Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Nori with you,
Join Demagio with us. Respected expert on the topic of
reincarnation and the soul. She's been a member of the
Edgar Casees Association for Research and Enlightenment since nineteen eighty seven,
has earned her master's degree in transpersonal Studies and her
Spiritual mentor certification to Atlantic University. Her latest book is

(00:29):
called Soulmates and Twin Souls. Joan, Welcome back, How are you?

Speaker 3 (00:34):
How good? How are you? George? So nice to talk
to you again.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Looking forward to this and boy, you have a host
slew of books out on the soul, But Soulmates this
is one of your first, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
It is?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It is.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I really wasn't intending to write this book. It just
sort of happened.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
What is a soulmate? As far as you're concerned.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
The soulmate is someone with whom you've had past life connection.
So it's really a misunders to a concept, which is
why I wrote the book. I had somebody close to
me tell me that his wife had left him because
she was reading about soulmates and twin souls and twin flames,

(01:14):
and decided he wasn'to either of those. So she was
off to find her her true soulmate. And and I thought, well, gee,
she you know I was. I thought she knew that
I dealt with this as part of my work. I
could have said her straight about really what a soulmate is,
because it's a very misunderstood miss concept. People assume that

(01:38):
it's always a romantic partner, you know, you're looking for
that other half of you that you feel is missing,
And it's not that way at all. It's it's not
even limited to male female relationships. There are our parents,
our siblings, our children, our relatives, our colleagues and teachers

(02:02):
and friends. They're all our soulmates that we travel together,
you know, from lifetime to lifetime in this group of souls.
And that's what makes up a soulmate, somebody that's been
with you before.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Could you have a soulmate on the planet right now
that you don't even know is out there?

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Of course, yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, they haven't presented themselves
yet to you, or maybe they won't. It depends on
what your pre life planning session determined, you know, they
they told you at that time, you know, when you're
when you're planning your life out and you're in the
afterlife and you go, you know, I'm going to come
back and I'm going to work on this issue or

(02:42):
that issue. And then they say to you, Okay, I'm
going to come with you, and when I come this
is who I'm going to be, this is what I'm
going to do, this is how we're going to interact.
And so sometimes they haven't they haven't quite come in yet,
the timing isn't right, or they may be off doing
the own thing someplace else. But yeah, that's a possibility.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
And your soulmate could be your mother, could be your father,
could be your sister as well, right exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's just a soul that you have been with before
in a previous lifetime. So how they come in this
lifetime is really dependent on what their purpose is in
terms of interacting with you. If they can do the best,
you know, if they could do something that no other
soul could do in that capacity, that's how they're going

(03:31):
to come in. So they may come in as your
best friend, they may come in as your boss, they
may come in as part of a group incarnation of
people that you work with, had I've seen that, or
maybe even you know, part of an organization like I'm
part of ARI that certainly consists of soulmates of mine,

(03:53):
Unity Church. I mean anything. Anytime you're involved in any
kind of a of a group activity, any chances are
there are soulmates within that within that group.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Which beckons this Your soulmate purpose would be what.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Their companions to help you and themselves understand and resolve
issues that can best be solved in with interaction with
each other.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Spiritual issues are all kinds.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
All kinds, all kinds, not just spiritual. You know, you
could have you know, you decide what you want to
work on in this life. When you're in the afterlife,
you do your pre life planning session, say hey, I'm
going to come in and I'm going to work on
abandonment issues because I abandoned somebody in a prior lifetime
and I need to set the record straight. I need
to balance that out. And so they'll come in and go, Okay,

(04:48):
well I'm going to come in with you at some
point in time and I'm going to abandon you so
that you can experience that firsthand and see how you
deal with that. So there's that part of it. Others
come in to inspire you, to support you, to encourage you,
and so they're going to serve as your guiding star.

(05:10):
You know, they're going to either introduce you to a
new concept, maybe change your perspective on something. So there's
all sorts of ways that we interact with these other souls,
but the goal is always the same, and that's to
help us work on the whatever issue we decided we
wanted to work on in any particular lifetime.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
John, how do we know how to identify our soulmate?
How do we know that's the person?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, you have to look at a lot of the
aspects of the relationship with them. First one, do they
feel familiar to you on any level? I mean a
lot of people who you know, you feel out the
essence of them, and there's just something about them that
that that feels familiar. You have a depth of connectedness
to them, and sometimes it doesn't even make make any sense.

(06:01):
It's like, you know, if you were to actually go
out and consciously pick somebody, it may not be them.
If you look into their eyes too, the eyes are
the windows to the soul. As Shakespeare said, the eyes
don't change from one lifetime to the next. The rest
of us changes, but that doesn't. So you can you
can feel them out. You just absolutely know on some

(06:23):
really deep level that that there's a connection there.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
What is a cell mate and I hope we're not
talking about somebody in prison that.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
You met, Well, yeah, that is a cellmate is somebody
who keeps you emotionally imprisoned. So they come in the
cloak of a soulmate and you think to yourself, oh,
this is wonderful. I finally found my special somebody. But
their purpose is a little bit different. They're they're coming

(06:52):
in to create some chaos, uh, and that chaos challenges
us to address the karma that that's between us. So
sometimes with a cellmate, you know, you might experience are
euphoria initially, but later on you might feel threatened by

(07:14):
them and you don't really know why. You can't be
around them without being on guard all the time. But
it's hard to differentiate between the two because they they
are celmate, They are soulmates in every sense of the word.
It's just that their agenda is a little bit different
than the traditional soulmate.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Are they good people?

Speaker 3 (07:35):
M Yes, I would say they are good people. The
role in your life, though, is the challenge part of it?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Soant on that one?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, you know, I don't like to label anybody. Every
soul has its purpose and has its own work that
it's doing, and for us to judge it on this
side of the veil is difficult because well we shouldn't
really be judgmental at all. But you know, they often

(08:11):
come and we say, oh, that person is the worst
person in the world. I wish I'd never met them.
They came in and they created all this chaos in
my life. They've done a lot of damage to me,
to my family. You know, does that make them a
bad person? Well, you know, in the long run, what
did you learn from that experience? And that's where the

(08:33):
value comes in.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Your book is called soulmates and twin souls? What's the
twin souls end of it?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
The twin souls are different than soulmates. They're also called
twin flames and people you like to use that term.
They have twin soul. You only have one, So unlike saulmates,
where you have multiples, with a twin soul, you only
have one, and they come in with the same exact
mission that you do, so you have the same purpose

(09:03):
in this lifetime. So you're in separate bodies, but your
minds are thinking alike they so you work on the
same issue. It's almost like a two for one kind
of a deal. And it's not necessary that they incarnate
at the same time as you, and they could be
in another country, for instance, or they can even be

(09:23):
working with you from the other side. They don't necessarily
have to be in a body at the same time
as you, but it's you're both working on the exact
same issue. Like the example I give for people who
know Edgar Casey is Edgar Casey and his secretary Gladys Davis.
When mister casey died in nineteen forty five, Gladys's sole

(09:48):
purpose was to maintain the readings, to keep them safe,
because he did like fourteen thousand readings in his lifetime,
so she was trying to keep those safe, keep the
AI intact. That was her sole purpose, so that she
was his twin soul in that regard, they both were
working on the same mission. Whereas his wife Gertrude was

(10:11):
his soulmate and she helped along the way, but she
wasn't her whole purpose wasn't devoted to those to the
safeguarding of those teachings.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Do we all have soulmates and do we all have
twin souls?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
We all have both. Yes. Yes, we may not meet
our twin soul in any given lifetime. That's the hard part.
But we do all have soulmates because it's just the
nature of the fact that you travel together from one
lifetime to the other with the same group of souls.
So the souls that are around you today are the

(10:47):
same group that was with you a thousand years ago
or at the beginning of time. But we change our
gender and we change the role that we play in
each other's lives. So that's what changes from lifetime to
life time. But that group, that group stays with you,
and the advantage of that is that they know you
on a very intimate level. They know which buttons to press,

(11:10):
they know how to help you, they know how to
throw obstacles in your way. There. It's just quite beautiful
the way it all interacts.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well with Joan Demagio, we're talking about soulmates and twin souls.
How do we know how to find our soulmate.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, I would just be look around you, because you
don't have to look very far and look at the
people in your life. Think about why they're there, Think
about what your life would be like if they weren't there.
What are you learning from them that you wouldn't learn
from anybody else. This is the important part, especially with

(11:48):
our parents, you know. One of the questions I asked
during a regression is when they choose, why did you
choose your mother? Why did you choose that particular one
meant to be your mother or that particular man to
be your father? Because there's a purpose behind it. There's
a reason underlying everything, and that's what you need to

(12:10):
look at.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Can an animal be a soulmate?

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I wouldn't call them a soulmate. I'd say they were
a soul companion, you know, but I wouldn't. I don't
believe in transmigration, and that hasn't been in my experience
in the thirty five years I've been working with this,
But certainly our souls of animals have come in to
be our companions, and they can come in multiple times

(12:37):
in one lifetime.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Tell us about the soulmate relationship with a parent you
felt that was kind of unusual.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, you know, just looking at my own parents, it's
like I've always wondered why I picked my mother, why
I picked my father. My mother is a complete unknown
to me. I didn't feel like I recognized her on
any love well. But my dad, however, I knew I
had been with him multiple lifetimes, So they sort of
came as a package deal, which happens. You know, you

(13:08):
want to work with one partner in particular, and they
come with the spouse. Yeah, that's a difficult one. I had.
I had ten volunteers in my case studies in my book,
and I had one in particular who had a soulmate

(13:28):
relationship with her mother. And what I found interesting about
her was that it was a case of first case
of intergenerational incarnations that I had encountered. So the daughter
in the past life became the mother in this life,
and she knew of three prior lives, including wondering the

(13:49):
Russian Revolution in which she left her mother behind. That
resulted in all kinds of feelings of guilt, which is
what she was dealing with today. So that's that's fairly common.
That's common, sibling rivalry, sembling relationships, is another common soulmate experience.

(14:11):
So it's everywhere. It's every relationship that we have.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Well, I did a great job picking my parents. I
couldn't have done anything better.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
There you go about that.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Now with the soulmates, do you keep the same soulmate
in every different lifestyle that you've had or lifetime you've had.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, but like I said, they'll change their role and gender.
So I write about one of my soulmates, Ashley in
my book. She was a female in this life. We
were friends, but in the previous life she was male
and we were more than friends. So we had that

(14:55):
dynamic kind of working through this lifetime, which wasn't easy
about that, but good.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
But you do keep that soulmate.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, yeah, there's no unless you finished. You know, they
don't have anything else to help you work through. Then
there's no reason for them. But we kind of hang
out with each other too, you know, it's not just
always work. We can have some fun on this planet
and sometimes that's all of it is that it is
the relationship wise, And I have a lot of people

(15:26):
who come in for regressions and sometimes they have a
very pleasant past life and they're like so disappointed they're like, oh,
there's no trauma. It's pretty mundane, pretty boring, and I
but you're entitled to that. Every once in a while
you get a little bit of a respite, you know,
just come and enjoy the planet. And so yeah, so
they're around to have us, let us have a good

(15:47):
time with them.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
And though your soulmate may be helping you, aren't you
also helping them? Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Absolutely, It's a mutual experience for both of you for
different reasons, obviously. And that's what's so beautiful about it.
It's so intricately woven the way that we interact and
how we have an impact on these people and they
have an impact on us. And the whole purpose of

(16:16):
it is to learn something. You know, what did I
learned from interacting with you? Why? You know, whether it
was for a positive what I perceive as positive, what
I perceive is negative. Whether you deeply hurt me, whether
you deeply made me happy, you know, all of that
has a has a purpose within the context of that relationship.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
You'd think the verbiage of soulmate is distorted.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
M hm mm hmm. Yeah, I was. I was surprised
when I started doing research for this book how often
the term soulmate came up. I saw it in a
in a commercial for paper towels on TV. I read
it in the AARP magazine. There was an article about

(17:07):
soulmates there, and it's always, you know, always, always, always
portrayed as the love interest that you don't have, that
you're yearning to find. It's like that whole concept of
we've were split in half, which goes back to ancient literature,

(17:30):
the soul gots split in half. And now ever since then,
we've been looking for this other part of us, that
other half of us that'll make us whole. But the
secret is that we were a whole from the beginning,
that we don't need this other person to make us,

(17:50):
you know, to make us a whole again. We already
are whole.
