00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,400
From the time that they pronounced me deaf was a good 45 minutes.
2
00:00:08,400 --> 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 --> 00:00:32,520
I was greeted by people I'd known in the past.
8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,160
I'm back home again.
9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,560
Incredibly safe and felt at home.
10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,760
Welcome to Round Trip Death, everybody.
11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,200
And welcome to our special guest today, Carlos Vivas.
12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,520
Good morning, how are you?
13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,600
Good morning, Eric.
14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,360
I'm glad to be here with all of you in your program.
15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,240
So let's do it.
16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,840
All right.
17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Well, thank you.
18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,720
I'd like our listeners to be able to get to know you just a little bit.
19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Tell us something about you.
20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Okay.
21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Well, my name is Carlos Vivas.
22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,080
I'm from Caracas, Venezuela.
23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,040
I moved to the States more than 25 years ago.
24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,400
I was raised in a Catholic family.
25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,840
My mom was an interior designer.
26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120
My dad used to work with a petroleum company.
27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,280
And we have a really nice life back home.
28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,800
Then when my mother died, that's when I moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,320
Since then, I've just been working.
30
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:34,320
And just after this experience, my spiritual life has started to grow.
31
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,040
And it's been an amazing life, beautiful life.
32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,040
That is awesome.
33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,240
And I know that you do a lot of good out there right now.
34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,960
And we'll get into some of that later on too.
35
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:51,080
But I just wanted to give sort of a brief tease to what people are going to hear today
36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,200
with your story.
37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,720
This is the feel good story of the week.
38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,480
People are going to love this.
39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:06,880
We often hear stories of kind of horrible, terrifying deaths and, you know, months and
40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,760
months of recovery, painful and all kinds of things like that.
41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Yours is absolutely beautiful.
42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,080
Some people are going to have a hard time believing it because it's so beautiful.
43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,560
We'll talk about that when we get there anyway with no further ado.
44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,320
Let's jump right in.
45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,480
Your near death experience was in 2015, but you had had an experience with a miraculous
46
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600
recovery earlier in life.
47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,240
What would you mind telling us about that first?
48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Sure.
49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,280
So when I was 14 years old, I was diagnosed with a terminal cancer, was leukemia.
50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,400
We visit more than 10 doctors and nobody will tell us to my mom, my dad and me what I had
51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:58,080
until the last option was to visit this doctor that was a really good doctor on blood.
52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,040
He's got an amatologist.
53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,840
And then when we went with him, he took a lot of tests on me.
54
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,120
He run a lot of tests.
55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,960
And then he came and said, after our first testing, he called my mom and dad and said,
56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040
I'm sorry, I have a bad news to give you guys.
57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Carlos and he looked at me, my mom, my dad were sitting in front of the doctor on his
58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,040
office.
59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,080
He said, I'm sorry, but you have three months.
60
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,320
And I was like, three months, three months for what?
61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,320
So you have three months to leave your terminal.
62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000
So my mom started crying.
63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,120
My dad started crying.
64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,120
I felt shocked.
65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,720
But in that moment, for the first time in my life, I heard a voice inside of me that
66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440
said that he don't have the last word I had.
67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,040
I was like, what is that?
68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Of course, I was raised in the 80s.
69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,920
And you know, the parents were more strict.
70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,120
And I didn't want to say anything to my mom because I know she's going to slap me on my
71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,480
face thinking that I'm making fun of this.
72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,280
You know, I didn't want to make fun of this.
73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,200
So I just preferred to didn't say anything and keep quiet.
74
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,840
After my mom cried with the doctor and begging for some relief, something to do with me.
75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,980
The doctor gave her two options to help me.
76
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:15,560
So the number one option was traveling to Houston, Texas to do a bone marrow transplant.
77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000
And my mother asked the doctor, like, is that good?
78
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Like, what is the probability that he's going to survive?
79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,760
And the doctor said, well, that's one of the best things that we can do.
80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,960
You know, it's like 50-50 chance.
81
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
And we don't know, but it's the best.
82
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,960
And my mom said, how much is going to cost?
83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,840
And the doctor said, you have insurance.
84
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:36,400
And that's the only idea, I have insurance.
85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,640
And the doctor said, well, you're going to have to sell your car, you're going to have
86
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,880
to sell your cars.
87
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,560
And maybe we can do the surgery.
88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,080
And my mom said, OK, if I sell everything, will you save my son 100% or the doctor said,
89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,400
no, I can't tell you that, you know?
90
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,640
And then the doctor looked, wait a minute, I have another option.
91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,280
The second option is traveling to France and get this formula that I'm working with
92
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,280
another doctors.
93
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,120
It's going to help the bone marrow to start working again.
94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,120
We don't know.
95
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,760
We're going to be studying right now.
96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,080
But at least you're doing something.
97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,080
So my mom said, you know what?
98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,800
I work at the Air Force.
99
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,960
I can speak with one of my bosses or somebody that's going to France to get this formula.
100
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,240
And that's what she took at the end.
101
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,360
She went to her work.
102
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,360
She spoke with her boss.
103
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,360
They went to France.
104
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,400
They took the formula, brought it.
105
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,120
I start taking the treatment.
106
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,720
And after the first month, I go to the doctor's office.
107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,520
He grunt at me again.
108
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,240
And he said to my mom, I'm sorry, the formula is not working in your son.
109
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,160
And then my mom started crying again.
110
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,880
The doctor said, look, hold on, let's wait until the whole treatment and it's three months.
111
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,960
So at the end of three months, we go back to the doctor.
112
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000
And the doctor said, no, it's not working.
113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,320
It's still not working.
114
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,640
So my mom, we go back home.
115
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,440
My mom feel horrible.
116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,440
My dad feel horrible.
117
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,640
I feel even worse because I said to God, like, what I have done to deserve this, you know?
118
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,520
I'm just a good kid.
119
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,640
And then one day, my mom was working.
120
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,640
My dad was working.
121
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
I was by myself at home.
122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,920
I went on my knees and I asked God, like, God, if you're really excessive, you're really
123
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,680
here with me and you can hear me, let's do a deal right here.
124
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,120
If you save me with this cancer, I'm going to tell the whole world that you're real because
125
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,040
I'm going to be a living proof that you exist.
126
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,920
And I said, in that moment, I start feeling keto over my body.
127
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,480
And I said, this is it.
128
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440
And I started making me solicitations.
129
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,040
All these came to my mind, like imagine myself in the future buying a house, getting a good
130
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,120
job, graduating at the university and all these.
131
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,200
So little by little, every day I was giving thanks God, thanks God for my healing.
132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,240
I was feeling amazing.
133
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,960
And after days after that, the doctors say, okay, what I'm going to do, the final test
134
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,960
is the CT scan.
135
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,960
So we go there.
136
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,480
He did the CT scan.
137
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,800
When I get out of the CT scan, the results came blank.
138
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,400
My cancer disappeared.
139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,600
So my mom was super happy.
140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,720
It's like, oh my God, doctor, this is a miracle.
141
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,720
This is a miracle.
142
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,440
And the doctor said, no, ma'am, this is not a miracle.
143
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,760
This is called remission.
144
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Remission is when the cancer disappeared and this come back more aggressive.
145
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,320
I'm like, no, it's a miracle.
146
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,680
And that moment I heard like the voice again inside of me, this will never happen again.
147
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,720
I was like, okay.
148
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,240
And that was it for me on that story.
149
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,440
And remember, I promised to God that I'm going to say this to the whole world, but I was
150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,440
14 years old.
151
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Who ain't going to be telling this?
152
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800
You know what cracks me up?
153
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,760
How often do we think we're in a position that we can create some kind of a bargain with
154
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,760
God?
155
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Right?
156
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,840
I'm going to negotiate.
157
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,520
If I do this, well, you do that.
158
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,160
I mean, who do we think we are?
159
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,040
And it doesn't always work.
160
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,040
I don't know.
161
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,360
I have a lot of faith in that moment.
162
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400
So maybe that helped me.
163
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Absolutely.
164
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,320
I guess on the Bible said, you know, like ask and you shall receive.
165
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,440
And I believe after a lot of experience that I had, we have free will on earth.
166
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,760
So if you don't open your mouth and you don't ask, nothing's going to get done given to
167
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,240
you because it's your life and you decide what's going to happen to you.
168
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,280
If you ask for help as the name of a book, help from heaven, maybe you will receive the
169
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,280
help.
170
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,160
But if you don't say anything, it's like you're taking it with you, you know?
171
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,560
So that's what it lead me to my second story.
172
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:42,200
You want me to tell you a second story?
173
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Yeah.
174
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,680
Let's go ahead and fast forward now to 2015.
175
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:50,720
Tell us where you were and what you were doing that particular day.
176
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Okay.
177
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,800
So in 2015, I'm going to tell you a little quick.
178
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,240
I wake up in the morning in my house, I go to the living room.
179
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,560
It was a sunny day Saturday and I, when I turned the TV on, it was the news and the
180
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:11,440
word going through some guy that entered into a school and he started fighting against
181
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,440
some kids.
182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,160
So I feel bad in that moment.
183
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,120
And I said, really God, really?
184
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,480
Why these innocent kids have to die, you know?
185
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,920
Like I'm done with this.
186
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,840
So I turn off the TV off and I said, I'm done.
187
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,600
I mean, if you don't explain me right now, why did this is going on?
188
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,440
I don't want to believe in you anymore, you know?
189
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,080
Because this is not fair.
190
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,440
And in that moment, my phone rings, my solar phone.
191
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,440
So I grabbed my phone.
192
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,280
It was one of my best friend Jorge.
193
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,560
I said, Carlos, what are you doing the next week?
194
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:39,760
It's going to be Memorial Day.
195
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,840
And I said, nothing next week.
196
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,400
And no, I don't have anything planned right now.
197
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,200
I said, okay, because my family is coming to, is going to Panama City Beach.
198
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,040
I said, okay, let's do it.
199
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,040
I go.
200
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:58,360
So we travel the next week to Panama City and on the way there, a lot of stuff's happening.
201
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,560
Like, we have a lot of traffic and then we have accidents on the way.
202
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,360
The weather was changing.
203
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,760
For me, right now, that was red flags telling me, don't go.
204
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,480
But at the end, listen, red flags, because I wasn't superstitious on stuff.
205
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,400
Right now, after all the experience, like the first red flag, I'm out.
206
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,280
I listen, you know?
207
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,920
After we passed all these red flags, we arrived to Panama City.
208
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,920
We went to the first beach.
209
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,920
It was packed.
210
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,920
Second beach was packed.
211
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,920
Third one was packed.
212
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,200
And I said to my friend, you know what?
213
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Let's go to a park.
214
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,600
It's called San Andres State Park.
215
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,840
And they have a marina there.
216
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,840
We can go to an island called Shell Island.
217
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,600
I don't think people want us to pay to go there.
218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,000
You know, if they have their whole family, they're going to have to pay for their whole
219
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
family.
220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,840
Anyways, we went to this national park.
221
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,480
We paid $8 to get in there.
222
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,840
We paid $20 to get the boat to go to the island.
223
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,400
When we arrived to the island, the bayside was full.
224
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,040
So my friend, Carlos is full too.
225
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,400
I said, like, no, no, no.
226
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,400
You know what?
227
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,760
Let's go to the back side of the island.
228
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,840
So we walked to the back side of the island.
229
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,840
We were walking.
230
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,680
There was a guy with five kids.
231
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:09,520
And he asked me because I was walking first, excuse me, sir, where are you going?
232
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,520
What do you think you're going?
233
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,000
So I'm going to the other side.
234
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I said, like, why?
235
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,120
And you see everybody's here because this is the bayside.
236
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,520
It's the most safe place.
237
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,520
I said, yes, sir.
238
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,520
Everybody's back.
239
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,920
I want to hear the ocean.
240
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,040
I want to feel the tranquility of the day.
241
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,000
You know, I said, well, be careful.
242
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,640
So that was another red flag, but I didn't listen to it.
243
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,400
So I went to the other side.
244
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,320
And then my friends and me, we opened a canopy.
245
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,520
There was nobody there.
246
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,920
And we start opening the canopy.
247
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,920
And the wind is blowing.
248
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,600
The canopy opens like a parachute.
249
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,800
And for 45 minutes, we're fighting to put this canopy down.
250
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,120
That was another red flag.
251
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,040
And then after 45 minutes, we find some rocks and put it in every corner.
252
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,960
As soon as we did that, we pulled the chairs, re-installed food, some drinks, some music.
253
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,320
And we stayed up there from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
254
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Around 4 p.m., my friends said, Carlos, we're going to walk around the island because the
255
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,000
last boat leave at 5.30.
256
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,040
I said, OK, guys, you'll be here in one hour, around 5, because we need to pick up all these
257
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,200
and go back to get the boat back to Bannasini.
258
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,920
Give me an idea of how big this island is when you talk about walking around the backside.
259
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,880
I believe it could be like 30 minutes.
260
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,880
I think 30 minutes walking in a circle.
261
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,560
So maybe a mile all the way around or something like that.
262
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:26,560
Yeah, maybe.
263
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:31,800
I mean, I don't know how big it is, but yeah, maybe a mile.
264
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,200
So it's a pretty small island.
265
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,200
OK.
266
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,400
But you go around the backside.
267
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,440
There's no people.
268
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Then your friends go for a walk.
269
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,680
So you're completely alone on this beach, right?
270
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:42,680
Yeah.
271
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,680
Great time to jump in the water.
272
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:46,680
And then it's...
273
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:47,680
Sorry.
274
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:49,280
A little sarcasm this morning.
275
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,480
No, no, your fight is true.
276
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Yeah, never swim alone, children.
277
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,080
OK, go ahead.
278
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,080
You're right.
279
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,040
So that was a huge mistake of mine.
280
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,360
What happened was it was getting hot because the sun was very spicy, was very hot.
281
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,680
So I said, I don't know what, I'm just going to jump into the water.
282
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,160
I'm going to swim a little bit.
283
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,600
The ocean was looking good.
284
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,640
Nothing weird was in the water.
285
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,880
So I jump into the water, I start swimming, and out of the sudden, this whirlpool under
286
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
the water started taking me in.
287
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,960
So if people watched the movie Finding Nemo, you can see what is an Australian curry.
288
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,400
It's like a tunnel under the water that pulled you out far, far away.
289
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,480
I was caught in this.
290
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,440
I didn't know if the name was Riptide.
291
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,000
So for me, it was a whirlpool.
292
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,760
So it grabbed me and throw me far, far away.
293
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,880
When this stopped, I pulled my head out of the water and I was half a mile away from
294
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,120
the water, like, what, how I get here?
295
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,560
You know, I said, okay, I just need to swim back.
296
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:45,800
I cannot panic right now.
297
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,800
So let me start swimming.
298
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,280
So I started swimming, swimming, swimming.
299
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,040
And when I pulled my head out of the water, I was far, even farther.
300
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,520
I was like, what?
301
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,120
It was like, I wasn't moving at all.
302
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,680
So let's explain real quick.
303
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:00,760
For those that haven't spent much time in the ocean.
304
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,400
So a rip current is a place where the current actually comes along the shore and then it
305
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,960
funnels straight out to sea.
306
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,200
And if you're in this rip current, they're just too strong.
307
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,640
You can't, you know, you can be a really strong swimmer head straight for shore and you're
308
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,200
either staying in one place or going backwards, going further out to sea.
309
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Now there is a way around that, but that wasn't something that you knew and it's really easy
310
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,840
to panic.
311
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,440
How far would you say you were offshore?
312
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,560
A couple hundred yards?
313
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,800
I mean, the island was very small from where I was seeing.
314
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,320
So I couldn't believe I was that far.
315
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,320
You know, I heard stories that people go extremely far, but he's in seconds.
316
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,560
He happens super fast, you know.
317
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,120
And yeah, when you see, you just want to go back where you were, you know, so you're trying
318
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,120
to fight.
319
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,480
And me, I never heard in my life about rip ties, so I didn't know where a rip tie was
320
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,120
or what to do.
321
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,120
And I panicked.
322
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,280
You know, I was trying to swim even faster, but the, the whirlpool, it was taking me even
323
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,120
deeper into the ocean.
324
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,200
And after 20, 25 minutes, I was fighting and fighting and fighting.
325
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,320
I started getting completely debilitated and I said, you know what, this is it.
326
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,320
This is perfect.
327
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,160
It's going to be almost 5 p.m.
328
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,880
The last boat leave at 5 30.
329
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,880
Nobody's watching.
330
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,400
Everybody's gone from here.
331
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,080
The last boat is going to leave in 30 minutes out of here until tomorrow.
332
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,280
So yeah, this is it.
333
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,880
So you just resigned yourself.
334
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,880
I'm done.
335
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Yeah, I'm done because I tried.
336
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,720
I can't get to shore.
337
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,480
There's no one here to help me.
338
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,480
I'm done.
339
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,480
I'm done.
340
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Adios.
341
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Adios.
342
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,920
And in that moment, I said, well, before I die, I just want to say something to God.
343
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,800
So in that moment, I said, God, I never thought in a million years that today's going to be
344
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,320
my last day.
345
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,400
But if you want to take me and ready all before you take me, I just want to say thank you.
346
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,320
I want to say thank you for my mom, my dad, my brothers, my sisters.
347
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,920
Thank you for everything you gave me.
348
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,440
And I'm sorry if I did something wrong.
349
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,520
And in that moment behind me, I heard a voice that said, ask for help.
350
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,520
I was like, what?
351
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,520
I thought, what's my imagination?
352
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,520
I look everywhere.
353
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,520
I didn't see anybody.
354
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,960
I said, oh my God, this is my mind.
355
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,680
And then trying to swim a little bit more.
356
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200
And then I heard again, ask for help.
357
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,560
And I was like, are you kidding me?
358
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,560
Could you please help me?
359
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,560
What are you doing?
360
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,560
Like you see I'm drowning here.
361
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,560
Nothing.
362
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,560
Just the water and the wind.
363
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,200
I tried to swim back again.
364
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,920
And then I heard, I told you to ask for help.
365
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,760
And I was like, oh my God, that I never going to make it.
366
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Don't you see the distance?
367
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,920
It's too far.
368
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,720
I said, OK, I'll do it.
369
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,480
So I started screaming, help, help, help.
370
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,960
As soon as I started getting help, help, help.
371
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,920
One of my friends that was in the group going around the island, he felt something was wrong.
372
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,240
His name is Enrique.
373
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,440
So he went back to the tent.
374
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,440
He didn't saw me there.
375
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,440
He went to the beach.
376
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,440
He didn't saw me in the beach.
377
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,280
He started walking around looking for me until he saw a hill.
378
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,360
He went to the top of the hill or rocks.
379
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,360
He saw me from the hill.
380
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,640
He started jumping Carlos, Carlos, here.
381
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,640
I'm going to call 911.
382
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Hold on, hold on.
383
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,280
But he didn't call 911.
384
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,360
He went back to the tent.
385
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:14,960
He grabbed some tubing because he was so nervous.
386
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,640
And he went to the top and he started dropping the tubings.
387
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,240
But like I said, I was, I don't know.
388
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Half a mile away.
389
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,920
And then the tubing was flying back to him.
390
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,120
I was like, oh my God, oh my God.
391
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:30,080
So he get down off the hill and he run to the other side of the island and he bring
392
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:36,760
people, 15, 20 people from the other side, from the hill, six guys jump and everybody
393
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,000
was swimming my way.
394
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,280
And when I see that, I say, oh my God, thank you, God.
395
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,280
They're going to save me.
396
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Thank you.
397
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,280
Well, guess what?
398
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,000
10 minutes pass and nobody can reach me because the ocean is taking me.
399
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,440
And then when I see everybody coming like 10 minutes later, everybody starts turning
400
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,440
around.
401
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,440
I was like, what are they doing?
402
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,600
They're going to leave me here.
403
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,840
And then I heard a thunder behind me, room.
404
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,240
And then I look back and the sky was getting dark and a big thunderstorm was coming.
405
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,800
And I said, okay, this is it.
406
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,240
So when everybody turned around and left me and I see this thunderstorm coming, I say,
407
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,240
God, you know what?
408
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,240
I just going to surrender.
409
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,880
I don't want to fight anymore.
410
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,880
You know?
411
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,800
I mean, just do what did you have to do?
412
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,760
And I'm ready, you know?
413
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:24,280
And in that moment, a huge wave came and crushed me all the way into the ocean.
414
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,800
So when I was under the water, I open my eyes and I see a black shadow coming my way.
415
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,080
So I thought it was a chart.
416
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,040
So I covered my face.
417
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,280
And when I covered my face, this thing grabbed me by my stomach and pushed me all the way
418
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,960
up.
419
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,320
And I was like, what?
420
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,640
So when I get out, I handle this thing that it was huge.
421
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,640
Guess what it was?
422
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,920
It was a huge gray dolphin.
423
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,520
I started crying because I couldn't believe this animal saved my life, you know?
424
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,280
So I grabbed the dolphin by the tail by the thing and just crying there, you know, like
425
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,280
a baby.
426
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,720
And he was just looking at me.
427
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,320
I was looking at him and looking in his eyes and was like, how do you know?
428
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,320
How do you save me?
429
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,760
Like, why do you save me?
430
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,120
You know, like, he was just looking at me.
431
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,200
He didn't move nothing.
432
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,800
He was just floating right there.
433
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,400
10 minutes later, a feature of a boat show up in front of me and he said, son, I can't
434
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,760
save you, but he was like 20, 25 feet away from me.
435
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:26,680
He said, I cannot get close to you because the wave from the thunderstorms are so big
436
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,080
I'm going to hit you with my boat.
437
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,040
I'm going to throw you a rope and then you grab it and come here.
438
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,040
So I grab it.
439
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,040
I start going to the boat.
440
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,520
The dolphin is still next to me.
441
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,920
And when I get to the boat, I get something like, as soon as I get something there, the
442
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,920
guy says, where are you doing?
443
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,920
Where are you doing?
444
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:43,920
You need to get in now.
445
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,920
I was like, sorry, can you please let me breathe?
446
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,840
I'm being here for like 30 minutes, 40 minutes.
447
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,840
I'm super tired.
448
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,520
I said, I know you don't understand my body sinking.
449
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,080
I said, your body sinking.
450
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,080
What are you talking about?
451
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,760
I said, yeah, I have a pump and the pump is stopped and all the water from the waves
452
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,760
that are getting inside.
453
00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,760
So it's getting further.
454
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,480
I need to hurry up.
455
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,720
Go to the bag and jump in.
456
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,200
You have any questions?
457
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,600
All right.
458
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,600
Slow down a second.
459
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,880
This is going too fast for me.
460
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,880
Okay.
461
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,880
Okay.
462
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,840
The wave comes, you go underwater.
463
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:21,760
How far, can you take a guess how far underwater were you when the dolphin came and started
464
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,160
pushing you up?
465
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,120
I really don't know because I mean, I couldn't touch the bottom of the ocean at that point.
466
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:31,640
I was super far away into the ocean, you know?
467
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,080
And I cannot tell you the metrics.
468
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,080
That's okay.
469
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,160
I was just curious if you had a feel for it.
470
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,720
You know, a big gray dolphin comes and pushes you to the surface.
471
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,360
Now, I think this is spectacular.
472
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:49,800
And unfortunately, there are a few people that are going to say, oh, come on.
473
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,040
I grew up watching flipper.
474
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,760
That's what happened, but that was make believe.
475
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,960
Did dolphins really do this?
476
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,280
Please explain more.
477
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,800
I want to believe.
478
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:07,400
I do believe you, but for the skeptics, explain more.
479
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,360
Well, for the skeptic, I cannot do anything.
480
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,120
You know, this is my story.
481
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:12,560
And I just telling what happened to me.
482
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,000
I'm not the only person that's been saved by dolphins around the world.
483
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,240
If you Google how many people have been saved by dolphins, hundreds of people have been
484
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,480
saving by dolphins through history.
485
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,480
Why they do that?
486
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,040
I don't have the answer for that.
487
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,440
I never spoke with a dolphin.
488
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:35,520
But they have certain likeness for humans, you know, and they do this in Australia, in
489
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,680
London, I mean, so many places in Cuba.
490
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:44,520
There's so many stories of dolphins having people that I've never heard this before.
491
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,600
What was happening to me?
492
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,600
I don't know.
493
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,600
You know?
494
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,720
It's so cool and it's amazing.
495
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,640
So the dolphin pushes you to the surface.
496
00:21:53,640 --> 00:22:00,520
And then you're hanging onto it like a flotation kind of thing until the boat comes.
497
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,520
Okay.
498
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,480
That's really cool.
499
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,720
How big would you say this dolphin was?
500
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,720
It was huge.
501
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,280
It was really big.
502
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,040
I don't know the metrics of the dolphin, but it was big.
503
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,200
It was really big.
504
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,520
All right.
505
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,560
So now it's time to get in your rescue boat and the boat is sinking.
506
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,560
Sorry.
507
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,160
This is not funny.
508
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,760
But it's a comedy of errors kind of a thing too.
509
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Okay.
510
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,760
I know.
511
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,360
So I jump into the boat and the guys and I come out and sit down right here.
512
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:34,160
So I see the water and everyone on the boat and I said, sir, do you have any bucket?
513
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,080
I help you to get the water off the boat.
514
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,760
The water was like this inside of the boat.
515
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,560
So I get scared, you know?
516
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,920
I said, like, we don't have time for that.
517
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,920
We need to get out of here.
518
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,080
Come on, sit down next to me.
519
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,520
So I sit down next to him.
520
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,320
He put a towel over me and she started driving around the island.
521
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,280
So then he asked me, like, are you okay?
522
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,280
What happened to you?
523
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,480
So I said, sir, I just went to swim a little bit and this current came under the water
524
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,640
and drove me all the way here and I couldn't get out.
525
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,640
I said, but you're fine.
526
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,640
He said, yeah, I'm fine.
527
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,320
I said, okay, where is your family and friends?
528
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,960
Everybody's there on the island.
529
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,960
And nobody saw you.
530
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,200
So like, well, they were trying to rescue him, but nobody could, you know?
531
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,960
And then he asked me, let me ask you a question.
532
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,960
Where are you from?
533
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:13,960
I said, I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.
534
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,080
And he said, I'm from Atlanta, Georgia too.
535
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,680
I said, what part of Atlanta, Georgia?
536
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,840
I'm from Duluth and I said, I'm from North Cross.
537
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Duluth and North Cross is in front of each other.
538
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,720
So we're like neighbors.
539
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,720
I was like, what?
540
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,720
We live in the same area.
541
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,160
And that was all, you know?
542
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,720
And then he started, oh my God, as soon as I said that, he said, oh my God, look behind
543
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,720
you, look behind.
544
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,720
I said, what are you talking about?
545
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,120
And when I looked behind me, the dolphin was jumping and following the boat all the way
546
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:41,120
around the island.
547
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:47,640
And when we get to the bay side of the island, the guy said, okay, rather, uh, go to the
548
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,360
bay side of the island, go to the bay side of the island.
549
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:52,360
And I said, God bless you.
550
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,360
And I said, sir, thank you for saving my life.
551
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,360
I gave her a hug.
552
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:57,360
I said, okay, I need to fix my boat.
553
00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:59,360
So I need to get out of here very quick.
554
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:03,760
But you can walk from here because the levels of the water is a little low.
555
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,760
So you can walk all the way to the shore.
556
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,760
So, okay.
557
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:07,760
So he left me there.
558
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:08,760
He left.
559
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,760
I started walking to the shore and then something hit my leg.
560
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,760
And when I looked back, the dolphin was weak.
561
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,840
And the dolphin go from there all the way to the shore.
562
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,280
And when I get to the shore, I was completely broken to myself.
563
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,360
I was like, okay, God, this is it for me.
564
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:27,640
If you save my life with this dolphin right here, it's because you have a purpose for
565
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,640
my life.
566
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,440
I don't know what do you want from me, but I'm going to tell you something from today.
567
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,080
Carlos died into the ocean.
568
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080
The person who's coming out of the water is going to be you.
569
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:43,000
I want you to go through me and do anything you want through me, you know.
570
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000
But it's your life.
571
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I give you my life.
572
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000
I give you my soul.
573
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,800
And in that moment, it started raining, lightning, and the dolphin live in that moment.
574
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,200
After that happened, people come from the other side of the island.
575
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,520
Everybody started hugging me.
576
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Everybody started crying.
577
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,760
The people, the management, the guys from the boat, take me back to San Andres State
578
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Park.
579
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,800
When we get to the state park, they take me to the administration office.
580
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,800
Everybody asked me, like, what happened?
581
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,240
I said, what happened is like, there was no life savers there.
582
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,720
It wasn't all like a red flag.
583
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,880
I didn't know what a rift I was.
584
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,920
There were no signs that it wasn't a rift I was.
585
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,840
I didn't know what it was.
586
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,840
So if you can do that, put it on that island, that's going to help more people, you know.
587
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,720
And then, well, they apologized and all that.
588
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,560
And then my friends and the people that came from the beach and said, what are we going
589
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,560
to do now?
590
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,800
I was like, let's go to a church.
591
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,040
I said, because this was a miracle.
592
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,220
So I just want to say thank you to God for what he did.
593
00:25:39,220 --> 00:25:42,400
So we drove out of the San Andres State Park.
594
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:50,080
People come behind and other cars and we see this Catholic church and we stopped there.
595
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,560
Everybody came out of the cars.
596
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,880
We tried to get inside the church.
597
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,920
The church was closed, but outside was a garden with like a little chapel.
598
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080
And the chapel was like a cave.
599
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,280
The cave was Virgin Mary, Virgin Fatima with the three kids right there.
600
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,560
Everybody said, OK, let's do a circle and let's hug each other and let's pray.
601
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,800
So we prayed for like 10, 20 minutes.
602
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600
And after that, my friends said, OK, Carlos, what do you want to do now?
603
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,600
I said, I just want to go back to the hotel and get something to go to sleep.
604
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,440
And I said, OK, so take me back to the hotel.
605
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,280
I ate something to the shower.
606
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,760
And as soon as I went to bed, put my head on my pillow and that's what I have in a
607
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,760
pythony.
608
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,400
So for our listeners who know what near-death experiences are, because we talk about them
609
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:42,040
on here all the time, we haven't had one yet in this story.
610
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:47,840
OK, so take a breath, everybody, because this story isn't over.
611
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,240
This is just getting better.
612
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,320
Just a quick break here to give a shout out to our new sponsor, Smart Labels.
613
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,800
With a new year, I'm sure many of you are like me with a resolution to get more organized.
614
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,040
That's where Smart Labels comes in.
615
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:09,400
With Smart Labels, you buy their QR code labels on Amazon, put a label on a storage bin, and
616
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,240
then scan it with their app.
617
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Catalog everything that's going into the bin and let your future self know where everything
618
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,040
is.
619
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,680
When you need something next year, search for it in the app and it'll tell you exactly
620
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,120
where it is.
621
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:27,600
Seriously, people describe this as organizing magic.
622
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,120
Click over to Amazon right now and get your Smart Labels.
623
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:33,360
Now, back to the interview.
624
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:38,080
Yeah, there's several kinds of near-death experience.
625
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,000
It's called near-death because you don't die, you're close to die.
626
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,440
And remember, that's what happened to me.
627
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,000
If that boat doesn't show up, if the dolphin doesn't show up, it's a near-death.
628
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:55,480
A near-death is a transformative event that changes the course of the person that is involved
629
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,840
on this near-death experience.
630
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:04,520
So most of the near-deaths happen on hospitals when people get the anesthesia and the anesthesia
631
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,560
go over and the people have out-of-body experience.
632
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,320
But my was completely different.
633
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,000
My was a spiritual transformative near-death experience.
634
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,360
And there's more, and that's what I'm getting at here.
635
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:17,360
Yes.
636
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,760
Is in some ways the best is yet to come.
637
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,200
Okay, so you're back at the hotel.
638
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,600
After all this, time to go to sleep.
639
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,600
Yes.
640
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,920
Go ahead.
641
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,840
Okay, so I go to my bed, I try to get sleep.
642
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,240
As soon as I put my head on the pillow, I have an epiphany.
643
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,360
So epiphany is like a vision.
644
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:39,160
I never had one, so I thought it was a dream.
645
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:45,440
And in this epiphany, I open my eyes and I'm on the third floor of a cruise in the Caribbean.
646
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,400
So I can see the blue ocean, blue skies.
647
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,280
It's a sunny day, it's beautiful.
648
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,240
But at the end of the ocean, I see a tsunami rising coming my way.
649
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,800
And I was like, oh my God, I'm gonna die.
650
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,960
So I cover my face, just waiting for the heat to besten that on me.
651
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,920
And I was like, oh my God, I don't want to die, I don't want to die.
652
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,280
Well, then 15, 20 minutes passed, nothing happened until somebody come behind me and
653
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,080
touched me and said, Carlos, look at me, look at me.
654
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,160
I was like, no, no, no, no, we're about to die.
655
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,960
And he said, you're never gonna die with me.
656
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:16,960
And I said, like, who are you?
657
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:17,960
I said, look at me.
658
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,080
So I put my hands down and I look back.
659
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,360
And I see this guy taller than me, like six-five, with a wide row with light coming from his
660
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,360
face.
661
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,960
And he said, please close your eyes.
662
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,080
So in that moment, the way that I saw him, I said, like, this is Jesus.
663
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,640
But I didn't say anything to him, I was thinking this.
664
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,880
So he grabbed me from behind and he hugged me.
665
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,480
And 10 seconds later, he said, open your eyes, please.
666
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,920
And I opened my eyes and he opened his eyes.
667
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,920
And I said, like, welcome.
668
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,480
I said, welcome to work.
669
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,480
Look in front of you.
670
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,960
So I will look in front of me.
671
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,960
I was in heaven.
672
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,760
I was like, oh my God.
673
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,760
That means that I die.
674
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,000
I was like, no, Jesus, you need to take me back.
675
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,200
I need to do a lot of stuff.
676
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,200
You cannot take me right now.
677
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,120
I said, like, you didn't die right now.
678
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,720
You're in the middle right now.
679
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,520
And you make a promise to me.
680
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,920
And you need to fulfill your promise.
681
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,920
Welcome to heaven.
682
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,880
From today, you're part of me and part of all of them.
683
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,440
And when he said all of them, millions of people show up in front of me.
684
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,920
Like, it was like a huge garden, like a golf course, all green.
685
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,480
And these millions of people show up in white robes.
686
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,000
So he said, from today, just start walking with me and walking with them.
687
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
I said, OK, do you have any questions?
688
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,160
He said, yes, I have a question.
689
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,160
So what's your question?
690
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,400
I said, like, where all these people come from?
691
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,240
I said, they're coming from all over the world.
692
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,080
I said, OK, do you have another question?
693
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,080
I said, yes.
694
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,080
What is the true religion?
695
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:40,520
There is so many religions in this world that I always try to find where is the real one.
696
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,120
And he said, the only thing that I can tell you is when you come to heaven, that it's
697
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,960
not a religion in heaven.
698
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,960
What you're going to find in heaven is the love of God.
699
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,320
The love of God is the most powerful towards in the universe.
700
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,240
And that's what it's going to unite the whole humanity in one.
701
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,400
And then in that moment, he put his arms over me.
702
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,080
I said, OK, I'm going to give you a live review as he opened his arms.
703
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,760
And he showed me a lot of the screens and those screens.
704
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,240
I can see my life flashing in front of me.
705
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:18,520
And what I was watching is every decision I took, everything that I say to people that
706
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,320
hurt people, I was putting in the other side.
707
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,280
So I was putting in the other person's field.
708
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,800
So I could feel all the pain that I caused to people.
709
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,840
And I could feel whatever I did to other people.
710
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,040
So he wasn't judging me.
711
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,760
I was judging myself like, oh my God, I never thought this could hurt so many people.
712
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160
And after that, and we all do it as humans.
713
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,520
And after that, he said, OK, Carlos, it's time for you to go back.
714
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:50,680
But before you go back, I want you to give this message to everyone there.
715
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,240
Or I say, what is it?
716
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:59,080
Well, I want you to tell people that more than 98% of people around the world have childhood
717
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,720
trauma and they need to forgive.
718
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,720
I said, forgive who?
719
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,520
I said, they need to forgive their parents.
720
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,200
Number one, they need to forgive three people.
721
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,440
But the first is their parents.
722
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,440
Why their parents?
723
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,000
Because it doesn't matter if they abandon you, if they hit you, if they like you, if
724
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,840
they abuse you, whatever they did, they did the best for you.
725
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,320
They didn't have a manual to raise you.
726
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,440
Number two, you need to forgive your inner child.
727
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,600
Why your inner child?
728
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,160
Because whatever happened when you was a child is not your fault.
729
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,160
Nobody was there.
730
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,560
You was scared.
731
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,400
And nobody came to rescue you.
732
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,320
And number three, you need to forgive all the people that came to your life to harm you.
733
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,320
Why?
734
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,640
When you forgive your parents, your inner child, and the people that came to your life to harm
735
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,400
you, you're not forgiving them.
736
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,160
You're forgiving yourself.
737
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,120
In that moment, when you forgive, you open your heart and you throw away all the hate,
738
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:59,240
all the resentment, and all the poisons that later will become cancer and other sicknesses.
739
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,400
And from that moment, it's like you have a balloon with a string and you cut the balloon.
740
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,920
The string and you let the balloon go.
741
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,920
You're free.
742
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:11,040
And in that moment, it's when Jesus told me, just start leaving your purpose because everybody
743
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,760
came to earth with a purpose.
744
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,160
And what is your purpose?
745
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,160
It's really simple.
746
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320
It's the only thing that you know.
747
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,600
You do better than anybody else.
748
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,920
Everybody on earth have a gift.
749
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Some people cook amazes, some people don't.
750
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,200
It's amazes, some people that are good with gardening.
751
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,200
Everybody have a gift.
752
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,000
But he said, if you don't want to do that gift, the second gift is called service.
753
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Why service?
754
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,080
Because when you die, you're not taking your money.
755
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,560
You're not taking your titles.
756
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,480
You're not taking your house, your car, your Bitcoin.
757
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,600
The only thing that you're going to take with you is how many people you help on earth?
758
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920
How many people you take care of?
759
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,000
How many people you give shelter and food?
760
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,040
And what was the blueprint that you left on earth for others to follow you?
761
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:04,560
Look, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana.
762
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:10,000
Matthew Luther King, they did service and their service continued until today.
763
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,400
Now I ask you, and I ask all the listeners, people that is listening to the program, what
764
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:22,480
are you doing today to leave a legacy of love, to leave a blueprint on this earth?
765
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:29,640
So when it's time for you to go to heaven, you know that you left a beautiful gift for
766
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,960
others to follow.
767
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,680
So that's my story, and if you have any questions, let me know.
768
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,880
I have lots of questions.
769
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,360
First of all, when you were asleep, and you had this experience with Jesus, did you feel
770
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,480
like this was a regular dream or something more than that?
771
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,480
It was more than that.
772
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:55,440
I have more, the day after this was Sunday, after the experience on Monday, I come back
773
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,800
to work.
774
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:03,960
I didn't think about this experience until the next day that I come back to work.
775
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,400
When I went back to work on Monday, my boss sent me to a customer house.
776
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:13,320
When I go to this customer house, I used to work as a service manager, as a quality assurance
777
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,320
manager.
778
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,200
So I go to this house and the customer was in the kitchen.
779
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,440
I said, Carlos, one of your employees broke a lamp on my house.
780
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,440
It's on the basement.
781
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,760
I'm really busy right now.
782
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,800
Could you go to the basement, go to the last room and turn the lights, and you will see
783
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,680
a gold lamp on the corner.
784
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,840
If you can buy me a new one or fix that, that's fine.
785
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:39,000
So I go to the basement, I get to the last room, I turn the lights, and what I see next
786
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,320
to the lamp was a huge painting on the wall.
787
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:47,760
Out of this painting, it was exactly the same image that I saw in heaven with Jesus.
788
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,120
It was millions of people in the background, Jesus in the middle, in heaven, and at the
789
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,000
bottom of Jesus was dolphins.
790
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,440
So he was like touching the water in the ocean.
791
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,840
And I was speechless.
792
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,000
So I started crying there because it was very overwhelming for me.
793
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,360
And in that moment, I knew this wasn't a dream.
794
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,000
This was something else.
795
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,680
And then your customer came down and said, Carlos, are you okay?
796
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,680
What happened?
797
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,680
It's late.
798
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,440
How in the world do you have this painting right here?
799
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,400
I was two days ago there.
800
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,440
I said, what are you talking about?
801
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:17,440
So I told the story.
802
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,520
And then she said, well, three years ago, a friend of my family came here and did this
803
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,320
painting and it is so big that the only place that we have is in the basement.
804
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,320
And that's what is here.
805
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,840
So she turned the lights on and let me admire everything.
806
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,920
So everything that happened after this, I'm very skeptical.
807
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,160
So I have signs and signs and signs.
808
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,880
And I was asking if this was real, I want to see more.
809
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,360
So I'm not making this up.
810
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,360
Yeah.
811
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,680
It reaffirmed what happened to you and what you had seen.
812
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,000
You don't have a picture of that painting, do you?
813
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
No.
814
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000
You do it.
815
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Wow, darn.
816
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,000
I'd love to post that for people.
817
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000
If you ever see it, let me know.
818
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Oh, yeah.
819
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,600
And we'll post that sometime.
820
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,600
Okay.
821
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:05,120
I don't want to dwell on being too specific here, but you felt like this was much more
822
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,520
than a dream.
823
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:13,640
Did you feel like it was an out of body experience or a really spiritually transformative experience?
824
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,040
It was a spiritual transformative.
825
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,040
Okay.
826
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,040
For me, yeah.
827
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,040
Yeah.
828
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,720
And that's amazing.
829
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:26,320
Is there any more detail that you didn't fill in what Jesus looked like, anything like that?
830
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,720
Well, Jesus was, his face was light coming from his face.
831
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:34,080
Another thing that I didn't tell you the first time when I told this story to one of my best
832
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,320
friends, he said, Carlos, you need to go to a church and tell this story to people.
833
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,560
And I said, are you kidding me?
834
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,320
I will never tell this story to anyone because who's going to believe that I don't feel
835
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,320
same.
836
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,800
You know, there's going to be people like you're telling me, like it's hard for you to
837
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,800
believe, right?
838
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,800
I believe you.
839
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,800
That's why you're asking questions.
840
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,800
Okay.
841
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,840
So I didn't want to confront people like you or people like Christian fanatics or haters,
842
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,840
you know, there is a lot of haters out there.
843
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,840
And that's why I have enough with my life to tell people what to do with their life,
844
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,400
you know, and that's why I didn't want to get on this.
845
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,440
But my friends like Carlos, you know, is worse around the world right now.
846
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,520
There is people dying with cancer.
847
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,320
There is a lot of bad right there.
848
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,680
And people need to hear these stories.
849
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,560
I said, yeah, I know people need to hear the stories, but then they're going to be smart
850
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,560
people.
851
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,520
That is what I'm going to take this for real.
852
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:27,160
And I just trying to do a service for people, you know, I said, like, come on and he begged
853
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,560
me for like an hour.
854
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,360
I said, okay, I'll go to your house.
855
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,200
He live an hour away from my house.
856
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,680
I said, okay, I'll go into your house on Sunday and from there we go to church.
857
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,480
So that's on that I traveled to his house.
858
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,120
I get breakfast with him and his wife.
859
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,200
And then I said, okay, what church do you want to go?
860
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,200
I said, like, no, whatever.
861
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,320
It's like, look, Jesus told me that it doesn't matter.
862
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,320
Everything is love.
863
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,920
So whatever church is coming.
864
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,720
I said, okay, let's Google the first short close to the house.
865
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:58,160
So the first short that he found was called San Michael the Archangel.
866
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,120
So we went to the church and when we arrived to the parking lot, there was hundreds of
867
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,120
cars right there.
868
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,560
Everybody was celebrating something.
869
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,040
And I asked the lady next to my car, excuse me, what's going on today?
870
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,680
She said, well, today is the inauguration of this big cathedral.
871
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,520
We used to have a little church, but they're building, they've been building this for
872
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,520
years and today is the inauguration.
873
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,560
So you guys get on time to see the whole thing.
874
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,200
I said, okay.
875
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,720
So after we see the inauguration, I feel like Carlos, what do you speak with the priest?
876
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:31,240
So you can tell him that you want to tell your son, okay, let me talk to him.
877
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:33,600
So I'm going, hey, I have a testimony.
878
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,920
I don't know if you can put me there so I can tell the people, say sure.
879
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,720
At the end of the service, you can go and tell this, okay.
880
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:43,240
So at the end of the service, I went to the stage and I grabbed the microphone for the
881
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:44,240
first time.
882
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,920
I was super nervous to tell the story.
883
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:51,840
And I started telling my story and half a way of the story, a girl raised her hands
884
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,800
up and says, excuse me, excuse me, I'm sorry, I want to interrupt your story.
885
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,800
I said, okay.
886
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,160
It's like, yeah, what are you going to ask me?
887
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,400
It's like, I just want to ask you how Jesus was with you.
888
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,400
And I said, he was behind me.
889
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,400
How Jesus was dressing.
890
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,840
He was dressing with a white robe.
891
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,840
Okay.
892
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,840
What he was doing.
893
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,440
I said, if he was hugging me from behind, why?
894
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,200
And she said, watch this.
895
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,600
And I said, what are you going to do?
896
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,040
So she grabbed the hair, put the hair in front of her, she had a black long hair.
897
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:26,560
She was a skinny girl and she turned around and in the back of the church, she had a painting.
898
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,280
And this is the painting that she had in the back.
899
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,560
It's called forgiveness by Thomas Blackshire.
900
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,800
And she said, it was like this.
901
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,120
I said, yep, it was exactly like that.
902
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,720
And everybody looked at her and looked at me.
903
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:41,120
Oh my God, you guys planned this.
904
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,600
And I was like, there we go.
905
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:43,760
That's what I'm trying to avoid.
906
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,520
You know, I don't live in this area, live an hour away from here and never come to this
907
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,520
church.
908
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,520
I don't know the girl.
909
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:54,920
So anyways, when the service end, I go back to my house and I Google this image and it
910
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,560
called, which is a story.
911
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,160
And guess what is the story?
912
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,560
In the year 1992, this is a fact.
913
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,040
This is not fiction.
914
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:08,280
In the year 1992, a famous painter, painter called Thomas Blackshire, he started doing
915
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:13,720
fasting for two weeks and he started asking God, let me paint the image of Jesus.
916
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:20,240
For people that is suffering of cancer or they're losing a member of their family or
917
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:24,320
they're going to financial add down or something really bad.
918
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,640
And they know that Jesus is behind them, hugging them.
919
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,040
You know, they are never alone.
920
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,920
So he started doing the fasting.
921
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,200
After the fasting, he started doing the painting.
922
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,440
When he was half a way of the painting, he said, the Holy Spirit show up and said, I
923
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,600
told us, it's a beautiful painting, but you need to write a book and tell people the
924
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,200
story behind this painting.
925
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,720
You need to tell people about what is the meaning of the painting.
926
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:51,480
So I said, what do you want me to explain?
927
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,960
So the Holy Spirit said, you see the black in the background?
928
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,120
That's the darkness that we all humans have.
929
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,680
That's the haters, that's the nobelievers and all that, you know?
930
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,080
The front of the, this is the illumination that humans have.
931
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,680
This is the love for Jesus and describe everything on the picture.
932
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,120
So he wrote a book and his book is laying right here.
933
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,720
It's all forgiveness by Thomas Blackshare.
934
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:20,480
And in the book, he is playing every part of the painting, trying to people.
935
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:25,480
And at the end, he is playing why humans we need to forgive the people.
936
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,720
So little by little, I start receiving all this bread.
937
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:34,800
Oh, as you know, like, oh my God, this is making real, you know?
938
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,120
And after that, I have a lot of experiences.
939
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:43,600
Before I finally say, okay, this is not a war, this is not my imagination, this is happening,
940
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,600
you know?
941
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:50,600
I'm writing my third book right now because all the experiences that I have, you know?
942
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,240
Because this was the beginning.
943
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:53,960
And I guess this is happening to me.
944
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,920
I'm not the only person in the world that this experience happened.
945
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,240
There is a lot of people out there that I have experiences live in mind, you know?
946
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:02,240
Yeah.
947
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:03,840
So your book is called, Help from Heaven.
948
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,840
Yes.
949
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,600
You mentioned you're working on a third.
950
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:07,600
What's the second one?
951
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,320
Well, I'm working in two books right now.
952
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,320
Okay.
953
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,560
Help from Heaven is the one that's already published.
954
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,880
People can find it at helpfromheaven.org.
955
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:16,880
Yeah.
956
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,600
I have it in Spanish, a digital, and English.
957
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,600
Oh, yeah.
958
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,400
Spanish and English.
959
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,880
I have an audiobook too.
960
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,040
It's a one audiobook.
961
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,560
I have candle in English and Spanish too.
962
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,560
So they're both.
963
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:29,560
Okay.
964
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,960
A couple other quick questions.
965
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,680
Tell me about the life review.
966
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:33,920
I think it's interesting.
967
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:39,920
The way you explained it is very, very common that you were put in the shoes of the person
968
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:45,240
that you may have offended in some way and you felt what they were feeling.
969
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:48,160
What other emotions did that carry with it?
970
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,280
Was there guilt?
971
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,280
Was there?
972
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,280
Tell me more about it.
973
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,480
Well, it was really quick.
974
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,480
It wasn't guilt.
975
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,960
What I felt was compassion.
976
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,600
It was love.
977
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,880
It was like, oh my God, I never thought that my actions will hurt somebody that way.
978
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:04,880
You know?
979
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:09,080
Like I said to you before, we all humans do that.
980
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,560
Even with our parents or with friends, we go through that.
981
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,200
So that was awakening for me.
982
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,080
When I come back to my being again, I start treating people better.
983
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,880
And if you ask any person that goes to near-death experiences, you're going to ask in their
984
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,080
interviews, people come with more love.
985
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,400
Like me, when I come back, I said, you know what?
986
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,400
I don't want to waste more time.
987
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,400
I don't want to watch TV.
988
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,400
I don't want to watch movies.
989
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,400
I need to help.
990
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,320
So the first thing that I did, I started talking with my friends.
991
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,880
Do you know any organization to help some people?
992
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:40,880
To help some people.
993
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,960
And yeah, it's called In Atlanta, Food for Life.
994
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:49,400
It's one of the biggest organizations all over the world to help homeless.
995
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,400
So I start doing that.
996
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,480
And I start doing Toys for Tots.
997
00:44:53,480 --> 00:45:01,520
I start going to Mother Teresa house here in Atlanta to help the non-profit organizations
998
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,280
and stuff.
999
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,840
And just try to be the best version of myself, the best human being that I can be.
1000
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:08,840
You know?
1001
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,720
Yeah, that's awesome.
1002
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:16,160
So you were sent back with a message, a purpose, a mission, if you will.
1003
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,640
That's a lot to live up to.
1004
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,680
Has that been difficult?
1005
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,680
It was, okay.
1006
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,000
I was running away from this for five years.
1007
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Okay?
1008
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,000
I didn't want to do this at all.
1009
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,840
But I've received so many messages, so many stuff.
1010
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,920
I have a painting that I can show you.
1011
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,120
I don't know, three or four years into this.
1012
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,280
I didn't want to do the book.
1013
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,280
I didn't want to do it.
1014
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,160
So I know me, grab somebody else.
1015
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,920
I don't want to do this, you know?
1016
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,120
I was invited to a party, a birthday party.
1017
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,440
And in the birthday party, the guy who was his birthday, he said, Carlos, I want you
1018
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,440
to give me my gift.
1019
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,440
It's going to be your story.
1020
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,320
I said, no, bro, this is a birthday party.
1021
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,320
I don't want to tell my story.
1022
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,800
He said, come on, tell it.
1023
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,120
So he'd make a circle with everybody and tell my story.
1024
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,800
When I finish, there is a guy with his wife that are crying in a corner.
1025
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,000
And I go there and say, I'm sorry.
1026
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,480
I didn't want to make you cry.
1027
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,480
This is just my story.
1028
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,480
And the guy said, you know who I am?
1029
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,920
I said, no, I don't know who they are.
1030
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:07,920
Who you are?
1031
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,320
I said, well, I'm one of the directors of my spiritual retreat and I want you to call
1032
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:13,320
with me.
1033
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:14,320
It's called, am I used?
1034
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,120
Like in the Bible, there is a passage.
1035
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,120
It's called, am I used?
1036
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Walking with Jesus.
1037
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,600
I said, I said, sir, thank you so much, but I don't have time for this.
1038
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,800
I said, no, no, no, no, you don't understand.
1039
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:29,000
I need you to come with me because these retreats for 50 men, there are guys that are trying
1040
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:34,000
to commit suicide, there are guys that died with cancer, there is people that don't believe,
1041
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,000
there are haters.
1042
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
And I want all these people to hear your story.
1043
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,600
And so like, okay, made the story short.
1044
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,880
I finally go to the retreat for three days.
1045
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,360
It's here in Georgia, like two hours away in a mountains that nobody knows.
1046
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,000
I just want to let you know what happened to me.
1047
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:58,160
The last day, the day before it ends, the priest come to me and he handed me a Bible.
1048
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:03,760
I said, put your hands on the top of the Bible and ask God a question that you want to ask,
1049
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,280
anything that you want, ask him.
1050
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,760
And he's going to respond.
1051
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,000
I was like, you're right.
1052
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,040
I still get to write and I grab my hands and I put it on the Bible.
1053
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:19,880
And this question was done to every of the 50 men that we went there, you know, the guy
1054
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,840
who was before me, he asked God, I've been trying to have a baby with my wife for over
1055
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,760
10 years, we did all the treatments and we couldn't have the baby.
1056
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,760
That would be amazing if you give us a baby, but I don't understand why.
1057
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,760
I just want to know why we cannot have a baby.
1058
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:41,240
After that guy was my turn and I asked God, if you really want me to write a book about
1059
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:45,560
this because I have dreamers and I have a lot of signals about the book, I need something
1060
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,560
that I can see that is a book.
1061
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:48,560
Okay.
1062
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,800
I need proof that this is not my imagination.
1063
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,680
So the priest said, okay, tomorrow you're going to have your ass and I was like, mm-hmm.
1064
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:04,800
So next morning we get breakfast, the 50 men, and then we are taken to a big ballroom on
1065
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:05,800
the ballroom.
1066
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:11,640
There are 50 chairs and the priest said, please get inside of the ballroom and grab any chairs
1067
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:12,640
you want.
1068
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,320
So people sit down anywhere, right?
1069
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,280
On the top of the chair, there is a manila envelope.
1070
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,880
So on the top of the manila envelope, you're going to put the manila envelope on your legs.
1071
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,680
So everybody put the manila envelope.
1072
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:28,400
Now the priest said, I want you to grab the manila envelope and start passing it everywhere,
1073
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,600
everywhere around you, left, right, back and forth.
1074
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,800
So he started counting, one, two, three, so everybody start passing this stuff until he
1075
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,480
said stop.
1076
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:43,520
Now I want to let you know, the priest said, that that envelope is not the same envelope
1077
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,600
that you took when you sit down that chair.
1078
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,520
I didn't assign you that chair.
1079
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,480
You took that chair.
1080
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,200
So it's not the chair, it's not the envelope.
1081
00:48:53,200 --> 00:49:00,280
Now the answer that is inside of that paperwork, that envelope, is the question that you asked
1082
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:01,680
yesterday.
1083
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:08,920
So now everybody open the envelope and watch the message that is inside of the envelope.
1084
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:16,720
So when I opened the envelope, it was a painting from some kids for elementary school.
1085
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:23,480
And now the painting is right here, you see Jesus coming out with a book.
1086
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,560
And I'll have you send that to me too so that our listeners can take a look at that.
1087
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:33,000
So you can see people from all over the world grabbing the book, God, I mean Jesus coming
1088
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,800
out of the book and the Holy Spirit.
1089
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,160
Yeah, and hearts floating all over.
1090
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,360
Yeah, so it's leaving hearts all over the world.
1091
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,000
So in that moment I said, okay, this is my imagination.
1092
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,200
I asked for a book, the book show up, this is real.
1093
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:55,000
So you know, seeing that like that, I started getting a lot until it was so strong that
1094
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,000
I have to write a book.
1095
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,720
I said, God, I don't know how to write a book.
1096
00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:01,720
If you put somebody in front of me that know how to write a book, I'll do it.
1097
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,720
Guess what, two weeks later I was invited to a meeting and in the meeting, a guy is
1098
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:08,720
like, hey, who wants to write a book here?
1099
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:10,720
I was like, what?
1100
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:13,200
I send the guy who invited me, this guy right here.
1101
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,920
I was like, no, no, no, no, I said, come on Carlos.
1102
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:21,920
And then that's how my book came out with this publisher.
1103
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,360
And I couldn't believe it, but I did it, you know.
1104
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:30,720
It was hard for me to believe, but little by little everything was coming to a conclusion
1105
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:34,480
that I did it after five years running away from.
1106
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,880
Like I said up front, feel good story of the week.
1107
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:38,880
Love it Carlos.
1108
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:44,080
I really wrap up here, hey, I really appreciated your message about forgiveness too.
1109
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,280
What's one last thing that you'd like to share with everybody?
1110
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:52,840
Look, one thing that I want to share with somebody is a lesson that I learned years
1111
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:53,840
ago.
1112
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,600
I did a trip from Atlanta to Los Angeles, California.
1113
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,880
I would have friend that I was, she was moving from here from Atlanta and she's a psychologist.
1114
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,640
So she told me like, well, we were in the middle of the desert in New Mexico.
1115
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,560
She said, okay, let's practice this.
1116
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:15,120
You might grab your phone and you're going to call a friend that you have like five to
1117
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,120
10 years without talking to this friend.
1118
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:23,200
And this friend changed your life, but he don't know or she don't know what she did
1119
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:24,200
to you.
1120
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,480
She give you an advice and she give you something and everything changed, but you never took
1121
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:34,120
the chance to say that to him or call somebody that changed your life, but you never say
1122
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:39,000
anything and in that moment, I called one of my best friend that I have years without
1123
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,960
talking to him, moved to another country and I told him everything that he did for me and
1124
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,840
everything that changed, how he changed my life and he didn't know.
1125
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,960
And we both started crying on the phone, you know, this is the time that you can call your
1126
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,720
mom if you don't talk to her, your dad if you don't talk to her, if you fight.
1127
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:59,920
I said, you know what, I'm sorry, life is too short.
1128
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:03,720
Let's start talking again, you know, your brother that you don't talk anymore, your
1129
00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:10,880
members of your family, any friend, you know, stop getting the hate inside of you and open
1130
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:16,240
your heart and give a chance to that people again, you know, give one more chance and
1131
00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:19,320
you're going to feel love in your heart.
1132
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:24,120
So when that moment comes that you have to go to heaven, you will see how that feels.
1133
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:30,240
You're going to feel it right now on earth if you do that call to somebody you love.
1134
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:31,640
Great message.
1135
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,960
Thank you very much, Carlos Vivas.
