They always seem to stem 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: from something happening, and for Annette it was the death 20 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: of her mother in law. She's the author of the 21 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: book your sole focus. You believe in the afterlife, don't you. 22 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: I just love that subtitle and thought we need to 23 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: hear from Annette. Annette, Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, Sandra, thank you so much for 25 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 4: having me here. I'm very excited to be here. 26 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: Well, we are just as excited to have you with us. Annette, 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: you know your story better than anyone. If you wouldn't 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: mind sharing with us about who you are, I know 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: you have some thoughts about grief and tell us about 30 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,919 Speaker 3: the book you take the floor. 31 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 4: I live in New York and my scipline my profession 32 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 4: is a CPA and a healthcare executive, and I absolutely 33 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 4: love what I do work and career wise, it is 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 4: not a career that one would think would intersect with 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 4: sort of the spiritual side of things. That makes my book, 36 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 4: I think, all the more interesting. But what happened to 37 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 4: me is over a decade ago, after my mother in 38 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: law died, she was intent on proving to me that 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: there is an afterlife. And when she first started sending 40 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: those kinds of signs and synchronicities, I was a little 41 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: bit curious, like, what is. 42 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 5: Going on here? 43 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 4: They were actually coming a little bit more through my daughter, 44 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 4: who was thirteen at the time and very earnestly telling 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: me about, you know, dreams and things like that, and 46 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: I was just curious. 47 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 5: I had not really ever thought about the afterlife before. 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: And I was starting to tell a lot of my 49 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: friends and family about some of the happenings that were 50 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 4: curring after my mother in law died. And one of 51 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 4: my very good friends, who I had known for ten years, 52 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 4: but I guess we had never spoken about the afterlife. 53 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 5: She in a very matter of fact. 54 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: Way, she was like, well, Annette, you believe in the afterlife, 55 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 4: don't you, which is the subtitle of my book. 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 5: And I was just like, I don't know, do you? 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 4: And she was like, of course there was an afterlife, 58 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: and so that sort of opened my eyes to it 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: a little bit. I was just like, h let me 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 4: really try and understand this a little bit more. 61 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: And I just asked the quick question, did your mother 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: in law say she wanted to get through to you 63 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: before she passed or was it after that you started 64 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: getting the signs absolutely after. 65 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 5: I had no discussion prior to her passing about the 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 5: afterlife at all. 67 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: Some people they do say this is a sign I'm 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: going to give you, or this is the code word. 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: Can you share with us some of the signs that 70 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: you guys did get. That kind of kind of opened 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: your eyes to the something to this. Yeah. 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: Well, the first sign that my daughter received was a 73 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: tangible sign. 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 5: It was physical. It was pomp poms. And I thought 75 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 5: to myself, well, maybe my daughter's making. 76 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: This up and this is some type of a coping mechanism. 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 4: But she in her art class had she told me 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 4: pomp poms that just appeared on her desk. Nobody put 79 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: them there, nobody was around, and they were within less 80 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 4: than a week of us burying my mother in law. 81 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: And they were two pomp poms, the exact same lavender 82 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: and ivory colors of the balloons we let go at 83 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: the gravesite. And so when my daughter was just earnestly 84 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: telling me this story, and we really had not discussed 85 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 4: death or the afterlife in my family, but she was 86 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 4: earnestly saying, can you believe this? 87 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 5: I wonder how these pompoms appeared? And I was just 88 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 5: like looking at her like could this be real? 89 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: Like what's going on? And so so I was telling 90 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: everybody the pomp Pom story. Really and that's when my 91 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: girlfriend of ten years was like, you believe in the afterlife. 92 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 5: Don't you? 93 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: And so what happened is a series of synchronicities. But 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: I think more importantly than that, I think my mother 95 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: in law and many of my deceased relatives at that 96 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: point started very methodically proving to me, showing to me 97 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 4: that there is an afterlife. 98 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 5: So I had not really thought about. 99 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 4: It before, and I think they knew with my kind 100 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: of accounting brain, you know, I needed to be walked 101 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 4: through it. I needed to digest everything, and I wasn't 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 4: all of a sudden going to. 103 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 5: Be like, oh, of course, you know. 104 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 4: So they really were very methodical about it, which I 105 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 4: of course appreciated. What I'll tell you the thing that 106 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: happened for me and I for a lot of people, 107 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 4: they can sometimes trace how they started to understand about 108 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 4: the afterlife to one specific event. I can certainly do that, 109 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 4: because what happened was when I told my friends of 110 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: ten years the Pompom story and she said, well, you 111 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 4: believe in the afterlife, don't you. She started telling me 112 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 4: that she frequented a medium, Josephine, who was a local medium. 113 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: But as synchronicity and my deceased relatives would have it 114 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 4: that later that week, we went out, my husband, my son, 115 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 4: and my recently widowed father in law went out to 116 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 4: a local restaurant on our main street in town, and 117 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 4: while we were dining, we were placed at a table 118 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: with a very large window, and in that window was 119 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: a very large poster and it said dinner and medium 120 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: show with Josephine, the medium, who she just my girlfriend 121 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: just told me about. So I was like, well, that's 122 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 4: sort of coincidental. It was, you know, maybe in the 123 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 4: upcoming months. But I went home and I said to 124 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 4: my girlfriend do you want and another girlfriend too, do 125 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: you want to go to this show? And she was 126 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 4: like absolutely. I made the reservations Annette, party of three, 127 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 4: no other information, not for any reason, just because, you know, 128 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: and I sort of viewed it as some type of 129 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 4: magic show. 130 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 5: I was like, right, go see a magic show. Entertainment, entertainment. 131 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: As that day came upon us and the three of 132 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 4: us went there, the medium Josephine came out and I 133 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: was thinking, oh, she looks so nice to be a fraud, 134 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: I don't know. We all had our dinner and then 135 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: she the first she related to the first you know person, 136 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: and I'm thinking, how interesting. They're probably planted here and 137 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 4: they're all crying and relating to this stri she probably 138 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: knows them. And then she came right over to me 139 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: and she said to me, she came right over to 140 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: our table, and she said, I have a woman here 141 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: named Lucille. 142 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 5: Lucille is my mother's mother in law's name, so it's 143 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 5: pretty specific. And I was like frozen, could not take 144 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 5: the microphone. 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 4: My girlfriend's kicking me under the table and she is 146 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: going on about Lucille. She's got dark hair, which my 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 4: mother will basically, so she was describing my mother in 148 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: law and she's like, I think it's for someone at 149 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: this table. 150 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 5: And I froze. I could not take the microphone. 151 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 4: So someone at the table next door us said, well, 152 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: my name's Elizabeth, and they gave Elizabeth the microphone, and 153 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 4: then my mother in law, through this medium, started like 154 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: speaking about my life. Oh, I see that you're going 155 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: to Italy in a couple of months, which I had 156 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: booked Italy in a couple of months. And Elizabeth was like, no, 157 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: I came from Florida, you know. 158 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 5: So because because it was for. 159 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 4: Elizabeth, it was for me, but I was frozen anyway. 160 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 4: So the medium eventually sort of retreated back and read 161 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 4: a couple of more people, and they were all sort 162 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 4: of crying and relating to the stories. But my mother 163 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: in law was very intent. She came back again. So 164 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 4: the medium came out back over and said this woman, 165 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: Lucille is here. And so this time I had unfrozen 166 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 4: myself and raised my hand, and then she said. 167 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: The line that was just sealed the deal for me. 168 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 5: She said, Lucille is asking how Rita is. Rita's still here? Right? 169 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 5: Rita is my mother's name, And my mother and my mother. 170 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 4: In law were both diagnosed with cancer within a week 171 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 4: of each other. And when they were both and my 172 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 4: mother is still here, she made it through my mother 173 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: in law soccumb to it. But as they were both 174 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: going through their surgeries, their chemo, their radiation, each one 175 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 4: would always ask us how the other one was, how's Lucille, 176 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: How's Rita? 177 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 5: How's Lucille? How's Rita? 178 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 4: So when this medium said how's Rita. She's still here, 179 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 4: isn't she? I was like, Oh my goodness, there's just 180 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 4: no way. There's just no way. And then she also had, 181 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: you know, additional evidential information that nobody could have known, 182 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 4: and that was sort of enough to let me say, 183 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 4: all right, I'll take the reins here. I'm going to 184 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 4: take the there's something to this that I need to understand. 185 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 4: And so that's what I trace it back to. Yes, 186 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 4: there were a lot of things leading up to me 187 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 4: being open to it at that point, including the conversation 188 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 4: the pom poms and the conversation with my girlfriend prior, 189 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: but that was the thing that I always say, like 190 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 4: tripped the meter for me. It was like, Okay, this 191 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: is real. I have to understand this. Yeah, So that 192 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 4: was that was the thing that did it for me, 193 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 4: and I think a lot of people can actually trace 194 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 4: it back to a particular thing. I want to speak 195 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 4: a little bit about grief, because you had brought that up, 196 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 4: and not all love stories in the book, but grief 197 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 4: is in the book too. What I feel about grief 198 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: is I have what I think is an interesting perspective 199 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: on grief. 200 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 5: I think that grief always always pertains to us wanting 201 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 5: something that passed, not passed like crossover, but like crossed over. 202 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 4: But anything in the past. And the example I like 203 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: to give is. I have two children there in their 204 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: late twenties, mid to late twenties, and when they were two, three, 205 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 4: four five, I mean, they were those little cutie banuti's 206 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: I just you know, could like any little child. You're 207 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: just oh, they're so cute. And they don't remember those times. 208 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: I remember those times. My husband remembers those times. My 209 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 4: parents remember those times. I think those times were for me. 210 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 4: I don't think they were for them because I remember them. 211 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 4: I can watch a whole movie and be like, oh, 212 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: I remember that. My kids are like it's a little 213 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 4: foreign to them, so to me. I could actually get 214 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: lost in the grief of the fact that I will 215 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 4: never have that again. I will never have that again. 216 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 4: I would love to have those times again, they will 217 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 4: not be there. The only thing that pulls me out 218 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: of that grief is the fact that I and speak 219 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 4: to them now in their twenties, in the mid twenties. 220 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: That pulls me through the grief. But that feeling of 221 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 4: grief is as real as real gets. And my kids 222 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 4: are still alive, thank goodness. When somebody loses someone, I 223 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 4: think they feel that same intense grief, but there's nothing 224 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: to pull them out. It's very difficult to come out 225 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 4: the other side because they're not going to be able 226 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: to see and speak and hug and smile at and 227 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: see the smile of their deceased love one. 228 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 5: There's just the grief is the same, but there's nothing 229 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 5: to pull them through. 230 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: Annette, we need to take a quick break, but when 231 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: we come back, you can continue sharing about grief. It's 232 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: so important, I think to all of us not only 233 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 3: believing in the afterlife, but understanding grief. We're all going 234 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: to go through it, so let's take a break.

I'm Sandra Champlain 253 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: and we are with Annette Marnaccio, who wrote the book 254 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: with a great title Your sole focus. You believe in 255 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: the afterlife, don't you, Anette. You're just talking about how 256 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: grief is different if somebody's still alive versus if they're not. 257 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: Could you talk more about that. 258 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: Grief is the same, but there's nothing to pull them through. 259 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: And once you really are convinced, I like to say, 260 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: like people say, oh, you believe, it's I think it's 261 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 4: more than believing in my case, and people say, well, 262 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 4: you can't know. 263 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 5: Of course I can't know. 264 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: I'm here on earth, but I'm convinced that our de 265 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: ceased loved ones live on and they're really right around 266 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: the corner. I mean, they're here very close, and that 267 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: is very helpful. It doesn't allow you the same feeling 268 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: you would have knowing you would be able to sort 269 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 4: of chat with them one on one tomorrow, but they 270 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 4: are right here and they're watching over you. I like 271 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: to get this analogy, and some people have sort of 272 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: latched onto this. 273 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 5: This is how I correlate a tangible view of the 274 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 5: other side. 275 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: If you were to walk out of your front door 276 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 4: one morning and it had snowed that morning, and you just, 277 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 4: you know, open your door and you're standing on the porch, 278 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 4: and it's absolutely beautiful. Nothing has walked in the snow yet, 279 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,119 Speaker 4: nobody has walked in the snow. It's just a pristine 280 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: white snow. As far as you can see. Your mailbox 281 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: is covered, the trees are covered, it's glistening. It's just serene, white, peaceful, 282 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 4: snowy day. And then if you were to just picture 283 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 4: right outside of your view a clear acrylic sphere over 284 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: your entire thing, you can see over that entire world 285 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: for you. Your loved ones are right on the outside of 286 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 4: that clear acrylic sphere. 287 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 5: It's like you're in a snow globe and they see everything. 288 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 5: But because of Einstein's theory of relativity, you can only 289 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 5: see what you can relate to. So you can only 290 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 5: see up to that clear sphere, and you can't see 291 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 5: the next energy level or that other dimension they can see, 292 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 5: you can't. So I like to sort. 293 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 4: Of have that correlation because a lot of times people say, 294 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 4: I don't want to disturb my mother may be my 295 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: deceased mothers may be resting in peace. 296 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 5: I don't want to you know, I don't know. 297 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: If they're right here, And I'm like, oh, disturb them 298 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 4: because they want to hear from you, they want to 299 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: be involved in your life, and they will help in 300 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 4: any way they can. 301 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think any he's resting in peace. I 302 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 3: think they're living more than they possibly can't. And I 303 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 3: love the snow globe story. I've been at this game 304 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 3: for twenty five years, researching the afterlife, and people say 305 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: that there's music that our brains can't even get our 306 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: head around. There's colors that don't exist in our spectrum, 307 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: but they exist in the hereafter, So how can you 308 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: explain that If we don't have it here, how can 309 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 3: we really get it? And also, people have had near 310 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: death experiences that they experienced so much, but there's no 311 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 3: language that they can share what it is. So snow 312 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 3: Globe sounds perfect. And also I like how you describe grief. 313 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 3: It is the most painful thing any of us go through. 314 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 3: And I know when we love someone, In fact, the 315 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 3: more we love, the more it hurts. So everything you 316 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: and I and others are doing to spread the good 317 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 3: word that life goes on, and they're right here with us, 318 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 3: it doesn't help, like giving them being able to call 319 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 3: them or give them a hug, but it certainly does help. 320 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 3: It does, so tell us about your souls focus. Let's 321 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 3: let's get into the book and some of these things 322 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: that you've learned and principles you teach. 323 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 5: It's interesting because, as I had mentioned, after I. 324 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 4: Sort of learned about everything, the universe was putting me 325 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 4: in the path of people. And you know, in my work, 326 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 4: in my work day, although my work is not a 327 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 4: spiritual type of work, they're still so I'm surrounded by 328 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 4: people and I would sort of like, you know, maybe 329 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 4: be speaking to somebody, and you know, I would throw out, okay, 330 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 4: why don't we meet on you know, August fifteenth. I 331 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: think that's a good day for us to meet next. 332 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 5: And then the person's face drops and says, I can't 333 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 5: believe you just said August fifteenth. My grandfather died last. 334 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 4: To August fifteenth, and I just feel like, you know, 335 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 4: you said that for a reason, and I would be like, oh, 336 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 4: then you're absolutely right. I mean, I just picked that 337 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 4: date out of the air. It just means nothing to 338 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 4: me in my head. But obviously your grandfather is saying hello, 339 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 4: and then next thing you know, it would be they 340 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 4: would have story after story a story. 341 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 5: And my son sees this and I was like, that's 342 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 5: so cool. 343 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 4: You know, after being in the position of sort of 344 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 4: I'm being in the path of people who are either 345 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 4: grieving or curious, I realized I had to consolidate what 346 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 4: I knew into something tangible and real that was timeless. 347 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 5: I mean, the information in. 348 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 4: My book just will be long after I'm gone, it 349 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 4: still pertains. So I just needed to sort of get 350 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 4: it into some kind of form that people could appreciate. 351 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 4: I almost pictured people like getting the book and after 352 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 4: you sort of get past the fact that I learned 353 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 4: that there is an afterlife, because that in and of 354 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 4: itself a lot of people may not know. I certainly 355 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 4: didn't know, but other people may know. I also have 356 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 4: those kind of significant takeaways. I almost pictured people, and 357 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 4: I have had people tell me they sort of like 358 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 4: highlight the book with things that they feel like, oh, 359 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 4: I want to remember this, you know this pertains to 360 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 4: me or something like that. So and I think all 361 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 4: of our books that come out that have these kind 362 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: of pearls of wisdom or knowledge, knowledge or little tidbits 363 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 4: after years of research, you're sort of looking for those 364 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: tidbits that resonate with somebody so they can sort of 365 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 4: take it into their their daily life. But what happened 366 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 4: was I was, you know, became very intent on writing 367 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 4: a book, putting it into a form that is tangible 368 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: and enjoyable. And I'm a numbers person. I'm not a writer. 369 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 5: I don't read a lot either, except for you know, 370 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 5: business articles and things like that, so I'm not that 371 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 5: like kind of verbal and reading writing person. I'm really 372 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 5: like numbers. I love numbers. So after I wrote the 373 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 5: whole thing, I was like, well, I think this is 374 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: pretty good. 375 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 4: So I got up the nerve to ask three local 376 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 4: mediums with a public presence on Long Island where I 377 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 4: live in New York, to do me a favor and 378 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: read it from their perspective, because I felt like, it's okay, 379 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 4: it's good for an accounting from an accountant's perspective. But 380 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 4: I wonder if a spiritual person would also appreciate it 381 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 4: and to recommend it, if they were so inclined, And 382 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 4: they each of one of the three of them, very 383 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: different people read it and gave me a recommendation, which 384 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 4: I have in the. 385 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 5: Back of the book and I have in the inside 386 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 5: of the book. And so I was so appreciative. 387 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: But then I knew I was onto something because I 388 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 4: was like, Jesus, this works for me from my accounting 389 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 4: kind of brain, and it works from a spiritual perspective. 390 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 5: Also, I think the combination in this book is just, 391 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 5: you know, a good message for people. 392 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 4: Since I put it out and of course, you know 393 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 4: the way the universe works, I published it two days 394 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 4: before my mother in law's birthday. The first book that 395 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 4: was published has her birthday as the date that it 396 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 4: was printed, which is like, that's how. 397 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 5: The universe works, you know. So February second was a 398 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 5: first printed copy which I gave to my mother. So 399 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 5: it's like, you know, but that's how the universe works. 400 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 5: Now I sort of get it. 401 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 4: But at any rate, when I put it out there, 402 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 4: I've had such heartwarming messages from people who really appreciated it. 403 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 4: I had this woman from Oregon. Obviously I'd never know 404 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: anybody from Oregon, but she but you know, the wonders 405 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 4: of social media, she contacted me and she said, you know, 406 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 4: she had lost her adult son about a year prior, 407 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,239 Speaker 4: and she stumbled across my book and she wanted to 408 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: thank me for taking the time to write it because 409 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 4: it really helped comfort her and it shared a perspective 410 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 4: that she had not thought about prior. And I was like, oh, 411 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 4: that's that is great, and that's exactly what I wanted. 412 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: I just wanted it to, you know, help people maybe 413 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 4: see things from a perspective that they may not otherwise 414 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 4: have thought, you know, thought. 415 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 5: So that's your sole focus. You know. It has a 416 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 5: lot of, like. 417 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 4: I said, personal stories and antidotes, but only enough to 418 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 4: get my points across. 419 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 5: And of course the number one point is yes, there's 420 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 5: an afterlife. 421 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: But I also speak about the grief and the snow globe, 422 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 4: you know, just a variety of other things because I 423 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 4: just want to share what I've learned as exactly as 424 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 4: you're doing, share what I've learned with others, because you know, 425 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 4: if you can help somebody, that's that connection. 426 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 5: That we have is invaluable and it's so rewarding. So 427 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 5: it's like, you know, why wouldn't I want to do that? 428 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 3: That's right, and you're the perfect person to write the 429 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 3: book and speak on it, because like with my book, 430 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: my subtitles a Skeptics Discovery of Life after Death. I 431 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 3: didn't believe in me this. So you're going to have 432 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: a lot of those people who love numbers just like you, 433 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 3: who might not have believed in the afterlife, but then 434 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 3: something happens and they're going to look for answers. So 435 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: is it better to listen to some of these spiritual 436 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: wu wu kind of people or you and they're gonna 437 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: take you? What are some of these other nuggets that 438 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 3: you have in your book? Is it about living life? 439 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 4: Yes, it's really about how the other side relates to us. 440 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 4: And I think I'm going to give you what I 441 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 4: feel is the one thing that I've learned that people 442 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 4: who do believe in the afterlife and are grieving the 443 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 4: loss of a loved one, I hear this question over 444 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 4: and over again, and that question is why don't I 445 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 4: see signs? 446 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 5: The whole sign thing is so important to people. 447 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 4: I will say that in addition to writing my book, 448 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: I serve on the board of a nonprofit foundation called 449 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 4: the Forever Family Foundation, and their mission is to scientifically 450 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 4: prove as an afterlife. So I've been blessed to be 451 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 4: surrounded by like minded people for the last a little 452 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 4: over a decade. So that was one of one of 453 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 4: the groups that I found when my mother in law, 454 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 4: after my mother proved me there was an afterlife, I 455 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 4: sort of stumbled across upon Forever Family Foundation, and I 456 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 4: can just see that people grieving and people curious. Signs 457 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 4: is the number one kind of question that people ask about, 458 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 4: and the struggle that a lot of people have is 459 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 4: why don't I get signs? Why am I not able 460 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 4: to see my deceased father in my dreams? Why does 461 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 4: my neighbor get the cardinal but I don't. So there's 462 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 4: a lot of struggle with why people may not receive signs. 463 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, people really want to see signs. They 464 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 3: worry when they don't, and for a lot of people 465 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 3: that's what they need to let them know that their 466 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 3: loved one is okay and not dead. So when we 467 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 3: come back from the break, Annette, talk about your two 468 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: reasons and we'll talk about signs, are they important, what 469 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 3: do we need to look for and more.

I'm Sanders Champlain 489 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 3: and we're here with author Annette Marinaccio. Annette, you're just 490 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: saying that there are two important things you have to 491 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 3: say about why people don't see signs from their loved ones. 492 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 5: One of them is, ask for the sign. Ask for 493 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 5: the sign. Don't wait if you're really struggling, don't sit 494 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 5: and wait for a sign, a nonscript sign that you're 495 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 5: not even sure what you're waiting for. Be very specific 496 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 5: and ask for a sign and you'll see. I have 497 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 5: it in my book, a couple of stories with people 498 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 5: asked for signs. I'll give you an example of one. 499 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 4: My sister, who was very skeptical when I was starting 500 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 4: to learn about all this. She said, oh, really, you 501 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 4: can ask for anything. Oh fine, I'm going to ask 502 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 4: grandma grandmother to show me a seahorse. 503 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 5: I'll never see that. You know, a seahorse is so rare. 504 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 5: Forget it, I'll never see it. Let's see how real 505 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 5: this is. 506 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: And usually your loved ones if you ask for something 507 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 4: very specific that you can't discount, if you do see it. 508 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 4: I mean, if you just ask for like I'd like 509 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 4: to see, you know, a red circle, Well you may 510 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 4: see a red circle and then you say yeah, but 511 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 4: of course I'm going to see a red circle. But 512 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 4: a seahorse is not something to see in the old 513 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 4: ara course, so you have to ask for something unique, 514 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 4: and typically they will if they can, they will show 515 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 4: you within. 516 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 5: Two weeks, about two weeks. There's a science to it. 517 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 5: Almost a couple of weeks you will see it. So 518 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 5: sure enough she's asking for a sea horse, and you 519 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 5: meditate on the seahorse, and you right, and her coworker 520 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 5: comes back from vacation about a week after she's asked 521 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 5: my grandmother for the sea horse, with all pictures of 522 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 5: her vacation, and of course her family visited an aquarium, 523 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 5: and of course she had pictures of the seahorse display 524 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 5: and my sister was like, oh, my goodness, I actually 525 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 5: saw because that's a horse. And I'm like yeah. So 526 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 5: the first thing on signs is ask them if they 527 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 5: can show you something, they will, and then you will. 528 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 5: It'll be easier for you to say I can't discount 529 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 5: that it really happened. 530 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: But I also have the out to this, you know, 531 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: because not everyone will see the sign they ask for 532 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 4: in that two weeks, and then people say, well, then 533 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 4: why didn't I see it? 534 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 5: Is it that my deceased father, isn't there. 535 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 4: My son doesn't love me like I thought he did. 536 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: I don't understand this, is it not really true? And 537 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 4: the interesting thing is, I like to say, and this 538 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 4: is a very significant takeaway, the souls are right there 539 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 4: on the other side of that snow globe. But they 540 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 4: are very polite, very respectful, the ultimate and respectful and polite. 541 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 4: They will not interfere with your soul's journey or the 542 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 4: journey or purpose of another soul. And if you are 543 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 4: meant to live this life without seeing constant signs from 544 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 4: your deceased love one, because you need not to see 545 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 4: the signs to grow, You need to not see them 546 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 4: in order for your soul to grow, then you will 547 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 4: not see the sign because your deceased loved one is 548 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: more intent on you joining him or horror in the 549 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 4: hereafter and having your soul have grown. They're more intent 550 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 4: on that. Then they're more intent on you coming back 551 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 4: to the other side with your soul's purpose having occurred. 552 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 4: Then they are worrying about you seeing a sign here. 553 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 4: They want your soul to grow. And if your soul 554 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 4: is going to grow by not seeing constant signs, then 555 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: they are going to hold back because they will not 556 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 4: interfere with your soul's growth or the growth of someone else, 557 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 4: and they're going to not show you the sign. 558 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 5: So it's not really about the signs. It's not. It 559 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 5: really isn't. It's about your soul's purpose and your soul's growth, 560 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 5: and they're waiting on the other side for you to 561 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 5: get there and for them to say, congratulations, you live 562 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 5: through the life here. I also like to say this 563 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 5: is another significant thing. 564 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 4: If you were able to sort of tap into the 565 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 4: other side all the time, it would be such a distraction. 566 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, mediums and psychics they have to 567 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 4: actually learn to turn off that constant barrage. But if 568 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 4: you really were able to sort of tap into the 569 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 4: other side and really understand all the mysteries of life, 570 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 4: it would be such a distraction to your soul's purpose here. 571 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 4: If you knew that you were going to be you know, 572 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 4: I'm making this up, but you know, hit by a 573 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 4: car or in a car accident at fifty years old, 574 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 4: maybe not crossover, but being a debilitating car accident fifty. 575 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 4: Could you imagine in your thirties and forties how distracted 576 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 4: you would be you wouldn't be. 577 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 5: Leaving the house at fifty years old. You'd be like, 578 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 5: was it fifty one or fifty two? I have to say, 579 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 5: I mean you, you'd be so distracted you wouldn't be 580 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 5: able to develop your soul's purpose here. 581 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 4: So we're not really supposed to see all these signs 582 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 4: and have the knowing that the other side has. We're 583 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 4: really supposed to be here to enjoy what we have 584 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 4: here and to grow. So that's some significant a series 585 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 4: of significant things that I've learned and that I included 586 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 4: in your soul's focus. 587 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, for our friends on the other side, there is 588 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 3: no time, So outside of the snow globe, there's no time. 589 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 3: So for us, what seems like a lifetime for them 590 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: is just a blink of an eye. So we might 591 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 3: have that panic to get a sign. And I also 592 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 3: believe that just because we cross over, it doesn't mean 593 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 3: we have all the information in the universe. We don't 594 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 3: know how to manipulate lights and you know, all these 595 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: other kinds of things make pomp poms appear. You know, 596 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 3: we don't have that. I believe there's a school of learning. 597 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 5: To do that. 598 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 3: But also anat I was just thinking that we retain 599 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 3: our same personalities. For instance, my grandmother, wonderful lady. When 600 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 3: we were alone together, she would speak her mind, but 601 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: when we were with a group of people, she'd stay 602 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 3: reserved and let the young people talk, you know. So 603 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 3: it was a good ten years after she passed before 604 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 3: she finally came through in a medium reading. The people 605 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 3: continue to have their personalities. So if somebody wasn't boisterous 606 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 3: or let me get to the front of the line 607 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 3: in life, they're not going to be that in death. 608 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 3: But I do say, playful out, ask for the signs, 609 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: but slow down and pay attention. Do you find that too, 610 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 3: that people are so busy in their own minds that 611 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 3: you need to be present to actually see a sign. 612 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. Everything you said is absolutely right. And 613 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 4: the interesting thing too, is you may not get the 614 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 4: sign in the exact way that you think you're going 615 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 4: to get a sign. So you may be saying, okay, 616 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 4: I want to see, you know, a yellow bird. 617 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 5: You may not actually see a yellow bird flying past 618 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 5: your window, but you may actually, you know, drive by 619 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 5: a restaurant holld the yellow right. 620 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 4: So sometimes signs can be a little bit like elusive, 621 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 4: and you have to be in tune to the fact 622 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 4: that it may not be exactly what you're you're asking for, 623 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 4: you know, or you mean. It may be what you're 624 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 4: asking for, but not the way you think you're going 625 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 4: to receive it exactly. 626 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 3: And there's got to be some mystery too, like you 627 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 3: said about knowing all the answers in the universe or 628 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 3: what's coming in the afterlife. It might be great, but 629 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 3: there is stuff here to learn. I think we're born 630 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 3: into this light forgetting what home is all about, because 631 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 3: we'd want to get back there. But there's a richness 632 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 3: to life, you know. I often say, and that if 633 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 3: you have to eat your same favorite food over and 634 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 3: over and over and that's the only food you get 635 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 3: in the rest of your life, it'd be kind of boring, 636 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 3: wouldn't it bing. But and comparing that to the afterlife, 637 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 3: when it's all good all the time, it's fantastic that 638 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 3: there's something more. So I think the soul's crave being 639 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 3: here on earth because we have the ups and downs, 640 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 3: we have all kinds of emotions, and while it might 641 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 3: be great, there's things that we can get here. Do 642 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 3: you have any thoughts as to the purpose of life? 643 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 3: You know, the big question about why we're here or 644 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 3: how to make the most of it. 645 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 4: So the why we're here is very straightforward, right, it's 646 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 4: too love and to grow. That's really why we're here. 647 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 4: So it's all about right, I mean, that's just it. 648 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 5: So it's all about our connection to each other, sharing things, 649 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 5: and our soul's growth. You know. 650 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 4: It's interesting as I've gotten older and as I've learned more, 651 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 4: I start to be able to tell, you know, or 652 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 4: to know when I'm working with the universe as opposed. 653 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 5: To grinding against it. 654 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 3: You know. 655 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 4: So when you feel that kind of friction, you know, 656 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,240 Speaker 4: and you're not aligned, that's a sure sign you're probably 657 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 4: not working towards your soul's purpose. But if you're really, 658 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 4: if things are rolling easily for you, then you can 659 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 4: feel comfortable that you're working to your soul's purpose. Chances 660 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 4: are if you're looking at things positively and sharing that 661 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 4: positivity and sharing anything you can with any one you can, chances. 662 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 5: Are you working toward your soul's goal. I mean. 663 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 4: And it could be one big goal, one small goal, 664 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 4: it could be a lot of little goals. And you 665 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 4: also may have decided to come here not for your 666 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 4: own growth, but to help somebody else grow. So you 667 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 4: may have decided, Okay, I'm coming here and I'll do 668 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 4: a bunch of these little things. But the real purpose 669 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 4: I'm here is to help this group of people grow, 670 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 4: or to help one other person grow. It's not always 671 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 4: about your own soul. It's about other souls too, souls 672 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 4: within your group. So yeah, but that's I mean, that's 673 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 4: the simple purpose, right, love and grow. 674 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think about other souls. And somebody 675 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 3: once said that I interviewed, because not all souls are 676 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 3: friendly to you. Some are, you know, you get these 677 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 3: relationships that clash. But what she had said is other 678 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 3: people can be like a bit of sand in an oyster, right, 679 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 3: and so we learn that to deal with it, and 680 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 3: we grow and what ultimately comes on is a pearl. Yeah, 681 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 3: and it all starts from that friction. 682 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 4: That's interesting too, You're right, because soulmates. Everybody thinks like, oh, 683 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 4: I'd love to just meet and full in love. 684 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 5: With my soulmate, you know, and things will be so 685 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 5: happy and blissful and easy. 686 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 4: But you know, sometimes your soulmate is somebody that's going 687 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 4: to force your soul to grow, and it may not 688 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 4: be so blissful and happy and easy. And and you 689 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 4: find that even in your family, you know, your siblings, 690 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 4: or your parents or your children, it may not be 691 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 4: so you know, it typically isn't so swimmingly easy. 692 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 5: And it's because they're pushing your soul to grow. 693 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 3: And now let me just jump in. You just said 694 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 3: some things that are a goal. When you're talking about 695 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 3: forcing your soul to grow. I think we all come 696 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 3: from families that there's been friction, or maybe there is 697 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 3: right now. And learning how to see life from another 698 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 3: person's perspective, learning how to communicate, learning how to rise 699 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 3: above and maybe bite your tongue and wait before responding. 700 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 3: And then also you had mentioned that we may be 701 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 3: here for someone else. Imagine being so wise in the 702 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 3: before life and then coming to earth with certainly some 703 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 3: soul growth to be done, but being so generous to say, 704 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 3: let me help you to another soul and give of 705 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 3: yourself so that these circumstances happen to help other people. Anyways, 706 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 3: we need to go to a break and then we'll 707 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 3: be right back.

I'm Sandra Champlain 718 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 3: and we're here with Annette Marnaccio, author of Your Sole Focus. Annette, 719 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 3: we were just talking about tough times and tough people 720 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: and the ability for soul growth. Can you talk more 721 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 3: about that? 722 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 5: I was blessed she would want Oprah Winfrey's a large 723 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 5: stadium events. 724 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 3: Wow. 725 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 4: And she was beautiful, beautiful person, unbelievable stories. And at 726 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 4: the end she was telling a story about her mother 727 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 4: and her very very difficult upbringing. But she said at 728 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 4: the end, at the end, after her mother passed, she 729 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 4: realized that she didn't get the mother she wanted, but 730 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 4: she definitely got the mother she needed. That happens, you know, 731 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 4: and maybe not always with parents, but a lot of 732 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 4: times you do cross paths with people that you need, 733 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 4: even though they may not be people that you feel 734 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 4: happiest with, but they if they're helping your soul to grow, 735 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 4: you'll sort of know it as opposed to toxic people 736 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 4: that you really should just walk away and you know, 737 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 4: get out of their way. 738 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes that's hard, but we do the best we can. 739 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 3: I heard somebody speak on this yesterday, and it's similar 740 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 3: to what you're saying. So often people blame their parents 741 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 3: for the life that they have, right you hear that, 742 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 3: Or they blame a spouse or a relationship gone wrong 743 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 3: for how it now is. But when we really look 744 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 3: to see where we've grown. So there's been some say 745 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 3: a child that's been neglected, it turns out to be 746 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 3: the best parent ever, right, best parent, best grandparent. Well 747 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 3: it all stems back from that relationship with their parent. 748 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 3: So instead of using the energy to make them wrong, 749 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 3: maybe they were here for our soul to grow. And 750 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 3: whether it's true or it's not, if we can look 751 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 3: from an empowering lens, then you can move on with 752 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 3: your life and you can thank them. You know, I've 753 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 3: had some difficulties in my family. Things around the time 754 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 3: of my dad's death. But had everyone not played the 755 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 3: roles that they did, I would have never gone searching 756 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 3: for answers. I would have never written the book, I 757 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 3: would have never had these shows. I would have never 758 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 3: met you today. So while it's easy for our human 759 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 3: brains to have these flashbacks and make people wrong, you know, 760 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 3: make them right because without them we wouldn't be right 761 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 3: here today. 762 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 5: Well that's a great story, because you're absolutely right. I mean, 763 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 5: all those things that occurred to you when your dad died, 764 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 5: and all those family and friend relationships that may have, 765 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 5: you know, felt like they were grinding at the time, 766 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 5: like a friction. Look at what it's done. It's put 767 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 5: you in a place to help so many people. That's 768 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 5: a huge blessing. 769 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah, the hardest times in our life can 770 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 3: be the biggest growth for our soul. So, Annatt, what 771 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 3: else would you like to talk about? 772 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 5: Well, again, I think I would just say I would 773 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 5: like everybody to appreciate the work that you put into 774 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 5: the show, you put into your book, I put in 775 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 5: my book. 776 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 4: I think there are a lot of like guiding light 777 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 4: kinds of personalities out there, and I really hope that 778 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 4: people who are attracted to you know, this kind of 779 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 4: an environment. 780 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 5: Do what you're doing. 781 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 4: Which is really give back, give back to the community, 782 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 4: and give back to family and friends, because that is 783 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 4: only going to It helps your own soul, it helps 784 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 4: you feel good, and it just it helps the world. 785 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 4: We're all connected. We're connected to people we don't know, 786 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 4: let alone people we do know. We are all connected. 787 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 5: So the more we can raise the elevation and the 788 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 5: spiritual level and the level of spiritual awareness of anyone 789 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 5: else and everyone else, and the better of if we 790 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 5: are so, I think, you know, that's what I would like. 791 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 5: The message I would like to give is I think 792 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 5: sharing is very important. 793 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 3: When you say in purpose of life, his love and grow, 794 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,320 Speaker 3: you know, I also want to throw in their service 795 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 3: because it helps everything. I mean, if you're at rock 796 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 3: bottom grieving, which is an awful place to be, if 797 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 3: you can set your sights on someone else, maybe making 798 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 3: a difference for someone else, then all of a sudden, 799 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 3: you start feeling better, whatever that may be in each 800 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 3: one of us. I feel, whether it's afterlife or not, 801 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 3: there's a journey we've been on, there's growth that we've had, 802 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 3: and if we can share our knowledge with others and 803 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 3: be that moral support. I think it just makes a 804 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 3: huge difference. 805 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 5: You know. 806 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 4: It's interesting you say that because one of the motivations 807 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 4: for me sticking with writing the book was a very 808 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 4: unlikely source, Justin Bieber. So Justin Bieber, that is unlikely, 809 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 4: very unlikely because he's there are young fellow in his twenties, 810 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 4: and I'm obviously I'll be kind to myself middlely woman, 811 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 4: you know, than an older woman. So you wouldn't think 812 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 4: that he would be able to be in a position 813 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 4: to influence me. But he did come across my feed 814 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 4: in Google or whatever at some point around the time 815 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 4: of January twenty twenty, when I had committed to myself 816 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 4: that I was going to try and get this book together. 817 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 4: It was an interview of his and who knows from 818 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 4: when it was, I don't remember, but he basically said 819 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 4: that one of the things that helped turn him around 820 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 4: was his ability to focus on others. He said, when 821 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 4: I was younger. Of course he's still young, but when 822 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 4: he was younger, he said, he was very you know, 823 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 4: self absorbed or focused on himself, and when. 824 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 5: He realized that it was more important to. 825 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 4: Focus on others, that's when he sort of turns was 826 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 4: able to turn his life around, and that just resonated 827 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 4: with me, and I was like, that's the answer. The 828 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 4: answer is not to focus on us. The answers to 829 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 4: focus on others. 830 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 5: Exactly what you said, Sada a service, because if you 831 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 5: can continue to focus on others, a lot falls into place. 832 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 5: And throughout the process of that year writing my book, 833 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 5: I had to keep my eye on that and my 834 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,319 Speaker 5: ear on that. I had to keep going back to 835 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 5: that focus on others, because it really is. There are 836 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 5: many times in the process of writing a book, and 837 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 5: I'm sure in your process of putting on the shows 838 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 5: and whatnot, where it's just sometimes it's easy to say, 839 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 5: you know, I'm not going to do that today. You 840 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 5: know I'm going to put that off, and it's easier 841 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 5: just not to sort of put the energy into it sometimes. 842 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 5: But I kept thinking, justin Bieber's you know, I have 843 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,760 Speaker 5: to focus on the on others. 844 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 4: I can't focus on the hassle it is for me 845 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,479 Speaker 4: right now, I have to focus on. 846 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 5: Putting this book out and having it help somebody. That's 847 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 5: what I have to focus on. 848 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 4: And that's what I did, and it makes it that 849 00:47:55,160 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 4: service to others really makes things just easy. You know, 850 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 4: if you can keep your eye on that, it does 851 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 4: make life a lot easier. 852 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 3: So many people think they're not smart enough or their 853 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 3: story is not important enough. But if it's happened to you, 854 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 3: somebody else is going through it. And I really think, 855 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 3: while a lot of people may never have a book, 856 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 3: if you can get your story out there, whatever hardship 857 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 3: that you went through and how you overcame it, you 858 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 3: don't have to do anything with it. You don't need 859 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 3: to sell a book, you don't need to have a show. 860 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 3: And sometimes it's literally just sharing a post on social 861 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 3: media or if you're brave enough to have a camera 862 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 3: to you, you know, do Facebook live or something and 863 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 3: just say, you know, there's something I want to get 864 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 3: off my chest and share your story. You never know 865 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,359 Speaker 3: who's at their wits end going through the same exact thing, 866 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 3: and these synchronicities, these signs are real and somebody might 867 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 3: just see it and it's the difference they need. Here's 868 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 3: an example for you. I got a really interesting email 869 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 3: from a guy whose three year old child had died 870 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 3: and he was driving in his car. He just asked 871 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 3: Siri on the phone to play some news nothing about 872 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 3: the afterlife, and what started playing was an episode of 873 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 3: my show. 874 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 5: Oh wow, that's so great. 875 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 3: But he had to open his mouth, and the universe 876 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,439 Speaker 3: or God, whoever you want to say, loved ones put 877 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 3: it in his path, and so it's made a difference. 878 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,320 Speaker 3: So everybody who's listening right now, your story is important. 879 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 3: Whatever it is, all that stuff that you've been through 880 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 3: in your life, it's growth for your soul, and if 881 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 3: you can share it with others, it's the magic formula 882 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 3: of having a good life. There really is. 883 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 4: My purpose is just to sort of get the word 884 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 4: out there. I really would love the same as you 885 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 4: for people to live very fulfilled lives, and it is 886 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 4: so possible. So I think, you know, fifteen years ago, 887 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 4: before my mother in law died, I was just very 888 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 4: busily living my crazy life. Once she opened my eyes, 889 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 4: it was like, ah, this is what it's about. 890 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 5: It's a little bit more you know, intense that I 891 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 5: thought in a good way. So so anyway, yeah. 892 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 3: If you had to leave people with just one last 893 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 3: piece of advice, you might have already covered it. 894 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 5: But what would you say to people again? I think 895 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,760 Speaker 5: the advice is that love and grow situation. Our theme 896 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 5: of sharing, you know that and service, as you've. 897 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 4: Brought up is really it's really you know, people say, oh, 898 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 4: it's better to give some to receive it really is it? 899 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,280 Speaker 5: Really is? It feels better. 900 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 4: So I think, yeah, the more people speak about the afterlife, 901 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 4: if they've had experiences, the more it's open and discussed openly, 902 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 4: especially by people who aren't exactly mediums, you know, and 903 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 4: maybe people assume that psychic and mediums are always speaking about. 904 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 5: That kind of thing. 905 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 4: People that aren't psychics and mediums get out there and 906 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,400 Speaker 4: if you've had these experiences, these real life experiences, speak 907 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,399 Speaker 4: about them, speak about them openly, because they just may 908 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 4: help somebody, and that's what it's about. 909 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,839 Speaker 3: Thanks. And if you are somebody that is having a 910 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 3: tough time, and you might have somebody that wants to 911 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 3: give and wants to share, and sometimes the hardest thing 912 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 3: is to allow someone to give. And so just remember 913 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 3: the person gets a whole bunch of growth for their 914 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 3: soul if they're able to give. So don't shut them 915 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 3: off if they want to share with you. I mean, 916 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,760 Speaker 3: it's two way street. And certainly when we have the means, 917 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,839 Speaker 3: we do share, but let other people share and love 918 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 3: you as well well.
