I also wanted to touch on whyI call the show the Dead Life, because
many people ask, it's not thedead that I'm referencing in the
(00:42):
title.
The dead always say that we'rethe dead ones.
They're more alive than we are.
So when I call it the deadLife, that has to do with people
who are grieving were the dead ones.
So therefore the dead life.

We, we've got some veryquality people and not just accomplished
people, but they're coolpeople and that makes me really happy
to be able to say that.
And they're open minded, whichis just a plus.
So.
(02:28):
Right, why don't we go aheadand start with our first caller.
All right.
Hi Alison, my name is Rachel.
I've been listening to yourpodcast for quite some time.
Came across you from CharlieGoldsmith, actually.
And anyhow, my question islike your daughter Sophia, I am also
(02:49):
a photographer and my questionto you is that regarding my daughter.
I have a daughter.
She's a toddler.
I'm a single mom, and therehave been times where I'm with my
daughter, and it looks to melike, visually, it's just a very
picturesque moment.
(03:10):
But.
But I'm by myself as a singlemom, and I have nobody to, like,
take a picture of us.
So sometimes I'll say outloud, if there are any photographers
up there in heaven, like, Iknow there are, could you please
get a photo of my daughter andI right now?
And then I kind of say, like,because I, you know, once I'm not
(03:32):
here anymore, I want to goback and I want to look at these.
I'm wondering, is thissomething that is, like, you know,
reasonable with the other side?
I'm just curious if it is,because I've said it.
Since my daughter's been,like, born.
I had two miscarriages before her.
Unfortunately, I didn't have ababy shower or, like, any photos
(03:56):
professionally taken of mydaughter and myself.
And so, yeah, I'm justcurious, when I asked that question,
like, is there somebodyupstairs that's maybe perhaps capturing
the moment?
Is that.
Is that possible?
And, like, maybe will I beable to see these.
These glimpses of candidmoments that I love and I wasn't
(04:19):
able to capture myself.
So, anyways, that's my question.
Thank you so much.
I love your podcast.
Okay, that's a new question.
I've never had it, which iswhy I included it.
So on the other side, whenRachel passes, she'll be able to
relive those moments as thoughshe's experiencing them for the first
(04:41):
time.
So all of those moments, in asense, are captured in time, like
snapshots, actually, more ofmotion pictures.
So she will experience that onthe other side.
But, Rachel, get a timer foryour camera, girl.
They have cameras with timersnow so that you don't have to miss
(05:02):
those shots.
I know what you're talking about.
I was just saying this to Joe,that we have pictures and the girls
are in it when they're littleand Joe's in it, and I know I'm taking
the picture, but then we neverturn the camera around to take a
picture of me and the girls.
It was always Joe and thegirls, and it irks me.
So I understand how you feelmissing those shots.
(05:25):
So you definitely need thecamera with the timer on it so that
you don't have to lose anymore of those moments.
There's no reason for it.
Now, she's a professionalphotographer, so I will say she probably
wants a certain shot.
Better to have some picturethan no picture.
Right.
And.
Right.
A video camera even takes somestills off the stream.
(05:49):
Yeah, yeah, set up your video camera.
I like the old video camerasthat were just on the tripods.
It was so much better than phones.
Now people whip out their phones.
When you brought out thecamera with the tripod, you got the
whole room.
You got everything that wasgoing on.
And I just, you know, it was business.
You paid more attention tograb it and bring it in.
(06:09):
Now we just grab a phone andsort of put on a little show for
it for a few seconds.
It's like just set up a cameraon a tripod when you have a holiday
or something going on and getsome footage anyways, so.
But yeah, I hope that answers your.
Your question, Rachel.
And yes, Charlie.
(06:29):
Charlie Goldsmith's show.
I was on his podcast.
Yes or no?
He was on my podcast.
He was on mine.
But yeah, I kind of wanted toadd, you've said this many times
that the people, when youbring them through, they're reliving
it.
So it's even better than thephoto that she actually gets to re
experience that.
And she's really reinforcingin her memory as she asks for those
(06:52):
pictures to be taken.
She's imprinting it on her own soul.
Well, and when you relivethose memories, the colors are more
vibrant and the sounds are crisper.
Everything's more alive inthat moment.
So it's even sort of what wecreate here, but on steroids over
there, where it has a pulse,it has this emotion to it, and it's
(07:15):
very beautiful.
So Rachel will have thosemoments again.
She doesn't have to worryabout forgetting.
They wait for us in the afterlife.
Nice.
All right, are you ready?
I am.
Hi, Allison, this is Kimmy Martinez.
That's a long, drawn outstory, so hopefully I can say it
(07:35):
short and sweet.
I had a little nephew.
I actually.
We actually fostered him andhis two older brothers.
And then we were going to get.
His younger brother was tryingto keep all of the children together,
but it didn't work out for usand we ended up having to give the
(08:00):
children back.
And sadly, that's not what wewanted to do, but we had to.
And I just loved the little.
Little Alex was his name.
I just loved him so much.
And he was.
He was two at this time, buthis younger brother had just been
(08:22):
born.
We did not have him in our home.
Anyways, long story short,when he went back into the system,
he was fostered out.
They were all Separated and hewas fostered out to another family.
And they had Rottweilers, andthey killed him.
(08:46):
So sorry.
I just want to know if he.
How do I know that he knowsthat we loved him?
And how do I.
I know he felt the love whenhe was with us.
And we had always hoped thatwe could go back and get him and
(09:09):
his other brothers, but wewere not able.
We're not able to get him andweren't able to get the other brothers.
But how do we know that theyknew anyways?
How would.
How would we know that theyknow that we love them?
And I guess that's my biggest question.
(09:30):
Sometimes I feel like he'saround me, and then sometimes I don't
have any feelings whatsoever.
I just would like to know thathe knows we love.
That's all.
Thank you.
Well, Kimmy, I'm so sorry.
That was a senseless andtraumatic death for that child.
(09:51):
And I guess speaking on behalfof the child and saying something
that might be slightlyunpopular with some people, but I
don't care if you have dogsthat are known to have a propensity
for violence, no child shouldever be placed in your house.
And I just don't understandwhy that still happens when we know
(10:12):
it's like putting them in witha sex offender or somebody that,
you know, has a propensity tocross that line.
So it doesn't mean they'realways a bad dog.
But if they have thepropensity to be a violent dog, then
it shouldn't be a risk that'staken, and the kids have no say,
and it's just unfair.
So I feel Kimmy's pain there,and I'm sure a lot of parents out
(10:36):
there, their hearts go out to her.
Alex does feel what you feelfor him when you miss him.
He feels that.
When you feel love for him, hefeels that warmth in his center of
being cared for, of mattering,of being remembered.
(10:58):
I guarantee you that Alexknows that you wanted him.
When you talk to him, he canhear you.
He was little more than a babybeing two.
So I'm sure that the momentsthat our versions of us have in have
to do with feeling safe withKimmy and her family and of being
(11:20):
around his brothers.
You know, obviously there arecircumstances we don't understand.
Where were the parents?
And why were other childrencontinuing to be born with other
kids being in foster care?
I mean, all of that soundslike it's got a huge backstory to
it.
That's probably pretty.
Pretty sad.
But I can guarantee you thatAlex Absolutely knows what he means
(11:45):
to you and that he'll followalong with you through your life.
And when you cross, you'll beable to pick him up and hug him and
hold him in your arms and tellhim all the things that he already
knows because he hears you andhe feels your sincerity and your
devotion to him.
(12:06):
So very, very sad ending atsuch a very young age.
They hear us.
They feel what we feel.
They're empathic.
They sense us.
So when you're not sensing himaround you, it's because those are
moments where he's doing otherthings on the other side, probably
(12:28):
playing with other children,interacting with people who he feels
comforted by.
I do bring through a lot ofadults that will say it's their job
to help children to cross thatdon't have anyone there that they
recognize and know.
(12:48):
So there are people whoalready would surround him with care
and love until you get there, Kimmy.
So why don't.
Did you have anything to addon that?
Well, no, that was so super sad.
But I hope that gives Kimmysome closure, that some knowing because
(13:11):
you've seen it before, you'veseen these things and.
He can feel her motherlywarmth towards him.
Absolutely.
So yes.
All right, we will move to the next.
Okay.
Hi, Allyson, Love your show.
This is Laura from Ontario, Canada.
I'm just calling in with thiscrazy experience I had several years
(13:34):
ago.
I was doing something my exboyfriend's living room.
And then all of a sudden thisvoice, and I could kind of see him
as well, came in into my head.
And we started.
He kept saying, you need tocall your sister.
And I was like, dude, like wehaven't talking talked in several
(13:56):
years.
We've been estranged.
And he's like, no, you have to.
And it was a back and forth.
And then all of a sudden theconversation disappeared.
And then a few hours later, Igot a call, or text rather, from
my oldest sister, saying thatmy little sister's partner had been
killed in a very tragic fourWheeling accident, that even the
(14:18):
cops were shaken up by it.
So I'm just wondering how didhe know to come to me, especially
when I didn't know or didn'ttalk to my sister.
And I'm just curious, what,what was he trying to.
Was there other message thathe wanted to tell me despite us getting
into a little bit of an argument?
(14:39):
Just great news.
I did reconnect with my littlesister several years ago and we're
best of friends now.
So thanks so much and lookingforward to your shows.
Okay.
I Love this Colin.
Laura.
So thank you for calling inthe boyfriend.
The little sister's boyfriendcame to Laura for two reasons.
(15:00):
One, because she's open, andhe would sense and know who would
be the easiest portal to comethrough to.
To carry on any messages orthat he's okay, that he's still here.
The other part to that is hecame through to reunite them because
he knew that his girlfriendwould need her sister and loved her
(15:22):
sister, because I'm sure theyhad many pillow talk conversations
about how much she missed her sister.
When we're on the other side,we see the silliness to some of the
arguments that we're in thatcost us time together.
But so fast, it would havebeen just minutes, right?
You know, even if it wasinstantly in that way.
(15:46):
Usually that will happen whensomebody dies tragically, so that
doesn't surprise me.
He died four wheeling.
This wasn't an expected death.
He wasn't in motion to bementally and physically learning
how to let go of his body and spiritually.
So he died so suddenly thathe's like, how can I get word to
(16:06):
my girlfriend that I'm okay sothat she doesn't worry that I'm still
here?
And so of course, he pickedher sister.
And so Laura happened to bethe one easiest to access, is that
what you're saying?
Yes, she was the easiest to access.
And we gain wisdom on theother side, there would have been
a sense of knowing that thisis an opportunity to reunite the
(16:27):
two and that his girlfriendreally would need her, her big sister.
So he reached out to her andachieved his goal because they ended
up becoming close again andare now thick as thieves.
And that would make him veryhappy to know that he was instrumental
in bringing them back together.
(16:47):
What I like is that Laura hadan argument with a ghost.
Joe, that's kind of funny.
I mean, why are you coming to me?
That's pretty cool on thebucket list there, right?
Oh, yeah.
You did that?
Well, I argued with a ghostand I won.
(17:09):
So, yeah, I think that'spretty funny.
And when he came through toher, did she say she was asleep or
was this while she was awake?
This is while she's awake.
So I only know from when yourdad would wake me up or keep me awake
that I would be annoyed sometimes.
So I was just trying to piecetogether and fill in the blanks of,
(17:30):
did he wake her up?
Was she tired?
Is that why she was annoyedthat he was there?
Because if you're just inmidday and in an aspir, like an Somebody.
Thank you.
Somebody appears to you, oryou're here, or just hearing somebody
talk in your mind, you'relike, why are you bothering me?
You're usually too distractedduring the day to actually for them
(17:53):
to be able to get your attention.
So I just.
I was just spitballing to seeif it was while.
While she was asleep or justwoken up.
It doesn't matter.
Anyways, I'm glad, Laura, thatyou and your sister are close again.
And I think both of youprobably had the conversation how
you'll never let something sosmall get in between the two of you
(18:15):
again.
But I also think it helpedLaura's sister feel some peace knowing
that he reached out throughher sister to let her know that he
was still here and that he's okay.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, that was a great story.
Are we going to the next one?
(18:36):
That's the plan.
All right.
Hi, Allison.
My question is about a visitation.
My name is Melissa, and I'mfrom Pennsylvania.
First, I wanted to tell youabout the number of times, though
I think that our lives have intersected.
I've always believed in andreceived signs.
So then when I found out aboutyou, I immediately read your book,
Don't Kiss Them Goodbye.
(18:57):
And then I found out that youwere coming to Philadelphia, so I
convinced some of my friendsto come with me, and we were able
to go into a group reading.
You actually called on me, andthen we got a picture with Joe.
I got my book signed by you.
I even got my picture with you.
And then around or near thattime, Diane Goldner.
(19:17):
I found out about her, so Idevoured off her books.
And then I attended a coursewith her in the Southamptons, and
she and I became friends.
I've done multiple healingswith her.
She is absolutely amazing.
So really happy that shejoined the Dead Life University.
And I was actually reallyshocked when I listened to your podcast
(19:41):
and heard her on there.
So I figured the two of youwould connect.
I should have known, actually,because you're such kindred spirits.
But I also watched your showMedium, and I've done a tarot reading
now with Margaret Jamison, andmy colleague just got me a whole
bunch of stuff from GrannyMagic for Christmas this year.
(20:01):
The only person I haven'treached out to yet is Tom.
I definitely need to schedulesomething with him, and I'm also
trying to find somebody who'sgoing to Arizona so they can bring
back some of your money vodkato me.
Anyway, I just want to thankyou for dedicating your life to what
you do.
You and Your family are trulyan inspiration.
And when I've mentioned you tosome people, they've tried warning
(20:21):
me about false prophets.
And while there may be somemediums out there who are not on
the up and up, as with anyprofession, I know that what you
do is truly a gift from God.
You know, how does somebodyspend the first part of their career
solving murders?
Then now, when I listen to youdo readings or I've watched you do
(20:41):
readings, I see that peoplelet go of the guilt and anguish they've
had from losing their loved ones.
And so to me, how can that beanything but a blessing?
So I also see that as a veryhealing thing, too.
So kind of, in a way, you're ahealer, too.
So I really appreciatedMelissa Culligan.
(21:05):
I know.
I love.
I love Melissa.
So first of all, shout out toPhilly, because Philadelphia is one
of my favorite cities, andthat's why I always toured there.
I just.
I love the people and the food is.
Forget about it.
It's so good.
And she.
She mentioned Diane Goldner.
And Diane's an amazing healerfor anybody out there that's learning.
(21:27):
She's a fantastic professor ofhealing at Dead University.
And Margaret Jamison is ourprofessor of Earth magic.
And yes, her store is amazing.
So check it out.
So that's grannymagic.com thereason I wanted to play Melissa's
is to address what some peoplewill still say, which just shocks
(21:49):
me in this day and age thatyou're still hearing it.
Because I've been doing thisprofessionally for 25 years.
And I remember in thebeginning it was a bit unsettling
to me that there were.
I just called them Biblethumpers at the time.
Yeah.
That think that what I do isdemonic or, you know, satanic in
(22:14):
some way.
And it's quite the opposite.
We're actually doing God'swork out there in the world, trying
to help people resuscitate theliving back to the living world so
that they don't die with theperson that they lost and die on
the inside and walk around asa zombie that's just going through
(22:34):
the motions of life.
So our work as mediums isincredibly important.
And I wanted to say this andtouch on this for all of the younger
mediums out there that arestill going to experience this.
And you could put yourself ina bubble and you can surround yourself
with spiritualists andeveryone who sees things the way
you see.
But I do like being olderbecause I have experienced the world
(23:00):
touring and the differentenergies of people, including I've
Learned lessons from those whotalk about false prophets, which
is why I had Father NathanCastle on my show and in my book
We Are Their Heaven, where heactually took part in the writing
(23:22):
of a chapter to addresspeople's religious questions about
psychics and mediums, whichare in the Bible by the way.
And what he had said is falseprophets that they spoke of were
the people that actuallyweren't prophetic, that didn't predict
(23:43):
things ahead of time, thatdidn't communicate with the dead,
that they were lying about it.
So that that doesn't mean thateverybody that's a psychic medium
lies about what they do.
That means there are peoplethat have existed that have done
that and any profession isgoing to have their percentage of
(24:04):
bad apples in the bunch.
And it happens.
However, I wanted to addressthis so that younger mediums understand
this information, so that whenthey are faced with it, they, they
recognize people who aretalking about false prophets need
to read the Bible a little bitmore closely.
Because the interpretation ofthe Catholic priest that I had on
(24:28):
my show at in We Are TheirHeaven laid it out very clearly.
And I would say that he issomebody who would be considered
an expert in the Bible andbiblical times and the meanings behind
what had been written.
Having him explain that reallydid help me.
And he pointed out multipleinstances in the Bible where Jesus
(24:57):
friends saw him after he died.
So that is no different thanwhat mediums do.
So it has been cataloged thatpeople like me have existed for all
time and we're not going away.
There's a new medium bornevery day.
So when it comes to the peoplethat are skeptical, I can handle
(25:19):
a skeptic who their skepticismis based on something more than repeating
something they heard fromsomeone else because they think that
argument's gonna work.
We've all learned that doesn't work.
After a while, people gettired of hearing it and they don't
listen to you and they tunedyou, tune you out.
Or if they're based in fear,there's a lot of reasons.
(25:40):
If there are people who areskeptical who actually want to find
answers and get to the bottomof it, I think that's healthy skepticism.
And I'm a hundred percent opento that.
It's the cynical people that Ihave no time for, people who just
want to name call.
I don't have time for that.
Your own family doesn't talkto you, obviously.
(26:00):
It's why people go online andsocial media and say things to strangers
that are famous because theirfamilies won't listen to them.
And I just Block and delete.
So just know if something getsposted, you're gone.
And I'm cool with that becausethat's how I keep my energy space
flowing.
But if somebody actually hasan intellectual question about mediumship
(26:22):
and psychic spirituality, I'mmore than happy to address those
questions.
Please feel free to call inwith those questions, and I will
do the research and I willfind answers for you because I think
it's important.
And I think the biggestbelievers in mediums are former skeptics.
(26:43):
Sure.
And I see those people all thetime who used to be a skeptic.
And I think a lot of skepticshaven't actually lost someone that
they love, so they don't havethe opinion, and they're not really
in a place to want to havethat communication.
Sure, there's people that havenot lost somebody, so they haven't
(27:04):
had a need for it.
But then there's people thathave lost somebody close, and they
get very resentful, and thenthey have their.
Well, yeah, that's true.
The big thing is the cynicstend to decide what they think you
do without even listening towhat you actually do.
And they're always wrong.
(27:26):
They think you're saying youdo something that's different than
what you.
Or they cherry pick and tryand create an argument to support
what they want to be true.
But we also had a lot of great conversations.
Remember Ann Gaiman and shehad the book the Priest in the medium?
And he was.
Yeah, he was a Jesuit priest,and he was very fascinating.
(27:47):
So it's not just one priestthat has said it.
There's been many.
Yes, well, he left thepriesthood for Anne.
What a lady.
Yeah, what a lady.
And she's a medium.
We spent time with both of them.
Lovely people.
Now passed, but very special couple.
Very, very special.
But while you were talkingabout it, I was thinking you should
(28:10):
assign homework to yourstudents at Dead University to make
them listen to the FatherNathan episode, and then you could
teach them.
But no, it was a.
It just.
It's truly fascinating becauseyou do have an expert, and it answers
a lot of questions that people have.
That's a good suggestion.
Okay.
A lot of questions people have.
Well, and people that actuallywant to know, from a Catholic priest
(28:32):
point of view, theinterpretation of the Bible, and
you're curious.
Please go back in my Dead Lifearchive of podcast episode episodes
and find the one with FatherNathan Castle, who also has his own
podcast, and listen to it.
Because I asked him all thequestions that most people have regarding
(28:54):
spiritualists and he answeredthem in such a smart and.
And warm way.
And I really appreciate thatabout him.
I've always said seeing theother side, interacting with the
dead, is actually the mosthuman thing in the world.
And animals see spirits moreeasily than us.
(29:15):
Babies and small children seethem because they haven't had time
in our physical world tobecome jaded, to become angry, resentful,
or to think that we're justsmarter than everyone else and we
have all the answers, whichwould be an unwise person that would
have that thought.
But I see them all the time.
(29:35):
So I did want to put that outthere so that Melissa has that information,
if her friends should evertalk about mediums in such a way
to know what they're basingthat on, because that is not in the
Bible.
They are talking about false prophets.
They are not talking aboutpeople who actually communicate with
(29:58):
the other side, which are alsodocumented everywhere throughout
history as existing.
Absolutely.
All right.
All right.
So now for Robert.
Allison.
My name is Robert Vanhouse.
I live in Beatty, Nevada.
(30:21):
You got my number there, I'm sure.
I've had.
I'm 79 years old and retired,maybe 25 years retired government.
Had my own company for aboutthree years.
Anyway, I live by myself nowin Beijing, Nevada, in an apartment.
And I've had some medium experiences.
(30:46):
The last one I had before Iwent in the hospital with kidney
problems, which they resolved,by the way, but before.
The last one I had was myfirst love, my first girlfriend.
Her name is Helen Thorsheim.
And I just said, helenThorsheim, please step forward.
(31:06):
And she did.
And so that was.
That really helped me a lot,but I can't.
But since then, I've not had any.
Had any more experiences.
And.
And I can't understand why.
I pray every night for God tokeep evil away from me.
(31:26):
Evil, like things in hereresembles evil.
Those exact words.
And I've not had any evilfaces coming out when I shut my eyes
or anything like that.
So I don't know why I'm notseeing any good spirits.
Maybe you can answer that sometime.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
(31:48):
Bye.
Okay.
I just love Robert, so, yeah,I wanted to include that.
And I love how he gives allthose details and.
And Helen, full name.
I'm surprised you didn't spellit for us.
Like, he provides details.
He came with the facts and the tea.
(32:08):
I love it so.
Well, I would have to ask hima question.
I would need to know if.
When he asked for her to stepforward to help him, because that
would calm him, had he alreadyBeen medicated to have for the procedure.
Was he on pain pills?
Like, was there something thatwould have temporarily shut down
(32:31):
his brain from thinking wherehe was spiritually more accessible?
Because that can make youspiritually more accessible.
It's just.
That makes sense being able toprocess it after the fact.
Which is why I tell mediums tobe make sure you're very sober when
you're doing readings, becauseotherwise, sometimes the information
(32:52):
can get disarrayed.
Yeah.
Moved around in ways that itwasn't meant to.
Why don't I see good spirits?
First of all, Robert, I alwayssay block any mischievous or negative
entities from coming near meor my family.
And that's my mantra.
Whenever I'm in a place whereI'm feeling some dark energy around
(33:18):
me or morose energy around meor my husband or children, and that
the other side, all the peoplethat I talk to and that care about
me, throw up a shield of protection.
And it works.
So I'm glad that him askingfor that is working.
I swear, it does work.
(33:39):
You don't have to have specialpowers out there.
You already had it all along,Dorothy, that that energy inside
of you, the other side alreadyfeels you, hears you.
And when you request that fromthe other side for protection, they.
They're just waiting for youto tell them what you need from them.
And they do it.
Why don't I see good spirits?
(34:00):
Kind of sounds like you'd liketo have a conversation with Helen
and a few other people fromthe past.
Right?
So the trick to being able tocommunicate, first of all, I find
a pad of paper and a box ofsharpened pencils.
Helpful pens don't work aswell for me.
It's the pencil lead.
Maybe because it's of nature.
Wood pencil, you know, that it's.
(34:22):
It's more connective somehowthan plastic, you know, like a plastic
pen.
So I always recommend thesharp pencils and scribbling side
by side.
It's called automatic writing.
And start writing theimpressions you get, Robert, when
you're trying to communicatewith Helen or anyone else, you'll
have images pop in your head.
(34:43):
You'll hear things, you knowthem straight up talking to you.
You'll get a feeling you'lltaste a chocolate milkshake.
They communicate through allof our senses.
That'll help.
But you need to be in a quietplace and in a very comfortable surrounding.
So a place with good energy,let's put it that way.
(35:06):
If you've got barking dogsrunning around that's distracting,
you're going to be hard to Reach.
You're not able to feeleverything if it's being sent out
in other directions for other things.
Children, same thing.
But Robert's 79, so it soundslike he probably has a pretty cozy
spot, cozy space around himwhere he can do this.
(35:29):
It has more to do withchanneling them through the center
of your chest.
Telling them you miss them,that you need them, and that you
still want them to be part ofyour life.
And that seems to be very keyin me helping people to connect with
the other side.
Telling them you want them tobe part of your life, because once
you welcome them in, it's sortof like opening the door to their
(35:50):
energy.
They show up.
That will help Robert to communicate.
And I know this is a hard ask,but you got to stay out of your head,
Robert, when you're trying tocommunicate to them.
Because in the physical world,we're used to going deep into, you
know, our intellectual core totry and communicate with them.
And that is not how they communicate.
(36:12):
They're emotionally basedbeings that communicate through places
of emotion to us is where thecommunication is brought through.
So in other words, if I'mfeeling like I miss my dad, I was
thinking of him today.
I'm like, I miss my dad.
I've gone to an emotionalplace in that center where I miss
(36:32):
him.
Now that I've gone to thatplace, I can say, dad, you know,
we just, you know, somethinggood happened in our life and I just
wanted.
I wanted you to know and Ijust needed to know you're here.
And the communication becomeseasier because I've.
I've made an emotionaldialogue with him.
Does that make sense to usecerebral over there?
(36:53):
I think so, yeah.
My brainiac.
It's hard to get our ego outof the way.
I mean, we think about what wethink about, and that's what our
whole world is.
And when you communicate withthe other side, from what I've seen
what you do, and then here andthere, I've had little glimpses of
it.
(37:13):
It's so hard to explain.
But you, you just kind of know it.
And don't dismiss those littlethings that normally we do well.
And I think a lot of peoplewill, in their head, try to think
really hard.
No, that makes it worse to communicate.
And it makes it worse when yousay to the other side, you know,
(37:36):
like, I'm open to channel.
I'm open to channel, like, I'mwelcoming you in.
I want you to be part of mylife and you maybe even share a memory.
Like, say Robert and Helenused to sneak into the drive in movies
or something.
And he's like, hey, Helen,remember when we go to the drive
(37:56):
ins?
And so.
And so had made the bestpopcorn in all of the state.
And then we shared a milkshake together.
And you and I, you know, wereally would have got in trouble
if our parents got us, youknow, something.
Something that was a happy memory.
And then you'll start to heara reply from them.
And so it's the start of theemotional dialogue.
(38:18):
It's got to be driven byemotion, not intellect.
And then not dismiss it.
Right.
I think a lot of people say,oh, well, I kind of thought that,
but that must have been methinking that.
And don't have preconceivednotions or run an agenda on them
of what you think they shouldsay, because then that's a function
of the mind.
Again, and you're missing the point.
It's not the function of the mind.
(38:39):
That's not where they communicate.
They communicate with our soul.
They communicate in ouremotional center.
Yeah, makes sense.
Makes sense.
I mean, you're anastrophysicist, so if you say I sound
like I'm laying it outplaying, that makes me happy.
Thank you.
Yes.
(38:59):
All right.
Well, thank you for your inputand for being my sounding board.
Thank you.
These are so much fun.
I really do enjoy it.
On such complicated call in questions.
Send me more complicated callin questions.
I like them because we have togo deep and I think it makes.
It's thought provoking and ittakes us in directions that maybe
(39:20):
we didn't anticipate going.
And I think that's a goodthing to keep the energy fresh on
the podcast.

(00:20):
you on what to say to peoplewho think that mediums are doing
something demonic.
There are many questions andso much to cover today, so stay tuned.
I also wanted to touch on whyI call the show the Dead Life, because
many people ask, it's not thedead that I'm referencing in the
(00:42):
title.
The dead always say that we'rethe dead ones.
They're more alive than we are.
So when I call it the deadLife, that has to do with people
who are grieving were the dead ones.
So therefore the dead life.

So.
(02:28):
Right, why don't we go aheadand start with our first caller.
All right.
Hi Alison, my name is Rachel.
I've been listening to yourpodcast for quite some time.
Came across you from CharlieGoldsmith, actually.
And anyhow, my question islike your daughter Sophia, I am also
(02:49):
a photographer and my questionto you is that regarding my daughter.
I have a daughter.
She's a toddler.
I'm a single mom, and therehave been times where I'm with my
daughter, and it looks to melike, visually, it's just a very
picturesque moment.
(03:10):
But.
But I'm by myself as a singlemom, and I have nobody to, like,
take a picture of us.
So sometimes I'll say outloud, if there are any photographers
up there in heaven, like, Iknow there are, could you please
get a photo of my daughter andI right now?
And then I kind of say, like,because I, you know, once I'm not
(03:32):
here anymore, I want to goback and I want to look at these.
I'm wondering, is thissomething that is, like, you know,
reasonable with the other side?
I'm just curious if it is,because I've said it.
Since my daughter's been,like, born.
I had two miscarriages before her.
Unfortunately, I didn't have ababy shower or, like, any photos
(03:56):
professionally taken of mydaughter and myself.
And so, yeah, I'm justcurious, when I asked that question,
like, is there somebodyupstairs that's maybe perhaps capturing
the moment?
Is that.
Is that possible?
And, like, maybe will I beable to see these.
These glimpses of candidmoments that I love and I wasn't
(04:19):
able to capture myself.
So, anyways, that's my question.
Thank you so much.
I love your podcast.
Okay, that's a new question.
I've never had it, which iswhy I included it.
So on the other side, whenRachel passes, she'll be able to
relive those moments as thoughshe's experiencing them for the first
(04:41):
time.
So all of those moments, in asense, are captured in time, like
snapshots, actually, more ofmotion pictures.
So she will experience that onthe other side.
But, Rachel, get a timer foryour camera, girl.
They have cameras with timersnow so that you don't have to miss
(05:02):
those shots.
I know what you're talking about.
I was just saying this to Joe,that we have pictures and the girls
are in it when they're littleand Joe's in it, and I know I'm taking
the picture, but then we neverturn the camera around to take a
picture of me and the girls.
It was always Joe and thegirls, and it irks me.
So I understand how you feelmissing those shots.
(05:25):
So you definitely need thecamera with the timer on it so that
you don't have to lose anymore of those moments.
There's no reason for it.
Now, she's a professionalphotographer, so I will say she probably
wants a certain shot.
Better to have some picturethan no picture.
Right.
And.
Right.
A video camera even takes somestills off the stream.
(05:49):
Yeah, yeah, set up your video camera.
I like the old video camerasthat were just on the tripods.
It was so much better than phones.
Now people whip out their phones.
When you brought out thecamera with the tripod, you got the
whole room.
You got everything that wasgoing on.
And I just, you know, it was business.
You paid more attention tograb it and bring it in.
(06:09):
Now we just grab a phone andsort of put on a little show for
it for a few seconds.
It's like just set up a cameraon a tripod when you have a holiday
or something going on and getsome footage anyways, so.
But yeah, I hope that answers your.
Your question, Rachel.
And yes, Charlie.
(06:29):
Charlie Goldsmith's show.
I was on his podcast.
Yes or no?
He was on my podcast.
He was on mine.
But yeah, I kind of wanted toadd, you've said this many times
that the people, when youbring them through, they're reliving
it.
So it's even better than thephoto that she actually gets to re
experience that.
And she's really reinforcingin her memory as she asks for those
(06:52):
pictures to be taken.
She's imprinting it on her own soul.
Well, and when you relivethose memories, the colors are more
vibrant and the sounds are crisper.
Everything's more alive inthat moment.
So it's even sort of what wecreate here, but on steroids over
there, where it has a pulse,it has this emotion to it, and it's
(07:15):
very beautiful.
So Rachel will have thosemoments again.
She doesn't have to worryabout forgetting.
They wait for us in the afterlife.
Nice.
All right, are you ready?
I am.
Hi, Allison, this is Kimmy Martinez.
That's a long, drawn outstory, so hopefully I can say it
(07:35):
short and sweet.
I had a little nephew.
I actually.
We actually fostered him andhis two older brothers.
And then we were going to get.
His younger brother was tryingto keep all of the children together,
but it didn't work out for usand we ended up having to give the
(08:00):
children back.
And sadly, that's not what wewanted to do, but we had to.
And I just loved the little.
Little Alex was his name.
I just loved him so much.
And he was.
He was two at this time, buthis younger brother had just been
(08:22):
born.
We did not have him in our home.
Anyways, long story short,when he went back into the system,
he was fostered out.
They were all Separated and hewas fostered out to another family.
And they had Rottweilers, andthey killed him.
(08:46):
So sorry.
I just want to know if he.
How do I know that he knowsthat we loved him?
And how do I.
I know he felt the love whenhe was with us.
And we had always hoped thatwe could go back and get him and
(09:09):
his other brothers, but wewere not able.
We're not able to get him andweren't able to get the other brothers.
But how do we know that theyknew anyways?
How would.
How would we know that theyknow that we love them?
And I guess that's my biggest question.
(09:30):
Sometimes I feel like he'saround me, and then sometimes I don't
have any feelings whatsoever.
I just would like to know thathe knows we love.
That's all.
Thank you.
Well, Kimmy, I'm so sorry.
That was a senseless andtraumatic death for that child.
(09:51):
And I guess speaking on behalfof the child and saying something
that might be slightlyunpopular with some people, but I
don't care if you have dogsthat are known to have a propensity
for violence, no child shouldever be placed in your house.
And I just don't understandwhy that still happens when we know
(10:12):
it's like putting them in witha sex offender or somebody that,
you know, has a propensity tocross that line.
So it doesn't mean they'realways a bad dog.
But if they have thepropensity to be a violent dog, then
it shouldn't be a risk that'staken, and the kids have no say,
and it's just unfair.
So I feel Kimmy's pain there,and I'm sure a lot of parents out
(10:36):
there, their hearts go out to her.
Alex does feel what you feelfor him when you miss him.
He feels that.
When you feel love for him, hefeels that warmth in his center of
being cared for, of mattering,of being remembered.
(10:58):
I guarantee you that Alexknows that you wanted him.
When you talk to him, he canhear you.
He was little more than a babybeing two.
So I'm sure that the momentsthat our versions of us have in have
to do with feeling safe withKimmy and her family and of being
(11:20):
around his brothers.
You know, obviously there arecircumstances we don't understand.
Where were the parents?
And why were other childrencontinuing to be born with other
kids being in foster care?
I mean, all of that soundslike it's got a huge backstory to
it.
That's probably pretty.
Pretty sad.
But I can guarantee you thatAlex Absolutely knows what he means
(11:45):
to you and that he'll followalong with you through your life.
And when you cross, you'll beable to pick him up and hug him and
hold him in your arms and tellhim all the things that he already
knows because he hears you andhe feels your sincerity and your
devotion to him.
(12:06):
So very, very sad ending atsuch a very young age.
They hear us.
They feel what we feel.
They're empathic.
They sense us.
So when you're not sensing himaround you, it's because those are
moments where he's doing otherthings on the other side, probably
(12:28):
playing with other children,interacting with people who he feels
comforted by.
I do bring through a lot ofadults that will say it's their job
to help children to cross thatdon't have anyone there that they
recognize and know.
(12:48):
So there are people whoalready would surround him with care
and love until you get there, Kimmy.
So why don't.
Did you have anything to addon that?
Well, no, that was so super sad.
But I hope that gives Kimmysome closure, that some knowing because
(13:11):
you've seen it before, you'veseen these things and.
He can feel her motherlywarmth towards him.
Absolutely.
So yes.
All right, we will move to the next.
Okay.
Hi, Allyson, Love your show.
This is Laura from Ontario, Canada.
I'm just calling in with thiscrazy experience I had several years
(13:34):
ago.
I was doing something my exboyfriend's living room.
And then all of a sudden thisvoice, and I could kind of see him
as well, came in into my head.
And we started.
He kept saying, you need tocall your sister.
And I was like, dude, like wehaven't talking talked in several
(13:56):
years.
We've been estranged.
And he's like, no, you have to.
And it was a back and forth.
And then all of a sudden theconversation disappeared.
And then a few hours later, Igot a call, or text rather, from
my oldest sister, saying thatmy little sister's partner had been
killed in a very tragic fourWheeling accident, that even the
(14:18):
cops were shaken up by it.
So I'm just wondering how didhe know to come to me, especially
when I didn't know or didn'ttalk to my sister.
And I'm just curious, what,what was he trying to.
Was there other message thathe wanted to tell me despite us getting
into a little bit of an argument?
(14:39):
Just great news.
I did reconnect with my littlesister several years ago and we're
best of friends now.
So thanks so much and lookingforward to your shows.
Okay.
I Love this Colin.
Laura.
So thank you for calling inthe boyfriend.
The little sister's boyfriendcame to Laura for two reasons.
(15:00):
One, because she's open, andhe would sense and know who would
be the easiest portal to comethrough to.
To carry on any messages orthat he's okay, that he's still here.
The other part to that is hecame through to reunite them because
he knew that his girlfriendwould need her sister and loved her
(15:22):
sister, because I'm sure theyhad many pillow talk conversations
about how much she missed her sister.
When we're on the other side,we see the silliness to some of the
arguments that we're in thatcost us time together.
But so fast, it would havebeen just minutes, right?
You know, even if it wasinstantly in that way.
(15:46):
Usually that will happen whensomebody dies tragically, so that
doesn't surprise me.
He died four wheeling.
This wasn't an expected death.
He wasn't in motion to bementally and physically learning
how to let go of his body and spiritually.
So he died so suddenly thathe's like, how can I get word to
(16:06):
my girlfriend that I'm okay sothat she doesn't worry that I'm still
here?
And so of course, he pickedher sister.
And so Laura happened to bethe one easiest to access, is that
what you're saying?
Yes, she was the easiest to access.
And we gain wisdom on theother side, there would have been
a sense of knowing that thisis an opportunity to reunite the
(16:27):
two and that his girlfriendreally would need her, her big sister.
So he reached out to her andachieved his goal because they ended
up becoming close again andare now thick as thieves.
And that would make him veryhappy to know that he was instrumental
in bringing them back together.
(16:47):
What I like is that Laura hadan argument with a ghost.
Joe, that's kind of funny.
I mean, why are you coming to me?
That's pretty cool on thebucket list there, right?
Oh, yeah.
You did that?
Well, I argued with a ghostand I won.
(17:09):
So, yeah, I think that'spretty funny.
And when he came through toher, did she say she was asleep or
was this while she was awake?
This is while she's awake.
So I only know from when yourdad would wake me up or keep me awake
that I would be annoyed sometimes.
So I was just trying to piecetogether and fill in the blanks of,
(17:30):
did he wake her up?
Was she tired?
Is that why she was annoyedthat he was there?
Because if you're just inmidday and in an aspir, like an Somebody.
Thank you.
Somebody appears to you, oryou're here, or just hearing somebody
talk in your mind, you'relike, why are you bothering me?
You're usually too distractedduring the day to actually for them
(17:53):
to be able to get your attention.
So I just.
I was just spitballing to seeif it was while.
While she was asleep or justwoken up.
It doesn't matter.
Anyways, I'm glad, Laura, thatyou and your sister are close again.
And I think both of youprobably had the conversation how
you'll never let something sosmall get in between the two of you
(18:15):
again.
But I also think it helpedLaura's sister feel some peace knowing
that he reached out throughher sister to let her know that he
was still here and that he's okay.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, that was a great story.
Are we going to the next one?
(18:36):
That's the plan.
All right.
Hi, Allison.
My question is about a visitation.
My name is Melissa, and I'mfrom Pennsylvania.
First, I wanted to tell youabout the number of times, though
I think that our lives have intersected.
I've always believed in andreceived signs.
So then when I found out aboutyou, I immediately read your book,
Don't Kiss Them Goodbye.
(18:57):
And then I found out that youwere coming to Philadelphia, so I
convinced some of my friendsto come with me, and we were able
to go into a group reading.
You actually called on me, andthen we got a picture with Joe.
I got my book signed by you.
I even got my picture with you.
And then around or near thattime, Diane Goldner.
(19:17):
I found out about her, so Idevoured off her books.
And then I attended a coursewith her in the Southamptons, and
she and I became friends.
I've done multiple healingswith her.
She is absolutely amazing.
So really happy that shejoined the Dead Life University.
And I was actually reallyshocked when I listened to your podcast
(19:41):
and heard her on there.
So I figured the two of youwould connect.
I should have known, actually,because you're such kindred spirits.
But I also watched your showMedium, and I've done a tarot reading
now with Margaret Jamison, andmy colleague just got me a whole
bunch of stuff from GrannyMagic for Christmas this year.
(20:01):
The only person I haven'treached out to yet is Tom.
I definitely need to schedulesomething with him, and I'm also
trying to find somebody who'sgoing to Arizona so they can bring
back some of your money vodkato me.
Anyway, I just want to thankyou for dedicating your life to what
you do.
You and Your family are trulyan inspiration.
And when I've mentioned you tosome people, they've tried warning
(20:21):
me about false prophets.
And while there may be somemediums out there who are not on
the up and up, as with anyprofession, I know that what you
do is truly a gift from God.
You know, how does somebodyspend the first part of their career
solving murders?
Then now, when I listen to youdo readings or I've watched you do
(20:41):
readings, I see that peoplelet go of the guilt and anguish they've
had from losing their loved ones.
And so to me, how can that beanything but a blessing?
So I also see that as a veryhealing thing, too.
So kind of, in a way, you're ahealer, too.
So I really appreciatedMelissa Culligan.
(21:05):
I know.
I love.
I love Melissa.
So first of all, shout out toPhilly, because Philadelphia is one
of my favorite cities, andthat's why I always toured there.
I just.
I love the people and the food is.
Forget about it.
It's so good.
And she.
She mentioned Diane Goldner.
And Diane's an amazing healerfor anybody out there that's learning.
(21:27):
She's a fantastic professor ofhealing at Dead University.
And Margaret Jamison is ourprofessor of Earth magic.
And yes, her store is amazing.
So check it out.
So that's grannymagic.com thereason I wanted to play Melissa's
is to address what some peoplewill still say, which just shocks
(21:49):
me in this day and age thatyou're still hearing it.
Because I've been doing thisprofessionally for 25 years.
And I remember in thebeginning it was a bit unsettling
to me that there were.
I just called them Biblethumpers at the time.
Yeah.
That think that what I do isdemonic or, you know, satanic in
(22:14):
some way.
And it's quite the opposite.
We're actually doing God'swork out there in the world, trying
to help people resuscitate theliving back to the living world so
that they don't die with theperson that they lost and die on
the inside and walk around asa zombie that's just going through
(22:34):
the motions of life.
So our work as mediums isincredibly important.
And I wanted to say this andtouch on this for all of the younger
mediums out there that arestill going to experience this.
And you could put yourself ina bubble and you can surround yourself
with spiritualists andeveryone who sees things the way
you see.
But I do like being olderbecause I have experienced the world
(23:00):
touring and the differentenergies of people, including I've
Learned lessons from those whotalk about false prophets, which
is why I had Father NathanCastle on my show and in my book
We Are Their Heaven, where heactually took part in the writing
(23:22):
of a chapter to addresspeople's religious questions about
psychics and mediums, whichare in the Bible by the way.
And what he had said is falseprophets that they spoke of were
the people that actuallyweren't prophetic, that didn't predict
(23:43):
things ahead of time, thatdidn't communicate with the dead,
that they were lying about it.
So that that doesn't mean thateverybody that's a psychic medium
lies about what they do.
That means there are peoplethat have existed that have done
that and any profession isgoing to have their percentage of
(24:04):
bad apples in the bunch.
And it happens.
However, I wanted to addressthis so that younger mediums understand
this information, so that whenthey are faced with it, they, they
recognize people who aretalking about false prophets need
to read the Bible a little bitmore closely.
Because the interpretation ofthe Catholic priest that I had on
(24:28):
my show at in We Are TheirHeaven laid it out very clearly.
And I would say that he issomebody who would be considered
an expert in the Bible andbiblical times and the meanings behind
what had been written.
Having him explain that reallydid help me.
And he pointed out multipleinstances in the Bible where Jesus
(24:57):
friends saw him after he died.
So that is no different thanwhat mediums do.
So it has been cataloged thatpeople like me have existed for all
time and we're not going away.
There's a new medium bornevery day.
So when it comes to the peoplethat are skeptical, I can handle
(25:19):
a skeptic who their skepticismis based on something more than repeating
something they heard fromsomeone else because they think that
argument's gonna work.
We've all learned that doesn't work.
After a while, people gettired of hearing it and they don't
listen to you and they tunedyou, tune you out.
Or if they're based in fear,there's a lot of reasons.
(25:40):
If there are people who areskeptical who actually want to find
answers and get to the bottomof it, I think that's healthy skepticism.
And I'm a hundred percent opento that.
It's the cynical people that Ihave no time for, people who just
want to name call.
I don't have time for that.
Your own family doesn't talkto you, obviously.
(26:00):
It's why people go online andsocial media and say things to strangers
that are famous because theirfamilies won't listen to them.
And I just Block and delete.
So just know if something getsposted, you're gone.
And I'm cool with that becausethat's how I keep my energy space
flowing.
But if somebody actually hasan intellectual question about mediumship
(26:22):
and psychic spirituality, I'mmore than happy to address those
questions.
Please feel free to call inwith those questions, and I will
do the research and I willfind answers for you because I think
it's important.
And I think the biggestbelievers in mediums are former skeptics.
(26:43):
Sure.
And I see those people all thetime who used to be a skeptic.
And I think a lot of skepticshaven't actually lost someone that
they love, so they don't havethe opinion, and they're not really
in a place to want to havethat communication.
Sure, there's people that havenot lost somebody, so they haven't
(27:04):
had a need for it.
But then there's people thathave lost somebody close, and they
get very resentful, and thenthey have their.
Well, yeah, that's true.
The big thing is the cynicstend to decide what they think you
do without even listening towhat you actually do.
And they're always wrong.
(27:26):
They think you're saying youdo something that's different than
what you.
Or they cherry pick and tryand create an argument to support
what they want to be true.
But we also had a lot of great conversations.
Remember Ann Gaiman and shehad the book the Priest in the medium?
And he was.
Yeah, he was a Jesuit priest,and he was very fascinating.
(27:47):
So it's not just one priestthat has said it.
There's been many.
Yes, well, he left thepriesthood for Anne.
What a lady.
Yeah, what a lady.
And she's a medium.
We spent time with both of them.
Lovely people.
Now passed, but very special couple.
Very, very special.
But while you were talkingabout it, I was thinking you should
(28:10):
assign homework to yourstudents at Dead University to make
them listen to the FatherNathan episode, and then you could
teach them.
But no, it was a.
It just.
It's truly fascinating becauseyou do have an expert, and it answers
a lot of questions that people have.
That's a good suggestion.
Okay.
A lot of questions people have.
Well, and people that actuallywant to know, from a Catholic priest
(28:32):
point of view, theinterpretation of the Bible, and
you're curious.
Please go back in my Dead Lifearchive of podcast episode episodes
and find the one with FatherNathan Castle, who also has his own
podcast, and listen to it.
Because I asked him all thequestions that most people have regarding
(28:54):
spiritualists and he answeredthem in such a smart and.
And warm way.
And I really appreciate thatabout him.
I've always said seeing theother side, interacting with the
dead, is actually the mosthuman thing in the world.
And animals see spirits moreeasily than us.
(29:15):
Babies and small children seethem because they haven't had time
in our physical world tobecome jaded, to become angry, resentful,
or to think that we're justsmarter than everyone else and we
have all the answers, whichwould be an unwise person that would
have that thought.
But I see them all the time.
(29:35):
So I did want to put that outthere so that Melissa has that information,
if her friends should evertalk about mediums in such a way
to know what they're basingthat on, because that is not in the
Bible.
They are talking about false prophets.
They are not talking aboutpeople who actually communicate with
(29:58):
the other side, which are alsodocumented everywhere throughout
history as existing.
Absolutely.
All right.
All right.
So now for Robert.
Allison.
My name is Robert Vanhouse.
I live in Beatty, Nevada.
(30:21):
You got my number there, I'm sure.
I've had.
I'm 79 years old and retired,maybe 25 years retired government.
Had my own company for aboutthree years.
Anyway, I live by myself nowin Beijing, Nevada, in an apartment.
And I've had some medium experiences.
(30:46):
The last one I had before Iwent in the hospital with kidney
problems, which they resolved,by the way, but before.
The last one I had was myfirst love, my first girlfriend.
Her name is Helen Thorsheim.
And I just said, helenThorsheim, please step forward.
(31:06):
And she did.
And so that was.
That really helped me a lot,but I can't.
But since then, I've not had any.
Had any more experiences.
And.
And I can't understand why.
I pray every night for God tokeep evil away from me.
(31:26):
Evil, like things in hereresembles evil.
Those exact words.
And I've not had any evilfaces coming out when I shut my eyes
or anything like that.
So I don't know why I'm notseeing any good spirits.
Maybe you can answer that sometime.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
(31:48):
Bye.
Okay.
I just love Robert, so, yeah,I wanted to include that.
And I love how he gives allthose details and.
And Helen, full name.
I'm surprised you didn't spellit for us.
Like, he provides details.
He came with the facts and the tea.
(32:08):
I love it so.
Well, I would have to ask hima question.
I would need to know if.
When he asked for her to stepforward to help him, because that
would calm him, had he alreadyBeen medicated to have for the procedure.
Was he on pain pills?
Like, was there something thatwould have temporarily shut down
(32:31):
his brain from thinking wherehe was spiritually more accessible?
Because that can make youspiritually more accessible.
It's just.
That makes sense being able toprocess it after the fact.
Which is why I tell mediums tobe make sure you're very sober when
you're doing readings, becauseotherwise, sometimes the information
(32:52):
can get disarrayed.
Yeah.
Moved around in ways that itwasn't meant to.
Why don't I see good spirits?
First of all, Robert, I alwayssay block any mischievous or negative
entities from coming near meor my family.
And that's my mantra.
Whenever I'm in a place whereI'm feeling some dark energy around
(33:18):
me or morose energy around meor my husband or children, and that
the other side, all the peoplethat I talk to and that care about
me, throw up a shield of protection.
And it works.
So I'm glad that him askingfor that is working.
I swear, it does work.
(33:39):
You don't have to have specialpowers out there.
You already had it all along,Dorothy, that that energy inside
of you, the other side alreadyfeels you, hears you.
And when you request that fromthe other side for protection, they.
They're just waiting for youto tell them what you need from them.
And they do it.
Why don't I see good spirits?
(34:00):
Kind of sounds like you'd liketo have a conversation with Helen
and a few other people fromthe past.
Right?
So the trick to being able tocommunicate, first of all, I find
a pad of paper and a box ofsharpened pencils.
Helpful pens don't work aswell for me.
It's the pencil lead.
Maybe because it's of nature.
Wood pencil, you know, that it's.
(34:22):
It's more connective somehowthan plastic, you know, like a plastic
pen.
So I always recommend thesharp pencils and scribbling side
by side.
It's called automatic writing.
And start writing theimpressions you get, Robert, when
you're trying to communicatewith Helen or anyone else, you'll
have images pop in your head.
(34:43):
You'll hear things, you knowthem straight up talking to you.
You'll get a feeling you'lltaste a chocolate milkshake.
They communicate through allof our senses.
That'll help.
But you need to be in a quietplace and in a very comfortable surrounding.
So a place with good energy,let's put it that way.
(35:06):
If you've got barking dogsrunning around that's distracting,
you're going to be hard to Reach.
You're not able to feeleverything if it's being sent out
in other directions for other things.
Children, same thing.
But Robert's 79, so it soundslike he probably has a pretty cozy
spot, cozy space around himwhere he can do this.
(35:29):
It has more to do withchanneling them through the center
of your chest.
Telling them you miss them,that you need them, and that you
still want them to be part ofyour life.
And that seems to be very keyin me helping people to connect with
the other side.
Telling them you want them tobe part of your life, because once
you welcome them in, it's sortof like opening the door to their
(35:50):
energy.
They show up.
That will help Robert to communicate.
And I know this is a hard ask,but you got to stay out of your head,
Robert, when you're trying tocommunicate to them.
Because in the physical world,we're used to going deep into, you
know, our intellectual core totry and communicate with them.
And that is not how they communicate.
(36:12):
They're emotionally basedbeings that communicate through places
of emotion to us is where thecommunication is brought through.
So in other words, if I'mfeeling like I miss my dad, I was
thinking of him today.
I'm like, I miss my dad.
I've gone to an emotionalplace in that center where I miss
(36:32):
him.
Now that I've gone to thatplace, I can say, dad, you know,
we just, you know, somethinggood happened in our life and I just
wanted.
I wanted you to know and Ijust needed to know you're here.
And the communication becomeseasier because I've.
I've made an emotionaldialogue with him.
Does that make sense to usecerebral over there?
(36:53):
I think so, yeah.
My brainiac.
It's hard to get our ego outof the way.
I mean, we think about what wethink about, and that's what our
whole world is.
And when you communicate withthe other side, from what I've seen
what you do, and then here andthere, I've had little glimpses of
it.
(37:13):
It's so hard to explain.
But you, you just kind of know it.
And don't dismiss those littlethings that normally we do well.
And I think a lot of peoplewill, in their head, try to think
really hard.
No, that makes it worse to communicate.
And it makes it worse when yousay to the other side, you know,
(37:36):
like, I'm open to channel.
I'm open to channel, like, I'mwelcoming you in.
I want you to be part of mylife and you maybe even share a memory.
Like, say Robert and Helenused to sneak into the drive in movies
or something.
And he's like, hey, Helen,remember when we go to the drive
(37:56):
ins?
And so.
And so had made the bestpopcorn in all of the state.
And then we shared a milkshake together.
And you and I, you know, wereally would have got in trouble
if our parents got us, youknow, something.
Something that was a happy memory.
And then you'll start to heara reply from them.
And so it's the start of theemotional dialogue.
(38:18):
It's got to be driven byemotion, not intellect.
And then not dismiss it.
Right.
I think a lot of people say,oh, well, I kind of thought that,
but that must have been methinking that.
And don't have preconceivednotions or run an agenda on them
of what you think they shouldsay, because then that's a function
of the mind.
Again, and you're missing the point.
It's not the function of the mind.
(38:39):
That's not where they communicate.
They communicate with our soul.
They communicate in ouremotional center.
Yeah, makes sense.
Makes sense.
I mean, you're anastrophysicist, so if you say I sound
like I'm laying it outplaying, that makes me happy.
Thank you.
Yes.
(38:59):
All right.
Well, thank you for your inputand for being my sounding board.
Thank you.
These are so much fun.
I really do enjoy it.
On such complicated call in questions.
Send me more complicated callin questions.
I like them because we have togo deep and I think it makes.
It's thought provoking and ittakes us in directions that maybe
(39:20):
we didn't anticipate going.
And I think that's a goodthing to keep the energy fresh on
the podcast.
