Round Trip Death

Mark Anthony is a best-selling author and television & radio celebrity. Growing up with parents who had near death experiences, it was nothing out of the ordinary when he had his at age 4.

That experience and others led to a lifetime of studying the history of NDE's, understanding NDE's, the interrelation of neuroscience and quantum physics, religion and much more about the spiritual world and what happens to us after we die.

Oh ya, and somewhere in there he became a practicing attorney.

Is the Bible full of Near Death Experiences? Did Charles Dickens have one? We discuss all this and more!

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,840
One of life's greatest questions is what happens to us after we die?

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,400
Is death the end or a new beginning?

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,800
Welcome to the Roundtrip Death Podcast.

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,400
In this show, we listen to first-hand accounts of people who have gone beyond the veil and

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,080
return to talk about it.

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,280
We are ending our first season of the show with a big celebrity on today.

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,280
A little bit different kind of format.

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,160
We have with us Mark Anthony, JD's psychic explorer, also known as the psychic lawyer.

9
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:46,040
Now just to tell you a little bit more about Mark, he is a fourth-generation psychic medium

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,000
who communicates with spirits.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,080
And here's the big thing, he is an Oxford-educated attorney, licensed to practice law in Florida,

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,320
Washington, D.C. and before the U.S. Supreme Court.

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:05,600
He appears nationwide on TV and radio, including CBS's The Doctors and Gaia TV's Beyond Belief

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,400
with George Norrie.

15
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,320
Whole lots of other credentials behind him.

16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,520
He has spoken at conferences and universities, including Brown, Columbia, Harvard, Yale.

17
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,960
This guy has a resume a mile long.

18
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,640
He also most recently is author of the bestseller, The Afterlife Frequency, which is the gold

19
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,960
winner of the C.O.V.R. Visionary Awards and was up for a Pulitzer and ranked as one of

20
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,320
the top books about faith in God.

21
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:38,440
His other bestselling books are Never Letting Go and Evidence of Eternity.

22
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,560
Mark, it is so good to have you on today.

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,560
Thanks, Eric.

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,320
It's great to be here.

25
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,560
It was fun, we were talking before the show about the recent launch down in Florida.

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,200
Did you happen to see that?

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,200
Artemis won.

28
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,560
You know, the night that it went up, I was asked to be on coast to coast AM to speak

29
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,600
about of all things near-death experiences.

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,360
The title of that episode was Ancient Mysteries Reveal New Discoveries.

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,520
I'm close enough to the cape that I knew when it went up because I could feel the house

32
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,400
rumbling from the sonic booms.

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it, but my neighbor said it lit up the sky like the

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480
sun itself was coming up.

35
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Those things used to be so huge.

36
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,160
They were on every single TV channel live, and now we take them for granted, which seems

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,560
a little ridiculous.

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,160
But anyway, you have not only had your own NDE, you're an expert on the topic, and a

39
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,000
lot of things related to it.

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Could you give us a little bit of understanding here about what it takes for people who have

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:58,800
had one of these experiences to actually not only comprehend it, but figure out what it

42
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,720
means for them?

43
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,240
It can take years, even an entire lifetime.

44
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,320
I had my NDE when I was four years old.

45
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,000
The reason that I don't go into it in interviews is because it's such a key component to my

46
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,200
latest book, The Afterlife Frequency.

47
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:28,760
For the listeners who want to find out about my NDE and how it took years for the significance

48
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,040
of it to unfold, it's essential to read the afterlife frequency.

49
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,160
But both of my parents had NDE's.

50
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,840
My dad had two, and my mother had at least one.

51
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,400
My dad was 16 years old when he was in this horrific car accident.

52
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,120
He said the next thing he knew, he was floating.

53
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,360
He said about 30, 40 feet above the accident, and he saw the crumpled cars and all these

54
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,720
people running to his body.

55
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840
They pulled him out, and they were doing CPR on him.

56
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,520
He said, I saw this light, and I heard this voice.

57
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,200
He said, I felt, wow, I'm dead.

58
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,200
This feels great.

59
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,440
I remember dad saying, this feels great.

60
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,920
The voice, and dad said, it wasn't the voice that you hear when you think.

61
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,160
It was a different voice.

62
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,440
His name was Earl, and the voice said, Earl, you have to go back.

63
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,280
Dad then said the next thing he knew, he was in his body again.

64
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,840
He goes, Mark, it hurt like hell.

65
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,200
So there he was, a teenager.

66
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Then after that, he was in the Navy, and he had served as a Navy SEAL.

67
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,360
And so about, gosh, it had to be 10, almost 15 years later, he was out of the Navy, but

68
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,000
he was a scuba diver.

69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,880
And he was diving off the coast of New Jersey, and they were in really deep water, 125 feet.

70
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,240
And he said that his regulator jammed.

71
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,880
Now that's never a good thing, and especially in those days, they didn't have any backup

72
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,920
or emergency oxygen supply or anything.

73
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,960
And he said he started sucking water, and he said, Mark, I was drowning.

74
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
And at 125 feet, there's nothing you can do.

75
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,520
He said, that's it.

76
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,360
He said, there I was again, that floating sensation, the light, and the voice said, Earl, it's

77
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,640
not your time again.

78
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440
You have to go back.

79
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:31,800
He said, Mark, I have absolutely no idea how my regulator started working again.

80
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,520
But I started getting oxygen, I cleared my mask, and I made it to the surface.

81
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:50,080
And he cleaned from that, that there was too much that he had to do in his life.

82
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,280
And my mother, who was a very gifted psychic medium, both my parents like me were mediums.

83
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:02,520
And I know that the focus of this program is not necessarily about mediumship, but it's

84
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:09,040
hard to talk about communication with our loved ones in spirit through an NDE without

85
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:16,440
mediumship, because they use similar energetic modalities, and that's why there's an overlap.

86
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,440
And my mother was particularly close to her father.

87
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:32,160
And in my first book, Never Letting Go, one of my early memories, and really, Eric, the

88
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,400
only memory I have of my mother's father, she was super close to her father, who's very

89
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,560
religious, very Catholic, venerated all the saints.

90
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,920
And he always wore this fedora hat.

91
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,320
And he was from Italy, so I spoke with this Italian accent, he was like this real suave,

92
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,240
Italian kind of a guy.

93
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,160
And he was very, very ill, he was dying of cancer.

94
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,200
And I remember my mother brought me to the hospital to see him in New York.

95
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:09,920
We were living in Florida, dad, we had moved down there to Florida because of aerospace.

96
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:21,760
And two weeks later, it was a Sunday morning, and my mom woke up, and she was staring at

97
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,480
the doorway of her bedroom.

98
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560
And my dad looked up and he said, Jeannie, what's going on?

99
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,120
And she goes, daddy?

100
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,240
And she saw her father standing in the doorway of her bedroom.

101
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,920
She said he looked young and handsome.

102
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,000
He had these rosy cheeks, and he was wearing his fedora, and he always trusts, you know,

103
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,240
he had the best Italian suits.

104
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,160
And he tipped his hat to her, which is something he always did when he left the room.

105
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,120
And she said, he didn't say anything, but I heard in my head, there is something beyond

106
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,080
this life, and it is wonderful.

107
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,760
That was, I think, was 7.704 in the morning.

108
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Mom was hysterical crying, all my brother, sister and I, we all woke up.

109
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,640
Why is mommy crying?

110
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:12,320
And she called her brother, mother, she couldn't get a sister, she couldn't get hold of anyone.

111
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,520
And then around 9 o'clock, my uncle called and said, daddy died this morning.

112
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,520
She goes, when?

113
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,800
He goes, 7 a.m.

114
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,440
So at the precise moment of his death, he came to see her.

115
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,960
Now we now know this as a shared death experience.

116
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,680
And shared death experiences typically occur for people who are in close proximity to the

117
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:42,920
person who is dying, but not always.

118
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,400
And in my life, I've experienced this on a number of occasions.

119
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:56,040
But when I was a teenager, my mother had Crohn's disease and her intestines actually burst.

120
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,760
And I would never forget being at the hospital.

121
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,880
And my dad, he's a Navy SEAL, okay?

122
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,200
And the surgeon came out and said to us, he goes, I don't think she's going to live.

123
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,960
We're going to lose her.

124
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,000
And I'll never forget my dad walking right up to the surgeon, looking him right in the

125
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,320
eyes and saying, if she dies, you die.

126
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,040
Oh, how did he take that?

127
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Well, yeah.

128
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,680
And let me tell you, dad, he was like 5'10".

129
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:36,440
He was one of these 6'4 guys, but man, when dad went into SEAL mode, it was like, my brother

130
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,360
and I are standing there like, oh my God.

131
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,440
Well, he races back into the operating room.

132
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,400
They lost my mom for six minutes, but they got her heart going.

133
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,240
My mother said she went into the light.

134
00:09:51,240 --> 00:10:00,120
And she said that she encountered my great-grandmother, Giovanna, who was very well known in the early

135
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:06,560
1900s, well, her whole life as the woman who knows things.

136
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:13,000
She was very gifted, a medium, and in fact, even high-ranking officials from the Catholic

137
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Church, she used to consult with her cardinals, bishops, mother superiors.

138
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,480
And she encountered her grandmother, Giovanna, and then her father stepped forward and said,

139
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Jeannie, it's a nod to your time.

140
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,400
You have too much to do.

141
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,480
And she came back.

142
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,320
And so, Eric, this is the household I grew up in.

143
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,880
I had an NDE when I was four.

144
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:50,400
My parents had NDE's, and it was just something that we did not take for granted.

145
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Yeah.

146
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,520
So, you've been studying this your whole life.

147
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,120
It's been my whole life, yes.

148
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,120
Yeah.

149
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,320
It's been your whole life.

150
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,480
There's probably isn't an answer for this, but it's something that I ponder on, and that

151
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:12,280
is why some people are given a choice of whether they want to come back or not, and others,

152
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,800
like your father, are just told, you need to go back.

153
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Do you have any thoughts on why that might be?

154
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,000
I do.

155
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,200
Free will is a gift from God.

156
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,440
Now, when I talk about God, I remember I talked to some friends recently that I hadn't seen

157
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,920
for years about God.

158
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,320
And I said, look, when I say God, I don't mean an erotic white guy sitting on a throne

159
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,760
with a scepter, smiting people.

160
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:47,440
I believe in the energetic link between all of us, which is based on quantum mechanics.

161
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,320
And there's a day we're coming in, a day we're going out, and what we do in between is the

162
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,600
choice that we have over.

163
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,800
But it does appear in some NDE's is the choice is yours.

164
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:07,600
But in my research, most of the time, the message from the collective consciousness,

165
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,760
from the vast wisdom, is that you have to go back.

166
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,040
We even saw this in J.K.

167
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,600
Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

168
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:25,240
When Harry, in the very final book in that series, he dies, and he goes to, I think,

169
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,400
his Victoria station or whatever, and he sees Dumbledore comes into the light.

170
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,160
And Dumbledore, Harry goes, well, am I dead?

171
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,040
And Dumbledore basically says, well, that's your choice.

172
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:45,680
And I think that's really fascinating the way NDE's have been part of our literature,

173
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:50,800
part of our culture for really for centuries.

174
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:57,760
And so the choice aspect does occasionally come up, but I'm pretty sure that when you

175
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:04,040
and you get to a certain stage in your near death experience, and they tell you, you got

176
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,160
to go back, that's because you have to.

177
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:15,280
And I think that it's also part of that is sharing this experience with other people,

178
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:23,560
which of course, as you all know, is not always welcomed in people's families or religions

179
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:24,920
or social circles.

180
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,880
No, I've talked to so many people that said, especially if their NDE was years ago, 20,

181
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,960
30, 40 years ago, where it was just not accepted, and they were told, you sound crazy, be quiet,

182
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,880
don't talk about it anymore.

183
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:46,920
And also people who are telling me, yeah, I was and I don't want to name any religions,

184
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,480
but I was this religion.

185
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:57,040
When I told my pastor, minister, whoever about it, he just said, no, or that's of the devil

186
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,960
or, or, you know, basically take that back.

187
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,640
That didn't really happen.

188
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,600
And they're like, it did happen.

189
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,160
It was extremely real.

190
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,240
So what do we do with this?

191
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:16,920
But I wanted to congratulate you because we've done over 40 episodes of this show, and you're

192
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,120
the first person to mention Harry Potter in that whole time.

193
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,480
So congratulations.

194
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,640
I didn't know how long we were going to go without it, but now we know the answer to

195
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,640
that.

196
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Okay, before we go on, I had one other question for you.

197
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:37,240
The whole shared death experience phenomenon I find extremely interesting too.

198
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,800
And I hadn't really thought about the fact that you could have a shared death experience

199
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,800
with someone who is a long ways away.

200
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,400
I kind of assumed you had to be in the room with them when they die.

201
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,560
That seems to being in close physical proximity seems to be the norm.

202
00:14:54,560 --> 00:15:01,360
But in the afterlife frequency, I introduced the concept of the electromagnetic soul, which

203
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:07,200
explains it's the basis for all forms of interdimensional communication.

204
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Shared death and shared death experiences, death bed visions and DBVs, death bed visions

205
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,920
and shared death experiences are very closely overlapped.

206
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:22,640
Mediumship visitations when a spirit will come to you in the dream state.

207
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:28,480
And I know we want to focus on NDEs, SDEs and DBVs, death bed visions, so we will.

208
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:35,640
But the electromagnetic soul, I've spent my lifetime developing this theory and it's

209
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,720
been endorsed by the scientific community or at least the afterlife research and survival

210
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,240
of consciousness wing of the scientific community.

211
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:53,800
Every great spiritual teacher from ancient India through Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus,

212
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Confucius, Lao-Zu, Muhammad, all the way up to the modern day, Native American spirituality,

213
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:05,800
the religions of the Pacific, because I've studied all of these and I'm always studying

214
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,920
more, teach that the soul, the consciousness, the who and what we are pre-exist the body,

215
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,000
comes into the body, moves on after the body dies.

216
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,520
We know that from the field of neuroscience, which studies the human brain, that our entire

217
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160
nervous system has an electrical field.

218
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:30,200
And while the brain accounts for something like 4% of the body's weight, it uses over

219
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,800
20% of the body's electrical energy.

220
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,760
In other words, the electromagnetic field in our brain, and we know from the, I think

221
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,320
it's the first law in thermodynamics and physics, that energy is neither created nor destroyed

222
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,720
only transferred.

223
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:53,080
So combining faith and science, I created the term the electromagnetic soul to describe

224
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:59,920
what we really are, which is pure consciousness, that is eternal electromagnetic energy.

225
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:10,200
And that, that Eric is the basis for us understanding the science of near-death, shared-death experiences,

226
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,520
death bedvisions, mediumship and so on and so forth.

227
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,560
But I'll, I'll focus my discussion on the NDEs and the SDEs.

228
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:26,680
So there are five different brain wave frequencies, gamma, alpha, theta, excuse me, gamma, beta,

229
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,800
alpha, theta, delta.

230
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,720
Gamma is when you're in the jeopardy tournament of champions, all right?

231
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Your brain is just cooking.

232
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,240
Yeah, that's when you're like running full throttle.

233
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,000
Beta is, is the activities for daily living, the awake state, I can drive my car, balance

234
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,560
my checkbook, you know, use a computer, talk.

235
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,120
When you begin to relax and go into the meditative state or, or you start to fall asleep, you

236
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:51,680
go into alpha.

237
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,520
And then when you go into dreaming sleep, that's theta.

238
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,840
Delta has very little brain wave activity, but that's real important because that's when

239
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,560
your body is diverting energy to healing and, you know, cellular regeneration.

240
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:11,720
But it's the alpha, theta border where psychic and mediumistic type activities occur and

241
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,240
spirits are able to see that.

242
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:24,640
And when people are in that state, spirits will adjust their frequency down to the alpha,

243
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,240
theta frequency so that we can have contact.

244
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:39,800
So what we've seen in 2022, two huge developments in near death experience research in February

245
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:47,640
of 2022 in Tartu, Estonia, an 87 year old man had a stroke rushed to the hospital.

246
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:53,160
He's hooked up to an EEG and electron cephalogram and they're monitoring his brain waves and

247
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,560
he has a massive heart attack and dies.

248
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:04,640
Never before in history had someone died while being administered in EEG and what happened

249
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,840
to astonished medical professionals worldwide, all five brain wave frequencies surged off

250
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,280
the scale.

251
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:22,040
Now November 6th, 2022, the Grossman Institute of New York University released a study called

252
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:32,320
Lucid Dying and it was conducted at 25 hospitals between the US and the UK and there were over

253
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:40,520
almost 600 people who were hooked up to EEGs while being given CPR.

254
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:48,480
And one in five of them who flatlined and then came back, every single one of them, their

255
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,560
brain wave frequency surged so the data is consistent with what happened in Tartu, Estonia.

256
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:06,680
But one in five of them returned with details of going into the light, the very classic

257
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,320
description of near death experiences.

258
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:16,200
So now how does my electromagnetic solv theory fit into this?

259
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:23,840
You see a light bulb has an aura because there's an energy field around it.

260
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:30,120
So think of an incandescent bulb that suddenly gets real bright and burns out.

261
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:31,280
We've all seen this.

262
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,560
It's the same thing with our brain.

263
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,800
Our brain did not create our consciousness.

264
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,040
It didn't create our electromagnetic soul.

265
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,040
It hosts it.

266
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Similarly, the tungsten in the filament of a incandescent light bulb did not create the

267
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,760
electricity that flows through it.

268
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,480
It merely regulates it.

269
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:57,480
So when we're dying, our brain begins to degrade and it's no longer able to host the amount

270
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,640
of energy of the electromagnetic soul.

271
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,240
So it spikes.

272
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:09,800
That's why when somebody is actively dying, their brain waves, their electromagnetic souls

273
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080
frequency expands.

274
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:20,600
People in close proximity to the dying person, family members and dear friends, hospice workers,

275
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,520
other healthcare workers, their brain wave frequencies and their electromagnetic souls

276
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,160
pick up on this.

277
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,960
And that's why people in close proximity to somebody dying, even though they're not an

278
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,520
imminent threat of dying, will experience a floating sensation.

279
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:42,160
They may actually see the spirits that are coming to greet the person in transition.

280
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,840
And they may actually see, as I have on a number of occasions, a surge of white light

281
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,160
coming out of the person's body before they die.

282
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:58,360
So this isn't some woohoo, airy-fairy, granola snorting theory.

283
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:05,240
This is based on neuroscience and quantum physics, plus on objective, the scientific

284
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:14,160
method of objectively analyzing people who are dying while administering an EEG to collect

285
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,200
and corroborate the data.

286
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,280
So we're at the threshold of very exciting times, Eric.

287
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,560
For centuries, people have talked about NDE's and you're crazy and blah, blah, blah.

288
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,280
And now we're starting to see that this is real.

289
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Yeah.

290
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,080
I'm glad that there's finally some science behind it.

291
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,720
I know some of the people listening today are thinking, I want to believe this.

292
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,760
I don't know if I believe it.

293
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,240
How can they, what can they learn from that science?

294
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,160
Is there anything else that you want to explain about it to help them get off that fence?

295
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,680
Well, I'd say the first thing you need to do is get my book, The Afterlife Frequency.

296
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:02,320
And well, the thing is though that I spent years doing the research and I spent the better

297
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:09,360
part of five years writing it because I wanted to present the science of the afterlife in

298
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:11,280
a credible fashion.

299
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,360
But my books read like novels.

300
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:18,600
So don't be afraid that you're going to be stuck reading some algebra textbook.

301
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,400
That's not going to happen.

302
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:26,240
And I'm giving a very shortened description of the electromagnetic soul theory and the

303
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,200
frequency overlap theory.

304
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:36,960
But we are seeing this more and more and it's being reported more and more that when people

305
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,160
who are in close proximity to a dying person, they get caught up maybe in even in the person's

306
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,760
life review.

307
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,600
And the life reviews, the proverbial, my life flashed before my eyes.

308
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,040
And we've all heard that expression as part of our culture.

309
00:23:54,040 --> 00:24:03,160
But that's also part of what happens as the EMS, the electromagnetic soul, begins to separate

310
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,360
from the vessel that hosts it.

311
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:10,000
Think of your brain as a computer hard drive.

312
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,400
Your computer hard drive did not create Windows 10, Windows 11 or whatever operating system

313
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,040
you're using, nor did your computer create the data that's on it.

314
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,560
It merely hosts it.

315
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:28,760
And when it crashes, when the body dies, that information stays coherent, yet is uploaded

316
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,400
to a higher vibrational frequency.

317
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,440
You've also done some study on the history of near-death experiences.

318
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,920
Tell us a little bit about that.

319
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,360
There's so many wonderful stories.

320
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:45,880
I love when people say, well, that's against Scripture.

321
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,880
Is it?

322
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,720
No, I've seen one of your talks where you use a lot of Scripture.

323
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,400
So let's hear some of it.

324
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,400
Yeah, Jonah in the whale.

325
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,720
So Jonah is a prophet, and God tells him to go to Nineveh, which is in modern-day Iraq.

326
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600
And he's like, I don't want to go to Iraq.

327
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:11,960
Apparently, it was problematic over 3,000 years ago because Jonah lived in the Old Testament

328
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,640
era, which would be the Bronze Age, roughly eight to nine centuries before the birth of

329
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,800
Christ.

330
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,800
So he hops on a ship that's headed for Spain.

331
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,640
I guess southern Spain was a vacation destination even in the Bronze Age.

332
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,720
Much better than Nineveh.

333
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,720
Much better than Nineveh.

334
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Yeah, good beaches, the whole thing.

335
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Exactly.

336
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:40,640
And so heavy seas hit, and the crew figures out that Jonah disobeyed the Word of God,

337
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,120
so they promptly threw him overboard.

338
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:47,880
And the Lord sends a great fish to swallow Jonah, and he's in the belly of the fish for

339
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:54,440
three days and three nights until it's vomited up, and Jonah survives.

340
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:00,840
But the thing is, this, I believe, is a metaphor for a near-death experience.

341
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:07,600
So Jonah, or whoever the description is about, may have drowned or may have had some other

342
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:15,520
type of malady or problem where he was in an inert state for three days.

343
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,240
And if you read the actual passage, it talks about descending to the bottom of the mountain,

344
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,960
but then the Lord rises me up.

345
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:32,120
And after the experience, Jonah embraces his piety and continues on his spiritual mission,

346
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,800
also not an unusual after-effect of an NDE.

347
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,840
Many people become very spiritual.

348
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:45,200
Well, in support of our friends who take a literal interpretation of Scripture, even

349
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:53,520
though a whale's esophagus is only five inches in diameter, in June of 2022, Michael Packard,

350
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:02,600
a lobster diver, was lobster diving off of Cape Cod, and suddenly he felt engulfed, and

351
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,600
he was in total darkness.

352
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,280
At first he thought a great white had hit him, but then he realized it wasn't because

353
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,800
he didn't feel any teeth.

354
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:15,040
A humpback whale had swallowed him, but it didn't take him into his stomach because

355
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,120
it couldn't fit.

356
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,320
So humpback whales don't eat people.

357
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,240
They eat krill in little tiny organisms.

358
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,360
So this whale's probably like, what is this?

359
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:28,520
And he said, but Packard said, I'm done, I'm dead.

360
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,520
That's what he thought.

361
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,680
And the next thing he knew, the whale spit him out.

362
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,600
And people saw this, this huge whale comes up and spits a person out.

363
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,240
You don't see that every day.

364
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,800
And he's taken to the hospital.

365
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:45,160
So in ancient times, if this happened to you, you ended up in Scripture.

366
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:51,280
But in the 21st century, you end up on the Jimmy Kimmel show, like Michael Packard did,

367
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,200
and being held as the modern day Jonah.

368
00:27:54,200 --> 00:28:00,280
So for our literalist friends, yes, you can get engulfed by a whale, maybe not for three

369
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,280
days.

370
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,280
But let me tell you.

371
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:08,240
Being inside of a whale's mouth for 30 seconds would feel like an awfully long time.

372
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,160
Now there's other passages in Scripture, which I describe in my books.

373
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,920
But one of my favorite is in the first book of Corinthians, where the apostle Paul.

374
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:25,320
So now we've moved from the Bronze Age into the Iron Age era of the New Testament, where

375
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:32,240
Paul talks about, I know a man in Christ who ascended to the third heaven.

376
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Somebody came back.

377
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,480
And I'm paraphrasing here.

378
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,440
Throughout Scripture, there are three levels of heaven in the Judeo-Christian religious

379
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,960
philosophy.

380
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,280
In Genesis, the first level is the sky.

381
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,080
Then there is the second level, which is the stars.

382
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,960
And then in Corinthians, the third level is the realm of God.

383
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,680
So essentially, there's different frequencies to the heavens.

384
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:06,560
And many people think that Paul was describing his own near-death experience.

385
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,440
We know from Christian tradition that Paul's name originally was Saul of Tarsus.

386
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,280
And he actually was a Roman citizen.

387
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,680
He was a Hebrew who was a Roman citizen, but he worked with the Romans in hunting down

388
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,800
and persecuting Christians.

389
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:27,200
So he's on his way to Damascus and gets hit by this bright white light and lays there for

390
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,640
three days as if he's dead and then comes out of it.

391
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,360
Paul completely changed.

392
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:44,400
So I believe that Paul was, and I'm not alone in this, many theologians agree that Paul was

393
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,680
writing in the book of Corinthians, the first book of Corinthians, about his own end.

394
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,240
But let's fast forward to the Victorian era.

395
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:59,720
Very Christmas, how many times do we see a different version of Charles Dickens, a Christmas

396
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,200
Carol?

397
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:07,480
And we all know, you know, Ebenezer Scrooge, he's miserable, nasty, and he's mean to Bob

398
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,880
Cratchit, who's got little tiny Tim, and he doesn't want to give money to charity.

399
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,120
And he's just a rotten guy.

400
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:20,800
He's the very epitome of ego, edging God out of materialism, of self-centered behaviors.

401
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,920
And so it's Christmas Eve and he goes home and he encounters the spirit of his former

402
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,520
partner, Jacob Marley, who's covered in all these chains and the chains have money boxes

403
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,520
on them.

404
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,040
And Jacob Marley is like, you know, don't end up like me.

405
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,760
Well, then of course, we all know the story that throughout the night, three different

406
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:46,120
spirits, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, come to visit Ebenezer Scrooge.

407
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:52,000
The ghost of Christmas past shows Ebenezer what he was like when he was a young man.

408
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,080
He was a nice guy.

409
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,680
But then materialism started taking hold.

410
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:06,400
The ghost of Christmas present shows him now he is a completely narcissistic, self-centered,

411
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,600
very selfish person, uncaring, unthinking.

412
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:18,200
So this could be construed as the life review, both the ghost of Christmas past and the ghost

413
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,120
of Christmas present.

414
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:27,320
But then the ghost of Christmas future shows him what happens when he dies and how people

415
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,200
laugh at him there.

416
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,840
They're making fun of him over his body and how when he's buried, it may have well have

417
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,320
been that he'd never even existed.

418
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:44,120
And this could be interpreted as what's known as a DNDE, a distressing near death experience,

419
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,800
also nicknamed a hellish NDE.

420
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,840
And we can get into that more after this.

421
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,080
Yeah, we've had a handful of those on this show too.

422
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,080
Sure.

423
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,880
That ended up having happy endings.

424
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,880
Yeah.

425
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,440
And so did Scrooge when he came out of all this.

426
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,800
He's like, oh my God, I've been a really horrible person.

427
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:11,200
He gives Bob Cratcheter raised, Tiny Tim doesn't die, and then he reunites with his nephew

428
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,680
and his family.

429
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:18,200
Charles Dickens, when he began to examine not just the writer, but the man, this guy

430
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,160
had a very exciting life.

431
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:28,360
He was in several accidents, almost died many times, even walked away from a train wreck

432
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,720
at one point in his life.

433
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:38,720
And myself and Dr. Bruce Grayson, and there's a couple other NDE researchers, we examined

434
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:48,040
this and it appears that the idea of the Christmas Carol, the inspiration for it, very well may

435
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:53,720
have been Charles Dickens' own near death experiences.

436
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:59,320
And what's so fascinating about this, Eric, is they didn't even have a term for it then.

437
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:07,680
And we're talking the 1830s, 1840s when he wrote this, but this phenomenon had been reported

438
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,160
and was known for centuries.

439
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:17,200
I mean, since biblical times, I mean, even the ancient Greeks, Plato in his book, Republic,

440
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,960
writes about this warrior, his name was Ur, and Ur goes into battle, he's killed, and

441
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,480
then the Greeks put him on a funeral pyre, and they're about to torque up the funeral

442
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,640
pyre, he comes back to life.

443
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:34,400
NDE researchers, myself included, believe that Plato was writing about his own NDE,

444
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,920
and here is what's really notable about this.

445
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Ur talks about going through a tunnel into a light.

446
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,720
Ur talks about meeting deceased relatives.

447
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,280
Ur talks about a sense of being connected to everyone and everything.

448
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:58,720
Ur talks about a series of lifetimes, but we must drink from the well of forgetfulness

449
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,440
between lifetimes.

450
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,440
Wait a second.

451
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:07,040
The ancient Greeks did not believe in reincarnation, and he just described reincarnation.

452
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,440
Nor did they believe in going through a tunnel into the light.

453
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,320
They didn't believe the interconnectedness.

454
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,840
They had Hades, and if you were good, you went to the Elysium Fields and got to go be

455
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:24,320
a warrior, if you were lousy, you went to Tartarus and were subjected to all these punishments.

456
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:32,000
What Plato wrote about transcended philosophically anything in the ancient Greek and eventually

457
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,760
Roman religions.

458
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:42,160
We can see from ancient times up to today, NDE's have not only been part of our culture,

459
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,080
they have actually influenced it, including our literature.

460
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,040
Yeah, that's fascinating.

461
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:56,760
As I talk to people about their NDE's, for most people, it seems to be very therapeutic.

462
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,160
If they haven't talked to anybody about it before, there's a point where they've held

463
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,600
it in long enough because they were told they were crazy or something, that they finally

464
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,080
have to let it out and talk about it.

465
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:13,080
In Charles Dickens' time, he may have tried to tell somebody about it, been told he was

466
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,080
crazy.

467
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,000
So this was his therapeutic way of dealing with it.

468
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Exactly.

469
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,680
I mean, let's face it, he was a literary genius.

470
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,000
Yeah, so he wrote about it.

471
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:30,320
He wrote about it because it was fantasy, yet it put it this way.

472
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:38,240
If it wasn't a good book, how come almost 200 years later, we're still making different

473
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:44,520
versions of it, plays, movies, because there's a very important lesson in it.

474
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:52,600
And the lessons that one can glean from a Christmas carol are also the positive after-effects

475
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,560
one can walk away from an NDE with.

476
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,960
You've been jumping all over in history here, okay?

477
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,920
I mean, all over the place, and that's okay.

478
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,760
Welcome to my brain.

479
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:14,920
I want to go back for a second to the New Testament time because you brought up Paul.

480
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,560
And I apologize if you don't have an answer for this.

481
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,600
This is more off the wall here.

482
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:27,320
But have you thought about or done some theorizing on the amount of transfiguration where the

483
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:34,640
story of Jesus taking three of his apostles with him, go into that if you can?

484
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,840
Oh, quite a bit.

485
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:42,240
In fact, my presentation this last year at IAMS, International Association for Near

486
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:47,400
Death Studies, I did go in depth into the transfiguration.

487
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:53,880
Transfiguration is one of the most studied passages in the Bible, and not just by Christian

488
00:36:53,880 --> 00:37:01,520
scholars, but also by Hindu and Buddhist and Jain scholars, and not to mention near-death

489
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,880
experience research scholars.

490
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,400
So Jesus takes a select group of disciples to the top of a mountain.

491
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:17,920
He begins to glow white and mist forms around him that also glows white, and the spirits

492
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:23,200
of the prophet Elijah and Moses appear on either side of him.

493
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:33,400
From a theological standpoint, this is significant because Moses was the giver of the law.

494
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:42,000
Elijah was the executor of the law, and Jesus was the fulfillment of the law.

495
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,200
And that's how it's looked at the laws of God in Scripture.

496
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,240
Also when you study what's known as physical mediumship, and I'm yet to be persuaded by

497
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:58,160
any of the ones I've seen for other reasons, the mist, the glowing whites, some people

498
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,920
could call this ectoplasm, and I don't want to get off into that, but also the United

499
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:09,400
States Air Force has recorded ectoplasm when high-speed jets immediately break the sound

500
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,400
barrier.

501
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:16,760
A white, glistening material forms around the jets, which the United States Air Force

502
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,880
has described as appearing like ectoplasm.

503
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:32,440
So Jesus does this, and then the light recedes, and he appears once again as a mortal, or

504
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,800
no, Jesus.

505
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,320
And there's a discussion afterwards.

506
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,520
Jesus says, don't tell anyone that you saw this until after I've ascended.

507
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,040
And there's the, well, who are you?

508
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:48,560
Some say that you are the prophet Elijah, some say that you are John the Baptist, and

509
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,680
I'm paraphrasing here.

510
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:59,120
And Jesus says to them, Elijah, now we must keep in mind, John the Baptist was Jesus's

511
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:08,080
first cousin, and John came before Jesus to herald the coming of Jesus, and John met his

512
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,840
demise at the court of Herod Antipas.

513
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,560
And Herod Antipas was one of the miserable sons of the miserable Herod the Great, and

514
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,080
there was Salome, and he, you know, Herod wanted her and said, I'll give you anything

515
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,480
if you dance for me.

516
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,720
And so she dances and says, I want the head of John the Baptist, and anyway.

517
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:29,720
So John the Baptist has been executed.

518
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:32,960
I think it's important for people may not be familiar with that.

519
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,640
So the disciples say, some say that you are John the Baptist returned, others say that

520
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,520
you are the prophet Elijah.

521
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:46,880
And Jesus says to them, Elijah has returned, but they did not recognize him.

522
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:52,640
And the scripture says they knew then that he was speaking of John the Baptist.

523
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:58,480
And Elijah lived 800 years earlier than Jesus and his cousin John.

524
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:05,040
So if Elijah has returned, but they did recognize him for he appeared in the form of John the

525
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:12,120
Baptist, this is where progressive Christian scholars, NDE scholars, Hindus and Buddhist

526
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:19,840
scholars believe that this may actually be a reference to reincarnation.

527
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:25,000
And I look and I've said this in interviews and you know, there's the the literalist crowd

528
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,760
that that takes issue with this.

529
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:35,160
But when you study Christian theology in the early centuries of Christianity, it was the

530
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:43,600
third, excuse me, the fourth century in Alexandria, Egypt, the great Christian theologian origin.

531
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:51,080
He wrote that we must all go through a succession of lifetimes and even Satan will eventually

532
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,960
ascend into the higher light with God.

533
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:07,080
So in some secs, SCCTS, sects of Christianity in the early centuries, it is believed that

534
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:12,160
reincarnation was a Christian concept.

535
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:21,480
But in the year was around the year 527 to 530 AD, in what is now Istanbul and Constantinople,

536
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:28,200
which was the capital of the Roman Empire at this time, the emperor Justinian convened

537
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,560
the Fifth Ecumenical Council.

538
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:38,160
And during the Fifth Ecumenical Council, reincarnation was banned as heresy.

539
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:45,760
And it's believed that other passages throughout scripture, which may have referenced reincarnation,

540
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:52,160
were edited out, but they either missed the transfiguration or they left it in for some

541
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,240
purpose were not entirely clear of yet.

542
00:41:55,240 --> 00:42:01,560
So I just wanted to present this because you're asking about this in scripture.

543
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:10,200
There are some people, and this may really cause some reaction from people, that it based

544
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,840
in I was raised Catholic, I was supposed to be a Catholic priest.

545
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:18,480
So I want that to go on record because when I was a kid, I wanted to be a priest.

546
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:25,760
There is some discussion that when Jesus was removed from the cross, that he may not have

547
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:34,080
been dead, or if he did die, he had an NDE and came back.

548
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:42,440
Now I know that that is an affront to the concept of resurrection, or is it?

549
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,680
Think about it.

550
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:51,640
He went into paradise, descended to the depths of negativity, ascended into the light, and

551
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,800
then returned.

552
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,560
I am not saying that I believe this.

553
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,960
I am not saying that I am promoting this.

554
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:08,480
I'm just saying that there are people who don't necessarily believe the traditional

555
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:14,720
view of the resurrection, but offer this as a possibility.

556
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaking of the Bible and NDE's, what about the story of Lazarus?

557
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:26,240
Lazarus is fascinating because Lazarus was a good friend of Jesus who died, and then

558
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:35,360
Jesus weeps when he hears of his friend's death, but then summons all the energy, the

559
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:42,920
God energy, and says, Lazarus, come forth, and the body of Lazarus reanimates and returns

560
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120
from the dead.

561
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:55,920
So in literalist Christian theology, Jesus as the human form of God is able to rise Lazarus

562
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:01,920
from the dead, people that believe that maybe Jesus was some type of highly advanced energy

563
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:09,600
healer, or this could perhaps have been yet another example of a near-death experience.

564
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:16,160
So Scripture is really fascinating when you begin to look at it in different ways.

565
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,000
And please understand, Eric, and for the audience.

566
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,760
I'm not here to attack anyone's beliefs.

567
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:30,840
I am not here to insult or offend anyone, but as scholars and as researchers, when we

568
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:41,920
come across these passages and based in light of the developments that we have discovered

569
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:48,560
in the last 50 years of NDE research, it does tend to get us to look at these a bit differently.

570
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,640
Okay, let's lighten it up just a little bit now.

571
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,480
Yeah, that's kind of how you think.

572
00:44:54,480 --> 00:45:01,600
How did Mark Anthony get from being a wannabe Catholic priest to the psychic lawyer?

573
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,600
It's not unusual for mediums to be drawn to the spiritual.

574
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,600
And I grew up with a mom and dad that could see spirits.

575
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,320
You know, it's about three and a half years old, and I start seeing spirits and mom's

576
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:13,320
like, oh, he's got it.

577
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,400
And dad's like, oh, geez, he's got it.

578
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,240
You know, because my dad knew this would be a difficult life.

579
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:26,440
His own sister, who was a very gifted medium, was horribly persecuted for it.

580
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:33,880
And when I was a teenager, I started thinking, well, I don't know if I really want to do

581
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:40,120
the whole priesthood thing, the celibacy thing, but just being honest to you.

582
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,040
But I wanted to work in a capacity to serve.

583
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,640
And I found law very appealing.

584
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:53,080
I liked the aspect of the research and being able to speak and advocate for people.

585
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,400
And so I kind of, you know, because I thought that the priesthood would have too many rules

586
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,520
and regulations.

587
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,600
So I jumped out of that fire right into the frying pan, you know, frying pan right into

588
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,680
the fire, and I went into law.

589
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,920
And so what had happened, Eric, is I was very close to my parents.

590
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,560
I had a great relationship with them.

591
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,360
And I was in my law office as a senior partner of a firm.

592
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,000
And one day I was thinking about spaghetti.

593
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Makes sense.

594
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,640
Now being of Italian descent, thinking of spaghetti is not an unusual thing.

595
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,920
Yeah, it may have been lunchtime.

596
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,640
It was lunchtime and the phone rang.

597
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,600
My secretary put it through and it was my mom.

598
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,720
She said, honey, I made spaghetti for lunch.

599
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:33,920
Why don't you come over?

600
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,000
Hey, my folks lived about five miles away with the heck, you know, I didn't have that

601
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,880
much on the books that day.

602
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,480
I had the most awesome time with my mom and dad.

603
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,480
And mom looked tired.

604
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,280
And so before I left, she hugged me and kissed me.

605
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,960
And I'll never forget, my mom looked and looked me in the eye and said, Mark, I love

606
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:54,960
you so much.

607
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,600
I'm so glad you've been my son.

608
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,320
And I said, I love you too, mom.

609
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,320
And that just seemed strange.

610
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,480
I remember when I left, I mean, the sound of the door when it closed there, the door

611
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,960
of the house had this, you know, and I just had this ominous.

612
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,400
I mean, it was nice.

613
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:20,120
So the next morning I'm in court and the judge's assistant came and said, Mark, we need you

614
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,160
in chambers right now.

615
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,160
And I knew this wasn't good.

616
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:29,000
And when they handed me the phone, my secretary was on the phone in tears and she said, your

617
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,080
dad called, your mom died.

618
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,840
And she had passed in her sleep very peacefully.

619
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:42,200
Well, I spiraled into this horrible depression, understandably so.

620
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,440
I mean, I lost my mom.

621
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:50,720
And I was driving back from court a couple of weeks later.

622
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:53,120
And one of those waves of grief hit me.

623
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:58,240
And everybody that's listening to this, you know, you know what I'm talking about.

624
00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:01,480
When you lose somebody, you know, there's times you handle it better than others.

625
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,040
Well, I wasn't handling it very well.

626
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,080
And I thought, let me pull over, I shouldn't be driving.

627
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:11,200
And I pulled over in this convenience store parking lot and I'm sitting there alone in

628
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,400
my car or so I thought.

629
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,640
And this flash of light goes off in the car.

630
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,320
And I instinctively turned to the passenger side and I see my mother's silhouette in this

631
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,800
beautiful silver white light.

632
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:32,040
And before I can even begin to process that, her voice fills my head.

633
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,680
And she says, Mark, you've been given the gift of mediumship so that you would not be

634
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,360
crushed by grief.

635
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,440
But now you must help those who are suffering with theirs.

636
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,400
Well, Eric, I'm like now I'm breaking out into a sweat.

637
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,200
And before I could recover from that, the second part of her message came through.

638
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:55,920
She said, Mark, it is your life's mission to help people understand that God exists, that

639
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:02,120
the afterlife, heaven, whatever you want to call it exists, that your souls are mortal

640
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:09,760
living beings, that humans can communicate with souls, and that we will all be reunited

641
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:17,080
when it is your time to leave the material world in the light that you call God.

642
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,680
So I am soaking wet with sweat.

643
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:27,520
I sink back into my seat and all I can say is, OK.

644
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,880
And Eric, I'm thinking, I can't tell anybody this.

645
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,400
I'm the senior partner of a law firm.

646
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,280
They're going to think I'm insane.

647
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,720
I mean, everybody always thought I was a little bit weird anyway because I seemed to know

648
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:43,320
things about people, particularly during jury selection.

649
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,320
So then people knew about my family and all that.

650
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,640
But now this was different.

651
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,960
And I've heard the term spiritually transformative experience.

652
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,800
And normally you think of sitting on a mountaintop in Maui meditating and, oh, I had to do it.

653
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,560
No, mine was the proverbial fire hose right to the face.

654
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,440
And hey, my family is Italian.

655
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,280
What else could it be?

656
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,320
But I'm making a joke there.

657
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,360
But I also realized that we all have a life mission.

658
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,440
Every life matters.

659
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,560
Every life counts.

660
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,960
And that everything happens, I believe, synchronistically.

661
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,760
And it was time for things to change.

662
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:33,600
Within days, I started working on my first book, Never Letting Go.

663
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:39,080
Then I got offered a job in a government agency supervising court operations.

664
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,840
OK, so now I'm transitioning out of running a law firm, which is a real hassle.

665
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,520
That is a seven day a week, 16 hour a day job.

666
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,440
Then my book, Never Letting Go comes out.

667
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:56,160
And I brought on my manager, Rocky, which you probably met her at IONS.

668
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:01,320
And she arranged for my first speaking tour, which took me to New York City.

669
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,000
She got me on a show on MSNBC, which was awesome.

670
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,240
And it was right before Christmas.

671
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:08,480
So we did the whole Rockefeller Center thing.

672
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,800
And then a couple of days later, she arranged for me to speak at Harvard University in Boston.

673
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,720
So here we are, we're walking around Boston with our cups of coffee.

674
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:18,320
It's all decorated for Christmas.

675
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,080
And we're at Harvard campus and my cell phone rings.

676
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,760
And it's my boss, the elected official.

677
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:31,640
And he's of a particular party that isn't real tolerant of people like me.

678
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,120
And he said, I'm catching too much political flak for having a psychic on staff.

679
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,800
And I said, well, the last time I checked, this was the United States of America.

680
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:45,320
And I do have a First Amendment right of my beliefs.

681
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,240
I'm not speaking about them at work.

682
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:50,600
He said, and you're taking too much time off from work.

683
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,760
I said, well, I'm also taking my vacation time.

684
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,440
And I could hear the stress in his voice.

685
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,800
And I said, here, let me make this simple for you.

686
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,200
Please consider this my resignation.

687
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,880
He said, okay, that works.

688
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:09,680
And I hung up and then I go, oh my God, Rocky, I just quit the practice of law.

689
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,640
And she said, Mark, take a look around.

690
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:13,640
Where are you?

691
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,640
I said, Harvard.

692
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,000
She said, what are you doing in an hour?

693
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,920
Giving a talk on the afterlife and near-death experiences and signing copies of my new book.

694
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:30,400
And she said, don't you think you're exactly where you're supposed to be right now?

695
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,040
Very wise.

696
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,160
Let me ask you this.

697
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,280
This is not a show about mediums, but I know people are curious.

698
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:47,680
Anyway, I spoke with someone recently who said they were in their church and their church

699
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,160
had brought in a medium.

700
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,960
And they were using it as a fundraiser and some other things.

701
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:59,840
He said, I was sitting on the front row and the medium came up to me and looked me in

702
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:07,040
the eyes and said, declared that your father from the other side is here.

703
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,560
And he has this message for you and got all dramatic.

704
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,400
And I'm going to translate this message now to you.

705
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,520
And this man says, stop right there.

706
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,840
This is my father sitting right next to me.

707
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,280
He is alive.

708
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,280
And then they got up and left.

709
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:31,680
So the question is, are there some mediums or psychics or whatever term we're using

710
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,040
that we can believe?

711
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,920
And are there some that we cannot?

712
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,920
And how do we know the difference?

713
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,680
Absolutely.

714
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:46,040
First off, when I do public sessions, I'll say there's a spirit coming forward.

715
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:51,000
And first I get their gender, then I get an idea of the connection they may have to whoever

716
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,960
the recipient is.

717
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,200
And I begin to describe that person.

718
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,240
I may see what they look like.

719
00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:03,720
I normally will pick up on how they passed and I'll start giving details.

720
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:07,920
And then I say, does this make sense to anybody and there may be more than one person?

721
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,440
And then I say, OK, now, and then the spirit will continue giving me information until

722
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:18,800
we get to the spirit is somebody that does things like that.

723
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:25,240
They're either charlatans or they're just not very experienced.

724
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:28,160
And there's a huge quantitative difference.

725
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:33,240
I think that if people are going to engage the services of a medium, check his or her

726
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:35,920
website, read their credentials.

727
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:40,560
My website is afterlifefrequency.com, just like my book.

728
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,120
And you can look at my videos.

729
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:49,560
I've been tested in laboratories at the University of Arizona in LA in the United Kingdom.

730
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,080
I've done over 15,000 readings.

731
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,080
I'm an evidential medium.

732
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,920
Being a lawyer, once again, everything in my life led to a reason.

733
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:03,840
I had to have this basis and evidence and science and be credible because I see people

734
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:04,840
all the time.

735
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,520
Oh, your grandmother's here and she loves you.

736
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,520
Well, that's great.

737
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,640
But most people's grandmothers love them.

738
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,000
Oh, and I bet she baked cookies too.

739
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,000
All right.

740
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,880
So you got to start giving you big hugs and big hugs.

741
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,240
Well, here's the difference.

742
00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:24,480
I was doing a reading for this woman recently and her mother's spirit came through and I

743
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:30,720
said, she's talking about a young man in this world who's very close to you and there's

744
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:33,080
something going on with his eyes.

745
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,000
And he looks like he's maybe around seven.

746
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,600
She goes, well, I have a seven-year-old nephew.

747
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,200
She goes, I don't have any children.

748
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:41,640
I'm very close to my nephew.

749
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,640
That's my sister's son.

750
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,600
I said, well, there's something going on with his eyes and eyesight.

751
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,440
She said, that's weird because my sister said he was complaining about blurred vision.

752
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:57,000
I said, the next part of the message is you got to get him to an eye doctor and your mom's

753
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,440
now giving me the song, Tutti Frutti, Oh, Rudy by Little Richard.

754
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,360
She goes, well, that doesn't make any sense at all.

755
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,520
I said, that's fine.

756
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:06,840
But that's what I'm getting.

757
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:14,560
You have to realize we're not on spirits or not on our schedule.

758
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,880
So a month later, this woman contacted me.

759
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,080
She said, Mark, I called my sister, told her about this, and she said, let's definitely

760
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,720
take my son to the eye doctor.

761
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:27,120
We got an appointment and I went with them.

762
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:32,280
And the second we walked into the doctor's office on the radio started playing Tutti

763
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,720
Frutti, Oh, Rudy by Little Richard.

764
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:40,440
Now I think we're way past a billion to one on the odds there.

765
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,240
How did this happen?

766
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:47,240
First off, spirits, the electromagnetic soul came forward.

767
00:56:47,240 --> 00:56:54,040
This is the spirit's grandson, her daughter's son, her other daughter's nephew.

768
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,040
So there's the love connection, love is energy.

769
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,600
She spirits can scan us.

770
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,560
So they scan the little boy, they pick up on energetic anomalies.

771
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,840
He has an issue with his eyes.

772
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:10,600
Also on the quantum level, and I can explain it if you want, but on the electromagnetic

773
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,560
subatomic level, time as we know it doesn't exist.

774
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:20,920
So the spirit was acting out of intervention and guidance.

775
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:29,560
Please take my grandson to the eye doctor and to verify that you're doing the right thing.

776
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:35,760
This spirit could see what you and I call the future, pick up on the electromagnetic

777
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:41,760
wave, which is radio waves, and verify that by the second you got there, Tutti Frutti,

778
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,760
we are Rudy by little Richard is playing.

779
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,520
This is not a coincidence.

780
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,040
This is not hocus pocus or magic.

781
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,200
This is quantum physics.

782
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,040
And when you look at Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, you can take a lifetime to

783
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,360
understand that.

784
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,680
We know that everything's made of molecules, which in turn are made of electrons, protons,

785
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:06,640
atoms, which are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and they in turn are on the

786
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:14,160
subatomic level made of quanta, which is electromagnetic energy.

787
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:19,200
And quantum physicists, since the time of Albert Einstein, Max Planck, all the way up

788
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:26,880
to Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmar theorize that what you and I consider to be time doesn't

789
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:33,680
exist, which is why spirits can oftentimes and do bring up future events.

790
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,520
And that's what happened here.

791
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:43,520
So when you deal with a medium who presents evidence, you may not always understand everything

792
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,320
that comes through immediately.

793
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,160
A lot of it you will, but not everything you do.

794
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,200
And therein lies the difference.

795
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:57,640
Is a credible medium is going to be based in evidence and not jump to conclusions.

796
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaking of quantum physics, you mentioned something.

797
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,000
This is going to be my last question today.

798
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,760
You mentioned just a second ago, love is energy.

799
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,720
Please explain that.

800
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,840
Well, think about your relationships with the people you love.

801
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:19,240
They can be exhausting, particularly if you have teenagers.

802
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,040
But love is energy.

803
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,800
And the thing about love, you may not be able to quantify it.

804
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,640
You can't put it under a microscope.

805
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:34,520
But love is the energy that makes life worth living.

806
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:42,600
And so many of us who've had near-death experiences describe God as love, this pure, absolute love.

807
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:49,560
Now, as a former criminal defense attorney, I can assure you that very many people confuse

808
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,360
lust with love.

809
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,680
All right, lust is, you know, we're dealing with our lower red chakra.

810
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,880
And it's like, oh, I got to have this particular person.

811
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:03,400
And of course, in the initial phases of attraction, there's always something of that.

812
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:11,280
But true love is an energetic bond that you realize that you're interlinked.

813
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:20,640
That's why, like when my mother's father died, at that precise moment, she woke up and there

814
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:30,800
he was, standing, or his spirit standing in her bedroom, 1200 miles from where he died.

815
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,120
That's love.

816
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,120
That's energy.

817
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,800
And you may not be able to see it, but you can feel it.

818
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:43,840
Think about in the electromagnetic spectrum, what we can see is visible light.

819
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:52,160
We can't see x-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, microwaves, cosmic waves.

820
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:58,680
I mean, there's so much that, in other words, if you held up a yardstick and said, this

821
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:08,360
is the electromagnetic spectrum, then go to one tiny line and that is visible light.

822
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,000
And that's all that we can see in that spectrum.

823
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,320
The rest of it, we can't.

824
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:19,240
And let's face it, just because we can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there.

825
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:25,000
And I like to, when I use the term electromagnetic sol, my friend and colleague, Dr. Gary Schwartz,

826
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:33,400
said that, Mark, let me add to the electromagnetic sol and say that sol stands for source of

827
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,760
universal love.

828
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:42,760
That's beautiful.

829
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,760
