Round Trip Death

Mary Grace Polnasek grew up as a mixed race military child in the Philippines.

At age 5 she became very sick and had a near death experience. During her NDE she played with other children, then was greeted by a male being full of light. She also met other beings in a place that seemed like a library. She was shown a vision of Earth and her body as it lay sick. Eventually she was also shown her future, including her husband and children.

She felt love and peace there that she had never felt before, and she wanted to stay. But she was told she needed to go back to have her family and learn what unconditional love is.

Since her NDE, Mary Grace has had other spiritual and out of body experiences. In this episode she also describes how she found this podcast and got on the show.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480
From the time that they pronounced me deaf was a good 45 minutes.

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,440
They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart, my heart had stopped.

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,120
And I could see people screaming and crying, but I didn't realize that was actually my

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,320
physical body because I was somewhere else.

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,400
The only thing that I could feel, if you could imagine, absolute love and peace, there wasn't

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
anything else to be felt.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,560
I was greeted by people I'd known in the past.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,240
I'm back home again.

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,840
Incredibly safe and felt at home.

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Welcome to Round Trip Deaths, everybody, and welcome to our very special guest in Florida,

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,000
in the U.S., Mary Grace Polnastic.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Good morning.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Good morning.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,160
How are you, Eric?

15
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:51,160
I'm great.

16
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,160
How are you?

17
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,160
I'm doing well.

18
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,160
Thank you.

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,240
It's actually really nice and we had a cold front here, so yay.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000
It feels like fall, actually.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,520
Okay, how cold is fall in Florida?

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,400
I want to say 75 to 68 degrees, depending.

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,400
For the high?

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,400
Yeah.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,760
That is Fahrenheit.

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,880
That is not bad.

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,360
And you told me earlier, one of your emails, how nervous you are.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Please don't be nervous.

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Oh, breathing.

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,840
For our listeners, Mary Grace has not shared her story publicly before.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,840
She's told a few loved ones.

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,320
And so this is going to be her first time.

33
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:38,000
So we're all going to give Grace to Mary Grace and hope that you can relax and we can just

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,520
have a nice chat this morning.

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,960
Before we do, would you mind telling us a little bit about you?

36
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:44,960
Sure.

37
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,680
Like you said, I live in the lovely Florida.

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,400
It's really nice outside right now.

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,040
I'm married, been married for this next December.

40
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,760
We'll be 12 years.

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,160
And I have two lovely children, very beautiful, smart kids.

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,800
One is in Odyssey of the Mind, which is an amazing program.

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760
And then the other one is in the Gifted Program.

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
So very proud of them for that.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,480
I'm a stay-at-home mom.

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:17,920
I'm an avid reader, so I like to read all things consciousness, metaphysics, physics,

47
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,000
anything I can get my hands on.

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,720
I love to meditate, I meditate daily, which I think has helped me in the long run with

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,320
all my myriad of traumas and symptoms from said traumas.

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,600
And I love k-dramas.

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,600
Okay.

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,600
That's sweet.

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
All right.

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,120
Mary Grace, tell me where you grew up and what led up to your near-death experience?

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Sure.

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,640
So, like I said, I was a, I don't think they call military brat any more military child.

57
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,720
I don't know the proper political wording for it.

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,000
But I grew up in the Philippines until I was seven.

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
We moved around a lot.

60
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,920
So from Philippines to Guam, from Guam to Florida for a few months, and then to Hawaii

61
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,960
and then back to Florida where I stayed.

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:19,080
In the Philippines, I didn't feel like I belonged because, you know, being half American, half

63
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Filipino, it's not really embraced in the community.

64
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,160
So...

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Can you explain that real quick?

66
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,600
Do you mind just giving us the family background on that?

67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Sure.

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Okay.

69
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:39,000
So my mom is a what do you call a hospitality girl that worked in the Naval base, which

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,560
mostly entertained like Navy personnel.

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200
And so that's what she did.

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,280
And I, she met my dad and got pregnant with me.

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,360
And I guess ruined her career for a moment.

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:00,040
I know she told me this, that she tried to get rid of me, but I guess that was unsuccessful.

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,280
She gave birth to me.

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,920
And then my grandparents ultimately started taking care of me for most of my childhood.

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,720
She was in and out of my life.

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,240
For most of my childhood.

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840
And I was just kept inside for a lot.

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,240
I didn't have any friends because I was fair skinned.

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,640
So they didn't want me to, I guess, to get burned or whatnot.

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Well, you didn't look like the other kids.

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,280
So you were kind of shunned in other words.

84
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,280
Right.

85
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,280
Correct.

86
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,280
Yeah.

87
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,280
Sorry about that.

88
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:31,960
That must be really hard when you're just a young child.

89
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,960
It really was.

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Because I would see kids out the window playing and I'm just trying to entertain myself.

91
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,000
And I didn't have very many toys or anything.

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,760
So I just, I played with what I could like deodorize.

93
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,200
Something I could find.

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:57,520
But when my mom was in and out of my life, when she was home, I just remember her constantly

95
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,400
yelling at me for, God knows what, or spanking me with slippers, wet slippers at that.

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640
So I was, I never made her happy.

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600
And I just felt like I was just there taking up space.

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,320
I wasn't, I didn't feel really loved or accepted by my family.

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,720
And then how old were you when you got real sick?

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120
I was about five years old.

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,360
I got really sick with a high fever, which even though they were Catholic, they were

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:34,040
still, they still believed in, um, outworldly, like supernatural possessions and whatnot,

103
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,960
which Catholics, I believe in possessions, but they believed in like fairies and gnomes

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,800
and stuff like that.

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,600
So I was sick with a high fever and they didn't take me to the doctors because I, as I spoke

106
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:54,880
with my mom yesterday, when they feel like you're possessed, um, they didn't take you

107
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,880
to the doctor.

108
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,520
So hang on, hang on.

109
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,680
They didn't think you were sick.

110
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,080
They thought you were possessed.

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Yes, sir.

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Yeah.

113
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,080
Why?

114
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,400
What were the symptoms?

115
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,600
I guess I was like, uh, convulsing a little bit.

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:14,040
And then of course, when I was on the brink of death, um, I heard children laughing in

117
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,720
the background.

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:24,920
So I remember going outside and, um, in my mind, I was playing with these really bright

119
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:32,160
children, you know, they were these kids, but they had these very like golden aura around

120
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,160
them.

121
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,920
But I guess in my mother and my grandmother's perspective, I just looked like I was trying

122
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,320
to catch bugs or something.

123
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Okay.

124
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,160
So they thought, I just want to make sure we're clear kind of step by step here.

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Well, they thought you were possessed so that they didn't take you to a doctor.

126
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Yes, sir.

127
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,040
I'm so sorry to hear all of this, by the way, it sounds really traumatic.

128
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,320
And you had a real high fever, which could explain some of this.

129
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Yes, sir.

130
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Okay.

131
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:07,080
And then you're in bed and is there a point where you remember starting to see things and

132
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,680
were you hallucinating or were you leaving your body and going somewhere?

133
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:19,000
I remember, um, I might have been hallucinating, um, but auditorially, I just remember the

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,320
children laughing and I wanted to go to them, so I did get up from the bed physically to

135
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,320
go outside.

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,480
It wasn't, um, my actual body or my spirit or anything.

137
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,640
I did get up physically to go outside to play with these children's children that I was

138
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,140
hearing.

139
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:42,680
And so like I said, I was trying to play tag with them, but in my mind's eye, I was playing

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,680
with them.

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,680
Um, I get it could have been hallucination, but in their, in their perspective, it looked

142
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,560
like I was just trying to catch bugs and playing with bugs or something like that.

143
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Okay.

144
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Thank you.

145
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Keep going.

146
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760
You know, like I said, in my mind's eye, I was playing with them and then all of a sudden

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,240
I just, it turned black, like blackness.

148
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,280
I guess I fell to the ground outside.

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:16,280
In my perspective, I was out of my body in this blackness and I felt just really light.

150
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:23,280
It wasn't hard to breathe anymore and you know, I was weightless and I was in no pain

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,800
and it was just really, really dark and I was just, I guess suspended animation would

152
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,040
be the word for it.

153
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:37,640
I just felt like in this vast blackness void sort of speak, it was just me.

154
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,920
And then all of a sudden I hear like a calling.

155
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:48,800
I felt it in my body and then I looked to my side and I seen this light.

156
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,960
It was very faint at first and then it kept getting closer and closer and closer and engulfed

157
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,960
me.

158
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:02,800
Then when I opened my eyes again, I was greeted with this being, but it didn't really, he

159
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,360
didn't really have a face or anything.

160
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,760
I just felt a male energy and he didn't really have a form.

161
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:16,400
It was just like a very bright B and he welcomed me.

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,760
He was like, welcome and then I just felt sorry.

163
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,200
That's okay.

164
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,640
I know it's difficult to relive and this is the beautiful part too.

165
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,120
I just felt like this.

166
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,120
I'm sorry.

167
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,560
It is overwhelming love and peace that I've never felt before.

168
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:49,320
I've always felt like I was just there and a burden and I just, I just felt it and I,

169
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,680
my little me, my inner child or whatever, I was crying as well.

170
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:54,880
I don't know why I was crying.

171
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,400
I'm like, why am I crying?

172
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:05,240
But it was just this overwhelming feeling around my body that I just couldn't ignore and it

173
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,440
was so beautiful.

174
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,600
In addition to this wonderful feeling, were you seeing anything at this point?

175
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,040
You just said it was beautiful.

176
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,680
Did you see something?

177
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:15,680
I did.

178
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:20,120
It was like a library of some sort.

179
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:26,280
The gentleman was next to me and then there were other beings like gathered around a table

180
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,480
and they were reading, look like they were reading books or something.

181
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:39,040
But they said hello to me and you can just tell that they were at peace and loving.

182
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,680
At this point, I still didn't know where I was.

183
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:51,720
I was all sorts of confused and then Miss Bing told me to follow him and I didn't really

184
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,720
question it.

185
00:10:52,720 --> 00:11:00,200
I didn't ask any questions because at five years old, I mean, it was a lot to take in.

186
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:07,280
So I followed him into this room and he pulled up a, you know, we pulled up a chair on this

187
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,280
table and he told me to sit down, which I did.

188
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,560
And he sat right next to me and in front of us was a wall.

189
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:21,320
And then he did this like little motion thing and it turned into a screen and he told me

190
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,600
he wanted to show me something.

191
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:32,800
You know, it was like a movie playing and it was earth and where my body was lying.

192
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,800
I guess it was trying to show me or make me understand that my soul was separate from

193
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,640
my body at that point.

194
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,360
But I didn't recognize myself, you know, but I just recognized my little love holding me.

195
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,880
She was like rocking me back and forth, scared and worried.

196
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,720
Like I've never seen this reaction from her before.

197
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,040
And you know, it's like, well, that's my Lola, I guess that's me.

198
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Lola is, I'm sorry for, is the Filipino word for grandmother.

199
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,160
He was just trying to calm me down.

200
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
And I said, am I dead?

201
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,720
And he said, yes.

202
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,800
And I said, I don't feel dead.

203
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,680
And I said, how did I die?

204
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,400
Because I don't feel like I'm dead.

205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,960
I feel better than I did.

206
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,880
And he just laughs and, you know, he told me that my body got too hot.

207
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,960
That's how I died.

208
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:35,200
And so I remember seeing from the screen, my mother was to my grandmother's left.

209
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,840
And then there was two shaman ladies.

210
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,960
Again, like I said, they thought I was possessed.

211
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,920
So they hired faith healers to come and get rid of whatever was possessing me.

212
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,560
I remember seeing a lot of smoke.

213
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,640
Sounds like they have your body back in the house at this point.

214
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Yes, sir.

215
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Yes, sorry.

216
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Yeah.

217
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240
And your grandmother's rocking you.

218
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,720
You know, one thing that I find really interesting here is it's unusual for you

219
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,720
to be seeing what's going on with your body from a screen.

220
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,240
I hear lots of people talking about, well, like in a hospital room,

221
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,520
they're up in the corner near the ceiling looking down.

222
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Right.

223
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,240
Or later they're looking at a screen, but that's a life review.

224
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:20,880
Right.

225
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,720
And but you're seeing what's actually happening at that point on the screen.

226
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,200
That's cool.

227
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,720
That's interesting.

228
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Yeah.

229
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,040
And it wasn't like a regular screen or anything.

230
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,240
It looked like it was just a white wall and it was hollowed out.

231
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,800
And that's what I was seeing.

232
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Like it played out on earth while I was, you know, where I was.

233
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,800
And and he told me, unfortunately, it's not your time yet.

234
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,000
You have to go back.

235
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
And I'm like, what do you mean?

236
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Go back.

237
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,880
I don't want to.

238
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,440
Sorry.

239
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,200
I didn't want to go back because I told him, I'm like, I'm not loved there.

240
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,280
I don't feel this feeling there.

241
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,520
You know, I, my mom's always mad at me.

242
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,640
I know she doesn't want me.

243
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,400
She's always mad at me and hitting me.

244
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,480
And I just want to stay here.

245
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,000
And he's like, you can't stay here.

246
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,880
And like a five year old, I was crying and throwing a tantrum, you know,

247
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240
because I really didn't want to go back.

248
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,760
But he told me I needed to go back.

249
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,400
And I kept asking why, why.

250
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,600
And he told me because of love.

251
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,240
And I was like, what love?

252
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,400
I feel like here.

253
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,480
I don't feel that there.

254
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Again, he showed me the screen.

255
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,240
I know like life review shows you your past doing so and whatnot.

256
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:45,680
But to me, what he showed me was my future and my children and then who's, you know,

257
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,000
to be my husband.

258
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,760
And he told me, I know your life is going to be really hard.

259
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,080
And you're going to go through a lot.

260
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Sorry.

261
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,720
But you will be happy eventually.

262
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,800
And your children need to be born because they're going to show you.

263
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,840
What unconditional love is in this plane so that way you know.

264
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,600
And I was like, still crying because at five years old, you're going to tell,

265
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,400
I know that it's like, can't comprehend that.

266
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:30,200
And then, and then with great reluctance, I finally said, okay,

267
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:37,480
if I meant to be there and I'm not meant to be here yet, okay, I'll go back if that's

268
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800
what I need to do.

269
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:45,320
And it wasn't like any judgment or pushy pushing us from his voice.

270
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:52,960
It was, there was like great compassion and love from what I remember.

271
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,720
He gave me a choice, but he said that in order for me to learn what unconditional love was,

272
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,120
I needed to go back.

273
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Isn't that interesting that even then you actually had a choice.

274
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,960
He told you you needed to do it, but he didn't force you to go back.

275
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,320
I love the fact that there is this, this agency, this free to choose.

276
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,320
Yeah.

277
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,760
Everything in that spiritual realm.

278
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Yeah.

279
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,160
It was, like I said, he wasn't like demanding or forceful.

280
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920
It was with great compassion.

281
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:32,960
And I think he thought showing me my future and me being happy in it eventually will push

282
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
me where I get.

283
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:43,480
And then when I agreed, he showed me the screen again and we're back to me and the Philippines.

284
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320
And then I remembered the shamans.

285
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,760
They put like a candle in a spoon and there was a bowl with the cold water underneath

286
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:59,680
the spoon and they pour the candle into the bowl, the cold water and it formed like a

287
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,000
face thing, like a face of a candle.

288
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,440
And the shamans or faith healers, I'm sorry, they're called faith healers told my Lola

289
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,120
that I needed to place the candle underneath the pillow.

290
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,680
And if it broke, then I would be fine.

291
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:24,400
And if it didn't, then whoever had possessed me has taken over completely and I was gone

292
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,900
forever.

293
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:31,320
But I was laughing because I was seeing it from the screen and I'm like, I know where

294
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,320
I'm at.

295
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,320
I'm not possessed.

296
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320
I know where I'm at.

297
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,400
And she did exactly that.

298
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,120
And then he turns and tells me, okay, it's time.

299
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,600
It's time for you to go back.

300
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880
And I didn't feel the pool like everybody else did.

301
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:57,080
I just remember blackness again and then waking up and I was fine.

302
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,760
And I guess the face broke and they thought the, you know, the possession was over.

303
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:09,120
They told my grandmother it was a old white, like an older white lady with really long

304
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:14,000
black hair who had evil intent that had a hold of me.

305
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,160
That's what they told her.

306
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Now, when you say you felt fine at that point, does that mean you were well or you just weren't

307
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,040
dead?

308
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,000
You just, sorry to laugh, or you just weren't dead anymore.

309
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,040
Did you still have a high fever?

310
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,040
What do you mean by that?

311
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Yeah, I was fine.

312
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,480
You know, my body wasn't achy anymore.

313
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,560
It didn't hurt to breathe and my mind wasn't foggy.

314
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:46,560
So I just felt like, like waking up from a sleep.

315
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,560
How interesting.

316
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Okay.

317
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,960
Do you remember what happened next?

318
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,960
Yeah.

319
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,840
So after that, I told my grandmother, because I was really, really excited to tell her about

320
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,120
all this experience and everything.

321
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:03,040
And she just said, you know, oh yeah, the shamans did their work.

322
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,200
The shamans did their work.

323
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,920
The lady had a hold of you.

324
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,560
And so she didn't really believe that I went to the other side.

325
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,560
That was that.

326
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,240
And a lot of interesting things happened afterwards.

327
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,760
Tell me some of those.

328
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Sure.

329
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:25,280
Since I was so open or had high frequency from what happened coming back, I remember we were

330
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,760
stuck in traffic.

331
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,200
A traffic in the Philippines is horrible.

332
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,680
I stuck a straw up in the air and I was like, because my mom was getting frustrated being,

333
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,600
you know, in the same place for a long time.

334
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,920
So I stuck a straw in the air.

335
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,160
I guess trying to amplify my thought or something in my five year old mind.

336
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,760
And I was like, please, please, can you please let us get home soon?

337
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,480
And then after that, like all the lights that we hit were green.

338
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,960
We didn't even hit a single red light after that.

339
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,840
It was crazy.

340
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,040
I remember going to the mall with my mom and wanting a toy.

341
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,440
And we went up the escalator and she said we didn't have any money.

342
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,760
And after we got up to the escalator, I found like a stack of cash.

343
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,360
I was like, wow, now I have enough money to buy a toy.

344
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,800
You know, that was really, really neat.

345
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:26,360
When we were moving from Philippines to Guam, when I was around seven, I remember the plane

346
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,860
ride was so turbulent.

347
00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:32,560
I was going up, down, up, down, like the lights were going on and off, on and off.

348
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,000
And I was really scared.

349
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,440
You know, sitting next to my mom and I grabbed the armrests next to me and I was, please stop,

350
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000
please stop, please stop.

351
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,200
And then all of a sudden it like just was cleared again.

352
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:54,800
And I didn't know if it was me or it was just coincidence or whatnot, but it was really,

353
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,800
really neat.

354
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,560
And over the years, you've had some other spiritual and out of body experiences.

355
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:07,640
But as long as we're talking about things that you have affected, you had told me in

356
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,920
our pre-interview about your husband's Xbox.

357
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,920
Yes.

358
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,560
Tell everybody what happened with that.

359
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:23,760
So after one of my more intense meditations, all of a sudden like the Xbox, you know,

360
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:29,160
I was sitting on the couch with my kids and there was no controller right next to us and

361
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:36,960
my husband was at the table and the Xbox turns on and then, you know, he couldn't turn it

362
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,760
off because he was like, why is it on?

363
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,720
And he was like, I don't, I'm sorry.

364
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,600
I think I might have turned it on and he couldn't turn it off.

365
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,800
He couldn't turn it off.

366
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,960
So he had to turn the switch off or the search protector off.

367
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,520
And when he turned it back on, it wouldn't turn on after that.

368
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,520
I feel that.

369
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:02,120
I mean, I turned, I have turned on his Xbox like unwillingly off and on for a while,

370
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,400
but I guess that was the last time it wanted to do that.

371
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,200
So you actually killed it.

372
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,200
Oh man.

373
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,700
He was heartbroken.

374
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:17,320
He wasn't upset so much as heartbroken because he, you know, I really can't control it.

375
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,000
Like me breaking four Android phones before the sales guy was like, you know what, try

376
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
an Apple.

377
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Okay.

378
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,840
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

379
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,320
What happened exactly with that?

380
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,840
You go cell phone shopping.

381
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Yes, sir.

382
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,360
We go, oh yes, sir.

383
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:39,440
We go cell phone shopping and we were getting the new latest Samsung Galaxy phone.

384
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Quick pause here.

385
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,600
This podcast is a labor of love produced by me and my son, Will, who's a university student.

386
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,160
The show is completely free for you, but today I'd like to ask a little favor.

387
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,160
We want to keep growing and you are the key.

388
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,200
If you'd take just a couple of seconds right now to hit the follow or subscribe button,

389
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,680
then hit the share button to send it to a friend.

390
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,320
We would really appreciate it.

391
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,280
Now back to our guest.

392
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,280
And I was particular.

393
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:14,040
I wanted a white one and the sales guy showed me, you know, was ready to purchase a white

394
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,640
one and it broke.

395
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,640
And he was like, that's weird.

396
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,720
I've never seen this happen before.

397
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,000
And he did that about three more times each time with me touching it, but like for just

398
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,560
a few seconds.

399
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,720
And he was like, I don't know.

400
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,360
Why don't you try an iPhone?

401
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,040
Cause obviously Samsung's are not agreeing with you.

402
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,560
You broke four galaxies in the space of a couple of minutes.

403
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,560
Yes, sir.

404
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Wow.

405
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Glad you didn't get the bill for that.

406
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,200
No, no, no.

407
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,200
I mean.

408
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,800
I don't have phones you don't have a problem with.

409
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,520
No, well, I don't know.

410
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,320
The other night when my husband and I were sitting down, I was looking through one of

411
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,120
his apps or something and then all of a sudden his phone did something freaky.

412
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,240
One of the apps started glitching and he's like, what's going on?

413
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,240
I've never seen it do that.

414
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,240
I'm like, I'm sorry.

415
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,560
I just was like clicking through it.

416
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,560
I don't know.

417
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:10,400
Well, and we're actually recording over your iPhone today.

418
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Oh, it's working.

419
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Of course, I'll let everybody know you're not touching it.

420
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840
No, just in case.

421
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,400
I don't want to, but I haven't had an issue with this one.

422
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,520
So we're good.

423
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,440
I try not to do as many devices.

424
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,960
My daughter just got an Oculus and I'm afraid to mess with that on her behalf.

425
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,960
All right.

426
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,320
Let's, let's go back to your childhood again.

427
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Is there anything else that you want to fill us in on before an outer body experience that

428
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,840
you had?

429
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Yeah.

430
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:49,560
So again, like I said, I grew up with a myriad of traumas with my mom, like constantly verbally

431
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,400
and physically abusing me.

432
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,800
When we were in Guam after that experience, actually she barely touched me.

433
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:03,680
So I think she in her heart, she believed what happened and she, I guess was afraid of what

434
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,200
would happen to her if, so, you know, she did something.

435
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:15,880
But when we went to Florida, my father's stepdad abused me sexually.

436
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,360
So I'm sorry.

437
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:23,680
I begged my parents originally.

438
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,760
They were, it was just supposed to be my parents and my, my mom or my mom and my dad supposed

439
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,880
to go to Hawaii by themselves.

440
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,960
So without me, and I was supposed to stay with my grandmother and him.

441
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,280
And I begged them.

442
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,680
I'm like, please, please, please let me go with you.

443
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,280
I didn't want to tell them the reason because I was told not to because it was my fault.

444
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,280
I was meant to feel ashamed for what had happened.

445
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:54,520
And you know, reluctantly, they agreed to take me with them.

446
00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:01,920
And Hawaii, it was really nice because there were other half children like myself.

447
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:09,520
But this time my dad was working at night at Pearl Farber and my mom wanted to go out partying

448
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,760
with and doing other things with her friends.

449
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,120
So I was by myself at night most of the time.

450
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,560
So that was not very pleasant.

451
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,760
I remember wanting to go over my friend's house all the time to spend the night.

452
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:29,040
Unfortunately, one time her parents had called the cops because I couldn't get into my house.

453
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,200
I forgot the key inside the house and my mom wasn't answering her phone.

454
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,120
And my dad was working.

455
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:42,040
So they had to call the cops and the cops called my dad to let me inside the house and stuff.

456
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,520
So rough growing up.

457
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,640
It didn't just change and get all better.

458
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,640
No.

459
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,800
After your experience at age five.

460
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Okay.

461
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,040
Yeah, but I knew that this would happen.

462
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:58,320
So eventually my parents ended up getting a divorce and my mom didn't really want me

463
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,680
living with her and her new boyfriend.

464
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,680
And my dad was getting deployed to Diego Garcia at the time.

465
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:13,880
So I told them that I would go there to save their feeling or I thought I would be saving

466
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,880
their feeling.

467
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,000
But really I had no choice but to go back to my grandmother and the abuser.

468
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,360
And so when she wasn't around and stuff, it would happen more.

469
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:28,880
And it was just really rough.

470
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,400
But in middle school, I had this really great friend in sixth grade who I loved and cherished

471
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,280
as a sister.

472
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,800
And I would constantly go to her house to try to escape from everything.

473
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,480
And at one point when my grandmother was taking me to her house, all of a sudden she developed

474
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,280
this really sharp pain in her head.

475
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,520
And you know, she pulled over and she's like, oh my gosh, this really bad headache.

476
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,600
And I'm like, come on, grandma, let's just go back home.

477
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,000
You know, you can lay down and I'll call my friends, parents, and have them pick me up.

478
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,880
It's no big deal.

479
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,480
And she kept apologizing to me.

480
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,960
I remember her apologizing profusely to me and I kept telling her, please don't worry

481
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,960
about it.

482
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,960
Please don't worry about it.

483
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,320
I think she knew.

484
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040
She knew what was happening.

485
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,920
And when we got to the house, she told me to call my aunt who was a nurse at the tower.

486
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,720
She's still a nurse.

487
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:26,800
And while I was on the phone, she actually had a stroke and fell face down on the floor

488
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,880
first and she was barely breathing.

489
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,520
And I was trying to calm our dog at that time down and trying to tell her everything will

490
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,640
be okay while on the phone at 13 years old.

491
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,880
It was just, it was a lot.

492
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,360
Eventually, you know, we lost my grandmother.

493
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,080
But I felt her leaving.

494
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:53,440
And I took my younger cousins to the lakefront, which was fairly close to the house.

495
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,080
And we were just walking and then all of a sudden it started raining.

496
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,080
And they were like, oh, it's raining.

497
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,080
We're going to melt.

498
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,600
You know what the silly things kids do.

499
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,600
And we started running.

500
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,600
All of a sudden I just felt this, a piece of me being taken away.

501
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,560
And then I just, I just knew that she was gone.

502
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,440
And when we came back to the house, they told us kids that, you know, she didn't make it.

503
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:31,080
So that was really hard for me because I think she was protecting me from all that.

504
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,360
And then after she had passed away, my friend stopped talking to me, this girl who I viewed

505
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,760
as a sister, because I guess she, she didn't know how to talk to me after that.

506
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,200
So I lost her as a friend too.

507
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:52,200
And then that, now that we were alone, I used to actually sleep with a knife under my water

508
00:29:52,200 --> 00:30:01,520
bed, a pillow in a water bed to make sure that I was protected, you know.

509
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:09,840
But without telling anybody what was happening, I asked my uncle if I could live with them.

510
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,520
Because my cousin and I went to the same school at the time.

511
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,080
So I asked him if I could live with them and they agreed.

512
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,440
So I lived with them for a while until my dad finally retired and got our own house.

513
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:29,120
And that was at that house that we just purchased was my, the first at a body experience that

514
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,120
I had.

515
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,120
Okay.

516
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,120
Tell us about that.

517
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Sure.

518
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:40,360
So one night it was unusually cold for Florida weather and I think it was like 40 something

519
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,520
degrees or something.

520
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:47,520
And I had this personal heater right next to, on my nightstand right next to my bed.

521
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520
And I had on full blast.

522
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,480
Because you know, growing up, mostly growing up in tropical climates, 40 something is really,

523
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,480
really cold.

524
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:03,920
I had this like thermal long johns is what it's called on under my blanket.

525
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,760
And then all of a sudden, I don't know if it was another end the ear whatnot, but I

526
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:18,760
had this very, very, very vivid dream of being inside of this iron cage and the bars were

527
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,920
really, really thick.

528
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:27,720
And on top of the cage was a chain that was letting me or, you know, putting me down closer

529
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,320
and closer inside of this like very dark cave.

530
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,400
And they were like demonic beings all around and underneath was the lava.

531
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,160
And the chain was getting me down closer and closer to said lava.

532
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,480
And I remember one of the demons beings got close to the chain, grabbed onto the bar and

533
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,200
was like laughing at me.

534
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,080
And I tried screaming, but I didn't have any voice.

535
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,120
So anything was just laughing at me.

536
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:04,400
And I was like, so scary, but trying to see if I could find myself a way out.

537
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,840
I was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cave.

538
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:14,200
I just with all of my being with all of my might, I just yelled out, even though I didn't

539
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080
have a voice, I just yelled out, Jesus.

540
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:24,000
And then all of a sudden this very bright white light came across this cave and everything

541
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,080
turned bright.

542
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,640
I was no longer inside of that cave.

543
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:35,320
And then I remember being transported into my house in front of my door, my bedroom door.

544
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,760
My door was always open.

545
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,240
And I remember just watching my body sleeping.

546
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,480
And then all of a sudden I got this feeling like I was really hot and dehydrated.

547
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,080
So I go, my gosh.

548
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440
So I told myself to wake up.

549
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,800
I couldn't wake up.

550
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,720
And then I was yelling at myself to wake up.

551
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,800
And then the last time I was like, wait, God.

552
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,880
And I finally woke up, turned off my heater and got a glass of water.

553
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,600
It was so strange just looking at my body sleeping while I was outside of my bedroom

554
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,600
door.

555
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
It was sounds like more than just a dream.

556
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,680
Yeah.

557
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,600
It felt so real, I would never forget that.

558
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:22,160
And it was like my reoccurring dream of me being younger, wearing this potato sack dress

559
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,040
and I'm in line waiting.

560
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,800
And then all of a sudden there's this box and I would have to get into the box and there

561
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,240
was a guy in uniform about to shoot me and I would always wake up before I get shot.

562
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,480
It was, there's so many things like that.

563
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,480
Did you have one other out of body experience?

564
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,480
I did.

565
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,960
How old were you then?

566
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,280
I was 28.

567
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Okay.

568
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,840
What led up to that?

569
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Sure.

570
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,320
I was having a tubal ligation, you know, no more pregnancies because my second pregnancy,

571
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,320
although she's such a blessing, was very hard on my body.

572
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,040
So I couldn't, you know, go through that again.

573
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:09,800
And so after they put me an anesthesia, I remember seeing them putting tape on my eyes.

574
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:16,160
And then I just was looking at myself from like on the ceiling, like I was on the ceiling

575
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,200
looking at myself on the table while they were operating on me.

576
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:26,840
I remember them making an incision and I remember watching the monitor and I remember the little

577
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:32,200
circular classic thing that they put over my fallopian tube.

578
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,680
They had to like pry it open with one of those machines because I guess it was the really,

579
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:43,720
really hard plastic and then they put it over my fallopian tube and I just remember them

580
00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:46,280
talking about what lunch they were going to have.

581
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,640
Out of the blue, you know, during surgery, I was like, yeah, you know, we're going to

582
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,240
have combo so she, you know, comp salad is like, okay, comp salad.

583
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:58,640
Why aren't they talking about any who I digress?

584
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,960
But yeah, after my follow up surgery six weeks later to make sure that everything went well,

585
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,240
I was talking to my surgeon and then she was like, yeah, that's so weird.

586
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:13,880
So you told her the things that you remember seeing and hearing.

587
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,880
Yeah.

588
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,400
And it kind of freaked her out a little bit.

589
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,400
It really did.

590
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Cause she was like, you're really like, you know, under anesthesia.

591
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,720
How did you, I said, I just thought everything.

592
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:26,720
I saw the monitor.

593
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:33,480
I saw the device that you used to not clamp, but like put my tubes in between and like,

594
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,760
they look like an O-ring, you know, but they use it to clamp my fallopian tubes.

595
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,480
Make sure that she was really surprised by that.

596
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,480
You do know this isn't very normal, right?

597
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,920
It's a knee.

598
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,920
I mean that in a loving way.

599
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,520
Most of us don't have these kinds of experiences.

600
00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:01,360
I wonder if, if what you, what happened to you at age five kind of made you more prone

601
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,600
to these experiences later in life.

602
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,840
What's your thoughts?

603
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,320
I believe they do.

604
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,960
I honestly do as well as meditation cause I listen to Heming St. Meditation and it's

605
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,960
in a treatment and treatment program.

606
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,720
And I think that helps me as well to get to my intuition more.

607
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:23,200
I had anxiety and depression most of my life.

608
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,240
So I was actually I'm sober over one year.

609
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,240
Yay.

610
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,240
Congratulations.

611
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:31,360
Thank you.

612
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:37,920
I was self-medicating as well as had prescription medication for, you know, anxiety and depression

613
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,760
really bad.

614
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:47,960
But I believe it really helped me cause I feel people's emotions and see behind the

615
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,880
veil sort of speak.

616
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Sometimes what they say and what they actually mean are two completely different things.

617
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,240
And I, it freaks, like they get angry with me because it freaks them out.

618
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:04,040
But so I've learned to not speak my mind on the matter.

619
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,040
Can you give us an example of when that's happened recently or any example that stands

620
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,040
out?

621
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,600
Sure.

622
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:18,360
When someone told me that they cared for me, but I knew behind their eyes there was no

623
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:23,720
like real meaning behind it kind of thing.

624
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,600
You know, I can feel people's emotions.

625
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Like one time my, we just got a brand new cat and my youngest was so scared of it.

626
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:39,360
And I felt her fear at the very bottom of my back and I felt it so intensely it hurt.

627
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,200
I see events that happen or have had happened.

628
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:50,640
Like when, when my dad called me to tell me that my abuser had killed, you know, had passed

629
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,640
away.

630
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,520
I told him, oh yeah, he shot himself in the head, didn't he?

631
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:01,000
And he's like, yeah, he was really surprised that I knew that even though I was 3000 miles

632
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,520
away, you know, visiting my mom before the trial was to go about.

633
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,400
It's just little things.

634
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,160
I'm more sensitive.

635
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,000
The other day actually I was just walking to my room and then all of a sudden like I

636
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080
felt a beat like a spirit being there.

637
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,560
I didn't see it, but I just felt it.

638
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,840
And I'm like, mm, what's your intention and see it.

639
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:29,160
That most of the beings I come across in this house has, hasn't been malevolent or had any

640
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,000
ill will towards anybody here.

641
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,680
So what emotions are you feeling for me?

642
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:42,120
Um, it's a happy, well relaxed, but very curious.

643
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,200
Sorry to put you on the spot.

644
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,840
No, you're good.

645
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:47,840
Okay.

646
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:53,440
So I think it might be interesting for some of our listeners to find out how you got on

647
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,440
this show.

648
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,440
Sure.

649
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,320
Why don't you go ahead and tell everybody, because we, we never talk about this and, and

650
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,280
there's a lot of different ways that people end up being interviewed here.

651
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,560
So how did it work for you?

652
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:12,520
I was listening to different types of podcasts prior to, um, like conch, you know, metaphysics,

653
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,520
consciousness, spirit speakers, you know, psychic teachers and all that.

654
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:23,040
And although they were very helpful in my spiritual life and awakening my spiritual self, I was

655
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:29,480
like, I still don't feel like I know what happened to me, you know, with the NDE because

656
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,240
I had forgotten about it until about 2020.

657
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:38,440
And I had that meditation past life regression meditation and all of a sudden it just came

658
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,440
up to me.

659
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,520
I was like, I've been like, Oh my gosh, I need to know what happened.

660
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,800
And then I was just researching near death experience.

661
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:53,680
I've read a few here and there online, but it never really resonated with me.

662
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:59,840
So, and I came across your show on Amazon and I'm like, I might as well give it a try.

663
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:05,400
You know, hopefully I can find something that resonates with me and what happened with me.

664
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,720
And I've been hooked ever since all of your speakers have been wonderful and you have

665
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:13,320
just a calming presence to you.

666
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,160
So you reached out and sent me an email.

667
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,600
It was a nice long one, very well written.

668
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,000
Oh, I guess that I felt confident on my end.

669
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,760
Anyway, I appreciate that.

670
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:32,760
I love when people send emails to Will and I that we can go through and pick speakers

671
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:38,040
from or pick interviews from and you're sound very sincere and interesting.

672
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,560
So, so I wanted to talk to you and I knew people would love you.

673
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,640
So what other message do you have for anybody listening out there?

674
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:56,480
That I was just told that love is the answer, you know, and we're here to experience from

675
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,760
all a lot of the books I've read.

676
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,960
We as humans just get to experience what it's like here.

677
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:12,440
And on the other side, there's really, there's just love, no judgment, just love.

678
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:21,080
And just love everyone as much as you can forgive because I've forgiven that person,

679
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:26,440
mostly for myself and just try to be the best you you can be.

680
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,800
Help out as many people as you can when you can.

681
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,920
And that love that you felt during your NDE, could you explain it to us more?

682
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Sure.

683
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,480
Try to put into words now that you've had children and things, you probably understand

684
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,400
that feeling even more than you did then.

685
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:49,720
I do, but it's so hard to describe it because the love I have with my children is never

686
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:50,720
ending.

687
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:59,120
And it's like that times, oh my gosh, infinity and phantasm all have everyone at work.

688
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,280
You're just like engulfed in it once you get there.

689
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:09,800
It's this freedom of no judgment and you're just love for who you are.

690
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,760
You don't have to be anybody else other than who you are.

691
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,720
You're just loved.

692
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:20,040
It's like somebody said a thousand grandmas hugging you at the same time.

693
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,560
It's just, it engulfs your being and it's really, really beautiful.

694
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,560
How do we show more of that to people around us?

695
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,760
Just accept people for who they are regardless of how they are.

696
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:38,120
Just, you know, don't expect anything out of them and don't try to change them.

697
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,440
Just accept them and love them.

698
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:48,120
And did this experience leave you with less fear of death than a normal person would have?

699
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,120
Absolutely.

700
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,280
Actually, I wanted to go back.

701
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,040
That's embarrassing to say.

702
00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:01,640
I remember trying to alleviate my depression with taking golden teachers and it, which

703
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:07,560
is a silence I've been and getting in the tub and wanting to go back home.

704
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,240
I just wanted to go back home because I don't feel like home here.

705
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:16,880
I mean, I feel with my family home, but I miss that feeling of home.

706
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:23,280
It's kind of like, it's unfair because I love my family here, but there's no feeling like

707
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,960
the home that you experience on the other side.

708
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,840
If that makes sense.

709
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:28,840
Yeah.

710
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,520
And that guide that you had there, he said you will be happy eventually.

711
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,520
Has that happened?

712
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Yes.

713
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,120
I'm very happy with my husband and my two children.

714
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:45,560
They mean so very much to me more than anything.

715
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,520
And getting to tell them I love them a hundred times a day, even though they get annoyed

716
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,520
with me is the highlight of my day.

717
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,720
I get to hug that.

718
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:57,160
Well, my love, I'm my 12 year old, not so much anymore.

719
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,920
She doesn't like being touched anymore, but my, at least I get to, you know, cuddle and

720
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:08,040
hug on my eight year old as much as I can, so, which is close to the feeling as you can

721
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,040
get here.

722
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Well, as a parent who has had teenagers go through those years, I understand and it doesn't

723
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:17,520
last forever.

724
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Okay.

725
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,240
You'll hopefully have a cuddler again one of these days.

726
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:25,960
Anyway, Mary Grace, thanks so much for being with us today.

727
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:26,960
Thank you, Eric.

728
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,720
I hope, you know, it helps somebody.

729
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:33,720
And how do you feel now that you've had a chance to share it?

730
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,320
A little shaken, but I feel good.

731
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,120
I hope it can confuse a lot of too much.

732
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:45,600
You guys too much, but, you know, I'm very appreciative for you and this wonderful podcast

733
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:52,000
to help me share my story because even though I may be seeing, seeing crazy as some, you

734
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,840
know, at least it's, it's my experience and I was able to share it.

735
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,840
Thank you.

736
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,840
Well, I hope it's helped you.

737
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,440
I know it's helped other people.

738
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,880
Thanks again.

739
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,520
Thanks to you for listening and remember to follow and share this podcast.

740
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:39,360
Until then, I wish you everything good that you're looking for in this life and the next.
