(00:00):
Hello and welcome everyone. And this is Pete, Psychic Pete. And welcome to
(00:06):
today's broadcast. I'm very excited about today because we have a very special guest
coming on the broadcast today. Her name is Karen Matteis. And Karen is a professional and
compassionate psychic medium and energy director among many things. Karen has a very diverse and
(00:26):
very interesting background. She's been a nurse. She is a nurse. And we're going to get to know a
little bit more about Karen during the broadcast. And she's going to share with us who she is and
what she does. And probably the best way to start to introduce Karen is to explain how I know her.
Karen is a colleague. She's also a friend, a classmate, and a co-teacher in the Anastasia
(00:52):
system. I met Karen about five or six years ago, I think. And my life's never been the same.
Karen and I have experienced many, many things together. Lots of learning opportunities we've
shared. And so I'd like to welcome Karen to the broadcast today. Karen, welcome and thanks so much
(01:15):
for coming on. Thank you, Peter, for having me. I appreciate being here and your interest. So
we always have fun talking and that's pretty much how it's going to go.
Well, you're in a safe place. Pardon me, safe space because as folks who are listening to the
(01:36):
broadcast know, it's a community of people just like us who are interested in topics related to
psychics and mediums. And all the questions are good questions. And we have a diverse
listenership here. People come in who are wannabes and just learning and starting off. And other
people have been our seasoned veterans have been doing this for quite a while. And as a way of
(02:00):
introducing you, would you mind if I just read your bio a little bit and then... So Karen writes,
at a young age, she was seeing and communicating with spirit people. And she also discovered she
was empathic and could tune into other people's emotions and their family situations and some of
their future events. Karen found herself attracted to helping and comforting people in their time of
(02:25):
need. For the past 20 years, Karen has had a successful career as a registered nurse. And now
she is a certified special advisor through the Lisa Williams International School of Spiritual
Development, specializing in psychic mediumship and spiritual healing. Further, if that's not
(02:46):
enough, that's pretty impressive, right? Karen delivers clear, concise and meaningful messages
in a powerful and compassionate manner. Her intent is to help inspire, empower and bring energy,
healing and clarity to both client and spirit. And that's a wonderful bio to... And...
(03:09):
Thank you. Yeah, yeah. It's inspiring and makes you very accessible, but also, you know, there's a
lot of hard work, a lot of time, hard work, blood, sweat and tears that goes into all this development,
isn't it? And that's what it is, development. So it's continued. So I continue taking classes, keep
(03:30):
learning, keep learning, each reading, there's something to be learned. Yeah. Yeah. At any age,
right? We can start this, you know, in the middle or towards the end, even if you're interested in
doing this. Yeah. Wherever it takes you, it's spirit led. So I'm... And I also, and I know all of us,
(03:54):
should say all of us, but all of us who've had experiences with spirits, especially as children
and trying to explain that. And in my era, growing up, it wasn't necessarily an acceptable event to
be talking about. So I know a lot of people who we've had to kind of keep that in our own personal
closet. And then as the years have gone by, we've been able to develop that and bring it out and
(04:19):
not worry so much about being judged. Yeah. Yeah. Karen, that's an amazing point. And thanks for
bringing it up. Because the purpose of the broadcast and the whole radio station really is to
enlighten people, make them feel comfortable talking about these kinds of topics and
allowing ourselves to freely discuss them and enjoy them together and share amongst ourselves
(04:44):
and the listeners. And I think, like you mentioned, people derive a lot of information and also come
from, like you mentioned in your bio, from hearing about these topics. And it sort of takes some of
the scariness and the mystery out of it. Because as you know, having studied, it's empirical stuff,
(05:05):
it's spiritual and it's scientific and it all kind of blends together. And it takes special people
like yourself who connect with people naturally to make it accessible for them. So that's one of the
reasons I'm so excited you were willing to come on the broadcast. You're a perfect fit for us.
So before I get too far ahead of myself, I know my guests are going to want to be able to find you
(05:29):
online. So your website is karensclarity.com. That's our one word, karensclarity.com. And if
folks would like to email you, the email address we have is karensclarity@ gmail.com.
karensclarity at gmail.com. And I'll mention that a few more times through the broadcasts,
(05:51):
so that we have a chance to let people reach out to you if they have questions or would like to.
So yeah, before I give you a chance to talk, I thought I'd tell folks how we know one another.
We're colleagues, we're both friends, classmates, and we're co-teachers in the Anastasi system.
(06:15):
Let's let us down a path. We sort of shared this journey of discovery together and met some
people and some combined experience with the other teachers and students. And it's been a marvelous
experience, I think. And Karen has a natural way of being a very, very helpful friend and very
(06:38):
supportive. She's naturally empathic. So anyway, you had mentioned, and I want to get to what you'd
like to talk about, is something we had discussed before about childhood experiences. So if you're
listening to this broadcast and you've had some childhood experiences, maybe some mystical
experiences or some unexplained encounters, maybe with maybe a spirit or some energy or something
(07:04):
like, that's what we'll be diving in to talk to Karen about because she's had some rather interesting
and unique experiences we're going to ask her to talk about. And I've recently found that this is
a thing, Karen. I've discovered that many people like yourself have had a history and have a
background in their childhood of having these sort of unusual kinds of things. And they carried it
(07:29):
through like you have through adulthood and put the pieces together. They've had the opportunity
after having talked to some people and thought about it and did some research and study that those
things are meaningful and had some significance. Would you mind telling us about some of your
childhood experiences? Absolutely. Absolutely. So there's a couple of different aspects here.
(07:57):
One of my early memories was having this voice in my head explain to me what was going on or
maybe what this emotion was that I was feeling. And it wasn't until the age of nine
did I realize that this voice that I talked with that would share its wisdoms and direct me in
(08:17):
things was a separate energy. So that was my first moment of awareness that it was not me talking to
me. This is something else. But as a child, I remember the first time it spoke up and this
is when I first had that first memory of it speaking up to me when I was handed a marshmallow and
(08:39):
ice cream cone. And I looked at that. That's not what I was expecting. And it popped up and said,
the emotion you're feeling is called disappointment. Stared at it. It's like, well, in my mind,
this is still not okay. I don't like marshmallows. So it basically said just say thank you,
(08:59):
it'll be okay. And I said, all right. I said thank you. And I just walked up and moved this
cone like I didn't want it. But that was the first, I guess, maybe memory that I can go back to and
say, nope, I remember it saying it labeled the emotion I was feeling. Told me it was going to
be okay. It didn't matter. It was all right. But this was that experience. And there's other ones
like that. So I'm not sure how diverse to go about this. But also in that time frame, I used to see
(09:27):
people in my room, they would be staring at me and I would stare back at them. And then, you know,
I would watch them as I go to sleep. I was, you know, that was whatever. And there was one night
where I had a babysitter over and I was under the age of three because my brother had not yet arrived.
(09:50):
And I had watched Casper the Friendly Ghost, I think for the first time. And anyway, whatever
happened with this babysitter explaining to me that the people in my room are not the ghosts or
whatever. And this is when I all of a sudden came to mind that there are ghosts in my room.
Started a whole new thing of fear factor for myself. I feel for my mother who had to be called
(10:14):
home from a cocktail party because I was inconsolable about the ghosts in my room.
And that kind of started off this whole thing of where there were certain things that were
acceptable to bring up in front of people and certain things that were not. And the people in
my room were not necessarily a welcome conversation topic, as well as when I would get an impression
(10:40):
and I would just say whatever. And I don't always know in this house what happens in psychic greetings.
I may be mentioning something even as an example recently, I'm kind of like the sunflowers. And,
you know, all of a sudden realizing the person that's across me is saying,
yeah, but the sunflowers mean a big thing to me. I'm thinking, oh, okay, great. You know,
(11:03):
but those are the things that you get in psychics that you don't even know what's coming out of your
mouth is significant to somebody else because, however, we're picking it up, you know, we're
sharing it with them. So as childhood, going back to my childhood experiences,
and I've had many of them, I mean, from my guiding voice, I mean, I can go through all these different
(11:28):
stories. I'm not sure if that's what everybody was interested in hearing. But I've had many of them,
including my one, something that made such an impact on me was when I was getting a timeout,
all right, supposed to face the wall. And I was angry about it, face the wall, wait for, you know,
it was like five minutes, whatever it might have been, but it's a lifetime to me. And that
(11:53):
little voice piped up and said, well, wait, be calm, take a, you know, this is how it's done here,
that your most precious thing to you is time. And people here, you know, will try to take your time.
So don't let them take your time. You're sitting here facing the wall, let's use this time.
(12:18):
And he said, you know, he wants you to think about what you did. So we can think about it.
And that was my first notion really of how there was a value to time. And realizing,
because when my dad came back in, I wasn't really done to go back out and play. I was still in this
conversation. And I remember this is one of those bigger lonely moments for myself of the value of
(12:44):
time. That is mine. That's my commodity. So I've always protected my time now. But those are the
snippets of guidance I received from him to call my guiding voice. You know, it didn't actually
tell me per se, you know, what to do. It would give me information on things that I
didn't know anything about. It still does pipe up. Because there are moments where I'm blank
(13:10):
faced staring off going, I mean, I feel like I should know what's going on. But right now I don't.
Maybe it's a world matter. Maybe it's something in the grocery store. Well, then it's like,
this is what's happening. Thank you. And go about my day. And I'm happy to keep going through all my
childhood experiences. I'm not sure if that's going to be of interest to anybody else besides myself.
(13:34):
But it's fun to go back through those moments where I mean, I can bring up the mental picture
of these, this man and woman in my bedroom as I would go to sleep at night. And I still wonder,
I said, were these somebody I, I would have known, are these birth parents,
(13:56):
are these just visitors, or are they just looking for somebody to deliver a message to their loved
ones? And I was the closest thing around. So they were hanging out in my room. So I didn't think of
them. I was just people there. And I was watching them and they were watching me. So, and I remember
how they were dressed, what they looked like. I could pick them out in the crowd. Because that's
(14:22):
one of those moments that just watching them go, what are they doing? Anyway, I hope that started
at least part of that conversation of childhood experiences. Yeah. Because I think we've all had
some and, but seeing things that other people don't see, or even noticing things that other
(14:42):
people don't notice. Right, right, right. Absolutely. Absolutely.
I find this absolutely fascinating. And thank you for sharing that so far.
Oh, I can keep on going.
Yeah. And I'll tell you why. Because again, we mentioned before the book has a little of the top,
(15:04):
that, and this will be the topic of my new book, Childhood Experiences Shared Amongst People. And
you said, you feel like it's a common thing. And I'm trying to do that. I'm trying to ask people who
come and people I meet about any childhood experiences I have. And you're fitting into that
perfectly, because you're saying things that is a common thread. You're interacting with them.
(15:28):
And it feels very natural. And you sort of communicate with them in a way that, you know,
just they're there, they're present, and you're able to distinguish them or see where they are.
And you know, the thing is, we're very, quite remarkable. And it's another thing, attribute,
that's all people who talk about these, is you're able to remember distinctly and succinctly,
(15:49):
what was going on, what happened, because it leaves such an impression for you.
And of course, you weren't traumatized. I mean, you're alerted. Your emotions are aroused,
but you're not necessarily, and in the exception of the party where you said you were in a,
mom had to come home from the cocktail party. You know, it became more natural. It's like, okay,
(16:12):
here we go again. There they are. All right, people. And, you know, it's like a variation
of the theme after that, isn't it? It is. It is. Yeah. No, I've,
the things I have, I mean, some people call it clairvoyance, you know, it's that when you see
things with your third eye, but there are also things that we see with our actual eyeballs.
(16:34):
Mm-hmm. Because, you know, I, growing up, my children have also witnessed, you know,
beings come through the house. Their friends have much, we,
okay, a little shame to this, but we always try to carry mums the words necessarily. So they
(16:57):
didn't go home and tell their parents about things, you know, but you can't hang out with me or be in
the house without picking up on some of it. It's just part of the makeup. I'm also saying,
but going back to childhood experiences, because that's part of it. When you can read somebody else,
(17:20):
though you don't, not trying to, it's just that
your thoughts are picked up on, your intentions, or just watching somebody and saying, oh, wait a
minute, this is coming next. Why I know this, I don't know. I don't know what I, I don't know
(17:40):
that I know, but I know. Mm-hmm. Sure. You mentioned nine years old, you mentioned that experience,
and that's, would you say that was when the awareness became, your awareness opened up or
you were sort of like, oh, I see. And would that be the right time? That was when I became aware
(18:02):
that the voice that I spoke with in my head was a separate energy from myself. I see. I'm going to
go ahead and open up, I'm just going to share you detailed what the story was that was happening.
I was playing with my Barbie dolls, and my one Barbie was telling the other Barbie what my father
had told me recently, because he was an atheist. And repeating what the doll said to the other one
(18:27):
was the fact that there's no such thing as God. This is something that people make up because
they're afraid to die. Because when we die, it's over, nothing. Why? Now, I knew whatever it was,
I knew better than that. And it didn't, I mean, it didn't appraise me, but the voice says, Karen,
(18:52):
what if, what if you're incorrect? What if you're wrong?
And there is a God.
And the rest of the world is right, there's a God. And that was a moment that I was like, huh.
But that's where I realized, hold, stop, lost this message for 20 years,
(19:20):
but dropped my Barbie dolls and got up and left my room. Because that's when I realized
there was another voice within me talking, somebody else had outside knowledge. And
which was kind of sad to me, because when I went back and revisited, I said, wait, that's right,
there's my absolute proof that there's a, I mean, the voice that never lied to me before,
(19:41):
there is a God. And that sounds kind of goofy, but I lost the actual message to that.
You know, whether, however, whatever you want to label this source being here, whatever,
that's what I was given as information. But that was when I realized that truly there was something
because I was in conflict with how my parents were, that I was in conflict with everything else I
(20:03):
had been taught to that moment. And then I can give one more step further, is that a year later,
age of 10, is my first experience with I'm going to put air clothes around the dark side
when I had a entity come into my room.
Threatened me basically was saying it wanted my air code again powers.
(20:27):
Didn't know what you're talking about, but it did say, you know, I know what you're afraid of.
You're afraid of the dark and turned off my nightlight and you're afraid of being trapped
and it closed my door. And I won't keep going on for the rest of the conversation part of that,
but I'm afraid of the dark. And I'm afraid of the dark. And I'm afraid of the dark. And I'm afraid
(20:48):
for the rest of the conversations part of that. But I was paralyzed with fear literally.
All the time in my life I ever went under my covers because I didn't know what to do,
because I was trapped, waited, waited and waited until finally light the sunlight came up through
my window and I came out from under the covers to find my light was turned off and my door was closed.
(21:15):
And my parents long knew I was afraid of the dark, long knew don't trap me in my room,
I have to make an exit. So that was those standard things. But in that time, I never,
I didn't know really there was a light and dark, I know it sounds kind of stupid, but
(21:36):
I'd never had that awareness. I ran, I told every friend I was, I was in fifth grade,
I told everybody what had happened, because I was, I was sure I was going to be God, you know,
and so everybody knew. Bless my parents, everybody got to know about this. So and that was, I guess,
(21:58):
my first experience with, okay, wait, powers, what are we talking about? There's one.
And two, I didn't want them to get me. And that sounds also weird. So that also started this whole
my, my trail of trying to find ways to protect myself. And that has been ongoing, because I
(22:21):
realize that people that will, you know, whatever they're doing in their life, they will never
come across the dark side. That just isn't going to be in their their thing. It's not.
A lot of people don't even believe that there's a dark side. I'm not sure why I'm going down this
rabbit hole. But, but there is. And that's when I got my parents to take me to a church, because
(22:46):
I was like, I need protection, I need to find out I need to be able to protect myself. So
bless them, they brought me to a church, but that's not where it was at. And I knew it was
I was going there. It's like, oh, you're looking at me like I am a giant bug. I know you don't
understand. You don't understand. This is what I need. I know what I need. I need help. This is
(23:10):
this. You've got problems, kid. That's not how it works. That's like, oh, yes, it is. Yes, I know
this much. So that didn't didn't last long in my my agenda of life. But it did start this this
on this road of making sure that I did what I could do to protect myself at that time.
(23:36):
There wasn't a lot of books for saying, okay, what I had access to, to and I'm not sure I would have
read them anyway. But you would hear things, okay, put yourself in a white light. Got it. Got the
white light. Got the white light. I understand now too that the white light, you know, is,
(23:59):
you know, can be just run right over. However, he gave me peace until I had never, you know,
another incident or whatever. It's has always put me on that quest. So I continued to look for those
type of things for protection, which is actually what led me to Sandy and Stacey, right, who we had
(24:19):
met earlier because she way back, you know, as time progressed and we got on to the fact we had now
internet and everybody had a home computer. And then there's this beautiful thing called YouTube,
which will show you how to do plumbing and all these other things online. Right. But also there
was Sandy who had these snippets of, you know, little things on there for psychic protection.
(24:42):
You know, I think she was the greatest person in the world. So I know I'm going down my own
rabbit hole, but this is just one of those things in life that I don't know that people are aware of
and I'm sure that other people have had similar encounters where there was something scary, but
they had nothing to help them with. You know, I'm not trying to do an advertisement here, but there
(25:08):
are, there are things out there that you can learn to do to help protect yourself. I wish there was,
Peter and I had this conversation earlier today. We kind of wish there was an absolute total
protection, something. Haven't found it yet. Still looking. However, there is a whole diverse amount
(25:29):
of things you can do to help protect yourself and seal yourself up from, I'm going to call some
negative influence. I'm probably going to need time here.
Thank you, Karen. Thank you so much. That's a beautiful, for sharing that beautiful story.
It's very, very personal, very, very intimate and it's not wasted on the listeners whatsoever.
(25:52):
Cause I think it's, it's very heartfelt. And also to make that, to make, to find a point on,
if you, if you've had, if you're listening to this broadcast and you've shared things similar
to what Karen's described in your childhood, or if you know, some children are going through this
right now. I think that Karen's messages of hope, because there is, this is not unusual.
(26:17):
As we sort of pointed out, these things sort of happen organically, naturally, and there's a way
to address it safely. Right. And I love, I'm just going to frame Karen's experience in this way.
She was fifth grade and there was a sixth. And she came out, she sort of went to people and said,
look, this is what's going on. And she knew instinctively to do spiritually, instinctively
(26:44):
to seek safety, to find something that was going to protect her protection, basically as right,
right. Karen about safety, about making sure that you're harming yourself or allowing anything to
do any harm to you. Right. Yeah. Well, I knew I needed to find a way to protect him because that
(27:05):
was scary. Sure. I didn't have, I mean, some people, you know, they grew up going to church,
they grew up with something. Okay. You're before I was told, Hey, there is, there is a guy now.
Okay. That's why I was like, all right, I know this is real, we're going here. And then it was
(27:26):
like, nah, this church necessarily for me. But there are other avenues out there and there is,
there's a lot out there available that offers us protection. And there is whatever your belief is,
whether you call it source or Buddha or God, whatever, there is a something so much more than
(27:49):
we are that we are a spark of, you know, there's that, there's that piece of us, we are a spark of
the divine. That's my belief. Yeah. You know, which, yeah, I put my hands up in the air, kind
of going, it's like, you know, I led myself to here. So what am I going with? Right. But as far as,
(28:10):
you know, there's always hope. We have our own team. We have a spirit team, which I have, I have met.
I have, have met both of them that, you know, that, that mental reality we have going on,
or like, you know, we do mental mediumship, the spirituality to have that manifest in front of me
(28:31):
to have stepped up to protect me. So. Sure. Sure. And before we get too far ahead of ourselves,
I want to make sure today folks were talking with professional psychic and medium and energy director,
Karen Mateus. And Karen is talking to us today about her childhood experiences and sharing some of
(28:54):
the very unique things that have occurred to her and sharing that journey with us. And if you have
questions for Karen, if you'd like to reach out to her, her email address is karensclarity.gmail.com.
That's all one word. Karen'sclarity.gmail.com. And she welcomes you to reach out and, you know,
(29:17):
share an experience that you might have, you know, had, or if you have any questions, if you'd like to
just compare notes, have a chat about that, you know, and explore. And what Karen's described here
is that this has been a path. It's been a rather securitas path for her development. So it began
when she was young and she continued it, seeking, seeking psychic protections. And then, you know,
(29:41):
here she is a guest on the show telling us about, and so if you're a person and I know they're out
there, I know they're out there, Karen, who don't believe they need any psychic protection, you know,
we're living proof, you and I, because, you know, it is real. And I often say here on the broadcast
that we can't deny anyone their own experience. And so it's an old fashioned kind of
(30:07):
prome of wisdom. And I predict, here's a prediction, for future oriented, that you and I are going to try
to develop a psychic protection that's a coverall for everything, and to keep everything off. And
then we'll go on Shark Tank and we'll make millions of dollars. I would find it, I would give it away.
(30:29):
And, you know, and that said, though, there are people that, you know, it will never, they'll
never encounter it. And they can always dispute that and say, no, that's not a thing. And it's
good for them. And I mean that sincerely, because it wasn't supposed to be part of their experience.
Right, right. And I applaud and I'm a little bit envious, but, you know, I'm glad for them.
(30:55):
Yeah, yeah. There is a part of me that also wonders sometimes, was it just some masterminded
something just to let me know that, hey, kid, there's other things you can do outside of what
you're doing. Sure. Yeah. And that brings us to a fascinating question also. Do we welcome these
things in? Do we just someday just psychically trip over something when we're doing a reading
(31:17):
for somebody or when we're opened up and we didn't protect? It always opens up all these
sorts of questions about how and when and why does this happen to us? And it can scare some people
really away from looking at these sort of spiritual gifts and abilities. And we've
encountered those types of people in the classes and, you know, our classmates. Some people would
(31:40):
come in to learn like you to make sure they feel protected, but also to control it, you know,
any abilities they have. So these things are unwelcome and unharnessed. But also people like
me that just want to learn more about it and develop it and sort of see how do we, because
I'm a control freak, so how do I control it? I'll be sure to turn that off. Yeah. Right. Lock it down
(32:04):
if you can. So again, a fascinating topic of discussion. And, you know, when we talk about
childhood and we talk about these spiritual encounters, they're unusual, aren't they? It
(32:26):
feels a little like what? Because children don't often have the vocabulary or the technical
language to describe, but in a simplistic way, what I've noticed is, and I've been doing quite
a bit of, you know, personal research, just reading the autobiographies of people and talking about
these childhood experiences. And as I mentioned before, there seems to be a common thread that
(32:50):
they've had these early childhood experiences that are very profound and have a lasting effect.
And, but also created this opening or this awareness that they sort of grew from. But it pauses me to
wonder, to pause and think about, I wonder how many people have had these sorts of experiences
where they suppress them. I mentioned, you mentioned that as well, where they sort of walked away in
(33:14):
fear and said, no, no, no, it's my imagination. That's not really happening. Or other people
tell us, I know Sandy Anastasi in the course that she teaches says, people are dismissive of these
kinds of things. Don't let your imagination, it doesn't happen. Just forget it. That's just,
and oftentimes it's a shame, you know, because those things were a bridge or a gateway to opening
(33:42):
up some of the wider development and understanding and spiritual aspect of persons, people's lives.
And, you know, when, if you're a person who's listening to broadcast and you're not sure what
to do with what's happening, reach out to Karen and tell her your story. Just start the conversation.
And she knows exactly how to handle this. And the first thing to do is to share, just let somebody
(34:04):
else that you think, and you can trust and you can, we'll talk and understand and empathize with
your kind of experience. Walk you on the journey, because we don't do this alone. And Karen mentioned
hope, you know, that's the kind of hope that you can rely on. Oftentimes when we build these kinds
of relationships with psychics and mediums, they can be very rewarding because they're genuine,
(34:28):
you know what I mean? And we honor, Karen and I both honor these types of childhood experiences,
good and bad, the dark and the white. So Karen, thank you so much for talking about those childhood
experiences. Another aspect I'd like to go on to, to segue a bit, is something we talked about
(34:50):
earlier in your bio. And it struck me as a word that's seldom used these days. And it's
an attribute, a virtue, a gift, and something you possess. It's called compassion. And
we don't find a lot of compassion sometimes in this industry. You know, we see it's a sort of
(35:11):
a quick fix, give me the information, give me the insights, tell me how, you know, our entertainment
factor, you know, and we don't get the connection, a personal connection. I think that's something
that's very, very valuable and that you possess. And you said you'd give it away for free, your own
words, you just said it, I just give it away for free. And that's because you're just a kid, you
(35:33):
give it away for free. And that's because you just exude love. If you get to know Karen as I do, she
is a warmth, a light, and she shares that. And it doesn't take long to, you know, really be
influenced by her positivity. And so, you know, I think one of that maybe comes from your nursing,
(35:56):
20 years of nursing, you know, you see the good, you see the bad.
You know, and that's true. And then I'll also add to it, part of the reason of going into nursing
is because, you know, nurses get to use their intuition, right? And that was one of the things
that I was looking for as a career to like, what can I use this with? And no one's gonna,
(36:23):
I mean, when you say bring the code card, let's park it outside someone's room.
Because, you know, sure enough, we need that code card now in here. So it's, it was like, oh,
well, I've, you know, I'll watch the monitor, whatever you can, you can find your balance,
whatever, if you need to, you don't, because, you know, that was just one of those little things
(36:46):
about nursing, that you could bring your intuition. And that was something that I actually led with
when I went in and I started looking for what can I do? Because I also, and this may just come as
part of just people, but there's a part of me that wants to be able to help other people.
And there's a certain healing as well interest in me. And that was my outlet when I was picking
(37:11):
up another career life, going, this is something that I can make a contribution to, learn, deal
with people. And it is you connect with. So that was my part of going into nursing as well, is that
you could bring a little bit, that in, you know, a little bit into your pocket and say, okay, I can
put this to use if I feel something going on or, you know, connect with even family members in the
(37:37):
fact that, you know, they're in a scary situation. The person they love is laying it on bed and they're
helpless. Well, nobody's helpless. We all gratefully have that ability within us. We are resilient in
our ways. And I always like to say that none of us is defenseless. So, you know, use that as well.
(38:04):
Because sometimes we need that uplift, that empowerment. Anyway, so that is part of where
that, some of that compassion came from. But it's also just for people. And we're all in this together.
We're, you know, we're all on this planet floating in space, right? We're all in this together,
(38:24):
like it or not. So. Sure. Yeah. And that's one of the added benefits of doing this kind of work,
being a light worker. And you just described it perfectly. You know, you get the fulfillment
of being able to allow people to be their best selves, best version of themselves. Cliche. And
but also it's self-fulfilling, isn't it? When people can, when you can provide something
(38:49):
and they grow from it and they feel empowered and feel enabled. And then, yeah, yeah. And it's a
great feeling when you do this kind of work, when you read someone, you say, you know, you've got
the answer within you and you've got the ability, you just need to go in this direction. And so they
need that little nudge. And, you know, Karen, it sounds to me like you've had a long, long history,
(39:14):
very long, expansive background of working with spirit, you know, listening, feeling, working and
motivated, you know, being motivated, self-motivated, but also allowing in your healing,
you mentioned, spirit to sort of guide you and that intuition of knowing how to render care,
you know. And that's what I meant by the unique piece of it, because you could put most psychic
(39:41):
mediums in your shoes, you know, the nursing cap and stuff, and we would not know what, you know,
how to best render. But it's wonderful that's in your tool belt, this intuitive piece where you can
assist patients and they just have family as well. So, yeah, it gives a soft, soft shoulder, you know,
(40:01):
people go to. So I just want to just step back for a second. Prior to the broadcast, Karen doesn't
know I was going to talk about this, prior to the broadcast, I always pull a card. I pull a card.
And I'm not going to tell you what the card is, because we're going to continue the discussion
for a minute. But I just want to remind our listeners we're speaking to and interviewing
(40:24):
and talking with Karen Mateus today. She's a professional psychic and medium and energy
director. And we're talking about childhood experiences that relate to psychic and mediums
and especially psychic protection. And we're discussing some of those attributes of compassion
and empathy. But also we're going to go into talking about something we both discovered
(40:49):
recently. And that's some movie we talked about. I shared with Karen the name of the movie is A Ghost
Story. Because it had influenced me and there were aspects of this movie that I thought Karen would
enjoy. And so she had an opportunity to watch it. And before the broadcast today, we got a little
(41:10):
sidebar. We talked about different things that we enjoyed about the movie and we harvested lots and
lots of different psychic pieces. Because there's a plethora. So if you're not familiar with the
movie, it's called A Ghost Story. And it's well worth a watch. And Karen and I were talking about
one particular aspect of it. And we rolled the scene through today's broadcast. And it's
(41:37):
unwelcome. Sometimes these things that come to us are unexpected and a little bit unwelcome. And
we need to set boundaries. We have what we call guides and spirit guides. And it could be archangels
or someone on the other side who looks out. But we also have what we describe as a gatekeeper
who kind of looks out to make sure that folks don't get through. We put up protections, like
(41:58):
psychic protections and stuff. And so Karen and I were talking about that as an aspect of
a dimension of this particular movie. And Karen, do you want to just talk about that for a few
minutes about the movie?
I can talk about the movie, yes. Well, I mean, after you watch this movie, because first of all,
(42:21):
I don't like necessarily scary movies. And it's not a scary movie, but I am still thinking about
this movie. Because the way it's done is something like you can get the names of the characters,
or maybe there is, I mean, I just missed it. I don't know. But the thing is, is that it's
(42:42):
open enough to the fact that it invites your own belief system on what's going on and what's
happening through it. And how you would inject your own belief system actually into this movie.
Because I've gone back and thought about it and thought about it. That was a this. And
you know, there's parts, I don't want to give spoiler alerts, you know, away type of thing,
(43:06):
if you want to watch the movie. But as you're going through and just watching the ghost,
now as a ghost now lived through some of these experiences, realizing that there were tender
moments for the ghost, but also moments where they exhibited maybe some anger,
smash the dish or two. But people are people. We are people, right? We didn't change when we
(43:36):
dropped off the physical shell. We still have moments of maybe we're going to be frustrated
and anger. But also moments of tender thought when you're observing and just
in that beautiful state and also call it that bliss is part of life. But going through and
(43:57):
watching that movie and just saying, okay, I'm here now with them. And I'm watching this now,
this talk about a loop that comes through. And I don't want to give it up to the total thing,
but I'm still sitting here with that question in my mind, which I won't say out loud, because I
want you to be able to watch the movie and say, wow, I think I've had moments like that when
(44:22):
the light flickers and it comes with an audio too, the little tinglings when you see some
lights floating through and go, okay, I know I'm seeing something, but I don't know how to label
it, but I know it's something. So there's many of those through this movie that I just went, oh,
I've seen that. That's a thing. Oh.
(44:47):
Right. Yeah, that. Yeah, absolutely. So I recommended the movie to Karen because I knew
that she'd enjoy it because it has so many mystical, spiritual and psychic under tunnels.
There's so much there. I've watched about 10 times as I said before, and I always see
(45:11):
managed to get something, some little piece of it, but it has for the person who's interested in
ghosts and things, it has the technical paranormal piece that's very entertaining and that's very
sustainable. Like you said, not a spoiler alert, but there's this fluidity of time that Karen had
(45:32):
mentioned before. And the way they depict the fluidity of time is brilliant. It's masterful
and very artistic. And so again, we don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it. So,
but if you'd like to discuss the movie or your child experience or both or anything that we
(45:54):
discussed today, please reach out to Karen. It's karensclarity.com is the website and you can learn
more about her and you can email her at karensclarity.gmail.com and let her know what you thought
of the movie or you saw it or have a look. And then I mentioned to Karen that I became aware
after I became a fan that there was a fan base in New York City and this is pre-pandemic and they
(46:20):
were meeting once a week, I understood. Maybe, yes, it was once a week on an evening to just talk,
just visit, share and to fan over the different aspects. And I can totally see why. There's just
so much there to chew on and there's lots of stuff to harvest. It's part philosophical,
(46:42):
right Karen? It's part religious. Absolutely. Because it's based on, you have to use your own
belief system to fill in what they've given you. And that's kind of like in these movies and you
keep thinking about so whoever thought of this and directed it, produced it, had that and must
(47:03):
have had that in mind because it's very thought-provoking and that's what it's about.
It makes you think about it and use your own belief system to go through this movie.
There's so much to appreciate in the movies. Well, there's so much to appreciate but it would be fun
to talk to other people about through their perspective because I only have my perspective,
(47:26):
my belief system, what I've learned so far from the spirit world, disembodied voices and whatever
else that I've had in my experiences and that's made up my belief system but then I don't know
what anybody else has and what they've gone through and you'll see it from your perspective.
Yeah, right. See folks, see what I'm talking about? It takes a master to bring up these aspects.
(47:53):
Yeah, that's wisdom. You can only get it here in the Psychic Pete Live online broadcast. Karen,
thank you. It's been an absolute delight to have you in the program. I know my guests are going to
be wondering like how did she get so smart? How'd she learn all this stuff? And I wish I knew
what she knows and I wish I could learn too and guess what folks, here's the good news.
(48:15):
Karen's a teacher. She can show you how to do this stuff safely and if you've enjoyed listening to
the broadcast today and you want to know more about learning how to do this yourself, you can
learn it at home. It's online. There's information on Karen's website, karensclarity.com where you
(48:36):
can visit and find out about how to take psychic development classes. That's if you want to learn
more about the stuff we talked about, some of the lingo. It's a very, very comprehensive, complete
and robust program. It's well worth your time and it's very fulfilling. If you've got the
(49:00):
interest in this and you think this is something you'd like to pursue, by all means reach out to
Karen and let her know. You'd like to take the journey to discover more about what your
gifts and your abilities might be and she'll help you. She'll help you discover whatever there
might be for you. And like I think she mentioned before, there's something for everyone
(49:23):
because we all have these abilities and sometimes they just need developing.
Karen, it's been wonderful having you on the program today. I'm going to hopefully you'll
come back another time. Absolutely. And thank you, Pete for having me and asking me and I
appreciate it. It's always fun to talk to you so we can always just keep going.
(49:46):
You're very generous with your time and I'm grateful for it. So before we say goodbye,
I'm going to tell you what the card that I pulled said.
Okay. Just because this is what we do. ....We pull cards.
(50:06):
Anyway, the card is a central theme to everything that we've been talking about and that was when
Karen mentioned that, you know, stuff visited her unsolicited. And so the card has one word at the
bottom and it says territory. That's the theme. I think that was the theme of today's when we
(50:28):
exercise our, when we shine our light and when we do what we do, other things, other entities can
see this light and sometimes they're attracted to it. They want to come nearby, right? And
engage, but it might be unwelcome. So psychic protection is all about being safe and keeping
(50:50):
the boundaries, maintaining the territory. So that's your side by side. We got to schedule
the visit, okay? Just don't pop in any time. Exactly. Yeah, right. Although, you know,
sometimes we don't have control over it. Anyway, territory and it's from the Urban Crow. Shout out
(51:14):
to Urban Crow, Oracle Deck, which is one of my favorites. It only has usually a single word,
which is enough for me. Less is more in my case. And it's by M.J. Cullinane and beautifully
depicted. We have a bunch of crows up in the sky flying around, having a great time. But there's a
(51:36):
line that goes right through the card and it separates one side from the other. And it's a
healthy separation. You know, it's a bunk bed kind of thing. It helps keep the peace, but also,
you know, maintains a nice, helpful, helpful instance. Right. So again, thank you so much for
(52:06):
joining us today on the broadcast. We've been talking to Carrie Mateus, professional psychic
medium and energy director. So there's all that. And we're going to invite her again to come back
on the broadcast to talk about part two and more fascinating things about aspects about psychics
and mediums and... Certified spiritual advisor is what I've got. I've been certified for that,
(52:29):
DeLisa Williams. I see. Yeah. Okay. It's on my website. Yeah. That's a good thing. That's a good
thing to remember. And again, that's not an easy achievement, is it? That's a lot of
marks, but it tears right there. You know? Yeah. These things, folks, are hard earned. And anyway,
(52:50):
thank you so much, Karen, for coming on. We're going to wrap it up today and we look forward to
the next time. And we're going to save some more for next time. But if you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to reach out to Karen, karensclarity.com. And again, thank you all for
joining us. It's been great having you on the broadcast today and take care, everyone. Peace.
Hello and welcome everyone. And this is Pete, Psychic Pete. And welcome to
(00:06):
today's broadcast. I'm very excited about today because we have a very special guest
coming on the broadcast today. Her name is Karen Matteis. And Karen is a professional and
compassionate psychic medium and energy director among many things. Karen has a very diverse and
(00:26):
very interesting background. She's been a nurse. She is a nurse. And we're going to get to know a
little bit more about Karen during the broadcast. And she's going to share with us who she is and
what she does. And probably the best way to start to introduce Karen is to explain how I know her.
Karen is a colleague. She's also a friend, a classmate, and a co-teacher in the Anastasia
(00:52):
system. I met Karen about five or six years ago, I think. And my life's never been the same.
Karen and I have experienced many, many things together. Lots of learning opportunities we've
shared. And so I'd like to welcome Karen to the broadcast today. Karen, welcome and thanks so much
(01:15):
for coming on. Thank you, Peter, for having me. I appreciate being here and your interest. So
we always have fun talking and that's pretty much how it's going to go.
Well, you're in a safe place. Pardon me, safe space because as folks who are listening to the
(01:36):
broadcast know, it's a community of people just like us who are interested in topics related to
psychics and mediums. And all the questions are good questions. And we have a diverse
listenership here. People come in who are wannabes and just learning and starting off. And other
people have been our seasoned veterans have been doing this for quite a while. And as a way of
(02:00):
introducing you, would you mind if I just read your bio a little bit and then... So Karen writes,
at a young age, she was seeing and communicating with spirit people. And she also discovered she
was empathic and could tune into other people's emotions and their family situations and some of
their future events. Karen found herself attracted to helping and comforting people in their time of
(02:25):
need. For the past 20 years, Karen has had a successful career as a registered nurse. And now
she is a certified special advisor through the Lisa Williams International School of Spiritual
Development, specializing in psychic mediumship and spiritual healing. Further, if that's not
(02:46):
enough, that's pretty impressive, right? Karen delivers clear, concise and meaningful messages
in a powerful and compassionate manner. Her intent is to help inspire, empower and bring energy,
healing and clarity to both client and spirit. And that's a wonderful bio to... And...
(03:09):
Thank you. Yeah, yeah. It's inspiring and makes you very accessible, but also, you know, there's a
lot of hard work, a lot of time, hard work, blood, sweat and tears that goes into all this development,
isn't it? And that's what it is, development. So it's continued. So I continue taking classes, keep
(03:30):
learning, keep learning, each reading, there's something to be learned. Yeah. Yeah. At any age,
right? We can start this, you know, in the middle or towards the end, even if you're interested in
doing this. Yeah. Wherever it takes you, it's spirit led. So I'm... And I also, and I know all of us,
(03:54):
should say all of us, but all of us who've had experiences with spirits, especially as children
and trying to explain that. And in my era, growing up, it wasn't necessarily an acceptable event to
be talking about. So I know a lot of people who we've had to kind of keep that in our own personal
closet. And then as the years have gone by, we've been able to develop that and bring it out and
(04:19):
not worry so much about being judged. Yeah. Yeah. Karen, that's an amazing point. And thanks for
bringing it up. Because the purpose of the broadcast and the whole radio station really is to
enlighten people, make them feel comfortable talking about these kinds of topics and
allowing ourselves to freely discuss them and enjoy them together and share amongst ourselves
(04:44):
and the listeners. And I think, like you mentioned, people derive a lot of information and also come
from, like you mentioned in your bio, from hearing about these topics. And it sort of takes some of
the scariness and the mystery out of it. Because as you know, having studied, it's empirical stuff,
(05:05):
it's spiritual and it's scientific and it all kind of blends together. And it takes special people
like yourself who connect with people naturally to make it accessible for them. So that's one of the
reasons I'm so excited you were willing to come on the broadcast. You're a perfect fit for us.
So before I get too far ahead of myself, I know my guests are going to want to be able to find you
(05:29):
online. So your website is karensclarity.com. That's our one word, karensclarity.com. And if
folks would like to email you, the email address we have is karensclarity@ gmail.com.
karensclarity at gmail.com. And I'll mention that a few more times through the broadcasts,
(05:51):
so that we have a chance to let people reach out to you if they have questions or would like to.
So yeah, before I give you a chance to talk, I thought I'd tell folks how we know one another.
We're colleagues, we're both friends, classmates, and we're co-teachers in the Anastasi system.
(06:15):
Let's let us down a path. We sort of shared this journey of discovery together and met some
people and some combined experience with the other teachers and students. And it's been a marvelous
experience, I think. And Karen has a natural way of being a very, very helpful friend and very
(06:38):
supportive. She's naturally empathic. So anyway, you had mentioned, and I want to get to what you'd
like to talk about, is something we had discussed before about childhood experiences. So if you're
listening to this broadcast and you've had some childhood experiences, maybe some mystical
experiences or some unexplained encounters, maybe with maybe a spirit or some energy or something
(07:04):
like, that's what we'll be diving in to talk to Karen about because she's had some rather interesting
and unique experiences we're going to ask her to talk about. And I've recently found that this is
a thing, Karen. I've discovered that many people like yourself have had a history and have a
background in their childhood of having these sort of unusual kinds of things. And they carried it
(07:29):
through like you have through adulthood and put the pieces together. They've had the opportunity
after having talked to some people and thought about it and did some research and study that those
things are meaningful and had some significance. Would you mind telling us about some of your
childhood experiences? Absolutely. Absolutely. So there's a couple of different aspects here.
(07:57):
One of my early memories was having this voice in my head explain to me what was going on or
maybe what this emotion was that I was feeling. And it wasn't until the age of nine
did I realize that this voice that I talked with that would share its wisdoms and direct me in
(08:17):
things was a separate energy. So that was my first moment of awareness that it was not me talking to
me. This is something else. But as a child, I remember the first time it spoke up and this
is when I first had that first memory of it speaking up to me when I was handed a marshmallow and
(08:39):
ice cream cone. And I looked at that. That's not what I was expecting. And it popped up and said,
the emotion you're feeling is called disappointment. Stared at it. It's like, well, in my mind,
this is still not okay. I don't like marshmallows. So it basically said just say thank you,
(08:59):
it'll be okay. And I said, all right. I said thank you. And I just walked up and moved this
cone like I didn't want it. But that was the first, I guess, maybe memory that I can go back to and
say, nope, I remember it saying it labeled the emotion I was feeling. Told me it was going to
be okay. It didn't matter. It was all right. But this was that experience. And there's other ones
like that. So I'm not sure how diverse to go about this. But also in that time frame, I used to see
(09:27):
people in my room, they would be staring at me and I would stare back at them. And then, you know,
I would watch them as I go to sleep. I was, you know, that was whatever. And there was one night
where I had a babysitter over and I was under the age of three because my brother had not yet arrived.
(09:50):
And I had watched Casper the Friendly Ghost, I think for the first time. And anyway, whatever
happened with this babysitter explaining to me that the people in my room are not the ghosts or
whatever. And this is when I all of a sudden came to mind that there are ghosts in my room.
Started a whole new thing of fear factor for myself. I feel for my mother who had to be called
(10:14):
home from a cocktail party because I was inconsolable about the ghosts in my room.
And that kind of started off this whole thing of where there were certain things that were
acceptable to bring up in front of people and certain things that were not. And the people in
my room were not necessarily a welcome conversation topic, as well as when I would get an impression
(10:40):
and I would just say whatever. And I don't always know in this house what happens in psychic greetings.
I may be mentioning something even as an example recently, I'm kind of like the sunflowers. And,
you know, all of a sudden realizing the person that's across me is saying,
yeah, but the sunflowers mean a big thing to me. I'm thinking, oh, okay, great. You know,
(11:03):
but those are the things that you get in psychics that you don't even know what's coming out of your
mouth is significant to somebody else because, however, we're picking it up, you know, we're
sharing it with them. So as childhood, going back to my childhood experiences,
and I've had many of them, I mean, from my guiding voice, I mean, I can go through all these different
(11:28):
stories. I'm not sure if that's what everybody was interested in hearing. But I've had many of them,
including my one, something that made such an impact on me was when I was getting a timeout,
all right, supposed to face the wall. And I was angry about it, face the wall, wait for, you know,
it was like five minutes, whatever it might have been, but it's a lifetime to me. And that
(11:53):
little voice piped up and said, well, wait, be calm, take a, you know, this is how it's done here,
that your most precious thing to you is time. And people here, you know, will try to take your time.
So don't let them take your time. You're sitting here facing the wall, let's use this time.
(12:18):
And he said, you know, he wants you to think about what you did. So we can think about it.
And that was my first notion really of how there was a value to time. And realizing,
because when my dad came back in, I wasn't really done to go back out and play. I was still in this
conversation. And I remember this is one of those bigger lonely moments for myself of the value of
(12:44):
time. That is mine. That's my commodity. So I've always protected my time now. But those are the
snippets of guidance I received from him to call my guiding voice. You know, it didn't actually
tell me per se, you know, what to do. It would give me information on things that I
didn't know anything about. It still does pipe up. Because there are moments where I'm blank
(13:10):
faced staring off going, I mean, I feel like I should know what's going on. But right now I don't.
Maybe it's a world matter. Maybe it's something in the grocery store. Well, then it's like,
this is what's happening. Thank you. And go about my day. And I'm happy to keep going through all my
childhood experiences. I'm not sure if that's going to be of interest to anybody else besides myself.
(13:34):
But it's fun to go back through those moments where I mean, I can bring up the mental picture
of these, this man and woman in my bedroom as I would go to sleep at night. And I still wonder,
I said, were these somebody I, I would have known, are these birth parents,
(13:56):
are these just visitors, or are they just looking for somebody to deliver a message to their loved
ones? And I was the closest thing around. So they were hanging out in my room. So I didn't think of
them. I was just people there. And I was watching them and they were watching me. So, and I remember
how they were dressed, what they looked like. I could pick them out in the crowd. Because that's
(14:22):
one of those moments that just watching them go, what are they doing? Anyway, I hope that started
at least part of that conversation of childhood experiences. Yeah. Because I think we've all had
some and, but seeing things that other people don't see, or even noticing things that other
(14:42):
people don't notice. Right, right, right. Absolutely. Absolutely.
I find this absolutely fascinating. And thank you for sharing that so far.
Oh, I can keep on going.
Yeah. And I'll tell you why. Because again, we mentioned before the book has a little of the top,
(15:04):
that, and this will be the topic of my new book, Childhood Experiences Shared Amongst People. And
you said, you feel like it's a common thing. And I'm trying to do that. I'm trying to ask people who
come and people I meet about any childhood experiences I have. And you're fitting into that
perfectly, because you're saying things that is a common thread. You're interacting with them.
(15:28):
And it feels very natural. And you sort of communicate with them in a way that, you know,
just they're there, they're present, and you're able to distinguish them or see where they are.
And you know, the thing is, we're very, quite remarkable. And it's another thing, attribute,
that's all people who talk about these, is you're able to remember distinctly and succinctly,
(15:49):
what was going on, what happened, because it leaves such an impression for you.
And of course, you weren't traumatized. I mean, you're alerted. Your emotions are aroused,
but you're not necessarily, and in the exception of the party where you said you were in a,
mom had to come home from the cocktail party. You know, it became more natural. It's like, okay,
(16:12):
here we go again. There they are. All right, people. And, you know, it's like a variation
of the theme after that, isn't it? It is. It is. Yeah. No, I've,
the things I have, I mean, some people call it clairvoyance, you know, it's that when you see
things with your third eye, but there are also things that we see with our actual eyeballs.
(16:34):
Mm-hmm. Because, you know, I, growing up, my children have also witnessed, you know,
beings come through the house. Their friends have much, we,
okay, a little shame to this, but we always try to carry mums the words necessarily. So they
(16:57):
didn't go home and tell their parents about things, you know, but you can't hang out with me or be in
the house without picking up on some of it. It's just part of the makeup. I'm also saying,
but going back to childhood experiences, because that's part of it. When you can read somebody else,
(17:20):
though you don't, not trying to, it's just that
your thoughts are picked up on, your intentions, or just watching somebody and saying, oh, wait a
minute, this is coming next. Why I know this, I don't know. I don't know what I, I don't know
(17:40):
that I know, but I know. Mm-hmm. Sure. You mentioned nine years old, you mentioned that experience,
and that's, would you say that was when the awareness became, your awareness opened up or
you were sort of like, oh, I see. And would that be the right time? That was when I became aware
(18:02):
that the voice that I spoke with in my head was a separate energy from myself. I see. I'm going to
go ahead and open up, I'm just going to share you detailed what the story was that was happening.
I was playing with my Barbie dolls, and my one Barbie was telling the other Barbie what my father
had told me recently, because he was an atheist. And repeating what the doll said to the other one
(18:27):
was the fact that there's no such thing as God. This is something that people make up because
they're afraid to die. Because when we die, it's over, nothing. Why? Now, I knew whatever it was,
I knew better than that. And it didn't, I mean, it didn't appraise me, but the voice says, Karen,
(18:52):
what if, what if you're incorrect? What if you're wrong?
And there is a God.
And the rest of the world is right, there's a God. And that was a moment that I was like, huh.
But that's where I realized, hold, stop, lost this message for 20 years,
(19:20):
but dropped my Barbie dolls and got up and left my room. Because that's when I realized
there was another voice within me talking, somebody else had outside knowledge. And
which was kind of sad to me, because when I went back and revisited, I said, wait, that's right,
there's my absolute proof that there's a, I mean, the voice that never lied to me before,
(19:41):
there is a God. And that sounds kind of goofy, but I lost the actual message to that.
You know, whether, however, whatever you want to label this source being here, whatever,
that's what I was given as information. But that was when I realized that truly there was something
because I was in conflict with how my parents were, that I was in conflict with everything else I
(20:03):
had been taught to that moment. And then I can give one more step further, is that a year later,
age of 10, is my first experience with I'm going to put air clothes around the dark side
when I had a entity come into my room.
Threatened me basically was saying it wanted my air code again powers.
(20:27):
Didn't know what you're talking about, but it did say, you know, I know what you're afraid of.
You're afraid of the dark and turned off my nightlight and you're afraid of being trapped
and it closed my door. And I won't keep going on for the rest of the conversation part of that,
but I'm afraid of the dark. And I'm afraid of the dark. And I'm afraid of the dark. And I'm afraid
(20:48):
for the rest of the conversations part of that. But I was paralyzed with fear literally.
All the time in my life I ever went under my covers because I didn't know what to do,
because I was trapped, waited, waited and waited until finally light the sunlight came up through
my window and I came out from under the covers to find my light was turned off and my door was closed.
(21:15):
And my parents long knew I was afraid of the dark, long knew don't trap me in my room,
I have to make an exit. So that was those standard things. But in that time, I never,
I didn't know really there was a light and dark, I know it sounds kind of stupid, but
(21:36):
I'd never had that awareness. I ran, I told every friend I was, I was in fifth grade,
I told everybody what had happened, because I was, I was sure I was going to be God, you know,
and so everybody knew. Bless my parents, everybody got to know about this. So and that was, I guess,
(21:58):
my first experience with, okay, wait, powers, what are we talking about? There's one.
And two, I didn't want them to get me. And that sounds also weird. So that also started this whole
my, my trail of trying to find ways to protect myself. And that has been ongoing, because I
(22:21):
realize that people that will, you know, whatever they're doing in their life, they will never
come across the dark side. That just isn't going to be in their their thing. It's not.
A lot of people don't even believe that there's a dark side. I'm not sure why I'm going down this
rabbit hole. But, but there is. And that's when I got my parents to take me to a church, because
(22:46):
I was like, I need protection, I need to find out I need to be able to protect myself. So
bless them, they brought me to a church, but that's not where it was at. And I knew it was
I was going there. It's like, oh, you're looking at me like I am a giant bug. I know you don't
understand. You don't understand. This is what I need. I know what I need. I need help. This is
(23:10):
this. You've got problems, kid. That's not how it works. That's like, oh, yes, it is. Yes, I know
this much. So that didn't didn't last long in my my agenda of life. But it did start this this
on this road of making sure that I did what I could do to protect myself at that time.
(23:36):
There wasn't a lot of books for saying, okay, what I had access to, to and I'm not sure I would have
read them anyway. But you would hear things, okay, put yourself in a white light. Got it. Got the
white light. Got the white light. I understand now too that the white light, you know, is,
(23:59):
you know, can be just run right over. However, he gave me peace until I had never, you know,
another incident or whatever. It's has always put me on that quest. So I continued to look for those
type of things for protection, which is actually what led me to Sandy and Stacey, right, who we had
(24:19):
met earlier because she way back, you know, as time progressed and we got on to the fact we had now
internet and everybody had a home computer. And then there's this beautiful thing called YouTube,
which will show you how to do plumbing and all these other things online. Right. But also there
was Sandy who had these snippets of, you know, little things on there for psychic protection.
(24:42):
You know, I think she was the greatest person in the world. So I know I'm going down my own
rabbit hole, but this is just one of those things in life that I don't know that people are aware of
and I'm sure that other people have had similar encounters where there was something scary, but
they had nothing to help them with. You know, I'm not trying to do an advertisement here, but there
(25:08):
are, there are things out there that you can learn to do to help protect yourself. I wish there was,
Peter and I had this conversation earlier today. We kind of wish there was an absolute total
protection, something. Haven't found it yet. Still looking. However, there is a whole diverse amount
(25:29):
of things you can do to help protect yourself and seal yourself up from, I'm going to call some
negative influence. I'm probably going to need time here.
Thank you, Karen. Thank you so much. That's a beautiful, for sharing that beautiful story.
It's very, very personal, very, very intimate and it's not wasted on the listeners whatsoever.
(25:52):
Cause I think it's, it's very heartfelt. And also to make that, to make, to find a point on,
if you, if you've had, if you're listening to this broadcast and you've shared things similar
to what Karen's described in your childhood, or if you know, some children are going through this
right now. I think that Karen's messages of hope, because there is, this is not unusual.
(26:17):
As we sort of pointed out, these things sort of happen organically, naturally, and there's a way
to address it safely. Right. And I love, I'm just going to frame Karen's experience in this way.
She was fifth grade and there was a sixth. And she came out, she sort of went to people and said,
look, this is what's going on. And she knew instinctively to do spiritually, instinctively
(26:44):
to seek safety, to find something that was going to protect her protection, basically as right,
right. Karen about safety, about making sure that you're harming yourself or allowing anything to
do any harm to you. Right. Yeah. Well, I knew I needed to find a way to protect him because that
(27:05):
was scary. Sure. I didn't have, I mean, some people, you know, they grew up going to church,
they grew up with something. Okay. You're before I was told, Hey, there is, there is a guy now.
Okay. That's why I was like, all right, I know this is real, we're going here. And then it was
(27:26):
like, nah, this church necessarily for me. But there are other avenues out there and there is,
there's a lot out there available that offers us protection. And there is whatever your belief is,
whether you call it source or Buddha or God, whatever, there is a something so much more than
(27:49):
we are that we are a spark of, you know, there's that, there's that piece of us, we are a spark of
the divine. That's my belief. Yeah. You know, which, yeah, I put my hands up in the air, kind
of going, it's like, you know, I led myself to here. So what am I going with? Right. But as far as,
(28:10):
you know, there's always hope. We have our own team. We have a spirit team, which I have, I have met.
I have, have met both of them that, you know, that, that mental reality we have going on,
or like, you know, we do mental mediumship, the spirituality to have that manifest in front of me
(28:31):
to have stepped up to protect me. So. Sure. Sure. And before we get too far ahead of ourselves,
I want to make sure today folks were talking with professional psychic and medium and energy director,
Karen Mateus. And Karen is talking to us today about her childhood experiences and sharing some of
(28:54):
the very unique things that have occurred to her and sharing that journey with us. And if you have
questions for Karen, if you'd like to reach out to her, her email address is karensclarity.gmail.com.
That's all one word. Karen'sclarity.gmail.com. And she welcomes you to reach out and, you know,
(29:17):
share an experience that you might have, you know, had, or if you have any questions, if you'd like to
just compare notes, have a chat about that, you know, and explore. And what Karen's described here
is that this has been a path. It's been a rather securitas path for her development. So it began
when she was young and she continued it, seeking, seeking psychic protections. And then, you know,
(29:41):
here she is a guest on the show telling us about, and so if you're a person and I know they're out
there, I know they're out there, Karen, who don't believe they need any psychic protection, you know,
we're living proof, you and I, because, you know, it is real. And I often say here on the broadcast
that we can't deny anyone their own experience. And so it's an old fashioned kind of
(30:07):
prome of wisdom. And I predict, here's a prediction, for future oriented, that you and I are going to try
to develop a psychic protection that's a coverall for everything, and to keep everything off. And
then we'll go on Shark Tank and we'll make millions of dollars. I would find it, I would give it away.
(30:29):
And, you know, and that said, though, there are people that, you know, it will never, they'll
never encounter it. And they can always dispute that and say, no, that's not a thing. And it's
good for them. And I mean that sincerely, because it wasn't supposed to be part of their experience.
Right, right. And I applaud and I'm a little bit envious, but, you know, I'm glad for them.
(30:55):
Yeah, yeah. There is a part of me that also wonders sometimes, was it just some masterminded
something just to let me know that, hey, kid, there's other things you can do outside of what
you're doing. Sure. Yeah. And that brings us to a fascinating question also. Do we welcome these
things in? Do we just someday just psychically trip over something when we're doing a reading
(31:17):
for somebody or when we're opened up and we didn't protect? It always opens up all these
sorts of questions about how and when and why does this happen to us? And it can scare some people
really away from looking at these sort of spiritual gifts and abilities. And we've
encountered those types of people in the classes and, you know, our classmates. Some people would
(31:40):
come in to learn like you to make sure they feel protected, but also to control it, you know,
any abilities they have. So these things are unwelcome and unharnessed. But also people like
me that just want to learn more about it and develop it and sort of see how do we, because
I'm a control freak, so how do I control it? I'll be sure to turn that off. Yeah. Right. Lock it down
(32:04):
if you can. So again, a fascinating topic of discussion. And, you know, when we talk about
childhood and we talk about these spiritual encounters, they're unusual, aren't they? It
(32:26):
feels a little like what? Because children don't often have the vocabulary or the technical
language to describe, but in a simplistic way, what I've noticed is, and I've been doing quite
a bit of, you know, personal research, just reading the autobiographies of people and talking about
these childhood experiences. And as I mentioned before, there seems to be a common thread that
(32:50):
they've had these early childhood experiences that are very profound and have a lasting effect.
And, but also created this opening or this awareness that they sort of grew from. But it pauses me to
wonder, to pause and think about, I wonder how many people have had these sorts of experiences
where they suppress them. I mentioned, you mentioned that as well, where they sort of walked away in
(33:14):
fear and said, no, no, no, it's my imagination. That's not really happening. Or other people
tell us, I know Sandy Anastasi in the course that she teaches says, people are dismissive of these
kinds of things. Don't let your imagination, it doesn't happen. Just forget it. That's just,
and oftentimes it's a shame, you know, because those things were a bridge or a gateway to opening
(33:42):
up some of the wider development and understanding and spiritual aspect of persons, people's lives.
And, you know, when, if you're a person who's listening to broadcast and you're not sure what
to do with what's happening, reach out to Karen and tell her your story. Just start the conversation.
And she knows exactly how to handle this. And the first thing to do is to share, just let somebody
(34:04):
else that you think, and you can trust and you can, we'll talk and understand and empathize with
your kind of experience. Walk you on the journey, because we don't do this alone. And Karen mentioned
hope, you know, that's the kind of hope that you can rely on. Oftentimes when we build these kinds
of relationships with psychics and mediums, they can be very rewarding because they're genuine,
(34:28):
you know what I mean? And we honor, Karen and I both honor these types of childhood experiences,
good and bad, the dark and the white. So Karen, thank you so much for talking about those childhood
experiences. Another aspect I'd like to go on to, to segue a bit, is something we talked about
(34:50):
earlier in your bio. And it struck me as a word that's seldom used these days. And it's
an attribute, a virtue, a gift, and something you possess. It's called compassion. And
we don't find a lot of compassion sometimes in this industry. You know, we see it's a sort of
(35:11):
a quick fix, give me the information, give me the insights, tell me how, you know, our entertainment
factor, you know, and we don't get the connection, a personal connection. I think that's something
that's very, very valuable and that you possess. And you said you'd give it away for free, your own
words, you just said it, I just give it away for free. And that's because you're just a kid, you
(35:33):
give it away for free. And that's because you just exude love. If you get to know Karen as I do, she
is a warmth, a light, and she shares that. And it doesn't take long to, you know, really be
influenced by her positivity. And so, you know, I think one of that maybe comes from your nursing,
(35:56):
20 years of nursing, you know, you see the good, you see the bad.
You know, and that's true. And then I'll also add to it, part of the reason of going into nursing
is because, you know, nurses get to use their intuition, right? And that was one of the things
that I was looking for as a career to like, what can I use this with? And no one's gonna,
(36:23):
I mean, when you say bring the code card, let's park it outside someone's room.
Because, you know, sure enough, we need that code card now in here. So it's, it was like, oh,
well, I've, you know, I'll watch the monitor, whatever you can, you can find your balance,
whatever, if you need to, you don't, because, you know, that was just one of those little things
(36:46):
about nursing, that you could bring your intuition. And that was something that I actually led with
when I went in and I started looking for what can I do? Because I also, and this may just come as
part of just people, but there's a part of me that wants to be able to help other people.
And there's a certain healing as well interest in me. And that was my outlet when I was picking
(37:11):
up another career life, going, this is something that I can make a contribution to, learn, deal
with people. And it is you connect with. So that was my part of going into nursing as well, is that
you could bring a little bit, that in, you know, a little bit into your pocket and say, okay, I can
put this to use if I feel something going on or, you know, connect with even family members in the
(37:37):
fact that, you know, they're in a scary situation. The person they love is laying it on bed and they're
helpless. Well, nobody's helpless. We all gratefully have that ability within us. We are resilient in
our ways. And I always like to say that none of us is defenseless. So, you know, use that as well.
(38:04):
Because sometimes we need that uplift, that empowerment. Anyway, so that is part of where
that, some of that compassion came from. But it's also just for people. And we're all in this together.
We're, you know, we're all on this planet floating in space, right? We're all in this together,
(38:24):
like it or not. So. Sure. Yeah. And that's one of the added benefits of doing this kind of work,
being a light worker. And you just described it perfectly. You know, you get the fulfillment
of being able to allow people to be their best selves, best version of themselves. Cliche. And
but also it's self-fulfilling, isn't it? When people can, when you can provide something
(38:49):
and they grow from it and they feel empowered and feel enabled. And then, yeah, yeah. And it's a
great feeling when you do this kind of work, when you read someone, you say, you know, you've got
the answer within you and you've got the ability, you just need to go in this direction. And so they
need that little nudge. And, you know, Karen, it sounds to me like you've had a long, long history,
(39:14):
very long, expansive background of working with spirit, you know, listening, feeling, working and
motivated, you know, being motivated, self-motivated, but also allowing in your healing,
you mentioned, spirit to sort of guide you and that intuition of knowing how to render care,
you know. And that's what I meant by the unique piece of it, because you could put most psychic
(39:41):
mediums in your shoes, you know, the nursing cap and stuff, and we would not know what, you know,
how to best render. But it's wonderful that's in your tool belt, this intuitive piece where you can
assist patients and they just have family as well. So, yeah, it gives a soft, soft shoulder, you know,
(40:01):
people go to. So I just want to just step back for a second. Prior to the broadcast, Karen doesn't
know I was going to talk about this, prior to the broadcast, I always pull a card. I pull a card.
And I'm not going to tell you what the card is, because we're going to continue the discussion
for a minute. But I just want to remind our listeners we're speaking to and interviewing
(40:24):
and talking with Karen Mateus today. She's a professional psychic and medium and energy
director. And we're talking about childhood experiences that relate to psychic and mediums
and especially psychic protection. And we're discussing some of those attributes of compassion
and empathy. But also we're going to go into talking about something we both discovered
(40:49):
recently. And that's some movie we talked about. I shared with Karen the name of the movie is A Ghost
Story. Because it had influenced me and there were aspects of this movie that I thought Karen would
enjoy. And so she had an opportunity to watch it. And before the broadcast today, we got a little
(41:10):
sidebar. We talked about different things that we enjoyed about the movie and we harvested lots and
lots of different psychic pieces. Because there's a plethora. So if you're not familiar with the
movie, it's called A Ghost Story. And it's well worth a watch. And Karen and I were talking about
one particular aspect of it. And we rolled the scene through today's broadcast. And it's
(41:37):
unwelcome. Sometimes these things that come to us are unexpected and a little bit unwelcome. And
we need to set boundaries. We have what we call guides and spirit guides. And it could be archangels
or someone on the other side who looks out. But we also have what we describe as a gatekeeper
who kind of looks out to make sure that folks don't get through. We put up protections, like
(41:58):
psychic protections and stuff. And so Karen and I were talking about that as an aspect of
a dimension of this particular movie. And Karen, do you want to just talk about that for a few
minutes about the movie?
I can talk about the movie, yes. Well, I mean, after you watch this movie, because first of all,
(42:21):
I don't like necessarily scary movies. And it's not a scary movie, but I am still thinking about
this movie. Because the way it's done is something like you can get the names of the characters,
or maybe there is, I mean, I just missed it. I don't know. But the thing is, is that it's
(42:42):
open enough to the fact that it invites your own belief system on what's going on and what's
happening through it. And how you would inject your own belief system actually into this movie.
Because I've gone back and thought about it and thought about it. That was a this. And
you know, there's parts, I don't want to give spoiler alerts, you know, away type of thing,
(43:06):
if you want to watch the movie. But as you're going through and just watching the ghost,
now as a ghost now lived through some of these experiences, realizing that there were tender
moments for the ghost, but also moments where they exhibited maybe some anger,
smash the dish or two. But people are people. We are people, right? We didn't change when we
(43:36):
dropped off the physical shell. We still have moments of maybe we're going to be frustrated
and anger. But also moments of tender thought when you're observing and just
in that beautiful state and also call it that bliss is part of life. But going through and
(43:57):
watching that movie and just saying, okay, I'm here now with them. And I'm watching this now,
this talk about a loop that comes through. And I don't want to give it up to the total thing,
but I'm still sitting here with that question in my mind, which I won't say out loud, because I
want you to be able to watch the movie and say, wow, I think I've had moments like that when
(44:22):
the light flickers and it comes with an audio too, the little tinglings when you see some
lights floating through and go, okay, I know I'm seeing something, but I don't know how to label
it, but I know it's something. So there's many of those through this movie that I just went, oh,
I've seen that. That's a thing. Oh.
(44:47):
Right. Yeah, that. Yeah, absolutely. So I recommended the movie to Karen because I knew
that she'd enjoy it because it has so many mystical, spiritual and psychic under tunnels.
There's so much there. I've watched about 10 times as I said before, and I always see
(45:11):
managed to get something, some little piece of it, but it has for the person who's interested in
ghosts and things, it has the technical paranormal piece that's very entertaining and that's very
sustainable. Like you said, not a spoiler alert, but there's this fluidity of time that Karen had
(45:32):
mentioned before. And the way they depict the fluidity of time is brilliant. It's masterful
and very artistic. And so again, we don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it. So,
but if you'd like to discuss the movie or your child experience or both or anything that we
(45:54):
discussed today, please reach out to Karen. It's karensclarity.com is the website and you can learn
more about her and you can email her at karensclarity.gmail.com and let her know what you thought
of the movie or you saw it or have a look. And then I mentioned to Karen that I became aware
after I became a fan that there was a fan base in New York City and this is pre-pandemic and they
(46:20):
were meeting once a week, I understood. Maybe, yes, it was once a week on an evening to just talk,
just visit, share and to fan over the different aspects. And I can totally see why. There's just
so much there to chew on and there's lots of stuff to harvest. It's part philosophical,
(46:42):
right Karen? It's part religious. Absolutely. Because it's based on, you have to use your own
belief system to fill in what they've given you. And that's kind of like in these movies and you
keep thinking about so whoever thought of this and directed it, produced it, had that and must
(47:03):
have had that in mind because it's very thought-provoking and that's what it's about.
It makes you think about it and use your own belief system to go through this movie.
There's so much to appreciate in the movies. Well, there's so much to appreciate but it would be fun
to talk to other people about through their perspective because I only have my perspective,
(47:26):
my belief system, what I've learned so far from the spirit world, disembodied voices and whatever
else that I've had in my experiences and that's made up my belief system but then I don't know
what anybody else has and what they've gone through and you'll see it from your perspective.
Yeah, right. See folks, see what I'm talking about? It takes a master to bring up these aspects.
(47:53):
Yeah, that's wisdom. You can only get it here in the Psychic Pete Live online broadcast. Karen,
thank you. It's been an absolute delight to have you in the program. I know my guests are going to
be wondering like how did she get so smart? How'd she learn all this stuff? And I wish I knew
what she knows and I wish I could learn too and guess what folks, here's the good news.
(48:15):
Karen's a teacher. She can show you how to do this stuff safely and if you've enjoyed listening to
the broadcast today and you want to know more about learning how to do this yourself, you can
learn it at home. It's online. There's information on Karen's website, karensclarity.com where you
(48:36):
can visit and find out about how to take psychic development classes. That's if you want to learn
more about the stuff we talked about, some of the lingo. It's a very, very comprehensive, complete
and robust program. It's well worth your time and it's very fulfilling. If you've got the
(49:00):
interest in this and you think this is something you'd like to pursue, by all means reach out to
Karen and let her know. You'd like to take the journey to discover more about what your
gifts and your abilities might be and she'll help you. She'll help you discover whatever there
might be for you. And like I think she mentioned before, there's something for everyone
(49:23):
because we all have these abilities and sometimes they just need developing.
Karen, it's been wonderful having you on the program today. I'm going to hopefully you'll
come back another time. Absolutely. And thank you, Pete for having me and asking me and I
appreciate it. It's always fun to talk to you so we can always just keep going.
(49:46):
You're very generous with your time and I'm grateful for it. So before we say goodbye,
I'm going to tell you what the card that I pulled said.
Okay. Just because this is what we do. ....We pull cards.
(50:06):
Anyway, the card is a central theme to everything that we've been talking about and that was when
Karen mentioned that, you know, stuff visited her unsolicited. And so the card has one word at the
bottom and it says territory. That's the theme. I think that was the theme of today's when we
(50:28):
exercise our, when we shine our light and when we do what we do, other things, other entities can
see this light and sometimes they're attracted to it. They want to come nearby, right? And
engage, but it might be unwelcome. So psychic protection is all about being safe and keeping
(50:50):
the boundaries, maintaining the territory. So that's your side by side. We got to schedule
the visit, okay? Just don't pop in any time. Exactly. Yeah, right. Although, you know,
sometimes we don't have control over it. Anyway, territory and it's from the Urban Crow. Shout out
(51:14):
to Urban Crow, Oracle Deck, which is one of my favorites. It only has usually a single word,
which is enough for me. Less is more in my case. And it's by M.J. Cullinane and beautifully
depicted. We have a bunch of crows up in the sky flying around, having a great time. But there's a
(51:36):
line that goes right through the card and it separates one side from the other. And it's a
healthy separation. You know, it's a bunk bed kind of thing. It helps keep the peace, but also,
you know, maintains a nice, helpful, helpful instance. Right. So again, thank you so much for
(52:06):
joining us today on the broadcast. We've been talking to Carrie Mateus, professional psychic
medium and energy director. So there's all that. And we're going to invite her again to come back
on the broadcast to talk about part two and more fascinating things about aspects about psychics
and mediums and... Certified spiritual advisor is what I've got. I've been certified for that,
(52:29):
DeLisa Williams. I see. Yeah. Okay. It's on my website. Yeah. That's a good thing. That's a good
thing to remember. And again, that's not an easy achievement, is it? That's a lot of
marks, but it tears right there. You know? Yeah. These things, folks, are hard earned. And anyway,
(52:50):
thank you so much, Karen, for coming on. We're going to wrap it up today and we look forward to
the next time. And we're going to save some more for next time. But if you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to reach out to Karen, karensclarity.com. And again, thank you all for
joining us. It's been great having you on the broadcast today and take care, everyone. Peace.
