Atheist Saw 100+ Mediums Searching for Evidence of an Afterlife | Liz Entin of WTF Just Happened?!

In this episode of Signs of Life Radio, host Bob Ginsberg interviews author and podcaster Liz Entin, creator of WTF Just Happened?. Raised as a logical atheist who believed consciousness was strictly a function of the brain, Liz embarked on a search for empirical evidence of an afterlife following the death of her father. She shares her journey from complete skepticism to exploring scientific research, visiting mediums, and discovering evidence that shifted her worldview.

Liz and Bob discuss the complexities of grief, the limitations of traditional models like the five stages of grief, and why individual personal experiences combined with rigorous scientific data provide the most compelling evidence for survival of consciousness. Liz also reflects on how her perspective on death shifted from existential terror to peace, while offering insights into future avenues of afterlife research.

Key takeaways

• Liz Entin transitioned from a strict atheist perspective to investigating afterlife research following the loss of her father.
• Scientific evidence across multiple disciplines creates a stronger case for survival of consciousness than any single study alone.
• Traditional models like the five stages of grief often fail to reflect the non-linear, individual nature of real-world grieving.
• Experiencing evidential medium readings and verifiable signs helped reduce existential anxiety regarding death.
• Future afterlife research may explore neuroscience, brain mapping, and non-local models of consciousness.

When<00:03:25.640> I<00:03:25.720> was<00:03:25.920> very<00:03:26.239> little,<00:03:26.800> you<00:03:26.920> know,<00:03:27.320> my<00:03:27.519> parents,<00:03:28.160> especially<00:03:28.519> my<00:03:28.640> dad,<00:03:28.920> had<00:03:29.080> me<00:03:29.200> later<00:03:29.519> in<00:03:29.640> life.

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.760
So,<00:03:30.720> you<00:03:30.800> know,<00:03:30.920> I'd<00:03:31.040> lost<00:03:31.320> grandparents,<00:03:31.920> and<00:03:32.040> they<00:03:32.120> were<00:03:32.200> just<00:03:32.360> like,<00:03:32.640> "Oh,<00:03:32.880> when<00:03:33.000> I<00:03:33.080> was<00:03:33.200> very<00:03:33.360> little,<00:03:33.600> they<00:03:33.800> go<00:03:34.000> to<00:03:34.200> heaven."

00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:36.800
And<00:03:34.880> they<00:03:34.959> gave<00:03:35.160> a<00:03:35.239> very<00:03:35.519> childlike<00:03:36.080> version<00:03:36.400> of<00:03:36.519> heaven.

00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:44.200
I<00:03:36.840> was<00:03:36.959> like<00:03:37.160> five.<00:03:38.080> Became<00:03:38.440> pretty<00:03:38.720> clear<00:03:38.920> when<00:03:39.040> I<00:03:39.080> got<00:03:39.239> a<00:03:39.280> little<00:03:39.440> older<00:03:39.680> that<00:03:39.840> that<00:03:39.959> was<00:03:40.120> a<00:03:40.160> made-up<00:03:41.040> thing<00:03:41.280> that<00:03:41.480> you<00:03:41.560> just<00:03:41.840> tell<00:03:42.360> a<00:03:42.440> little<00:03:42.760> child,<00:03:43.360> you<00:03:43.440> know,<00:03:43.600> like,

00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:52.680
"The<00:03:44.320> dog<00:03:44.640> went<00:03:44.840> to<00:03:44.920> the<00:03:45.040> farm."<00:03:45.880> And<00:03:47.560> um<00:03:48.720> so,<00:03:49.000> it<00:03:49.080> was<00:03:49.239> just<00:03:49.440> something<00:03:49.760> we<00:03:49.840> didn't<00:03:50.160> really<00:03:50.480> talk<00:03:50.800> about<00:03:51.160> because<00:03:51.519> I<00:03:51.560> think<00:03:51.920> all<00:03:52.040> of<00:03:52.120> us<00:03:52.239> just

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.400
of<00:03:52.800> were<00:03:52.920> aligned<00:03:53.480> that<00:03:53.640> there<00:03:53.760> was<00:03:53.880> no<00:03:54.040> such<00:03:54.320> thing<00:03:54.640> and<00:03:54.840> it<00:03:54.960> was<00:03:55.280> really<00:03:55.560> upsetting.

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.560
Interestingly,<00:03:57.280> I<00:03:57.360> do<00:03:57.520> remember<00:03:57.960> once<00:03:59.000> reading<00:03:59.360> something<00:03:59.840> maybe<00:04:00.080> when<00:04:00.200> I<00:04:00.240> was<00:04:00.360> about<00:04:00.560> 13<00:04:01.080> about<00:04:01.360> near-death<00:04:01.800> experiences.

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.480
I<00:04:02.640> guess<00:04:02.840> there'd<00:04:03.000> been<00:04:03.200> some<00:04:03.400> articles<00:04:03.920> and<00:04:04.040> I<00:04:04.120> asked<00:04:04.400> my<00:04:04.520> mom<00:04:04.880> and<00:04:05.000> she<00:04:05.080> was<00:04:05.200> like,<00:04:05.360> "Oh,<00:04:05.480> that's<00:04:05.800> interesting."

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:09.760
And<00:04:07.320> she's<00:04:07.480> a<00:04:07.520> therapist,<00:04:08.080> did<00:04:08.240> some<00:04:08.440> work<00:04:08.680> with<00:04:08.840> neuroscientists.

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:17.400
She<00:04:10.640> was<00:04:10.720> like,<00:04:10.920> "Oh,<00:04:11.040> I'm<00:04:11.200> sure<00:04:11.400> there's<00:04:11.600> a<00:04:11.640> catch,<00:04:12.040> but<00:04:12.160> let<00:04:12.280> me<00:04:12.400> ask<00:04:12.920> neuroscientist<00:04:14.440> Excuse<00:04:14.720> me,<00:04:14.840> the<00:04:14.959> neuroscientist<00:04:15.560> she<00:04:15.680> works<00:04:15.959> with<00:04:16.239> and<00:04:16.799> they<00:04:17.000> immediately

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:21.720
said,<00:04:17.600> "Oh,<00:04:17.680> that's<00:04:17.920> complete<00:04:18.359> nonsense."<00:04:19.239> And<00:04:19.760> you<00:04:19.840> know,<00:04:20.000> that<00:04:20.200> was<00:04:20.480> kind<00:04:20.799> of<00:04:21.600> Yeah.

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.880
You<00:04:21.760> just<00:04:21.920> didn't<00:04:22.160> talk<00:04:22.440> about<00:04:22.720> it<00:04:22.840> because<00:04:23.160> it<00:04:23.240> was<00:04:23.360> too<00:04:23.480> sad.

00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:32.040
Who<00:04:24.000> wants<00:04:24.280> to<00:04:24.400> talk<00:04:24.600> about<00:04:24.880> it?<00:04:25.960> So<00:04:26.120> you<00:04:26.240> So<00:04:26.360> your<00:04:26.560> your<00:04:26.800> family<00:04:27.680> um<00:04:28.280> really<00:04:28.520> didn't<00:04:28.840> follow<00:04:29.240> any<00:04:29.480> religion,<00:04:30.560> you<00:04:30.680> know,<00:04:31.840> when<00:04:31.960> you

I<00:05:50.640> mean,<00:05:51.160> because<00:05:51.600> of<00:05:51.760> the<00:05:52.720> religious<00:05:53.200> upbringing,<00:05:53.800> you<00:05:53.920> know,<00:05:54.080> the<00:05:54.320> a<00:05:54.360> lot<00:05:54.600> of<00:05:54.800> religions<00:05:55.320> tell<00:05:55.560> you<00:05:55.720> you're<00:05:55.840> going<00:05:55.960> to<00:05:56.040> go<00:05:56.200> here<00:05:56.520> or<00:05:56.600> you're<00:05:56.680> going<00:05:56.800> to<00:05:56.880> go<00:05:57.000> there<00:05:57.360> based

00:05:57.640 --> 00:06:06.240
upon<00:05:57.920> the<00:05:58.000> way<00:05:58.160> you<00:05:58.280> live<00:05:58.480> your<00:05:58.600> life.<00:05:59.040> And<00:06:00.360> a<00:06:00.440> lot<00:06:00.640> of<00:06:00.720> the<00:06:00.800> scientists<00:06:02.200> um<00:06:03.400> they<00:06:04.280> um<00:06:06.120> you

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:13.480
know,<00:06:06.400> it's<00:06:06.920> interesting<00:06:07.440> to<00:06:07.560> me<00:06:07.680> because<00:06:08.000> I<00:06:08.360> I<00:06:08.440> know<00:06:08.600> I<00:06:08.680> once<00:06:08.960> read<00:06:09.160> a<00:06:09.480> survey<00:06:11.120> um<00:06:11.440> taken<00:06:11.960> only<00:06:12.360> among<00:06:12.720> scientists.

00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:21.800
And<00:06:13.600> scientists<00:06:14.120> are<00:06:14.200> taught<00:06:14.440> you<00:06:14.640> only<00:06:15.440> follow<00:06:16.000> the<00:06:16.160> evidence<00:06:16.720> and<00:06:16.840> you<00:06:16.920> you<00:06:17.040> know,<00:06:17.840> facts<00:06:18.400> and<00:06:18.560> you<00:06:18.680> and<00:06:18.840> then<00:06:19.000> you<00:06:19.160> evaluate<00:06:19.880> it<00:06:20.240> and<00:06:20.360> study<00:06:20.720> the<00:06:20.880> data.

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:27.480
So,<00:06:22.000> you<00:06:22.120> would<00:06:22.280> think<00:06:22.480> that<00:06:23.560> the<00:06:23.680> survey<00:06:24.240> asked<00:06:25.200> um<00:06:25.560> if<00:06:25.760> they<00:06:25.919> believed<00:06:26.400> in<00:06:26.520> God.

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:33.320
And<00:06:27.680> so,<00:06:27.840> you<00:06:27.960> would<00:06:28.080> think<00:06:28.280> in<00:06:28.360> the<00:06:28.440> scientific<00:06:29.040> community,<00:06:30.160> I<00:06:30.320> would<00:06:30.480> have<00:06:30.600> estimated<00:06:31.240> that<00:06:31.400> maybe<00:06:31.720> 30%<00:06:32.680> did.

00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:37.440
And<00:06:33.440> it<00:06:33.520> turned<00:06:33.840> out<00:06:34.040> that<00:06:34.640> almost<00:06:35.040> 80%<00:06:35.840> said<00:06:36.040> that<00:06:36.200> they<00:06:36.320> believed<00:06:36.720> in<00:06:36.840> God.

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:44.640
So,<00:06:37.600> I<00:06:37.640> thought<00:06:37.880> that<00:06:38.040> was<00:06:38.200> a<00:06:38.240> little<00:06:38.600> interesting,<00:06:39.080> especially<00:06:39.440> when<00:06:39.560> I<00:06:39.640> first<00:06:40.040> started<00:06:40.360> researching<00:06:40.919> all<00:06:41.000> this<00:06:41.160> stuff<00:06:41.400> because<00:06:42.080> they<00:06:42.280> dismiss<00:06:43.000> all<00:06:43.280> the<00:06:43.480> evidence

00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:53.120
that<00:06:45.040> you<00:06:45.120> know,<00:06:45.280> we<00:06:45.480> always<00:06:45.720> talk<00:06:46.040> about,<00:06:46.480> you<00:06:46.560> know,<00:06:46.760> and<00:06:46.840> then<00:06:47.000> near-death<00:06:47.360> experiences,<00:06:48.640> forget<00:06:48.960> the<00:06:49.040> communications,<00:06:49.760> reincarnation<00:06:50.760> and<00:06:51.840> and<00:06:52.000> everything<00:06:52.400> else.

00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.680
But<00:06:53.360> yet,<00:06:53.680> they<00:06:53.880> never<00:06:54.200> saw<00:06:54.400> any<00:06:54.840> they<00:06:55.000> never<00:06:55.280> got<00:06:55.480> any<00:06:55.680> proof<00:06:56.560> of,<00:06:56.800> you<00:06:56.919> know,<00:06:57.080> that<00:06:57.280> God<00:06:57.600> exists<00:06:58.200> and<00:06:58.320> yet,<00:06:59.120> you<00:06:59.200> know,<00:06:59.400> it's<00:06:59.640> their<00:06:59.840> faith,<00:07:00.360> you<00:07:00.480> know?

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.800
So,<00:07:00.880> it's<00:07:01.160> it's<00:07:01.400> like<00:07:01.800> a<00:07:01.880> bit<00:07:02.080> of<00:07:02.200> a<00:07:02.600> hypocrisy<00:07:03.360> in<00:07:03.520> the<00:07:03.600> scientific<00:07:04.240> community,<00:07:04.840> you<00:07:04.960> know?

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.360
I'm<00:07:05.880> sure<00:07:06.120> you<00:07:06.400> interesting.<00:07:07.360> Yeah,<00:07:07.880> I<00:07:08.040> hadn't<00:07:08.400> heard<00:07:08.640> that<00:07:08.840> about<00:07:10.000> God.

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.120
I<00:07:10.400> mean,<00:07:10.600> I<00:07:10.680> still<00:07:10.960> actually<00:07:11.240> don't<00:07:11.480> think<00:07:11.680> there's<00:07:11.919> a<00:07:11.960> God,<00:07:12.680> you<00:07:12.800> know?

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.720
But<00:07:14.240> I<00:07:14.360> it's<00:07:14.520> interesting.<00:07:14.919> So,<00:07:15.040> I<00:07:15.120> kind<00:07:15.360> of<00:07:15.440> think<00:07:15.600> it's<00:07:15.760> the<00:07:15.840> wrong<00:07:16.080> question.

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.880
I<00:07:16.800> think<00:07:17.120> it's<00:07:17.840> has<00:07:18.000> nothing<00:07:18.280> to<00:07:18.360> do<00:07:18.440> with<00:07:18.640> is<00:07:18.800> there<00:07:19.040> a<00:07:19.080> God<00:07:19.400> or<00:07:19.520> not.

00:07:19.880 --> 00:07:24.320
It's<00:07:20.320> is<00:07:20.520> consciousness<00:07:21.120> created<00:07:21.520> by<00:07:21.680> a<00:07:21.760> brain<00:07:22.280> or<00:07:22.400> is<00:07:22.520> it<00:07:22.640> downloaded<00:07:23.160> by<00:07:23.320> a<00:07:23.400> brain?

00:07:24.320 --> 00:07:26.840
And<00:07:25.320> hosted<00:07:25.680> somewhere<00:07:25.919> else<00:07:26.080> like<00:07:26.280> the<00:07:26.400> cloud.

00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:31.440
I<00:07:26.880> mean,<00:07:27.080> the<00:07:27.160> God's<00:07:27.520> just<00:07:28.200> that's<00:07:28.400> getting<00:07:28.680> into<00:07:29.760> major<00:07:30.480> philosophy.

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:34.840
I<00:07:31.480> mean,<00:07:32.320> maybe<00:07:32.760> there's<00:07:33.000> some<00:07:33.200> form<00:07:33.440> of<00:07:33.560> higher<00:07:33.960> consciousness.

00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:42.800
Who<00:07:34.960> know,<00:07:35.280> you<00:07:35.400> know,<00:07:35.640> I<00:07:35.680> mean,<00:07:35.880> I<00:07:35.960> wouldn't<00:07:36.760> align<00:07:37.040> it<00:07:37.120> with<00:07:37.240> any<00:07:37.480> type<00:07:37.760> of<00:07:38.280> God<00:07:38.560> that's<00:07:38.720> ever<00:07:38.880> been<00:07:39.040> defined<00:07:39.480> by<00:07:39.600> a<00:07:39.680> religion,<00:07:40.360> but<00:07:41.800> you<00:07:41.919> know,<00:07:42.080> that<00:07:42.320> that's<00:07:42.600> getting

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.240
into<00:07:43.320> the<00:07:43.400> realm<00:07:43.560> of<00:07:44.040> religion.<00:07:44.200> to<00:07:44.400> you're<00:07:44.840> you're<00:07:45.080> open<00:07:45.800> to<00:07:45.920> the<00:07:46.040> possibility,<00:07:46.920> right?

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:53.120
I<00:07:47.280> mean,<00:07:47.560> you're<00:07:47.920> you're<00:07:48.280> an<00:07:48.600> you're<00:07:48.720> an<00:07:48.880> open-minded<00:07:50.080> open-minded<00:07:50.920> skeptic,<00:07:51.480> right?

00:07:53.120 --> 00:08:01.760
Um<00:07:54.800> Yes,<00:07:55.320> after<00:07:56.240> I<00:07:56.320> mean,<00:07:56.840> after<00:07:57.160> everything<00:07:57.640> I've<00:07:57.840> learned,<00:07:58.720> I<00:07:58.800> guess<00:07:59.080> I<00:07:59.160> need<00:07:59.400> to<00:07:59.480> be<00:07:59.600> pretty<00:07:59.920> open-minded<00:08:00.680> that<00:08:01.440> things

00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:07.960
are<00:08:01.880> just<00:08:02.080> really<00:08:02.360> different<00:08:02.760> than<00:08:03.560> you<00:08:03.680> would<00:08:03.920> think,<00:08:04.520> but<00:08:05.480> I<00:08:05.520> wouldn't<00:08:05.880> think<00:08:06.080> it's<00:08:06.240> the<00:08:06.320> most<00:08:06.640> likely<00:08:07.520> answer.

00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:15.120
I<00:08:08.040> would<00:08:08.240> lean<00:08:08.400> a<00:08:08.440> little<00:08:08.680> more<00:08:08.840> towards<00:08:09.120> biocentrism<00:08:10.080> that,<00:08:10.560> you<00:08:10.640> know,<00:08:10.800> we're<00:08:10.960> sort<00:08:11.160> of<00:08:11.280> collective<00:08:12.400> consciousness<00:08:13.200> creating<00:08:13.720> stuff<00:08:14.000> together<00:08:14.440> rather<00:08:14.680> than<00:08:14.880> one

And<00:08:38.479> nobody<00:08:38.840> knew<00:08:39.080> about<00:08:39.440> it.<00:08:39.560> So,<00:08:40.120> I<00:08:40.200> mean,<00:08:40.440> was<00:08:40.640> there<00:08:40.800> surprise<00:08:41.440> when<00:08:41.599> you<00:08:41.680> started<00:08:42.479> learning<00:08:42.880> about<00:08:43.159> the<00:08:43.320> evidence?

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:53.280
Wow,<00:08:45.240> I<00:08:45.280> mean,<00:08:45.480> that's<00:08:45.720> an<00:08:45.839> understatement.<00:08:46.560> I<00:08:46.640> think<00:08:46.880> it<00:08:47.000> was<00:08:47.600> the<00:08:47.720> most<00:08:48.080> shocked<00:08:48.480> I've<00:08:48.680> ever<00:08:48.960> been,<00:08:50.040> but<00:08:50.200> then<00:08:50.520> also,<00:08:51.680> it<00:08:51.760> was<00:08:51.880> a<00:08:51.960> type<00:08:52.240> of<00:08:52.360> shock<00:08:52.720> where<00:08:52.839> I<00:08:52.880> was<00:08:53.000> like,

"No.<00:08:53.680> No<00:08:53.960> way.<00:08:54.160> This<00:08:54.480> cannot<00:08:55.200> be<00:08:55.360> true.

00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:04.560
There's<00:08:55.960> a<00:08:56.000> catch."<00:08:56.880> And<00:08:57.080> so<00:08:57.240> for<00:08:57.440> a<00:08:57.520> very<00:08:57.880> long<00:08:58.200> time<00:08:58.640> until<00:08:59.000> maybe<00:09:00.320> last<00:09:00.720> year,<00:09:01.600> I<00:09:01.839> I<00:09:02.080> finally<00:09:02.560> given<00:09:02.839> up<00:09:02.960> that<00:09:03.120> there's<00:09:03.360> a<00:09:03.440> catch.

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:11.800
I<00:09:04.640> still<00:09:04.880> my<00:09:05.040> fears<00:09:05.400> that<00:09:05.520> things<00:09:05.839> aren't<00:09:06.640> Not<00:09:06.839> that<00:09:07.040> all<00:09:07.200> of<00:09:07.280> this<00:09:07.440> isn't<00:09:07.839> true,<00:09:08.400> but<00:09:08.600> that<00:09:09.200> physics<00:09:09.560> will<00:09:09.680> come<00:09:09.839> up<00:09:10.000> for<00:09:10.280> it<00:09:10.400> with<00:09:10.600> an<00:09:10.720> explanation<00:09:11.320> and<00:09:11.440> the<00:09:11.520> answer

00:09:11.800 --> 00:09:20.200
is<00:09:11.880> not<00:09:12.080> individualist<00:09:13.160> survival,<00:09:14.360> but<00:09:15.480> yeah,<00:09:15.680> early<00:09:16.080> on,<00:09:16.480> I<00:09:16.600> would<00:09:16.839> say,<00:09:18.400> you<00:09:18.520> know,<00:09:18.640> there's<00:09:18.880> a<00:09:18.920> quote,<00:09:20.000> and

00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:25.200
I'm<00:09:20.320> going<00:09:20.480> to<00:09:20.560> butcher<00:09:20.920> it,<00:09:21.000> but<00:09:21.120> it's<00:09:21.320> the<00:09:21.440> concept.<00:09:21.920> It's<00:09:22.080> by<00:09:22.240> Dean<00:09:22.560> Radin,<00:09:23.000> and<00:09:23.120> it<00:09:23.240> sums<00:09:23.560> up<00:09:23.839> my<00:09:24.040> experience<00:09:24.640> with<00:09:24.800> all<00:09:24.920> this.

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:30.920
It's<00:09:25.400> like<00:09:25.560> when<00:09:25.680> you<00:09:25.800> first<00:09:26.760> start<00:09:27.240> hearing<00:09:27.680> all<00:09:27.920> this,<00:09:28.680> um<00:09:29.960> and<00:09:30.200> first<00:09:30.440> learn<00:09:30.600> about<00:09:30.839> it.

00:09:30.920 --> 00:09:37.080
I<00:09:30.960> believe<00:09:31.200> it<00:09:31.240> was<00:09:31.320> about<00:09:31.520> quantum<00:09:31.760> entanglement,<00:09:32.360> but<00:09:32.440> he<00:09:32.520> was<00:09:32.640> kind<00:09:32.839> of<00:09:32.920> using<00:09:33.200> it<00:09:33.920> to<00:09:34.080> apply<00:09:34.440> to<00:09:34.600> survival<00:09:35.080> and<00:09:35.160> all<00:09:35.240> this<00:09:35.400> research<00:09:35.800> in<00:09:35.920> general.

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:42.720
The<00:09:37.200> first<00:09:38.440> it's<00:09:38.840> like<00:09:38.960> going<00:09:39.160> down<00:09:39.320> a<00:09:39.360> roller<00:09:39.640> coaster,<00:09:40.040> your<00:09:40.200> stomach,<00:09:40.680> and<00:09:40.920> it's<00:09:41.080> the<00:09:41.120> most<00:09:41.320> profound<00:09:41.840> thing<00:09:42.040> you've<00:09:42.200> ever<00:09:42.440> heard.

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:47.000
And<00:09:42.800> the<00:09:42.880> further<00:09:43.240> you<00:09:43.360> go<00:09:43.520> with<00:09:43.720> it,<00:09:43.840> profound<00:09:44.640> doesn't<00:09:44.920> even<00:09:45.120> come<00:09:45.320> close<00:09:45.640> to<00:09:45.720> describing<00:09:46.240> what<00:09:46.360> you're<00:09:46.480> feeling.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:54.640
And<00:09:47.120> I<00:09:47.200> think<00:09:47.480> it<00:09:47.560> was<00:09:47.720> that.<00:09:47.920> It<00:09:48.000> was<00:09:48.120> just<00:09:48.360> this<00:09:49.000> complete<00:09:49.440> shock,<00:09:50.440> joy,<00:09:51.600> and<00:09:51.760> the<00:09:51.840> terror<00:09:52.280> that<00:09:52.480> I<00:09:52.520> was<00:09:52.680> going<00:09:52.800> to<00:09:52.880> find<00:09:53.120> the<00:09:53.200> catch.

00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:58.720
So,<00:09:55.000> it<00:09:55.120> was<00:09:55.280> only<00:09:55.640> last<00:09:56.040> year<00:09:56.360> that<00:09:56.600> you<00:09:56.840> were<00:09:57.000> elected?

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.760
That's<00:09:59.200> a<00:09:59.240> long<00:09:59.560> time.<00:10:00.800> Probably.

00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:06.720
Probably.<00:10:03.000> Longer<00:10:03.640> than<00:10:03.840> me,<00:10:04.080> I<00:10:04.160> think.<00:10:05.080> You're<00:10:05.360> 7<00:10:05.720> years,<00:10:06.120> I<00:10:06.200> remember.

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.760
I<00:10:06.840> thought<00:10:07.040> I<00:10:07.120> think<00:10:07.360> I<00:10:07.440> beat<00:10:07.680> you<00:10:07.880> by<00:10:08.040> a<00:10:08.160> year.<00:10:08.480> I<00:10:08.520> was<00:10:08.680> 8<00:10:08.840> years.

00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:18.920
So,<00:10:10.640> um<00:10:11.560> as<00:10:11.840> you're<00:10:12.920> learning<00:10:13.360> about<00:10:13.680> all<00:10:13.800> this<00:10:14.000> stuff,<00:10:15.480> did<00:10:15.680> you<00:10:15.880> have<00:10:16.440> any<00:10:16.800> kind<00:10:17.200> of<00:10:18.040> non-physical

00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:23.760
experiences<00:10:19.920> like<00:10:20.240> after-death<00:10:20.760> communications<00:10:21.800> or<00:10:22.000> anything<00:10:22.360> like<00:10:22.560> that?

00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:28.360
I<00:10:23.960> did.<00:10:24.640> So,<00:10:24.960> I<00:10:25.160> started<00:10:25.880> all<00:10:26.120> of<00:10:26.280> it<00:10:26.920> just<00:10:27.200> reading<00:10:27.480> the<00:10:27.600> data.

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.200
That<00:10:28.600> was,<00:10:29.240> you<00:10:29.360> know,<00:10:29.560> I<00:10:29.640> wasn't<00:10:30.120> trying<00:10:30.440> to<00:10:30.520> have<00:10:30.640> experiences.

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.320
I<00:10:31.240> didn't<00:10:31.440> think<00:10:31.560> it<00:10:31.640> was<00:10:31.760> an<00:10:31.920> option.<00:10:32.600> So,<00:10:32.880> it<00:10:33.040> started<00:10:33.480> with<00:10:33.640> finding<00:10:33.920> all<00:10:34.000> the<00:10:34.080> data<00:10:34.480> first.

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.960
You<00:10:35.360> know,<00:10:35.440> Dr.<00:10:35.760> Jim<00:10:35.960> Tucker<00:10:36.280> and<00:10:36.400> reading<00:10:36.640> everything,<00:10:37.040> reading<00:10:37.280> everything.

00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.520
And<00:10:38.120> then<00:10:39.280> you<00:10:39.360> weird<00:10:39.520> things<00:10:39.800> start<00:10:40.040> to<00:10:40.160> happen.

00:10:40.520 --> 00:10:44.839
The<00:10:40.640> very<00:10:40.960> first<00:10:41.320> I'd<00:10:41.520> say<00:10:42.480> was<00:10:42.600> going<00:10:42.920> to<00:10:43.040> a<00:10:43.120> medium.

00:10:44.839 --> 00:10:48.680
And<00:10:45.000> then<00:10:45.160> I<00:10:45.240> saw<00:10:45.640> my<00:10:45.839> dad<00:10:46.600> in<00:10:46.760> my<00:10:47.520> room.

00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:51.200
And<00:10:50.080> I<00:10:50.280> I<00:10:50.360> was<00:10:50.560> so<00:10:50.720> excited.

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:55.400
I<00:10:51.280> jumped,<00:10:51.920> and<00:10:52.040> I<00:10:52.080> was<00:10:52.320> ready<00:10:52.560> I<00:10:52.640> would<00:10:52.760> have<00:10:52.839> said<00:10:53.120> something,<00:10:53.560> and<00:10:53.680> then<00:10:53.800> he<00:10:53.960> went<00:10:54.120> away.

00:10:55.400 --> 00:11:00.000
And<00:10:56.839> and<00:10:57.000> then<00:10:57.600> Were<00:10:57.720> you<00:10:57.960> Were<00:10:58.200> you<00:10:58.400> afraid<00:10:59.040> when<00:10:59.160> that<00:10:59.400> happened?

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.520
No.<00:11:00.800> I<00:11:00.920> was<00:11:01.120> shocked.<00:11:01.640> I<00:11:01.720> was<00:11:01.920> thrilled,<00:11:02.440> and<00:11:02.560> I<00:11:02.640> wanted<00:11:02.920> to<00:11:03.040> talk<00:11:03.320> to<00:11:03.360> him.

00:11:03.520 --> 00:11:08.400
I<00:11:03.560> was<00:11:03.720> going<00:11:03.880> to<00:11:03.960> ask<00:11:04.360> him<00:11:04.560> for<00:11:04.920> You<00:11:05.000> know,<00:11:05.120> it<00:11:05.200> was<00:11:05.320> just<00:11:05.520> like<00:11:05.800> joy<00:11:07.000> and<00:11:07.240> shock.

00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:15.640
And,<00:11:09.040> you<00:11:09.160> know,<00:11:09.400> I<00:11:09.520> always<00:11:09.839> I<00:11:09.920> wanted<00:11:10.280> to<00:11:10.360> ask<00:11:10.720> him,<00:11:10.920> you<00:11:11.000> know,<00:11:11.120> "Tell<00:11:11.480> me<00:11:11.640> something<00:11:12.120> that<00:11:12.280> Mom<00:11:12.560> knows<00:11:12.920> that<00:11:13.160> I<00:11:13.280> don't<00:11:13.760> so<00:11:13.880> I<00:11:14.000> can<00:11:14.160> know<00:11:14.320> this<00:11:14.560> is<00:11:14.760> real."

00:11:15.640 --> 00:11:19.000
And<00:11:15.760> then<00:11:15.880> he<00:11:16.000> went<00:11:16.160> away.<00:11:16.960> And<00:11:18.400> Yeah.

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.720

00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.360
You<00:11:22.839> think<00:11:23.000> he<00:11:23.080> was<00:11:23.200> just<00:11:23.560> showing<00:11:23.920> up<00:11:24.040> to<00:11:24.160> say<00:11:24.360> hello<00:11:24.760> and<00:11:24.880> let<00:11:25.040> you<00:11:25.120> know<00:11:25.320> that<00:11:25.480> he's<00:11:25.680> there?

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:32.240
I<00:11:27.480> mean,<00:11:27.680> it's<00:11:27.839> hard<00:11:28.080> to<00:11:28.320> know.<00:11:28.920> If<00:11:29.200> I<00:11:29.360> could<00:11:29.560> guess,<00:11:29.920> this<00:11:30.200> is<00:11:30.480> really,<00:11:31.080> really<00:11:31.520> hard<00:11:31.839> to<00:11:31.960> do.

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:39.240
And<00:11:32.400> he<00:11:32.720> probably<00:11:33.120> built<00:11:33.440> up,<00:11:34.560> you<00:11:34.720> know,<00:11:34.840> who<00:11:34.960> knows<00:11:35.200> how<00:11:35.440> much<00:11:35.720> energy<00:11:36.120> and<00:11:36.280> did<00:11:36.520> it,<00:11:36.640> and<00:11:37.040> you<00:11:37.160> know,<00:11:37.720> and<00:11:37.840> could<00:11:38.000> only<00:11:38.240> stay<00:11:38.520> for<00:11:38.720> so<00:11:38.920> long.

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:45.280
It<00:11:39.400> seems<00:11:39.720> it's<00:11:39.920> some<00:11:40.200> way<00:11:40.400> of<00:11:40.560> like<00:11:41.520> pressing<00:11:41.960> into<00:11:42.200> another<00:11:42.520> dimension<00:11:43.120> that's<00:11:43.360> just<00:11:43.720> really,<00:11:44.240> really<00:11:44.800> hard.

00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:52.120
Just<00:11:45.680> probably<00:11:46.080> the<00:11:46.160> way<00:11:46.400> like,<00:11:47.400> you<00:11:47.520> know,<00:11:47.640> if<00:11:47.720> we<00:11:47.840> could<00:11:47.960> give<00:11:48.080> a<00:11:48.120> physical<00:11:48.560> description,<00:11:49.200> like<00:11:49.400> hold<00:11:49.600> your<00:11:49.720> breath<00:11:50.040> for<00:11:50.200> so<00:11:50.400> long,<00:11:50.760> or<00:11:50.880> hold<00:11:51.080> a<00:11:51.160> pull-up<00:11:51.520> for<00:11:51.680> so<00:11:51.840> long.

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.360
You<00:11:52.240> do<00:11:52.400> it<00:11:52.520> as<00:11:52.640> long<00:11:52.840> as<00:11:52.960> you<00:11:53.080> can.<00:11:53.840> Yeah.

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.000
And<00:11:54.640> or<00:11:55.080> on<00:11:55.240> the<00:11:55.400> other<00:11:55.560> hand,<00:11:56.720> he<00:11:56.840> didn't<00:11:57.120> go<00:11:57.320> away.

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:06.360
You<00:11:58.200> just,<00:11:59.480> it's<00:11:59.760> he<00:12:00.000> was<00:12:00.200> right<00:12:00.560> there,<00:12:01.080> but<00:12:01.320> you<00:12:01.720> you<00:12:01.960> lost<00:12:02.360> the<00:12:02.440> connection,<00:12:03.080> the<00:12:03.240> ability<00:12:03.840> to<00:12:04.880> uh<00:12:04.960> perceive<00:12:05.480> him.

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:13.840
You<00:12:06.480> know,<00:12:06.600> we<00:12:06.720> always<00:12:06.960> think<00:12:07.280> of<00:12:07.480> it<00:12:07.640> in<00:12:07.760> terms<00:12:08.120> of<00:12:08.280> them,<00:12:09.120> you<00:12:09.240> know,<00:12:09.480> manifesting,<00:12:10.480> you<00:12:10.600> know,<00:12:10.760> all<00:12:10.880> their<00:12:11.120> energy<00:12:11.480> to<00:12:11.640> do<00:12:11.880> it,<00:12:12.400> but<00:12:12.520> maybe<00:12:12.840> it's<00:12:13.080> not<00:12:13.320> that<00:12:13.560> way.

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.320
Maybe<00:12:14.120> they're<00:12:14.320> just<00:12:14.600> there,<00:12:14.920> and<00:12:15.040> it's<00:12:15.240> really<00:12:15.600> us.

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.440
Some<00:12:16.600> people,<00:12:17.200> it's<00:12:17.360> hard<00:12:17.640> for<00:12:17.840> us<00:12:18.000> to<00:12:18.160> maintain,<00:12:19.200> you<00:12:19.320> know,<00:12:19.480> the<00:12:19.680> the<00:12:19.840> connection.

00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.440
So,<00:12:20.720> I'm<00:12:21.040> open<00:12:21.280> to<00:12:21.360> that<00:12:21.520> possibility<00:12:22.240> as<00:12:22.400> well.

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:29.200
Um,<00:12:23.920> yeah,<00:12:24.480> maybe<00:12:24.720> a<00:12:24.800> combination.<00:12:25.680> Yeah,<00:12:26.120> those,<00:12:26.560> yeah,<00:12:26.840> but<00:12:26.960> those<00:12:27.160> are<00:12:27.240> my<00:12:27.360> very<00:12:27.680> first<00:12:28.040> two<00:12:28.680> experiences.

Um,<00:12:45.000> this<00:12:45.280> one<00:12:46.120> I<00:12:46.240> think<00:12:46.560> cuz<00:12:46.760> it<00:12:46.880> was,<00:12:47.600> you<00:12:47.680> know,<00:12:47.839> sort<00:12:48.000> of<00:12:48.120> a<00:12:48.160> turning<00:12:48.720> point<00:12:49.120> where<00:12:49.600> I<00:12:49.680> was<00:12:50.000> able<00:12:50.360> to<00:12:50.560> take<00:12:51.000> everything<00:12:51.560> in<00:12:51.880> at<00:12:52.040> the<00:12:52.160> next<00:12:52.480> level.

00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.800
Still<00:12:53.440> skeptical,<00:12:54.080> but<00:12:54.720> able<00:12:54.880> to<00:12:54.960> process<00:12:55.480> it<00:12:56.320> with<00:12:56.600> more<00:12:57.160> understanding.

00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:06.800
And<00:12:59.200> it<00:12:59.320> was<00:12:59.480> actually<00:12:59.800> the<00:12:59.960> first<00:13:00.680> retreat<00:13:01.200> I<00:13:01.320> went<00:13:01.560> to<00:13:01.760> for<00:13:01.920> Forever<00:13:02.280> Family<00:13:02.760> in<00:13:02.880> 20<00:13:03.680> eight<00:13:04.400> No,<00:13:04.640> no,<00:13:04.800> sorry,<00:13:05.120> 2016.

Be<00:16:12.520> somewhat<00:16:12.880> in<00:16:13.000> between<00:16:13.400> but<00:16:13.560> and<00:16:13.680> give<00:16:13.840> them<00:16:14.000> feedback."

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:20.120

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.520
But<00:16:20.400> I<00:16:20.520> feel<00:16:20.880> like<00:16:21.240> I<00:16:21.360> might<00:16:21.640> be<00:16:21.800> getting<00:16:22.120> made<00:16:22.320> fun<00:16:22.520> of<00:16:22.640> a<00:16:22.720> little<00:16:23.040> for<00:16:23.280> that,<00:16:23.840> so.

00:16:24.520 --> 00:16:27.640
Well,<00:16:24.880> all<00:16:24.960> right.<00:16:25.280> Well,<00:16:26.720> it<00:16:26.880> is<00:16:27.040> what<00:16:27.200> it<00:16:27.360> is.

00:16:27.640 --> 00:16:35.800
I<00:16:27.720> mean,<00:16:27.920> you<00:16:28.000> did<00:16:28.200> that<00:16:28.680> really<00:16:28.960> out<00:16:29.080> of<00:16:29.160> curiosity,<00:16:29.960> but<00:16:30.520> so<00:16:30.760> you<00:16:31.200> know<00:16:31.400> that<00:16:32.000> like<00:16:32.200> in<00:16:32.400> in<00:16:33.480> in<00:16:33.640> my<00:16:33.880> my<00:16:34.120> book<00:16:34.400> I<00:16:34.480> said<00:16:34.760> that<00:16:35.440> Mhm.

00:16:35.800 --> 00:16:41.440
I<00:16:35.920> thought<00:16:36.240> that<00:16:36.880> 85<00:16:37.480> to<00:16:37.600> 90%<00:16:38.440> of<00:16:38.520> the<00:16:38.600> practicing<00:16:39.200> mediums<00:16:39.640> couldn't<00:16:39.920> do<00:16:40.040> what<00:16:40.200> they<00:16:40.360> claim.

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:48.560
As<00:16:41.640> somebody<00:16:41.960> that's<00:16:42.320> seen<00:16:43.800> a<00:16:43.839> very<00:16:44.200> large<00:16:44.560> number<00:16:44.880> of<00:16:44.960> mediums,<00:16:47.240> what<00:16:47.520> what<00:16:47.640> do<00:16:47.720> you<00:16:47.839> think<00:16:48.080> about<00:16:48.360> that?

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:57.040
What<00:16:48.680> do<00:16:48.760> you<00:16:48.839> what<00:16:49.000> do<00:16:49.080> you<00:16:49.200> what<00:16:49.480> what<00:16:49.680> kind<00:16:49.880> of<00:16:50.000> percentage<00:16:50.640> would<00:16:50.800> you<00:16:50.960> think<00:16:51.280> that<00:16:51.600> of<00:16:51.839> of<00:16:52.040> mediums<00:16:53.480> uh<00:16:54.640> you<00:16:54.760> know,<00:16:54.920> can<00:16:55.240> can<00:16:55.440> really<00:16:55.720> do<00:16:55.920> it?

00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:05.800
I<00:16:57.120> would<00:16:57.320> agree<00:16:57.600> with<00:16:57.800> you.<00:16:58.280> I<00:16:58.400> mean,<00:16:58.800> I<00:16:58.920> think<00:16:59.720> my<00:17:00.440> the<00:17:00.520> readings<00:17:00.960> I<00:17:01.080> have<00:17:01.320> gotten,<00:17:02.160> again,<00:17:02.880> a<00:17:02.960> large<00:17:03.360> percent<00:17:03.760> have<00:17:03.880> been<00:17:04.040> like<00:17:04.280> in<00:17:04.439> classes<00:17:04.959> helping<00:17:05.400> people,

00:17:05.800 --> 00:17:13.880
so<00:17:06.000> that<00:17:06.280> really<00:17:06.560> skews<00:17:06.959> the<00:17:07.040> amount<00:17:07.319> I've<00:17:07.439> had<00:17:07.760> and<00:17:08.360> those<00:17:08.560> things<00:17:08.760> are<00:17:08.800> pretty<00:17:09.040> new,<00:17:09.280> so<00:17:09.400> I'd<00:17:09.600> say<00:17:10.439> a<00:17:10.480> lot<00:17:10.680> of<00:17:10.760> them,<00:17:11.199> you<00:17:11.280> know,<00:17:11.439> at<00:17:11.520> this<00:17:11.760> point<00:17:12.560> not<00:17:13.160> as<00:17:13.319> evidential,

00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:21.520

That's<00:22:14.280> about<00:22:14.640> the<00:22:15.160> the<00:22:15.240> most<00:22:15.640> extreme<00:22:16.200> I've<00:22:16.400> ever<00:22:16.600> heard,<00:22:17.000> but<00:22:18.360> you<00:22:18.440> know,<00:22:18.600> you<00:22:18.800> are<00:22:19.040> a<00:22:19.120> science-y<00:22:19.760> girl,<00:22:20.160> so<00:22:20.360> that<00:22:20.640> that<00:22:20.840> was<00:22:20.960> the<00:22:21.040> way<00:22:21.200> you<00:22:21.320> were<00:22:21.440> thinking.

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.560
[laughter]<00:22:22.263> Yes.<00:22:22.566> Yes.<00:22:22.869> Yes.<00:22:23.171> That<00:22:23.474> was<00:22:23.777> very<00:22:24.080> cheeky<00:22:24.383> of<00:22:24.686> me<00:22:24.989> to<00:22:25.291> say<00:22:25.594> that<00:22:25.897> out<00:22:26.200> loud.

00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:29.080
[laughter]<00:22:26.785> that<00:22:27.010> was<00:22:27.235> a<00:22:27.460> little<00:22:27.685> bit<00:22:27.910> extreme,<00:22:28.135> don't<00:22:28.360> you?

00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:38.440
Not<00:22:29.360> at<00:22:29.520> all.<00:22:30.000> No,<00:22:30.440> I<00:22:30.560> think<00:22:30.800> it<00:22:30.920> was<00:22:31.120> smart<00:22:31.640> because<00:22:32.640> if<00:22:32.840> a<00:22:32.920> medium<00:22:33.640> had<00:22:35.080> let's<00:22:35.240> say<00:22:35.400> a<00:22:35.480> contact<00:22:36.040> to<00:22:36.160> the<00:22:36.320> CIA<00:22:36.880> or<00:22:37.000> FBI,<00:22:38.320> I

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.120
used<00:22:38.680> to<00:22:38.760> wonder<00:22:39.040> if<00:22:39.160> that<00:22:39.560> was<00:22:39.760> what<00:22:39.960> made<00:22:40.200> the<00:22:40.320> top<00:22:40.680> mediums<00:22:41.200> the<00:22:41.360> top<00:22:41.640> mediums.

00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:44.360
They<00:22:42.200> just<00:22:42.400> had<00:22:42.560> really<00:22:42.800> good<00:22:43.040> CIA<00:22:43.640> contacts.

00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:47.240
So,<00:22:45.160> it<00:22:45.320> actually<00:22:45.880> I<00:22:45.920> mean,<00:22:46.160> I<00:22:46.240> think<00:22:46.480> it's<00:22:46.680> logical.

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.040
I<00:22:47.320> would<00:22:47.480> still<00:22:47.720> tell<00:22:47.920> someone<00:22:48.280> to<00:22:48.400> do<00:22:48.600> that<00:22:48.880> because<00:22:49.960> they<00:22:50.160> have<00:22:50.360> that<00:22:50.520> contact.

00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:53.960
I'm<00:22:51.200> the<00:22:51.280> only<00:22:51.560> one<00:22:51.760> supposedly<00:22:52.280> touched<00:22:52.600> the<00:22:52.720> paper.

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.920
Um<00:22:55.240> and<00:22:55.600> then<00:22:56.040> they<00:22:56.160> would<00:22:56.320> run<00:22:56.480> it<00:22:56.600> through.

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.760
So,<00:22:57.080> it<00:22:57.120> should<00:22:57.280> only<00:22:57.520> have<00:22:57.680> one<00:22:57.920> set<00:22:58.080> of<00:22:58.160> fingerprints.<00:22:58.840> That<00:22:59.000> would<00:22:59.080> be<00:22:59.200> mine.

00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:02.920
They<00:22:59.840> have<00:23:00.000> a<00:23:00.440> brother<00:23:00.800> and<00:23:01.120> husband,<00:23:01.680> whatever,<00:23:02.040> in<00:23:02.120> the<00:23:02.240> CIA.

00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.440
There<00:23:03.237> you<00:23:03.553> go.<00:23:03.870> You<00:23:04.187> have<00:23:04.503> everything<00:23:04.820> on<00:23:05.137> me.<00:23:05.453> Does<00:23:05.770> paper<00:23:06.087> hold<00:23:06.403> a<00:23:06.720> fingerprint?

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.040
I<00:23:07.520> didn't.<00:23:07.920> I<00:23:07.960> don't<00:23:08.200> even<00:23:08.480> know.<00:23:08.920> Oh,<00:23:09.400> I<00:23:09.520> don't<00:23:09.760> know.

00:23:10.040 --> 00:23:14.400
I<00:23:10.120> wasn't<00:23:10.400> going<00:23:10.520> to<00:23:10.600> take<00:23:10.800> the<00:23:10.920> risk.<00:23:13.280> Uh,<00:23:13.480> probably.

00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:20.080
Probably.<00:23:15.000> I<00:23:15.040> mean,<00:23:15.480> you<00:23:15.600> hear<00:23:15.840> of<00:23:16.600> detectives<00:23:17.160> solving<00:23:17.520> crimes<00:23:18.000> through<00:23:18.160> fingerprints,<00:23:18.800> so<00:23:18.920> maybe.

00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:29.040
So,<00:23:20.551> in<00:23:21.021> your<00:23:21.492> books<00:23:21.962> and,<00:23:22.433> um,<00:23:22.904> you<00:23:23.374> know,<00:23:23.845> personally,<00:23:24.315> you<00:23:24.786> know,<00:23:25.256> from<00:23:25.727> personal<00:23:26.198> experiences,<00:23:26.668> you're<00:23:27.139> interested<00:23:27.609> in<00:23:28.080> grief.

00:23:29.040 --> 00:23:36.680
And<00:23:29.480> so,<00:23:30.680> what<00:23:31.120> do<00:23:31.240> you<00:23:31.400> think<00:23:31.720> of<00:23:31.880> the<00:23:32.720> classical<00:23:33.480> five<00:23:33.840> stages<00:23:34.360> of<00:23:34.480> grief?

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.000
Um,<00:23:37.520> I<00:23:37.600> don't<00:23:37.800> resonate<00:23:38.240> with<00:23:38.360> it<00:23:38.480> at<00:23:38.640> all.

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:44.040
I<00:23:39.484> think,<00:23:39.968> I<00:23:40.452> mean,<00:23:40.936> I'm<00:23:41.420> not<00:23:41.904> like,<00:23:42.388> "Oh,<00:23:42.872> it's<00:23:43.356> 100%<00:23:43.840> off."

00:23:44.040 --> 00:23:52.360
Makes<00:23:44.280> no<00:23:44.640> sense<00:23:45.000> whatsoever."<00:23:45.560> I<00:23:45.640> think<00:23:45.880> it's<00:23:46.040> sort<00:23:46.280> of<00:23:47.280> just<00:23:48.120> a<00:23:48.200> general,<00:23:48.760> very,<00:23:49.240> very<00:23:49.840> general<00:23:51.120> broad<00:23:51.720> model,<00:23:52.200> and

00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:54.600
you<00:23:52.480> can<00:23:52.640> just<00:23:52.800> be<00:23:52.880> like,<00:23:53.000> "Oh,<00:23:53.120> I<00:23:53.280> kind<00:23:53.640> of<00:23:53.720> have<00:23:53.920> felt<00:23:54.240> that."

00:23:54.600 --> 00:23:59.480
I<00:23:54.640> can<00:23:54.840> relate<00:23:55.080> to<00:23:55.200> that."<00:23:55.440> I<00:23:55.480> think<00:23:55.680> it's<00:23:55.840> a<00:23:55.880> way,<00:23:56.040> maybe,<00:23:56.400> to<00:23:56.560> make<00:23:56.800> it<00:23:56.920> a<00:23:56.960> little<00:23:57.840> universal.

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:05.120
And<00:23:59.600> there's<00:23:59.760> something<00:24:00.080> nice<00:24:00.400> about<00:24:00.800> not<00:24:01.000> having<00:24:01.280> it<00:24:01.440> so<00:24:01.720> lonely,<00:24:02.400> but<00:24:03.240> I<00:24:03.360> don't<00:24:03.600> relate<00:24:04.560> to<00:24:04.880> that.

00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:12.280
I<00:24:05.359> think<00:24:05.597> it's<00:24:05.836> very<00:24:06.074> individual,<00:24:06.313> and<00:24:06.552> you<00:24:06.790> can<00:24:07.029> even<00:24:07.268> have<00:24:07.506> two<00:24:07.745> people<00:24:07.983> who<00:24:08.222> could<00:24:08.461> have<00:24:08.699> had<00:24:08.938> the<00:24:09.177> same<00:24:09.415> loss,<00:24:09.654> or<00:24:09.892> lost<00:24:10.131> the<00:24:10.370> same<00:24:10.608> person,<00:24:10.847> or<00:24:11.086> two,<00:24:11.324> you<00:24:11.563> know,<00:24:11.801> two<00:24:12.040> people

00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:15.560
had<00:24:12.440> the<00:24:12.520> same<00:24:12.760> loss,<00:24:13.000> like<00:24:13.320> siblings<00:24:13.840> who<00:24:13.880> both<00:24:14.120> lost<00:24:14.360> a<00:24:14.400> parent.

00:24:15.560 --> 00:24:21.400
Um,<00:24:16.520> you<00:24:16.600> know,<00:24:16.720> my<00:24:16.840> mom<00:24:17.080> and<00:24:17.160> I<00:24:17.240> both<00:24:17.400> having<00:24:17.640> lost<00:24:17.840> my<00:24:17.960> dad,<00:24:18.240> we<00:24:18.480> handled<00:24:18.880> it<00:24:19.080> very,<00:24:19.480> very<00:24:19.720> differently,<00:24:20.120> and<00:24:20.200> emotions<00:24:20.680> are<00:24:20.720> very<00:24:20.960> different.

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:29.600
So,<00:24:21.560> I<00:24:21.680> think,<00:24:22.880> I<00:24:22.920> think<00:24:23.280> when<00:24:23.360> you<00:24:23.400> try<00:24:23.600> to<00:24:23.720> say<00:24:24.080> grief<00:24:24.400> is<00:24:24.520> letting,<00:24:24.800> or<00:24:25.040> they<00:24:25.200> try<00:24:25.360> to<00:24:25.480> say<00:24:25.680> this<00:24:25.920> is<00:24:26.040> how<00:24:26.160> grief's<00:24:26.440> supposed<00:24:26.760> to<00:24:26.840> be,<00:24:27.920> it<00:24:28.000> can<00:24:28.160> kind<00:24:28.320> of<00:24:28.400> mess<00:24:28.680> you<00:24:28.880> up,<00:24:29.240> because

00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:34.360
you're<00:24:29.720> like,<00:24:30.080> "But<00:24:30.120> wait,<00:24:30.360> that's<00:24:30.560> not<00:24:30.760> it<00:24:30.880> for<00:24:31.080> me."<00:24:31.480> Or<00:24:32.200> that<00:24:33.040> after<00:24:33.400> a<00:24:33.480> year<00:24:33.760> you'll<00:24:33.920> feel<00:24:34.120> better.

00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:36.520
Remember<00:24:34.680> kind<00:24:34.880> of<00:24:35.080> waiting<00:24:35.480> for<00:24:35.600> that<00:24:35.800> turning<00:24:36.240> point.

00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:41.440
I'm<00:24:36.640> like,<00:24:37.040> "Oh,<00:24:37.200> I<00:24:37.280> actually<00:24:37.720> feel<00:24:38.040> worse,<00:24:38.600> 'cause<00:24:38.760> like<00:24:38.920> some<00:24:39.040> of<00:24:39.120> the<00:24:39.200> numbness<00:24:39.720> is<00:24:39.920> gone,<00:24:40.320> and<00:24:40.440> that<00:24:40.600> was<00:24:40.800> hard."

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:49.640

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:40.880
Oof.<00:25:37.920> Well,<00:25:38.400> I<00:25:38.520> will<00:25:38.720> say<00:25:39.600> one<00:25:39.880> of<00:25:40.040> two<00:25:40.200> things.

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:49.000
Logically,<00:25:41.560> I<00:25:41.680> will<00:25:42.000> say<00:25:42.240> a<00:25:42.280> near-death<00:25:42.720> experience<00:25:43.800> because<00:25:44.480> that<00:25:44.720> seems<00:25:45.000> to<00:25:45.080> be<00:25:45.200> what<00:25:45.320> happens<00:25:45.800> to<00:25:45.840> the<00:25:45.920> majority,<00:25:46.600> 99.9%<00:25:47.960> of<00:25:48.040> the<00:25:48.120> people.

00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:55.720
Yeah.<00:25:49.280> But,<00:25:49.400> me<00:25:49.640> sitting<00:25:50.040> here<00:25:50.320> as<00:25:50.520> Liz<00:25:50.800> now,<00:25:51.160> I'd<00:25:51.360> say,<00:25:51.600> well,<00:25:52.560> how<00:25:52.680> do<00:25:52.840> I<00:25:52.920> know<00:25:53.120> that<00:25:53.280> wasn't<00:25:53.720> a<00:25:53.760> hallucination<00:25:54.480> of<00:25:54.600> a<00:25:54.640> dying<00:25:55.080> brain?

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.720
So,<00:25:55.960> most<00:25:56.240> likely,<00:25:56.720> probably<00:25:58.240> after<00:25:58.680> I<00:25:58.800> die.

00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:07.840
Um,<00:26:00.053> although,<00:26:00.387> I<00:26:00.720> believe<00:26:01.053> it<00:26:01.387> was<00:26:01.720> Joe<00:26:02.053> Prado,<00:26:02.387> if<00:26:02.720> you're<00:26:03.053> listening,<00:26:03.387> said<00:26:03.720> to<00:26:04.053> me,<00:26:04.387> you<00:26:04.720> know,<00:26:05.053> no,<00:26:05.387> because<00:26:05.720> right<00:26:06.053> after<00:26:06.387> I<00:26:06.720> die,<00:26:07.053> I'm<00:26:07.387> probably<00:26:07.720> going

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:20.880
to<00:26:15.024> follow<00:26:15.367> us<00:26:15.711> all<00:26:16.054> around<00:26:16.398> and<00:26:16.741> drive<00:26:17.085> us<00:26:17.428> crazy<00:26:17.772> for,<00:26:18.115> for<00:26:18.459> like<00:26:18.802> years<00:26:19.146> because,<00:26:19.489> you<00:26:19.833> know,<00:26:20.176> time's<00:26:20.520> different.

00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:25.480
Years<00:26:21.120> is<00:26:21.240> probably<00:26:21.480> like<00:26:21.680> 3<00:26:21.880> days<00:26:22.920> here<00:26:23.160> and<00:26:23.240> just<00:26:23.400> the<00:26:23.440> whole<00:26:23.640> time<00:26:23.880> be<00:26:23.960> like,<00:26:24.160> but<00:26:24.320> wait,<00:26:24.680> this<00:26:24.960> just<00:26:25.160> happened.

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.160
So,<00:26:25.560> maybe<00:26:25.880> I<00:26:26.040> am<00:26:26.320> really<00:26:26.600> dead<00:26:26.920> and<00:26:27.040> not<00:26:27.280> imagining<00:26:27.880> all<00:26:28.040> of<00:26:28.160> you<00:26:28.280> while<00:26:28.480> in<00:26:28.600> hospice.

00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:33.480
So,<00:26:30.720> so,<00:26:30.880> what<00:26:30.960> you're<00:26:31.040> telling<00:26:31.360> me<00:26:31.480> is,<00:26:31.840> is<00:26:31.960> that<00:26:32.280> years<00:26:32.600> in<00:26:32.680> the<00:26:32.760> afterlife.

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:40.040
you<00:26:33.640> die<00:26:34.400> and<00:26:34.600> you<00:26:34.720> wake<00:26:35.080> up<00:26:35.280> and<00:26:35.400> you're<00:26:35.520> still<00:26:35.960> alive,<00:26:36.960> you're<00:26:37.160> still<00:26:37.640> not<00:26:37.920> going<00:26:38.040> to<00:26:38.120> be<00:26:38.240> fully<00:26:38.560> convinced.

00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:43.760
Probably<00:26:41.120> for<00:26:41.200> a<00:26:41.240> long<00:26:41.560> time.

00:26:43.760 --> 00:26:48.400
Okay,<00:26:44.120> that's<00:26:44.320> a<00:26:44.360> different<00:26:44.880> guess.<00:26:45.360> That's<00:26:45.640> my<00:26:45.880> guess.

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.480
All<00:26:48.560> right.<00:26:48.960> So,<00:26:49.680> um

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:59.560
you<00:26:52.600> know,<00:26:53.240> as<00:26:53.480> you<00:26:53.600> know,<00:26:53.800> like<00:26:54.000> mediumship<00:26:54.760> research<00:26:55.280> has<00:26:55.480> been<00:26:55.680> going<00:26:56.040> on<00:26:56.320> for<00:26:57.080> many<00:26:57.440> decades<00:26:58.600> and<00:26:59.160> Yes.

00:26:59.560 --> 00:27:02.880
it's<00:26:59.920> all<00:27:00.200> taken<00:27:00.720> the<00:27:00.840> same<00:27:01.200> path.

00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:11.200
Um,<00:27:03.560> mediums<00:27:04.240> are<00:27:04.920> studied,<00:27:05.600> you<00:27:06.280> know,<00:27:06.960> studied,<00:27:07.640> um,<00:27:08.320> and<00:27:09.000> the<00:27:09.680> evidence<00:27:10.360> that<00:27:11.040> they

the<00:27:21.693> consensus<00:27:22.147> on<00:27:22.600> most<00:27:23.053> of<00:27:23.507> these<00:27:23.960> studies<00:27:24.413> is<00:27:24.867> that<00:27:25.320> some<00:27:25.773> people<00:27:26.227> can<00:27:26.680> communicate<00:27:27.133> with<00:27:27.587> disincarnate<00:27:28.040> entities<00:27:28.493> without<00:27:28.947> deception<00:27:29.400> or

00:27:32.280 --> 00:27:34.520

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:08.200
I<00:28:03.200> think<00:28:03.400> we<00:28:03.520> need<00:28:03.680> to<00:28:03.760> keep<00:28:04.000> doing<00:28:04.320> it<00:28:04.480> because<00:28:04.760> it's<00:28:05.080> such<00:28:05.360> a<00:28:05.440> preponderance<00:28:06.160> of<00:28:06.400> evidence<00:28:07.120> needed.

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:12.120
Um,<00:28:08.480> extraordinary,<00:28:09.280> I<00:28:09.360> know<00:28:09.560> people<00:28:09.880> hate<00:28:10.240> this<00:28:10.440> line,<00:28:10.680> but<00:28:11.240> I<00:28:11.360> still<00:28:11.600> stand<00:28:11.840> by<00:28:12.040> it.

00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:14.800
Extraordinary<00:28:12.720> claims<00:28:13.120> require<00:28:13.760> extraordinary<00:28:14.360> evidence.

00:28:14.800 --> 00:28:17.400
I<00:28:14.880> think<00:28:15.040> it's<00:28:15.160> something<00:28:16.160> so<00:28:16.640> astounding.

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:25.720

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:33.960
is<00:28:25.960> there's<00:28:26.240> something<00:28:26.840> now,<00:28:27.880> um,<00:28:28.160> it's<00:28:28.400> still<00:28:28.640> early<00:28:28.920> stage,<00:28:29.200> but<00:28:29.360> lab-grown<00:28:30.040> brains<00:28:30.800> and<00:28:31.040> I<00:28:31.160> think<00:28:32.240> once<00:28:33.400> I<00:28:33.560> can<00:28:33.760> see

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:36.360
so<00:28:34.320> many<00:28:34.600> experiments<00:28:35.280> we<00:28:35.400> can<00:28:35.640> do<00:28:35.880> with<00:28:36.040> that.

00:28:36.360 --> 00:28:39.720
I<00:28:36.400> mean,<00:28:36.600> we'll<00:28:36.720> get<00:28:36.880> so<00:28:37.000> much<00:28:37.240> more<00:28:37.480> insight<00:28:37.960> into<00:28:38.240> brains,<00:28:38.840> brain<00:28:39.200> waves.

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:48.200
We<00:28:39.840> can<00:28:40.000> do<00:28:40.200> stuff<00:28:41.480> such<00:28:41.880> as,<00:28:42.080> you<00:28:42.200> know,<00:28:43.560> well,<00:28:43.800> I<00:28:43.880> think<00:28:44.080> neuroscience<00:28:44.640> in<00:28:44.760> general<00:28:45.320> hooking<00:28:45.720> up<00:28:46.520> more<00:28:47.080> and<00:28:47.160> more<00:28:47.360> mediums'<00:28:47.840> brains

00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:04.520
And<00:28:55.960> possibly<00:28:56.440> AI<00:28:57.000> into<00:28:57.320> this,<00:28:58.080> but<00:28:58.600> I'm<00:28:58.880> not<00:28:59.080> as<00:28:59.240> clear<00:28:59.640> yet<00:28:59.960> how<00:29:00.160> we<00:29:00.320> could<00:29:00.480> use<00:29:00.720> AI<00:29:01.000> 'cause<00:29:01.160> I<00:29:01.200> think<00:29:01.400> that<00:29:01.520> could<00:29:01.680> so<00:29:01.840> clearly<00:29:02.240> mimic<00:29:02.720> consciousness<00:29:03.400> that<00:29:03.560> I'm<00:29:03.640> not<00:29:03.840> sure

maybe<00:29:33.600> eventually<00:29:34.120> do<00:29:34.320> it<00:29:34.440> ourselves,<00:29:35.120> you<00:29:35.240> know,<00:29:35.440> so<00:29:35.640> I<00:29:35.720> think<00:29:35.960> that<00:29:36.560> that<00:29:36.760> has,<00:29:36.960> that<00:29:37.160> has<00:29:37.360> potential,<00:29:38.520> um,<00:29:38.760> and<00:29:38.880> that<00:29:39.120> may,<00:29:40.240> that,<00:29:40.520> that<00:29:40.720> may<00:29:40.880> be<00:29:41.080> the<00:29:41.240> way

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:47.360
um,<00:29:42.357> you<00:29:42.714> know,<00:29:43.071> the,<00:29:43.428> the<00:29:43.785> most<00:29:44.142> beneficial<00:29:44.498> type<00:29:44.855> of<00:29:45.212> research<00:29:45.569> that<00:29:45.926> can<00:29:46.283> be<00:29:46.640> done.

00:29:47.360 --> 00:29:52.680
Lab-grown,<00:29:47.596> right,<00:29:47.833> I<00:29:48.069> got<00:29:48.305> to<00:29:48.542> think<00:29:48.778> that<00:29:49.015> that's<00:29:49.251> going<00:29:49.487> to<00:29:49.724> be<00:29:49.960> after<00:29:50.196> I'm<00:29:50.433> gone,<00:29:50.669> you<00:29:50.905> know,<00:29:51.142> I<00:29:51.378> don't<00:29:51.615> know<00:29:51.851> I'll<00:29:52.087> see<00:29:52.324> that<00:29:52.560> happen.

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:58.280
It's<00:29:52.720> going<00:29:52.840> to<00:29:52.920> be<00:29:53.160> after<00:29:53.680> probably<00:29:54.680> my<00:29:54.840> grandkids<00:29:55.560> I'll<00:29:55.760> be<00:29:55.920> gone,<00:29:56.440> you<00:29:56.560> know,<00:29:56.680> it's<00:29:56.800> going<00:29:56.920> to<00:29:56.960> be<00:29:57.040> a<00:29:57.080> long<00:29:57.440> time.

00:29:58.280 --> 00:30:06.680
Um,<00:29:59.160> but<00:29:59.320> what<00:29:59.520> I<00:29:59.600> like<00:29:59.960> about<00:30:00.400> it<00:30:00.600> is<00:30:00.760> it's<00:30:00.960> not,<00:30:01.480> it's<00:30:01.680> a<00:30:01.760> brain<00:30:02.600> not<00:30:03.040> attached<00:30:03.640> to<00:30:03.760> a<00:30:03.800> personality<00:30:05.480> and<00:30:05.560> an<00:30:05.680> individuality.

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.040
So,<00:30:06.880> I<00:30:06.960> think<00:30:07.240> we<00:30:07.360> can<00:30:07.600> explore<00:30:08.160> a<00:30:08.240> lot<00:30:08.520> with<00:30:08.760> that.

00:30:09.040 --> 00:30:11.000
Can<00:30:09.200> you<00:30:09.360> send<00:30:09.840> a<00:30:09.920> personality<00:30:10.720> to<00:30:10.880> it?

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.160
Can<00:30:11.160> you<00:30:11.280> send<00:30:11.720> information<00:30:12.480> to<00:30:12.720> it?

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:20.960
And<00:30:14.280> you<00:30:14.360> know,<00:30:14.520> because<00:30:14.920> there's<00:30:15.120> also<00:30:15.400> theories<00:30:15.840> that<00:30:16.440> us<00:30:16.720> ourselves<00:30:17.920> are<00:30:18.000> essentially<00:30:18.440> on<00:30:18.560> the<00:30:18.680> other<00:30:18.880> side<00:30:19.320> and<00:30:19.400> when<00:30:19.520> we<00:30:19.640> come<00:30:19.920> here,<00:30:20.160> we're<00:30:20.280> still<00:30:20.560> on<00:30:20.640> the<00:30:20.760> other

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:27.000
side,<00:30:21.360> but<00:30:22.080> a<00:30:22.160> large<00:30:22.560> percentage<00:30:22.880> of<00:30:22.960> our<00:30:23.040> consciousness<00:30:23.640> is<00:30:23.760> attached<00:30:24.720> to<00:30:24.880> a<00:30:24.920> physical<00:30:25.400> individuality.

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:34.480
And<00:30:27.120> if<00:30:27.280> you<00:30:27.400> eliminate<00:30:28.040> that,<00:30:28.720> you<00:30:28.840> know,<00:30:29.000> when<00:30:29.200> someone,<00:30:29.600> and<00:30:29.680> then<00:30:30.160> you<00:30:30.280> know,<00:30:30.400> someone<00:30:30.680> passes<00:30:31.120> away<00:30:32.000> and<00:30:32.360> then<00:30:32.560> they're<00:30:32.760> fully<00:30:33.240> on<00:30:33.360> the<00:30:33.520> other<00:30:33.720> side<00:30:34.000> or<00:30:34.080> maybe<00:30:34.320> other

00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:38.520
But<00:54:31.120> when<00:54:31.280> you<00:54:31.400> start<00:54:31.680> to<00:54:31.760> think<00:54:32.000> about<00:54:32.360> it,<00:54:32.520> like,<00:54:34.080> you<00:54:34.240> know,<00:54:35.200> it<00:54:35.360> makes<00:54:35.720> absolutely<00:54:36.040> no<00:54:36.200> sense<00:54:36.520> how<00:54:36.640> consciousness<00:54:37.200> could<00:54:37.320> be<00:54:37.800> not<00:54:38.080> created<00:54:38.360> by<00:54:38.480> a

00:54:38.520 --> 00:54:43.480
brain<00:54:38.840> and<00:54:38.960> downloaded<00:54:39.520> by<00:54:39.680> it.<00:54:39.920> It<00:54:40.000> makes<00:54:40.240> just<00:54:40.520> as<00:54:40.640> little<00:54:40.880> sense<00:54:41.240> that<00:54:41.360> consciousness<00:54:41.920> could<00:54:42.040> be<00:54:42.160> created<00:54:42.640> by<00:54:42.800> a<00:54:42.880> brain.

00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:50.720
Cuz<00:54:43.800> like,<00:54:44.040> how<00:54:44.160> does<00:54:44.400> mass<00:54:45.360> and<00:54:45.560> matter<00:54:46.800> create<00:54:47.040> this<00:54:47.200> complex<00:54:47.760> consciousness<00:54:48.360> that's<00:54:48.600> like<00:54:48.920> love<00:54:49.280> and<00:54:49.400> emotions<00:54:49.960> and<00:54:50.040> personality?

00:54:50.720 --> 00:54:53.480
Both<00:54:51.240> equally<00:54:51.680> make<00:54:52.080> absolutely<00:54:52.480> no<00:54:52.640> sense.

00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:57.240
And<00:54:53.640> they're<00:54:53.760> both<00:54:54.080> too<00:54:54.280> weird.<00:54:54.760> And<00:54:54.960> so,<00:54:55.080> that<00:54:55.200> when<00:54:55.320> I<00:54:55.440> think<00:54:55.640> about<00:54:55.840> that,<00:54:56.040> that<00:54:56.120> helps<00:54:56.400> me<00:54:56.520> a<00:54:56.560> lot.

00:54:57.240 --> 00:55:04.000
And<00:54:57.360> there's<00:54:57.520> a<00:54:57.600> lot<00:54:58.000> more<00:54:58.160> evidence<00:54:58.720> for<00:54:59.000> one<00:54:59.240> than<00:54:59.400> the<00:54:59.560> other,<00:54:59.800> which<00:55:00.000> is<00:55:00.120> that<00:55:00.600> consciousness<00:55:01.200> is<00:55:02.280> downloaded<00:55:02.760> by<00:55:02.880> a<00:55:02.920> brain<00:55:03.240> and<00:55:03.360> continues.

00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:08.600
So,<00:55:04.200> that's<00:55:04.520> I'd<00:55:04.640> say<00:55:04.800> something<00:55:05.160> that<00:55:05.280> really<00:55:05.520> keeps<00:55:05.840> me<00:55:05.960> going<00:55:06.600> on<00:55:06.760> some<00:55:06.920> of<00:55:06.960> my<00:55:07.080> griefier<00:55:07.520> days.

00:55:08.600 --> 00:55:16.360
Well<00:55:09.120> well<00:55:09.320> said.<00:55:09.640> And<00:55:09.760> And<00:55:10.120> And<00:55:10.480> all<00:55:10.680> the<00:55:10.800> phenomena<00:55:11.320> that<00:55:11.480> we<00:55:11.600> study<00:55:12.480> that<00:55:12.640> shows<00:55:12.920> that<00:55:13.120> the<00:55:13.240> mind<00:55:13.840> of<00:55:13.920> the<00:55:14.000> consciousness<00:55:14.560> can<00:55:14.760> act<00:55:15.000> independently<00:55:15.720> of<00:55:15.800> the<00:55:15.880> physical

00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:24.680
brain,<00:55:17.280> it<00:55:17.480> lays<00:55:17.760> the<00:55:17.840> groundwork<00:55:18.560> for<00:55:18.720> believing<00:55:19.200> in<00:55:19.320> life<00:55:19.600> after<00:55:19.920> death<00:55:20.240> because<00:55:20.760> that's<00:55:21.000> the<00:55:21.120> only<00:55:21.280> way<00:55:21.400> you<00:55:21.520> can<00:55:22.080> we<00:55:22.200> can<00:55:22.360> survive<00:55:22.920> as<00:55:23.080> if,<00:55:24.120> you<00:55:24.200> know,<00:55:24.320> the<00:55:24.400> brain

00:55:24.680 --> 00:55:29.360
is<00:55:24.840> no<00:55:25.000> more<00:55:25.280> and<00:55:25.360> we<00:55:25.480> still<00:55:25.720> go<00:55:25.960> on.<00:55:26.840> So,<00:55:27.240> thanks<00:55:28.080> uh<00:55:28.200> for<00:55:28.600> being<00:55:28.960> here.
