1:33 How you doing, Carol great, so good to be here.

1:37 Thank you so much for being on the show. You have been a medium for a few years now.

1:47 When did you start?

1:49 About thirty years you've been doing this work. You've done over ten fifteen thousand readings at this point in your career.

1:57 Correct, yes, sir, that is correct. I actually lost count. I tried to do an estimate, and it's somewhere in the neighborhood of sixteen thousand contacts with the spirit world.

2:09 When did this start happening to you? When did you first have an experience that your first spiritual experience?

2:16 Well, you know, I might be a little bit different than some other mediums in the field. Not until my mid to late thirties, and that came about as a result of a devastating fire. In the books that I've written, I've written five books at this point, I talk about that and what put me onto the pathway. I was running a business and the business burned overnight. We had an electrical fire, and I was not able to rebuild.

2:50 So for about nine months to a year, I was left essentially directionless, had no clue what I was going to do with my life. In fact, I remember saying, God, can you just come down here and assign me a job, because I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing here. And so it was through something very devastating in addition to an earlier and I've written openly about this too, and that's addiction alcoholism. And I got sober in my twenties and have not drank alcohol in like forty three years.

3:33 But that's what put me onto the pathway. I almost feel it was an event to pull me off of the pathway of running this other sort of non spiritual type of business and put me squarely onto the pathway of my soul's purpose.

3:51 So we're talking about a spiritual like this is kind of your first journey onto the spiritual path. But as far as the mediumship and the abilities and that, when did that happen?

4:03 Yeah, my mid to late thirties, I got a phone call from her friend, who unfortunately was killed on her way in a car accident to my house. It was very devastating at the time. Prior to that, she had called me and said, you have to go to this metaphysical center. It was near a small town near where I live. And my reply was, how's that going to help me get a job? I'm not, you know, I don't have time to fool around here. I have to find something else, you know, to earn money. And so there was a second phone call from her and same thing.

4:47 So reluctantly one Sunday, I got dressed up and I went to this center, and as soon as I walked in, I immediately felt at home, particularly with and what I began with with mediumship was touch mediumship healing, delivering spiritual healing. After a lot of training and reiki, after a mastership to all sorts of people, we would have a healing sanctuary a couple of times a month where the public would come in. So from there, speaking mediumship or evidentiary mediumship developed for me. And I went to a place called Delphi. It's near Atlanta, Georgia, and I got training there and became certified in mediumship and then took a lot of training at Lilydale, New York, where I've also taught many many times. It's a spiritualist community. I'm sure

5:50 a lot of your listeners have probably heard of lily Dale.

5:54 So when was the moment you first saw did you see or do you hear spirit? Or how do you feel that? What are the Claires that you are most attached to.

6:05 Clere sentience, which mean Claire is from the French and it means clear sentient is feeling or sensing. So the way that I explain it is it's really Claire sentience is an impression. And you know, I always use the analogy if I had a painting and I have it covered with a cloth, and I say to you, Alex, give me your impression of this painting. When I take the cloth off, How does it make you feel? What do you sense from it? Does it pull you in?

6:39 What are the colors like? How do they speak to you? So it's really the other two claires, Claire audience and clairvoyance arise organically from Claire sentience. So that is really a fundamental sense for most people who eventually become mediums, and everything else sort of stems from that, but yes, I do often see spirit that took a while to develop.

7:14 And when I hear, which is really telepathy, it's in my own voice, and it's words, names, you know, locations. So there's many many different things that I will hear in my mind when I'm engaged in a reading.

7:34 Now, from my understanding, you can be a psychic and not a medium, but you can't be a medium without being a psychic. Is that a fair analogy.

7:42 Yeah, that's spot on because the only difference, and this is very simple, you know, for people to understand. If I'm doing a psychic reading, I'm reading the person in front of me, who's in a physical body. At this point, I read nationally and actually internationally, so it's mostly on the phone or through zoom, so and I actually prefer not seeing somebody. It's very pure, it's very pure. So I'm reading that person's energy field in front of me.

8:17 Mediumship is reading the energy field or the consciousness of a soul in the spiral world who does not have a body. So that's the main difference. It's really the same phenomena, but it's just a matter of the recipient of the reading one being here in the physical realm and one not.

8:37 So when you're tapping in. So let's say you were having a reading with me and you're not listening to Uncle Bob in the corner who's telling you what to tell me, you're actually tapping into my higher self if.

8:50 You will, yeah. Or the auric field on the area is simply being an energy field that emanates from your physical body. It's also called the etheric body. The etheric is really a template for the physical and when we're developing in the womb before birth, the etheric body forms two form. It's the energy, it's an energy body, and it's sort of the template that the fiscal body is going to be in the infant.

9:22 So when you're getting the information, you're getting it from higher self or body of myself of the information that needs to come through, and that field of consciousness by or feel or higher self, whatever you want to call it, knows where I'm going as far as like with the potentialities of my future, because that's generally what people think about when you have a psychic reading, like what's coming?

9:46 When am I going to meet mister Wonderful? When am I gonna, you know, get that job? When am I what are the lottery tickets numbers? Got?

9:53 I call them the big two? You know, when am I going to buy love, to get laid one honey going to get paid? That sounds awful, but I mean when I first started years ago, and I was doing readings in a metaphysical bookstore in Pittsburgh, a lot of people came those are the big two questions? And then this other aspect started to open up, Actually two different aspects that I never asked for. One of them was reading the Acasi files, and that just happened spontaneously. I would see scenes over the individual's left shoulder, and I've written about that phenomena in my books. How did that open for me? And never asked for it? But when I would relay it to the recipient, there would be this recognition, Oh, I've always been drawn to Italy or

10:51 I've always you know, felt this particular pattern, this particular problem or child in my life. And so you can actually look at that and see the roots from the storehouse that each soul has called the Akashik files, also called the Akashik records, you can see where that originated. And so when we know that, then we can begin to really heal it.

11:22 I have to ask you because you've been doing this not thirty years, and in the last thirty years a few things have changed in the world, just a couple of things, and I wanted to see what is your take on humanity's consciousness as it relates to your readings, because I imagine if in the nineties when you were starting this, it was much more in the physical world, like it's like when am I going to get laid?

11:51 When am I going to get paid? Whenever they going to do this, all that kind of stuff. But has there been a shift into more deeper questions, deeper understandings of consciousness and not just going after the physical physical readings, meaning like things about in the physical, in the materialistic world, but more in the esoteric or more into understanding who they are better. Have you seen that in your work?

12:14 I would say yes, people today. And I wrote all about this in my latest book, The Art of Sensing, And it's about going within to jumpstart inner transformation because the outer world is but a reflection of what's going on within the individual. So you know that Michael Jackson's song The Man in the Mirror, Yeah, that's what I That's what we have to do is to look within if we want to see a change in the world.

12:54 And absolutely we're in this pivotal point. We're in a highly transformational time. You know. I am also extremely knowledgeable and skilled with astrology, so I've done a lot of studying with that too. And when Pluto, the planet Pluto of transformation, entered the sign of Aquarius, Aquarius being the masses, you know, the greater good, we were hit with all of this transformative energy and a lot of people became very overwhelmed. A lot of people gave into fear. A lot of people and I'm actually at this point right now too of not knowing what is sometimes, particularly on social media, not knowing what is true and what is what is not. So my message, the overwriting theme in the art of sensing, is following the journey of your

13:57 own soul, going within so that you can find the place of peace. There's so many people today who are not at peace, you know, anxiety, depression or epidemic, particularly in younger people, and so you're never going to find that in the outside world. It doesn't exist there. It has to be from within the individual. And once you do that, the journey unfolds. So absolutely there is. There was not that level of you know, discontent or chaos going on when I first started as there is today.

14:43 I have to ask with your you know done fifteen sixteen thousand readings, at a certain point from your perspective, I mean, people come to you because they're searching for something. They want answers. So it's either like, hey, is my I'm okay? Or hey, am I ever going to find love? Or hey am I going to ever get that job or make it big in the bit and show business or whatever it might be. We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor and now back to the show.

15:20 Do you at a certain point just go like these these kind of questions, don't like this is not helping you in other words, in other words, it becomes almost entertainment and it doesn't really help the soul in the journey. So like I was guilty of this when I was a young man. I would go to psychics all the time when I was young, asking all the materialistic questions about career and love and things, all based in this reality.

15:45 But I mean it was really based on fear. I was terrified about what was going to come I was terrified of something bad happening. I was terrified of all that in your work, how do you approach that kind of client and those kind of souls that come to you.

16:00 Well, my work is and always has been about healing, and to me, the core of doing this sort of service is number one about human relationships. Obviously with mediumship that that person or pet. So have been many many readings in which animals come through as well. That love is inexhaustible and it's eternal. But there's more to it than that. The core is about the expansiveness and eternity of the recipients of readings their own soul. And so I think that that's an often overlooked aspect of mediumship, that it's not just about oh, look you know, look at the evidence have provided, Look how great I am or whatever. Ego will absolutely destroy anyone who is practicing mediumship.

17:02 And if you get into ego, I'm extremely cognizant of ego creeping into anything that I do. So it has to be about feeling better after half an hour or an hour. Then when you initially you know, came into the session, and I have witnessed that time and time again. It has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with Spirit, which is my word for God or you know, source or whatever you want, it's all the same thing. And to help people understand that the choices that we make in life determine the quality of our life. In fact, in my fourth book, Wisdom from the Spirit World, well, that was one of the lessons that I've gleaned from years and years of talking to people in the spiral world. The power of choice that

18:07 resides within each of us. That is the point, the pivotal point in the current moment, because that's all you and I have, that's all anyone has to begin to change the trajectory of your life and to understand that that's within you, not out there. Nobody can give it to you, nobody can take it away. So essentially, yeah, my work, and I take it very seriously, is about helping people to transform and to realize that you do not have to be a professional medium or professional psychic or anybody extraordinary to tap into your inner senses, to follow your soul's journey, that it was written before you even came here, and to improve the quality of your life.

19:06 There's one thing that I try to always warn people about in regards to psychic mediums, and I think this is a warning that I think you will agree with me on. But I'd love to hear your thoughts. Is that a lot of people look upon the gifts that are given or the abilities that have been opened within because we all have the ability to do what you do.

19:26 It's just it's just being able to open them and get them to a place where you can do it. But a lot of people associate that if you have this ability, that must mean that you're a good person and you have ethical ways of doing what you do. I try to warn people against, like listen that just because you have these abilities doesn't make people good, because I've run into psychics who are not good people who that did things for money or did things for this and had a lot of ego and things like that.

19:56 So I love to hear your thoughts from that point of view to let people know what you feel about it.

20:00 Ethics are extremely vital in this field. I consider myself highly ethical. If I can't help a person, you know, someone calls my office and well I have this going on, I have that, I will flat out tell them, you know, that's not something that's not in my area of expertise. I have actually turned people away, Alex because they're becoming too dependent. That is unethical. You cannot develop. It's not good for the individual. It's not good for the medium because what you are doing is you are creating a you need me scenarioy. Yeah, and that is not healthy.

20:52 And that's why I've written books, That's why I've taught. I've had many years of teaching spirituality and mediumship metaphysics. That's why I tell people, you know, tools that you can use that don't cost anything, like you know, mindfulness, stillness, you know, going on and walking in nature. These are tools they don't cost anything that you are right at your disposal, that you can use. It is not good to become dependent, you know, on anyone, and there needs to be balance in life.

21:32 You know.

21:32 One of the questions I've been asked through numerous interviews is are you always seeing spirits? And the answer to that is no, you should not. Any ethical medium should not constantly be on because we're meant to enjoy and to experience life here in the physical realm, or we wouldn't be here. So, you know, enjoying a walk, uh, you know, enjoying, reallylationships, laughing, going to a movie. You know, we're meant to do all of that. And I have never met even you know, with the well known mediums, they will tell you the same thing. You you know, you should not be on all the time. That is a very good way to become ill or to become drained.

22:25 And I also have heard people, well, you know, the spirits are waking me up in the middle of the night. That shouldn't be happening because you own your energy, you own your body, and so you have control over that.

22:41 You mentioned earlier that we are going currently through a very transformative time. Before we dive into that, when was the last transformative time. That's so people have a reference point in human history. That's something I don't think anything exactly like this, but something said, well, in.

23:01 Twenty twenty we had COVID. You know, no matter what your opinion on that is, certainly you and I saw massive change. Business is closing. People absolutely doing things out of fear. And so you know, the the what looks or looked bad, and that's that's what people have to realize. It opened the door, I believe, and it always does to transformation. So when anything leaves our life, whether that be through death or through the loss of a job, a serious illness, the breakup of a marriage or a relationship, it's very painful and they're suffering involved, and we need to feel that. But there is all always an opportunity presented in that situation. So yeah, I believe. I mean, I could even go back. You know, I was a

24:12 little kid. But during the sixties all of the racial riots, tension, you know, assassinations, you know, so probably And by the way, some of the same planetary positions and aspects or relationships between the planets are in place today that were in place then. And also get this, during the Civil War, some of the same the big outer planets Nottune for example, were in place then that are in place now, meaning in the same signs and so forth. So what you get are these cycles of consciousness. That's all astrology is the planets. You know, you can look through a telescope and see, yes, there are planets there. They're physical things, but they are representative of energies within the human being.

25:17 And you probably heard this alex as above, so below, and so it's referring to consciousness. I would say Yeah, physically the planets are above us in the sky, but it's that trickle down effect, so these come up for us in order to in some way evolve through them. Now, if you look at the sixties, absolutely, you know there was evolution that took place in human consciousness as a result of some very painful events, and we're going through that again here.

26:00 Seems like, Yeah, in the sixties, it seems like it's kind of the birth of, at least in the West, of the metaphysical movement, New Age movement. Yes, all that meditation gurus coming in from India in a big, big way, the Maharishi and those kind of those kind of souls and stuff. So there was definitely, but I can see the mirroring of it because there is also a big spiritual awakening happening today and our consciousness is higher than it's ever been to my understanding, in this cycle at least, and things are changing so rapidly. But it feels like someone's put a put a brick on the gas pedal. Man, it just will not let up. It's just burning that.

26:42 Oh you feel that too, Yeah.

26:45 It's just changes so fast, and it's every day, I know, it's every day, like it's something new, you know, and I you know from my perspective when I was growing up in the eighties and nineties, you know, things changed. But I always use the example of like VHS. VHS showed up, then video store showed up, and it was a slow process, was a good decade, fifteen year, Then DVD showed up, and then things started to speed up even more and more. Then streaming showed up, and then this and now it's like and I'm just using movies as an example from that's where I come from, But it's now every there's new stuff happening all the time, and now AI and all this stuff. It's so hard to even process cognitively what's happening. That's why I feel

27:32 things so many people are so overwhelmed. Would you agree?

27:35 I agree, And you're going to during the next seven years you will see, I think it's mind boggling. Be caught Uranus, the planet of rebellion, the planet of I must be my authentic self, and you're going to get out of that box because that's Uranus's evolution purpose. It just entered in about a month or so ago into Gemini.

28:05 What is Gemini? It's communication it's thinking, it's talking, it's technology. So Uranus, by the way, rules the internet, and Urinus rules electricity. So this is why I'm confident in saying you haven't seen nothing yet, truly. And I understand what you said about being very overwhelmed, because I'm sort of a dinosaur with tech. You know, I get used to something and doing it a certain way, even with you know, with zoom and the next thing. I know, oh well it's changed now, and then you have to adapt to that.

28:51 And so look, the point is, don't become overwhelmed. You know, do what you can, and you know, keep both feet on the ground. I think it's really important that we all do grounding now, you know, making sure that our root center at the base of the spine is its connected to the earth, and that we're not letting this run away with us. An interesting facet of this I saw the other day. It was an ad for another spiritual network, and it was a person advertising AI for mediumship. Now, when I saw that, I said, no way, because AI is not a human soul. It will never be that, and so when mediumship takes place, there's a blending of that soul that of course doesn't have a body with when I'm doing readings with my soul as the me.

30:02 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.

30:12 How is AI going to do that? AI is incapable of being a living, breathing soul with intelligence. Yes, it has intelligence, but that that's what scares me. That and and as an author, you know, someone stealing my work or whatever, duplicating it. So I think that's a real concern for those of us who are in the communication field, no matter what aspect of it it might be. But yes, I mean I I just was flabbergasted I saw that AI.

30:50 You know, AI mediumship.

30:53 I mean, let me know what you think about this, because I don't fear AI at all. I think AI is here to help us in I think it will. It's an inevitable it's going to it's already here, it's already going to do it. It came like a rocket, like one day, we're not talking about it, and all of a sudden, AI is everywhere. So it's pretty interesting.

31:12 I've also had people reach out talking about AI and spirituality and AI doing this, and there's places for it. I don't agree with AI mediumship. I agree with you two hundred percent. I don't think that's a thing, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Just like when you are thinking of Uncle Bob and you're driving in the car right and Uncle Bob is passed and you're thinking about Uncle Bob and all of a sudden, Uncle Bob's favorite song comes on the radio. It's a form of It's a way of spirit communicating with that person.

31:48 And I think we've all felt it in one way, shape or form. Or you think about someone and someone calls and it's that they're here to talk about Uncle Bob or something along those lines. Is there a potential for the same way that spirit would use a song or a TV show or you know something, or even a butterfly showing up when your mother your their past love butterflies.

32:11 Uh?

32:11 And in that moment, is there is there a place where they that spirit would be able to manipulate AI in the same way to give you a message, not in the same way that you presented it like AI mediumship, Like you go to a AI thing and go talk to me Uncle Bob. I don't believe that, But is there a potential for that just curious what you think.

32:32 I don't know there might be because I say that because I've explored just about every aspect of the paranormal at this point, and particularly with spirit communication. You know, there's these those talk boxes, and there's also some paranormal investigators who use a regular Really dating myself with this, but like a little trend. I have these when I was growing up in the sixties, transistor radios and they tune it to a certain frequency, and you know, they record this and then you're getting Uncle Bob, you know, coming through on the on on the radio and uh, you know, voice impressions and so forth. So perhaps it is possible I don't know, but you know, a whole communication that would take the similar to what would take

33:36 place in a mediumship reading. At this point, I highly doubt it. I would personally would not trust it, you know, but I wouldn't roll it out because every single time that I say, gee, I've never heard that before, or something comes up in reading and you know, somebody tells me, hey, this is how my dad made contact with me, uh, you know, and gives me some sort of synchronistic weird event. Uh, something new happens. So you know, just when I think I've heard it all.

34:12 But.

34:14 Yeah, I mean it could be possible. Spirit knows how to manipulate electricity. Does it take practice and focus on their behalf? It absolutely does, because they're no longer in this frequency. They're vibrating in a much higher frequency than the density of the physical plane. So but they do and can manipulate lights, phones. I've had very very I've had a lifetime of peculiar spence if I even told you, Alex.

34:51 But you know, there's many different things that Spirit is capable of doing to get their message across you know, do they really do? They have to take training. Yeah, they have to take training to even know how to reach my mind as a medium, because there's a lowering of the frequency that has to happen to blend to.

35:19 My understanding from from my point of view is that that frequency. We have to raise our frequency. So you as a medium and a medium have to raise your frequency to a certain point. You're not going to go all the way to where they are, but they have to get to a certain point and then they have to come down to meet you halfway or you know, something at something relevant something like that to be able to do this communication because if not, it just doesn't work because they can't come all the way back down to where you are. But that's my understanding. But then when someone when you see spirit in a room, have they've just their frequency down so much that they can manifest in front of you for your eyes only. And

36:06 then what happens with ghosts? These these you know, these ghost that you see sometimes.

36:10 Well full body manifestations where I'm actually seeing like you.

36:16 Uncle Bob, Uncle Bob, right.

36:18 Yeah, yeah, that is exceedingly rare, exceedingly rare. I am very honest and transparent when I with media, with everything, and I'll tell you what's bs and what isn't. That's very rare. Mainly, what people were describing is a phenomenon of clairvoyance when they're seeing. Now. I have had experiences, particularly when I was doing I mentioned earlier in the interview, I was doing a lot of healing work, hands on healing in a healing sanctuary. It was exceedingly imbued with very high energy because of the spiritual healing that went on.

36:59 In One time, I was lying on one of the healing beds and I was in there by myself and my eyes were open, and I see ectoplasm. For those who don't know ectoplasm is it's like it looks like cigarette smoke. I mean, it's you know, it's filming, is you know, gaseous material. And it was so real. And that's not the only time I've seen actoplasm, So that sort of manifestation is certainly something that yeah, I mean people can see. Can it take a form? I believe it can. Yes. The times that I have seen ectoplasm, it has not taken form. It has just been very diffuse and it's you know, white smoking material. The other time I saw, there's been multiple times. I lived in an old house and I was in the bathroom brushing

38:07 my teeth one evening. It was about eight o'clock in the evening. All of a sudden, out of the wall, out of the wall in front of me, comes a huge cloud of ectoplasm, and I took several steps backwards from the sink. What the heck? Then it diffuses and goes back into dissolves back into the wall. Now I was not terrified. This same entity had done this numerous times.

38:49 I had dogs in those days, and it would manifest over top of my dogs. My dogs had beds on the floor, and it would hover around the dogs, over top of them. So I mean that sort of thing where you're visually with your physical eyes seeing spirit. It's mainly in my experience through seeing like ectoplasm. Now, can it take a form, Yes, it depends on the strength of that intelligence that is contained within that ectoplasm.

39:24 In your work, Carol, have you ever encountered ascended masters, angels, those kind of beings with beautiful and massive lights, very strong energies that come through in a reading of some sort.

39:40 Yes, not certainly, not every reading, but enough that I could speak to it. Particularly with the angels, I will sense them or actually see them through clairvoyants, mainly with color. The angels have never been here in a physical form. They can take physical form. We've all heard these stories where you know, I was pinned under a car and this man came up and lifted the car and then I turned around and he was gone. Or you know, I was in the hospital and a stranger came to my bedside and I asked about them, and then nobody else saw that person. So those angelic encounters can They can't take physical form, but they are basically they are extensions of the Creator and each one and they're a different phylum or classifications of angels, and they work with

40:43 humanity with certain issues. For example, the big arching are our angels. Archangel Raphael, and we see him as emerald green. You know, that's the color of the heart shock or a heart center. He works with physical, emotional, mental healing. Archangel Michael. I will sometimes see him with the large sword because he deals with extractions and he deals with eternal truth as put forth in natural Law. Archangel Gabrielle spiritual awakening. So I will sometimes see these specific angels around an individual and then I'll say, you know they're working.

41:32 This particular angel is working with you on this life issue. And the other one I see interestingly is and I have a statue behind me of her as Mother Mary. I will see her and I'll tell you, Alex, when this really happens is when someone has lost a child, you know, during with someone said a child who's died.

41:57 During the reading, and sometimes not every reading, but in some readings, I will see Mother Mary there. I call her the Divine Mother because I wouldn't even limit her to just Christianity. She is the feminine face of God. She is the nurturer and the heart is very, very prominent with her. So I see her working with the client, dealing with helping them to heal their heart from that traumatic loss of a child. But yes, they do appear. Yeah, the assentiment. I love Saint Germain. You know I've got my I have my Violet on today. Saint Germaine is one of the ascended Masters. Deals with the energies of prophecy and healing. That's what he deals with. And the masters don't do each other's work. They do very specific

43:00 work of their own.

43:03 They've had a lot of experience with the Ascended Masters channeled on the show Energies in the Room when I was when I do interviews here in the studio, they are very different. They don't know lap. The energies are different, and they do not overlap in their emissions. Christ has a very different energy than Mary Magdalene, than Kwan Yin, than Saint Germain, than Buddha, than Yogananda. There are so many other different Ascended Masters. They all have very specific signatures and styles of how they approach things. It's just curious that they came into your work. So you were mentioning about you know where we are right now, and you mentioned the next seven years. Can you give us some details because there's a lot of fear around right

43:49 now because the world seems to be, you know, unraveling in many ways. I think that it's a hyper alertness because of all the media, social media, news, everything that we are just bombarded with this information. So it feels even worse than it probably is because I've always tell people, I'm like, it was work. We've had worse times. We could be in ancient Rome right now. You know there was there was, there was tough times before. So what do you see for you know in the next you know, handful of years in regards to I could just go down the line. But let's say the economy, because people are you know, it seems like that's the inflation is out of control here in the States, the dollars losing its power. Gold is at forty five hundred dollars you

44:39 know an ounce. You know, it was like one hundred and ten when I was a kid, So you know that's a signal that's saying something about the economy. What is your feeling, what do you see?

44:48 I believe it will level off. This is a time of great fluctuation and polarity. Now the fiscal plane onto itself is polarity orient meaning we've got extremes. You know, that doesn't exist in the higher realms of spirit, but it does exist here. I believe the key to this is modulation, don't you know, don't panic. That's the worst thing that we can do. This is the time. It's sort of you know, the action of the plutonium energy is to is to die. It represents physical death, but it also represents metaphoric death in the old what is no longer serving their survival of the consciousness must be eliminated, It must be expunged.

45:46 So we'll be right back after a word from our sponsor, and now back to the show.

45:58 What's going to happen then? Well, you know that whole has to be filled, and so it's going to take that vision within ourselves as the guardians of this wonderful planet, to have a vision for how do we want to fill this? How do we want to you know, go on from here? And so people must absolutely necessarily go within to first be anchored in a spiritual connection. You know what I found time and time again in my own work and mediumship is people who have a spiritual anchor.

46:42 I don't care if it's organized religion or it's metaphysics or like twelve step higher power. People who have that anchor within have an easier time navigating through suffering. And it's the same here. We can say that a collective level that you know, finding the ancher within, whatever that is for you, but that which is based in harmony and unconditional love. And this is not flowery manby pandy stuff, but I mean genuine, you know, caring, the principle of care about our future and what happens. And I believe that those of us who are working in this field, you included, I mean, you're doing a lot of information and getting this out to people. Are our way showers.

47:38 Were not superior in any way, but we're way showers of just pointing in the direction towards this is probably the way that we want to go. So I believe we're going to level off with things. You're not going to see these, you know, this extremism that we have been in. This may even shift with the next in twenty twenty eight, the next in our country, the next election, and we're going to make it. I mean, the bottom line is, you know, we're going to make it no matter what. And you know, the hard truth is this, And I think a lot of people need need to awaken the universe or I'm saying that, like universal intelligence or the God energy really doesn't care if human beings become extinct. It's going to continue to expand, it's going

48:40 to continue to evolve. Nobody is really coming to save us. Yes, there are ascended masters, there is the Christ consciousness, all of that, you know, no matter what you call it, to help us. But because of the reality of free will, it's up to us to choose. So I'm not trying to hedge on your question, but it really is dependent upon the choices that we make individually first and secondly collectively or the direction that we're going to go. But I guess I would say that this will eventually level out.

49:30 So my understanding with all psychic readings in general is that when you see the future, you're seeing the potentiality of the future. You're not seeing anything hard because there's free choice. So if you say, hey, you're going to get that job in New York, well maybe a job from LA calls all of a sudden. Now you're in la as opposed to New York, but there was a potential there. And from my understanding, what you see is that it is more than likely this could happen. But it doesn't. It's not rock solid. It could easily shift.

50:01 But this is the direction, the trajectory that we're going towards in a person's life. Does Does that make sense to you?

50:08 Yes? It does. And you know I've studied everything from Edgar Casey to Nostradamus. Right when nostra Thomas was gazing into that pail of water, what he was seeing was if humanity stays on the trajectory that is currently on, or if this, you know, consciousness would take over, here's what is likely I mean he saw. I mean, here's a guy that was in the sixteen hundreds, maybe the fifteen hundreds, you know, way ahead of time, you know, naming Hitler, he got he called him history, he got one letter wrong. He saw the whole horrible, horrible thing called World War two, and you know with the Nazis and so forth. So could that have been prevented? Yeah, I believe what Master Thomas was seeing was, yeah, this

51:08 could manifest if humanity takes this particular turn. And so anybody who's doing my type of work, to be honest and to be genuine and to be ethical has to say you, here's what like, for example, with the seventy eight deck of the tarot, which I've been using for years and years and years. I'm self taught in the taro, here's what could be a potential. Here, here's what could be a possibility. I really like working with the major account in the taro because there are archetypes of human consciousness.

51:46 This archetype is coming up for you right now, maybe the strength card for example, you know, or or you know the full you know, our count of zero, so there's there's potentiality there. And by the way, the fool does represent pure potentiality. That's why he's our counter number zero because within zero is everything and it's also nothing.

52:11 So here we have this, you know, dichotomy again. But I trust my life to spirit that we are going to We're not going to sink, We're going to swim. And you know, I'm really not that much of an optimist in life, but I'm a realist and I'm very pragmatic, but I believe that enough of us and I mean, look at the success just in your world of your podcasts.

52:50 People are hungry for this. This gives hope. You are a purveyor of hope for people. That's how important you are. And nobody can take your place in the unfolding your mind plan. Nobody can take my place or anyone's place. So you know, personal responsibility is always in effect, and it really depends on how we use that, and that is going to be how we advance. So I believe that things are coming up now to really be viewed.

53:26 It's extremely transparent for us to make a decision, and so there's no more you know, trickery. Things are coming out into the open, and then experiment has to be used.

53:44 So why is because this is a question I get asked all the time, why is this happening to us right now in this history, in the history of humanity where all of these all the stuff that seems to have been underground has started to bubble up. And I see it, and I mean we start seeing hints of it. I always raised Catholic, but used to you know, you start seeing hints of it in the Vatican and what you know, the whole scandal of the church and what happened there, and then you start seeing it in the food supply, and now the truth of like what is that cookie really made out of? Holy cow? A flamethrower is not it's not taking it down, or a burger that sits around for ten years, and it doesn't change that those truths did not exist when I was growing

54:28 up or when you were growing up, you know, and food was different back then. Using that as an example, but pharmaceuticals, Hollywood, the medical field, education, all of those, every aspect of our lives, banking, all of it, it's all starting to bubble up to show us the truth. Is that why this has happened because we need to kind of have this kind of expelling of it to for et.

54:51 All Again, that's the Plutonian energy. I mean, that's astrology. But if we just look at you have a patient on the operating table. That patient has a lot of cancer. The surgeon's going to operate to extract that cancer, to excize it. That's where we're at. We're the patient, We collectively are the patient on the operating table, and the poison, the cancer that's going to kill the patient has to be It's already been X rayed, it's been exposed. Oh it's over here. Oh it's in you know, the stomach, or it's in the intestines or whatever. And so that, you know, these different areas of life so to speak, needs to be examined and essentially healed. So, yes, as you were saying, all these different areas, certainly the pharmaceutical

55:58 and food, you know that that is just my below. When I grew up, there was no such thing as organic.

56:08 You just because everything you went to the.

56:10 Grocery store, Oh, here's some carrots, you put them in your core. You know, here's a head of lettuce or whatever. Now you know, I only buy organic. I'm vegan, so I don't need any animal products, but you know, I only buy organics. But when I was growing up, that was unheard of, and there was no gmo, you know, synthetically produced seeds. Yeah, I mean everything. It's almost like we need a magnifying glass now to really see what's going on here, you know, putting things under the magnifying glass, under the microscope to really examine it.

56:53 And that also goes into hate and injustice and all of these other things and polarities and all that because you know, growing up in the eighties and in my generation looking at the eighties and the nineties, I mean living in the Cold War that at any moment the bomb could go off kind of environment. The political parties here in the United States were, I mean they were still right left and they they were they stood for their ground, but there was communication, there was compromise, there was cooperation. Now you can't even look at someone from the other side of the aisle because then you're just like, oh, you're a trader. Like it's so extreme, it's been pulled so far to the left and right. And it's not

57:43 just here in the States. It's in England, it's in the Europe, it's in many countries around the world. And it seems to be happening more and more. From your point of view, why do we need to have this kind of polarity that is obviously not functioning for anybody on the world world, that we need to go to these extremes. Why do you think that's happening right now?

58:04 Well, interestingly, you know, I have studied many years of natural law, and I also developed a workshop that I taught at Lilydale on natural law. One of the natural laws is the law of polarity, and so why would that be a natural law? Meaning natural law just means immutable, universal laws that are always going to supersede man made law, you know. So the law of polarity is we have extremes.

58:42 There must be an integration of the extremes for harmony to occur, you see. So we can't be completely over here and we can't be completely over here. We need to meet in the middle. And so it's a teaching mechanism, just like karma, the law of karma that's a natural law, is a teaching mechanism for human that that determines the course of human behavior, the consequences of human behavior. That's what the law of polarity is. So the key to that is not being completely overhere, not being completely overhere, but meaning we haven't we haven't mastered that yet. We have not come to the middle. And I think all of the great teachers talk about you know, harmony being important.

59:51 You know, you're meant to do this, You're meant to do that. You can do this, just don't get stuck in it, you know, don't get stuck. It's like with grief. Grief is not bad, it's necessary you're grieving the physical loss of a person or an animal. Pardon me from your life.

1:00:12 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor and now back to the show.

1:00:21 But some people get stuck in it, and we're not meant to do that. Emotions are not bad. That's why I've gone away totally from New Age a lot of New Age philosophy because I felt that it was false teaching example.

1:00:37 Can you give me some examples.

1:00:39 Yeah, anger is bad. You know, I'm going to explore the twenty ninth dimension, but I haven't mastered the third. You know, people who I'm sorry, but you know, I'm very truthful and saying and I've said this on a lot of media, people who say that they're channeling that five thousand year old entity. And you know, I am extremely discerning about who I you know, listen to that does anything with mediumship. You can't just accept at all.

1:01:23 And emotions are not bad. Emotions need to be felt, they need to be recognized. I believe emotions, and particularly the ego, has been demonized through New Age philosophy. The ego is not bad. It's a necessary entity. Echer totally cause it the you know, the pain body or the voice in the head. It's also a teaching tool and it's necessary to navigate here on the physical plane. We have to have an ego. It's not bad, but don't get lost in it. Know that you're not your ego, You're not your body. You know. We hear all these cliches, but are we practicing that. I'll tell you this real quickly.

1:02:12 I used to go and work out. I still work out, but it's in my basement. But I used to go to a gym and the one and I would use the Nautilus equipment, and you know, they had all kinds of weight machines for different muscle groups. And one wall of this room that I was in was all mirrors. Yeah, and I used to watch these muscle guys come in there and they'd be like this and like this, you know, and I would just chuckle to myself and go, they they're having a good time. They think they're their body.

1:02:47 I didn't never said anything to them. But until we really, you know, go through the awakening process, we think that we are our personality. We think there were our body, and we think are our minds. You know, we think we're all these things that were not, so why do we come here? Why do we come here? Being earth?

1:03:11 We come here to find out who we are? Not so it's a paradox, right, it's a paradox. I am not that, I'm not that, I am not my body. But the body is not bad. See that's where I really depart. A lot of people in the New Age and a lot of false teachings have really demonized these things, and they're not bad.
