Dr. Lotte Valentin: Just a split second
I'm outside my body.
But this second experience is so different from the first.
And now I'm just tumbling through darkness.
So it's more like a Star Wars movie.
Like I'm traveling through space as a soul.
And I get to this place that I call the midstation
only because I knew that there were levels.
Rod Bland: My guest today is Dr.
Lottie Valentin, a physician, a medical medium, an ancestral
healer, and an author of Med School After Menopause.
And she survived two near death experiences that
gave her psychic abilities.
And she's here to talk to us about that today.
Welcome Dr.
Lottie.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: Well, thank you so
much for having me.
My pleasure.
Rod Bland: So could you firstly, just give us a
little bit of background about what it was like for
you growing up and then why don't we jump into your NDE's?
Dr. Lotte Valentin: Yeah, So I was actually born
and raised in Sweden, which is in Scandinavia
or Northern Europe, just underneath the Arctic pole.
The reindeer lives in my country, Santa Claus, right?
So growing up in, in Sweden was, uh, obviously different
cause it's in Europe.
Um, my father was a physician.
I had three older brothers and, my mom went back to
work when I was 12 and worked as, um, like a
hospital floor administrator.
So I was always surrounded by medicine growing up.
All my parents, friends were.
We're all back then in the, cause I'm born in the 1950s.
So I grew up in the 1960s and back then it was unusual
for women to be doctors.
The women tended to be nurses.
All my parents friends, the man was the physician and
their wives were nurses.
So it's such a classic setup, almost sounds like a movie.
So I was always surrounded by medicine.
It was always medicine was the number one
conversation in my house.
So growing up around that, um, I always knew
I wanted to be a doctor.
And I would tell my dad, when I grow up, I'm
going to be a doctor.
And he would look at me and say, no, don't be
a doctor, be a nurse.
And it was just a time period that I grew up in the 1960s.
So anyway, then I grew up, went to high school,
um, The advisors in school said, Oh, you're really good
in the science subjects.
You should do the science major.
Cause we actually major in high school.
So when you get out of high school, you go
straight to medical school, straight to law school.
There is no four year of college required
before you go.
We do a lot of those prereqs in high school.
And so.
When you go to high school in Sweden, you can
come out of that being like a daycare provider
or, um, an automobile, like, like a mechanic.
So we, we get a lot of, um, we get a lot of training
in high school compared to here in the United States.
Everybody sort of requires you go, you, you know, go
straight to college and then you get to decide what to do.
So you're much younger when you go into, you
know, starting med school over there.
Anyway, I didn't, I didn't go the science line because.
I looked at the other kids in my class and there were
maybe two or three girls that are, you know, young
ladies that were going to go the science line.
And I said, I am not going to have any friends if I
do that in high school.
You know, being a teenager, boyfriends were much more
important and having friends were much more important.
So I majored in languages and business.
And then I, then I met an American.
Who was an exchange student in my high school.
And I ended up marrying that man by three years later.
So I moved to the United States when I was 21 and I
had started at Stockholm's university and I was studying
economics, which I thought was terribly boring because
this wasn't who I was, right?
So I studied economics and then I went to, um.
To the United States and I worked my first year here
in the United States and I worked as the secretary at
the Biomedical engineering department at Boston
University and I was typing research papers all day long
for these professors that were doing research I had
no idea what I was typing.
It was just words, right?
So I'm just typing along and I remember asking the professor
what kind of pig is a guinea pig that has long hair because
I thought it was a real pig.
I had never heard the word guinea pig.
It's not a word you learn in an English class, right?
So, um, I mean, they had so many laughs because
I never knew what it was I was actually typing.
And, then I, They convinced me I should
go to Boston University.
They said, the professors there said, Oh, you're,
you have such a good knack for computers.
You should be an engineer.
And I said, no, I don't want to be an engineer.
And then again, I said, you know, maybe I should follow my
dad's advice and be a nurse.
But the language barrier was so great.
I didn't think I could handle those science classes.
So again, I majored in business.
I majored in business and computer science.
And then I graduate and I work for IBM as a programmer
and systems analyst.
So, And I was a complete atheist.
I didn't believe in anything.
I didn't believe in angels, the spirit
world, life after death.
That was just not even part of my vocabulary.
I didn't, a mediumship, I would have laughed if somebody
said, let's communicate with the spirit world.
And you know, I'm going to connect, you know,
with my, with my loved ones in the spirit world.
I would have laughed at them and said, you're crazy.
Like that is impossible.
That can't be.
So I was, Very scientific, very logical.
And so here I am working as a programmer and then, um,
I took a leave of absence because we got, my husband's
job took us to California and we had our first child.
And so then I was at home and then I had a second child
and then I had a third child.
That's when life really changed.
And that's when I started to have the
near death experience.
So I can tell you that story.
If you want me to continue, I don't know
if you had any questions about anything so far.
Rod Bland: no, that's that's good.
Yeah, but go ahead.
Let's hear about the the first NDE.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: So, so then I had had two
children, two boys already,
so they were six and three and a half at this point.
And I was pregnant again and I was, I gave birth to
a baby girl, which was not a normal birth in itself.
So we lived in California at the time in Huntington
Beach and I gave birth in the Eastern part of, if people
know where Disneyland is, it's in Anaheim, California.
In the eastern part of that city, Anaheim, that kind
of borders the desert and that's where the hospital
was when I gave birth.
So I'm contracting about three minutes apart.
So the baby's right, you know, my, my second baby had
been born in like two hours.
So as soon as I had a contraction, we headed
to the hospital and I was already, you know, close
to delivering that baby.
And a 7.
4 earthquake hits.
Rod Bland: Whoa,
Dr. Lotte Valentin: I'm lying on this table.
Luckily, the people, not many people have heard of
this earthquake because it was centered in the
desert, but this hospital was literally the last
building before the desert.
And it was a new hospital.
So it was built on rollers.
And so that building, I mean, it's just rolls right
back and forth because to take the, the The, the
impact of the earthquake.
So I'm lying on this birthing table in the birthing unit
and the midwife, the nurse, my husband, everybody's
just leaning over me.
I would have flown off the table because that's how
much that building shook.
And just, you know, we're just petrified that this is
the moment I'm going to die.
That's what I thought because there were these windows
all the way from the floor to the ceiling and then
all those ceiling tiles that, you know, are common.
And I, I said, this is it.
Like these windows are going to cave in or the ceiling
tiles are going to cave in and we're just going to
be buried in this rubble as everything collapses.
So the building just rolled and rolled.
We lose all the electricity and it's, and it stops and
we're all just, oh my God.
We're still here and it's just dead silence.
We hear the generators kick in and we have the light of
like a nightlight that you have in the bathroom at night.
That was the lighting now because this was at, you
know, early, early in the morning, maybe five o'clock
in the morning or something.
And so it was dark still outside.
And, and then, uh, my contractions actually stopped
because When you are, you know, if you're in the jungle
and that lion is coming to eat you and you're giving,
you're about ready to give birth, you're going to stop
giving birth, get yourself to safety and then give birth.
Cause it's just, you know, instincts where all animals
will do that and things will just stop and you
get yourself to safety.
So my labor actually stopped.
And then about half an hour later, it started back up
as I started, you know, saying, okay, we're okay.
Gave birth to my daughter and we had a
second earthquake hit.
And that was a 7.
2.
And now we're like, okay, well, this is really
bad, but it's not as bad as the first one.
So we know it's okay.
You know, they can, it can get worse or it can
get a little better.
Right.
And then they finally gave me, you know, the baby to hold.
And as soon as they gave me the baby, I'm just like
leaning backwards, yelling for my husband, take
the baby, take the baby.
And I was in this excruciating pain.
And then, um, there was all these, uh, blood clots
that came out and they started massaging my uterus.
And, you know, today I'm thinking, I mean, there's
not much they could do.
They were operating on generators at this point.
So they put an IV in and that helped contract
the uterus down.
And then I stayed an extra day in the hospital.
So after 48 hours, they said, well, it looks good.
It looks like the bleeding has slowed way down.
It looks like a normal flow, like postpartum and we're
going to send you on your way.
So they sent me home and then I had all these
pain is, I mean, imagine swallowing a bowling
ball and it's just this.
It's very kind of heaviness and it would just hurt so
much like down my legs.
And I would constantly have to sit down.
Anytime I picked up the baby, it was so much pain
and I'm thinking, why is this birth so different?
I mean, I did hemorrhage afterwards, but that
stopped and I couldn't figure that out.
Well, then about 10 days later.
Uh, my friends are having a baby shower
for me in the park.
Cause I had a girl and I had two boys before and
they were all excited.
They weren't getting in me, give me all these girly
clothes and everything.
So I get there.
And I feel like I have to use the restroom.
So I take my kids with me, we go to the restroom and this
enormous blood clot comes out.
I mean, it's like the size of the baby's head.
I mean, it's just huge.
And I'm looking at that in the toilet going,
this is not good.
This is not normal.
So I to take my kids, I run back, tell my friend,
I have to leave right now, something really
is really, really wrong.
So I'll, I drove home, which was only about five
minutes from this park.
My parents were there from Sweden visiting, uh, to help
with the kids and everything.
So I tell them what happened and they call my husband.
He comes home.
We go to the ER.
I get to the ER.
They come in, they do a manual inspection,
and they say, Well, everything seems fine now.
There's not much blood coming out.
Keep me there for two or three hours, and they
say, Well, it looks good.
We're going to send you on your way.
Uh, could have been a second lining that came out.
We're at home next day.
I go to the bathroom.
It's like five or six in the afternoon, same
thing happens again.
And my husband calls the hospital and I'm yelling
at him, lying on the bed.
I am not going.
If the bleeding stopped, they're not
going to do anything.
It's pointless.
So they decided I should see the doctor the next morning
in Huntington Beach, where we lived in California.
Next morning is Friday morning.
I go to the doctor.
It's like 10 o'clock in the morning, same thing.
Manual inspection.
Well, it doesn't look like you're bleeding that much
now, but, uh, you know, no blood work, no ultrasound,
nothing, just a visual inspection saying, doesn't
look like much is happening.
Send me on my way.
I go home.
Same thing happens again, four or five o'clock in
the afternoon, another huge blood clot comes out.
So we said, all right, well, this is the third
day this is happening.
Something is definitely wrong.
So we went back to the ER.
Same thing.
Doctor comes in, says, well, nothing much seems to be
happening now, and leaves me there for observation.
We'll keep you here for two or three hours, we'll
see if anything happens.
So I'm just lying on this table, doors closed, I don't
have a bell to ring, this is 1992, and I start bleeding.
So I'm thinking, finally, I'm finally bleeding, I'm in the
hospital, they're going to figure out something is wrong.
So I'm lying there, not thinking much about it, I'm
like, well, this is, you know, this is the fourth
day I'm bleeding now.
So.
And then a nurse comes in to check on me.
I swear the spirit world sent her because the timing
is, you know, had she been there a minute or two later,
I probably would have died.
I mean, it's that it comes down to seconds.
So she comes in, she opens the door and she has this
you know, terror look on her face, like, Oh, you know, it's
like her jaw is on the floor and she's just, Oh my gosh.
And I can hear the call on the loudspeaker, you
know, OBGYN stat to the ER.
So I'm thinking, wow, this is good.
Finally, they figured out something, you
know, is wrong with me.
So she cleans up everything, puts new paper down.
The, this middle aged doctor comes literally running
full speed with a younger physician in tow, which
is probably the resident.
And I'm thinking.
I finally get a doctor that's middle aged.
He's been around the block.
He's going to know what to do.
And he did because he saved my life.
So again, we do another manual inspection.
So they said, all right, let's take a look,
see what's happening.
Another huge blood clot comes out.
So this is the fifth time I'm hemorrhaging
in three days, right?
I've lost so much blood now.
So I try to sit up and tell this doctor, I
don't feel too good.
So He knew exactly what had happened because, you know,
when he came in, he said, how much have you been bleeding?
And I said, well, I've been bleeding since Wednesday.
This is my third day that this is happening.
So he knew I had lost a lot of blood.
So as soon as I said, I don't feel good, he just
pushed me down on the table.
The whole room filled with staff, nurses, and he started
tipping the table backwards.
My head goes towards the floor.
My feet goes up in the air.
And, you know, I got a nurse on my right that's
got the blood pressure cuff and she's quoting my blood
pressure as it's dropping.
And I got a nurse on my left trying to place the IV that is
going to save my life, right?
And I'm lying at this table.
I feel like I jumped out of an airplane and I'm
just doing a free fall and it's probably my blood
pressure dropping, right?
So I just feel like I'm falling through
space at this point.
And I'm thinking, Oh, what's taking her so long?
Why can't she get that IV in?
But the veins are collapsing because once you go into
shock, your veins collapse.
And when you go to the ER today, now, they often
place an IV with just, you know, water, basically,
you know, body water.
And it's so they have, they have access
to the vein, right?
So they have, now they're already in your vein.
If something goes south when you're in the ER, now they can
just inject, because you have a port now, into your vein.
But back in 92, they obviously didn't do that because they
waited until you're almost dead to place that IV.
So I'm lying on this bed going Wow, what's
taking her so long?
Why can't she get that IV?
And as I'm thinking that, the nurse on my right yells,
50 over 15, hurry.
I mean, at this point, I barely have a pressure to
support the heart, right?
And then it just keeps falling.
And it was shortly after she said that, that I
knew that I was dying.
And that was very different from that earthquake
experience, right?
Or I've been in an airplane that also fell out of the air.
That is very different from the thought of thinking,
Oh my gosh, this is it.
I'm going to die, right?
And a lot of people have been in these scenarios.
You're almost in a car accident and you can somehow
get out of it, right?
You can almost see your life flashing before your eyes.
This was very different because it was a knowing
that I was dying.
I knew that I was dying at that point.
And the atheist that I was, what do I do?
I said, well, if there is a God, this is my chance.
So I said.
God, please save me.
I have three children under the age of six
and they need a mother.
I was thinking my husband, my husband can never do this
Like there's no way he can raise three kids.
So I just pleaded with God to save me.
And it was shortly after that I just got
pulled outta my body.
So then I find myself floating, you know, like
in the middle of the room, kind of above my body.
And the first thing I'm thinking is.
Wow, how can I be outside my body and still be me?
Right?
That's the first thing.
So you are still you and you know that you belong
to that body down there.
That's me down there, right?
I didn't, some people turn around and they see
themselves on the table.
I didn't see myself on the table.
I'm just kind of like out there.
And I, but I know I belong to the body.
It's almost that people talk about the silver
cord and things like that.
It's almost like you're on a string, right?
There is this knowing you belong to the body.
But while I'm outside my body, first of all,
it's this complete peace.
And, you know, you just feel, wow, this is so nice.
There's no pain.
There's nothing.
You're just kind of there.
But also there was a knowing that there was no time in
that state and that I could access any information
past, present, and future.
There was no time.
And it drove me crazy for years trying to figure out why
is there no time over there?
And, and then as quickly as I had gotten sucked
out of my body, I get sucked back in and I don't
even have words for it.
So then the next day, so then of course they keep
me in the hospital and I'm hooked up to all this stuff.
And the next morning the nurse comes in and she says,
Oh, you know, did anything unusual happen yesterday?
Uh, you know, in the ER.
And I said, no, no, nothing at all.
I was petrified.
I figured if I tell her what I had experienced,
they're going to lock me up in the psych ward.
I'm never going to see my children.
So I was just, no, no, because I didn't believe
in any of it, but I still had that experience.
I'm wondering, what is this?
Was that my brain hallucinating?
Or what was that?
So I'm lying in this hospital bed and then I
hear my sister in law who had passed away about 10
days earlier and I hear her, she's in the left corner
of my ceiling and she says, everything's going to be okay.
And I'm just lying there thinking, okay, yesterday
I thought I left my body and I had this whole
experience and now I think I hear my sister in law,
like what is happening?
And it wasn't until my mother in law came to visit.
I didn't even tell my parents.
I didn't tell my husband.
I figured everybody.
They're going to think I'm crazy.
So I couldn't even tell anyone.
And then my parents kept changing their ticket.
They stayed for another three or four weeks.
I just slept because I, because of the shock and
having too little blood.
And then my mother in law came and I call her
my earthly spirit guide.
And she was very spiritual.
And she said, what is going on with you?
And I told her about the experience.
And she said, Oh, what you had was, it's called
a near death experience.
And she went out and she got the book, uh, by Raymond
Moody, Life After Life.
And so then I started understanding that this
was some kind of experience that other people had
had, so at least I didn't feel as kooky now.
And then, you know, over the years she helped me,
you know, understand that there is life after death
and all these other things.
So then I got really sick and it took me Six months to,
um, well, after six months.
So my daughter was born in June.
By that Christmas, we all got pneumonia and I didn't
get a blood transfusion.
So the first thing they wanted to do was give
me a blood transfusion.
And I'm looking at the doctor in the ER and I turned my
head and he says, he just yells, don't move because
he was so afraid I was going to go back into shock.
And I'm, and he said, I'm going to have to give
you a blood transfusion.
And I look at him and I say, Do you have to give
me a blood transfusion?
And he said, why, why don't you want one?
Do you have like a religious belief that prevents you from
taking a blood transfusion?
And I said, no, but everybody that gets a blood transfusion
gets AIDS because it was that big AIDS epidemic.
And we didn't have any way of testing the blood back then.
I said, I have three kids under the age of six.
I was young.
I was, you know, 34 years old.
I was in perfect health.
Otherwise, I don't want to wake up, you know,
six years from now.
When my, with three kids say, having AIDS, so he said, okay,
we'll see what we can do.
You're young and very healthy.
I just studied nutrition.
I had a nutrition degree.
So I was like super healthy.
We didn't even have white sugar in the house.
It was that crazy.
So, So he said, all right, I'm going to give
you some supplements.
We're going to give you some medication, make sure
the bleeding stops and inflammation or, you know,
infection and all that.
And so he said, it's going to take you a little bit
of time, but you know, you're making blood quickly.
They kept me an extra day in the hospital and
said, you know, you're, it seems to be working.
And.
You're not going to feel too good for the
next three months or so.
And I basically just slept.
I mean, that's what I'm told.
I just slept a lot and I was freezing.
I had my hands and feet for ice cold under a wool blanket
in June, July in California.
So, you know, I had like no blood and I couldn't keep
my head on a pillow because my head would be pounding.
Because there was so little blood in my body.
And I was so dizzy, I couldn't walk from the
bed to the living room without passing out.
I would, you know, everything would just sort of blacken
by, you know, taking 20 steps.
Just throw myself on the sofa to get into the next
room so I could at least talk to people now and then.
So, after six months, we all, all the,
everybody got the flu.
And my husband was in a new job and here in the United
States, we have to wait three months for the insurance
and this we want to pay some astronomical amount, which
you can't when you're young and you have three children,
you're in your thirties, you can't afford that, right?
So many times you just wait.
And my husband kept saying, are you sure?
Are you sure?
Like I said, yes, I'm getting better.
I'm sitting up now, like just take this new job.
Well, he ended up taking three new jobs that year
because right when this whole birth happened, his
company got sold and he was like a regional manager.
Everybody got laid off from top to bottom.
And so he just had to take the first best job.
It's not like you have a lot of savings when you're
in your early thirties and have three young children.
So he took the best job he could.
And then three months later when we were just about to
get insurance, he would get another job offer and then
he would take that job.
So that whole year, the entire year, we had no
insurance that first year.
So at Christmas, we all got sick.
We went to a walk in clinic.
Everybody had like pneumonia and the flu, ear infections,
we all got antibiotics.
And then eight days after being on antibiotics,
everybody was well again.
My boys, my husband, I was even sicker.
So I go back to the walk-in clinic and they said, wow,
weren't you just here?
And I said, yeah, um, like eight days ago.
And they said, all right, well, something
is not right with you.
So we're going to check your blood.
So they come in, they do a blood test, they come
back in, I'm just lying in this, I'm there forever.
And they come back in and they say, all right, do
you have leukemia or AIDS?
You have like no immune system at all.
Like it's not, you don't have any white blood cells.
And I said, well, the good news is I don't have AIDS
cause I refused the blood transfusion, but something
happened with the bone marrow.
And so I wasn't making blood.
So people can get this thing.
It's called a idiopathic aplastic anemia.
And it's when the bone marrow gets suppressed and
you're not making, you know, platelets or white blood
cells, red blood cells, everything gets suppressed.
So, They said, all right, well, you have
no immune system.
You have to go to the ER.
And I said, I am not going to the ER.
So they said, well, you can die if you don't go.
And I said, okay, uh, I'll promise I will go if I get
worse, any, any, any smidge of being worse, I will go.
So they sent me home with, you know, steroids
and they injected me with antibiotics and who knows
what, and sent me home.
They called the next day and said, how are you doing?
And I said, I'm a little bit better.
So they said, okay, good.
And I managed to come out of that.
And then two months later, now I start bruising.
So I get, so now, now it's May.
In May, so it's 11 months after I gave birth, I bump
into the baby's changing table and something that
would give you a bruise of like a small coin.
I had a bruise that spanned my entire hip.
It was purple.
And so did I understand that something was wrong
after growing up in a household of My father always
talking about medicine.
Yes, of course I did.
I understood what was going on.
And so I said, all right, I'm going to have, and
I was getting pneumonia again, and it's May.
Nobody gets pneumonia unless they have an
underlying condition.
So I, I get myself to this private doctor.
We still didn't have insurance and I get there and he's
listening to my lungs.
And then he sees the big bruise and he
jumps in front of me.
He looks at me and he said, how did you get this bruise?
And I said, I bumped into the baby's changing table.
And he doesn't believe me.
He thinks that my husband's beating me now.
So luckily I had all my kids with me and he
raises the shirt and all my kids and says, okay.
I believe you.
And I said, look, I'm telling you the truth.
My father was a physician.
This is what happened to me, but we're getting
insurance July 1st.
I only have six weeks to go.
And I have, I said, I am so much better now than
I was six months ago.
Cause I put my children in the car and I drove myself
here to get here to see you.
So of course he gives me all the labs, which
I don't do because.
If I had done those labs, I would have had a
pre existing condition, which means I wouldn't
get insurance July 1st.
And I said, all right, well, I have the labs and I just
took all the medication.
And again, I managed to come out of it.
But what happened was that, you know, that whole bone
marrow suppression that lasted for a couple of years.
And this is how my second year death experience comes about.
So during this whole time, I'm really sick.
My watch has stopped.
We can talk about that later.
And, uh, how do you have this electrical interference?
And I hear the spirit world talking.
So two years later, Uh, I, every day I
have this issue, right?
I can't even stand up to cook for my kids.
I have a stool in the kitchen.
I remember my 90 year old grandmother had this stool
in the kitchen so she wouldn't have to stand up.
So, I, I got this stool so I could sit down because making
pancakes would take too long.
I would pass out.
So, I could sit and flip the pancakes.
So, and I had this feeling that the soul was always
trying to leave, right, just like during my
near death experience.
Every day, several times a day, I would be, nope,
we're not leaving, I'm going to hold on to you,
like come back in the body.
And I would sit down, put my head down, get some more
blood flow, blood flow going.
And many times in the middle of the night, I would wake
up and Have that, you know, pounding head, take my head
off the pillow because I was just blood deficient, right?
I didn't have enough blood that going through my system.
So two years later, same thing happens.
And you know, it probably doesn't take much because when
you already doesn't have any, that amount of blood, right?
So your, your blood is, you know, keeping your
blood pressure high.
So people, uh, for example, who have POTS, that postural
orthostatic tachycardia.
So they bend over, they come up too quickly.
They get dizzy.
It's very common, especially after the pandemic.
We see a lot of more people with that.
And many times you just need more salt.
You need more, more fluids.
You need more electrolytes so that you can keep that
blood pressure high too.
So you don't pass out.
Well, I didn't have any of knowledge about
anything back then.
So I was constantly, you know, on the verge
of passing out and constantly had to sit down.
So, I mean, all it would take is for me to be dehydrated
that day to have another near death experience because
I already was deficient in the blood because of
the bone marrow issue.
So here I am in the middle of the night.
And I always joke that they saved me too quickly the
first time, so I didn't get the full effect.
It didn't, it didn't, I didn't have a course correction
for my life path, so let's do it, let's have, let's
have her have another near death experience so we can
really get her on track.
So here I am in the middle of the night,
which happened often.
I wake up, my head is pounding.
I feel all lightheaded, feel like my soul is leaving.
Take my head off the pillow.
And I just, and it's just, I just, again, just a split
second I'm outside my body.
But this second experience is so different from the first.
And now I'm just tumbling through darkness.
So it's more like a Star Wars movie.
Like I'm traveling through space as a soul.
And I get to this place that I call the midstation
only because I knew that there were levels.
So there were levels above me and levels below me.
It's like you go into a skyscraper that has a hundred
floors and you say, Oh, I need to go to floor 50.
You get off a floor 50.
You know there are floors above you and
floors below you.
You're just, you're not seeing them.
But it was that kind of a sensation that I was
at this med station.
And as I get to this place, I'm just in a
soul, like a soul, like I don't have a body, right?
I'm just in a soul.
And I hear the most beautiful music.
You can't make this music on earth.
And I, I tried.
I sat at a synthesizer for days with over 200 sounds.
Is that any sound that sounds remotely similar to the sound
I heard that you can't make this music on earth because
it's more beautiful than that.
So I hear this incredibly beautiful music and
I'm thinking, where is this music coming from?
And so I look to my right and I see this little log cabin.
And I always laugh.
It looks like a Swedish sauna, like the things we
see, but that's what I see.
I see this little log cabin.
So I, I look at it and I open the door and I look
inside, but it's empty.
It's like, wow, that's so strange.
So I look to my left and I see another log cabin
and it looks just like the one on the right.
It's like a mirror image.
So I opened that cabin and I was like, wow, it's empty.
And still hear the music, but then I become
aware of the light.
So this bright white light, the best description I have is
if you take like a spotlight, like a stadium spotlight and
shine it through fog, right?
So it's this kind of, you're just immersed in
this bright white light, but it's coming from behind me.
So as I'm turning around now, I, and face the
light, there is an outline of angels in this.
Bright white light and the music is coming
from the angels and I'm completely aware.
I'm like, I'm looking at angels, but I don't
believe in angels, right?
So I'm very aware of it.
So why am I seeing things that I don't even believe in?
Right?
So the music is coming from the angels, but then.
There is this awareness, this, this light that is the
divine source that we come from the, from the light.
We are light.
We are, we carry the light within us.
We return to the light when we go on, you know, when we
leave this earthly realm.
But we come from that, that is the divine source.
You can call it anything.
I call it divine source because as soon as you
label it, You know, God, you get stuck with a
religious dogma, right?
People wrote the Bible.
God did not write the Bible or divine source
did not write the Bible.
There were people that decided what should be
in the Bible or any other religious text on the earth.
And, you know, if you go back in the day, we all had,
we had all these goddesses and the divine feminine.
Well, then we got Christianity and we got rid of all
the goddesses and we all became, you know, men.
So, depending, you know, if you do the research
on that, I'm not an expert on that at all.
But, uh, we really clearly, you can see that you can't
call it, you can't label it with a religious name.
So that is divine source.
But then I become aware of two spirit, called
the spirit guides.
There's one on my right and one diagonally, diagonally
to the left in front of me.
And they're talking to each other, but I can hear them.
So the one on my right says, Oh, what is she doing here?
She can't be here.
She has to go back.
And I'm like, wait a second, it's been two years and I was
still trying to process my first near death experience.
Right.
So I'm saying, no, no, no, wait a second.
How can I be outside my body and still be me?
You know, how does this work?
And the spirit guide on my left says, well, if I showed
you, right, you're not going to remember because
there's something about what we get to remember.
I think there's some kind of a mechanism, control mechanism.
So then all of a sudden it's like I'm standing on the moon.
It's, imagine just the movie screen just appear
in front of you where you know, it's just all of a
sudden you just see things.
And I see the earth as if I'm standing on the moon
looking down on earth.
But then around the earth I called it.
So this is, you know, 1994, we didn't have
internet barely back then.
I see it's, I call it the silvery, glittery, fishnet.
So it was this kind of diamond shaped silvery.
Sparkle, sparkly, glittery net around the earth.
And I call it the fish net because I grew up in Sweden
and there is, you know, the archipelago in Sweden
with over 20, 000 islands.
And so I spent my summers on an island in
the archipelago with no electricity, no running water.
And.
I would row the boat for my grandmother as she
laid fish nets in the ocean and would catch fish
for the family to eat.
So early in that early morning sun, as I'm rowing, you know,
I'm like seven, eight years old rowing this boat and
she lifted these fish nets out of the water, they're
kind of diamond shaped, but when the, you have the water
droplets on that, it's sort of shimmers and sparkles
in this morning sunlight.
So I'm looking at this and I feel like I'm standing on the
moon looking down on earth.
So to me, it.
Looks like the sparkling fishnet because that's, you
know, now you can Google it and say, grid around the earth
and all these images come up, but we didn't have that then.
I combed the San Francisco library for any information
on this, could not find it.
And so anyway, so here I am, and he says, Everything on
earth is connected to each other, but everything on earth
is connected up to this grid.
And with that information, I got sent back.
And so all these years later, so that was 1994, right?
It's since the past three years, maybe like since about
2020, it all makes sense.
So that's how long.
It's taken to put all those, that little
message to understand what that really meant.
What is the grid?
How does it work?
How are we interconnected to each other, right?
Now we have more knowledge about that and quantum
physics and, and how that all, and how we are actually
all connected to each other.
So that was my, that was my near death
experience in a nutshell.
I know it's a long story.
Rod Bland: In your first NDE, your deceased sister
in law spoke to you, who had died 10 days before.
Was that when you started hearing other voices from
the spirit world as well, or did that not come till later?
Was it just a one off?
Dr. Lotte Valentin: Yeah.
So it started the day after.
And a year later, before my second NDE, uh, I was
lying in bed in the middle of the night and all of
a sudden I become aware.
I couldn't see him then.
Now I see, often see the spirit world mostly, but then
I didn't, I didn't see them.
I just knew.
And I was like, wow, my uncle is here.
And he said, I have passed on, I've gone to the other side
of, you know, I'm leaving.
I'm just here to say goodbye and checking in.
And it was my mom's brother.
And I knew he had had lung cancer, but not that he
would be passing away.
Nobody had said anything.
I think it was kind of a surprise that he
did go at that time.
And so the next day I'm thinking, okay, my mom's going
to call me and let me know her, her brother passed away.
Nobody called.
I was like, wow, this is so strange.
Another day goes by.
So this was the night from Sunday to Monday.
Nobody called Monday.
Nobody called Tuesday.
Wednesday, my mom finally calls.
So she's, you know, doing the chitchat.
How are you doing?
How are the kids?
Blah, blah, blah.
And then she finally says, well, I have, you know,
some sad news to share.
And I said, yes, your brother passed away three days ago.
And.
It was just dead silence on the other side.
She was like, how did you know that?
And I said, he was here.
So then she said, Oh, wow.
You're just like my mom.
You're just like grandma.
Cause grandma always knew when people passed away.
So, and I have memories too of my grandma.
When we were on this island, and she was so upset one day,
I was probably only about seven, and she said, you
know, my friend, so and so, I don't remember who it was,
uh, passed away at 2 a m, because this bird flew into
my window and, and told me.
And I said, okay.
And so we have to, we had to get in this little boat,
this little rowboat with an outboarder motor and drive
15 minutes to an island.
Another island that actually had a pay phone on it, and
so that she could call her friend and get confirmation.
And sure enough, she was absolutely right, but I
think there was also more experiences that I never knew
about because I was so little.
My mom probably knew a lot more.
There's something in the family about that.
But, um, so the spirit world, you know, was, came in.
It started, that mediumship started literally the
day after my first NDE.
I started here in the spirit world.
Rod Bland: And you mentioned there was, there's electrical
disturbances that occur, is that when they're nearby?
Dr. Lotte Valentin: So the watch story, so
it was, let me think.
So it was nine months later.
So my watch, I had put my watch on, um, You know,
during the fall, I think it was September or so.
And it, it died after like five or seven
days, my watch stopped.
And I was so, I was so mad because it's a watch.
Now I don't have time.
And we didn't have cell phones back then.
So now I didn't have a watch, but I also wasn't well enough
to go get another watch.
And I was like, well.
I'll just wait, you know, until I get well enough.
Well, it was nine months later in March, I finally
had the energy to put the kids in the car, drive to
like the store, go inside.
The watches were right inside.
The, the entrance, picked out a watch, paid and left.
So I wore that watch for about five days and it stopped.
I said, wow, it was so much work to get that
watch, you know, because I was not well at all.
It was when the bone marrow suppression kit was coming on.
So I said, all right, I'm going to wait a week or two.
Then I returned, went back, returned the watch and the
ladies, you know, at the, that desk where you return things
said, Oh, that's so strange.
We haven't gotten any other watches, but go ahead,
pick out another watch.
So I got the same watch, worked for five
days and it stopped.
It's like, wow.
Bad luck must be some problem with quality control with
this particular manufacturer.
So went back a third time and again, the ladies at the
desk were, well, we haven't gotten any other watches back.
That's really strange, but go ahead and pick
out another watch.
So I picked out a different brand this time because I
thought there was definitely a manufacturing issue.
So I picked out a different watch, different brand,
wear it for five days.
So then I tell my friend, my friend comes
over with her kids.
So my kids could have some playmates and I
tell her about the watch.
And she looks at me and she goes.
It's not the watch, it's you, honey.
I was like, what do you mean?
It's me.
So she says, well, you're the one that's doing,
killing the watches.
So, but now, you know, we know if you, you know, go
to IANDS, International Association of Near Death
Studies, there is a lot of research that has been done.
Uh, for a long time and probably 50, 60 years.
And a common problem is actually that the watches
stop and people get sick.
Uh, people get divorced within seven years.
Um, people have a hard time with loud noises and
all these different things that have physiological
and psychological issues that come, um, after
somebody else had a near death experience and the
watches is one of them.
So it took me.
12 years.
So when my daughter was about three, I had 16 or
17 watches in my drawer.
Rod Bland: Huh.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: I would just get a new watch.
And then, so I started saving the watches.
I said, well, you never know.
They might start ticking again.
So after a while, so when the watch died, I would
put in a drawer and I would, I would always get
a watch with a second hand.
So I knew if it was working.
So, wow, this one is ticking.
Look at that.
The second hand is moving again.
So I would wear that and I could wear it for
about a week or two.
So, After, after about one year, my watch
lasted about a month.
After two years, it lasted about two months.
After three years, it lasted three months.
And so it took me 12 years for my watch to take almost
to the day, 12 months.
And at that point I said, 12 years, that's it.
My watch worked for a year.
I'm healed.
So, and that's when, now I've heard.
The spirit world for 12 years.
And I would get warnings about accidents.
I saw my kids, I remotely had remote, you know,
remote, um, my kids almost got run over by a truck and
I saw it even though I was a half hour car ride away.
So they were in San Francisco and I was in East Bay,
San Francisco, where we're at home in the house.
And.
All of a sudden, I'm thinking, okay, well, the
kids are going to be home in an hour or two, I should
start prepping dinner.
So, my middle son was, uh, about 17, and my
daughter was like 14, so he was driving now.
And, so, he's in the car, he's driving, his girlfriend
is in the front seat, and my daughter's in the back seat.
So, I'm walking to the kitchen, and all of a sudden,
it's like I'm standing on the street in San Francisco.
I see Our car, I see my son waiting at a red light.
He's trying to make a U turn and he's waiting
for the light to go.
He's going from yellow to red and he's going to
whip the car around before the other cars come.
Well, he's waiting for that yellow red and he says, okay,
now I'm going to go because the other cars are stopping.
Well, there's a truck that's.
Coming in the opposite direction
and he's not stopping.
So the truck is accelerating to get through the light
before it turns red, instead of slowing down.
My son is counting on that.
The truck's going to stop.
So he whips the car around, but the truck
isn't accelerating.
So I see them turning around.
I see my daughter getting flung in the backseat
as he's just stepping on the gas pedal.
And I, I mean, it's like an inch away.
I see the truck like right behind our car.
And I see them speeding down the street and my heart is
pounding and I'm just sitting down, you know, at the kitchen
counter saying, Oh my gosh, thank you, spirit world.
Thank you for saving them.
And I did, it took me like 10 minutes to, before I could
even start prepping dinner.
I knew they were safe.
I saw them speed off.
And then, you know, two hours later they come home and I
knew they were really hungry, so I let them eat first.
And as they finished their food, my daughter looks up
at me and she says, mom, we almost got hit by a truck.
And I look at them and I say, yeah, I know.
I saw you on Embarcadero.
You made a U turn at a red light, at the red light.
And the kid's jaws just,
Rod Bland: Ha ha.
Because they were making up a story that they thought would
be palatable to you, no doubt.
Being teenagers.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: is, you know, really fascinating how.
You know, we have so many abilities that, and you
know, there's so many stories like that, especially
moms seeing their, knowing that their kids are going
to be in danger, right?
They see them in danger or they know they're
going to be in danger.
So that interconnectedness, that, that grid that I saw
and how we are all connected to each other and we're
all connected up and out.
I could not, you know, that is exactly how
things are working.
And that's my work today is, you know, to help people heal.
Uh, help them understand why it is they're sick
and how they're connected to their ancestors.
As much as I would like to say we are individuals,
uh, and we're not.
Affected by our ancestors, and I'm not talking about DNA.
I'm talking about their actions, reactions, and
interactions with other people, their own trauma,
their own emotional trauma.
We are absolutely connected to that.
And they actually even know that, um, they see the DNA.
They have done, um, research on Holocaust
survivors and they can see now into the third.
the next generation, the grandchildren of those
Holocaust survivors, that there's a changes in the
DNA and they've identified some genes like the FKBP5
gene and some other genes.
So they can see, we actually transfer trauma via the
DNA to our offspring.
So those emotion, those emotional issues that our
grandparents had, you know, grandfather served in the war.
He thought it was going to die, all that.
You're carrying that on your DNA, but also, We
are connected through quantum physics because
we are entangled through quantum physics.
So the people that won the, got the physics Nobel
prize last year, the three physicists that proved that
two atoms meet and then whatever, then they separate
the atoms, whatever happens to atom A affects atom B.
Even though they're separated, right?
So, like, think of this, and then if the items have babies,
they're also entangled.
So, if you have an apple, they meet the other apple, you
put one apple in Australia, the other apple in Sweden,
whatever happens, the apple A in Australia is going to
affect apple B in Sweden.
And that's how it is.
We know that from All the intention experiments, like
Lynn McTaggart's work, that started back in 1980 or 1990.
So we can see this, I mean, we can prove it scientifically.
What I'm doing as I work with that, uh, with people
with ancestral healing and the entanglement that we
have with our ancestors.
So It's fascinating because this happened in 1992 and
94, but it wasn't until basically, you know, 2020 or
2018 or something that things finally started to make sense.
So it always takes a long time for things to fall into place.
You don't become a medium overnight, right?
It takes years to develop it takes years of meditation
takes years of listening to the spirit world.
Rod Bland: You mentioned something about, uh, when
you were in the, when you crossed over into the spirit
world after your NDE, that there was no time, but it
took you many years to kind of wrap your head around that.
What did you work out?
Dr. Lotte Valentin: You're right So, oh my
gosh, you drove me crazy.
So I had the experience 1992 or 1994, right?
And then we moved to San Francisco year 2000.
And so it was in the early 2000s Between 2000 and 2004,
and my kids were going to school in the city, so I
was in the city every day.
I had drove them to the city and the San Francisco
Public Library, which is a huge library, was five
minutes from their school.
So I would go to that library and look for anything,
any information on that grid that I had seen.
Any information on time, I would read Stephen
Hawking books on time.
I would skip those crazy math calculations.
It's like, I have no idea what you're talking about here.
Skip that.
Just give me the English text, please.
Could not figure out, you know, why is it that there's
no time on the other side?
But now, I mean, if you listen to the physicists,
they're like, oh, there's no time on the other side.
It's just an illusion, right?
We have the illusion, just like we have an illusion
That we are separate.
We, when we come here to have this earthly experience,
we're under the illusion that we're separate from our
ancestors and what they did, all the things they did wrong
and treated people wrong has nothing to do with us.
I'm separate from them.
No, we're not.
And I work with, I work with a lot of, I work with
people all over the world, but I think it's especially
fun, uh, you know, when you work with somebody who's a
psychotherapist, a physician, counsellor, and And then they
said, like, I don't understand why I have this issue.
And then you point something out and put all the
pieces together for them.
And they say, wow, I do this for other
people, but I couldn't see it in my own life.
But we're so entangled with, you know, first of all, we
have so many emotions about, you know, our parents or
siblings or however, you know, raised us and the environment
we're in and school issues growing up that we can't.
We can't quite see it and we can't put the things together.
And it's not until you start looking at the whole family.
Well, tell me about your grandparents.
Tell me about your aunts and uncle and who ran a
business, who didn't treat their employees right.
Oh, there it is.
And you can see how these patterns of how other people
were treated by somebody else in their family.
But that is the burden they're carrying.
It's, it's fast.
It's absolutely fascinating because we, we're under,
we're under the impression that we're completely
separate and independent and we're not related to these
crazy relatives of ours.
Everybody has crazy relatives.
I don't, I have, there is no such thing as
a perfect family.
Everybody has a crazy relative.
Everybody has somebody in their family that when
you were a little kid and you said, you know,
what about Uncle Billy?
Your mom turns to you and says, we don't
talk about Uncle Billy.
It's like, oh no, no, we're not bringing that up.
Grandma's here now.
Right.
And we sweep all those things under the carpet.
And it's those unresolved issues of our ancestors
that were swept under the carpet, the wrongdoings,
the traumatic events.
That gets swept under the carpet that nobody ever
resolves, that's what gets passed down, but it doesn't
mean You know, if you have a crazy family, there's a lot of
trauma in your whole, like all your family, it doesn't mean
you're carrying all of that.
No, you, you picked like maybe three or
four things out of that.
Somebody else got another three or four things.
I feel like it's a division.
You're up there in the spirit world and it's, we say, all
right, well, you know, I need a life where I'm going
to learn about these things and you need a life where
you need to have a mom like this, and I could be your
mom and do that for you.
And we write these soul contracts and then we
come down to earth and we have no memory of that.
It's all gone.
And then we just go through life and try to jump over the
hurdles as they come along.
But we're so connected to our ancestors, but we
think, but it's an illusion.
We're not.
Rod Bland: Now, at some point after your second NDE,
something, you must have decided that you were going
to go to medical school.
Tell us about that.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: Yeah, so it was so
after 12 years, right?
My watch ticked for an entire 12 months.
I'm like, that's it.
I'm healed.
And I knew that I was now it was well enough.
I could actually move on with my life.
It had been a long, long time.
So I started like a kids quality toys business
online back when there was no templates for
making a website.
You literally had to be a programmer to, you know,
I just read an HTML for dummies and then put it
together in like a day, right?
Because I had the coding experience.
So it was easy for me to make that work.
I literally started my business on a
sample floppy drive.
Rod Bland: Wow.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: And that's how I just, you know, use
that and started my business.
Cause I thought I was never going to be well.
And then, and in 2004, I was like, wow, I made
it like I'm healed.
And I, my kids were in the city at school and
I got on the computer and I said, you know.
When I go back to work, I can't go back to being
a Programmer Systems Analyst because now I was a
completely different person.
And I knew I had to work with healing people and that was
really my calling and I had always wanted to do that.
So I'm thinking, well, maybe there is some online degree
I can do, you know, build on my nutrition degree that I
had gotten back in the 1980s.
So, I stumbled across this website and it says
Naturopathic Medical School, become a naturopathic doctor.
They get trained in pharmaceuticals, they get
trained in botanical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy,
you know, supplements, nutrition, and it's like
the whole holistic package.
Then I realized it's a real medical school.
I'm like, wow.
That sounds really cool, but I can't do that.
And there's only five of those medical schools in
all of the United States.
As I said, four year degree is a real medical school.
You become a real doctor.
And I mean, if I did it, I'm in my forties now, right?
So if I did it, there's no guarantee they
would even accept me.
And I got to do all the prereqs biochemistry, like
the chemistry, biology, physics, math, just to
do the prereqs, right?
So I can even apply.
So I'm like, okay, fine, I'm closing the computer.
I'll go start dinner and I'll look tomorrow.
There's got to be something out there.
So as I'm walking towards the kitchen, I become
aware of the spirit world dropping in on me.
So the spirit world says you have to go to medical
school and you have to be a doctor and you have
to combine East and West.
I'm like, okay, East and West.
That's kind of naturopathic medicine,
like old and new kind of.
And, uh, you're to write two books.
No, wait, three.
And, and I also knew that, um, how am I supposed to do this?
And they said, you're also, so they also said, you have to
bring messages to the people.
I'm like, Matt, what are you talking about?
What am I supposed to write about?
Like, I'm not thinking of myself as an author
or a writer, never have.
And, and then they say, no bringing messages.
I'm like, what messages?
And they're like, don't worry about it.
When the time is right, we will tell you for now,
just focus on getting your doctorate degree because
you need that degree for the work you're here to do.
So after listening to the spirit world for 12 years,
having gotten warned about accidents and people dying
and people being sick, I mean, I could talk for hours,
right, about all the different things that happened.
And I said, okay.
And within two weeks I was enrolled.
I, it was right before, it was two weeks before the community
college started, started.
So I was enrolled within two weeks and I had to
start from the beginning because I was a business
major as an undergraduate.
So I didn't even have the biology.
So I had to take high.
Advanced Placement High School Biology to get into
the biology pre rec class.
So, really, let's start from the beginning.
So, I did all those classes and, uh, then applied
to medic, only applied to two schools and was
accepted to both of them.
And then I went to,
started medical school when I was 54 and
graduated when I was 58.
And that, oh, that is a journey.
Um, and then as soon as I graduated, Um, I went to,
so it takes you two months.
You take the board.
You take, first you take the science, um, the science
boards two years after med school and pretty much
the same as the boards that the regular MDs take.
It's all about the science.
It's all about anatomy, biochemistry and
all that physiology.
And then when you graduate, you take the clinical boards
and it's three days of exams and you know, it's just.
Hours and hours of testing and reading cases.
And what are you going to do?
You can, you, you arrive at the scene and you still have
the four patients, you know, this is upon is doing that.
You have a child that's vomiting and you know,
blah, blah, blah.
It's dehydrated.
You got a woman that's screaming, she's going to
commit suicide and you got somebody else who's doing
something else and you have to then, you know,
and you can only read the question, look at the quest,
look at the answer, look at the multiple choice
answers, select the ones.
You basically only have time to read the question
once because there's too many questions.
You read it.
You answer, you read it, you answer, and it's hours of
testing and so that they can see that you're using your
knowledge and you're using your, your wisdom, right?
So you're going to give that child the IV because
that's the craziest, the most vulnerable, the young child,
the seven year old that's dehydrated and vomited and had
diarrhea in a car all night.
So you know that that child is going to go
into shock in a second.
So you're going to go with the child.
So they check to make sure you can triage a
situation and know which, which person needs So you
can save the most lives.
So you do exams for three days.
So I did all that.
And then it literally takes, so the exams were the
first week of August, and it's not the first week of
October that you find out if you passed, because all
the tests are given at the exact same time across all
of the United States so that there can be no cheating,
and then they have to
coordinate the, when they correct the test.
So, you know, all the, all different doctors that sit on
these boards and write these questions, but sometimes it
could be two answers that might be correct, right?
And so then they have to throw that question out
because they realize half of us answered A and the other
half answered B, but both of those answers are actually
correct, depending on how you look at that situation.
So then they have to throw those questions
out, but they have to do it for the whole country.
Right.
So it has to be graded exactly the same.
So that's why it takes so long.
So while I was waiting on getting my license, and
I didn't even know if I'd passed my boards yet, I
studied craniosacral therapy.
And I meet this woman and, and the class is in San Francisco,
but I'm living in Arizona.
And she says, we never got to work with each other, but we
knew we both lived in Arizona.
So I said, well, you know, I'm, I'm like two hours
outside, uh, Phoenix right now, uh, working in a
clinic, but I'm come down to Phoenix a lot for like
conferences and stuff.
So when I'm down there, uh, let's have dinner.
So we made up for dinner and it's September, so I'm
still waiting for my license.
And she says, you know, um, and she's like a
high position, like she's very well, super
educated, this woman.
And she says, amongst other things, I'm a medium and I
have somebody here who wants to like speak to you and are
you open to receive messages?
And she says, all right.
I said, okay.
And I'm thinking, oh, this will be good.
Like she's, there's no way she's going to be able to
know anything about me.
I grew up in Europe, like.
You know, it's so different.
Well, sure enough, she has my mom and All these
messages come through and she says, you have to go
to Arthur Finley College.
And I'm like, I can't go.
I don't, I don't even know my, I don't even
have my license yet.
I have to work.
I just graduated.
I need money.
Right.
I'm like living on nothing at this point.
I just came out of med school and she says, no, she
keeps saying you have to go to Arthur Finley College.
So after the third time I said.
Okay, fine.
I will go.
I will figure out a way.
I will get over there.
Well, six months later, I was at Arthur Findlay College in
England, studying mediumship.
Rod Bland: Wow.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: And I had a reading with
one of my teachers.
And my teacher says, Oh, you know, your mother is here.
And da da da da da, she knows everything about me.
And I know it's my mom because, you know, we're
talking about fishing and the rowboats.
So I knew it was my mom.
And She said, Oh, your mom tells me
you're writing a book.
And I had, all I had was literally an outline of
the chapters at that point.
I was kind of trying to figure out what to write about
and how to, you know, write the structure of the book.
And she said, Oh, your mom says that you're
to write two books.
No, wait, three.
And so that was the exact same message that I had gotten
in my living room, right?
Walk into the kitchen in 2004 and I have gotten
that message also from that friend that sent me to Arthur
Findlay College She also said your mom is telling
me you're writing a book.
Oh, no, wait, two.
No, no, wait three.
You're writing two books No, wait three that message
it keeps coming through.
So I've gotten that message Four times from four different
mediums that didn't know anything about me and it's
always the same message Yeah, yeah, you're to write a book.
No wait, you know, you're writing two books No, wait
three and it's always the same wording every single time.
So I'm like, okay, I've written one book
So I got two more.
So the next one Kind of, it's, it's brewing in my head.
And so I think that's going to probably start this year.
And I had a, I had a reading with one of my teachers,
Arthur Finley, somebody who doesn't know me.
I love having readings with people who don't know me.
And it was right before Christmas and she said,
you're writing a book.
And I said, well, not yet.
I haven't started yet.
And she goes, same thing.
It's in your head.
So it's brew.
So that second book is brewing, but it's going
to be very It's going to build on the first book.
The first book is, uh, is about my near
death experiences.
It's about, uh, the most embarrassing moment in my
life, which is really funny.
Um, and then the, being on the airplane that
fell out of the sky.
Um, it's one of those, you know, like a airplane
horror movie when everything flies through the cabin.
I was on one of those flights.
It was another moment when I thought I was going to die.
and then it has just a lot of things that I
learned, stories about.
how the spirituality came about, how shamanism came
about, you know, how do we tune into that other reality?
How do we become more intuitive ourselves?
So we can tune into all this, all this information that
is readily available for us, but we don't know how to
use that intuitive ability.
So that's what I do in the book.
I, I try to give a lot of examples of things and
how it happened for me.
And then.
Each chapter has a little lesson at the end, so to
easily incorporate into everybody's life and
say, Oh, I could do that.
That's easy.
Right.
And sort of take them on that journey so that they can
develop their own intuitive abilities and sort of tune
into the spirit world by just kind of going through
and how it happened for me.
So the second book will be more about.
will be a deeper level of spirituality and healing and,
uh, how we're all connected through time and space.
Rod Bland: And if people want to ask you questions, Dr.
Lottie, are you open to that and what's the best
way for them to do that?
So the best way to work with me
Dr. Lotte Valentin: is you go to drlotte.
com, d r l o t t e.
com, drlotte.
com.
And so I offer a lot of different sessions.
I work as a medical medium or medical intuitive.
I mean, I use my intuitive abilities, but I work with
the spirit world all the time.
Uh, it's not something that I can shut off at this point.
You know, I work with somebody, the
spirit world is there.
And so they work with me.
Uh, so I work as a medical medium or medical intuitive,
whatever you want to call it, and, uh, I work as a
remote, like remote health consultations to help people
because I get a lot of people that they've been to the
doctor They've been around the block and they tell them
there's nothing wrong with you And then they finally
land on my screen and I'll say no, I know what you have.
This is your problem This is how you're gonna fix it.
So it's kind of fascinating because I feel like the
spirit world sort of guides people Like go over here.
She'll know how to help you and then I do Uh, a
fun session, a really fun session that's called messages
from your spirit guides.
So I could, I have not been able to draw my whole life.
And so I'm at Arthur Finley College and they
say, Oh, you know, you should take an art class.
You can draw.
And I'm like, no, you don't understand.
I can't draw.
I've always wanted to know how to draw.
I draw stick figures like I cannot draw.
I can't draw a dog or a bunny or a face.
I don't know how to draw.
And they're just, no, you know how to draw.
I don't know.
So during the pandemic, Arthur Finley College has
an, a drawing class, like how to draw faces throughout
the spirit world online.
So I take this class during the pandemic, so she draws
one face and we're trying to follow along and she's
like, all right, that's it.
Now I'm going to put you like.
Work with somebody else and you're gonna draw one face.
Now I'm supposed to draw a face.
Well of course you draw a face like five in five minutes.
You've sketched out this face.
You see what it looks like.
It is.
It is just amazing.
But that's the spirit world that's kind
of working with you.
Once you open your channels, you have all so much more
information available.
Uh, then you think you do.
So I do this thing called messages from
your Spirit guides and.
So I see this, I see the spirit guide, uh, and so
I sketch it and it usually takes five or six minutes to
get a sketch of that spirit.
Guide on paper.
And once I see the spirit guide, I know a lot about
the client on the screen because you're like a
mirror image or a reflection of your spirit guide.
So whatever the spirit guide tells me, okay, you have
this kind of a spirit guide.
I know you have, um, uh, you know, let's say, well, the
funniest one I think is, I had a warrior once, I asked
them, it's three times I said.
A warrior?
You're a spirit guide and you're a warrior.
Am I hearing you correctly?
Yes, I'm a warrior.
I'm like, okay.
And I'm looking at the screen and I have this petite
looking man and I'm thinking he's probably an accountant.
He's got a warrior spirit guide.
What is this?
So I tell him, okay, well, you're The spirit
guide says, you know, he fights for justice.
He fights for, you know, protecting people and he's
like, he's a warrior, but he's a good intentions because
he's doing the right thing.
Uh, he can live in the woods for a week with
just a knife and he is a survival, blah, blah, blah.
And he starts laughing.
And the guy says,
I'm a retired police officer and I still work like for
justice and corruption and things like that.
So it was really funny.
I think that's the funniest one.
Uh, you know, somebody has a monk, for example, I know if I
see a monk, I know this person is on a spiritual journey,
so I already know, okay, so you are very spiritual.
You meditate all the time.
You're trying to connect with the spirit world.
Like it just comes because.
If I see a monk, I know that that's a reflection of them.
So it could be anything, right?
It was whatever comes in that spirit guide.
That is, you have a lot of spirit guides that come and
go all the time, but you also have a main spirit guide
that's with you all the time.
And that main spirit guide is the one that comes
in during that session.
And it's always a reflection, the deeper reflection
of what that person is here to do, right?
So, um, they show me things.
Sometimes people come to a crossroad and they, they
don't know what, you know, I'm tired of what I'm
doing, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.
Am I even doing the right thing?
And then the spirit guide might show me, you know,
like, Oh, I see you, you're teaching people, you're
guiding people, or you're counseling people, or you're
healing people, or, you know, whatever comes through.
And then sure enough, that's exactly who they are.
And that's exactly what they're drawn to.
And so it sort of helps
people get on the right track of what they incarnated to do.
It's absolutely fascinating because, you know, it's just,
it's their spirit guide.
But then we have spirit guides that come and go,
you know, if you're fixing your car, let's say you've
never fixed a car before, you might have a spirit guide or
a relative that was really good at fixing cars and they
come in and sort of gives you these little nudges and
you feel really smart because you're saying, now I know,
I remember, I should do this or I should try that, right?
But many times it's It comes from somewhere else.
And when I wrote my book, I knew somebody was helping me.
And cause English is my second language.
And sometimes that would be, how do you
say this in English?
And.
Somebody was like downloading information.
I didn't know who it was.
And it was before, um, I had only been to Arthur
Finde College once.
So that whole mediumship was opening up and understanding
who I was communicating with.
And so I get to the Arthur Finde College and this,
the teacher is reading me and she says, Oh, you
know, the spirit world says you're writing a book.
And I said, yeah.
And she says, somebody is helping you with that
book in the spirit world.
And I said, yes.
I don't know who it is.
And she said, well, the person that's helping you is.
Somebody, he says, is a man, he says he passed away too
young and he studied English in college but he never
worked with English and I said, I know who it is, it's
my brother in law, he passed away in a car accident.
And so I told his, you know, his kid, my nieces,
I said, hey, guess who helped me write my book,
your dad, in the spirit world, and he is the one.
Because he knew English so well and he, you
know, and it was close.
He was family members.
It was easy maybe for him to connect, uh, and
downloaded that information.
So I would say, Oh, that's how you express it.
And I was like, he would give me the words
like, no, use this word.
That's how you express it.
So it's really fascinating.
We get help like this all the time, but we think.
Oh, you know, that's just coming from somewhere,
but maybe it's your spirit guide, or maybe it's a
relative of yours that is actually helping you.
But we don't, we don't see that because we
don't believe in it.
Like I didn't believe in it.
And so we, we sort of tune out and we think it's just
us, but they're very actively helping us all the time.
Rod Bland: Do you have a final message that you'd
like to leave people with before we wrap up
our conversation today?
Dr. Lotte Valentin: Yes, I would say, you know,
we're all connected.
We're all one, we're one human race.
We're all in the same boat, riding this boat together.
Everything is divine and so is every listener on this show.
We are a part of that divine grid and a divine
experience that we have.
Rod Bland: Thank you for that.
It's been my absolute privilege and pleasure
to have you today.
Thanks very much for coming on the show.
Dr. Lotte Valentin: Well, thank you so
much for having me.
It was a pleasure.
