00:02:54,159 in the book are willing to tell 65 00:02:59,660 --> 00:02:57,690 definitely make a great contribution to 66 00:03:02,210 --> 00:02:59,670 ahem the mystery of death and I suppose 67 00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:02,220 spirit allies for lack of a better label 68 00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:04,920 and to kick this off here tell us about 69 00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:07,080 the road to writing this book because I 70 00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:08,670 do think it's a great idea and I 71 00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,680 understand this was a pretty in-depth 72 00:03:15,490 --> 00:03:13,200 exploration with way more interviews 73 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:15,500 that didn't make the cut than did right 74 00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:18,450 yeah I probably talked to 200 Docs and 75 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,390 lots and lots of stories but the stories 76 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:23,040 I wanted to include were the ones that 77 00:03:27,980 --> 00:03:25,290 gave me goosebumps or made me tear up 78 00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:27,990 not from sadness but more from emotion 79 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:31,080 and so if I listen to a doc story at 5 80 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,570 a.m. in the morning and get goosebumps 81 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:34,560 that's a story that was going in the 82 00:03:39,710 --> 00:03:36,690 book and so there are about 30 of those 83 00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:39,720 26 Doc's and maybe 30 stories you know 84 00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:42,390 I'm just an ordinary doc I see regular 85 00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:43,980 patients I'm an internist and we know 86 00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:46,830 annoy for over 30 years I'm not a book 87 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:49,620 writer I'm not a journalist at all but 88 00:03:53,810 --> 00:03:52,650 something just got to me when I started 89 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:53,820 to hear some of these stories and 90 00:03:57,950 --> 00:03:55,530 doctors don't really talk about these 91 00:04:00,260 --> 00:03:57,960 kinds of things they talk about their 92 00:04:02,210 --> 00:04:00,270 golf game or their potassium levels or 93 00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:02,220 who will in the renal failure who died 94 00:04:06,110 --> 00:04:04,320 or whatever these are the kind of things 95 00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:06,120 that we don't talk about when I started 96 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:07,560 hearing some of these stories I was 97 00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:11,010 really taken back because these are very 98 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:14,790 moving experiences that doctors have and 99 00:04:19,159 --> 00:04:17,010 I discovered that the docs don't like to 100 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:19,169 talk about him nor did I because we were 101 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:21,930 all afraid that if we talked about these 102 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:23,730 stories in public people would think 103 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,530 we're crazy and not want to come to a 104 00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:27,360 doctor who has a spiritual or a 105 00:04:32,810 --> 00:04:30,020 premonition or a dream kind of a story 106 00:04:35,210 --> 00:04:32,820 but the doctors did share them and 107 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:35,220 ultimately they agreed and I was able to 108 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:37,530 put their names on every story except 109 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,210 for one one doctor had an experience 110 00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:41,040 that involves his own illness and he 111 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:42,510 didn't want the illness to be revealed 112 00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:45,090 anyone and I think the reason that they 113 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,070 shared these stories at the risk of 114 00:04:50,570 --> 00:04:49,440 their careers was because of what I 115 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:50,580 called them in the book and that is 116 00:04:55,790 --> 00:04:53,370 sappy do-gooders most doctors least the 117 00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:55,800 ones that I'm working with are trying to 118 00:05:00,740 --> 00:04:57,900 help the world trying to save lives 119 00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:00,750 trying to do some good for people every 120 00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:02,790 single day and I think they realized 121 00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:04,710 that these experiences and these stories 122 00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:06,840 would give people hope and peace and 123 00:05:10,130 --> 00:05:08,430 it's kind of a crazy world out there and 124 00:05:11,489 --> 00:05:10,140 I think they recognize that if they 125 00:05:13,499 --> 00:05:11,499 could help a couple P 126 00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:13,509 with the story and help them realize 127 00:05:17,489 --> 00:05:14,830 that there's something else out there 128 00:05:18,929 --> 00:05:17,499 that there's life after this life that 129 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:18,939 they would accomplish their goal and 130 00:05:22,979 --> 00:05:20,889 they would risk their careers to do that 131 00:05:25,229 --> 00:05:22,989 hmm I think it's pretty noble and like I 132 00:05:27,269 --> 00:05:25,239 said all the doctors except for one 133 00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:27,279 we're able to put their names on to 134 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:29,589 their stories well it is Noble I mean 135 00:05:34,949 --> 00:05:32,110 words like woowoo and pseudoscience 136 00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:34,959 these terms they really do hurt our 137 00:05:40,889 --> 00:05:37,449 ability to share our own experiences 138 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:40,899 especially when there's a career at risk 139 00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:43,089 and it's kind of sad because I do think 140 00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:46,300 these experiences are kind of baked into 141 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:48,969 reality that you get just enough they 142 00:05:54,719 --> 00:05:51,610 almost seem perfectly engineered to show 143 00:05:57,089 --> 00:05:54,729 you just enough without giving you the 144 00:05:58,649 --> 00:05:57,099 whole keys of the castle and the fact 145 00:06:01,919 --> 00:05:58,659 that we don't talk about them really 146 00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:01,929 hurts that baked-in mechanism from doing 147 00:06:05,729 --> 00:06:03,339 what I think it's kind of supposed to do 148 00:06:07,469 --> 00:06:05,739 I think you're right and I think Gila 149 00:06:09,239 --> 00:06:07,479 doctors and the medical profession is 150 00:06:11,069 --> 00:06:09,249 realizing that and I think more and more 151 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:11,079 were reading about these kinds of things 152 00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:13,329 and one of the ER Doc's that I was 153 00:06:16,589 --> 00:06:14,860 talking with was telling me that it's 154 00:06:17,969 --> 00:06:16,599 now in their literature that these kinds 155 00:06:19,739 --> 00:06:17,979 of experiences especially in the 156 00:06:22,290 --> 00:06:19,749 emergency room where people have 157 00:06:23,779 --> 00:06:22,300 life-threatening emergencies we're 158 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:23,789 seeing more and more stories about 159 00:06:29,249 --> 00:06:26,800 near-death experiences and visions and 160 00:06:31,829 --> 00:06:29,259 things like that so I think it's coming 161 00:06:33,299 --> 00:06:31,839 out into the open and I'm glad it is one 162 00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:33,309 of the things that happened to the docs 163 00:06:37,469 --> 00:06:34,929 and myself after we wrote these stories 164 00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,479 and publish the book was that people 165 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:39,759 came out and said thank you for doing 166 00:06:43,379 --> 00:06:40,209 this 167 00:06:45,179 --> 00:06:43,389 we had no criticism no one left my 168 00:06:45,629 --> 00:06:45,189 practice because they thought I was 169 00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:45,639 weird 170 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:47,529 and no one left any of the doctors 171 00:06:51,989 --> 00:06:50,050 practices and their practices are still 172 00:06:54,509 --> 00:06:51,999 doing well I think we were really 173 00:06:56,159 --> 00:06:54,519 surprised that when people read these 174 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:56,169 stories and I've been speaking quite a 175 00:06:59,819 --> 00:06:57,759 bit and when people hear the stories 176 00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:59,829 they say thank you for bringing this out 177 00:07:04,259 --> 00:07:01,599 because I've had a story like that too 178 00:07:06,029 --> 00:07:04,269 and I'm convinced that most people and 179 00:07:08,339 --> 00:07:06,039 most families have had some unusual 180 00:07:10,619 --> 00:07:08,349 stories some unusual incidences that 181 00:07:12,419 --> 00:07:10,629 they have been afraid to share and when 182 00:07:15,119 --> 00:07:12,429 they hear that these doctors have had 183 00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:15,129 similar experiences they share them too 184 00:07:18,509 --> 00:07:16,989 and I've experienced that in my exam 185 00:07:19,829 --> 00:07:18,519 rooms other places where people are 186 00:07:22,829 --> 00:07:19,839 sharing their stories which i think is 187 00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:22,839 pretty neat it is neat and it's a 188 00:07:26,910 --> 00:07:25,150 curious thing why our culture is so 189 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:26,920 in a way to discourage people from 190 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:28,810 talking about these experiences 191 00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:31,170 especially that this culture of fear 192 00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:33,760 exists somewhere I guess it's injected 193 00:07:37,710 --> 00:07:35,710 into the communities that would have 194 00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:37,720 this sort of insight and keep them from 195 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:40,030 sharing but the positive aspect is that 196 00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:42,490 it really is just a perception however 197 00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:44,110 it's arrived at because when you 198 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:46,150 actually come out and put yourself out 199 00:07:51,210 --> 00:07:48,310 there which is always a risk yeah you 200 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:51,220 really aren't disbarred from the medical 201 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:52,810 profession so that's a beautiful thing 202 00:07:59,250 --> 00:07:56,530 and your book is broken down into four 203 00:08:01,850 --> 00:07:59,260 categories divine intervention death in 204 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:01,860 the afterlife miraculous healing and 205 00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:05,110 prayer and of these the death and the 206 00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:06,910 afterlife section was definitely a 207 00:08:10,140 --> 00:08:08,350 favorite of mine because when people 208 00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:10,150 actually died in the care of a doctor 209 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:12,220 and are brought back then they have 210 00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:13,570 these details about their own 211 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:16,030 resuscitation often seen it from a 212 00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:18,610 vantage point that is above the room are 213 00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:20,230 different from where their body is I 214 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:23,350 mean that is pretty fascinating it 215 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:25,210 really is and that's one of the stories 216 00:08:29,580 --> 00:08:26,890 what got me involved with this book 217 00:08:31,770 --> 00:08:29,590 because one of my good friends Dave 218 00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:31,780 mochel ran up to me on the floor in the 219 00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:34,030 hospital he grabbed my arm and said it's 220 00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:35,440 cut off could I tell you this incredible 221 00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:36,550 story that happened to our mutual 222 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:39,340 patient and I said okay Dave tell me the 223 00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:40,870 story and he said well I can't tell it 224 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:42,550 to you here because some might hear me 225 00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:45,370 so we went into an empty patient room 226 00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:48,220 and he told me about our mutual patient 227 00:08:52,290 --> 00:08:50,200 mary who had a ankle problem he was 228 00:08:53,550 --> 00:08:52,300 going to operate on her ankle and as 229 00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:53,560 they were putting her to sleep and give 230 00:08:56,730 --> 00:08:55,000 her in the pre-op antibiotics she 231 00:08:57,780 --> 00:08:56,740 arrested because of the antibiotic it 232 00:09:01,080 --> 00:08:57,790 was found out later 233 00:09:02,850 --> 00:09:01,090 and so flatlined no pulse no respiration 234 00:09:04,980 --> 00:09:02,860 no response to pain she was basically 235 00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:04,990 dead and they called the code in the ER 236 00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:07,360 and when that happens everyone rushes in 237 00:09:11,610 --> 00:09:09,700 from the ORS next door one of the people 238 00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:11,620 that rushed in was a tech that had 239 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:13,480 pretty bright red hair underneath his 240 00:09:17,370 --> 00:09:14,890 operating room cap and he started to do 241 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:17,380 CPR and the compressions weren't 242 00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:19,450 adequate enough to provide a pulse and 243 00:09:22,890 --> 00:09:21,220 dr. bocal recognized that and he was in 244 00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:22,900 charge of the code so since the code is 245 00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:24,700 really not a very polite affair it's a 246 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:26,260 life and death situation he actually 247 00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:28,210 pushed to the side he stumbled away and 248 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:30,190 dr. mochel then took over and started to 249 00:09:35,070 --> 00:09:32,650 do the CPR and did it ethical love that 250 00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:35,080 with some medications and the CPR she 251 00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:37,030 came back but wasn't conscious until the 252 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:38,590 next day 253 00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:40,570 so the cardiologist took over and they 254 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:42,070 recognized that it was the antibiotic 255 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:44,050 that caused her an arrest and after a 256 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:45,850 couple days she recovered totally it was 257 00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:47,890 ready to go back home and doctor mochel 258 00:09:51,270 --> 00:09:49,360 wanted to give her some final discharge 259 00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:51,280 instructions and while he was doing that 260 00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:53,920 Mary interrupted him and she said thank 261 00:09:57,420 --> 00:09:55,660 you for saving my life and dr. mogul is 262 00:09:58,950 --> 00:09:57,430 a pretty humble guy and he simply said 263 00:10:01,380 --> 00:09:58,960 well that was a team effort everyone 264 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:01,390 pitched in and she said no no I saw you 265 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:03,130 push that guy with the red hair aside 266 00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:05,830 and I saw you'd start the CPR but that 267 00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:07,960 point dr. McCall wasn't quite sure what 268 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:10,390 to say he sat down because he had weak 269 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:13,510 knees and she went on to tell him all 270 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:15,550 the details of the code and he said well 271 00:10:20,070 --> 00:10:18,010 how could you have known that and she 272 00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:20,080 said when I arrested I rose up to the 273 00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:22,060 top of the room and I was able to see 274 00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:23,950 everything that happened in the code I 275 00:10:28,110 --> 00:10:26,620 was able to see you start the CPR I was 276 00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:28,120 able to see the nurses and then she 277 00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:30,190 described what had happened in the exact 278 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:32,830 detail and she said when I was there my 279 00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:34,390 grandmother came to me who had been dead 280 00:10:38,070 --> 00:10:36,040 for a long time and told me it was not 281 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:38,080 my time to go that I'd have to come back 282 00:10:42,450 --> 00:10:40,450 but if I was a good and kind person 283 00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:42,460 she'd save a place for me in heaven and 284 00:10:47,130 --> 00:10:45,520 so Mary was really not the kindest 285 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:47,140 person in the world before this you 286 00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:49,240 would always dread having her come into 287 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:50,710 your exam room because she'd always have 288 00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:52,570 something bad to say like gee how come 289 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:54,100 you're late there why didn't you fill my 290 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:55,650 prescription or things like that 291 00:11:00,420 --> 00:10:58,090 afterwards she was the nicest and 292 00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:00,430 kindest person she'd bake us cookies and 293 00:11:04,290 --> 00:11:02,680 she'd do all kinds of nice things for 294 00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:04,300 everyone that she met and she was able 295 00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:05,740 to help her widowed father a great deal 296 00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:07,840 and so I called the story 297 00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:10,270 Mary's Christmas Carol because it was 298 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:12,550 like the Scrooge story where Scrooge 299 00:11:16,830 --> 00:11:13,930 came back and was a totally different 300 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:16,840 person and just like Mary was so when 301 00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:19,450 dr. mochel heard this story he had to 302 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:21,910 tell me because was our patient I asked 303 00:11:25,710 --> 00:11:23,770 him who he told the story to before and 304 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:25,720 he said just my wife no one else has 305 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:27,130 learned about this story because they 306 00:11:31,710 --> 00:11:29,920 think it was too crazy and so I finally 307 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:31,720 was able to convince him to help me 308 00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:33,610 publish the story but that was what got 309 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:36,160 me started I think with the book and and 310 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,170 the recalled stories that happened to 311 00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:40,720 fall into my lap at the same time made 312 00:11:44,190 --> 00:11:42,790 me decide to go ahead and publish that 313 00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:44,200 because that was just such an incredible 314 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:45,940 story from one of the most conservative 315 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:48,490 straight-arrow country doctors that I 316 00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:50,770 can think of dr. mogul and he couldn't 317 00:11:54,460 --> 00:11:52,550 explain this scientifically he tried 318 00:11:57,699 --> 00:11:54,470 it's best but this was something just 319 00:12:00,130 --> 00:11:57,709 beyond his explanation mm-hmm yes and I 320 00:12:02,530 --> 00:12:00,140 love that you did give the name Mary's 321 00:12:04,810 --> 00:12:02,540 Christmas Carol and draw that Scrooge 322 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:04,820 analogy because it is so true and that 323 00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:07,490 happens in a lot of cases that people 324 00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:10,190 come away from these things transformed 325 00:12:14,980 --> 00:12:12,950 and you know you can kind of see how 326 00:12:16,630 --> 00:12:14,990 that would be given the fact that you're 327 00:12:19,329 --> 00:12:16,640 having a near-death experience and 328 00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:19,339 you're now lucky to be alive but it's 329 00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:20,570 just kind of interesting that people 330 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:23,870 have that universal tilt towards a 331 00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:26,720 positive polarity afterwards that's true 332 00:12:30,730 --> 00:12:28,760 and you know I'm a busy doc I've got a 333 00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:30,740 bunch of kids to raise and so I never 334 00:12:35,050 --> 00:12:32,630 read very many stories about near-death 335 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:35,060 experiences so after right in the book I 336 00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:37,130 realized that it's fairly common and 337 00:12:41,079 --> 00:12:39,020 it's in the literature that's very 338 00:12:43,090 --> 00:12:41,089 similar to the way Mary described it so 339 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:43,100 I was surprised and pleased to see that 340 00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,040 this is not an unusual circumstance 341 00:12:50,110 --> 00:12:47,839 mm-hmm and how common would you say that 342 00:12:52,780 --> 00:12:50,120 Mary's situation is it is my favorite 343 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:52,790 story in the book but how much data do 344 00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:54,890 we have collected I mean not a lot is 345 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:56,360 there any way to tell what kind of 346 00:13:00,250 --> 00:12:58,610 percentage of people who undergo a 347 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:00,260 resuscitation have this sort of 348 00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:03,050 experience I don't know if we have any 349 00:13:08,590 --> 00:13:05,480 statistics but I think many Doc's and 350 00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:08,600 many authors are collecting data and 351 00:13:12,819 --> 00:13:11,000 information awesomeness so there's some 352 00:13:14,590 --> 00:13:12,829 repositories in the country where we're 353 00:13:16,569 --> 00:13:14,600 collecting more and more information 354 00:13:18,910 --> 00:13:16,579 about these and other kinds of medical 355 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,920 miracles that you simply cannot explain 356 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:20,959 and I think it's good that they're doing 357 00:13:26,650 --> 00:13:24,410 that it is good and I guess one question 358 00:13:29,530 --> 00:13:26,660 I always have to try to hone in on that 359 00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:29,540 information is when we're declared dead 360 00:13:35,410 --> 00:13:32,000 it's usually related to cease brain 361 00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:35,420 activity or the heart stopping does one 362 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:37,430 seem to be a better catalyst for an 363 00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:39,649 experience than the other when a person 364 00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:41,350 is brought back anything like that I 365 00:13:47,380 --> 00:13:45,230 don't know I know in Mary's case we had 366 00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:47,390 no way of determining what her brain 367 00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:49,880 function was that would require EEG and 368 00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:51,680 things like that but we can see her 369 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:53,870 cardiac function so I think most of the 370 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:55,250 time when you have a situations like 371 00:13:59,920 --> 00:13:57,440 this I think it's mostly the heart that 372 00:14:02,110 --> 00:13:59,930 we recognize has stopped and then 373 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:02,120 there's no bodily function that we can 374 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:04,250 determine there's no response to pain or 375 00:14:07,749 --> 00:14:05,360 anything else so 376 00:14:09,970 --> 00:14:07,759 her case the brain wasn't dead but it 377 00:14:12,429 --> 00:14:09,980 was approaching that and after the brain 378 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:12,439 is not simple come back I think again 379 00:14:15,819 --> 00:14:13,850 most of the time it's gonna be a cardiac 380 00:14:16,929 --> 00:14:15,829 arrest that we recognize simply because 381 00:14:19,059 --> 00:14:16,939 we don't have a person hooked up to an 382 00:14:21,429 --> 00:14:19,069 EEG machine mm-hmm 383 00:14:22,660 --> 00:14:21,439 fair enough another thing that's 384 00:14:25,449 --> 00:14:22,670 interesting to me about these 385 00:14:28,569 --> 00:14:25,459 experiences is that it doesn't seem like 386 00:14:30,999 --> 00:14:28,579 it's a choice to come back or not in 387 00:14:32,530 --> 00:14:31,009 terms of you know in those moments of 388 00:14:34,989 --> 00:14:32,540 being between the worlds 389 00:14:37,179 --> 00:14:34,999 some people come back and it doesn't 390 00:14:39,429 --> 00:14:37,189 seem like the choices offered to them 391 00:14:42,609 --> 00:14:39,439 necessarily on that other side but the 392 00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:42,619 entities they encounter oftentimes dunno 393 00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:45,110 they often say hey you know it's great 394 00:14:50,019 --> 00:14:47,660 to see you I'll save you a place like 395 00:14:51,579 --> 00:14:50,029 you mentioned in Mary's case or you know 396 00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:51,589 work you know you're gonna have to go 397 00:14:55,449 --> 00:14:53,420 back for a while it's not your time 398 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:55,459 these sorts of things obviously they 399 00:14:59,410 --> 00:14:57,290 come to the situation with the sort of 400 00:15:01,949 --> 00:14:59,420 insight and wisdom that the person 401 00:15:04,419 --> 00:15:01,959 doesn't have in their kind of chaotic 402 00:15:06,819 --> 00:15:04,429 discombobulated state going between the 403 00:15:08,650 --> 00:15:06,829 worlds but that's another thing that I 404 00:15:10,689 --> 00:15:08,660 just think is interesting is it seems to 405 00:15:13,329 --> 00:15:10,699 be kind of up to chance or up to 406 00:15:15,189 --> 00:15:13,339 basically the people in your position as 407 00:15:18,909 --> 00:15:15,199 to if they come back or not and they 408 00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:18,919 really have no say in most cases we've 409 00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:21,230 had some ducks that have had near-death 410 00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:23,660 experiences that have had the choice of 411 00:15:28,659 --> 00:15:25,809 whether they stay or whether they leave 412 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:28,669 one that comes to mind was a family 413 00:15:33,710 --> 00:15:31,620 practice doc Bob Cornell 414 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:33,720 so we had a couple of issues switched 415 00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:36,330 over to the phone but you were just 416 00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:39,120 about to maybe tell a story that did 417 00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:41,430 offer a situation where a person had 418 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:43,320 some kind of choice or autonomy over 419 00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:46,050 their choice to stay or go yeah there's 420 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:48,630 a interesting story from John Method who 421 00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:50,730 was the gynecologist a good friend and 422 00:15:55,970 --> 00:15:53,070 he was good friends with a family 423 00:15:58,910 --> 00:15:55,980 practice doctor he did consults for Bob 424 00:16:00,440 --> 00:15:58,920 Cornell they would meet in the doctors 425 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:00,450 lounge which is a great place to meet in 426 00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:01,530 the morning because they're wonderful 427 00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:03,390 things there for doctors like doughnuts 428 00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:05,580 and coffee and so they'd meet every 429 00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:07,110 morning and they'd talk about their 430 00:16:10,490 --> 00:16:08,640 favorite things and Bob Cornell's 431 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:10,500 favorite thing beside his family was 432 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:12,720 fishing and so Bob would talk about 433 00:16:17,270 --> 00:16:15,330 fishing and he pretty much knew every 434 00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:17,280 lure that needed to be used in every 435 00:16:20,780 --> 00:16:18,990 Lake and every body of water in the 436 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:20,790 United States in some foreign countries 437 00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:22,530 too he was really an avid fisherman they 438 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:24,870 loved fishing and so they would talk 439 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:26,730 about fishing almost every time they got 440 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:28,290 together in the morning before rounds 441 00:16:32,330 --> 00:16:31,050 and one day John mesud went to the 442 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:32,340 factors lounge and didn't see Bob 443 00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:34,050 Cornell there and then he found out that 444 00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:36,270 he had a massive stroke he was in the 445 00:16:42,530 --> 00:16:37,110 ICU 446 00:16:44,690 --> 00:16:42,540 and he was in a deep coma unresponsive 447 00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:44,700 and he talked with the intensivists 448 00:16:48,620 --> 00:16:45,990 there was taking care of him and 449 00:16:49,820 --> 00:16:48,630 intensivist told him that Bob had a such 450 00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:49,830 a massive stroke that he probably 451 00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:51,540 wouldn't come back they thought he was 452 00:16:54,650 --> 00:16:53,190 pretty close to being brain dead and 453 00:16:56,540 --> 00:16:54,660 that they were going to give him a 454 00:16:58,490 --> 00:16:56,550 couple days to see what happened and if 455 00:16:59,900 --> 00:16:58,500 he didn't come back in three days they 456 00:17:03,320 --> 00:16:59,910 were going to pull the plug and let him 457 00:17:05,810 --> 00:17:03,330 go and so meza never realized how close 458 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:05,820 they had become and how much he was 459 00:17:09,949 --> 00:17:08,610 upset about Bob Cornell stroke and he 460 00:17:11,570 --> 00:17:09,959 didn't really know what to do it felt 461 00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:11,580 pretty hopeless and you've probably had 462 00:17:15,050 --> 00:17:13,320 situations where you have a situation 463 00:17:16,730 --> 00:17:15,060 you'd like to do something but you don't 464 00:17:19,910 --> 00:17:16,740 know what to do and you really can't do 465 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:19,920 anything so doctor Meza decided that he 466 00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:22,410 would do something real strange and he 467 00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:24,390 decided to move his chair close to Bob's 468 00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:27,300 face he closed the curtain on a little 469 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:29,460 cubicle where he's located and he 470 00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:31,170 started to tell him stories he was quiet 471 00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:32,760 at first then a little bit louder 472 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:33,900 because he didn't want anyone to hear 473 00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:36,090 how many told my story about fishing in 474 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:37,620 the Mackenzie River which is in Canada 475 00:17:42,530 --> 00:17:41,010 flying in and a float plane and catching 476 00:17:44,210 --> 00:17:42,540 as many Grayling's as they could 477 00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:44,220 possibly imagine about a hundred I think 478 00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,220 they caught one day 479 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:47,679 there was a catch in relation every day 480 00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:49,330 you would tell more of that story about 481 00:17:54,810 --> 00:17:52,150 the McKenzie River fishing episode and 482 00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:54,820 it was really quite a good story and his 483 00:17:58,500 --> 00:17:56,620 wife thought he was crazy because why 484 00:18:00,210 --> 00:17:58,510 would he be telling a story to a person 485 00:18:02,850 --> 00:18:00,220 who was brain-dead and was going to be 486 00:18:05,010 --> 00:18:02,860 unplugged in a couple days well the 487 00:18:07,649 --> 00:18:05,020 third day when it was time for Bob 488 00:18:09,840 -->

thought maybe what was 611 00:22:50,610 --> 00:22:46,630 happening there is he was basically dead 612 00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:50,620 and these spirits came to him to take 613 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:54,310 him back he recovered and lived but dr. 614 00:22:57,630 --> 00:22:56,170 bull Hoffa was saying that in the ER 615 00:23:00,540 --> 00:22:57,640 literature this is another unusual 616 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:00,550 circumstance where people have passed to 617 00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:02,770 the other side and then are brought back 618 00:23:07,170 --> 00:23:05,500 they have visions or see people that 619 00:23:09,390 --> 00:23:07,180 come presumably to take them to heaven 620 00:23:11,610 --> 00:23:09,400 or take them to wherever you go when you 621 00:23:13,470 --> 00:23:11,620 pass through this life yeah so that was 622 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:13,480 kind of a interesting story for me to 623 00:23:18,150 --> 00:23:16,450 hear yeah like what is that about it's 624 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:18,160 so weird I'm sure you've had a lot of 625 00:23:21,540 --> 00:23:19,690 similar stories that were left on the 626 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:21,550 cutting-room floor but when you go over 627 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:23,770 the ones that contain the meeting of 628 00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:26,170 dead relatives are there factors that 629 00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:29,200 repeat more often than not are there any 630 00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:30,790 times where they're given information 631 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:32,830 about the purpose of life or what's on 632 00:23:36,270 --> 00:23:34,690 the other side in that spirit realm is 633 00:23:38,490 --> 00:23:36,280 there any kind of pattern to it would 634 00:23:41,310 --> 00:23:38,500 you say I don't know if there's any 635 00:23:43,950 --> 00:23:41,320 pattern to it I think the relatives that 636 00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:43,960 come back try to provide some counseling 637 00:23:48,210 --> 00:23:46,510 some comfort and I don't know if anyone 638 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:48,220 and at least the stories that we have 639 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:52,090 were anything about advice and so forth 640 00:23:56,730 --> 00:23:55,090 there's one that I particularly like the 641 00:23:57,150 --> 00:23:56,740 grandma Hamlin story to remember that 642 00:24:02,970 --> 00:23:57,160 one 643 00:24:05,070 --> 00:24:02,980 gynecology friends Jack Heisler actually 644 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:05,080 delivered two of our children so he's 645 00:24:08,370 --> 00:24:06,850 been pretty active in the community has 646 00:24:09,930 --> 00:24:08,380 delivered thousands and thousands of 647 00:24:12,810 --> 00:24:09,940 kids I'm sure in this lifetime in his 648 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:12,820 career and his wife they had I think 649 00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:14,530 eight children his wife was delivering 650 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:17,260 their fifth child and during the 651 00:24:21,450 --> 00:24:19,090 delivery she ran into troubles and 652 00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:21,460 despite dr. Heisler who's a gynecologist 653 00:24:25,410 --> 00:24:23,140 and his partner who was doing the 654 00:24:26,350 --> 00:24:25,420 delivery gram O'Hanlon who was a midwife 655 00:24:29,230 --> 00:24:26,360 came into the 656 00:24:31,450 --> 00:24:29,240 room and save Jones life and the story 657 00:24:33,580 --> 00:24:31,460 is something like this 658 00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:33,590 Graham O'Hanlon came from Ireland and 659 00:24:38,650 --> 00:24:36,590 was a midwife in Chicagoland area for 660 00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:38,660 quite some time she was kind of the 661 00:24:42,610 --> 00:24:40,310 spiritual leader of the family every 662 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:42,620 time that someone couldn't pay she would 663 00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:44,690 do it for free she would take money and 664 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:46,880 food to people that were poor in the 665 00:24:52,180 --> 00:24:49,760 city and she was an example of a great 666 00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:52,190 spirit to everyone she ultimately got 667 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:54,350 older and had to retire and when she did 668 00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:57,410 she lived with Joan's mother when Joan 669 00:25:01,060 --> 00:24:59,210 was a little girl and Joan would say if 670 00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:01,070 I got in trouble with my mother if I 671 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:02,960 made it to Grandma Hanlan's lap I'd be 672 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:06,530 safe and so they became incredibly good 673 00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:08,450 friends they had a phenomenal love and a 674 00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:10,370 friendship for each other as a grandma 675 00:25:16,180 --> 00:25:13,550 and Joan and so when John was delivering 676 00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:16,190 the baby the baby came out okay 677 00:25:19,270 --> 00:25:17,750 everything was fine but afterwards she 678 00:25:21,580 --> 00:25:19,280 started to experience some pain with the 679 00:25:23,380 --> 00:25:21,590 afterbirth and so forth so he decided to 680 00:25:25,180 --> 00:25:23,390 give her a drug called tri Lane which 681 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:25,190 was administered by mask and it puts a 682 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:27,290 person into a deep sleep and so they 683 00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:28,850 were about ready to put the mask of the 684 00:25:32,830 --> 00:25:30,830 Tri Lane over Jones faced allow her to 685 00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:32,840 get some relief from the pain and put 686 00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:34,910 her to sleep and Grandma Helen walked 687 00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:36,980 into the room with her typical polkadot 688 00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:39,470 dress and a white sweater vest white 689 00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:41,600 hair up in a bun and lady shoes and the 690 00:25:45,370 --> 00:25:43,520 foot of bed and shook her head that Joan 691 00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:45,380 should not use to take the trilane and 692 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:47,840 Joan didn't know why but then she pushed 693 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:49,970 to the side and refused to take it well 694 00:25:53,380 --> 00:25:51,890 no one realized that Joan had eaten a 695 00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:53,390 large meal right before she went into 696 00:25:58,060 --> 00:25:55,790 labor in about 30 seconds or so after 697 00:26:00,250 --> 00:25:58,070 she pushed the trialing away she vomited 698 00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:00,260 the entire meal had she been in the deep 699 00:26:03,820 --> 00:26:01,910 sleep she would have vomited and 700 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:03,830 probably aspirated may have died from an 701 00:26:09,790 --> 00:26:07,490 aspiration so Joan says that she made it 702 00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:09,800 to Grandma hanlin's lap one last time 703 00:26:15,490 --> 00:26:12,350 there love having transcended time and 704 00:26:18,340 --> 00:26:15,500 all eternity because grandma Hammond had 705 00:26:20,770 --> 00:26:18,350 died 22 years before that mm-hmm 706 00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:20,780 yeah that is another one of those really 707 00:26:25,630 --> 00:26:23,360 good ones and it's also different in 708 00:26:28,540 --> 00:26:25,640 that she was conscious she wasn't 709 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:28,550 necessarily in any kind of near-death 710 00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:30,890 experience where she's seen this figure 711 00:26:36,570 --> 00:26:33,830 outside of her body no she's right there 712 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:36,580 she's just in plain consciousness seeing 713 00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:39,890 you know I guess that dead loved one 714 00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:42,320 a vision yeah and she hadn't had any 715 00:26:46,330 --> 00:26:44,030 pain medication there was no anesthetic 716 00:26:48,460 --> 00:26:46,340 given I mean she was pretty alert and 717 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:48,470 knew what was going on so that was kind 718 00:26:53,770 --> 00:26:51,050 of an interesting story I think some of 719 00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:53,780 the other side lending a hand to comfort 720 00:26:59,140 --> 00:26:57,110 and save a person in trouble yes and I 721 00:27:01,420 --> 00:26:59,150 really like trying to get into the 722 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:01,430 mechanisms of these things and how they 723 00:27:06,220 --> 00:27:03,890 can occur and it's interesting that in 724 00:27:07,690 --> 00:27:06,230 the cases of people who died and then 725 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:07,700 are greeted with a group of relatives 726 00:27:13,390 --> 00:27:10,730 it's interesting that these people or 727 00:27:15,970 --> 00:27:13,400 spirits are always able to be there at 728 00:27:18,730 --> 00:27:15,980 the right time and space and together it 729 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:18,740 makes me wonder if it's possibly some 730 00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:20,960 type of subconscious projection of 731 00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:23,720 things that are comforting or something 732 00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:26,270 other than what it seems at face value 733 00:27:30,220 --> 00:27:28,550 I'm unsure but they're the kind of 734 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:30,230 questions I ask when we see these things 735 00:27:37,630 --> 00:27:35,210 that seem unlikely but often repeat it 736 00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:37,640 is kind of clockwork II when you get 737 00:27:42,300 --> 00:27:40,310 into those experiences there's a there's 738 00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:42,310 a range but it's not the widest range 739 00:27:48,460 --> 00:27:45,200 yeah the doctors couldn't explain these 740 00:27:50,530 --> 00:27:48,470 things and maybe when people die maybe 741 00:27:52,780 --> 00:27:50,540 when we're close to death we have some 742 00:27:54,190 --> 00:27:52,790 decrease in circulation to the brain and 743 00:27:56,110 --> 00:27:54,200 maybe you can see things and so forth 744 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:56,120 and so I think something like that 745 00:28:00,190 --> 00:27:58,250 happens on occasion but I think some of 746 00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:00,200 these things that we learn about or 747 00:28:04,990 --> 00:28:02,390 write about or hear about really 748 00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:05,000 something more than that I think there's 749 00:28:09,550 --> 00:28:06,670 something that we simply can't explain 750 00:28:11,050 --> 00:28:09,560 to the docs that told these stories they 751 00:28:13,450 --> 00:28:11,060 seem to point to something higher than 752 00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:13,460 us there's something more to this life 753 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:15,200 and just what we have in front of our 754 00:28:18,130 --> 00:28:16,610 eyes here and that's kind of the 755 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:18,140 conclusion that they all came to when 756 00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:21,410 they share these stories mm-hmm and 757 00:28:26,470 --> 00:28:23,420 another one I really like is the dime 758 00:28:29,260 --> 00:28:26,480 because it's not exactly the same but it 759 00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:29,270 is similar to this phenomenon that I 760 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:31,760 know a few people who have expressed 761 00:28:37,210 --> 00:28:34,850 this sort of thing to me where a person 762 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:37,220 has died who's obsessed over something 763 00:28:42,010 --> 00:28:39,890 like a pink flamingo for example and 764 00:28:44,410 --> 00:28:42,020 then four weeks after that person's 765 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:44,420 death they just see so many pink 766 00:28:48,250 --> 00:28:45,890 flamingos everywhere that it's 767 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:48,260 overwhelming and clearly some sort of 768 00:28:52,210 --> 00:28:49,970 sign it's hard to know if they're 769 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:52,220 projecting or if someone from the other 770 00:28:54,940 --> 00:28:53,450 side is stacking up 771 00:28:56,799 --> 00:28:54,950 these reminders may be to let their 772 00:28:58,629 --> 00:28:56,809 loved ones know they're okay but it's a 773 00:29:01,240 --> 00:28:58,639 pretty weird aspect to this stuff but it 774 00:29:02,830 --> 00:29:01,250 also seems to be fairly common you know 775 00:29:05,259 --> 00:29:02,840 I think it is and I've heard lots of 776 00:29:06,909 --> 00:29:05,269 stories now after writing this one about 777 00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:06,919 people that have had similar experiences 778 00:29:10,810 --> 00:29:08,990 the dime-store is one of my favorites 779 00:29:13,899 --> 00:29:10,820 it's interesting my editor didn't like 780 00:29:15,850 --> 00:29:13,909 it at first and I rewrote it rewrote it 781 00:29:17,919 --> 00:29:15,860 rewrote it and said I've got to put this 782 00:29:19,539 --> 00:29:17,929 in the book and she finally agreed that 783 00:29:21,940 --> 00:29:19,549 was ok I had written it to her 784 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:21,950 satisfaction it's one of my favorites a 785 00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:24,320 story about Steve Graham was an ER doc 786 00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:26,960 at a local hospital who was seeing a guy 787 00:29:30,639 --> 00:29:29,360 that had some abdominal symptoms it 788 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:30,649 wasn't anything real serious and he 789 00:29:33,909 --> 00:29:32,450 noticed the other tattoo in his arm that 790 00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:33,919 looked a little strange it was a tattoo 791 00:29:38,379 --> 00:29:36,559 of a dime and so Steve asked the fellow 792 00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:38,389 after if the curiosity got to of them he 793 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:39,950 said you know what can you tell me the 794 00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:41,330 story about why would you have a tattoo 795 00:29:46,659 --> 00:29:44,120 of a dime on your arm mazzello says my 796 00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:46,669 son is a claim collector and he collects 797 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:48,380 all different claims but his favorite 798 00:29:54,009 --> 00:29:51,679 coin is a dime and it seems whenever we 799 00:29:56,590 --> 00:29:54,019 would go to a very special place like a 800 00:29:59,049 --> 00:29:56,600 special dinner or to the Cubs game for 801 00:30:00,399 --> 00:29:59,059 example he would find a dime he pull up 802 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:00,409 the seat and there would be a dime under 803 00:30:03,909 --> 00:30:02,090 the seat or he'd moved the plate and 804 00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:03,919 there'd be a dime under the plate and he 805 00:30:07,930 --> 00:30:05,750 started collecting those dimes and he 806 00:30:09,070 --> 00:30:07,940 said my son was tragically killed in an 807 00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:09,080 automobile accident on the expressway 808 00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:12,110 number years ago and ever since then 809 00:30:17,139 --> 00:30:14,510 I've been finding dimes in places that 810 00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:17,149 would be special to him and so dr. 811 00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:18,799 Graham thought there was a nice story 812 00:30:22,090 --> 00:30:20,600 he's a polite guy didn't say anything 813 00:30:23,409 --> 00:30:22,100 but he was thinking as kind of an 814 00:30:26,110 --> 00:30:23,419 interesting story but I'm not sure I can 815 00:30:27,970 --> 00:30:26,120 quite buy it and so he took care of the 816 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:27,980 abdominal pain gave him some antibiotic 817 00:30:30,970 --> 00:30:29,330 and sent him on his way and then dr. 818 00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:30,980 Graham went back to the doctor's 819 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:33,110 dictation area where only the doctors 820 00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:36,049 can go to dictate the note on that and 821 00:30:39,399 --> 00:30:38,000 so he pulled out the chair and there was 822 00:30:41,740 --> 00:30:39,409 something shiny on the floor he looked 823 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:41,750 down and there it was a dime on the 824 00:30:44,620 --> 00:30:42,490 floor 825 00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:44,630 Robbie was the name of the boy that died 826 00:30:48,639 --> 00:30:46,190 he said thanks Robbie for helping me 827 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:48,649 believe hmm the interesting thing about 828 00:30:52,629 --> 00:30:50,690 that story is that's not the end I told 829 00:30:54,789 --> 00:30:52,639 that story to my wife and she liked it 830 00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:54,799 she's my first editor so whenever I 831 00:30:59,019 --> 00:30:56,809 write a story I give it to her to edit 832 00:31:01,240 --> 00:30:59,029 and see what she thinks about and so she 833 00:31:03,129 --> 00:31:01,250 liked the story a lot and as she 834 00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:03,139 finished the editing and still checking 835 00:31:06,620 --> 00:31:05,240 and so forth as she put it down and went 836 00:31:10,299 --> 00:31:06,630 to the next room 837 00:31:14,060 --> 00:31:10,309 and there on the counter was a dime 838 00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:14,070 hahahaha of course there was ever since 839 00:31:17,899 --> 00:31:15,840 then we've been finding dimes and 840 00:31:19,009 --> 00:31:17,909 strange and unusual places so I don't 841 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:19,019 know what to make of that 842 00:31:22,490 --> 00:31:20,370 there may be something there maybe 843 00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:22,500 nothing but it's kind of cool that 844 00:31:25,879 --> 00:31:23,940 that's happened there was actually 845 00:31:27,740 --> 00:31:25,889 getting dressed one morning putting my 846 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:27,750 pants on and three dimes popped out of 847 00:31:32,860 --> 00:31:30,570 my pocket I don't know you can make it 848 00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:32,870 what you want but that was a fun story 849 00:31:37,789 --> 00:31:35,519 there's a another event that happened to 850 00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:37,799 me too it reminds me of that a little 851 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:39,360 bit it's not in the book it's about our 852 00:31:43,460 --> 00:31:41,850 vacation we vacation in Cape Cod quite a 853 00:31:45,590 --> 00:31:43,470 bit have you ever been to Cape Cod a 854 00:31:48,019 --> 00:31:45,600 couple of times in my childhood yeah 855 00:31:49,610 --> 00:31:48,029 yeah it's a fun place everyone in our 856 00:31:51,019 --> 00:31:49,620 family loves to go to Cape Cod we do 857 00:31:52,850 --> 00:31:51,029 that about every three or four years and 858 00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:52,860 we were vacationing there and it was 859 00:31:56,899 --> 00:31:55,110 we're a big family group we love family 860 00:31:59,659 --> 00:31:56,909 things and this was a particularly 861 00:32:02,049 --> 00:31:59,669 special day we had the whole family was 862 00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:02,059 there all the kids and grandkids and 863 00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:04,620 we're having dinner that night it was 864 00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:05,820 one of those kind of events you want to 865 00:32:09,499 --> 00:32:07,500 just pinch yourself it's so perfect the 866 00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:09,509 girls were laughing and talking to each 867 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:10,529 other the kids were running around 868 00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:12,450 chasing bugs and things in the yard and 869 00:32:16,369 --> 00:32:14,399 the boys were cooking because of the 870 00:32:18,169 --> 00:32:16,379 occasion we like to cook and when we're 871 00:32:20,450 --> 00:32:18,179 at the store we saw a whole bunch of 872 00:32:22,129 --> 00:32:20,460 pies stacked up and they were all cherry 873 00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:22,139 pies we've bought five for the crowd 874 00:32:25,789 --> 00:32:23,519 which is about how many we need for 875 00:32:28,490 --> 00:32:25,799 dinner and we got to talking about our 876 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:28,500 favorite pie and we decided the mother 877 00:32:32,210 --> 00:32:30,450 who died we used to make rhubarb pie 878 00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:32,220 from a big plant we had in the backyard 879 00:32:36,019 --> 00:32:34,500 and we'd all sneak into the kitchen we 880 00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:36,029 went to visit her and we grabbed our 881 00:32:39,769 --> 00:32:38,129 spoons and germ theory aside we'd go 882 00:32:41,539 --> 00:32:39,779 right into the pie and we'd finish off 883 00:32:43,580 --> 00:32:41,549 the blueberry pie it was delicious it 884 00:32:44,930 --> 00:32:43,590 was really really sweet the best pie 885 00:32:47,749 --> 00:32:44,940 we've ever had and we decided on 886 00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:47,759 vacation then if grandma was there she 887 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:49,289 would make us a rhubarb pie but we had 888 00:32:53,869 --> 00:32:51,690 to settle for a cherry pie that night so 889 00:32:55,580 --> 00:32:53,879 we all had a wonderful dinner and again 890 00:32:56,899 --> 00:32:55,590 it was just such a special night it was 891 00:33:00,320 --> 00:32:56,909 one of those special nights we'll never 892 00:33:02,090 --> 00:33:00,330 forget and we finished the swordfish on 893 00:33:04,639 --> 00:33:02,100 the grill and corn on the cob and then 894 00:33:07,409 --> 00:33:04,649 my wife served the cherry pie I took one 895 00:33:10,109 --> 00:33:07,419 bite and suddenly had goose bumps 896 00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:10,119 because it wasn't cherry pie it was a 897 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:14,289 sweet rhubarb pie hmm and a box said 898 00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:16,690 cherry pie on it but the pie was clearly 899 00:33:20,249 --> 00:33:18,609 rhubarb and certainly he could explain 900 00:33:21,749 --> 00:33:20,259 it by saying there was some mix-up in 901 00:33:25,259 --> 00:33:21,759 the factory or the bakery or whatever 902 00:33:27,629 --> 00:33:25,269 but to me it was my mom's way of saying 903 00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:27,639 I'm I'm really here enjoying this 904 00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:29,769 special family night with you guys 905 00:33:36,719 --> 00:33:34,329 hmm that is such a nice story and it 906 00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:36,729 does make one wonder because stories 907 00:33:41,009 --> 00:33:39,070 like this and the dime they almost 908 00:33:43,589 --> 00:33:41,019 suggest that people from the other side 909 00:33:45,690 --> 00:33:43,599 are able to manipulate matter or 910 00:33:48,029 --> 00:33:45,700 manipulate objects or put them in place 911 00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:48,039 or get us to move towards things or 912 00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:50,529 notice things and you can also pull some 913 00:33:55,589 --> 00:33:53,769 data from the realm of seances and 914 00:33:58,619 --> 00:33:55,599 ritual practice and the more paranormal 915 00:34:01,759 --> 00:33:58,629 type of stuff that goes on but in both 916 00:34:04,109 --> 00:34:01,769 cases it's a strange suggestion that 917 00:34:06,419 --> 00:34:04,119 people on the other side are able to do 918 00:34:09,509 --> 00:34:06,429 that even just regular folks who have 919 00:34:11,339 --> 00:34:09,519 died it just it's an odd mechanism yeah 920 00:34:13,859 --> 00:34:11,349 I'm not sure we can explain it all I 921 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:13,869 think the docs though seem to think that 922 00:34:18,089 --> 00:34:16,210 there is something more that we don't 923 00:34:21,629 --> 00:34:18,099 understand and that people that have 924 00:34:24,029 --> 00:34:21,639 gone beyond before us that our loved 925 00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:24,039 ones may know what we're doing and they 926 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:25,990 may be able to participate in our lives 927 00:34:33,509 --> 00:34:28,169 and some interesting and strange ways 928 00:34:35,789 --> 00:34:33,519 indeed and so another thing that I am 929 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:35,799 really interested in that doesn't 930 00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:37,690 necessarily make it into your book 931 00:34:43,379 --> 00:34:40,000 because it's really not the sort of data 932 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:43,389 that doctors would be familiar with but 933 00:34:49,259 --> 00:34:46,210 there are people who compile these cases 934 00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:49,269 of kids who remember past lives and that 935 00:34:54,029 --> 00:34:51,849 is a weird thing to digest also 936 00:34:56,069 --> 00:34:54,039 sometimes they have some facts about the 937 00:34:58,559 --> 00:34:56,079 person who died that they communicate 938 00:34:59,940 --> 00:34:58,569 with their loved ones and it all checks 939 00:35:01,890 --> 00:34:59,950 out and it's just like one of those 940 00:35:04,410 --> 00:35:01,900 things you can't really get your head 941 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:04,420 around and then you also factor in the 942 00:35:09,390 --> 00:35:07,049 fact that sometimes people have 943 00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:09,400 experiences like the one you shared that 944 00:35:13,559 --> 00:35:11,440 can sometimes happen decades after a 945 00:35:15,930 --> 00:35:13,569 person dies where there is still some 946 00:35:18,539 --> 00:35:15,940 kind of clues that they're consciously 947 00:35:20,010 --> 00:35:18,549 with you so to rectify the two things 948 00:35:21,990 --> 00:35:20,020 together is he 949 00:35:24,450 --> 00:35:22,000 crazier I just I just don't know how 950 00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:24,460 both can be true I mean maybe there's a 951 00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:27,310 whole system of choices we make on the 952 00:35:31,770 --> 00:35:29,470 other side of how long we want to wait 953 00:35:34,170 --> 00:35:31,780 to reincarnate or if we can at all but 954 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:34,180 there just is a lot of weirdness and 955 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:36,730 there's a big blind spot for us on this 956 00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:39,610 side of the coin yeah I think we don't 957 00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:41,830 know all the answers and there are some 958 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:44,110 unusual things that happen and again we 959 00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:45,490 didn't have any stories about 960 00:35:49,140 --> 00:35:47,680 reincarnation with the docs but there 961 00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:49,150 are some strange things that happen in 962 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:51,310 this world that make us at least the 963 00:35:54,570 --> 00:35:53,170 doctors came to the conclusion if 964 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:54,580 there's something else out there and 965 00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:57,130 keep your eyes open and look for what it 966 00:36:01,680 --> 00:35:59,170 is and search it out and see if you can 967 00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:01,690 come up with what works for you I think 968 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:03,790 to believe in something that's higher 969 00:36:08,070 --> 00:36:05,890 than us can be very reassuring and can 970 00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:08,080 give people hope when these are really 971 00:36:14,190 --> 00:36:11,110 trouble times indeed yes it can 972 00:36:16,110 --> 00:36:14,200 definitely provide some hope but on this 973 00:36:18,090 --> 00:36:16,120 subject if I'm being honest one thing I 974 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:18,100 wasn't crazy about in the book is that a 975 00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:20,530 lot of the authors of these stories give 976 00:36:24,990 --> 00:36:23,140 the credit to God or they use the term 977 00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:25,000 heaven for what's described on the other 978 00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:27,310 side and I guess that traditional model 979 00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:29,830 is all we have to express these things 980 00:36:34,470 --> 00:36:32,470 sometimes but in some of the stories I 981 00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:34,480 think the credit should be given to 982 00:36:39,390 --> 00:36:36,430 consciousness more than anything else 983 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:39,400 things like spontaneous precognition or 984 00:36:43,470 --> 00:36:41,530 going one way when you could have gone 985 00:36:45,950 --> 00:36:43,480 another and end up finding someone who 986 00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:45,960 needs help or when you seem to know a 987 00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:48,160 conversation with a loved one is the 988 00:36:53,310 --> 00:36:50,560 last one I think that maybe there's a 989 00:36:55,890 --> 00:36:53,320 lot more to our non-physical selves and 990 00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:55,900 we just don't realize it and instead we 991 00:36:59,910 --> 00:36:58,000 chalk everything up to our Father who 992 00:37:02,190 --> 00:36:59,920 art in heaven and I guess I like the 993 00:37:04,260 --> 00:37:02,200 data but sometimes maybe I think we need 994 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:04,270 a more nuanced interpretation of that or 995 00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:06,730 we need a more fleshed out understanding 996 00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:09,910 of what consciousness really is again 997 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:12,250 these stories and many stories that we 998 00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:14,530 hear I'm not sure we can explain them 999 00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:17,200 totally most of the docs were religious 1000 00:37:22,650 --> 00:37:19,510 but not all of them and many of them had 1001 00:37:23,650 --> 00:37:22,660 a religious explanation so I'm leaving 1002 00:37:26,650 --> 00:37:23,660 it up 1003 00:37:29,589 --> 00:37:26,660 to readers to have them decide what it 1004 00:37:32,770 --> 00:37:29,599 means absolutely I think that's the best 1005 00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:32,780 approach and I guess the best example of 1006 00:37:36,190 --> 00:37:34,250 this kind of thing I'm talking about 1007 00:37:38,289 --> 00:37:36,200 would be the prayer category we have 1008 00:37:40,569 --> 00:37:38,299 this idea put in our heads that if a 1009 00:37:43,059 --> 00:37:40,579 prayer is answered then it was God 1010 00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:43,069 granting our wish so to speak but that 1011 00:37:47,109 --> 00:37:45,200 gives no credit to our own power of 1012 00:37:50,349 --> 00:37:47,119 manifestation or our own ability to 1013 00:37:52,089 --> 00:37:50,359 subconsciously sense for example when 1014 00:37:53,950 --> 00:37:52,099 another person is in dire need of help 1015 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:53,960 like the story you talk about on the 1016 00:37:58,450 --> 00:37:56,210 mountain in my opinion these are 1017 00:38:01,450 --> 00:37:58,460 functions of the individual and extreme 1018 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:01,460 states of stress or emotion with no real 1019 00:38:06,670 --> 00:38:03,650 need to invoke an all-powerful creator 1020 00:38:08,349 --> 00:38:06,680 God in these examples which is important 1021 00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:08,359 to me because if we outsource these 1022 00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:10,880 situations we won't study them to try to 1023 00:38:16,990 --> 00:38:13,910 work on increasing their frequency but 1024 00:38:18,190 --> 00:38:17,000 they are miraculous regardless yeah 1025 00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:18,200 you know I don't know if anyone can say 1026 00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:20,150 for certain what happens in certain 1027 00:38:24,069 --> 00:38:22,250 circumstances so when you talk about on 1028 00:38:26,770 --> 00:38:24,079 the mountain is an interesting story I 1029 00:38:28,510 --> 00:38:26,780 was a Steve Haim story who's a trauma 1030 00:38:31,690 --> 00:38:28,520 surgeon an orthopedic surgeon who was 1031 00:38:34,359 --> 00:38:31,700 skiing in Colorado and he got separated 1032 00:38:35,799 --> 00:38:34,369 from his wife and his wife sister in the 1033 00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:35,809 attempt to get back to where they were 1034 00:38:40,660 --> 00:38:37,430 skiing to a grove of trees 1035 00:38:43,870 --> 00:38:40,670 he felt this overwhelming urge to stop 1036 00:38:46,089 --> 00:38:43,880 skiing and he did and he doesn't know 1037 00:38:47,559 --> 00:38:46,099 why he decided to take his skis off and 1038 00:38:48,670 --> 00:38:47,569 climb up the mountain in the opposite 1039 00:38:50,829 --> 00:38:48,680 direction from where the girls are 1040 00:38:53,019 --> 00:38:50,839 waiting for him he started to climb up 1041 00:38:55,269 --> 00:38:53,029 the mountain and got about 100 150 feet 1042 00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:55,279 up the mountain came to a large pine 1043 00:38:59,529 --> 00:38:57,920 tree and suddenly realized why he was 1044 00:39:00,760 --> 00:38:59,539 there he looked down and there 1045 00:39:02,170 --> 00:39:00,770 underneath the pine tree in the well 1046 00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:02,180 that's formed by the snow that comes 1047 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:03,529 down to the base the tree there was a 1048 00:39:08,109 --> 00:39:06,170 body covered with snow and he wasn't 1049 00:39:09,970 --> 00:39:08,119 sure that person was alive he's a trauma 1050 00:39:12,309 --> 00:39:09,980 surgeon so he know exactly what to do 1051 00:39:13,930 --> 00:39:12,319 brushed off his face and he could see 1052 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:13,940 that he looked like he was dead he had a 1053 00:39:17,049 --> 00:39:15,650 grey face but again being a trauma 1054 00:39:20,289 --> 00:39:17,059 surgeon he reached out and touched his 1055 00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:20,299 neck me and a pulse thready pulse but he 1056 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:23,119 had a pulse so he was alive and he went 1057 00:39:25,930 --> 00:39:24,650 into trauma mode did all the things that 1058 00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:25,940 you're supposed to do keep him warm and 1059 00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:27,500 watch the snow off and so forth and was 1060 00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:28,190 calling for help 1061 00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:30,710 one of the last skiers down the mountain 1062 00:39:34,210 --> 00:39:32,000 because it was a blizzard at the time 1063 00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:34,220 they could hard

Cole Baba 1221 00:45:41,329 --> 00:45:38,400 spitballing and speculating about 1222 00:45:43,489 --> 00:45:41,339 different ideas but it became clear that 1223 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:43,499 he sort of wanted to just stick to the 1224 00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:46,079 stories in the book which is fine with 1225 00:45:49,489 --> 00:45:47,730 me it's much better than a guest who 1226 00:45:51,739 --> 00:45:49,499 doesn't want to talk about the details 1227 00:45:53,930 --> 00:45:51,749 of their book and just says well it's in 1228 00:45:55,759 --> 00:45:53,940 there check it out obviously that's the 1229 00:45:58,789 --> 00:45:55,769 worst situation for a listening audience 1230 00:46:01,099 --> 00:45:58,799 so I took my shot at my skeptic Oh 1231 00:46:03,319 --> 00:46:01,109 inspired approach to interviewing but I 1232 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:03,329 didn't want to push too hard or offend 1233 00:46:08,049 --> 00:46:05,249 the good doctor and you can only hear I 1234 00:46:10,670 --> 00:46:08,059 don't know as an answer so many times 1235 00:46:12,799 --> 00:46:10,680 but none of us know that's the point of 1236 00:46:15,289 --> 00:46:12,809 speculating and considering all the 1237 00:46:18,289 --> 00:46:15,299 angles and how something like life after 1238 00:46:20,269 --> 00:46:18,299 life actually works and how separate but 1239 00:46:23,359 --> 00:46:20,279 equally strange phenomena might be 1240 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:23,369 related and there are nuances to all of 1241 00:46:28,609 --> 00:46:25,890 this too and of course I wanted to try 1242 00:46:30,650 --> 00:46:28,619 and unpack those aspects for example I 1243 00:46:32,329 --> 00:46:30,660 brought up that it doesn't seem like we 1244 00:46:34,670 --> 00:46:32,339 have much of a choice when it comes to 1245 00:46:36,349 --> 00:46:34,680 whether we come back or not and I'm 1246 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:36,359 talking about that stage when you're 1247 00:46:40,759 --> 00:46:38,970 already out of the body already talking 1248 00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:40,769 to your dead loved ones and in that 1249 00:46:45,979 --> 00:46:43,529 exact space most of the tales I hear 1250 00:46:48,170 --> 00:46:45,989 involve a person just being pretty out 1251 00:46:50,390 --> 00:46:48,180 of their element and some wise dead 1252 00:46:53,269 --> 00:46:50,400 relatives telling them you're going back 1253 00:46:56,420 --> 00:46:53,279 bro and I just find it fascinating that 1254 00:47:00,049 --> 00:46:56,430 these spirits these guardians or 1255 00:47:02,029 --> 00:47:00,059 liaisons or Usher's they always seem to 1256 00:47:03,769 --> 00:47:02,039 have some insight they never seem 1257 00:47:04,970 --> 00:47:03,779 surprised they're never like oh wait 1258 00:47:07,579 --> 00:47:04,980 Mike what are you doing where are you 1259 00:47:10,549 --> 00:47:07,589 going come back you know it's never 1260 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:10,559 described like that you don't surprise 1261 00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:13,050 the spirits they surprise you 1262 00:47:17,150 --> 00:47:15,240 and I also kind of touched on that point 1263 00:47:20,060 --> 00:47:17,160 that isn't it kind of fascinating that 1264 00:47:22,550 --> 00:47:20,070 our dead loved ones are always able to 1265 00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:22,560 just congregate at the right time and 1266 00:47:27,410 --> 00:47:24,780 space at the moment of our death the 1267 00:47:29,540 --> 00:47:27,420 other side has to be very disorienting 1268 00:47:32,330 --> 00:47:29,550 do you experience time and space the 1269 00:47:35,150 --> 00:47:32,340 same way can you just consciously travel 1270 00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:35,160 to that exact location how do you know 1271 00:47:40,490 --> 00:47:38,700 when you're living son is about to die 1272 00:47:42,620 --> 00:47:40,500 so that you can get bedside for his 1273 00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:42,630 out-of-body experience it's it's strange 1274 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:45,540 right I mean we have to consider how 1275 00:47:50,990 --> 00:47:49,290 that works and maybe it's not who we 1276 00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:51,000 think it is maybe this isn't our dead 1277 00:47:55,780 --> 00:47:53,160 relatives maybe it's a projection from 1278 00:47:58,550 --> 00:47:55,790 the deep recesses of our subconscious 1279 00:48:00,890 --> 00:47:58,560 maybe it's an aspect just like the life 1280 00:48:04,130 --> 00:48:00,900 review that just kind of happens as a 1281 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:04,140 mechanism during the process of death or 1282 00:48:09,980 --> 00:48:07,170 maybe we are on some human energy farm 1283 00:48:11,870 --> 00:48:09,990 and when we die trickster entities 1284 00:48:16,060 --> 00:48:11,880 wearing the masks of our dead loved ones 1285 00:48:18,590 --> 00:48:16,070 are there to usher us into the light 1286 00:48:21,170 --> 00:48:18,600 maybe I'm the weird one to even consider 1287 00:48:22,940 --> 00:48:21,180 these other possibilities but then dr. 1288 00:48:25,370 --> 00:48:22,950 Scott brought up some situations where a 1289 00:48:28,190 --> 00:48:25,380 person either holds on for a while to 1290 00:48:30,830 --> 00:48:28,200 say goodbye to a specific person or they 1291 00:48:33,349 --> 00:48:30,840 wait until a spouse says it's okay to 1292 00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:33,359 let go and then they die and yes there 1293 00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:35,760 are cases there where people actually 1294 00:48:41,510 --> 00:48:38,160 die on command they sort of transition 1295 00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:41,520 at will and I don't deny the flexibility 1296 00:48:45,890 --> 00:48:43,740 there but that is a completely different 1297 00:48:49,190 --> 00:48:45,900 situation a completely different aspect 1298 00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:49,200 of the death process just as interesting 1299 00:48:54,050 --> 00:48:51,750 but it seems to be one of those semi 1300 00:48:57,050 --> 00:48:54,060 automatic will driven aspects of our 1301 00:49:01,150 --> 00:48:57,060 bodies it's like instinctual but 1302 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:01,160 somewhat guy double and I think clearly 1303 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:03,450 distinct from someone who's already out 1304 00:49:09,260 --> 00:49:06,570 of their body wondering if they're gonna 1305 00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:09,270 be coming back or going forward of 1306 00:49:14,510 --> 00:49:11,250 course I don't know but it was fun to 1307 00:49:16,700 --> 00:49:14,520 get into we talk a lot on the show about 1308 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:16,710 the elite sort of presenting us with 1309 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:19,290 pre-approved boxes and I think for a lot 1310 00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:22,530 of people you do the material atheism 1311 00:49:26,500 --> 00:49:24,540 thing until you have an experience that 1312 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:26,510 shakes that foundation 1313 00:49:31,330 --> 00:49:28,490 and you look around and all that's there 1314 00:49:33,370 --> 00:49:31,340 is a conventional Abrahamic bearded man 1315 00:49:35,770 --> 00:49:33,380 in the clouds heaven and hell type of 1316 00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:35,780 paradigm if you want to relate to other 1317 00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:37,910 people I mean that's kind of the only 1318 00:49:40,810 --> 00:49:38,720 way to do it 1319 00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:40,820 you're not gonna relate to the average 1320 00:49:45,730 --> 00:49:43,730 guy with the weird [\h__\h] we get into so I 1321 00:49:48,790 --> 00:49:45,740 understand that tendency I understand 1322 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:48,800 how it happens and I think dr. Cole Baba 1323 00:49:53,609 --> 00:49:51,650 is a lot more open-minded than some of 1324 00:49:56,530 --> 00:49:53,619 those people but generally speaking we 1325 00:49:59,140 --> 00:49:56,540 do look for those worldviews and sort of 1326 00:50:01,990 --> 00:49:59,150 swing from one to another 1327 00:50:03,550 --> 00:50:02,000 like Tarzan uses vines and instead I 1328 00:50:06,730 --> 00:50:03,560 think we kind of have to sort of braid 1329 00:50:09,010 --> 00:50:06,740 our own vines don't just you know look 1330 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:09,020 for boxes look for models and jump from 1331 00:50:14,020 --> 00:50:11,810 model to model I don't think any of them 1332 00:50:16,030 --> 00:50:14,030 are a hundred percent but it's good to 1333 00:50:18,940 --> 00:50:16,040 see the value and them take what's good 1334 00:50:20,650 --> 00:50:18,950 and discard the rest but the god thing 1335 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:20,660 is sort of like the realm of politics 1336 00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:23,210 where people give so much credit and 1337 00:50:28,450 --> 00:50:25,609 sway to the president as if any 1338 00:50:30,220 --> 00:50:28,460 governmental political or social effect 1339 00:50:32,099 --> 00:50:30,230 on their life is a direct experience 1340 00:50:35,020 --> 00:50:32,109 with that president you know what I mean 1341 00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:35,030 that's how I feel about chalking every 1342 00:50:40,359 --> 00:50:38,240 strange experience up to God you know 1343 00:50:41,950 --> 00:50:40,369 Obama didn't find you a job you went out 1344 00:50:44,830 --> 00:50:41,960 and put in the work and you found one 1345 00:50:46,810 --> 00:50:44,840 the unemployment rate is a factor but it 1346 00:50:49,630 --> 00:50:46,820 doesn't really have a ton to do with the 1347 00:50:52,180 --> 00:50:49,640 President himself or you yourself if 1348 00:50:54,310 --> 00:50:52,190 you've been out of work for awhile and 1349 00:50:57,580 --> 00:50:54,320 someone finds your resume and gives you 1350 00:50:59,650 --> 00:50:57,590 a job you don't think Obama for lowering 1351 00:51:02,140 --> 00:50:59,660 the unemployment rate enough for you to 1352 00:51:03,609 --> 00:51:02,150 break through you could say the 1353 00:51:05,650 --> 00:51:03,619 president had something to do with the 1354 00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:05,660 conditions in which you were able to get 1355 00:51:10,810 --> 00:51:07,609 a job or the chances with which you 1356 00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:10,820 would have success and maybe there is 1357 00:51:15,370 --> 00:51:13,040 something called God that we could give 1358 00:51:17,260 --> 00:51:15,380 credit to some of the conditions with 1359 00:51:19,150 --> 00:51:17,270 which we are able to help ourselves or 1360 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:19,160 our consciousness is able to find a guy 1361 00:51:25,359 --> 00:51:21,970 trapped on a mountain and save his life 1362 00:51:27,370 --> 00:51:25,369 but I think the actual spiritual entity 1363 00:51:30,310 --> 00:51:27,380 we might call God or the force or 1364 00:51:33,060 --> 00:51:30,320 whatever is way more removed from your 1365 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:33,070 individual experience than we sometimes 1366 00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:36,890 give it credit for I mean I find it 1367 00:51:40,359 --> 00:51:38,510 difficult to understand how someone 1368 00:51:42,279 --> 00:51:40,369 could think these experiences were 1369 00:51:44,380 --> 00:51:42,289 late to some man in the clouds deciding 1370 00:51:47,019 --> 00:51:44,390 on a whim to let you stay around for a 1371 00:51:48,730 --> 00:51:47,029 little longer the concept just makes no 1372 00:51:51,549 --> 00:51:48,740 sense with all the death and suffering 1373 00:51:53,380 --> 00:51:51,559 on the planet I mean in a world where 1374 00:51:56,079 --> 00:51:53,390 this supposed Guardian is letting 1375 00:51:58,989 --> 00:51:56,089 thousands of Syrians rot in refugee 1376 00:52:01,569 --> 00:51:58,999 camps and letting millions starve slowly 1377 00:52:03,819 --> 00:52:01,579 before they even hit puberty but God 1378 00:52:06,370 --> 00:52:03,829 just decided to throw you a bone on a 1379 00:52:09,009 --> 00:52:06,380 Tuesday so you could work at AT&T for a 1380 00:52:11,079 --> 00:52:09,019 few more years I mean I hate to be so 1381 00:52:13,150 --> 00:52:11,089 critical but it's not like God saves 1382 00:52:15,759 --> 00:52:13,160 someone and then they transform the 1383 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:15,769 world right most people just continue to 1384 00:52:21,489 --> 00:52:18,650 live simple humble lives with corporate 1385 00:52:23,799 --> 00:52:21,499 jobs so why would God want to extend 1386 00:52:26,819 --> 00:52:23,809 your life ten years just so you can 1387 00:52:29,799 --> 00:52:26,829 finish out the Avengers movie story arc 1388 00:52:31,870 --> 00:52:29,809 doesn't it make so much more sense that 1389 00:52:34,299 --> 00:52:31,880 there are aspects of our non-physical 1390 00:52:36,489 --> 00:52:34,309 selves that we don't understand that we 1391 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:36,499 have abilities and high stress or 1392 00:52:39,910 --> 00:52:38,450 emotionally heightened situations to do 1393 00:52:43,569 --> 00:52:39,920 amazing things that defy the 1394 00:52:45,460 --> 00:52:43,579 conventional worldview to me that is the 1395 00:52:47,559 --> 00:52:45,470 best explanation for the seemingly 1396 00:52:49,420 --> 00:52:47,569 random selection of these paranormal 1397 00:52:53,589 --> 00:52:49,430 experiences or whatever you want to call 1398 00:52:55,269 --> 00:52:53,599 them Xtranormal perhaps I mean this is 1399 00:52:57,839 --> 00:52:55,279 the criticism that we've always had of 1400 00:53:00,880 --> 00:52:57,849 the Abrahamic religions of the Vatican 1401 00:53:03,130 --> 00:53:00,890 that they take away your power of direct 1402 00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:03,140 experience they come in and they say 1403 00:53:09,579 --> 00:53:06,319 look don't practice magic yourself don't 1404 00:53:11,829 --> 00:53:09,589 talk to spirits yourself just tell me 1405 00:53:13,269 --> 00:53:11,839 about it and throw me a couple bucks and 1406 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:13,279 then sure everything's gonna work out 1407 00:53:17,890 --> 00:53:15,410 for you I think we're still dealing 1408 00:53:20,319 --> 00:53:17,900 mentally with who gets the 1409 00:53:23,170 --> 00:53:20,329 responsibility or the credit for some of 1410 00:53:25,870 --> 00:53:23,180 these weird things I think if you just 1411 00:53:29,729 --> 00:53:25,880 explore psychedelics a bit or meditation 1412 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:29,739 if you're a bit of a puss jk jk I 1413 00:53:33,849 --> 00:53:31,970 honestly would just say meditation is 1414 00:53:36,009 --> 00:53:33,859 like running a marathon and then waiting 1415 00:53:37,599 --> 00:53:36,019 into the water and psychedelics are like 1416 00:53:40,539 --> 00:53:37,609 rolling out of bed and jumping off the 1417 00:53:42,999 --> 00:53:40,549 high dive both of them get you there but 1418 00:53:45,460 --> 00:53:43,009 who has the time and the energy to run a 1419 00:53:48,670 --> 00:53:45,470 marathon when tossing something down my 1420 00:53:49,809 --> 00:53:48,680 gullet is just so much easier I'm not 1421 00:53:53,109 --> 00:53:49,819 saying it's right or wrong I'm just 1422 00:53:55,630 --> 00:53:53,119 saying I know myself and you could also 1423 00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:55,640 expand these ideas to say the same thing 1424 00:54:00,220 --> 00:53:57,650 about magic - how many guests have we 1425 00:54:02,579 --> 00:54:00,230 talked to out there that seemingly broke 1426 00:54:05,109 --> 00:54:02,589 reality and got results that defy logic 1427 00:54:08,589 --> 00:54:05,119 because they recreated the actions in 1428 00:54:10,930 --> 00:54:08,599 some 500 year old grimoire more than a 1429 00:54:13,299 --> 00:54:10,940 handful it's like the abyss is right 1430 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:13,309 there waiting for you but honestly magic 1431 00:54:17,589 --> 00:54:15,890 is very hard - if you're gonna do it 1432 00:54:19,989 --> 00:54:17,599 right and it depends on how you define 1433 00:54:21,489 --> 00:54:19,999 magic some consider just manifesting a 1434 00:54:23,620 --> 00:54:21,499 sandwich from your refrigerator when 1435 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:23,630 you're hungry as a magical act and 1436 00:54:30,460 --> 00:54:26,210 touche of those people but I'm talking 1437 00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:30,470 about paradigm breaking ritual magic you 1438 00:54:35,109 --> 00:54:32,569 know you hear this term mindfulness a 1439 00:54:37,660 --> 00:54:35,119 lot got a practice mindfulness but 1440 00:54:39,970 --> 00:54:37,670 honestly try to do it for a week like 1441 00:54:41,829 --> 00:54:39,980 every minute of the day and then think 1442 00:54:43,630 --> 00:54:41,839 back over the week at all the things you 1443 00:54:47,019 --> 00:54:43,640 might have wanted to do but didn't I 1444 00:54:49,539 --> 00:54:47,029 kind of do this a lot now so a week ends 1445 00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:49,549 and I think wow I didn't do any exercise 1446 00:54:54,339 --> 00:54:52,249 that would have taken me about 10 to 15 1447 00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:54,349 minutes a day to do some push-ups and 1448 00:54:58,390 --> 00:54:55,730 sit-ups and feel a bit better about 1449 00:55:00,489 --> 00:54:58,400 myself I didn't follow through on some 1450 00:55:02,289 --> 00:55:00,499 of my magic goals mapping out the next 1451 00:55:04,479 --> 00:55:02,299 month's calendar consulting the 1452 00:55:07,089 --> 00:55:04,489 astrology for when to best record my 1453 00:55:10,450 --> 00:55:07,099 interviews sending out a few sigil 1454 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:10,460 Shoals all that's maybe three or four 1455 00:55:14,020 --> 00:55:12,170 hours worth of stuff 1456 00:55:15,819 --> 00:55:14,030 I also didn't finish reading any of the 1457 00:55:17,980 --> 00:55:15,829 books I bought recently Jordan 1458 00:55:20,349 --> 00:55:17,990 Peterson's 12 rules to life Charles 1459 00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:20,359 forts the book of the Damned or the Tom 1460 00:55:24,010 --> 00:55:22,250 DeLonge Peter Levin de book that I just 1461 00:55:25,930 --> 00:55:24,020 wanted to see for myself what it 1462 00:55:28,420 --> 00:55:25,940 contained didn't do any of that either 1463 00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:28,430 didn't even crack the covers where did 1464 00:55:33,700 --> 00:55:31,250 the time go well I watched the entire 1465 00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:33,710 Flint town series on Netflix there are 1466 00:55:37,780 --> 00:55:36,049 six hours right there I watched wild 1467 00:55:39,609 --> 00:55:37,790 wild country about the cult that took 1468 00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:39,619 over Antelope Oregon that was about 1469 00:55:43,780 --> 00:55:42,079 eight hours probably scrolled my stupid 1470 00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:43,790 phone for at least two or three hours 1471 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:46,250 cumulatively a day played at least an 1472 00:55:51,940 --> 00:55:48,530 hour or more of overwatch pretty much 1473 00:55:54,309 --> 00:55:51,950 every day so there it is there is so so 1474 00:55:56,109 --> 00:55:54,319 much time and to truly practice 1475 00:55:58,120 --> 00:55:56,119 mindfulness is to really be honest about 1476 00:56:00,880 --> 00:55:58,130 the choices you make as you're making 1477 00:56:03,039 --> 00:56:00,890 them and recognizing that you sacrificed 1478 00:56:05,710 --> 00:56:03,049 a lot of goals you might have had for 1479 00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:05,720 some filler [\h__\h] and what's the 1480 00:56:09,220 --> 00:56:07,609 point well I guess my point was that 1481 00:56:11,859 --> 00:56:09,230 magic takes a lot of effort and planning 1482 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:11,869 and it provides a lot of answers to and 1483 00:56:17,289 --> 00:56:14,930 I doubt even 1% of the population truly 1484 00:56:19,059 --> 00:56:17,299 does that work yet so many people are 1485 00:56:21,099 --> 00:56:19,069 just sitting around wondering if spirits 1486 00:56:22,539 --> 00:56:21,109 are real or hearing about other people's 1487 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:22,549 experiences and you really could be 1488 00:56:27,609 --> 00:56:24,650 having your own if you dedicated some 1489 00:56:29,710 --> 00:56:27,619 time to the exploration would you rather 1490 00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:29,720 commune with infinite intelligences on 1491 00:56:33,490 --> 00:56:31,730 the astral plane and VOC a trickster at 1492 00:56:36,010 --> 00:56:33,500 the crossroads or Sid you'll show your 1493 00:56:37,809 --> 00:56:36,020 way to a serious level up in life or 1494 00:56:40,359 --> 00:56:37,819 would you rather unlock a new perk and 1495 00:56:43,510 --> 00:56:40,369 call of duty like these are the 1496 00:56:45,309 --> 00:56:43,520 decisions we're making every day and I'm 1497 00:56:48,099 --> 00:56:45,319 not trying to be preachy Daren and 1498 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:48,109 Graham all right I'm honestly trying to 1499 00:56:52,510 --> 00:56:50,210 be convincing enough to take my own 1500 00:56:54,609 --> 00:56:52,520 advice but I guess I'm just trying to 1501 00:56:56,380 --> 00:56:54,619 say that even though my own level of 1502 00:56:59,530 --> 00:56:56,390 understanding is probably like a three 1503 00:57:01,569 --> 00:56:59,540 on a 10 scale I'm having less patience 1504 00:57:02,950 --> 00:57:01,579 and less empathy for people who prop up 1505 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:02,960 what I consider to be pretty simplistic 1506 00:57:08,020 --> 00:57:05,930 models when we do have access to all 1507 00:57:10,510 --> 00:57:08,030 these tools and methods of exploration 1508 00:57:13,390 --> 00:57:10,520 if we didn't then how could you blame 1509 00:57:15,730 --> 00:57:13,400 someone but we do so you can 1510 00:57:17,650 --> 00:57:15,740 and I'm not even trying to pass judgment 1511 00:57:19,810 --> 00:57:17,660 on anyone specifically who told a story 1512 00:57:21,820 --> 00:57:19,820 in dr.
