For over twenty five years, I've been 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: on a journey to prove the existence of life life 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: after death. On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: now know that our loved ones have survived physical death 18 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: and so will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,279 Speaker 2: The episode you're listening to today is going to first 20 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: air before Christmas, but of course the words hold true 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: any time of the year that being said. The holiday 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: season people know as the most wonderful time of the year. 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: But if you're listening to my voice now and you're 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: missing someone you love, I know this can actually be 25 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: the hardest time of the year. We miss our loved ones, 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: especially holidays, birthdays, anniversaries. We wish they were with us, 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: But the truth is they are my friends. Your loved 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: ones really are still here. I've gathered several stories for 29 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,639 Speaker 2: you on this episode, not just about life after death, 30 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: but given the holidays season, a little chat about angels, 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: spirit guides, and even terminal lucidity. 32 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: One of the. 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: Biggest battles we fight when we are grieving is the 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: battle between our heart and our brains. Our heart feels 35 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: our loved ones and says I love them and love 36 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: is eternal. But our brain, well, our brain is the skeptic. 37 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: It wants facts, it wants logic. Our brain, or that 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: ego mind, tells us they are gone, their body stopped working, 39 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: their brain activity ceased. It's over. So who do we 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: listen to? We are taught that our consciousness, the you 41 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: that makes you you, your memories, your personality, your love, 42 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: is just a byproduct of the brain. Science says that 43 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: the brain is like a computer and the mind is 44 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: just the software, and when the computer breaks, the software disappears. 45 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: But my friends, I one hundred percent believe that is 46 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: all wrong. The brain isn't the creator of consciousness. What 47 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: if it's just the receiver. It's like a television set. 48 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: Say you smash your TV screen, the picture goes away, 49 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: but the signal, the broadcast, the show. It's still there, 50 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: invisible in the air, waiting for a new way to 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: be seen. One of your fellow listeners recently sent me 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: a link to an article that was first published in 53 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: Time magazine. It's one of the most powerful things I've 54 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: read because it addresses this exact question. It wasn't written 55 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: by a medium, it wasn't written by a spiritual teacher. 56 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: It was written by a doctor. His name is doctor 57 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: Scott Hag and he is an orthopedic surgeon. Now, orthopedic 58 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: surgeons are about as physical as you can get. They 59 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: are the mechanics of the medical world. As doctor Haig says, 60 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: I fix bones with hardware. He deals with hammers, screws, plates, 61 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: and solid reality. He calls an self a materialist by 62 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: training someone who believes in what he can touch. And see. 63 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 2: But something happened in his hospital that changed his mind forever. 64 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: He wrote this article titled The Power of Hope, to 65 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: share a story about a patient of his named David. 66 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: I want to share this story with you now because 67 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: it proves in a way that few things can, that 68 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: the love you share with your person is stronger than death. 69 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: It is stronger than biology, and it is certainly stronger 70 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 2: than a brain tumor. Doctor Haig explains that he was 71 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: called in to help David because David's cancer had spread 72 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: to his bones. But the real problem wasn't David's hip 73 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: or his pelvis. The real tragedy was his brain. David 74 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: had lung cancer that had spread aggressively into his brain. 75 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 2: Doctor Haig writes that David's head was literally stuffed with 76 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: lung cancer. Now, David was a young man with a 77 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: beautiful young family. He had a wife named Carol, who 78 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: was a nurse, and three young children who would visit 79 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: him every single night. At first, David tried to be 80 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: brave for them. He tried to act like the carefree 81 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 2: dad they knew and loved. But biology is cruel, and 82 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: as the weeks went on, the tumors in his brain grew. 83 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: Doctor Haig watched as David slowly disappeared. First his speech 84 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: started to slur, then he stopped making sense, Then he 85 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: stopped speaking altogether, and finally he stopped moving. Doctor Haig 86 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: describes looking at David's brain scans and feeling a sense 87 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: of hopelessness. He said that the scans showed there was 88 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: barely any brain left. Think about that for a second. 89 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: The physical machinery was destroyed. Doctor Haig wrote beautifully about 90 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: what was missing. He said, the cerebral machine that talked 91 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 2: and wondered, winked and sang, the machine that remembered jokes 92 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: and birthdays, and where the big fish hid on hot days. 93 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: And the lake was nearly gone. It had been replaced 94 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: by tumors. As far as the doctor could tell as 95 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: a man of science looking at the evidence, David was 96 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: just not there. The lights were off, the house was empty. 97 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: One Friday evening, doctor Haig was making his rounds. He 98 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: walked into David's room and the atmosphere was heavy. The 99 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: whole family was there. Carol was there, the three kids 100 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: were there, and everyone was crying. David's breathing had changed. 101 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: He was doing that gasping gulping breathing that doctors call 102 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: agonal respiration. It's a sign that the body is shutting down. 103 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: It means that death is imminent, usually minutes or hours away. Carol, 104 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: being a nurse, knew exactly what she was seeing. She 105 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: knew this was the end. Doctor Haig admits that he 106 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: felt helpless. There was nothing he could do or say. 107 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: He fussed with David's hip a little bit, said some 108 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: empty words just to fill in the silence, and then 109 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: he said he tried to escape. He slid out the door, 110 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: hoping to get to the empty corridor, but Carol followed 111 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: him out. She stopped him in the hallway, away from 112 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: the kids. Her eyes were red from crying, and she 113 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: asked him the question that we all have in our hearts. 114 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: Where is he? She didn't mean his body, she meant him. 115 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: Doctor Haig noticed the cross around her neck. He wanted 116 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: to comfort her. He told her, I'm not sure where 117 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: he is, but I'm pretty sure where he's going. He 118 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: left the hospital that night believing that David would never 119 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: wake up again. His brain was destroyed. He was in 120 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: a coma, and he was dying. But then came a 121 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: Saturday morning. The sun was pouring into the room. When 122 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: doctor Haig returned, the bed was empty. It was made 123 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: up with fresh sheets. David was gone. As the doctor 124 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: turned to leave, he was blocked by a nurse, an 125 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: older Irish woman who had been on duty the night before. 126 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: She looked at him with a very serious expression, and 127 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 2: she told him something impossible. She said, he woke up, doctor, 128 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: He just woke up just after you left. Doctor Haig 129 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: was stunned. His eyebrows went up. He woke up. The 130 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 2: nurse nodded. She said, he said goodbye to them all, 131 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,239 Speaker 2: like I'm talking to you right now, like a miracle. 132 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: Can you imagine that after weeks of silence, after his 133 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: brain had been physically replaced by tumors, David came back. 134 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: The nurse continued. She said, he talked to them and 135 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: patted them and smiled for about five minutes. Then he 136 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: went out again and he passed within the hour. Five 137 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: minutes of clarity, five minutes of smiles, five minutes to 138 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: say the things that needed to be said. Doctor Haig 139 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: couldn't wrap his head around it. Medically, it shouldn't have 140 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 2: been possible. Two weeks later, he was in the hospital 141 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: lobby when he saw David's wife, Carol. It was a 142 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: busy place, very public, but he couldn't help himself. He 143 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: had to know if it was true. He stopped her 144 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: and he asked, uh, Carol did. He didn't even have 145 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: to finish the sentence. She knew exactly what he was saying. 146 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: She looked at him with a wide, knowing smile. She 147 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: nodded and she said, oh, yes, he sure did. Doctor 148 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: Hagu writes, I believed her. Now Here is the part 149 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: I want you to hear. This is the gift for 150 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: your logical brain. Doctor Haig explains that it could not 151 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: have been David's brain that woke him up that Friday night. 152 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: That's a medical fact. He says. His brain had already 153 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 2: been destroyed. Metastases actually replace brain tissue. The brain is 154 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: just not there. The machine was broken, the hardware was gone. 155 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: So what woke him up? Who was talking to his children, 156 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: who was smiling at his wife and saying goodbye? Doctor 157 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: Haig's conclusion is profound. He says, what woke my patient 158 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: that Friday was simply his mind forcing its way through 159 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: a broken brain, a father's final act to comfort his family. 160 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: He realized in that moment that the mind, our will, 161 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: our hope, our love is something separate. It is weightless 162 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: and invisible, but it is as real as rocks and water. 163 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 2: He says that science tries to ignore these things because 164 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: it can't measure them, but he can't ignore them anymore. 165 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: He says it would be cowardly to ignore what he saw. 166 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 2: He calls that moment, that beautiful five minute goodbye, an 167 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: appearance of the spirits of others, of minds, uncloaked and 168 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: naked virtue. It means that David wasn't his brain cancer, 169 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: he wasn't his failing body. He was a powerful, eternal spirit, 170 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: and his love for his family was so strong, so determined, 171 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: that he was able to bypass the broken machinery of 172 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 2: his body to deliver one final message, I love you, 173 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: I am here, and this isn't the end. If David 174 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: could do that, if he could push through a destroyed 175 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: brain just to comfort his family, imagine what your loved 176 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: ones are doing right now. They don't have the limitation 177 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 2: of a sick body anymore. They are free, and they 178 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: are trying in a million little ways to tell you 179 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: that they love you. Maybe they are sending you a sign, 180 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: Maybe they are visiting you in a dream, or maybe 181 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: they are just sitting quietly beside you right now, hoping 182 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: you can feel their love. In this episode, we're going 183 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: to explore those connections. We're going to talk about whether 184 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: you call them angels or spirit guides who help us 185 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: make that bridge. We're going to hear a story from 186 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: a woman who actually died, went to the other place 187 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: and met her guardian who has been with her since birth. 188 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: But the truth is we are never alone, not on Christmas, 189 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 2: not on anniversaries, not on birthdays, not on any other 190 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 2: particular day, not ever more stories. When we come back, 191 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: you're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio 192 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: and Coast to Coast a m paranormal podcast Network. Welcome 193 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. In 194 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: our last segment, we heard the incredible story of doctor 195 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: Haig and his patient David, and about what they call 196 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: terminal lucidity, or hospice nurses call it rallying just before 197 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: someone passes. We learn that the mind, the spirit, the love, 198 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: the real you is stronger than the physical brain. Just 199 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: like a broken television, the TV signal is still strong 200 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 2: and still exists, but that leaves us with a big 201 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: question when we step out of our physical body, who 202 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: who is there to meet us? Are we alone? I 203 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: want to share with you a story that answers those questions. 204 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: It comes from a woman named Lorie Lambert. What I 205 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: love about Lourie is she isn't a overly spiritual person. 206 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: In nineteen eighty seven, she was serving in the US 207 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: Navy stationed in Oregon. She was practical, she is tough, 208 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: and she was definitely not looking for a spiritual experience. 209 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: She decided to go on a whitewater rafting trip on 210 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: the Rogue River to bond with her co workers. Now 211 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: the Rogue River is beautiful, but it has a very 212 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: dangerous section. The water was high, fast, and freezing cold. 213 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: Laurie was in an inflatable kayak and she missed a 214 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 2: tricky maneuver. Her kayak hit a series of boulders and 215 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: she was thrown into the water. She wasn't just floating. 216 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 2: The current sucked her down thirty feet. She describes it 217 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: as being in a washing machine. She was trapped in 218 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: the dark, freezing water, in hailing water, unable to find 219 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: the surface. In that moment of panic, she realized she 220 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: was going to die, and she did the only thing 221 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: she could. She asked God for help. I want you 222 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: to listen to Lori describe in her own words what 223 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: happened the moment she said that prayer. 224 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 3: My near death experience occurred in May nineteen eighty seven. 225 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: My duty station was Who's Head, Oregon. I was in 226 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: the US Navy. I decided to register for the whitewater 227 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: rafting exertion because it was a way of bonding with 228 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: my coworkers. All of there were rapids except two fill 229 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: into class one, two and three difficulty. The part that 230 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: I had almost drowned and was a Class four section 231 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 3: called Blossom Bar. During the day, it was like the one, 232 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 3: two and three rafts and it was pretty calm, but 233 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: the water was really high and it was very cold. 234 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: It was running fast that year. So after lunch we 235 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 3: went through Mule Canyon, which is like the doorway basically 236 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: to the Class four section. The water is like thirty 237 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: feet deep and I had to do a right left 238 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: right maneuver with my paddle, and I tried to follow 239 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: the guy that was doing it, and he got to 240 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 3: it without a difficulty. But when I tried it, I 241 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: missed one side and I wound up getting a series 242 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: of four huge boulders and I hit the rock broadside 243 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: with my inflatable kayak and I rolled out into the water, 244 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: which was about thirty feet I had a life vest on, 245 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: but it was like a washing machine. The current was 246 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: so strong that no matter what I did, I couldn't 247 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: get to the surface, and I couldn't feel the bottom either. 248 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 3: It was dark there, but I could see the sky. 249 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 3: So I'm kind of like trying to reach for the 250 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: sky and nothing's happening. I'm inhaling water, ice, cold water, 251 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: and I'm panicking. The first thing I went through my 252 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 3: mind was that I'm going to die here, and I 253 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: asked God to help me. And after I said God, 254 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: please help me, the water around me turned white. My 255 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: lungs stopped burning, and I felt like I was being 256 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 3: propelled into a white tunnel where my feet were connected 257 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: by a silver cord, and I just went to the tunnel. 258 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 3: It was very calm and it was very peaceful, and 259 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 3: I emerged on the other side. It was like a room, 260 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 3: but it looked like clouds, but it was solid, and 261 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 3: there were three beings in the limb. It looked like 262 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 3: glass prisms. There was one that was shorter, one that 263 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 3: was medium sized, and one in the middle was the 264 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: tallest one. And I immediately was like, what the hell 265 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 3: is this? But they had given me this sense of adoration, 266 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 3: like they worshiped every cell I was made of. But 267 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 3: I wasn't comfortable with their appearance, so they changed. They 268 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 3: transformed into an angel that I could recognize. The only 269 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 3: difference was that their wings weren't like bird wings. Their 270 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 3: wings were like fiber optic cables, and it kind of 271 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 3: made the shape of wings. The light light energy it 272 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 3: was flickering through their eyes. They had this sparkle to them. 273 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: Looked at the inside of a DVD or CD when 274 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 3: it's spinning, that flickering kind of like you see multicolor. 275 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 3: That's how their eyes look. You can see the light 276 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 3: energy coming from them. Again. It was like the sense 277 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: of unconditional love and a sense of belonging, just like 278 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 3: I was home. The one on the left, the shortest 279 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: fun he said his name was Yoshal, and he said, 280 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 3: I've been with you since the beginning, and I will 281 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: be with you until the end. The one in the middle, 282 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 3: the tallest one, had a book and in the book. 283 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: It was a real book. It was like when the 284 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: pages turned, it was like images of when I was conceived, 285 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 3: all the way to things that I did during my 286 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: life that I might have done a better job, or 287 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 3: the things that I did well. And then there was 288 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 3: an image of and two children. You couldn't see their faces, 289 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: they were just silhouettes. And then the last page was 290 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 3: a multitude of children and you couldn't see their faces. 291 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 3: It was just like silhouettes. I don't know what that meant. 292 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: But the third angel said that I needed to be 293 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: there for them, that I could not stay, that I 294 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 3: was not done with whatever it is that I was 295 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 3: supposed to do on earth, that I needed to go 296 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 3: back to my body. And Yashael said that he was 297 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: my guardian, my angel, and he said that you need 298 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: to go back to your body. It isn't time yet, 299 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 3: but while you're here, i'll show you some things. So 300 00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 3: I took his hand and we flew and I could 301 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: see a waterfall with no beginning and no end, and 302 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 3: when I looked up, there was this white light that 303 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 3: kind of rained down on everything, and it was just 304 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 3: this sense of loves. I didn't want to leave. There 305 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 3: was a field that looked like wheat, and when God's 306 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: breath blew over it, it would sing, and there was 307 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: colors of flowers that I can't even describe that it 308 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: was so brilliant and so perfect. He took me to 309 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: a small lake, but when you look into it, you 310 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 3: can see people on Earth going about their daily like 311 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 3: I could see my family and everything. But at the 312 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: same time, I wanted to be there. I didn't care 313 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: about what was going on down on Earth. I felt 314 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 3: so comfortable at home. Next to the water was an 315 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: old country fence, and beyond that was this huge tree. 316 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: I mean it looked like an oak, but it was 317 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 3: golden and it had gold leaves on it. And like again, 318 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 3: when God's breath blue, the leaves would change to birds 319 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 3: and they would fly off. Yoshiel told me that I 320 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 3: can't go beyond the barrier. He told me that I 321 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 3: needed to go back to my body, and he said 322 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 3: that I had to be here for them, and I 323 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: told him, no, like it's here, feel loved here, and 324 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: he said, it's time for you to go back to 325 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 3: your body. He pushed me so hard that I popped 326 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: up out of that hole that I was stuck in 327 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: all the water came out of my lungs. I know 328 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: that when they kicked me up out of the water, 329 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 3: they grabbed me by the back of my life jacket 330 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: and dragged me up on like one of those pontoon boats. 331 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: They didn't have to do CPDR or anything like that. 332 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 3: It was like an instant, like what happened. Something happened, 333 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: But I didn't get the details until the months after 334 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 3: the NDE because back then they didn't have the Internet. 335 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to that. I love how Laurie 336 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: describes those angels wings like fiber optic cables, a field 337 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: of wheat that sings when God's breath blows over it, 338 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: and that golden tree where the leaves turn into birds 339 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 2: and fly away. It paints a picture of a world 340 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: that is more vibrant, more alive, and more magical than 341 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: anything we can imagine here. But I want you to 342 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: focus on her spirit guide. Remember what he told her. 343 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: He said, I have been with you since the beginning, 344 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: and I will be with you until the end. Laurie 345 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: met her guardian angel or guide. She realized she had 346 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: a teammate who was walking beside her every single second 347 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 2: of her life, unseen but always present. I too believe 348 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: that we all have one special guardian. There's more I'm 349 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: sure that come and go throughout our lives, but sometimes 350 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: that spirit team may include people we've lost. I have 351 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: had several mediums tell me something strange. They said, Sandra, 352 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: your dad has joined your spirit team. He is helping 353 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 2: you from the other side, not just as your father, 354 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: but as a guide. I do believe that all of 355 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: our loved ones in the afterlife have a job to 356 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: do too, and they continue to learn and explore on 357 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: the other side, but their job is also to support you. 358 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: So when you think about your team, imagine your spirit 359 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: guide or angel standing right next to you with unconditional love, 360 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: no matter what you may say or do. But they're 361 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: not alone. Imagine your loved ones with them. So Laurie 362 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: saw these guides when she crossed over. But the good 363 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: news is that you don't need to have a near 364 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: death exp barriers to know that they are there. Sometimes 365 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: they just come to us. They drop signs, they send signals, 366 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: and for some people they are actually visible when we 367 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: come back from the break. I'll tell you the story 368 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: of an irishwoman who sees angels as clearly as you 369 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: and I would see each other. She has a beautiful 370 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: message about how our loved ones, especially the children, are 371 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: always right here sparkling in our lives. We'll be right back. 372 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio 373 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back 374 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sanders Champlinan. We just 375 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: heard about Lorie Lambert, a woman who crossed the line 376 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: of death and met her guardian angel. She traveled to 377 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: a different realm to see the beings of light that 378 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 2: watch over us all. But what if you didn't have 379 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: to die to see them? What if the veil between 380 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: our world and theirs isn't a brick wall, but just 381 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: a thin, sheer curtain. And what if for some people 382 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 2: that curtain is already open. I want to tell you 383 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 2: about a woman named Laura Burne. If you passed Laura 384 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 2: on the street, you probably wouldn't think twice. She's a 385 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: tiny woman from Ireland, very soft spoken, very humble. She 386 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 2: calls herself just an ordinary woman. She grew up extremely 387 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: poor and because of severe dyslexia, she was told by 388 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 2: her whole family that she was retarded, a terrible word 389 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: we don't use now, but they used back then because 390 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 2: she couldn't read or write. But Laura had a secret, 391 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: a secret she kept for decades, since she was an 392 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: infant lying in her crib. Lorna has been able to 393 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: see angel and I don't mean she senses them or 394 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: sees them in her mind's eye. She sees them physically. 395 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 2: She sees them standing behind people in the grocery store. 396 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: She sees them sitting beside drivers in cars. She sees 397 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: them wrapping their wings around people who are crying. Lorna 398 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: has now sold over a million books in fifty countries. 399 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: She has been interviewed by theologians and news anchors, and 400 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: her story gives us a glimpse into the afterlife. One 401 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 2: of the very first memories Lorna has is when she 402 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: was just a toddler, about two and a half years old. 403 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 2: She was sitting in front of the fireplace in her 404 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: family's tiny cottage. It was warm, the fire was crackling, 405 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: and she was playing with wooden blocks. But she wasn't alone. 406 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: Sitting right next to her was a little boy. He 407 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: was bright, he was happy. They were playing together, passing 408 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: the blocks back and forth. Lorna remembers reaching out her 409 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 2: hand to him, and as her tiny hand touched his 410 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 2: tiny hand, something miraculous happened. The air between them sparkled. 411 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 2: It was an explosion of light and pure love. It 412 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 2: wasn't scary, It was the most natural feeling in the world. 413 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: She just sat there, bathing in the warmth of the 414 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 2: fire and the warmth of this little boy's presence. It 415 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 2: wasn't until years later that the angels explained to her 416 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: who he was. That little boy was her brother, but 417 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: he had died before Lorna was born. This story touches 418 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 2: my heart because it answers the biggest fear we have 419 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: when we lose someone, especially a child. We worry they 420 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: are gone. We worry they are lonely. We worry they 421 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: are all alone. But Lorna's vision shows us that they 422 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: are right here with us. They are part of our 423 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: daily lives, playing, loving and sparkling right beside us. Lorna's 424 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: mother never knew this. In Ireland back then, you weren't 425 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 2: allowed to grieve openly, had to just get on with it. 426 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: Her mother carried that grief in silence for years. It 427 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 2: wasn't until Lorna was an adult and finally wrote her 428 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: book that she was able to read that chapter to 429 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 2: her mother. Her mother cried. She said she always felt 430 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,239 Speaker 2: him near her, but she thought she was imagining it. 431 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: Lorna gave her the greatest gift a mother could receive, 432 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: the confirmation that her deceased son was actually happy, alive, 433 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: and still part of the family. But Lorna's life it 434 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 2: wasn't easy because she saw things that others didn't, and 435 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: the angels told her she had to keep it a secret. 436 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: They told her if she told anyone, she would be 437 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: locked away in an institution. So she grew up in 438 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: a world of silence. The fact that she wrote a 439 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: book is a miracle in itself. Remember, she had severe dyslexia. 440 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: She can hardly read or write. She told me a 441 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: story about pushing her baby daughter in a stroller on 442 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: a cold, breezy day, and suddenly she felt presence behind her. 443 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 2: She stopped the stroller and turned around, standing there was 444 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: archangel Michael. It wasn't scary, It was even teasing her 445 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 2: a little bit, and he delivered a message for her. 446 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 2: He said, Lorna, it is time for you to write. 447 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: Laura actually got annoyed with him. She stood there in 448 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: the street holding the handlebars of the stroller and argued 449 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: with an angel. She said, I can't read or write. 450 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: How on earth do you expect me to do that? 451 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: She said no to this calling for years. Many years later, 452 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: and after Laura's husband had passed away, a stranger came 453 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: to her door. He walked in with two boxes, put 454 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: them on the table, and left. What was inside the 455 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: boxes a laptop, computer and voice recognition software. It was 456 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 2: the tool she needed. She realized she didn't have to write, 457 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: she just had to speak, and thanks to that miracle, 458 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: we have her stories today. Laura eventually married him, man 459 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: named Joe, and even though she saw angels, she was 460 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: not spared the pain of being human. In fact, when 461 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: she was just ten years old, an angel showed her 462 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: a vision of Joe. He showed her the man she 463 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 2: would fall in love with, but he also told her 464 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 2: the hard truth. They wouldn't grow old together. He would 465 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 2: get sick and die young. When Joe finally did pass away, 466 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: Lorna was heartbroken, but she was also given this vision. 467 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 2: As Joe took his last breath, she didn't just see 468 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: a body shutting down, she saw the room filled with angels, 469 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 2: and she saw Joe's soul. She saw his energy, his love, 470 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 2: the very essence of him lift out of his body. 471 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: She said, it was beautiful, it was peaceful. He wasn't 472 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 2: in pain anymore, and he was free. It reminds us 473 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: that what we see at a funeral is just the shell. 474 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 2: The butterfly has already flown. One of the most amazing 475 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: things Lorna talks about is the guardian Angel. We've all 476 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 2: heard that term, but we think of it as a metaphor. 477 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: But Laura says it is a reality. She says that 478 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: every single person has a magnificent being of light standing 479 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: behind them, regardless of their beliefs, regardless of their religion, 480 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 2: their past, or their mistakes. Whether you call it the 481 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: guardian angel or your spirit guide, Lorna said, it is 482 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 2: the gatekeeper of your soul. She says, this angel was 483 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: with you before you were born. It was there when 484 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: you took your first breath, and it will be the 485 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 2: one to take your hand when you take your last breath. 486 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: Lorna says, your guardian angel loves you unconditionally. It never 487 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 2: judges you, it never gets tired of you. It never 488 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 2: looks away. She said, to your guardian angel, you are 489 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: number one, and it only has eyes for you. Imagine that, 490 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: even on your worst days, when you're feeling unlovable, when 491 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 2: you're feeling alone, when you're crying on the bathroom floor, 492 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 2: there is a magnificent being standing right there, looking at 493 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: you with absolute love, holding space for you, waiting for 494 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: you to ask for help. You don't have to earn it, 495 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: my friends, It's already yours. Lorna also shared a beautiful 496 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 2: story about a little boy who was very sick in 497 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: the hospital. He kept asking his parents to take him 498 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: to see Lorna. When he finally arrived, he was frustrated. 499 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: He told Lorna, mom and dad are not listening to me. 500 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: I've been trying to tell them I'm going home soon. 501 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: His parents thought he meant home to their house, but 502 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: the little boy looked at Lorna and said, I see 503 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: my guardian angel now. He meant he was going home 504 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: to heaven. It was a heartbreaking moment. Lorna couldn't tell 505 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 2: the parents that their son was going to die. Instead, 506 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 2: she gave them the best advice she could. She told them, 507 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 2: spend every moment with your son don't miss a single moment. 508 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 2: That boy passed a week later, but because of that advice, 509 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: his parents didn't waste time in denial. They spent that 510 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: week just loving him. Lorna reminds us that children often 511 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 2: see what we cannot. They can see our guides or 512 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 2: our angels. They see the way home. And as I'm 513 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 2: recording this in the holiday season, I'll share with you 514 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: Lorna's vision of Christmas because this is a story that 515 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: may change how you look at the holiday. Lorna says 516 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: that during the Christmas season, the gates of heaven open 517 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: up a little bit more. She describes seeing streams of 518 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 2: angels pouring down from the heavens coming to earth, and 519 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: they are carrying something. She says, they are all carrying 520 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: balls of light. These balls of light are filled with 521 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 2: the spirit of hope, belief, happiness, and joy. Lorna says 522 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 2: she watches these angels visit every single home. It doesn't 523 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 2: matter if it's a mansion, a tiny apartment, a hospital room, 524 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: or a tent on the street. The angels go to 525 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: where people are and they drop these balls of light 526 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 2: into the home. She says. When the light hits it explodes, 527 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 2: it lights up every nook and cranny of the house. 528 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 2: It touches the hearts of the people inside. Sometimes we 529 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 2: feel it, don't we. We feel that sudden moment of 530 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 2: peace in the middle of chaos. We feel a sudden 531 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: warmth when we look at the Christmas tree, we feel 532 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 2: a memory with a loved one. We may even feel 533 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 2: that sense of goosebumps. We think it might just be nostalgia, 534 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 2: but Laura says it's actual gift of energy from the 535 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 2: other side. Lorna also believes deeply in the power of prayer, 536 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 2: but she doesn't mean kneeling in a church. She says, 537 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 2: you could be driving your car, or sitting on a 538 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 2: bus or out for a walk and just think the 539 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 2: word help. That is a prayer. She describes seeing prayer energy. 540 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 2: She says it looks like Niagara falls, but billions of 541 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 2: times bigger, and instead of coming down, it's going up. 542 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 2: She sees angels taking those prayers and enhancing them, carrying 543 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 2: them up to the divine. It's a massive upward waterfall 544 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 2: of love and request. So if you're hurting this holiday 545 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 2: season or any day, try sending up a prayer. It 546 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: doesn't have to be fancy, just the words help me 547 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 2: is enough to create that waterfall. Lorna's message is simple. 548 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 2: You are never alone. You're supported by a team of 549 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: angels and guides who adore you, and you are surrounded 550 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 2: by the souls of the people you love. She says, 551 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 2: you are pure love. You can't dilute it and you 552 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 2: can't get rid of it. So how can we connect 553 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: with this team? How do we feel that sparkle that 554 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 2: Lorna felt with her brother. How do we know our 555 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 2: guardian angel is there with us. You don't need to 556 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 2: be a mystic to do it. You don't need to 557 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 2: see them with your physical eyes like Lorna does. You 558 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 2: just need to close your eyes and look with your heart. 559 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 2: In the next segment, I want to do something a 560 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 2: little different. I want to guide you through a short experience. 561 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 2: I want to help you quiet the noise of the world, 562 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: step into that quiet space, and perhaps meet your team. 563 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 2: I want you to feel, just for a moment, that 564 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 2: hand holding yours. So if you can get comfortable, if 565 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 2: you're driving, just keep listening and promise you'll listen to 566 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 2: this later when you get home. We're going to take 567 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 2: a short break, but when we come back, we're going 568 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,280 Speaker 2: to meet the ones who have been with us since 569 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 2: the beginning. We'll be right back. You're listening to Shades 570 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 2: of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Cost to Coast 571 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. 572 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 2: I'm Sander Champlain. Now we've heard the stories of guardian 573 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 2: angels or guides, whatever term makes you feel more comfortable. 574 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: But hearing stories is one thing, feeling is another. Throughout 575 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 2: this episode, we've talked about the idea that you have 576 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 2: a guardian who's been with you since the beginning, and 577 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 2: the idea that your loved ones are right there with 578 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 2: them too. I don't want you to just take my 579 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 2: word for it. I want you to meet them now. 580 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 2: Remember your imagination is the gateway to that unseen world, 581 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 2: and with practice, those in spirit can use your mind 582 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 2: to show many images and experiences. However, we're still human, 583 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: so if there's any fear or anything negative that seems 584 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: to creep in, just let it go. That's just our 585 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 2: human ego. So if you can put down whatever else 586 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 2: you're doing, make yourself comfortable, sit back, relax and close 587 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 2: your eyes. Take a deep breath in through your nose. 588 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 2: Filling your lungs completely and hold it for a moment. 589 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 2: Now let it out slowly through your mouth, releasing all 590 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 2: of the tension in your shoulders and in your jaw 591 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 2: and in your hands. Let's do that again. Deep breath in, 592 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 2: inviting in peace, and a long, slow breath out, letting 593 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 2: go of grief, letting go of any stre us of 594 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 2: this time of year. Just for now, I want you 595 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 2: to use your imagination. Imagination is the bridge to reality. 596 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 2: I want you to imagine a time before you were born. 597 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 2: Imagine yourself as being pure light. You are floating in 598 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 2: a place of absolute love and safety. It is warm here, 599 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 2: it is bright, there is no pain, there is no time. 600 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 2: And as you float in this beautiful space, you become 601 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 2: aware that you are not alone. Someone is coming towards you, 602 00:40:53,520 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 2: a magnificent being of light. This is your guardian all them, 603 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 2: an angel, a guide, a spirit friend. The label doesn't matter. 604 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 2: What matters is the feeling. You may not be able 605 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 2: to see them clearly, or they may just represent themselves 606 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 2: as a light. No matter how they represent themselves. As 607 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 2: they get closer to you, you feel a wave of 608 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:29,760 Speaker 2: love wash over you that is so powerful, so unconditional. 609 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 2: It brings tears to your spirit eyes. This being knows 610 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 2: you completely. They know the life you're about to live 611 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 2: on earth. They know the struggles you will have, and 612 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 2: they know the mistakes you will make. And they love 613 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 2: you because of them, not in spite of them. Imagine 614 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 2: this guardian taking your hands, looking into your eyes. Guys, 615 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 2: feel them say to you, I will go with you. 616 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 2: I will stand right by your side when you take 617 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 2: that first breath. I will walk beside you when you 618 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 2: are lonely. I will catch your tears when you cry, 619 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 2: and I will never ever look away. Feel the safety 620 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 2: of that promise. You have never been alone, not for 621 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 2: one second. Now, I want you to fast forward, move 622 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: through the timeline of your life. See yourself growing up, 623 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 2: See the times you fell down, and see this guardian 624 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 2: picking you up. See the times you felt unlovable, and 625 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 2: see this guardian standing right behind you, beaming love into 626 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:09,720 Speaker 2: your back, whispering you are perfect, You are just learning. 627 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 2: You are my number one. And now bring your awareness 628 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: back to the present moment, to right now. Imagine you 629 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 2: are sitting in a beautiful room, a sacred space, and 630 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:35,240 Speaker 2: it is filled with soft golden light. You are sitting 631 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 2: in a comfortable chair and standing right behind you is 632 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 2: that same guardian. Feel their hands resting gently on your shoulders. 633 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 2: Feel the warmth of their presence. They are so proud 634 00:43:54,520 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: of how strong and brave you have been. Now look 635 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 2: around this room. A door opens and glittering light just 636 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:13,919 Speaker 2: pours in. Walking through that door are the people you love, 637 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 2: the ones you have missed so terribly, the ones you 638 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 2: thought were gone. And perhaps if you have special pets 639 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 2: in spirit, they're walking in with your loved ones. See 640 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 2: them walking in, healthy and whole, See them smiling. You 641 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 2: may even see tails wagging. They aren't sick anymore, they 642 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 2: aren't in pain. They are radiant. See them coming over 643 00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 2: to you now, gathering around your chair. Maybe it's your 644 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,280 Speaker 2: dad standing tall and proud. Maybe it's your mother reaching 645 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 2: out to touch your cheek. Maybe it's a child running 646 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 2: over to jump in your lap. 647 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 3: Maybe it's a. 648 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 2: Pet giving you a lick on the cheek. Feel them, 649 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 2: feel their hands on yours, feel their hugs and their 650 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 2: arms around you. They want you to know that they 651 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 2: haven't missed a single thing. They were there for your birthday, 652 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 2: they were there for anniversaries. They are going to be 653 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 2: with you for each and every holiday. Imagine a table 654 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 2: set for a holiday dinner. It's beautiful. There are decorations 655 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 2: and candle glowing, and there's a lot of food, and 656 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 2: there is one empty chair at the table. Usually that 657 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 2: chair makes you sad. But look at it now. In 658 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 2: your mind's eye, see your loved one sitting in that chair. 659 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 2: See them raising a glass to you, See them laughing 660 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 2: at the conversation, See them basking in the love of 661 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 2: the family. They are not missing it, they are part 662 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 2: of it. Hear them whisper to you. I am right here. 663 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 2: I am part of the celebration. My love is this 664 00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 2: seasoning in the food. My joy is the flickering in 665 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 2: the candle. I am home, I am with you, and 666 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 2: I love you. Take a moment to sit with your team, 667 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 2: your guardian, your loved ones, and I will. 668 00:47:22,280 --> 00:48:13,879 Speaker 4: Be quiet for just a minute. 669 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 2: Feel that circle of truth tightening around you. This is reality, 670 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 2: This is the truth. You are supported, you are cherished, 671 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 2: and you are never walking this path alone. And now, 672 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,879 Speaker 2: very gently, start to bring your awareness back to your 673 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:53,919 Speaker 2: physical body. Feel your feet on the floor, feel your 674 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 2: hands in your lap. Take a deep breath in and 675 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 2: let it out, and when you're ready open your eyes 676 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 2: welcome back. I hope you can carry that feeling with you, 677 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 2: not just today, but throughout the year, throughout the holiday season, 678 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 2: and when you see that empty chair or see their picture, 679 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,319 Speaker 2: just try to remember that they are with you.
