Hey, I’m Ian Vogel—host of Alternate Timelines. My journey started on a small farm in the midwest, where I always felt a little out of place. After years of skepticism and even a stint as an atheist, a near-death experience changed my perspective on everything. Since then, I’ve explored plant medicine, past life memories, and the mysteries of consciousness. Now, I’m sharing those experiences to help others navigate their own awakening. Through real stories, deep conversations, and wild explorations of the unknown, we’re building a community where it’s okay to question reality. You’re not alone in the unknown. 👽✨

Ian (00:00):
I'm gonna try something a little different today.
This morning I went on aFacebook group dedicated to near
death experiences.
I grabbed a bunch of questions,I wrote'em all down, and I'm
gonna do my best to answer them.
For the record, no, I'm notstoned, this is just what my
eyes look like during allergyseason.
First question, people that havedied, how much can they see on
(00:21):
earth?
Can they see us walking around?
Can they see us and everythingwe do after somebody dies?
Yes, they can see on earth, butnot everything.
And the reality is that they'refocused on doing their own
thing.
They're in heaven, they're inthe the other realm, the
(00:41):
afterlife land.
They're not focusing on what'sgoing on here.
And there is a certain degree ofprivacy.
So to answer that question, canthey witness parts of our lives
potentially?
But we also have free will, andwe have the ability to allow and
not allow, usually on anunconscious level, spirits to
(01:04):
interact with us.
If we have an unconscious desireto contact somebody or a
deceased loved one, or somebodywho's passed or even a conscious
desire, and we speak that and,and try to make that connection,
then that's almost like aninvitation.
It's inviting them into parts ofour lives.
So it is possible, but for themost part, on several levels,
(01:28):
it's not happening.
Has anyone visited the otherside?
What is it like?
Do we eat, have sex, or do whatwe like?
Do we have homes?
Do we have bodies, or do wefloat aimlessly in a big black
void?
Well, we certainly don't floataimlessly in a big black void,
but we don't have bodies either,and we don't have homes.
(01:48):
To a certain degree you aredoing what you like, but you
don't.
You're definitely not eating.
You don't have a body tosustain.
The purpose of eating is to keepyour body alive, so that's not
happening when we're on theother side.
It's a very calm and blissfulstate.
It's not a physical reality.
There's no 3D tangible denseobjects.
(02:13):
If you think of something, youcan manifest it immediately.
If you wanna be somewhere, youimmediately go there.
If you think of somebody, youcan, immediately go to them.
There's no barriers that wewould think of in a physical
way.
We do maintain our personalityto a certain degree, but there's
(02:34):
not a desire to do a lot of thethings that we did when we were
on Earth.
It's a very calm and restfulstate, and we're interacting
mostly with other beings, uh,soulmates and spending a lot of
time just recovering from ourearthly incarnation.
There's a lot of rest andrecuperation that happens when
we're there.
It's very chill space.
(02:55):
What do you think about dreamswith someone who has already
died?
Well, I think multiple thingscan be happening there.
It's not necessarily just onething.
In some instances, it could bewhere that the spirit of that
person who is deceased is comingto visit you and they're making
an attempt to communicate withyou.
That's certainly possible.
There are other situations andcircumstances where it could be
(03:17):
a fragment of your unconsciousmind or a figment of your, not
necessarily imagination, butsomething that's residing in
your unconscious mind.
Maybe a memory of that personthat resurfaces.
Where it's not necessarily themcontacting you or communicating
with you, it's more anopportunity for your unconscious
mind to integrate something oryou're just doing a piece of
(03:40):
work and creating an opportunityto either relieve emotions that
may have been connected to thatperson or to, yeah, do do some
sort of integration inrelationship to that person.
Emotional integration typically,so it's not necessarily one
thing or another.
(04:00):
It could be a wide variety ofthings.
Why is the human unable to knowabout before birth events and
afterlife developments?
Is it possibly because of thelimitations of the sensory
organs and human brain memory?
Well, first and foremost, thehuman brain is not responsible
for memory.
Scientists have been trying tofigure out how the brain retains
memory for centuries, and theystill have yet to develop to
(04:23):
define an organ or a specificpart of the brain that is
responsible for memory.
Not even the neurons and theneurons can typically last an
entire lifetime of a person, butthey don't know the mechanism
for memory retention.
The reality is memories arestored in a field.
(04:44):
Our brains are receivers, oursoul, our consciousness.
It exists outside of the body,and that is where the memories
are retained.
And in order to access a memory,we tap into this greater field.
And again, the brain acts like aradio receiver receiving these
(05:05):
messages and memories accessingthem that way.
The other part, why is a humanunable to know about before
birth events?
Humans can know about beforebirth events.
There are many, many examples ofthis.
Past life hypnosis regression.
There are literally thousandsand thousands, tens of
(05:27):
thousands, hundreds of thousandsof people who have gone through
the process and have been ableto access past life memories.
There's also thousands ofaccounts, well documented and
verified accounts of childrenwho can remember things from
past lives that are verifiable,that there's no way that they
should know.
So when it comes to that, it ispossible.
(05:49):
The reason most people don'tremember past life memories.
It is because we choose not to,on an unconscious level,
choosing not to remember pastlives.
It allows us to focus here andnow we come to Earth to learn
lessons.
And if we're worrying about thethings that happened to us in
our past lives, it justdistracts us potentially from
(06:12):
what we're doing in the presentmoment and the lessons we're
supposed to learn here.
Now I have gone through my ownjourney, remembering past lives,
and for a long time it was justa distraction.
It was the shiny object.
It was cool, it was interesting.
And ultimately, for me, a largeperiod of time I spent really
(06:36):
delving deep into past lifememories.
I was spiritually bypassing.
I wasn't doing the work that Ineeded to do right now.
So there's a very good reasonthat we don't remember our past
lives, and I think more and morepeople are starting to.
Remember these past lives andit's, it's for a reason.
It's to gain awakening and tostart to gain access to these
(06:59):
functions of ourselves and torealize how infinite we are and
our ability to, uh, connect withthese other parts of ourselves
and just the vastness and the,incredible abilities that our
consciousness holds.
Do you believe that spiritsreally haunt people that cause
their deaths?
This is another one of thosesituations where it's not one
(07:20):
thing or the other.
For example, if there's a caraccident and the two people who
were in the accident had noprior connection or
communication, anything of thatsort, and it was completely
accidental, there's reallylikely no reason for the
deceased to haunt the personwho's living there.
There's just no connectionthere.
In that circumstance, those, theperson who was in the vehicle
(07:44):
that caused the accident, thatpotentially killed the other
person, that person's basicallyplaying a role.
And while it is unpleasant andit's really a challenging role
to play, there's no reason forthere to be any continuation of
that like energetic bond.
On the other hand, if there isan energetic bond and it's a,
(08:08):
something that's premeditatedand there is hard feelings or
emotions or some sort ofemotional connection between the
two people, and especially ifit's a strong emotional
connection or it's a reallynegative, a lot of negative
emotion built up between the twopeople, and there's something
like it at an intentional,premeditated mrder then that
(08:28):
emotional bond is connectingthose two people together, those
two spirits together.
And while the one person may,the mrdered person may not be in
a body.
That connection, that energeticbond still remains and that may
look like a haunting, that maylook like what you would call a
haunting.
That may look like manydifferent things, but that
energetic bond does notnecessarily, and very likely
(08:51):
does not go away after theperson dies, and again, may look
like a haunting.
It may look like something else,but there's going to very likely
continue to be some sort of arelationship with those two
spirits until that emotionalbond has been resolved.
After a mrder event, the mrdereris booked by police, judge
(09:12):
delivered death sentence,mrderer executed.
The question is whether the soulwill be relieved and happy.
This is not an either or sort ofthing, and just because in life
somebody was delivered asentence by a judge or authority
doesn't mean that's, that'sgoing to translate into specific
actions or events in someone'sspiritual journey, the intention
(09:37):
of the person who committed themrder is gonna be really
important.
Their state.
If you're looking at somebodywho's deranged, a psychopath,
who's a serial killer, orsomething like that.
And they're committingatrocities just for the sake of
creating pain and destructionand torment.
(09:57):
That being, when they get to theother side, is probably not
gonna have a lot of relief anddefinitely not happiness.
They may not be torturednecessarily.
Hell isn't a real place, it'snot a real thing, but they're
going to have to come to termswith and look at their actions
and, and deal with theconsequences, the energetic
karmic consequences of that.
(10:19):
Again, it doesn't necessarilymean burning in hell forever,
but it does mean to a certaindegree, experiencing the pain
that's been inflicted on someoneelse.
If somebody has committed amrder and, you know, maybe it
was an accident or they didn'tnecessarily, they weren't in the
right state of mind, theyweren't intending to hurt
somebody, maybe it was a drunkdriving thing.
(10:39):
Maybe it was.
Any number of things, maybethey've in their heart felt
justified, like avenging afamily member, something like
that.
A person's state of mind andintention plays a big role in
what they experience on theother side and their intention
of doing harm or, uh, doingsomething that's good.
(11:00):
And people do vigilante justicewhere they may commit a mrder in
order to prevent somebody fromdoing more harm.
Mrder is never great.
I'm never condoning mrder and asituation like that, the
circumstances are very differentfrom say, the serial killer.
So the outcome that the personexperiences on the other side is
(11:22):
going to be very different.
And the karmic sort of energeticshackles or the energetic aspect
of that is also gonna be verydifferent.
And yeah, how they have toresolve that karma, those
actions are gonna be not thesame.
So does time exist in theafterlife?
No.
(11:43):
Once our spirits transcend thesephysical bodies and we go to the
next level, the next plane, thatspiritual place, you can call it
heaven, you can call it the nextdimension, whatever you wanna
call it.
That is a place where time doesnot exist and everything is
being experiencedsimultaneously, potentially all
at once.
You can go back to your past,you can go to future potential
(12:06):
timelines and events.
It's a much different experiencegetting from one place to
another, you move as quickly asthought.
So if you think of somebody,boom, you're there.
If you think of a differentplace, boom, you're there.
If you think of havingsomething, boom, it's there.
Time as we experience, it doesnot exist in that space.
I often think of what truly ison the other side of life for
(12:27):
us.
I also wonder if there will be areconnection of family and
friends.
So typically when we leave ourbodies, we are greeted by
guides, ancestors and familymembers, beings who we're
familiar with, quite often lovedones that we've known from this
life.
And there might also be someloved ones that we don't
recognize who we never met inthis life, but we're recognized
(12:49):
by members of our soul group andpeople who beings and souls who
are close to us and who we'vereincarnated with over and over
and over again, and have a lotof soul memories and, past life
connections with.
When we leave the body, there'sa whole sequence of events that
happens.
Michael Newton Journey of Soulsdoes a really good job of
(13:12):
describing what happens.
But there's a whole process thatwe go through in order to assess
what happened during this life,look at the lessons that we've
learned.
Did we learn what we weresupposed to learn in this life?
Did we not learn what we weresupposed to learn in this life?
What could we have done better?
Making assessments and alsoresting, just recalibrating,
connecting with those spirits,having like reestablishing these
(13:35):
bonds and just a lot of rest andrelaxation.
Once we've kind of gone throughthe process and the last half
the process is mostly the, therest and relaxation.
Time doesn't really exist inthat place, so it, I mean, it's
hard to say, you know, put atimeline on it, but that's
(13:55):
pretty much what happens.
And yes, we reconnect withpeople, with loved ones.
People who even that we may havehad difficult relationships in
this life, on the other side, wecan connect with them and say,
oh, thank you for helping me tolearn this lesson, or whatever
it is.
Our relationships have a lotdifferent tone to them.
When we're not tied to theemotions and the experiences of
(14:18):
this three-dimensional plane.
What are our personalities likein the afterlife?
For the most part, we drop ourpersonalities.
Our personalities are dictatedby our life experiences,
memories, our culture, oursociety, our environments that
we grow up in.
There's a lot of things thatdictate our personalities, and
(14:40):
when we transcend the body andour back and our pure spiritual
form, a lot of that stuff justfades away.
We lose the emotional connectionto a lot of that stuff, and it
just becomes completelyunimportant and irrelevant.
We still maintain the essence ofourself, our soul, our
individual, and unique essence.
(15:00):
But the personality quirks thatwe experience in this life are
often much subdued on the otherside.
And it's not exactly like apersonality.
There are still recognizabletraits amongst us and amongst
souls.
But what we would consider apersonality in this life, in
(15:21):
this experience doesn't staywith us in the afterlife.
Just thinking there will be nogravitational force when we
leave our bodies.
Are we going to go off like arocket and end up lost and end
up on another planet?
No.
Our spirits are not subject tothe forces of physics.
(15:41):
The gravitational pull will nothave any bearing on our spirit.
Our spirit is not athree-dimensional object.
There's no mass, there's noweight, there's no volume to the
spirit.
It's pure energy.
So there's no sort of inertia ormomentum that's going to rocket
us off in any certain situation.
(16:04):
Yes, we hear in experiences andnear death experiences, people
talk about levitating over theirbody as if there's distance, as
if they've moved away from theirbody.
Yes, the point of view of yourspirit can move and you can
experience different locations,but not in a way that's dictated
(16:26):
or connected to gravity.
So you are gonna stay in onespot, and when you're done with
the body, there is a pathwaythat you go down, there's a
series of steps, and you're ledon this journey, this afterlife
journey.
You'll be met by beings andspirit guides and family
members, and they will escortyou to where you need to go.
(16:49):
So you're not gonna be shot offinto the ethers There are
circumstances where guides andspirit teams or relatives may
not take you right away.
There's situations where peopleremain on earth, remain in the
location that they're at,ghosts, familiar spirits, but
those kind of situations,there's never a just being
(17:12):
rocketed off into space.
So you're safe in that aspect.
family members that have shownme no love on Earth, will they
actually love me in heaven.
On one hand, just becausesomebody doesn't show you love,
doesn't mean that they don'tlove you.
In someone's mind, theirintention may be a loving act,
(17:33):
and you may perceive that as nota loving act.
So on one hand, there can be, aperception that there's no love
there.
On a spiritual level, we allchoose our incarnations and the
people who are close to us, ourfamily members, we choose our
family dynamics to a certainextent.
(17:53):
We still have free will, andthere still is this aspect of,
every single second of our lifeis not predetermined.
And the major aspects and themajor relationships in our lives
are typically predetermined to acertain extent.
We have these sole contracts oragreements before we incarnate,
and really challengingrelationships those can be
(18:17):
agreed upon, coming from a placeof love.
Before we're incarnated on theother side, somebody may choose
to, to incarnate with you andtake on the role of being
somebody who pushes you orchallenges you, or treats you in
a certain way that is going toforce you and encourage you to
(18:37):
learn certain lessons and togrow.
A parent doesn't necessarily notlove their child when they're
disciplining them.
It may not look like a lovingsituation or a loving act, and
the child may not perceive it asa loving act.
But the intention is to preparethe child for different
situations in life and toprepare them to navigate things
(18:59):
that they're going to encounterlater on in life.
This happens on a larger scaleas well, on our spiritual scale,
on a spiritual level.
So when we reach the other side,there's nothing but love.
You're gonna encounter peoplewho you've had challenging
relationships with and you'regonna be like, Hey, thank you
(19:19):
for being a dick, because ithelped me learn how to deal with
certain people, or it helped melearn how to manage my emotions,
or it helped me learn how to doX, Y, and Z.
And that person's gonna say,yeah, sorry about that, but you
know, I am glad it all workedout and I love you all the same.
And you're gonna say, yeah Ilove you too, and maybe in the
next life I can be the boss whotorments you, or I can be this,
(19:43):
or I can be that.
That's how this thing works.
That's how we all learn and growtogether.
It's not random.
It's a beautifully orchestratedand loving situation and thing
that we find ourselves in thiscrazy cycle of reincarnation
coming back over and over again.
(20:04):
It's all for a reason and it'sall for a loving divine purpose.
Can you get a ghost pregnant?
No, you cannot get a ghostpregnant.
They don't have the necessaryparts.
They don't have a body to bringthe baby to term.
No, you can't get a ghostpregnant.
And on an interesting side note,there is such a thing as sexual
(20:25):
energy.
We all experience it and we allfeel it very viscerally in our
bodies.
Sexual energy is energy, so itdoesn't require a body to feel
it.
It's got its own specificvibration.
So just because you can't get aghost pregnant doesn't mean that
a ghost or a disembodied beingcan't sense sexual energy.
(20:47):
It doesn't mean that they don'thave sexual energy themselves.
We've all had experiences anddreams where there was an
exchange of sexual energy orsexual situations come up.
You're not in a physical bodythere, but you still experience
sexual energy.
Disembodied beings like ghostscan still experience an exchange
sexual energy to a certaindegree, not how we do as we're
(21:11):
incarnated on these bodies, butit's a thing.
I was wondering if Spirits knowit's their birthday and do they
celebrate it?
No.
A spirit is not in a body, whichmeans it's not been birthed.
When you're on the other side inthat state, it's just irrelevant
(21:31):
and you don't have a body, andyou are able to access and
recognize that you've had manypast lives...
So at that point, it's a mootpoint.
You don't even think about it.
You've had many birthdays overthe course of many, many lives.
How can energy just exist?
That is the question.
How can anything just exist?
(21:52):
Everything we see materializedin the three dimensional world
is just a form of energy.
Everything in existence is justenergy.
How can it exist?
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows, and nobody canknow.
It's like what came first?
The chicken or the egg was therenon-existence before there was
existence?
(22:13):
And if there was nothingness andnon-existence, what happened to
cause something to exist out ofnothing?
How is that possible and how isit possible that something has
always been existing foreternity and what even is
eternity?
I love these kind of questions.
(22:34):
Partially because there is noanswer.
They're paradoxical.
You can toss this around in yourmind and your brain forever and
not come to a solid conclusion,and I think that's amazing, and
I think it's a really usefulpractice to think about these
kind of questions.
(22:55):
It's good for us.
It helps give us a differentperspective, helps us think
about things differently.
What even is energy?
Where did it come from?
How is this all happening?
What is the likelihood that youare right where you are right
here, right now, and that I amright here, right now,
experiencing this life?
It's miraculous.
(23:16):
It's extraordinary.
It doesn't make any sense and itcan't make sense.
You can't wrap your head aroundit.
You can only experience it righthere, right now, in the present
moment.
It's beyond words simply toanswer that question.
There is no answer to thatquestion, and that brings me to
(23:37):
a thought that something thatI'd heard once long ago that
really resonated with me, thatGod knows everything except
where it came from, and Ipersonally believe that to be
true.
God knows everything exceptwhere it came from.
Has anyone experienced strangehappenings with your cell phone
or other personal electronicdevices after having an
(23:59):
extensive grieving moment abouta close loved one?
I've never personallyexperienced that and beings on
the other side who have,especially recently left their
body, they do still have anenergetic connection to the
three dimensional plane.
There are so many stories ofentities, beings, ghosts,
(24:21):
whatever you wanna call'em,interacting on the 3D plane with
different objects, with people.
They're able to man manipulateenergy in such a way where they
can affect to a certain degree,things that are happening here.
I think the longer a spirit hasbeen out of the body, the less
they have that ability or the,the less potent that ability is.
(24:43):
Yeah, but that might look likemoving something on a table.
That could look like manydifferent things that the
interaction, that what they'reable to do that could also look
like interfering with yourelectronic devices, being able
to change, uh, electronic waves,being able to turn on a TV or
flip on a light switch.
(25:05):
I actually did have anexperience after a session doing
some channeling work, trying toclear out energies from this
house where in the middle of thenight, a light bulb exploded.
The light was off.
This light bulb just exploded inthe middle of the night, the day
after I'd done this work and.
(25:27):
It was clear to me that the workwasn't done and that there was
still energies and entities thatwere present that were looking
for resolution and, and weren't,they didn't want to necessarily
just be evicted from the spacethey were at because they liked
it.
Eventually we were able toresolve the situation, but it
was my belief that, and it wasvery clear to me, like just
(25:49):
intuitively, I just knew it,that, oh, that was a sign.
Like somebody is not reallyhappy that we're trying to clear
this situation up and they letus know about it.
So, to answer your question,yeah, and especially if you are
reaching out to that being, oryou have the intention of
connecting with that person orthat spirit or there's a strong,
(26:11):
energetic emotional bond there,like especially then there's
much more likely to be some sortof interaction or they're much
more likely to be able tocommunicate with you in some
roundabout way.
If the people who abused you dieand they have to experience what
they did to you, do theycontinue to experience the pain?
Their acts of cruelty are stillcausing you now.
(26:31):
No, they don't and neither doyou.
Pain is not optional.
Pain is a part of life.
If you're alive, you areexperiencing pain.
Suffering, on the other hand, issimply unintegrated and
unprocessed pain.
We've all had experiences in ourlives.
For example, a breakup where inthe moment it was terrible.
(26:52):
It was awful, heartbreak, thewhole nine yards.
A lot of pain associated withthat.
And most of us can look back andlook at breakups that we've had
in the past and look at them andsay, wow, I'm so glad that
happened.
I learned so much from that,that person taught me so much.
It set me up for this nextrelationship, whatever may be.
(27:15):
The pain you were experiencingfrom then, and the pain you're
experiencing now are verydifferent.
There's no pain now because thepain has been integrated and
processed.
The experience itself doesn'tchange it.
The experience is what it is,but as the pain becomes
processed and integrated, it'ssubsides.
(27:36):
When his spirit transcend itsbody, there is a life review
where that spirit has to atonefor and look at all the
circumstances where they'vecaused harm to another person or
another being another spirit,and they experience that pain,
but they process it immediately.
Pain gets stored in our bodies,and one of the reasons why it
(27:59):
turns into suffering is becauseit gets stuck in places and it
doesn't get processed.
When you're in that purespiritual form there's no
physical form for the pain toget stuck to.
So the processing just happens.
You experience the pain andyou're so much in the present
moment that you just movethrough it, you don't hang onto
(28:19):
it, none of that sticks to you.
You retain the lesson and thememory from it.
Like, oh man, I don't wanna dothat again.
That did not feel good, in mynext life.
I'm not gonna treat people thatway.
Whatever it may be.
But they don't retain that pain.
In the same way it's notnecessary for us to suffer and
to retain pains from the past.
(28:42):
The only reason that happens isbecause something is
unintegrated.
Are dogs and cats in theafterlife?
Yes.
Dogs, cats, zebras, parakeets,any being that has a spirit will
persist into the afterlife.
The physical bodies will die,but the spirit is made up of
(29:03):
just energy, and energy neverdies, so it will continue on to
another stage of its journey.
That being said, we don'tnecessarily hang out with the
dogs and cats.
They're at a differentdevelopmental stage and they're
doing their thing in theafterlife and we're doing our
thing and it.
You can visit them, and thereis, I'm sure some spiritual
(29:25):
connection there still, butthey're not just hanging out
with us typically.
Are feelings random, justbiological or spiritual beings
having an impact on us.
Feelings are not random.
Feelings and emotions are howthe universe communicates with
us.
It's feedback, it's all signalsto us, letting us know what is
inside of us.
When somebody says somethingthat maybe upsets us in a
(29:47):
certain way, it's the universeletting us know that there is
something unresolved inside ofus.
It doesn't matter what the otherperson says or believes.
You could have two peoplestanding right next to each
other.
One person says some ignorantcomment.
One of the people is going tohave a visceral, get upset sort
(30:08):
of response, and the otherperson might not have any sort
of response.
It doesn't have anything to dowith the external stimuli, it's
all showing us what's inside ofus.
All of our emotions.
Joe Dispenza says that thoughtsare the language of the mind,
and emotions are the language ofthe body.
This is how the universecommunicates with us because we
(30:29):
are feeling beings when we'realive in this three dimensional
experience.
Spiritual beings, I supposespiritual beings can communicate
with us through thoughts.
So if they're able to implant ornudge a thought in our
direction, and they know thatit's going to encourage a
(30:51):
certain response.
Say for example, you have anaversion to a certain religion
or a certain kind of religiouspractice, a being who maybe
doesn't have your best interestin mind, could nudge a thought
about that certain thing thatyou don't like in your direction
(31:11):
to try to mess with you or totry to encourage you or to
create a situation where, thisthought is gonna come in, you're
gonna interact with it, and it'sgonna elicit a negative
emotional response.
That is possible and for themost part, it's not random, our
emotions definitely aren'trandom.
Even if we don't recognize thetrigger to it or the cause of an
(31:34):
emotion, there's alwayssomething that causes an emotion
and it's always pointing towardssomething that is inside of us,
alerting us to what is alreadythere.
Never imposing something on usfrom the external.
I keep feeling like someone isin the room with me when they
are not.
I get a shadow like movement inmy peripheral vision when I
look, no one's there.
(31:54):
What does that mean?
Well, it probably meanssomething.
Follow your feelings, yourfeelings mean something.
Listen to your intuition.
Go inward.
If you feel like there is apresence there, there probably
is.
What does it mean?
That's a whole other question.
It can mean any number of thingsand in situations like this,
(32:16):
just because you can't seesomething doesn't mean it's not
there.
There could be somebody in theroom next to you blowing on a
dog whistle as hard as they can.
It doesn't mean that that highpitch frequency isn't being
emitted.
It just means you can't perceiveit.
In the same way, you might notbe seeing something with your
naked eye at, but it doesn'tmean that there's not an
energetic presence there.
(32:38):
What does it mean that's up forinterpretation?
You really gotta sit with yourintuition on that.
Examine that feeling.
What is that feeling tellingyou?
Get real clear with it.
Sit with it.
Feel the real subtleties of thatfeeling.
Does it feel positive?
Does it feel negative?
Does it feel like I'm beingwatched?
Does it feel like somebody wantssomething from me?
(33:00):
In this kind of situation,there's not a lot of really
tangible evidence, so I reallytry to avoid making any
assumptions.
I look at the situation as ifI'm an observer.
A third person say, what isactually happening here?
What is Observably true and whatis not Observably true?
What could I potentially beputting my own spin on?
(33:22):
I, I like to observe things fromthat perspective.
And again, just getting reallyclear and starting to look for
patterns.
Do I do every time I go in thisroom, do I notice that I get the
same feeling coming from thesame direction?
Or is it a certain time of daywhen I go in there or, does this
energy feel like somebody Iknow, is it familiar?
The person you should be askingthese questions to is yourself
(33:45):
and spending time in meditationwithout a bunch of noise so you
can just try to hone in on thatfeeling as much as possible.
And that's gonna be the bestguidance in a situation like
this where you don't havetangible evidence of something
being there, but you intuitivelyhave a strong sense that there
is something more to thesituation.
(34:06):
Is our death date predestined?
No, the exact date of your deathis not predestined.
And we do come into theseincarnations with a plan and we
have a general idea based on thecontracts that we've come into
this life with about how longwe'll live and the different
things that will happen, themajor life events that we'll
(34:27):
experience.
We may know that we're gonnahave a long life, we may know
that we're gonna have a shortlife, but the exact date is not
set in stone.
We do still have free will, wemight take a certain path on
the, the life plan.
We might veer a little bit oneway.
We might veer a little bitanother way, but we're gonna be
moving in a general directionand hit the milestones and the
(34:49):
main points that we're supposedto hit.
Exact death date?
No, but you'll have an ideabefore you incarnate roughly how
long your incarnation will be.
Are we stardust?
After life we die, does ourlight go back to the universe?
That's actually two questions.
The first question, yeah, we arestardust.
(35:10):
Our blood is made up ofhemoglobin.
Hemoglobin molecules have fouratoms of iron in them.
*Iron only occurs in the naturaluniverse when a massive star at
its core gets so dense, itstarts to create iron, it
destabilizes the star and causesa supernova.
(35:30):
So when iron is created in theuniverse, it comes from the
explosion of a super massivestar that is the only time iron
is made.
We are made up of stardust.
Every part of us is made up ofstardust, and after we die, does
our light go back to theuniverse?
I would say that our light neverleaves the universe, they're not
(35:53):
separate.
If we believe that our light isnot part of the universe, that
is an error in our perception.
It is all just one thing.
Our perception in our mind iswhat creates division between
anything.
The ego mind, this humanexperience.
(36:15):
When you leave your body and yougo back to the spiritual plane,
you realize like, oh, it wasalways there.
Energy never dies and you can'tseparate light.
Everything is a form of energy.
Why are innocent peoplesuffering?
Is this, what happens to peoplewho are harming others now in
their next lives?
(36:35):
We all incarnate on earth inthese bodies to experience pain
and suffering.
When we're in that spiritualplane.
The next dimension after ourlives, you don't experience pain
and suffering.
It's a very calm and chill andrelaxed space.
It's the ultimate comfort zone,and no growth ever happens
(36:55):
inside your comfort zone.
Think about lifting a weight.
If you're lifting a weight, whyare you doing that?
Well, you need that resistanceto build muscle.
Forms of resistance are reallyimportant for us to be able to
learn and grow.
The pain and suffering thatwe're experiencing now is a
blessing.
It's helping us.
Without that pain and suffering,we would be static, we would be
(37:17):
plateaued.
We wouldn't be moving, wewouldn't be growing, we wouldn't
be expanding.
There's a universal God-givenimpulse inside of all of us to
grow and expand and learn.
And when we're not growing andexpanding and learning in some
form, we're miserable.
We're not happy.
We're not in alignment withnature.
Pain and suffering, while it isa challenging and unpleasant
(37:40):
experience, we all chose it onsome level and it's temporary,
and we're gonna go back to thatplace where we can just chill
and relax and say, oh, wow, Isee why I did that, or I see why
that person was in my life.
I see why that happened.
I'm glad I chose that becausenow I know and I'm never gonna
impart that on other peopleanymore.
(38:01):
And yeah I'm better for havingthat experience.
Could God or spiritual beingsever misunderstand you?
No, not really.
God or a truly advancedspiritual being, they can read
you like a book, they can seeyour mind, body, spirit, which
is all energy, look at it andknow exactly what's going on
(38:23):
with you.
That being said, I'm gonna readbetween the lines here and let
you know that God is not gonnafollow your conscious mind.
The conscious mind is only asmall percentage of our self.
The unconscious mind makes upover 90% of our being, of who we
are.
(38:43):
And when God or a spiritualentity or an angel looks at us
and reads us, most of whatthey're reading is your
unconscious mind.
So if, if you're thinking, Iwant a million dollars.
I really want money.
I really want money, I reallywant money.
And unconsciously you believethat you're not worthy of money
or you think money's bad, or youhave some limiting belief about
(39:04):
money or, and this, this couldapply to anything in life.
If that is a, a belief that isheld within you, Spirit is going
to respond to that.
God is going to respond to whatyou truly believe in and what
your unconscious mind wants.
Do people believe NDEs are realor merely hallucinations or
dreams or made up for publicattention to create a story?
(39:28):
There's a lot of people on thisplanet.
There's gonna be a certainpercentage of people that fall
into each of those categories.
Some people are gonna believethat they are real.
Some people are gonna believethey're hallucinations or
dreams, and some people aregonna believe that they are just
made up.
With as many NDE stories thatare out there and how credible
they are, and the uniformitybetween them.
(39:51):
If you believe that an NDE isjust made up, or all NDEs are
just made up to create a storyor to get attention mostly by
people who have no desire forattention, then that doesn't
speak to evidence, that speaksto a belief.
The evidence for an afterlife isthere through the NDEs, through
(40:15):
many other avenues.
If you don't believe it, it'snot because of lack of evidence,
it's because of some conflictinginternal belief.
Hallucinations or dreams...
I mean, is a dream real?
Is a dream real?
You're having an experience andis a hallucination real?
(40:36):
How is the hallucination notreal?
If you're having an experience,you may not be physically having
an experience, but how is thatdifferent than your regular
experience or a dream like?
Is there much of adifferentiation?
If you experience something in adream, it still impacts your
life.
If you experience something in ahallucination or what we would
call a hallucination, it stillis gonna have an impact on you.
(41:00):
So on one hand, it doesn'tmatter, what's the difference?
And yeah, people are gonnabelieve what they wanna believe.
Do addictions leave you when youenter the afterlife?
Been thinking, looking down andseeing people eating nice food
and having a cigarette will beteasing me.
No, your addictions do notfollow you into the afterlife.
(41:23):
When we shed these physicalbodies, and when we transcend
our meat vehicles, we go to aplace where our personality and
the experiences and the emotionsthat we're dictating a lot of
our lives, they just fade away.
We're not connected to thatanymore, and addiction is almost
entirely caused by trauma.
(41:45):
And when we pass out of thesebodies and transcend, we're able
to look at our life experiencesand look at our traumas from a
different perspective and say,oh, I see the, the overeating
thing, the the drugs thing, theshopping compulsion, the
whatever addiction it is, youcan trace it all the way back to
(42:07):
the source, to the trauma thatcaused that and say, oh, like I
that addiction was a result ofsomething that, that addiction
wasn't its own thing.
That wasn't me.
That was a behavior that I wasjust experiencing and
perpetuating because I neverhealed this trauma, or I never
(42:27):
dealt with this unresolvedemotional issue.
That being said, just becausethe addiction goes away, if
there's an em emotional karma orsomething that keeps you
energetically tied to thatbehavior, it is possible that in
your next life you'll bepresented with a similar sort of
situation or trauma that willcause an addictive sort of
(42:52):
situation where maybe in pastlives where you had been
addicted in a, a future life,you may be in the same situation
that, that you can use toovercome the addiction or to
learn how to, to integrate thatpart of yourself such that you
no longer have to go through thecycle of addiction.
(43:13):
So if you're experiencing strongaddictions in this life, you
probably will in future livesunless you resolve whatever
emotional baggage is tied upwith them.
Do people enter the quantumworld after death?
Yes.
We are already in a quantumworld.
We just don't perceive thoselevels of reality.
(43:35):
But when we transcend the body,the quantum reality and things
that are associated with thatbecome much more apparent.
When we die, can we come back,but to another time or maybe
another planet?
Yeah, absolutely.
The purpose for taking anincarnation is to learn lessons.
And if we decide later on thatwe wanna learn a different set
(43:56):
of lessons or we recognize thatmaybe a different time in
history or a different planet,different location is gonna be
more conducive to us learningthe lessons that we need to
learn, then we can reincarnatethere, no big deal.
It's happens all the time.
We've all had many, manyincarnations across many planets
and many times.
I'm gonna try something a little different today.
This morning I went on aFacebook group dedicated to near
death experiences.
I grabbed a bunch of questions,I wrote'em all down, and I'm
gonna do my best to answer them.
For the record, no, I'm notstoned, this is just what my
eyes look like during allergyseason.
First question, people that havedied, how much can they see on
(00:21):
earth?
Can they see us walking around?
Can they see us and everythingwe do after somebody dies?
Yes, they can see on earth, butnot everything.
And the reality is that they'refocused on doing their own
thing.
They're in heaven, they're inthe the other realm, the
(00:41):
afterlife land.
They're not focusing on what'sgoing on here.
And there is a certain degree ofprivacy.
So to answer that question, canthey witness parts of our lives
potentially?
But we also have free will, andwe have the ability to allow and
not allow, usually on anunconscious level, spirits to
(01:04):
interact with us.
If we have an unconscious desireto contact somebody or a
deceased loved one, or somebodywho's passed or even a conscious
desire, and we speak that and,and try to make that connection,
then that's almost like aninvitation.
It's inviting them into parts ofour lives.
So it is possible, but for themost part, on several levels,
(01:28):
it's not happening.
Has anyone visited the otherside?
What is it like?
Do we eat, have sex, or do whatwe like?
Do we have homes?
Do we have bodies, or do wefloat aimlessly in a big black
void?
Well, we certainly don't floataimlessly in a big black void,
but we don't have bodies either,and we don't have homes.
(01:48):
To a certain degree you aredoing what you like, but you
don't.
You're definitely not eating.
You don't have a body tosustain.
The purpose of eating is to keepyour body alive, so that's not
happening when we're on theother side.
It's a very calm and blissfulstate.
It's not a physical reality.
There's no 3D tangible denseobjects.
(02:13):
If you think of something, youcan manifest it immediately.
If you wanna be somewhere, youimmediately go there.
If you think of somebody, youcan, immediately go to them.
There's no barriers that wewould think of in a physical
way.
We do maintain our personalityto a certain degree, but there's
(02:34):
not a desire to do a lot of thethings that we did when we were
on Earth.
It's a very calm and restfulstate, and we're interacting
mostly with other beings, uh,soulmates and spending a lot of
time just recovering from ourearthly incarnation.
There's a lot of rest andrecuperation that happens when
we're there.
It's very chill space.
(02:55):
What do you think about dreamswith someone who has already
died?
Well, I think multiple thingscan be happening there.
It's not necessarily just onething.
In some instances, it could bewhere that the spirit of that
person who is deceased is comingto visit you and they're making
an attempt to communicate withyou.
That's certainly possible.
There are other situations andcircumstances where it could be
(03:17):
a fragment of your unconsciousmind or a figment of your, not
necessarily imagination, butsomething that's residing in
your unconscious mind.
Maybe a memory of that personthat resurfaces.
Where it's not necessarily themcontacting you or communicating
with you, it's more anopportunity for your unconscious
mind to integrate something oryou're just doing a piece of
(03:40):
work and creating an opportunityto either relieve emotions that
may have been connected to thatperson or to, yeah, do do some
sort of integration inrelationship to that person.
Emotional integration typically,so it's not necessarily one
thing or another.
(04:00):
It could be a wide variety ofthings.
Why is the human unable to knowabout before birth events and
afterlife developments?
Is it possibly because of thelimitations of the sensory
organs and human brain memory?
Well, first and foremost, thehuman brain is not responsible
for memory.
Scientists have been trying tofigure out how the brain retains
memory for centuries, and theystill have yet to develop to
(04:23):
define an organ or a specificpart of the brain that is
responsible for memory.
Not even the neurons and theneurons can typically last an
entire lifetime of a person, butthey don't know the mechanism
for memory retention.
The reality is memories arestored in a field.
(04:44):
Our brains are receivers, oursoul, our consciousness.
It exists outside of the body,and that is where the memories
are retained.
And in order to access a memory,we tap into this greater field.
And again, the brain acts like aradio receiver receiving these
(05:05):
messages and memories accessingthem that way.
The other part, why is a humanunable to know about before
birth events?
Humans can know about beforebirth events.
There are many, many examples ofthis.
Past life hypnosis regression.
There are literally thousandsand thousands, tens of
(05:27):
thousands, hundreds of thousandsof people who have gone through
the process and have been ableto access past life memories.
There's also thousands ofaccounts, well documented and
verified accounts of childrenwho can remember things from
past lives that are verifiable,that there's no way that they
should know.
So when it comes to that, it ispossible.
(05:49):
The reason most people don'tremember past life memories.
It is because we choose not to,on an unconscious level,
choosing not to remember pastlives.
It allows us to focus here andnow we come to Earth to learn
lessons.
And if we're worrying about thethings that happened to us in
our past lives, it justdistracts us potentially from
(06:12):
what we're doing in the presentmoment and the lessons we're
supposed to learn here.
Now I have gone through my ownjourney, remembering past lives,
and for a long time it was justa distraction.
It was the shiny object.
It was cool, it was interesting.
And ultimately, for me, a largeperiod of time I spent really
(06:36):
delving deep into past lifememories.
I was spiritually bypassing.
I wasn't doing the work that Ineeded to do right now.
So there's a very good reasonthat we don't remember our past
lives, and I think more and morepeople are starting to.
Remember these past lives andit's, it's for a reason.
It's to gain awakening and tostart to gain access to these
(06:59):
functions of ourselves and torealize how infinite we are and
our ability to, uh, connect withthese other parts of ourselves
and just the vastness and the,incredible abilities that our
consciousness holds.
Do you believe that spiritsreally haunt people that cause
their deaths?
This is another one of thosesituations where it's not one
(07:20):
thing or the other.
For example, if there's a caraccident and the two people who
were in the accident had noprior connection or
communication, anything of thatsort, and it was completely
accidental, there's reallylikely no reason for the
deceased to haunt the personwho's living there.
There's just no connectionthere.
In that circumstance, those, theperson who was in the vehicle
(07:44):
that caused the accident, thatpotentially killed the other
person, that person's basicallyplaying a role.
And while it is unpleasant andit's really a challenging role
to play, there's no reason forthere to be any continuation of
that like energetic bond.
On the other hand, if there isan energetic bond and it's a,
(08:08):
something that's premeditatedand there is hard feelings or
emotions or some sort ofemotional connection between the
two people, and especially ifit's a strong emotional
connection or it's a reallynegative, a lot of negative
emotion built up between the twopeople, and there's something
like it at an intentional,premeditated mrder then that
(08:28):
emotional bond is connectingthose two people together, those
two spirits together.
And while the one person may,the mrdered person may not be in
a body.
That connection, that energeticbond still remains and that may
look like a haunting, that maylook like what you would call a
haunting.
That may look like manydifferent things, but that
energetic bond does notnecessarily, and very likely
(08:51):
does not go away after theperson dies, and again, may look
like a haunting.
It may look like something else,but there's going to very likely
continue to be some sort of arelationship with those two
spirits until that emotionalbond has been resolved.
After a mrder event, the mrdereris booked by police, judge
(09:12):
delivered death sentence,mrderer executed.
The question is whether the soulwill be relieved and happy.
This is not an either or sort ofthing, and just because in life
somebody was delivered asentence by a judge or authority
doesn't mean that's, that'sgoing to translate into specific
actions or events in someone'sspiritual journey, the intention
(09:37):
of the person who committed themrder is gonna be really
important.
Their state.
If you're looking at somebodywho's deranged, a psychopath,
who's a serial killer, orsomething like that.
And they're committingatrocities just for the sake of
creating pain and destructionand torment.
(09:57):
That being, when they get to theother side, is probably not
gonna have a lot of relief anddefinitely not happiness.
They may not be torturednecessarily.
Hell isn't a real place, it'snot a real thing, but they're
going to have to come to termswith and look at their actions
and, and deal with theconsequences, the energetic
karmic consequences of that.
(10:19):
Again, it doesn't necessarilymean burning in hell forever,
but it does mean to a certaindegree, experiencing the pain
that's been inflicted on someoneelse.
If somebody has committed amrder and, you know, maybe it
was an accident or they didn'tnecessarily, they weren't in the
right state of mind, theyweren't intending to hurt
somebody, maybe it was a drunkdriving thing.
(10:39):
Maybe it was.
Any number of things, maybethey've in their heart felt
justified, like avenging afamily member, something like
that.
A person's state of mind andintention plays a big role in
what they experience on theother side and their intention
of doing harm or, uh, doingsomething that's good.
(11:00):
And people do vigilante justicewhere they may commit a mrder in
order to prevent somebody fromdoing more harm.
Mrder is never great.
I'm never condoning mrder and asituation like that, the
circumstances are very differentfrom say, the serial killer.
So the outcome that the personexperiences on the other side is
(11:22):
going to be very different.
And the karmic sort of energeticshackles or the energetic aspect
of that is also gonna be verydifferent.
And yeah, how they have toresolve that karma, those
actions are gonna be not thesame.
So does time exist in theafterlife?
No.
(11:43):
Once our spirits transcend thesephysical bodies and we go to the
next level, the next plane, thatspiritual place, you can call it
heaven, you can call it the nextdimension, whatever you wanna
call it.
That is a place where time doesnot exist and everything is
being experiencedsimultaneously, potentially all
at once.
You can go back to your past,you can go to future potential
(12:06):
timelines and events.
It's a much different experiencegetting from one place to
another, you move as quickly asthought.
So if you think of somebody,boom, you're there.
If you think of a differentplace, boom, you're there.
If you think of havingsomething, boom, it's there.
Time as we experience, it doesnot exist in that space.
I often think of what truly ison the other side of life for
(12:27):
us.
I also wonder if there will be areconnection of family and
friends.
So typically when we leave ourbodies, we are greeted by
guides, ancestors and familymembers, beings who we're
familiar with, quite often lovedones that we've known from this
life.
And there might also be someloved ones that we don't
recognize who we never met inthis life, but we're recognized
(12:49):
by members of our soul group andpeople who beings and souls who
are close to us and who we'vereincarnated with over and over
and over again, and have a lotof soul memories and, past life
connections with.
When we leave the body, there'sa whole sequence of events that
happens.
Michael Newton Journey of Soulsdoes a really good job of
(13:12):
describing what happens.
But there's a whole process thatwe go through in order to assess
what happened during this life,look at the lessons that we've
learned.
Did we learn what we weresupposed to learn in this life?
Did we not learn what we weresupposed to learn in this life?
What could we have done better?
Making assessments and alsoresting, just recalibrating,
connecting with those spirits,having like reestablishing these
(13:35):
bonds and just a lot of rest andrelaxation.
Once we've kind of gone throughthe process and the last half
the process is mostly the, therest and relaxation.
Time doesn't really exist inthat place, so it, I mean, it's
hard to say, you know, put atimeline on it, but that's
(13:55):
pretty much what happens.
And yes, we reconnect withpeople, with loved ones.
People who even that we may havehad difficult relationships in
this life, on the other side, wecan connect with them and say,
oh, thank you for helping me tolearn this lesson, or whatever
it is.
Our relationships have a lotdifferent tone to them.
When we're not tied to theemotions and the experiences of
(14:18):
this three-dimensional plane.
What are our personalities likein the afterlife?
For the most part, we drop ourpersonalities.
Our personalities are dictatedby our life experiences,
memories, our culture, oursociety, our environments that
we grow up in.
There's a lot of things thatdictate our personalities, and
(14:40):
when we transcend the body andour back and our pure spiritual
form, a lot of that stuff justfades away.
We lose the emotional connectionto a lot of that stuff, and it
just becomes completelyunimportant and irrelevant.
We still maintain the essence ofourself, our soul, our
individual, and unique essence.
(15:00):
But the personality quirks thatwe experience in this life are
often much subdued on the otherside.
And it's not exactly like apersonality.
There are still recognizabletraits amongst us and amongst
souls.
But what we would consider apersonality in this life, in
(15:21):
this experience doesn't staywith us in the afterlife.
Just thinking there will be nogravitational force when we
leave our bodies.
Are we going to go off like arocket and end up lost and end
up on another planet?
No.
Our spirits are not subject tothe forces of physics.
(15:41):
The gravitational pull will nothave any bearing on our spirit.
Our spirit is not athree-dimensional object.
There's no mass, there's noweight, there's no volume to the
spirit.
It's pure energy.
So there's no sort of inertia ormomentum that's going to rocket
us off in any certain situation.
(16:04):
Yes, we hear in experiences andnear death experiences, people
talk about levitating over theirbody as if there's distance, as
if they've moved away from theirbody.
Yes, the point of view of yourspirit can move and you can
experience different locations,but not in a way that's dictated
(16:26):
or connected to gravity.
So you are gonna stay in onespot, and when you're done with
the body, there is a pathwaythat you go down, there's a
series of steps, and you're ledon this journey, this afterlife
journey.
You'll be met by beings andspirit guides and family
members, and they will escortyou to where you need to go.
(16:49):
So you're not gonna be shot offinto the ethers There are
circumstances where guides andspirit teams or relatives may
not take you right away.
There's situations where peopleremain on earth, remain in the
location that they're at,ghosts, familiar spirits, but
those kind of situations,there's never a just being
(17:12):
rocketed off into space.
So you're safe in that aspect.
family members that have shownme no love on Earth, will they
actually love me in heaven.
On one hand, just becausesomebody doesn't show you love,
doesn't mean that they don'tlove you.
In someone's mind, theirintention may be a loving act,
(17:33):
and you may perceive that as nota loving act.
So on one hand, there can be, aperception that there's no love
there.
On a spiritual level, we allchoose our incarnations and the
people who are close to us, ourfamily members, we choose our
family dynamics to a certainextent.
(17:53):
We still have free will, andthere still is this aspect of,
every single second of our lifeis not predetermined.
And the major aspects and themajor relationships in our lives
are typically predetermined to acertain extent.
We have these sole contracts oragreements before we incarnate,
and really challengingrelationships those can be
(18:17):
agreed upon, coming from a placeof love.
Before we're incarnated on theother side, somebody may choose
to, to incarnate with you andtake on the role of being
somebody who pushes you orchallenges you, or treats you in
a certain way that is going toforce you and encourage you to
(18:37):
learn certain lessons and togrow.
A parent doesn't necessarily notlove their child when they're
disciplining them.
It may not look like a lovingsituation or a loving act, and
the child may not perceive it asa loving act.
But the intention is to preparethe child for different
situations in life and toprepare them to navigate things
(18:59):
that they're going to encounterlater on in life.
This happens on a larger scaleas well, on our spiritual scale,
on a spiritual level.
So when we reach the other side,there's nothing but love.
You're gonna encounter peoplewho you've had challenging
relationships with and you'regonna be like, Hey, thank you
(19:19):
for being a dick, because ithelped me learn how to deal with
certain people, or it helped melearn how to manage my emotions,
or it helped me learn how to doX, Y, and Z.
And that person's gonna say,yeah, sorry about that, but you
know, I am glad it all workedout and I love you all the same.
And you're gonna say, yeah Ilove you too, and maybe in the
next life I can be the boss whotorments you, or I can be this,
(19:43):
or I can be that.
That's how this thing works.
That's how we all learn and growtogether.
It's not random.
It's a beautifully orchestratedand loving situation and thing
that we find ourselves in thiscrazy cycle of reincarnation
coming back over and over again.
(20:04):
It's all for a reason and it'sall for a loving divine purpose.
Can you get a ghost pregnant?
No, you cannot get a ghostpregnant.
They don't have the necessaryparts.
They don't have a body to bringthe baby to term.
No, you can't get a ghostpregnant.
And on an interesting side note,there is such a thing as sexual
(20:25):
energy.
We all experience it and we allfeel it very viscerally in our
bodies.
Sexual energy is energy, so itdoesn't require a body to feel
it.
It's got its own specificvibration.
So just because you can't get aghost pregnant doesn't mean that
a ghost or a disembodied beingcan't sense sexual energy.
(20:47):
It doesn't mean that they don'thave sexual energy themselves.
We've all had experiences anddreams where there was an
exchange of sexual energy orsexual situations come up.
You're not in a physical bodythere, but you still experience
sexual energy.
Disembodied beings like ghostscan still experience an exchange
sexual energy to a certaindegree, not how we do as we're
(21:11):
incarnated on these bodies, butit's a thing.
I was wondering if Spirits knowit's their birthday and do they
celebrate it?
No.
A spirit is not in a body, whichmeans it's not been birthed.
When you're on the other side inthat state, it's just irrelevant
(21:31):
and you don't have a body, andyou are able to access and
recognize that you've had manypast lives...
So at that point, it's a mootpoint.
You don't even think about it.
You've had many birthdays overthe course of many, many lives.
How can energy just exist?
That is the question.
How can anything just exist?
(21:52):
Everything we see materializedin the three dimensional world
is just a form of energy.
Everything in existence is justenergy.
How can it exist?
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows, and nobody canknow.
It's like what came first?
The chicken or the egg was therenon-existence before there was
existence?
(22:13):
And if there was nothingness andnon-existence, what happened to
cause something to exist out ofnothing?
How is that possible and how isit possible that something has
always been existing foreternity and what even is
eternity?
I love these kind of questions.
(22:34):
Partially because there is noanswer.
They're paradoxical.
You can toss this around in yourmind and your brain forever and
not come to a solid conclusion,and I think that's amazing, and
I think it's a really usefulpractice to think about these
kind of questions.
(22:55):
It's good for us.
It helps give us a differentperspective, helps us think
about things differently.
What even is energy?
Where did it come from?
How is this all happening?
What is the likelihood that youare right where you are right
here, right now, and that I amright here, right now,
experiencing this life?
It's miraculous.
(23:16):
It's extraordinary.
It doesn't make any sense and itcan't make sense.
You can't wrap your head aroundit.
You can only experience it righthere, right now, in the present
moment.
It's beyond words simply toanswer that question.
There is no answer to thatquestion, and that brings me to
(23:37):
a thought that something thatI'd heard once long ago that
really resonated with me, thatGod knows everything except
where it came from, and Ipersonally believe that to be
true.
God knows everything exceptwhere it came from.
Has anyone experienced strangehappenings with your cell phone
or other personal electronicdevices after having an
(23:59):
extensive grieving moment abouta close loved one?
I've never personallyexperienced that and beings on
the other side who have,especially recently left their
body, they do still have anenergetic connection to the
three dimensional plane.
There are so many stories ofentities, beings, ghosts,
(24:21):
whatever you wanna call'em,interacting on the 3D plane with
different objects, with people.
They're able to man manipulateenergy in such a way where they
can affect to a certain degree,things that are happening here.
I think the longer a spirit hasbeen out of the body, the less
they have that ability or the,the less potent that ability is.
(24:43):
Yeah, but that might look likemoving something on a table.
That could look like manydifferent things that the
interaction, that what they'reable to do that could also look
like interfering with yourelectronic devices, being able
to change, uh, electronic waves,being able to turn on a TV or
flip on a light switch.
(25:05):
I actually did have anexperience after a session doing
some channeling work, trying toclear out energies from this
house where in the middle of thenight, a light bulb exploded.
The light was off.
This light bulb just exploded inthe middle of the night, the day
after I'd done this work and.
(25:27):
It was clear to me that the workwasn't done and that there was
still energies and entities thatwere present that were looking
for resolution and, and weren't,they didn't want to necessarily
just be evicted from the spacethey were at because they liked
it.
Eventually we were able toresolve the situation, but it
was my belief that, and it wasvery clear to me, like just
(25:49):
intuitively, I just knew it,that, oh, that was a sign.
Like somebody is not reallyhappy that we're trying to clear
this situation up and they letus know about it.
So, to answer your question,yeah, and especially if you are
reaching out to that being, oryou have the intention of
connecting with that person orthat spirit or there's a strong,
(26:11):
energetic emotional bond there,like especially then there's
much more likely to be some sortof interaction or they're much
more likely to be able tocommunicate with you in some
roundabout way.
If the people who abused you dieand they have to experience what
they did to you, do theycontinue to experience the pain?
Their acts of cruelty are stillcausing you now.
(26:31):
No, they don't and neither doyou.
Pain is not optional.
Pain is a part of life.
If you're alive, you areexperiencing pain.
Suffering, on the other hand, issimply unintegrated and
unprocessed pain.
We've all had experiences in ourlives.
For example, a breakup where inthe moment it was terrible.
(26:52):
It was awful, heartbreak, thewhole nine yards.
A lot of pain associated withthat.
And most of us can look back andlook at breakups that we've had
in the past and look at them andsay, wow, I'm so glad that
happened.
I learned so much from that,that person taught me so much.
It set me up for this nextrelationship, whatever may be.
(27:15):
The pain you were experiencingfrom then, and the pain you're
experiencing now are verydifferent.
There's no pain now because thepain has been integrated and
processed.
The experience itself doesn'tchange it.
The experience is what it is,but as the pain becomes
processed and integrated, it'ssubsides.
(27:36):
When his spirit transcend itsbody, there is a life review
where that spirit has to atonefor and look at all the
circumstances where they'vecaused harm to another person or
another being another spirit,and they experience that pain,
but they process it immediately.
Pain gets stored in our bodies,and one of the reasons why it
(27:59):
turns into suffering is becauseit gets stuck in places and it
doesn't get processed.
When you're in that purespiritual form there's no
physical form for the pain toget stuck to.
So the processing just happens.
You experience the pain andyou're so much in the present
moment that you just movethrough it, you don't hang onto
(28:19):
it, none of that sticks to you.
You retain the lesson and thememory from it.
Like, oh man, I don't wanna dothat again.
That did not feel good, in mynext life.
I'm not gonna treat people thatway.
Whatever it may be.
But they don't retain that pain.
In the same way it's notnecessary for us to suffer and
to retain pains from the past.
(28:42):
The only reason that happens isbecause something is
unintegrated.
Are dogs and cats in theafterlife?
Yes.
Dogs, cats, zebras, parakeets,any being that has a spirit will
persist into the afterlife.
The physical bodies will die,but the spirit is made up of
(29:03):
just energy, and energy neverdies, so it will continue on to
another stage of its journey.
That being said, we don'tnecessarily hang out with the
dogs and cats.
They're at a differentdevelopmental stage and they're
doing their thing in theafterlife and we're doing our
thing and it.
You can visit them, and thereis, I'm sure some spiritual
(29:25):
connection there still, butthey're not just hanging out
with us typically.
Are feelings random, justbiological or spiritual beings
having an impact on us.
Feelings are not random.
Feelings and emotions are howthe universe communicates with
us.
It's feedback, it's all signalsto us, letting us know what is
inside of us.
When somebody says somethingthat maybe upsets us in a
(29:47):
certain way, it's the universeletting us know that there is
something unresolved inside ofus.
It doesn't matter what the otherperson says or believes.
You could have two peoplestanding right next to each
other.
One person says some ignorantcomment.
One of the people is going tohave a visceral, get upset sort
(30:08):
of response, and the otherperson might not have any sort
of response.
It doesn't have anything to dowith the external stimuli, it's
all showing us what's inside ofus.
All of our emotions.
Joe Dispenza says that thoughtsare the language of the mind,
and emotions are the language ofthe body.
This is how the universecommunicates with us because we
(30:29):
are feeling beings when we'realive in this three dimensional
experience.
Spiritual beings, I supposespiritual beings can communicate
with us through thoughts.
So if they're able to implant ornudge a thought in our
direction, and they know thatit's going to encourage a
(30:51):
certain response.
Say for example, you have anaversion to a certain religion
or a certain kind of religiouspractice, a being who maybe
doesn't have your best interestin mind, could nudge a thought
about that certain thing thatyou don't like in your direction
(31:11):
to try to mess with you or totry to encourage you or to
create a situation where, thisthought is gonna come in, you're
gonna interact with it, and it'sgonna elicit a negative
emotional response.
That is possible and for themost part, it's not random, our
emotions definitely aren'trandom.
Even if we don't recognize thetrigger to it or the cause of an
(31:34):
emotion, there's alwayssomething that causes an emotion
and it's always pointing towardssomething that is inside of us,
alerting us to what is alreadythere.
Never imposing something on usfrom the external.
I keep feeling like someone isin the room with me when they
are not.
I get a shadow like movement inmy peripheral vision when I
look, no one's there.
(31:54):
What does that mean?
Well, it probably meanssomething.
Follow your feelings, yourfeelings mean something.
Listen to your intuition.
Go inward.
If you feel like there is apresence there, there probably
is.
What does it mean?
That's a whole other question.
It can mean any number of thingsand in situations like this,
(32:16):
just because you can't seesomething doesn't mean it's not
there.
There could be somebody in theroom next to you blowing on a
dog whistle as hard as they can.
It doesn't mean that that highpitch frequency isn't being
emitted.
It just means you can't perceiveit.
In the same way, you might notbe seeing something with your
naked eye at, but it doesn'tmean that there's not an
energetic presence there.
(32:38):
What does it mean that's up forinterpretation?
You really gotta sit with yourintuition on that.
Examine that feeling.
What is that feeling tellingyou?
Get real clear with it.
Sit with it.
Feel the real subtleties of thatfeeling.
Does it feel positive?
Does it feel negative?
Does it feel like I'm beingwatched?
Does it feel like somebody wantssomething from me?
(33:00):
In this kind of situation,there's not a lot of really
tangible evidence, so I reallytry to avoid making any
assumptions.
I look at the situation as ifI'm an observer.
A third person say, what isactually happening here?
What is Observably true and whatis not Observably true?
What could I potentially beputting my own spin on?
(33:22):
I, I like to observe things fromthat perspective.
And again, just getting reallyclear and starting to look for
patterns.
Do I do every time I go in thisroom, do I notice that I get the
same feeling coming from thesame direction?
Or is it a certain time of daywhen I go in there or, does this
energy feel like somebody Iknow, is it familiar?
The person you should be askingthese questions to is yourself
(33:45):
and spending time in meditationwithout a bunch of noise so you
can just try to hone in on thatfeeling as much as possible.
And that's gonna be the bestguidance in a situation like
this where you don't havetangible evidence of something
being there, but you intuitivelyhave a strong sense that there
is something more to thesituation.
(34:06):
Is our death date predestined?
No, the exact date of your deathis not predestined.
And we do come into theseincarnations with a plan and we
have a general idea based on thecontracts that we've come into
this life with about how longwe'll live and the different
things that will happen, themajor life events that we'll
(34:27):
experience.
We may know that we're gonnahave a long life, we may know
that we're gonna have a shortlife, but the exact date is not
set in stone.
We do still have free will, wemight take a certain path on
the, the life plan.
We might veer a little bit oneway.
We might veer a little bitanother way, but we're gonna be
moving in a general directionand hit the milestones and the
(34:49):
main points that we're supposedto hit.
Exact death date?
No, but you'll have an ideabefore you incarnate roughly how
long your incarnation will be.
Are we stardust?
After life we die, does ourlight go back to the universe?
That's actually two questions.
The first question, yeah, we arestardust.
(35:10):
Our blood is made up ofhemoglobin.
Hemoglobin molecules have fouratoms of iron in them.
*Iron only occurs in the naturaluniverse when a massive star at
its core gets so dense, itstarts to create iron, it
destabilizes the star and causesa supernova.
(35:30):
So when iron is created in theuniverse, it comes from the
explosion of a super massivestar that is the only time iron
is made.
We are made up of stardust.
Every part of us is made up ofstardust, and after we die, does
our light go back to theuniverse?
I would say that our light neverleaves the universe, they're not
(35:53):
separate.
If we believe that our light isnot part of the universe, that
is an error in our perception.
It is all just one thing.
Our perception in our mind iswhat creates division between
anything.
The ego mind, this humanexperience.
(36:15):
When you leave your body and yougo back to the spiritual plane,
you realize like, oh, it wasalways there.
Energy never dies and you can'tseparate light.
Everything is a form of energy.
Why are innocent peoplesuffering?
Is this, what happens to peoplewho are harming others now in
their next lives?
(36:35):
We all incarnate on earth inthese bodies to experience pain
and suffering.
When we're in that spiritualplane.
The next dimension after ourlives, you don't experience pain
and suffering.
It's a very calm and chill andrelaxed space.
It's the ultimate comfort zone,and no growth ever happens
(36:55):
inside your comfort zone.
Think about lifting a weight.
If you're lifting a weight, whyare you doing that?
Well, you need that resistanceto build muscle.
Forms of resistance are reallyimportant for us to be able to
learn and grow.
The pain and suffering thatwe're experiencing now is a
blessing.
It's helping us.
Without that pain and suffering,we would be static, we would be
(37:17):
plateaued.
We wouldn't be moving, wewouldn't be growing, we wouldn't
be expanding.
There's a universal God-givenimpulse inside of all of us to
grow and expand and learn.
And when we're not growing andexpanding and learning in some
form, we're miserable.
We're not happy.
We're not in alignment withnature.
Pain and suffering, while it isa challenging and unpleasant
(37:40):
experience, we all chose it onsome level and it's temporary,
and we're gonna go back to thatplace where we can just chill
and relax and say, oh, wow, Isee why I did that, or I see why
that person was in my life.
I see why that happened.
I'm glad I chose that becausenow I know and I'm never gonna
impart that on other peopleanymore.
(38:01):
And yeah I'm better for havingthat experience.
Could God or spiritual beingsever misunderstand you?
No, not really.
God or a truly advancedspiritual being, they can read
you like a book, they can seeyour mind, body, spirit, which
is all energy, look at it andknow exactly what's going on
(38:23):
with you.
That being said, I'm gonna readbetween the lines here and let
you know that God is not gonnafollow your conscious mind.
The conscious mind is only asmall percentage of our self.
The unconscious mind makes upover 90% of our being, of who we
are.
(38:43):
And when God or a spiritualentity or an angel looks at us
and reads us, most of whatthey're reading is your
unconscious mind.
So if, if you're thinking, Iwant a million dollars.
I really want money.
I really want money, I reallywant money.
And unconsciously you believethat you're not worthy of money
or you think money's bad, or youhave some limiting belief about
(39:04):
money or, and this, this couldapply to anything in life.
If that is a, a belief that isheld within you, Spirit is going
to respond to that.
God is going to respond to whatyou truly believe in and what
your unconscious mind wants.
Do people believe NDEs are realor merely hallucinations or
dreams or made up for publicattention to create a story?
(39:28):
There's a lot of people on thisplanet.
There's gonna be a certainpercentage of people that fall
into each of those categories.
Some people are gonna believethat they are real.
Some people are gonna believethey're hallucinations or
dreams, and some people aregonna believe that they are just
made up.
With as many NDE stories thatare out there and how credible
they are, and the uniformitybetween them.
(39:51):
If you believe that an NDE isjust made up, or all NDEs are
just made up to create a storyor to get attention mostly by
people who have no desire forattention, then that doesn't
speak to evidence, that speaksto a belief.
The evidence for an afterlife isthere through the NDEs, through
(40:15):
many other avenues.
If you don't believe it, it'snot because of lack of evidence,
it's because of some conflictinginternal belief.
Hallucinations or dreams...
I mean, is a dream real?
Is a dream real?
You're having an experience andis a hallucination real?
(40:36):
How is the hallucination notreal?
If you're having an experience,you may not be physically having
an experience, but how is thatdifferent than your regular
experience or a dream like?
Is there much of adifferentiation?
If you experience something in adream, it still impacts your
life.
If you experience something in ahallucination or what we would
call a hallucination, it stillis gonna have an impact on you.
(41:00):
So on one hand, it doesn'tmatter, what's the difference?
And yeah, people are gonnabelieve what they wanna believe.
Do addictions leave you when youenter the afterlife?
Been thinking, looking down andseeing people eating nice food
and having a cigarette will beteasing me.
No, your addictions do notfollow you into the afterlife.
(41:23):
When we shed these physicalbodies, and when we transcend
our meat vehicles, we go to aplace where our personality and
the experiences and the emotionsthat we're dictating a lot of
our lives, they just fade away.
We're not connected to thatanymore, and addiction is almost
entirely caused by trauma.
(41:45):
And when we pass out of thesebodies and transcend, we're able
to look at our life experiencesand look at our traumas from a
different perspective and say,oh, I see the, the overeating
thing, the the drugs thing, theshopping compulsion, the
whatever addiction it is, youcan trace it all the way back to
(42:07):
the source, to the trauma thatcaused that and say, oh, like I
that addiction was a result ofsomething that, that addiction
wasn't its own thing.
That wasn't me.
That was a behavior that I wasjust experiencing and
perpetuating because I neverhealed this trauma, or I never
(42:27):
dealt with this unresolvedemotional issue.
That being said, just becausethe addiction goes away, if
there's an em emotional karma orsomething that keeps you
energetically tied to thatbehavior, it is possible that in
your next life you'll bepresented with a similar sort of
situation or trauma that willcause an addictive sort of
(42:52):
situation where maybe in pastlives where you had been
addicted in a, a future life,you may be in the same situation
that, that you can use toovercome the addiction or to
learn how to, to integrate thatpart of yourself such that you
no longer have to go through thecycle of addiction.
(43:13):
So if you're experiencing strongaddictions in this life, you
probably will in future livesunless you resolve whatever
emotional baggage is tied upwith them.
Do people enter the quantumworld after death?
Yes.
We are already in a quantumworld.
We just don't perceive thoselevels of reality.
(43:35):
But when we transcend the body,the quantum reality and things
that are associated with thatbecome much more apparent.
When we die, can we come back,but to another time or maybe
another planet?
Yeah, absolutely.
The purpose for taking anincarnation is to learn lessons.
And if we decide later on thatwe wanna learn a different set
(43:56):
of lessons or we recognize thatmaybe a different time in
history or a different planet,different location is gonna be
more conducive to us learningthe lessons that we need to
learn, then we can reincarnatethere, no big deal.
It's happens all the time.
We've all had many, manyincarnations across many planets
and many times.
