Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
day Impure normal podcast network. Now get ready for another
episode of Shades of the Afterlife with Sandra Champlain. Welcome
to our podcast. Please be aware of the thoughts and
opinions expressed by the host are their thoughts and opinions
only and do not reflect those of I Heart Media,

(00:23):
I Heart Radio, Coast to Coast am employees of premier networks,
or their sponsors and associates. We would like to encourage
you to do your own research and discover the subject
matter for yourself. Hi, I'm Sanders Champlain. For almost twenty

(00:46):
five years, I've been on a journey to prove the
existence of life after death. On each episode will discuss
the reasons we now know that our loved ones have
survived physical death and so will we. Welcome to Shades
of the Afterlife. On our show today, I'd like to
talk about celebrities, movies, and the afterlife. But before we do,

(01:10):
let's do a little experiment about the powers of your soul.
You've probably heard me say it before that we are
all souls having a human experience. One of the workshops
I took years ago was with physicist Russell targ about
an e sp technique called remote viewing. As a kid,

(01:32):
Russell knew things about people that he met, like the
color of their house or what kind of dog they had,
only to find out later that what he saw in
his mind was actually true about the people. He grew
up to be a great physicist and one of the
founding fathers of the laser beam, but has never forgotten

(01:53):
his interest of this extra sensory perception. Have you ever
heard of psychic spies? Back in two the Stanford Research
Institute was formed by Russell. He was the co founder
of this twenty three year, twenty million dollar ESP program

(02:14):
supported by the United States c i A, NASA, the
Defense Intelligence Agency, the U. S. Army, the Air Force, Intelligence,
and other United States government agencies. I'd like to give
you a little taste of remote viewing if you're willing
to play with me. Now. I realize you may be

(02:37):
driving a car while listening to this, or out jogging
or out for walk right now. But if you're at
home or at the office, go get a piece of
paper and a pen or pencil. You've probably heard that
we all have a left brain and a right brain.
Left brain is our logical side, and right brain houses

(02:58):
our creativity and our imagination. While it's a lot more
complex than that. What we want to do is not
use the logical side of our brain, which might be
telling you right now that this experiment is never going
to work. We are going to use our creative side.

(03:19):
In a moment, I'm going to hold something in my hands,
and I want you to pretend that you are the
world's greatest psychic and that you can see into the
bag and details of what's inside it. Now, the key
is in the details. The logical side of your mind
is going to try to figure out what it is.

(03:42):
But we don't want to do that. We want to
look for elements of the object and the bag itself.
Let's use your creative side, shall we. So right now
I've got the bag containing the object in my left hand.
I want you to imagine that you're holding the bag.

(04:05):
See if you can feel with your intuition elements of
the bag. Is it a big bag, a small bag,
paper bag, plastic bag, cloth bag. How does the bag
feel in your hands? Is it light? Is it heavy?
And if you've got paper by your side, go ahead

(04:27):
and write down what you're feeling. Is there a color
to the bag? Perhaps there are some images that come
to mind, and that's okay. You can write them down,
but just try not to use logic and keep your
imagination flowing. And I think it's important to say it's
necessary to be okay with the fact that you might

(04:48):
get this wrong. This is play. Be willing to get
it wrong and do it anyways. Now there is something
inside the bag. As the world's greatest psycho, are there
any colors you see to what's in the bag? Does
it have any surprising elements to it? What is this

(05:10):
object made of? How does it feel in your fingers?
Is there a texture to it? Write it all down
if you can. If you'd like to hit the pause
button and take a few deep breaths and start again,
you can do that. What's in the bag? You ask, Well,

(05:34):
I'll let you know later on in this episode. We're
going to let your imagination and your subconscious do a
little work on it while we have our show today.
If you want to learn more about remote viewing, I
have almost a whole chapter about it in my book
We Don't Die as Skeptics Discovery of Life after Death.

(05:54):
And you can actually get a free copy of it
if you like at my website, which is we don't
I dot com. Scroll down to the bottom. If you
join my email list, it says you'll get the first
few chapters to read. But here's my secret, it's the
entire book. You can also download an app that Russell
Targ created called E s P Trainer and it's pretty cool.

(06:20):
Now onto the show. Do you have a favorite movie
about the afterlife? I sure do. It's called Defending Your
Life with Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, and simply put,
most of the movie takes place in the afterlife. In
the beginning few minutes, we learned that Albert Brooks's character

(06:43):
is all about money and all about looking good. He
ends up getting hit by a bus and is transported
to a place called Judgment City. He finds out he
has to defend his life, almost like being in a courtroom.
He has to prove that while he was on Earth
he overcame fear. And while he's there he gets an attorney.

(07:06):
He meets Meryl Streep's character who's also defending her life,
and it's a romance and a comedy. Here in Judgment City,
though you can eat as much as you want and
not gain weight. The sun is always shining, it's the
perfect temperature, and life is good. When we think about

(07:27):
celebrities in the afterlife, we often think about Shirley McClain,
who has made all kinds of statements about her belief
in the afterlife and her belief in reincarnation and all
kinds of stories. And in this movie, Meryl Streep and
Albert Brooks go out on a date and they go
to this place called the Shirley McClain Past Life Pavilion,

(07:51):
and it's a really funny scene that they each stand
and place their hands on a counter and on the
video screen and to them they get to see who
they were in past lives. Meryl Streep's character was like
the night and shining armor, whereas Albert Brooks's character was

(08:11):
being chased by a lion to be eaten. Wholeheartedly recommend
the movie. Another movie that I remember is Made in
Heaven and had Kelly McGillis and Timothy Hutton, and they
also were two people who met in the afterlife and
came back. Really clever, imaginative movie about things that may

(08:35):
happen in the afterlife. Robin Williams had a movie What
Dreams May Come. Matt Damon appears in a movie called
Here After which he finds out he is a medium
and uncovers some amazing things about the afterlife. There's something
like eight percent of the people on planet Earth that

(08:56):
believe in the afterlife, so it only makes sense that
our writers and movie creators and celebrities believe in the afterlife.
I want to share with you some stories from celebrities
about why they believe in the afterlife. We'll start with
actress Elizabeth Taylor's experience of seeing her husband in a

(09:20):
near death experience in London about thirty years ago. That
I was pronounced dead uh four times. Once I didn't
breathe and I had no vitals for five minutes, and
that was the time that I had the near death experience.
When I had the out of body experience and could
see the people working around me. I tried desperately to

(09:43):
move and eyelid a finger something to let them know
that I could hear them saying, well, I think we've
lost her. I was saying to myself, no, you haven't,
I'm here, but I was like out and then I
sort of floated into this tunnel, and there were other

(10:04):
figures that I recognized, and this welcoming, like son white
sun and warmth, and like being in liquid mercury. It
was like being weightless. And Mike Todd was there and
I wanted to be with him more than anything in

(10:24):
the world. He had been dead about three years and
I was still mourning him. And he said, no, baby,
you can't. It's not your time. You can't come over.
You have to fight to go back. You have to
fight to go back. And I said, but I want
to be with you, and he said, you can't. Now,

(10:45):
I'll be here. You have to fight to go back.
And evidently while this was happening, my hands were like
in this and they tried to unclench my hands. I
was reported dead. It was on the bulletin board when
came out of the whatever it was, I mean, I
wasn't breathing. There were about eleven doctors in the room,

(11:06):
and I told them all what I had experienced, because
I felt like I had to tell somebody so I
wouldn't later on think I was crazy. And then I thought,
that does sound so crazy. I don't think I'm going
to tell anybody else. And for years I didn't say anything,
and then I started reading about other people having the
same kind of experience, they all very slightly. Then I thought,

(11:31):
there's got to be something to it. That's just too
many people who have gone through it. I know I did.
Just because I haven't talked about it doesn't mean that
it wasn't as real as the day had happened. As
we talked about on previous episodes, and near death experience
occurs when somebody is clinically dead, their heart has stopped beating,
and their brain is no longer functioning. A majority of

(11:53):
people who have had near death experiences described this out
of body existence after death, where they feel of nous
with all things. Phrases like my whole life flashed before
my eyes and seeing a tunnel come from decades of
research that began when Dr Raymond Moody coined the phrase
near death experience. Now, celebrities are already rich and famous,

(12:16):
and why would they reveal to the world that they
were dead and they came back to life. They already
have fame and money. In fact, by telling everyone that
they came back from the dead, they may risk their
own reputations. But many celebrities have risked at all to
tell the world about these experiences and hopes of helping

(12:36):
others realize that we go on after death. Elizabeth Taylor
passed into the spirit world on March twenty, two, thousand eleven,
and prior to her death, she wasn't afraid of dying
because she had had that experience. We'll be back in
just a moment. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife

(14:27):
now more. Sandra on the your Heart Radio on Coast
to Coast DAMN Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades

(14:48):
of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain and we're talking about celebrities,
movies and the afterlife. Actress Sharon Stone came very close
to death, suffering a stroke in two thousand in one,
and she has written about it recently. In her book
The Beauty of Living Twice. She said that she was
bleeding into her brain for several days before she was hospitalized,

(15:12):
and in her words, I became unconscious. When I got there.
They put me in a ct scam machine to find
out what was happening to me, and I was unconscious
that whole time. Here's what else, she said. I suddenly
felt everything moving strangely, as if the film of my
life were moving through a camera backward fast. I started

(15:33):
to experience a feeling of falling, and then as though
something were overtaking me body and soul, followed by this tremendous, luminous,
uplifting white out, pulling me right out of my body
and into a familiar, brilliant other body of knowing the
light was luminous, it was so mystical. I wanted to

(15:56):
know it. I wanted to immerse myself. The aces were
not just familiar, they were transcendent. Some of them had
not been gone for long. I had cared for some
of them until the end of this life. They were
my closest friends. Caroline Tony Manuel. I had missed them

(16:17):
so much. I felt so cold in the room I
was coming from. They were so warm, so happy, so welcoming.
Without saying a word, I understood everything they were telling
me about why we are safe and why we should
not be afraid because we are surrounded by love, that

(16:38):
in fact we are love. Suddenly I felt like I
had been kicked in the middle of my chest by
a mule. The impact was so harsh and astoundingly. I
was awake and back in the emergency room. I had
made a choice. I took the kind of gasp you
take when you're underwater far too long. I sat up.

(16:59):
The light was blind ding. All I could see was
dr Handsome standing back observing me. I always love hearing
stories when people's deceased friends and relatives come into the
picture when they have a near death experience. Next, I
want to play a short clip from actress Dela Reese
and to see slove one comes in even though she

(17:22):
didn't die. So listen to this. My daughter wanted to
skinny Dumpy. Wanted the skinny dip because she had heard
so much about skinny dip, and at that the house
that I had before, I didn't have a pool, and
she I wouldn't let her go to a public pool
or somebody's house that I didn't know what skinny dip.
So this particular night, we were gonna skinny dip and
we got in the pool and we're swimming, but we

(17:43):
didn't get any towels, and so once you're in the pool,
the water is warm, but when you step out, it's cold.
I didn't want to catch a cold, so I said,
you stay in the pool and I'll go get some towels. Now,
when I got in the pool, I left the door open,
but skinny dipp mean that she was naked, so she
closed the door. I never saw her close the door,

(18:04):
so when I got out, I walked as if the
door was open and enter the door. I lost seven
points of blood. I only had nine, and uh I
had a thousand stitches. It was a horrendous thing because
what happened was the door did not break in its entirety.
It broke in the center where I hit it, and

(18:27):
my hitting it made me fall over. The jagget edges
of the glass, and there's glass under my hands and
glass under my feet, so there's no traction and I'm
cutting my body and this is gonna be hard for you.
But my mother, who had been dead since nineteen nine,

(18:49):
put her arm around me like this and lifted me
up and the top glass fell. I would have been
guillotined had she not done that. There's lots of stories
of people who say angels came out of nowhere and
saved them, only to disappear. So I really love that
Della saw her mom, and her mom is the one

(19:11):
that saved her life. Next, I want to share with
you just a short story about the bass guitarist Nikki
six from Motley Crewe. He had had a near death experience,
but he kept quiet for years because he was afraid
of being ridiculed. He had overdosed on heroin back in
December and was thought to be dead and beyond help

(19:35):
before an ambulance crewman administered to adrenaline shots into his heart.
Nikki later discussed being able to see what was going
on around his body during the episode, but he admits
that he was very cautious about sharing his story. He said,
I saw things I shouldn't have been able to see.

(19:56):
I saw the hotel hallway, the ambulance, the limo that
was there. I couldn't have seen that because there was
a sheet over me. I kept it to myself for years.
People look at you and they think you're a little
bit crazy. So it is very scary to share your
story with people, whether you're a celebrity or not. And

(20:19):
when people have near death experiences so often some people
can think that it might be the medication or the
drugs that they're taking. But when people have these experiences,
they're completely lucid, clear and have witnessed things that are
going on. Now, this next story I want to tell
you is not from a celebrity. It's actually from a

(20:42):
paramedic from an emergency call. A group of paramedics was
called as a woman had died in her bathtub. Now, unfortunately,
this woman was quite overweight and one of the paramedics
said something very nasty about her size. Now, they were

(21:02):
able to revive the woman and when she came back
to life, she had awoken in the hospital, and after
she had been released home, she made a bee line
to find that paramedic. She actually told him off because
she was able to hear very clearly the description that

(21:25):
he had said about her and her size, And of
course he was shocked because she was dead when he
said it. Now one more story, even though this is
not celebrity but paramedic story. I know a gentleman who
ended up flatlining after a car accident, was put on
an ambulance and being revived. He saw, as he was

(21:49):
floating outside of his body the name tags from the
two paramedics that were working on him. After he came
to and of course he was healed, he went back
to thank the paramedics and he knew them by name
because he had seen them, or his consciousness had seen
them while he was dead. Ozzy Osbourne also reported seeing

(22:12):
a bright light after being pronounced officially dead after a
biking accident. He says, I didn't know where I was
or how long I'd been there. I would drift in
and out of consciousness. Other times there would be a
beautiful white light shining through the darkness, but no effing angels,

(22:33):
no one blowing trumpets, and no man in a white Beard.
Oscar nominated actor Gary Busey had a near death experience
in he flipped over the handlebars on his Harley Davidson
motorcycle at forty miles per hour and smacked his head
hard against the concrete. The actor's skull cracked open, and

(22:56):
he slipped into a one month long coma. While he
was undergoing surgery, Beausey asserts that he saw angels all
around him. They don't look like what they look like
on Christmas cards. Beausey said, they're big balls of light
that float and carry nothing but love and warmth. Actor

(23:17):
Donald Sutherland had about with meningitis in nine that nearly
took his life. He later explained, suddenly the pain, fever
and acute distress seemed to evaporate. I was floating above
my body, surrounded by soft blue light. I began to
glide down a long tunnel away from the bed, but

(23:40):
suddenly I found myself back in my body. The doctors
told me later that I had actually died for a time.
Athletes are also celebrities. And I know a gentleman from
my thirty plus years catering for race car teams who
was a race car driver, and he had the story

(24:01):
that when he was in his twenties, he was in
a terrible car accident. He ended up flatlining, going into
a coma, and was in some really bad shape. But
he said he had had a near death experience. He
explained that he floated out of his body and where
he was made. Our life here seem like just a dream.

(24:26):
It was so clear, and his grandmother and grandfather were there,
and of course they were deceased. He was shown his
mom and dad and brother praying over his hospital bed
and honestly felt like he had the choice whether to
go with his grandmother and grandfather or come back to earth.

(24:48):
He knew the right thing to do was to come
back to earth, and he awoke in his body, which
was extremely painful. There was no pain at all. However,
in the afterlife, this experience caused him to live life differently.
He was no longer afraid of death, so he didn't

(25:09):
need to be afraid of life. In racing, you really
need to put your foot hard on the pedal and
go very fast and take some real risks in order
to win. He was able to do just that, and
he's been a race car champion many times over. I
don't have his permission to give his name, but he's great.

(25:33):
He told me the story years ago, and that message
rang so true for me that if we can really
embrace the reality of life after death, that we don't
need to be afraid of life. Now, I'm not telling
anyone to drive two and twenty miles per hour and

(25:54):
take those kind of risks, But where in our life
can we take a few more risks? Where in our
life have we held ourselves back? What can we do
and accomplish knowing that we can never truly die? We
humans share three fears, the fear of failure, the fear

(26:16):
of being alone, and the fear of dying. The good
news is we don't die. We have loved ones surrounding us,
whether we can see them or not, and all we
experience here in life is education for the soul, so
there is no failure. We'll be back in just a minute.

(28:34):
I'm Sander Champlain and we're talking celebrities, the afterlife and movies.
At the beginning of the show today we did a
little exercise called remote viewing. How are you doing? Have
you come up with any other details or descriptions about
what was in the bag. Now. I'm not going to
tell you what it is just yet, but here's a hint.

(28:57):
If your soul picked up at the bag is made
of paper, and that the item inside is lightweight, and
you saw the color green, you would be correct. Before
the break, we talked about the three fears that humans share,
the fear of dying, the fear of being alone, and
the fear of failure. I want to play for you

(29:19):
now Steve jobs commencement speech from two thousand five, where
he did the address for the graduating class at Stanford University.
He passed in two thousand and eleven, and after I
play this clip, I want to share with you what
his final words were before he died. My third story,

(29:43):
it's about death. When I was seventeen, I read a
quote that went something like, if you live each day
as if it was your last, someday, you'll most certainly
be right. It made an impression on me, and since then,
for the past thirty three years, I've looked in the
mirror every morning and asked myself, if today we're the

(30:05):
last day of my life, what I want to do?
What I am about to do today, and whenever the
answer has been no for too many days in a row,
I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll
be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever
encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear

(30:29):
of embarrassment or failure, These things just fall away in
the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best
way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you
have something to lose. You are already naked. There is
no reason not to follow your heart. About a year ago,

(30:51):
I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at
seven thirty in the morning, and it clearly showed a
tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a
pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly
a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I
should expect to live no longer than three to six months.

(31:11):
My doctor advised me to go home and get my
affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die.
It means to try and tell your kids everything you
thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them
in just a few months. It means to make sure
everything is buttoned up so it will be as easy
as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

(31:37):
I live with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening,
I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down
my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put
a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells
from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who
was there, told me that when they viewed the cells
under a microscope, the doctor started crying because it turned

(32:00):
doubt to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer
that is curable with surgery. I have the surgery, and
thankfully I'm fine now. M h. This was the closest
I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the

(32:20):
closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived
through it, I can now say this to you with
a bit more certainty than when death was a useful
but purely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even
people who want to go to Heaven don't want to
die to get there, and yet death is the destination

(32:40):
we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and
that is as it should be, because death is very
likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent.
It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too
long from now, you will gradually become the old and

(33:02):
be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's
quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it
living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which
is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't
let the noise of others opinions drowned out your own
inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow

(33:25):
your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you
truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Pretty inspiring words.
Six years later, Steve Jobs did make his transition into
the afterlife, but in his final moments, he looked at
his sister Patty. Then he looked for a long time

(33:47):
at his children, then at his partner Loreen, and then
he looked over their shoulders, past them. Steve jobs final words,
looking over their shoulders was oh wow, oh wow, oh wow.
The great inventor Thomas Edison also had some pretty profound

(34:10):
last words. He said, it's very beautiful over there. He
whispered that to his doctor before he passed. Now, those
people who knew Thomas well stated that he never ever
said anything unless he knew it to be true. No
one dies alone, and there are tons of stories of

(34:31):
people who have had loved ones helping them cross over
to the other side. They're called deathbed visitations. Author Truman
Capote's last words were, Mama, Mama, Mama. Marilyn Monroe passed
thirty seven years prior to her husband Joe DiMaggio, but

(34:51):
on his deathbed, he whispered to his lawyer, I finally
get to see Marylyn. Here's actress James c More explaining
her experience. What happened with me is I had anaphylactic shocks,
so my whole body just shut down. And before it happened,
I I realized something had happened, and my throat closed up,

(35:14):
and I could feel my my heartbeat was going way
too fast, and then suddenly it was silent. And when
it was silent, um, I just saw this white light
and I was completely peaceful, you know, no stress, no
no pain, no noise, nothing, just this white light. And
then I kind of looked down, I remember, and I
could see me lying on this bed, half naked, with

(35:36):
this guy screaming and yelling in Spanish for emergency and
putting huge syringes in my butt, and I'm looking thinking
that's me. And it was so weird, but I didn't
freak me out. But I looked again at the white
light and I just said, whoever, whatever, I just I
want to get back in that body. I have things
I need to do. And the funny thing is that

(35:57):
all I cared about was raising my children and um
and making a difference. I felt I hadn't lived enough yet,
and so once they gave the antidote, and of course
I was then alive again, they shocked me back into life. Um.
I remember that there's only two things I would have
taken with me or left behind anyway you like to
look at it, and that is the love I'd shared

(36:19):
in my life, whether it's been for a moment or
a lifetime, and the difference I've made, so it made
life very simple. I came back and I was impatient
to live life and to and absolutely wanted to avoid
any nonsense, manipulation, phony, nurse, um, any of that. You know.
I just didn't have time for it anymore. Actor Clint Walker,

(36:42):
very famous for playing cowboys in westerns, tells this experience
after a ski pole punctured his heart to heart. Two doctors.
When they got me down, the bishop pronounced me dead,
and I was out of body, and I was in
that spirit body here, you know, and they tell us

(37:06):
we have two bodies of what we really do, and
that spirit body has got this and be all the heck,
you're more alive, more alert, more aware. Uh the suddenly
no things you never knew before. Uh. And that spirit
body there's no aches and pains, I mean, very comfortable.

(37:30):
But I realized that I wouldn't, you know, particularly all
that concerned about going back. And then I thought, but
you know, there's something that I came came to Earth
to do and I haven't done it. I got to
go back take another crack at it. And don't ask

(37:51):
me what that was, because I don't know. Maybe it's
the things that I'm doing now. I don't know, but
I said, God, I'm uh, I need your help. I
want to go back and take a loving right at it.
Dr ken Ring did a lot of research and some
commonalities with near death experiences. In most cases, when people

(38:12):
came closest to death or were clinically dead, they felt
like they moved through a void or a dark tunnel,
and they feel this luminous light and a feeling of
unconditional love. Many experience it so beautiful that they longed
to remain there and not go back to their earthly life. Now.
No type of person was especially likely to have near

(38:35):
death experiences. It didn't matter race, gender, age, education, even
religious orientation didn't make a difference. An atheist is as
likely to have a near death experience as a devoutly
religious person. Doctor Ring also says that drugs, anesthesia, and
medication didn't seem to be a factor. He concluded that

(38:59):
n d E they're not hallucinations because hallucinations are rambling, unconnected,
often unintelligible, and they vary widely, and end ease tend
to have a very similar and very clear connected pattern.
Based on the information of those who had reported such incidents,
the moment of death was often one of unparalleled beauty,

(39:23):
peace and comfort, feeling total love, and total acceptance. This
was possible even for those who are involved in horrible
accidents and the ones that suffered very serious injuries. This
is very comforting if someone is suffering and is facing
death that there is no pain involved. After going through
a near death experience, people report a loss of the

(39:46):
fear of death, as well as a greater appreciation of life.
They also report stronger feelings of self acceptance and a
greater concern and sense for caring for other people. They
have less interest in material real things. Many tend to
become more spiritual, although not necessarily in a religion. Almost

(40:07):
all people who experienced a near death experience find their
lives transformed and experience to change in their attitudes and values,
as well as their inclination to love and help others.
We'll be back after the break to talk afterlife movies
and answer the question what was in the green bag?

(40:28):
You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the I
Heart Radio and Coast Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. Don't
go Anywhere, there's more Shades of the Afterlife coming right up.

Afterlife with Sandra Champlain. Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife.

(42:59):
I'm Sandra Champlain. Celebrities are human beings, just like you
and I, but they are recognized by many for their
contributions in life. But just like you and I, they
have their fears and their questions. Young Medium Tyler Henry
is the subject of the television show Hollywood Medium, where

(43:19):
he delivers messages to Hollywood celebrities from their loved ones
in the afterlife on every episode. I know several mediums,
and although I cannot divulge personal information, I can tell
you that some of the biggest actors, musicians, and members
of several countries royal families believe in the afterlife and

(43:43):
consult mediums. So let's talk movies. I've already mentioned my favorite,
Defending Your Life, which is always good to watch if
you need a good laugh and some inspiration. Here are
some others. Heaven Is for Real. This is a story
of a young four year old boy who goes through

(44:03):
a near death medical emergency and recount stories about meeting Jesus,
his unborn sister, and others. This is a true story
from a book, and I clearly remember the scene where
the little boy recognizes his grandfather and a photo album. However,
he never met his grandfather in life, but he met

(44:24):
him in the afterlife. What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams.
After he dies in a car crash, a man searches
heaven and Hell for his beloved wife. Although I personally
think hell is right here on earth and don't believe
we'll find it in the afterlife. Some of the movie
magic and special effects of what Heaven looks Like are magnificent.

(44:50):
Ghost I'm sure you remember this with Demi Moore, Patrick Swayzy,
and Whoopie Goldberg. I think we've probably all have seen it.
After a young may And has murdered, his spirit stays
behind to warn his lover of impending danger with the
help of a reluctant psychic. It's really a good movie
and very thought provoking. It's a wonderful life with Jimmy

(45:15):
Stewart who plays a suicidal man who gets to see
life anew with some help from a guardian angel. There's
a movie that you may not have heard of called
Astral City, and it's in subtitles for those of us
who don't speak Portuguese. Made in Brazil, it's based on

(45:35):
the best selling book by medium Chico Xavier and the
film tells a story of a successful doctor who experiences
a spiritual awakening after his death. And the movie is
really thought provoking. It's got magnificent art direction and special
effects of what life is like on the other side

(45:56):
and how we try to communicate with those left behind
on Earth. The movie hereafter I had mentioned briefly. Matt
Damon stars and it's directed by Clint Eastwood. The lives
of a psychic of French tsunami survivor and a London
schoolboy intersect their lives forever changed by what they might

(46:17):
or must believe in, which is the existence of the hereafter.
There's a movie with Holly Hunter called Always, directed by
Steven Spielberg. It's a romance, a fantasy about a dead
firefighter pilot who returns to make sure all is well
for his successor and for his devastated girlfriend. There's some

(46:39):
fun ones Beetlejuice, The Sixth Cents, Flatliners, Chances are Made
in Heaven, Disney's Coco, also Disney's new movie called Soul.
There's a movie called Spirited Away, and there's also a

(47:03):
funny one with Ricky Gervais called ghost Town. He stars
as Bertram Pinkus, who is a dentist who dies for
seven minutes while undergoing an operation, and he's brought back
to life. The problem when he returns is that he
can now see spirits everywhere who want him to deliver
messages to their loved ones who are left still on earth,

(47:24):
and he does not want any part of it. Now.
The movie White Noise is a horror film, and while
I'm not recommending you watch it, I wanted to tell
you a story about it. Personally, I don't like scary movies.
Believe it or not, this movie did something phenomenal to
help people learn about electronic voice phenomena also known as

(47:46):
e v P, which is using voice recorders to capture
sounds of white noise, and then when you play back
the recording, often there are words from loved ones who
are in the afterlife that may appear. Tom and Lisa Butler,
who are the presidents of the a trans c dot Org,
which is the Association of trans Communication. We're asked by

(48:10):
Universal Studios to train them and what e vps are
and how to record them. They had no idea that
they were creating a horror movie called White Noise, where
in truth, only messages of love and sometimes humor come
through on these recordings, not the scary messages like it
shows in the movie. While they weren't pleased that it

(48:32):
ended up being a horror film, what it did is
it had hundreds of thousands of people around the world
begin to research if electronic voice phenomena e vps are real,
and many people, including myself have received and captured messages
from loved ones in the afterlife that we have recorded.

(48:53):
I know there are many more movies that touch on
the afterlife and you probably know some that I don't know.
If you'd like to let me know what your favorite
afterlife movies or movie is. There's a chat box under
this episode if you're listening on I Heart radio dot
com and to find it, just go to I Heart

(49:13):
or I Heart radio dot com. Both will get you there.
Do a search for Shades of the Afterlife, and just
beneath you will see the chat box. Feel free to
share your favorite afterlife movies. Although Ghostbusters isn't a movie
about the afterlife, really, the writer in one of the
actors of the film, Dan Ackroyd, believes in the afterlife.

(49:37):
Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did too. Both
of these stories I explored on episode seventeen of Shades
of the Afterlife, and you can even hear clips of
them talking about why they believe in the afterlife. Now
I've kept you waiting long enough to find out what's

(49:57):
in the bag from our remo viewing exercise. Are you
ready to learn? If you want to review what you
wrote down or review what you thought about, you can
do that right now. As I asked you to imagine
you were holding the bag and is it light? Is
it heavy. Do you see any unique elements of what's
inside the bag? All those sorts of things. Our minds,

(50:21):
and I'm not talking about our brains, but I'm talking
about our minds that are connected to the big picture,
that are connected to all of it, are extremely intelligent.
You may or you may not have some elements that
you saw of what I actually have over here. If
this is your first time doing it and you don't
get it right, please don't be discouraged. When I took

(50:44):
a course on remote viewing, there are sixty students in
the class, and by the end of the weekend, absolutely
everyone could do it. So it really takes you being
okay with being wrong, setting that logical brain out of
the picture for a little sile, using your creativity, your imagination,

(51:04):
and are you ready? So let's start out with the bag.
It is about a foot tall and maybe just less
than a foot wide and probably I would say four
inches deep. It is a green bag, and it has
pictures of tulips, the flower tulips on the front of it.
The tulips are red and yellow. There's also a gift

(51:25):
tag that says smile. There are polka dots on the
outside of the bag and on the inside of the
bag it is white, so that is the bag. There's
also some kind of curly queue drawing on it, maybe calligraphy.
I have a picture of the bag and the contents

(51:47):
back at that I heart radio dot com chat box.
So if you can find your way back there, I
heart dot com Shades of the Afterlife, look in the
chat box and I will have picture errs of the
bag and the content. Now, what was in the bag? Well,
it is my friend Kermit the Frog. Yes, from the Muppets,

(52:10):
Kermit the Frog, and Kermit here is about sixteen to
eighteen inches long. He's very very light. He's got a
red mouth and green hands, green legs. He's green with
his white eyes and black pupils. And he's got a

(52:31):
tag on him that's got some words, says Kermit. There's
a picture of the other Muppets. It says Muppets on it.
It says Disney. And there's a lot of writing. So
if you were to see green, if you were to
see eyes, if you were to see hands or webbed
feet or anything that reminded you of Disney, you would

(52:52):
be correct. Did you find that anything that you thought
of is closely related to this, remote viewing is something
you can definitely practice on your own. I want to
remind you that you can get a free copy of
my book where I describe remote viewing in detail and

(53:13):
how to do it whether you're doing it with your
partner or doing it by yourself. And if you go
to We Don't Die dot com, scroll down join my
email list called the Insiders Club, and it says get
a free few chapters of my book, when in truth
it's the whole book, and you can search for remote
viewing and find it there. If you find a magazine

(53:36):
somewhere in your house, preferably one that you haven't looked at,
you can do this remote viewing exercise on your own
by simply holding that intention of what are some of
the images that are in the magazine. The world of
remote viewing is a fascinating thing to research, and one
of the reasons I'm so passionate about it is when

(53:57):
you can have an experience of knowing something you shouldn't know,
or you've been able to see some elements of what
I had hidden in this bag, you will realize you're
not just your body and your brain. You are of
being so much more intelligent, and this being your etheric
self is perfect, whole and complete. It doesn't matter what

(54:21):
ailments you have or what struggles you have in life.
The etheric body, which is the real you, is the
one that you take with you to the afterlife. Perfect health,
perfect weight, perfect vision, perfect age. This is a great
exercise to do with other people, whether you're on the
phone with them or on zoom with them, or somebody

(54:44):
that is with you in your house. But again I
urge you to follow the instructions because I rushed it
a little bit here today. So in closing, my name
is Sandra Champlaine. A big time thank you for listening today.
