00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,320
Hey everyone, just a quick warning about this episode of Round Trip Death.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,720
It includes graphic discussion about child abuse and may be inappropriate for children

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,160
and those sensitive to this topic.

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,360
From the time that they pronounced me deaf was a good 45 minutes.

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,320
They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart, my heart had stopped.

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,000
And I could see people screaming and crying, but I didn't realize that was actually my

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,200
physical body because I was somewhere else.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,280
The only thing that I could feel if you could imagine absolute love and peace, there wasn't

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,280
anything else to be felt.

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,440
I was greeted by people I had known in the past.

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,160
I'm back home again.

12
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:49,680
Incredibly safe and felt at home.

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,960
Welcome everybody to Round Trip Death and I'd like to welcome our guest today, Sandy

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,960
Toronto.

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,880
How are you Sandy?

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,320
I'm a little frazzled, but all right.

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,880
You've had a busy day, haven't you?

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,880
I have.

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,320
I just got all my kind of rushed in the door.

20
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:12,480
It's time and I'm so glad you made the time because what our listeners are about to find

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,800
out, I almost said don't know, what they're about to find out is I've been trying to get

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,800
you on here for six months.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,800
I'm sorry.

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,800
And today is the day.

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,680
No, don't apologize.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,200
I'm just excited because today's finally the day.

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,480
I'm happy to be here.

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Okay.

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Hey, let's get to know you a second before we get into your near-death experience.

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,680
Tell us, where do you live?

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,840
What do you do?

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,640
I live in New Hampshire and I have two cats and a child.

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:54,640
I am a machinist and I'm very proud of that because when I was 42 in 2014, I was born in

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,640
New Hampshire.

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,800
I was homeless for a little while and during that time, I decided to take an eight-week

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:07,040
boot camp, they called it, and become a machine operator, which is a little different.

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,800
All a machine operator does is put parts in and take them out of the machine, but I have

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,520
learned to hold the computer and tell it how to tell the machine what to do in order to

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,520
make a part.

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:30,000
A machinist basically is the person who runs a machine that makes tools or even woodworking

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
people.

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,120
They use lathe to make stool legs or things like that.

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:45,080
I essentially take a person's idea and I literally bring it out into the world.

44
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,280
That to me is just the most fascinating, beautiful thing about being a machinist.

45
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,000
I love it and I'm glad that I am a machinist now.

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,360
Creative.

47
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,400
Before we get into your NDE per se, I know there's a lot of background that leads up

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,400
to it.

49
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Yes.

50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:11,560
We've had a couple of guests on recently that experienced a lot of abuse as a child.

51
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,640
Your story has a bit of that as well.

52
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,520
I'm going to let you talk about as much or as little of that as you want, but kind of

53
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,520
set the stage.

54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,520
Where were you?

55
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:30,040
What was your childhood like that led to this first experience that you had?

56
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880
I was living in Idaho at the time.

57
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:40,920
My mother had been arrested for prostitution and possession of controlled substances.

58
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:49,480
She was in jail, the authorities needed some place to put me and my aunt said, hey, as

59
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,040
luck would have it, we're foster parents and we'd love to have the kids.

60
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,640
Hey, give them to us.

61
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:05,360
That's how I ended up with what I call the foster monsters because they were just brutal.

62
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,640
They were extremely abusive.

63
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:15,000
I'll be honest, I was in one of those situations that most people turn the channel because

64
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,440
they can't stand to even hear what the children went through.

65
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:28,840
When I was finally rescued, I was seven years old and I was so malnourished and so skinny

66
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:38,160
that the police officer hooked his thumb inside my pelvic bone and the back of his thumb wasn't

67
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,840
even touching my belly skin.

68
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,720
It was so caved in.

69
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,680
I was starved during the entire time that I was with them.

70
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,080
I was abused with tremendous violence.

71
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Some of it, I'm just going to kind of skate over fairly quickly.

72
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,760
There was, I don't like the word sexual abuse.

73
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,000
So I'm going to say it the way that I honestly see it.

74
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,680
I was a child sex slave for four years from age three to seven.

75
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,440
It was very violent and it was very painful.

76
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:31,000
When that was over, I was almost always bleeding.

77
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,440
In the morning, the foster woman would get up and she would find me that way.

78
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,480
She knew what was happening and she was angry at me for seducing her husband.

79
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,360
She would punish me in some way, shape, or form.

80
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,680
One of her favorite ways was to take me in the bathroom and give me either an extremely

81
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:08,920
hot shower or buckets and ice water in the tub and hold me in the tub and try to basically

82
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,680
drown me or waterboard me or whatever.

83
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,720
She would dunk me under and dunk me under and dunk me under over and over.

84
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Sometimes she would go too far and she would have to take me out and try to resuscitate me.

85
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:34,000
I don't remember which of the near-death experiences I had during that time was the first one.

86
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,160
I think there were around eight very kind of stereotypical NDEs during that time and

87
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:51,640
two or three had a void experience as well and I had another couple of kind of short

88
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,480
little visits.

89
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,520
What ones do you remember and you can tell us a lot about?

90
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,520
There are three that I talk about.

91
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:10,600
I think that the earliest one of the three was when I was told that I was having far

92
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:17,720
more kind of realistic or I kind of like to use the word pure but I'm not sure if that's

93
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,920
even the right word.

94
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:29,000
It's important to remember that they communicate to you with telepathy and you get just a chunk,

95
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,320
like a concept all at once.

96
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:37,880
You get a lot of information all at once because that's how the telepathy works.

97
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,160
I don't say, you know, this is a rose, I think it's beautiful.

98
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,680
I love to smell it.

99
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,840
You just immediately get this sense that you get the whole feeling, how it feels for me

100
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,560
to be holding the rose, how it feels for me to be, oh, it smells so wonderful.

101
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,000
So you get the entire kind of thing in one instance.

102
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,120
And when you say they communicate this way, you're talking about beings on the other side?

103
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,120
Yes.

104
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Yes.

105
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,800
In particular, I met with the same attendant over and over.

106
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,720
It was the same being who met me each time.

107
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,640
I at one point asked it, you know, well, what are you?

108
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,200
And it kind of with amusement, you know, reply, don't you know?

109
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,760
And I said, like, no, why would I ask the question?

110
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Which you know, below us were kind of amused at this.

111
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,920
And it said, you know, some people call me a guide, some people call me an angel, some

112
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:47,240
people call me a god, some people call me, you know, other things.

113
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,440
None of those things are really accurate, but none of them are really inaccurate either.

114
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,120
So you can call me whatever you want.

115
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,040
And I just decided that, you know, you're just my attendant.

116
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,520
You're my friend who's here to help me go around, do whatever.

117
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,400
And it sort of gave me this chunk of information.

118
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,400
And when you come back, you have to translate it into human words.

119
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,840
So of course, as a child, I couldn't really do that.

120
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,760
But as an adult, this is my way of expressing what it expressed to me, which is that I was

121
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:35,280
having a more realistic experience of that transition space than most people do, because

122
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,640
I was essentially just a blank slate.

123
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,880
I was so abused, I didn't know how to brush my teeth.

124
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,280
I didn't even know that brushing teeth was a thing.

125
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,800
I remember the first time I discovered about brushing your teeth, I was fascinated.

126
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,160
I got to watch a dancing toothbrush.

127
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,680
Hey, that was good stuff.

128
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,600
Anyway, I had very little teaching about anything.

129
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880
I was not going to school.

130
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,640
I was between three and seven years old.

131
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,080
So I believe when that one happened, I was around three or four.

132
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,360
And I just had no understanding of the world at all.

133
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:21,800
My world existed in that house and just the yard of that house.

134
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,800
I was not allowed anything else.

135
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,680
Rarely, I got to walk down to the stop sign with them.

136
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:30,280
That's it.

137
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,040
Every once in a while, we went to church.

138
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:39,600
There were other places where the stuff was mic, the foster father took place that I don't

139
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,240
want to get into that too much for this purpose.

140
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,960
Anyway, so my world was very small, very, very small.

141
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920
I didn't know anything.

142
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,960
And Mike and Dorothy, the foster people, they did not consider me to be a human.

143
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,520
So they were doing nothing to teach me how to be one.

144
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,720
I ate dog food on the floor and they called me a female dog.

145
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:14,080
They said, this is why you're having a much more, what this place is like if you don't

146
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,640
need something different.

147
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:24,080
And it was very clear to me that we're given what we need when we cross into that place

148
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,640
that we don't lose our minds, basically.

149
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,880
The chance is that the person might return here.

150
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:40,720
And if you take me and I'm living in New York City, let's say, and I step out of an apartment,

151
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,000
I've got my coat on because it's winter.

152
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,200
The snow is coming down super heavy.

153
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:52,200
I've got a parka and boots on top of gloves on top of gloves.

154
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,880
It's cold outside.

155
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,960
I got my face all covered.

156
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,960
And I walk out and I'm in the Sahara Desert.

157
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:03,320
So what do you think that could do to a person's mind?

158
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920
That could completely destroy your mind.

159
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,600
You know where you were.

160
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:15,120
You stepped out the door and now you're in this place that you can't conceive.

161
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,120
How did I get here?

162
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,680
I'm not prepared for this.

163
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:25,800
I'm dressed for snow and I'm standing here in a hot blazing sun in the middle of nothing.

164
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:34,880
It would break your mind and it's very important to them that they don't break the psyche, basically,

165
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,880
as the person transitions over.

166
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,560
I didn't have any of that.

167
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,400
I didn't expect to see a loved one.

168
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,120
I was a child and nobody loved me as far as I knew.

169
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,160
So who would I have expected to see?

170
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480
I didn't expect anybody.

171
00:12:51,480 --> 00:13:02,280
I didn't have an idea of religion really except they told me that Jesus doesn't love animals.

172
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,640
You're just a stupid animal.

173
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Jesus is for humans and you're not one.

174
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,200
Jesus hates you.

175
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:20,280
So I had no real expectations or there was nothing there for me from my point of view.

176
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:26,080
I didn't have an expectation of an experience, not even a subconscious.

177
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:32,200
And most people say, oh, so I only see what I expect and I don't mean that in what your

178
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,320
conscious mind expects.

179
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:40,240
I mean that from what your subconscious mind expects because it's from that deep, deep

180
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:49,280
level that you may say, oh, I think that my grandmother was the one who really loved

181
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,480
me.

182
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,880
Or you may think that, you know what, my grandmother, she always said she loved me

183
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,280
because she hated me.

184
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:03,360
So if you see somebody, if you see a figure and you know, like you feel it on every level

185
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,560
of your being, that this being is the personification of love.

186
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:14,320
The first person would see their grandmother because they, you know, my grandmother was

187
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,800
unconditionally loving to me all the time.

188
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,840
So grandma will say, hey, you know, maybe I've passed on, maybe I'm doing something

189
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,360
else, but I'm a soul so I can multitask.

190
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,360
I'll be there for you, honey.

191
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Don't you worry about it.

192
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,600
I'll be there.

193
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,320
And grandma's there.

194
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,160
The other person is not going to see grandma because they're going to say, I'm seeing an

195
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,280
unconditionally loving figure, an unconditionally loving being.

196
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Maybe they're going to see Jesus or Buddha or an angel, whatever their concept of

197
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,240
unconditional love is.

198
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,080
That's what they're going to find there.

199
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:58,720
So in that near death experience, that was where I was given to understand my kind of

200
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,160
role in this whole thing.

201
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,120
And it was, someday you're going to talk about this.

202
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:12,080
That's part of why you're doing this because someday, you know, you've chosen to take on

203
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:18,960
this responsibility and you're going to pay a terrible price for it.

204
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,520
That you'll be able to tell people, this was my experience.

205
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,080
And this is what it's like.

206
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,320
And you're loved.

207
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,720
When you go home, you're loved.

208
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,880
You're always loved.

209
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,760
And if it feels any different, just ask for help and you'll be out.

210
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:43,200
You'll be taken to the place where you're loved and welcome to one and then a place that

211
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:50,640
you should have been if somebody hadn't taught you that you didn't deserve it or all the

212
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:57,680
many things that are subconscious mind can be, can get embedded in it that says, you

213
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,480
don't deserve love, so you're not going to have it.

214
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,200
Again, it's not, that's not on the surface.

215
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,080
It's in the deep subconscious mind.

216
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Okay.

217
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,800
Help me for a minute to put the pieces together here.

218
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,640
It's such a tragic story and I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

219
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:24,080
When you were on the other side, what were you feeling, this attendant, did you feel

220
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,680
love there?

221
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,680
I did.

222
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Yes.

223
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,560
You did for the probably the first time in your life.

224
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Yes.

225
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,240
How traumatic must it have been to come back?

226
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,600
Very.

227
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,240
It was very.

228
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Were you given a choice?

229
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,920
I was.

230
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440
I was given a choice every time.

231
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,760
Tell me about that because one would think, why would you choose to come back?

232
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,280
And believe me, I'm not giving you a hard time whatsoever.

233
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,800
I just am trying to understand were you persuaded to come back?

234
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,120
For lack of a better way of saying it, I just knew I would come back.

235
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:05,120
I just knew.

236
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:06,120
Okay.

237
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:10,280
At another point, we'll probably discuss this a little bit, but for the purpose, to

238
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:17,400
me, the purpose of life is to experience everything that the divine being cannot.

239
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
That the divine, you know, I call it the divine paradox.

240
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,520
So we come here to solve the divine paradox.

241
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:31,360
And for some of us, that means taking on a lot of weight and we do it.

242
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:36,960
We come here, all souls that come here in my belief in my worldview and what I learned

243
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,800
from my in the East.

244
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,320
We come here out of love.

245
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,880
And our purpose here is to solve the divine paradox.

246
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:53,320
I knew that I would come back because I love so much.

247
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,560
But it was, it was not easy.

248
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:04,400
And I feel like, you know, have a lot of anger at my soul for choosing this.

249
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,600
I understand that it was an important thing and it had to be done.

250
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:16,600
But it's, you know, this has been hard and it's still hard today.

251
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,200
My life, all of my life has been very hard.

252
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,880
And even talking about this is really hard and have a lot of fear around it.

253
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:31,120
But it's the knowledge that I do it out of love that keeps me going.

254
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:41,720
And I finally kind of came to a understanding of my soul because I ask myself, you know,

255
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:48,320
if my child would die, if I didn't do this, if my cats would cease to exist, if I didn't

256
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:55,000
do this, if you would cease to exist, if I didn't do this, if rainbows and puppies and

257
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,360
kittens and butterflies and all the wonderful, beautiful things in this world were to cease,

258
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:08,080
would I do this life again to save those things?

259
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Would I experience everything I have again so that my child could live so that you could

260
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240
live so that my pets could live?

261
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,640
Oh, puppies, kittens, butterflies.

262
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,680
Yes, yes, I would, I would do that.

263
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:32,760
So I understand why my soul would say yes out of love because as much as I hurt and as

264
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:38,400
hard as my life is, if I would do that for someone that I love, if I would go through

265
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:45,000
all of this for someone that I love, then I would go through this for the whole universe.

266
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,040
And I believe that that's the case for every one of you.

267
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,800
We do this out of love.

268
00:19:53,800 --> 00:20:00,000
So I guess the real reason that you came back was not for yourself, it was for others.

269
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,200
Yes.

270
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,920
Was there anything else from the childhood NDEs that you can remember that you might

271
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:13,160
want to share, anything that you saw or felt or any other messages that you might want to

272
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,520
share?

273
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:24,240
I believe that my out of body experience is for me, one of the most important of my childhood

274
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,280
experiences.

275
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:35,160
And that's because for me, it is the one thing that I can never deny.

276
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:41,160
And at times I've doubted, okay, fine, what if my NDEs weren't real?

277
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:47,640
But if they actually are some big release of chemicals in the brain or whatever, I don't

278
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,640
even know.

279
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:56,160
I've looked into all of the skeptical things and I'm not buying any of them.

280
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,600
And one of the biggest reasons is because of my out of body experience.

281
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:11,480
When I was six, just after I turned six, the foster parents, first they killed my mother

282
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:17,600
and you would have thought that that would have been the reason why we went on the run

283
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,520
across the country, but that's not why.

284
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Mike violated one of the other foster girls and she escaped.

285
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,000
How many foster kids were in the home, by the way?

286
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,760
There were seven of us.

287
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Oh, wow.

288
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,760
Okay.

289
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,760
Yeah.

290
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,680
At one point there was 17 and nobody knows what happened to the other 10.

291
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,680
Oh, okay.

292
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,720
Now, when you say they killed your mother, are you being literal here?

293
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Yes.

294
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:51,640
They murdered my mother and they dismembered her and I saw them dismembering her.

295
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320
I watched it.

296
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,640
Please tell me these people have been in jail for a long, long time.

297
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,640
No.

298
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,760
They both died without any repercussions at all.

299
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,880
My mother was a prostitute and a drug addict.

300
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:11,320
If you don't understand what I'm saying there, what I'm saying there is nobody cared.

301
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,640
Nobody cared.

302
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:21,920
And I've spent most of my life trying to get somebody to do something, to arrest them and

303
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,320
then they died.

304
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,680
It took that long.

305
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,360
It took 40, five years.

306
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,560
And they still haven't done anything.

307
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,360
About the other foster kids.

308
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:39,120
Some kids in the foster system get really close with others in the family that they're

309
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:44,080
with because they're holding on and surviving with each other.

310
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:49,160
Others because they've been abused in bad situations are pretty bad to be around.

311
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,680
What was your experience?

312
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,640
We all went our own separate ways.

313
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,020
As far as I understand, all of our lives have been hard.

314
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:02,200
One of them played chicken with a train and lost.

315
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,080
I think it was probably suicide.

316
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,560
One of them is still alive.

317
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,120
He and I don't have any contact.

318
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,920
And we haven't had contact since 19.

319
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,800
Well, actually, I didn't still didn't have contact with him then.

320
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:30,640
So since 1977, 1978, 1978, I actually haven't had any contact with any of them except for

321
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,640
one.

322
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,800
Kathleen, the girl that I was just talking about, she died of an illness.

323
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,920
I'm not sure what the illness was.

324
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,400
I believe it was in 2004.

325
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,880
So it was a while ago.

326
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:51,720
The eldest of the foster kids who did not go on a run with us, he's a serial killer on

327
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,600
death row in San Quentin.

328
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,440
His name is Ramon Rogers.

329
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,160
People can look him up.

330
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:04,520
My half brother and I haven't talked since I was 23 or so.

331
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:10,880
That's pretty much, I mean, everybody's their own, you know, gone narrow in separate ways

332
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,720
all in the wind.

333
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,080
So do you think the NDs that you had as a young child helped you survive all of this?

334
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,080
Definitely.

335
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,880
I mean, factually, I would just say factually.

336
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,720
Would you have given up without him?

337
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,000
Oh, I think I just would have been dead without him.

338
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,760
I mean, I don't know how to say this and I usually don't say this quite like this, but

339
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,360
I've taken to just being honest about it lately.

340
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:44,480
You know, my childhood was so bad that I literally didn't survive it.

341
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,960
Repeatedly didn't survive it.

342
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:54,000
So without the near death experiences, without, you know, being given the option to come back,

343
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,280
without that mechanism existing, I would be dead.

344
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,280
I don't know any other way to say it.

345
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,640
I mean, I was dead and I came back.

346
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:13,320
Like I walked back into my body essentially, so of course I would be dead, but I also think

347
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:20,000
that, you know, just from a more psychological standpoint, I definitely think I would have

348
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
been dead without him.

349
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,200
I tried to commit suicide in my twenties and I think I would have tried a lot sooner than

350
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,560
that without that.

351
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Also, you know, the combination of that and a very strict religious upbringing after I

352
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:42,800
left where, you know, suicide is self-murder and you're going to hell if you do that.

353
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:49,680
You know, suicide is prohibited, but so is trying to get help so they won't do it.

354
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,080
Sounds like we need to find out just a little bit more about the rest of your childhood.

355
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,120
You said that you were saved at age seven.

356
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,320
How were you saved?

357
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,080
I want to hear a little bit of a happy ending here.

358
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,840
There was a private detective and that's what my other book that I was telling you a little

359
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:12,640
bit about, that actually is the arc, the entire arc of that book.

360
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,960
The detective chased them across the country.

361
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:25,360
He chased them from Idaho up into Oregon and Washington state and then all the way across

362
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:30,240
the United States until we were rescued in Arkansas.

363
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:37,760
And interestingly in Arkansas, they weren't actually trying to get us at that point.

364
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,560
They got, they arrested them for a stolen vehicle, for receiving a stolen vehicle.

365
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:50,360
And that's how we got rescued is because they didn't care about the warrant from Idaho.

366
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:53,560
They didn't care that, I mean, we were foster kids.

367
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,240
They were like, they're foster kids with their foster parents.

368
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,280
What do you want about, we don't, why would that be our business?

369
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,280
We don't care.

370
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,680
What proof do you have the Therapeutic Museum?

371
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,680
That's ridiculous.

372
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,880
Leave us alone about it.

373
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,000
So finally he was able to find something that he could get them arrested on.

374
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,880
And when they came to arrest them, like I said, they found us just, you know, they found

375
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,880
me skin and bones.

376
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,600
They found the other kids not well off.

377
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,840
We were living in one of those gross homes with, you know, garbage in the corners.

378
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:34,040
And I was watching a true crime video the other day and I was thinking, oh, God, that's

379
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,240
the, that's the place I used to live in.

380
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080
He just, he just stuck with it.

381
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:47,200
He stuck with it for half the, that's, I mean, that's half, more than half the nation.

382
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,840
You know his name?

383
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,120
I do, yes, but he doesn't want me giving that out.

384
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:55,120
Okay.

385
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:59,960
I was just going to let you send Kudos his way, but if he would rather be private, we'll

386
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,760
respect that.

387
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:11,440
Well he, I have given him his, you know, I've told him, I actually cried so hard, I couldn't,

388
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,040
I could barely speak.

389
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,720
And I told him how much I appreciated him and, and that, you know, he would be the hero

390
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,720
in the book and he is the hero in the book and he's the hero in my life.

391
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,720
Okay.

392
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,760
Well, our podcast is, is not about foster system or abuse per se.

393
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:35,560
I know we've gone down that road, but, but I have to ask one more question anyway.

394
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,960
After you were rescued, did it get better?

395
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Well it would be hard for it not to get better than that.

396
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,080
But did it get good, should I say?

397
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:53,000
People want a happy ending and I know they want the happy ending, but it's been really

398
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
rough.

399
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,360
My grandparents adopted me and they didn't really want me and I ended up back in foster

400
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,080
care and those two were so rough, right?

401
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,080
Yeah.

402
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,400
You know, but I'm here, I'm here and I have a child that I love very much and I have two

403
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,760
cats that I love very much and you know, that's, that's my happy.

404
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,000
How old is your child?

405
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,500
17.

406
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:20,000
Just about to turn 17, Halloween baby.

407
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,280
You had a couple of experiences as an adult too.

408
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Do you want to tell us about those?

409
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:31,360
Those are much less interesting than my out of body experience, but they're still interesting.

410
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:38,720
One of them was kind of a revisiting of the idea that we choose the life that we come

411
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,120
to live here.

412
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:45,320
And it was just more like a parable and I always am worried about a little bit about

413
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:52,080
telling this because people like focus on aspects of it and they're like, well, what

414
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,080
about that?

415
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,880
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, that, that, that wasn't important.

416
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,760
Yeah, but no, no, no, no, no.

417
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,600
So I'm going to try to tell this really carefully.

418
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,520
And I will try not to be one of those people if I can.

419
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,400
Stop me early before I make a fool of myself if I'm going down that road.

420
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,900
Okay.

421
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:21,720
I passed out in the laundry room and I found myself like, I don't know why, but I never

422
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,320
really did the tunnel thing.

423
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:29,680
Anyway, I found myself in the clouds, was my attendant there.

424
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:35,560
And whereas for my entire childhood, my attendant just looked like a light being, you know, sort

425
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:42,680
of humanoid form of light with kind of wings ish from the, I don't know, I don't even know

426
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,280
how to explain it, kind of an aura.

427
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:53,560
This time they presented themselves as a Buddhist monk, a young monk.

428
00:30:53,560 --> 00:31:00,960
And he was sitting there and it's like, you know, hey, yo, and I'm like, you're not really

429
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,840
a Buddhist monk, are you?

430
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,360
As always, I'm what you want me to be.

431
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,400
So we kind of chuckled about that just a little bit.

432
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:17,440
And then he said, you know, I want to show you what you've been wondering about, which

433
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,160
is, you know, choosing your lifetime.

434
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:28,160
And the next, you know, like this kind of train station opened up where I'm watching

435
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:39,160
it from above, and this gigantic angel walks in and she's significantly larger than the

436
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,920
other kind of angels there.

437
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,960
I'm just using the word angels because at the time I was very religious and I thought

438
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:53,000
of angels as being, you know, exalted kind of beings, but these are souls.

439
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,400
So I want to make that clear.

440
00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,040
These were souls and they were in lines like at ticket booths.

441
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:08,240
And this angel walks in and she's holding this like, or like token or whatever you want

442
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,520
to call it.

443
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:16,000
And she's got it on a necklace and she's holding on to it and she's walking in and

444
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,440
everybody kind of stops and they're turning and they're looking and they're like, oh,

445
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,600
hey, look, look.

446
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:28,880
This token means that she has kind of earned the right to go to anything she wants.

447
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:38,120
She can go have a super wonderful lifetime as a firefly on Rigel 5 or, you know, whatever

448
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:47,520
she wants to do, whatever, vacation land, she can, you know, be a horse, whatever.

449
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:54,520
And she walks in, she starts looking at each of the places and I can see, you know, this

450
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,280
is a vacation life and this got a long line and that's a vacation life and it's got a

451
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:05,240
long line and the next one's a nice life and it's got a longish line.

452
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,760
She keeps walking along and she gets down to the end.

453
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:17,360
At the end, there are three booths and each of these three booths are mostly deserted.

454
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:24,040
There's, you know, one or two people in the first one and the other two, they're bad.

455
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:29,040
These are the lifetimes that are like, okay, nobody wants to do that.

456
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,040
Nope.

457
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,520
Nobody would ever want to do these lives.

458
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,240
They're important though.

459
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,640
They're kind of necessary.

460
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,520
They're valuable, I guess, would be the word.

461
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:50,160
She takes her token and she walks over to the last one, when she slides her token across

462
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:57,160
the table or the counter and all the people are like, oh my God, she's not doing that.

463
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,520
She's doing anything, she's not going to wipe, she's doing that.

464
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:07,480
They're kind of whispering to each other like, and the angel on the other side of the ticket

465
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:13,280
booth pushes the coin back, oh, you don't want to do that.

466
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,840
And she pushes it back to him.

467
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,480
Yes, I do.

468
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,480
He pushes it back.

469
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,960
No, you don't.

470
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,720
She picks it up for a minute and she thinks about it and she puts it down and she slides

471
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:25,720
it back.

472
00:34:25,720 --> 00:34:26,720
Yes, I do.

473
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:31,840
Throw hands her the ticket and he says, you're going to fail.

474
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,080
And she says, I know.

475
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,960
And he says, well, then why do it?

476
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,880
And she says, because somebody has to.

477
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:49,960
She turns and she walks over towards the portal of birth and people at the lines are like,

478
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,960
she's going to fail.

479
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,160
Why would she do that?

480
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,160
She's wasting this.

481
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,440
She's going to fail.

482
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:04,640
She gets there and she hands her ticket over and the person working there is like, I know

483
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,640
you're going to fail.

484
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,640
You don't want to do that.

485
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,160
You're wasting it.

486
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,800
And she says, I'm going.

487
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,000
So they take it, rip it up.

488
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,400
And all the people kind of come a little closer, a little closer.

489
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,440
She's going to fail.

490
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,960
And the worker at the portal says, you're going to fail.

491
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,960
You know that, right?

492
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,320
He says, yes.

493
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,880
Why do it?

494
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,480
I have to try.

495
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,320
Somebody has to try.

496
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,720
And she jumps into the portal and way she goes.

497
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:46,440
And one thing that's really important to me to note is that this is the story of humans.

498
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,640
That's not my story.

499
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,120
It is my story, but it's our story.

500
00:35:53,120 --> 00:36:02,400
It's the human story that we come to this most difficult and dangerous and painful and

501
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,320
horrible experience.

502
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:14,040
And we assume that we could fail and fail is way too big a word.

503
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:19,200
I don't know of a better word to use, but it's also important to me that people don't

504
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,440
take that word too seriously.

505
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,240
It just means to like not complete.

506
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:32,760
And we have this really heavy judgment about failing.

507
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,080
That was the word that I first used.

508
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:44,560
That was the word that I thought of when I tried to translate this experience into English

509
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,880
language.

510
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,120
So we don't take that word too seriously.

511
00:36:49,120 --> 00:37:01,720
But also her having this token around her neck and she has earned a vacation.

512
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:06,700
As souls we can have a vacation anytime we want.

513
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:14,480
That was just again kind of me trying to interpret the sense that she could do anything she wanted.

514
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,440
She could go anywhere, be anything.

515
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,880
She was not, there was nothing requiring her to do this.

516
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,800
She had wonderful options.

517
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,400
She had wonderful things she could go do.

518
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,640
She could have gone and been so happy and she chose this.

519
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,740
And that is the human story.

520
00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:37,360
We could have gone anywhere.

521
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,160
We could have done anything.

522
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:49,600
But because we love so immensely our soul has so much love that it chooses to come here,

523
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:56,400
forget who and what it is and slog through this human experience.

524
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:02,780
So just please interpret all of that with great care.

525
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:05,600
The word fail was my word.

526
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:11,320
There is no judgment on the other side for not completing.

527
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:19,920
They were just in awe that you know this soul is taking on this task that probably can't

528
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,920
be completed.

529
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,440
Like a life that hard.

530
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:28,560
And in the most technical sense I died repeatedly.

531
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,280
So I kind of didn't complete it.

532
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,120
But I kept coming back and I kept coming back and I kept coming back.

533
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,280
And that is the only reason I'm still here is because I made those decisions to go back

534
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,880
over and over.

535
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,320
So in your opinion, what's next?

536
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,320
What's next with what?

537
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,320
I'm sorry.

538
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:54,800
Well, you're talking about why coming here to live this life on earth.

539
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:01,000
So when we do finally die and not come back like you did as a child, what's next?

540
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:09,480
The experiences that I had in the afterlife were profoundly beautiful.

541
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,160
I played.

542
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,240
I visited other planets.

543
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:14,320
I saw things.

544
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,640
I even saw people.

545
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:22,000
I call them like I've been using the word pocket universes, but I think maybe I'll just call

546
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,280
them like pocket realities or pocket worlds.

547
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,560
I don't know.

548
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:35,040
They basically create a bubble of reality where they can do anything they want together.

549
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:43,320
So you could play, I don't know, Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or Breaking Bad or like

550
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,080
you can just play and experience.

551
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,600
You can build worlds.

552
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,600
You can build societies.

553
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:58,800
You can help forge societies on positive planets.

554
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:06,960
The one rule on the other side that I'm aware of is one rule because it's the only one that's

555
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,080
needed necessarily.

556
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,920
And that is just respect others.

557
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:20,000
If there's a planet forming and it's a lava planet, don't just go play in the lava without

558
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,440
saying, hey, do you mind if I make a volcano over here?

559
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,800
Just respect.

560
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,800
That's it.

561
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,960
That's the rule and everything falls under that rule.

562
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:40,320
I believe that the highest tool and the highest emotion is love, but the highest virtue is

563
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,560
respect.

564
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,560
Everybody just has respect for everybody there.

565
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:52,160
Whether wise, have fun, enjoy your life, enjoy experiencing things.

566
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,440
There's no time there.

567
00:40:53,440 --> 00:41:00,080
So you could spin an infinite, you know, you can do the Harry Potter's from beginning

568
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,840
to end over and over and over if you want to.

569
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,640
If you're your best buddies, you can Lord of the Rings.

570
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:13,120
You can Lord of the Rings from the dawn of elves all the way through, you know, the third

571
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,960
age or whatever, the third kingdom.

572
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,360
I don't remember.

573
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,360
I don't want to.

574
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,360
Please don't make me.

575
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:19,360
And you don't have to.

576
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,560
That's the magic of it all.

577
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,720
If you like space, go examine space.

578
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:29,360
If you're a musician, you're going to have new sound.

579
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:35,560
You're going to be able to hear every level of sound like humans have the tiniest little

580
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,080
range of sound that we can use.

581
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,600
Over there, you can hear it all.

582
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:48,880
If you're an artist, you have countless colors that you can paint with now, countless colors,

583
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:49,880
not shades.

584
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,800
Yeah, that we can't even see here.

585
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:53,800
Yes.

586
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,560
We don't even have receptors for it.

587
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:04,520
So there's next is whatever you want to be next with very few limitations.

588
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,520
Okay.

589
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,520
I got to ask.

590
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:12,600
Tell me about the planets you saw and was this in your adult experiences or as a child,

591
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,040
do you remember?

592
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,600
That was all in my, definitely my child experiences.

593
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Okay.

594
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,280
Do you remember anything about them?

595
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,280
I do.

596
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:31,720
I remember some of them very well and part of them were part of the, the NDE where I

597
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:38,960
met with the divine being and it gave me the download about being a paradox, the divine

598
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,840
paradox.

599
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:46,520
So just to tell you that near death experience and kind of how that played out was, I was

600
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,960
there with my attendant and we kind of did the playing out in space.

601
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:56,000
Apparently, I really liked space before I even knew what space was.

602
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
And I enjoyed it a lot.

603
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:06,600
We were doing that and finally, attendant kind of stopped and said, what is the question

604
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,240
that you want to ask, but aren't asking?

605
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:19,560
And I just kind of remember pouring out all of my questions all at once, like this whole

606
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,280
sense and the word came out.

607
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:24,280
Why?

608
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,920
But as I said, in the telepathy, it's always a full concept.

609
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:38,240
So it was in that one burst of pain and agony, it was, why me?

610
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:39,680
Why evil?

611
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,360
Why am I suffering so much?

612
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,960
Why do other people suffer so much?

613
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:44,960
Why?

614
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,120
Like just all of it.

615
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,120
Why?

616
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,840
So my attendant said, who was me?

617
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,080
Okay.

618
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,840
And off we went.

619
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,440
It took me to a planet.

620
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,200
We were just instantly there.

621
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:09,560
I was looking up at seaweed, but they were like trees almost.

622
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:15,360
It was huge, just very, I don't know.

623
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,840
Leaves, they were just leaves.

624
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,840
It kind of made me think of tulip leaves.

625
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,880
So they were very, very tall and they were, they rippled sort of.

626
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,680
Some of them were gold with red and some with green with gold.

627
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:37,920
And this planet, I understood as soon as I was there that this planet was entirely water

628
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,920
with like an earth-like core.

629
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,360
And then just water was the rest of it.

630
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,840
There were no land elements on it above the water.

631
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,640
It was in a binary system.

632
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,240
Suns and zeros?

633
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:56,440
Trenary system.

634
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:57,440
Suns.

635
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,440
Sorry, suns.

636
00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,440
Oh, okay.

637
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:07,320
The last sun was far enough away that it kind of looked like a moon, but there were three

638
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,920
suns.

639
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,040
There were beings there that I consider mermaids.

640
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,600
And most people, when you see mermaids drawn in like books and art and all that kind of

641
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:19,600
thing.

642
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,920
They're fins at the bottom go side to side, but these beings fins actually went front

643
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:25,920
to back.

644
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,840
And I remember noticing that.

645
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:36,160
And when I later saw drawings of mermaids and stuff thinking, well, that's not right.

646
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,160
I saw them.

647
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,200
I was allowed to see them from a distance.

648
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,560
They lived a little bit higher up closer to the surface.

649
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:48,560
All of the intelligent life forms on that planet lived up closer to the surface.

650
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:54,160
So that was one way that you could tell on that, which ones were advanced in of a higher

651
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,200
evolution.

652
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:04,120
We went down into the planet deeper into the water and met with kind of dolphin like beings.

653
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,200
They could see us.

654
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:06,640
The other ones could not see us.

655
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,960
The first group that we saw them were mates.

656
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:10,960
Mermaid people.

657
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:11,960
Sorry.

658
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,560
They were gentlemen as well.

659
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:21,920
These beings took me in and just like they showed me their living space in these wonderful

660
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:22,920
caverns.

661
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:28,920
They were incredible, just beautiful structures that were actually living things similar to

662
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,600
coral.

663
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:38,920
Some of them were gigantic tubes that during certain time periods, sometimes hundreds of

664
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:44,400
years, sometimes just every few decades, depending on the circumstances of the planet, they

665
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:53,160
would come up out of their tubes and they would consume debris from the water.

666
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:58,960
A lot of them were tiny little creatures similar to coral.

667
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,560
It was incredible.

668
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:08,200
Again, colors that we don't have here, just intricate and beautiful.

669
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:13,360
And after they showed me their home, they kind of came out and they sang into the water

670
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:22,480
and very much like dolphins or humpback whales, you are water mammals do.

671
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,920
And they were not mammals.

672
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:34,240
The other pod, another pod came towards us and while they did, the pod that we were with

673
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:42,040
sort of swam in circles around me and I could feel them sort of in my energy field, I guess,

674
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,600
was the best way I can express it, helping me.

675
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:55,600
When they were done, they kind of moved back away and they said, we have blessed you by

676
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:01,000
taking some of your sorrow and pain.

677
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:09,280
And so I bowed to them and I blessed them and I told them that they would rise up more

678
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,760
quickly to the level of those above because of their kindness to me.

679
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:20,840
And the other pod arrived and they as well did the same thing and they accepted their

680
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:26,120
blessing as well and went back on their way.

681
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:32,080
We left from that planet and we went to another planet.

682
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:40,520
It's interesting because time is not really sequential there, so I don't always remember

683
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,200
what sequence I tell these in.

684
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:48,360
So I apologize if they're out of my usual sequence.

685
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:58,400
But another planet that we went to was these giant crystal spires that were, because they

686
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,120
were homes basically for the people that lived there.

687
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:08,440
And the people would take turns and they would just sing to the crystals and the crystals

688
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:18,080
because they were singing to them would grow into the right shape or form or usage for

689
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,160
the beings who were going to live in it.

690
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:27,200
There were beings who would live in the top of them and these were not necessarily intelligent

691
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,920
species like what we would think of a sapient species like humanity.

692
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,160
They were not like that.

693
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:41,040
They were more a sentient species like cats and dogs and that kind of thing, but different.

694
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:46,480
So there were species that lived in the top and then these people who lived there would

695
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,400
sing to the crystal and they were just incredible, beautiful.

696
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:59,680
It was almost like the crystals themselves wanted to create something that was not only

697
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:08,760
homey and comfortable, but also just beautiful and elegant and delicate.

698
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,880
They were absolutely magnificent.

699
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,160
Well, the beings here, I did not go and talk to them because again, it would have been

700
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,160
disrespectful.

701
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,680
They were sapient beings, the sapient people that lived there.

702
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:28,440
They were kind of similar to us, but they had softer, rounder faces.

703
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:37,880
They were a bit willowy or than we are and they did use clothing, but it was just for

704
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:38,880
leisure.

705
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,440
It was for fun.

706
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:48,400
They liked to dance with flowing garments, just colorful swinging in the breeze as they

707
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:49,400
danced.

708
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,680
I really loved that one.

709
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:57,840
There were the creatures that lived on the top of them were kind of like flying squirrels,

710
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:03,560
but very large and they would jump from one to the next to the next and it was quite a

711
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:04,560
spectacle.

712
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,640
It was just beautiful.

713
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,800
Maybe humans would have been like, what?

714
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:16,120
I was not even necessarily human at that time, but I was like, wow.

715
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,480
The next place had three species.

716
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:29,520
There was a species that was kind of similar, like a cross between a cow, a horse and a

717
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:30,520
primate.

718
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:37,800
They walked on all fours and their front legs, they could curl their hands up and at where

719
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:44,800
we would think of as like the knuckles, there were hard pads like both legs things that

720
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,160
they could walk on.

721
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:54,120
Their back legs were similar to horses or cows, more like cows, I think.

722
00:51:54,120 --> 00:52:01,600
They had these primate friends who would hitch a ride, but they would be underneath them

723
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:07,160
as they walked, not riding on their back, but instead just their arms wrapped around

724
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,160
them.

725
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:16,440
The third species was just kind of, they were primate, very primate, like and very helper

726
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,000
to the others.

727
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,400
The second species could see us and the other two couldn't.

728
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:30,760
When they did, they raised both hands up, like just in a greeting and I understood it, like

729
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,760
we would think of it as a surrender gesture, but to them, that was just their way of saying,

730
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:40,680
hello, hello, hello.

731
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:46,320
When they did that, the others would kind of turn blindly in our direction and raised

732
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,240
their arms as well, hello, hello.

733
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:52,400
It was also very beautiful.

734
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:59,800
Their life was very, very simple and yet it was very clear that all three species were

735
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,960
very intelligent.

736
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:09,760
The third species less than the other two, but both of the first two would be much more

737
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:17,560
intelligent than Einstein, Tesla, think of our great minds, they were radically more

738
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,560
intelligent than them.

739
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:25,640
I don't think I've ever remembered to mention that before, but the very simplicity of the

740
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:32,920
way they lived, if we as humans, like let's say we got into space, we flew there, we landed

741
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:39,320
on it, we would think they were the most primitive idiots and we could just do, you

742
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,040
know, roll them over.

743
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,040
No way, no way.

744
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:50,880
They were brilliant beings and they were just living the way they loved to live.

745
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,080
They were happy, they were so happy.

746
00:53:55,080 --> 00:54:04,440
One important thing about the three planets, this was less the case of the lower, lower

747
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:15,000
in the water life forms, but of the water planet, from most of them, when they died,

748
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:23,840
what we think of as dying, they simply were like, hey guys, love ya, I'm off, I'm out

749
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:29,280
of here, and that's it, they just left and the body just into dust.

750
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,880
There's no radiation.

751
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,200
There's no decay.

752
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,720
Nobody eats something that's living.

753
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:45,440
All of their nourishment, energy, that all comes from their sons, all of it.

754
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,440
It's not like here.

755
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:56,480
People seem to really believe that the universe is just full of the way that Earth is, you

756
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:03,560
know, predation and degradation and decay and, you know, oh, we have to have bugs because

757
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:08,440
they're the ones that scavenged death and it's not like that.

758
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:14,560
They just decide to go and they kind of turn into dust.

759
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:20,560
This is amazing and sounds fantastic and we need to wrap up here soon.

760
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,400
I have a couple of quick questions.

761
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:30,120
This first one, I do not mean this rudely or facetiously at all, but what would you

762
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:35,040
say to someone that said, oh, that was just a six-year-old's imagination making that

763
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,040
stuff up?

764
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,240
How do you know it's real?

765
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:40,800
So first off, the out-of-body experience.

766
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:45,280
I listened to a conversation away from my body and when I returned back to it, I was

767
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,240
able to repeat the conversation word for word.

768
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:51,400
I mean, a six-year-old doesn't remember that.

769
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,400
That's number one.

770
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,920
But number two, as I mentioned early on, I was kept extremely isolated.

771
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,040
I didn't know anything about planets.

772
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,040
I didn't know anything about suns.

773
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,880
I didn't know anything about black holes.

774
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,440
I didn't know anything about any of those things that I saw.

775
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,080
I had no frame of reference for that whatsoever.

776
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,200
I didn't know about aliens.

777
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,600
Nothing.

778
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:22,000
I just can't imagine that somehow as a completely isolated kid who didn't know how to read,

779
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,480
wasn't allowed to watch TV, etc., etc.

780
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,920
I understood about planets.

781
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,440
I understood about evolution.

782
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,720
It just doesn't make any sense to me.

783
00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:35,720
Yeah.

784
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:37,520
That's a good explanation.

785
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:38,520
Yeah.

786
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:43,640
Also, I know it's real because it was more real than here.

787
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,640
This is not very real.

788
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,640
Yeah.

789
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,120
This is not very real.

790
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:53,400
We don't have sensors to see the colors that I saw.

791
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,240
We don't have the depth of hearing that I had.

792
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:59,680
So it's not possible.

793
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,800
That's a great explanation.

794
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:08,600
And lastly, out of all of these experiences, what would you like to share with the people

795
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:09,600
listening today?

796
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,560
We have thousands of listeners all over the world.

797
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:14,920
This is your time.

798
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,920
Choose love when you can.

799
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,840
Remember that the first person who needs love is you.

800
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:28,120
And when you can, respect the greatest virtue.

801
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:33,160
Even if you can't love somebody, just be respectful of them if you can.

802
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:41,160
Last but not least, please understand that everybody in the entire world, everybody

803
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,000
deserves love and that means you.

804
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,440
Too many people cannot bring themselves to love themselves.

805
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,560
There is no judgment from the other side.

806
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,720
There's no expectation that you do this, that, or the other thing.

807
00:57:54,720 --> 00:58:00,680
So pick a passion, stick to it like a burr and go for it.

808
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:01,680
Go all out.

809
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,240
Nobody's going to be mad at you.

810
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,280
There's not some special thing you have to find.

811
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,680
Oh, I have to find my purpose in life.

812
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:09,680
You're here.

813
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,720
That's your purpose in life.

814
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,280
That's it.

815
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,160
Everything else is great for you.

816
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:17,160
Thanks, Sandy.

817
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,160
That was great.

818
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:23,600
Thank you so much for having me.

819
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:28,480
Thanks to you for listening and remember to follow and share this podcast.

820
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:58,320
Until then, I wish you everything good that you're looking for in this life and the next.
