Speaker 1: your show. Now, how did a great postmaster get involved

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: in the afterlife a great postmaster? I was a great postmaster, Yes,

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: you were. You know it all happened. It was just

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing way it happened. I went through you know,

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: I actually left the post post office during a dark

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: night of my soul, and and that's when an all

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: star arted. Um it was. It was. It's just an

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: amazing thing that happened. So later in life, what happened

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: to you, Well, I had, Um, I went through a

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: mass depression. Um, you know, I was. It was. It

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: was a whole fifty one years old. It wasn't fifty

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: it was fifty one, because now I was in my fifties,

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, and I went through I became, you know,

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: very overweight, I was fighting with people, had made massive

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: anxiety attacks, making family members miserable. Became obsessed with dying.

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: And with that you just had to study everything you

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: could get your hands on. I bet, yeah, well that's

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: that's what was going on. I mean, I realized that that, um,

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: nobody in my family had made it past sixty years

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: old as far as the males males go, and and

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: I just got obsessed and it's extremely depressed. And I

30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: went to a psychiatrist and I was diagnosed with severe

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: depression disorder. And of course the psychiatrist, you know, gave

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: me the usual medication and that didn't work. And of

33
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: course when I called the psychiatrist back, what do you

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: think they did? They doubled my dough. Of course they did, right,

35
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: and uh, and so you know, I knew I had

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to do something else. And so I decided that I

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: was going to get into the yoga and meditation because

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: my son was into that. And that's how that's how

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: it all started. We could talk to a horse about

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: the post office. We'll get into that at a later time,

41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: it'll be a different show. My father, Albert, lasted until

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: he was eighty eight. His dad died at fifty and

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I could remember when my dad was fifty, getting close

44
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: to that age. Well, how strange he was beginning to act.

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he actually thought he was going

46
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: to go at fifty two because he looked at his father.

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: His father dies at fifty. He's going to die. It's

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: a genetic right, he thinks. And then um, once he

49
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: got the fifty one and then fifty two and fifty

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: three and realized, hey, I'm not going to die this early.

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep going. And he made it until

52
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: he was eighty eight years old. But it was on

53
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: his mind for a long time, you know it. It

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: was on my mind a lot. And and what really

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: made me take the step into into getting rid of

56
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: it was was, you know, my two sons. I was like, well,

57
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's not fair to them to see me

58
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: like this, because I was I was mentioning in a lot,

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, you know, I can't put

60
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: this on them. Yeah, you know, I didn't want my

61
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: sons to think that they weren't going to make it

62
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: past a certain age, and I said, you know that.

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: At that point, he said, you know what, I got

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: to do something and to change my life. And that's

65
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: what I did. And at what point did you decide

66
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: to write The Enlightened Road? Well, I took the What

67
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: happened was my one of my best friends who he

68
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: worked in He lived in Brooklyn, New York. He got

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: he retired, and he got a job out in Vegas

70
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and he flew out and he decided that he needed

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: somebody to drive his car out from him. Now this

72
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: was back in twenty twenty and right in the middle

73
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: of COVID of course. Yeah. And so for years I

74
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: would take my vacations to international places. If it wasn't

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: the Caribbean Ocean, it wasn't a vacation to me. I

76
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: never never, you know, the US never. Just seemed to

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: be one one of my places that I wanted a vacation.

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: And so I made him a deal. I said, I'll

79
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: take your car out to Vegas if you give it

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: to me, if you give it to me to two weeks,

81
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: and I go on a on a little road trip.

82
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how it all started. Well, Las

83
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Vegas is not a bad place for a little road trip. Absolutely,

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: and then when you started, when you were writing the book,

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: you gathered a lot of information. I mean you've gone

86
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: through a past life regression and everything else. You found

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: out that you were somebody else in a different life

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: named Anton. Yeah, you learned a lot. I mean, how

89
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: much since since the days you were afraid of die

90
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: in it or obsessed with dying, how much have you

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: come up, come come on and learned? It was a massive,

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: massive awakening. Um, you know it's it started with just meditating.

93
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: And when I took that journey the day I left

94
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: and I crushed into you know, out into the western

95
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: parts of Pennsylvania, and I started seeing the scenery change.

96
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: My meditations just just changed. Um. I was seeing, I

97
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: was stopping at places and I would get out and

98
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: I was meditating without even realizing it, and I was

99
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: seeing things that I never saw before, and smelling things

100
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: I never saw before. I would look at at you know,

101
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: this giant forest of trees that spread out past the mountains,

102
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: and I would imagine them as oceans. And then as

103
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: I was meditating, I would start to smell the ocean,

104
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: start to hear seagulls, and I was like, what what's

105
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: come on? You know it was. It was just a

106
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: massive change in me and that's you know, that's how

107
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: you know, those meditations, through those meditations, throughout that journey,

108
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, made everything more intense. And uh, I was

109
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: able to find out certain things about my life. I'm

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: going to be in So don't I Arizona in a

111
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960

Speaker 1: to seeing you there, and they definitely come up to me.

115
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: But you were You went through a hypnosis, didn't you

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: out there? Yes? I did, Um, there was, Uh, there's somebody,

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: Well it was through somebody that's been on your show before,

118
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: Susanne Ross. Oh sure, she just was on great person.

119
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: And this is how my whole thing started. Actually it was.

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: It was through the synchronicities that I had while I

121
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: was at home, when I was learning how to how

122
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: to meditate, I was looking for better ways to do it.

123
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: I just wasn't doing it well. And I started looking

124
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: at some books, um, some videos, and I found her

125
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: book Rise Up, and I fell in love with the book.

126
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: It had all the science and math and stuff that

127
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: I was still that logical person, so it kind of

128
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't tuned with that stuff, but it explained the meditations.

129
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: And what happened was when I was booking my trip,

130
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: I booked a I booked a little spiritual tour in

131
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Sedona because I knew I was gonna end my trip

132
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: in Sedona, and and it was through this company and

133
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: I was as a man named Mark I booked with

134
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: because I really liked his videos. And about two weeks

135
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: before the trip, I called up to make sure everything

136
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: was still going on because of COVID, and they told

137
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: me Mark had to cancel. But we had this this

138
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: this this other person that can do your tour with

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: Your name is Susanna. I said, okay, great, and uh

140
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: and so I started looking up, you know, her videos,

141
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: and lo and behold it was Susanne Ross of all

142
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: the this is crazy, you know, and and you know

143
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: it went on from there. We've become very good friends.

144
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: And and when I got to Sedona, um, she helped

145
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: me with. I told us some things that were going

146
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: on in my life as far as visions I was

147
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: having when I was sleeping and dreaming, and uh, and

148
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: meditating and we did a little hypnotic regression and she

149
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: helped me figure some things out. And apparently you had

150
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: a past life as Anton who was he Well, I'm

151
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: an actually an ancient Roman gladiator reenactors, right, And so

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: it's something that's rare in the United States. You know,

153
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: in the United States, you have a ton of Civil

154
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: War reenactors. Um. In Europe it's the same amount of

155
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Roman renactors and so UM, through a bunch of a

156
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: bunch of of of coincidences, I got into this ancient

157
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Roman reenacting and um, when I met the people that

158
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: actually started this Roman reenacting thing, they had this this

159
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: net and tried and set up and they when I

160
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: went to go meet them, they told me, Um, nobody,

161
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is the armor that we use. We

162
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, we fight with this. We we we show this,

163
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: but we leave that net and tried it there because

164
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: it's very hard to use. And the first day I

165
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: met these guys, I picked up the net and tried

166
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: it and I started. I just it automatically came to

167
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: me and they were like, you gotta be kidding me.

168
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: And we put on a whole a whole four hours

169
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: show throughout the day with me as using this net

170
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: and tried it and I realized now it was muscle memory,

171
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and I've been doing this for years now. And what

172
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: happened was I was having these visions in my dreams

173
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: and in my meditations of this man with with long

174
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: blonde hair just you would just walk by me and

175
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: just stare and just keep going. And so when I

176
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: when I met with Suzanne, we decided that she did

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: a hypnotic regression on me. And it turned out that

178
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: through this regression, I was able to to pull myself

179
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: through this like portal and I found myself on the

180
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: sands of the Rener in Rome and looking face to

181
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: face with this man and he actually told me his name.

182
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: He said, my name is Anton. We are Anton. Let's

183
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: get to work. And I was like wow, and then

184
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: I get sucked back in and it was just an

185
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: amazing experience. And I realized then that's why everything came

186
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: so easy for me as far as the Roman reenactment goes,

187
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: because I've done this before. Albert, what have you learned

188
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: about the afterlife with these episodes? As far as the afterlife? Yeah,

189
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you think of it? Well?

190
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: I believe now that that there is something out there.

191
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: You know, I always wondered, I was always skeptical, skeptical, Um,

192
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: I know now that there is there is something. And

193
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: what you know, I always always also believed about time

194
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: being not linear. You know that there's a possibility that

195
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: time right now is is Everything is happening now, Everything

196
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: that will happen is happening now. Everything that did happen

197
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: is happening now. And what this whole experience that did

198
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: for me was made me become a better person. Because

199
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: if that's the case, and this person Anton is my

200
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: past life, then there's a possibility that I'm his past life.

201
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: Sure he's become my higher self, and to me that

202
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: means maybe I'm his higher self. And so that's a

203
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: big responsibility. And so it's made me become a better person,

204
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: and I always think about that when I'm making decisions.

205
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Did you like him when you met him in this

206
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: in this this momentum, Yes? And no? Really what was

207
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: to know? For? Well? I liked them because I've been

208
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: yearning to meet him and I knew. I knew the

209
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: second that it happened, the second that I that I

210
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: envisioned Rome when we went on on his journey and

211
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I saw him on the arena. I said, this is

212
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: I know, this is it. You know, I know this

213
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: is him. What I didn't like was the fact that

214
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: he controlled everything. And I'm a very you know, I'm

215
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: a control for you to. Yeah, I didn't like the

216
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: fact that everything that happened was because of because he

217
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: made it happen. And I kind of, you know, during

218
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: my trip or turn trip back to Sedona, after there's

219
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: an initial trip, I had an experience where I controlled

220
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: the situation, and so that that's one of the reasons

221
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: why I didn't like it. I didn't like the fact

222
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: that he controlled everything. Listen to more Coast to Coast
