Joanne shares her extensive experience since 1987 with the ARE, her master's in transpersonal studies, and her spiritual mentor certification from Atlantic University.

She explains the difference between soul writing and automatic writing, how past life regressions can provide answers to unresolved issues, and the idea of reincarnation as the soul's journey on Earth.

Joanne also talks about her book 'The Inner Light,' which explores the spiritual influences of The Beatles and her personal journey from a fan club president to a passionate past life researcher.

1
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.400
My name is Will and I'm Garen, and unlike moulderin Scully,

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:05.440
we both want to believe.

3
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:07.440
So we've embarked in a journey of discovery.

4
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:10.080
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and

5
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:10.919
metaphysical world.

6
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.880
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences.

7
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.759
I even joined a coven of witches.

8
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.320
And wait, you joined a coven yep.

9
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.039
All on the interest of finding something, anything, that will

10
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.480
prove that there's something beyond this physical.

11
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:24.800
Three dimensional world we all live in.

12
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:32.560
This is the Skeptic Metaphysicians. This episode of The Skeptic

13
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.439
Metaphysicians was recorded.

14
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.640
Live at the Edgar Casey Are Welcome.

15
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.439
To new Awakenings with Edgar Casey's AAR. We're together through

16
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.280
some incredible conversations. We go on beautiful journeys of discovery

17
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.840
that might shape the way you think about things and

18
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.119
could even change your life.

19
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:48.399
Well.

20
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.679
Our expert today is a very well respected expert on

21
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:57.000
reincarnation as well as soul writing, which she describes.

22
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.320
As a form of written meditation.

23
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.960
I am really excited to tell you to that she's

24
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.640
been actively involved with Edgar Case's AAR since nineteen eighty

25
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.280
seven and has been the coordinator of the aarres in Charlottesville,

26
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.640
Virginia since August two thousand and eight. She's earned her

27
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.319
master's in trans personal Studies and her Spiritual Mentor certification

28
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.000
through Athlantic University. She's been professionally pursuing past live research

29
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.599
and therapy for over thirty years, so she is not

30
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.560
a newbiet to the conversation. She's a prolific author who

31
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.760
has written multiple books, and we are super excited to

32
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.280
have her on the show today. Welcome to the show,

33
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.159
Joanne Demaggio. How are you doing today?

34
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.200
I'm great. How are you guys doing?

35
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.200
Never better, never better?

36
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.079
We are so thrilled that you are here to join us,

37
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.400
and we have so many questions. Yes, and I was

38
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.840
looking at your website and your information. I see that

39
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.680
you call yourself a reporter for the universe.

40
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.680
What do you mean by that?

41
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.680
Well, for the longest time, I've been a writer in

42
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.719
my professional life, and even as a child, I was

43
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.159
doing a lot of writing. I like to do research,

44
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.759
I like to observe, and I love doing research projects

45
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.560
and then taking that information and putting it into a

46
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.840
book or an article or a lecture whatever, and then

47
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.159
sending that out to the universe. So I always saw

48
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.360
myself more as the observer and then the report or

49
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.599
the sharing. And I've got, you know, going back in

50
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.319
my old past life history. I've got a lot of

51
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.759
past lives in which I was ascribed and I was

52
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.639
doing basically the same work that I'm doing now, So

53
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.319
it's comes as a second nature of me to do that.

54
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.199
Wow, it's super interesting.

55
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.439
But since we're on the topic of writing, I've got

56
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.599
to ask the questions because the thing that really stood

57
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.800
out to me the most in your introduction is the

58
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.039
in meditation. I'm an avid meditator, but I don't feel

59
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.080
that I'm meditating what I'm writing. So how does soul

60
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.240
writing fit into that?

61
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.240
Well, the younger kid readings talk a lot about inspirational writing,

62
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.080
which is the exact same thing as soul writing. I

63
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.479
changed the name when I was working on my thesis

64
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.639
for my master's degree at AU because the idea of

65
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.520
inspirational writing that that term has been changed since Casey

66
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.599
used it. So now when you talk about inspirational writing,

67
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.639
it's about the Christian genre books, and that's not what

68
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.680
he really meant. He meant that you were getting divine

69
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.759
assistance coming from above, coming through you through pop your

70
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.639
soul out your hand and onto the paper. So basically

71
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.759
it's a written form of meditation. So you know, when

72
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:55.560
you're praying, it's you talking to God meditating God's talking

73
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.240
to you. Well, soul writing is you taking notes?

74
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.560
Okay? Is it the same as automatic writing?

75
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:02.639
Absolutely not?

76
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:03.159
Okay?

77
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.919
Oh yeah. And also there's a lot of in the

78
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.639
Casey readings, there's a lot of where Casey's warning against

79
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.759
using automatic writing, and in Hew and Casey's book Venture Inward,

80
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.519
he had a whole chapter with the case histories of

81
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.120
people who got into trouble using automatic writing because you're

82
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.399
not protecting yourself, you're opening yourself up and you've got

83
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.199
some lower level influences kind of coming through, and they're

84
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.439
really concerned about possession. So the area put out a

85
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.560
booklet I saw this in the early nineties about ways

86
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.720
to develop your psychic abilities, and they had some no nos,

87
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.600
and automatic writing in the Luigi board were like number

88
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.199
one and two too, So there is a difference between them.

89
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.639
So for people who don't know what exactly is automatic

90
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.639
writing and how is that different than channeling and writing.

91
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.480
Well, it basically it looks the same, which is why

92
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:08.600
people get confused. But the difference is that with automatic writing, uh,

93
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.240
sometimes you have no you have no control of your hand.

94
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.000
You usually skip the meditation, you skip the prayer of protection.

95
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.480
That's the most important part, surrounding yourself with that white

96
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.160
light to keep yourself protected. It sometimes comes to you

97
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.040
in the first person. I so there's an element of

98
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.399
like a command. You know, you're getting a command from

99
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.560
somewhere in the universe to do this or do that,

100
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.319
do this or not do that. So the tone is

101
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.519
completely different with with soul writing, you're just getting gently nudged.

102
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.720
And it's always in the we, the collective consciousness, we

103
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.079
are with you. Uh, you know, so there's a there

104
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.519
is a difference. I outline all of that in my

105
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.480
I've got several books on soul writing, and also if

106
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.480
anybody is interested in that, I can just contact me,

107
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.240
send me an email, and I'll send you a handout

108
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.480
about it, so that you could actually see all the

109
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:05.879
differences between the two.

110
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.079
That's excellent you'll hear from me, because I had no

111
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.480
idea there was a it was a different thing. And

112
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.279
what you need to do to me, not that I've

113
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.959
done AutoMac writing, but you know, I'm I'm curious.

114
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.319
It's really interesting too, like what she says between the

115
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.199
I and the wei, because we we've interviewed a lot

116
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.639
of different people people that channel and they're usually it's

117
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.439
usually a collective, you know, a collective of angels, a

118
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.240
collective of souls. But we've never had someone say, well,

119
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.519
I channeled this one person and that does that would

120
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.199
kind of make it creepy. I think, you know, if

121
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.800
you've got someone in there saying do this, do that,

122
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:35.240
I think I would question that.

123
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:36.959
Yeah.

124
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.800
I just finished teaching for AIRIA seven week course on

125
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.560
soul writing and the people that were in it. What

126
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.839
many people thought, I can't do this. This isn't something

127
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.399
that I have a challenge where anybody could do it.

128
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.199
Mister Casey said, it's our birth right to have that information.

129
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.360
So it's something anybody can do. You don't need a

130
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:58.800
special for it.

131
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:00.560
Okay, and let me clarify it.

132
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.480
I mean like one person telling you what to do,

133
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.600
not just like the inspiration from one.

134
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.480
I'm gonna say.

135
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.720
We've had people that actually channel one particular person, but

136
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.160
then on the next go round they channel somebody else.

137
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.199
It's not yeah, and it's but it's not like that

138
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.759
same person saying you have to do this or you

139
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.360
have to do that. It's more of like a guidance.

140
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.199
So I think if you had someone that's in there,

141
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.120
like hey, and you got to do this that way.

142
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:21.639
And like most a lot of people have talked to

143
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.000
us before about if it's coming, if it feel it's

144
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.680
coming from a place of love, you can trust that

145
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.279
word as if it's more it seems much more of

146
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.040
a place of yeah, you're feeling a little strange about it,

147
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.560
maybe there's something to look into.

148
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:33.959
Yeah.

149
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:34.959
Absolutely.

150
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:36.720
And I kind of want to get back into the

151
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.360
reporter question because it made me think about, you know,

152
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.040
communicating with souls and in your experience, in your research

153
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.680
and the work that you've done, have you interviewed anyone

154
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.560
that's past I mean, if I like channel some well, yeah,

155
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.240
kind of like a kind of like that like an

156
00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.199
interview sort of thing.

157
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.040
I don't know, I just I think that would be

158
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:01.519
kind of fun.

159
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.879
I haven't the one of the things I do teach

160
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.879
with the soul writing is that people I haven't connected

161
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.800
to the past life work that I do so can

162
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:17.560
actually have a conversation with your own past life aspect. Wow,

163
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.639
I do teach that how to do that so that

164
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.399
you have your regression. You know, who you were in

165
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.759
a prior lifetime. You might have all kinds of questions

166
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.439
though about that life that you didn't get answered in aggression.

167
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.399
Because regressions, you know, are usually hour and a half

168
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.120
to two hours. You can get it all in. Yeah,

169
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.200
but you can have a conversation with yourself through the

170
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.639
soul writing. I've done it. I've taught other people to

171
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.480
do it. Frank DeMarco, who is a very prolific writer,

172
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.039
has a whole book called Chasing Smallwood in which he's

173
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.879
done it with his his past life in the Civil War.

174
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.120
And it's fascinating to do that because you get answers

175
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.639
to questions at maybe you've had for years because you

176
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.080
don't understand why is this going on in my life?

177
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.240
And you can get those answers that way. It's just

178
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.120
one of many, many, many ways to use soul writing.

179
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.000
Or we're gonna be talking because I got lots of

180
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:21.039
questions so interesting, Well, so you've not touched on another topic.

181
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.799
I want to make sure that we bring up you

182
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:29.519
are an expert in reincarnation, and there is so many

183
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:37.480
thoughts surrounding that particular topic. So just a level set,

184
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.080
how do you define reincarnation.

185
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.679
It's just simply the continuation of the soul's journey on

186
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.600
the earth plane. So you know, you've had we all

187
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.720
came to the earth at the same time. We're all created.

188
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.360
As the Caseys creation story, you all came at the

189
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.679
same time. So this whole concept of old souls, I

190
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.840
don't buy into that. I think when people say so

191
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.440
and so is an old soul, it's because that soul

192
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.039
has chosen to come back in physical form a lot,

193
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.600
and so they gained an enormous amount of wisdom, right.

194
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.440
Right, So better to call them a wise souls a

195
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.519
tired soul.

196
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.480
Maybe they've been around the block a few times, right,

197
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.720
they they know, they know the ropes a little bit

198
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.159
more than maybe a soul that's chosen not to come

199
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.159
very often. So yeah, so that there's you know, I

200
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.399
think of the body as a vehicle for us. Like

201
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.000
you know, when you have a car, it takes you

202
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.440
just so far you can keep you could keep repairing

203
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.159
it and fixing it up and all that stuff, but

204
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.200
at some point it's going to break down on you

205
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.399
and then trade it in and get another car. So

206
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.200
that's the way I see our souls doing that. You know,

207
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.279
we're for whatever purpose we decide in their pre life planning.

208
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.039
You know, we talk with the council of elders or

209
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.840
guidance counselors, whatever you want to call them, and we think,

210
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.759
you know, I'm going to work on this issue when

211
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:07.159
I come into a body again, right, And then souls

212
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.120
around you that travel with you, members of your soul family,

213
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.919
decide they're going to come with you, and they may

214
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.039
look different, they've changed their gender and their role, but

215
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.879
they'll have a very specific purpose in coming in with

216
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.360
you to help you with whatever it is your soul's

217
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.639
mission is. And so that's what we do over and

218
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.960
over again, you know, working on all the issues that

219
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.320
we can only work on on here.

220
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.000
Right.

221
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.759
So basically it's the act of trading it in for

222
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.080
a new model. So what you're saying is that I

223
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.240
should actually answer that phone call. But those people trying

224
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.360
to reach me about my extended warranty that.

225
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.039
We're saying, so kind of going back to that, when

226
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.799
when you decide what your soul needs to work on.

227
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.960
People have different ideas about soul contracts. Do you say, okay,

228
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.240
well I want to come back as a soul that

229
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.679
learns about you know whatever, or do you say I

230
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.559
want to come back as a little girl who's six

231
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.039
years old to like, do you get super specific on

232
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.879
the make and model of the car or do you

233
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.000
just say I want an SUV versus a sports car?

234
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.799
Well, you know, you do choose your parents. That's your choice.

235
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.000
I'd love to tell my children that because then I say,

236
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.919
you know you picked me.

237
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:16.639
Now you're stuck with me, kid?

238
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:23.519
What you do? You look at what issues from a

239
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.519
prior lifetime that you didn't finish. So you've got someone

240
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.159
finished business, something happened to you in that life where

241
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.159
you did something to somebody in that life and you

242
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.519
never resolved it, so it's hanging out there, right, So

243
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:41.039
then you decide, I have clients who they're working, and

244
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.519
stuff that happened a thousand years ago right at lives

245
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:49.120
in between that. But it's never been quite the right life.

246
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.879
So you look at what what's going to be the

247
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:57.000
socioeconomic environment that I'm going to be born into, and

248
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.039
then who are my parents going to be? Why am

249
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.279
i choosing those people. What are they going to offer me?

250
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.120
What lessons are they going to teach? So it's really

251
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:10.000
all about fulfilling, uh, you know, resolving that those karma

252
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.559
issues that you've brought in with you. So that's how

253
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.840
a life is designed. It's designed around there. You have

254
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.840
yourmission statement, you know what you want to work. Some

255
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.159
people will say, no, I want to work on abandonment

256
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.600
because they may have abandoned somebody in a prior life

257
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.000
and now they're gonna you know, you've got to balance

258
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.039
things out right in the universe where it's all those

259
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.000
harmony going on. So people around them will go, Okay,

260
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.039
I'm going to come in with you when you become George.

261
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.759
At some point I'm going to abandon you so that

262
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.919
he works through that karma and put that behind you

263
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.879
so you can move on.

264
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.519
So in the past life, I was definitely a much

265
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.159
skinnier man than this means because now I'm balancing it

266
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.279
out by I.

267
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.000
Need order now for your next body.

268
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:57.279
There you go, you know what I'm going to do that. No,

269
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.679
that's not okay, I got it.

270
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.919
Here's the burning question in my mind. Most people that

271
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.399
have watched the show know that I'm a little more

272
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.200
on the pragmatic mindset, and so I have been. I've

273
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.840
undergone a past life progression a few times to get

274
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.559
in touch with my past lives or to get some

275
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.320
idea of what I've gone through in the.

276
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.639
Past, to see how that's affecting me in this lifetime.

277
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:29.759
Inevitably, I think I'm being regressed, But at the same time,

278
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:34.519
my really just making up stories, like how can someone

279
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.919
delineate between your own imagination and true past life memories?

280
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.519
You know, everybody says that going into it, I'm afraid

281
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.519
I'm going to be making this up. And what I

282
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.919
say to that, And it's not until they actually go

283
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.759
through it that they realized they couldn't have possibly made

284
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.360
that story up. And then I'll say to them, so,

285
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.000
did you spend time before our session thinking about it

286
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.480
story you were going to tell me? And then you know,

287
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.720
we spend a couple hours together and you actually paid

288
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.919
me to listen to your story. Would you have done that? No? No, no,

289
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.879
no no. If there's a motion that comes up during

290
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.960
the course of the session that is a true memory,

291
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.759
because I cannot make you cry, laugh, I don't tell

292
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.759
jokes during a regression you'll feel it. You'll feel it,

293
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.840
and if it answers all the questions that you have

294
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:32.039
about what's going on in your life now, questions that

295
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.799
you didn't have, you had no answers for prior to

296
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:41.039
this session. It's a healing, it's a transformation tool that

297
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.440
have been given to help us understand the continuum of

298
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:49.639
our soul's journey. So, yeah, it's a common concern about

299
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.080
whether I'm making this up or not. And I you know,

300
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.840
I have not had anybody tell me at the end

301
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.120
of a session, yeah, I'm sure I made that up.

302
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:00.519
They're sure was real.

303
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:05.039
Okay, So I have I had a long time ago.

304
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.159
I did a past life progression a long time ago,

305
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:08.639
and I don't know. I mean, it was in a

306
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.159
big group and I wasn't really kind of a past

307
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.039
life maybe, but but I haven't done one since because

308
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.120
I thought, okay, so what if I do this and

309
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:19.919
I sit and have a just a very serious session

310
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.080
with someone and I find out I was awful, like

311
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.480
a child killer or something.

312
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.240
I don't know. I don't know that I could.

313
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.919
Get past that in this life. Like, what do you

314
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.879
do if you find out something that you were really terrible?

315
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.759
I mean, I just, well, you know.

316
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.720
What, I don't know if this is comforting at all,

317
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.240
But we've all done things that were ashamed of or

318
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.799
that we don't want to admit, or that are at

319
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.000
their cringe worthy lifetimes right the same token, you've also

320
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.759
had beautiful lifetimes in which you lived an exemplary life

321
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.960
with nothing but love in it and no trauma. It's

322
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.759
just part of our journey. This and spirit will not

323
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:01.960
send you a lifetime to review that you couldn't handle,

324
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.640
and it also will only send you the lifetimes in

325
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.279
which there are issues that you're working on right now.

326
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.480
So it's not a pleasure because it's not like you know,

327
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.559
some people say I only want to do it for

328
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.079
entertainment purposes. I won't work with them, as to me,

329
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.759
it's sacred work. It's healing, and so you know, you

330
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.880
have to be willing to see the good, the bad,

331
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:31.000
and the ugly. Right and really, you know, when when

332
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.359
we're going through it, I have you stepping back from

333
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.119
it and watching it as if it were a movie

334
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.759
so that you can de catch yourself from it. I

335
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.359
know some therapists have you going through the emotions. I mean,

336
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.000
if the emotions come up we'll work with that, but

337
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:49.079
I don't ask you to there and feel what it

338
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.960
felt like to get that spear in your goal, you know. So,

339
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.119
So anyway, it just as like I said, I think

340
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.519
spirit only sends you what you can absolutely.

341
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.759
And sometimes these things happen spontaneously, right, it doesn't necessarily

342
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.559
have to be guided by with someone like you. I

343
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.240
experienced something similar. My very first one was spontaneous.

344
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.359
I was being in a raiki circle.

345
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.440
I was receiving a lot of energy from someone that

346
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.359
just set me out there. But the story or the

347
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.880
life that I lived at that during that spontaneous regression

348
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.720
was not a fun one. And since said it was

349
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:31.519
many years ago, since and I've been trying to put

350
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.240
the pieces together as to why I was shown that

351
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:35.880
particular piece.

352
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.240
So can you give us an.

353
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.960
Example of how someone can take a past life memory

354
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.359
and use it to help you in this lifetime?

355
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.559
Well, like I said before, usually is because it'll answer

356
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.319
a specific question that they have. I have one client

357
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.880
who she doesn't her she interacts. I'm doing a whole

358
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.839
project right now on soulmates. So I'm doing a lot

359
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:05.440
of research into people with soulmate relationships. And you know what,

360
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.160
one in particular, was like, you know, I don't understand.

361
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.759
He's totally disrespectful to me in this life. There's so

362
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.000
much anger in him. And she just listed all the

363
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.119
things that were going on. Well, then she goes back

364
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.400
to the previous lifetime and she finds out where it

365
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:25.119
all began. This is what happened, well one hundred years.

366
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.960
That's set the stage for this recurring karmic dance to

367
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.119
go on between the two of them. So I think

368
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.480
that that's and I have had so many people this

369
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.079
is so humbling for me when this happens, when they

370
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:46.119
contact me and say, you know, I feel like heaviness

371
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.960
has been lifted from me because now I understand because

372
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:54.000
consciously on these answers would never come to you. It's

373
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.160
only when you're able to really get in there and

374
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.759
find out what's tarted this, what's the root cause of it,

375
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.319
which is my Past life work is so fascinating to

376
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.759
me because you usually only need one session to get

377
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.279
to the bottom of something and to heal it, as

378
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:13.079
opposed to the regular psychotherapy in which you're going back

379
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.759
week after week after week. That's because with the past

380
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.359
life work, it going right to the root cause of it,

381
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.000
what happened to get this started, what's set this parallel

382
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.200
in motion? And I think that that, to me is

383
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.519
just the most fascinating part of my job is to

384
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.160
it's to be like a detective. Right You're going looking

385
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.319
at clues to find out the answers, and then once

386
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.240
you get the answers, the cases all.

387
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:46.160
I like that you're a detective and a reporter. So

388
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.400
I have a question.

389
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.480
So I understand what you're saying about the past lives,

390
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.839
and I do believe it's an incredible tool to help

391
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.000
you heal things that you didn't know how to heal otherwise.

392
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.319
But I've heard also that from people that have had

393
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.039
near death experiences. When you die, you go into the

394
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.480
state of bliss and everything is perfect and there's all

395
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.039
the love, and it's hard. You don't you know, sometimes

396
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.440
you don't want to come back, but you need to

397
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:09.960
come back because you.

398
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.079
Have cure, kids or whatever.

399
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.519
So if that's true, if you're in this state of

400
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.599
bliss and perfection, I feel like here now in today's

401
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:21.880
like we're working with people and we're talking with memes

402
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:23.559
and psychics and trying to figure out how to make

403
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.559
ourselves better. So we can get to that point. So

404
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.240
then if we're there when we die, why would we

405
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.000
come back.

406
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.559
You come back because you still have things to learn

407
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.519
that you can only learn in a physical body, that

408
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.599
you can't learn while you're in spirit. So it's all

409
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:45.000
about you know, mister Casey said, you know, whatever starts

410
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.440
on the earth has to end on the earth. So

411
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.400
you come in with a curriculum. That's how I look

412
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:55.119
at it. There's a school and you're a student, and

413
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:01.519
you know, you say, I want to work on I'm

414
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.960
going to take these classes. I'm going to take a

415
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:09.240
class on on greediness, or I'm going to take a

416
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.279
class on unconditional love, or I'm going to take a

417
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:16.119
class on a traumas. I mean, I don't know, there's

418
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.720
just so many. Think of them, and then you set

419
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.640
it up so that you can come and learn that

420
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.119
because you can't learn that while you're in spirit. This

421
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:28.960
is all about actually it's it's it's cyclical, right because

422
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:32.799
you are trying to get back to spirit where you were.

423
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.839
You could opt. There are many souls who opt not

424
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.359
to come back, They ought to go to a different planet.

425
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.480
So but it's a it's a school where so once

426
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.599
you graduate, you're on your own.

427
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:51.319
That's a party, that graduation.

428
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.319
So we see a book over your right shoulder called

429
00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:59.519
the Inner Light of My.

430
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:07.079
Latest tell us about that well, And as this is

431
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.599
going to reveal age as a teenager, I was president

432
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.200
of Beatles Fan Club. I started it in nineteen sixty four.

433
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.720
I had it for eight years and I was really

434
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.799
immersed in it, and a lot of things happened in

435
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:28.240
those eight years. It was the sixties, don't forget, and

436
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.880
having been raised Catholic, I simultaneously was having a lot

437
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.240
of questions about my faith and having gone to twelve

438
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:46.039
years at Catholic schooling. And I mean so when the

439
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:49.039
club ended in nineteen seventy two, and I've got chapters

440
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.319
that talked about what it was like to be at

441
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.960
president of Beatles Fan Club, I ended up president of

442
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.839
the Paul McCartney Fan Club, and I ended up being

443
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:02.160
the national chapter director for Apple Records. So involved as

444
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.920
a teenager doing this. I had meetings in traveled to

445
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:09.599
New York to the Bangladesh concert that George Harrison gave.

446
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.640
And then when it all ended in nineteen seventy two,

447
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.000
because they shut down all the clubs because there were Beatles.

448
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.880
Then I kind of went to sleep for a while,

449
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:27.599
and then in nineteen eighty seven, Shirley McLain came along

450
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:32.759
with her on a Limb. It became a mini series

451
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:38.079
and I watched that and it rekindled my interest in

452
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:42.279
metaphysical topics because I had been reading books about Edgar

453
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.839
Casey and written by Jesstern and Ruth Montgomery and all

454
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:50.519
those people in the early sixties. I forgot about it

455
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.079
when the Beatles came out and so lo and behold,

456
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.680
here comes out on a limb, and I just nineteen

457
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.279
eighty seven was my year. I joined the AAR. That

458
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:02.240
year I started my own p life research organization, and

459
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:08.759
I just emerged myself in that world again. Over the years,

460
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:13.359
I've always wondered, how did somebody like me, you know,

461
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.759
coming from an Italian American Catholic family on the South

462
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.480
side of Chicago, in a neighborhood that never used the

463
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:28.759
word reincarnation that was something. How did I become a

464
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:33.119
pantslife there? Why did I become so passionate about past

465
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.279
life work? And I wondered, did it I have something

466
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.599
to do with the Beatles? Did they plank the seed

467
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.480
of spirituality? In my soul, and so that's what I

468
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:44.880
wanted to find out. So I went back in. I

469
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.640
dug out all my old newsletters because I had kept them.

470
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.359
I had done a newsletter every month for eight years. Wow.

471
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:54.079
I went back and I was looking for clues. Did

472
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.480
I Did I ever say anything? Did this ever come up?

473
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:01.079
And then I started reading I'm about to fifty sixty

474
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.640
books on the Beatles, and I started researching to find

475
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.319
out what they said on different spiritual talkics. And of course,

476
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:11.880
you know George Harrison just as a treasure trove of

477
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:16.079
he and John Lennon primarily. So I started reading and

478
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.960
putting the pieces together and realized that they planted those

479
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.000
seeds in me. And if they planted the seeds and me,

480
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.359
they must have planted them and others of my generation.

481
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.440
So that's what that research was all about. And by

482
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.240
the way, while I was doing the research for this book,

483
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:35.839
I found out that both both Paul McCartney and John

484
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.440
Lennon used to form the soul writing. They didn't call

485
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:40.559
it that. I'm sure they didn't even know what that

486
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:47.799
was in writing some of their music. Wow, Yesterday across

487
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:53.319
the universe nowhere man, let it be those all came

488
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:58.720
to them using the same exact process that Casey describes

489
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:02.599
when we do soul.

490
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.279
Very that's that's fast. Cool.

491
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.559
So they tied it together even more. And then you know,

492
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.799
I started to do research. I started to interview other

493
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.599
Beatle fans my age and found out that there were

494
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.640
several of them who were introduced to Edgar Casey into

495
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.480
the A I E. Because of the Beatles. So wow,

496
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:24.400
wrapped it all up for me.
