1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480
From the time that they pronounced me deaf was a good 45 minutes.

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,440
They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart, my heart had stopped.

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,120
And I could see people screaming and crying, but I didn't realize that was actually my

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,320
physical body because I was somewhere else.

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,400
The only thing that I could feel, if you could imagine, absolute love and peace, there wasn't

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
anything else to be felt.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,560
I was greeted by people I'd known in the past.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,240
I'm back home again.

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,840
Incredibly safe and felt at home.

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Welcome to Round Trip Deaths, everybody, and welcome to our very special guest in Florida,

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,000
in the U.S., Mary Grace Polnastic.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Good morning.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Good morning.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,160
How are you, Eric?

15
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:51,160
I'm great.

16
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,160
How are you?

17
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,160
I'm doing well.

18
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,160
Thank you.

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,240
It's actually really nice and we had a cold front here, so yay.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000
It feels like fall, actually.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,520
Okay, how cold is fall in Florida?

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,400
I want to say 75 to 68 degrees, depending.

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,400
For the high?

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,400
Yeah.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,760
That is Fahrenheit.

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,880
That is not bad.

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,360
And you told me earlier, one of your emails, how nervous you are.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Please don't be nervous.

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Oh, breathing.

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,840
For our listeners, Mary Grace has not shared her story publicly before.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,840
She's told a few loved ones.

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,320
And so this is going to be her first time.

33
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:38,000
So we're all going to give Grace to Mary Grace and hope that you can relax and we can just

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,520
have a nice chat this morning.

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,960
Before we do, would you mind telling us a little bit about you?

36
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:44,960
Sure.

37
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,680
Like you said, I live in the lovely Florida.

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,400
It's really nice outside right now.

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,040
I'm married, been married for this next December.

40
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,760
We'll be 12 years.

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,160
And I have two lovely children, very beautiful, smart kids.

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,800
One is in Odyssey of the Mind, which is an amazing program.

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760
And then the other one is in the Gifted Program.

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
So very proud of them for that.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,480
I'm a stay-at-home mom.

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:17,920
I'm an avid reader, so I like to read all things consciousness, metaphysics, physics,

47
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,000
anything I can get my hands on.

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,720
I love to meditate, I meditate daily, which I think has helped me in the long run with

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,320
all my myriad of traumas and symptoms from said traumas.

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,600
And I love k-dramas.

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,600
Okay.

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,600
That's sweet.

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
All right.

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,120
Mary Grace, tell me where you grew up and what led up to your near-death experience?

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Sure.

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,640
So, like I said, I was a, I don't think they call military brat any more military child.

57
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,720
I don't know the proper political wording for it.

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,000
But I grew up in the Philippines until I was seven.

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
We moved around a lot.

60
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,920
So from Philippines to Guam, from Guam to Florida for a few months, and then to Hawaii

61
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,960
and then back to Florida where I stayed.

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:19,080
In the Philippines, I didn't feel like I belonged because, you know, being half American, half

63
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Filipino, it's not really embraced in the community.

64
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,160
So...

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Can you explain that real quick?

66
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,600
Do you mind just giving us the family background on that?

67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Sure.

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Okay.

69
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:39,000
So my mom is a what do you call a hospitality girl that worked in the Naval base, which

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,560
mostly entertained like Navy personnel.

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200
And so that's what she did.

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,280
And I, she met my dad and got pregnant with me.

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,360
And I guess ruined her career for a moment.

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:00,040
I know she told me this, that she tried to get rid of me, but I guess that was unsuccessful.

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,280
She gave birth to me.

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,920
And then my grandparents ultimately started taking care of me for most of my childhood.

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,720
She was in and out of my life.

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,240
For most of my childhood.

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840
And I was just kept inside for a lot.

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,240
I didn't have any friends because I was fair skinned.

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,640
So they didn't want me to, I guess, to get burned or whatnot.

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Well, you didn't look like the other kids.

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,280
So you were kind of shunned in other words.

84
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,280
Right.

85
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,280
Correct.

86
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,280
Yeah.

87
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,280
Sorry about that.

88
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:31,960
That must be really hard when you're just a young child.

89
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,960
It really was.

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Because I would see kids out the window playing and I'm just trying to entertain myself.

91
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,000
And I didn't have very many toys or anything.

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,760
So I just, I played with what I could like deodorize.

93
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,200
Something I could find.

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:57,520
But when my mom was in and out of my life, when she was home, I just remember her constantly

95
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,400
yelling at me for, God knows what, or spanking me with slippers, wet slippers at that.

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640
So I was, I never made her happy.

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600
And I just felt like I was just there taking up space.

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,320
I wasn't, I didn't feel really loved or accepted by my family.

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,720
And then how old were you when you got real sick?

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120
I was about five years old.

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,360
I got really sick with a high fever, which even though they were Catholic, they were

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:34,040
still, they still believed in, um, outworldly, like supernatural possessions and whatnot,

103
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,960
which Catholics, I believe in possessions, but they believed in like fairies and gnomes

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,800
and stuff like that.

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,600
So I was sick with a high fever and they didn't take me to the doctors because I, as I spoke

106
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:54,880
with my mom yesterday, when they feel like you're possessed, um, they didn't take you

107
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,880
to the doctor.

108
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,520
So hang on, hang on.

109
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,680
They didn't think you were sick.

110
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,080
They thought you were possessed.

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Yes, sir.

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Yeah.

113
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,080
Why?

114
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,400
What were the symptoms?

115
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,600
I guess I was like, uh, convulsing a little bit.

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:14,040
And then of course, when I was on the brink of death, um, I heard children laughing in

117
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,720
the background.

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:24,920
So I remember going outside and, um, in my mind, I was playing with these really bright

119
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:32,160
children, you know, they were these kids, but they had these very like golden aura around

120
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,160
them.

121
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,920
But I guess in my mother and my grandmother's perspective, I just looked like I was trying

122
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,320
to catch bugs or something.

123
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Okay.

124
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,160
So they thought, I just want to make sure we're clear kind of step by step here.

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Well, they thought you were possessed so that they didn't take you to a doctor.

126
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Yes, sir.

127
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,040
I'm so sorry to hear all of this, by the way, it sounds really traumatic.

128
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,320
And you had a real high fever, which could explain some of this.

129
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Yes, sir.

130
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Okay.

131
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:07,080
And then you're in bed and is there a point where you remember starting to see things and

132
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,680
were you hallucinating or were you leaving your body and going somewhere?

133
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:19,000
I remember, um, I might have been hallucinating, um, but auditorially, I just remember the

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,320
children laughing and I wanted to go to them, so I did get up from the bed physically to

135
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,320
go outside.

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,480
It wasn't, um, my actual body or my spirit or anything.

137
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,640
I did get up physically to go outside to play with these children's children that I was

138
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,140
hearing.

139
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:42,680
And so like I said, I was trying to play tag with them, but in my mind's eye, I was playing

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,680
with them.

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,680
Um, I get it could have been hallucination, but in their, in their perspective, it looked

142
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,560
like I was just trying to catch bugs and playing with bugs or something like that.

143
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Okay.

144
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Thank you.

145
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Keep going.

146
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760
You know, like I said, in my mind's eye, I was playing with them and then all of a sudden

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,240
I just, it turned black, like blackness.

148
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,280
I guess I fell to the ground outside.

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:16,280
In my perspective, I was out of my body in this blackness and I felt just really light.

150
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:23,280
It wasn't hard to breathe anymore and you know, I was weightless and I was in no pain

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,800
and it was just really, really dark and I was just, I guess suspended animation would

152
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,040
be the word for it.

153
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:37,640
I just felt like in this vast blackness void sort of speak, it was just me.

154
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,920
And then all of a sudden I hear like a calling.

155
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:48,800
I felt it in my body and then I looked to my side and I seen this light.

156
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,960
It was very faint at first and then it kept getting closer and closer and closer and engulfed

157
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,960
me.

158
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:02,800
Then when I opened my eyes again, I was greeted with this being, but it didn't really, he

159
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,360
didn't really have a face or anything.

160
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,760
I just felt a male energy and he didn't really have a form.

161
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:16,400
It was just like a very bright B and he welcomed me.

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,760
He was like, welcome and then I just felt sorry.

163
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,200
That's okay.

164
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,640
I know it's difficult to relive and this is the beautiful part too.

165
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,120
I just felt like this.

166
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,120
I'm sorry.

167
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,560
It is overwhelming love and peace that I've never felt before.

168
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:49,320
I've always felt like I was just there and a burden and I just, I just felt it and I,

169
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,680
my little me, my inner child or whatever, I was crying as well.

170
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:54,880
I don't know why I was crying.

171
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,400
I'm like, why am I crying?

172
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:05,240
But it was just this overwhelming feeling around my body that I just couldn't ignore and it

173
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,440
was so beautiful.

174
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,600
In addition to this wonderful feeling, were you seeing anything at this point?

175
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,040
You just said it was beautiful.

176
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,680
Did you see something?

177
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:15,680
I did.

178
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:20,120
It was like a library of some sort.

179
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:26,280
The gentleman was next to me and then there were other beings like gathered around a table

180
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,480
and they were reading, look like they were reading books or something.

181
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:39,040
But they said hello to me and you can just tell that they were at peace and loving.

182
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,680
At this point, I still didn't know where I was.

183
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:51,720
I was all sorts of confused and then Miss Bing told me to follow him and I didn't really

184
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,720
question it.

185
00:10:52,720 --> 00:11:00,200
I didn't ask any questions because at five years old, I mean, it was a lot to take in.

186
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:07,280
So I followed him into this room and he pulled up a, you know, we pulled up a chair on this

187
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,280
table and he told me to sit down, which I did.

188
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,560
And he sat right next to me and in front of us was a wall.

189
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:21,320
And then he did this like little motion thing and it turned into a screen and he told me

190
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,600
he wanted to show me something.

191
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:32,800
You know, it was like a movie playing and it was earth and where my body was lying.

192
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,800
I guess it was trying to show me or make me understand that my soul was separate from

193
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,640
my body at that point.

194
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,360
But I didn't recognize myself, you know, but I just recognized my little love holding me.

195
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,880
She was like rocking me back and forth, scared and worried.

196
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,720
Like I've never seen this reaction from her before.

197
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,040
And you know, it's like, well, that's my Lola, I guess that's me.

198
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Lola is, I'm sorry for, is the Filipino word for grandmother.

199
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,160
He was just trying to calm me down.

200
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
And I said, am I dead?

201
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,720
And he said, yes.

202
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,800
And I said, I don't feel dead.

203
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,680
And I said, how did I die?

204
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,400
Because I don't feel like I'm dead.

205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,960
I feel better than I did.

206
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,880
And he just laughs and, you know, he told me that my body got too hot.

207
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,960
That's how I died.

208
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:35,200
And so I remember seeing from the screen, my mother was to my grandmother's left.

209
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,840
And then there was two shaman ladies.

210
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,960
Again, like I said, they thought I was possessed.

211
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,920
So they hired faith healers to come and get rid of whatever was possessing me.

212
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,560
I remember seeing a lot of smoke.

213
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,640
Sounds like they have your body back in the house at this point.

214
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Yes, sir.

215
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Yes, sorry.

216
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Yeah.

217
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240
And your grandmother's rocking you.

218
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,720
You know, one thing that I find really interesting here is it's unusual for you

219
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,720
to be seeing what's going on with your body from a screen.

220
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,240
I hear lots of people talking about, well, like in a hospital room,

221
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,520
they're up in the corner near the ceiling looking down.

222
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Right.

223
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,240
Or later they're looking at a screen, but that's a life review.

224
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:20,880
Right.

225
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,720
And but you're seeing what's actually happening at that point on the screen.

226
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,200
That's cool.

227
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,720
That's interesting.

228
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Yeah.

229
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,040
And it wasn't like a regular screen or anything.

230
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,240
It looked like it was just a white wall and it was hollowed out.

231
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,800
And that's what I was seeing.

232
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Like it played out on earth while I was, you know, where I was.

233
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,800
And and he told me, unfortunately, it's not your time yet.

234
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,000
You have to go back.

235
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
And I'm like, what do you mean?

236
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Go back.

237
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,880
I don't want to.

238
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,440
Sorry.

239
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,200
I didn't want to go back because I told him, I'm like, I'm not loved there.

240
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,280
I don't feel this feeling there.

241
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,520
You know, I, my mom's always mad at me.

242
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,640
I know she doesn't want me.

243
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,400
She's always mad at me and hitting me.

244
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,480
And I just want to stay here.

245
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,000
And he's like, you can't stay here.

246
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,880
And like a five year old, I was crying and throwing a tantrum, you know,

247
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240
because I really didn't want to go back.

248
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,760
But he told me I needed to go back.

249
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,400
And I kept asking why, why.

250
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,600
And he told me because of love.

251
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,240
And I was like, what love?

252
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,400
I feel like here.

253
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,480
I don't feel that there.

254
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Again, he showed me the screen.

255
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,240
I know like life review shows you your past doing so and whatnot.

256
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:45,680
But to me, what he showed me was my future and my children and then who's, you know,

257
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,000
to be my husband.

258
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,760
And he told me, I know your life is going to be really hard.

259
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,080
And you're going to go through a lot.

260
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Sorry.

261
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,720
But you will be happy eventually.

262
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,800
And your children need to be born because they're going to show you.

263
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,840
What unconditional love is in this plane so that way you know.

264
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,600
And I was like, still crying because at five years old, you're going to tell,

265
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,400
I know that it's like, can't comprehend that.

266
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:30,200
And then, and then with great reluctance, I finally said, okay,

267
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:37,480
if I meant to be there and I'm not meant to be here yet, okay, I'll go back if that's

268
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800
what I need to do.

269
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:45,320
And it wasn't like any judgment or pushy pushing us from his voice.

270
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:52,960
It was, there was like great compassion and love from what I remember.

271
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,720
He gave me a choice, but he said that in order for me to learn what unconditional love was,

272
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,120
I needed to go back.

273
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Isn't that interesting that even then you actually had a choice.

274
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,960
He told you you needed to do it, but he didn't force you to go back.

275
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,320
I love the fact that there is this, this agency, this free to choose.

276
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,320
Yeah.

277
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,760
Everything in that spiritual realm.

278
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Yeah.

279
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,160
It was, like I said, he wasn't like demanding or forceful.

280
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920
It was with great compassion.

281
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:32,960
And I think he thought showing me my future and me being happy in it eventually will push

282
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
me where I get.

283
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:43,480
And then when I agreed, he showed me the screen again and we're back to me and the Philippines.

284
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320
And then I remembered the shamans.

285
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,760
They put like a candle in a spoon and there was a bowl with the cold water underneath

286
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:59,680
the spoon and they pour the candle into the bowl, the cold water and it formed like a

287
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,000
face thing, like a face of a candle.

288
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,440
And the shamans or faith healers, I'm sorry, they're called faith healers told my Lola

289
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,120
that I needed to place the candle underneath the pillow.

290
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,680
And if it broke, then I would be fine.

291
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:24,400
And if it didn't, then whoever had possessed me has taken over completely and I was gone

292
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,900
forever.

293
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:31,320
But I was laughing because I was seeing it from the screen and I'm like, I know where

294
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,320
I'm at.

295
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,320
I'm not possessed.

296
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320
I know where I'm at.

297
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,400
And she did exactly that.

298
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,120
And then he turns and tells me, okay, it's time.

299
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,600
It's time for you to go back.

300
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880
And I didn't feel the pool like everybody else did.

301
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:57,080
I just remember blackness again and then waking up and I was fine.

302
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,760
And I guess the face broke and they thought the, you know, the possession was over.

303
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:09,120
They told my grandmother it was a old white, like an older white lady with really long

304
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:14,000
black hair who had evil intent that had a hold of me.

305
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,160
That's what they told her.

306
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Now, when you say you felt fine at that point, does that mean you were well or you just weren't

307
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,040
dead?

308
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,000
You just, sorry to laugh, or you just weren't dead anymore.

309
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,040
Did you still have a high fever?

310
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,040
What do you mean by that?

311
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Yeah, I was fine.

312
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,480
You know, my body wasn't achy anymore.

313
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,560
It didn't hurt to breathe and my mind wasn't foggy.

314
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:46,560
So I just felt like, like waking up from a sleep.

315
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,560
How interesting.

316
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Okay.

317
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,960
Do you remember what happened next?

318
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,960
Yeah.

319
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,840
So after that, I told my grandmother, because I was really, really excited to tell her about

320
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,120
all this experience and everything.

321
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:03,040
And she just said, you know, oh yeah, the shamans did their work.

322
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,200
The shamans did their work.

323
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,920
The lady had a hold of you.

324
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,560
And so she didn't really believe that I went to the other side.

325
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,560
That was that.

326
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,240
And a lot of interesting things happened afterwards.

327
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,760
Tell me some of those.

328
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Sure.

329
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:25,280
Since I was so open or had high frequency from what happened coming back, I remember we were

330
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,760
stuck in traffic.

331
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,200
A traffic in the Philippines is horrible.

332
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,680
I stuck a straw up in the air and I was like, because my mom was getting frustrated being,

333
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,600
you know, in the same place for a long time.

334
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,920
So I stuck a straw in the air.

335
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,160
I guess trying to amplify my thought or something in my five year old mind.

336
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,760
And I was like, please, please, can you please let us get home soon?

337
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,480
And then after that, like all the lights that we hit were green.

338
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,960
We didn't even hit a single red light after that.

339
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,840
It was crazy.

340
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,040
I remember going to the mall with my mom and wanting a toy.

341
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,440
And we went up the escalator and she said we didn't have any money.

342
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,760
And after we got up to the escalator, I found like a stack of cash.

343
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,360
I was like, wow, now I have enough money to buy a toy.

344
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,800
You know, that was really, really neat.

345
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:26,360
When we were moving from Philippines to Guam, when I was around seven, I remember the plane

346
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,860
ride was so turbulent.

347
00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:32,560
I was going up, down, up, down, like the lights were going on and off, on and off.

348
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,000
And I was really scared.

349
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,440
You know, sitting next to my mom and I grabbed the armrests next to me and I was, please stop,

350
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000
please stop, please stop.

351
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,200
And then all of a sudden it like just was cleared again.

352
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:54,800
And I didn't know if it was me or it was just coincidence or whatnot, but it was really,

353
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,800
really neat.

354
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,560
And over the years, you've had some other spiritual and out of body experiences.

355
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:07,640
But as long as we're talking about things that you have affected, you had told me in

356
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,920
our pre-interview about your husband's Xbox.

357
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,920
Yes.

358
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,560
Tell everybody what happened with that.

359
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:23,760
So after one of my more intense meditations, all of a sudden like the Xbox, you know,

360
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:29,160
I was sitting on the couch with my kids and there was no controller right next to us and

361
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:36,960
my husband was at the table and the Xbox turns on and then, you know, he couldn't turn it

362
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,760
off because he was like, why is it on?

363
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,720
And he was like, I don't, I'm sorry.

364
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,600
I think I might have turned it on and he couldn't turn it off.

365
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,800
He couldn't turn it off.

366
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,960
So he had to turn the switch off or the search protector off.

367
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,520
And when he turned it back on, it wouldn't turn on after that.

368
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,520
I feel that.

369
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:02,120
I mean, I turned, I have turned on his Xbox like unwillingly off and on for a while,

370
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,400
but I guess that was the last time it wanted to do that.

371
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,200
So you actually killed it.

372
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,200
Oh man.

373
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,700
He was heartbroken.

374
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:17,320
He wasn't upset so much as heartbroken because he, you know, I really can't control it.

375
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,000
Like me breaking four Android phones before the sales guy was like, you know what, try

376
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
an Apple.

377
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Okay.

378
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,840
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

379
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,320
What happened exactly with that?

380
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,840
You go cell phone shopping.

381
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Yes, sir.

382
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,360
We go, oh yes, sir.

383
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:39,440
We go cell phone shopping and we were getting the new latest Samsung Galaxy phone.

384
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Quick pause here.

385
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,600
This podcast is a labor of love produced by me and my son, Will, who's a university student.

386
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,160
The show is completely free for you, but today I'd like to ask a little favor.

387
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,160
We want to keep growing and you are the key.

388
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,200
If you'd take just a couple of seconds right now to hit the follow or subscribe button,

389
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,680
then hit the share button to send it to a friend.

390
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,320
We would really appreciate it.

391
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,280
Now back to our guest.

392
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,280
And I was particular.

393
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:14,040
I wanted a white one and the sales guy showed me, you know, was ready to purchase a white

394
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,640
one and it broke.

395
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,640
And he was like, that's weird.

396
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,720
I've never seen this happen before.

397
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,000
And he did that about three more times each time with me touching it, but like for just

398
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,560
a few seconds.

399
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,720
And he was like, I don't know.

400
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,360
Why don't you try an iPhone?

401
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,040
Cause obviously Samsung's are not agreeing with you.

402
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,560
You broke four galaxies in the space of a couple of minutes.

403
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,560
Yes, sir.

404
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Wow.

405
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Glad you didn't get the bill for that.

406
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,200
No, no, no.

407
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,200
I mean.

408
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,800
I don't have phones you don't have a problem with.

409
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,520
No, well, I don't know.

410
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,320
The other night when my husband and I were sitting down, I was looking through one of

411
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,120
his apps or something and then all of a sudden his phone did something freaky.

412
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,240
One of the apps started glitching and he's like, what's going on?

413
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,240
I've never seen it do that.

414
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,240
I'm like, I'm sorry.

415
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,560
I just was like clicking through it.

416
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,560
I don't know.

417
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:10,400
Well, and we're actually recording over your iPhone today.

418
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Oh, it's working.

419
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Of course, I'll let everybody know you're not touching it.

420
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840
No, just in case.

421
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,400
I don't want to, but I haven't had an issue with this one.

422
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,520
So we're good.

423
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,440
I try not to do as many devices.

424
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,960
My daughter just got an Oculus and I'm afraid to mess with that on her behalf.

425
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,960
All right.

426
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,320
Let's, let's go back to your childhood again.

427
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Is there anything else that you want to fill us in on before an outer body experience that

428
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,840
you had?

429
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Yeah.

430
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:49,560
So again, like I said, I grew up with a myriad of traumas with my mom, like constantly verbally

431
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,400
and physically abusing me.

432
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,800
When we were in Guam after that experience, actually she barely touched me.

433
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:03,680
So I think she in her heart, she believed what happened and she, I guess was afraid of what

434
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,200
would happen to her if, so, you know, she did something.

435
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:15,880
But when we went to Florida, my father's stepdad abused me sexually.

436
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,360
So I'm sorry.

437
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:23,680
I begged my parents originally.

438
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,760
They were, it was just supposed to be my parents and my, my mom or my mom and my dad supposed

439
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,880
to go to Hawaii by themselves.

440
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,960
So without me, and I was supposed to stay with my grandmother and him.

441
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,280
And I begged them.

442
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,680
I'm like, please, please, please let me go with you.

443
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,280
I didn't want to tell them the reason because I was told not to because it was my fault.

444
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,280
I was meant to feel ashamed for what had happened.

445
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:54,520
And you know, reluctantly, they agreed to take me with them.

446
00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:01,920
And Hawaii, it was really nice because there were other half children like myself.

447
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:09,520
But this time my dad was working at night at Pearl Farber and my mom wanted to go out partying

448
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,760
with and doing other things with her friends.

449
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,120
So I was by myself at night most of the time.

450
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,560
So that was not very pleasant.

451
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,760
I remember wanting to go over my friend's house all the time to spend the night.

452
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:29,040
Unfortunately, one time her parents had called the cops because I couldn't get into my house.

453
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,200
I forgot the key inside the house and my mom wasn't answering her phone.

454
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,120
And my dad was working.

455
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:42,040
So they had to call the cops and the cops called my dad to let me inside the house and stuff.

456
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,520
So rough growing up.

457
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,640
It didn't just change and get all better.

458
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,640
No.

459
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,800
After your experience at age five.

460
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Okay.

461
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,040
Yeah, but I knew that this would happen.

462
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:58,320
So eventually my parents ended up getting a divorce and my mom didn't really want me

463
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,680
living with her and her new boyfriend.

464
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,680
And my dad was getting deployed to Diego Garcia at the time.

465
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:13,880
So I told them that I would go there to save their feeling or I thought I would be saving

466
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,880
their feeling.

467
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,000
But really I had no choice but to go back to my grandmother and the abuser.

468
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,360
And so when she wasn't around and stuff, it would happen more.

469
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:28,880
And it was just really rough.

470
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,400
But in middle school, I had this really great friend in sixth grade who I loved and cherished

471
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,280
as a sister.

472
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,800
And I would constantly go to her house to try to escape from everything.

473
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,480
And at one point when my grandmother was taking me to her house, all of a sudden she developed

474
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,280
this really sharp pain in her head.

475
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,520
And you know, she pulled over and she's like, oh my gosh, this really bad headache.

476
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,600
And I'm like, come on, grandma, let's just go back home.

477
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,000
You know, you can lay down and I'll call my friends, parents, and have them pick me up.

478
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,880
It's no big deal.

479
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,480
And she kept apologizing to me.

480
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,960
I remember her apologizing profusely to me and I kept telling her, please don't worry

481
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,960
about it.

482
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,960
Please don't worry about it.

483
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,320
I think she knew.

484
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040
She knew what was happening.

485
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,920
And when we got to the house, she told me to call my aunt who was a nurse at the tower.

486
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,720
She's still a nurse.

487
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:26,800
And while I was on the phone, she actually had a stroke and fell face down on the floor

488
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,880
first and she was barely breathing.

489
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,520
And I was trying to calm our dog at that time down and trying to tell her everything will

490
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,640
be okay while on the phone at 13 years old.

491
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,880
It was just, it was a lot.

492
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,360
Eventually, you know, we lost my grandmother.

493
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,080
But I felt her leaving.

494
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:53,440
And I took my younger cousins to the lakefront, which was fairly close to the house.

495
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,080
And we were just walking and then all of a sudden it started raining.

496
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,080
And they were like, oh, it's raining.

497
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,080
We're going to melt.

498
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,600
You know what the silly things kids do.

499
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,600
And we started running.

500
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,600
All of a sudden I just felt this, a piece of me being taken away.

501
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,560
And then I just, I just knew that she was gone.

502
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,440
And when we came back to the house, they told us kids that, you know, she didn't make it.

503
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:31,080
So that was really hard for me because I think she was protecting me from all that.

504
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,360
And then after she had passed away, my friend stopped talking to me, this girl who I viewed

505
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,760
as a sister, because I guess she, she didn't know how to talk to me after that.

506
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,200
So I lost her as a friend too.

507
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:52,200
And then that, now that we were alone, I used to actually sleep with a knife under my water

508
00:29:52,200 --> 00:30:01,520
bed, a pillow in a water bed to make sure that I was protected, you know.

509
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:09,840
But without telling anybody what was happening, I asked my uncle if I could live with them.

510
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,520
Because my cousin and I went to the same school at the time.

511
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,080
So I asked him if I could live with them and they agreed.

512
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,440
So I lived with them for a while until my dad finally retired and got our own house.

513
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:29,120
And that was at that house that we just purchased was my, the first at a body experience that

514
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,120
I had.

515
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,120
Okay.

516
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,120
Tell us about that.

517
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Sure.

518
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:40,360
So one night it was unusually cold for Florida weather and I think it was like 40 something

519
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,520
degrees or something.

520
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:47,520
And I had this personal heater right next to, on my nightstand right next to my bed.

521
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520
And I had on full blast.

522
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,480
Because you know, growing up, mostly growing up in tropical climates, 40 something is really,

523
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,480
really cold.

524
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:03,920
I had this like thermal long johns is what it's called on under my blanket.

525
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,760
And then all of a sudden, I don't know if it was another end the ear whatnot, but I

526
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:18,760
had this very, very, very vivid dream of being inside of this iron cage and the bars were

527
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,920
really, really thick.

528
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:27,720
And on top of the cage was a chain that was letting me or, you know, putting me down closer

529
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,320
and closer inside of this like very dark cave.

530
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,400
And they were like demonic beings all around and underneath was the lava.

531
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,160
And the chain was getting me down closer and closer to said lava.

532
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,480
And I remember one of the demons beings got close to the chain, grabbed onto the bar and

533
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,200
was like laughing at me.

534
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,080
And I tried screaming, but I didn't have any voice.

535
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,120
So anything was just laughing at me.

536
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:04,400
And I was like, so scary, but trying to see if I could find myself a way out.

537
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,840
I was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cave.

538
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:14,200
I just with all of my being with all of my might, I just yelled out, even though I didn't

539
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080
have a voice, I just yelled out, Jesus.

540
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:24,000
And then all of a sudden this very bright white light came across this cave and everything

541
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,080
turned bright.

542
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,640
I was no longer inside of that cave.

543
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:35,320
And then I remember being transported into my house in front of my door, my bedroom door.

544
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,760
My door was always open.

545
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,240
And I remember just watching my body sleeping.

546
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,480
And then all of a sudden I got this feeling like I was really hot and dehydrated.

547
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,080
So I go, my gosh.

548
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440
So I told myself to wake up.

549
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,800
I couldn't wake up.

550
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,720
And then I was yelling at myself to wake up.

551
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,800
And then the last time I was like, wait, God.

552
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,880
And I finally woke up, turned off my heater and got a glass of water.

553
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,600
It was so strange just looking at my body sleeping while I was outside of my bedroom

554
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,600
door.

555
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
It was sounds like more than just a dream.

556
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,680
Yeah.

557
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,600
It felt so real, I would never forget that.

558
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:22,160
And it was like my reoccurring dream of me being younger, wearing this potato sack dress

559
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,040
and I'm in line waiting.

560
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,800
And then all of a sudden there's this box and I would have to get into the box and there

561
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,240
was a guy in uniform about to shoot me and I would always wake up before I get shot.

562
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,480
It was, there's so many things like that.

563
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,480
Did you have one other out of body experience?

564
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,480
I did.

565
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,960
How old were you then?

566
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,280
I was 28.

567
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Okay.

568
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,840
What led up to that?

569
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Sure.

570
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,320
I was having a tubal ligation, you know, no more pregnancies because my second pregnancy,

571
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,320
although she's such a blessing, was very hard on my body.

572
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,040
So I couldn't, you know, go through that again.

573
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:09,800
And so after they put me an anesthesia, I remember seeing them putting tape on my eyes.

574
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:16,160
And then I just was looking at myself from like on the ceiling, like I was on the ceiling

575
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,200
looking at myself on the table while they were operating on me.

576
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:26,840
I remember them making an incision and I remember watching the monitor and I remember the little

577
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:32,200
circular classic thing that they put over my fallopian tube.

578
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,680
They had to like pry it open with one of those machines because I guess it was the really,

579
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:43,720
really hard plastic and then they put it over my fallopian tube and I just remember them

580
00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:46,280
talking about what lunch they were going to have.

581
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,640
Out of the blue, you know, during surgery, I was like, yeah, you know, we're going to

582
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,240
have combo so she, you know, comp salad is like, okay, comp salad.

583
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:58,640
Why aren't they talking about any who I digress?

584
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,960
But yeah, after my follow up surgery six weeks later to make sure that everything went well,

585
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,240
I was talking to my surgeon and then she was like, yeah, that's so weird.

586
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:13,880
So you told her the things that you remember seeing and hearing.

587
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,880
Yeah.

588
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,400
And it kind of freaked her out a little bit.

589
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,400
It really did.

590
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Cause she was like, you're really like, you know, under anesthesia.

591
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,720
How did you, I said, I just thought everything.

592
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:26,720
I saw the monitor.

593
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:33,480
I saw the device that you used to not clamp, but like put my tubes in between and like,

594
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,760
they look like an O-ring, you know, but they use it to clamp my fallopian tubes.

595
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,480
Make sure that she was really surprised by that.

596
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,480
You do know this isn't very normal, right?

597
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,920
It's a knee.

598
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,920
I mean that in a loving way.

599
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,520
Most of us don't have these kinds of experiences.

600
00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:01,360
I wonder if, if what you, what happened to you at age five kind of made you more prone

601
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,600
to these experiences later in life.

602
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,840
What's your thoughts?

603
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,320
I believe they do.

604
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,960
I honestly do as well as meditation cause I listen to Heming St. Meditation and it's

605
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,960
in a treatment and treatment program.

606
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,720
And I think that helps me as well to get to my intuition more.

607
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:23,200
I had anxiety and depression most of my life.

608
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,240
So I was actually I'm sober over one year.

609
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,240
Yay.

610
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,240
Congratulations.

611
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:31,360
Thank you.

612
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:37,920
I was self-medicating as well as had prescription medication for, you know, anxiety and depression

613
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,760
really bad.

614
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:47,960
But I believe it really helped me cause I feel people's emotions and see behind the

615
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,880
veil sort of speak.

616
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Sometimes what they say and what they actually mean are two completely different things.

617
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,240
And I, it freaks, like they get angry with me because it freaks them out.

618
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:04,040
But so I've learned to not speak my mind on the matter.

619
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,040
Can you give us an example of when that's happened recently or any example that stands

620
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,040
out?

621
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,600
Sure.

622
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:18,360
When someone told me that they cared for me, but I knew behind their eyes there was no

623
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:23,720
like real meaning behind it kind of thing.

624
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,600
You know, I can feel people's emotions.

625
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Like one time my, we just got a brand new cat and my youngest was so scared of it.

626
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:39,360
And I felt her fear at the very bottom of my back and I felt it so intensely it hurt.

627
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,200
I see events that happen or have had happened.

628
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:50,640
Like when, when my dad called me to tell me that my abuser had killed, you know, had passed

629
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,640
away.

630
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,520
I told him, oh yeah, he shot himself in the head, didn't he?

631
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:01,000
And he's like, yeah, he was really surprised that I knew that even though I was 3000 miles

632
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,520
away, you know, visiting my mom before the trial was to go about.

633
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,400
It's just little things.

634
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,160
I'm more sensitive.

635
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,000
The other day actually I was just walking to my room and then all of a sudden like I

636
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080
felt a beat like a spirit being there.

637
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,560
I didn't see it, but I just felt it.

638
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,840
And I'm like, mm, what's your intention and see it.

639
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:29,160
That most of the beings I come across in this house has, hasn't been malevolent or had any

640
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,000
ill will towards anybody here.

641
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,680
So what emotions are you feeling for me?

642
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:42,120
Um, it's a happy, well relaxed, but very curious.

643
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,200
Sorry to put you on the spot.

644
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,840
No, you're good.

645
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:47,840
Okay.

646
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:53,440
So I think it might be interesting for some of our listeners to find out how you got on

647
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,440
this show.

648
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,440
Sure.

649
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,320
Why don't you go ahead and tell everybody, because we, we never talk about this and, and

650
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,280
there's a lot of different ways that people end up being interviewed here.

651
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,560
So how did it work for you?

652
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:12,520
I was listening to different types of podcasts prior to, um, like conch, you know, metaphysics,

653
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,520
consciousness, spirit speakers, you know, psychic teachers and all that.

654
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:23,040
And although they were very helpful in my spiritual life and awakening my spiritual self, I was

655
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:29,480
like, I still don't feel like I know what happened to me, you know, with the NDE because

656
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,240
I had forgotten about it until about 2020.

657
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:38,440
And I had that meditation past life regression meditation and all of a sudden it just came

658
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,440
up to me.

659
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,520
I was like, I've been like, Oh my gosh, I need to know what happened.

660
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,800
And then I was just researching near death experience.

661
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:53,680
I've read a few here and there online, but it never really resonated with me.

662
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:59,840
So, and I came across your show on Amazon and I'm like, I might as well give it a try.

663
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:05,400
You know, hopefully I can find something that resonates with me and what happened with me.

664
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,720
And I've been hooked ever since all of your speakers have been wonderful and you have

665
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:13,320
just a calming presence to you.

666
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,160
So you reached out and sent me an email.

667
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,600
It was a nice long one, very well written.

668
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,000
Oh, I guess that I felt confident on my end.

669
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,760
Anyway, I appreciate that.

670
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:32,760
I love when people send emails to Will and I that we can go through and pick speakers

671
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:38,040
from or pick interviews from and you're sound very sincere and interesting.

672
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,560
So, so I wanted to talk to you and I knew people would love you.

673
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,640
So what other message do you have for anybody listening out there?

674
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:56,480
That I was just told that love is the answer, you know, and we're here to experience from

675
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,760
all a lot of the books I've read.

676
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,960
We as humans just get to experience what it's like here.

677
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:12,440
And on the other side, there's really, there's just love, no judgment, just love.

678
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:21,080
And just love everyone as much as you can forgive because I've forgiven that person,

679
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:26,440
mostly for myself and just try to be the best you you can be.

680
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,800
Help out as many people as you can when you can.

681
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,920
And that love that you felt during your NDE, could you explain it to us more?

682
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Sure.

683
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,480
Try to put into words now that you've had children and things, you probably understand

684
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,400
that feeling even more than you did then.

685
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:49,720
I do, but it's so hard to describe it because the love I have with my children is never

686
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:50,720
ending.

687
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:59,120
And it's like that times, oh my gosh, infinity and phantasm all have everyone at work.

688
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,280
You're just like engulfed in it once you get there.

689
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:09,800
It's this freedom of no judgment and you're just love for who you are.

690
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,760
You don't have to be anybody else other than who you are.

691
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,720
You're just loved.

692
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:20,040
It's like somebody said a thousand grandmas hugging you at the same time.

693
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,560
It's just, it engulfs your being and it's really, really beautiful.

694
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,560
How do we show more of that to people around us?

695
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,760
Just accept people for who they are regardless of how they are.

696
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:38,120
Just, you know, don't expect anything out of them and don't try to change them.

697
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,440
Just accept them and love them.

698
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:48,120
And did this experience leave you with less fear of death than a normal person would have?

699
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,120
Absolutely.

700
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,280
Actually, I wanted to go back.

701
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,040
That's embarrassing to say.

702
00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:01,640
I remember trying to alleviate my depression with taking golden teachers and it, which

703
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:07,560
is a silence I've been and getting in the tub and wanting to go back home.

704
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,240
I just wanted to go back home because I don't feel like home here.

705
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:16,880
I mean, I feel with my family home, but I miss that feeling of home.

706
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:23,280
It's kind of like, it's unfair because I love my family here, but there's no feeling like

707
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,960
the home that you experience on the other side.

708
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,840
If that makes sense.

709
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:28,840
Yeah.

710
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,520
And that guide that you had there, he said you will be happy eventually.

711
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,520
Has that happened?

712
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Yes.

713
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,120
I'm very happy with my husband and my two children.

714
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:45,560
They mean so very much to me more than anything.

715
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,520
And getting to tell them I love them a hundred times a day, even though they get annoyed

716
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,520
with me is the highlight of my day.

717
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,720
I get to hug that.

718
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:57,160
Well, my love, I'm my 12 year old, not so much anymore.

719
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,920
She doesn't like being touched anymore, but my, at least I get to, you know, cuddle and

720
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:08,040
hug on my eight year old as much as I can, so, which is close to the feeling as you can

721
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,040
get here.

722
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Well, as a parent who has had teenagers go through those years, I understand and it doesn't

723
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:17,520
last forever.

724
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Okay.

725
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,240
You'll hopefully have a cuddler again one of these days.

726
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:25,960
Anyway, Mary Grace, thanks so much for being with us today.

727
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:26,960
Thank you, Eric.

728
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,720
I hope, you know, it helps somebody.

729
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:33,720
And how do you feel now that you've had a chance to share it?

730
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,320
A little shaken, but I feel good.

731
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,120
I hope it can confuse a lot of too much.

732
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:45,600
You guys too much, but, you know, I'm very appreciative for you and this wonderful podcast

733
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:52,000
to help me share my story because even though I may be seeing, seeing crazy as some, you

734
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,840
know, at least it's, it's my experience and I was able to share it.

735
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,840
Thank you.

736
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,840
Well, I hope it's helped you.

737
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,440
I know it's helped other people.

738
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,880
Thanks again.

739
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,520
Thanks to you for listening and remember to follow and share this podcast.

740
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:39,360
Until then, I wish you everything good that you're looking for in this life and the next.
