My spirit guides take over the podcast in this special April Fool's Day episode, answering five thought-provoking questions in a channeled Q&A session with surprising depth and wisdom.

• Past life versions of ourselves don't judge us but act as cheerleaders with unconditional love and support
• Our biggest lessons come in early incarnations, with later lifetimes focusing on refinement
• Karma isn't vindictive punishment but a learning mechanism for soul progression
• The "pettiest" karma is denying ourselves self-love and failing to recognize our own potential
• Two types of ghosts exist: departed loved ones staying close to support us, and souls who choose to remain in Earth's vibration
• Fake psychics fall into two categories: those who genuinely believe they have gifts but lack skill, and conscious charlatans
• We must actively participate in our soul journey through concrete actions, not just intention
• The faster we work through our soul lessons, the easier our journey becomes

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello there and welcome back to empower your
soul.
I am releasing this podcast aday early on April Fool's Day,
and this is going to beinterviewing my spirit guide
team on questions that I've kindof always wondered, and it's
going to be an adventure today.
This is going to be anenergetic experiment I hope you

(00:22):
don't mind and I have a list ofwhat I think are some amazing
questions and I'm going to havethem pick the questions that
they would like to answer.
They keep telling me five's.
The limit Five is how manyquestions we're going to answer.
We will see if that's true ornot.
I'm hearing it is they're verypushy with me today, and then

(00:45):
what we're going to do is justchannel their answers and see
what happens.
All right, we're going to startwith number three and this
question is do past lifeversions of me ever judge what
I'm doing right now?
Wow, okay.
So I'm feeling.
First thing I'm feeling is justthe sense of love, and I'm

(01:07):
feeling, no, they don't judge usfor our past lives.
They don't judge us for who weare today and what we are here
to do.
So first thing I just want tosay is that our past life
versions of ourselves come froma perspective of unconditional
love, unconditional faith andsupport and almost cheerleading

(01:28):
energy, that you can do this.
You can do this.
You have no idea what you'vebeen through in the past and
it's time for you to realize howstrong you are and how you can
overcome these things.
Because to me it's veryinteresting, because I feel like
they're giving at least me thisperception of the lessons get
smaller and smaller and smaller,and I don't think they get less

(01:49):
difficult.
But I think as you start toreincarnate, you start to have
these really, really big lessonsthat you have to learn.
Like could you imagine, likethink about little kids and how
the biggest thing they have todo is learn how to walk right,
they have to learn how to movetheir hands to their mouth, like

(02:10):
.
These lessons are really bigand they're really important for
the evolution of them as humanbeings in this lifetime.
And so they're giving me thatmirror of that image to show me
that as we evolve our souls andas we reincarnate, we actually
learn the biggest, mostimpactful lessons up front, and

(02:34):
then, as we move forward intoour incarnations, the lessons
actually get smaller in impact,but it's not easier, but it's
more like tweaking the energy,if that makes sense.
So it's not that our past livesjudge us for where we are at
today, but they are actuallyapplauding us for surviving

(02:56):
everything that you've alreadybeen through as a soul and
reminding you that you have morestrength, that you know and you
have more tools in your toolbelt than you can ever imagine
to be successful on this journey.
I think they do get frustratedwhen we don't lean on the
previous versions of ourselves,the lessons that we've already
learned across several differentlifetimes, and encouraging us

(03:18):
to talk to them more, to talk toyour guides more, to leverage
metaphysical experts more, sothat we can pull out these past
lives and the strengths and thetools and these abilities that
you've already been able toovercome, because you can
actually access them all at anypoint.
That is the most frustratingpart for them is not being able

(03:39):
to help you without you askingfor the help, help you without
you asking for the help.
So keep that in mind everybody.
Keep that in mind.
Four what is the pettiest reasonsomeone ever got bad karma?

(04:00):
Let's talk about karma, shallwe?
I'm hearing them say Karma isthis idea, this vindication that
exists here in the physicalworld that, as the result of
something bad that you do, youare going to get something bad
in return.
And this is a natural thoughtfor us, because we exist in a
world where if you do bad things, bad things tend to come back

(04:22):
to you.
And when I say that, they'remaking me see in my head like
the Justice Department, courtjail, et cetera.
And it's like if you don'tfollow the rules, then there's
going to be a punishmentassociated with that.
And it's bigger than that,because it's even the unwritten
rules of, for example, corporateAmerica they're showing me.
And if you don't follow thesocial norms and expectations,

(04:43):
you get a slap on the wrist andyou get either not a good bonus,
you don't get promoted, etc.
So we are always under thisimpression that we have to be
under our best behavior, ornegative things are going to
happen to us or something isgoing to come in our way to
achieving our soul's lessons.
And I'm hearing them say thatis simply not true, because we

(05:03):
need to make bad decisions toprogress the journey of our soul
.
We need to do things wrong inorder for us to learn how to do
things right.
This is a very serious episode.
I did not expect these answersto be as serious as they were
sidebar.
So there's this reallyinteresting dynamic about yeah,

(05:32):
there's really dumb lessonseverybody learns along the way
like really dumb lessons andsome are very hard and tragic.
But there's just really petty,dumb things that we do every
single day and it doesn't haveto be this big, huge, bad
decision.
It could be like I decided notto give myself love today.

(05:54):
That is probably the pettiestkarma that we can kind of give
ourselves.
Is is not showing yourself thetrue love, the true essence of
who you are, appreciating thejourney that you've been through
Again we're kind of back to thelast question and knowing what
your strengths are, and that isthe most ridiculous of karma
because you are holding yourselfdown.
So it's not necessarily thepettiest karma, but it is this

(06:18):
most ridiculous in terms oftheir minds of how can you not
even see your own worth, yourown potential, your own heart
and how you have everythingagain within you to overcome the
obstacles in your everyday life.
And now I'm going to ask myteam really you can't even give
me anything petty.
The pettiest thing they'reshowing me is an owner.

(06:45):
They're telling me it wasn't me, but they've seen like people
who mistreat animals, like I seesome, some man, I don't know.
It looks like in in in the1800s or so, like kicking a dog,
and then that man becomes a dogin the next lifetime that gets
abused.
So, yeah, what comes aroundgoes around, because you have to

(07:09):
learn the lessons.
You do have to learn thelessons.
So if you treat somebody bad,you are inevitably going to be
the one who's experiencing thebad, so that you can learn that
lesson and not to do that againin a next lifetime.
So karma is, it is real, butit's not bad, it's just.
It's just learning the lessonsto progress our souls.

(07:29):
So don't worry about karma,because you should be making.
Karma is what I'm hearing themsay.
Um, just don't make the samekarma mistake again.
Six Are ghosts hanging aroundbecause they have FOMO or are
they judging us?
Ooh, this is a really goodquestion.

(07:51):
I'm hearing them channel to methat there's two types of ghosts
.
So one is our departed lovedones.
These are not necessarilyghosts that are stuck here.
They're not ghosts that arehere to be voyeurs, I guess, so
to speak.
These are people and souls thatwant to be around us,

(08:12):
supporting us, loving us andguiding us on our journey.
So a lot of the times they willbe around us to kind of see
what's going on, but also giveus strength and reminders again
of who we are and what we'rehere to do.
So again, these are yourenergetic cheerleaders, your
ghostly cheerleaders on theother side, your departed loved
ones.
They like to hop in and dropsigns and synchronicities to

(08:35):
bring a smile to your face, tolet you know that they're still
around you, to let you know thatthey're still supporting you on
this amazing journey in lifeand so making sure that you
don't feel that low vibrationwhen it comes to them.
Right, because they want us tostay in a higher vibration mode,
because when we're highervibration we tend to be at a

(08:57):
advantage in life, becauseenergy, our vibration, is high,
so things are more in alignment,things end up in a flow state.
So they actually stick aroundtheir departed loved ones to
make sure that we don't get intothese low vibrations because we
miss them.
So it's almost like everybodywho you might be sad about that
has moved on to the other side.
They're going to send you signsand synchronicities to bring

(09:18):
that energy up for you and tohelp you out Staying high
vibration.
So that's mainly the loved ones.
And then, in terms of the secondgroup, then, as I kind of shut
my eyes and kind of see wherethey're going to go with this,
there are those stubbornassholes that decide that they
want to stay closer to thephysical vibration.

(09:39):
They are not stuck here in thephysical world.
So don't get that in your headat all.
They are not stuck here.
We are physical beings in themiddle of the spiritual world.
So they're just like to stay inthis vibration with us, even
though we can't see them,because they are in fact energy
and they do not have a physicalbody.
So they just like being on thevibration of earth, and it

(10:02):
doesn't mean they're stuck here.
It just means they enjoyhanging out here.
Maybe they've had so many liveshere that they just don't want
to go anywhere, and that's okaytoo.
So it's not that they have FOMO, it's not that they judge us.
They make the decision for them, these souls that decide to

(10:24):
stay closer to this physicalvibration.
They make the decision to stayhere for themselves.
And now I'm in my head, I'masking them like, what about?
What about?
Like I have spirits in my house, for sure they came with my
house.
Like I have spirits in my house, for sure they came with my
house, like I definitely do andI don't.
This is my little camp that Ihave, that's in the middle of

(10:44):
the woods by a lake.
So what's with those spirits?
I'm hearing they're afraid tomove on.
So I'm hearing that they'rejust kind of looking for a place
to be in limbo for a littlewhile.
And when I say in limbo, it'slike they know the whole rest of
the spirit world exists andthey're just choosing not to

(11:06):
move towards it because they'rejust not ready yet.
They're taking that rest timefor them before they actually go
to the rest of the spiritualworld.
There's nothing wrong with that.
They can take as much time asthey need, because time does not
exist in the spirit world.
So they can sit and rest andenjoy when they need this little
spiritual vacation and thenwhen they're ready, they just

(11:26):
kind of move into the rest ofthe spirit world.
So they're just kind of bidingtheir time again stubborn, sorry
, thanks, george.
George, is my ghost Eight.
I'm hearing them say okay, ismy ghost Eight?
I'm hearing them say okay, on ascale from one to being smited.

(11:50):
Oh my gosh, how mad is theuniverse when people fake being
a psychic for money.
How mad is the universe whenyou're trying to manipulate
people with this spiritual work?
Their laugh so they're numberone making me feel super dizzy
right now, super dizzy, superlike.

(12:15):
Oh my gosh in my head I'mgetting so lightheaded right now
and I feel my throat gettingfilled with anger.
So I know that they get upsetabout these fake psychics, but
also there's this energy oflaughing at the same time and
I'm hearing do you really thinkyou can cheat the system?
So there's two perspectives.
So let's take the perspectiveof the fake psychics.

(12:37):
Some of them don't know anybetter, is what I'm hearing them
say.
So they can't really blame themtoo much.
It's just an indicator thatthese people have inner work to
do, some serious, freaking innerwork to do, because they think
they're something and they'renot something else and, honestly
, they're striving to besomething that they're not and
they're not willing to put inthe hard work and admit to

(13:00):
themselves that they're not thatgood at this.
So they continue to just createwaves, most of them of
negativity, over and over andover again, and they are
laughing about what their lifereview is going to look like
when they go on the other side,and almost all of them are so

(13:22):
ashamed of themselves and whatthey've done and the negativity
and falsehood that they'vespread.
Now, as I tune into, like thesecond batch of people, which
are the true people who knowthey're charlatans and they know
that they're just out getting aquick buck it's the same thing.
It's the same thing, but Ithink the difference is and this

(13:46):
is really interesting becauseit feels like the energy behind
these fake psychic readings,these fake readers, is a little
different, because the peoplewho want to do it think they're
doing it, but they don't knowany better and they're reading
bias and they're causing morenegativity, like they truly

(14:08):
think they are doing God's work,they truly think that they are
gifted and that these messagesare coming from another side.
So there seems to be this weirdenergetic imprint on these fake
psychics that their impact goesfurther.
Their ripple effect goes a lotfurther on their clients and

(14:31):
cascades on and on versus thesepeople who are truly charlatans,
the ones that DM you and giveyou the same spiel over and over
again, because they don't giveenough generic information
generally to cause these massiveripple effects.
I think that a lot of peoplereceive these readings and they

(14:52):
think about it and then theyrealize it's fake after a while,
so they make the right decisionthey should have made anyway,
and I know that's not true allof the time.
I think there's a generalizationhere, but for the most part,
the people who have the energyof what I'm doing is real.
When they're frauds, whenthey're not good at this work,
that impact goes a lot fartherthan the people who are

(15:14):
charlatans and know that this isfake because there's no energy
to back it up, and so this is areally interesting perspective
on this view, because it's theintention behind the work here.
So there's a genuine sadfeeling for the charlatans who

(15:39):
are purely just sending the DMs,like the ones without the
energy behind it, becausethere's a sense of desperation
there.
They're not doing this to foolpeople.
They're doing this because theyneed to put food on the table
for their families.
These are the people who areliterally doing everything they
can to survive in this world,and it does not mean that you

(16:02):
should go pay these people moneybecause they are, in a sense,
trying to fool you.
But there's a lot moreforgiveness there and a lot more
understanding of why they'redoing it, because they're just
out to make a quick buck andthey're no different than any
other place.
That is like fraudulent that'strying to make a quick buck
right, the you know, mlm,multi-level marketing schemes,

(16:25):
no different energy, like.
They get judged the same way.
So we're just going to brushthem to the side is what my team
is showing me.
But here's the difference thepeople that are truly invested
in and truly not doing the work,well and truly hurting people
in this work because they thinkthat they are doing the right
thing, they think the intentionand the energy behind it.

(16:45):
So I'm going to say the badpsychics I wouldn't even say the
fake psychics, I'm going to saythe bad psychics.
They do so much more damagethan good and that those are the
people who need to be if we hadto choose a word need to be
smited.
But again, they don't know anybetter.
So there's also the sense oflove and forgiveness behind it,

(17:06):
but also like they're going toreap what they sow and they're
going to have a lot morerepercussions on in the other,
in the spirit world and in theirleft next life because of what
they do, and I'm seeing that alot of them end up being the
recipients of these bad psychicsin their next life or these bad
rip off people in their nextlives because they just they

(17:31):
need to know what it feels liketo be ripped off and to be shown
or felt, you know, shown thatthere's this fast way out and
take that fast way and then haveit all fall apart in like this
tower moment is what I'm saying.
So a lot of them do end up kindof reaping what they sow in in
their next life.
Is there anything else there?
Okay, I'm seeing them kind oftell me to put the paper away.

(17:57):
So I'm going to ask if there'sanything else they wanted me
they wanted to to answer forthis April Fool's Day podcast or
anything they wanted me tochannel for them.
They want you to remember andthis is not an April Fool's joke
that you've chosen this lifefor a reason, and so if you are

(18:21):
sitting in the pity party ofyour life and expecting
everything to come to you andeverything to be solved by you
and everything to just happenfor you because you've chosen
this life, the answer is itwon't happen.
So this is your public serviceannouncement and as they say
that, I see the giant bullhornin their head this is your

(18:44):
public service announcement thatyou need to do the work.
And so this week they're goingto challenge you.
What have you been thinkingabout and not acting on, and
what steps are you going to doto make that life the way that
you've wanted it to be?
What steps can you make?

(19:04):
And it doesn't need to be bigsteps.
It can be calling somebody andsaying I love you, it could be
writing in your journal, itcould be going for a walk, but
what's?
What action are you taking toliterally get up, move your legs
, to literally get a notebook,get a pen right?
What steps are you taking toprogress your soul and progress

(19:26):
your life and step out of thestagnation?
Because it's okay that we sit inresting energy, but when you
rest for too long, it looks liketwilight in my head.
You start collecting dust andyou look like those old Italian
creepy guys you know the Valturi, I said it, I am a Twi-hard

(19:57):
here and you create a life thatis not what you expected.
Just because you've selectedthis path does not mean it's
going to happen to you.
You have to work for it.
So here is your gentle nudgefrom my spiritual team to say
what are you doing to moveforward on your soul's path this
lifetime, your soul's lesson.
This lifetime the faster youget through those souls lessons,
the easier it gets All right.

(20:18):
