Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Sense of Soul podcast. We are your hosts, Shanna and Mandy. Grab your coffee, open your mind, heart, and soul. It's time to awaken. Today we have with us Carol Obley with Soul Visions. She is the author of four amazing books on mediumship and healing. She has also published many articles on spiritual and metaphysical subjects and has taught numerous classes on intuition and mediumship and healing. We're super excited to have her today to talk about her new book, Wisdom from the Spirit World, Teachings on Love, Forgiveness, Purpose, and Finding Peace. Welcome, Carol. Thank you so much for having me.
Starting point is 00:00:47 My pleasure. Yes, thank you for taking time to talk to us. Carol, I just wanted to tell you that I read your book for the last two days, and I told Shanna this morning that everybody that we know has to have this book in their hands. Oh my gosh, I'm humbled. Thank you so much. It was amazing. I actually feel like I need to read it again and again, and I need to keep it bedside. It's full of wisdom, experience,
Starting point is 00:01:19 genuineness, authenticity, amazing stories. I mean, it's such a beautiful book thank you for writing this thank you so much I'm very humbled by that I really felt just to speak for a moment to why I wrote on this topic as far as the lessons that people in spirit that I've gleaned from many thousands of sessions I woke up one day and it came to me, this is what you need to write about. There was five years in between my third book and this one. And I knew I was going to write another book, but I had no idea. I thought I've said everything I can say about mediumship. And approximately two years ago, I woke up in the morning and boom,
Starting point is 00:02:03 there it was, you know how that stuff happens. And just right in my mind, this is what you need to write about. You need to get this through to help people understand what is sort of an elevated perspective of life. What do those in spirit have to teach us about our values, about what really matters in life, about challenges that we have in life. And that seemed to be very compelling that I needed to communicate that. Well, as you may know, things don't always come together, you know, just as we plan. I always say, you know, if you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
Starting point is 00:02:45 But anyway, that's really what the essence is. It's about the middle section of the book is the bulk of the book talking about synopsis of lessons that have been communicated through numerous mediumistic sessions that I've done. And the third section, I wrote that to help people as sort of a guide. We can only look to teachers and mediums as guides because we have to discover the truth of spirit, meaning the God energy within ourselves. It's a very personal journey. I'm very honest in all my writings. I'm very genuine and very honest about what I've gone through, what has helped me, the value of mindfulness, the value of knowing that I don't have to get rid of my personality. I can use that, merge it with my soul's calling and offer a unique
Starting point is 00:03:41 contribution to the world. And so I really wanted to help people understand that and how they can do that in their own life. Well, you definitely did a great job. Thank you. And it was so much more than that too. I mean, you put in references for people that read your book, you know, like The Course in Miracles. you put in beautiful quotes at the top of the chapters, you put in raw, authentic experiences that you went through, like your grandmother's funeral, you put in, put in a meditation for people. I mean, it's just full of so much different things that are helpful to people. And also I have to say that I felt nothing but love when I was reading your book. Well, yeah, and that's not, that's definitely not coming from the little me,
Starting point is 00:04:32 you know, that's coming from spirit. And I always, always say that humility is so important when we're doing healing work for others, when we're being a conduit, whether it's with hands-on healing, speaking mediumship, counseling, anything that involves bringing some sort of healing to other people. Humility is very necessary because we know that we don't create from the personality. We create from that higher self, But we can put our unique spin on that, our unique signature through our personality. So one of my spins is to be very real. I struggle with things just like anybody else. I think sometimes there are some people who think, well, you know, somebody who's a medium or a healer or whatever, they have it all figured out. They don't struggle with everyday things. They don't have anxiety or they don't feel down, you know, certain days.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I have transformed so significantly from doing this work, but there's been many, many stumbling blocks along the way. The first person to admit that, Sun Sign Capricorn, very practically oriented as well. We all go through this. This is what we have as sort of the human challenge, especially now, especially now in the collective consciousness, what we're going through with this massive reset, massive transformation, a lot of anger out there. I'm hoping that people can use anger in a productive way. All of the emotions, some of them that we consider negative, you can't just dismiss that stuff. You really have to validate it and walk through it. And also use it as a motivating
Starting point is 00:06:26 factor for self-improvement. Yeah, absolutely. I loved how you said in your book that, you know, it's not a bed of roses. And you said, we will discover that troubling events are instrumental to our personal growth and our spiritual evolution and really helping people understand that hardships and trauma are actually a good thing. Some people just seriously walk around blind and aren't even aware of the things that are happening in this world, let alone the spiritual world. Yeah, you're 100% correct on that. And you're seeing a lot of that. We're all seeing a lot of that now. You know, when there are collective events like we've had the human being, you can see how the collective energies have been in this need to really transform. That's what has been going on since January, actually, with Pluto and Saturn colliding and conjuncting.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Saturn representing structures, usually time-worn structures here on the Earth plane, Pluto being the great purifier and the awakener. So what we're seeing is this opportunity, and I stress that word opportunity, for humankind to awaken to our collective humanity and also how we're going to proceed and how we're going to bring healing to this planet. We don't have another planet. This is our home. Yeah. And I marvel at the element of divine timing, because when I was writing this book, and certainly when I got the inspiration for it, COVID was unheard of, you know, the virus and, you know, the political upheaval that we're having as well. That wasn't really existed. I mean, it was, you know, the political stuff was going on somewhat back then, but it's so much more intensified now. So I marvel at Spirit
Starting point is 00:08:48 saying this is the right time. And there's many other books out there too. It's not just me, but many other authors writing and probably also intuitively impressed to write for something that's going to contribute to this opportunity for awakening at this time. I agree. It's amazing. I think that we're just so busy and it forced everybody just to stop. Mm-hmm. And go within. Yeah. We're shifting into Aquarius, which we're kind of also shifting into more of a feminine energy. So learning how to find that divine balance within each one of us of the masculine and feminine energy. Do you agree with that? I do. Of course, every human being has both masculine, feminine energies within it. That's regardless of our
Starting point is 00:09:40 gender, our physical gender. Absolutely. I feel that the feminine, the divine feminine, let's just call it that, is becoming more evident. And yes, it's a massive shift. There's a lot of resistance to that. I am also aware that the Ascended Masters, the Angelic Kingdom, our own spirit guides, those souls who help us on our individual pathways are assisting us at this time i also think back to the the other cataclysmic event and that was 9-1-1 in new york city with the twin towers the angelic kingdom was very busy at that time so we're going through this collective shifting currently, and that begins with the individual. It begins within each person. Michael Jackson did that song, Man in the Mirror.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. That's where we need to begin. I think that we have the opportunity right now, too. I don't know about you, but Mandy and I, most of our followers, most of the people who are the most curious, we have kids from what, five to 23. So they all are such empaths. They are such little environmentalists and for justice and they're all out there protesting. Yeah, it's amazing. I just, I have so much hope for the future. Just these little beings that came in who are so sensitive and so open. Yeah, you know, that's interesting too, because I've been doing professional mediumship about 25 years. And
Starting point is 00:11:17 in that time, I have read over the course of years, I've read for a lot of the younger people's, their parents or their grandparents. Sometimes I've done sessions in which the parent will bring the child who's a minor, you know, maybe a, you know, a younger child, maybe 10 years old, a preteen to the session and say, you know, would you please talk to them? Because they're seeing, you know, deceased people, they're seeing beings that aren't here physically and they're scared. Can you talk to them? So I recognize that those children or young people are from that generation of, sometimes they were called crystalline children, the indigo children, and they are very aware. They're more sensitive kids, souls, and some of them have not
Starting point is 00:12:07 been in body for a very long time. They come back though. They seem to be on the accelerated pathway and they know what their spiritual purpose is. They know what their mission is. Speaking of purpose, let's back up for a moment if you don't mind, how was it that you stumbled across your purpose? Well, in my other books, I've written very honestly and genuinely about, I had a fire. I was running a business and overnight the fire took out my business. For about a year, I was left directionless. I had no clue what I was going to do with my life. I was in my mid-30s at this point. I got a phone call from a friend asking me to come to a metaphysical center in a small town near where I live. And I resisted that.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And then she called back again. And I said, okay, I'll get ready and come down there begrudgingly. And I went, and I instantly felt at home. And I started taking many, many classes. I started with Reiki. It's the Japanese modality of hands-on healing. I studied spiritual healing. I volunteered for a good decade of doing spiritual healing six times a month.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And then I went to a place called Delphi and that's near Atlanta, Georgia. So I instantly went on to this accelerated pathway. Now I firmly know that I've done this in other lifetimes. I've actually had bleed throughs where I've seen myself in other lifetimes, specifically in Egypt, doing this type of work. So it was just a matter of remembering it. And once we become connected, and this is for everybody, all of your listeners and anyone who's tuning in, things become very effortless when you open doors. That's how you know that intuitively you're being led there by the calling of your own soul. If you have to constantly fight an uphill battle and you feel very drained at the end of the day from work that you're doing or you don't feel connected
Starting point is 00:14:17 to it, that's a sign that that's really that you need to shift. You need to get into something else. I always tell people, don't do anything for money. Do it because you love it. Money will follow that, but the service is really what matters. If your heart is in it, that's a sign that that's your calling. That's what you need to be doing. But yeah, finding purpose is simply what brings you joy? What could you do all day long without even being paid for it? That's a sign that you're connected with your soul's calling. What is the purpose of the soul? Are we evolving? The soul is simply the eternal, immortal spark or light or energy of the great oneness which is i call with a capital s spirit that's what most people call contains the pure essence of the God
Starting point is 00:15:30 frequency or the divine energy. And it knows only, it knows nothing about time. It doesn't know anything about suffering. That's all ego. That's all personality. So in no way am I demeaning or speaking of ego in a negative sense. It is not negative. It is very necessary to navigate here on the physical plane, having an ego. But the soul knows nothing about time. It knows nothing about suffering. It knows only expression of the divine essence within it. So therefore, really, anything that you do, sitting here right now, wherever you're at, and where I'm at, we are currently meeting purpose. Because purpose, really, if you take away all the fluff, purpose is the expression of the divine essence within. That's what it really means.
Starting point is 00:16:30 The most common question I've been asked in many, many sessions is, what is my purpose in life? And generally, people are speaking to, what am I supposed to be doing for a living? That's part of purpose, but that's not the purpose of the soul. The soul wants you to express itself, whatever that might mean, whatever qualities you have. And guaranteed, you're going to have different qualities you're going to express than I do, and vice versa, and every human being. So it really depends on the soul pod or the soul ray they're called those are just kind of individuated essences of the one essence if you will i don't want to get real esoteric with this yeah sure but this is what i think like more
Starting point is 00:17:17 like a soul family when you say soul pod is that yes and those are souls who share a similar spiritual consciousness. And some of those are here on the earth plane and some of them are in the spirit world. Because remember that we exist, we don't cease existing ever, ever. And that's the one message that, you know, countless thousands of people that I've spoken to, that's the one thing that they need to know is we don't die. You know, we are constantly evolving. We are constantly becoming and uncovering the light of the soul in every second. That's what we're doing. Hopefully, I mean, we can learn the hard way too. But even learning the hard way, you're still in a roundabout way, I mean, we can learn the hard way too, but even learning the hard way, you're still in a roundabout way, you know, uncovering the soul.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Yeah. You know, you talk about in your book that you don't believe in afterlife. You know, there is afterlife. Can you explain that? Yes. And thank you so much for bringing that out because I've made that statement many times. To me, a belief is an idea that you hope is true or that you think with your rational mind is true. And it could be true and it could not be true in external reality. The reason I use the
Starting point is 00:18:46 word no, I know, is because I know in my heart, because I've had direct evidence of it. I have seen it through many, many, many sessions. And not only through sessions, not only through being a medium, but in my own life, because I've had many paranormal experiences. You know, things I've seen, ectoplasm, you know, the spirit emanation. Like I've had dream visitations from my own grandmother. I've had, I've seen, you know, spirit phenomena. I've had many different things happen. And I'm not off my rocker.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I'm a very grounded person, you know, as being a sunshine Capricorn. I'm very earthly, you know, with a lot of things. But I know it because I've directly experienced it. And that's the distinction to me. My God, Mandy and I are both earthly too. We're both tourists. So a little start oh no wonder you feel familiar because that's in my past south node in my chart in my astrological chart the south node by the way for listeners it is a mathematically calculated thing it's not like a physical thing like the planets but it's based on the placement of your natal moon where the moon was the minute you were born. And the soft node represents past lives. It's sort of a collective indication of who you've been and what you've done in past life.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I don't like to use terms that people might not be familiar with. So that's why I find that. But I might have known you two before. I have a feeling I did. You are speaking my language, maybe even the exact same words. It's so incredible. And well, and Shanna, do you remember when she first came across our email and you saw a picture of her? You were like, I know her. I did. I showed everyone your picture and I was like, I know this lady, don't I? Yep. The thing is, whenever, and I'm sure a lot of your audience has had the experience of when you meet somebody and there's that spark between you.
Starting point is 00:20:54 And I'm not talking romantically. I'm talking, you know, a spark of attraction to the soul. And you can feel it. Sometimes you can look into the eyes. The eyes are the way they truly are the window to the soul. And you can feel it. Sometimes you can look into the eyes, the eyes are the way they truly are the window to the soul. And sometimes it's just a couple of words, the person will say, and you're like, wow, you know, I know that I've had that happen. And I'm sure many of your audience has had that happen. That doesn't necessarily mean we've been with those people before, but there's some resonance, meaning like energy, that we're
Starting point is 00:21:27 feeling within that other person. It's kind of that thing that it kind of, it jives with us, it clicks with us. I wanted to share this too. We've talked a lot so far about past lives. In the first section of Wisdom from the Spirit World, I write extensively about these things called the Akashic files. And they're also called the Akashic records. Edgar Cayce, the famous American psychic who did his readings during the 1920s and 1930s, called it the book of remembrance and or the book of life. So what these things are, are energetic records or files of everything that each soul has done since the beginning of time. Now, there's also a collective one for humanity. There's also one for the earth. And accessing those files and blueprints, which I've written extensively about in my other books, which are plans that we make before we come here.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Those are also contained within the files. And by the way, I have a webinar coming up and it's two hours. I'm going to be teaching the Akashic files. Oh my gosh, sign me up. Yeah. Well, let me tell you how you can sign up. And this might be for listeners too. And the tuition is very affordable it's only $27 this will help people get deeper and more profound information from their own soul if you go to my facebook it's facebook.com slash soul medium s OU L plus the word medium it's all one thing facebook.com slash soul medium. The link is on there for the Akashic files. I believe it's on the 22nd. It's going to be a good one. I started
Starting point is 00:23:14 discovering that not only could I read the Akashic for people, and that started happening many, many years ago, just spontaneously, but also I would lead people into accessing, you know, through teaching. They can access their own files. Love to have you two in the class. I'm sure you'll raise the vibration. Yeah. Yeah. It'll be through Zoom. But the point that I really wanted to make here was that these things are real and they travel with us from lifetime to lifetime. Right now, all of us are sitting here. We're adding to our files as we speak. And the files are never deleted. If you think of a giant tape recorder, that's what the Akashic files are.
Starting point is 00:23:56 These are actually stored with the consciousness of each soul. Are you actually teaching people how to access them for themselves? So you're going to like walk them through? Yeah, what I'll do is be giving some theory. I'll be doing teaching in the beginning. And I specifically, I'll be talking about how Edgar Cayce used the most famous prolific, truly, truly genuine medium, in my opinion, in our modern time. Unfortunately, he did not take good care of himself at all. He did not have good boundaries and so forth. He actually passed at a little bit younger age. But in any event, I'll be teaching about that. And I'll be teaching about the value of accessing the files, what they really are, how we can be specific. And I'll give people a few
Starting point is 00:24:45 moments to write down what they want to do, because I'm going to lead a guided meditation through the webinar. We're going to go to the Akashic Library in the spirit world. We're going to go in and get our own personal unique book. And we're going to access something that has been challenging to us, what the roots of that might be. Maybe if we have some relationship skills that we need to look at, or we've had issues within relationships, our talents. This is not just negative stuff. It can be positive things as well. And there'll be question and answer period there as well at the end. That's wonderful. There's so much in your
Starting point is 00:25:25 book to go on and on. Your book has so much amazing substance. But there was one thing that stuck out to me. And it was when you said one of the most significant things you learned is no soul is lost. Can you explain that? Well, yes, because some religions teach that, for example, if someone were to commit suicide, and yes, I've done a fair number of readings in which the receiver of the reading wants to connect with someone who's committed suicide. Of course, I don't know that beforehand. I don't ask questions before reading. A legitimate medium shouldn't. But when they come through, and sometimes it's like yanking teeth to get those souls to come through, they talk about how they had to undergo a lot of counseling on the other side. They're certainly
Starting point is 00:26:09 not condemned to hell or anything like that. What happens is, and this is something I'm personally saying, we have to have the intent within ourselves that when we cross over, if we didn't have a not so nice life, if we were a bad person, if we, you know, had unresolved issues, if we had addictions or any of that, or all of it, we don't just immediately ascend to a nice fluffy place. We go to that place that matches our level of consciousness. We can get out of that by undergoing transformation. But that has to come through the gift of free will. Free will is always operating regardless of what dimension we're in. It's always present. It is a gift from God. And it has to come from within that individual. And there are many who stay stuck,
Starting point is 00:27:00 I will tell you, in the lower realms of the spirit world. It's not hell like religion is taught, you know, with fire and brimstone and all of that. It's simply very dark realms. They're very depressing. The souls are stuck in their own limited thought forms there because they have not expressed the desire and the will to release those. The minute that they do, that's when they're liberated from that and undergo spiritual transformation. So no soul is cast away. And I think religion has really done a disservice to people because personally, a lot of religious teachings, and I don't mean to be negative on religion at all. I don't want anyone to walk away from the interview thinking that because religion serves a purpose.
Starting point is 00:27:51 It definitely does. And there's a lot of beauty in organized religion. But I think that there are some teachings of it that really instill fear in people. And I have learned through many years of doing this, that there is nothing to fear, except, you know, like the old saying, it's fear itself. Because we create that from within our own mind, from our ego. The ego is based in fear. Now, it does many other wonderful things, you know, it enables us to communicate and balance our checkbook and think rationally and logically. But the ego is very different. They're very different reality than the soul. The soul does not perish. It is not tarnished. There's one of the lessons in the book
Starting point is 00:28:41 that the title of the chapter is, our woundsounds Do Not Diminish the Light Within. Yeah, I loved that chapter. And the wounds are the challenges we go through. Some people have had terrible things happen to them, abuse. You know, somebody within the family was murdered. They've lost a child. There's been overdoses. There's addiction. You name it. What people need to really understand is that does not limit or define you in any way unless you give it permission to do that. Yeah. Let me ask you, do you feel like we agree to these sufferings and struggles in our soul contracts prior to birth? We agree to the lesson. We agree to the experience. How we handle it, what we do with it is a matter of free will.
Starting point is 00:29:36 There are qualities that we, when we're making, now I'm speaking now on a soul level. This is not like, you know, a rational level where you and I are sitting here talking about stuff. This is on a soul level. This is not like, you know, a rational level where you and I are sitting here talking about stuff. This is on a much higher level. The soul knows intuitively what it needs more experience of expressing. Let's take a quality, say, for example, compassion. Now, I sign up for that. I need to have lessons in compassion. So I could say, you know, I really need some tough lessons in compassion, so I'm really going to get it. I could agree to come in through parents who really absolutely abuse me and, you know, horrifically. And it's my choice what I'm going to do with that. Am I going to end up an abuser myself or am I going to walk that pathway of healing? And then when I'm healed, I can demonstrate compassion to other people that have gone through similar circumstances.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Am I going to agree to learn compassion through running an animal rescue place? It may be working with children, maybe working with the elderly. So we have the lesson, the core lesson, but I really have seen that it's up to us what we do with it and how we really want to experience it. Agreed. I thought it was beautiful in your book talking about what happens before birth, how if there's a loved one that has passed right before, say, someone in the family is born, they might, you know, have a relationship prior. My dad died right before my little brother's son, his first son was born. And, you know, he named, we named him after, I say
Starting point is 00:31:27 we, like I was involved in my brother's naming of his child, but he named him after my dad. Pre-birth relationships that you talk about. Yeah. Soul agreements. I kind of go away from the words like contract and stuff like that, because I think people then get into thinking that it's this hard and fast thing that, you know, you can't, I know that other mediums call them contracts, but I call them agreements because they're a two-way street, right? Both people are going to benefit from that. And absolutely, we usually travel with our soul group. Now, that's not just people in the family. Oftentimes it is, but it doesn't have to be 100%.
Starting point is 00:32:11 It could be people we work with. It could be people that are friends that we have. It could be people that we come together with at the correct time and divine timing to do some sort of spiritual thing, you know, maybe build a center, maybe, you know, do something that's going to bring healing to humankind. It doesn't just have to be metaphysical. It could be something scientific. It could be something related to teaching, political, any of the realms it could be in.
Starting point is 00:32:42 We have these soul agreements. So absolutely. And those things are made between two souls. Even if one is here and one is in the spirit world, it can still take place. Because remember, the soul is always operating in a timeless reality that's very different than the earth plane. And it communicates with others on other levels. You know, have you ever had a dream and somebody comes through and then, you know, you're like, wow, I haven't talked to that person in a long time. And then the next thing you know, they're calling or you're connecting with them. I've personally had that happen. Or people who are deceased can come to us in that way. So there's always this higher, and when I say higher, I don't mean better. I mean
Starting point is 00:33:26 higher vibratory communication that's going on between souls. Absolutely. And we'll know that when that person comes in, I spoke earlier about that spark, you know, recognizing the spark. When we come together with somebody that we, you know, we kind of recognize, oh, wait, I have some business with this person, whatever that might be, you know, we recognize that and we feel that it's like an electrical connection with them. It is, you know, I just wanted to share with you. So I have that, I have that with several people and this one particular person I had that with, I ended up also seeing this person in a past life regression. And then two years later, found out I was actually related.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Yeah, quite an amazing thing. Or even getting a validation from someone who's highly intuitive or a medium. I've had that happen and it just makes my hair stand up. I had somebody say something to me who knew nothing, nothing about my personal likes and dislikes. And it was from past life. And it just made me it was from the person that the media mentioned the Egyptian lifetime. Now, she had no idea, you know, that I knew that, that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's when you get the tingles and the shivers and your hair stands up. And we're all connected. At this point of where our world is at really loved how you talked about how we're all connected at this point of where our world is at really loved how
Starting point is 00:34:46 you talked about how we're all connected and how when one suffers we all suffer and how you talked about separation it brought me to a place of really hoping that our world could grasp that concept because if each one of us could go within and take that lesson that you talk about and really think of it that way, just that if one suffers, we all suffer that. And we could have that compassion. Man, we would be such a beautiful, different world. I think we're working towards that. What you're seeing now is a great cleansing going on. There's a lot of stuff coming to the surface to be healed.
Starting point is 00:35:24 It gets ugly healed it gets ugly before it gets better it's like a wound that's festering we're going through that now you know we're just we're a microcosm of everything that's going on out there and again the planets will reflect that with astrology as above so below and it's the same in the spirit world by the way you know sometimes people have said in my other books I've written about what what's the same in the spirit world, by the way. You know, sometimes people have said in my other books I've written about what's it like in the spirit world, you know, to illustrate this concept of the connectedness and the reflections. Everything that exists here exists there. It's a mirror. The difference is, number one, there is no deception there. Everything is crystal clear. If you were, say, a bad person or if you hurt other people or, you know, you were very selfish or those sorts of things, that will be very apparent in your life in the spirit world. On the contrary, if you were a really good person, which most people are, you'll go to the mid-planes of the consciousness over there. And it's quite beautiful.
Starting point is 00:36:26 But everything that exists there, like mountains and hills and valleys, so it's kind of like a mirror image, but everything's very fluid. The colors are extremely brilliant in the spirit world. And there's a collective souls who are the same vibration exist together. So that's a little bit different. You talked about ancestors and
Starting point is 00:36:47 readings with many people. Ancestors have come through. So you pretty much have proof that ancestors that you have not met guide you. That is correct. And I tell people all the time, it doesn't matter if you knew them here. They are part of the ancestral line. And sometimes, and I wrote a lot in this book, too, about karmic family patterns that come down. These family patterns, such as addiction, such as abandonment. It could be abuse. You know, there's positive things, too. I've done many readings in which, say, a grandfather come through and he did a tremendous amount of service work, donated a lot of his time to charity or community.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And he'll come through and he'll say, you know, my granddaughter is just like me and that legacy is passed down the line. You know, so it's not just negative things, but truly there's been a lot of painful patterns that have come down that sometimes people try to sweep under the carpet to energy. So it's not going to be destroyed. Sometimes it'll skip a generation, but they'll come through and sometimes they'll speak to, please pay attention to this because we don't want to see another generation suffer with alcoholism or, you know, with abuse or whatever it might be. And so it's their kind of coming through and urging their descendants to pay attention to these patterns that have been very detrimental to the family line. And it's getting down into our roots. You know, the energy centers in the body, we got the root chakra, that's at the base
Starting point is 00:38:22 of the spine. Well, that deals with our family, our biological family, our tribe, that root. It's like the roots of a plant. If we don't have strong roots, the plant doesn't thrive. So sometimes it's necessary to go back in there, down in there, I should say, and look at that stuff and examine it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I loved the story in your book about the reading with the girl that Ancestor came through and warned her about drinking and driving in the train accident and how, yeah, that was powerful. That is a true story. I was doing an expo in Columbus, Ohio. You know, I did gallery mediumship. There was, I don't know, probably about 100 people there or so. And these two young women are the ones who came up afterwards and out of the blue, boom, that message came to them. And I don't usually get that sort of thing. And then the phone call a couple of weeks later just blew me away. Blew me away. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:23 That is exactly what had happened about the accident. That was a good teaser. I actually was sitting here and I received a message. I've been thinking about this, doing like a book club, but I just haven't found the right book to do it with. And I'm going to do it with yours. So Sense of Soul is going to host a book club where we're going to read a chapter at a time and get all of our listeners and our community. I'm going to host a book club where we're going to read a chapter at a time and get all of our listeners and our community.

I am so humbled by that. There's literally so many beautiful lessons in your book.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I think it's life changing for someone. And it aligns with us and what we stand for and our purpose. So it's perfect. I'm so excited, Randy. That's an awesome idea. Well, you know, when you're given a message, you can't ignore it. I'm very honored and I'm extremely humbled. We're going to ask you to break it down. And now it's time for break that shit down. Well, I'm impressed to say that we're all much more powerful and unlimited than we ever in our wildest dreams could imagine. And that is all within the each individual waiting for us to tap in. It won't come out magically, folks.
Starting point is 00:40:56 You have to ask and tap into those resources within you. You're only limited in the ways that you think you are. Spirit is always working for the highest good. I don't mean to be a Pollyanna with any of that. I'm a realist. But there are miracles and shifts that can happen. You're the orchestrator of your life. You're the one who makes it happen. be aware of that because you have unlimited potential the past does not limit you or define you in any sense whatsoever that's perfect thank you so much carol i really appreciate that message thank you can you share with our listeners where they can find your book and your amazing classes that you offer and your
