Speaker 1 (00:00):
So a session generally lasts about four to six hours
because I need to understand who you are in this life.
So we will spend the first hour to three hours
just talking about who you are in the here and now,
and we will go through your life story from birth
to today. And that's because of the patterns that will
(00:20):
present themselves in your session. So what kind of goes
with that, then, is the difference between me and a
past life reader. Is a past life reader tells you, oh,
you were this in a past life and you were
that this was the dynamic of that life, whereas what
I do is use hypnosis to put you in a
space where you experience it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Welcome to the Reluctant Medium, where we cover the gamut
of out there conversations with an open mind and a
curious heart. We want to talk about it all, from
psychic phenomenon, energy medicine, to beings from other star systems
and out of body experiences. You'll find a great balance
between grounded, science backed topics and others that science hasn't
(01:04):
quite caught.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Up to yet.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm your host, doctor Maria Rothenberger, a psychotherapist by trade
and a Reluctant Spirit baby communicator. And Hey, even though
I'm a medium, I'm not buying everything folks are selling.
I just have a voracious appetite to know more about
what I call the world of the weird. Join us
on your favorite podcast platform or watch on YouTube at
the Reluctant Medium. I'll see you there. Hey everyone, welcome
(01:37):
to the Reluctant Medium podcast. I'm doctor Maria Rothenberger, your
host for the podcast. We're going to have a really
cool conversation today. I have Daniel, the past life regressionist
here today talking about surprise past life regression. Welcome Daniel, Thank.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You for having me Doctor Maria.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Heck yeah, we know each other from the New Reality
TV network, which people can go see both of our
shows New Reality tv dot com. And you're doing what
on your show Past life Regression.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Past life Regressions. The last name kind of gives it away.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's pretty shocking. I'm surprised that you're doing past life
regression and stuff. It is so fascinating. I watched a
couple of your episodes and it's really cool. I have
a lot of questions actually about it. So first though,
I would love to invite you to say, we know
your name, but really, who are you and what do
you do? Do you do anything other than past life
(02:35):
regression and how did you come to do this kind
of stuff?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So I'm Daniel the Past life Regressionist. So as the
name suggests, I'm a past life regressionist, and I mean, yes,
my trade and profession is past life aggression. Although I'm
a musician, I'm a writer. I'm just a guy who's
trying to figure it all out. You know. I'm just
(03:00):
on this journey. And the more I learned, the more
I realize I don't really know anything, or I guess,
the lesson I feel that I know with everything that
I learned. So I'm I'm just I'm doing the best
I can and figuring it out. And as for like,
how did I find myself in this work? If we
(03:20):
go back, no, I guess we can kind of go
back to the beginning just a little bit. I was
always the kid who who thought that there was more
of the world than what met the I but you know,
I had a system telling me that no, no, no.
I am a firm believer in science to this day,
but when I was younger, if science could improve something,
(03:41):
then it's like, oh, well, can't give it much stock.
So I would think about things like past lives, but
not really go into it. And then in my early twenties,
I came down with an autoimmune disorder. Sideline me a
lot through my twenties, and my firm belief in science,
in western medicine made me say, this is the only way,
(04:01):
this is the way that I will be healed is
by going down this path. And after about six years
or so, I just hit this point where I said,
I think I need to explore alternative treat I can't
even say the word, that's where I was. And I
tried a couple alternative treatments, and past life regression just
(04:25):
happened to fall into my lap. It was something I
learned about in a writing class, ironically, and I was
just fascinated by the idea and I thought about it
for a while, excuse me, and then I had my
first session and it absolutely changed my life. And I
do not like to use the word absolute, but I
will say it, it absolutely changed my life. I went
(04:47):
in there thoroughly convinced that I was going to be healed,
because in that time of learning about past life regression,
I started to look into it, and I saw that
was one of the big narratives that this is something
that can cure your illness, and I really latched onto that.
But it did not heal me or cure me.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I've seen past life regression do amazing things with a
lot of the people that I've worked with. I just
was not one of them. But the honest truth is
that I don't think that would have really accomplished anything
other than getting me my health fully back, because it
would have been too easy. And something so much more
valuable came out of that experience, which was a shift
(05:27):
in perspective. So when I walked out of that first session,
I'm someone I kind of latch on this idea even
today that there's a difference between believing and knowing, and
I didn't know that past lives were a real thing.
When I walked out. I was so moved by the
experience that I genuinely believed it. But since I believed
in past lives, I believed in future lives by default.
(05:48):
So with that perspective shift, I walked away saying, Okay,
I've lived before, probably going to live again, so next
time it could be better or it could be worse.
So these are the cards I've been dealt this time time,
So how am I going to play them? So that
really changed things, right, because when I woke up the
next morning, I no longer saw this sick person when
I looked in the mirror, I just saw a guy
(06:10):
who had to deal with some shit. Because let's be honest,
my issues did not go away, but they didn't have
to define me any longer, and I didn't need to
let them define me. So like, that's what really shifted
for me after that first session was just not being
a victim of my circumstances. And I just need to
really reiterate this for anyone listening. That doesn't mean that
(06:31):
they weren't real. It just meant that I looked at
it a little different than I did the day before,
and that changed things for me. So I then just
was fascinated by the process for about the next year
or so. Then I decided to get certified, And I
was in twenty sixteen when I got my certification, and
I've been a practitioner ever since. And you know, I
(06:53):
now find myself with a show on New Reality now
doing past life aggressions for people, and I have a
podcast called Timeless Spirituality where I talk about a lot
of these things. And if you told me more than
a decade ago that this is what I'd be doing today,
I'd be like, that's funny. That now, that's funny. But
(07:14):
here I am. So it's like the the abridged version
of how I got here and what I do with it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah. So I'm curious about your because you said you
didn't grow up in an environment that would support this
kind of thing. Did you have some kind of like
religious belief or just people weren't open or were you know,
like just closed to anything like this, any kind of
spirituality or how was that?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, look, it's not that I grew up in an
environment that wasn't fully open to it, because even to
this day, both my parents are very supportive of what
I do. Oh cool now, they're my biggest cheerleaders with it.
So I'm very grateful and fortunate to have that because
I know that's not the case for a lot of people.
I Mean, what I meant more was it was more
the siss them around me that you know, we didn't
(08:02):
learn about past lives in just in school and by
my religious affiliation is Jewish. I grew up Jewish, I
was bar mitzvad. I would consider myself to be more
of a secular Jew. But in the one year of
Hebrew school that I went to, I was also that
kid who was not very popular with the Hebrew school
teachers because I said, why so, but my my relationship
(08:29):
with religion has been very interesting. So I got bar
mitzvah because, if I'm being honest, it was the cool
thing to do. I grew up in suburban Los Angeles,
and around that age, that time of bar mitzvahs, everyone
starts talking about them. So my year of Hebrew school
was when I was eight. Didn't go back when I
was nine, you know, for obvious reasons. So a little
(08:51):
later on when and I was asked by my parents,
like do you want to have bar mitzvah? And I
said yeah. So I went through a different process ins
at of Hebrew school, like a couple of kids in
the neighborhood. We had a private tutor, so it was
like we were working and just in a different environment
to kind of get it all down in two years.
And like I said, it was the cool thing to
(09:13):
do to have that bar mitzvah. To have that party.
But you know, after my Barmitzvah, I forgot Hebrew like
the next day, and my relationship with Judaism was I mean,
it's been up and down because in the next couple
of years, I just I didn't really indulge in religion
(09:33):
at all, and in my early twenties I felt very lost.
And this was a little bit before I had my
autoimmune issues, and I explored a little bit more with
religion at that point, and I went on a trip
to Israel, amazing trip. Just may not have gone with
the right organization, but there are so many beautiful things
(09:55):
about that country, and this was just the experience that
I had. I just want to say that. So I
went in there really vulnerable because of the state that
I was in and wanting to find something to fulfill me.
And throughout the course of the trip, you know, I'm
just kind of teetering just with a lot of the
(10:16):
things that I was hearing. And towards the end, we
had a lecture that was about these things called the
Bible codes or the Torah codes. Have you ever heard
of these before?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I've heard of the Torah, but not the Torah codes.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's like the Torah Bible codes are Oh, I don't
butcher this right now, but supposedly there's a mathematical formulation
that you can use or equation that shows these events
that are hidden inside of the Torah, like they go
in lines, basically the connections between the like the Hebrew letters,
I guess, is what you would call them. And it
(10:48):
may spell out something like, you know, I'm just gonna
rattle it off here earthquake and our Northridge earthquake nineteen
ninety four, jfk assassination, Holocaust, things of that nature, and
a lot of what I'd heard on that trip specifically,
I really want to nail this in for all the listeners.
There are different sects of Judaism, I guess you could say,
(11:11):
are different branches. So some are more easy going than
the others, and I just happened to be with one
that was a little more I wouldn't go as far
to say radical, but just very convicted in their beliefs.
So a lot of what I was hearing at the
time was that, you know, there's an expression that Jews
(11:31):
are the chosen ones, and that may very well be true,
because I mean, I think there's so much we don't
understand about the world and about our history, even in
recorded history, so forget what goes back even further. So
I don't know what that term means at its core.
But in the year two thousand and seven when I
(11:52):
was on this trip, the messaging was just a lot
like we are better than everyone else. And I disagree
with that. And as a past life regressionists. Because there's
also this concept with Jews that there's a like a
Jewish soul. I think that could be true. However, it
is my belief in lives that I've seen through my
(12:12):
own regressions that I have not always been Jewish.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I was gonna ask that I'm so glad you that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
There could be a such thing as a Jewish soul,
but it may be in people who are not Jewish
right now. And that's just my own theory. But I
just I personally think it's wrong two because I think
it inherently creates supremacy in one way or another, and
this is not what all Jews believe. I guess I
(12:39):
know I'm shooting myself in the foot left and right way.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We're talking about you. We're talking about you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yes, So I had kind of hit my breaking point
when this lecture came up because of what I've been
hearing like that. It kind of disgusted me a bit.
And I was fascinated by the tour codes because to me, like,
if this is real, then this is we're getting close
(13:04):
to tangible proof. Maybe not necessarily that God put these
hidden events in there, but that someone who was a
scribe of the Torah or you know, a writer in
one form or another, that they had advanced knowledge somehow.
And I'm like, we're getting there, We're getting there. So
I raised my hand and I said to the lecturer,
(13:28):
God wants was best for the Jews, right, And the
lecturer was, you know, of course, of course, of course
God wants best rest for the Jews, Like, of course,
what kind of stupid question is that? And then I said,
then why hide these events in the Torah? Why not
just say get those Jews out of those buildings on
nine to eleven, do not let those or the Jews
(13:49):
get on those trains. And the response I got is
you do not question what God wants.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Here, you go asking your whyse again Daniels right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And that experience in and of itself really severed me
from Judaism. Now The unfortunate part of that was I
let that one person dictate my relationship with my religion. Now,
they didn't force my reaction on it, but because of
that experience, I said, I'm done with this. I am
(14:19):
so done. Because that man represented the totality of the
established order of Judaism. In my eyes, I'm like, I
want no part of this. So that was when I
was twenty one. I am round in the corner to
thirty nine right now. And it is only in the
last couple of years when I've really come to this
conclusion that Judaism wasn't the problem. It was that guy.
(14:43):
He was the problem. He was the asshole, not Judaism.
I can't blame Judaism for that schmuck in, you know,
his rigidness and his inability to let go of Oh
it's what God wants.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
So that's where I I kind of find myself. And
it's interesting that it has taken me becoming a past
life aggressionist to open my eyes to religion even more. Yeah,
and see that religion is not the problem. I used
to look at Christianity and say, a bunch of controlling assholes.
Oh but wait, it's not Christianity. If it's a problem,
(15:19):
it's stupid people that are the problem. It's people. It's
not the religion that's the problem. It's the people, the humans.
Like d stop vilifying religion because religion isn't the problem.
It's people that are the problem. So that is my
(15:39):
very very long winded way of saying. I feel like
I am on this journey to reconnect with my faith
in God, and whatever path that may be, whether that
be through religion or through past life regression, or just
looking at a tree and watching the wind hit the leaps,
whatever it may be, that's the path I find myself on.
(16:02):
And I am not here to impose a belief on
anyone or to tell anyone you are wrong. The day
may come when I say that, But I still find
myself in that camp of it could be, it could be,
and still distinguishing between there is a difference between a
belief and a knowing or a fact. Yeah, And I
(16:24):
now wonder if my reluctance to let go of that
notion is even limiting me as an individual, because I'm
so like locked on belief fact belief fact, belief fact.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
So it's I suppose you'll find out at some point.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Well, yeah, when I look back in after I die
and it's oh, wait nothing, or oh there is something.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
There, or I don't exist.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Wait, sorry, did I answer the question?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
You sure did. I'm also wondering, of course, it brings
up all these other questions that I have I'm curious about.
So I have two questions. One, how do you integrate
your relationship with God into your work with past life aggression?
And the other thing is do people need to have
(17:13):
a belief or yeah, do they need to have a
belief that past lives or future lives are real in
order to work with you or to have an effect
or yeah? I mean we could probably go down the
rabbit hole with both those questions, but initial thoughts.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I'll answer the second question first. The answer is no,
you don't have to have a belief in past lives.
You just need to be open in the experience. And
those are some of the most fun sessions for me
when someone doesn't come in with strong convictions one way
or the either, when they and they just allow the
process to happen and then when they come back and
it's like whoa, oh shit. Yeah. So that's that's my
(18:00):
answer for that one. And I believe well, the first
question was.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
How do you integrate your movement towards having a relationship
with God or a better relationship and past life regression
does I'm curious about different religions, not just Judaism and
Christianity and whatever, but I'm curious about beliefs about you know,
reincarnation and things like that, and how do people who
who don't generally subscribe to that, how do they integrate
(18:27):
past life regression then or future life progression with their
belief system? Then how does that work?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I think that's the beauty of the process is that
there is no doctrine for it. So my takeaway from
my first session could have been this is all a
bunch of bullshit. I was told that I was going
to be healed, not the practitioner did not tell that
or tell me I was going to be healed. But
that was just a lot of the a lot of
what I was reading. I could have said that was bullshit,
(18:56):
but I walked away with whatever takeaway I wanted to
walk away with. I guess there really isn't an incorporation
of God per se, other than if someone wants to
allow it to strengthen their relationship with God. If it
brings them closer or further away, I think that's completely
up to the individual. For me personally, I think it
(19:19):
has strengthened my relationship or just my belief in God,
because there's like this vastness that comes into the fold
once you go through the experience, where you just see
that there is so much more here. And even if
it's not real. If what you experienced during a regression
is not real and it's just you're subconscious projecting an
(19:43):
image or story to make something more tangible for you,
that's fine. An example I use is you can have
a regression. Let's just say I would do a regression
with you. And have you ever been to South Dakota before?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, so let's say that you went back to
the nineteen twenties in let's just say Bismarck, North Dakota,
and you knew that because we we spent the time
looking for evidence of where you were in the time period,
which I don't generally do because I don't think it
helps it all. But let's just say right now, that's
(20:21):
what we did. So you saw, you know, a newspaper
article it said March fourteenth, nineteen twenty three, and then
when I had you go to your house, you said, oh,
I'm on one two three four Bismarck Lane, and you
took in the details of that house. Let's say it
was a brick house that would still be standing today,
(20:41):
but you took in every little detail. Then you went
and did the research later on, and you found that
same house today in twenty twenty five when we're recording this,
and you're like, that's the house I saw. I've never
been to Bismarck before. I didn't even know Bismarck existed.
I thought it was just just you know, a cake mix.
(21:01):
And that means that this is real. That means that
I lived in that house because that's the one I saw,
and I've never seen it before. So how could I
know this? How could I know these little details. Yeah,
sure there's a tree that's missing, and yeah, the bricks
are a little more aged, but everything else is right.
So that's the proof. I personally don't believe that that's
(21:23):
the proof, because maybe we're being a little closed minded here.
I'm inclined to believe that it was your life. But
to me, that's just proof that there's something else that
there's something you're plugged into that is allowing you to
see this, And could you call it a coincidence? Yes,
I don't believe it would be to that extent, but
(21:45):
that could just be proof that you were plugged into
something bigger and drawing from something else, and that image
took you to one hundred years in our past to
draw that information out of now, because what was most
important for you to see from that life the shitty
relationship that that person had with their family, okay, and
the parallel that it runs to your life now. So
(22:07):
it's more of a of a tangible understanding that you
get in that respect to see something on display from
a third person point of view. And when it comes
down to it, I don't care. I know that makes
me a bad past life aggressionist or bad for the
industry to say that, But to me, it's about what
you take away from it, yeah, and that if it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Helps me bad, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I know that. I there are other past life reggreionts
who would listen to this and be just tearing their
hair out, like how dare you say that? It's like
does it matter? Do we really need to cling on
to our system so much that We're like, this is
the way that it is. Absolutely we know every part
of this. We know that if you see that, that
is your proof, because how else could you know that? No,
(22:51):
I think it's just proof that there's something else we
don't quite understand.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
That's well, because people have asked me, how do you
how do I know this is real? And I'll say,
it doesn't matter. How does it affect your life? How
does it affect your current life? So I'm with you.
I'm with you there. On the other hand, let me
just say, let me just say, the only reason why
(23:15):
I have a belief that we reincarnate is because of
an experience like that. I'm very like science y, like no, no, no,
one plus one equals too. But I had a one
plus one equals giraffe freaking moment and I could not
explain that away. And it's the only reason why I
know that. I feel like it's a knowing honestly, and
(23:38):
though in your definition it might be a belief, but
that that past life was real and literally what you
just said is exactly what happened. I saw this building.
I saw this building. I knew at that point, I'm like,
holy fuck, that there is no way that I could
know this isn't the thirteen hundreds, How could I know
(24:02):
it's crazy? And so yeah, But also it doesn't matter
because it affected. It impacted my present life in such
a way that that's the part that mattered. But of
course it's like fascinating still, right.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, it's I think it's just it's a tool that's
at our disposal, and for someone like me, who I've
pretty much now built my life around the concept of reincarnation, yeah,
it's okay if it's not real, you know, it's I
don't think that that when I die, if I look
(24:39):
back on this again, it could be like, oh, well no,
there is no reflection, because there is nothing. But I
don't believe that I would look back and say that
was a life wasted or or you were a huckster,
because I'm not out here saying right now that this
is absolutely the way it is, and I am not
out here speaking against anything that I may be questioning.
(25:03):
I'm being forthright about it, whereas I often wonder if
I spoke with more conviction about these things, if it
would be more lucrative for me. But the truth is
that I'm like, maybe, but it's wrong if I.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Do that, ah beautifully said.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Because I know better, and it shouldn't be about that.
It should be about what I believe to be the
totality of all existence, and that I should just be
the best person that I could be and do what
I think is the right thing to do. Now, of
course I have my moments of vanity. Hell, I had
(25:41):
that bar missful like I said earlier, But you were nine, No,
I was thirteen at the time. Still makes it a
little bit better. Yeah, maybe not, But I'm human. I'm
always going to falter. I'm always gonna trip along the way.
But I cannot in good conscience say that that. Well,
(26:05):
I didn't have to know better, it was okay. It's like, no,
if I know better, I need to rise above the fold.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, if I.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Can just help people reconnect with themselves and live a
more fulfilling life, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, geez, I feel like that's the most important thing.
Well done.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, that is the that is.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
The lucrative part. That's that is the most lucrative part.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Well, it's the most spiritually or spiritually lucrative part.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, it doesn't look in the bank account always, but yeah,
I feel like there's much more meaning with that.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I think, so do you matter if I actually say
one more thing on that?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It's like even with regards to my show on New Reality,
I do a show where I do past lives for people,
and when I started to put the feelers out to
bring people on, I had someone reach out to me
and say, you need to have this person on. It
is going to be the most multi dimensional show that
you're going to have. They're gonna have these alien lives
(27:07):
in everything. And I chose not to bring that person
on because that would have been the most lucrative choice
for me to make. And this also, if we can
even take a step further, this goes back to a
lot of the past life lessons that I believe that
I'm here to learn, which is to act responsibly and
(27:29):
if you have a position of authority, to use it
in the most responsible way you possibly can. As someone
who's a past life regressionist, it doesn't mean that I
know more about reincarnation than someone who isn't a past
life regressionist, but naturally people will view me as more
of an authority because it's like, well you do this, Yeah,
well I don't approve, so, but that comes with responsibility,
(27:52):
and to me, one of the things that's getting lost
in the industry right now is theanity of it because
it is becoming much more popular. I mean it is
really oh yeah, I mean it is catching on and
it's about those like sexy lives, so like when were
(28:14):
you an alien? Or when were you in Atlantis or
Lamaria or these lost civilizations or you know, right, And
while I think that's fascinating, I chose not to bring
that person on because at the end of the day,
I'm like, how is this really in help of viewer
live a more fulfilling life? Will this bring in more business? Yeah,
(28:36):
because most people are gonna want to see, you know,
at least watching Oh, I want to see when I
had a life in the ancient civilization of Atlantis, Like
that would be so cool. Not like, hey, you're gonna
cry your fucking eyes out right now and have this
deeply emotional experience. You're gonna have snot all over your face.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I suggest not wearing your eyeshadow because it's over. It's
not as sex and you know, like so i'd be
just there's one episode where I haven't aired it yet
but you know, if anyone watches it, it was like
a very meaning like because somethings you see more than
one life in a session, and very meaningful first life.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And then it shifted to one of those like ET
lives and I don't know if anyone be able to
see it come over my face, but in that moment,
I was just like, oh shit, it's happening. Like oh no,
I'm like, okay, this is episode fifteen or whatever. It's fine.
I've avoided it for the for the first fifteen, so
(29:35):
you know.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
All right, come on in ET yep.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Right, So I guess that I just kind of want
to paint that picture for everyone to Yeah, as a writer,
I think one of the most important things, or one
of the most fundamental lessons of being writer or rules
is show me, don't tell me. So now that you
guys understand a little bit where I'm coming from with
regards to that responsibility, if you look back and everything
(30:00):
I've said, it's me basically implementing what I've learned about
myself through past life regression and yeah, and doing the
best I think I can do.
Speaker 2 (30:11):

Thanks for listening, and I hope to see you on

(31:14):
regression session with you? You and I were both trained,
but by different people. You were trained by like the
Dolores Canon camp, QHT Quantum Healing and all that right,
and I was trained by doctor Brian Weiss, And I
don't know a lot about Dolores Canon. I just know
that she's wildly popular and lots of folks have done
(31:35):
work with her trainings, her strategies. I'm curious what people
can expect from a session specifically with you trained by
Delores Canon and doing and is it another question, is
quantum healing always in tandem with past life regression with
you or is that separate thing or how does that work?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
So I'm I'm training to two different modalities. One is
a QHHT, which is quantum healing hypnosis technique, and the
other is BQH which beyond quantum healing. So I utilize
both in my practice. It just depends on the location
of the session, okay, and the technical term for you know,
(32:18):
Dolores Cannon's version of past life regression is quantum healing
hypnosis technique, which also goes by past life regression. So
it does work in tandem in that respect, and it's
that healing at that deep quantum level, you know, that
level that you can't necessarily see. With regards to what
(32:39):
someone can expect out of a session, I can't tell you.
All I can tell you is what the process looks like. Cool.
So a session generally lasts about four to six hours
because I need to understand who you are in this life.
So we will spend the first hour to three hours
just talking about who you are in the here and now,
(33:00):
and we will go through your life story from birth
to today. And that's because of the patterns that will
present themselves in your session. And I need to know
what's important, because if I don't know what the patterns
are in this life, then it's going to be completely
lost on me when you are having the experience while
you're participating in the regression. So what kind of goes
(33:24):
with that then? Is the difference between me and a
past life reader. Is a past life reader tells you, oh,
you were this in a past life and you were
that this was the dynamic of that life, whereas what
I do is use hypnosis to put you in a
space where you experience it for yourself, and in turn,
you are communicating with me the entire time, and you're saying,
(33:48):
this is what I'm seeing, this is what i'm feeling,
this is what's happened. And based off of what you say,
I will then say, okay, well let's explore this a
little bit more. And that's because of everything you've told
me about your life in the here and now and
the patterns that are playing themselves out, and the actual
experience itself feels different for a lot of people. For
(34:10):
me personally, I see an image kind of being shown
to me. Sometimes it moves in slow motion, but there's
almost that sense of knowing what's going along with it
and this is what's happening, this is what I'm feeling.
So it's like even if you were injured in one
(34:31):
way or another, it's like you are aware that you're
being injured, but you just don't feel it. You're like, oh,
I just got stabbed. You're aware that it is, You're
aware of the pain that that version of you was feeling,
but you, as doctor Maria would not be like, oh
I'm gushing blood right now. Oh oh, It's just you're
(34:51):
aware of it.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
You're not re experiencing any trauma exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay, at least I haven't experienced that with anyone session.
That's not to say that that potential is not there.
I just have yet to discover it.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, And here's like also the point where'll you'll see
the threads. Although I always encourage everyone to not try
to figure it out at that point, because that then
comes with what we call speaking to the subconscious or
the sc I mean another term for it could be
the higher self or something we just haven't quite figured
out yet, And I would just simply explain it as
(35:28):
at that point in the session, we are unlocking access
to a part of your brain that you don't have
access to in your normal waking state. So ahead of time,
I will send everyone a questionnaire, which is basically questions
that you want to have answered about your life, anything
and everything. Why is your favorite color blue? Why do
you have these dreams of being in the wild West.
(35:49):
Why did your third grade teacher treat you like shit?
I mean anything in everything?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Why am I afraid of whales?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Exactly? Why you're strad of whale? And I'd be like, well,
maybe you were the subject for mobi Dick. So when
we get to that higher self portion or the subconscious
sc portion, that's when we ask the questions that that
you have come in with. And also that's when we
ask why weren't you shown the lives that you were shown?
What was the significance of that? And I can just say,
(36:17):
as a practitioner, the coolest thing to watch is that
if you allow the experience to unfold, everything will make sense.
Even if everything seems like such a jumbled mess just
when you're going through it, it will all make sense.
At the end. The thread will be there, and it's
cool when you see like.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Eh, okay, all right, god right.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
And that's also the part where a lot of the
release can take place. So when these things come up
and you see that, oh, something happened, and then we
identify it as okay, this is something that needs to
be released on an energetic level, that's when we go
through the process of releasing it. But what I've also
(37:00):
kind of come to understand in my you know, nearly
a decade of doing this at this point, is that
I don't think all things are meant to be released.
I think that that's a great oh say that again,
that not all things are meant to be released, That
some things are meant to stay with you and not
as a punishment, but because it shapes who you are
(37:23):
and releasing it would not be beneficial. And also at
that point I kind of just trust that if this
is not being released, look, sometimes it can be because
of the individual and because they are not allowing something
to be released. But the other times it's kind of
like the the subconscious or higher self saying like no
(37:47):
now or now is not the time, or just no,
but you no. In all that observation, I'm just really
coming this place that I don't think everything is meant
to be released. So yeah, I just I think that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
That's just so profound. It's true. It shapes who we are.
Do you feel like that is why you've heard that
others are you know, suddenly healed and you still struggle
with I don't even know if now, but after your
first session that you didn't suddenly become completely healed from
autoimmune stuff? Do you feel like you needed that in
(38:25):
your life?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Look, I mean even to this day, I'm not I'm
better than I was at that time needed it. I
don't believe so, because I don't believe it was something
I really clinged on to. I saw how I would
like I said, I would look at myself in the
mirror and see myself as such. But I don't think
(38:51):
it was something I ever said, how will I live
without this? What will I do when this is no
longer here? And the honestry is, if I'm being honest,
I think that there were that I may have had
biological predispositions to something and that it was brought on
(39:12):
by an emotional state. Good all eupigenetics, and it's it's
not something I've fully dealt with yet, you know, whatever
it is that that may still be keeping me in
that space a bit, something that I may have for
reluctance to look at or accept, or maybe I could
just be playing the biggest con on myself and this
(39:36):
was all a byproduct of my need to avoid something.
So it's like, oh, well, let's just you. It's a
sick handicap on me. Again, it's not a handicap I have,
but it's like, oh no, you'll need to identify with this.
That's the only way that you'll feel fulfilled, and that's
the only way you'll take yourself seriously, and that'll be
your excuse for not going out there in the world
(39:57):
and doing things.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Excuse do you feel like it's shaped you?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I mean, how could I not feel that it shaped
me in one way or another?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
But it led you to pass life regression?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
It did, And I can say that I never would
have found it had it not been for that. But
what I can say with certainty is I never would
have found it when I did if it weren't for that,
because even though it kind of fell into my lap,
it would happen to be like I said, in a
writing class. It was a memoi of writing class. Even
(40:31):
though I didn't like talking about myself at the time,
but I felt the draw to that class when I
saw it in the catalog. I didn't understand it, and
I never wrote about myself in that class. I just
wrote a bunch of fiction. And even for the first assignment,
it was a married couple who were the instructors, and
they said, oh my god, that happened to you. I said, no,
that's I mean. They were great. They just encouraged me
(40:52):
to see, well, here, I'll you may enjoy this story.
So the way that it came up was one week
for the assignment and I just brought my guitar in.
He said, the whole class was about writing your own memoir.
So one week I write, you know, I wrote the
scene that was just yeah, completely a fabrication. Again, I
owned up to it, though, and I just kept doing that.
(41:14):
One week, I'm like, I'm going to bring my guitar
in and I'm going to play a song that I wrote,
and this song was called will a Kiss Remind You?
And the concept of this song was about finding a
lost love in another life. Oh and so WHOA all right?
And the instructors they said to me after I finished,
they said, have you ever heard of past life progression before?
(41:35):
I was like, no, what's that? And they shared their
experience from a Brian Weiss seminar that they were at about,
you know, an experience that they had. I mean, it
was a great story and it was just it was
this love story of I think it took place during
World War One, if I remember correctly, and I believe
(41:55):
he saw himself as a soldier and she had seen
herself as the wife of a soldier who went off
to war, and but their experiences overlapped and he ended
up dying. But they didn't say anything to each other,
like once it was done, They're like, we'll talk about
it when we get back in the car. And the
(42:15):
skeptic that I was, I couldn't ignore their experience because
I'd gotten to know them over the you know, the
quarter at that point.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
They were reasonable people.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Very reasonable, and I'm like, these are not the type
of people that would fabricate this and they have no reason,
like we're in a course about memoir writing. Yeah, and
they just happened to bring this up right now, like
they're not gonna win, you know, Brownie points with everybody
like doing this, like there's a clout. So I took
their experience to heart and like, okay, But why I
(42:52):
mean I also bring that up is because right before that,
I I went and got my genial done because in
my mind, though as inflated as it was back then,
like I'm still working on it, but back then, I'm like, oh, yeah,
I can figure out something that the scientists haven't figured
out now or the researchers. I'm going to find something
(43:15):
in the genetic lineage of migration patterns as being the
cause of my autoimmune issues. That's the shit that I
told myself. And then I got my results back. It's like, oh,
you're ninety seven percent Eastern European jew It's like fashion fall.
(43:36):
So it was like I hit that brick wand I'm like, well,
the genealogy route was a bust. And then they bring
this up. I kid you not. This is all within
the span of a couple of days. It's like I
was defeated, and then they brought that up, and it's like, Okay,
I'm going to lean into this now because I'm like,
something about this feels right, because I felt like I
(43:58):
had set out on this quest and even said an
intention without knowing it, like I need to go back
to my roots to understand this. That was just far
beyond the scope of what I was thinking at the time,
Like I don't think of past lives. I was just thinking,
you know, the genetic line. Yeah, so that again, that's
(44:19):
why I say I wouldn't have found it then I
may I would have. I mean, I think at some
point I would have come across it. But all I
can say with certainty is that this was the path
that I did take, and it did happen because I
was trying to get to the root of that. And
you know. But then, as I'm saying out loud, I'm like, oh,
(44:41):
I did write that song about four years before that,
so I don't know, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
May have had an inkling before that. I like how
you said it felt right, which is not the science
y mind, that's the intuitive mind, right, And it's like
you're you're pulling in both right.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Oh well, just yeah, last thing on that. That was
also a weird time for me because my stepmom had
just passed away a few months before. And what really
ultimately brought me around to all of this was a
book that I read back in the summer of twenty fourteen,
and when my stepmom was in the hospital, her sister
talked about a book called Heaven Is for Real. And
(45:21):
I remember just like rolling my eyes in my head
when she was talking about it was about a kid
who had a past life. I'm sorry, I in your
death experience, yeah, and you know, seeing God. I'm like,
ye O, get whatever. But a few months later, I
found myself at this place where I'm like, I want
to believe that my stepmom is in a better place.
So I'm going to go check out that book. And
(45:42):
I went on Amazon to buy it, and I read
the description. I'm like, I can't. I just I can't
because there were there were other things in there that
were a little more religious, and I just.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Thought more religious.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, yeah, it's being nice about it.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, it was a lot.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I wanted to you, but I couldn't. But right beneath
it was one of those suggested or suggested reads for
whatever or other books that we'd suggest for you, And
there was a book called Proof of Heaven. I'm like, oh,
we look at that, and I saw it was written
by someone who was a neurosurgeon, and my skeptical mind
(46:21):
kicked in, or the not my skeptical mind, but the
cynic in me who's always going to look at these things.
And I just kept saying, I don't fully know this
guy's financial situation, but it's probably okay, So this guy
has everything to lose and not much to gain exactly,
So why would he subject himself to putting this story
(46:42):
out of this experience that he had when he risks
being completely ostracized by all of his peers And I
don't buy his fan and just whatever it is. I'm like,
there's just too much to risk here, whereas the other book,
not to take away from the validity of it, but
I'm like, they have a lot more to gain potentially
by sharing this experience. And that again not to say
(47:04):
that it wasn't real, but that's just the way that
my mind works and worked. And I'm like, yeah, and
a lot.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Of folks minds, a lot of folks minds. Yeah, that's
doctor Eben Alexander, by the way, such a great book,
great books. Got to pick it up.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, And when I read it, I just kept saying
to myself, I don't know if his experience was real,
but I can tell that he was moved enough by
it to believe that it was real, and that it
did something for him and shifted his perception of his reality.
And he still he risked everything by putting it out
(47:39):
there get at least from my perception. I don't know everything,
but the way I saw it is he just has
so much to lose and not a.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Neurosurgeon, yes, very well established in the medical field, and yeah,
he had a lot to lose, a lot.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
So it was just it was around that time when
I set that intention, just saying like, I need to
get to my roots and understand myself in a much
deeper way. And so that's why I said, I went
the genealogy're out and then it's like a past life
aggression plopped in your lap.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah, Okay, I have a final question because I'm I'm
curious about if folks have come back to you, because
I also had a very similar, profound, several profound experiences
of past life regression finally and clearly you have. I'm
wondering if you've had clients who have come back and
(48:32):
told you about the aftermath, like what happened after, and
if you've heard people have these sort of oh my gosh,
this is how my life has changed because of that experience. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
I can think of a few.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Yeah, yeah, not that you would say there they are details,
But I'm curious about that if if that is like
the point, right is to make these big maybe not
but even subtle changes in folks lives.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
I mean, there have been some that have made huge choice,
you know, or a huge shifts as a result of it,
and you know, I think the others that are just
that look at the world differently. The common one is
I see people put themselves out there a lot more
because I think there is a layer of fear that's
really released. And it's like seeing a part of yourself
(49:29):
that you felt but didn't really know that it was there,
but then it becomes more tangible. And it's not to
say that you're going to come back speaking French if
you never have before, but it's like seeing there is
a facet of your soul in a sense that is there,
like you have this power within you and this courage
and the strength whatever it may be, and it gives
(49:51):
you that courage and strength to go in a different direction.
And look, I can there's one I mean, I know
that I can share because it's this is a friend
of mine who I've had on my podcast, and you know,
she shared the experience, so it's you know, in great detail,
and this is I mean even for me personally. This
(50:11):
was a session I did two years into being a
past life regressionist and it really opened up my eyes
to what was important. And it was about her fiancee
who passed away a couple months prior, and she didn't
think that there was really a connection there, but she
saw that they were together another life. And we did
(50:32):
another aggression and he he came in, you know as
as like a presence again and basically showed her who
her husband would be and said like this is the
man who's coming and and it's like one of those
things where it's like, Okay, I want you to feel
his presence right now, so when you like, he may
not look how you're seeing him, but you'll know the feeling.
(50:54):
And then she reaches out to me. You know, it's like,
it's him, I found it. This is like you know,
months later it was him. It was who David showed
me it's hit. And then you know she got married
to him. They had a kid recently, and that's amazing, right,
But I'm going to bring that one up because it was,
(51:14):
especially in that first session, it was like she could
let go a little bit because it was like he
gave her that permission to let him go because he's like, yeah,
I want you to find that love and happiness, like
I'll always be with you. We've been with each other before,
We'll be with each other again. This is just what
(51:35):
I'm doing now. So like you go find him like
it's okay, and so it's like you can let go.
And that's the session that changed everything for me because
up until that point, i'd be disappointed if I didn't
have a session where it was like aliens or ancient
civilizations because at that time, like that's what's cool. But
(51:55):
that session showed me that, no, this is the shit
that really matters, the stuff that has to do with
the heart in really moving forward in life. It's like
that changed me as a practitioner, and and I don't
know if anything will ever be able to top that.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
Mic Drop, Daniel, Mike Drop, that's I think you're right.
You know, we're talking about all these you know, not
you and I, but lots of folks out there are
talking about all these phenomenal things, and you know, they
go to psychic getings and am I going to be
the billionaire that I want to be? And am I
going to be this famous person or whatever? Like what
(52:31):
is my life going to look like? But does that
really matter? If you're not living a fearless life? Does
that really matter? If you're not living fully who you
are and being seen for who you really are? And gosh,
I don't think there's anything more beautiful than that. So
thank you. I think that is the point.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, I think yeah, kind is. Yeah, trying to figure
it out, but for now I'd agree with you until
I can come back and say.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Oh no, yeah, there's that I don't know, suspending judgment feeling.
That's awesome, Daniel, Thanks so much. I appreciate your wisdom
and your insights and your I don't know, I'm open attitude.
I think that's fantastic. It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
Thank you for joining the Reluctant Medium podcast today. I
hope that this episode has brought you beautiful high vibration
and that it continues emanating from your heart space for
the rest of the day and beyond. Don't forget to
join the Reluctant Medium on Patreon dot com, and you
can also visit the Reluctantmedium dot us and the Reluctant
(53:37):
Medium TV show on New Reality tv dot com. Until
next time, my friend, may you be well.
So a session generally lasts about four to six hours
because I need to understand who you are in this life.
So we will spend the first hour to three hours
just talking about who you are in the here and now,
and we will go through your life story from birth
to today. And that's because of the patterns that will
(00:20):
present themselves in your session. So what kind of goes
with that, then, is the difference between me and a
past life reader. Is a past life reader tells you, oh,
you were this in a past life and you were
that this was the dynamic of that life, whereas what
I do is use hypnosis to put you in a
space where you experience it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Welcome to the Reluctant Medium, where we cover the gamut
of out there conversations with an open mind and a
curious heart. We want to talk about it all, from
psychic phenomenon, energy medicine, to beings from other star systems
and out of body experiences. You'll find a great balance
between grounded, science backed topics and others that science hasn't
(01:04):
quite caught.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Up to yet.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm your host, doctor Maria Rothenberger, a psychotherapist by trade
and a Reluctant Spirit baby communicator. And Hey, even though
I'm a medium, I'm not buying everything folks are selling.
I just have a voracious appetite to know more about
what I call the world of the weird. Join us
on your favorite podcast platform or watch on YouTube at
the Reluctant Medium. I'll see you there. Hey everyone, welcome
(01:37):
to the Reluctant Medium podcast. I'm doctor Maria Rothenberger, your
host for the podcast. We're going to have a really
cool conversation today. I have Daniel, the past life regressionist
here today talking about surprise past life regression. Welcome Daniel, Thank.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You for having me Doctor Maria.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Heck yeah, we know each other from the New Reality
TV network, which people can go see both of our
shows New Reality tv dot com. And you're doing what
on your show Past life Regression.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Past life Regressions. The last name kind of gives it away.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's pretty shocking. I'm surprised that you're doing past life
regression and stuff. It is so fascinating. I watched a
couple of your episodes and it's really cool. I have
a lot of questions actually about it. So first though,
I would love to invite you to say, we know
your name, but really, who are you and what do
you do? Do you do anything other than past life
(02:35):
regression and how did you come to do this kind
of stuff?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So I'm Daniel the Past life Regressionist. So as the
name suggests, I'm a past life regressionist, and I mean, yes,
my trade and profession is past life aggression. Although I'm
a musician, I'm a writer. I'm just a guy who's
trying to figure it all out. You know. I'm just
(03:00):
on this journey. And the more I learned, the more
I realize I don't really know anything, or I guess,
the lesson I feel that I know with everything that
I learned. So I'm I'm just I'm doing the best
I can and figuring it out. And as for like,
how did I find myself in this work? If we
(03:20):
go back, no, I guess we can kind of go
back to the beginning just a little bit. I was
always the kid who who thought that there was more
of the world than what met the I but you know,
I had a system telling me that no, no, no.
I am a firm believer in science to this day,
but when I was younger, if science could improve something,
(03:41):
then it's like, oh, well, can't give it much stock.
So I would think about things like past lives, but
not really go into it. And then in my early twenties,
I came down with an autoimmune disorder. Sideline me a
lot through my twenties, and my firm belief in science,
in western medicine made me say, this is the only way,
(04:01):
this is the way that I will be healed is
by going down this path. And after about six years
or so, I just hit this point where I said,
I think I need to explore alternative treat I can't
even say the word, that's where I was. And I
tried a couple alternative treatments, and past life regression just
(04:25):
happened to fall into my lap. It was something I
learned about in a writing class, ironically, and I was
just fascinated by the idea and I thought about it
for a while, excuse me, and then I had my
first session and it absolutely changed my life. And I
do not like to use the word absolute, but I
will say it, it absolutely changed my life. I went
(04:47):
in there thoroughly convinced that I was going to be healed,
because in that time of learning about past life regression,
I started to look into it, and I saw that
was one of the big narratives that this is something
that can cure your illness, and I really latched onto that.
But it did not heal me or cure me.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I've seen past life regression do amazing things with a
lot of the people that I've worked with. I just
was not one of them. But the honest truth is
that I don't think that would have really accomplished anything
other than getting me my health fully back, because it
would have been too easy. And something so much more
valuable came out of that experience, which was a shift
(05:27):
in perspective. So when I walked out of that first session,
I'm someone I kind of latch on this idea even
today that there's a difference between believing and knowing, and
I didn't know that past lives were a real thing.
When I walked out. I was so moved by the
experience that I genuinely believed it. But since I believed
in past lives, I believed in future lives by default.
(05:48):
So with that perspective shift, I walked away saying, Okay,
I've lived before, probably going to live again, so next
time it could be better or it could be worse.
So these are the cards I've been dealt this time time,
So how am I going to play them? So that
really changed things, right, because when I woke up the
next morning, I no longer saw this sick person when
I looked in the mirror, I just saw a guy
(06:10):
who had to deal with some shit. Because let's be honest,
my issues did not go away, but they didn't have
to define me any longer, and I didn't need to
let them define me. So like, that's what really shifted
for me after that first session was just not being
a victim of my circumstances. And I just need to
really reiterate this for anyone listening. That doesn't mean that
(06:31):
they weren't real. It just meant that I looked at
it a little different than I did the day before,
and that changed things for me. So I then just
was fascinated by the process for about the next year
or so. Then I decided to get certified, And I
was in twenty sixteen when I got my certification, and
I've been a practitioner ever since. And you know, I
(06:53):
now find myself with a show on New Reality now
doing past life aggressions for people, and I have a
podcast called Timeless Spirituality where I talk about a lot
of these things. And if you told me more than
a decade ago that this is what I'd be doing today,
I'd be like, that's funny. That now, that's funny. But
(07:14):
here I am. So it's like the the abridged version
of how I got here and what I do with it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah. So I'm curious about your because you said you
didn't grow up in an environment that would support this
kind of thing. Did you have some kind of like
religious belief or just people weren't open or were you know,
like just closed to anything like this, any kind of
spirituality or how was that?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, look, it's not that I grew up in an
environment that wasn't fully open to it, because even to
this day, both my parents are very supportive of what
I do. Oh cool now, they're my biggest cheerleaders with it.
So I'm very grateful and fortunate to have that because
I know that's not the case for a lot of people.
I Mean, what I meant more was it was more
the siss them around me that you know, we didn't
(08:02):
learn about past lives in just in school and by
my religious affiliation is Jewish. I grew up Jewish, I
was bar mitzvad. I would consider myself to be more
of a secular Jew. But in the one year of
Hebrew school that I went to, I was also that
kid who was not very popular with the Hebrew school
teachers because I said, why so, but my my relationship
(08:29):
with religion has been very interesting. So I got bar
mitzvah because, if I'm being honest, it was the cool
thing to do. I grew up in suburban Los Angeles,
and around that age, that time of bar mitzvahs, everyone
starts talking about them. So my year of Hebrew school
was when I was eight. Didn't go back when I
was nine, you know, for obvious reasons. So a little
(08:51):
later on when and I was asked by my parents,
like do you want to have bar mitzvah? And I
said yeah. So I went through a different process ins
at of Hebrew school, like a couple of kids in
the neighborhood. We had a private tutor, so it was
like we were working and just in a different environment
to kind of get it all down in two years.
And like I said, it was the cool thing to
(09:13):
do to have that bar mitzvah. To have that party.
But you know, after my Barmitzvah, I forgot Hebrew like
the next day, and my relationship with Judaism was I mean,
it's been up and down because in the next couple
of years, I just I didn't really indulge in religion
(09:33):
at all, and in my early twenties I felt very lost.
And this was a little bit before I had my
autoimmune issues, and I explored a little bit more with
religion at that point, and I went on a trip
to Israel, amazing trip. Just may not have gone with
the right organization, but there are so many beautiful things
(09:55):
about that country, and this was just the experience that
I had. I just want to say that. So I
went in there really vulnerable because of the state that
I was in and wanting to find something to fulfill me.
And throughout the course of the trip, you know, I'm
just kind of teetering just with a lot of the
(10:16):
things that I was hearing. And towards the end, we
had a lecture that was about these things called the
Bible codes or the Torah codes. Have you ever heard
of these before?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I've heard of the Torah, but not the Torah codes.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's like the Torah Bible codes are Oh, I don't
butcher this right now, but supposedly there's a mathematical formulation
that you can use or equation that shows these events
that are hidden inside of the Torah, like they go
in lines, basically the connections between the like the Hebrew letters,
I guess, is what you would call them. And it
(10:48):
may spell out something like, you know, I'm just gonna
rattle it off here earthquake and our Northridge earthquake nineteen
ninety four, jfk assassination, Holocaust, things of that nature, and
a lot of what I'd heard on that trip specifically,
I really want to nail this in for all the listeners.
There are different sects of Judaism, I guess you could say,
(11:11):
are different branches. So some are more easy going than
the others, and I just happened to be with one
that was a little more I wouldn't go as far
to say radical, but just very convicted in their beliefs.
So a lot of what I was hearing at the
time was that, you know, there's an expression that Jews
(11:31):
are the chosen ones, and that may very well be true,
because I mean, I think there's so much we don't
understand about the world and about our history, even in
recorded history, so forget what goes back even further. So
I don't know what that term means at its core.
But in the year two thousand and seven when I
(11:52):
was on this trip, the messaging was just a lot
like we are better than everyone else. And I disagree
with that. And as a past life regressionists. Because there's
also this concept with Jews that there's a like a
Jewish soul. I think that could be true. However, it
is my belief in lives that I've seen through my
(12:12):
own regressions that I have not always been Jewish.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I was gonna ask that I'm so glad you that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
There could be a such thing as a Jewish soul,
but it may be in people who are not Jewish
right now. And that's just my own theory. But I
just I personally think it's wrong two because I think
it inherently creates supremacy in one way or another, and
this is not what all Jews believe. I guess I
(12:39):
know I'm shooting myself in the foot left and right way.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We're talking about you. We're talking about you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yes, So I had kind of hit my breaking point
when this lecture came up because of what I've been
hearing like that. It kind of disgusted me a bit.
And I was fascinated by the tour codes because to me, like,
if this is real, then this is we're getting close
(13:04):
to tangible proof. Maybe not necessarily that God put these
hidden events in there, but that someone who was a
scribe of the Torah or you know, a writer in
one form or another, that they had advanced knowledge somehow.
And I'm like, we're getting there, We're getting there. So
I raised my hand and I said to the lecturer,
(13:28):
God wants was best for the Jews, right, And the
lecturer was, you know, of course, of course, of course
God wants best rest for the Jews, Like, of course,
what kind of stupid question is that? And then I said,
then why hide these events in the Torah? Why not
just say get those Jews out of those buildings on
nine to eleven, do not let those or the Jews
(13:49):
get on those trains. And the response I got is
you do not question what God wants.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Here, you go asking your whyse again Daniels right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And that experience in and of itself really severed me
from Judaism. Now The unfortunate part of that was I
let that one person dictate my relationship with my religion. Now,
they didn't force my reaction on it, but because of
that experience, I said, I'm done with this. I am
(14:19):
so done. Because that man represented the totality of the
established order of Judaism. In my eyes, I'm like, I
want no part of this. So that was when I
was twenty one. I am round in the corner to
thirty nine right now. And it is only in the
last couple of years when I've really come to this
conclusion that Judaism wasn't the problem. It was that guy.
(14:43):
He was the problem. He was the asshole, not Judaism.
I can't blame Judaism for that schmuck in, you know,
his rigidness and his inability to let go of Oh
it's what God wants.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
So that's where I I kind of find myself. And
it's interesting that it has taken me becoming a past
life aggressionist to open my eyes to religion even more. Yeah,
and see that religion is not the problem. I used
to look at Christianity and say, a bunch of controlling assholes.
Oh but wait, it's not Christianity. If it's a problem,
(15:19):
it's stupid people that are the problem. It's people. It's
not the religion that's the problem. It's the people, the humans.
Like d stop vilifying religion because religion isn't the problem.
It's people that are the problem. So that is my
(15:39):
very very long winded way of saying. I feel like
I am on this journey to reconnect with my faith
in God, and whatever path that may be, whether that
be through religion or through past life regression, or just
looking at a tree and watching the wind hit the leaps,
whatever it may be, that's the path I find myself on.
(16:02):
And I am not here to impose a belief on
anyone or to tell anyone you are wrong. The day
may come when I say that, But I still find
myself in that camp of it could be, it could be,
and still distinguishing between there is a difference between a
belief and a knowing or a fact. Yeah, And I
(16:24):
now wonder if my reluctance to let go of that
notion is even limiting me as an individual, because I'm
so like locked on belief fact belief fact, belief fact.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
So it's I suppose you'll find out at some point.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Well, yeah, when I look back in after I die
and it's oh, wait nothing, or oh there is something.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
There, or I don't exist.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Wait, sorry, did I answer the question?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
You sure did. I'm also wondering, of course, it brings
up all these other questions that I have I'm curious about.
So I have two questions. One, how do you integrate
your relationship with God into your work with past life aggression?
And the other thing is do people need to have
(17:13):
a belief or yeah, do they need to have a
belief that past lives or future lives are real in
order to work with you or to have an effect
or yeah? I mean we could probably go down the
rabbit hole with both those questions, but initial thoughts.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I'll answer the second question first. The answer is no,
you don't have to have a belief in past lives.
You just need to be open in the experience. And
those are some of the most fun sessions for me
when someone doesn't come in with strong convictions one way
or the either, when they and they just allow the
process to happen and then when they come back and
it's like whoa, oh shit. Yeah. So that's that's my
(18:00):
answer for that one. And I believe well, the first
question was.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
How do you integrate your movement towards having a relationship
with God or a better relationship and past life regression
does I'm curious about different religions, not just Judaism and
Christianity and whatever, but I'm curious about beliefs about you know,
reincarnation and things like that, and how do people who
who don't generally subscribe to that, how do they integrate
(18:27):
past life regression then or future life progression with their
belief system? Then how does that work?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I think that's the beauty of the process is that
there is no doctrine for it. So my takeaway from
my first session could have been this is all a
bunch of bullshit. I was told that I was going
to be healed, not the practitioner did not tell that
or tell me I was going to be healed. But
that was just a lot of the a lot of
what I was reading. I could have said that was bullshit,
(18:56):
but I walked away with whatever takeaway I wanted to
walk away with. I guess there really isn't an incorporation
of God per se, other than if someone wants to
allow it to strengthen their relationship with God. If it
brings them closer or further away, I think that's completely
up to the individual. For me personally, I think it
(19:19):
has strengthened my relationship or just my belief in God,
because there's like this vastness that comes into the fold
once you go through the experience, where you just see
that there is so much more here. And even if
it's not real. If what you experienced during a regression
is not real and it's just you're subconscious projecting an
(19:43):
image or story to make something more tangible for you,
that's fine. An example I use is you can have
a regression. Let's just say I would do a regression
with you. And have you ever been to South Dakota before?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, so let's say that you went back to
the nineteen twenties in let's just say Bismarck, North Dakota,
and you knew that because we we spent the time
looking for evidence of where you were in the time period,
which I don't generally do because I don't think it
helps it all. But let's just say right now, that's
(20:21):
what we did. So you saw, you know, a newspaper
article it said March fourteenth, nineteen twenty three, and then
when I had you go to your house, you said, oh,
I'm on one two three four Bismarck Lane, and you
took in the details of that house. Let's say it
was a brick house that would still be standing today,
(20:41):
but you took in every little detail. Then you went
and did the research later on, and you found that
same house today in twenty twenty five when we're recording this,
and you're like, that's the house I saw. I've never
been to Bismarck before. I didn't even know Bismarck existed.
I thought it was just just you know, a cake mix.
(21:01):
And that means that this is real. That means that
I lived in that house because that's the one I saw,
and I've never seen it before. So how could I
know this? How could I know these little details. Yeah,
sure there's a tree that's missing, and yeah, the bricks
are a little more aged, but everything else is right.
So that's the proof. I personally don't believe that that's
(21:23):
the proof, because maybe we're being a little closed minded here.
I'm inclined to believe that it was your life. But
to me, that's just proof that there's something else that
there's something you're plugged into that is allowing you to
see this, And could you call it a coincidence? Yes,
I don't believe it would be to that extent, but
(21:45):
that could just be proof that you were plugged into
something bigger and drawing from something else, and that image
took you to one hundred years in our past to
draw that information out of now, because what was most
important for you to see from that life the shitty
relationship that that person had with their family, okay, and
the parallel that it runs to your life now. So
(22:07):
it's more of a of a tangible understanding that you
get in that respect to see something on display from
a third person point of view. And when it comes
down to it, I don't care. I know that makes
me a bad past life aggressionist or bad for the
industry to say that, But to me, it's about what
you take away from it, yeah, and that if it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Helps me bad, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I know that. I there are other past life reggreionts
who would listen to this and be just tearing their
hair out, like how dare you say that? It's like
does it matter? Do we really need to cling on
to our system so much that We're like, this is
the way that it is. Absolutely we know every part
of this. We know that if you see that, that
is your proof, because how else could you know that? No,
(22:51):
I think it's just proof that there's something else we
don't quite understand.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
That's well, because people have asked me, how do you
how do I know this is real? And I'll say,
it doesn't matter. How does it affect your life? How
does it affect your current life? So I'm with you.
I'm with you there. On the other hand, let me
just say, let me just say, the only reason why
(23:15):
I have a belief that we reincarnate is because of
an experience like that. I'm very like science y, like no, no, no,
one plus one equals too. But I had a one
plus one equals giraffe freaking moment and I could not
explain that away. And it's the only reason why I
know that. I feel like it's a knowing honestly, and
(23:38):
though in your definition it might be a belief, but
that that past life was real and literally what you
just said is exactly what happened. I saw this building.
I saw this building. I knew at that point, I'm like,
holy fuck, that there is no way that I could
know this isn't the thirteen hundreds, How could I know
(24:02):
it's crazy? And so yeah, But also it doesn't matter
because it affected. It impacted my present life in such
a way that that's the part that mattered. But of
course it's like fascinating still, right.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, it's I think it's just it's a tool that's
at our disposal, and for someone like me, who I've
pretty much now built my life around the concept of reincarnation, yeah,
it's okay if it's not real, you know, it's I
don't think that that when I die, if I look
(24:39):
back on this again, it could be like, oh, well no,
there is no reflection, because there is nothing. But I
don't believe that I would look back and say that
was a life wasted or or you were a huckster,
because I'm not out here saying right now that this
is absolutely the way it is, and I am not
out here speaking against anything that I may be questioning.
(25:03):
I'm being forthright about it, whereas I often wonder if
I spoke with more conviction about these things, if it
would be more lucrative for me. But the truth is
that I'm like, maybe, but it's wrong if I.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Do that, ah beautifully said.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Because I know better, and it shouldn't be about that.
It should be about what I believe to be the
totality of all existence, and that I should just be
the best person that I could be and do what
I think is the right thing to do. Now, of
course I have my moments of vanity. Hell, I had
(25:41):
that bar missful like I said earlier, But you were nine, No,
I was thirteen at the time. Still makes it a
little bit better. Yeah, maybe not, But I'm human. I'm
always going to falter. I'm always gonna trip along the way.
But I cannot in good conscience say that that. Well,
(26:05):
I didn't have to know better, it was okay. It's like, no,
if I know better, I need to rise above the fold.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, if I.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Can just help people reconnect with themselves and live a
more fulfilling life, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, geez, I feel like that's the most important thing.
Well done.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, that is the that is.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
The lucrative part. That's that is the most lucrative part.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Well, it's the most spiritually or spiritually lucrative part.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, it doesn't look in the bank account always, but yeah,
I feel like there's much more meaning with that.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I think, so do you matter if I actually say
one more thing on that?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It's like even with regards to my show on New Reality,
I do a show where I do past lives for people,
and when I started to put the feelers out to
bring people on, I had someone reach out to me
and say, you need to have this person on. It
is going to be the most multi dimensional show that
you're going to have. They're gonna have these alien lives
(27:07):
in everything. And I chose not to bring that person
on because that would have been the most lucrative choice
for me to make. And this also, if we can
even take a step further, this goes back to a
lot of the past life lessons that I believe that
I'm here to learn, which is to act responsibly and
(27:29):
if you have a position of authority, to use it
in the most responsible way you possibly can. As someone
who's a past life regressionist, it doesn't mean that I
know more about reincarnation than someone who isn't a past
life regressionist, but naturally people will view me as more
of an authority because it's like, well you do this, Yeah,
well I don't approve, so, but that comes with responsibility,
(27:52):
and to me, one of the things that's getting lost
in the industry right now is theanity of it because
it is becoming much more popular. I mean it is
really oh yeah, I mean it is catching on and
it's about those like sexy lives, so like when were
(28:14):
you an alien? Or when were you in Atlantis or
Lamaria or these lost civilizations or you know, right, And
while I think that's fascinating, I chose not to bring
that person on because at the end of the day,
I'm like, how is this really in help of viewer
live a more fulfilling life? Will this bring in more business? Yeah,
(28:36):
because most people are gonna want to see, you know,
at least watching Oh, I want to see when I
had a life in the ancient civilization of Atlantis, Like
that would be so cool. Not like, hey, you're gonna
cry your fucking eyes out right now and have this
deeply emotional experience. You're gonna have snot all over your face.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I suggest not wearing your eyeshadow because it's over. It's
not as sex and you know, like so i'd be
just there's one episode where I haven't aired it yet
but you know, if anyone watches it, it was like
a very meaning like because somethings you see more than
one life in a session, and very meaningful first life.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And then it shifted to one of those like ET
lives and I don't know if anyone be able to
see it come over my face, but in that moment,
I was just like, oh shit, it's happening. Like oh no,
I'm like, okay, this is episode fifteen or whatever. It's fine.
I've avoided it for the for the first fifteen, so
(29:35):
you know.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
All right, come on in ET yep.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Right, So I guess that I just kind of want
to paint that picture for everyone to Yeah, as a writer,
I think one of the most important things, or one
of the most fundamental lessons of being writer or rules
is show me, don't tell me. So now that you
guys understand a little bit where I'm coming from with
regards to that responsibility, if you look back and everything
(30:00):
I've said, it's me basically implementing what I've learned about
myself through past life regression and yeah, and doing the
best I think I can do.
Speaker 2 (30:11):

Thanks for listening, and I hope to see you on

(31:14):
regression session with you? You and I were both trained,
but by different people. You were trained by like the
Dolores Canon camp, QHT Quantum Healing and all that right,
and I was trained by doctor Brian Weiss, And I
don't know a lot about Dolores Canon. I just know
that she's wildly popular and lots of folks have done
(31:35):
work with her trainings, her strategies. I'm curious what people
can expect from a session specifically with you trained by
Delores Canon and doing and is it another question, is
quantum healing always in tandem with past life regression with
you or is that separate thing or how does that work?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
So I'm I'm training to two different modalities. One is
a QHHT, which is quantum healing hypnosis technique, and the
other is BQH which beyond quantum healing. So I utilize
both in my practice. It just depends on the location
of the session, okay, and the technical term for you know,
(32:18):
Dolores Cannon's version of past life regression is quantum healing
hypnosis technique, which also goes by past life regression. So
it does work in tandem in that respect, and it's
that healing at that deep quantum level, you know, that
level that you can't necessarily see. With regards to what
(32:39):
someone can expect out of a session, I can't tell you.
All I can tell you is what the process looks like. Cool.
So a session generally lasts about four to six hours
because I need to understand who you are in this life.
So we will spend the first hour to three hours
just talking about who you are in the here and now,
(33:00):
and we will go through your life story from birth
to today. And that's because of the patterns that will
present themselves in your session. And I need to know
what's important, because if I don't know what the patterns
are in this life, then it's going to be completely
lost on me when you are having the experience while
you're participating in the regression. So what kind of goes
(33:24):
with that then? Is the difference between me and a
past life reader. Is a past life reader tells you, oh,
you were this in a past life and you were
that this was the dynamic of that life, whereas what
I do is use hypnosis to put you in a
space where you experience it for yourself, and in turn,
you are communicating with me the entire time, and you're saying,
(33:48):
this is what I'm seeing, this is what i'm feeling,
this is what's happened. And based off of what you say,
I will then say, okay, well let's explore this a
little bit more. And that's because of everything you've told
me about your life in the here and now and
the patterns that are playing themselves out, and the actual
experience itself feels different for a lot of people. For
(34:10):
me personally, I see an image kind of being shown
to me. Sometimes it moves in slow motion, but there's
almost that sense of knowing what's going along with it
and this is what's happening, this is what I'm feeling.
So it's like even if you were injured in one
(34:31):
way or another, it's like you are aware that you're
being injured, but you just don't feel it. You're like, oh,
I just got stabbed. You're aware that it is, You're
aware of the pain that that version of you was feeling,
but you, as doctor Maria would not be like, oh
I'm gushing blood right now. Oh oh, It's just you're
(34:51):
aware of it.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
You're not re experiencing any trauma exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay, at least I haven't experienced that with anyone session.
That's not to say that that potential is not there.
I just have yet to discover it.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, And here's like also the point where'll you'll see
the threads. Although I always encourage everyone to not try
to figure it out at that point, because that then
comes with what we call speaking to the subconscious or
the sc I mean another term for it could be
the higher self or something we just haven't quite figured
out yet, And I would just simply explain it as
(35:28):
at that point in the session, we are unlocking access
to a part of your brain that you don't have
access to in your normal waking state. So ahead of time,
I will send everyone a questionnaire, which is basically questions
that you want to have answered about your life, anything
and everything. Why is your favorite color blue? Why do
you have these dreams of being in the wild West.
(35:49):
Why did your third grade teacher treat you like shit?
I mean anything in everything?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Why am I afraid of whales?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Exactly? Why you're strad of whale? And I'd be like, well,
maybe you were the subject for mobi Dick. So when
we get to that higher self portion or the subconscious
sc portion, that's when we ask the questions that that
you have come in with. And also that's when we
ask why weren't you shown the lives that you were shown?
What was the significance of that? And I can just say,
(36:17):
as a practitioner, the coolest thing to watch is that
if you allow the experience to unfold, everything will make sense.
Even if everything seems like such a jumbled mess just
when you're going through it, it will all make sense.
At the end. The thread will be there, and it's
cool when you see like.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Eh, okay, all right, god right.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
And that's also the part where a lot of the
release can take place. So when these things come up
and you see that, oh, something happened, and then we
identify it as okay, this is something that needs to
be released on an energetic level, that's when we go
through the process of releasing it. But what I've also
(37:00):
kind of come to understand in my you know, nearly
a decade of doing this at this point, is that
I don't think all things are meant to be released.
I think that that's a great oh say that again,
that not all things are meant to be released, That
some things are meant to stay with you and not
as a punishment, but because it shapes who you are
(37:23):
and releasing it would not be beneficial. And also at
that point I kind of just trust that if this
is not being released, look, sometimes it can be because
of the individual and because they are not allowing something
to be released. But the other times it's kind of
like the the subconscious or higher self saying like no
(37:47):
now or now is not the time, or just no,
but you no. In all that observation, I'm just really
coming this place that I don't think everything is meant
to be released. So yeah, I just I think that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
That's just so profound. It's true. It shapes who we are.
Do you feel like that is why you've heard that
others are you know, suddenly healed and you still struggle
with I don't even know if now, but after your
first session that you didn't suddenly become completely healed from
autoimmune stuff? Do you feel like you needed that in
(38:25):
your life?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Look, I mean even to this day, I'm not I'm
better than I was at that time needed it. I
don't believe so, because I don't believe it was something
I really clinged on to. I saw how I would
like I said, I would look at myself in the
mirror and see myself as such. But I don't think
(38:51):
it was something I ever said, how will I live
without this? What will I do when this is no
longer here? And the honestry is, if I'm being honest,
I think that there were that I may have had
biological predispositions to something and that it was brought on
(39:12):
by an emotional state. Good all eupigenetics, and it's it's
not something I've fully dealt with yet, you know, whatever
it is that that may still be keeping me in
that space a bit, something that I may have for
reluctance to look at or accept, or maybe I could
just be playing the biggest con on myself and this
(39:36):
was all a byproduct of my need to avoid something.
So it's like, oh, well, let's just you. It's a
sick handicap on me. Again, it's not a handicap I have,
but it's like, oh no, you'll need to identify with this.
That's the only way that you'll feel fulfilled, and that's
the only way you'll take yourself seriously, and that'll be
your excuse for not going out there in the world
(39:57):
and doing things.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Excuse do you feel like it's shaped you?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I mean, how could I not feel that it shaped
me in one way or another?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
But it led you to pass life regression?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
It did, And I can say that I never would
have found it had it not been for that. But
what I can say with certainty is I never would
have found it when I did if it weren't for that,
because even though it kind of fell into my lap,
it would happen to be like I said, in a
writing class. It was a memoi of writing class. Even
(40:31):
though I didn't like talking about myself at the time,
but I felt the draw to that class when I
saw it in the catalog. I didn't understand it, and
I never wrote about myself in that class. I just
wrote a bunch of fiction. And even for the first assignment,
it was a married couple who were the instructors, and
they said, oh my god, that happened to you. I said, no,
that's I mean. They were great. They just encouraged me
(40:52):
to see, well, here, I'll you may enjoy this story.
So the way that it came up was one week
for the assignment and I just brought my guitar in.
He said, the whole class was about writing your own memoir.
So one week I write, you know, I wrote the
scene that was just yeah, completely a fabrication. Again, I
owned up to it, though, and I just kept doing that.
(41:14):
One week, I'm like, I'm going to bring my guitar
in and I'm going to play a song that I wrote,
and this song was called will a Kiss Remind You?
And the concept of this song was about finding a
lost love in another life. Oh and so WHOA all right?
And the instructors they said to me after I finished,
they said, have you ever heard of past life progression before?
(41:35):
I was like, no, what's that? And they shared their
experience from a Brian Weiss seminar that they were at about,
you know, an experience that they had. I mean, it
was a great story and it was just it was
this love story of I think it took place during
World War One, if I remember correctly, and I believe
(41:55):
he saw himself as a soldier and she had seen
herself as the wife of a soldier who went off
to war, and but their experiences overlapped and he ended
up dying. But they didn't say anything to each other,
like once it was done, They're like, we'll talk about
it when we get back in the car. And the
(42:15):
skeptic that I was, I couldn't ignore their experience because
I'd gotten to know them over the you know, the
quarter at that point.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
They were reasonable people.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Very reasonable, and I'm like, these are not the type
of people that would fabricate this and they have no reason,
like we're in a course about memoir writing. Yeah, and
they just happened to bring this up right now, like
they're not gonna win, you know, Brownie points with everybody
like doing this, like there's a clout. So I took
their experience to heart and like, okay, But why I
(42:52):
mean I also bring that up is because right before that,
I I went and got my genial done because in
my mind, though as inflated as it was back then,
like I'm still working on it, but back then, I'm like, oh, yeah,
I can figure out something that the scientists haven't figured
out now or the researchers. I'm going to find something
(43:15):
in the genetic lineage of migration patterns as being the
cause of my autoimmune issues. That's the shit that I
told myself. And then I got my results back. It's like, oh,
you're ninety seven percent Eastern European jew It's like fashion fall.
(43:36):
So it was like I hit that brick wand I'm like, well,
the genealogy route was a bust. And then they bring
this up. I kid you not. This is all within
the span of a couple of days. It's like I
was defeated, and then they brought that up, and it's like, Okay,
I'm going to lean into this now because I'm like,
something about this feels right, because I felt like I
(43:58):
had set out on this quest and even said an
intention without knowing it, like I need to go back
to my roots to understand this. That was just far
beyond the scope of what I was thinking at the time,
Like I don't think of past lives. I was just thinking,
you know, the genetic line. Yeah, so that again, that's
(44:19):
why I say I wouldn't have found it then I
may I would have. I mean, I think at some
point I would have come across it. But all I
can say with certainty is that this was the path
that I did take, and it did happen because I
was trying to get to the root of that. And
you know. But then, as I'm saying out loud, I'm like, oh,
(44:41):
I did write that song about four years before that,
so I don't know, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
May have had an inkling before that. I like how
you said it felt right, which is not the science
y mind, that's the intuitive mind, right, And it's like
you're you're pulling in both right.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Oh well, just yeah, last thing on that. That was
also a weird time for me because my stepmom had
just passed away a few months before. And what really
ultimately brought me around to all of this was a
book that I read back in the summer of twenty fourteen,
and when my stepmom was in the hospital, her sister
talked about a book called Heaven Is for Real. And
(45:21):
I remember just like rolling my eyes in my head
when she was talking about it was about a kid
who had a past life. I'm sorry, I in your
death experience, yeah, and you know, seeing God. I'm like,
ye O, get whatever. But a few months later, I
found myself at this place where I'm like, I want
to believe that my stepmom is in a better place.
So I'm going to go check out that book. And
(45:42):
I went on Amazon to buy it, and I read
the description. I'm like, I can't. I just I can't
because there were there were other things in there that
were a little more religious, and I just.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Thought more religious.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, yeah, it's being nice about it.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, it was a lot.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I wanted to you, but I couldn't. But right beneath
it was one of those suggested or suggested reads for
whatever or other books that we'd suggest for you, And
there was a book called Proof of Heaven. I'm like, oh,
we look at that, and I saw it was written
by someone who was a neurosurgeon, and my skeptical mind
(46:21):
kicked in, or the not my skeptical mind, but the
cynic in me who's always going to look at these things.
And I just kept saying, I don't fully know this
guy's financial situation, but it's probably okay, So this guy
has everything to lose and not much to gain exactly,
So why would he subject himself to putting this story
(46:42):
out of this experience that he had when he risks
being completely ostracized by all of his peers And I
don't buy his fan and just whatever it is. I'm like,
there's just too much to risk here, whereas the other book,
not to take away from the validity of it, but
I'm like, they have a lot more to gain potentially
by sharing this experience. And that again not to say
(47:04):
that it wasn't real, but that's just the way that
my mind works and worked. And I'm like, yeah, and
a lot.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Of folks minds, a lot of folks minds. Yeah, that's
doctor Eben Alexander, by the way, such a great book,
great books. Got to pick it up.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, And when I read it, I just kept saying
to myself, I don't know if his experience was real,
but I can tell that he was moved enough by
it to believe that it was real, and that it
did something for him and shifted his perception of his reality.
And he still he risked everything by putting it out
(47:39):
there get at least from my perception. I don't know everything,
but the way I saw it is he just has
so much to lose and not a.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Neurosurgeon, yes, very well established in the medical field, and yeah,
he had a lot to lose, a lot.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
So it was just it was around that time when
I set that intention, just saying like, I need to
get to my roots and understand myself in a much
deeper way. And so that's why I said, I went
the genealogy're out and then it's like a past life
aggression plopped in your lap.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah, Okay, I have a final question because I'm I'm
curious about if folks have come back to you, because
I also had a very similar, profound, several profound experiences
of past life regression finally and clearly you have. I'm
wondering if you've had clients who have come back and
(48:32):
told you about the aftermath, like what happened after, and
if you've heard people have these sort of oh my gosh,
this is how my life has changed because of that experience. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
I can think of a few.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Yeah, yeah, not that you would say there they are details,
But I'm curious about that if if that is like
the point, right is to make these big maybe not
but even subtle changes in folks lives.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
I mean, there have been some that have made huge choice,
you know, or a huge shifts as a result of it,
and you know, I think the others that are just
that look at the world differently. The common one is
I see people put themselves out there a lot more
because I think there is a layer of fear that's
really released. And it's like seeing a part of yourself
(49:29):
that you felt but didn't really know that it was there,
but then it becomes more tangible. And it's not to
say that you're going to come back speaking French if
you never have before, but it's like seeing there is
a facet of your soul in a sense that is there,
like you have this power within you and this courage
and the strength whatever it may be, and it gives
(49:51):
you that courage and strength to go in a different direction.
And look, I can there's one I mean, I know
that I can share because it's this is a friend
of mine who I've had on my podcast, and you know,
she shared the experience, so it's you know, in great detail,
and this is I mean even for me personally. This
(50:11):
was a session I did two years into being a
past life regressionist and it really opened up my eyes
to what was important. And it was about her fiancee
who passed away a couple months prior, and she didn't
think that there was really a connection there, but she
saw that they were together another life. And we did
(50:32):
another aggression and he he came in, you know as
as like a presence again and basically showed her who
her husband would be and said like this is the
man who's coming and and it's like one of those
things where it's like, Okay, I want you to feel
his presence right now, so when you like, he may
not look how you're seeing him, but you'll know the feeling.
(50:54):
And then she reaches out to me. You know, it's like,
it's him, I found it. This is like you know,
months later it was him. It was who David showed
me it's hit. And then you know she got married
to him. They had a kid recently, and that's amazing, right,
But I'm going to bring that one up because it was,
(51:14):
especially in that first session, it was like she could
let go a little bit because it was like he
gave her that permission to let him go because he's like, yeah,
I want you to find that love and happiness, like
I'll always be with you. We've been with each other before,
We'll be with each other again. This is just what
(51:35):
I'm doing now. So like you go find him like
it's okay, and so it's like you can let go.
And that's the session that changed everything for me because
up until that point, i'd be disappointed if I didn't
have a session where it was like aliens or ancient
civilizations because at that time, like that's what's cool. But
(51:55):
that session showed me that, no, this is the shit
that really matters, the stuff that has to do with
the heart in really moving forward in life. It's like
that changed me as a practitioner, and and I don't
know if anything will ever be able to top that.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
Mic Drop, Daniel, Mike Drop, that's I think you're right.
You know, we're talking about all these you know, not
you and I, but lots of folks out there are
talking about all these phenomenal things, and you know, they
go to psychic getings and am I going to be
the billionaire that I want to be? And am I
going to be this famous person or whatever? Like what
(52:31):
is my life going to look like? But does that
really matter? If you're not living a fearless life? Does
that really matter? If you're not living fully who you
are and being seen for who you really are? And gosh,
I don't think there's anything more beautiful than that. So
thank you. I think that is the point.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, I think yeah, kind is. Yeah, trying to figure
it out, but for now I'd agree with you until
I can come back and say.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Oh no, yeah, there's that I don't know, suspending judgment feeling.
That's awesome, Daniel, Thanks so much. I appreciate your wisdom
and your insights and your I don't know, I'm open attitude.
I think that's fantastic. It's wonderful.
