Speaker 1 (00:00):
And you're here. Thanks for choosing the I Heart Radio

with Strange Things with Joshua P. Warren. Welcome to our podcast.

(01:14):
This is Strange Things When Joshua Warren, I am Joshua Warren.
Each week on this show, I'll be bringing you brand
new mind blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you
(01:34):
can do at home, and a lot more on this
edition of the program. This Happens When You Die and
and Wayne Newton story that's kind of a bonus, you know. Yes,
I've I've lived in Las Vegas for five years and
(01:58):
I finally got to see Mr Las Vegas, the legendary
Wayne Newton perform his show. I was right near the stage.
He's eighty years old, and he told a really interesting
story that I'm going to share with you in a
little bit, But first I am recording this show in
late October. So Halloween is on my mind, of course,
(02:22):
And the general concept behind Halloween is that when you die,
you don't really die. There are spirits that live on
and we can sometimes interact with them. And I'll just
tell you this past year two a lot of people
in and around my circles have died. I won't go
(02:43):
down the list now. I know that happens every year
since I know a lot of people, but in this case,
a lot of them have died much younger than expected.
I mean, some of them in their thirties. And when
people die younger than expect, that it really makes you
think about the value of life and the reality of death. Uh,
(03:06):
no matter who you are, it will eventually come. And
right now the world is full of literal life and
death struggles, just as it always has been through thousands
of years. Uh, you know, the world right now, it's
full of um of a lot of challenges, and let
(03:29):
me just mention this real quick. I want to point
out that I don't talk about politics on this show
because I want you to have a refuge from all that.
But I will say this, Uh here in the USA,
we have an important election coming up soon, and I
just want to give you one piece of advice as
you consider all the challenges we have and the world.
(03:52):
You know, my entire life, I have always been registered
as an independent, and I have voted for members of
just about every party out there. I look at the
person running first and the party second, and sometimes there
is no distinction, and sometimes there is. And there's also
a big difference between voting for a local politician versus
(04:14):
a federal one. Well, I'm not going to tell you
who I think you should vote for, because I don't
even think that would make a difference. But here's what
I want to say. I have based my entire life
on the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and expression.
It is the most valuable right and the source of
true freedom. The freedom of speech does not exist to
(04:36):
protect the speech you would like. That speech, the speech
you'd like doesn't need to be protected. The freedom of
speech is there to protect the speech you do not like.
And if you allow censorship to exist, then today the
person you don't like may get censored. But guess what,
(04:58):
the tables always turn, and in the future, if we
accept that precedent, then it will be you who gets
censored next, it will be the person you like who
gets censored next. This is how the pendulum always swings,
and what goes around comes around. So hopefully you see
that and understand that. So if you enjoy this show
(05:21):
and any show for that matter, really, and you want
to hear all points of view from all shows so
you can make up your own mind about what you
want to believe, well, please please, please vote for the
candidates that you believe are most likely to preserve the
freedom of speech, even if you don't like everything about
(05:43):
that person. There is no perfect person alive, but at
least protect the right to say to that person, I
don't like you, rather than vote for someone you may
like who will eventually take that right away from you
for the future. Protect the First Amendment at all costs.
That is my advice to you as you cast your
(06:06):
vote in the U. S A. And I know some
of you are voting already. You know this month, on
October twenty two, I turned forty six years old. And
that may not sound too old to some of you,
but like Indiana Jones said, it's not the years, it's
(06:27):
the mileage. And trust me, I have put a lot
of miles on this life. I've basically lived several lifetimes,
I think, and I don't care about living to be old. Uh.
It's about quality versus quantity. For example, I love watching
my favorite movie for two hours, but I wouldn't want
to watch it for twelve hours, you know what I mean.
(06:50):
By the way, my favorite movie is Raiders of the
Lost Arc. So I don't care if I live to
be a truly old man. I'd they're not, frankly, because
it just doesn't look very fun most of the time
when I see people who live to be very old.
But I probably will since all of my grandparents lived
(07:11):
to be old as the Hills well into their nineties.
So you know, as I'm turning forty six. Here the
doctor says, we have to take new tests. Now, he goes,
now that you're this age, we can do one of
two things. We can take this end of scope, this
(07:31):
plumber's snake camera here and shove it where the sun
don't shine, or you can take this little bucket here
and give us a sample, you know what I mean?
And I said, that is a no brainer. I think
this is the easiest question I've ever been asked. So
we settled on option number two. And then the doctor asked,
(07:56):
do you ever wake up and feel anxiety? And I said, yes,
just about every day. But I presume that's probably how
squirrels and birds and fish and everything in nature feels.
I mean, isn't that just part of being here? I mean,
are there people who don't feel that? You know? Like?
(08:19):
That's my question, because I bet being a numb sociopath
is awful nice, But I understand that people are supposed
to feel things, and and if you can actually feel things,
then you're gonna feel some anxiety since everybody you know
gets to break down and die and you also die,
So this doesn't end. Well? Am I missing something here?
(08:42):
Have I been misinformed? If anything, pain and anxiety can
drive you, uh to know what you should be doing.
It helps you, It protects you, It shows you what
you should be avoiding. Um and I'm not talking about
you know, the afterlife that sounds like a fun party.
(09:04):
But what I'm talking about is what happens in the meantime,
so so there's no need to email me with your
afterlife theories and beliefs. By the way, I apologize if
this podcast is not lifting your spirits. But listen, the
doctor said I was normal. UM. But my point is,
there seems to be a reason for this. UM. If
(09:28):
you believe in an afterlife, people say, well, why does
God allow people to suffer and die? And perhaps the
reason that God doesn't always seem to care if you
live or die is because those two things are no
different to God. You've always been alive to God, and
(09:51):
you'll always be alive to God. You observe and go
through painful transitions from your point of view, but from
God's point of view, you're always just the same. You're
just a spirit going through cycles, but never actually really dying.
(10:11):
And there seems to be some kind of plan whether
or not you believe in God, there seems to be
some kind of a design behind everything that gives us
some insight, and we sometimes experience this through synchronicities in
our lives. And that takes me to the story that
eighty year old Wayne Newton told on the stage the
other day about his life and the incredible things he's
(10:34):
been through. So when we get back from our break,
I'm gonna tell you what he said. And he said
a lot of stuff, but one in particular that stands out.
I also want to say that. Um, as you know,
I try to be a very generous guy. I enjoy
giving away things, especially around the holidays. Uh. I like
(10:55):
to surprise people who follow me or people who subscribed
to my newsletter. What I don't like is when somebody
like this guy today, he emailed me out of the
blue and he says, hey, send me a free wishing
machine and a free prayer board and a free bad buster.
It's like, whoa, Well, you know, for one thing, do
(11:17):
you know even how to use those tools? Because that's
step number one. Uh. That's like send me a car.
Do you know how to drive? No? Well, maybe you
should learn how to drive first. Send me a strata varius.
Do you know how to play the violin? No, maybe
you should learn that first. Dr Molder puts a lot
of time and attention into building a wishing machine. I've
(11:37):
seen him with his carpal tunnel glove on before. Because
it's it's the wishing machine, for example, is more than
the sum of its physical parts. There's a lot of
other energy and technique that goes into crafting it. So
you know, there's this thing like, uh, don't I mean
instead of teaching, we'll let me be in this way.
Instead of giving a man of fish so he can
(11:59):
eat for a day, you teach him how to fish
so he can eat for a lifetime. And I was like, look,
if I just send you this stuff, you're not gonna
know what to do with it. They're gonna be paperweights.
You're gonna use them like a genie. You're gonna say,
give me my wish, and it's not gonna work. Instead,
it starts with information. That's the valuable thing you are
going to you're going to manifest. I'm gonna send you
(12:23):
free information and you can use that to manifest the
money to buy these tools that you want to further
your education. And I'm happy to send you free information.
That's the most important thing. And that's why if you
go to Joshua Pee Warren dot com, you'll see on
the homepage a spot from my free e newsletter. You
put your email address in there, hit the submit button,
(12:45):
you will instantly receive free links from me to information
and good luck charms and things that will start you
on your journey. That is how all this works for you.
Joshua Pee Warren dot com. I am Ushua Pete Warren,
and you are listening to Strange Things on the I
Heart Radio and Coast to Coast and parin normal podcast network.
(13:09):
And I will be right back. Welcome back to strange
(13:45):
things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
to him parin normal podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua Pete Warren, beating into your
wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver.
(14:08):
By the way, that guy who asked me to send
him all this stuff for free for no reason, total stranger.
He says he was upset that I wouldn't do it.
He says, well, what what is these you're always talking about? This?
Is this just a bunch of money making shenanigans. I
thought to myself, this guy is going to be lacking
(14:31):
the rest of his life unless he understands that the
first step, the point of all this is to learn
how to empower yourself. And you have got to be
motivated to start learning how you can make these things happen.
(14:52):
I can't do these things for you. Yes, there are tools,
but those tools you're not going to do you any
good unless you start understanding how to change your mindset
about how to manifest things. It's like they say, nobody
can do your pushups for you. Doesn't matter how rich
you are, how famous you are, how healthy you are,
(15:13):
or how sick you are. Nobody can do your pushups
for you. You have to be able to learn. And
so what I give is valuable free information that helps
people start learning, and then they don't need me to
give them things. They start manifesting and they go, wow,
now I understand how this works. And then they start
(15:34):
seeing abundance flow and they can buy things. Uh. And
that's an important part of life. And you have to
participate instead of just sit back and wait for a handout.
You're the one who's actually doing something. You're producing the magic.
And when you talk to somebody who is famous like
(15:56):
Wayne Newton, I mean this guy, surely you know who
he is, Mr las Vegas. He again, he's eighty years
old now born in nineteen forty two, and he started
performing when he was a kid, I mean like thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen years old, and he never stopped. One of the
(16:19):
hardest working people ever. He he worked with every great
name you can you can imagine. I mean, he was
best friends with the rat Pack, and you know, I
could do like a whole show just talking about the
life of Wayne Newton. And at one point he was
so super rich and famous here in Vegas, I mean,
(16:43):
the top performer. I mean he had insane like a
huge ranch with penguins and kangaroos and a helicopter and
just like like insane stuff like that, right, and at
one but he you know, at one point it all
came crashing down and he he almost lost it all
because of uh, some financial troubles and so he's had
(17:06):
big ups and downs. And it was amazing for me
and Lauren to go and see him at the Flamingo
the other night, and I was we were literally sitting
like maybe three rows back from the stage, so it
was like he was just right there in our living room, honestly,
and it was an hour and a half and it
was awesome. And he's telling stories about his life and
showing videos, and he's singing songs and his voices, you know,
(17:29):
not nearly as strong as it once was. I mean
again eighty years old, but boy, he can still play.
I didn't realize he played instruments like that. You know,
he played the violin and the guitar and the slide guitar,
and I mean he talked about some nimble fingers. But anyway,
as he's talking about his life, he told this story
that I felt I would pass along to you. He
said that when he was a very young man, Uh,
(17:52):
he was working for a while in the lounge at
Harrow's Casino in Lake Tahoe. And this was so long
ago that I'm sure everybody in this story is dead
except for Wayne Newton. So he had been working the lounge,
which was like the lowest rung that you could you
could work on as an entertainer, uh, because there was
(18:15):
the lounge and then there was the main stage, you know,
where the big feature performers would come. And so but
he he always did a great job in the lounge,
and he was very reliable, and he'd been doing it
for again quite a while. So at one point, um
there they needed an opening act for the main stage.
So he felt, well, you know, he'd obviously be interested
(18:38):
in seeing if he could be an opening act. And
he sat down with the manager and all he said was,
since there's an opening and I've been successful in the
lounge here for a long time, is it possible I
can get a shot at doing an opening act? And
he said he was shocked at this. Manager immediately became
furious and stood up and pounded his fist on the
table and said, you will never set foot on that
(19:02):
main stage and in fact, I'm not sure we even
want to have you back in the lounge again, and
stormed away. And Wayne Newton to this day has no
idea why that him suggesting that tick that guy off
so badly. It was so hurtful to him that at
that point he said, you know, maybe it's time for
(19:22):
me to stop show business. I'm still young enough, like
if if there's if I'm a problem, then I can
still go and find another trade and do something else
in life. And he called his manager and he told
his manager, I think, uh, you know, I think this
is gonna be it for me. I'm not gonna do
any more of this lounge performance. And uh, the managers like, well,
(19:45):
we gotta make some money, so let me at least
find you, you know, one more gig here so we
can save up some money. And Wayne Newton says, we'll
get me as far away from Lake Tahoe as you can,
and his manager found him a gig in Australia. So yeah,
that's pretty far from Lake Tahoe. As far as you
(20:06):
can get, he said, without starting the journey coming back,
you know, around the world the other way. So anyway,
Wayne Young, Wayne Newton ghost Australia and is performing. I
don't forget where, he said. And that's when the magic happened,
because one night there was a man in that audience
and he just happened to be on tour in Australia
(20:27):
at the same time. And that man's name was Jack Binney. Now,
for those of you who are really young, you may
not realize that Jack Benny was one of the biggest
stars of his his day. Um, he was a comedian
and he had just fantastic shows on the radio and
then TV, and uh, Jack Benny was you know, he's
(20:49):
one of the legends. He was born in eighteen ninety
four and he died in nineteen seventy four, so he
lived a long life. He died when he was eighty.
Jack Benny was in that audience in Australia saw him perform,
and uh afterward, came up and said, you know what,
my opening act as a lady from England, and after
(21:09):
this tour is over, she's gonna go back to England.
I need somebody who will open for me in the
US when I go back home. And he goes, I
want you, young Wayne Newton, to be my opening act. Okay,
this is like hitting the lotto. He could not believe this.
I mean literally, this is the biggest thing that you
could possibly imagine happening. So uh, of course Wayne Newton goes, yeah, yeah,
(21:35):
you know, send me the contract to go absolutely. So
he gets the contract together and everything's just going full
speed ahead, and Jack Benny's so excited. He goes, we
go back, We're gonna play our first big show on
the main stage at Harrah's and Lake Tahoe and Jack
and then Wayne Newton goes, actually, I guess I should
(21:58):
tell you there may be a pro blow with that.
Jack Minny's like huh, and he goes, I have been
told that I will never set foot on that main
stage and I'm not even sure I could even perform
in the lounge again. And Jack Benny listened to this
very very thoughtfully, and he goes, well, if they don't
want you, well, then let me tell you something. They're
(22:20):
not gonna have me. And Jack Benny signed him on
and contacted Harris and said, this is my opening act
and they said, okay, I guess who became as his
next show, his next big show the opener on the
main stage at Harris and Lake Tahoe. Yes, Wayne Newton.
(22:41):
And this was one of many things that helped the
skyrocket his career, you know. And he'd been on the
shows like Bonanza when he was a kid. The point
I'm making here is look at the synchronicity of that.
How does that kind of thing randomly happen? All right?
(23:04):
It doesn't. When you hear stories like that from an
eighty year old man, and he told other ones, and
you see the synchronicity, it shows you that there is
a purpose for this life, and there is a design
behind this life, and that is not all there just
(23:27):
to end and get snuffed out when you breathe your
last breath here on earth. There is meaning behind life.
Let that give you some hope. And so when we
talk about what happens when when you die, well, let's
(23:48):
think about that for a moment. If you go to
Wikipedia here and you just look up death, have you
ever done that? It says death is the irreversible cessation
of all biological functions that sustain an organism. For organisms
with a brain, death can be defined as the irreversible
(24:11):
cessation of functioning of the whole brain, including brain stem
and brain death. So they say, as of well, right now,
right now, every single day, how many people do you
think die every single day? They say a hundred and
fifty thousand people die every day, and aging is by
(24:33):
far the most common cause of death. So but we
know that even dying is not so simple as saying, well,
everything has stopped, because we have these issues about life
support machines, and you know who who gets to define
exactly when it's it's over and it's time to pull
(24:55):
the plug. It's a complex and messy thing, like a
lot of things in life. When we come back from
this break, I'm going to tell you what I think
you should keep in mind when you ask that question
of what happens when you die, and then I'm going
to go into contacting the dead. It's a good time
(25:19):
to think about that, I guess. I'm Joshua P. Warren.
You're listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast of Coast Stay in parin normal podcast network.
I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back to
(26:07):
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to
Coast m para normal podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua
pe Warren, and this is the show where the unusual
becomes usual. I was born in Asheville, North Carolina. One
(26:28):
of my favorite authors as a man who was also
born there, Thomas Wolfe. His most famous book was called
Look Homeward Angel. Yes he was very long winded, but
boy his descriptions could, even though overboard, create an almost
three dimensional image for you of what he was living
(26:49):
through and perceiving. And his brother, his older brother Ben
died of tuberculosis. And even though it's fixed realized, he
wrote about this because he was at his brother Ben's
bedside when Ben died, and he wrote this one line
(27:10):
that's always stuck with me. Thomas Wolfe wrote, we can
believe and the nothingness of life. We can believe in
the nothingness of death and of life after death, but
who can believe and the nothingness of ben You can
(27:37):
apply that, can't you too? Uh? Just about anybody who
can believe in the nothingness? Well, we all know about
the law of conservation of energy, which basically states that
energy cannot be created nor destroyed, simply transformed, conserved, and
(28:01):
transformed from one form to another. It's energy. Think about
that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only transforms
from one form to another. How many times do you
need to hear that? And all things have energy? And
(28:24):
I believe that if I am a part of the
universe and I am conscious, well then that means the
universe is conscious, that all things are conscious, and that
consciousness doesn't end, it just continues in some other form.
Consciousness is self perception. And you can have blackouts here
(28:48):
and there, but they don't last forever. And a lot
of it has to do with the polarity of vibrating
or not vibrating. You know, when I was in science
class when I was a kid, they said, there's this
thing called absolute zero, and if you reach that, no,
there's no vibration, there's no energy, everything is dead. And
(29:13):
I thought for a long time, Well, I guess that
is true death, Like like if you vibrate in any way,
Like if you can look at something under a microscope
and it's vibrating or giggly on a quantum level, even
then it's alive. But if that's all gone, I guess
that's what true death is. Well, guess what turns out?
(29:33):
Even the science has changed on that. If you look
up absolute zero here uh on Wikipedia, the Almighty Wikipedia,
it goes to say it is commonly thought of as
the lowest temperature possible, but it says that this is
(29:54):
actually impossible. The laws of thermodynamics indicate that absolute zero
cannot be reached using only thermo dynamic means, because the
temperature of the substances being cooled approaches the temperature of
the cooling agent. I know, I don't want to get
(30:16):
too technical here, but let me just say. It explains
it by saying, and a system at absolute zero still
possesses quantum mechanical zero point energy the energy of its
(30:36):
ground state at absolute zero. And thus, and listen to this,
the kinetic energy of the ground state cannot be removed.
Scientist and technologists, They routinely achieve temperatures close to absolute zero.
(30:57):
When when you're getting into the quantum world, the bows
ion Stein condestant, super conductivity, super fluidity, but once again,
the the kinetic energy of the ground state cannot be removed.
What does this tell you? It tells you that there
is energy everywhere. Energy is consciousness. You are a part
(31:20):
of that. You are conscious. So guess what Everything is
conscious to some extent and always will be. And look,
I am not I don't have a physics degree. And
some physicists may tell me that I'm totally misinterpreting this,
to which I would say to that. Physicists then explained
(31:40):
to me in plain English, how I am misinterpreting this
And you are so much smarter because scientists only exists
because there is so much we do not know. If
we knew everything, science would come to an end. So
(32:00):
some form of life and consciousness and identity continues. That's
why we're able to measure anything. But let's get to
what we're really talking about here. Well, how do you
contact the dead? How do you contact these beings? Well,
here's the truth. I have been trying for thirty years
and I can tell you there is no reliable way
(32:24):
because a dead person is no longer one thing that
can be contacted. A dead human from our lives, a
dead human becomes a spirit in the form of information
(32:45):
in the ether. So I've said this before. It's kind
of like if you have a picture of a tree
on your computer. It's not a real tree. It's information
that's designed to look like a tree, and you look
at it and you you know what it is. You
you recognize it. You can at the print button and
you can print that out, and now you have a
physical form of this representation. But even if you tear
(33:08):
up that physical print out and throw it in the garbage,
it doesn't destroy the information that was being represented by
the print out. That's like you being a design of
information and the print out being your body. You have
always been infinite, timeless patterns of information that partially transform
(33:34):
from state to state, and you will always be. You
are a signal, and some people out there that we
often call psychics, have better antennas for those signals. A
lot of them are just con artists. We know that,
but there are some people who do have this. And
I think everybody to a certain extent is capable of
(33:56):
having it, but but using technology, you know, like some tool. Well,
we are far from something that can reliably contact the dead,
so to speak, like some telephone. Instead, we just measure
the anomalous activity in the local environment when it comes
when when when the spirit. Okay, we measure the activity
(34:20):
in the environment when a spirit of a person directs
its energy toward that location. And sometimes it makes sense,
and sometimes it does not, and sometimes it only makes
sense later on after the fact. Because you cannot treat
the spirit of a person like a living human being.
That would be like treating a movie about Indiana Jones
(34:41):
the same way you treat an action figure of Indiana Jones.
These are two related but entirely different things. So the
most reliable method of communication with those who have passed
on is through observing synchronicities. Maybe some of them can
(35:02):
come through and speak English, but most of them cannot.
Most of them probably don't even care about you anymore
than you care about your own past life. You probably
don't even remember it. So here's where we come full circle. Fittingly,
(35:22):
the way that you know you live beyond death, the
synchronicities that demonstrate design and meaning in your life is
also the way you know you are communicating with a spirit.
Synchronicity is the ultimate language between you and the mysterious
(35:45):
intelligences of the universe. And that's why I believe people
like Vance Pollock, who is an historian, he is a
great channeler of this information because when he starts fixating
his attention on a person who is no longer with us,
then suddenly all of these amazing synchronicities occur that guide
(36:07):
him to the information that he wants to know regarding
that person. So let me repeat that, the way you
know you live beyond death by experiencing the synchronicities that
demonstrate design and meaning in your life is also the
(36:29):
way that you know you're communicating with the spirit just
a person in another form. Synchronicity is the ultimate language
between you and those that the mysterious intelligence as of
the universe. Hopefully that makes some sense, And I think
that's the best most honest explanation I can give you
(36:53):
right now for what happens when you die and why
that you don't really die, you just transform, you know.
Speaking of death, I recently went to sort of a
little theme park. I get a little attraction that was
set up here in Las Vegas for Halloween, and Lauren
(37:16):
and I were walking through and they had an ambulance
there and there was an e M t or or
a paramedic inside the ambulance, and I walked up and
she had a message for me. And I'm going to
share that message with you, and you know what, this
(37:39):
might save your life. Seriously. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're
listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and
Coast to Coast, a AM parinormal podcast network. I will
be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of
(38:32):
this edition of Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I am
your host, Joshua P. Warren. And here in Las Vegas,
we have this um it's kind of a park or
something like that, I guess you call it. It's it's
(38:53):
the Magical Forest. It's owned by a nonprofit and they
are always creating little events there, seasonal stuff to raise
money for charity. So you know, obviously it's like a
winter wonderland at Christmas time, and I'm sure they do
like an Easter egg hunted at Easter well for Halloween
(39:16):
you know, they turned it into this haunted Halloween village.
Unfortunately it's for a little kids mainly, so I can go.
It's not too scary. I've I've been scared too badly
and uh an adult haunted houses in my life, my
heart can't take it anymore. So I like to go
(39:36):
uh where it's they lower the terror down quite a
few notches. And so, uh, Lauren and on we got
our tickets and it was actually really cool. You know,
you're walking around, uh these trails where they have all
these scenes with purple lights, and there's characters like from
the Nightmare before Christmas and they're handing out candy to kids,
(39:58):
and you know, it's it's that kind of thing. And
at one point I see this ambulance sitting there and
we realized that, oh, this is like a an educational thing.
Uh maybe I'm sure one of the sponsors is the
local hospital, and so they're there to uh teach kids
about death. I don't know so, but uh so Lauren
(40:21):
and I we we walk up to this ambulance and
there was this very pleasant young lady with long hair
sitting inside and no god, I don't know if she
was an e M. T or a paramedic, but she
was one of those things. And she saw me and
her eyes lit up and she goes hey, and I
said hello, and she goes, I know you. And I said, oh, well,
(40:47):
really okay. And I'm thinking, well, she's seen me on
TV or you know, she's seen me on the on
the internet. I mean something like that. I mean that
that does happen sometimes, and and uh I I so
I kind you know, I'm kind of joking. And I'm
because I was that a good thing or a bad thing,
you know? And she goes, since she pauses for a minute,
(41:11):
she looks at me, and she looks at Lauren. She says,
you work at the college, right, you know? Like no,
she goes, yes, you do know, And I see that
eerie look on her face, like we don't know each other.
And now this is the point when I'm thinking, okay,
this is like when I walk up to the stage
(41:33):
coach with the band she that takes you off and
to the horizon there and the grim Reaper is like, oh,
I recognize you. You have a rendezvous with death. We
haven't a point that you know, Um, do you ever
see Darby o Gil and the Little People? So I
(41:54):
but I tell her like no, I she just goes,
do you have a brother? Icho, Nope, I don't have
a brother. And we're now we're back to like the
weird doppelganger thing. So I'm getting like a creepy feeling
that the the ambulance person is like, oh, I know
you we yeah, we we've got a destiny here. As
I said, I've never been in an ambulance. Uh, and
(42:18):
I've never come into any content. So once we kind
of got over that, she goes, well, come on inside.
So I I went inside and uh and honestly, I'm
not sure if that's true. I've never I'm I think
I was in a car accident when I was a
little kid. I might have been an ambulance, but I
was okay. So uh So Lauren and I, you know,
we get into this ambulance and you know, I'm pretty tall,
(42:38):
I'm six to uh, but you know it was bigger
inside that I thought I didn't have to stoop too much.
So anyway, we were sitting down and I don't want
to eat up time that the little kids could be enjoying.
But I said, all right, so she goes any any
questions I go, yeah, if you can. Let's say you're
on a deserted island and you can only have three
(43:01):
things too, you know, medical thing, what would you have
And she goes, oh, that's a good question. And she goes, well, soap,
clean water, and a shirt or something like that that
I could use to make a tourniquet. And I said, well,
when you say soap and water, I was like, is
(43:21):
that better than having like rubbing alcohol. She goes like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's because soap and water is. You wouldn't believe how
how much you can do, like how how valuable that is.
And then she goes, but you definitely you know something
to make a tourniquet, and so and I, you know what,
I've never had to make a tourniquet and I never
really looked into it. And I really thanked her for
(43:42):
that information. And I don't want to give you medical advice,
but you know, I just went to um uh, I
went to Google here and just typed in, like how
you know the steps to make a tourniquet. You find
the source of bleeding, you apply pressure, You get your tourniquet,
which is like you know a strip of cloth or whatever,
(44:04):
and you're supposed to uh strap it around, uh the
limb that's bleeding, but you want to get it as
high as possible. So like if it's the arm, you
want to go as close as you can to the armpit,
or if it's a leg, you go as close as
you can to the groin. But then you have to
add what's called a windless or I don't know if
(44:24):
it's a windless or a windless. So in other words,
you don't just tie it really tight. They say, just
if you just tie a tight tourniquet, that might actually
do more damage. You need something like a stick or
something you can put in there and wind it around
and really put some serious like mechanical pressure on there.
So look, just go go research that for yourself and
(44:45):
look that up. Um, but I thought that was really interesting,
you know that that's what she said. Oh yeah, by
the way, Uh do you know I read I don't
know if this is true that the John F. Kennedy's
favorite poem was a poem called I Have a Rendezvous
with Death. That's spooky, isn't it. But I learned something
(45:06):
cool from her, And uh, again it's one of those things.
It doesn't hurt to know it. Maybe knowing it saves
you from ever having to need it. That's a that's
a very strange, superstitious attitude, but it does exist. And uh,
I don't know, I don't know who the stoppelganger is
that's running around, But am I that common a looking person?
(45:29):
Maybe so? Maybe so. Um. Last thing I think I'm
gonna be able to get to before we in the
show is that, uh sens Halloween is on my mind.
You know, there's this question. I think my buddy Dean
Worsing sent me this article about why supposedly that which
(45:53):
is right around on flying broomsticks, And I'm not sure
that I ever really thought too much about that before.
And there are a number of theories, but one of
them is that it goes back thousands of years to
the tradition of magical practitioners using staffs and ones. Even
(46:19):
if you look at the Bible, you know, it's like
Moses had his staff which represented his magical power, Pharaoh's
magicians had their staffs, and Aaron had his rod um,
and that basically wands just became kind of miniaturized versions
of staffs. There's always been this idea that when when
(46:42):
you hold something that's shaped like a rod or a
wand or you know something like that. Uh, it allows
you to direct energy. And that's why, you know, you
can just use your finger and point your finger and
sometimes do the do the same kind of job. And
so when the whole flying broomstick thing came up, I
(47:04):
believe it said it was like in the Middle Ages
or something, and uh, you know, when they were persecuting witches.
And so the idea was that all these uh women
were witches, but they were hiding, of course among us,
hiding and playing sight and so they would disguise their broomsticks.
(47:24):
Actually that they would they would disguise their wands and
staffs as roomsticks so it would fit in. And then
they had, you know, of course magical power, so they
could just jump on that thing and fly around. In fact,
there was some other like weird theory that they would
(47:47):
possibly experiment with hallucinogens that they could rub on their
body that would make them feel as though they were flying,
and uh, that was also attributed to witches. Interesting theory.
So we're almost out of time. Um, there are lots
and lots of new UFO sightings occurring right now. Um,
(48:10):
there are many pilots that are saying that they're seeing
UFOs flying around the Big Dipper, which is generally speaking
looking north. I think right now at this point in
in astronomical history, so why would there be more and
more UFOs appearing over the North Pole? Basically, where are
(48:33):
they coming from? UM? I don't have time to get
into speculation, but if you have any ideas, I'd love
to hear about them, and maybe i'll I'll talk more
about that on a future podcast. But now and it's
time for us to cleanse ourselves, prepare our minds for
a great next week. Take a deep breath if you can,

This is Strange Things When Joshua Warren, I am Joshua Warren.
Each week on this show, I'll be bringing you brand
new mind blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you
(01:34):
can do at home, and a lot more on this
edition of the program. This Happens When You Die and
and Wayne Newton story that's kind of a bonus, you know. Yes,
I've I've lived in Las Vegas for five years and
(01:58):
I finally got to see Mr Las Vegas, the legendary
Wayne Newton perform his show. I was right near the stage.
He's eighty years old, and he told a really interesting
story that I'm going to share with you in a
little bit, But first I am recording this show in
late October. So Halloween is on my mind, of course,
(02:22):
And the general concept behind Halloween is that when you die,
you don't really die. There are spirits that live on
and we can sometimes interact with them. And I'll just
tell you this past year two a lot of people
in and around my circles have died. I won't go
(02:43):
down the list now. I know that happens every year
since I know a lot of people, but in this case,
a lot of them have died much younger than expected.
I mean, some of them in their thirties. And when
people die younger than expect, that it really makes you
think about the value of life and the reality of death. Uh,
(03:06):
no matter who you are, it will eventually come. And
right now the world is full of literal life and
death struggles, just as it always has been through thousands
of years. Uh, you know, the world right now, it's
full of um of a lot of challenges, and let
(03:29):
me just mention this real quick. I want to point
out that I don't talk about politics on this show
because I want you to have a refuge from all that.
But I will say this, Uh here in the USA,
we have an important election coming up soon, and I
just want to give you one piece of advice as
you consider all the challenges we have and the world.
(03:52):
You know, my entire life, I have always been registered
as an independent, and I have voted for members of
just about every party out there. I look at the
person running first and the party second, and sometimes there
is no distinction, and sometimes there is. And there's also
a big difference between voting for a local politician versus
(04:14):
a federal one. Well, I'm not going to tell you
who I think you should vote for, because I don't
even think that would make a difference. But here's what
I want to say. I have based my entire life
on the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and expression.
It is the most valuable right and the source of
true freedom. The freedom of speech does not exist to
(04:36):
protect the speech you would like. That speech, the speech
you'd like doesn't need to be protected. The freedom of
speech is there to protect the speech you do not like.
And if you allow censorship to exist, then today the
person you don't like may get censored. But guess what,
(04:58):
the tables always turn, and in the future, if we
accept that precedent, then it will be you who gets
censored next, it will be the person you like who
gets censored next. This is how the pendulum always swings,
and what goes around comes around. So hopefully you see
that and understand that. So if you enjoy this show
(05:21):
and any show for that matter, really, and you want
to hear all points of view from all shows so
you can make up your own mind about what you
want to believe, well, please please, please vote for the
candidates that you believe are most likely to preserve the
freedom of speech, even if you don't like everything about
(05:43):
that person. There is no perfect person alive, but at
least protect the right to say to that person, I
don't like you, rather than vote for someone you may
like who will eventually take that right away from you
for the future. Protect the First Amendment at all costs.
That is my advice to you as you cast your
(06:06):
vote in the U. S A. And I know some
of you are voting already. You know this month, on
October twenty two, I turned forty six years old. And
that may not sound too old to some of you,
but like Indiana Jones said, it's not the years, it's
(06:27):
the mileage. And trust me, I have put a lot
of miles on this life. I've basically lived several lifetimes,
I think, and I don't care about living to be old. Uh.
It's about quality versus quantity. For example, I love watching
my favorite movie for two hours, but I wouldn't want
to watch it for twelve hours, you know what I mean.
(06:50):
By the way, my favorite movie is Raiders of the
Lost Arc. So I don't care if I live to
be a truly old man. I'd they're not, frankly, because
it just doesn't look very fun most of the time
when I see people who live to be very old.
But I probably will since all of my grandparents lived
(07:11):
to be old as the Hills well into their nineties.
So you know, as I'm turning forty six. Here the
doctor says, we have to take new tests. Now, he goes,
now that you're this age, we can do one of
two things. We can take this end of scope, this
(07:31):
plumber's snake camera here and shove it where the sun
don't shine, or you can take this little bucket here
and give us a sample, you know what I mean?
And I said, that is a no brainer. I think
this is the easiest question I've ever been asked. So
we settled on option number two. And then the doctor asked,
(07:56):
do you ever wake up and feel anxiety? And I said, yes,
just about every day. But I presume that's probably how
squirrels and birds and fish and everything in nature feels.
I mean, isn't that just part of being here? I mean,
are there people who don't feel that? You know? Like?
(08:19):
That's my question, because I bet being a numb sociopath
is awful nice, But I understand that people are supposed
to feel things, and and if you can actually feel things,
then you're gonna feel some anxiety since everybody you know
gets to break down and die and you also die,
So this doesn't end. Well? Am I missing something here?
(08:42):
Have I been misinformed? If anything, pain and anxiety can
drive you, uh to know what you should be doing.
It helps you, It protects you, It shows you what
you should be avoiding. Um and I'm not talking about
you know, the afterlife that sounds like a fun party.
(09:04):
But what I'm talking about is what happens in the meantime,
so so there's no need to email me with your
afterlife theories and beliefs. By the way, I apologize if
this podcast is not lifting your spirits. But listen, the
doctor said I was normal. UM. But my point is,
there seems to be a reason for this. UM. If
(09:28):
you believe in an afterlife, people say, well, why does
God allow people to suffer and die? And perhaps the
reason that God doesn't always seem to care if you
live or die is because those two things are no
different to God. You've always been alive to God, and
(09:51):
you'll always be alive to God. You observe and go
through painful transitions from your point of view, but from
God's point of view, you're always just the same. You're
just a spirit going through cycles, but never actually really dying.
(10:11):
And there seems to be some kind of plan whether
or not you believe in God, there seems to be
some kind of a design behind everything that gives us
some insight, and we sometimes experience this through synchronicities in
our lives. And that takes me to the story that
eighty year old Wayne Newton told on the stage the
other day about his life and the incredible things he's
(10:34):
been through. So when we get back from our break,
I'm gonna tell you what he said. And he said
a lot of stuff, but one in particular that stands out.
I also want to say that. Um, as you know,
I try to be a very generous guy. I enjoy
giving away things, especially around the holidays. Uh. I like
(10:55):
to surprise people who follow me or people who subscribed
to my newsletter. What I don't like is when somebody
like this guy today, he emailed me out of the
blue and he says, hey, send me a free wishing
machine and a free prayer board and a free bad buster.
It's like, whoa, Well, you know, for one thing, do
(11:17):
you know even how to use those tools? Because that's
step number one. Uh. That's like send me a car.
Do you know how to drive? No? Well, maybe you
should learn how to drive first. Send me a strata varius.
Do you know how to play the violin? No, maybe
you should learn that first. Dr Molder puts a lot
of time and attention into building a wishing machine. I've
(11:37):
seen him with his carpal tunnel glove on before. Because
it's it's the wishing machine, for example, is more than
the sum of its physical parts. There's a lot of
other energy and technique that goes into crafting it. So
you know, there's this thing like, uh, don't I mean
instead of teaching, we'll let me be in this way.
Instead of giving a man of fish so he can
(11:59):
eat for a day, you teach him how to fish
so he can eat for a lifetime. And I was like, look,
if I just send you this stuff, you're not gonna
know what to do with it. They're gonna be paperweights.
You're gonna use them like a genie. You're gonna say,
give me my wish, and it's not gonna work. Instead,
it starts with information. That's the valuable thing you are
going to you're going to manifest. I'm gonna send you
(12:23):
free information and you can use that to manifest the
money to buy these tools that you want to further
your education. And I'm happy to send you free information.
That's the most important thing. And that's why if you
go to Joshua Pee Warren dot com, you'll see on
the homepage a spot from my free e newsletter. You
put your email address in there, hit the submit button,
(12:45):
you will instantly receive free links from me to information
and good luck charms and things that will start you
on your journey. That is how all this works for you.
Joshua Pee Warren dot com. I am Ushua Pete Warren,
and you are listening to Strange Things on the I
Heart Radio and Coast to Coast and parin normal podcast network.
(13:09):
And I will be right back. Welcome back to strange
(13:45):
things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
to him parin normal podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua Pete Warren, beating into your
wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver.
(14:08):
By the way, that guy who asked me to send
him all this stuff for free for no reason, total stranger.
He says he was upset that I wouldn't do it.
He says, well, what what is these you're always talking about? This?
Is this just a bunch of money making shenanigans. I
thought to myself, this guy is going to be lacking
(14:31):
the rest of his life unless he understands that the
first step, the point of all this is to learn
how to empower yourself. And you have got to be
motivated to start learning how you can make these things happen.
(14:52):
I can't do these things for you. Yes, there are tools,
but those tools you're not going to do you any
good unless you start understanding how to change your mindset
about how to manifest things. It's like they say, nobody
can do your pushups for you. Doesn't matter how rich
you are, how famous you are, how healthy you are,
(15:13):
or how sick you are. Nobody can do your pushups
for you. You have to be able to learn. And
so what I give is valuable free information that helps
people start learning, and then they don't need me to
give them things. They start manifesting and they go, wow,
now I understand how this works. And then they start
(15:34):
seeing abundance flow and they can buy things. Uh. And
that's an important part of life. And you have to
participate instead of just sit back and wait for a handout.
You're the one who's actually doing something. You're producing the magic.
And when you talk to somebody who is famous like
(15:56):
Wayne Newton, I mean this guy, surely you know who
he is, Mr las Vegas. He again, he's eighty years
old now born in nineteen forty two, and he started
performing when he was a kid, I mean like thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen years old, and he never stopped. One of the
(16:19):
hardest working people ever. He he worked with every great
name you can you can imagine. I mean, he was
best friends with the rat Pack, and you know, I
could do like a whole show just talking about the
life of Wayne Newton. And at one point he was
so super rich and famous here in Vegas, I mean,
(16:43):
the top performer. I mean he had insane like a
huge ranch with penguins and kangaroos and a helicopter and
just like like insane stuff like that, right, and at
one but he you know, at one point it all
came crashing down and he he almost lost it all
because of uh, some financial troubles and so he's had
(17:06):
big ups and downs. And it was amazing for me
and Lauren to go and see him at the Flamingo
the other night, and I was we were literally sitting
like maybe three rows back from the stage, so it
was like he was just right there in our living room, honestly,
and it was an hour and a half and it
was awesome. And he's telling stories about his life and
showing videos, and he's singing songs and his voices, you know,
(17:29):
not nearly as strong as it once was. I mean
again eighty years old, but boy, he can still play.
I didn't realize he played instruments like that. You know,
he played the violin and the guitar and the slide guitar,
and I mean he talked about some nimble fingers. But anyway,
as he's talking about his life, he told this story
that I felt I would pass along to you. He
said that when he was a very young man, Uh,
(17:52):
he was working for a while in the lounge at
Harrow's Casino in Lake Tahoe. And this was so long
ago that I'm sure everybody in this story is dead
except for Wayne Newton. So he had been working the lounge,
which was like the lowest rung that you could you
could work on as an entertainer, uh, because there was
(18:15):
the lounge and then there was the main stage, you know,
where the big feature performers would come. And so but
he he always did a great job in the lounge,
and he was very reliable, and he'd been doing it
for again quite a while. So at one point, um
there they needed an opening act for the main stage.
So he felt, well, you know, he'd obviously be interested
(18:38):
in seeing if he could be an opening act. And
he sat down with the manager and all he said was,
since there's an opening and I've been successful in the
lounge here for a long time, is it possible I
can get a shot at doing an opening act? And
he said he was shocked at this. Manager immediately became
furious and stood up and pounded his fist on the
table and said, you will never set foot on that
(19:02):
main stage and in fact, I'm not sure we even
want to have you back in the lounge again, and
stormed away. And Wayne Newton to this day has no
idea why that him suggesting that tick that guy off
so badly. It was so hurtful to him that at
that point he said, you know, maybe it's time for
(19:22):
me to stop show business. I'm still young enough, like
if if there's if I'm a problem, then I can
still go and find another trade and do something else
in life. And he called his manager and he told
his manager, I think, uh, you know, I think this
is gonna be it for me. I'm not gonna do
any more of this lounge performance. And uh, the managers like, well,
(19:45):
we gotta make some money, so let me at least
find you, you know, one more gig here so we
can save up some money. And Wayne Newton says, we'll
get me as far away from Lake Tahoe as you can,
and his manager found him a gig in Australia. So yeah,
that's pretty far from Lake Tahoe. As far as you
(20:06):
can get, he said, without starting the journey coming back,
you know, around the world the other way. So anyway,
Wayne Young, Wayne Newton ghost Australia and is performing. I
don't forget where, he said. And that's when the magic happened,
because one night there was a man in that audience
and he just happened to be on tour in Australia
(20:27):
at the same time. And that man's name was Jack Binney. Now,
for those of you who are really young, you may
not realize that Jack Benny was one of the biggest
stars of his his day. Um, he was a comedian
and he had just fantastic shows on the radio and
then TV, and uh, Jack Benny was you know, he's
(20:49):
one of the legends. He was born in eighteen ninety
four and he died in nineteen seventy four, so he
lived a long life. He died when he was eighty.
Jack Benny was in that audience in Australia saw him perform,
and uh afterward, came up and said, you know what,
my opening act as a lady from England, and after
(21:09):
this tour is over, she's gonna go back to England.
I need somebody who will open for me in the
US when I go back home. And he goes, I
want you, young Wayne Newton, to be my opening act. Okay,
this is like hitting the lotto. He could not believe this.
I mean literally, this is the biggest thing that you
could possibly imagine happening. So uh, of course Wayne Newton goes, yeah, yeah,
(21:35):
you know, send me the contract to go absolutely. So
he gets the contract together and everything's just going full
speed ahead, and Jack Benny's so excited. He goes, we
go back, We're gonna play our first big show on
the main stage at Harrah's and Lake Tahoe and Jack
and then Wayne Newton goes, actually, I guess I should
(21:58):
tell you there may be a pro blow with that.
Jack Minny's like huh, and he goes, I have been
told that I will never set foot on that main
stage and I'm not even sure I could even perform
in the lounge again. And Jack Benny listened to this
very very thoughtfully, and he goes, well, if they don't
want you, well, then let me tell you something. They're
(22:20):
not gonna have me. And Jack Benny signed him on
and contacted Harris and said, this is my opening act
and they said, okay, I guess who became as his
next show, his next big show the opener on the
main stage at Harris and Lake Tahoe. Yes, Wayne Newton.
(22:41):
And this was one of many things that helped the
skyrocket his career, you know. And he'd been on the
shows like Bonanza when he was a kid. The point
I'm making here is look at the synchronicity of that.
How does that kind of thing randomly happen? All right?
(23:04):
It doesn't. When you hear stories like that from an
eighty year old man, and he told other ones, and
you see the synchronicity, it shows you that there is
a purpose for this life, and there is a design
behind this life, and that is not all there just
(23:27):
to end and get snuffed out when you breathe your
last breath here on earth. There is meaning behind life.
Let that give you some hope. And so when we
talk about what happens when when you die, well, let's
(23:48):
think about that for a moment. If you go to
Wikipedia here and you just look up death, have you
ever done that? It says death is the irreversible cessation
of all biological functions that sustain an organism. For organisms
with a brain, death can be defined as the irreversible
(24:11):
cessation of functioning of the whole brain, including brain stem
and brain death. So they say, as of well, right now,
right now, every single day, how many people do you
think die every single day? They say a hundred and
fifty thousand people die every day, and aging is by
(24:33):
far the most common cause of death. So but we
know that even dying is not so simple as saying, well,
everything has stopped, because we have these issues about life
support machines, and you know who who gets to define
exactly when it's it's over and it's time to pull
(24:55):
the plug. It's a complex and messy thing, like a
lot of things in life. When we come back from
this break, I'm going to tell you what I think
you should keep in mind when you ask that question
of what happens when you die, and then I'm going
to go into contacting the dead. It's a good time
(25:19):
to think about that, I guess. I'm Joshua P. Warren.
You're listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast of Coast Stay in parin normal podcast network.
I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back to
(26:07):
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to
Coast m para normal podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua
pe Warren, and this is the show where the unusual
becomes usual. I was born in Asheville, North Carolina. One
(26:28):
of my favorite authors as a man who was also
born there, Thomas Wolfe. His most famous book was called
Look Homeward Angel. Yes he was very long winded, but
boy his descriptions could, even though overboard, create an almost
three dimensional image for you of what he was living
(26:49):
through and perceiving. And his brother, his older brother Ben
died of tuberculosis. And even though it's fixed realized, he
wrote about this because he was at his brother Ben's
bedside when Ben died, and he wrote this one line
(27:10):
that's always stuck with me. Thomas Wolfe wrote, we can
believe and the nothingness of life. We can believe in
the nothingness of death and of life after death, but
who can believe and the nothingness of ben You can
(27:37):
apply that, can't you too? Uh? Just about anybody who
can believe in the nothingness? Well, we all know about
the law of conservation of energy, which basically states that
energy cannot be created nor destroyed, simply transformed, conserved, and
(28:01):
transformed from one form to another. It's energy. Think about
that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only transforms
from one form to another. How many times do you
need to hear that? And all things have energy? And
(28:24):
I believe that if I am a part of the
universe and I am conscious, well then that means the
universe is conscious, that all things are conscious, and that
consciousness doesn't end, it just continues in some other form.
Consciousness is self perception. And you can have blackouts here
(28:48):
and there, but they don't last forever. And a lot
of it has to do with the polarity of vibrating
or not vibrating. You know, when I was in science
class when I was a kid, they said, there's this
thing called absolute zero, and if you reach that, no,
there's no vibration, there's no energy, everything is dead. And
(29:13):
I thought for a long time, Well, I guess that
is true death, Like like if you vibrate in any way,
Like if you can look at something under a microscope
and it's vibrating or giggly on a quantum level, even
then it's alive. But if that's all gone, I guess
that's what true death is. Well, guess what turns out?
(29:33):
Even the science has changed on that. If you look
up absolute zero here uh on Wikipedia, the Almighty Wikipedia,
it goes to say it is commonly thought of as
the lowest temperature possible, but it says that this is
(29:54):
actually impossible. The laws of thermodynamics indicate that absolute zero
cannot be reached using only thermo dynamic means, because the
temperature of the substances being cooled approaches the temperature of
the cooling agent. I know, I don't want to get
(30:16):
too technical here, but let me just say. It explains
it by saying, and a system at absolute zero still
possesses quantum mechanical zero point energy the energy of its
(30:36):
ground state at absolute zero. And thus, and listen to this,
the kinetic energy of the ground state cannot be removed.
Scientist and technologists, They routinely achieve temperatures close to absolute zero.
(30:57):
When when you're getting into the quantum world, the bows
ion Stein condestant, super conductivity, super fluidity, but once again,
the the kinetic energy of the ground state cannot be removed.
What does this tell you? It tells you that there
is energy everywhere. Energy is consciousness. You are a part
(31:20):
of that. You are conscious. So guess what Everything is
conscious to some extent and always will be. And look,
I am not I don't have a physics degree. And
some physicists may tell me that I'm totally misinterpreting this,
to which I would say to that. Physicists then explained
(31:40):
to me in plain English, how I am misinterpreting this
And you are so much smarter because scientists only exists
because there is so much we do not know. If
we knew everything, science would come to an end. So
(32:00):
some form of life and consciousness and identity continues. That's
why we're able to measure anything. But let's get to
what we're really talking about here. Well, how do you
contact the dead? How do you contact these beings? Well,
here's the truth. I have been trying for thirty years
and I can tell you there is no reliable way
(32:24):
because a dead person is no longer one thing that
can be contacted. A dead human from our lives, a
dead human becomes a spirit in the form of information
(32:45):
in the ether. So I've said this before. It's kind
of like if you have a picture of a tree
on your computer. It's not a real tree. It's information
that's designed to look like a tree, and you look
at it and you you know what it is. You
you recognize it. You can at the print button and
you can print that out, and now you have a
physical form of this representation. But even if you tear
(33:08):
up that physical print out and throw it in the garbage,
it doesn't destroy the information that was being represented by
the print out. That's like you being a design of
information and the print out being your body. You have
always been infinite, timeless patterns of information that partially transform
(33:34):
from state to state, and you will always be. You
are a signal, and some people out there that we
often call psychics, have better antennas for those signals. A
lot of them are just con artists. We know that,
but there are some people who do have this. And
I think everybody to a certain extent is capable of
(33:56):
having it, but but using technology, you know, like some tool. Well,
we are far from something that can reliably contact the dead,
so to speak, like some telephone. Instead, we just measure
the anomalous activity in the local environment when it comes
when when when the spirit. Okay, we measure the activity
(34:20):
in the environment when a spirit of a person directs
its energy toward that location. And sometimes it makes sense,
and sometimes it does not, and sometimes it only makes
sense later on after the fact. Because you cannot treat
the spirit of a person like a living human being.
That would be like treating a movie about Indiana Jones
(34:41):
the same way you treat an action figure of Indiana Jones.
These are two related but entirely different things. So the
most reliable method of communication with those who have passed
on is through observing synchronicities. Maybe some of them can
(35:02):
come through and speak English, but most of them cannot.
Most of them probably don't even care about you anymore
than you care about your own past life. You probably
don't even remember it. So here's where we come full circle. Fittingly,
(35:22):
the way that you know you live beyond death, the
synchronicities that demonstrate design and meaning in your life is
also the way you know you are communicating with a spirit.
Synchronicity is the ultimate language between you and the mysterious
(35:45):
intelligences of the universe. And that's why I believe people
like Vance Pollock, who is an historian, he is a
great channeler of this information because when he starts fixating
his attention on a person who is no longer with us,
then suddenly all of these amazing synchronicities occur that guide
(36:07):
him to the information that he wants to know regarding
that person. So let me repeat that, the way you
know you live beyond death by experiencing the synchronicities that
demonstrate design and meaning in your life is also the
(36:29):
way that you know you're communicating with the spirit just
a person in another form. Synchronicity is the ultimate language
between you and those that the mysterious intelligence as of
the universe. Hopefully that makes some sense, And I think
that's the best most honest explanation I can give you
(36:53):
right now for what happens when you die and why
that you don't really die, you just transform, you know.
Speaking of death, I recently went to sort of a
little theme park. I get a little attraction that was
set up here in Las Vegas for Halloween, and Lauren
(37:16):
and I were walking through and they had an ambulance
there and there was an e M t or or
a paramedic inside the ambulance, and I walked up and
she had a message for me. And I'm going to
share that message with you, and you know what, this
(37:39):
might save your life. Seriously. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're
listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and
Coast to Coast, a AM parinormal podcast network. I will
be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of
(38:32):
this edition of Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I am
your host, Joshua P. Warren. And here in Las Vegas,
we have this um it's kind of a park or
something like that, I guess you call it. It's it's
(38:53):
the Magical Forest. It's owned by a nonprofit and they
are always creating little events there, seasonal stuff to raise
money for charity. So you know, obviously it's like a
winter wonderland at Christmas time, and I'm sure they do
like an Easter egg hunted at Easter well for Halloween
(39:16):
you know, they turned it into this haunted Halloween village.
Unfortunately it's for a little kids mainly, so I can go.
It's not too scary. I've I've been scared too badly
and uh an adult haunted houses in my life, my
heart can't take it anymore. So I like to go
(39:36):
uh where it's they lower the terror down quite a
few notches. And so, uh, Lauren and on we got
our tickets and it was actually really cool. You know,
you're walking around, uh these trails where they have all
these scenes with purple lights, and there's characters like from
the Nightmare before Christmas and they're handing out candy to kids,
(39:58):
and you know, it's it's that kind of thing. And
at one point I see this ambulance sitting there and
we realized that, oh, this is like a an educational thing.
Uh maybe I'm sure one of the sponsors is the
local hospital, and so they're there to uh teach kids
about death. I don't know so, but uh so Lauren
(40:21):
and I we we walk up to this ambulance and
there was this very pleasant young lady with long hair
sitting inside and no god, I don't know if she
was an e M. T or a paramedic, but she
was one of those things. And she saw me and
her eyes lit up and she goes hey, and I
said hello, and she goes, I know you. And I said, oh, well,
(40:47):
really okay. And I'm thinking, well, she's seen me on
TV or you know, she's seen me on the on
the internet. I mean something like that. I mean that
that does happen sometimes, and and uh I I so
I kind you know, I'm kind of joking. And I'm
because I was that a good thing or a bad thing,
you know? And she goes, since she pauses for a minute,
(41:11):
she looks at me, and she looks at Lauren. She says,
you work at the college, right, you know? Like no,
she goes, yes, you do know, And I see that
eerie look on her face, like we don't know each other.
And now this is the point when I'm thinking, okay,
this is like when I walk up to the stage
(41:33):
coach with the band she that takes you off and
to the horizon there and the grim Reaper is like, oh,
I recognize you. You have a rendezvous with death. We
haven't a point that you know, Um, do you ever
see Darby o Gil and the Little People? So I
(41:54):
but I tell her like no, I she just goes,
do you have a brother? Icho, Nope, I don't have
a brother. And we're now we're back to like the
weird doppelganger thing. So I'm getting like a creepy feeling
that the the ambulance person is like, oh, I know
you we yeah, we we've got a destiny here. As
I said, I've never been in an ambulance. Uh, and
(42:18):
I've never come into any content. So once we kind
of got over that, she goes, well, come on inside.
So I I went inside and uh and honestly, I'm
not sure if that's true. I've never I'm I think
I was in a car accident when I was a
little kid. I might have been an ambulance, but I
was okay. So uh So Lauren and I, you know,
we get into this ambulance and you know, I'm pretty tall,
(42:38):
I'm six to uh, but you know it was bigger
inside that I thought I didn't have to stoop too much.
So anyway, we were sitting down and I don't want
to eat up time that the little kids could be enjoying.
But I said, all right, so she goes any any
questions I go, yeah, if you can. Let's say you're
on a deserted island and you can only have three
(43:01):
things too, you know, medical thing, what would you have
And she goes, oh, that's a good question. And she goes, well, soap,
clean water, and a shirt or something like that that
I could use to make a tourniquet. And I said, well,
when you say soap and water, I was like, is
(43:21):
that better than having like rubbing alcohol. She goes like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's because soap and water is. You wouldn't believe how
how much you can do, like how how valuable that is.
And then she goes, but you definitely you know something
to make a tourniquet, and so and I, you know what,
I've never had to make a tourniquet and I never
really looked into it. And I really thanked her for
(43:42):
that information. And I don't want to give you medical advice,
but you know, I just went to um uh, I
went to Google here and just typed in, like how
you know the steps to make a tourniquet. You find
the source of bleeding, you apply pressure, You get your tourniquet,
which is like you know a strip of cloth or whatever,
(44:04):
and you're supposed to uh strap it around, uh the
limb that's bleeding, but you want to get it as
high as possible. So like if it's the arm, you
want to go as close as you can to the armpit,
or if it's a leg, you go as close as
you can to the groin. But then you have to
add what's called a windless or I don't know if
(44:24):
it's a windless or a windless. So in other words,
you don't just tie it really tight. They say, just
if you just tie a tight tourniquet, that might actually
do more damage. You need something like a stick or
something you can put in there and wind it around
and really put some serious like mechanical pressure on there.
So look, just go go research that for yourself and
(44:45):
look that up. Um, but I thought that was really interesting,
you know that that's what she said. Oh yeah, by
the way, Uh do you know I read I don't
know if this is true that the John F. Kennedy's
favorite poem was a poem called I Have a Rendezvous
with Death. That's spooky, isn't it. But I learned something
(45:06):
cool from her, And uh, again it's one of those things.
It doesn't hurt to know it. Maybe knowing it saves
you from ever having to need it. That's a that's
a very strange, superstitious attitude, but it does exist. And uh,
I don't know, I don't know who the stoppelganger is
that's running around, But am I that common a looking person?
(45:29):
Maybe so? Maybe so. Um. Last thing I think I'm
gonna be able to get to before we in the
show is that, uh sens Halloween is on my mind.
You know, there's this question. I think my buddy Dean
Worsing sent me this article about why supposedly that which
(45:53):
is right around on flying broomsticks, And I'm not sure
that I ever really thought too much about that before.
And there are a number of theories, but one of
them is that it goes back thousands of years to
the tradition of magical practitioners using staffs and ones. Even
(46:19):
if you look at the Bible, you know, it's like
Moses had his staff which represented his magical power, Pharaoh's
magicians had their staffs, and Aaron had his rod um,
and that basically wands just became kind of miniaturized versions
of staffs. There's always been this idea that when when
(46:42):
you hold something that's shaped like a rod or a
wand or you know something like that. Uh, it allows
you to direct energy. And that's why, you know, you
can just use your finger and point your finger and
sometimes do the do the same kind of job. And
so when the whole flying broomstick thing came up, I
(47:04):
believe it said it was like in the Middle Ages
or something, and uh, you know, when they were persecuting witches.
And so the idea was that all these uh women
were witches, but they were hiding, of course among us,
hiding and playing sight and so they would disguise their broomsticks.
(47:24):
Actually that they would they would disguise their wands and
staffs as roomsticks so it would fit in. And then
they had, you know, of course magical power, so they
could just jump on that thing and fly around. In fact,
there was some other like weird theory that they would
(47:47):
possibly experiment with hallucinogens that they could rub on their
body that would make them feel as though they were flying,
and uh, that was also attributed to witches. Interesting theory.
So we're almost out of time. Um, there are lots
and lots of new UFO sightings occurring right now. Um,
(48:10):
there are many pilots that are saying that they're seeing
UFOs flying around the Big Dipper, which is generally speaking
looking north. I think right now at this point in
in astronomical history, so why would there be more and
more UFOs appearing over the North Pole? Basically, where are
(48:33):
they coming from? UM? I don't have time to get
into speculation, but if you have any ideas, I'd love
to hear about them, and maybe i'll I'll talk more
about that on a future podcast. But now and it's
time for us to cleanse ourselves, prepare our minds for
a great next week. Take a deep breath if you can,
