I know there are many of us who 18 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: have experienced grief and then there's been some real scary 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: stuff on And sometimes when you see someone else experiencing 20 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: grief or worry, it can ignite the grief that you've 21 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: felt before in the past.

They're part of the 32 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: grieving process. But there are things we can do to 33 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: move through grief to feel better.

Now, if 37 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: you've felt yourself emotional lately, know something that our emotional 38 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: center is how our loved ones communicate from the afterlife. 39 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: The more emotional we are might mean the more sensitive 40 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: we are to afterlife communications. You've heard that everybody can 41 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: play piano, right, Some people are just natural at it, 42 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: and some people it takes years, but of course they 43 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: can learn through practicing. Our spiritual development is the same 44 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: way some people find and you've heard these stories of 45 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: I saw people in spirit when I was a little kid, 46 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: and then there's others that in their sixties, seventies, eighties 47 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: end up learning how mediumship works. We all have the ability. 48 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: Like I said, they communicate through our feelings and through 49 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: our emotions. If you're somebody like me who doesn't like 50 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: to experience the negative ones and might eat something, or 51 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: some people drink something or others do other distracting things 52 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: to avoid feeling emotions, I recommend that we all try 53 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: to sit with those emotions and actually pay attention to them. 54 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's our loved ones trying to communicate with us. 55 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: Here's something you can do. Take a picture of your 56 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: loved one, think about them, look at their picture, recall 57 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: and experience that you had together, and then pay attention 58 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: to your belly. How do you feel, what's your gut? 59 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: Say about it? Soak up the laughter, the love, the memories, 60 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: and really pay attention to those feelings. When we can 61 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: activate those feelings, also pay attention to the other thoughts 62 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: and feelings that come into your mind, paying attention to 63 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: our feelings, looking at a picture of our loved one, 64 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: talking to them. It's like knocking on the door saying, hey, 65 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: will you let me know you're still around, And don't 66 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: be surprised when all of a sudden other thoughts and 67 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: feelings and memories come flooding in. It's them just saying 68 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: I'm right here with you. Our new medium glasses are 69 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: also starting. Whether or not you want to be a medium, 70 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: I think it's so cool for any of us just 71 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: to learn how our soul communicates. And I tell you 72 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: you would be blown away by realizing you are not 73 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: the flow in blood that you think you are, that 74 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: you are so much more. We really do have divine 75 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: powers as being a human, and oftentimes we don't pay attention, 76 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: but they are there. And I'm sure you've had plenty 77 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: of opportunities to have instincts intuitions about people and things 78 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: you just knew. So moving on with our show, The 79 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: World Lost and the Spirit World Gained. Our wonderful pioneer 80 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: Bill Guggenheim this past month. I'd like to start by 81 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: reading his obituary, and several years ago I got an 82 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: opportunity to talk with him, so I want to play 83 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: some of his words. Here's the obituary. Sadly, Bill Guggenheim 84 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 2: has left this world for the next at the age 85 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: of eighty four. He died suddenly and unexpectedly of natural 86 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: causes at his longtime home in Florida. Bill would not 87 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: want us to grieve his life, but rather celebrate his 88 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: exceptional life and joyous transition into the realm of spirit. 89 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: For those of us who knew him and loved him, 90 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: this task is much easier said than done. Not to 91 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: grieve the death of one so very special, who gave 92 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: so much to so many, often anonymously, asking nothing in return, 93 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: is nearly an impossible challenge. Bill was a pioneer in 94 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: the field of after death communication, also known as ADC experiences. 95 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: He is considered by many to be the father of 96 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 2: after death communication research, based on his project in which 97 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: he and his ex wife Judy, collected over thirty three 98 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: hundred first hand ADC accounts and interviewed over two thousand people. 99 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: The ADC project resulted in a best selling book entitled 100 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 2: Hello from Heaven, publish in two thousand and six, featuring 101 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty three cases now critically regarded as 102 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: classic work. Hello from Heaven has helped hundreds of thousands 103 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: of people all over the world to heal their grief 104 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: over the loss of a loved one. Generously, Bill made 105 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: it a practice to send out copies of his book 106 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: free of charge to newly bereaved individuals, especially parents who 107 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: had lost young children. Based on his diligent research in 108 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: his first hand experiences, he came to the abiding conclusion 109 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: that life and love are eternal and that death is 110 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: merely a transition to a higher realm of continued existence. 111 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: His longtime personalized automobile license tag beautifully and succinctly summed 112 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: up his firm conviction about life's purpose be life. So 113 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: here is a conversation I shared with the wonderful Bill Guggenheim. 114 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: I'm from Long Island, Manhattan in New York City and 115 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: New Jersey, and grew up there and went to school 116 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 3: there Yale University. But mainly I was a stockbroker and 117 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: a securities analyst, literally on Wall Street. I worked for 118 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 3: two small firms, which has nothing to do with this. 119 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 3: That's my orientation. I inherited money when I was twenty one. 120 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: I wanted to learn how to manage it. That's why 121 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: I studied a whole bunch of courses and eventually worked 122 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: in the field. But Judy and I moved to Florida. 123 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: We had one son at that time, and I had 124 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: a spiritual awakening in nineteen seventy four that led me 125 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: to attend day five day workshop which would be very, 126 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: very famous. That's doctor Elizabeth Koubler Ross wrote who and 127 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: she wrote all the books yearly books on death and dying. Yes, 128 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: And this workshop was held in nineteen seventy seven. It 129 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: was just a series of coincidences, if there are tutch things. 130 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: Happened to be watching her on the Phil Donna Hugh Show. 131 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: One day, Judy called me in to see her. I 132 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: had heard her name, but I didn't know who she was. 133 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: I watched for an hour and she really spoke about 134 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: near death experiences, which I was a bit familiar with. 135 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: I had read Raymond Body's book Life After Life, which 136 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: was published in nineteen seventy five, and I knew some 137 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: people involved with that research and things like that. I didn't, 138 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: you know, this didn't change my life or anything at all. 139 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: I just watched it, and then coincidentally, the same show 140 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: came on another cable channel when we were living in 141 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 3: Sarasota two weeks later, and in that show it had 142 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 3: her name and mailing address below. So, feeling kind of 143 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 3: magnanimous at the moment, I wrote a check to support 144 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: her work. Break the check twenty five dollars what you 145 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: might do if the Brownie Scouts came around, or the 146 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: fire department or any other you know, house to house 147 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: charity call kind of thing. And I thought, that's you know, 148 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 3: I did my good need for the day and that 149 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 3: would be the end of it. But as it turned out, 150 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 3: what Elizabeth wrote back to me sent me a number 151 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: of audio cassette tapes called Lessons from the Dying Patient 152 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 3: and invited me to attend a five day workshop with her. 153 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: And I didn't know anything about it. So I waited 154 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: up to the last day before registration, and I thought, well, 155 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: if I went, then probably a doctor or a nurse, 156 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: or a social worker or you know, somebody in the 157 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: medical profession would not be able to attend if I went. 158 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: So I called her office in Illinois to speak to 159 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 3: her secretary, I thought, and I was going to apologize 160 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: and say very much, thank you, very much for inviting me, 161 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: but really, you know, get my seat away, don't hold 162 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: a place for me for somebody who could make a 163 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: bigger difference in the field of death and dying. And however, 164 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: that particular day was snowing in Illinois, and Elizabeth answered 165 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 3: her own phone denised her voice immediately. So bringing this 166 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: into context, imagine calling some movie star or somebody like that, 167 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 3: and you know Jennifer Aniston, and you get her right 168 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: on the phone. It's her. It's not you know, a 169 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: machine or somebody else that works there. But it was Elizabeth. 170 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: So I went to my little routine about thank you 171 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: for inviting me, but and she listened patiently, and then 172 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: she simply said, in her German Swiss accent, Miria, I 173 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: think you should be there, And I just point out 174 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: I guess I'm gonna push over for dominant women, because 175 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: I said, well, Elizabeth, if you think so, I will, 176 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: And six months later, sure enough, I was there for 177 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 3: five days. It was about the workshop was not about 178 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 3: duck and dying. It was about life and living and 179 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: people releasing their grief for their pain, their sorrow, all 180 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: kinds of things, not just death by having been abused, 181 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: having been this out or the other throughout life, you know, 182 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: all the different emotions, and we bonded so much. That's 183 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: by the end of the workshop we all wanted to 184 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 3: just call our immediate family members and friends and go 185 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: off to an island together and never go back to reality. 186 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 3: It was so incredibly loving. I've never experienced in a 187 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: group the love we shared in those few days, which 188 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 3: Bill Bill filt throughout the workshop. The big point is 189 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 3: that on that Thursday evening she flew Raymond Moody down 190 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: from Virginia to Florida where the workshop was to speak 191 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: to us. And he spoke about us in your Death's 192 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: Experience research and whatnot in his book, and a couple 193 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: of people or three people talked about they had had 194 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 3: one of. 195 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: Those This is a good time to go into our 196 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: first break, isn't Bill Guggenheim? Just down to earth. You 197 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 2: never know how one TV show or a conversation with 198 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 2: a person can make a difference. Raymond Moody, Elizabeth Koopler 199 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: Ross made a huge difference in Bill's eyes. Little did 200 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: he know he would be one of the biggest after 201 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: life pioneers with his book Hello from Heaven and We'll 202 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: Be Back.

Welcome back 218 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain, and you 219 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: are listening to a conversation I had with the late 220 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: great Bill Guggenheim, co author of Hello from Heaven. You 221 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: just never know when an ordinary everyday person is someone 222 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: who can make a big difference. So last he was 223 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: talking about a workshop with Elizabeth Koobler Ross and doctor 224 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: Raymond Moody was there. 225 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: How, Vanna went into another direction where a woman claimed 226 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: that her daughter had been hidden killed by a driver 227 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: of a car accident away when the daughter was walking 228 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: with a friend. So both these teenage girls were killed. 229 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: She had what she called a dream in which she 230 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: saw her daughter conversed with her. The dream was very, 231 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: very healing. It it had occurred about a year before, 232 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: and this woman was a nurse herself, and she accepted 233 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: it fully as being authentic and real and an actual 234 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: contact from her daughter. And then she went on to 235 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: say how her son had seen his sister while he 236 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: was doing his homework one evening scared him and he 237 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 3: went running into the living room and saying, Kaffi's there, 238 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 3: Kaffiy's air, and he described what she was wearing and whatnot. 239 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: And I had never heard of anything like this before ever, 240 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: anyone who had died. Was my praise was when you're dead, 241 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: you're dead, you know, and the body is white, a flash, 242 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: white battery and the juice runs out. You throw it away. Wow, 243 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 3: those were live views. So I was I was very 244 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: skeptical about this. I thought it was very nice that 245 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 3: the mother had a dream, but when she called her 246 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: a dream, I dismissed that he not real. And when 247 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 3: the boy gave his account of saying, sister, and so 248 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 3: your teenage boy in little marijuana, who knows what? 249 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: You know? 250 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: Probably a drug reaction, And so that went away. But 251 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: then Elizabeth went on to narrate a story in which 252 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: a patient of hers had died ten months earlier, came 253 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: back to Elizabeth made Elizabeth make a promise that she 254 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 3: would not quit her work, because there was a great 255 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: deal of pressure on Elizabeth at that point, opposition by 256 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: the medical community to stop doing what she was doing, 257 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 3: even though she worked in a hospital and everything, and 258 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: she was a full fledged American psychiatrist at that point, 259 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: although her background was from Switzerland. When finished, when Elizabeth 260 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 3: finished her long story, which is in our books, I'm 261 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: not going to go through it. You could literally hear 262 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: a pin drop would have sounded like a crowbar following 263 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: on a concrete floor or something. It was so dramatic, 264 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: And so I went home with the idea, well, if 265 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: it happened to one person, Elizabeth Koola Ross, who had 266 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 3: everything to lose and nothing to gain by telling this experience, 267 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 3: I felt maybe taped to some other people now and 268 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: back then in nineteen seventy seven, seventy eight, late seventies 269 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: throughout the eighties, there was no Internet or anything like it. 270 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 3: It was the interlibrary loan system. So I was able 271 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: to get books from anywhere in the country that I 272 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: could locate, or you know, a title over in Arthur 273 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 3: or whatever. And so I would get a book here, 274 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 3: in a book there, and there'd be one accound or 275 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: two accounts its, maybe three of something like this, and 276 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 3: one had a whole chapter on it, you know, had 277 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: of all the books that have ever been written, one 278 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 3: had a chapter. And I was curious, and I didn't 279 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: know what to do about it. But I went to 280 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: Raymond Moody, who I had gotten to know myself again, 281 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 3: the father of near death experience research, and I asked, 282 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 3: I figured if he wrote the book, it would get attention. 283 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 3: And well, Raymond never said no, he never said yes, 284 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: And he kept postponing me for years because and I 285 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 3: even found a man who he worked with up in Georgia, 286 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: so he would find people to interview, so the three 287 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 3: of us would work together. But it never happened, and 288 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 3: I finally had an experience of hearing a voice, my 289 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: old head say do your own research, write your own book. 290 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 3: It's your spiritual work to do. And so it was 291 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 3: back on me and I didn't know. I mean I 292 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: could figure out what to do, yes, but I had 293 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 3: done it, and that was very simply find people who 294 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 3: had had some kind of experience, have been contacted by 295 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 3: love when who would die, and interviewed them. That was 296 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: my messondolity, very simple. I called my former wife Q 297 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: come over, and we had been married seventeen years. We 298 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 3: were divorced for four years, but I had shared all 299 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 3: my information and interest in this with her before where 300 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 3: you were divorced, and even afterwards, and so she did it. 301 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: Even that day when she was there for an hour, 302 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: we got a phone call from somebody telling us about 303 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 3: accounts this woman's aunt seeing a friend of hers who 304 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 3: had died having the experience before she was even informed 305 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 3: that the friend had died. 306 00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: Wow. 307 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: Evidential. That's what I really wanted to supply in, something 308 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 3: which could convince me that these weren't just imagination, which 309 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 3: we were thinking or you know, breathed desire to bereave 310 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: that kind of thing. And the long story short, in 311 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 3: our book, we did have six chapters of why these 312 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: real and I'll go through that later, but that provides 313 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: evidence within the experience, not just reading it, but the 314 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: content of how they learned, what they learned and whatnot. 315 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: That they learned something they didn't know before or before 316 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 3: they were told to loved one had died, things like that. 317 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: So with that I plunged. I had. My job was 318 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: to find ten people a week here in Orlando, Florida, 319 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 3: and I did to who would claim to have such 320 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: an experience because I didn't know if we'd find fifty 321 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 3: people a year or one hundred and a year. Long 322 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: story short, we interviewed five hundred people the very first year, 323 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: and that led to being in contact with various bereavement 324 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 3: organizations and asking them to help us by providing people 325 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: who were grieving that's a little loved one, especially grieve parents. 326 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: And we gave our first lecture workshop whatever you want 327 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 3: to call it, one year after we began our research, 328 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 3: which we began in nineteen eighty eight through nineteen ninety five, 329 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 3: but nineteen eight nine, we gave our first workshop with 330 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: over three hundred people in it all beieve parents Wow. 331 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: And a second one the same day with more than 332 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: two hundred for parents in it. And because another little coincidence, 333 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: I had met a woman who was a reporter for 334 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 3: the Saint Petersburg Times. She was there and she brought 335 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 3: a cameraman. So we had a wonderful, beautiful article over 336 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: in the Saint Petersburg newspaper that was written with the 337 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 3: color photograph and we use that as evidence that our 338 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: research was real and honest and straightforward. And we use 339 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: that throughout the rest of our six years of research 340 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: whenever we contacted anybody, individuals or organizations. So we had 341 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: and there were other stories and other newspapers, including New 342 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 3: Orlando Sentinel two in there. So we got a great 343 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: deal of publicity before a book was ever published. West 344 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 3: kept going and going and going. We kept hearing more 345 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 3: and more experiences, so we didn't stop, and we wound 346 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 3: up interviewing two thousand people in all fifteen American states 347 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: and all ten Canadian provinces, all backgrounds, all interests, all 348 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: different relationships, everything, and that's in the book. And Hello 349 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 3: from Heaven contains three hundred and fifty three first hand 350 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 3: accounts that we planned the books that were all representative 351 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 3: of all the others we heard. 352 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: How did you pick the three hundred and fifty three 353 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: out of two thousand? 354 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: Basically they fall with the categories we found twelve sounds 355 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: like the zodiacci the twelve categories. Actually there were one 356 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 3: or two more now, but then there were twelve. They 357 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: just fell into one, such as a feeling or sensing 358 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 3: the presence, or hearing a voice, or feeling a touch, 359 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 3: a tactile touch, or a pat of caress, a kiss, 360 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 3: something like that, or smelling of fragrance of some kind. 361 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 3: We're actually seeing them. They fall into patterns those types 362 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 3: of experiences, and within those we found the ones that 363 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: were the clearest and easiest to understand, the best told 364 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: frankly avorbally and edited down to a reasonable amount of 365 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: space in a book. And yes there's a lot of 366 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: hard choices, but we have to not have a thousand 367 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: page books that we do. Nobody would read that. 368 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: What are some of these twelve If you don't mind. 369 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: Hearing a voice, or sensing a presence, or feeling a touch, 370 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 3: these types of things we go on later into of 371 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 3: course people call them dreams. We call them sweep state 372 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: ABC's because they're very common. They're not People will go 373 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: through a whole experience and they use the word dream, 374 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 3: green dream, but then they'll finish plaicing. But it was 375 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 3: unlike any other dream I ever had. They saw the 376 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 3: person they communicated. Usually it was detailed, it was personal, 377 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: it was comforting, uplifting, and even other people in their dreams, 378 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 3: there are a group of people didn't see that person. 379 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 3: Only they did, so there were unique little twists and 380 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: turns within many of these. 381 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: Do you have any stories of ADCs that continue to 382 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: just like when you think about them, there's no doubt 383 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: this is reality. Any stories you could share with us, Well, the. 384 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: Easiest one is the one I had, and that was 385 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 3: before we ever began a research. Judy and I were 386 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 3: owned a home in Longwood, Florida, which is a suburb 387 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: of Orlando, and one Sunday afternoon we had a talk. 388 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 3: We were in our living room, which was in the 389 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: front of the house, and we had gotten up to 390 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: go on and do whatever it was wrestled that Sunday 391 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 3: and I heard a thought in my mind very clearly. 392 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: It said go outside and check the swimming pool. It's 393 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 3: very common in Florida for people to have screened in pools, 394 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 3: and then you don't have to be a millionaire or 395 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: anything like it. I mean, you look from the air. 396 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 3: It's hard to fly in some areas and suburban area. 397 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: Houses that don't have pools'll come there. So we had 398 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: a average size screened in pool. And so I walked 399 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 3: from the front of the house to the rear, which 400 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: had sliding glass doors between us and the pool we 401 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 3: had about fifteen feet away. There was a wrought iron 402 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: fence and the gate had been left open, and we 403 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: had three sons at that point. Two of the older 404 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 3: ones used to use that as a shortcut to go 405 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 3: to the backyard. So from the back door through the 406 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: gate to the pool and around the pool through another 407 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 3: door outside the pool, And so I went to close 408 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 3: the gate, and as I did, I had to look 409 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 3: down at the deep end of the pool. There our 410 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: youngest son, Jonathan was floating and not moving at all, 411 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: and iaginet Nelson's dead. Her alive. He was only less 412 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 3: than two years old. He didn't know how to swim, 413 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: and I tore her off to the other end of 414 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: the pool and just before I jumped in the water. 415 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 3: Jonathan was floating face upwards. His arms were a kid boat, 416 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 3: and he spread out with his legs. His eyes were 417 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 3: open and he wasn't moving, but he had almost like 418 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 3: a small smile on his face, him buying memory. And 419 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 3: so I jumped in the water. I came up under him, 420 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: pushed him to the side, and while I had been 421 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 3: running down the side, I yelled out, Judy. I screeched 422 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: down Judy. She came running immediately, and she literally pulled 423 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 3: him out. I pushed him and she told him. He 424 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 3: both got out. It may the water was still cold. 425 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 3: I was shivering a bit. We didn't know what yet, 426 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: and within a few seconds he split up water and 427 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 3: he was flying. He did not even require CPR so quickly. 428 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 3: How occurred? 429 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: Wow? Incredible story. So important to listen to those gut instincts. 430 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: And in Bill's case, he heard a voice.

I'm Sandra Champlain 460 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 2: and we are hearing about Hello from Heaven from the 461 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 2: late Bill Gougenheim. He just told us a story about 462 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: hearing a message check the swimming pool where he found 463 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 2: his two year old boy floating and subsequently survived. Let's 464 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: continue and other. 465 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: People's Hello from Heaven. I received messages to look out 466 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 3: and check the bar, and in that case the bar 467 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 3: was on fire and would have spread to the house 468 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 3: or built board that aeroplane and then later on the 469 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 3: plane crashes. Wow, they're all the plane will crash. Won't 470 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: get on. Just don't get on that plane. If your 471 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: listeners don't believe a word I say, that's up to them. 472 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: But if you ever ever receive information about slow down now, 473 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 3: or stop your car now, or anything like that, please 474 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 3: be good about it and listen to that voice and 475 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 3: heat it because it will probably save your life or 476 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 3: at least prevent you from having a serious accident. 477 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: So let's talk about a few other these kinds of 478 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 2: after death communications, because I think we can have them 479 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: and not realize we're having. I'm like, for instance, smelling 480 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: my grandmother's perfume or something like that. You know, that 481 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: could be a very real communication, couldn't it. 482 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 3: It's a whole chapter in All from Heaven about that. 483 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: You can smell a perfume and cologne, favorite food, favorite beverage, 484 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: could be a sachet was reported. The sense of the 485 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: baby can be reported anything to do with smelling something 486 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: like that, And which makes them the most interesting in 487 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 3: a way, because this is a category of all the 488 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: types of experiences that other people can share and do 489 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 3: share easily. So let's pretend you're calling me from northern 490 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: Minnesota in the middle of a blizzards snow outside, no 491 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 3: flowers anywhere, and you're working in an office in a 492 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 3: big building, in a cubicle or whatever, and there's no 493 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: flowers and there's no colonne, there's no perfume of anything, 494 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, you start smelling violets, which 495 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 3: may not even be a flower native to there, I 496 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 3: don't know, but you smell my life, and well, I 497 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: like to remind you that what you say your mother's 498 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: favorite flower when she was alive, and you, guys, feel 499 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 3: surrounded by lilacs and uplifted, and you feel a warm 500 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: hug from your mother emotionally, and you say thank your 501 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 3: mom or whatever, and somebody comes along and you go sniff, sniffles, 502 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 3: smell it.

So these and we have one in which 505 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 3: twelve people all smell the same roses when there are 506 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 3: no roses there. So that's evidential, where there's two or 507 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: more people at the same time, in the same place, 508 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 3: sharing the same experience, again with no words involved, without 509 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 3: anybody saying, oh do you smell that, not prompting them 510 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: or listening Oh yes, yes, you know, cause you know 511 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 3: to say yes, but stay on their own noticing it 512 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: and commenting on it. 513 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 2: Can we talk about telephone calls? I just want to 514 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 2: share something that one of the listeners told me that 515 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: her dad had a close friend who had passed away. 516 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: And I don't know how long it was after the 517 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: guy had passed away, but this gentleman's cell phone rang 518 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 2: that it was from the guy who died, and of 519 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 2: course he couldn't have dialed it because you know, he 520 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 2: was gone. So he the fella just assumed that, well, 521 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: somebody else must have gotten the number or something like that, 522 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: so he dialed the number back and the number had 523 00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: been disconnected. 524 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 3: Yes, this was just coming in as we were finishing 525 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 3: our researcher where you would have had more on net 526 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 3: regarding cell phones, pagers, and computers, and people have received 527 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 3: messages on your computers and this is not an email 528 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 3: from us, you know us, somebody trying to make them 529 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 3: feel good, or somebody's trying to spoof them. This is 530 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: just a little message for them on a computer. Or 531 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 3: hearing telephone calls. It's not uncommon, it's not the most common, 532 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: but it's the smallest category. But one man wrote a 533 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: whole book on it called Phone Calls from the Dead. 534 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 3: He's a parapsychologist and who I read his book long 535 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: and many years ago. But what it is is imagine 536 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 3: your okay two forms. When is when you're asleep. Now 537 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 3: maybe you can accept it more easily that you're sleeping 538 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: and the phone rings that you hear in your head 539 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 3: and you pick it up and it's your ant parent 540 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 3: or your child or whoever it is. You can accept 541 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 3: that more readily than actually seeing them and person who 542 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 3: are you know during a so called dream, six stage, 543 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 3: ADC or whatever, and you have a two way conversation 544 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 3: with them, buy telephone and hang up, and that's that, okay. 545 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 3: But what about when you're wide awake. Let's say you're 546 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 3: in the kitchen, you're cooking or cleaning up, or some 547 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 3: other room of a house doing whatever you're doing, doesn't matter. 548 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 3: Wherever you are, could be a business even, and the 549 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 3: phone rings, you pick it up, and it's the voice 550 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 3: of your love one who died, and they communicate to you. 551 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 3: They speak to you, and you can have one way 552 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 3: or two way communication with them during this type or 553 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 3: other types of experiences as well, but to one a 554 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 3: two way communication and generally their voice then begins to 555 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 3: fade away and that's the end of it. But there's 556 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: never a hang up or a disconnect sound or a 557 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: dial tone. It just phades away. And in some cases 558 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 3: they can be on a cell phone there it can 559 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 3: show the phone number. But if you die, what that's 560 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 3: not valid or whatever. But we have the whole chapter 561 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 3: in the on phone calls yes. 562 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: What's the most common kind of ADC? 563 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 3: The most common one is perhaps not the most interesting 564 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 3: because it's the hardest to imagine, like you've already felt it. 565 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 3: But it's called feeling or sensing the presence. You just 566 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: feel the person is around you or near you in 567 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 3: your vicinity. And many people can point to where in 568 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 3: the room, like over to my laughter, to my right, 569 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 3: or behind me, and they can report a change in temperature. 570 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 3: Sometimes occasionally the temperature may rise or decline, sometimes drastically. 571 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 3: And they will also know when that's no longer there, 572 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 3: when the person is left. But they'll say, oh, that's it. 573 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 3: Mayory just died, or that's so and so. It's usually 574 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 3: somebody is not quite as close to them, and they say, well, 575 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 3: I'm just you know, I'm upset because I'm thinking about them, 576 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 3: or something like that. So that's why I imagined this. 577 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 3: But really they are feeling it. They know what. But 578 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 3: because in our culture we discard so many things like 579 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 3: that as not real, they throw it away. In other cases, 580 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 3: it's maybe their deceased husband arrived or child. Others can 581 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 3: go on for months and even years, and what we 582 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 3: say is very simply is not that they just want 583 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 3: you to feel their presence. But they're not just letting 584 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 3: you know they're there. There's something you can do right here, 585 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 3: right now when you have that occur, and that is 586 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 3: sit down, relax, relax your body as much as you can, 587 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 3: close your eyes, take a few deep breats, just like 588 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 3: your untermeditation, and open your mind and ask we see 589 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 3: the message. At first, you're, you know, your mind just 590 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 3: turning away, usual mind shatter. But you should in time 591 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 3: receive a message from them, because they want to communicate 592 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 3: with you. Want more than to just give you a 593 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 3: fragrance for you to spell, or a touch or things 594 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 3: like that. They want to communicate something primal. And there's 595 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 3: a whole list of those. I'll be happy to get 596 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 3: into it a minute. But feeling the presence is the 597 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 3: most common, and I would say the sweep States so 598 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 3: called dream is the second was common. Here's the body 599 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 3: analogy because I was doing I have a lot of 600 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 3: time in the works. Now. How hard is it to 601 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 3: get hold of somebody today? You call them on the phone, 602 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 3: you get wife mail, right, you have to send them 603 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 3: an email. You may and may not get back to you. 604 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 3: For a day or two, you call them on and 605 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 3: on and on all these different ways, and yet we're 606 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 3: further apart of me. And the joke is about kids 607 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 3: who can text, and they're doing incessively, But if you 608 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 3: put the same kids in the same room together, they 609 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 3: don't know what to say to each other. And by 610 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: the way, they have no idea what to say with 611 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 3: real words right out of their mouth. And so we're 612 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 3: clos there by texting and tweeting and all this, but 613 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: we're further away from each other in terms of emotionality 614 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,760 Speaker 3: and harsh health words. 615 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, And when I first got into this, I had 616 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 2: so much fear of telling people that I was looking 617 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 2: into life after death and looking for proof, and these 618 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 2: are the things I came up with. Bill. I thought 619 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 2: people were going to think I was crazy, so I 620 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 2: kept my mouth shut. And I think so many people 621 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 2: have had experiences and might be afraid to share. 622 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 3: That was the biggest surprise as we did our research, 623 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 3: because people said to us, I had my experience five years, 624 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 3: ten year, twenty years ago, and you're the first person 625 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 3: I've ever told, or you're the first people we've told 626 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 3: outside of my immediate family or friends, and so many 627 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 3: people said that that I knew our book, if nothing else, 628 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 3: would validate their experiences for each other. And that's why 629 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 3: we chose the format of having three hundred and fifty 630 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 3: three first hand accounts. It's not about Juliet Bill Googianhang, 631 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 3: and I don't care if we have PhDs, He's still 632 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 3: not going to reach more people than by having the 633 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 3: account and the experience's own words, first hand accounts, in 634 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 3: other words, that they can read and a sign for 635 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 3: themselves or these authentic or not. And that's what we 636 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: wanted to do, and that's what we did. And books 637 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 3: are not usually done this way because it's very little 638 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 3: of us in the book, and we're not trying to 639 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 3: be the experts. So this means this, and that means that, 640 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 3: and of course you must believe such and such. We 641 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: wanted their readers to read these accounts and make their 642 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 3: own objective opinion of what they thought it meant. And 643 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 3: I loved as one comment, you know on Amazon, this 644 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 3: guy I said, I believe it was a man who 645 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 3: kept reading a book and then throwing it against the 646 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 3: wall we're discussed, but then started to read it again. 647 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 3: And they said he could put it down well, there's. 648 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 2: Such a battle in our minds. Even as long as 649 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 2: I've been involved with this, you know, little voice in 650 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 2: my head sometimes tells me I'm losing my mind. None 651 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 2: of it happened, you know. I think we all can 652 00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 2: find you know that we fight that negative. 653 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 3: You have to realize what we didn't really elaborate on 654 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 3: because we couldn't in our book, is what we regard 655 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 3: as these types of experiences or near death experiences. It 656 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 3: seems like this as being weird or different or out there, 657 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 3: and they're called parapsychological, paranormal, and other words meaning not 658 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 3: real as far as through science goes. These occur in 659 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 3: other parts of the world, such as Central and South America, 660 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 3: parts of Europe, the Far East, especially in the Philippines, 661 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 3: where people have these experiences at night, will say share 662 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 3: them with their friends and family members the next day, 663 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 3: openly and easily, and they're accepted fully. We're the ones 664 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 3: was blinders on. We're the ones that don't accept what 665 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 3: the rest of the world does accept. And it's all 666 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 3: because our whole society is so scientifically oriented. It goes 667 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 3: back to the Sun revolves around the Earth, and that 668 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 3: was disproven and this was a disclimer, and that was 669 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 3: this route, and science gradually ascended be the master of 670 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 3: the truth. And if science obayed it was true, and 671 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 3: it didn't, Okay, it wasn't true. 672 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 2: Isn't that the truth? Wow? We're going to go into 673 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 2: our last break, and when we come back, we'll hear 674 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 2: a few more words from the wonderful Bill Guggenheim, remembering 675 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 2: his work and remembering his life.

I'm Sandra Champlain, 689 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 2: a dear friend of mine says we are only dead 690 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 2: if we are forgotten. Bill Guggenheim passed with a great book, 691 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 2: Hello from Heaven. In it are so many different accounts 692 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 2: of great reasons and signs that you can believe in 693 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 2: the afterlife. It's been te translated into many languages. He 694 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 2: has spoken on the topic, not just to me, but 695 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 2: so many others. Take a look on YouTube. Type in 696 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 2: Bill Guggenheim. See who this wonderful man is. And I 697 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 2: say is because he is still working, no doubt on 698 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 2: behalf of humanity from the other side. Bill going to 699 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 2: raise a glass and toast you. A little bit later, 700 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 2: I'd like to continue on with just a few more 701 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 2: words from Bill. He was just talking about science and 702 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 2: if science can't believe something, we human beings tend not 703 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 2: to believe. 704 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 3: And if science obayed it was true, if he didn't, okay, 705 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 3: it wasn't true. And now the latest thing is is 706 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 3: consciousness located in the brain or is it out outside 707 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 3: of the brain? Non local consciousness? Whereas consciousness existing, we 708 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 3: don't realize we all were raised with the same religion. 709 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 3: I'm not saying we're Catholics or products and Jews or whatever. 710 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 3: There's another religion we were raised with from first grade 711 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 3: or preschool on right through college and PhDs, and that 712 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 3: is science. Science is a way of looking at Earth, 713 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,959 Speaker 3: life on Earth and evaluating it in a certain way. 714 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 3: And it's fine for physical matter, I'm not disputing it, 715 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 3: and energy in those things, but it's no good for 716 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 3: these areas and that. Yet we attribute it as being 717 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 3: intallible and having the last word and everything. And so 718 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 3: we're the ones who are starving and fearful about death. 719 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 3: I hear from the many Hawsess people, how many people 720 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 3: die hanging on to life with their fingernails because of 721 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 3: their religion and science. They're afraid that they're going to 722 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 3: go to hell or to oblivion, one or the other. 723 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 3: You know, right, that's a scary way to Yes, it is. 724 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 3: And they look at and they act it and they 725 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 3: speak it if they can speak, and that's the way 726 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 3: they leave this planet, leave this life. They don't have to. 727 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,879 Speaker 3: That's between science and some performs the religious belief. That's 728 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 3: what there's not's with typically though, let me give you 729 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 3: the positive. The positive is that many people, even if 730 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 3: they've been in a coma well for a few moments 731 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 3: before they make their transition, they open their eyes, they 732 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 3: sit up, they're smiling. They will sometimes mentioned or a 733 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 3: point or indicate that their deceased loved one or one 734 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 3: or more loved ones are present and have a big 735 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 3: smile and in a way saying I'll be with you 736 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 3: in a moment. And then they take their last breath 737 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 3: and they're gone, that they have a whole welcoming committee 738 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 3: waiting for them and escorting them to the light. 739 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,760 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 740 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 3: A lot has happened since Elizabeth Koper Lobster did her research, 741 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 3: and the books on near death experiences and our book 742 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 3: Allow from Heaven and all the other books when after 743 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 3: deathrification as they said earlier, and someone out of body experiences, 744 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 3: and the number of celebrities that have come forward shared 745 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 3: of their experiences in popular media. All these are kipping 746 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 3: away at this really agnostic or atheistic viewpoint that there 747 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 3: ain't no more and there sure is. 748 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 2: How many people would you say, have these experiences more 749 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 2: people than not? Or do you have any idea? 750 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 3: Yes? There was a poll conducted that indicates before we 751 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 3: ever began our work, and indicated that it was around 752 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 3: forty three forty four percent of all Americans have had 753 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 3: one and after death communication experience. Now that's if you 754 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 3: include all the population about now over three hundred million, 755 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 3: you're speaking about one hundred and twenty five million people. 756 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 3: About a third I'm going to say a third conservatively 757 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 3: has had one a third of the population. But then 758 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 3: take into account many people have never been to RIDD 759 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 3: certainly young yes, and many older people there's never been 760 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 3: that close to somebody who's died. Maybe it was a grandparent, 761 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 3: but they just weren't that close to that grandparents or whoever, 762 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: so they haven't dealt with this. Or if they had 763 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 3: somebody who come back, they wouldn't have recognized him more. 764 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 3: It would have blown it off very easily. Wow, just 765 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 3: just discounted it. And that's sad, but it's the way 766 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 3: it is. 767 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 2: I know I've spoken to people and they've heard stories 768 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,280 Speaker 2: of other people that get these communications. Is there something 769 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 2: people can do to increase their chances? I mean, I 770 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 2: know you said to be open, and I do think 771 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 2: having a quiet mind, and like you said, asking for 772 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 2: communication is important. But is there anything we can do 773 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 2: or pay attention to differently to help have one. 774 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 3: What I say is, first of all, ask asking is 775 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 3: a former prayer if you like that word or not. 776 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 3: But asking is a form of being open. You're admitting 777 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 3: you there's something more you would like, So ask the 778 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 3: person we'd like to hear from to come back to 779 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 3: you in some form. So just playing to ask. But 780 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 3: this this sincerity, not just off the top of your head. Okay, 781 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 3: try with to me. No whe the cynical by it. 782 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear that's going to happen. 783 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 3: Now you pray with to me and maybe i'll maybe 784 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,399 Speaker 3: maybe maybe I'll consider No, not's not asking, I mean 785 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 3: asking was it be sincere or open loving heart? And 786 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 3: maybe they want to give a message to somebody else 787 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 3: and offered to be a service to them, to give 788 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 3: a message to maybe their spouse or another child or 789 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 3: whoever it may be. But asking is a form of 790 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 3: being open, and it's a form of prayer, and it 791 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 3: creates an openness in your mind, in your emotions, and 792 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 3: you're in the possible for what is possible. Because that's 793 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 3: what we're talking about, what is possible. It's amazing as 794 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 3: they say that, I know atheists and foxhols, well here 795 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 3: nobody has to be an atheist or agnostics. So you 796 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 3: don't have to tell anybody if it doesn't happen, or 797 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 3: even if it does happen, you don't have to tell anybody. 798 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 3: Let's see what happens now. The other thing is, which 799 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 3: is very positive. Yes, learn how to meditate. 800 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 2: Meditation does take time, but quieting your mind and just 801 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 2: being in that present moment of mindfulness you can do 802 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 2: it in a second. Like I said in the beginning, 803 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 2: being present to your feelings is the entryway for so much. 804 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 2: And as Bill said, ask Bill was kind enough to 805 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 2: send me a beautiful laminated sheet called who Do You 806 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 2: Think You Are?
