1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio and welcome back to Coast to Coast George

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: Nori with her Linda Salvin back with us. He is

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: a radio host, veteran, a metaphysician. Doctor Linda Salvin was

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: not born with psychic gifts, but a series of devastating

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: accidents transformed her life. With each of these experiences, her

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: spiritual connection to the universe and her psychic gifts began

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: to get better and grow more and more. Spiritual awakenings

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: resulting from a plane crash, a firetruck, and other near

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: death experience with a white light cost her to seek

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: out ways to integrate her education and experiences to assist

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: others on a new holistic and metaphysical path. Linda, welcome back.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: How are you. I'm doing great, George, Thank you for

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: having me, and happy holidays to you and everybody listening

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: you too, Linda looking forward to this without dwelling too

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: much on this because I don't want it to be painful.

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: What was it like being in a plane crash? I mean,

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: did you know you were crashing? Not really. I had

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: a premonition an hour before I was on company business.

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I was working for an insurance company at the time,

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, em educated. I have a master's

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: degree in public health epidemiology, so I was doing environmental

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: health and safety of all things. And we were up

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: in San Jose. We flew out of John Wayne Airport

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: in southern California, and we our whole day got kind

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: of messed up with the testing we were doing, so

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: we went back to the airport. Early in my partner Leo,

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: and I were sitting in the coffee shop and looking

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: at the plane sitting in the window. I said, doesn't

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: look like it could crack there, and he looked at me,

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: thought I was just tired from the day, and I've

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: never had a premonition. I was twenty seven at the time,

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: and an hour and a half later, the plane crash

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: landed to avoid collision with another plane taking off the

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: same runway. The probability of all of us surviving was

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: two billion to one. The engine fell off, the landing

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: gear was stripped, and the plane cracked in half exactly

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 1: where I had the vision like ninety minutes earlier. So

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we were crashing until we were on

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the ground. We were on the pavement and the throttle.

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: It didn't sound like we were stopping. And then I

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: looked over and there was grass, so I knew that

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: we I mean, I knew we crashed. I could feel it,

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: but we weren't stopping. And then we came to a

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: halt and the stories just right up the aislands that

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: everybody off before it blows, and then slid down the ramp.

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Asked the stewardess where the stairs were was in total shock.

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: And then I just ran on the field. And you

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: know the four or five freeway hits John Wayne Airport,

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: So I saw freeway and I panned, and then I

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: saw paramedics, and then I panned and I saw the

52
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: terminal and I panned and I saw the plane on

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: its belly, on fire, smokey people running, and I thought,

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, I just survived a plane crash. And

55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: it's just total shock. It's something it's too much, too comprehend.

56
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: But I was out of my body like fifty feet,

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: which lasted about four months. That's when all this started happening.

58
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're back with us, Linda. I'm here every

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: couple of things. Fantastic. Nice to be back, George, but

60
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm still here. You know, I'm here with a gift.

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: And back then I had no clue. But in retrospect

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: forty someone years later, it was like an initiation. I

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: was very young, and at that time I thought life

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: was over. I had no purpose, no goal, No I

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do. Us full of fear and

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: anxiety and weird stuff happening. And we have to remember

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: that was long before the Internet, and there was nobody

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: to talk to or google back then. That's right, we

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: were out there on our own in the eighties. Yeah, well,

70
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the afterlife. But I

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: want to say one thing here is you bring people

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: joy from the pain of suffering that a lot of

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: people go through during the holiday seasons. It's one of

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: the reasons why we broadcast live shows. This program is

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: so personal with people and it's almost become part of

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: their family. And you know, there are a lot of

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: people on the holidays who don't have family. They may

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: be alone. And I made a decision twenty years ago

79
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: when I took over this program. I told our producers,

80
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: I said, we're not running tapes, we're not taking days

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: off on holidays, and they will be live programs. Whoever

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: does them, we will do live programs. And we had broadcasting.

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Is you're speaking to a broad audience of various people everywhere.

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: And as you know, I was in radio, I did

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: my show for twenty years back on the air now

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: doing internet and I stuff to talk to Tom about

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: some stuff as we mentioned last time, but I had

88
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: the same thing. I never read tape on Thanksgiving or Christmas.

89
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: And even though I had a smaller audience, I'm still

90
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: in four hundred markets at my peak. And it is

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: it's like you want the beauty that your show, or

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the way a lot of us can guide a show

93
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: as it makes each individual whether they're driving the truck

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: or their home alone in bed, or wherever they are listening.

95
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: It's like we're speaking to that one person only. That's

96
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: the beauty of a show like this, where you encompass

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: the spirit and the soul and people don't feel alone,

98
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: they feel connected. Yeah, that is so true. But there

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that have that pain during

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: the holiday season, and how do you help people like that? Well,

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's everybody's individual. Everybody that comes to me

102
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: is as their own story or their own pain or

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: their own loss. I've suffered a lot of loss this year,

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot of us have, especially since COVID, But a

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: lot of it is what was taught to me many

106
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: years ago. When people say I'm so alone, I'm so alone,

107
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: I said, you're not alone, because I became very spiritual,

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: obviously after the accidents, where I turned to God and

109
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I found my own God, not as a religious god,

110
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: but a spiritual thing out there that guided me. So

111
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: if you take the word alone and break it up,

112
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: it says all one. So I help people get back

113
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: to like that butterfly moment. So we always talk about

114
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: the butterfly being a link from God and to help

115
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: them connect to what the universe really is, what's out there. Yes,

116
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: we have losses of people or animals and relatives, and

117
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: as we get older, we start remembering and grieving or

118
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: missing our childhood and the dinner table and the relatives.

119
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: And as we get older the table shrinks or people disappear,

120
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: or our loved ones are gone, or like I lost

121
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: my dog this year. You know, and it hurts, and

122
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: we all have pain. We all have pain, but it's

123
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: even like the Buddha would say, it's just how you

124
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: learn to live with it. There's no pain free life.

125
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: There isn't, but there's ways to cope better. And sometimes

126
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: it just means getting out of the house and taking

127
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: a walk, or saying hello to somebody at the market.

128
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: And you never know who needs to say hello more

129
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: than you. You know, it's learning to become one with

130
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: others and step out of the pain. Because the pains

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: in the past and the anxieties in the future, but

132
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: in the moment, we can really be at peace. And

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: that's what I helped people learn to integrate from all

134
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: the different fragments inside us. How did you become so

135
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: enamored with the afterlife? Well, that's also part of the

136
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: story here, George. I became a medium after I had

137
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: a hundred tumors. We moved from my hips and thighs

138
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty six. Did you say a hundred tumors

139
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: were on my hips, my hips and thighs. Oh my god. Yeah.

140
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: And one day somebody came to my apartment when I

141
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: was living in the valley at the time, and he

142
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: came for a reading, and he asked me to talk

143
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: to his wife, who has recently deceased. I said, I

144
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 1: don't do that. And next thing I know, I start

145
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: opening my mouth and he this guy's mouth dropped. He said,

146
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: you're sounding like my wife. That's what she would say.

147
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: You're saying everything she knows about me, and blah blah.

148
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: It just happened. Well, after that experience, who did I call?

149
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: But you're and my old friend doctor Emlyn PAGLINI because

150
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: I the only one I knew that understood that weird stuff.

151
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: And she goes, well, welcome to the world of transmediumship.

152
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: So after the surgery, I think I was two or

153
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: three weeks into the healing and it happened, And that

154
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety six. But I officially retired from doing

155
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: it full time in twenty eighteen. It takes a toll

156
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: on the body and the mind and the spirit, and

157
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I needed to kind of separate from the paranormal and

158
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: get back into whatever reality I live in without going

159
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: so far into the dark. I still channel. I still

160
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: help people, but I don't do it as often. It's

161
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: too draining. What have you learned about the afterlife? Feel

162
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: our people, our parents, our friends, loved ones, ancestors, animals,

163
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: they're all there. I have heard gunshots, I have read

164
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: our dictated or channeled. Rather, spaghetti recipes are soft recipes.

165
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I once dictated a suicide note. I have seen the

166
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: people in beautiful clothing, happier times. I've learned that there

167
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: is a life that continues. Our soul goes on, the

168
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: body stays. You cannot cremate a soul, so even if

169
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: we cremate a body, the soul leaves on that last

170
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: breath it goes. So I've learned that the soul continues.

171
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: We're here for a short time, even though it seems

172
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: like a long time, and sometimes it's wonderful and sometimes

173
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: it's scary and the world's wacky lately, but we're here.

174
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: But when we do, there's still more. And I've learned

175
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: that there's like schools, different levels of where people ascend.

176
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: I believe that the more spiritual we've become in this lifetime,

177
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: in this incarnation, the higher we go when we transition over.

178
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: And I know that our family and loved ones are

179
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: at the gate. They're gatekeepers. And even little children who

180
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: have died young of you know, disease or something, they're

181
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: often at the gate saying hello and welcoming. It's most

182
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: people go to the light. Most people are there are

183
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: most spirits. There's I don't really know about the purgatory

184
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: or the hell that I've seen one case in my

185
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: entire life that I believe there's something really dark, but

186
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: I choose to concentrate on the light. And it's real.

187
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: A lot of times people ask about spirit guides and

188
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: guardian angels. It's all real and and like your own ancestors.

189
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: And we've discussed this as shows prior can be maybe

190
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: eight generations beyond your own knowledge. But they would be

191
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: your guardian angel or they would select to take care

192
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: of you and your guide. You strangers you've never met.

193
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: They choose from the other side. Oh, I'm going to

194
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: take care of George. I like that person, Tom, I'm

195
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: going to go help Lisa. I'm going to choose Linda.

196
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: And we don't know them. But if there's a channel

197
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: or people that that can open up that side and

198
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: start communicating, a lot of times the names will come

199
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: through and you learn who's taking care of you. So

200
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: to go back to your original question, especially at the

201
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: holiday time, it's lonely. It's it's there's so much marketing

202
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: and everybody looks like they're having a great time and

203
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: you're supposed to wear the most beautiful clothing and give

204
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: all these presents. Then there's this other side where everybody's

205
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: by themselves, or you're isolated, or you don't have the money,

206
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: where you don't have family, or you don't have a

207
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: lot of friends, or you broke up with your boyfriend

208
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: or your girlfriend or your husband or your wife, guide

209
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: something's gone wrong and you're alone. So by communicating with

210
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: the other side, or feeling and knowing they're really here

211
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: around us, like at a different dimension, there comes a

212
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: certain set of conference zones open up in the heart.

213
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: So I like to let people know they're not really alone,

214
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: we just can't see them, but to help feel the

215
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: presence and not just more in the memory, Linda, did

216
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: you ever have any doubt in the existence of the

217
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: afterlife before I became involved with metaphysics. Absolutely, I used

218
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: to scare the daylights out of me. I couldn't comprehend that.

219
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: I didn't even it never really hit me. Look, I

220
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: grew up with three suicides when I was very young. Yeah,

221
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: one is too much. Yeah, there were three in my

222
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: mom's side, and I remember I was two and a

223
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: half when I lost my grandfather. So I always wondered

224
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: where did he go? Where did he go? You know,

225
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: it's one thing where I remember running through the house

226
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: in North Hollywood looking for him after he had been sick.

227
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until I think it was sixteen when

228
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: I learned the truth of the suicide. But the absence

229
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: and the abandonment and the loneliness, or I'm Jewish, sould

230
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: like every holiday if my grandmother was cooking dinner and

231
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: we'd go over that one chair was empty, thank you,

232
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: thank you, and everybody else out there itself celebrates the

233
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: festival of lights. But you know, you mourn your law,

234
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: you feel it, you feel the loneliness, there's a hole

235
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: in your heart. You know something's wrong. But I used

236
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: to wonder where do we go? And growing up, we

237
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't really talk about it. I mean my mom could

238
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: never even talk about really what happened, and in those

239
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: days things were more taboo. Anyway, he just didn't talk.

240
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: He kept it under the rug. You know, you didn't

241
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: talk about anything. But in our generation we all talk,

242
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: and we've opened up spiritually and more emotionally, and psychiatry

243
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: and self help and everything's exploded since the seventies. But

244
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about where the soul would go.

245
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I come from science. I come from epidemiology.

246
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was patent dry physiology. But we didn't

247
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: really talk about souls back then. Okay, but Elizabeth Couldler

248
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Ross is doing research of life after death happened and Moody,

249
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: doctor Moody phenomenal. He was one of the pioneers. You know.

250
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: So when I started to enter or be redirected towards

251
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: this world of spirituality, metaphysics, life after death and reading

252
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: all these books. And back then when after the accident,

253
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: I had called Elizabeth that UCLA because I didn't know

254
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: what was happening to me. I was scared and spiritual

255
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: and weird, and she couldn't even help me. She couldn't

256
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: understand what I was asking me for. I was looking

257
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: for help. But as it calmed own and I started

258
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: redirecting and started reading or going to seminars or whatever,

259
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: it started to make sense. And you know, for people

260
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: that don't understand it, a lot of people are scared

261
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: of it. A lot of people think it's wacko. There's

262
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot of skeptics. But I've overcome all of that

263
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: through my work that I just published an article last

264
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: week and I was trying to explain the difference about

265
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: the spiritual world and the physical world, and I equated

266
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: it to being in a swimming pool, and you know,

267
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: like you'll hold your breath, you sit and you cross

268
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: your legs for a moment, and you're down and you're

269
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: sitting in the shallow end, or you're in the deep end,

270
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: and you look up through the water and there's that

271
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: veil of water. Then you see the sun on the sky,

272
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: you see the film, and it's like if the physical

273
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: world's being underwater, but the special world's above the water.

274
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: There's these two different elements of life. And then I've

275
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: learned to bridge and walk both this and spiritually, where

276
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people are looking still the physical world

277
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: or trying to be in the spiritual world. But the

278
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: key what I have learned at this point is bringing

279
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: it all together for full joy. And that's where so

280
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: many people are missing. The boat no pun intended with

281
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the water, but they don't know how to put it

282
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: all together from the past, the present and and and integrate.

283
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: And that's my job, hopefully to help them open up

284
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and learn how they can calm it down and see

285
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: what's really inside them and not fear it. What about

286
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: the possibilities of prayer and its ability to work? How

287
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: do you think of that. I'm a big, big advocate

288
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: of prayer. I wasn't when I was a child. My

289
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: mom would put, I have two sisters, and you know,

290
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: say your prayers and say good night to God, and

291
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: you know I pray for this and pray them for that.

292
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: We'd be on our little knees. But as I got

293
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: old d I got away from prayer. The only time

294
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: I used to pray in high schools to get me

295
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: out of being grounded. When I was in troubles, okay,

296
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: I would talk to God, Please, I don't want to

297
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: be ground of prayer. A week I got to go

298
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: to the answer whatever. But as an adult, especially after

299
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: the accidents, I turned to prayer and prayers, talking to God, meditations, listening.

300
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: So the old statement be still, for I am God,

301
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: that's you, that's me. There's a God out there, there's

302
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: a God within us, and a God that speaks through

303
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: all of us. I learned all of that and I

304
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: would test it, and I wholeheartedly believe prayer heels not

305
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: always are a prayers answered in our time, because we

306
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: want it now and yesterday. But in the big scheme
