Speaker 1: [00:00:00] Neurological symptoms are getting worse. I mean, I said one of you, angel slash morons had a clue why?
Speaker 2: [00:00:05] We did a full history. She never mentioned seeing or hearing anything unusual.
Alex Tsakiris: [00:00:10] That’s a clip from that show house that used to be on a few years ago medical show, but this arrogant over the top arrogant doctor who has the answer for everything. And in this case, he’s debunking a woman who sees the spirit of her mother across the room. And I thought, “Wow, what a great example of what a bubble I live in.” I mean, in my bubble, after death, communication is well documented and widely reported. I mean, it’s widely reported in hospice, we know that from people have gone in and worked a hospice, and talk to nurses and doctors, well reported, but it’s also in the medical literature. Like you’ve heard so many times on this show, after death, communication, not at all uncommon, I think if I remember the stat 60%, among couples that have been together for a long, long time, then have lost one or the other. But also just all the other stuff, terminal acidity, of course, near death experience reincarnation research, over and over and over again. Oh, and the medium research, of course, Dr. Julie Brayshaw, The Windbridge Institute, and all the other stuff that we talked about in this show, in my bubble, that is all medical fact, because well, it is medical fact. But I think it’s good to remember that that isn’t mainstream. And even though there’s been progress, most people still identify with the house guy here. And while this seems to be incredibly stuck on stupid kind of position, I also like to take note of the fact that it’s blocking us from a deeper discussion from what I was called the level three discussion. So I have an interview coming up in a minute with Mark Ireland, who 10, 12 years ago wrote the book Soul Shift, which was really an important book about his personal journey into exploring after death communication. And I thought this discussion was really cool, because we got to some places that I think really need to be talked about, and some of them are controversial, even within our community. And I just think it’s interesting to note how these conversations can never happen. Until we get past the ridiculousness of Dr. House. Here’s a clip from my interview with Mark. I did an interview a few months back with Dr. Mark Pitts Dick, who is a colleague of Gary Schwartz, University of Arizona, and they’re working on this project called the Soul Phone, I gave Mark pretty hard time. On the other hand, I don’t discount the possibility that technology is going to play a role in whatever this connection we have is with the extended consciousness realm. And if we understand or think anywhere deeply about near death experience, we see right off the bat that there’s certainly a direct connection between near death experience and resuscitation, which is a medical technology,
Mark Ireland: [00:03:08] I don’t think God needs our help. I think things come together to help people. And maybe a medium will help somebody point they need it or whatever.
Alex Tsakiris: [00:03:17] So that’s just one of the topics we cover in this interview, we kind of go a lot of different places.
