Speaker 4: I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,160

Speaker 4: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. I have

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: a special guest today who had a rather unusual start

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: in believing in the afterlife. Scott Allen is a former

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: funeral director and embalmer and is now a well known

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 4: evidential medium appearing around New England. He is also a

Speaker 4: Talk Live. Scott is the author of a brand new

22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: book called In the Presence of Light, a funeral director's

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,320

Speaker 4: about Scott at his website, which is Mediumscotallan dot com.

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 4: Scott my friend, Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife.

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: Well, hello, thank you for having me. This is wonderful.

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm so happy to talk to you.

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: Now.

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 4: You had a very unusual start. Tell us a little

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: bit about you.

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: I know you're in.

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: New England, but tell us a little bit about the backstory,

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: because this is an unusual one.

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a little bit. I grew up in Massachusetts.

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: I've lived here my whole life. My grandparents owned a

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: flower shop and we would deliver to the funeral homes together.

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: And I think that was sort of a point in

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: which I realized this was the path I needed to

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: go in, and I thought that I could inject a

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: little more compassion into it than I thought I was seeing.

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: And that wasn't entirely accurate. I was a young mind

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: that didn't quite have life experience yet to understand. You

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: can't walk around with grief everybody else's grief all the time.

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: But I think I was experiencing this empathy, this empathic

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: side that I didn't even know what it was. It

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: wasn't a name for it back then. That's what started

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: me in the funeral business. And so I got in

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: and started mowing lawns when I was just sixteen years old.

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: And one thing led to another. I went to college,

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: and I went to funeral service school, and you know,

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: when all was said and done, I owned three funeral

52
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: homes and had been on the Massachusetts Board of Directors

53
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: for the mass Funeral Directors Association. But all of this

54
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: other stuff was starting to happen. I was noticing when

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: I was at the funeral home. Then I was aware

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: of spirit. And as I look back on my life,

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: I can see that it was like that right from

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: the beginning, but I didn't recognize it and I did

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: not know what it was. And then when I got out,

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: that's when things started to really ramp up a little bit.

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: But that's how I got into the funeral business, and

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: I did it for quite a long time.

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: How long were you in it?

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: Thirty five years before I got out, so now it

65
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: has been over forty.

66
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: Years, thank goodness. Now this is kind of a weird question,

67
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: but I love people, I love life, but there's something

68
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: about the dead bodies, whether it's animals or humans that

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: I think many of us human beings can't get our

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: heads around how someone could work in that field, even

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: though we're grateful that you do. But was that easy

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: for you to just go into that? Did you just

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: care about people knowing that there's still people?

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: I had sort of convinced myself that I would learn

75
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: to deal with that part of it as long as

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: it meant that I could care for the living. That

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: was the thing. I was there for the living, and

78
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: because that was the primary concern, I would learn to

79
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: do whatever else I had to do to do it.

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't that I wanted anything to do with the deceased.

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: It was just that's part of the johop. It just

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: goes with the territory. And so I remember feeling that,

83
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: testing the waters a little bit and seeing that. I

84
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: felt I was a little in over my head at first,

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: but over time I got used to that because the

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 3: rest of it was my purpose.

87
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: That makes sense. You care about people. I've seen enough

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: on TV and those who work in funeral homes or

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: very loving to the bodies. There's still people. The lady

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 4: who does my hair, her and her sister, both hairdressers.

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: In the evening, they'll go to the funeral home. And

92
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: they said they talked to the people and they do

93
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 4: their hair and want them to look the best, and

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: they believe in the afterlife. So it's nice. It's a

95
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: nice tribute. You mentioned, Scott that you started feeling more

96
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: being kind of open to the afterlife. What kind of

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 4: experiences did you start having that you started looking okay,

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 4: there's something more here getting into mediumship. Tell us about

99
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 4: that journey.

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: I can go back to the point. I was about

101
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: seventeen years old, and I remember we had gotten a

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: call that someone had passed unexpectedly and it was an

103
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: unattended death, and the police had called and asked us

104
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: to go to the place where they were waiting, and

105
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: I remember asking the man that I work for, how

106
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: do they know he's dead? How do they know he's gone?

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: And he just sort of brushed me off. I said,

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: just I mean, I don't know, it's not my part

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: of the job. Just go. But I couldn't get it

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: out of my head. And finally he was pulling the

111
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: car out of the garage and as I was walking

112
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: over to get in the car. The phone rang and

113
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: it was the police and they said, don't come. We

114
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: found a breath in him, so he was alive still.

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: And it was this thing that I had been focusing on.

116
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: That's probably one of the earliest recollections, and that was

117
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: quite a few years ago, and I didn't chalk it

118
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: up to being psychic at all. As time went on,

119
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: I remember just knowing that they were around me, and

120
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: that's something that's really hard to explain to someone who

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: doesn't have this ability. But I could feel them. I

122
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: knew how tall they were, how short they were. I

123
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: could hear them coming up and down the stairs. And

124
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: I still wasn't thinking, my gosh, I must be a medium.

125
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: I thought, this place is haunted. This is crazy, because

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: I had built the place from the ground up. I

127
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 3: learned over time that it wasn't the properties that were haunted.

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: It was me that was bringing them through. And that

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: took me a while to kind of figure out. But

130
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: they were there, and I started to notice little things

131
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 3: like that I would catch people out of the corner

132
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: of my eye. I would think about someone and I'd

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 3: get a call the next day that they had passed away.

134
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: There were a lot of different things like that, but

135
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: the big ones were just knowing they were there and

136
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: being able to actually feel them, the electricity around them,

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: and to know that they were around and walking, like

138
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: I said, down the hallways, up and down the stairs.

139
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'd smell sense perfumes, colognes. I'm alone. There's no

140
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: way I should be smelling that right now. So those

141
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: are the kinds of things that started to happen, and

142
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: to be honest, it was a little frightening for a while.

143
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: It's funny because when I got out of the funeral business,

144
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: that's when things ramped up. And I really wasn't thinking,

145
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: oh my, I must be a medium. I'm thinking, what

146
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: is this? Why do I have this attachment to me?

147
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 3: Why is this spirit after me? And so I would

148
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: go and I reached out to a paranormal group hoping

149
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: they would be able to help me, and they couldn't, obviously,

150
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 3: but they did seem to think that it was me

151
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: and not the location, which made me not feel any better.

152
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: I have to be honest with you, that was not

153
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: something that made me feel good. I wanted to know

154
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: that it was just something but not me, you know,

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: anything but me, because I didn't know how I would

156
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: get rid of it, how I would stop it if

157
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: it was me.

158
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Scott, did you ever know anything about the person,

159
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: whether you're embalming them or being a funeral director for

160
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: the families that maybe you shouldn't have known and just

161
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: knew something about the person.

162
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: That's a good question, and I don't know if I

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 3: can answer that. I guess the answer is I'm not sure.

164
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: And the reason is number one. I wasn't thinking that

165
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: I had any kind of ability at all. But I

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: also knew we were in a small town, so I

167
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: knew a lot of the people that came through. So

168
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 3: sometimes I already did know things. I knew their family,

169
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: but not always. There were moments that I would say,

170
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: more than anything, it was this kind of empathic like,

171
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: why do I feel this? Whatever this is? You know,

172
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: why do I feel like this? I don't know that

173
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: I was getting, you know, memories or thoughts or anything

174
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: about them, but I could have been. It's been has

175
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: been such a long time. I don't remember that specifically.

176
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: That's no problem. After I'd taken a couple of medium

177
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: classes myself, and not that I'm a practicing medium, but

178
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: I remember this woman made a delicious fish recipe and

179
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: she had told me that her mom had passed and

180
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: her adopted mom. Both of them loved to cook. And

181
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 4: I said, oh, which one taught you the fish recipe?

182
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: Was it Doris or Edna? And she looked at me

183
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: like that stone cold face, and she says, I never

184
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: told you their names, right, so that it gives me

185
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: goosebumps to this day. You know, I do think we

186
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: are all mediumistic, but do we train ourselves? Do we

187
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 4: tap into it? So that leads me to the next question.

188
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: How did you make the from funeral director owning the

189
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 4: businesses and get into mediumship? You said you started off

190
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 4: with paranormal, but at some point you took medium classes

191
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: and said, hey, this is what I want to do.

192
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: Well. I had meta medium along the way, and when

193
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: nobody could help me, I reached out to her and

194
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: I said, listen, I don't know what's going on. I

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: have this spirit after me. I hope you can help me.

196
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: And she's the one that told me I was a medium.

197
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: And I thought, oh God, there's no chance I'm a

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: large There's no way I'm a medium. But you know,

199
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: I mean I joke about it, but I really didn't

200
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: believe her. It took a long time for me to

201
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: wrap my head around it. And she introduced me to

202
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: someone who is a medium and a shaman, and her

203
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: thing was helping people open up and control it, because

204
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: I definitely needed to have help controlling it. And even

205
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: then I was humoring her, but she told me, I

206
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: want you to just practice, like just say, humor me.

207
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: You know, have friends of friends you don't know, and

208
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: just sit with them and tell them what you get

209
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: and see what they understand. So I was sort of

210
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: humoring her. I really was. I told friends about this

211
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: and that they thought it was funny. They didn't believe

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: it either, but they would bring their friends over and

213
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: I'm coming up with names and you know, all kinds

214
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: of things. And it got to the point where they

215
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: were then telling their friends, and their friends were telling

216
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: their friends. So now I'm like doing readings all the time.

217
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 3: I don't have time for this. I still have a job,

218
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: you know, I still had to work, and so I thought,

219
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: maybe there is something to this. So I decided I

220
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: would take some classes, and I did, and I ended

221
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: up taking the first one that I could get, which

222
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: was actually an advanced Mediumship class, and I thought, I

223
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm going to be able to keep

224
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: up with some of these people, but ironically I did,

225
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: and I was reading some of the people there and

226
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: getting names, and I thought that, you know, this is

227
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: just not something I'm used to. So I took a

228
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: few more classes and studied with somebody in New Jersey,

229
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: studied with Joe Shield from Journey Within in Palmpton Lakes,

230
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: and did some online work and some development circles, and

231
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: I started to believe that it was real. But it

232
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: took a long time. We're talking a few years before

233
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: I really was willing to accept it. Because when you're

234
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: a funeral director, you don't talk to the dead people,

235
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: they'll run you out of town. I always say you

236
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: can join the Lions Club, but that's about as it gets.

237
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: You know.

238
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 3: You don't get into anything else beyond that, you know.

239
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: So I didn't know what was happening. I mean, once

240
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: I learned it, I said, okay, I think the thing

241
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: that kind of resonated with me is that when everybody

242
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: was getting their friends to call me, I thought there's

243
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: got to be something to this at that point, and

244
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: then I had to learn to trust it.

245
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere. There's more of my interview with medium

246
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 4: Scott Allen when we get back. You're listening to Shades

253

Speaker 6: Thanks for being here.

254
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Now let's get back to more with Sandra.

255
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain

256
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: and we're here with medium Scott Allen, author of the

257
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 4: new book In the Presence of Light, a funeral director's

258
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: journey from morning to mediumship. Scott, you were just talking

259
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: about once you learned mediumship.

260
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: Once I learned it, I said, okay, I think the

261
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: thing that kind of resonated with me is that when

262
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: everybody was getting their friends to call me, I said,

263
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: there's got to be something to this at that point,

264
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: and then I had to learn to trust it.

265
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: Well, that's it, trust and have confidence, because with every

266
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: medium reading is it me Is it my thoughts and

267
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: feelings and memories or is it them? And so mediums

268
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 4: are really out in most skinny branches, trusting what they're

269
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: getting is for the other person.

270
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And that's why I don't want to know anything

271
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: going into a reading, because I have a hard time

272
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: understanding what's mine and what they give to me. So

273
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: if I know too much, I can't read you to

274
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: kind of go in cold, and then I can be

275
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: a little more objective.

276
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: That makes sense, Scott, What is it like for you

277
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: as a medium? Do you feel? Do you see? Do

278
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: you hear? A little bit of all of the above?

279
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: A little bit of everything I hear occasionally, it's funny.

280
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: The only one that I can honestly say I don't

281
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: get a lot of is the hearing. But when I do,

282
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: I trust it because it's so right on. I had

283
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: a reading this weekend. I was in Naples, Florida, doing

284
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: an event. I was sitting with this woman and I

285
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: don't remember who was coming through, it's not important, but

286
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: she said, I wonder if there's anybody else here besides

287
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: this person in my head? Said anybody else with you?

288
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: And I heard the name George. I went, oh, George

289
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: is here, she would, Oh my god, that's my father.

290
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 5: You know.

291
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: It's bizarre, but that happens not all the time. Lately

292
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: it's been happening a little more than it used to.

293
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: But I see, I'm very visual, clairvoyant, clear cognizant. You

294
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: just kind of know. And the sentient is pretty strong too.

295
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: And that can mean both physically clear sentient like physical feelings,

296
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: but it can also be emotional. And that's another one.

297
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: You know, how do you describe, well, I feel proud,

298
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: or I feel love, or I feel whatever it is,

299
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: And how do you feel that for some buddy or

300
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: something that you don't even know, that you've never met.

301
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: It's like it's not yours. They're giving it to you.

302
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: And correct me if I'm wrong, But you experience it

303
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: like you're in their shoes, Like you could be talking

304
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: to someone that you've never met, like you said, and

305
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: feel tremendous love for them or whatever that is. Is

306
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: that how it occurs for you, like you're in there

307
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: it is.

308
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of odd. And not to make it sound

309
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: creepy because I bring it on. Oh I know, but

310
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: you know, I do a lot of readings by zoom

311
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: I read for people all over the place. So if

312
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here, there have been times I've said to people,

313
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: my god, I feel like your dad is right here

314
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: and I just want to reach through the computer and

315
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: give you a big hug. And he's telling me that

316
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: he wasn't a hugger. He wasn't even an I love

317
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: you guy. But he's learning from that, and they, oh,

318
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: my god, he never was a hugger. It was like

319
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: to beg him to give you a hug because he's

320
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: doing it now, you know he really knows that, and

321
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: you just feel it. I don't know how to explain that.

322
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: It's like sitting in a warm bath and you're just

323
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: sort of encased in it. I don't know how else

324
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: to describe it.

325
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 4: That's okay. That's why I always recommend people take a

326
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 4: course in their psychic and medium abilities. You don't ever

327
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: have to go on and be a medium, but just

328
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 4: to know how the spirit world works with us, well.

329
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: It's difficult for everybody, don't you think. I think I do.

330
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 3: I think it's different from person to person.

331
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, But just knowing how your soul works

332
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: and getting that little taste of knowing something you shouldn't

333
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: know or about people. It takes us from a hoping

334
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: that there's an afterlife and a faith to really knowing,

335
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: because sometimes those images or feelings they give you have

336
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: these holy cownt moments like I couldn't possibly know that

337
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 4: I couldn't possibly have guessed. So would you tell us

338
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 4: some stories? I know the books just come out in

339
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: the presence of light. I'm so proud of you for

340
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 4: doing that, for creating it. Tell us some of the stories.

341
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 4: You know that most of our audience here today has

342
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 4: a loved one who has passed. Looking for that evidence

343
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: that we go on.

344
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: Well part of the book. I do share some experiences,

345
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: and they're not long. There's short, little experiences that I've

346
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: had readings, and you know, the names and places have

347
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: been changed, as they say, to protect the innocent. But

348
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: I'd love to share one with you that I think

349
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 3: was kind of cute, and if you don't mind, I'll

350
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: just read it to you. It's not terribly long, sounds great.

351
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: As a psychic medium, I've had the privilege of witnessing

352
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: countless poignant and heartwarming moments, but none quite like the

353
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: one I shared with a man named James. He came

354
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: to me seeking a connection with his mother, who had

355
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 3: passed away three years earlier. It was a quiet longing

356
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: in his eyes, the kind that only comes from missing

357
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: someone deeply. I felt her presence almost immediately. She emitted

358
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 3: a warm, loving energy that wrapped around us like a

359
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: familiar embrace. Your mother wants you to know that she

360
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 3: loves you very much, I began, my voice, soft but steady.

361
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: She wants to thank you for keeping her at home

362
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: with you until the end, she says, she heard you

363
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: when you spoke to her, And thank you for playing Elvis.

364
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: A flicker of recognition crossed James's face, and his eyes

365
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: welled up with a mix of relief and sadness. Thank you,

366
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 3: he uttered. Then, with a bittersweet smile, he added, you know,

367
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 3: I played Elvis on the radio for her the day

368
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: she passed. She loved his music. Was one of the

369
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: last things we shared. As we let the moment settle,

370
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: I felt a sudden shift in the energy around us. Then,

371
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 3: like the soft tinkling of a bell, I heard gentle laughter,

372
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: light and playful, a sound so pure it lifted the

373
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: heavens from the room. She's laughing, I said, my own

374
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: smile widening at the unexpected delight. She said, there's something

375
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: you all forgot, something about her pantyhose. You forgot to

376
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: put them on her. She always wore her pantyhose. James

377
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: looked puzzled, furrowing his brow. Pantyhose, he repeated, slowly searching

378
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: his memory. I don't remember anything about that, yes, I confirmed,

379
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: feeling the insistence from his mother's spirit. She's quite adamant

380
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: about it, and she finds it really amusing that it

381
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: was overlooked. Still looking doubtful, James shook his head. I

382
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: don't know about that, but I'll call my cousin. He

383
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 3: was one of the pallbearers. Maybe he'll remember something with that.

384
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: He stepped outside to make the call. I waited, feeling

385
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: the loving, playful presence of his mother lingering. Her laughter

386
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 3: was an affirmation of contentment, as if she knew the

387
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: surprise that was about twentyfold. A few minutes later, James returned,

388
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: his face a mixture of disbelief and amazement. You won't

389
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: believe this, he said, sinking back into his chair, still

390
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: processing what he had just learned. I called my cousin,

391
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: and he said. When they closed the casket. Before we

392
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: left for the cemetery, they opened the bottom section to

393
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: lower the bed, and that's when the pall bearers noticed

394
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 3: she didn't have any pantyhose or socks on. Her legs

395
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: were bare, but they didn't think it was a big deal,

396
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: so they didn't mention it to anyone. Ironically, my mother

397
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 3: didn't go anywhere with her pantyhose. We sat there in

398
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: silence for a moment, absorbing the weight of this revelation.

399
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: It was as if the room had stilled in reverence

400
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: to what had just been shared. That's incredible, James finally said,

401
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 3: his voice hushed with awe. It's like she knew exactly

402
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 3: what happened even after she was gone. I nodded, a

403
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: deep sense of connections settling in the room. It's a

404
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: reminder that the spirit remains aware of what happens in

405
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: this world long after they've left it. Your mother wanted

406
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: to share this with you, to know that she's still

407
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: with you, aware of the details of your life, even

408
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: finding humor in them. And you know, I find that

409
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: a lot in readings is that people will come through

410
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: and share moments that you or the sinner has experienced

411
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: since the passing of the person that's here. It's really

412
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 3: about the continuity of consciousness, I think, And in this

413
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: particular case, you might say, well, that's not such a

414
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: big deal, and it's not. But it's something amusing for

415
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 3: the woman who never left home without her pantios and

416
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: then she didn't have them, and to chuckle about it

417
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: and to let them know that they've forgotten, not in

418
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 3: a way that was accusatory or mean, but in a

419
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: way that they could understand that she was still very

420
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: much aware of what was happening even after she passed.

421
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: That's what's so magical and so beautiful about what we do.

422
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 4: That story is priceless because so often you can get

423
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: a generic medium reading you know this as well as

424
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: I do. To have those specifics and to feel her presence,

425
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 4: I was filled with goosebumps when you talked about the

426
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 4: panty hose, and of course Elvis too. Those are those

427
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 4: little things that no one can know, and they let

428
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 4: you know I'm still here and talk about your belief

429
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: about the hereafter. Clearly we still have our personalities.

430
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: Yes, yes we do. I think when we cross it's

431
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: more of an a awareness of what our personalities were

432
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 3: when they were here, and how everything we did had

433
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: a ripple effect, good and bad. The things we did

434
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: that helped people, the things we said that may have

435
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: hurt people. That doesn't mean that's how we are, but

436
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: it is what is familiar to us. And I really

437
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: believe that. You know, we talk about a judgment and

438
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 3: people have their views about what that judgment really is.

439
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: I think we judge ourselves more harshly than anyone else

440
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: would judge us, and it's because we have that awareness.

441
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: But the sense of humor stays, the quick wit will stay.

442
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes there's colorful language and that will stay. And it's

443
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: just meant to help the person that's sitting with us

444
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: know that we really have the right person. I mean,

445
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: let's face it. If you had someone came in that

446
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 3: used four letter words all the time and then they

447
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: come to looking like mother Teresa, you're probably not going

448
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: to recognize. The pact may give you. Something that's going

449
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: to remind you.

450
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 4: Is your book filled with stories? Tell us what's in it?

451
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: There are stories, there's a lot of stories, but it's

452
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 3: really one chronological story from the time I was a

453
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: little boy growing up. My friend John and there's a

454
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: story about him in there and how he passed. And

455
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a ghost story because that's

456
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: what it turned out to be at one point, as

457
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 3: I was figuring out what all of this stuff was about,

458
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: and then moving beyond that and working with Spirit and

459
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 3: meeting actress Forbes Riley, who if people don't know who

460
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 3: she is, she's been on the Hallmark Channel, she's been

461
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: quite a few different movies, but she's also was one

462
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: of the top hosts on QBC and Home Shopping Network.

463
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 3: She saw millions of dollars worth of stuff, and I

464
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: had an opportunity to meet her and read for her

465
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: on the air, and that sort of propelled things, and

466
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: I started reading for people in Alaska and Canada and

467
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: England and where that's in there. So it is a

468
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 3: lot of little stories, but it's one big story. I

469
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: feel like some of this, too, was channeled. There are

470
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: readings that I did when I was delivering messages to people,

471
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: but I also wrote a poem at the beginning and

472
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 3: a poem at the end, and it's not a book

473
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: of poetry at all. There's only two, but I really

474
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: feel like they were channeled. One is about being exactly

475
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: where you're supposed to be even though you don't see

476
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: it at the time, because we've all had those moments

477
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: that are difficult, right, I call them desert periods. And

478
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: then the other is waking up a new light in

479
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 3: the presence of light, because you are now exactly where

480
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be.

481
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 4: There are some very wise and warm words coming from

482
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: you today, Scott. It is time for our break, So

483
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: when we get back, we'll talk more and perhaps even

484
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: hear those poems. We'll be right back. You're listening to

485
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast,

486
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: a paranormal podcast network.

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: Stay right there, there's more Sandra coming right out, the

488
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: best afterlife information you can get.

489
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: Well, you're alarm.

490
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: Shades of the Afterlife with Sandra Champlain.

491
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 5: Hey everyone, it's producer Tom of Coast to Coast AM

492
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: and more Sandra starts right now.

493
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain

494
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 4: and we're here with medium Scott Allen, and he just

495
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: said within the pages of his book In the Presence

496
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 4: of Light, he's got two poems.

497
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 3: One is about being exactly where you're supposed to be,

498
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: even though you don't see it at the time, because

499
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 3: we've all had those moments that are difficult, right, I

500
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 3: call them desert periods. And then the other is waking

501
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: up a new light in the presence of light, because

502
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: you are now exactly where you're supposed to be and

503
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: everywhere in between. In that book is this story of

504
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: transformation and change, and I think a lot of people

505
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 3: can resonate with this. May not be the stories of

506
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: the same, but we've all had moments where we've thought,

507
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 3: why is this happening to me? And you realize later

508
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: on that it was all meant for a reason.

509
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you in the toughest times that

510
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 4: we can make no sense out of a couple of

511
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 4: years down the road looking back, and you say, oh

512
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 4: my gosh, this is what I learned. And the next

513
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 4: thing you know, you're sitting next to somebody on an airplane.

514
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: These are my stories, and I realize I'm just where

515
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 4: I need to be at the time. Because I'd not

516
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 4: gone through that, I could never have this conversation and

517
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: I could never make a difference. So trust the process.

518
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: Can I read you a short little poem there? Yes,

519
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: And this is one of those I really feel like

520
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: it's channeled. It's the first poem in the book, and

521
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: it's called the Passing of Time. It says time moves quietly,

522
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 3: almost unnoticed, carrying us forward. Days slip through our hands

523
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: like leaves in a breeze, with moments collecting in the

524
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: corners of our memory. We watch ourselves change, evolving with

525
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: every passing year. The laughter, the heartache, the moments of stillness.

526
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: Each one shapes us that we don't always see it.

527
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: With every ending, there is a sense of loss, a

528
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: quiet letting go of who we were, of the familiar,

529
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: the comfortable. But in that letting go, there is also

530
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: space space for something new to emerge. A new chapter begins,

531
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: quietly at first, but filled with possibility. We walk forward,

532
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: leaving parts of our ourselves behind. Time passes, but it

533
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: does not leave us empty. It carries us to where

534
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: we were meant to be, into the light of a

535
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: new beginning, where we find ourselves once again in a

536
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: form we never could have imagined. And that's how I

537
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: start the book, because that really is what happened. That

538
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: is my story, sort of in a nutshell, all this

539
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: stuff that I went through from the time I was

540
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: a little boy, until I discovered what mediumship was and

541
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: that I was a part of this. There were many

542
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: times I thought, why am I here? Why am I unhappy?

543
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: Why is this not where I want to be? Why

544
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: am I having to do this? And yet I can

545
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: look back now and say it was preparing me for

546
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: something I never could have imagined.

547
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 4: Beautiful words. So we should all just kind of trust

548
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 4: the process. Obviously, we need to take action towards our dreams,

549
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 4: need to be proactive, not just sit around waiting for

550
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 4: the life and universe to happen to us. But really,

551
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 4: to just get where you are is okay, and it's

552
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: part of a bigger purpose.

553
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone gets dragged along to a place

554
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: where they don't want to be, because I think that's

555
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: part of what makes this so magical and special, is

556
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: that spirit will point you in the direction, but it

557
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: will also somehow change your outlook so that it is

558
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: something that becomes your hope and dreams. I mean, I

559
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: can't imagine doing anything other than I do now, except

560
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: there was a time when I couldn't imagine ever doing

561
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: what I do now. So I think they adjust you

562
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: to go along with your purpose.

563
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: I like it, how would you recommend people stay in

564
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 4: touch with their loved ones who have passed. Do you

565
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: think they're always around us, keeping the eye on us.

566
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 4: Can we just talk to them?

567
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

568
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: I believe so. And you know, just sort of funny.

569
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: I had reading here with three sisters came up to

570
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: visit me from New Jersey and while they were in

571
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: the car, they were talking about different things that they

572
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: wanted to do, you know, whether was to I don't

573
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: even remember, take a trip, go, you know, whatever it was.

574
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: And when they got here, Mom came through and brattled

575
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: off four or five things that they had just been

576
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: talking about in the car. That is the proof that

577
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: they really are with us. I believe they are with us,

578
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: and they're not somewhere else. They're just here. All you

579
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: have to do is talk. But I think we all

580
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: have the power to be a little psychic, a little mediumistic.

581
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: I think the key is to just stop, breathe and

582
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: listen to the quiet, you know, whether it's soft music, meditate,

583
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: whatever it is that you do, stop and shut the

584
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: world off. Because they will talk to you. You just

585
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: have to ask and trust and trust. Absolutely. Trust is

586
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: such a big thing.

587
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 4: You could get a thought from a past vacation or

588
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 4: something you did together, or you laughed till you cried.

589
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: Sometimes thoughts and memories come out of nowhere and we

590
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 4: chalk it off, Oh that's just our imagination. But I

591
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 4: think those are their little calling cards. Remember when we

592
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: did this, Remember when we did that?

593
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: Right?

594
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 4: And I love those things.

595
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: It's true. It wasn't a thought in your head a

596
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: moment ago, and it's a thought now, and that's sometimes

597
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: planted there.

598
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 4: That's how they communicate beautiful words. Scott, with our time left.

599
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 4: Your website is Mediumscottallen dot com. We can find your

600
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: book there in the Presence of Light and on Amazon

601
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: and everywhere you buy books. But also you're a host

602
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 4: of two podcasts. Will you tell us a bit about

603
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 4: them and what we can find on your site?

604
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely so, Spirit Talk Live. I believe we'll be

605
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 3: sunseted this year. I think we're moving beyond that. That

606
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: is the live version of a podcast where people can

607
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: call in and talk. But I've moved on and I

608
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: think I'm constantly evolving. The Enlightened Life podcast is audio only,

609
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: but I've been able to reach professionals from all over

610
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: the world who are doing this work and it's about

611
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: empowering people to believe in the power of spirit, to

612
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: believe in themselves. So the Enlightened Life podcast is every

613
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: Thursday morning. It'll go live at five point thirty Eastern,

614
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 3: but they've been recorded ahead of time.

615
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 4: And what can people find listening to the podcasts? Is

616
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 4: it similar to finding out about the afterlife? What life

617
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: is about, tips and things for living in an empowered life,

618
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: all those sort of things.

619
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: All that kind of stuff. I mean, not everyone that

620
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: comes on as a medium, but a lot of them

621
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 3: are very much centered and connected to this world, the

622
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: world of spirituality. But we have different you know, as

623
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 3: we have a woman that's coming on that is a

624
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: real expert in taro. I've had one that came on

625
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: from Australia who somehow connects spirituality and yoga and all

626
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 3: of these other things. So it's there, you know what

627
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: I mean, They're all there. And we've had people come

628
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 3: on that have worked with people who have had near

629
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: death experiences, and so that's kind of the gist of it.

630
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: But it's not all mediums.

631
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 4: Which is good. I always like to recommend good people,

632
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: good podcasts. Now people are listening to this one, I

633
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 4: trust they like it, but there's other topics and things

634
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 4: that maybe I don't discuss that maybe you will, right,

635
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: So it's nice. So that's the Enlightened Life podcast.

636
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: Enlightened Life.

637
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: The easiest way to find them is through your website

638
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 4: Mediumscottallan dot com and Alan is a la m.

639
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: Yes, and they can also go on there and book

640
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 3: a reading with me if they want, or book me

00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: for a live event. I do travel. I just got

Speaker 3: home from Naples. I'll be in Colorado Springs in June,

643
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: and I'm kind of everywhere in between in the short term.

644
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, and also I have my show. One of

645

Speaker 3: also be on Amazon Prime Video once the entire season

648
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: is uploaded. So that's called Dark Echos, So that'll be

Speaker 3: out as well.

650
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: Dark Echoes. Okay, and now it's already out for the

651
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 4: people that are listening to this right now, you'll have

652
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: it on your site right.

653
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 3: I will put a link to it on my site.

654
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: There is a streaming service called Paraflex for people to

655
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 3: like go stuff. It won't just be there, it's going

656
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: to be on Amazon Prime Video, but only after the

657
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: full season has been released on Paraflex will they get

658
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: it on prime video?

659
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: And what's the context of the show?

660
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 3: They picked me up, dropped me down into place and

661
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: say what's here?

662
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 4: Pretty much, no kidding.

663
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, this particular episode took place in Bath, Pennsylvania, at

664
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: a restaurant called the Bath Exchange, and they've been having

665
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: some issues with spirits and a little bit of Poldergeist

666
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: activity going on there as well. And I don't know

667
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: anything going in, so they don't share anything with me.

668
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: But I went in and did a tour with the

669
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: owner and was sharing things that she was able to

670
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 3: make sense of. And it's just an interesting concept. We

671
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 3: begin filming season two next month.

672
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 4: I love it. I'm proud of you. I'm being bold

673
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 4: asking this, but could you read the poem that's in

674
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 4: the end of your book?

675
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 3: I would love to, so, Like I said, there's only

676
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 3: two and the one is.

677
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: What you said. But you'd started us off right, and

678
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 4: they had that beautiful story to the woman without the

679
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 4: pantios and Elvis, my soul.

680
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: Is telling me to ask you, okay, the one at

681
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: the end of the book, and this is how the

682
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: book closes, and it's called in the Presence of Light.

683
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 3: Just like the book, there comes a moment, after the

684
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: years of waiting, of searching, and the quiet ache that

685
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: lingers behind every choice, a moment when you step forward,

686
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 3: not because the path is clear, but because you are

687
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 3: no longer afraid the pain of the past, the weight

688
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: of all you've carried no longer holds you. It was

689
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 3: never meant to to find you. It shaped you, yes,

690
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 3: but it is not who you are. You were always

691
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 3: meant to be more, something brighter, something real, something waiting

692
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: just beneath the surface. And now, as you stand in

693
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 3: the presence of light, you see it for the first time,

694
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 3: the truth of who you are, unfiltered, unafraid, unapologetic. This

695
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 3: is not a beginning, but a return to the self

696
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 3: you've always known, to the life you were always meant

697
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: to live. The struggle fades, the questions fall away, and

698
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: you stand fully present in the light of your own becoming.

699
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 3: And that's the poem.

700
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 4: I love that well, Scott. It was fantastic talking to

701
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 4: you today. Any closing words.

702
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: For our listener, just believe in the power, spirit, and

703
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: trust because they are there with all of us. It's

704
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: not just you and I that have this ability to

705
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 3: be connected. We are all connected, I think sometimes we

706
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: just don't see it. Believe with all your heart that

707
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 3: our loved ones are still with us, but also in

708
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: a place of eyes and imaginable beauty. So just remember

709
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 3: they are okay, and you too may get that message

710
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 3: if you just open your heart to it and believe

711
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 3: beautiful words.

712
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Scott for being our guest.

713
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.

714
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: What a joy it is talk with Scott. Remember I've

715
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: told you in the past to book a medium reading

716
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: with someone who offers that ten minute guarantee. If you're

717
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: not getting your evidence within the first ten minutes, you

718
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: tell the medium the reading comes to an end and

719
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 4: you don't pay. He has that ten minute guarantee. We're

720
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 4: off to the break and when we get back, we'll

721
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 4: hear some stories that show that love is not just

722
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: with us during our life, but at the end of

723
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: our life. We'll be right back. You're listening to Shades

739
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain

740
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 4: and as we've heard from medium Scott Allen, our loved

741
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 4: ones are all around us. They continue their journey in

742
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 4: the afterlife, but they can easily keep one eye on us.

743
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: We always have monthly classes at Weedn'tdie dot com where

744
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 4: you can tap into your medium abilities, and then also

745
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: our free Sunday gathering of course, so you can see

746
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: mediums in action and maybe get a reading yourself. But

747
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 4: one of the things taught in our medium classes by

748
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 4: our great teachers Carrie McLeod and Phil dikes Is. It's

749
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 4: not about the pictures that come into your head. It's

750
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 4: more about feelings and emotions. So try this. When you're

751
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 4: talking to your loved one and you're quiet in your mind,

752
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: you're getting in that present moment and you want a

753
00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 4: sign that they're close by, pay attention to your belly.

754
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 4: Now I say belly meaning your gut, your feelings. Don't

755
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 4: look for pictures in your head. How do you feel?

756
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: And it may come right down to, oh, I'm feeling

757
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 4: a little hungry. But when you're that present through your feelings,

758
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 4: suddenly memories might come out of the blue, Joyful emotions

759
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 4: might come in. You might start seeing pictures of maybe

760
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 4: a shared memory together. It all starts in your gut.

761
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 4: You've heard of gut instinct, Well, this is gut communication.

762
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 4: So come join one of our classes sometime and you

763
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: can discover that for yourself. So, as we've heard so

764
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 4: far on this episode, our loved ones join us in life.

765
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 4: They witness what we're doing. They're part of our lives.

766
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 4: They're also part of our deaths. No one dies alone. Next,

767
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 4: I'm just going to read some short stories of people

768
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 4: who have witnessed their loved ones passing and those heavenly

769
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 4: visitors that help across the veil. The first person says,

770
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 4: when I worked for hospice, one of my patients sat

771
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 4: up in bed with a look of joy. He exclaimed

772
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 4: that they were all in the room. I asked who

773
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 4: all of my old cowboy buddies? He said he had

774
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 4: worked all of his adult life on a ranch out west.

775
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 4: He sat there in his hospice bed, reaching out his hand,

776
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 4: gripping hands in the air. He couldn't get over how

777
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 4: many of his old buddies had come. He laid back

778
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 4: with a huge, contented sigh and smiled at me and asked,

779
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 4: isn't my horse beautiful? He said quite clearly that they

780
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 4: told him they brought his horse because it was time

781
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 4: for him to ride. He closed his eyes and was

782
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 4: dead within the hour. I have never seen such a

783
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 4: beautiful passing in my life. Here's another. I took care

784
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 4: of my mom for the last three years of her life.

785
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: She had stage four pancreatic and liver cancer. She was

786
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 4: in terrible pain in her last days. On the evening

787
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 4: she passed, she raised straight up out of bed, pointed

788
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 4: toward the wall, and in a questioning voice, she said Bobby. Again,

789
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 4: she said Bobby. Then in a more relaxed, excited voice,

790
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 4: she said Bobby. Bobby was my father, who passed away

791
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty one. Next, my great grandmother said before

792
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 4: she passed that her beloved husband was standing at the

793
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 4: end of the bed waiting to take her with him.

794
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 4: He had passed eighteen months earlier. She outstretched her arms

795
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 4: and sat up with the most beautiful, radiant smile, and

796
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 4: passed away just before she fell back on the pillow,

797
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 4: still smiling with a peaceful glow about her. Next, this

798
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 4: person says, my little cousin suffered severe brain damage in

799
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 4: a car wreck when he was in high school and

800
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 4: had been completely unresponsive for fifteen years. X rays showed

801
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 4: his brain had liquefied, yet the exact moment he died,

802
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 4: he opened his eyes wide and just got the biggest

803
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 4: smile I've ever seen and let out his last breath.

804
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: He was seeing and responding to something beyond our world. Next,

805
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 4: my father was very weak and was not communicating well

806
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 4: in his final days. Just before he died, he pushed

807
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 4: aside his oxygen and spoke clearly to an unseen person

808
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 4: in his hospital room. He said, but I'm not ready.

809
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: He was silent for a moment, as if listening to

810
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 4: someone speak. Then he said, with gentleness and acceptance, okay.

811
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 4: And he was gone. Two weeks before, a close elderly

812
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 4: friend of mine passed away. She was in the hospital

813
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 4: for several days for proceed I came for a hospital

814
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: visit and she was crying when I entered the room.

815
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 4: She had seen her late brother in law standing by

816
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 4: her bed, smiling at her. She was taking no pain meds,

817
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 4: and she was in a very sound, clear state of mind.

818
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 4: She insisted that he had been there. She saw him

819
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 4: as clearly as she saw me. She was so happy

820
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 4: and was convinced he had visited to comfort her in

821
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: her last days. She passed away about twelve days later,

822
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 4: absolutely resolute that she was going to be greeted by

823
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 4: family when she crossed over. Next, I worked for hospice.

824
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: My best was Harry, a stroke victim who saw his

825
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 4: late sister Bernice, standing at a gate at the foot

826
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 4: of his bed. Oddly, during that time, his wife, he

827
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 4: called her Mommy, came down with pneumonia and died suddenly herself. Afterwards,

828
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 4: he would say, today, Mommy is standing with Bernice at

829
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 4: the gate. He joined them shortly afterwards. When my own

830
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 4: mother passed, a snow had fallen the night before. At

831
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 4: the moment she passed, on a windless day, a snow

832
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 4: covered shrub outside of her window rattled and shook off

833
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 4: its snow cap. I believe it was her soul flying

834
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 4: through the window. Here's another A close friend's grandmother was

835
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 4: basically comatose for about two days prior to her death.

836
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 4: Suddenly she sat up, put her arms out and said, Mama, Mama.

837
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 4: She went back down and that was it. She passed

838
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 4: right then. Another says my mom was home in hospice

839
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 4: and one night she looked up at the ceiling and said, look, look,

840
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 4: they're all waiting for me. She named my late brother

841
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 4: and some other folks who had died next. I have

842
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 4: worked in healthcare for over forty years, including a few

843
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 4: years as a nurse in hospice. I can honestly say

844
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 4: we see our loved ones before we die. I think

845
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 4: the most beautiful example I witnessed was a dying man

846
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 4: who broke out a huge smile and began waving and said,

847
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see you. I asked who he

848
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 4: was waving and talking to, and he said my baby boy,

849
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 4: who died when he was just a few days old.

850
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 4: I was not surprised to hear he passed less than

851
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 4: twenty four hours later. Next my ninety six year old

852
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 4: mom recently passed. She was the most beautiful person inside

853
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 4: and out. Before she passed, she pointed to the corner

854
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 4: of the room and said her deceased mother, brother, husband

855
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 4: were all there and they want her to go with them.

856
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 4: I feel so blessed to have been able to have

857
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 4: been there to see this. She also said there were

858
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 4: two other people she didn't know. I missed my mom

859
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 4: so much, but I know she's with people she loved dearly.

860
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 4: When my grandmother passed, I was sitting by her bed

861
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 4: reading Out of the Blue. She yelled, Lovey, which was

862
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: her deceased sister. It's been a long time. I stopped

863
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 4: reading and listened to her side of the conversation. I

864
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 4: knew then she didn't have much time left. She passed

865
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 4: early the next morning. Here's another My mom passed away

866
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 4: two weeks ago. Two days before she told me that

867
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: Andy was right there beside her that was my brother

868
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 4: that died from drowning in nineteen sixty. He was only

869
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 4: six years old when he died. I believe she did

870
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 4: indeed see him. Her mind was good up until the end,

871
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: so I don't believe she was imagining that. Next, my

872
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 4: dad kept seeing a tunnel before he passed away. He

873
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 4: kept saying, I see a light, I see a tunnel.

874
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 4: He was looking at a blank wall, but smiling at

875
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 4: the time. He passed from cancer three days later. Next,

876
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 4: my sister saw my grandparents the day before she died

877
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 4: of breast cancer at only thirty six years old. She

878
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 4: was talking to them and having a conversation while our mother,

879
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 4: their daughter, and I were in the room with her. Next,

880
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 4: when my grandfather was really ill in the hospital, my

881
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 4: dad and I went to visit him. He was talking

882
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 4: to my dad when suddenly looked to the doorway and asked,

883
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 4: what are you doing here? My dad and I looked

884
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 4: at each other, confused as there was nobody at the door.

885
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 4: He turned to my dad and said, tell your sister

886
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 4: to get some rest. She's sick and doesn't need to

887
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 4: travel so far to visit me. Here's the thing we

888
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 4: hadn't told my grandfather that she passed the night before,

889
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 4: but he saw her. He too passed a few days later.

890
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 4: Here's another. My mother told me about my grandfather's unexpected death.

891
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 4: He had a massive heart attack and was barely conscious,

892
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 4: flat on his back on the living room floor. Suddenly

893
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 4: he sat straight up while looking at a blank wall

894
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 4: and sounding really surprised and happy. He said, well, hi.

895
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 4: He instantly fell back and died. Clearly he recognized someone

896
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 4: who made him happy. Here's another. I witnessed this phenomenon

897
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 4: when my mother passed away. She had a quiet conversation

898
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 4: with two deceased brothers with whom she was especially close.

899
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 4: She paused to listen to them as they spoke to her.

900
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 4: Though their voices were inaudible to me, there were subtle

901
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 4: shifts in her facial expression as they conversed. They seemed

902
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 4: to be greeting and reassuring her. She said she was

903
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 4: ready to go with them. Shortly after she passed away,

904
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 4: I felt an overwhelming presence in the room that's difficult

905
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 4: to describe, and I know they were there. And another.

906
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 4: My grandmother had been sick for years with cancer, and

907
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 4: the night before she died, she was telling everyone how

908
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 4: her four brothers were in her room that morning, and

909
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 4: they had died years earlier. She was gone the next day.

910
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 4: Next here's a different kind of story. I had major

911
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 4: heart surgery in early February twenty twenty four and coded

912
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 4: three times while I was under My paternal grandmother, who

913
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 4: had died in the sixties, was in front of a

914
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 4: gate with her arms folded in a stern look on

915
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 4: her face. She said to me, you have to go back.

916
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 4: It's not your time. You have work to do. My

917
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 4: family members think that the drugs made me crazy, but

918
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 4: I know what I saw and what I heard. I

919
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 4: will never change my story. Friends, be sure to come
