1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: I was maybe six ft above my body looking back 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: at myself, but the me that was floating felt like 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: the real me. And I looked back at myself and 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: I saw my body laying there, and it was like 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: looking at a photograph. Hello, and welcome to this week's 6 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: edition of Cash and the Creepies. Today, I welcome Graham Nichols, 7 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: expert on out of body experiences, author and board member 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: at the Rhyme Research Center. Thank you so much for 9 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: being here. Thanks for being my podcast. Great to be here. 10 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, really fascinated with out of body experiences. Well, 11 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: let me this is something I ask every guest. Do 12 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: you believe in the supernatural? I tend to see it 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: as the natural, I guess I tend to see it 14 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: as an extension of the natural, if you like, So, 15 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily call it supernatural, but yeah, that works too, 16 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, what would you call it? Just like it's 17 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: the natural part of things that we can't see. Yeah, 18 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: I just think it's that we haven't fully understood everything 19 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: that's possible in the world yet. That's kind of how 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: I tend to look at it, Like our brains can't 21 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: comprehend it. Now. I just think sort of scientifically. I 22 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: guess we call things supernatural until we scientifically understand it, 23 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: and then we just call it the natural because I 24 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: guess if you go back in history, we used to 25 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: call anything that was sort of unusual. We used to 26 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: call getting ill supernatural, didn't we because we people used 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: to say it was like a spirit taking over your 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: body or something, and that's what being sick was or 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: something like that. So I guess how I tend to 30 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: look at it now is that um as we start 31 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: to understand all those things, it just becomes a part 32 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: of our understanding of the world. I guess we have 33 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: different opinions on how the world works, from religion to 34 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: science too, parapsychology and all those kinds of things so 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: interesting because I feel like I find this supernatural. That's 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: just like the most umbrella term for what I'm fascinated 37 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: in is the stuff that is not yet explainable or 38 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: just like you can't really see it. It's intangible. You 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: can't hold it, and maybe you can't prove it scientifically, 40 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: but you feel it. And once you feel something or 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: you see like an apparition or for me, I've seen 42 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: like lights in the sky, like I've seen it. You 43 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: can't really explain it when I try to. I'm aware 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: that it sounds crazy as all hell, but I saw it, 45 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: so it's real. Yeah, I think I think we can 46 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: probably deal with these things scientifically. That's the interesting thing. 47 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: I tend to. I tend to be quite drawn to 48 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: the science, and I want to I want to do 49 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: our body experiences and explore ghosts and apparitions and all 50 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: those kinds of things in the context of science, and 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: then kind of maybe one day we'll kind of see 52 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: those things as normal in it. I think so too, 53 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: And that's like why I love science. I love science. 54 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: So something that you're an expert at out of body experiences? 55 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: What is an out of body experience? Okay? So, and 56 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: our body experience, from my perspective, is probably when your 57 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: consciousness or you could call it a spirit or something 58 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: like that just depends on how you look at it, 59 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: but I think it's when your consciousness experiences the world 60 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: from a vantage point or a place away from your 61 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: physical body. So it's literally like I feel like me, 62 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: everything about me is normal, but I might be floating 63 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: above myself looking back at my body. Like my very 64 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: first experience I was maybe six ft above my body 65 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: looking back at myself. Um, but the me that was 66 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: floating felt like the real meat. And I looked back 67 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: at myself and I saw my body laying there, and 68 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: it was like looking at a photograph. It would it 69 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: look like me. Everything about it was kind of me. 70 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: But then at the same time, it didn't feel like 71 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: that was the real meat. It felt like the one 72 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: floating was the real meat. So that's kind of what 73 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: it's like. It's literally like your sense of self, everything 74 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: that you identify as you is not associated with your body. 75 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: It's another location. So you can travel anywhere in the world. 76 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: Theoretically it doesn't always work out quite like that, but 77 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: you can go to different locations all around the world, 78 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: and you can even go into other levels of reality basically. 79 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: So it's it allowed allows you to directly experience and 80 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: explore what it is to be a spiritual being or 81 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: what the spiritual actually means or the supernatural actually means. 82 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: You can have direct experience of it. So that's what 83 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: I see it as. Okay, so when you're the first 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: time this happened, how old we are. The first time 85 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: it ever happened was a spontaneous experience when I was 86 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: twelve um and that one only lasted a few seconds, 87 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: and I found myself maybe half a mile from where 88 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: I lived, and I was just above the ground. I 89 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: wasn't asleep when it happened or anything like that. I 90 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: was just relaxing, and suddenly it was like a click, 91 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: and I found myself at this other location, floating above 92 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: the ground, basically like a kind of living ghost. It 93 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: was just floating there in the middle of the street. 94 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: Was kind of like, what the hell is happening? And 95 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: then it kind of ended almost as quickly as it started. 96 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: But then I heard that there was this thing called 97 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: out a Body Experiences about a year later, and that 98 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: was when I learned to do it kind of devoted 99 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: myself too in my mind, which I've never experienced this, 100 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: but I think I've had, like I've had some weird 101 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: feelings like that. It's usually like right when I'm falling 102 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: asleep or meditating where I feel very much like It's 103 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: not a very glamorous way to put it, but this 104 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: is just how I saw it. Like our body, like 105 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: our skin is like the housing for the like cosmos 106 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: that live inside of us, like the spirit and so 107 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: it's kind of gross, but this is like what I 108 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: have deduced non scientifically, but it's like the sausage casing, 109 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: but instead of sausage inside, it's my soul. Does that 110 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: make sense? That's a good way for it. But like 111 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: the soul that's inside this theoretical spiritual sausage that's floating 112 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: to me, that's like who you really are. And then 113 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: like I feel like having actually like your spirit and 114 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: your body come together. That's like being present in this 115 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: life on this plane. But I have a lot of 116 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: times where I will like look in the mirror and 117 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: be like, oh, ship, I forgot that's what you're Your 118 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: housing looks like, Like I'll totally forget what I look 119 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: like until I see a mirror and I'm like, oh, well, 120 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: so very much like understand the spirit being a separate 121 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: entity than the body, but having them be in two 122 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: separate locations is something I've never experienced. So like, when 123 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: that happened to you, were you thinking about this place? 124 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: Did you like this street? Or you just showed up 125 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: on a street floating just some random near to where 126 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: I went to school. So I think probably the reason 127 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: I went there was because it was somewhere kind of 128 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: familiar to me, somewhere that I sort of knew well, um, 129 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: and maybe I had an emotional connection to it. I 130 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: think often where you go in the out body experiences 131 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: is to do with how emotionally linked you are to 132 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: that place. Sometimes not always, but I think the majority 133 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: of the times that's kind of how it happens. So 134 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: in that first experience, I went there probably because it 135 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: was familiar to me and known to me and that 136 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Um, And did it freak you out? 137 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: It did freak me out. Yeah, I didn't know, not 138 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: not hugely, because I guess rewinding a bit. When I 139 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: was about five and early in my life I had 140 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: apparition experiences and things like that. So I've had other 141 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: God tell me about that and go on, you can't 142 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: just like pass over that, okay girl, m okay. Well 143 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: that that was basically the first paranormal supernatural thing that 144 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: ever happen. And I was five years old. I were 145 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: around that age. I basically woke up in the night, 146 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: went into the hallway of the flat that I grew 147 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: up in, um, and basically in the hallway there was 148 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: this tall figure. It filled the entire kind of height 149 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: of the doorway that kind of led out of the flat. Um. 150 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: It looked quite inhuman in a sense. It was humanoid, 151 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: but it had it's really hard to kind of describe it. 152 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: It was just very otherworldly. It kind of almost I 153 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: guess now I would probably say something almost like a 154 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: shaman or shamanic something like that, kind of almost like 155 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: it was wearing a kind of costume or something of 156 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: that description. Um. And I just sort of looked at it, 157 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: and that really terrified me. Obviously, I've never seen anything 158 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: like it. I remember going down onto the ground because 159 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: it sort of gave me some solidity, and then turned 160 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: around to try and sort of call out to my parents, UM, 161 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: but I was too scared. I couldn't make any sound, basically. 162 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: And then I looked back and it was still there 163 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: and disappeared or anything, and it just and then kind 164 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: of around it. There seemed to be almost like a 165 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: suggestion that it was like standing on a threshold. It 166 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: was almost like there was an opening to some of 167 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: her reality or something behind it. So it was a 168 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: really crazy experience. I don't know how how else to 169 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: put it in terrified you want to go? Did you 170 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: want to go into this other realm because I would, well, 171 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: maybe not at five, but like today, i'd be like, 172 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go into there. But I guess at 173 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: five years old, I probably wouldn't feel the way. Yeah, 174 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: at five, I was just scared. But but then when 175 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: the outer body experiences happened, it was something that I 176 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: really wanted to explore. So that's when I got hold 177 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: of a book on the subject, and then I literally 178 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: I decided to dedicate a year because I read that 179 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: it took a long time to learn often, so I 180 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: decided to dedicate a year to systematically learning to have 181 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: um have those experiences. So it actually took me six months, 182 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: but I I practiced every single night for that whole period. 183 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know where that dedication came from. This 184 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: is like thirteen and a half fourteen, But I just 185 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: really wanted to do it. Okay, I have so many questions. Okay, 186 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: so the first time it happened kind of freaky quick. 187 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: But then you're like, I want to go into this. 188 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: I want to learn how to do it and dive 189 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: into it. How does how do you begin to teach 190 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: yourself to have an out of body experience? Do you 191 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: train yourself? Is it like like training on muscles at 192 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: like vocal training, Like how do you just have to practice? 193 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: You just have to It's kind of like self hypnosis. 194 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: I guess what I did was I went and I 195 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: found a book on subject. But the only book I 196 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: could find was quite scientific, So it was more saying, ah, 197 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: these experiences real That was more where it was coming from. 198 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: But in the back of the book it had a 199 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: few really simple techniques. The technique was just that you 200 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: imagined you were floating on a cloud basically, and you 201 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: had to keep imagining that. The idea was that eventually 202 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: it would sort of trigger your unconscious mind to realize 203 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: that that's what you're trying to do. You're trying to 204 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: have an outward experience. Luckily we have much better techniques 205 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: than that now, but at the time that was all 206 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: I had. So I worked with this technique over and over, 207 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 1: did it every single night, and then eventually, yeah, it 208 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: led to this. Uh. I was almost at the point 209 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: of giving up. Actually, I was kind of like, this 210 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: isn't this isn't working. This is kind of like I've 211 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: been doing this for months, if there's no point it's 212 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: not going to work. I was sort of really disillusioned 213 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: with it, and then so I sort of let go, 214 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: and I wasn't sort of tensing up. I was sort 215 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: of trying to make it happen anymore. I just sort 216 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: of let go. And when I let go, it just 217 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: like this huge energy went through me, which was a 218 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: very positive energy. It felt very good. It was like 219 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: a kind of just huge release of tension and stress 220 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: and everything. It was just all kind of surge through me. 221 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: And then I just that was when I found myself 222 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: above my body, looking at the what looked like a 223 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: photograph of myself. It was very still and kind of 224 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: didn't seem alive in a sense, whereas the me that 225 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: was outside of my body felt full of energy. It 226 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: was almost like there was energy radiating off my body. 227 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: The whole room was kind of lit up from the energy. UM, 228 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: and I couldn't move very much. It was quite limited 229 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: in that first experience. It was almost like I could 230 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: only rotate kind of sort of like that. But um. 231 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I just felt completely alive 232 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: and completely energized. And then I came back to my 233 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: body and I was just Yeah. From that point on, 234 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: it was like the floodgates opened and I was like, 235 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: I could do it pretty much whenever I want it. Then, 236 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: like you could do it. I'm not going to ask 237 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: you to, but like if you wanted to, you could 238 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: like go and do that, Like after we have a chat, 239 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you can go have an out of body experience. Well, 240 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: there's a tend to I tend to say, when the 241 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: conditions are right. So if you if you think about, um, 242 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: something like being creative for example, when you know, when 243 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: when you feel like you can do artwork or do 244 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: something like that and you just feel like you're in 245 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: that right head space kind of thing, I tend to 246 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: think it's similar to like being in the zone, you know. Um, So, 247 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: so yeah, if I'm in the right kind of condition 248 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: and everything feels right, then yeah, I can do it. 249 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: But sometimes you just you know, like with anything you 250 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: don't feel quite right and it doesn't doesn't work. But 251 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, most of the time when it's kind of 252 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: feeling right, if I force it, if I try sort 253 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: of too hard, odd than the quality of the experience 254 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: will be quite lowing quality. But if I allow it, yes, 255 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: then it's better. I think that's true in just life 256 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: in general. I've started approaching life in general exactly what 257 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: you just said, where you stop trying, Like I do 258 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: believe that hard work and practicing something can help develop 259 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: a skill, but I do think when you try to 260 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: force something that's just unforceable, like an experience like that, 261 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: or even making like a really like for me, as 262 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: making a song that's like really emotional, Like I can 263 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: sit there and try all day, but you never know 264 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: when it's going to come. It almost comes when you 265 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: stop trying so damn hard, which is so hard to 266 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: stop trying when you're like, no, but I've tasted the magic. 267 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: I want to have it, but you have to. So 268 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: I've started looking at life like it like a wild 269 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: tiger and I'm a cat lover. I don't know if 270 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: this is going to make any sense, but in my mind, 271 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: it's like you have to, like you can't be thirsty 272 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: for the magic, like if they're going to interact with you, 273 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is, like the universe, God, energy, the wild tiger, 274 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: whatever it is, you can't want it too bad because 275 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: I feel like you want something too bad that energy 276 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: repels whatever it is that you want so badly, and 277 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: like you said, when you have to kind of let 278 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: go of it and just allow it to happen. That's 279 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: when the really magical stuff happens. I think, in my opinion, 280 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: I agree, and I think that's actually one of the 281 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: key secrets without body experiences. I think if someone is 282 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: trying to learn, they need to maintain a kind of 283 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: positive mental attitude. They need to be really kind of excited, 284 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: look at it like they're exploring and trying to, you know, 285 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: to discover something new and keep that kind of openness 286 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: and that excitement, and if they do that, then the 287 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: experience will unfold quite naturally. But um what, unfortunately, what 288 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: most people do is they tend to kind of get 289 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: this idea of the word projection. I did it myself. 290 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: I had this idea that it was all about will 291 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: power and projection and you know, I had to kind 292 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: of make it happen kind of thing. And I think 293 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: that's completely the wrong way to think about it. So 294 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: when I let go of that, that's when the experiences 295 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: really started happening. So now I tend to allow the 296 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: experiences to happen when everything feels really right and good, 297 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: and I'll just see where it goes. So I kind 298 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: of go with the flow a lot more. Now. I 299 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: love that I'm writing down and allow it. I feel 300 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: like that's like the name of the game of my 301 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: life right now. I'm just every time I don't know 302 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: what I'm doing or what to do, I'm just like 303 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start trying to figure it out. I'm gonna 304 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: sit back, I'm gonna allow it to play out. But 305 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: I have like a super open heart, which also leads 306 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: me to being super fucking gullible but trying to like 307 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: find those boundaries in my life. But I yeah, allowing 308 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: it to happen, which I'm such a control freak because 309 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: I go like O, C, D, D H, you name it. 310 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm just like have so much wild energy. So just 311 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: like sitting back and allowing things to happen does not 312 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: necessarily come naturally to me, Like I like to get 313 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: ship done and do it. I think the thing is, 314 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: I think you can explore all these things and explore 315 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: these avenues of how life and these kinds of experiences 316 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: where they take you, um, But I think it's just 317 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: being open to letting them take you somewhere. So you're 318 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: being active in that sense, but you're not trying to 319 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: say I have to go down this avenue or I 320 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: have to do this particular thing, you're kind of allowing 321 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: the experience to kind of take you in a particular direction. 322 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: To give an example, in my EARLI out of body experiences, 323 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: I was often trying to I had this idea that 324 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: I needed to perfect everything, so I needed to be 325 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: able to move and control every movement that I made 326 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: and be completely in control of the experience. And so 327 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: actually just going across the room in a straight line 328 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: was really difficult. There's people tend to experience. They often 329 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: call them astral tides. So it's almost like this energy 330 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: that kind of moves through the space, and as you're 331 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: trying to move, it can kind of make you drift 332 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: in a different direction or something like that, and I 333 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: I would try to go against that. I would try 334 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: and go against the grain and try to say no, 335 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: I want to go from here to that, and and 336 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: doing that actually led me to waste a lot of 337 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: amazing experiences. If I'd actually let myself go with that tide, 338 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: or go with that energy and just see where I go, 339 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: then it probably would have materialized into an amazing experience. 340 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: But I was too caught up in controlling it that 341 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: I was kind of missing the forest for the trees 342 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: a little bit in those early days, but then I 343 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: just started allowing the experiences to unfold, and then I 344 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: would find myself, I don't know, in Cuba or like, 345 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: you know, complete all different parts of the world, or 346 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: or even in like these other levels of reality. They 347 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: seem to be you know, like um beautiful natural environments 348 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: that very much like what people describe in sort of 349 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: heavenly type things. And then you know, all different kinds 350 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: of experiences and situations where I would seemed to see 351 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: something from the past or see something from the future, 352 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: these kinds of things. So the experience is just completely 353 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: open to so many possibilities. Really, so do you think 354 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: it's almost like a little bit of time travel because 355 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: time is relative little like inter dement Chanel Just like 356 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm trying to wrap my brain around it, because this 357 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: is something I really have no experience with, but it 358 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: just kind of sounds like when you let go of 359 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: your physical constraint of your body, you can kind of 360 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: go anywhere, but you have to ride the astral tie. 361 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm writing that down to that's going in a song. 362 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: I've never heard that before, and I love it is. 363 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: They're all gonna be like tattooed on my foot and 364 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: like a song, so very inspiring. But like, have you 365 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: ever been to Cuba in your body? Or just see that? Ye? 366 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: See that? Actually, that experience I was thinking of was 367 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: connected to someone who was very close to my family. 368 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: It was from Cuba, um, and she died, and quite 369 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: soon after she died. It was literally the last thing 370 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: I've written in my diary. I had an outabuny experience 371 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: and I went to Cuba. I worked out it was 372 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: Cuba because of the way it looked from above and 373 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: like all you know, the the coastal imagery and all 374 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: of that kind of thing. And I worked out where 375 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: I was, and I was thinking, why have I been 376 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: drawn to Cuba? But then I opened my diary, which 377 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: I have kept a diary since it was fourteen of 378 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: most of my experiences. UM, so I started. I opened 379 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: it to write this experience down, and there was the 380 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: entry about the death of the family friend. And then 381 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: I realized us she was born in Cuba, And suddenly 382 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: it all kind of made sense that it was almost like, um, 383 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: it was almost like a connection with her, or some 384 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: kind of message from her, if you like, or something 385 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 1: like that. So interesting is there a world where it's like, 386 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: because I've done some hypnosis before but never reached what 387 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about, But is there science that backs out 388 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: of body experience? I just like, I have no idea. Well, 389 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: actually that's something I'm really passionate about as well. Um 390 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: there is there are some researchers who have done work 391 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: in the past. Um there was a guy called Alex 392 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: Tennis who did research in the sort of eighties and 393 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: with a research of all Carlos osis from that VIEA 394 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: and they did experiments where they tried to sort of 395 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: he would try to go and see targets and things 396 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: like that. And then there's a researcher in Italy at 397 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: the moment called Patricio Trisoldi who is doing research same 398 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: kind of thing, looking at seeing targets and things like that. 399 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: And then the Rhyme Research Center. I've done research with 400 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: them looking at trying to again trying to see targets 401 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: and things like that at a distance. So we did 402 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: like about in weeks of different targets and things, and 403 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: then I would try to have an experience or I 404 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: tried different techniques not just outable the experiences. I tried 405 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: to remote viewing. I tried different methodologies. I used sensory deprivation, 406 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: mild sensory deprivation, all different things. UM. I have used tanks. 407 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: In that particular instance, I used gangs felt, which is 408 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: where you wear kind of headphones that play white noise 409 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: or pink noise, and then you have kind of ping 410 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: pong balls over your eyes, like half pink pom balls. 411 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: So and then you have a red light in your eyes. 412 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: The reason for this is it the red light make 413 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: sure pupils dilate. But then you can only see this 414 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: uniform red glow because of the dome over your eyes. 415 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: And then what happens is your brain starts looking for information, 416 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: so you start getting psychic information coming in. UM. So 417 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: it's a way that you can take a very ordinary 418 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: person off the street and give them a mild psychic experience. 419 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: So they've used it in a lot of research. So 420 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: that's really interesting to me. So if you take the 421 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: average person, do you think every person has some sort 422 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: of psychic ability? Yeah, basically yes, because I think so 423 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: too the same way I think every person is an 424 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: artist if they allow themselves to explore the avenue. But 425 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: I guess I would a wonder like what was produced 426 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: by all of these things you did? Well? It shows 427 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: what they do is they create a statistic on how 428 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:48,479 Speaker 1: accurate it was. And basically the research shows that, um, 429 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: people who go into the laboratory, even an average person 430 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: does about six six to eight above chance. So what 431 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: so if they were guessing, they would say get sort 432 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: if they if they're doing the gang Spelled experiment with 433 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: the sensory deprivation, they get about thirty three percent, so 434 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: they go up. But when you control for people like 435 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: me or creative types probably someone like you as well, UM, 436 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: people will do significantly higher than that. So it gets 437 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: up to more like accuracy and things like that. Um, 438 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: the thing I was doing, the remote perceptions with that, 439 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: there's there's been incredible results with those kinds of studies. 440 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: And you know, I've also I've also had witnessed out 441 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: body experiences where there were people present and then I 442 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: had an out body experience and then we were able 443 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: to verify the information and things like that. Okay, wait wait, wait, 444 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: hold on, So you're being watched while you have an 445 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: out of body experience and being like studied those experience 446 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: is weren't so much the studying the experiences that I 447 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: did during that fourteen week study, those were those were 448 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: all under controlled conditions, so it was all completely blind 449 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: and I had to look at studies. And then I've 450 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: done some research with Dean Raiding at the Institute of 451 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: Noitic Sciences which was literally like something out of a film. 452 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: They put you in a still still box basically and 453 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: kind of lock you in and that box is completely 454 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: magnetically shielded, so there's no frequencies or anything can go 455 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: into that box. And then I had to try and 456 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: affect things on a quantum levels, on the most minute 457 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: level of like physical reality. I had to try and 458 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 1: influence quantum effects on that kind of level. What does 459 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: that mean? Moving things or trying to like read what 460 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: someone else is thinking, moving things on a on a 461 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: quantum level. So have you heard of the double slit experiment? No, 462 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: tell me about it please. Well it's a really interesting 463 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: experiment because what they do is they've got these two 464 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: slits and they shoot photons particles of light through these 465 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: slits um with a thing called an interferometer. So it 466 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: just sends these particles through and if someone looks observes 467 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: the experiment, you get dots on either side like their particles. Right, 468 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: if someone is not observing the experiment, you get a 469 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: wave pattern. So basically the act of someone looking at 470 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: it seems to change reality on a quantum level um. 471 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: This is kind of what some people believe is going on, 472 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: that there's literally that we are like when we interact 473 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: with reality, reality changes um. So what the experiment deemed 474 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: Radium was doing was he was wondering if this could 475 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: happen on a psychic level, So could I affect reality 476 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: on a quantum level, on that really minute level of reality? 477 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: So could I cause a change in this like wave 478 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: or particle pattern that you get. So basically I was 479 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: in this box and I had to try and cause 480 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: the particles to deviate from how they were usually functioning. 481 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: And then he looked at the data statistically and would say, okay, 482 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: yes it worked or yes it didn't work. So he 483 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: found that overall with those experiments that it does work, 484 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: and that basically people can affect things on a quantum 485 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: level with their psychic ability. Basically, so that psychic ability 486 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: or do you think that's just energy? Because if you 487 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: take it to like physics, right, we're all energy. We 488 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: all have energy. So this might not make any sense. 489 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: I'm really visual, but there's sound waves, right, So I 490 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: make sound as a job, so I see the sound waves, 491 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: so I'm kind of imagining the light wave in a 492 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: more sense, like if it's going like this, so with 493 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: your mind, you made it kind of change direction, is 494 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: what you're saying. Because that makes sense to me, because 495 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: even just having a positive attitude or being kind to 496 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: someone I feel like can change energetically your mood and 497 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: also the mood of someone else. So it only makes 498 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,239 Speaker 1: sense that it's part of physics to me, like the 499 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: energy that you're putting out would affect the things that 500 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: are surrounding you, including sound waves, light waves. All of 501 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: that sounds like it makes perfect sense to me, But 502 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, is that far out. What a lot of 503 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: the scientists would say is that they don't divide all 504 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: these things up. I think a lot of the scientists 505 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: are starting to think that consciousness might be a fundamental 506 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: aspect of reality, that are our minds and our experience 507 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: of the world might be as much a part of 508 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: reality as light or sound or any of those things 509 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: that literally um. Some of the near def experience researchers 510 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: think that as we um when we have a near 511 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: deaf experience or an out body experience, or um or 512 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: when we die even that essentially it's like the filters 513 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: taken off. Suddenly we're able to experience reality for the 514 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: full spectrum of what it is. But while we're alive, 515 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: we're kind of almost our brains are almost filtering it out. 516 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: So there's Yeah, there's so much possibility for what could 517 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: be going on. Really, I know, it trips me out. 518 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't know where to start with it. And then 519 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm like and then I'm stuck in my little sausage 520 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: casing body and I forget, and then I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, 521 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: you're like you're a woman, your freckles, you're blunt, like 522 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: the things like that. I'll totally forget until I see 523 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: a mirror. But that's neither your No there. I want 524 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: to ask you're about okay with the out of body experiences. 525 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: Is there like a place you're trying? Is there like 526 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: a goal I feel like I want to go into, 527 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: like the ether, I want to go to the moon, 528 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: or you just are open to wherever it's going to 529 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: take you. In the early place you wanted to Yeah, 530 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: in the early experiences, I was more focused on a 531 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: particular place that I wanted to go. But then I 532 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: guess a bit like what we were saying about intuition 533 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: and guidance and sort of trusting things. Um, I started 534 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: to find that when I allowed the experience to unfold, 535 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: more interesting things would happen, or more challenging things. Um. 536 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: You know. So I've generally just allowed the experience to 537 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: unfold as it does. I mean, um, sometimes I will 538 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: decide on trying to get to a particular location. Like 539 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: one of the experiments that I was doing with the 540 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: Institute of Noitic Sciences was I tried to go to 541 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: their laboratory in and out of body experience and influence 542 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: the experiment there from the UK. So I went there 543 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,719 Speaker 1: physically when I did the actual experiments, but then afterwards 544 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: I tried to go back in an outbuddy experience and 545 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: influence it from the other side of the world. So 546 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't know the results. How did that work. I 547 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: don't know the results of that yet, but that was 548 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: something that I tried to do. So well, then it's 549 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 1: like then I'm like, you're basically a living go yeah, 550 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: So then it rises, I mean, then the question arises 551 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: like well, our ghosts necessarily dead people are not necessarily 552 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: because people have seen me, and people see people while 553 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: out of body as well, usually in the form of 554 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: a kind of shadow figure, that's the most common. So 555 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: it will literally be like a figure that looks like 556 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: a shadow that's kind of moving around on its own. 557 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: That kind of thing. Interesting, So when you were a kid, 558 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: that maybe was like what you thought was a ghost, 559 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: or the apparition could have actually just been it's possiblesible 560 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: body experience. It's possible gateway didn't look like a shadow, 561 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: didn't have that quality. But then again, some people have 562 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: also not seen me, but some people have seen someone 563 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: having an outbuddy experience and seen them exactly as they 564 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: look in real life. So even down to being accurate 565 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: about the clothes that that person head on on that 566 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: particular day, which is really strange because that kind of 567 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: then you've got the thing that they were wearing clothes, 568 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: so they've had an out of body experience, gone to 569 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: a different location their clothes, so it kind of suggests 570 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: that maybe they're projecting some kind of image of themselves, 571 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: you know how they usually look as well as you know, 572 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: whatever else is going. So sometimes it's nondescript, like a shadow, 573 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: but other times it's like a full image, including like 574 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: clothes and details of their appearance and all of that. 575 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: That's so interesting because I'm so I have so many 576 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: ridiculous items of clothing, and I just wonder what I 577 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: like to think that when I pass away, when I die, 578 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: I either turned into a mushroom, or if I'm like 579 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: going to this ether place, I wonder what I'll be wearing. 580 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: Like I kind of hope I'll be like naked with 581 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: a sparkly cape on with just covered and glitter, and 582 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: I think I'll be turquoise, and I don't know. I 583 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: just wonder. I'm hoping. Basically, I'm asking you you are 584 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: confirming that that's probably what I'll look like in that 585 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: for life definitely perfect. That's how I needed to know 586 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: because I was reading something you'd said about how you 587 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: you were having an out about the experience and you 588 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: think maybe saw from a distance people that were like 589 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: in transition between life and death. Is that right? Oh? Yeah, yeah, 590 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: I had. They tend to call it a shared death 591 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: experience now where you literally see the kind of deaf 592 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: experience of someone else. Um, so in that in that experience. 593 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: So that's an example of kind of amazing stuff that 594 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: if you don't force the experience in any direction, that 595 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: can happen. So I found myself it was quite classical 596 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: about sort of a laughter life kind of type of environment. 597 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: It was very misty, kind of cloudy looked, you know, 598 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: literally like bellowing cloud. There was no up, no down. 599 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: You couldn't really see any surface or or sky or 600 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: it was just all this kind of misty environment and 601 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: around sort of about a hundred twos from where I was. 602 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: It's the best estimate I can give. There was a 603 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: group of people and they all seemed um, not stressed, 604 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: but confused. They all seemed like they didn't know what 605 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: was happening where they were, what was going on UM. 606 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: And as they sort of settled into the experience, as 607 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: they started to feel more in tune with what was 608 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: going on, UM, some of them, it was literally like 609 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: I was seeing their thoughts. It was like this sort 610 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: of um almost like a screen opened up around some 611 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: of their heads and I could see memories, thoughts, perceptions 612 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: of There was one guy in the foreground, like the 613 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: closest to me. UM. He was sort of an older guy. UM. 614 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: He seemed to be struggling, and I saw in the 615 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: imagery in his mind this man who had very like 616 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: leavery sort of skin, very dark tan. He looked like 617 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: he'd worked outside his whole life, very very kind of 618 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: looked like he'd been beaten by the sun for for 619 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: years kind of thing. Um. And I kind of interpreted 620 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: this as probably his father, and he was kind of 621 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 1: seen there seemed to be tension between him and his father, 622 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: and he was struggling with this tension, and slowly it 623 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: was kind of seemed to be getting resolved, um, but 624 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: he was he was struggling. And then I looked across 625 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: the group and then there was I think it was 626 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: a woman on the far side of the group, and 627 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: she was the complete opposite. She seemed to be really 628 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: open and light and she wasn't stressed by any of 629 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: the situation um, and she just basically just drifted off 630 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: into into the sort of mist, and it was like 631 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: it was like she transitioned. She just went from one 632 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: level to another, like quite smoothly and easily. So within 633 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: the group, there were different levels of intensity of the 634 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: process they were going through, so it was literally like 635 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: what they call a life review. In near death experience research. 636 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: So they were going through this process and then they 637 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: drifted away. So after this experience, it was in the morning, 638 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: I came back from the out body experience and I 639 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: was kind of like this, I felt so real, This 640 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: was so like a peak experience. I tent to call 641 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: them like something that's like beyond anything I normally experienced. 642 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: And I remember, I think it was on the TV. 643 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: Later that day there was a news report that basically 644 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: said there'd been a plane crash in Norway, um on 645 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: an island off of Norway called Sabat, and a hundred 646 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: and forty people had died in that crash, which was 647 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: exactly the like the number that I'd seen, and most 648 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: of them were you Rainian or Russian kind of descent, 649 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: which is also what they look like to me and 650 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: the experience, so it was like I got a confirmation 651 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: in physical reality that what I'd seen in that experience 652 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: was a real experience. Basically, that's so interesting to me 653 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: because like for all the reasons, but I guess, witnessing 654 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: the crossing over of other souls, I have like so 655 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: many questions. First of all, when you're doing this, do 656 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: you have like feet and hands and like, are you like, 657 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: do you look like a person? Are you more just 658 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: like I feel like a ball of energy? Um. That 659 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: that depends. Sometimes I have a body, but more commonly 660 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: now I'm more like a ball of energy. Um. But 661 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: in the early it's it's interesting. I think that in 662 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: our early experiences, we tend to think of ourselves kind 663 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: of like um, as a body, as a person, So 664 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 1: you tend to experience yourself as a as a body. 665 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: But I think as the process guys on, as you 666 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: become more familiar with being in an outputty experience, it 667 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: tends to sort of shift and you start to experience 668 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: more as a kind of an ORB or or something 669 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: like that, which I've also had an orban experience. So 670 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: that's another thing. Okay, wait, what's the Okay, wait, hold on, 671 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: So you tend you tend to be more of an 672 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: orb and you've had an orbit experience. I'm going to 673 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: circle back to that one second. But the plane crash 674 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: that people they still look like people, like fully clothed 675 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: in the whole thing. Okay, So now the orb experience, 676 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: because I've also heard that. I was talking to Demi 677 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: Lovato and she was talking about kind of um experiencing 678 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: like through meditation, extraterrestrial contact, and she was showing me 679 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: photos of these blue green um golden I personally saw 680 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,240 Speaker 1: ones that were like orange fire colored like these orbs, 681 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: and so I want to not like a it could 682 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: be extra treasure. We could I'll be talking about the 683 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: same thing and be what's your ORB experience? Well, I agree, 684 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. But I was meditating 685 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: with a friend of mine. He's a musician. Actually we were. 686 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 1: We were sitting meditating and just kind of very calm, 687 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: had sort of a very peaceful music on. We was 688 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 1: sitting there and suddenly, at the top of the kind 689 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: of weather ceiling and the wall meet, this kind of 690 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 1: ball of energy just moved through the wall um at 691 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,919 Speaker 1: the at that level, and it was about the size 692 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 1: of a basketball and it and it drifted down slowly 693 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: in front of us and stopped at kind of like 694 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,240 Speaker 1: our eye level between me and him. UM. I looked 695 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: at him and he kind of gesture to me that yeah, 696 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: he was also seeing this um and we just we 697 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: looked at it and it seemed to just radiate this energy. 698 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: It was green, like opaque green um, and it was 699 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: just radiating a very positive energy. It was like a 700 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: kind of love energy even. It was just really we 701 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: just felt incredible kind of sitting there and we just 702 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: kind of watched it. And then it stayed there for 703 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: quite a while, maybe as long as ten minutes or 704 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: something like that. Um, and we were just fixated on it, 705 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: and we almost felt like we were communicating with it, 706 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: but on a sort of an emotional level. Um. And 707 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: then it drifted away. I don't remember exactly, but it 708 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: kind of drifted away. So, yeah, that was my experience 709 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: with a or. But I don't know what it was 710 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,280 Speaker 1: that I put it down to being a spirit because 711 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: that was my reference if you like my filter. But 712 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, you could easily also interpret that in it 713 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,720 Speaker 1: as a kind of alien or I don't know, extraterrestrial. 714 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,919 Speaker 1: It could be a spirit that's passed on. It could 715 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: be somebody else astral projecting or having an out of 716 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: body experience. It's so crazy. There's so many there's so 717 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: many possibilities. And I feel like usually when I talked 718 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: to a large majority of people about this kind of stuff, 719 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: they like giggle, And I mean not to generalize, but 720 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna like most of the men I have 721 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: dated like cis gender white straight man like laugh at 722 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: me when I talk about this stuff. So I was like, 723 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,720 Speaker 1: is it because I'm an artist? Is because I'm a woman? 724 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: Is it because I have always have had this really 725 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: strange relationship with my body where it just felt like 726 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 1: it wasn't mine? Since I remember having about it, I 727 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this is my vehicle. So does say 728 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 1: for this lifetime for my soul. But it's so nice 729 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,280 Speaker 1: to have this conversation because I do feel like leading 730 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: us somewhat spiritual existence has made my life so much 731 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: happier and more positive and better and also be able 732 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,479 Speaker 1: to weed out like what's actually good for not only 733 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: myself but other people on the planet. I agree, And 734 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: I think I think what you just said about men, 735 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: I think there is really a kind of hits to 736 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: do with this kind of role of masculinity and how 737 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: people are supposed to be in society. And I think 738 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: often men do get caught up in this thing that 739 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: they should not engage with those kinds of things they 740 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: should sort of because they're not you know, they too 741 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: we were? Were they too emotional? Which is you know, 742 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: things like that. So I think I think there's a 743 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 1: degree of sort of toxic masculinity and those kind of 744 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,760 Speaker 1: ways of approaching things, which is really unfortunate thing because 745 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: you get the same thing with you know, things like 746 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 1: veganism and stuff like that. You know, people get very yeah, 747 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: because I'm also vegan, and I kind of see that 748 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: a part of my spiritual sort of identity as well. 749 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: And I feel it's a shame that a lot of 750 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: these sort of masculine viewpoints kind of stop people doing 751 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: better things in their lives. Specifically, it's so true because 752 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: of some sort of societal system that makes no sense, 753 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: yet we all kind of conform and adhere to it 754 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: until you hit a certain point, which I feel like 755 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: has happened really over time for me at least, but 756 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,839 Speaker 1: where I started being like, wait, why am I even 757 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: doing that thing? I don't stand for that. I don't 758 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: want to do that, I don't want to wear that, 759 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to say that. But it just seemed 760 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: like it was part of what I was supposed to 761 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: behave like and I think for you know, a lot 762 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: of men that I've met, these conversations just like they 763 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: just dip out, They're like, no, I'm good, So I 764 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: like love having this conversation with you. It's great because 765 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: I do think there's an element of the masculinity that's 766 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: supposed to be not emotional, and I feel like, as 767 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: such an emotional creature, I could do being less emotional, 768 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: but there's so many men I see that I just 769 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: want to be like, it's okay, you cry. Like maybe 770 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: the world would be like, like less aggressive if everybody 771 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,720 Speaker 1: was just a little bit more emotionally open and felt 772 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: safe doing that. Yeah, I think I think informity is 773 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 1: a big problem in general, you know. I think that 774 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,399 Speaker 1: I think without a body experiences and all these things 775 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: they took me away from maybe a lot of that 776 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: need to be a particular way in my life. So 777 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 1: I think having those experiences made me think, no, I'm 778 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,800 Speaker 1: going to walk my own path. I'm not going to 779 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: sort of follow this herd mentality that a lot of 780 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: people get sucked into and just sort of explore what 781 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: it is to be human and what all these experiences 782 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: mean and all these kinds of things. So I just 783 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 1: was exploring all these different areas that maybe a lot 784 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: of mainstream society rejects from the age of like fourteen 785 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: or whatever. That's I love that I wish I had 786 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: been more into spiritual stuff when I was at age. 787 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: I was just into like trying to make out with 788 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: like senior boys, and I was playing the saxophone in 789 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 1: the marching band. It was not cool. It was it 790 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: was not having out about the experiences. I wish I 791 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: was like you got like a head start onto deeper 792 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: cool ship. So you have, of course on how to 793 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: like do this? Do you teach people? Oh my god, 794 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: I kind of do it all right? How do I 795 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: sign up for it? I have an online course and 796 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,280 Speaker 1: I do private tuition, So I I love teaching people. 797 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: I think it's like so fulfilling to kind of give 798 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: people that kind of variance and see where they can 799 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: go with it. I've also got technology that I developed, 800 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: which is sound technology that helps get you to the 801 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: vibrational state, which is the pre state to the outbordy experience. 802 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: It's like the launching pad. So if you can get 803 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 1: to that point, then it's much easier to have an 804 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: outbordy experience. So I developed that as well. So what 805 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:29,479 Speaker 1: does that It's infraliminal sound, So the infra part means 806 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: infra sounds, so it's very low level sound. Frequencies that 807 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 1: cause a mild shift in in your sort of conscious state. 808 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: And then it's also got subliminal messages to sort of 809 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 1: help you tune into the out body experience. So it's 810 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: kind of a combination of those two things. So UM, 811 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 1: and it uses the frequencies to kind of guide you 812 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: into that pre state of the out body experience. Basically, 813 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: what are the Okay when I hear when I think 814 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,439 Speaker 1: of subliminal messages, I can't help but think like, oh, 815 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: that sounds like manipulative unless I know what it is. 816 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: So what are you saying, Like, what's the subliminal message 817 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: just to have enough body experience? It's it's just literally 818 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: too um, because I think a lot of the process 819 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: of inducing an outbuddy experience is getting the message to 820 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 1: your unconscious mind. Because I think what tends to happen 821 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: is we lay there trying to induce an outbuddy experience, 822 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: but sort of our conscious mind doesn't quite get what's 823 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: going on in that You can't sort of fully induce 824 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: it just from a conscious state, so you have to 825 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: get it into your unconscious in order to trigger the experience. 826 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 1: So the subliminals help with that. UM. So you can 827 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: also do it from a sleep state as well. But 828 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: there's two different versions. Are you like whisper talking in 829 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: the background, like saying things? Are the frequencies are I'll 830 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,720 Speaker 1: just have to listen to you. You don't hear anything. 831 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: The main thing is the frequencies. But then there's there's 832 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 1: just these subtle sort of affirmations call them affirmations that 833 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,839 Speaker 1: are layered into the frequencies. But the main thing what 834 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: we did is we did we experimented with ways of 835 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: um altering consciousness using frequencies. So when you listen to 836 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: music or you listen to sound, we all know there's 837 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: an emotional change or there's a change in how we 838 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,359 Speaker 1: feel when we do that. So basically experimented with, okay, 839 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: if we put this kind of frequency, how does that 840 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: make the person feel? Do they feel better? Do they 841 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 1: feel more peaceful? You know what? How does that frequency 842 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: affect people? So we went through and basically created a 843 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: pattern of frequencies that will help you get if you 844 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: follow them, like almost like a meditation. You go with 845 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: the sound frequencies. It's almost like a mantra or something 846 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: like that, but in a recording, So a mantra or 847 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: like the sound that you hear when when you hear 848 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,720 Speaker 1: like Buddhist monks or something like that, they're using sound 849 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 1: to get their consciousness to a particular point. And basically 850 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: I've kind of distilled that into frequencies in a in 851 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: a recording, so you can listen to that and it 852 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: will guide you to that point. Um. And then if 853 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: you combine that with the techniques, then it's much easier 854 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,439 Speaker 1: to have an out body experience. So it makes it 855 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 1: more like a couple of months of work rather than 856 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: six months or whatever. Wait, I really want to do it, Okay, 857 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 1: just for myself, but and everybody listening, how would they 858 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: sign up for that? Do you have a website? They 859 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 1: can go to Graham Nicols dot com, which is Nickels 860 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: with two l's um, and yeah, they can get everything there. 861 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: The infra eliminal tracks are on there, or they can 862 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,399 Speaker 1: get the course and there's kind of packages you get 863 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: course with the infraliminal and they can even get the 864 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,759 Speaker 1: course infraliminal and I'll answer their questions as a one 865 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:13,959 Speaker 1: on one option as well. The whole thing. I love that. 866 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna try it. I mean, I'm gonna 867 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 1: try it. Fuck it, I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna 868 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: try it. Um. I wanted to ask you about because 869 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: I was reading something you had written about the importance 870 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: of solitude and as someone who is never by themselves ever, 871 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 1: like ever, like even when I go pe, I'll have 872 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 1: someone following me asking me a question about something. Never alone, 873 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,760 Speaker 1: and I like being around people, like I'm just always 874 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: around a ton of people. And maybe I'm used to it. 875 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm codependent. Maybe I don't know what it is, 876 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: but so what do you think it is so important 877 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 1: about being alone? Um, I'm not sure it's important for everyone, 878 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: but I think it can be a really powerful way 879 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 1: to connect with those inner experiences and listen to the 880 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: kind of levels of your awareness and your consciousness that 881 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 1: maybe you don't hear if you're kind of constantly around 882 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 1: chatter and other people a lot like you do with 883 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: meditation and things like that. So, UM, I tend to 884 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: like to go off into nature and kind of connect 885 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 1: with nature and just spend some time on my own. 886 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: And it's almost a bit of a shamanic thing and 887 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:47,359 Speaker 1: a little bit um. I also was initiated and part 888 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 1: of like witchcraft when I was quite young. So that 889 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 1: was also interconnected with all this. So um, I've sort 890 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,280 Speaker 1: of kept wait, what do you mean, Um, you're initiating 891 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: the witchcraft. You have to tell me what that means. Well, 892 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: when I was fourteen and I was getting into all 893 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,399 Speaker 1: this stuff, um, I guess when I was looking into 894 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,600 Speaker 1: out of all the experiences and astral projection and all 895 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: that stuff, I came across witchcraft and things like that 896 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:18,879 Speaker 1: as well. So I found a coven um who did 897 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,359 Speaker 1: a blend of Alexandria and wicker and also um, traditional 898 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: English witchcraft is how they referred to it. So I 899 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 1: got involved with them, and I got initiated with them, 900 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 1: and so I learned a lot of processes for sort 901 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 1: of connecting with nature and going out into nature and 902 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: doing trance work and things like that out in nature. 903 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: So I guess that's more the more like using the 904 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: body and being very physical and being out in in 905 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: amongst the woods or whatever and kind of just connecting 906 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 1: in that kind of way. So um, I'm very I'm 907 00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 1: very kind of explore any avenue that I think has 908 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: value and that will work and be useful and interesting. 909 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 1: So I've just always been open to all those things. 910 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, me too. I love it, and I love 911 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: like I'll go on tour and be playing shows with 912 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,680 Speaker 1: tons of energy and tons of people and just like wild, 913 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 1: wild energy. And then my like come down off of 914 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 1: that is I like to go into the middle of 915 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: nowhere and camp and like just like be around absolutely 916 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 1: no one. Or I love scuba diving because I feel 917 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: like it's the only time I ever get to really 918 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: be alone. Okay, so but I have to put on 919 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,400 Speaker 1: a fucking tank and go under the ocean for people 920 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,239 Speaker 1: not to bother. The camping sounds similar to what I do. 921 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: I often go off into the woods and all that 922 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, so and decamping, and yeah, I find 923 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,280 Speaker 1: I find that I like to do that at least 924 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,960 Speaker 1: once a year or something where can just sort of 925 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: connect and and often I find that my experiences with 926 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 1: the out of body stuff will get better if I 927 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: do that, So it gives me that extra kind of 928 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 1: boost if I do something like that. In sensory deprivation, 929 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 1: like you were talking about the tanks earlier, something like 930 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 1: that as well. I think it's just that being in 931 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: that total stillness and being completely kind of away from 932 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 1: any kind of imagery and sound and all that kind 933 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 1: of stuff, and just having that period just allows your 934 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: it's like a reset, allows your consciousness and your experience 935 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: to just reset, and then you can just when you 936 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 1: try to do something after that just tends to flow 937 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 1: and be so much better. Um, that's how. But do 938 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 1: you have the problem of like your brain just being 939 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 1: like that's how I would describe my brain. My brain 940 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: is quite like that. So I think I need things 941 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: to kind of the kind of tune it out, you know. Um, 942 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 1: I definitely am more of a constantly coming up with 943 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:14,280 Speaker 1: ideas and constantly exploring new areas and constantly learning. You know, 944 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm just NonStop with that. So I think that these 945 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: kind of practices allow me to maybe turn that off 946 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 1: a little bit into kind of reconnect with something else. 947 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: I called myself a spiritual explorer, and then somebody wants 948 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 1: in an interview called me a nature punk, which is 949 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 1: like my favorite thing ever. I was like, I feel 950 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: like I'm being seen for who I truly am. But 951 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just feel like if a kindred 952 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: spirit in those regions, I'm creative. But Okay, I have 953 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 1: one more question, because I know we're like about at 954 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: a time, but I have one question, just because I 955 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: don't quite understand what is the difference between astral projection 956 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 1: and and of body experience or can are they can? 957 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: Can they be the same thing? Are they two separate things? 958 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,919 Speaker 1: I guess what most people that the way most people 959 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: divide the two is to say that UM, a'stu projection 960 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,960 Speaker 1: is an intentional our body experience. So you could have 961 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: an our body experience spontaneously like I did when I 962 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: was a kid. You can just sort of lay down 963 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,880 Speaker 1: and UM, it might happen, or you know, people have 964 00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 1: them in all different contexts and situations. So M and 965 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 1: our body experiences like I mentioned that thing of that 966 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 1: you feel yourself out of your physical body and you 967 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 1: experience the world from that out of body vantage points. 968 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 1: So that's what it feels like, UM. But astral projection 969 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: is the process of trying to make that happen in 970 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: an intentional way. And I guess the term astral projection 971 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 1: also comes from more like esoteric writings, So our body 972 00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: is more like the scientific modern term UM, whereas astral 973 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 1: projection is more than classical, going back into hermetic traditions 974 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 1: and philosophy and all these esoteric ideas from the past. 975 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 1: They used to use that kind of context, and in 976 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: those ideas, you have multiple bodies in that philosophy. So 977 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 1: they say an etheric body, which is operates on this 978 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 1: plane on the physical plane, and then the astral body 979 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: operates on the astral plane, and then there's more after that. 980 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't really subscribe to all that, but that's where 981 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 1: the term astral comes from. It literally comes from from 982 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: astra like meaning like like a star. So um, it 983 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:49,600 Speaker 1: literally means like star projection or you know, like it 984 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 1: being like a star, making yourself like a starter, I guess, um, 985 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's really the difference. But I've started 986 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:01,479 Speaker 1: using independent consciousness experience aliens as well. That's my new 987 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 1: sort of term, which is basically because then it doesn't 988 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 1: focus so much on the idea of a body. It's 989 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 1: more like I can experience myself, my consciousness independent and 990 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 1: kind of out there in the world, functioning in its 991 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 1: own way. So it's kind of a bit different to 992 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 1: this thing that just focuses on sort of coming out 993 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,680 Speaker 1: the body, you know, because often people sort of get 994 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 1: fixated on this idea of being above their body looking 995 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 1: back at themselves lead line below, And I think, what's 996 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 1: most interesting about our body experiences is this when your 997 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,439 Speaker 1: consciousness expands and your experience like an interconnectedness with all 998 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 1: of life and reality you like. So it's kind of 999 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,959 Speaker 1: when you just don't know what you're going to learn 1000 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 1: and what you're going to experience. I think that's the 1001 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 1: most fascinating part about it. In many ways, you're not 1002 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,280 Speaker 1: so focused on the separation of spirit and body. You're 1003 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:03,680 Speaker 1: just open to expansion of consciousness. Yeah, because at the 1004 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 1: end of the day, I think no one really wants 1005 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 1: to just come out of their body just so they 1006 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: can look at themselves on their bed. Um. That sounds terrifying. Yeah, 1007 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: that's not That's not really what most people are interested in. 1008 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: Most people, I think, are interested in experiencing other levels 1009 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 1: of reality. Um, you know, asking those questions like about 1010 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 1: life after death, um, experiencing sort of interconnectedness with other life, 1011 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,960 Speaker 1: like other beings, all those kinds of things, you know, 1012 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 1: asking those bigger questions. I think. So cool. All right, Well, 1013 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to sign up at Graham Nickels with two 1014 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 1: els dot com.

And then the second book, 1023 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 1: which is called Navigating the Out of Body Experience.

If 1035 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 1: you were a ghost, which you might be a ghost 1036 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: when you're projecting yourself over the living one, yeah, yeah, 1037 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,840 Speaker 1: which is a trip. But okay, so would you how 1038 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: would you haunt and who would you haunt?
