1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:02,990
I watched them put my body
onto the operating table and

2
00:00:02,990 --> 00:00:06,590
then I guess I blacked out.

3
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:07,430
I don't know.

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,080
The next thing I remember I
was in a room and I could see

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,440
my grandmother who I knew was
my grandma because I knew my

6
00:00:15,670 --> 00:00:19,480
grandma when she was alive
and another woman, and they

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,600
were standing around what
I describe as a well table.

8
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:29,600
My guest today is Julie
Northway, who had a near

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,810
death experience during a
difficult pregnancy and met

10
00:00:32,810 --> 00:00:35,750
her deceased grandmother
amongst other people.

11
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:38,900
Julie, welcome and thank
you so much for coming

12
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:39,650
on the show today.

13
00:00:40,205 --> 00:00:41,075
Thank you for having me.

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,150
Julie, could we start with a
little of the background of

15
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:47,690
your life and then tell us
what happened during your NDE.

16
00:00:48,490 --> 00:00:48,940
Yeah.

17
00:00:49,345 --> 00:00:52,105
I've actually had two
near death experiences.

18
00:00:52,445 --> 00:00:55,595
The first one was the 2007
and the second one was

19
00:00:55,625 --> 00:01:00,105
again related to a pregnancy
with my son in 2009.

20
00:01:00,595 --> 00:01:03,225
So I was in my twenties
for the first one and

21
00:01:03,445 --> 00:01:06,859
in my thirties or late
twenties for the second one.

22
00:01:07,309 --> 00:01:09,889
Before my first
pregnancy in 2007 I was

23
00:01:09,889 --> 00:01:11,299
really very healthy.

24
00:01:11,609 --> 00:01:13,769
I didn't have any
sort of issues.

25
00:01:13,769 --> 00:01:14,429
I was very active.

26
00:01:15,229 --> 00:01:18,349
And this was all
very unexpected.

27
00:01:18,709 --> 00:01:23,284
The pregnancy started off
pretty normal and then

28
00:01:23,614 --> 00:01:25,384
went downhill really fast.

29
00:01:25,384 --> 00:01:28,774
It wasn't something that
I was expecting to happen.

30
00:01:28,774 --> 00:01:29,944
That's a weird
thing to say, right?

31
00:01:29,944 --> 00:01:34,244
But I wasn't expecting to
be dying in my twenties.

32
00:01:34,244 --> 00:01:35,714
I'm 42 now.

33
00:01:35,714 --> 00:01:38,374
So it's definitely
affected my life and

34
00:01:38,884 --> 00:01:40,864
changed my perspective
on how I do things.

35
00:01:40,864 --> 00:01:44,554
And I think I probably
would've gone down a different

36
00:01:44,554 --> 00:01:45,754
path had it not happened.

37
00:01:45,754 --> 00:01:47,984
Not a bad path,
but just different.

38
00:01:48,394 --> 00:01:50,884
So it's affected who I am
and how I view the world.

39
00:01:51,284 --> 00:01:53,944
Let's start with the
first nde since they're

40
00:01:53,944 --> 00:01:55,114
fairly close together.

41
00:01:55,144 --> 00:01:56,984
Can you tell us
what happened there?

42
00:01:57,434 --> 00:02:02,299
So the first one I was
pregnant with my daughter.

43
00:02:02,299 --> 00:02:04,909
At about 21 weeks

44
00:02:04,909 --> 00:02:09,829
I got an infection
and that it was MRSA.

45
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:13,199
And that went septic and
I went into septic shock.

46
00:02:13,729 --> 00:02:17,480
They had to do an
emergency D&C on me.

47
00:02:18,179 --> 00:02:24,389
And during the emergency
D&C I flatlined and at that

48
00:02:24,389 --> 00:02:29,480
time, I, from what I remember
of what happened before my

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,065
near death experience I was
taken to the operating room.

50
00:02:34,464 --> 00:02:38,125
And I remember screaming,
but I couldn't have been

51
00:02:38,130 --> 00:02:41,194
screaming because at that
point the infection was

52
00:02:41,194 --> 00:02:44,374
in my lungs, so I couldn't
breathe without assistance.

53
00:02:44,824 --> 00:02:49,039
So I remember screaming at
the doctors, To not, cuz they

54
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,299
were moving me around, right?

55
00:02:50,299 --> 00:02:53,329
They were moving me from
one table to another and

56
00:02:53,334 --> 00:02:56,329
I remember watching them
and screaming at them

57
00:02:56,329 --> 00:02:57,980
to not move my body.

58
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,660
And then they obviously didn't
hear what I was saying and I

59
00:03:02,665 --> 00:03:06,050
was looking at myself, which
I obviously couldn't have

60
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:09,290
been doing, but it wasn't
registering like it, it all

61
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:13,804
seemed very, normal, not
normal, but it didn't seem

62
00:03:13,804 --> 00:03:15,335
like something was amiss.

63
00:03:15,394 --> 00:03:17,884
It just seemed like
the doctors weren't

64
00:03:17,884 --> 00:03:18,754
listening to me.

65
00:03:18,855 --> 00:03:22,605
Once they moved me from one
table to another table, and

66
00:03:22,605 --> 00:03:26,325
it's weird because I felt
the table was metal, the one

67
00:03:26,325 --> 00:03:29,504
they moved me onto, and I
could feel it, I could feel

68
00:03:29,514 --> 00:03:31,164
the cold metal in my body.

69
00:03:31,584 --> 00:03:34,414
But I was looking at
it, if that makes sense.

70
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:37,374
I think like when you hear
of phantom limbs and things

71
00:03:37,374 --> 00:03:40,384
like that, I've never had
a phantom limb, but when

72
00:03:40,384 --> 00:03:43,381
people describe that,
that's the same sensation.

73
00:03:43,941 --> 00:03:47,671
And I watched them put my body
onto the operating table and

74
00:03:47,671 --> 00:03:51,271
then I guess I blacked out.

75
00:03:51,301 --> 00:03:52,111
I don't know.

76
00:03:52,161 --> 00:03:56,751
The next thing I remember
I was, I don't even wanna

77
00:03:56,751 --> 00:03:59,121
say waking up because I
don't remember being asleep.

78
00:03:59,121 --> 00:04:04,011
I was just all of a sudden
there and I was in a room and

79
00:04:04,011 --> 00:04:07,281
I could see my grandmother who
I knew was my grandma because

80
00:04:07,281 --> 00:04:11,741
I knew my grandma when she was
alive and another woman, and

81
00:04:11,741 --> 00:04:15,921
they were standing around what
I describe as a well table.

82
00:04:16,131 --> 00:04:20,181
So a coffee table
that's round.

83
00:04:20,691 --> 00:04:22,551
But if you look into
the coffee table, light

84
00:04:22,556 --> 00:04:23,421
was coming out of it.

85
00:04:23,901 --> 00:04:27,228
So it was like a circular
well, that light was

86
00:04:27,478 --> 00:04:29,248
coming out of that they
were standing around.

87
00:04:30,088 --> 00:04:32,708
And it was two women.

88
00:04:32,708 --> 00:04:35,528
So my grandmother and another
woman who I didn't recognize.

89
00:04:36,023 --> 00:04:39,973
But who felt very familiar
and very comforting.

90
00:04:40,093 --> 00:04:42,793
And I like to think
that she's family.

91
00:04:42,823 --> 00:04:45,973
Like she felt like maybe
another grandmother that

92
00:04:45,973 --> 00:04:50,718
I didn't know or someone
else or maybe my husband's

93
00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:51,919
grandmother, I don't know.

94
00:04:52,498 --> 00:04:56,448
But she was holding my baby,
which who I just lost and I

95
00:04:56,448 --> 00:04:59,658
didn't really understand or
know that I just lost her.

96
00:05:00,108 --> 00:05:02,828
But the woman that was
with my grandma was holding

97
00:05:02,828 --> 00:05:07,011
her in like a 1970s style
blanket, like the type of

98
00:05:07,011 --> 00:05:09,556
blanket that they used to
put in hotel rooms in the

99
00:05:09,561 --> 00:05:10,846
eighties and the seventies.

100
00:05:11,356 --> 00:05:13,606
And so my baby was wrapped
up in that blanket and

101
00:05:13,606 --> 00:05:18,956
she was holding her and
it was comforting and very

102
00:05:19,756 --> 00:05:20,926
like being with family.

103
00:05:21,026 --> 00:05:24,746
The woman that I didn't
recognize, she was very broad.

104
00:05:24,816 --> 00:05:27,396
And I like to compare
her to Rosie the Riveter

105
00:05:27,396 --> 00:05:27,966
and I don't know,

106
00:05:27,966 --> 00:05:30,427
being in Australia if that is
a reference that makes sense.

107
00:05:30,866 --> 00:05:35,916
But Rosie the Riveter was
a a character that they

108
00:05:35,916 --> 00:05:39,756
used to use to promote
war efforts at home.

109
00:05:39,816 --> 00:05:42,516
She was like a woman that
worked in factories, right?

110
00:05:42,816 --> 00:05:45,456
And she wore like a bandana
and she was really strong

111
00:05:45,456 --> 00:05:48,636
and she would work in the
factories and make, I don't

112
00:05:48,636 --> 00:05:51,906
know, airplane rivets for the
planes that went to Europe.

113
00:05:52,006 --> 00:05:54,496
And that's the sort of the
vibe I got from this woman.

114
00:05:54,496 --> 00:05:59,506
Like 1940s tough lady
or something like that.

115
00:05:59,506 --> 00:06:02,246
Not in a tough beat you up
type of sense, but tough

116
00:06:02,246 --> 00:06:05,536
as in a strong woman who
was also very comforting.

117
00:06:05,586 --> 00:06:07,986
So we were together.

118
00:06:08,066 --> 00:06:11,206
We were communicating, but
there wasn't talking, and

119
00:06:11,206 --> 00:06:12,646
I didn't question anything.

120
00:06:12,696 --> 00:06:15,486
I think that was the oddest
bit, is I just accepted

121
00:06:15,486 --> 00:06:16,626
everything as it was.

122
00:06:16,926 --> 00:06:18,516
It all felt very real.

123
00:06:18,566 --> 00:06:20,186
It was more real
than this is real.

124
00:06:20,696 --> 00:06:24,936
And the conversation was
going back and forth, but

125
00:06:24,941 --> 00:06:27,516
there just weren't any words
and it just made sense.

126
00:06:28,296 --> 00:06:33,011
We mostly spoke about my
daughter because and I've

127
00:06:33,011 --> 00:06:38,101
explained this to other people
before my, my instinct, my

128
00:06:38,191 --> 00:06:42,901
maternal instinct was so on
high alert and I felt like I

129
00:06:42,901 --> 00:06:47,221
was still maybe one foot in
the living and one foot there.

130
00:06:47,701 --> 00:06:53,362
And my maternal instincts
were really needing to

131
00:06:53,367 --> 00:06:56,601
be with my baby and they
weren't letting me hold her.

132
00:06:56,601 --> 00:06:59,486
And they were saying that we
have to be apart and that they

133
00:06:59,486 --> 00:07:01,016
were gonna take care of her.

134
00:07:01,406 --> 00:07:02,756
But I had to go back.

135
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:07,416
And I was having trouble
processing that, and

136
00:07:07,826 --> 00:07:08,966
there wasn't a rush.

137
00:07:09,056 --> 00:07:13,096
It didn't feel like there was
a time limit for how long I

138
00:07:13,096 --> 00:07:14,416
could stay there or anything.

139
00:07:14,416 --> 00:07:16,671
They were just saying,
no, this isn't how

140
00:07:16,931 --> 00:07:17,262
it's gonna work.

141
00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:19,421
You're gonna need to go back.

142
00:07:19,481 --> 00:07:22,091
We're gonna stay here, we're
gonna take care of her.

143
00:07:22,781 --> 00:07:25,581
And it felt like I was there
for a really long time.

144
00:07:26,381 --> 00:07:32,151
And I wasn't taken away
from them until I could

145
00:07:32,151 --> 00:07:33,681
be, if that makes sense.

146
00:07:33,681 --> 00:07:35,481
So we were there
for a long time.

147
00:07:35,481 --> 00:07:36,831
It was really beautiful.

148
00:07:36,921 --> 00:07:40,801
It was really comforting
and it was almost like

149
00:07:41,651 --> 00:07:48,256
waves or pulsations of
comfort and it was just.

150
00:07:49,056 --> 00:07:52,226
I don't know how to almost
like an echo of comfort and

151
00:07:52,686 --> 00:07:54,006
we didn't leave the room.

152
00:07:54,096 --> 00:07:56,646
We were always in that and
it wasn't really a room

153
00:07:56,646 --> 00:07:58,746
cuz there wasn't a ceiling,
like it was more like a

154
00:07:58,746 --> 00:08:00,906
cave with a well in it.

155
00:08:01,176 --> 00:08:03,807
And it just, it's just
where we were and we

156
00:08:03,812 --> 00:08:06,836
didn't leave that place
until I was taken away.

157
00:08:07,406 --> 00:08:10,466
But we were just
there together, being

158
00:08:10,466 --> 00:08:11,576
with my daughter.

159
00:08:11,756 --> 00:08:14,066
Not allowed to hold
her, but being with her.

160
00:08:14,606 --> 00:08:17,366
Being told that it was
gonna be okay and they were

161
00:08:17,366 --> 00:08:21,536
gonna watch her, and that
I needed to move forward

162
00:08:21,541 --> 00:08:23,786
and I wasn't given a why
I needed to go forward.

163
00:08:23,791 --> 00:08:26,066
I wasn't given a why
I couldn't stay there.

164
00:08:26,336 --> 00:08:29,546
It was just, this isn't
what you're doing right now.

165
00:08:30,346 --> 00:08:33,076
So I'm just gonna pause there,
see if you have any questions

166
00:08:33,076 --> 00:08:35,716
because then they took me
out and I'll get into that.

167
00:08:35,716 --> 00:08:40,151
One I have is when you say
they didn't tell you why you

168
00:08:40,151 --> 00:08:43,761
had to go, did you actually
ask why can't I stay?

169
00:08:44,501 --> 00:08:46,781
No, I didn't ask
too many questions.

170
00:08:46,781 --> 00:08:48,341
I was very demanding.

171
00:08:48,726 --> 00:08:51,396
I was more like, I'm going
to stay, and they would be

172
00:08:51,396 --> 00:08:53,346
like, no, you have to go.

173
00:08:53,606 --> 00:08:56,946
Sometimes people have asked
me what questions did you ask?

174
00:08:56,946 --> 00:08:58,806
Or Did you get answers for
this, or the other thing?

175
00:08:59,361 --> 00:09:00,621
I didn't care.

176
00:09:00,681 --> 00:09:03,771
All I cared about was my
daughter and being with my

177
00:09:03,771 --> 00:09:08,271
daughter and what I was gonna
have to do to protect her or

178
00:09:08,271 --> 00:09:09,711
make sure she was protected.

179
00:09:10,011 --> 00:09:13,016
Like the questions of
the universe or the whys

180
00:09:13,016 --> 00:09:16,466
I couldn't go or things
like that were not on

181
00:09:16,471 --> 00:09:17,086
the top of my list.

182
00:09:17,496 --> 00:09:20,426
So yeah, it was more like,
I'm gonna stay here with

183
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:24,826
you, and they would be like,
no, that's not gonna happen.

184
00:09:25,216 --> 00:09:28,466
So it was, and again,
with all the love.

185
00:09:28,466 --> 00:09:31,706
It wasn't demanding or
angry or anything like that.

186
00:09:31,756 --> 00:09:33,736
It was just not what
was gonna happen.

187
00:09:33,976 --> 00:09:38,176
So they basically waited
until you were okay to go

188
00:09:38,176 --> 00:09:39,316
and that's when you went.

189
00:09:39,316 --> 00:09:42,136
But there wasn't any
pressure to go, you just

190
00:09:42,196 --> 00:09:42,886
knew that we were gonna

191
00:09:42,951 --> 00:09:45,381
no, and it was And just,
I've heard other people say

192
00:09:45,381 --> 00:09:50,421
this too, time didn't really
exist, so it wasn't like that,

193
00:09:50,421 --> 00:09:53,811
that feeling of you have
until noon or you have until

194
00:09:53,811 --> 00:09:55,011
the sun sets or whatever.

195
00:09:55,401 --> 00:10:00,351
There wasn't that, there
wasn't that ticking time bomb.

196
00:10:00,731 --> 00:10:03,821
So I felt like I was
there with them for a very

197
00:10:03,821 --> 00:10:06,031
long duration of time,
even though I did have

198
00:10:06,031 --> 00:10:07,051
to go at a certain point.

199
00:10:07,851 --> 00:10:08,181
Okay.

200
00:10:08,181 --> 00:10:10,981
I assume that at some
point you came back and

201
00:10:11,101 --> 00:10:13,231
what was your experience
like of coming back?

202
00:10:13,411 --> 00:10:18,761
So what happened was when
it was time to go, another

203
00:10:19,211 --> 00:10:22,211
person, another, I don't,
he didn't feel human.

204
00:10:22,261 --> 00:10:23,251
I don't know what he was.

205
00:10:23,711 --> 00:10:25,511
He came into the room.

206
00:10:25,571 --> 00:10:28,091
He was wearing a long
coat, like a trench coat,

207
00:10:28,631 --> 00:10:30,851
and he didn't really
have facial features.

208
00:10:31,551 --> 00:10:32,831
But he wasn't scary.

209
00:10:32,831 --> 00:10:35,171
He wasn't like, when I
say he didn't have a face,

210
00:10:35,171 --> 00:10:37,596
people are like, ah, but
he wasn't frightening.

211
00:10:37,596 --> 00:10:39,426
He was, again,
very comforting.

212
00:10:39,916 --> 00:10:43,066
And he came in and
communicated to me that

213
00:10:43,066 --> 00:10:44,596
I had to leave with him.

214
00:10:45,066 --> 00:10:49,526
I left with him and again, I
blacked out or I had the same

215
00:10:49,526 --> 00:10:54,726
sensation anyways that I had
between the operating room

216
00:10:54,786 --> 00:10:56,706
and the room with the well.

217
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,970
It was the same sensation.

218
00:10:57,975 --> 00:10:59,050
I was with him.

219
00:10:59,470 --> 00:11:01,445
He said we had to go and
I blacked out and then I

220
00:11:01,445 --> 00:11:03,035
was just in another place.

221
00:11:03,785 --> 00:11:07,835
And this place
was much bigger.

222
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,665
It wasn't like a room, it
was when they say your life

223
00:11:11,665 --> 00:11:13,045
flashes before your eyes.

224
00:11:13,495 --> 00:11:16,225
It was like that, except
it was a landscape.

225
00:11:16,825 --> 00:11:22,815
And instead of seeing images
of places I've been and things

226
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:27,065
that I did, I saw structures
like on a landscape.

227
00:11:27,555 --> 00:11:32,855
And each structure was
built by relationships

228
00:11:32,855 --> 00:11:33,875
I had with people.

229
00:11:34,025 --> 00:11:38,045
If for my husband for
example, for my husband,

230
00:11:38,075 --> 00:11:41,535
there was a really strong
structure and it had this

231
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:46,665
radiating light and it was
very big and complicated.

232
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:49,995
And cuz we've been together
for a long time and there's

233
00:11:49,995 --> 00:11:50,656
a lot of love there.

234
00:11:51,535 --> 00:11:56,925
So it was this grand structure
and then for people that

235
00:11:57,195 --> 00:12:01,265
might have had like a smaller
piece of my life, a teacher

236
00:12:01,265 --> 00:12:03,965
that I had in kindergarten
or something, it might have

237
00:12:03,965 --> 00:12:06,905
been a smaller structure,
but still glowing and still

238
00:12:06,905 --> 00:12:10,055
beautiful or maybe a little
bridge or a little cottage.

239
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:14,185
And then people that I've been
cruel to or were cruel to me,

240
00:12:14,755 --> 00:12:18,835
there was like dark crumbling,
not radiating structures.

241
00:12:19,195 --> 00:12:25,615
So it was like a landscape of
these magic Legos that some

242
00:12:25,615 --> 00:12:29,275
were glowing, some were dark,
some were grand, some were

243
00:12:29,275 --> 00:12:32,785
little, just little bridges,
like anything you would see,

244
00:12:33,385 --> 00:12:35,905
but made out of these blocks.

245
00:12:36,295 --> 00:12:40,268
And every one of them we sort
of looked at and explored.

246
00:12:40,898 --> 00:12:44,588
And again, time didn't
really seem to matter, and

247
00:12:44,588 --> 00:12:47,968
each one of them introduced
me to the relationship I

248
00:12:47,968 --> 00:12:51,718
built and the connection I
made in life and how that's

249
00:12:51,718 --> 00:12:53,398
reflecting on the other side.

250
00:12:54,018 --> 00:12:57,108
So this is what you
did with your life.

251
00:12:57,258 --> 00:12:58,788
Here it is visually.

252
00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:01,548
This is what your
life looks like in the

253
00:13:01,548 --> 00:13:02,628
grand scheme of things.

254
00:13:03,348 --> 00:13:05,808
And the things that I did
in my life that mattered

255
00:13:05,808 --> 00:13:10,178
were just connections I made
with other conscious things.

256
00:13:10,418 --> 00:13:13,398
It wasn't a degree that I
got or a job that I got,

257
00:13:13,398 --> 00:13:15,588
or a place that I visited.

258
00:13:15,588 --> 00:13:18,348
It was all people
connections, pretty much.

259
00:13:18,348 --> 00:13:19,848
There might have been
some animals in there,

260
00:13:19,848 --> 00:13:20,688
I can't remember.

261
00:13:20,688 --> 00:13:23,968
But for the, from what I
understand, it was human

262
00:13:23,968 --> 00:13:29,658
connections that I made in
life and how my behavior and

263
00:13:29,658 --> 00:13:34,363
my effort and interactions
positively affected those

264
00:13:34,363 --> 00:13:37,153
people and how their
interactions positively

265
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:41,233
or negatively affected
me and how that sort of

266
00:13:41,263 --> 00:13:43,093
reflected on the other side.

267
00:13:43,333 --> 00:13:47,293
So we just explored that and
explored those different types

268
00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:52,203
of structures for again, like
a long time, even though it's,

269
00:13:52,743 --> 00:13:54,063
it didn't feel long, right?

270
00:13:54,068 --> 00:13:56,823
And every time I mention
time, whether it's in the

271
00:13:56,823 --> 00:14:00,873
room with the well or here,
it's more, we did a lot

272
00:14:00,963 --> 00:14:02,643
than it took a long time.

273
00:14:02,673 --> 00:14:05,403
So we went through all
those structures and we

274
00:14:05,408 --> 00:14:10,593
accomplished a lot of things,
but the idea of it taking

275
00:14:10,598 --> 00:14:14,633
a long time wasn't really a
thing, if that makes sense.

276
00:14:15,433 --> 00:14:21,323
So after we had gone through
this sort of, what people

277
00:14:21,323 --> 00:14:24,203
call a life in review and
looked at all these structures

278
00:14:24,323 --> 00:14:26,033
he took me to a tree.

279
00:14:26,613 --> 00:14:31,353
Like a huge tree that
was moving and like

280
00:14:31,353 --> 00:14:35,613
breathing and you could
see like the tree growing.

281
00:14:35,793 --> 00:14:40,718
And it was going top to
bottom and the branches

282
00:14:40,718 --> 00:14:43,688
were growing out and some of
the branches were breaking

283
00:14:43,693 --> 00:14:44,948
and falling to the bottom.

284
00:14:45,233 --> 00:14:47,813
And the roots would pull those
branches back in and pull

285
00:14:47,813 --> 00:14:49,043
it back up into the tree.

286
00:14:49,343 --> 00:14:54,493
And it was just like this
circular cycle of this

287
00:14:54,493 --> 00:14:58,933
tree that was moving and
growing and the branches

288
00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:01,823
were breaking, falling down,
going back up and growing.

289
00:15:02,523 --> 00:15:05,983
And he stepped back, the
guy with the coat and

290
00:15:06,033 --> 00:15:07,533
encouraged me to move forward.

291
00:15:07,533 --> 00:15:09,903
And I walked up to the tree
and I reached out to touched

292
00:15:09,903 --> 00:15:14,268
it, and then I blacked out or
whatever I was doing again.

293
00:15:14,688 --> 00:15:19,148
And the next thing you know,
I was in the recovery room

294
00:15:19,718 --> 00:15:22,148
and the doctor was saying
that they almost lost me.

295
00:15:22,163 --> 00:15:24,443
Yeah, that was the end of it.

296
00:15:24,863 --> 00:15:25,583
The tree.

297
00:15:25,993 --> 00:15:27,643
I'm fascinated by the tree.

298
00:15:27,643 --> 00:15:33,273
It is like you had a, an
experience that made sense

299
00:15:33,273 --> 00:15:35,943
to you in terms of the way
that your life was reviewed

300
00:15:35,943 --> 00:15:37,943
and it's a pretty common
theme like the life review,

301
00:15:37,943 --> 00:15:40,393
but my understanding is
it's really tailored to

302
00:15:40,393 --> 00:15:42,913
each individual person and
almost how their mind works.

303
00:15:43,633 --> 00:15:44,713
So that part makes sense.

304
00:15:44,713 --> 00:15:47,863
But the tree is interesting
as how there was a

305
00:15:47,863 --> 00:15:49,213
cyclical nature to it.

306
00:15:49,243 --> 00:15:53,083
Did you have any idea
of why they took you

307
00:15:53,088 --> 00:15:54,073
there to show you that?

308
00:15:54,073 --> 00:15:56,173
Other than, oh, this is
just something that's

309
00:15:56,173 --> 00:15:56,953
really interesting.

310
00:15:56,958 --> 00:15:58,123
Did you get a sense of that?

311
00:15:58,348 --> 00:16:00,958
Whatever it was, is
what brought me back

312
00:16:00,958 --> 00:16:03,318
into the living right.

313
00:16:03,368 --> 00:16:07,028
I think I don't know for sure
of any of this, but cuz once

314
00:16:07,028 --> 00:16:08,648
I touched it, I was back.

315
00:16:08,958 --> 00:16:12,098
But the whole concept
of it felt like we're a

316
00:16:12,103 --> 00:16:15,578
family, basically everybody,
everyone's related at

317
00:16:15,578 --> 00:16:20,708
some level, and we're all
part of this organism,

318
00:16:20,918 --> 00:16:22,238
this single organism.

319
00:16:22,243 --> 00:16:26,213
And we all live our lives and
then we die, and then we get

320
00:16:26,213 --> 00:16:29,903
pulled back up into it and
reinvented and are another

321
00:16:29,903 --> 00:16:32,093
part of this single thing.

322
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:35,248
So that's how I
interpreted it.

323
00:16:35,648 --> 00:16:37,683
He didn't tell me what
it was or anything.

324
00:16:37,683 --> 00:16:41,973
It was really more of just
what came from inside of

325
00:16:41,973 --> 00:16:43,863
me, and that's how I saw it.

326
00:16:44,463 --> 00:16:48,123
Like I'm sure something
in my life connected me to

327
00:16:48,123 --> 00:16:51,423
it or made it so that was
something that I understood.

328
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:55,953
But it was, it definitely
was showing sort of life

329
00:16:55,953 --> 00:16:59,913
and death and that death
really isn't the end of

330
00:16:59,913 --> 00:17:01,443
life, but part of it.

331
00:17:01,513 --> 00:17:03,193
They're both part of
each other, right?

332
00:17:03,193 --> 00:17:08,073
They're both feeding into
the same thing that, in this

333
00:17:08,073 --> 00:17:09,393
case looked like a tree.

334
00:17:09,493 --> 00:17:14,163
So after you came back,
That must have been hard.

335
00:17:14,293 --> 00:17:15,163
What was that like?

336
00:17:15,328 --> 00:17:16,018
Yes.

337
00:17:16,048 --> 00:17:18,598
I lost my daughter,
so I was a wreck.

338
00:17:18,698 --> 00:17:22,978
That on top of that, I
had also lost my own life.

339
00:17:23,648 --> 00:17:25,498
And I didn't know
how to grasp that.

340
00:17:25,888 --> 00:17:27,748
I wanted to be
with my daughter.

341
00:17:28,558 --> 00:17:30,358
I was put in counseling
and things like that.

342
00:17:30,718 --> 00:17:34,198
I was often asked if I was
suicidal because I would

343
00:17:34,198 --> 00:17:37,018
want to be dead, but I
didn't want to kill myself.

344
00:17:37,018 --> 00:17:39,328
I just wanted to go back to
where I was with my daughter.

345
00:17:39,383 --> 00:17:42,793
And it was hard to communicate
that without sounding like

346
00:17:42,798 --> 00:17:45,763
I wanted to kill myself,
which really wasn't the case.

347
00:17:46,243 --> 00:17:49,033
It was a very difficult
couple of years.

348
00:17:49,833 --> 00:17:53,823
Lots of depression, lots of
just wanting to be back there

349
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:58,113
with her and not feeling
that I was in reality.

350
00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:03,103
Because that place was so
much more real and vibrant

351
00:18:03,103 --> 00:18:06,283
and like colors were different
and things just, it seemed

352
00:18:06,283 --> 00:18:08,953
like I had woken up when
I was there and now I was

353
00:18:08,953 --> 00:18:12,373
back asleep and I just
wanted to be awake again.

354
00:18:13,173 --> 00:18:18,483
I ended up having two
more children, which have

355
00:18:18,513 --> 00:18:23,013
made my life obviously
completely more worth living

356
00:18:23,018 --> 00:18:26,343
and made me understand
why I needed to come back.

357
00:18:26,343 --> 00:18:29,883
Because if I hadn't come
back, they wouldn't exist.

358
00:18:29,883 --> 00:18:32,343
And they're such an
important part of who I am.

359
00:18:32,883 --> 00:18:35,723
And I'm sure they'll
affect the world in a

360
00:18:35,723 --> 00:18:37,884
way that will change
other people's lives too.

361
00:18:38,633 --> 00:18:44,543
But until I had my son, I
really struggled with sort

362
00:18:44,543 --> 00:18:48,863
of day to day and finding
meaning in like mundane

363
00:18:48,863 --> 00:18:50,003
things throughout life.

364
00:18:50,003 --> 00:18:51,003
But it's hard.

365
00:18:51,003 --> 00:18:54,003
I don't know if that's because
I had a near death experience

366
00:18:54,003 --> 00:18:55,323
or because I lost my daughter.

367
00:18:55,373 --> 00:18:58,248
Like it's, it was other people
I've spoken to that have

368
00:18:58,368 --> 00:19:03,468
had near death experiences
come back and feel sometimes

369
00:19:03,518 --> 00:19:07,088
they have a renewed sense of
life and they try all sorts

370
00:19:07,088 --> 00:19:10,398
of different new things and
go places and meet people.

371
00:19:10,478 --> 00:19:11,798
Others have depression too.

372
00:19:11,828 --> 00:19:15,008
But I definitely feel
like if I hadn't lost my

373
00:19:15,008 --> 00:19:17,408
daughter, it might have
been a different story.

374
00:19:17,808 --> 00:19:21,283
I might have not gone into
as deep of a depression.

375
00:19:21,323 --> 00:19:25,853
I don't blame the near death
experience for the depression.

376
00:19:25,853 --> 00:19:28,193
I blame more that
I lost my daughter.

377
00:19:28,403 --> 00:19:30,353
When you were having
the life review with the

378
00:19:30,353 --> 00:19:33,273
structures representing
each of your relationships

379
00:19:33,273 --> 00:19:37,619
and interactions, you
mentioned that they were all

380
00:19:38,049 --> 00:19:39,159
to do with relationships.

381
00:19:39,159 --> 00:19:40,509
They weren't really to
do with things that you

382
00:19:40,509 --> 00:19:41,739
accomplished or anything else.

383
00:19:41,739 --> 00:19:45,969
Did that change how you
felt about what you wanted

384
00:19:45,969 --> 00:19:47,979
to do with your life when
you, after you came back?

385
00:19:48,489 --> 00:19:50,940
And yes, it definitely did.

386
00:19:50,945 --> 00:19:54,209
I definitely focus more on the
people in my life, my family.

387
00:19:54,539 --> 00:19:56,279
I cut toxic people out faster.

388
00:19:56,789 --> 00:20:02,049
I have stronger relationships
with people that I love and

389
00:20:02,049 --> 00:20:06,189
who love me back and have
these connections with.

390
00:20:06,649 --> 00:20:09,829
My goals are more
family oriented.

391
00:20:09,859 --> 00:20:14,099
I was always very, I was
like, the A student, the

392
00:20:14,099 --> 00:20:17,939
teacher suck up, the person
that always did that.

393
00:20:17,999 --> 00:20:21,269
And same college, and then my
career, it was the same thing.

394
00:20:21,324 --> 00:20:22,884
I was moving very fast.

395
00:20:22,914 --> 00:20:25,524
I was always going for
the promotion before I

396
00:20:25,524 --> 00:20:26,574
probably should have.

397
00:20:26,574 --> 00:20:31,454
I was  I think at the time
in 2007, I was traveling

398
00:20:31,484 --> 00:20:33,794
80% of the time for work.

399
00:20:34,304 --> 00:20:37,814
So not fun travel,
boring travel and just

400
00:20:37,819 --> 00:20:38,864
those sorts of things.

401
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:42,274
And then after it happened
I stopped the work travel.

402
00:20:42,984 --> 00:20:47,059
I still love traveling,
but just not to hotels and

403
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:53,669
and I, yeah, when I had my
kids, I, everything I do is

404
00:20:53,669 --> 00:20:56,549
in somehow, even the things
I do for myself, somehow

405
00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:58,129
it winds back to my kids.

406
00:20:58,369 --> 00:21:01,339
And I think, a lot of mothers
probably that's the case, but

407
00:21:01,589 --> 00:21:07,804
for me I don't think I had as
much of that in me before I

408
00:21:07,804 --> 00:21:09,874
lost my daughter and my life.

409
00:21:09,874 --> 00:21:14,334
And now the connections I make
with them are strong compared

410
00:21:14,334 --> 00:21:16,644
to, even compared to like
my husband and my parents.

411
00:21:16,649 --> 00:21:20,734
I feel so connected to
them that they're just

412
00:21:20,739 --> 00:21:22,064
incredibly important to me.

413
00:21:22,204 --> 00:21:27,234
My life and my goals are
really much more about my

414
00:21:27,234 --> 00:21:31,574
two kids than about going
for promotions as fast as

415
00:21:31,574 --> 00:21:33,854
I can or things like that.

416
00:21:33,904 --> 00:21:34,384
So yeah,

417
00:21:35,184 --> 00:21:37,969
Do you feel like you have
a more balanced life now?

418
00:21:38,499 --> 00:21:39,519
Definitely.

419
00:21:39,569 --> 00:21:41,399
Maybe almost too homey.

420
00:21:41,449 --> 00:21:42,349
It I

421
00:21:42,899 --> 00:21:45,389
. 
I have left jobs that
didn't have like work home

422
00:21:45,389 --> 00:21:46,679
life balance type things.

423
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:50,299
And I don't take jobs that
don't offer that sort of

424
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,369
world and of availability.

425
00:21:53,169 --> 00:21:54,069
I save money.

426
00:21:54,069 --> 00:21:55,809
I don't wanna sound like
I'm throwing money away,

427
00:21:55,809 --> 00:21:59,204
but if there's something
I can do with my kids and

428
00:22:00,029 --> 00:22:03,459
like I have to throw out the
idea of buying an expensive

429
00:22:03,479 --> 00:22:04,799
outfit or shoes or something.

430
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,539
I definitely spend
it on my kids.

431
00:22:06,929 --> 00:22:09,709
And again, I think a
lot of mothers come to

432
00:22:09,709 --> 00:22:10,729
this conclusion, right?

433
00:22:10,729 --> 00:22:14,389
A lot of people that have
children and love their

434
00:22:14,389 --> 00:22:17,619
children end up doing this
with their children, but this,

435
00:22:18,169 --> 00:22:21,829
my reasoning for it is just
what I saw on the other side.

436
00:22:22,219 --> 00:22:24,499
And other people might have
other reasoning for it,

437
00:22:24,499 --> 00:22:27,229
but I think ultimately when
people have kids, they know

438
00:22:27,229 --> 00:22:31,059
that for their internal
happiness, they wanna

439
00:22:31,059 --> 00:22:32,319
make their children happy.

440
00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:33,184
And my husband too.

441
00:22:33,189 --> 00:22:35,554
My husband and I have a
fantastic relationship.

442
00:22:35,824 --> 00:22:39,679
We've been together 23 years
now and I don't know of

443
00:22:39,684 --> 00:22:41,509
course we fight, of course
there's things like that,

444
00:22:41,699 --> 00:22:46,609
but he's just so important
to me and his role in my

445
00:22:46,609 --> 00:22:49,749
life and our relationship.

446
00:22:50,549 --> 00:22:52,799
And what it's meant to me
over the years has just

447
00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:54,179
been really important.

448
00:22:54,179 --> 00:22:59,129
So I put more of myself into
that and it seems to work.

449
00:22:59,349 --> 00:23:01,269
I find this very
inspirational, this.

450
00:23:01,419 --> 00:23:03,189
When I've started this
channel, I didn't really

451
00:23:03,189 --> 00:23:04,329
know what was gonna happen.

452
00:23:04,329 --> 00:23:05,679
I just wanted to be
able to tell people's

453
00:23:05,679 --> 00:23:07,049
stories and bring

454
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:07,329
Yeah.

455
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:08,409
awareness to people.

456
00:23:08,409 --> 00:23:13,279
But yeah, this is a, oh, this
is a, it's a conversation

457
00:23:13,309 --> 00:23:15,499
that's bringing something
out to me and making me

458
00:23:15,499 --> 00:23:19,129
realize how important children
are and relationships are,

459
00:23:19,129 --> 00:23:21,229
and how some other things
are perhaps not quite as

460
00:23:21,229 --> 00:23:23,209
important, and especially the.

461
00:23:23,584 --> 00:23:25,954
Especially that at some
point they, they gr they

462
00:23:25,954 --> 00:23:26,824
grow up, they get old.

463
00:23:26,824 --> 00:23:28,714
They don't want to be,
they don't wanna be

464
00:23:28,714 --> 00:23:28,924
Yeah.

465
00:23:28,954 --> 00:23:29,314
anymore

466
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:30,954
And they have their own
children and need to

467
00:23:30,954 --> 00:23:33,444
put their whole selves
into that potentially.

468
00:23:33,444 --> 00:23:36,964
They're not gonna be able to
put all of their energy and

469
00:23:36,969 --> 00:23:38,704
relationship energy into me.

470
00:23:38,709 --> 00:23:40,904
They're gonna have to put
that into their partners

471
00:23:40,924 --> 00:23:44,944
or their children or their
community that they put

472
00:23:44,944 --> 00:23:48,484
together for themselves
that's important to them, and

473
00:23:48,694 --> 00:23:50,014
I'm sure that's gonna hurt.

474
00:23:50,014 --> 00:23:54,699
They can create their
world and hopefully that'll

475
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:56,169
expand mine as well.

476
00:23:56,169 --> 00:23:59,339
And yeah, that'll
be something.

477
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:00,939
And even outside
of just children.

478
00:24:00,989 --> 00:24:03,509
All the relationships in
my life, like just trying,

479
00:24:03,659 --> 00:24:07,469
and it's impossible to help
everyone, and it's impossible

480
00:24:07,469 --> 00:24:10,939
to be like this perfect
person, but just trying to

481
00:24:10,939 --> 00:24:15,559
be present enough most of
the time to be kind to people

482
00:24:15,979 --> 00:24:21,549
and to not create these
rotten connections and these

483
00:24:21,969 --> 00:24:25,389
negative pieces of life that
you dwell on and think about

484
00:24:25,389 --> 00:24:29,859
and I dunno, create crumbling
structures in the afterlife.

485
00:24:29,859 --> 00:24:35,174
Yeah, just trying to keep
people reasonably respected in

486
00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:38,784
this life and when you can't,
to cut that relationship

487
00:24:38,784 --> 00:24:42,324
off quickly and move forward
and not dwell on it, I

488
00:24:42,324 --> 00:24:44,004
think has been important.

489
00:24:44,804 --> 00:24:48,259
Okay, so your second Ed,
that's, I'll try that again.

490
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:51,049
Your second NDE that
occurred a couple of years

491
00:24:51,049 --> 00:24:52,039
after your first one.

492
00:24:52,069 --> 00:24:53,089
Could you tell us about that?

493
00:24:53,629 --> 00:24:56,119
Sure this, that this one
was much less dramatic.

494
00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:59,839
I was getting prepped for a
c-section with my first son.

495
00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:01,879
So this was the first
pregnancy after I

496
00:25:01,879 --> 00:25:02,779
lost my daughter.

497
00:25:03,389 --> 00:25:06,959
And I had a reaction to
the anesthesia used in my

498
00:25:06,959 --> 00:25:08,089
spinal for the C-section.

499
00:25:08,889 --> 00:25:12,519
The reaction stopped my
heart and I flatlined again.

500
00:25:13,059 --> 00:25:18,684
The doctors did compressions
on my chest to get me going.

501
00:25:19,224 --> 00:25:23,294
And basically what I saw
is I felt swept out of my

502
00:25:23,294 --> 00:25:28,214
body and I was watching the
doctors chaotically rush

503
00:25:28,219 --> 00:25:31,484
around the room and the
one doctor get on top of me

504
00:25:31,489 --> 00:25:33,164
and do chest compressions.

505
00:25:33,624 --> 00:25:36,954
And they all I've told
this to people before

506
00:25:36,954 --> 00:25:39,144
too, and I always feel
weird saying it, but they

507
00:25:39,144 --> 00:25:42,594
all looked like Russian
dancing bears like spinning

508
00:25:42,594 --> 00:25:45,084
around the operating table.

509
00:25:45,474 --> 00:25:48,894
And it was all very like a
circus, like a weird circus.

510
00:25:49,474 --> 00:25:51,854
And it wasn't negative.

511
00:25:52,064 --> 00:25:55,454
I certainly didn't go to
some loving, wonderful place

512
00:25:55,934 --> 00:25:57,194
like I did the first time.

513
00:25:57,199 --> 00:25:59,959
But at the very least
it was entertaining.

514
00:25:59,989 --> 00:26:02,149
And yeah, I watched
everything happen.

515
00:26:02,479 --> 00:26:04,039
The interesting thing
about that one is

516
00:26:04,039 --> 00:26:05,969
when I came to when.

517
00:26:06,244 --> 00:26:08,474
I woke up the doctor
was on me, so that

518
00:26:08,474 --> 00:26:09,284
was a little scary.

519
00:26:09,284 --> 00:26:12,614
But once the doctor was
off me and I was back

520
00:26:12,614 --> 00:26:15,754
to realizing what just
happened, I felt amazing.

521
00:26:15,784 --> 00:26:19,704
Like it felt like I had
fallen and something

522
00:26:19,709 --> 00:26:20,604
terrible happened.

523
00:26:20,604 --> 00:26:24,234
But then someone lifted me
up and I was completely fine.

524
00:26:24,234 --> 00:26:28,074
Like I felt ready to have
that C-section and better than

525
00:26:28,074 --> 00:26:29,784
I had felt in a long time.

526
00:26:29,784 --> 00:26:31,094
And it was really good.

527
00:26:31,099 --> 00:26:35,044
And they sent me to the, ICU,
the intensive care unit after

528
00:26:35,384 --> 00:26:37,604
to have my heart monitored
to make sure I was okay.

529
00:26:37,604 --> 00:26:39,914
And I was just like in a
great mood the whole time.

530
00:26:39,919 --> 00:26:41,804
And I was talking to the
nurses and everything

531
00:26:41,804 --> 00:26:45,044
and they were just
like, okay, she's fine.

532
00:26:45,044 --> 00:26:48,954
But it was, I was in a
really good mood after that

533
00:26:48,954 --> 00:26:50,444
second near death experience.

534
00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:53,264
It's like you got energized
while you were, while

535
00:26:53,314 --> 00:26:54,124
Yeah, it was

536
00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:54,499
realm.

537
00:26:54,999 --> 00:26:58,059
It was, yeah, it was like
I got a zap of something

538
00:26:58,059 --> 00:27:01,299
and was able to come
back to, and it was good.

539
00:27:01,449 --> 00:27:03,764
Because obviously the
situation wasn't great cuz

540
00:27:03,944 --> 00:27:05,744
I was getting a C-section,
it was like an emergency

541
00:27:05,744 --> 00:27:09,254
C-section, so I hadn't been
feeling good and then all

542
00:27:09,254 --> 00:27:10,514
of a sudden I was fantastic.

543
00:27:10,514 --> 00:27:12,464
So it was all worth it.

544
00:27:12,984 --> 00:27:17,874
So have you had any
changes in, have you had

545
00:27:17,874 --> 00:27:20,724
any special abilities that
you've acquired that you

546
00:27:20,754 --> 00:27:23,074
might call, some people
might call them paranormal.

547
00:27:23,074 --> 00:27:25,114
It doesn't really,
whatever you'd like to

548
00:27:25,114 --> 00:27:26,704
call it, but anything
like that has happened?

549
00:27:27,389 --> 00:27:30,239
So I've told, again, I
don't know if these are

550
00:27:30,239 --> 00:27:34,529
abilities cuz they could l
just be dreams, I don't know.

551
00:27:34,979 --> 00:27:38,429
But I do have dreams with
people that have passed

552
00:27:38,429 --> 00:27:42,109
over and it's always in
the same sort of place.

553
00:27:42,109 --> 00:27:43,249
It's always in a room.

554
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:46,679
I can always tell it's one of
those dreams because they have

555
00:27:46,769 --> 00:27:49,739
a flower, like they're either
wearing a flower or they

556
00:27:49,739 --> 00:27:52,199
have a bouquet of flowers,
or they're wearing like a

557
00:27:52,199 --> 00:27:53,729
Hawaiian shirt if it's a guy.

558
00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:56,669
But there's always a flower
and there's always some

559
00:27:56,669 --> 00:27:57,589
chairs to sit and talk.

560
00:27:57,589 --> 00:27:59,602
And it's just like a visit.

561
00:28:00,132 --> 00:28:03,652
With my grandpa, someone
I see a lot some of my

562
00:28:03,657 --> 00:28:05,422
husband's relatives I see.

563
00:28:05,422 --> 00:28:06,502
And I don't know who they are.

564
00:28:06,502 --> 00:28:06,952
And then I.

565
00:28:07,312 --> 00:28:09,772
Explain them the next day
and he'll say, oh, that's,

566
00:28:09,822 --> 00:28:11,292
my uncle Chuck or whatever.

567
00:28:11,292 --> 00:28:15,462
And I've had these, I
often have a lot of them

568
00:28:15,462 --> 00:28:18,072
right before someone
is about to pass away.

569
00:28:18,702 --> 00:28:23,122
And yeah, and those are, I
don't like to share those

570
00:28:23,122 --> 00:28:26,542
because they're hard for
the people around me, but

571
00:28:26,992 --> 00:28:30,412
I usually see like people
getting ready for them.

572
00:28:30,472 --> 00:28:33,072
Like their brothers or their
mothers or whoever had passed

573
00:28:33,072 --> 00:28:36,062
before them are preparing
things and I'm there standing

574
00:28:36,062 --> 00:28:39,062
around in the way and they're
like, oh, we're getting

575
00:28:39,062 --> 00:28:43,447
this party together for so
and and it's a celebration.

576
00:28:44,047 --> 00:28:48,127
And yeah, they usually pass
in the day or two after that.

577
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,632
And that's, I don't know.

578
00:28:50,682 --> 00:28:53,022
It's comforting to me,
but I know it's probably

579
00:28:53,052 --> 00:28:54,912
not to some other people.

580
00:28:54,912 --> 00:28:59,862
I don't like to bring that
up to family that often.

581
00:28:59,922 --> 00:29:03,352
But I also see a couple
times a year, I have a

582
00:29:03,352 --> 00:29:09,412
dream or something where
entities like the man in

583
00:29:09,412 --> 00:29:12,652
the trench coat come and
they ask me a bunch of

584
00:29:12,652 --> 00:29:18,187
questions usually about aging
and dying or generations.

585
00:29:18,487 --> 00:29:23,167
So oftentimes they'll show
me like a mental image

586
00:29:23,167 --> 00:29:26,032
of my grandma and then
a mental image of my mom

587
00:29:26,032 --> 00:29:27,322
and a mental image of me.

588
00:29:27,727 --> 00:29:31,357
And ask me, just explain like
how they're different people.

589
00:29:31,957 --> 00:29:37,447
Cuz so like we see one woman
here, are they different

590
00:29:37,447 --> 00:29:39,167
women or are they one woman?

591
00:29:39,697 --> 00:29:42,007
Are they the same person
or are they three different

592
00:29:42,007 --> 00:29:43,087
people type of a thing.

593
00:29:43,687 --> 00:29:47,127
And then I explained to them
that like in generations,

594
00:29:47,127 --> 00:29:50,127
like your blood passes down so
you're sharing the same blood,

595
00:29:50,127 --> 00:29:53,097
but you're different people
with different consciousness.

596
00:29:53,897 --> 00:29:57,017
So again, I don't
know if it's a dream.

597
00:29:57,022 --> 00:29:59,417
I don't know if it's real,
but it feels like that

598
00:29:59,417 --> 00:30:02,117
same, those same colors
that I saw when I was on

599
00:30:02,117 --> 00:30:06,377
the other side, the same
sensation, the same feeling

600
00:30:06,707 --> 00:30:07,577
when I have those dreams.

601
00:30:08,277 --> 00:30:11,037
And each time that
occurs, do you have a

602
00:30:11,037 --> 00:30:11,907
different understanding?

603
00:30:11,907 --> 00:30:14,107
Do you have a different
answer to that question?

604
00:30:14,107 --> 00:30:16,397
No, it's usually always
the same, and they're

605
00:30:16,397 --> 00:30:18,317
always different entities.

606
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:21,974
It's almost like training
time or like, oh, these

607
00:30:21,974 --> 00:30:25,404
guys are the angels in
training or something,

608
00:30:25,404 --> 00:30:29,514
and they have some questions
for you as a living thing.

609
00:30:29,514 --> 00:30:31,854
And again, I don't know
if they're angels, I don't

610
00:30:31,854 --> 00:30:34,604
know what they are, but
they're always, it's always

611
00:30:34,604 --> 00:30:37,094
like a different group
and they come and they ask

612
00:30:37,099 --> 00:30:41,354
me questions about what
it's like to be alive.

613
00:30:41,624 --> 00:30:43,414
So like this, but
the other way.

614
00:30:43,714 --> 00:30:44,104
Yeah.

615
00:30:44,104 --> 00:30:46,204
Speaking of questions,
people are probably gonna

616
00:30:46,204 --> 00:30:48,874
wanna ask you questions
after this interview.

617
00:30:49,274 --> 00:30:51,074
Do you mind people
contacting you?

618
00:30:51,124 --> 00:30:53,914
So I don't do this as a thing,
like I don't have a book or

619
00:30:53,914 --> 00:30:56,344
a website or anything, which
makes it a little tough.

620
00:30:56,734 --> 00:30:59,884
I have my email address
I can give to you.

621
00:30:59,934 --> 00:31:03,964
And if someone reaches out
and really needs to talk to

622
00:31:03,964 --> 00:31:07,024
me or has some question, I'd
be happy to talk to them.

623
00:31:07,534 --> 00:31:09,834
And if somebody's super
keen, then I'll pass them on.

624
00:31:10,284 --> 00:31:10,614
Excellent.

625
00:31:11,094 --> 00:31:14,814
Also, I love the word keen
and I wish we used it in

626
00:31:14,814 --> 00:31:16,914
the United States more, and
I've been actively trying

627
00:31:16,914 --> 00:31:20,154
to push people to use it,
so I just, it's like you.

628
00:31:20,169 --> 00:31:20,619
keen as

629
00:31:20,904 --> 00:31:22,504
Yeah great word.

630
00:31:23,304 --> 00:31:24,504
Yeah, I use it a lot.

631
00:31:24,584 --> 00:31:24,914
Okay.

632
00:31:24,964 --> 00:31:27,934
Any final message for
people who might be

633
00:31:27,934 --> 00:31:28,804
watching this Julie?

634
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,409
Just that this was what
I experienced as far

635
00:31:33,409 --> 00:31:35,959
as what I could observe
and feel and see.

636
00:31:36,349 --> 00:31:39,049
I don't know what's real
and what's not, but it

637
00:31:39,049 --> 00:31:40,429
felt very real to me.

638
00:31:40,864 --> 00:31:43,904
And I don't know, maybe
other people have different

639
00:31:43,904 --> 00:31:46,904
experiences, what you said
based on your understanding,

640
00:31:46,904 --> 00:31:48,674
they show you what you
need to see in order

641
00:31:48,679 --> 00:31:49,874
to process everything.

642
00:31:50,504 --> 00:31:53,564
Hopefully people that
have similar brains that

643
00:31:53,569 --> 00:31:57,014
work like mine might be
able to connect with this.

644
00:31:57,019 --> 00:31:59,954
But I don't think any of us
all have all the answers,

645
00:31:59,954 --> 00:32:02,434
but I can definitely share
what I experienced and

646
00:32:02,439 --> 00:32:05,479
hopefully that'll bring some
comfort to somebody else.

647
00:32:05,529 --> 00:32:08,359
Julie, thank you so much
for coming on the show.

648
00:32:08,689 --> 00:32:10,339
I've really enjoyed
this conversation.

649
00:32:10,339 --> 00:32:11,899
It's made me think
about some things that I

650
00:32:11,899 --> 00:32:14,439
hadn't realized before.

651
00:32:14,499 --> 00:32:16,869
So thank you for that and
I appreciate your time.

652
00:32:17,379 --> 00:32:17,769
That's great.

653
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:21,609
Thank you so much for being
up very early and talking

654
00:32:21,609 --> 00:32:24,069
to me or very late, or
however you wanna say it.

655
00:32:24,474 --> 00:32:25,014
Oh, you're welcome.
