1:33 Pretty good. Thank you so much for having me today.

1:36 Thank you so much for flying down to Next Level Soul Studios. I appreciate it, my friend.

1:40 You're very welcome. My pleasure.

1:42 So you have had an interesting life, to say the least. You've died twice, and then that opened up your psychic abilities and mediumship as well, right?

1:53 Yes.

1:54 So you do both psychic and medium. I've always been told you can be a psychic and don't have to be a medium, but you can't be a medium without being a psychic.

2:00 Right.

2:00 Is that true? Right. So take us back to your first near death. It was young, right? So it didn't. Can you talk a little bit about that? The 14 year old when you were 14 is when it really.

2:12 That was the that was the big one. When I was born, I was born six months. I was born two months early. I was taking cesarean section because my mother had toxemia. So when they cut my mother to take me out, I jumped up and threw my arms. Doctor says, I hope you're ready for this one. So that was, I believe that was a near-death experience. I was in an incubator for quite a while before they could take me home. But at 14, I believe that that first one at birth, I believe that that was kind of my ability to choose whether to go or stay because I've got a pretty big plate. this time around.

2:55 And at 14, I was kind of aimlessly lost and difficult process. And the near death experience at 14 is the one that quickened me and woken me up, awakened my gifts inside of me. I didn't know it at the time. About two days after the near death experience, everything that is, every blade of grass, every tree, Every leaf, every person had a thin golden aura around it. Something's off.

3:30 Something's different. Something's new. And then I went to my grandmother's that summer and found a deck of tarot cards in a drawer for which there was no explanation at the time. And they came to life for me. And I was like, wow, these really work.

3:46 And this is 14. This is after? This is after. All right, so before, did you have any inclination in regards to psychic abilities, mediumship? Did you see dead people walking around? Anything at all? No. So you were, yeah. It was dormant.

4:02 I can recount being three or four years old and driving by a drive-in in a nearby town and seeing a shadow person.

4:14 You mean a shadow person meaning like a spirit? Uh-huh.

4:17 A shadow person, the big hat and the cape and that sort of thing. And it was in October, so my mother threw it off that it was just a Halloween costume.

4:26 So did they almost look like a Dementor from Harry Potter?

4:29 Almost.

4:30 Almost, right? Something like that.

4:31 Yeah, the big brimmed hat and the cape, the flowing cape.

4:35 Interesting. So what is a shadow person? That's not a spirit. It's something else.

4:40 I'm not even sure how to describe it. I believe that they're a lower level entity that comes to bring fear.

4:52 It feeds off of it.

4:52 It feeds off of fear.

4:53 Very much like a Dementor. Yes.

4:55 Very much like a Dementor.

4:57 I wonder where she got that from. I wonder. I wonder where she got that from. That's interesting. Okay, so you're 14. What leads up to your death? Because generally 14-year-olds don't have near-death experiences.

5:15 Well, I'm not proud of it, but I was a very, very lonely young fella. I was raised in East Central Indiana in the 60s and 70s. I didn't realize it. Well, I realized it at the time that I was actually growing up gay. And that was a lonely existence. And... And I met a friend who taught me to huff gasoline.

5:40 And please don't do it. It's not a good thing. It can actually kill you. And it was Memorial Day weekend, 1979, Sunday. I was huffing gasoline and huffed for probably two hours straight.

5:57 Oh, Jesus.

5:58 And I wasn't a smart child. Okay.

6:02 And that wasn't helping your intelligence.

6:03 It wasn't helping my intelligence either. But it was a way of coping. It was a way of escaping the reality of things. And I left my body. I left my body. I went up and hovered above my body. And you were alone? I was alone.

6:22 Okay.

6:23 And there was a voice that spoke to me and was coaxing me to let go. Just let go. Come with me.

6:29 Let go.

6:31 Everything will be fine. And it was like, this doesn't feel like a right voice. And I didn't trust it. And then just then my dad lifts the garage door and I was shoved back in my body instantaneously. He saved my life. He saved my life. So I was just hovering above my body. And I believe it's in that moment that that experience is the experience that opened my gifts wide open.

7:02 You basically had an out-of-body experience. You were dying or might have been.

7:07 I was on the path to death.

7:09 What I find interesting about this story is that you had a voice talking to you, but you didn't trust the voice. What do you think that voice was? Negative. It was negative. It wasn't something positive.

7:24 I think it was lower energy trying to snuff me out because I'm here for a purpose.

7:30 Interesting. Have you dealt with those energies since?

7:33 A couple times.

7:34 Yeah.

7:35 When I was first opening up, I had something lay down on the bed with me and whisper my name.

7:40 Oh, that's fun.

7:41 Oh, yeah.

7:42 Great for Halloween.

7:43 Right. Great night's sleep that night.

7:45 Jesus. Yeah.

7:48 Yeah. But then that's when I was introduced to my first guide is when that experience happened. Then I literally had this experience where my guide crystal came in over top of me and said, you know, this is a negative force. This is something that you need to resist. And it was at that point that my gifts really started to take off.

8:13 I wanted to ask you about something because it's something that's kind of come up into my life recently in regards to negative entities, negative energy. And it's something I've been, you know, discussing with other contemporaries of yours. And I find it kind of fascinating because when we talk about like the astral realms and we talk about negative spirits and we talk about like hauntings and things like that, my understanding of hauntings and please tell me your experiences, obviously, are ghosts, not ghosts, but spirits or fractals or echoes of spirit that are trapped in almost a loop of a traumatic experience. So I had a story, I had someone come on that day. There was a haunting in a house and they say, one o'clock, everything's going to

9:03 go crazy. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't feel anything. And at one o'clock, it's a Civil War or World War I. It was Civil War, World War I hospital, makeshift hospital. I think it was a Civil War. And there's nurses and there's bodies everywhere and blood's all... And it's all these spirits that are kind of caught in that loop. So that's one thing. That's not particularly negative.

9:26 They might just not want you there because they're going through their own stuff. Does that make sense what I'm saying?

9:30 Yes.

9:31 Oh, that makes sense. Okay. Absolutely. But then you're talking about negative entities, which are the lower level energies who are our spirit as well, but they just haven't evolved themselves out of it yet.

9:43 Right.

9:44 So... They feed on fear. They try to create fear and all of that.

9:49 Create fear, create diversions from your process, from your direction.

9:54 And the bigger the mission, the more intense that could be, depending. on what you're here to do. Because they don't want to see happiness. They don't want to see evolution. Is that all? Right.

10:05 They don't want to see edification. They don't want to see people aided, helped, assist.

10:10 So they're there to kind of mess it. But the thing is that they are essentially light is much more powerful.

10:16 Yes. Always.

10:17 Always. Always. So the light that you generate yourself, and also I've heard stories in near-death experiences where people go through a hellish experience, where they go down because they were either Catholic or they were in their religion or they're, you know, a patterning in their brain. They believe that they need to go through that. So they go through it.

10:41 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now, back to the show.

10:51 All the time, every single one that I've at least interviewed that had a negative near-death experience, when they come down and they're stuck there for days, let's say, all they do is ask once, I need help. Can someone come and help me? Ask when Archangel Michael or an archangel shows up or Jesus shows up or someone, and it's light and they just scatter. Is that essentially the way it works?

11:15 I believe that.

11:17 Yeah? Yes. Do you remember the movie Ghost, of course?

11:22 Oh, yes.

11:22 Yeah. It gets a lot of things right.

11:25 It does.

11:26 It gets a lot of things right.

11:28 I don't necessarily agree with the dark things coming up out of the ground and yanking you off to hell.

11:34 Right. There's that.

11:37 But there was a lot of truth in that.

11:40 Oh, I mean a lot of truth. Because the more I've spoken to so many– psychic mediums and I look at Whoopi and what she did in that movie and what the whole, all of that stuff is pretty accurate. But I was going to bring up the negative energies, those, we'll call them dementors for lack of a better word right now, pulling the soul into a hellish, who knows where they were being pulled into. But that's kind of the kind of low level energy you're talking about, like these kind of ground dwelling, very low energy, basic energies.

12:13 Is that true? Yes. So what can someone do to protect themselves? Because I've heard of many in the Eastern philosophies and the Vedic chants and mantras that help give you protection, meditations. What do you do?

12:26 Whenever I feel something like that, I immediately stop and I say anything that cannot or will not walk in the light of Christ must depart now and God bless you. That usually does the trick. Sometimes I have to actually pull away and go into a state of meditation. I mean, I had a situation last night where I had something trying to affect me as I was trying to go to sleep. And I'm just like, I had to rebuke three times. And then it stopped. And I was able to get a peaceful night's sleep. So it does happen.

12:59 And I find that it happens most with me to try to. prevent me from doing or achieving something that I'm trying to achieve for the good of the whole.

13:11 And being on the show would be one of those things.

13:13 Being on the show would be one of those things.

13:15 So they were trying to slow you down or stop you.

13:18 Confuse me, work me up.

13:21 Interesting. And there's a difference between, and this is, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, because so many of us think we have spirit guides. We have our loved ones. We have Protectors we have ascended masters. We have angels around the guardian angels all these things But yet these these entities still are able to get through so can you explain to me? What the difference is between?

13:46 your guardian angel which or your ascended masters or your spirit guides any of these who are there to protect you on the Macro level I guess right but this seems to be a micro level kind of situation that they don't get involved in unless asked to unless you ask for assistance. I'm just trying to understand.

14:04 I believe that we're always in the palm of the hand of God. I believe that we're always protected. But I believe that these little incidents, like last night, came to teach me something. Right. You're never out of grace, but you're permitted to be challenged and tested for your own ability to grow and learn.

14:26 Yeah, because it's kind of like a parent. who constantly is protecting the child from the world. But the moment that the parent is not there, the real world comes up. Yes. And you're not prepared. Yes. You're not prepared. What are taxes? Do I have to pay taxes? My parents paid my taxes all this time. Laundry, what is that? I just all showed up and my clothes were always clean, you know?

14:48 And that happens all the time. Right. You know, all the time. Yeah. Especially if you have a Latino mother like I did. It took me a minute to kind of get over. I had to break free from that and just go, hey, I'm going to do my own laundry. I've got to figure this out.

15:04 Exactly.

15:06 I love you, Mom.

15:07 I'll never forget the day that I was getting up at 730 in the morning to go to work and realize I was like 21. And I'm like, I'm going to have to do this for the rest of my life until I'm. It isn't true. I don't have to get up at 7.30 every morning, but I realize, oh, I have to do this the rest of my life.

15:30 Terry, one thing I feel about you is that you're such a gentle energy, a gentle soul.

15:37 I pride myself on that.

15:39 Yeah, you're very gentle. There's a kindness that comes from you. There's a gentleness that comes from you. Your energy kind of just says that. And as you're telling me, like, yeah, something last night was trying to get to me. I'm like, It almost senses like, oh yeah, he's an easy target because he seems so gentle and so kind. You're not like this warrior or anything like that. The energy, I'm sure you are a warrior in many ways in your life.

16:04 Need to be, I will be.

16:06 Correct. But generally, you're baseline. Yes. Very kind, very gentle.

16:10 Yes.

16:11 It must be more difficult doing the work that you do because you obviously are an empath. Obviously, you feel people's energy. How do you kind of do the work? and yet still, because there's a lot of empathic people listening, and a lot of people who are gentle and kind in their everyday life, but the world, rough sometimes. And it seems to be getting rougher in areas of the world.

16:35 So how do you deal with that? How do you kind of, like protect your energy? That's a big question, is how do you protect your energy from other people's either jealousies or other people's hatred or other people, because I gotta believe, Or you've dealt with this.

16:53 Right.

16:53 Yeah, I mean, an example that I can think of is there was at one point I had another local psychic in my area, the Bay Area, who actually sent someone to do a 15-minute telephone reading with me so they could trash me on Yelp. And it was all taken out of context. It was all completely, totally misconstrued.

17:20 And when I looked at this woman's reviews, it's like, aha, six positive reviews for XYZ, and here I am being trash. And that was enough for me. I'm like, oh, it's jealousy. I don't need to deal with this. Let it go. It gets hard, though, because sometimes you deal with difficult people.

17:44 Stop it.

17:46 Difficult people and– unbelievable situations. And I just, when it's over, I step away, I brush off, I ask for renewal, I cleanse, put it in perspective.

18:03 But do you go through a daily ritual of kind of like protecting yourself and cleansing yourself? Cause I got to imagine the energies that you deal with on a daily basis, doing the work you do is difficult. Just like a simple cycle is a simple, as I say, simple, A simple psychic reading or a simple medium, you know, a mediumship session where you're talking to a loved one, that's energy that's flowing through in and out of you.

18:25 And I mean, at a certain point, you got to cleanse that stuff.

18:28 You do need to cleanse it because if you don't, it builds up and like attracts like. Build it, build it, build it, build it. It can actually consume you if you don't clear it.

18:39 Interesting. How do you clear it?

18:42 Again, I step back and do a brief meditation. focus on white light, golden light coming in through the top of my head, pushing all of that out, relinquishing all of that, letting it go in God's name, light of God.

18:58 Were you raised religious?

19:00 I was not raised religious, but at 14, I had the near-death experience. I found the tarot cards. They came to life for me. I had my first relationship. And I went into the Pentecostal church all within a four-month period.

19:17 That seems like a lot. Yeah.

19:19 I really do it up, don't I?

19:20 How'd that work out, sir?

19:23 Actually, you know what? It worked out really well. I was so devout in my love of God and my love of Christ. And I really devoted myself to the Christian faith. And about three and a half years in, I started to see holes everywhere.

19:41 Mmm.

19:43 And....

19:45 You mean plot holes in the story. Uh.

19:49 holes in the faith interesting where's the love of christ oh yeah.

19:58 So you mean they're not really you mean the churches are not about what Christ actually spoke about. Right. Stop it. Right. And I mean, at 14, you figured this out at 14 or 17, 14 to 17.

20:09 Yeah. I'm like, hell of it.

20:12 More advanced than I was.

20:13 That's for sure. I'm like, you know, this just I mean, that was what I said when I left was where's.

20:18 The love of Christ?

20:21 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now, back to the show.

20:32 And nobody could give me an answer. It was just anger, haughty.

20:35 Right.

20:37 But, you know, my foundation is in Christianity. And I have, it's the foundation upon which my gifts were centered. At 14, when I gave my life to Christ, I was given multiple of the spiritual gifts. right then and there on the spot. I think that was the grand poobah opening the portal and really putting me in place to receive from spirit.

21:08 And I'm going to play devil's advocate, no pun intended here. According to the Christian faith, what you do as far as a psychic medium, you're the devil. This is the devil's work. So that's really interesting. You say the second I kind of opened myself up to Christ, maybe not the faith, but Christ, Christ itself, the energy of Christ consciousness, that's when these things opened up in you.

21:31 Yes.

21:32 It's pretty fast.

21:33 That's when they went into operation.

21:35 They opened up. They turned on. So when they turned on, how did a 14-year-old deal with that in a time... where they didn't have shows like this or even information like this other than in an occult book store or you pick.

21:51 Up an Edgar Cayce. Which there was nothing like that where I was raised.

21:54 Exactly. You might find an Edgar Cayce book in a library somewhere. That's really maybe a Jane Roberts, if you're lucky, kind of books or Alice Bailey.

22:04 It's interesting that you bring that up because my greatest source of help and strength was my Grandma Ruby. And she read every Edgar Cayce book, every Jane Roberts book.

22:16 Oh, at least Alice and Bailey, all of it.

22:19 Yes, all of it. Her favorite book was When God Was a Woman.

22:23 That's the name of the book? Yes. That's a genius name. I love it. Yep.

22:28 And she would always tell me, you have a very special mind. If you'll open it up and use it to its fullest potential, you've got great things to do. And she was my saving grace. She was my saving grace because I had no one. And I'm totally self-taught, Alex. I'm taught by spirit. It just, I let flow what needs to flow. Wow.

22:54 I love her name, Grandma Ruby.

22:55 Grandma Ruby.

22:56 That's beautiful. So she was there kind of helping you as a guide during those years?

23:01 In actuality, she had told me that when she was very little, four or five years old, When people would come to visit, she would come and lay her hand on their knee and prophesy.

23:14 Oh, so she had the gift.

23:17 And this is 1915, 16, rural Missouri. So literally, they started locking her up when people would come. So what ended up happening was she could feel and sense and receive. but she couldn't express anything that she got. So I believe, I get tears in my eyes, I believe that I'm in some way a product of her. And in some small way, I'm helping do for her what she wasn't able.

23:57 That's beautiful. But at least you had someone. Yes. Someone to help you along the path.

24:04 Yes.

24:06 60s and 70s, it was just starting to crackle open a little bit here and there.

24:11 My first crackle in this was about fourth grade. So I guess I was around 10 years old. Somebody asked me, a classmate asked me in the reading section of the room what I thought I was going to do for a living in my life. And I said, you know, I believe that I have some special sensitivities. And maybe I'm a psychic. I don't know. But I think maybe I'm going to be like a psychic psychotherapist. Now, I am not a psychotherapist. I am not licensed. I know my boundaries. And when I get into something where people need professional help, I refer them that direction. I'm not going to sit here. I feel I would be afraid that I would do harm.

25:05 Sure. Well, you have ethics. Yes. You have morals. Yes. Which is interesting. So, okay, so you start using your gifts. At what point did you decide to come out and start doing this publicly? Or how long did you kind of?

25:21 Well, when I found the cards, I started using them. I read from my grandma, and she's like, oh, we don't talk about that in the family. We don't talk about that. So I was starting to learn tact.

25:33 Don't walk in like, you know, Uncle Bob just came in and he likes to talk to you about something. You don't just say that at the family gathering.

25:42 Right.

25:43 Uncle Bob died five months ago. You don't do that.

25:45 Like in Ghost, you can't say that. You've got to water it down, girl. You in danger.

25:52 Girl, you in danger. They're going to kill you.

25:57 So, yeah, ethics and morals. And I try to put myself in the position of my client's. If I were in their shoes, this is what would be most helpful for me. This is how I would want to be treated.

26:22 Fair enough. Yeah. How do you receive the messages from Spirit?

26:28 A lot of different ways.

26:31 All the Claire's?

26:31 I'm sorry?

26:32 All the Claire's?

26:33 All the Claire's.

26:34 Okay.

26:34 Yeah, which... Clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairallance, which is clear smell.

26:44 Okay.

26:45 Phantom fragrance, clear smelling.

26:47 Smell cigars.

26:48 And clairgustance, which is clear taste.

26:54 Stop it.

26:55 Yeah.

26:56 I had a reading one time when I first started doing it for the public. I had two women in front of me, and I'm like... Ladies, I keep smelling popcorn and tasting popcorn, and I feel like there's some significance of popcorn. And they're like, oh, my God, we were just talking on the way over here about how much we love popcorn and that we're out and we have to stop at the store on the way home to get some. Well, that made all the difference in the world because now they know that I'm tuned in.

27:29 Right. And now that was the proof, the evidence that like, oh, something's going on here. Right.

27:33 One of the most powerful stories I have about Claire Allens, the clear smell. My mom died in 2014 and I came home from work about a week and a half later and a fox ran and jumped across the road in front of my car. And I'd never seen a fox in the wild before, and I'd never seen a fox fly like Rocky the Flying Squirrel. So it really stuck out. And when I got home, I said, Mom, you know, I feel like that fox had something to do with you. And I looked it up in my animal speak book, and it said anyone with a totem of fox would have an obsession with their hair. Well, kind of tough. But then my mother... To the day she died, if someone rang the doorbell, she'd make sure her hair was in place. So I felt it was

28:36 my mom, that this fox was a message from my mom. And then all of a sudden, Alex, my entire living room filled with the scent of Noxzema. And that's my mother.

28:49 Right.

28:50 And, you know, a few times before my dad passed away, he would tell me I woke up in the middle of the night and the room smelled like Noxzema.

29:00 He said that? Uh-huh.

29:01 With no Noxzema in the house. Interesting. So when mom comes in, it's Noxzema.

29:07 Interesting. So that happens often? The smell?

29:11 Not as often, but... I'll tell you, when smell occurs, it's usually a very– to me, it goes right into the soul. It's a deep, deep connection.

29:27 So what's your meat and potatoes way of getting messages?

29:31 Empathy.

29:33 You feel it. Empathic.

29:34 I feel everything.

29:36 But do you see any images in your mind? Yes. Do you actually– well those are those are psychic messages but how about like when you're seeing a a person do you see the soul on this like so is there anyone but next to me right now i'm just curious of course yes yes i have people around me yes of course I could probably name a few of them, but I won't. So you see them?

30:00 I don't see them. I feel them.

30:04 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now, back to the show.

30:14 But if you try to tune in, do you see them? Or how does that work?

30:19 It's very difficult to explain how you see emotionally.

30:23 So when I say see, you actually see something, like an entity, an image of something visual.

30:31 Usually I'm not big on seeing entities or spirits. It has happened.

30:39 Okay.

30:40 So you're more feeling than anything else.

30:42 Feeling. Feeling. clear audience I hear oh I hear everything sometimes you know somebody hasn't been in a relationship for 14 years and I've got ABBA above my head take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance I hear songs I hear movie lines I hear I hear voices I hear emotions I sense emotions I do see some but feeling hearing And sensing is really my strongest. It's difficult to describe how you can feel somebody from the inside out.

31:23 I kind of understand what you mean. It's a very deep connection.

31:27 So it'll come right up through the center of me?

31:29 Yeah. It seems like a very deep connection. Do you mind, can we do an experiment? Do you mind?

31:36 What's that?

31:38 If there's somebody here, can you just kind of find out who that person is and I can tell you yes or no. Again, we'll cut.

31:46 It out if you don't want to. I am not big on getting names, addresses, phone numbers, lottery numbers.

31:57 None of that.

31:58 The way that I work, Alex, is I'll ask someone, is there someone on the other side that you would like to connect with? And they say yes. And I say, may I have that person's name and may I know your relationship to them? When they give me the name and the relationship, I feel a vibrational tone go off in my heart.

32:19 Okay. The frequency, if you will. Yes.

32:21 So then when that matching tone comes in and connects, I know that that's the person. And then I start to emote and feel the messages and sensations that are supposed to be expressed.

32:36 Oh, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful way of doing it. You're unique in the way that you.

32:43 I'm unique in the way that I read Tarot. I'm self-taught. I'm taught by spirit. I'm unique in the way that I work in mediumship. And Alex, that is a very important message to everyone is everyone's gifts are absolutely unique. They're the same gifts, but they're unique for every person.

33:05 Well, yeah. I mean, not everyone's going to throw the basketball the same way. Right.

33:09 I mean, in 1 Corinthians, it talks about the gifts of the Spirit, and it talks about how unto each person is given as much as they would will, and that each person has the same gift given by the same God for the same work, but it's their own unique expression.

33:28 I got to ask you something that what I find fascinating with... People who judge other people, especially kind of the work that you do. Coming from a Christian faith, let's say, where I come from, Catholic faith, we discuss like what you do is frowned upon. It's like it's the devil's work. But yet if you're made of the same stuff, if God made you and God has given you these abilities because you have them regardless, how can they be bad? Like how can they be connected to the devil and all that kind of stuff? I just find that's one of the plot holes.

34:12 I believe that it reverts back to your intention because there's a passage in the Bible that says it's by your works that you're known. Well, before there's work, there has to be intention. So it's through the intention that you're known. I don't read cards and do mediumship to glorify the devil or any negative force. I do it to help people and to glorify God. I mean, I was given a prophecy at 14 that said, go forth and love my people in my name. That's what I do, is love God's people in God's name.

34:56 It's beautiful. Why do you think you were drawn to... the Christian faith, because I know you have a lineage of Amish in your line. Distant, but still there. Why do you think that in this life when you came in, this is the path you went down and you weren't born Hindu or you weren't born Muslim or you weren't born Jewish or another path. Why do you believe that this was the path? Because it seems like it's so natural for you.

35:27 I think it's a path that I've repeated over and over. I think I've had numerous lifetimes in Catholicism.

35:34 Got it.

35:36 A lot of lifetimes in France.

35:39 Have you been to France? Yes. And you felt– how is it when you go back?

35:43 Do you feel– I feel at home.

35:45 Yeah.

35:46 And oddly, my French teacher in school was from Kentucky. So bonjour, bonjour, class. Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui? But somehow out of that– When I speak, French people will ask me if I'm from Toulouse.

36:07 Because of the accent.

36:08 Because of the accent. And I've never been to Toulouse in this life. But when I was in fourth grade, again, fourth grade, we were studying Europe and the teacher said, OK, based on its position and based on what you know about France, what do you think it would what you think it would be like? What would And I described the steps up to Sacre Coeur. And the teacher turns over a picture and it's the steps up to Sacre Coeur.

36:41 Yeah. So, yeah.

36:44 That probably freaked her out. I think it was a repeat of something that I had done over and over and over. And I'm very strong on spiritual truth and freedom. I'm more about the do's than the don'ts. And I think that I came in this time to experience this so that I could undo all the don'ts that I had been up against in my life and be more on the freedom of the do's, the doing of what is right.

37:20 From Spirit's perspective right now, what is humanity struggling with the most at this moment in history?

37:29 Humility.

37:31 That's a good one.

37:32 Connection to their own consciousness and their respect for one another.

37:39 Powerful and very true.

37:42 And it shakes me to my core.

37:45 Let's connect with each one of those. So the first one is being humble, humility. Throughout history, it seems that humanity is always trying to dominate and trying to control and trying to conquer. And it's led us to this point. I feel the energy is a bit changing now where the divine feminine seems to be coming back up because it's what we need at this point. We needed the masculine for a long time. And it's not to say the masculine is bad. It's just a different energy. There's a yin and a yang. We have to balance it.

38:20 And we've been forcing, you know, all this kind of like cock-a-cock-a-cock-a-cock, but we need to bring up the divine feminine, which is what's happening right now. Do you agree with like, That you feel the same thing?

38:32 Yes.

38:32 That that is kind of shifting?

38:34 Yes. It's kind of doing this right now.

38:37 Going back and forth a little bit. Yeah.

38:40 But the feminine essence is rising. The essence of spirit is rising.

38:45 Because humanity is always, no matter what time of history, we all have it figured out. At any time and moment in history, we're like, yep, we know how the universe works. It's Zeus. It's, yes, we revolve around, the universe revolves around us. They have it figured out no matter where we are in history. They're never humble enough to understand we don't know everything.

39:08 Right.

39:09 And you're always learning and you're always growing. Right. And I think that's one of the biggest things, one of the bigger problems we have. Right. Right now, right? Right. So what's about the second one?

39:21 I don't remember what the second one was.

39:22 So it was humility. It was... Humility, it was discovering our own consciousness.

39:31 Yeah. Connecting with your consciousness and the consciousness of others. I think technology has done a lot of damage. Everybody, if they don't have their cell phone or their iPad, they're kind of lost. And I feel like that's kind of distracted and taken– the sensitivity out of people. Another example would be video games. I think video games have deadened people's, I mean, Oh, I killed 15 of them and it deadens the, the sentiment of what is actually real.

40:12 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.

40:22 And creates or has created a disconnect between people. And I believe that God wants us unified and not all running in 15 different directions.

40:37 Yeah, the thing I've been hearing lately is peak humanity. Have you heard of that term? When peak humanity was, it was basically the 90s. That was where we popped. Now we're on a downward spiral. I don't believe that. I don't believe that we've hit peak humanity.

40:54 I don't either. There's always room to go up.

40:56 Absolutely. And I think we are going up in many ways.

40:58 I think when we get there, it's going to be really, really, really good. But getting there, I think we're probably one of the hard-headedest species on the planet. In the universe.

41:12 Yes. We're taking our sweet time. Yes. Yes. Do you believe that there's– humanity right now seems to be going through a shift. There's no question about it. The energy of humanity, our consciousness is growing in ways. People are awakening in ways. Shows like this have a lot of eyeballs on it where this wouldn't have had any eyeballs on it 10 years ago, not nearly as many, or 15 or 20 years ago. Or when you were coming up in the 60s and 70s, can you imagine a show like this? Can you imagine an open conversation like this?

41:47 That would be insane. Yeah. We would be thrown away. We'd be thrown in some sort of psycho ward. Exactly. You know what I mean? I mean, I remember watching the– you remember Michael Jackson's Thriller? Mm-hmm. Do you remember the opening disclaimer? Mm-hmm. There was an opening, this is how crazy people were. This is 80, what, 84? I think it was.

42:14 I think so.

42:14 When Thriller showed up. It said, this is not part of the occult. This is not devil. It was something along like, this is not because of zombies. Because of zombies. Mm-hmm. Can you imagine?

42:27 And now we watch them on television series all the time. Right.

42:32 Walking dead.

42:32 They're eating one another and doing all kinds of crazy things.

42:35 Walking dead, baby, all day. You know, 10 seasons, whatever it is, the amount of seasons of it, it's one of the biggest shows ever. Right. It's fascinating how humanity goes. So you do agree that humanity is awakening and going. How do you foresee us evolving, is a general statement, over the next few years? Because we've had a rough five years. Since 2020, it's been a boy. Been a wild ride.

43:03 I wish I knew the timing on when and how things are going to be. I think there's going to be some pain involved with this. But ultimately, I feel like people are, it's like 9-11. When the buildings fell, everyone came together. I believe that it's going to, in a sense, maybe we're going to be forced to all come together and be unified. One thing that really concerns me is I think we're coming to a place where we're not going to know what is and isn't true.

43:40 Oh, I think we're getting to that place real quick.

43:42 Very quickly.

43:43 That's interesting. So when you don't understand what's true or not, you have to, with your eyes, you have to go in. Right. You have to go in.

43:53 That's why it's so important for people to connect with their consciousness and to find their own manifestation and expression of their own spiritual gifts.

44:03 It's interesting because like I'll look at an AI video and I have a trained eye being in the film industry so long. So I can kind of sense and I look at it. I'm like, oh, I can see the little things that don't make it human. But to the untrained eye, a lot of people are starting to buy a lot of this stuff. And this is just now in six months. in a year or two, in five years, this stuff is gonna be so good. It's gonna be like you and me. All the nuances of your eyes twitching, your moving, all the things that make us human are going to be emulated. But when you look at those videos, there is an energy associated to them, in my opinion. I'd love to hear what you think.

44:48 That there is an energy to these videos And you look at him, you just sense that that's not real.

44:54 There's a deadness to it.

44:56 Right, because it doesn't have soul. Right. You know, like when you film something, there is energy in the filming of it. Yes. The person filming it and the person in front of it. There is something there. I've been fooled a couple times, especially like when it's the security camera footage. And like there's a giant bear and this old lady is feeding the bear and the baby's in front.

45:22 And I'm like, is that an alligator coming up? And it gets so ridiculous. I can't be real. But, man, it kind of fooled me just a little for a second or two. But there is no energy. Would you agree?

45:37 Yes.

45:38 Absolutely. The energy. So there is energy to all of that. So let me ask you. With everything that's going on, what part of the future with humanity do you think technology will play? Because it's not going anywhere. AI is only going to get bigger and more part of our lives, very much like the Internet did when it came out in the 90s. Now it's in every aspect of our lives.

46:01 AI is going to do that much faster and much more all-inclusive, I believe. Spiritually, where do you think this is going to– how is this going to help us or hurt us?

46:12 I'm not really sure, but if I had to say something, I sense that it's going to help in a lot of ways. But it's also going to lead us to a sense of emptiness. And that emptiness, I think, is what's going to help open people's hearts and get them back into the human feeling, sensing, emotional part.

46:39 Is that... It's kind of the reason why people are going back to vinyl and going back to tapes. They're going back to tapes, audio tapes. They're going back to VHS, which is insane. Don't go back to VHS, please. I worked in a video store for a long time. Don't do this. But they want the textile. They want to feel again. They want to hold something. It's a way to connect to something more organic than, just a file in the cloud somewhere. Is that kind of where we're going? Uh-huh.

47:14 And my sister, like my sister says, I don't want to, I don't want to do this to read a book. I want to hold the book. I want to smell the book. I want to turn the pages. I want to feel it.

47:23 So the technology that's advancing so quickly, there'll be aspects of it that we will incorporate in our lives, but there'll be aspects that we'll reject. Yes. Because we want to connect to something.

47:34 There'll be aspects that some people reject, some people embrace, some people will, once people won't. Um, AI is great. I mean, I use AI to perfect my writing. That's the only way that I use AI.

47:46 Yeah.

47:47 So I'll write something and say, clean it up.

47:49 Right.

47:50 And it cleans it up.

47:51 And it cleans it up. It's still your voice. It's still your soul. It's just like, it's an editor. It's essentially an editor for you. Right. Like a book editor.

47:58 Right.

48:01 It's a weird and wacky place.

48:03 Yeah, we're right on a teetering, right on a precipice, seems like.

48:08 Do you believe that everyone who's been incarnated now at this time did it by choice because they wanted to be front row to arguably the greatest show in the universe at this point.

48:21 Yes.

48:22 Yeah? Yes.

48:24 Yeah. Yes. I don't know what else to say about that.

48:36 Well, let me ask you, what do you think is the greatest misconception people have About the work that you do.

48:43 That it's of the devil.

48:44 Well, there's that, of course.

48:46 And that I'm a cell phone to the other side. And that I guess the biggest and the hardest part of it, Alex, is people wanting it the way they want it. I've had people, I've had very disturbing experiences with people who are having connections with a loved one from the other side. And because of their own negative emotions involved, they will not, I had a woman tell me, I'm not believing anything you say to me until you tell me one specific word. And I'm like, ma'am, your husband is telling you that you had a fight 10 minutes before he died. And he wants you to know that that doesn't exist anywhere except in your mind and your heart. And you need to let it go so he can connect with you and that you can be

49:51 connected on different planes. She got up and walked out of my house. Because it didn't come with one single word. One of the things that I try to let people know is Come in with an open mind and listen closely because sometimes it's the little things that are said in a reading that are the biggest proof.

50:23 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.

50:30 I mean, the fact that, yeah, I picked up the fact that they had an argument 10 minutes before He passed away from a drug overdose. And I was absolutely accurate. Yes, she's angry. Yes, she's carrying it. That meant nothing. She wanted to hear the exact certain word. And hey, if you want to prove me wrong, you will.

50:56 What is also the biggest misconception people have of life on the other side, from your understanding, with dealing with these spirits?

51:04 A lot of people believe that it doesn't exist.

51:06 Well, there's that. Mm-hmm. There's that.

51:10 I don't know how to answer that question. The first thing that comes to me is everything that happens in spirit happens in order. Just because they don't come through today in a reading doesn't mean that they're not there or they're angry at you or they don't want to talk to you or I'm not psychic and not gifted as a medium. It just... They didn't get a hall pass today.

51:33 They just didn't show up.

51:34 They didn't show up.

51:34 Or they didn't want to show up. Right. I mean.

51:37 I have to prepare for readings, and the person who's having the reading really should prepare for the reading as well. Clear your heart. Write down your questions. Get a point of focus. What's most important for you to talk about?

51:55 People always have this thing that they attach. They attach humanness to the spirit world, like, Okay, is Uncle Bob, what is Uncle Bob doing today? Is he like on the golf course? Does he have a job? Does he have a cool apartment or a mansion somewhere? Like they throw these things out there because that's the only way their brains can kind of wrap around what's happening on the other side. But from my understanding, spirit is omnipresent.

52:23 So they can have multiple, like that's why Jesus is at everybody's near-death experience, you know, because he could be at multiple places at the same time.

52:31 Mm-hmm.

52:32 Because his oversoul, if you will, and the same thing happens with us. Is that correct?

52:38 Yeah, I had a woman come through one time and say, now I can be anywhere I want, whenever I want. And as many places as I want at the same time.

52:50 Interesting.

52:52 Wow, that's incredible.

52:54 Well, it seems to me like the walking masters here, I've studied a lot of Eastern medicine, Eastern thought, Eastern philosophies, and yogic philosophies, and that the yogis talked about biolocation, that they could be at two places at the same time. In the three-dimensional world, that's kind of where you can be.

53:12 You can't do 400 of them, but you can maybe do one or two if your skills get to a certain place or a vibration frequency. Does that all make sense to you? Yeah. It doesn't make sense?

53:23 Absolutely.

53:23 Absolutely.

53:27 I'm not there yet, but I'm working on it.

53:30 I'm actually in the other room running the cameras.

53:35 Wow. You're talented.

53:36 It's pretty amazing, isn't it? Adeville, you've done how many readings in your lifetime?

53:46 Oh, Alex.

53:47 Thousands?

53:48 Thousands.

53:48 Thousands. What is one that just sticks out that is like either the most, The strangest, the funniest, or the most transformative? Or maybe all three, if you can think of the stories.

53:59 The first one that comes to me is I was reading for a fellow, and he wanted to, he didn't like his job, and he wanted to start, he had a dream of starting a pizza place. And I said, six blocks to the east and three blocks to the south on the corner is the perfect space. And he went, and there was six blocks east and three blocks south was a place for rent. And he opened a pizza store.

54:31 And it was hugely successful for the duration.

54:34 Wow. I mean, pizza's good. Pizza's good. So that was a success story. Yeah.

54:41 And a funny story is at that same house, I was doing psychic readings for a group of people. And every time the door would open, there would be this little face peeking through at me. And when the day was over, the lady came in and she says, I know you're tired, but he is dying to ask you a question. This little four-year-old, three-year-old guy. And he comes running in and jumps up on my lap and he says, Mr.

55:09 Psychic Man, did you know I like pickles? That was his question. And, you know, that was as important to him as what it was. anybody else received that day. So I'm like, no, I did not know you like pickles, but now I do.

55:32 So. It's a leading question.

55:35 Yes.

55:36 If you're going to ask a psychic that question, like, what's my favorite food? That's the way you would present that question if you're testing them. Not like, do you know that pickles are my favorite food?

55:46 I do now.

55:47 Thank you for letting me know.

55:48 Bless his little heart.

55:51 So with all the craziness that's happening in the world and with all the changes that are happening, what is, in your opinion, the best way people can kind of prepare themselves for the massive awakenings and changes of consciousness that are happening and will continue to happen for the years to come? What can we do? Because it can be overwhelming, the change. There's so much change so fast.

56:13 I mean, AI is a perfect example. It's changing monthly, weekly. I mean, things that happened three months ago, you're like, well, that's old. It's fascinating. So that's just one aspect of it. But there's so much changes going on. What do you think?

56:26 With me, I'm really working on not reacting. Because if you react, they've got you. And going to that still soft place inside and, okay, this is what I'm feeling. This is what my reaction wants to do. But what is it that I'm supposed to do? What is best for me to do? What am I supposed to be feeling about this? How am I supposed to act on this? Again, it's that connection to the consciousness instead of just going off and reacting.

57:05 It's about going in. It's always about going within.

57:09 And this is the hardest place to go for a lot of people. It brought a lot of trauma to the surface.

57:16 Of course, all the stuff that was dormant.

57:17 Anything that was dormant or shoved down, it brought it right to the top. Now you're hearing trauma, trauma, trauma, trauma, PTSD. These types of terms are being thrown around even more than ever.

57:30 If Spirit could talk directly to the audience listening right now and who will be listening in the future, what message would Spirit like to give?

57:38 One of the biggest blocks with people and their ability to connect with others on the other side is emotion. Not the physical things that happen, the disagreements, the upsets, the discords. At the point of death, none of that exists. It's the emotions of the living, the grief, the anger, the fear that prevent people from connecting. But feel yourself to return to your heart. Become reconnected to your source and grow your own consciousness. Ask for clear discernment and take the necessary actions when it feels necessary. to be the correct time to do so. Exude love, joy, peace.

58:19 Be patient and gentle and kind with one another.

58:23 Beautifully said. Beautifully said. Terry, where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing in the world?

58:32 I am at TerryYoder.com. That's T-E-R-R-Y-Y-O-D-E-R.com. You can get my phone number from there. You can schedule appointments there. I'm doing appointments. I also have spiritual classes coming up in January. So I do teach tarot and I teach people in a way that That they connect with their own intuition and read the cards their own way. There's not one way to do it. If there's 11 billion people on the planet, whatever, there's 11 billion pathways. So I try to tune in and allow people to grow and develop.

59:10 in their own way. So terryyoder.com.

59:13 When you say Tarot, you say Tarot, but is it Tarot or Tarot card?

59:18 I say Tarot because I'm a French major.

59:20 Got it.

59:20 Okay.

59:21 So I'll go along with it. Tarot cards. To my understanding... Tarot cards are, you know, you shuffle them, you put them out, and then whatever you flip, you kind of like, that's what spirit is trying to talk to whoever's reading them. So you get the death card, you know, the cups card or whatever, you know, the golden cups or anything like that. Is that kind of the way it works?

59:48 And then if you're a psychic, you can actually read into it a little bit more? How does that work?

59:54 When someone comes in, Well, I don't come in anymore, but when I do a reading, I mix the cards to clear all the messages off. And then I ask the person to focus on what they want to know, and then I mix in proxy for them, and I ask them to tell me when to stop. That's how I get their interaction. When they tell me to stop, I lay the cards out on the table. Each position represents a certain facture of life. So, present, present surroundings.

1:00:23 Goal and destiny, hopes, wishes, dreams, fears, distant past, recent past, near future, near future progressed, near future surroundings progressed, emotions and final outcome. Depending on what card falls in what position and closest to one another, it tells a story.

1:00:43 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.

1:00:53 So a lot of times the cards become a storyboard for me. And then as I'm looking at the cards, I'll be drawn to something like, I'll be drawn to the bull on the face of the card. May, sign of Taurus, May. I'll be drawn to the Easterlies. Okay, March, April time period. Just things come to life and story comes up and I let it loose.

1:01:21 I tell it.

1:01:23 So if somebody was going to do their own, can they read themselves?

1:01:28 Some people are very good at reading themselves. I am not good at reading myself. I'm too invested in my stuff. But yeah, there are people who do read for themselves. It's a good way to start. And tarot is a good way to start to develop and to develop your intuition and your connection with yourself.

1:01:51 Before we close, Terry, would you be open to offering kind of a brief blessing or message for everyone watching now and moving forward?

1:02:02 It's my hope that everyone finds their way, that everyone sees their direction, that everyone finds their love, their joy, their hope, their peace, and that they share it.

1:02:18 Terry, it's been such a pleasure having you on the show. Thank you so much for this conversation. You are a beautiful energy, my friend.
