. Now. That beautiful message 727 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 3: reminds us that our connections, whether they're an animal or 728 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 3: a person, they're eternal. And this brings me to something 729 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 3: I heard on the radio this week that I want 730 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 3: to share with you. It was from a happiness expert, 731 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,320 Speaker 3: Harvard Professor Arthur C. Brooks, and he was talking about 732 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 3: research and four keys to a truly happy and meaningful life. 733 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 3: It was simple. He says, it all boils down to family, friends, faith, 734 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 3: and service. He explained that we need to actively nurture 735 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 3: our relationships because these are the true currency of life. 736 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 3: He also says that we need to serve, whether it's 737 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 3: work that provides service or volunteering something we can do 738 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 3: to aid and make better the life of another. And finally, 739 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 3: he said faith. And I love this because, as he 740 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 3: explained it, it isn't about one specific religion. It's about 741 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 3: having a spiritual or philosophical belief that helps you zoom 742 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 3: out and see the bigger picture of life, something that 743 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 3: gives your life meaning beyond the day to day worries. 744 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 3: And for many of us, that faith is our deep 745 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,239 Speaker 3: knowing or exploration in the afterlife. It's that faith that 746 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 3: our connections with family and friends are not temporary. It's 747 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,879 Speaker 3: the faith at our service and the love we give 748 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 3: matters and has an eternal impact. And it's the faith 749 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 3: that we are not alone. That my friends is a 750 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 3: powerful recipe for happiness, family, friends, faith and service.
