The Meditation Secret You've Been Missing (Former Navy Commander Explains)

You've been meditating. You've been clearing your mind. And nothing's happening. What if the problem isn't that you're doing it wrong, it's that you're doing exactly what prevents connection from occurring? A former Navy Commander turned evidence-based medium and spiritual leader explains why emptiness isn't always the goal, and what one simple reframe could change about your entire spiritual practice.

Episode Overview 
Suzanne Giesemann doesn't fit the spiritual teacher mold, and that's precisely why her work matters. As a former US Navy Commander who served as aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she brought military-grade discipline to a grief-fueled quest for connection after losing her stepdaughter to a lightning strike.

The result? Undeniable evidence of consciousness beyond death, and a grounded, replicable approach to mediumship that anyone can learn.

This conversation isn't about belief. It's about what happens when you stop trying so hard to quiet your mind and start getting curious about what wants to fill the space.

What You'll Discover

  • The counterintuitive meditation instruction that shifts you from "trying to be empty" to "inviting connection", and why this distinction changes everything for frustrated meditators
  • Why discipline beats mysticism when it comes to developing intuition, and how Suzanne's military training accidentally prepared her for mediumship
  • The "Hara test" for knowing whether you're receiving guidance or just making things up (hint: it's not in your head or your heart)
  • What actually happens when you ask for proof and the universe delivers, including a story about coffee creamer that'll make you rethink coincidence
  • The real reason people don't connect with their loved ones across the veil (it's not lack of ability, it's a misunderstanding about what meditation is for)
  • How to handle fear when opening yourself spiritually, including Suzanne's encounter with "creatures with talons" and the one response that dissolved them instantly
  • A 3-minute daily practice (the "Sip of the Divine") that requires zero spiritual background and works even if you "can't meditate"

Why This Conversation Is Different
Most spiritual teachers will tell you to sit, breathe, and wait. Suzanne tells you to sit, breathe, and invite. She doesn't peddle certainty or demand faith, she offers systems, evidence, and the kind of pragmatic wisdom that comes from spending 20 years in uniform before spending 15+ years bridging worlds.

If you've been spinning your wheels trying to "get it right," this episode offers permission to stop performing emptiness and start experiencing connection.

You're Not Gullible...You're Curious 
There's no woo-woo bypass here. Suzanne's path began with skepticism, required proof at every turn, and continues to demand evidence. If you're the kind of person who wants spiritual awakening without abandoning logic, this conversation will feel like relief. Questioning isn't a problem. It's how you know you're paying attention.

00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.839
Karen. Yes, there are some guests who need an introduction.

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:06.040
True.

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.119
And then there's Susanne Geeseman. If you spend any time

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.960
seriously exploring consciousness, mediumship, or what it actually means to

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.800
live in awakened life, you already know her work. She's

6
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.640
one of the most trusted respect voices in the modern spirituality,

7
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.000
not because she tells people what to believe, but because

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.480
she insists on experience over doctrine. Then we don't really

9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.920
need to explain who Suzanne Geeseman is. I mean, if

10
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.320
someone listening doesn't know her name, they've probably already paused

11
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.840
this episode. Go google her. But people talk. People hear

12
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.840
her talk about consciousness, connection and meditation all the time,

13
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.079
and they assume they're the ones that are doing it wrong.

14
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:51.200
They're sitting, they're breathing, they're emptying their minds like spiritual overachievers,

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:52.439
and yet nothing.

16
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.119
I wish I could make that cricket sound.

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.799
Well, that's why I careen this conversation matters. What if

18
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.439
the problem isn't that nothing's happening, but that you're clearing

19
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.280
the room right when someone's gonna knock on that door.

20
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.519
What if you're clearing the room right right, when the

21
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.280
world's most famous knows this stuff, person would tell you to.

22
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.959
Stay and there's a problem.

23
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.439
Well, that's what this conversation is. It's not hype, it's

24
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.640
not mystery. It's just Suzanne calmly pointing out that emptiness

25
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.680
isn't the goal every time, and that curiosity beats effort.

26
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.400
If you're frustrated because you're doing what you were told

27
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.840
and still looping, what if trying harder is the wrong instruction,

28
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.879
and what if one grounded reframe changes how you experience

29
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:41.319
meditation entirely.

30
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:43.239
That's a lot of questions.

31
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.439
It's a lot of questions, and Suzanne has a lot

32
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.120
of answers. That is the conversation today with the one

33
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.000
and only Suzanne Geeseman on this week's episode of The

34
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.640
Skeptic Metaphysicians. My name is Will and I'm garous, and

35
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.920
unlike Molder and Scully, believe. So we've embarked in the

36
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.120
journey of discovery.

37
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.719
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and

38
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:04.560
me physical world.

39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.959
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences. I even

40
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.479
joined a coven of witches.

41
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.919
And wait, you joined a coven yep.

42
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.960
All the interests of finding something, anything that will prove

43
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.120
that there's something beyond this physical.

44
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.439
Three dimensional world we all live in.

69
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.800
Today's guest is a former US Navy commander who didn't

70
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.759
abandon logic on her spiritual path. She brought it with her.

71
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.759
And what makes her extraordinary isn't just what she knows,

72
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.120
it's how rigorously she questions it, tests it, and teaches

73
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.319
others to do the same. She doesn't lead with fear,

74
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.719
she doesn't sell certainty. She leads by modeling clarity, discipline,

75
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:21.920
and deep personal responsibility. And honestly, we're just grateful, grateful

76
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.519
for her time, grateful for her steadiness, and grateful that

77
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.879
someone with her depth and integrity is willing to sit

78
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.959
down with us and with you for a real conversation. Hey,

79
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.040
there's Suzanne Geezman. Thank you so much for coming on

80
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.120
the show today. How are you doing?

81
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.519
I am doing great. I get to talk about my

82
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.439
favorite subjects, so oh yay, really we do too?

83
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.920
All right, Well, I'm pretty sure that almost everyone who

84
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.480
is listening to the show right now is familiar with

85
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.319
who you are and your story, but there are always

86
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.759
some people that are tuning in for the first time,

87
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.120
and so for their benefit, would you mind just giving

88
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.319
us a little taste of how you got mixed up

89
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.120
into all this because you don't come from a traditional

90
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.399
place where people would think do you become a medium

91
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.519
from right?

92
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.160
First of all, starting with my family, no religious background,

93
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.839
no spiritual background, nobody saw spirits. I never saw spirits,

94
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.360
and never even any talk about the afterlife was quickly

95
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.800
squashed because my parents were short of The big curtain

96
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.759
came down and that was it, and so I didn't

97
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.399
even dive into that. Then I joined the military because

98
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.000
my older brother had a career in the Air Force,

99
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.519
and I thought that looks really great. So I joined

100
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.600
the Navy and spent twenty years as a naval officer,

101
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.120
rose to the rank of command or had command of

102
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.160
a shore unit. I was in the Navy when most

103
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.160
women were not allowed on ships. So I oh, served

104
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.800
the shore, but I had some really great tours taught

105
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.199
at the Naval Academy. It just nine different assignments. The

106
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.560
most exciting one was when the Chairman of the Joint

107
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.240
Chiefs of Staff asked me to be his aide de camp.

108
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.000
That meant got to fly on Air Force one with

109
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.600
the President, said inn on Figger hearings on Capital, He'll,

110
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.240
I mean really serving at the highest level of the

111
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:07.519
US military. So very exciting, but very left brain career

112
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.480
and pretty rigid too. But I know now that I

113
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.560
must have been rather intuitive because I got that job

114
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.319
as the ad because I was really good at seeing

115
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.079
what he needed. But was that really just using my

116
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.360
left brain to stay out of trouble? I'm not sure.

117
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.680
I didn't question life until nine eleven, when I was

118
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.800
in the last aircraft in US airspace and came back

119
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.519
to our burning office building, the Pentagon, staring at that

120
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:41.360
gaping hole and thinking, these were my colleagues, who are

121
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:47.319
now what I mean? You know, one minute here, one

122
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.199
minute where gone? So I started asking the deep questions then,

123
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.079
but I didn't have a way of getting answers. I

124
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.040
didn't find any satisfactory answers, and so I set that aside,

125
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.399
and the day I had twenty years in the Navy,

126
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.439
I retired with my husband so we could go live

127
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.879
our dreams. Having seen what happened to people who were

128
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:10.120
my friends and killed on one so I realized now

129
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.199
that each one of us comes here for an opportunity

130
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.279
for our souls to shine, and mine was not fully shining.

131
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:20.120
Simple.

132
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.120
I mean, I was friendly and loving, but I didn't

133
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.879
really understand the depths of our connectiveness with everybody. And

134
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.560
I was caught up in my own story just like

135
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.560
most people are. And so sailing across the Atlantic Ocean,

136
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.160
sailing around the Mediterranean on our sailboat, that was how

137
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.240
I escaped from the world until my stepdaughter was struck

138
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.759
and killed by lightning. Yeah, she was a sergeant in

139
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.319
the Marine Corps, is crossing the flight line. A bolt

140
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.600
literally out of the blue sky killed her and her

141
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.839
unborn baby, our only grandchild, Gees. And so now I'm

142
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.279
back to asking these deep questions again, but this time

143
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.519
it was really personal, and the big transition for me

144
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.319
was seeing her body at the viewing at her funeral

145
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.360
and just suddenly having an epiphany that there's a part

146
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.120
of us that can't be killed. I knew that Susan

147
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.040
had to still exist in some form, and by some coincidence,

148
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.000
I'm using air quotes here. I'd been led to a

149
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.399
book about medium six weeks before Susan passed, and I

150
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.120
read it and some of the things I read just

151
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.759
sounded silly and fanciful, and I hid the book so

152
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.799
my husband wouldn't see what I was reading.

153
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.080
String to a medium.

154
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.200
It's just ridiculous that something universe has.

155
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.039
But I would expect, especially because of the world you

156
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.440
came from. It was very pragmatic. Is even in the

157
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.240
word it's more gosh.

158
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.919
Everything like regimented and just regimented.

159
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.480
Yeah, yeah, so you weren't really, I mean, you wouldn't

160
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.240
think someone in your place would have a way to

161
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.799
wrap your mind around something like.

162
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.240
This, didn't. I remember on nine to eleven going to

163
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.159
the chaplain's office and picking up books pamphlets that they

164
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.200
had laying around, and that just did not provide the

165
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.039
answers that I needed, because it was a deeper longing

166
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.759
from the soul than what dogma would just teach us

167
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:15.480
by culture.

168
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.360
Yeah, yeaheez, oh my gosh.

169
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:23.559
And so then after your the viewing of your daughter.

170
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:31.200
Did it did something? Just like how did you got

171
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:31.679
the eyes?

172
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:32.919
Or right?

173
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.159
This story is told beautifully in a documentary that was

174
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.320
produced last year that gives real proof of the afterlife

175
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.960
of you're skeptical metaphysicians. You would love Wolf's message. It's

176
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.480
it's proof. I can use that word proof that we're souls.

177
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:52.200
But I tell the long story there. The short story

178
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.399
is I began meditating that week when Susan died. This

179
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.519
was two thousand and six, when meditation was not as

180
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.240
common as it is now, and it's still not common enough,

181
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.600
because it will change your life if you just spend

182
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:10.399
a few minutes a day sitting in stillness. But I sat,

183
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.759
not realizing I was training myself for mediumship because I

184
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:19.320
held a single pointed focus. Susan, show yourself to me

185
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.559
with my eyes closed, I would sit, and that required

186
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.960
me to watch how my mind worked. I didn't realize

187
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.159
I was training myself in focus, concentration, and quieting the mind.

188
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:34.720
And Susan held back for three years on purpose. She

189
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.600
later told me from the spirit world because I had

190
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.080
so much to learn. If she had come through right away,

191
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.480
it would have been mission accomplished great here, Susan got her,

192
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.639
Now what's next in my life? But instead, I was

193
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.759
not going to stop daily meditation till I connected with her.

194
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.759
So in the meantime, my intuition came back online because

195
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.120
that's what happens when you meditate. And then I also

196
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.519
took my husband to a medium. He didn't even know

197
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.559
what one was. I read this book, so I said, well,

198
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.639
let's see if it's true. So we went to a

199
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.480
meetingum without giving her our name so she couldn't google

200
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:11.279
us and find out about Susan. And she left both

201
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.879
of us in tears with the evidence that Susan was

202
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.200
right here if you know where too. My husband was

203
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.399
a destroyer captain maybe captain. He is not gullible, and

204
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.360
there was no denying she was right there.

205
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.120
That's incredible, you know. And it kind of going back

206
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.080
to it about being in the military and talking about

207
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.960
kind of making that leap and doing the meditation. It's

208
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.559
interesting because sometimes you have to have that sort of

209
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.759
military like discipline to make yourself meditate all the time.

210
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.879
So even though you might think it might be a

211
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:47.279
hindrance to getting to this more spiritual place, I think

212
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.600
it actually probably helped you to I know I do

213
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:50.200
that focus.

214
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.759
Yeah, because until then, my number one priority every day

215
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.320
in the military we call physical fitness PET physical training,

216
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.600
and every day it was got a pee every day

217
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.360
every day. So even after I retired, I'm still that

218
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.320
way seven days. But meditation became the new priority one,

219
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.960
so now I had two priorities every day, and so

220
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.320
it definitely was discipline. But I tell those who say,

221
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.320
but I don't have any discipline, then the better word

222
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.879
is commitment, because when you know in your heart that

223
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.080
your loved one who you're just so long to connect

224
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.519
with still is here, because it's something nobody can tell

225
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.480
you otherwise about. When you know you know, then don't

226
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:36.159
worry about discipline. That longing, that knowing that leads to

227
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:37.600
commitment and it works.

228
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.360
And when you said you knew that she was there

229
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.320
and that you both left the session crying, was it

230
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.440
a feeling or was it like actual proof she said

231
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.159
something and you're like, oh my gosh, only you would

232
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:50.679
know that, or that's it.

233
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.000
It's the latter because it took me several years to

234
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.279
get to the point where I would feel the presence

235
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.279
of spirit. And even when Susan came in the first

236
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.000
time I knew was he her, more by the sound

237
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.399
of her voice and the feel of her personality than

238
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:10.240
seeing her. But the medium gave us piece after piece

239
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.759
of evidence that she couldn't possibly have known. There's a

240
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.000
young woman who passed suddenly in her twenties. She's wearing

241
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.399
a brown uniform. She was a marine. She was calling

242
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:26.000
my husband ty Daddy. But the biggest clincher was when

243
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.799
she said, oh wait, oh, wait, one other thing. She said,

244
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.360
I have this tingly electrical feeling running up and down

245
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.080
my body and she died suddenly. You know it's and

246
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.360
I have this. I have the headache of Zeus and Athena.

247
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:43.320
Zus is the god of lightning and the tingly lightning strike.

248
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.679
But the biggest one was when she said, wait, wait,

249
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.559
there's somebody else here. She's bringing with her a little

250
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.480
baby boy she wants to introduce to you. Wow, oh

251
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.559
my god, Susan was pregnant with a boy. Yeah. Wow.

252
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.440
We were just sobbing because yeah, we can't make that up.

253
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.200
Oh my gosh.

254
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.240
There was more, but those are the biggest rounds.

255
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.600
So selfishly, I've got to ask a question because I

256
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.960
have been meditating every day for a very long time,

257
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.639
and nothing has ever struck me as strongly as this

258
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.559
has struck you. So I must be doing it wrong, so.

259
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:30.600
Wrong.

260
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:38.519
So but because my meditations are so, I'm full disclosure.

261
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.679
I'm a Gemini. I get I get bored very easily,

262
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.200
and so if I stick with one particular thing too often,

263
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.840
I lose interest in it. So I some days will

264
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.919
do mindfulness meditation. Other ones will be focused meditations. Others

265
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:58.759
will be journeys. It should it always just be focused

266
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.080
citations for this.

267
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.000
There's no should. But what's most helpful is a very

268
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:08.240
clear intention each time. And so I'm glad you're doing

269
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:14.000
journeys because those can be fascinating and revelatory. Michael has

270
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.159
usually been to connect with some being that can share

271
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.080
with me insights and information I don't know that will

272
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.240
serve me and the greater good. So that greater motive

273
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.399
is very helpful as well. Right, It's not just to

274
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.240
puff up your ego. Oh wow, I connected with Albert Einstein.

275
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.039
You know it's going to provide something of value that

276
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.480
furthers your awareness of who we all really are as

277
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:37.879
a soul.

278
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.159
Okay, So my goal has always been to empty the vessel.

279
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:47.120
It's been Sherry Flake said that meditation is not about

280
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.000
not thinking about anything, but rather just thinking about one

281
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.240
thing constantly.

282
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.440
And you've probably done that, and you have experienced a

283
00:15:55.639 --> 00:16:00.919
few blissful moments of just emptiness. Yes, but that emptiness,

284
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.759
that pure awareness, now has so much potential. Let it

285
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.320
arise as some awesome experience. So you're no wonder you're

286
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.960
not having experiences. You want to be empty? I say,

287
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.919
fill it up, bring it up, all right. So it

288
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:16.559
makes a lot of sense like that.

289
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.279
I mean it does, but it goes contrary to everything

290
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.559
that I've learned in terms of how to do meditation.

291
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.720
So see, and this is what we talk about. So

292
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.360
we've been doing this podcast together for years. We're married,

293
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.600
we've been together for a very long time, and everyone

294
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.759
thinks that we think the same, but we actually don't

295
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:39.159
at all. And I know, right, but I think everyone's

296
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.679
you know, you can, you can read the books and

297
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.080
do all that, which are wonderful, wonderful tools, but everyone

298
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.679
is going to have that very different experience, so you

299
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.279
can't necessarily say only what works for one person's going

300
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.039
to work for someone else.

301
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.840
Okay, So then I am now empty and now I'm

302
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:58.480
asking universe to fill me up. Is there a specific

303
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.159
way to do that? Or do I just see what happens.

304
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.240
I have a method I call the seven steps to

305
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.200
connect them with higher consciousness. And the seven steps form

306
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.960
the acronym bless me. And it's breathing deeply, lifting your vibration,

307
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.640
expanding your energy field, surrendering the identification that you are

308
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.680
this person with a name.

309
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:19.960
And then the.

310
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.920
Shift is basically not shifting higher, not shifting outside your body,

311
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:28.000
that's the second s and bless me, but shifting to

312
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.559
I call source joy, shift to joy, and that is

313
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:39.640
the emptiness. Now joy can show up in its limitless manifestations.

314
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.720
So the next stage is m merge. Merge with one

315
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.640
of those manifestations in awareness as awareness. So you sit

316
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.519
here and you can actually say, okay, whoever wants to

317
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.519
come to me now because it's going to provide me

318
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.559
some learning. Come now. And now you go back to emptiness.

319
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:01.039
And the final letter E is experience. And now you

320
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.880
sit empty, but you've invited someone in. So for this session,

321
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.519
you're going to listen, look and notice what stands out

322
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.640
from the emptiness. It's all awareness.

323
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.440
Yep, I've been definitely doing it wrong wrong.

324
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.640
You're probably far more peaceful and intuitive than most of

325
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.079
the people you know, so you haven't done anything wrong.

326
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.160
You're just now going to shift your focus and have

327
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.920
what I call more adventures and consciousness.

328
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:29.799
Oh I like that.

329
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.279
I love that, And I think also not necessarily having

330
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.920
the expectations because you know, if not you but a

331
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.519
lot of people expect to feel a certain way, and

332
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.720
I'm kind of my thing is just like, surprise me now,

333
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:43.960
let me know you're there. But it's perfect.

334
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.640
Yeah, that's I just said. I do, I put out

335
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.799
on I do a podcast every Sunday and then I

336
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.200
have a short video every Wednesday. And last week was

337
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:54.680
some of the things that get in the way, and

338
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.920
one of them is assumptions, and that's all on my

339
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.440
YouTube channel. But assumptions such as you're going to have

340
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.880
bells and whistles now every time it's not going to happen,

341
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.759
will so be happy. It's okay when there when nothing happens,

342
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.599
but buckle your seat belt because there will be sometimes

343
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.240
but we don't always know how that will show up.

344
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:17.480
Well, it's funny because I think there's a very specific

345
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.839
reason why I am experiencing what I'm experiencing. Basically, when

346
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:22.559
we first started this, I was all about the bells

347
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.359
and whistles. I want to ask project, I want to

348
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.200
talk to the dead. I want to all that, right,

349
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:31.559
I want all the all the toys. So I had

350
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.880
to actually come to center to the point where I

351
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.480
can be let go of all that and just be

352
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.079
and then allow it to open up to let whatever

353
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.440
comes through come through. So that makes perfect sense.

354
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.160
I just yeah, And that is the normal path. So

355
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.480
you're not doing anything wrong. You're actually at that beautiful

356
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:54.000
stage now. And I know that joy and its various

357
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.440
manifestations holds back until just the right time. So as

358
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.000
you learn to trust, you say, well, if nothing's happened,

359
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.200
and then we're just in this fallow period of germination,

360
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.960
and I can't wait to see what happens. But I'll

361
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.559
be patient.

362
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.480
I trust.

363
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.480
Right, I'm at the point where it's not so much

364
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:22.640
trust but rather Okay, whatever I'm surrendered to, nothing's gonna happen.

365
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:24.880
And that's fine. I'm enjoying the bliss and I'm in it.

366
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.880
I see a tremendous, wonderful change in me, and I

367
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:31.599
am enjoying who I am these days because of this.

368
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:38.000
If something's meant to now I'll be more intentional in where.

369
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.519
Please, because you just gave away a big key right there.

370
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.759
I'm surrendered to nothing's going to happen. See that underlying

371
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.759
bs this belief system, belief system.

372
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:49.359
What do you think?

373
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.640
So if that's surrender, but I believe, well it's just emptiness.

374
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.160
I'm surrendered. Nothing's gonna happen. You're creating that. You're co

375
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.279
creating that. So now just do what Karen said, just

376
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.839
be curious and say maybe it well, maybe won't, but

377
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.720
I can't wait for to just watch it unfold.

378
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.839
And I think sometimes you think that things aren't happening.

379
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:10.640
But we got to see the peace monks.

380
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:11.640
We didn't.

381
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.880
That was amazing. That was the most amazing thing you did.

382
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.720
But well yeah I saw it from a distance, but

383
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.160
just being close to them was good enough for me.

384
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:21.640
Yeah, And just little things that we wouldn't you know,

385
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.839
we didn't expect that to happen. There's this winter storm coming,

386
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:25.880
there's no way. We're like, let's get in the car,

387
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.799
get the kid, get the dog because we can get

388
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.079
a dog watch, and let's just drive out to a

389
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:32.880
couple hours and just find a hotel and you know

390
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.400
all of those things.

391
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.519
My friends just did that three days ago.

392
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.359
This is amazing. It was. It was amazing.

393
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:43.000
That's where we were. It was three days ago.

394
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:46.359
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's because they were freezing. Yeah,

395
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.640
it was.

396
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.960
We were in the same we were placing next to

397
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.279
each other.

398
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.880
Probably very possibly Karen woud chalk drawings on the road.

399
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:54.920
Did you see chalk drawing?

400
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.880
I don't think we did. We saw all and snow,

401
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:00.680
lots of snow.

402
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:01.000
Yeah.

403
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:05.559
All right, so okay, so sorry to have gone down

404
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:10.160
that little detour, but I thought it was interesting. So

405
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.799
now that you have you open yourself and you got

406
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.559
undefatible proof that this is true, that this is really

407
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:24.359
you're connected to your daughter, how did you deepen that

408
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.880
connection and transition into a broader mediumship.

409
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.279
Well, after that reading with the medium, I just knew

410
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:34.440
I had to share with the world this is credible,

411
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.160
that there are credible mediums out here and that evidence

412
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.799
will change your life, not just oh, your grandmother's here

413
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.720
and loves you very much. So I found a credible

414
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.680
medium and gayman, and she agreed to let me write

415
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.279
her biography. That became my first hay House book, The

416
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:54.160
priest and the medium. And then I met her next

417
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.720
door neighbor at lily Dale in New York, where a

418
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:01.079
medium community, and that was Janet I don't havoc. And

419
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:05.480
she asked me to write her biography. She was a

420
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:08.240
wonderful medium. She crossed the veil about two years ago.

421
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.799
And so in writing her book, I needed to study

422
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:16.960
how she worked. And she taught mediumshift. So I sat

423
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.359
in the back of her classroom watching and thinking, Wow,

424
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:23.759
you can teach this. There are systems. Can you imagine

425
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:28.119
how my military brain love her. You mean, you can say,

426
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.720
every time you sit to do a reading, I want

427
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.599
you to tell me how you passed, how old you were,

428
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:35.680
what kind of work you did, and all these things

429
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.480
a list and they'll give it to you. Well I

430
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.720
could trust that then, yeah. And so I'm sitting there

431
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.839
just to write her book and she pointsed me in

432
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.119
the back of the room and says, Suzanne, there's a

433
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.680
spirit here, come up here and tell us what you send.

434
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.920
I could have killed her, you know, I had no

435
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.200
idea I had these abilities, but she did. Janet did

436
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.480
and re enacted this scene in my documentary Messages of Hope,

437
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.599
which is on YouTube and Amazon Prime, and I just

438
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.960
stood there and closed my eyes, and I did not

439
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.799
feel any spirit. To this day, I do very clearly,

440
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.119
but at that time nothing. But I sensed a man

441
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:23.799
in his seventies who was an engineer and passed from cancer.

442
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:27.400
All about the things from the list, and I'm thinking,

443
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.400
I'm pulling data out of the air. This is just stupid,

444
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:30.680
you know.

445
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.200
I thought this.

446
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.559
Is not real.

447
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:35.880
And this woman in a classroom raised her hand and said,

448
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.559
that's my dad. He was seventy, an engineer, died of cancer.

449
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.279
And I thought, I'm trying to do the math. What

450
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:44.960
are the chances of that? What are the statistics. Meanwhile,

451
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.440
here's Janet saying, yeah, that feels right, and he's showing

452
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:51.200
me his birthday was March thirty first or whatever date.

453
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:54.119
She said it was the right day. And the girl

454
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.759
goes yeah, And I'm looking at Janet saying, you mean

455
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.519
there really is somebody here. You mean I got that

456
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.279
from spirit? And Janet pushed me two more times, get

457
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.200
some more, Susanne, get some more. All I wanted to

458
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.559
do was sit down, but she's pushing me, and that

459
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:09.480
Navy training, well, I'm not going to say I can't

460
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:09.720
do it.

461
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.240
Right.

462
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.880
So I just stood there, shut my eyes. And the

463
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.880
biggest life changing moment for me was when I said,

464
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.880
I see a pair of black patent leather shoes and

465
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:24.200
I hear the name twinkle toes. And his daughter said,

466
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.079
my dad was a ballroom dancer and more patent leather shoes,

467
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:31.160
and my mom always called them twinkle toes eat out

468
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:35.880
of towels. And I remember, I mean, that's one piece

469
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.400
of evidence. I could now fill forty eight hours of

470
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:43.000
interview with wows because the spirit world knows I'm not

471
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:45.160
going to do this work unless they give me wows.

472
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:48.319
Almost every reading I got to get wells. If I don't,

473
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.240
I call off the reading. But you can train yourself

474
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.640
to do that. But that was a moment for me

475
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.920
where I said, you mean I could bring the kind

476
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:01.799
of life changing comfort, healing and growth to others like

477
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:05.039
that medium did for our family. I could do this too,

478
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:08.480
And from that moment on, my life has never been

479
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.000
the same because it's been my passion and ask my

480
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.839
husband my obsession, how much more clear can we make

481
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.119
this connection? So the meditation continued. I had not even

482
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.440
connected with Susan yet at that point, but I could

483
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.119
do it. Too. I continued that as my daily practice,

484
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.519
but made the acquaintance of guides and beings that I

485
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.839
used to just totally dismiss as fanciful. But I required

486
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.559
evidence and I would get it. So just open up

487
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.279
so much for me. But my main focus now is

488
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.880
I don't want to be pigeonholed as a medium. To me,

489
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:50.720
mediumship has been a fabulous path to self realization, to

490
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.519
coming to know who we are. So my main goal

491
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:55.480
is to teach people to live what I call the

492
00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:00.960
Awakened Way. It's basically based on three principles. That we're

493
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:05.039
not only human, like the songs say, like the excuses

494
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:06.119
we make, well, I'm only human.

495
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:06.880
No, you're not.

496
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:14.039
Access to information and love and peace, wow, things we

497
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.279
don't think we could possibly access. And then number two,

498
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.240
we're part of this amazing interconnected web on both sides

499
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:24.480
of the veil, physical and non physical, and what does

500
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:27.000
that mean for you? How would that change your life

501
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.119
if that were true? And then the third one is

502
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:36.119
that where there's no separation, that's love. So because we're

503
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:39.119
part of this web, love is what guides us. Love

504
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.920
is our source, Love is why we're here. And if

505
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.720
we're not expressing it. That's why your life is not flowing.

506
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:51.599
You are so speaking Karen's language right now.

507
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.920
Absolutely, And say, one of the things that that I

508
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:58.960
harp on a lot is so many people have certain

509
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.400
expectations of what love and it's so much more than

510
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:05.160
a romance or a mother daughter or like any of

511
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:07.920
those relationships. It's everything. It's so much more than that.51200:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.039



And I think that's what people need to understand, because51300:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.519



when they don't have that one relationship, they feel like51400:28:12.519 --> 00:28:14.799



they don't have love in their life. Well, there's plenty51500:28:14.839 --> 00:28:16.200



of other ways to experience it.51600:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.119



Oh yes, Yeah. When people are grieving a loved one,51700:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.720



they go inside, they shut themselves off, And I say51800:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.119



the best way to heal is go serve somebody some way,51900:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.960



or an animal, get out in nature, because that's love,52000:28:31.359 --> 00:28:37.480



connecting with something outside of yourself through what's inside you. Right.52100:28:38.359 --> 00:28:41.240



Yes, it's so interesting that we're talking about. I mean,52200:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.240



the universe works are such beautiful ways. We just talked52300:28:44.279 --> 00:28:47.240



about going to see the monks three days ago. One52400:28:47.279 --> 00:28:50.000



thing we didn't mention, sorry, carrying them mounting you here.52500:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.119



But as soon as they passed, we got back in52600:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.559



the car and we were starting to drive away, and52700:28:54.599 --> 00:29:01.599



she opened up just boss sobbing from the sheer joy52800:29:01.599 --> 00:29:05.680



and love that she experienced from just having that. It52900:29:05.799 --> 00:29:11.119



was what twelve seconds with a monk that just opened53000:29:11.200 --> 00:29:16.200



up her heart so completely. That and even the whole53100:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.079



walk everything that they did, the twenty three hundred mile53200:29:19.359 --> 00:29:23.279



truck that they're doing with Barefoot across the country in53300:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.119



the name of peace and love. If you hear them talking,53400:29:26.960 --> 00:29:32.039



they're talked all about mindfulness and love and so just53500:29:32.079 --> 00:29:35.519



something that's simple as the interaction with the monk shows53600:29:35.559 --> 00:29:38.119



you what love actually the power that love has.53700:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.400



So and that's why mediumship is such a beautiful path53800:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.400



to that awareness, because you can't get information that you53900:29:45.440 --> 00:29:50.079



don't know without questioning how is that possible? That one54000:29:50.200 --> 00:29:52.839



question is what led me down this whole path to54100:29:52.880 --> 00:29:58.279



self realization because you can't explain with only the physical54200:29:58.279 --> 00:30:03.680



senses how you can know and feel things from somebody54300:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.400



who has died.54400:30:05.000 --> 00:30:08.160



Yeah, it's a funny because and the very open the54500:30:08.200 --> 00:30:10.240



intro to our show, we talk about how I've always54600:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.599



needed something to like the proof. I needed to touch54700:30:12.640 --> 00:30:14.839



the feel it to understand this is more than this54800:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.279



three dimensional world that we live in and all this time,54900:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.119



I'm getting things here and there a little bit, but55000:30:22.279 --> 00:30:24.480



to get the information that you got that was so55100:30:25.119 --> 00:30:31.359



completely undeniable. That's the things that are still just fleeting55200:30:31.359 --> 00:30:32.799



from me. They haven't received yet.55300:30:32.880 --> 00:30:33.000



Right.55400:30:33.079 --> 00:30:34.160



I know what care is gonna say.55500:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.079



This is the key to this is that that was55600:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.240



two thousand and nine or eight end of two thousand55700:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.720



and eight. Susan passed in two thousand and six. I55800:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.400



had been sitting in stillness daily every day for hundreds55900:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.720



of days by that point, saying Susan, show yourself to me,56000:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.119



and listening. So when Janet said there's a spirit here,56100:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.920



I could immediately find that emptiness we were speaking of,56200:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.680



and it was filled with twinkletoes and cancer an engineer.56300:31:04.920 --> 00:31:09.480



It just boom. It's in awareness because of that training56400:31:09.640 --> 00:31:13.359



the mind to instantly be quiet. You can't keep it quiet.56500:31:13.839 --> 00:31:18.079



But all spirit needs is this little gaps to insert themselves.56600:31:18.240 --> 00:31:23.119



Oh okay, and so here comes the other side of56700:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.960



the coin, the other will thinking. We've all been programmed56800:31:27.000 --> 00:31:30.960



so completely to fear that if we open our vessel,56900:31:31.279 --> 00:31:35.000



something maybe not quite so wonderful might fill it. Do57000:31:35.039 --> 00:31:37.240



you ever have that thought.57100:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.839



Oh, I'm fortunate and that I was not programmed that way,57200:31:40.359 --> 00:31:43.359



so I had no formal religion with scary stuff put57300:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.200



in my mind, and my parents never talked about these things.57400:31:46.480 --> 00:31:49.759



And certainly I'd heard about evil spirits and you have57500:31:49.799 --> 00:31:52.119



to be careful and don't play with ouigi boards and57600:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.680



all those things, but that's just people talking. I was57700:31:55.720 --> 00:31:58.880



willing to put up with anything to connect with Susan myself,57800:31:59.240 --> 00:32:03.319



so I went out with no fear. But I never57900:32:03.359 --> 00:32:06.559



even thought of anything scary coming. And what I experienced58000:32:06.599 --> 00:32:12.079



in that stillness was that expansiveness, connectedness and light that58100:32:12.240 --> 00:32:17.759



left me sobbing. I mean, you want a wow, that's58200:32:17.799 --> 00:32:20.519



the wow to just be crying for no reason other58300:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.640



than your soul is now saying thank you for giving58400:32:23.799 --> 00:32:25.960



enough time that you now feel who you really are.58500:32:26.799 --> 00:32:30.720



And so I came to know I am the light58600:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.640



of awareness. I am the light all of us are,58700:32:35.359 --> 00:32:39.480



and when you hold that awareness, there's no room for darkness.58800:32:40.759 --> 00:32:41.480



That's a cool quation.58900:32:41.519 --> 00:32:44.720



I had, Yeah, one scary experience less than a year ago.59000:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.359



I was fully awake, lying in bed in the dark.59100:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.279



I know I was not dreaming, and sense these creatures59200:32:50.319 --> 00:32:54.680



with talons coming at my throat. Scared the Jesus out59300:32:54.680 --> 00:32:58.000



of me. And I said to my guides immediately silently.59400:32:57.839 --> 00:33:01.119



What is going on here? And he said it's a test.59500:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.279



Just love them and I said, okay, And as silly59600:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.319



as it sounded, I said, I know that nothing can59700:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.440



hurt me. I love you. And it was like the59800:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.839



Wizard of Oz were the witch just dissolved. It was59900:33:16.920 --> 00:33:20.000



just just completely dissolved. And that's what our fears are,60000:33:20.400 --> 00:33:25.680



thought forms that will dissolve in the face of true light.60100:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.240



Well, yeah, because light is so much more powerful than dark,60200:33:28.279 --> 00:33:29.759



because you can have a dark room and you light60300:33:29.759 --> 00:33:31.440



a candle and you see the light. You have a60400:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.519



bright room and you can't really bring in a little60500:33:33.559 --> 00:33:35.359



candle's worth of darkness. It's not going to take the60600:33:35.440 --> 00:33:36.240



light away from the room.60700:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.519



I mean, these are all statements, but they're absolutely true.60800:33:40.960 --> 00:33:44.240



And it's the personal experience of that that will convince60900:33:44.319 --> 00:33:45.240



everybody listening.61000:33:46.839 --> 00:33:51.480



Yeah, that's the trick, is getting that personal experience. Because61100:33:51.519 --> 00:33:55.079



we've talked to people in a space for over four61200:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.799



years now, and I mean not that we doubt at all,61300:33:59.720 --> 00:34:03.200



but it's always like you're always I'm always searching for61400:34:03.240 --> 00:34:07.960



that thing, and I feel like I've gotten glimpses of it.61500:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.400



But well, I think also you have to have that61600:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.639



awareness again of the expectations is not necessarily you're not61700:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.639



going to see how you're expecting to, like the coffee61800:34:16.760 --> 00:34:19.199



thing just the other day, you know, so I've been61900:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.840



you know, I had an illness that I dealt with recently,62000:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.239



and you know, sometimes you feel alone and it's like,62100:34:24.280 --> 00:34:26.519



all right, Universe, I thought you had my back, you know,62200:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.199



when I need some help. What's going on? And so62300:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.320



little things are starting to happen, like all the time,62400:34:31.320 --> 00:34:35.000



and the most in my face one was just yesterday morning.62500:34:35.559 --> 00:34:37.679



I was getting some coffee and I was out of milk,62600:34:37.719 --> 00:34:39.480



and I'm like, oh, I think I have like somewhere62700:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.920



in the pantry a thing of coffee, the coffee, the62800:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.880



instant whatever stuff. So I'm like, okay, So I'm walking62900:34:45.880 --> 00:34:47.719



back through our little hallway to the pantry and there63000:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.559



in the middle of the floor is the coffee stuff.63100:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.239



My dogs on the floor. I mean, these stories all63200:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.400



the time, but I love them, love them. This is63300:34:58.400 --> 00:35:02.280



how the universe enjoys being itself, you know, by reprising63400:35:02.320 --> 00:35:03.119



itself like that.63500:35:03.159 --> 00:35:05.199



And it's like, see, we got your back, you know,63600:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.960



maybe not how you expected and you might not notice it,63700:35:08.199 --> 00:35:09.280



but we got you back.63800:35:09.800 --> 00:35:12.440



At the very end of the day. These conversations alone,63900:35:12.519 --> 00:35:14.679



like having a conversation with you, says An for example,64000:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.119



it is it's amazing to have someone that is such64100:35:19.280 --> 00:35:23.159



a renowned spiritual leader as you on the show, because64200:35:23.199 --> 00:35:26.480



every conversation that we have with folks like you helps64300:35:26.599 --> 00:35:29.159



me to bring that forward a little bit further, and64400:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.960



those are listening or watching the same things. So first,64500:35:32.000 --> 00:35:34.760



thank you very much for reminding us of that. But64600:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.840



curious now that you have your feet are very firmly64700:35:38.920 --> 00:35:41.880



on this side of the world. For lack of a64800:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.039



better terms, when we're talking about the military versus the spiritual,64900:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.000



you don't usually bring military and spiritual, those two worlds65000:35:49.079 --> 00:35:53.599



together very often. You would, Yeah, I wish you would. Absolutely,65100:35:55.039 --> 00:36:00.840



So your life in the military now feel like a65200:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.159



dream or something like, it's such a different different Well.65300:36:04.000 --> 00:36:08.760



When I hear people reading my biography, I just say, wow,65400:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.320



that is that was a different world. Very very proud65500:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.800



of my time in the military. Unfortunately, it's a necessary65600:36:17.480 --> 00:36:21.039



system right now because there are a lot of bunny65700:36:21.280 --> 00:36:25.760



unawakened people all over the world. Yes, and yet it65800:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.599



is so totally different right now. I love my freedom,65900:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.440



you know, freedom to think. I mean we always have66000:36:32.440 --> 00:36:36.159



a freedom of speech and all that, but just the66100:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.599



freedom to be completely myself.66200:36:38.719 --> 00:36:39.400



Yeah.66300:36:39.440 --> 00:36:44.400



Absolutely, But also the connection right amongst everybody. We talk66400:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.920



about the fact that we're all connect, that we're all wandered,66500:36:46.960 --> 00:36:51.159



that we're all part of something bigger. I don't know66600:36:51.440 --> 00:36:52.079



the military.66700:36:53.519 --> 00:36:55.480



Oh, I'll correct that misconception.66800:36:55.639 --> 00:36:55.920



Okay.66900:36:56.679 --> 00:36:59.960



I have never known a more a greater feeling of67000:37:00.079 --> 00:37:03.480



camaraderie then when I was in the military. The shared67100:37:03.559 --> 00:37:07.639



sense of mission and the way they support each other67200:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.880



like family, that was so sorely missing when I retired.67300:37:11.920 --> 00:37:16.199



It was stunning. You're on your own now, wow, No,67400:37:16.239 --> 00:37:21.519



this instant bonding with your colleagues. So they have a oneness.67500:37:21.519 --> 00:37:24.519



And you just reminded me that the US Army's motto67600:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.400



is an Army of one, and everybody thought that was67700:37:26.440 --> 00:37:29.960



so silly, but they understand oneness. And the Marines. They67800:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.039



train Marines immediately to stop using the pronoun I. You're67900:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.360



only allowed to refer to yourself in boot camp as68000:37:36.559 --> 00:37:39.800



this recruit, so that you think in terms of the68100:37:39.920 --> 00:37:46.119



units instead of yourself. They completely help you to in68200:37:46.239 --> 00:37:48.920



interesting ways to get rid of that sense of me68300:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.519



and self. So really they're doing some spiritual work but68400:37:52.960 --> 00:37:59.559



for different pose, unbeknownst to themselves. Is so.68500:38:00.480 --> 00:38:03.880



Then you mentioned the world that we're living in right now,68600:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.199



and there's a lot of challenges that are that every day,68700:38:07.559 --> 00:38:09.280



every day there's a new challenge you wake up to.68800:38:10.000 --> 00:38:11.320



Isn't that true?68900:38:11.840 --> 00:38:15.440



How can someone who is not even on a spiritual path,69000:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.800



but we're on a spiritual path, but someone just any69100:38:17.800 --> 00:38:23.400



irregular person, how can you get beyond the fear the69200:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.440



challenges that they're running into every day.69300:38:26.840 --> 00:38:31.440



It's truly essential to come to know all of us69400:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.199



beyond the stories we're acting out right now, beyond the drama.69500:38:35.920 --> 00:38:39.400



We really cannot find peace until you find the part69600:38:39.440 --> 00:38:41.800



of you that never changes and the part of you69700:38:41.880 --> 00:38:45.239



that's the same in everyone else. You're familiar with the69800:38:45.280 --> 00:38:48.559



phrase no must say that's in spiritual honor the place69900:38:48.599 --> 00:38:50.440



than you that is of love and light. When we're70000:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.920



in that place together, we're one that sounds lovely. But70100:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.880



you have to experience that and be able to access70200:38:56.960 --> 00:39:01.239



that so that you can observe the drama and say yes.70300:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.119



And this is a story on top of the piece70400:39:05.159 --> 00:39:09.280



that's already here. And my Sip of the Divine, a70500:39:09.360 --> 00:39:14.119



three minute practice SIP stands for sit in peace, will70600:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.320



help you with that because you really only need three70700:39:17.400 --> 00:39:21.559



minutes a day to sit and notice the mind. And70800:39:21.599 --> 00:39:25.639



those gaps start getting a little longer. You'll never completely70900:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.800



stop them. But you find that piece sitting in peace71000:39:29.840 --> 00:39:31.840



three minutes a day, and there are no excuses from71100:39:31.880 --> 00:39:35.599



that one will and Karen, you can't say I don't71200:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.760



have the time to meditate because you can easily spend71300:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.400



five minutes making and sipping a cup of coffee. So71400:39:40.440 --> 00:39:43.199



sip the Divine. And then you say, well, I can't71500:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.320



quiet my mind. That's not the point of the Sip71600:39:45.360 --> 00:39:47.840



of the Divine. Watch my video on YouTube Zip of71700:39:47.920 --> 00:39:49.719



the Divine. I'll show you how to do it and71800:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.840



walk you through it, and it's very simple. If you71900:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.599



can do that for three weeks, it'll change your life.72000:39:55.960 --> 00:39:58.920



See that that is so perfect, especially now in our72100:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.679



like no attention span culture and you want to be72200:40:01.800 --> 00:40:04.800



stimulated by something, and it's hard, it's hard to sit down,72300:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.000



especially if you're new to it, and to think of72400:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.599



like doing nothing and have nothing entertaining you. It's just72500:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.559



three minutes, I mean, and I think even that might72600:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.440



be difficult to some people. Three minutes as well, but72700:40:15.519 --> 00:40:17.559



just you got to start somewhere, and I think that's right,72800:40:17.880 --> 00:40:19.880



and it might turn into five minutes and seven minutes.72900:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.519



We're not going to become our long meditators, but sometimes73000:40:22.559 --> 00:40:24.639



you start to feel that piece. And the fun part73100:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.639



about the zip of the divine is once you watch73200:40:27.679 --> 00:40:29.440



your thoughts for a few minutes and you're in a73300:40:29.519 --> 00:40:33.800



nice calm state, you're already an alpha brainway, which is73400:40:33.960 --> 00:40:37.440



optimal for connecting across the veil. You can then ask73500:40:37.519 --> 00:40:41.800



a question, just hoping, what if somebody higher than me73600:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.559



is actually going to hear this question? What is it73700:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.280



I most need to know right now? And because you're73800:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.480



open enough to believe that maybe I'll get an answer,73900:40:50.519 --> 00:40:52.559



you ask that question, and now you go back to74000:40:52.639 --> 00:40:56.880



just sitting in peace, and you may start getting answers74100:40:56.920 --> 00:41:00.239



like a genie in the bottle, but you'll first just74200:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.480



say I'm making this up, and then you'll get information74300:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.000



you didn't expect. Then you'll have things happen that validate74400:41:06.039 --> 00:41:08.559



what you got, and look at now you're really on74500:41:08.599 --> 00:41:09.039



the path.74600:41:09.199 --> 00:41:11.400



And I'm glad you mentioned that the validation because how74700:41:11.440 --> 00:41:14.519



many times have we we've talked about your what comes74800:41:14.519 --> 00:41:17.119



through you? You're not sure? The big question mark is74900:41:17.639 --> 00:41:20.480



how can you know that you're not making it up?75000:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.400



It's validation, right, you have to get external validation is75100:41:23.400 --> 00:41:24.719



the only way, right.75200:41:25.360 --> 00:41:28.519



That And I have a new course called the Forgotten75300:41:28.559 --> 00:41:31.000



Center that talks about the horror the head, the heart,75400:41:31.039 --> 00:41:34.519



and the horror of the three Eastern Philosophy centers of soul.75500:41:34.559 --> 00:41:35.199



Awareness.75600:41:35.360 --> 00:41:38.079



When you move your awareness and take a question or75700:41:38.119 --> 00:41:41.599



something that you've heard into the belly and sit there,75800:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.920



it has a solidness where you know you can trust this,75900:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.440



you know you're not making it up. Whereas if you76000:41:48.599 --> 00:41:52.199



only remain with your awareness in the head, now you're thinking, thinking, thinking,76100:41:52.360 --> 00:41:53.480



yourself out of it.76200:41:54.719 --> 00:41:58.159



There we go. There that's the tool we were missing.76300:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.159



Yeah that Yeah, And I think like for the experiences76400:42:01.239 --> 00:42:04.360



that I've had, I haven't any of the messages that76500:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.920



I've gotten aren't anything that you could really verify that's true.76600:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.079



So I think this might be a better way for76700:42:10.119 --> 00:42:12.679



me to understand it. I'm not making it up or76800:42:14.719 --> 00:42:18.320



some time, But why is it popping in awareness? Is76900:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.000



it helpful? Is it healing?77000:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.280



And I assume the course it can be found on77100:42:24.320 --> 00:42:26.960



your website, it can be Okay, well, we're going to77200:42:26.960 --> 00:42:30.159



add a direct link to your website and your YouTube77300:42:30.199 --> 00:42:32.679



on our show notes, so if you want to connect,77400:42:32.840 --> 00:42:34.400



you can do that. I'm not saying go by it.77500:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.320



I just want to make sure that I've got it correctly.77600:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.239



So and I just was thinking how you've transitions from77700:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.000



someone who is protecting our physical space to now you're77800:42:43.079 --> 00:42:46.039



helping protect our spiritual space. So thank you for everything77900:42:46.039 --> 00:42:49.280



that you're doing with that. And both times, on both sides.78000:42:49.920 --> 00:42:52.320



You made my day. You don't realize it. I just78100:42:53.400 --> 00:42:55.760



I was just just got a haircut an hour ago,78200:42:55.840 --> 00:42:57.880



and the lady in the chair next to me come78300:42:57.880 --> 00:42:59.960



in and on my hair and I turned to look78400:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.559



at her. She only saw me from the side. I78500:43:02.599 --> 00:43:04.519



was seeing her from the side, and I had that78600:43:04.719 --> 00:43:09.360



knowing she knows me and this does not happen that often.78700:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.400



And I said, well, I like your hair too, and78800:43:11.400 --> 00:43:14.320



she turned her head and she goes, Susan, I knew78900:43:14.360 --> 00:43:16.440



me from the work. You know. That was so cool.79000:43:16.760 --> 00:43:18.960



But then you know, the stylists are there and I79100:43:19.000 --> 00:43:20.599



often think, well, what am I going to say when79200:43:20.639 --> 00:43:22.599



They asked, well, why does she know you, and I've79300:43:22.679 --> 00:43:27.280



always replied spiritual teacher. But you said you're a spiritual leader,79400:43:27.920 --> 00:43:32.440



and that lit me up because that's it. I mean,79500:43:32.519 --> 00:43:36.840



I used to train Navy officers in leadership and management,79600:43:37.119 --> 00:43:41.039



and I actually won Humanities Team's Spiritual Leadership Award. So79700:43:41.079 --> 00:43:44.000



I don't know why I haven't been saying that because79800:43:44.760 --> 00:43:47.440



and it's not an ego thing. It's that to me,79900:43:47.800 --> 00:43:52.880



leadership is inspiring others yes, and motivating them to action.80000:43:53.360 --> 00:43:55.159



I don't just want to teach you that you can80100:43:55.199 --> 00:43:57.440



do this too. I want to inspire you to sit80200:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.559



in peace and experience it for yourself. I want to80300:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.800



motivate you to connect with your own love one across80400:44:02.840 --> 00:44:07.960



the veils. So you have just made my day, Karen.80500:44:08.079 --> 00:44:11.599



I think this is my last show. I can finally80600:44:11.639 --> 00:44:15.199



retire because I now have a legacy. From now on.80700:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.840



Suzanne Gieseman's going to tell people she's a spiritual leader.80800:44:17.920 --> 00:44:23.480



That came from me. Yes, next time I see her80900:44:23.519 --> 00:44:30.159



on stage and you go, ah, no, it's one hundred percent.81000:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.280



That's the word that came through very very clearly for me.81100:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.639



Maybe because I knew about your background in the military81200:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.599



and your command and things like that. And I've known81300:44:40.639 --> 00:44:44.159



you as someone who has helped me in the spiritual81400:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.440



sense as well, So it just makes perfect sense.81500:44:48.400 --> 00:44:51.400



And I look at my path and I see that,81600:44:52.360 --> 00:44:55.400



you know, the media needs a hook, books need a hook,81700:44:55.719 --> 00:44:58.639



and it's a really amazing hook. I wasn't just a81800:44:58.719 --> 00:45:00.599



Navy commander to be the to the head of the81900:45:00.679 --> 00:45:05.679



US military. I recognize that as such a gift because82000:45:05.800 --> 00:45:10.360



I really truly hope that people will dive in further82100:45:10.519 --> 00:45:12.880



on their own path when they hear my story, and82200:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.679



they do. So many women come up to me at82300:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.800



my events and they say, oh, thank you because my82400:45:18.960 --> 00:45:22.000



husband now is more willing to be open to this82500:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.400



yere or you know, because they see you with your82600:45:25.480 --> 00:45:27.880



uniform and they hear your background and they don't immediately82700:45:27.920 --> 00:45:32.159



dismiss it. So I'm grateful for that leadership for that,82800:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.159



because this will bring so much joy and love and82900:45:35.199 --> 00:45:39.440



peace and healing and comfort to anyone's life. If you're83000:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.000



willing to set aside the story that says, oh, I83100:45:43.000 --> 00:45:46.280



don't want to look silly, or oh that's bs. It's83200:45:46.320 --> 00:45:49.159



all yes, it's all our belief systems. So dig deeper83300:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.400



and you will be just so pleased with what.83400:45:52.719 --> 00:45:57.119



I cannot agree with you more. It's so important because83500:45:57.159 --> 00:46:00.360



more and more people are waking up. But then, yeah,83600:46:00.440 --> 00:46:03.880



for the longest time this has been like the woo, right,83700:46:04.000 --> 00:46:07.599



the I don't know, these people are kind of kookie83800:46:07.719 --> 00:46:10.440



and out there and I all have green hair and83900:46:10.880 --> 00:46:14.000



you know, wear tied dice shirts and things like that. Right,84000:46:14.199 --> 00:46:18.400



But this is this is goes so far beyond one stereotype.84100:46:18.440 --> 00:46:20.840



And to have someone like you from a different place84200:46:21.119 --> 00:46:25.119



in society as a role model, I'm sure opens up84300:46:25.159 --> 00:46:28.599



the doors to so many different people and I'm I84400:46:28.639 --> 00:46:31.400



can't wait to see what else it takes us. Because84500:46:32.800 --> 00:46:34.639



on top of I mean, I hate to be the84600:46:34.679 --> 00:46:38.239



dead horse, but the leadership thing, you're not just showing84700:46:38.360 --> 00:46:40.760



the way from the fact that you were in the military,84800:46:40.760 --> 00:46:44.199



but you're also you're leading the way into the spiritual84900:46:44.199 --> 00:46:46.719



world aside from the military thing. It's just I think85000:46:46.719 --> 00:46:47.960



that's yeah.85100:46:47.920 --> 00:46:48.599



Oh yeah, it's.85200:46:49.960 --> 00:46:53.039



With the evidence, and that's that's what will change people85300:46:53.079 --> 00:46:56.079



in the personal experience and the and the no other85400:46:56.239 --> 00:46:59.840



explanation moments, n oees. That's what I call it, people85500:47:00.079 --> 00:47:01.760

all have noees without dying?85700:47:04.880 --> 00:47:05.039



Yes?85800:47:05.079 --> 00:47:05.360



Please?85900:47:05.440 --> 00:47:09.480



For that sounds less painful.86000:47:09.360 --> 00:47:14.000



Yeah, not less complicated, for sure. So is there something86100:47:14.440 --> 00:47:16.840



that keeps coming out? A message that keeps coming out86200:47:16.840 --> 00:47:21.480



more and more these days? In we're about to talk86300:47:21.519 --> 00:47:25.199



to some folks about the predictions of twenty twenty six? Right,86400:47:25.239 --> 00:47:27.599



you hear about it all? Twenty twenty six. It's a86500:47:27.800 --> 00:47:29.079



rough year, and it's going to happen.86600:47:30.480 --> 00:47:30.960



The opposite.86700:47:31.320 --> 00:47:33.159



Oh did you? Oh, well that's good.86800:47:33.400 --> 00:47:35.639



See, No, that's what I'm getting that. It's just this86900:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.440



is a wonderful fresh start of the energy is amazing.87000:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.800



I'm not into astrology, but I hear that there's some87100:47:40.840 --> 00:47:43.920



alignments that they haven't seen in thousands of years, and87200:47:43.960 --> 00:47:45.079



it's an exciting time.87300:47:45.119 --> 00:47:46.599



But it just so happens that the last time the87400:47:46.599 --> 00:47:48.639



alignments were in place, it happened during the Civil War,87500:47:49.079 --> 00:47:52.000



you know. So that's why that's why people are seeing87600:47:52.000 --> 00:47:52.440



things in me.87700:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.880



You're already going through that in a sense, I mean.87800:47:54.800 --> 00:47:57.559



One hundred percent, yes, absolutely, So.87900:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.199



Now we can maybe come together in new ways by88000:48:01.280 --> 00:48:02.519



not focusing on the fear.88100:48:03.159 --> 00:48:06.559



That's it. That's it. So that's why I ask you88200:48:06.559 --> 00:48:10.000



that question earlier. Because there's so much rampant fear everywhere88300:48:10.039 --> 00:48:13.199



around the here. But so you're getting the opposite message.88400:48:13.199 --> 00:48:14.320



Your messages that you're getting used.88500:48:14.440 --> 00:48:18.880



So these the anytime you have pain, physical, emotional, spiritual,88600:48:18.960 --> 00:48:23.199



it's an opportunity, it's a symptom, it's something's out of alignment.88700:48:23.440 --> 00:48:25.880



So we go get it fixed. That we can fix88800:48:25.880 --> 00:48:29.119



ourselves from the inside, find that piece and radiate that.88900:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.880



Why did you saw but the monks because they're radiating89000:48:32.920 --> 00:48:36.719



an empty well. So each one of us, what are89100:48:36.760 --> 00:48:40.119



you going to radiate? I trust that I can be89200:48:40.159 --> 00:48:42.280



the presence of peace and make a difference in our world.89300:48:42.320 --> 00:48:46.599



I trust the universe that it is benevolent or oh89400:48:46.639 --> 00:48:48.760



my god, it's going to hell. I can't stand out89500:48:48.760 --> 00:48:51.239



of the person because they think differently than me. Blah89600:48:51.320 --> 00:48:53.719



blah blah. It's a choice, moment by moment.89700:48:54.760 --> 00:48:58.800



So let's say you've run into someone super stubborn, hard headed,89800:48:59.239 --> 00:49:02.920



someone who believes that they know that this stuff is89900:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.360



real or doesn't or knows it's not real. Uh, how90000:49:07.400 --> 00:49:12.800



do you approach that person who says, uh, sorry.90100:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.119



The same way I did when the guys were coming90200:49:15.119 --> 00:49:18.840



at me with the talent, I just love them, and90300:49:19.000 --> 00:49:21.760



I absolutely don't try to change anybody's mind. If they90400:49:21.880 --> 00:49:23.679



asked me to give them an example, I'll give them90500:49:23.719 --> 00:49:26.840



one of my wows like your creamorras.90600:49:26.400 --> 00:49:28.719



Story, whatever you know.90700:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.559



And then if they say, well, that's BS, and I say, well,90800:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.000



I hope you have your own experience. Sometimes it's changed90900:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.760



my life, and then maybe we'll just shift the conversation.91000:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.079



But I don't take go on skeptics because that's not91100:49:39.159 --> 00:49:41.159



my place. They're on their own path, right.91200:49:41.960 --> 00:49:44.199



And I think that's part of the love. So much91300:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.559



of us think that love is always going to be91400:49:46.639 --> 00:49:49.880



reciprocal and it's not necessarily so you have to be91500:49:49.920 --> 00:49:51.920



able to be willing to put that love out there91600:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.400



and expect nothing in return, and that's when actually you'll91700:49:54.400 --> 00:49:56.840



start to see things come back in the timefully.91800:49:56.920 --> 00:49:59.920



Me on the flip side of that is when you91900:50:00.159 --> 00:50:04.519



put out love, they don't have anything to hit back against,92000:50:04.719 --> 00:50:08.000



and there it takes all the fight out of them, right.92100:50:10.119 --> 00:50:13.559



They want resistance and if you're just like, okay, where92200:50:13.599 --> 00:50:18.000



does that energy go and they're they're left defenseless, it's wonderful.92300:50:18.079 --> 00:50:18.719



Yeah, try it.92400:50:19.159 --> 00:50:25.719



So any tips for someone who is trying to do that,92500:50:25.760 --> 00:50:28.800



But yet gets caught up in his or their.92600:50:30.119 --> 00:50:33.960



Yeah, spend your time in stillness visualizing those encounters, just92700:50:34.000 --> 00:50:38.440



like a sports star would do. Here comes here comes92800:50:38.480 --> 00:50:40.880



somebody in my face and they're going to trigger me92900:50:40.960 --> 00:50:43.840



like I always do. And now ask Spirit, Oh this93000:50:44.079 --> 00:50:45.760



I got my lip trich. I love that every time93100:50:45.800 --> 00:50:50.920



I spirit Just ask Spirit, help me experience now the93200:50:51.000 --> 00:50:54.760



reaction that will best serve me in those kinds of situations.93300:50:54.800 --> 00:50:57.440



And you can actually have a journey through that and93400:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.639



that changes your feel and become a part of you.93500:51:00.960 --> 00:51:03.360



And the more you focus on that, it will just93600:51:03.440 --> 00:51:05.920



become your reality and you won't be triggered anymore.93700:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.719



And I know this is a personal question, like I93800:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.400



mean in terms of like it's different for every person.93900:51:13.599 --> 00:51:16.320



How long did it take you to get to the94000:51:16.320 --> 00:51:18.400



point where you are just so serene about all this94100:51:18.559 --> 00:51:24.239



that you totally know this is reality and aren't triggered94200:51:24.440 --> 00:51:25.800



in the way that we date.94300:51:28.360 --> 00:51:32.400



It's an ongoing process. We are all both human. And94400:51:33.079 --> 00:51:35.159



this is the thing that's really helped me is you know,94500:51:35.239 --> 00:51:38.079



I can speak in spiritual terms, but also neuroscience is94600:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.639



fascinating to me, and I have several neuroscience colleagues and94700:51:42.679 --> 00:51:46.760



friends and have studied the brain, and we are hardwired94800:51:47.440 --> 00:51:51.960



to put up a defense to protect ourselves and our beliefs.94900:51:52.239 --> 00:51:57.000



So once you start saying that's the program running, you95000:51:57.119 --> 00:52:01.719



may still react, but you catch yourself and shift, and95100:52:01.800 --> 00:52:06.119



so that's a beautiful thing. But this process of growing95200:52:06.119 --> 00:52:09.719



and learning and shining never ends. But I'm certainly way95300:52:09.760 --> 00:52:11.920



far beyond what I was. Even several years ago, I95400:52:11.960 --> 00:52:17.000



would just run from uncomfortable conversations. Now I still get95500:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.239



a little uncomfortable, but I can just sit back and say, oh,95600:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.679



I don't want to run anymore. Be okay with this?95700:52:24.079 --> 00:52:26.119



Let me send love to this situation. Is there any95800:52:26.199 --> 00:52:28.440



action I could take to bring more peace right now?95900:52:28.440 --> 00:52:32.079



So it's not just passive and it's not spiritual bypassing96000:52:32.079 --> 00:52:34.719



like I'm not going to feel pain. Ooh, I dropped96100:52:34.719 --> 00:52:37.800



an F bomb last night, but it was over something96200:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.320



that almost fell over and broke in the house. That96300:52:40.360 --> 00:52:42.760



would have been a tragedy. And I was with three96400:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.400



friends who know me as a spiritual leader, and I said,96500:52:45.880 --> 00:52:51.679



there's a spiritual term for you. Because our bodies programmed96600:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.239



to I tried hit in the therapy to stop those96700:52:54.320 --> 00:52:57.599



F bombs from coming out, just part of the wiring.96800:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.760



So yeah, it's going process.96900:53:03.440 --> 00:53:04.920



It's spiritual F bombs.97000:53:07.119 --> 00:53:10.199



Heard me talk about my propensity for that at Sailor97100:53:10.239 --> 00:53:13.920



words we call them, and she crocheted a little black97200:53:13.960 --> 00:53:16.360



grenade with a heart coming out of the top of97300:53:16.400 --> 00:53:19.239



it and a little sign that says drop love bombs,97400:53:19.280 --> 00:53:23.280



not f bombs that I have it.97500:53:24.360 --> 00:53:28.480



That's when you when we move forward in this space.97600:53:29.920 --> 00:53:34.360



Has there ever been a time where you were worried97700:53:34.719 --> 00:53:39.360



that humanity wasn't going to get there? We need to97800:53:39.400 --> 00:53:41.400



take a quick pause, but we'll be right back right97900:53:41.400 --> 00:53:47.039



after these messages and now back to the show. Has98000:53:47.079 --> 00:53:50.679



there ever been a time where you were worried that98100:53:51.039 --> 00:53:52.480



humanity wasn't going to get there?98200:53:55.800 --> 00:54:00.360



I know that when we get there, it's game over.98300:54:00.599 --> 00:54:04.159



So I mean, why be here if we're not here98400:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.960



to interact, relate and learn to love. Once we all98500:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.760



learn to love, we will be experiencing heaven on earth,98600:54:10.960 --> 00:54:14.119



which is the goal. So I've known that all along98700:54:15.480 --> 00:54:17.840



that have gone through peers of being frustrated and until98800:54:17.840 --> 00:54:23.239



I say, wait, this is all unfolding right now, so98900:54:23.440 --> 00:54:25.400



just enjoy the now and do what we can now.99000:54:27.000 --> 00:54:32.760



Have you ever gotten any specific message that really impacted99100:54:32.800 --> 00:54:35.920



you in a certain way, not about like doing a99200:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.719



reading for someone else, but just did something ever come through.99300:54:38.800 --> 00:54:40.480



I don't know why this just popped into my head.99400:54:40.719 --> 00:54:44.239



Maybe it came through just some message I just impacted99500:54:44.239 --> 00:54:45.719



you that you felt like you really needed to make99600:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.079



sure it gets out there. It goes back.99700:54:49.079 --> 00:54:50.960



I've already shared it, but it was in a different way,99800:54:50.960 --> 00:54:53.280



and it was so early in this journey, and it99900:54:53.360 --> 00:54:56.000



was when my beloved husband will celebrate thirty years this100000:54:56.079 --> 00:55:01.360



year of marriage. We've we're not seeing eye to eye100100:55:01.360 --> 00:55:04.280



about something and I could tell we were never going100200:55:04.320 --> 00:55:08.199



to on that topic, and we were just like this,100300:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.960



and I finally had to just walk away. We didn't100400:55:10.960 --> 00:55:13.400



come to any consensus. And I had learned by that100500:55:13.440 --> 00:55:17.679



point to say to spirit what I do, and I heard,100600:55:17.800 --> 00:55:23.079



clear as day, just love him. And it goes back100700:55:23.119 --> 00:55:25.480



to everything that was just saying about what we thought100800:55:25.519 --> 00:55:30.159



were evil spirits and the skeptics. It's the same answer.100900:55:30.440 --> 00:55:32.159



So I turned around and I went back and I101000:55:32.199 --> 00:55:34.599



looked at him with a totally open heart instead of101100:55:34.639 --> 00:55:37.840



the energy of resistance that I was feeling earlier. And101200:55:37.880 --> 00:55:41.239



I said, honey, we may never see eye to eye101300:55:41.280 --> 00:55:47.000



on this, but I love you so much, and like101400:55:47.239 --> 00:55:52.639



the thought forums that were attacking me, it just dissolved101500:55:52.679 --> 00:55:57.199



the whole issue, gone in the face of love. If101600:55:57.199 --> 00:55:59.800



we could just remember that. And so we have in101700:55:59.840 --> 00:56:03.000



our in the United States here Democrats and Republicans who101800:56:03.079 --> 00:56:06.840



are just at each other's throats and you don't feel101900:56:06.840 --> 00:56:09.760



like loving them. So we have to find the place102000:56:09.840 --> 00:56:12.920



in you that is the same in me and realize102100:56:13.079 --> 00:56:15.920



we came here to play different roles, to push each102200:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.760



other's buttons, to find our way back to loving each102300:56:20.800 --> 00:56:22.239



other anyway.102400:56:23.599 --> 00:56:27.000



That's what I like, loving each other anyway. That's perfect.102500:56:27.239 --> 00:56:27.760



That's perfect.102600:56:29.159 --> 00:56:34.039



We were just invited to a party and friends said, hey,102700:56:35.239 --> 00:56:40.000



we're going to have people with different strong opinions at102800:56:40.000 --> 00:56:44.000



the dinner table. We need to keep it light, okay.102900:56:44.320 --> 00:56:46.559



And then the reason we're all going to be around103000:56:46.599 --> 00:56:48.400



the table is because every one of us will have103100:56:48.519 --> 00:56:54.039



one thing in common. A child across the veil. Oh wow, see,103200:56:54.440 --> 00:56:56.639



you see there are certain things that are more important103300:56:56.679 --> 00:57:00.199



than you're believed about this and this and this, and103400:57:01.400 --> 00:57:06.559



those kinds of relationships are the deepest ever. Yeah, because103500:57:06.599 --> 00:57:10.440



we get it, We understand what really matters and it's103600:57:10.599 --> 00:57:11.519



loving each other.103700:57:13.599 --> 00:57:18.199



I feel a fiend to this episode.103800:57:19.000 --> 00:57:21.000



Well, so you mean the headline is not going to103900:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.519



have me going like this same chaos is cord it is?104000:57:24.000 --> 00:57:26.000



I'm sorry. We are not those guys.104100:57:27.480 --> 00:57:28.920



No, but I love that because you just don't know104200:57:28.920 --> 00:57:32.480



anybody's story. Yes, you know, it's like that the thing104300:57:32.519 --> 00:57:34.480



from the book of the Dalai Lama of the Art104400:57:34.480 --> 00:57:36.599



of Happiness. You don't know what someone's going through, so104500:57:36.639 --> 00:57:39.400



don't judge them when they cut you off in traffic. No,104600:57:39.159 --> 00:57:40.719



I love them anyway. I want to get that on104700:57:40.760 --> 00:57:43.400



a T shirt. Love them anyway. That was perfect. Thank104800:57:43.440 --> 00:57:43.760



you for that.104900:57:44.639 --> 00:57:46.079



Did I mention she's a spiritual leader?105000:57:46.159 --> 00:57:46.360



I know?105100:57:46.679 --> 00:57:46.920



Writer?105200:57:50.119 --> 00:57:53.280



Oh gosh, I wish we had another fifteen hours to105300:57:53.280 --> 00:57:55.239



talk to you. There's so much to touch based on,105400:57:55.280 --> 00:58:00.400



but really quickly, as a spiritual leader, what do you think?105500:58:02.599 --> 00:58:05.320



I mean? We talked about the fact that we're here105600:58:05.320 --> 00:58:07.440



to experience everything, the goods and the bads, and lows105700:58:07.440 --> 00:58:09.079



and highs and all that kinds of stuff, right, that's105800:58:09.119 --> 00:58:12.599



all part of it is to push each other's buttons105900:58:12.679 --> 00:58:16.480



in order to experience different levels of awareness and consciousness,106000:58:16.239 --> 00:58:21.559



to expand as a people, as a oneness. So then106100:58:21.639 --> 00:58:26.079



what actually happens to us when we cross the veil?106200:58:26.480 --> 00:58:28.960



In your estimation, I have so many videos about this,106300:58:29.079 --> 00:58:31.400



so for running short on time to do that search.106400:58:31.480 --> 00:58:34.719



In fact, oh, let me tell you about an awesome106500:58:35.400 --> 00:58:38.519



tool we have now. Yeah, you can go to Suzanne106600:58:38.519 --> 00:58:42.519



geeseva dot com slash your questions answered and asked that106700:58:42.599 --> 00:58:45.480



question and everybody's going to get a different answer. But106800:58:45.519 --> 00:58:45.960



it's not.106900:58:46.119 --> 00:58:46.440



It is.107000:58:46.599 --> 00:58:50.599



It's my virtual librarian, but she's not going outside to107100:58:50.599 --> 00:58:55.519



search the internet. It's fifteen to eighteen years of my107200:58:55.639 --> 00:58:58.800



guide's channeled information, all of them, the transcripts of every107300:58:58.800 --> 00:59:01.199



one of my books and my videos and my classes.107400:59:01.519 --> 00:59:04.199



She dips into that and gives you a very personal,107500:59:04.199 --> 00:59:05.199



heartfelt answer.107600:59:05.320 --> 00:59:06.239



I love.107700:59:07.719 --> 00:59:10.719



Grace, my virtual eye brand. And then there's a video107800:59:10.800 --> 00:59:13.719



search capability on my site. You can enter in what107900:59:13.800 --> 00:59:15.599



happens in the Afterlife and it'll take you to every108000:59:15.679 --> 00:59:18.079



video where I've ever brought that up. But to answer108100:59:18.119 --> 00:59:24.239



your question, it is different for every person, but immediately108200:59:24.360 --> 00:59:27.239



each soul is aware. I've been a soul along. Oh108300:59:27.280 --> 00:59:30.679



my gosh, how could I have forgotten? I feel this love.108400:59:31.079 --> 00:59:33.440



I can't wait to let my family know I'm still here.108500:59:33.920 --> 00:59:36.800



You're meeting up with family who passed before you immediately.108600:59:37.360 --> 00:59:39.519



It truly is joyous.108700:59:40.000 --> 00:59:46.519



Yeah, yeah, I always liken it to the movie Geez108800:59:46.599 --> 00:59:50.360



Now I'm drawn Blake, What Dreams May Come? Thank you? Yes,108900:59:51.400 --> 00:59:53.440



one of my favorite movies when in the topic, because109000:59:53.440 --> 00:59:57.840



it shows a vast difference. My thought process is we109100:59:57.920 --> 01:00:02.119



create our own afterlife. Whatever we feel is truth for109201:00:02.280 --> 01:00:04.559



us is what we will create once to be crossed. Now,109301:00:04.559 --> 01:00:05.800



I don't know if that's true or not, but at109401:00:05.840 --> 01:00:06.119



least is.109501:00:06.119 --> 01:00:08.119



My thought, it's very close to the truth as far109601:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.239



as I've gotten from those who talk to me. Now,109701:00:10.239 --> 01:00:13.360



we can't validate that. That's not evidence, but when you109801:00:13.400 --> 01:00:16.960



surround what they tell me with the evidence, then it109901:00:17.519 --> 01:00:21.960



upholds the things they're telling us. My mother believed in nothing,110001:00:22.239 --> 01:00:24.679



so when she crossed, I didn't hear from her right away.110101:00:24.760 --> 01:00:27.480



I actually got to go across the veil and saw110201:00:27.519 --> 01:00:31.320



her in a kind of continued unconscious state, just like110301:00:31.599 --> 01:00:35.280



before she passed, and she slowly came out of it,110401:00:35.360 --> 01:00:37.039



and I was like, well, I'm just not ready to110501:00:37.039 --> 01:00:37.719



wake up yet.110601:00:40.159 --> 01:00:44.880



Well you have is from someone who has always been110701:00:44.920 --> 01:00:49.360



looking for all these cool tools and toys. You have110801:00:49.559 --> 01:00:53.280



so many cool tools and toys on your site and110901:00:53.320 --> 01:00:58.760



on your all your programs. I recommend anyone who is111001:00:58.960 --> 01:01:02.719



just getting to know Suzan Geeseman to go to Suzan111101:01:02.800 --> 01:01:05.719



Geeseman dot com to get to know her and just111201:01:05.880 --> 01:01:10.840



do a YouTube search. You're gonna find scads of videos111301:01:11.000 --> 01:01:18.400



that she's done. And you have helped me grow tremendously111401:01:18.400 --> 01:01:20.119



over the last I don't know how many years. So111501:01:20.199 --> 01:01:23.679



thank you for that. Personally, selfishly thank you, and I111601:01:23.760 --> 01:01:30.079



thank you for that, and and on the physical side111701:01:30.119 --> 01:01:32.039



of the things, I do thank you for your service111801:01:32.079 --> 01:01:36.599



because I totally know how difficult that must have been111901:01:37.360 --> 01:01:41.119



and for you transitioning over to this spiritual world. Now,112001:01:41.679 --> 01:01:47.960



we really appreciate you absolutely. It's an absolute pleasure getting112101:01:47.960 --> 01:01:49.639



to know you. Thank you so much for coming on112201:01:49.639 --> 01:01:51.920



the show. Hopefully this won't be the last time we connect,112301:01:51.960 --> 01:01:55.559



because I just love you so much, and we have a.112401:01:55.480 --> 01:01:58.360



Lot of opportunities in person. They're right there at the112501:01:58.400 --> 01:02:01.159



top of my homepage, so maybe we will see each112601:02:01.159 --> 01:02:01.679



other in FIRS.112701:02:01.920 --> 01:02:04.159



Sounds good planet. I'm going to go to your site112801:02:04.239 --> 01:02:07.239



right now. A matter of fact, thank you so much.112901:02:07.320 --> 01:02:07.800



Thank you.113001:02:09.199 --> 01:02:11.559



Well, that does it for this episode of the Skeptic Metemusicians.113101:02:11.800 --> 01:02:14.559



Thank you for taking the time to listen to this show.113201:02:14.960 --> 01:02:17.000



We know that you have many choices and it is113301:02:17.039 --> 01:02:19.960



not lost on us that you are here. And if113401:02:19.960 --> 01:02:23.000

one of the easiest ways to help us reach others.113601:02:26.840 --> 01:02:28.679



And before you go, I don't know if you've noticed,113701:02:28.679 --> 01:02:32.119



but high vibe creators like us who share these topics113801:02:32.159 --> 01:02:35.239



without the need to resort to clickbait or fear based113901:02:35.239 --> 01:02:38.719



tactics are truly getting drowned out by those and focus114001:02:38.880 --> 01:02:42.679



on getting the click. That fear based algorithm is out114101:02:42.679 --> 01:02:44.920



of control and making it a lot more difficult to114201:02:44.920 --> 01:02:47.719



get these messages that raise the consciousness of the planet114301:02:48.000 --> 01:02:51.800



out into the world. It's becoming harder and harder to114401:02:51.800 --> 01:02:54.920



be discovered in the sea of voices interested in our space.114501:02:55.440 --> 01:02:58.159
