Speaker 2: the world needs your energy. Welcome to the program.
Speaker 3: Hi, George, thank you so much. Thanks for having me
Speaker 3: and I want to thank you for what you're doing
Speaker 3: to help raise a vibration of the collective conscious.
Speaker 2: It is my pleasure. Indeed, you have an incredible story
Speaker 2: with Mark Abrahamian, who was the lead guitarist for the
Speaker 2: what was the Jefferson Starship, but it was the Starship
Speaker 2: when he was doing it. He died of a heart
Speaker 2: attack at forty six, right after a concert in Nebraska.
Speaker 2: Tell me about this.
Speaker 3: So my meeting with Mark was really unusual because he
Speaker 3: was doing a concert with thirty eight Special and Starship
Speaker 3: on a weekend that I was actually supposed to be
Speaker 3: at a family readingion two states away, but because the
Speaker 3: song Miracles is my all time favorite song, I changed
Speaker 3: all of our plans. We had my daughter's birthday party
Speaker 3: and I found myself at a thirty eight Special concert
Speaker 3: and my son had just started playing guitar, he was
Speaker 3: about ten years old, and he pulled out a guitar
Speaker 3: pick and asked if we could find a guitarist to
Speaker 3: sign his guitar pick, and I wound up meeting a
Speaker 3: guy who was just giving someone a bathroom break at
Speaker 3: a T shirt stand, and he turned out to be
Speaker 3: the concert promoter, and because it was my daughter's birthday,
Speaker 3: he gave us backstage passes for that night for thirty
Speaker 3: eight Special, which also included backstage passes the next day
Speaker 3: for Starship and since I knew for sure we were
Speaker 3: going to meet the band. I looked up everybody bio
Speaker 3: and I discovered that Mark had been a guitar teacher,
Speaker 3: and I thought, well, this will be a great opportunity
Speaker 3: to ask him some questions for my brand new guitar
Speaker 3: playing son. And so that's exactly what happened. And when
Speaker 3: I connected with Mark, it was a magnetic connection immediately,
Speaker 3: and he told me that I could contact him and
Speaker 3: ask him anything and he would be happy to help us.
Speaker 3: And so I went home and announced to everybody that
Speaker 3: I'm good at building relationships and I'm going to start
Speaker 3: a relationship with him, a friendship, so that maybe year
Speaker 3: when he came back to town, my son could get a
Speaker 3: guitar lesson from a real, live rock star. And that
Speaker 3: began what was very innocent conversations between the two of us,
Speaker 3: but very quickly turned into something much deeper, where Mark
Speaker 3: turned out to be probably my greatest spiritual teacher, and
Speaker 3: we had this magnetic connection that was just ineffable. I
Speaker 3: feel like sometimes when you meet somebody, you feel like
Speaker 3: you've known them forever, and that's the kind of relationship
Speaker 3: we had. So we were on and off for a while,
Speaker 3: and then things just didn't work out for us to
Speaker 3: be together. At that time. He couldn't move to me,
Speaker 3: I couldn't move to him, and so we just ended
Speaker 3: things and I hadn't spoken to him for about three years.
Speaker 2: How did you find out? How did you hear that
Speaker 2: he had passed away? After that concert?
Speaker 3: So one day I was walking at my ponds and
Speaker 3: I had this spot that he died, and it seemed
Speaker 3: like a ridiculous spot because he was forty six and
Speaker 3: healthy as far as I knew. But when we ended things,
Speaker 3: I made a very concerted effort not to follow his
Speaker 3: whereabouts or I didn't want to know anything about what
Speaker 3: he was doing and where he was. So I hadn't
Speaker 3: kept back at him in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 3: And this is back in twenty twelve, so you know,
Speaker 3: I just was living my life. He had moved on.
Speaker 3: All I knew was that he was in a relationship
Speaker 3: and I had gotten back together with my husband. But
Speaker 3: this spot that I had just seemed ridiculous, so I
Speaker 3: pushed it away, And about an hour later, I was
Speaker 3: in the shower washing my hair, and I had a
Speaker 3: second thought that he had died in a plane crash
Speaker 3: and that his bandmates were going to call me now
Speaker 3: this spot, I didn't push away because I didn't think
Speaker 3: it was my thought. He was a cigarette smoker, so
Speaker 3: if I were going to imagine a death scene for him,
Speaker 3: it would have been from one cancer, not from flying,
Speaker 3: which I thought was pretty safe. And a couple of
Speaker 3: hours later, my dad had gone to work that morning
Speaker 3: and there was a CNN ticker on his computer that
Speaker 3: said that Mark had stepped off the stage after a
Speaker 3: concert in Norfolk, Nebraska and had a massive heart attack
Speaker 3: and died immediately. And my dad texted me, but I
Speaker 3: did not get the message. And my mom called me,
Speaker 3: and somehow it did not ring through on my bluetooth
Speaker 3: in my car, and she left me a message, And
Speaker 3: when I was waiting for a customer, I noticed this
Speaker 3: miscall and this message, and I got a really bad
Speaker 3: feeling that something had happened. But her message didn't make
Speaker 3: any sense. She was telling me that she was sorry
Speaker 3: and I should just go home and feel my feelings.
Speaker 3: And when I called her, she kind of reiterated this
Speaker 3: message and I was like, I don't know what you're
Speaker 3: talking about. And she was ultimately the one that delivered
Speaker 3: the message that he had died, But I feel like
Speaker 3: he was letting me know, even though we hadn't been
Speaker 3: connected for the last three years, that he was with
Speaker 3: me art and sold because we had that kind of
Speaker 3: a connection.
Speaker 2: Does he continue to stay in touch with you from
Speaker 2: the other side?
Speaker 3: Lord? Yes. So he died in twenty twelve, so it's
Speaker 3: been eleven years. I've received hundreds of signs from him,
Speaker 3: and the first sign that he sent me began about
Speaker 3: four days after he died.
Speaker 2: What kinds of signals does he send?
Speaker 3: Well? Because we were so connected in music while he
Speaker 3: was alive. He uses music a lot to communicate. So
Speaker 3: the first day, the first line I ever got from him,
Speaker 3: four days after he died, I got in the car.
Speaker 3: I turned the car on and the radio screen said
Speaker 3: Jefferson Starship with your love, but there was no music playing.
Speaker 3: The music volume was turned on, but nothing played, and
Speaker 3: I wanted to believe that it was a sign from him.
Speaker 3: I believed in these types of things. But remember we
Speaker 3: hadn't spoken for three years, so there was a part
Speaker 3: of me that was thinking, why would he still be
Speaker 3: connected with me? Even though I still had thought about
Speaker 3: him every day since I had met him, and I
Speaker 3: still cared about him, still loved him. I didn't know
Speaker 3: if he still would want to reach out to me,
Speaker 3: but I got brave and I started pushing buttons on
Speaker 3: my radio, and it didn't matter what I pushed amm
Speaker 3: SM Radio, whatever was playing on those stations would play,
Speaker 3: but the screen stayed frozen. And although I wanted to
Speaker 3: believe this, I also wanted to explore a rational explanation.
Speaker 3: So I called XM Radio and the guy explained to
Speaker 3: me that he had never heard of anything like this happening,
Speaker 3: and he offered to reset my radio, and part of
Speaker 3: me didn't want him to do that, but I really
Speaker 3: needed to know if this was real, and so I
Speaker 3: let him, and he said it would disappear in my radio,
Speaker 3: would be normal, but it didn't. It stayed stuck with
Speaker 3: them at Jefferson Starship with Your Love, even turning my
Speaker 3: car on and off to run two errands. And then
Speaker 3: when I got to my friend's house, and this was
Speaker 3: a friend who had attended every concert I'd ever watched
Speaker 3: Mark play in, he walked out, looked at the screen,
Speaker 3: waved at the radio, and said high Mark. And when
Speaker 3: I came out from my lunch, the radio was back
Speaker 3: to normal, and that was the first of the signs.
Speaker 3: And because it was so significant, you know, you think
Speaker 3: you're going to remember things forever. But I was also
Speaker 3: wanted to preserve it. And I wasn't a journaler, but
Speaker 3: I got a notebook and I wrote down the details
Speaker 3: of this sign, and then as I began to get
Speaker 3: more and more signs, I would immediately the same day
Speaker 3: I got them, write them down so that I could
Speaker 3: preserve them, so that I wouldn't falsely remember them later
Speaker 3: or forget them, you know, completely, because after you're inundated
Speaker 3: with lots and lots of signs, it's hard to keep
Speaker 3: them straight unless you've written them down.
Speaker 2: At this point, Lorie, almost twelve years later, what would
Speaker 2: you say is happening?
Speaker 3: Well, I think that when our loved ones die, they
Speaker 3: love us. They're absolutely connected to us. Any thought you've
Speaker 3: ever had, they can hear it, because they're in an
Speaker 3: energy form now and they do not have the limitations
Speaker 3: that we have here on earth, and so they can
Speaker 3: reach us through all kinds of different means, through electronics,
Speaker 3: through sending us a billboard or a license plate. Some
Speaker 3: people will find feathers or coins. Some people will here's
Speaker 3: something that just reminds them of their loved one. Some
Speaker 3: people see animals or birds or insects like butterflies and dragonflies,
Speaker 3: And I feel like the loved ones on the other
Speaker 3: side want to get our attention, and they pull out
Speaker 3: all the strings to do that, and all we have
Speaker 3: to do is the open and listen and watch, and
Speaker 3: that's when they'll send you messages that are irrefutable that
Speaker 3: it's actually them.
Speaker 2: As this episode with Mark changed your views about the other.
Speaker 3: Side, while I was already on a spiritual journey, I
Speaker 3: think what this did for me is it deepened the
Speaker 3: things that I already had. It's one thing to read
Speaker 3: about these things. You know, mediums will have books and
Speaker 3: they'll talk about this. People will, you know, write books,
Speaker 3: have stories you can read about in your death experiences
Speaker 3: where people have had these interactions with spirit guides and
Speaker 3: spirit teens and past away loved ones on the other side.
Speaker 3: But it's something completely different when it happens to you,
Speaker 3: and it happens in a way that maybe it's not
Speaker 3: just it's one thing, but it's two or three things
Speaker 3: at the same time, so that you can't just slough
Speaker 3: it off as coincidence, and so yes, I would say
Speaker 3: that this definitely changed me and sent me on a
Speaker 3: trajectory that really changed everything about the way my life
Speaker 3: is now compared to how it was before he died.
Speaker 2: Those who are skeptical about the story or about the
Speaker 2: other side in general, what would you say.
Speaker 3: To them, Well, I don't think it's for me to
Speaker 3: convince anybody about something. I think that for people that
Speaker 3: are skeptical, they have to look at what feels right
Speaker 3: for them, and maybe not look at it from a
Speaker 3: perspective of the mind, but maybe think into a heart
Speaker 3: space and see how their heart feels when things like
Speaker 3: this happen, and when they hear about things stories like this,
Speaker 3: experiences like this that they haven't had. And then if
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel right, push it away. Maybe you'll come
Speaker 3: back to it later, maybe you never will, but be
Speaker 3: open because there are so many things that happen, and
Speaker 3: the more open you become, the more you ask, the
Speaker 3: more that you'll start to see things around you that
Speaker 3: help you to decide whether something like this is real
Speaker 3: or not.
Speaker 2: Does he come to you in your dreams as well?
Speaker 3: So he has actually come to me only twice in
Speaker 3: the dreams and the first dream I had of him
Speaker 3: was so real that I can visibly see it in
Speaker 3: my mind now, even though it happened in twenty twelve,
Speaker 3: and it didn't feel like a dream. It felt like
Speaker 3: a visitation. And in that dream, I actually hugged him,
Speaker 3: and it didn't feel like a dream hug would feel.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of us can relate to what
Speaker 3: it feels like when you're in a dream. It actually
Speaker 3: felt like a physical hug. But probably the most significant
Speaker 3: dream I had wasn't one that he was in it.
Speaker 3: It was one where I was given information about him
Speaker 3: that I could not have possibly known that I was
Speaker 3: able to collaborate with his mom.
Speaker 2: Were there other signs, Glorie, that convinces you about what
Speaker 2: the other side is beyond Mark?
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean I've had fines from my passaway grandfather.
Speaker 3: I had a really cool thing that happened with him.
Speaker 3: He had given me one thing when he died. He
Speaker 3: left me this hope chest, and it was pretty beat
Speaker 3: up because it was built back in the early nineteen hundred.
Speaker 2: It was old.
Speaker 3: It was really old, one of the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 3: And one day I was baking cookies and I had
Speaker 3: a thought about it, and I had relegated it to
Speaker 3: my closet because it wasn't very attractive, it didn't really match.
Speaker 3: And I looked at it and I had this whole
Speaker 3: epiphany that I could probably refinish it, and so I
Speaker 3: decided I was going to refinish it, and I went
Speaker 3: back to baking the cookies, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: I realized that that date was his birthday. I had
Speaker 3: really never paid much attention to the date of his birth.
Speaker 3: We had really recognized more than date that he died.
Speaker 3: That was a lot more memorable for me, even the
Speaker 3: day he was born. So it was really really shocked
Speaker 3: that I had this thought, and I ultimately did refinish
Speaker 3: it in his honor, and I felt like he was
Speaker 3: encouraging me. And now it's proudly in a place where
Speaker 3: I get to see it every day. It's not in
Speaker 3: the closet anymore.
Speaker 2: Of all the signs that Mark has sent you, which
Speaker 2: is the one that really stands out, Oh my.
Speaker 3: Goodness, he has sent me so many, I think the one.
Speaker 3: There are a lot that have a lot of detail
Speaker 3: that take a long time to describe that I talk
Speaker 3: about in the book, But I'm going to share a
Speaker 3: series of three things that happened that were so interconnected
Speaker 3: that I cannot deny that it was him, so because
Speaker 3: Mark and I were connected through music. About two months
Speaker 3: after he died, I went to my first concert and
Speaker 3: as I was leaving the concert, we were driving home.
Speaker 3: I was with my husband. He was My husband was driving.
Speaker 3: That meant he was in control of where we were
Speaker 3: going and the radio, and all of a sudden, I
Speaker 3: was just talking to Mark in my head and asking
Speaker 3: him if he would have attended this concert with me.
Speaker 3: And we stopped behind the car in front of us,
Speaker 3: and the car license plate said soulmates, s ol mate.
Speaker 3: It was an Illinois plate, and I was shocked. I
Speaker 3: took a picture of it, and I began asking him
Speaker 3: is this you? Did you send this to me? And
Speaker 3: very quickly the car pulled away. Now, if I had
Speaker 3: been driving, I would have been tempted to stay behind
Speaker 3: that car for as long as I could, But I
Speaker 3: wasn't driving. Somebody else was, and the radio station was
Speaker 3: also under his control. And then and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: as I'm talking to Mark in my head asking him
Speaker 3: with a few as it's you, I looked up and
Speaker 3: as the radio began playing Jefferson Starships with Your Love Again,
Speaker 3: which was also that fine he sent me on this
Speaker 3: fourth day after he died. I looked up and that
Speaker 3: license plate was in front of me again. And if
Speaker 3: that wasn't enough, fast forward to twenty nineteen, my sister
Speaker 3: was visiting, and even though my sister knows all my
Speaker 3: stories and had read my book, we were driving to
Speaker 3: a concert and I was reminiscing about that first time
Speaker 3: when I had gotten this license plate that said Soulmate,
Speaker 3: and I am not kidding. Less than one minute after
Speaker 3: I finished telling the story, I looked up in the
Speaker 3: car in front of me in Arizona had a license
Speaker 3: plate that said Soulmate, but it was felled differently. It
Speaker 3: was felled s oul m eight. I don't know who
Speaker 3: in the world gets the opportunity to be behind two
Speaker 3: cars in two different states, with two different descriptions of soulmates,
Speaker 3: and in the right timing to be able to see
Speaker 3: a license plate, and especially when I just had finished
Speaker 3: telling the story and I just asked Mark if he
Speaker 3: was with me in a starship song plate. So when
Speaker 3: those things happen and it's two or three different signs
Speaker 3: at the same time, I think it's impossible for me
Speaker 3: to just ignore it. It is definitely they're pulling out
Speaker 3: the stops to really get your attention and make sure
Speaker 3: that you know. It is absolutely them communicating with you,
Speaker 3: letting you know that they're there.
Speaker 2: Now. Were you're sharing some of these with your husband
Speaker 2: to be or your husband that you remarried?
Speaker 1: I as so well.
Speaker 3: So I was. I was. I had met Mark when
Speaker 3: I was married and we had decided to get a
Speaker 3: divorce after the whole situation had happened, and then we
Speaker 3: had gotten back together. So yeah, it was him. He
Speaker 3: knew about it. He knew about this. A lot of
Speaker 3: people in my life knew about the signs, and I
Speaker 3: found that as I would describe these signs and talk
Speaker 3: to more and more people about them, people would start
Speaker 3: calling me and telling me about signs that they were getting.
Speaker 3: And it's almost like my science would confirm their signs,
Speaker 3: and their signs would confirm my signs. And I feel
Speaker 3: like that's a really great way to support other people
Speaker 3: and to also make yours more real.
