Speaker 4 (02:32):
So welcome Phil to the show.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Thank you, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Now let's kind of dive a little bit into your book,
Letting Glow. You kind of talk about your life and
kind of what brought you to write this book. Can
you give us a little bit of description, like how
did you come about this book?
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, so, yeah, the book came about essentially through most
immediately through my mom passing. It was the start of
twenty twenty one, and we'd just been through COVID, and
so we were kind of looking at the light at
the end of the tunnel and sort of thought that
we were.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
In the clear.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
And I would FaceTime with her all the time because
you know, various government restrictions and what have you.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And I was keeping weight, trying to do the right thing,
and I hadn't seen her in a couple of months.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
So on this particular night, I called her, and I
think it was probably the second or third time that
I spoke to her that day. She answered the call
and as she sort of leaned into the screen, there
was a man leaning in from the other side, and
I was kind of like, okay, well, who's that, right?
So we were in another lockdown. There shouldn't have been
anyone there, and it was quite late at night. Plus
she lived in a very rural place where I grew up,
(03:50):
a place called the Isle of Wight, so I kind
of knew all the neighbors. And we don't have any family,
so there shouldn't have been anyone there. And this guy
leaned in and I saw him long enough that I
could recognize him. He had thin gray hair, glasses, looked
like late sixties or something like that, and, like I say,
I was kind of taken aback, and she sort of
moved away to sit down and I said, well, I said, well,
who's that? And she said who's what? And I was like, okay,
(04:12):
well the guy, you know, I just saw somebody. And
she was like no, no, no, there's there's no one here.
And I kind of grilled on it and I was like, okay.
So I was like, mom, I just saw somebody, Like
who's the guy, you know? And she she had no
idea what I was talking about, and you know, she
started sort of complaining about her day and and I
could always tell, like, when there was somebody with her,
her whole demeanor would change. She would start speaking a
(04:34):
lot more politely, and it was hard to have a
conversation with her on the phone. If there was something
with her, someone with her, she would put on all
these airs and graces and what have you, And she
wasn't doing any of that. And I thought, all right, well,
I must have been mistaken.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
It just didn't sort of sit right in my head,
even though I'd definitely seen the guy and we spoke
for another forty five minutes, and I thought, okay, well
that that's you know, I don't know what that was.
And next morning I woke up to a phone call
from the neighbor that she'd had a heart attack and
passed away. So yeah, so, you know, of course my
(05:09):
mind went straight to that, but you know, dealing with
the whole shock of losing her and going through the
grieving process, it wasn't kind of my main thing that
I was thinking about, but it was at the back
of my mind.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I was like, well, well, what was that then? Was that?
You know, are we talking spirit guides? Are we talking ghosts?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like what?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
And I must admitted like at that point, I wasn't
really into any of this stuff. I'd kind of it
was interested as a teenager, but then like you know,
sort of got very practical as I grow older, and yeah,
this just kind of took me straight back there, right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, because this wasn't your first experience as you had
someone as you were younger too, but you just kind
of blew them off, correct.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, that's it. You know.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
So like when I was younger, I remember when we
moved into this the same house, and I mean it
wasn't an old house or anythink it was. It was
built in the eighties, and I remember stuff happening around
the house, like like little things like cans. I remember
a coke cam moving across the table, and things were
switching on and off. There was like banging in the attic.
But I was like, you know, ten, twelve years old,
(06:14):
and as I got older, I thought, well, you know,
probably maybe those things didn't happen. It was just you know,
my you know, imagination. When I was when I was
a teenager, I came across this book on astral projection,
and I remember.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Just trying to invoke it.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
You know, I just thought, well, that sounds really cool
that you'd get to float out of your body or
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Know what that was done.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
And I remember that like I tried it and pretty
much like immediately like had this separation. And I remember
like one of the things that really got me about it,
which it hadn't mentioned in this little book that i'd read,
and it was more like a pamphlet, to be honest,
it wasn't really a book, was. I remember feeling this
(06:55):
sensation of floating up and being on the bed at
the same time. But what I wasn't counting on was
I suddenly had a third perspective, like from the side
of the room, so I could see myself on the
bed above the bed, and all of a sudden, I
was watching all this from the side of the room,
which at like fourteen or whatever, I was just completely
through me, you know, just I wasn't prepared for that,
and I just like snapped myself out of it and
(07:18):
never tried it again, you know. And then again as
I got older, I thought, well.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Did it happen or didn't it?
Speaker 6 (07:24):
So yeah, you know, just around my mum passing, it
just really kind of opened all these questions back up again, Like,
you know, I dismissed this guy on the call. And
if if i'd have, if i'd have been looking at
it our how I look at things now since exploring
all this, I would have gone straight down there, you know,
I would have been like, Okay, that's that's a clear
(07:45):
sign that something's up here, and I would have gone
straight to her.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
But I didn't, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
So it really, yeah, just just made me sort of
open the floodgates to exploring spiritual practices and then really
concentrating on mediumship.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Right, And that's and that's what you've been doing.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And now in your book you talk about your experiences,
you talk about your life, and then you also have
some little inserts in there about like meditation, have different
kind of like training, you know, for beginners or things
like that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Correct.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Yeah, So as as I started writing it, I mean
it was a few months and and I'm sort of
given the whole away here, but but well.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
There's a lot, what there's a lot in that.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
So a couple of months after my mom had passed,
I wandered past this this spiritual church, spiritualist churche, and
I never I didn't know these that these were a
thing that there are many of them around around the
UK and especially in London. And I saw that, like
on a Sunday evening, they had a demonstration of mediumship
(08:53):
and I was like, Okay, well let's go check this out,
you know, since I was kind of heading in that
direction and reading up on things like that. And I
showed up on this Sunday. I didn't know anybody there, nobody,
you know that no one knew was coming or anything
like that. And there was a lady there and she
was she was kind of and I went in kind
of skeptical, even though I was hoping that, you know,
(09:15):
I wanted to hear from my mum, right.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
She was kind of working a way around the congregation.
There was maybe fifteen twenty people there, and she was
getting affirmation after affirmation, and as she went on, I
was thinking, well, this, this seems like legit, right, you know.
She was telling people places, describing houses, describing people, and
pretty much ninety percent of the people were.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Saying yeah, yeah, yeah, got it.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
And then she got to me and she started talking
about me being a medium straight away.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
She was talking about me being this voice for spirit.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
And it was around that time that I was thinking
about starting to write this book and looking into reamship
and all through missing my mum at the end of
the day. Yeah, and I was like, well, I haven't
told anyone this, you know this, and she just went
straight to it. And and then she started talking about
a friend of mine that had passed. It took me
a while to sort of realize who she was talking about,
(10:08):
and then it all fell into place. And then and
then she got to my mom. And the deciding factor
for me was her accent changed. So this lady had
like a very strong London accent and then all of
a sudden it just switched to this sort of Northern
English accent. It was my mum's accent. And just you know,
lump in my foat heart was racing. I was like,
(10:29):
I mean, and that really changed everything I have to say.
And yeah, very much sent me down this path of
learning about mediumship.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's that's awesome that you talked about that the lady,
you said, the woman her accents changed. I had been
I actually had been to an event and I watched
a gentleman who was a medium and he would change
his accents too, but he also did animals, like if
he was connecting with somebody's pet.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It was the unique thing I have ever seen. I've
never seen anyone else do that. Yeah, I mean I
have never done anything like that. Have you Have you
tried anything like that?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Have you come across or you come out with a
different accent or anything like that.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I mean it's kind of early days. I say early days.
I mean I've probably been doing this. Maybe what are
we on now, like get into the two years.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Two year market something like that.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So since the books release, I haven't really been actively
into it as much as I practicing as much as
I should be, but it's just been around, you know,
promoting the book and what have you.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
But yeah, until then, it was, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I would get to the point of seeing somebody being
able to describe somebody get in a message and then
and then I'm pretty much done. But so far, I
mean it sounds a bit grand us, but so far,
one hundred percent success rate. But when I say one
hundred percent success rate is that I'm still you know,
few people. It's not like done readings or anything. There's
(12:00):
plenty of room verra still but but yeah, you know,
and and it's just been amazing. I'm like, Okay, well,
I know I don't know those things, you know, and
to have somebody sit there and confirm it, like, yeah,
that sounds like my dad, or that sounds like my grandma,
and you know, some off the wall things that I've
been telling them, you know that I've been like, Okay,
I don't know if this makes sense, but you know orangutangs,
and they're like, yeah, Orangutang's gotcha.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Now, when you're out and about, do you ever pick
up on anything just randomly? Or do you get overwhelmed
with energies or anything like that?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Yeah, I definitely do. I think we've we spoke about this,
didn't we earlier? Like, yeah, I've just moved to a
new place and it's kind of straight across the road
from a train station, and I feel like I would
always take a shortcut through there. There's like an alleyway
and you can get straight into the town. And within
a few weeks, every time I'd leave the house in
a good mood. And then and then ten minutes later,
(12:54):
I'm just like stressed out to hell. I'm like, well,
what's going on?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
And I think you pointed out, you know, you said, well, yeah,
you just so many people. You just walking through the
train station and people are rushing here and they're going
to work, and yeah, and I've pretty much been avoiding
it at all costs.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Now, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Hear you on that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I have such a hard time with large groups. We
have a thing called Iowa State Fair here and.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
It's this huge fair, you know, and there was like.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What over one hundred thousand people there the day I went,
and so I was just I was literally overwhelmed because
there's you know, there's.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
So many different energies and moods and things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It does take a toll on you, and it does
drain you if you think about it, if you really.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Kind to think about it. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
No, it's kind of odd that I've sort of come
to this since moving to London. I've only I've been
here about five or six years now, and yeah, I've
really you know, I sort of found this practice of
like you say, meditation and sort of you know, sort
of going within and trying to in that quiet space.
And ironically I've just moved to like one of the
busiest cities in the world.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
To do it. But yeah, right, but it kind of works.
I suppose I probably you probably need it in a
place like this.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Oh, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's one thing though, I think we talked about this too,
is that I have a hard time I've been trying.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
To do meditations mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
But like I said, I am a very high strung,
energetic person and it's hard to get my brain to
you know, slow down and shut off enough for me
to just focus on like a quiet space.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Do you have any.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
I mean I've got in all honesty, I've I mean,
you know, talking about being a meditation teacher, like what
I've learned about you know. I mean I learned about
it some years ago when I trained to be a
personal trainer, but that was kind of more of a
sort of practical physical kind of directive. But yeah, I
would say that, you know, absolute learning about mediumship, that
(15:01):
the meditation is the is the key to open the door, right,
And yeah, I mean I struggle with it still, you know,
to just set aside that and it's not for me.
I think it's just sort of procrastination, a little bit
of laziness.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I'll just think, well, I've got to do this, and
I've got to.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Do that, and all these little things pop up and
then you realize you haven't meditated like you plan to.
But I'm trusting that that that's just personally at the
moment for me, I'm trusting that this is just part
of my journey maybe right now supposed to take a
little break and practice and concentrate on practical things.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
And I trust that I'm coming back to it soon.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
But yeah, it's it's you know, I think meditation itself,
I don't struggle with it, like with it. I did
a talk recently at a festival here Yea, and it
was one of the first times I had that actual
group of people show up, like maybe fifty so many
people or something, which and I was like, okay, well,
yeah it was it was great. Yeah, And then we
(16:00):
did this meditation and I kind of made the point
of it about, you know, embracing the distractions.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
So we were at this festival.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
There was a lot of noise around us and people
going by and music and stuff like that, and and
I sort of kind of, you know, I think you
can use that to sort of place yourself in the moment.
You know, you don't have to worry about Okay, well
I can't meditate because there's a dog barking or there's
there's traffic outside or something like that, you can kind
of like use it to just be here now. And
I think that's also a really important part of it,
(16:29):
is just being in this moment where we are and
just being you know, completely aware of yourself and then
always just bring it back to the breath. You know,
when your mind starts wondering and it will then just
bring it back to the breath. And Yeah, I've noticed
huge benefits in.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
My own life through meditating. I just need to do
more of it.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Life too. I need to learn how to slow it
down a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
But yeah, it's hard when you get you know.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Crazy busy life and I know you dougle things and
you're also an actor and I don't know how I
missed you in Flash.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I mean I remember that scene.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I very missed me and Flash. Yeah, I almost missed
me in Flash. Yeah. No, it's when I say act,
so I'm using the word very loosely. Yeah, but yeah,
a few I'm not.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It's not really something I'm pursuing now since writing the book. Attention,
It's one hundred percent there, right, And there are definitely
a lot of egos on film sets, and that's kind
of not. Yeah, it's not the direction I really want
to go anymore. And it was a funny thing because
because I've lived abroad for twenty years, came back to
the UK in my forties and I thought, well, let's
start over. What would I really want to do if
(17:40):
I had could do anything?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
And I thought, as a kid, I was just obsessed
with movies, and acting seemed like the logical way to
get into it because I don't have any experience as
a director or any schooling or anything. And very quickly
start again, like a few small parts and like a
few lines. But it was literally I'll be the you know,
the the guy that walks in and tells a king
that we need more men and then walk.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Out and then that's it. That's my that's and then
it gets cut so it doesn't you see the back
of my head leaving or something. So but you know,
you get paid for it. But yeah, it's kind of
that's kind of been the journey.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
A few lines here and there, some great experiences, but
I got to admit, when I saw myself on TV
or the cinema or something, I was like, oh, okay, great,
now what you know? It was the big revelation I
thought it was going to be and it was like, okay,
there's there's me.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
So yeah, so I didn't really I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
I shouldn't say it too much because I've got an
agent and I will accept the work, but it's not
really my main focus.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Okay, yeah, no, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I saw that you had posted that, so I'm like, okay,
I'm like, I remember that scene.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
But it was like, yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I think that's exciting.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I mean, yeah, I mean that was cool. That was cool.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I mean I was really happy about that because I
shouldn't give away any spoilers, but one of my you know,
childhood heroes were a couple of them were in that movie.
So I was like, even though I'm in it for
a second, like that's cool, man.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I was.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I was in that.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I never thought that would happen.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Now you said you're focusing on your book, and I
know we have talked about this.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Do you do you have another book? I can't remember.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, like after writing the first one, you know,
I wasn't like in any hurry with it. I wasn't
sure what I was even going to do with it.
I sent it to a few publishers and just to.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Get a response.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But I felt like I'd learned so much that you
know that when I by the time I finished it,
I was kind of like, Okay, I've got way more
to talk about, you know, So it went a lot
deeper called the second book, Glowing Deeper, is out in January,
and it just kind of really dives in a lot,
a lot heavier than sort of the surface level. I
would say, Letting Glow is kind of like a soft
(19:56):
introduction to spiritual if you know, going through some sort
of spiritual awakening and also grief.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
You know, it kind of deals with those things.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
And then book two really goes into you know, some
out there metaphysical topics like you know, time being nonlinear
and all that kind of fun stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, that sounds pretty cool now.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I know you've talked about, you know, when you're like
a teenager, you did the astral projection and things like that.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Do you think you'll ever try it again?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I would like I sort of, yeah, I would like
to try it again.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It's not been something that I've really that specifically hasn't
been something that.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I've really tried.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
In the last couple of years, I've been more sort
of concerned about connecting with.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Guides and learn who they are.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
And yeah, I guess initially, like I say, the main
thing was that I was like, Okay, I still want
to speak to my mom, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
So yeah, astral projection, Yeah, I'd like to look more
into it as Yes, definitely another area I'd like to explore. Yeah,
maybe I should sort of start concentrating on that, on
that next there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
No, I have never I have never tried it. I
do have. The only thing I have is I do
recently dream a lot about it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like decease people not people, I mean, these people have
been gone. Like my grandmother, she's been gone for years.
Never dreamt about her. She died when I was in
middle school. A couple of years ago. She came to
me in a dream and I still remember it. Yeah,
and I've also had people, but I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
No are decease that come to me. Have you ever
had any of that?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
I don't think so. But there is something, you know.
I was waking up and just going back to my
mom again. I haven't dreamt about her for a while,
but I remember waking up the other morning and it
was almost like her voice was on a radio and
she was talking, but I couldn't understand what she was
talking about, and it was so clearly her voice, you know,
like dreams can be so you know, more powerful than
(22:06):
I sort of waken imagination I think when you're sort
of recalling, especially people that have passed it. And it
was her, and I sort of took from that. I
was like, all right, that kind of makes sense. Like
I was saying, I haven't been concentrating on meditating. I
haven't really like lately, I've kind of got swept up
and talking about the book to people, and that almost
felt like, okay, that let's just say that was her,
(22:28):
and you know, that's kind of a good sort of
point of like I'm not quite connecting at the moment.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
You know, she's around, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dreams.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
I was just I just think, you know, just trust it,
and that seems to be the key as well.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You know, I've.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Actually been starting to keep a log about the different
dreams because one of them, and I don't know why,
I mean, I've known this, I knew this kid that
looked out by me. I went to school with them,
and he died during COVID I don't know from what
mm hmm. But then within the last couple of years,
(23:08):
I had a dream right before I was going on
an investigation and he showed up there with another acquaintance,
a girl I knew from school. I wasn't really you know,
close to or anything, but they were both.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
There and I'm like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And he's like, I don't know, tell me, and she
never said anything, she just stood there. And then earlier
this year I had another dream that he called.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
And he said he he needed my help, but I,
you know, I don't know what for, that's all he said.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Have no idea.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I've been writing this stuff down to see if anything,
you know, connects at.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Some point, But yeah, have you thought of like actively
sort of like trying to contact him, Like just I haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm afraid because I channel and I'm not like I
it's not something that I mean to do.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Like if I'm on an investigation, sometimes I may get
so focused into something that I start picking up things
that may not actually be in that location, they could
be anywhere, and then I go into.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
This kind of weird trance like state. Then I have
to have a more experienced medium that I know.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, get me out of it.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm still trying to learn how to keep that all
in check. Yeah before I try to actually.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Contact you know, someone, Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely,
And I'm actually talking of trance. I think that's that's
that's actually the sort of path I would like to
explore more. I feel that the second book that I
wrote was definitely I mean, it turns into a conversation
at some point, and I was like, hey, well, I'm
(25:01):
either just chanting away to myself here, or this is
an active conversation, you know. And I feel that, like
when I re read back on it afterwards, I was like, yeah, okay,
I didn't I didn't write that. That's way smarter than me,
you know, with that stuff. So yeah, that that seems
to be like the direction on hopefully going. Yeah, I'd
(25:21):
like to actively sort of try and sit in chance
that would be interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's it's interesting, I you know, and I never knew
that I was actually going into this.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I would usually.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Wake up in the grass being grounded, you know, and
things or they would be saving me or what have you.
And so I asked them, I said, next time I
do this. Can somebody please record me?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Yeah? Absolutely, see what it's like.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
M and I am a completely different person, like my
amazing She says that sometimes my eyes will turn black,
my voice will change. And it took three or four people,
I guess one time to actually get me out outside.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
But how long did it last for it varies.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Sometimes it's like ten fifteen minutes. At this last time,
it took him almost an hour.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Like I was literally standing out in the middle of
the scratch, I guess, with this like blank slate across
my face, like not even coexisting in their realm or something. Yeah,
but it was very interesting to see it on film
because my eyes were like kind of rolled back.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, And then.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
You could hear my recorder next to me, and the
girl who was filming you couldn't hear it on her phone,
but you could hear it in my recorder, these three
loud breaths. And as soon as those three loud breaths
came on there, I kind of started coming to and
I was like sobbing.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
What the three breaths were.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
We're not really sure if it was something that was
leave that area of me or something that was trying
to attach I don't know it.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
It's very strange. So yeah, if you go into it,
just be careful. I mean, I'm just not the same
for everybody.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
But that sounds fascinating. Yeah, I've only I've only ex
I shouldn't this is all.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
I shouldn't sort of make comment on this when I'm
going to So I've only ever experienced it once with
a guy when I was sitting in a circle. So
my regular circle is on hiatus, so I've just been
sort of going to random ones, open circles, and I remember,
you know, you never know what you get, right, There's
there's some random people there and one guy, English guy,
(27:44):
like an older gentleman. He just suddenly switched to this
I would say Southeastern Asian accent.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I'm not sure, but and he kind of.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Sort of took on the demeanor of like a little
old man and and and it was like I was like, well,
this is interesting. It was it was, I hate to say,
it was almost funny like and he was kind of
giving me all this advice.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
But I mean, you know, why not.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
You know, I'm not in any position to say that
he wasn't channeling an old Chinese man, but yeah, he
went full full method, you know, but to the point
that the teacher actually they said it had to be
like okay, yeah, it's not now like we we need
to do something else.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, but it was interesting interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah. I can't wait
to get to read your next book.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I've read your other one a couple of times, so
oh thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah, absolutely, I found it very intriguing. I'll have to
try some of your techniques for the meditation in there.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Now. Your books are available on Amazon, and John Hutt's
publishing has changed.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Correct, Yeah, they've changed.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Then.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
He hasn't sent it to me yet.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Is it Collective Collective Inc? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
I just had another goal on last night who was
on the same publishing, so okay, yeah, that's why I'm like.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
He hasn't sent me that information.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Yet, so yeah, I still forget that.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I've got to call it Collective Ink now as well.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
But yeah, they're actually just to plug them a little bit.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
They're currently having a fifty percent sale on all ebooks,
so yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:23):

to get a hold of you about anything.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I mean, you have your wetting blow on Instagram, you
have your face.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, I've got I've got a website Philwebster dot
com filled with two l's, and yeah, I've had a
few people. There's a contact form on there. I've had
a few people getting in touch, a few people asking
for readings, which.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Yeah, but yeah, some people have just been telling me
about their experiences, which I found really interesting. And one
thing I'll talk about in the book is kind of
an awakening, sort of being misdiagnosed as like a psychotic
break and I've been quite overwhelmed at how many people
have reached out about that, that they've been through something similar.
(30:23):
They thought they were going nuts and it turned out
they were just kind of, you know, waking up. Like
but yeah, I'd love.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
To hear from people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
The website and then Instagram is pretty much my most
active place.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Now let's kind of dive a little bit into your book,
Letting Glow. You kind of talk about your life and
kind of what brought you to write this book. Can
you give us a little bit of description, like how
did you come about this book?
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, so, yeah, the book came about essentially through most
immediately through my mom passing. It was the start of
twenty twenty one, and we'd just been through COVID, and
so we were kind of looking at the light at
the end of the tunnel and sort of thought that
we were.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
In the clear.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
And I would FaceTime with her all the time because
you know, various government restrictions and what have you.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And I was keeping weight, trying to do the right thing,
and I hadn't seen her in a couple of months.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
So on this particular night, I called her, and I
think it was probably the second or third time that
I spoke to her that day. She answered the call
and as she sort of leaned into the screen, there
was a man leaning in from the other side, and
I was kind of like, okay, well, who's that, right?
So we were in another lockdown. There shouldn't have been
anyone there, and it was quite late at night. Plus
she lived in a very rural place where I grew up,
(03:50):
a place called the Isle of Wight, so I kind
of knew all the neighbors. And we don't have any family,
so there shouldn't have been anyone there. And this guy
leaned in and I saw him long enough that I
could recognize him. He had thin gray hair, glasses, looked
like late sixties or something like that, and, like I say,
I was kind of taken aback, and she sort of
moved away to sit down and I said, well, I said, well,
who's that? And she said who's what? And I was like, okay,
(04:12):
well the guy, you know, I just saw somebody. And
she was like no, no, no, there's there's no one here.
And I kind of grilled on it and I was like, okay.
So I was like, mom, I just saw somebody, Like
who's the guy, you know? And she she had no
idea what I was talking about, and you know, she
started sort of complaining about her day and and I
could always tell, like, when there was somebody with her,
her whole demeanor would change. She would start speaking a
(04:34):
lot more politely, and it was hard to have a
conversation with her on the phone. If there was something
with her, someone with her, she would put on all
these airs and graces and what have you, And she
wasn't doing any of that. And I thought, all right, well,
I must have been mistaken.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
It just didn't sort of sit right in my head,
even though I'd definitely seen the guy and we spoke
for another forty five minutes, and I thought, okay, well
that that's you know, I don't know what that was.
And next morning I woke up to a phone call
from the neighbor that she'd had a heart attack and
passed away. So yeah, so, you know, of course my
(05:09):
mind went straight to that, but you know, dealing with
the whole shock of losing her and going through the
grieving process, it wasn't kind of my main thing that
I was thinking about, but it was at the back
of my mind.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I was like, well, well, what was that then? Was that?
You know, are we talking spirit guides? Are we talking ghosts?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like what?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
And I must admitted like at that point, I wasn't
really into any of this stuff. I'd kind of it
was interested as a teenager, but then like you know,
sort of got very practical as I grow older, and yeah,
this just kind of took me straight back there, right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, because this wasn't your first experience as you had
someone as you were younger too, but you just kind
of blew them off, correct.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, that's it. You know.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
So like when I was younger, I remember when we
moved into this the same house, and I mean it
wasn't an old house or anythink it was. It was
built in the eighties, and I remember stuff happening around
the house, like like little things like cans. I remember
a coke cam moving across the table, and things were
switching on and off. There was like banging in the attic.
But I was like, you know, ten, twelve years old,
(06:14):
and as I got older, I thought, well, you know,
probably maybe those things didn't happen. It was just you know,
my you know, imagination. When I was when I was
a teenager, I came across this book on astral projection,
and I remember.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Just trying to invoke it.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
You know, I just thought, well, that sounds really cool
that you'd get to float out of your body or
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Know what that was done.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
And I remember that like I tried it and pretty
much like immediately like had this separation. And I remember
like one of the things that really got me about it,
which it hadn't mentioned in this little book that i'd read,
and it was more like a pamphlet, to be honest,
it wasn't really a book, was. I remember feeling this
(06:55):
sensation of floating up and being on the bed at
the same time. But what I wasn't counting on was
I suddenly had a third perspective, like from the side
of the room, so I could see myself on the
bed above the bed, and all of a sudden, I
was watching all this from the side of the room,
which at like fourteen or whatever, I was just completely
through me, you know, just I wasn't prepared for that,
and I just like snapped myself out of it and
(07:18):
never tried it again, you know. And then again as
I got older, I thought, well.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Did it happen or didn't it?
Speaker 6 (07:24):
So yeah, you know, just around my mum passing, it
just really kind of opened all these questions back up again, Like,
you know, I dismissed this guy on the call. And
if if i'd have, if i'd have been looking at
it our how I look at things now since exploring
all this, I would have gone straight down there, you know,
I would have been like, Okay, that's that's a clear
(07:45):
sign that something's up here, and I would have gone
straight to her.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
But I didn't, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
So it really, yeah, just just made me sort of
open the floodgates to exploring spiritual practices and then really
concentrating on mediumship.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Right, And that's and that's what you've been doing.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And now in your book you talk about your experiences,
you talk about your life, and then you also have
some little inserts in there about like meditation, have different
kind of like training, you know, for beginners or things
like that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Correct.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Yeah, So as as I started writing it, I mean
it was a few months and and I'm sort of
given the whole away here, but but well.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
There's a lot, what there's a lot in that.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
So a couple of months after my mom had passed,
I wandered past this this spiritual church, spiritualist churche, and
I never I didn't know these that these were a
thing that there are many of them around around the
UK and especially in London. And I saw that, like
on a Sunday evening, they had a demonstration of mediumship
(08:53):
and I was like, Okay, well let's go check this out,
you know, since I was kind of heading in that
direction and reading up on things like that. And I
showed up on this Sunday. I didn't know anybody there, nobody,
you know that no one knew was coming or anything
like that. And there was a lady there and she
was she was kind of and I went in kind
of skeptical, even though I was hoping that, you know,
(09:15):
I wanted to hear from my mum, right.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
She was kind of working a way around the congregation.
There was maybe fifteen twenty people there, and she was
getting affirmation after affirmation, and as she went on, I
was thinking, well, this, this seems like legit, right, you know.
She was telling people places, describing houses, describing people, and
pretty much ninety percent of the people were.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Saying yeah, yeah, yeah, got it.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
And then she got to me and she started talking
about me being a medium straight away.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
She was talking about me being this voice for spirit.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
And it was around that time that I was thinking
about starting to write this book and looking into reamship
and all through missing my mum at the end of
the day. Yeah, and I was like, well, I haven't
told anyone this, you know this, and she just went
straight to it. And and then she started talking about
a friend of mine that had passed. It took me
a while to sort of realize who she was talking about,
(10:08):
and then it all fell into place. And then and
then she got to my mom. And the deciding factor
for me was her accent changed. So this lady had
like a very strong London accent and then all of
a sudden it just switched to this sort of Northern
English accent. It was my mum's accent. And just you know,
lump in my foat heart was racing. I was like,
(10:29):
I mean, and that really changed everything I have to say.
And yeah, very much sent me down this path of
learning about mediumship.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's that's awesome that you talked about that the lady,
you said, the woman her accents changed. I had been
I actually had been to an event and I watched
a gentleman who was a medium and he would change
his accents too, but he also did animals, like if
he was connecting with somebody's pet.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It was the unique thing I have ever seen. I've
never seen anyone else do that. Yeah, I mean I
have never done anything like that. Have you Have you
tried anything like that?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Have you come across or you come out with a
different accent or anything like that.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I mean it's kind of early days. I say early days.
I mean I've probably been doing this. Maybe what are
we on now, like get into the two years.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Two year market something like that.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So since the books release, I haven't really been actively
into it as much as I practicing as much as
I should be, but it's just been around, you know,
promoting the book and what have you.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
But yeah, until then, it was, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I would get to the point of seeing somebody being
able to describe somebody get in a message and then
and then I'm pretty much done. But so far, I
mean it sounds a bit grand us, but so far,
one hundred percent success rate. But when I say one
hundred percent success rate is that I'm still you know,
few people. It's not like done readings or anything. There's
(12:00):
plenty of room verra still but but yeah, you know,
and and it's just been amazing. I'm like, Okay, well,
I know I don't know those things, you know, and
to have somebody sit there and confirm it, like, yeah,
that sounds like my dad, or that sounds like my grandma,
and you know, some off the wall things that I've
been telling them, you know that I've been like, Okay,
I don't know if this makes sense, but you know orangutangs,
and they're like, yeah, Orangutang's gotcha.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Now, when you're out and about, do you ever pick
up on anything just randomly? Or do you get overwhelmed
with energies or anything like that?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Yeah, I definitely do. I think we've we spoke about this,
didn't we earlier? Like, yeah, I've just moved to a
new place and it's kind of straight across the road
from a train station, and I feel like I would
always take a shortcut through there. There's like an alleyway
and you can get straight into the town. And within
a few weeks, every time I'd leave the house in
a good mood. And then and then ten minutes later,
(12:54):
I'm just like stressed out to hell. I'm like, well,
what's going on?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
And I think you pointed out, you know, you said, well, yeah,
you just so many people. You just walking through the
train station and people are rushing here and they're going
to work, and yeah, and I've pretty much been avoiding
it at all costs.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Now, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Hear you on that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I have such a hard time with large groups. We
have a thing called Iowa State Fair here and.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
It's this huge fair, you know, and there was like.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What over one hundred thousand people there the day I went,
and so I was just I was literally overwhelmed because
there's you know, there's.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
So many different energies and moods and things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It does take a toll on you, and it does
drain you if you think about it, if you really.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Kind to think about it. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
No, it's kind of odd that I've sort of come
to this since moving to London. I've only I've been
here about five or six years now, and yeah, I've
really you know, I sort of found this practice of
like you say, meditation and sort of you know, sort
of going within and trying to in that quiet space.
And ironically I've just moved to like one of the
busiest cities in the world.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
To do it. But yeah, right, but it kind of works.
I suppose I probably you probably need it in a
place like this.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Oh, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's one thing though, I think we talked about this too,
is that I have a hard time I've been trying.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
To do meditations mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
But like I said, I am a very high strung,
energetic person and it's hard to get my brain to
you know, slow down and shut off enough for me
to just focus on like a quiet space.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Do you have any.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
I mean I've got in all honesty, I've I mean,
you know, talking about being a meditation teacher, like what
I've learned about you know. I mean I learned about
it some years ago when I trained to be a
personal trainer, but that was kind of more of a
sort of practical physical kind of directive. But yeah, I
would say that, you know, absolute learning about mediumship, that
(15:01):
the meditation is the is the key to open the door, right,
And yeah, I mean I struggle with it still, you know,
to just set aside that and it's not for me.
I think it's just sort of procrastination, a little bit
of laziness.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I'll just think, well, I've got to do this, and
I've got to.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Do that, and all these little things pop up and
then you realize you haven't meditated like you plan to.
But I'm trusting that that that's just personally at the
moment for me, I'm trusting that this is just part
of my journey maybe right now supposed to take a
little break and practice and concentrate on practical things.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
And I trust that I'm coming back to it soon.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
But yeah, it's it's you know, I think meditation itself,
I don't struggle with it, like with it. I did
a talk recently at a festival here Yea, and it
was one of the first times I had that actual
group of people show up, like maybe fifty so many
people or something, which and I was like, okay, well,
yeah it was it was great. Yeah, And then we
(16:00):
did this meditation and I kind of made the point
of it about, you know, embracing the distractions.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
So we were at this festival.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
There was a lot of noise around us and people
going by and music and stuff like that, and and
I sort of kind of, you know, I think you
can use that to sort of place yourself in the moment.
You know, you don't have to worry about Okay, well
I can't meditate because there's a dog barking or there's
there's traffic outside or something like that, you can kind
of like use it to just be here now. And
I think that's also a really important part of it,
(16:29):
is just being in this moment where we are and
just being you know, completely aware of yourself and then
always just bring it back to the breath. You know,
when your mind starts wondering and it will then just
bring it back to the breath. And Yeah, I've noticed
huge benefits in.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
My own life through meditating. I just need to do
more of it.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Life too. I need to learn how to slow it
down a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
But yeah, it's hard when you get you know.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Crazy busy life and I know you dougle things and
you're also an actor and I don't know how I
missed you in Flash.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I mean I remember that scene.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I very missed me and Flash. Yeah, I almost missed
me in Flash. Yeah. No, it's when I say act,
so I'm using the word very loosely. Yeah, but yeah,
a few I'm not.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It's not really something I'm pursuing now since writing the book. Attention,
It's one hundred percent there, right, And there are definitely
a lot of egos on film sets, and that's kind
of not. Yeah, it's not the direction I really want
to go anymore. And it was a funny thing because
because I've lived abroad for twenty years, came back to
the UK in my forties and I thought, well, let's
start over. What would I really want to do if
(17:40):
I had could do anything?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
And I thought, as a kid, I was just obsessed
with movies, and acting seemed like the logical way to
get into it because I don't have any experience as
a director or any schooling or anything. And very quickly
start again, like a few small parts and like a
few lines. But it was literally I'll be the you know,
the the guy that walks in and tells a king
that we need more men and then walk.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Out and then that's it. That's my that's and then
it gets cut so it doesn't you see the back
of my head leaving or something. So but you know,
you get paid for it. But yeah, it's kind of
that's kind of been the journey.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
A few lines here and there, some great experiences, but
I got to admit, when I saw myself on TV
or the cinema or something, I was like, oh, okay, great,
now what you know? It was the big revelation I
thought it was going to be and it was like, okay,
there's there's me.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
So yeah, so I didn't really I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
I shouldn't say it too much because I've got an
agent and I will accept the work, but it's not
really my main focus.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Okay, yeah, no, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I saw that you had posted that, so I'm like, okay,
I'm like, I remember that scene.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
But it was like, yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I think that's exciting.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I mean, yeah, I mean that was cool. That was cool.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I mean I was really happy about that because I
shouldn't give away any spoilers, but one of my you know,
childhood heroes were a couple of them were in that movie.
So I was like, even though I'm in it for
a second, like that's cool, man.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I was.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I was in that.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I never thought that would happen.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Now you said you're focusing on your book, and I
know we have talked about this.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Do you do you have another book? I can't remember.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, like after writing the first one, you know,
I wasn't like in any hurry with it. I wasn't
sure what I was even going to do with it.
I sent it to a few publishers and just to.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Get a response.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But I felt like I'd learned so much that you
know that when I by the time I finished it,
I was kind of like, Okay, I've got way more
to talk about, you know, So it went a lot
deeper called the second book, Glowing Deeper, is out in January,
and it just kind of really dives in a lot,
a lot heavier than sort of the surface level. I
would say, Letting Glow is kind of like a soft
(19:56):
introduction to spiritual if you know, going through some sort
of spiritual awakening and also grief.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
You know, it kind of deals with those things.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
And then book two really goes into you know, some
out there metaphysical topics like you know, time being nonlinear
and all that kind of fun stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, that sounds pretty cool now.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I know you've talked about, you know, when you're like
a teenager, you did the astral projection and things like that.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Do you think you'll ever try it again?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I would like I sort of, yeah, I would like
to try it again.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It's not been something that I've really that specifically hasn't
been something that.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I've really tried.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
In the last couple of years, I've been more sort
of concerned about connecting with.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Guides and learn who they are.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
And yeah, I guess initially, like I say, the main
thing was that I was like, Okay, I still want
to speak to my mom, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
So yeah, astral projection, Yeah, I'd like to look more
into it as Yes, definitely another area I'd like to explore. Yeah,
maybe I should sort of start concentrating on that, on
that next there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
No, I have never I have never tried it. I
do have. The only thing I have is I do
recently dream a lot about it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like decease people not people, I mean, these people have
been gone. Like my grandmother, she's been gone for years.
Never dreamt about her. She died when I was in
middle school. A couple of years ago. She came to
me in a dream and I still remember it. Yeah,
and I've also had people, but I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
No are decease that come to me. Have you ever
had any of that?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
I don't think so. But there is something, you know.
I was waking up and just going back to my
mom again. I haven't dreamt about her for a while,
but I remember waking up the other morning and it
was almost like her voice was on a radio and
she was talking, but I couldn't understand what she was
talking about, and it was so clearly her voice, you know,
like dreams can be so you know, more powerful than
(22:06):
I sort of waken imagination I think when you're sort
of recalling, especially people that have passed it. And it
was her, and I sort of took from that. I
was like, all right, that kind of makes sense. Like
I was saying, I haven't been concentrating on meditating. I
haven't really like lately, I've kind of got swept up
and talking about the book to people, and that almost
felt like, okay, that let's just say that was her,
(22:28):
and you know, that's kind of a good sort of
point of like I'm not quite connecting at the moment.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
You know, she's around, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dreams.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
I was just I just think, you know, just trust it,
and that seems to be the key as well.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You know, I've.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Actually been starting to keep a log about the different
dreams because one of them, and I don't know why,
I mean, I've known this, I knew this kid that
looked out by me. I went to school with them,
and he died during COVID I don't know from what
mm hmm. But then within the last couple of years,
(23:08):
I had a dream right before I was going on
an investigation and he showed up there with another acquaintance,
a girl I knew from school. I wasn't really you know,
close to or anything, but they were both.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
There and I'm like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And he's like, I don't know, tell me, and she
never said anything, she just stood there. And then earlier
this year I had another dream that he called.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
And he said he he needed my help, but I,
you know, I don't know what for, that's all he said.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Have no idea.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I've been writing this stuff down to see if anything,
you know, connects at.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Some point, But yeah, have you thought of like actively
sort of like trying to contact him, Like just I haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm afraid because I channel and I'm not like I
it's not something that I mean to do.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Like if I'm on an investigation, sometimes I may get
so focused into something that I start picking up things
that may not actually be in that location, they could
be anywhere, and then I go into.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
This kind of weird trance like state. Then I have
to have a more experienced medium that I know.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, get me out of it.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm still trying to learn how to keep that all
in check. Yeah before I try to actually.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Contact you know, someone, Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely,
And I'm actually talking of trance. I think that's that's
that's actually the sort of path I would like to
explore more. I feel that the second book that I
wrote was definitely I mean, it turns into a conversation
at some point, and I was like, hey, well, I'm
(25:01):
either just chanting away to myself here, or this is
an active conversation, you know. And I feel that, like
when I re read back on it afterwards, I was like, yeah, okay,
I didn't I didn't write that. That's way smarter than me,
you know, with that stuff. So yeah, that that seems
to be like the direction on hopefully going. Yeah, I'd
(25:21):
like to actively sort of try and sit in chance
that would be interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's it's interesting, I you know, and I never knew
that I was actually going into this.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I would usually.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Wake up in the grass being grounded, you know, and
things or they would be saving me or what have you.
And so I asked them, I said, next time I
do this. Can somebody please record me?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Yeah? Absolutely, see what it's like.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
M and I am a completely different person, like my
amazing She says that sometimes my eyes will turn black,
my voice will change. And it took three or four people,
I guess one time to actually get me out outside.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
But how long did it last for it varies.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Sometimes it's like ten fifteen minutes. At this last time,
it took him almost an hour.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Like I was literally standing out in the middle of
the scratch, I guess, with this like blank slate across
my face, like not even coexisting in their realm or something. Yeah,
but it was very interesting to see it on film
because my eyes were like kind of rolled back.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, And then.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
You could hear my recorder next to me, and the
girl who was filming you couldn't hear it on her phone,
but you could hear it in my recorder, these three
loud breaths. And as soon as those three loud breaths
came on there, I kind of started coming to and
I was like sobbing.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
What the three breaths were.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
We're not really sure if it was something that was
leave that area of me or something that was trying
to attach I don't know it.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
It's very strange. So yeah, if you go into it,
just be careful. I mean, I'm just not the same
for everybody.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
But that sounds fascinating. Yeah, I've only I've only ex
I shouldn't this is all.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
I shouldn't sort of make comment on this when I'm
going to So I've only ever experienced it once with
a guy when I was sitting in a circle. So
my regular circle is on hiatus, so I've just been
sort of going to random ones, open circles, and I remember,
you know, you never know what you get, right, There's
there's some random people there and one guy, English guy,
(27:44):
like an older gentleman. He just suddenly switched to this
I would say Southeastern Asian accent.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I'm not sure, but and he kind of.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Sort of took on the demeanor of like a little
old man and and and it was like I was like, well,
this is interesting. It was it was, I hate to say,
it was almost funny like and he was kind of
giving me all this advice.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
But I mean, you know, why not.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
You know, I'm not in any position to say that
he wasn't channeling an old Chinese man, but yeah, he
went full full method, you know, but to the point
that the teacher actually they said it had to be
like okay, yeah, it's not now like we we need
to do something else.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, but it was interesting interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah. I can't wait
to get to read your next book.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I've read your other one a couple of times, so
oh thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah, absolutely, I found it very intriguing. I'll have to
try some of your techniques for the meditation in there.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Now. Your books are available on Amazon, and John Hutt's
publishing has changed.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Correct, Yeah, they've changed.

Speaker 9 (29:03):
I just had another goal on last night who was
on the same publishing, so okay, yeah, that's why I'm like.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
He hasn't sent me that information.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Yet, so yeah, I still forget that.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I've got to call it Collective Ink now as well.
Speaker 1 (29:16):

few people. There's a contact form on there. I've had
a few people getting in touch, a few people asking
for readings, which.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Yeah, but yeah, some people have just been telling me
about their experiences, which I found really interesting. And one
thing I'll talk about in the book is kind of
an awakening, sort of being misdiagnosed as like a psychotic
break and I've been quite overwhelmed at how many people
have reached out about that, that they've been through something similar.
(30:23):
They thought they were going nuts and it turned out
they were just kind of, you know, waking up. Like
but yeah, I'd love.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
To hear from people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
The website and then Instagram is pretty much my most
active place.
