10
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Welcome back.
11
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Greg, it's great to have you here again.
12
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, thank you, Jill. It's been about a year that we were just talking off, before we pressed the record button, but thank you for that introduction. I feel, I feel amazing now. I might have to listen to that every morning as I get up.
13
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Just, like, something to boost you up a little bit. It's so funny how, when we listen to introductions, even if we've written them ourselves, it's like.
14
::Craig Meriwether: Hmm.
15
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, who's that person again?
16
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah.
17
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We forget!
18
::Craig Meriwether: I did that? Whoa. That sounds amazing! That guy sounds amazing!
19
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I… yeah, but there's… for me, anyway, there's, like, this disconnect. I know I've done all these great things, but it's like…
20
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, but I'm still just, you know…
21
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah.
22
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Somebody's name.
23
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still have to go out and rake the leaves after.
24
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, yeah, all the stuff.
25
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So, let me ask you the big question. What's the most significant thing, in your opinion, as individuals, we can do to make an impact on how the world is going?
26
::Craig Meriwether: I think… I always go back to my most favorite quote by Maya Angelou, who said, people will forget what you say, but they'll never forget how you make them feel.
27
::Craig Meriwether: And, I try to live by that. I don't know, I always do the best job of it, but…
28
::Craig Meriwether: that has helped form the way I interact with people. Because, you know, when I go to conferences and expos or do workshops, like, I'm sitting in the audience, taking somebody else's workshop.
29
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, in a few weeks, I might kind of start forgetting what they said, hopefully I took great notes, maybe there's a recording of it I can listen to later. I'll start to forget what they said, but, like, how do they make me feel? I won't forget that.
30
::Craig Meriwether: And so I see it in my own life, and I try to…
31
::Craig Meriwether: hopefully, do the best job I can.
32
::Craig Meriwether: living that, and that's where a lot of this work that, all the people that you have on your show, there's all sorts of different techniques and tools and ways of managing your body, mind, and spirit. And it's that clearing, that needing to let go.
33
::Craig Meriwether: that,
34
::Craig Meriwether: kind of, you know, it clogs up the system, junks up the system, you know, like a dirty window. The view's still there, you just gotta wash the window. So sometimes we gotta… gotta cleanse and clean, and we can get back to making… hopefully making people feel a little bit better. They feel a little better, they make somebody else feel a little better, they make a little smile at somebody, they're not so rude to the cashier.
35
::Craig Meriwether: You know, it just makes the world a better place.
36
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That's really interesting, because I think when you talk in terms of how people make you feel, like, when you go to conferences, or even just talking to somebody, it's how that information that they're… or that energy that they're giving off.
37
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Transforms your life.
38
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And even in, like, Talk to the cashier at the grocery store.
39
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It… it shifts your life.
40
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: path.
41
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah.
42
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Ever so slightly, just from that interaction. And we have lots of interactions throughout the day with different people, and it could be just listening to podcasts, or videos, or
43
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: talking to people, chatting online, each of those interactions with another human being is like molecules floating around in the atmosphere, bumping into each other, and it…
44
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it makes them go on a little bit different trajectory. They're still part of the big thing, but it… it just makes life interesting, and…
45
::Craig Meriwether: True.
46
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it's not so much about memorizing everything.
47
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, and look, to be…
48
::Craig Meriwether: I mean, you could take it down to maybe the black and white of it, it's like, it's easy to punch down and make somebody feel bad.
49
::Craig Meriwether: That's easy to do, and especially with the social media stuff going on, it's easy to leave a nasty comment, or…
50
::Craig Meriwether: A sarcastic comment or something?
51
::Craig Meriwether: It's easy to do, and then go about your day, because, you know, you don't see their reaction.
52
::Craig Meriwether: There's that filter of not seeing, maybe, that you hurt their feelings or anything.
53
::Craig Meriwether: It's, you know, it's a bit harder to make somebody feel good, but it may just be as simple and as easy as that smile.
54
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yep.
55
::Craig Meriwether: Or hey, I appreciate you being here. I know, you know, or that was the best cup of coffee I ever had.
56
::Craig Meriwether: Or, you know…
57
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Great shoes.
58
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, great shoes, yeah.
59
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, I appreciate you being here today. That was a long line of people. You handled it with grace and poison.
60
::Craig Meriwether: I don't know, that might make their day.
61
::Craig Meriwether: But it takes some effort, it takes some… it takes some energy. Yeah, it's easy to punch down, but to lift somebody up, that takes a little bit of effort, but it can be as simple as, again, a little smile or just a little compliment.
62
::Craig Meriwether: You know, great necklace, great, great hair, I don't know.
63
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Thank you. I like this new necklace. It's my new look!
64
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So how does all of this relate back to, understanding kind of where we come from, and…
65
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The… the deeper… The deeper things in this realm.
66
::Craig Meriwether: Well, that's… it's a great way to thread it back.
67
::Craig Meriwether: Because a lot of the work I do with people is based on the research and kind of protocols set up by Michael Newton in his book, Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls, the other books that have been written by the Michael Newton Institute. They've literally been researching this since the early 1970s, or at least Michael Newton was.
68
::Craig Meriwether: And why I like his work
69
::Craig Meriwether: Is that it wasn't just he worked with one person.
70
::Craig Meriwether: And he wasn't, you know, channeling this, or being a medium, or a psychic about it at all. He was a psychotherapist who accidentally regressed somebody back to the spirit world. I thought life between lives is what he called it. When we're in that spirit state, that soul state between our humanness, our human being bodies here on Earth.
71
::Craig Meriwether: And he accidentally regressed somebody. He's thinking he's gonna regress them back to childhood to work on some issues. He was a psychotherapist, but he's using some hypnotherapy. Regressed this person back to childhood to do some healing work. Well, the guy kept going. He didn't stop at childhood, he didn't stop at birth, he didn't stop in utero, he kept going. And he… his…
72
::Craig Meriwether: Consciousness is memory, however you want to describe it.
73
::Craig Meriwether: remembered his soul state, and he did some great healing work while in that soul state. And so this fascinated Michael Newton, and, you know, wanted to learn more about it, if this is a real thing, is this a one-time-only thing? So he started working with people, and seeing if he could
74
::Craig Meriwether: get that experience again for them, and he kind of created this protocol in the early 70s of how to get people back to that state. And as he's working with people, and this is, you know, this is 1970s, there's no, you know, internet…
75
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: internet.
76
::Craig Meriwether: social media, you can't get on the phone, you can't text people. So these people don't know each other. They're coming from across the country, they're different age groups, different cultures, ethnicities, different backgrounds.
77
::Craig Meriwether: And they're having similar experiences of the soul world.
78
::Craig Meriwether: And so, Michael Newton spent the rest of the 70s, all of the 80s, investigating, asking questions, what are your experiences? And he compiled it all into the first book, which came out in 1992, Journey of Souls. He then spent another decade's worth of research with another thousand or so people.
79
::Craig Meriwether: And released a, kind of, Volume 2 of it, Destiny of Souls, which is, I think, twice as big as the first book.
80
::Craig Meriwether: And so, why I like his research, it's not based on just one or two people's experience, it's based on thousands of people's experience. Destiny of Souls is 30 years' worth of research by the time that book was written and released.
81
::Craig Meriwether: So, I'm fascinated by his work and work a lot with his protocols and trainings with the Michael Newton Institute about how to work with people.
82
::Craig Meriwether: And the idea that comes about in Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls is that we are here to learn and to grow.
83
::Craig Meriwether: We are souls, and we come to Earth
84
::Craig Meriwether: Sort of like somebody wants to learn in a computer game, or a computer simulation, and so their soul takes that of an avatar, and they say, okay, this time on Earth, I'm gonna learn this. I'm going to learn more about love, or compassion, or empathy, or something else. I'm gonna learn what it is to be rich, now I'm gonna learn what it is to be poor.
85
::Craig Meriwether: And how can I use that somewhere else? Sort of like computer simulation. A pilot gets on a computer simulation to learn how to fly to Heathrow Airport. Never done it before, so let's do it in a safe place. So when I actually need to do it, I know I have the skills.
86
::Craig Meriwether: So…
87
::Craig Meriwether: your question is, like, how does this relate to all of us? Like, well, if we're here to learn and to grow, if we're here to learn to… to…
88
::Craig Meriwether: Pull people up.
89
::Craig Meriwether: You know, we have set ourselves up in certain situations, circumstances, events in our life to learn how to do that. And maybe we're just here this life to learn this one thing, or maybe we're continuing the education through several lives.
90
::Craig Meriwether: Maybe not each life is a different learning lesson, maybe it's a continuation, sort of like going from the first grade to getting your master's degree. You know, if you're going to learn math.
91
::Craig Meriwether: You're gonna start off in the first grade at 2 plus 2 equals 4. Second grade, you're gonna go to your times tables, the third grade, long division, until you're, you know, and then fractions, and then you're in high school, and you're learning algebra, Algebra 2, calculus, trigonometry. Then you're getting, you know, your mathematics master's degree.
92
::Craig Meriwether: with those crazy equations and Good Will Hunting and all that. And so you grow, and you learn, and it builds upon each other.
93
::Craig Meriwether: And so the ideas around this is that we're here to learn, we're here to develop, we're here to grow, and we may be here with other people in our group.
94
::Craig Meriwether: So, another aspect of the Michael Newton information
95
::Craig Meriwether: Is that we have this soul group, the soul family, that we…
96
::Craig Meriwether: you know, learn with, to grow with, develop with. Sort of like you get placed in that first grade class.
97
::Craig Meriwether: And then you all move together in the same class, maybe different teachers, or maybe the same teacher, all the way up to getting your master's degree together.
98
::Craig Meriwether: Then, maybe you start over again. Okay, well, I learned about love, now I need to learn about compassion. I learned about math, now I need to learn about chemistry. And so you start over again. But it's all about how we can grow as souls, as spirits.
99
::Craig Meriwether: And there may be information in a past life.
100
::Craig Meriwether: that we need to help with that growth, or that learning, to understand, okay, this is a repeat because I didn't do so well that last time. You know, like, maybe having to repeat.
101
::Craig Meriwether: You know, the 7th grade.
102
::Craig Meriwether: Or take that class over again when you're getting your bachelor's degree, or having to take summer school, or get tutoring, or whatever. You didn't learn it so well, it didn't do so well, let's try it again. Another scenario.
103
::Craig Meriwether: And… As you're moving through this life, you may be…
104
::Craig Meriwether: interacting with members of your soul family.
105
::Craig Meriwether: as different players in your world. Maybe you're a player in their learning and growth.
106
::Craig Meriwether: And it's sort of what I… the kind of analogy I like to use is as…
107
::Craig Meriwether: Your town has this community theater of 8, 9 actors.
108
::Craig Meriwether: And they're gonna do a play in January.
109
::Craig Meriwether: And they're gonna pick who plays what role. We're gonna pick out the costumes, and here's the play we're gonna do, and here's how these characters are gonna learn and grow, so by the end of the play, all this resolves, and everybody's happy and joyful, and they've learned.
110
::Craig Meriwether: And then they're gonna take a little rest, and then in March, they're gonna do another play. And everybody's gonna have a different role, they're gonna have a different costume, it's a totally different story. They're still the same actors, they're still the same people. They're just now playing different roles, and let's say you and I, Jill, are in this theater troupe, maybe that first play, we're husband and wife.
111
::Craig Meriwether: And maybe in the next play, I'm mom and you're the son. And in the next play, you know, we're employee, employee, employer, employee, or best friends, or just acquaintances.
112
::Craig Meriwether: I'm the barista, and you're the, you know, lady who comes in for coffee, and I give you a smile every morning, and that boosts your… I don't know. It could be all sorts of different plays, and different roles. Maybe we have a big starring role, maybe we just have a walk-on role.
113
::Craig Meriwether: But… Maybe in that first…
114
::Craig Meriwether: play in January. I get excited as a nectar, and I do a big dramatic thing, and I jump off the couch, and I sprain my ankle.
115
::Craig Meriwether: I roll my ankle, now I gotta be on crutches for the rest of the play.
116
::Craig Meriwether: And then we take a little rest, but then we gotta do that play in March. Well, my ankle isn't healed. And now I'm in crutches in that next play. Has nothing to do with the play.
117
::Craig Meriwether: I rolled my ankle in the first play. Now I'm doing a second play, I still have a sprained ankle. The healing didn't happen, and maybe it's in that play that I need to do something to create healing around that.
118
::Craig Meriwether: And that's not the greatest analogy, the greatest metaphor in the world, but it kind of helps, I hope, show people that maybe we take things, maybe not even physical.
119
::Craig Meriwether: malady, although there's all sorts of interesting things in the reincarnation world about scars and birthmarks and moles and things where people got shot, and all… that's a whole different conversation. But,
120
::Craig Meriwether: While there can be a physical healing.
121
::Craig Meriwether: And I've helped people experience that doing passive regression. A lot of it, though, is more of the mindset.
122
::Craig Meriwether: What do you feel about life? Is life fair or unfair? Is love easy or hard? Is life easy or hard? Is being wealthy better than being poor? What are these things are we bringing to this next life?
123
::Craig Meriwether: And how is it going to influence it? And there may need to be some resolution about something we're carrying around that, and that's where past life regression can help. Certainly, you can do past life regression for insight and discovery and kind of the fun of it, certainly, because it's fun to discover these other lives you've lived.
124
::Craig Meriwether: But a lot of the work I do with people is because of the hurt and the pain.
125
::Craig Meriwether: That has no identification marks to it in this life. They've done the talk therapy. Oftentimes.
126
::Craig Meriwether: People have spent years in talk therapy, or the counseling, or the relationship coaching, or the whatever, or the doctors, or the whatever.
127
::Craig Meriwether: And there's still no resolution. They still can't figure out what's going on.
128
::Craig Meriwether: And they read Brian Weiss, they read Many Lives, Many Masters, or maybe they read Michael Noon, or Dolores Cannon, or something, or maybe my book. And they say, wait a minute, this feels right.
129
::Craig Meriwether: The tap on the shoulder, low intuition.
130
::Craig Meriwether: And they start thinking, yeah, maybe this could be a past life thing that feels interesting, that feels familiar.
131
::Craig Meriwether: And then we start having a conversation, we send emails back and forth, and we… we feel if it's the right match, and it's a good thing to do this deeper healing work.
132
::Craig Meriwether: then we do a process to access those past life memories, and that's what you said at the very, very, very beginning, past life memories. And I want to make sure people understand, this isn't like you're going back to experience this as that person and get lost in there.
133
::Craig Meriwether: You know, and get trapped in there. That's not a possibility, just like you can't get lost in that memory of lunch you had with your friend two weeks ago.
134
::Craig Meriwether: You know, in the restaurant you went to, or the cafe, and the… what you had, and how to taste, and the beautiful smells in the restaurant, and how loud it was, or soft it was, or the music was fun. You can have those memories, that's just a matter. You're not gonna get trapped in that cafe.
135
::Craig Meriwether: eating that same soup over and over again. Or, like, high school, may I ask somebody about high school? Tell me about, did you use sports? Did you use music? Were you in theater? Did you smoke cigarettes behind the gym? What about prom? What'd you wear? Who'd you go with? Did you get a limo? Did you have dinner beforehand? These are memories that you can recall
136
::Craig Meriwether: But you're not going to get lost in high school. You're not going to be trapped in there. Or maybe I ask about a… you know, your earliest memory. Were you 6? Were you 5? Were you 2? Were you 1 years old? What's the earliest memory you can have?
137
::Craig Meriwether: Okay, you're not gonna be trapped as a baby. All we're doing is taking it one little, well, maybe one big step further.
138
::Craig Meriwether: And we're just going to get a memory of a past life.
139
::Craig Meriwether: And it's the same swimming pool.
140
::Craig Meriwether: He says, maybe we've been hanging out on the shallow end here on Earth. All we're gonna do is go over to the deep end. It's the same pool.
141
::Craig Meriwether: It's safe. We're just gonna go a little bit deeper.
142
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: When you get older, as you're talking, I'm thinking about, you know, what's my earliest memory?
143
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: or going to prom, which is… it's a good one. I've seen pictures of myself when I was going to prom, and it's like, that's a different person. I'm not even that being anymore. And I think past life regressions are sort of like that. I know…
144
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I've had some past life, experiences, and they… they really help
145
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: cement some things in. Yes, they can help you deal with trauma, but they can also help you deal with things that you experience in everyday life.
146
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I have… I have bad claustrophobia.
147
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I can't, like… I can't sit in the backseat of most cars, and I don't know what's about that, but I'm also deathly afraid of heights. Like, I can fly in a plane, that's fine, but if I can't get near really high…
148
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: places that don't have a barrier, and I think it's because I went off a cliff on a horse.
149
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: in another life. I have a very vivid memory of being on a horse.
150
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I think it was in England, and going over a cliff and dying on the rocks below, the horse and I.
151
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But it… it… it helps me when I deal with, like, heights. It's like…
152
::Craig Meriwether: I'm not there.
153
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm safe.
154
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That was a different experience.
155
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, yeah. And that's a great, perfect example of how something from a past life can be influencing your current life.
156
::Craig Meriwether: And maybe not in such a, you know.
157
::Craig Meriwether: extraordinarily huge way, it's just, you know, okay, don't go up to, you know, the 50th floor of the building, I guess. But, you know, that would only affect your life if you're an iron worker and building big buildings.
158
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
159
::Craig Meriwether: But it's a connection, a thread to this past life that's having a serious, you know, impact on your life in this way. And maybe there's healing that needs to be, you know…
160
::Craig Meriwether: done around that, some resolution around that. It's the same way, like, I live in Flagstaff, Arizona. We're up on the mountains here in the desert pine forest mountains. You know, it gets cold here, it gets snow here. And if somebody was born and raised here and never left this town, and yet had a deep fear of the ocean.
161
::Craig Meriwether: That would be an odd thing, if they'd never seen the ocean. Maybe they saw a movie. Nowadays, it might be easy to find a scary movie about the deep ocean, but if they'd never, you know, watched TV, or never watched a movie.
162
::Craig Meriwether: where's that fear coming from of something they've never experienced before? And, you know, again, maybe it was a movie, or they heard a story or something, but maybe it is that memory that is still influencing their current life, and does there need to be resolution around that?
163
::Craig Meriwether: And that's the main work that I do with past life regression.
164
::Craig Meriwether: is the healing work. Now, of course, yeah, we can have
165
::Craig Meriwether: Kind of fun and discover insights about who you were and how they relate to your current life, or just explore.
166
::Craig Meriwether: But I always want to make sure there's time available for healing, known or unknown. Maybe you don't know what healing needs, but you move up into that spirit world after the… you pass in that life, and that's a great…
167
::Craig Meriwether: way to see how that past life may be influencing your current life, because what are you thinking at the end of that life? Again, life fair or unfair? Love…
168
::Craig Meriwether: Love's fair or unfair.
169
::Craig Meriwether: Are you seeking revenge? Are you regretful? Are you resentful? Are you angry? And that may be influencing the anger and resentment that that person may be having in this life.
170
::Craig Meriwether: well…
171
::Craig Meriwether: once that… that life passes, you're in spirit form now. And we go up into that spirit world that… that Michael Newton explored in his books, Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, and we always go to the healing place. Even if it wasn't… it's not a…
172
::Craig Meriwether: A session focused on a specific healing of anger, or anxiety, or a phobia, or a fear, or something like that.
173
::Craig Meriwether: Because maybe there's something there that needs to be disconnected.
174
::Craig Meriwether: Or some other healing, and maybe it's… you're there on your own, or maybe you're there with your spirit guide, or maybe there's other healing beings, sort of like a hospital or, you know, some sort of clinic, for the spirit. And then, you know, and understand, of course, you know, whether some people are using
175
::Craig Meriwether: This work for…
176
::Craig Meriwether: healing or something else. If you go to the healing place, and maybe there's healing using water, or light, or energy, or something else, maybe the healing beings have some sort of futuristic-looking rods that they move up and down to stabilize the energy of your spirit, or something.
177
::Craig Meriwether: I'm gonna guess there's probably not water in the spirit world, or, you know, rods of energy or something, but I think it's a way for our brains
178
::Craig Meriwether: to allow us to understand what is happening. We're kind of like taking this 5D information, this fire hose of 5D information, into this funnel, into our 3D brain, and our 3D brain has to make sense of it.
179
::Craig Meriwether: And maybe create the metaphor of water, or the metaphor of light, or something else. And so, while people may scratch their heads, it's like, well, yeah, but does the spirit world really have
180
::Craig Meriwether: you know, spirit beings wearing robes? Like, yeah, maybe not, but that's what your subconscious mind, your brain, needed to manifest in order for understanding to happen.
181
::Craig Meriwether: And to move forward into the various realms there, and for healing to be created. And so…
182
::Craig Meriwether: we can… I think we can get a peek behind the veil.
183
::Craig Meriwether: And maybe we can get very detailed information
184
::Craig Meriwether: About a past life of where the exact city, the exact neighborhood, the exact street, the exact year and month.
185
::Craig Meriwether: But sometimes it may be a little bit more vague, like, well, I feel like maybe we're in England, could be France.
186
::Craig Meriwether: And I'm on a horse, and there's a cliff, I'm not sure where we are, I think it's the 1700s, you know.
187
::Craig Meriwether: But is that enough for healing to happen?
188
::Craig Meriwether: You understand the scenario, that a horse went off a cliff with you wanted.
189
::Craig Meriwether: And that was probably extraordinarily fear-inducing.
190
::Craig Meriwether: And how is it affecting your life, and what are the connections that need to be cut from that, so you can resolve it and move forward without that fear or anxiety, you know?
191
::Craig Meriwether: bubbling in the background. So, people have different experiences and different ways of…
192
::Craig Meriwether: of accessing the information in terms of how it gets downloaded to them. But it's, again, that's why I like to focus on
193
::Craig Meriwether: what is… The healing that needs to happen.
194
::Craig Meriwether: You know, or at least the discoveries that need to be made, the questions that need to be asked.
195
::Craig Meriwether: Skew, at this point, how… how do you…
196
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: work with people? Is it always one-on-one? Do you work in communities with people? And do you have
197
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: courses where people can go at their own pace to learn how to do this themselves? How does all of that look for you?
198
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, that's a… that's a great question. I'm kind of building all of that up right now. Generally, over the last 10 years or so, I've been working with people one-on-one, which is an extraordinary way of doing it. I've been doing workshops over the last few years, you know, 10, 20 people.
199
::Craig Meriwether: And it's a fun way of working with people. Of course, you have to be a little more general when you're working with 20 people, and you can't get as specific with each person.
200
::Craig Meriwether: When we're doing a one-on-one session, we're actually having a conversation.
201
::Craig Meriwether: And while you're in that trance state, you're in that altered state of consciousness, to receive this information.
202
::Craig Meriwether: You're consciously aware enough that you can answer questions, I may be asking.
203
::Craig Meriwether: This not only helps with The recording, so you can listen to it later.
204
::Craig Meriwether: research later, a month later, a year later, and the transcript that you get. But…
205
::Craig Meriwether: It also helps move the past life experience forward.
206
::Craig Meriwether: Because there may be somebody who…
207
::Craig Meriwether: you know, just using your example, Jill, of the horse going over the cliff, it was so traumatic that they just maybe start looping it. I'm going over it again, I'm going over it again, because it's so traumatic that their mind's having a little glitch, and they're just experiencing that over and over and over again, and if the past life regression doesn't know.
208
::Craig Meriwether: Well, they're not going to be able to get them out of that loop. So, when you're working one-on-one, and of course in groups too, if you see somebody having a difficult time, you can work with them to resolve the issue.
209
::Craig Meriwether: But it has to be more of, I want you to go past life and open the door, and what are you experiencing? What are you seeing? Whereas, if I was working one-on-one with somebody, it's like, literally, tell me out loud what you're experiencing. Where are you? Okay, we're now going to move to the next significant event in that life.
210
::Craig Meriwether: I'm gonna count to 3, 1, 2, 3, be there now. Now, where are you? Well, it seems to be a few years earlier, actually, and I'm younger, and I seem to be in school. You know, you can… that person will tell, maybe not everything, but 10, 20% of their experience, so again, so they can go back.
211
::Craig Meriwether: And research themselves later, because…
212
::Craig Meriwether: Some of these sessions can be three, three and a half hours long, if we want to do a more real in-depth one, and you'll experience it, and you'll have the conscious awareness of that experience. It's not like you go to sleep, and then all of a sudden you wake up, and I tell you what your experience was. No, you'll experience it, but it's sort of like experiencing a 3-hour movie.
213
::Craig Meriwether: you know, you see one of those, you know, Martin Scorsese or, you know, Marvel movies or something that's 3 hours long. Well, you saw the movie, and you're consciously aware of the movie, it's just maybe a couple weeks later, you won't remember the entirety
214
::Craig Meriwether: Of the whole story, but luckily, you have a recording of it. And so that comes in real handy, as well as helping to move forward, or if there's some issue that needs resolution.
215
::Craig Meriwether: And that's where, you know, you can help people, especially in spirit world. It feels wonderful in spirit world. What a great place to be and feel the lightness of just being a soul and remembering that.
216
::Craig Meriwether: But sometimes it's a little bit difficult to get people out of the jacuzzi, you know? It feels good in the jacuzzi. You don't want to move to the next thing, but we have… we have a bit of a timeline here, and I want… want to get you to the healing place, and I want to get you to the Current Life viewing room.
217
::Craig Meriwether: So you get more… Insights about your purpose and your ultimate goals and your mission.
218
::Craig Meriwether: But it feels lovely hanging out with your friends in a jacuzzi, so…
219
::Craig Meriwether: you know, let's spend a few minutes there, but now it's time to get out and go. So…
220
::Craig Meriwether: We looked at 4 or 5.
221
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: body experience?
222
::Craig Meriwether: What was that?
223
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Does it seem like kind of an out-of-body experience?
224
::Craig Meriwether: Oh, to some people, very much, yeah, yeah. And again, people experience this in different ways. You know, we have… you know, remember… you remember it back at school, some… you had the visual learners, the auditory learners, the kinesthetic learners.
225
::Craig Meriwether: And that applies to this work, too. And some people will have very out-of-body, I'm-right-there kind of experiences. Other people may see it like it's on a movie screen, or maybe just hear a narration with vague images.
226
::Craig Meriwether: Or maybe you just feel like they're downloading it, like, oh, I just know I'm here, and I'm there.
227
::Craig Meriwether: And so it just, you know, just kind of depends on…
228
::Craig Meriwether: That visual, auditory, kinesthetic processing of the brain.
229
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Okay.
230
::Craig Meriwether: You know, and so, you know, again, in the more… when you're doing group work, whether it's 5, 10, 20 people, you know, I was just at a Brian Weiss workshop over the summer.
231
::Craig Meriwether: It was 700 people in there, you know, having a past life regression.
232
::Craig Meriwether: And so, you can have those experiences with large groups of people, and it's fun to talk about it afterwards and explore in that way afterwards.
233
::Craig Meriwether: But, it's certainly a different, more intense experience when it's just one-on-one, because you can go more in-depth.
234
::Craig Meriwether: And it doesn't have to be so general, it can be really specific. Answering all the questions you want answered. And that's another… you can obviously do this on your own, there's lots of recordings on YouTube, or Spotify, or I… you're asking about my stuff, I have recordings people can, download.
235
::Craig Meriwether: About past lives with your soulmate, or past life for healing, or past life to understand your purpose.
236
::Craig Meriwether: And so there's that aspect of it, listening to recording on your own, working one-on-one, but also I'm going to be focusing on doing retreats in the coming year.
237
::Craig Meriwether: And so we can have,
238
::Craig Meriwether: more spiritual experience of being, hopefully, somewhere beautiful and lovely, and having that disconnect from the world for a few days, and just explore past lives and the healing that can be accomplished. So, kind of doing a little bit of everything, hopefully, and build it up.
239
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So, people can, find out more about connecting with your spirit guide at SacredMysteryhypnotherapy.com. Why would… why would you want to connect with a spirit guide if you were, like, doing these past life regressions?
240
::Craig Meriwether: Well, we always move up in, like I said, we always move up into that spirit world after the death in that past life, and whether it's, like, a 90-minute session or more of the three, three and a half hour session.
241
::Craig Meriwether: It's the same exact
242
::Craig Meriwether: process and the same experience, it's just one is twice as long. So you have more time to gather more information.
243
::Craig Meriwether: Well, we always move into the spirit world, and one of the people you will connect with
244
::Craig Meriwether: Or you have the option to connect with, because people have different experiences.
245
::Craig Meriwether: is your spirit guide. And it may be that coach you need
246
::Craig Meriwether: To understand more about what happened in that past life, and how it's…
247
::Craig Meriwether: access, influencing this current life. The Michael Newton material, they talk about a council of elders.
248
::Craig Meriwether: that will go with you, you know, through that life, bit by bit, and say, well, how'd you feel about this? Well, I don't think that went so well for you this time. Should we do it again? You know, they'll have a communication with you about how that past life, and maybe how it's connected to other past lives, and how it's…
249
::Craig Meriwether: You know, working with your current life.
250
::Craig Meriwether: Maybe that council of others, maybe it's just your soul, your spirit guide?
251
::Craig Meriwether: Maybe you just hang out with your sole family.
252
::Craig Meriwether: But in terms of connecting with your Soul Guide, and the recording people can download from the website, is…
253
::Craig Meriwether: That it allows you a connection to that soul space.
254
::Craig Meriwether: And if you have a question, if you need a solution, if you need some healing, if you need a recharge or a reboot.
255
::Craig Meriwether: Maybe you just want to hang out in beautiful silence.
256
::Craig Meriwether: But you can make that connection with your soul guide, your spirit guide.
257
::Craig Meriwether: And maybe you have the ability to download some information that will help you move forward in this life, or create healing, or something else. So, connecting a soul guy can be very powerful, can be very insightful, and can be very healing. And it also may be just a nice way to recharge and connect.
258
::Craig Meriwether: again, even if you're like, well, I don't…
259
::Craig Meriwether: everything's fine and wonderful, I just want… like, hanging out with a friend. It's just fun, it's just nice. And so you can get that energetic connection going, even if you're just there for 5 minutes. You know, it might be a nice way to charge yourself for your day, or release at the end of the day, or just…
260
::Craig Meriwether: you know, go, I'm having this issue with this person, I wonder what I could do to help out, and you…
261
::Craig Meriwether: Connect and get that intuitive download, and… Maybe that helps it out.
262
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: My spirit guide has unicorns.
263
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: When I'm really stressed out, I go and pet the unicorns.
264
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, and see, and that's what's interesting, and it makes you…
265
::Craig Meriwether: Energized, you know, to have that experience.
266
::Craig Meriwether: You know, and that's what's extraordinary about tapping into this aspect. We all have the ability to do this. This isn't… while maybe a mystical experience and a magical experience.
267
::Craig Meriwether: You don't need special training.
268
::Craig Meriwether: To do it.
269
::Craig Meriwether: There are… there are aspects of it where you… some people go to a past life reader.
270
::Craig Meriwether: who's maybe, like, a channeler, or a medium, or a psychic, or something, they'll tell you your past lives. You see that at expos and things.
271
::Craig Meriwether: And that's fine, if that's the way you want to go about it, but I always feel that having the actual experience of it, however you're meant to have that experience, between your higher self and your spirit guides to say, okay, we're downloading this information this way.
272
::Craig Meriwether: having that experience, and you've experienced it, Joe, is so much more visceral and healing, and I think insightful, you know.
273
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: empowering. If you have somebody do it for you, then you always have to go to that person and have them
274
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: continue to help you. Whereas if they guide you to do it yourself.
275
::Craig Meriwether: then…
276
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you're equipped to at least get to the destination on your own, and you can explore. I mean that you should maybe reconnect with whoever was your guide from time to time to help you maybe find different
277
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: things to explore there, but it… I… I'm very much a…
278
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: do-it-yourself kind of person when it comes to those sorts of things. Can I ask you a… this is a philosophical question. In all of these things that we're talking about, about doing past life regression and, going to the other side, is there…
279
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is there a body of work that talks about what the purpose of it is? I mean, I know from some other documents that it's, like.
280
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you want to reach nirvana, or, like, you don't have to keep coming back, as though coming back wasn't part of the… the whole…
281
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: purpose of being. What is… what is… what is the meaning of life, Craig?
282
::Craig Meriwether: Okay,
283
::Craig Meriwether: I think there are books out there. I haven't read every single one. I think the Michael Newton books get pretty close to giving you an explanation, even the more current ones. Michael Newton passed away in, I think, 2011, but the Michael Newton Institute has continued to release books of their research and working with other people.
284
::Craig Meriwether: I think people touch upon it, but I also think… We're only getting, you know.
285
::Craig Meriwether: A tiny little part of it?
286
::Craig Meriwether: I think these 3D brains of ours can't handle all that 5D information.
287
::Craig Meriwether: And process it well enough to fully understand what this is all about.
288
::Craig Meriwether: Maybe that's done on purpose, as if… you know.
289
::Craig Meriwether: we only need so much knowledge. It's sort of like, well, if you're gonna do…
290
::Craig Meriwether: of Macbeth, we don't need to know every other single Shakespeare play.
291
::Craig Meriwether: you know, just focus on Macbeth. That's hard enough as it is.
292
::Craig Meriwether: And so, with this life, it's like, okay, well, we just need to focus on this life? And maybe we can capture,
293
::Craig Meriwether: You know, glimpses behind the veil here and there, and get insights.
294
::Craig Meriwether: I'm just always… You know, curious as if…
295
::Craig Meriwether: how much can we actually see and sense behind the veil? Because if we see too much, is that going to influence how we learn and grow here?
296
::Craig Meriwether: You know? And even if you see a… of… Nirvana. You see the Enlightenment.
297
::Craig Meriwether: Is that the end, or is that just second grade?
298
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah. Is that just… is that just, yeah, graduating high school? Oh, yeah, well, now you gotta get your bachelor's, you gotta get your master's degree, then you're getting PhD, and then you start teaching.
299
::Craig Meriwether: You know?
300
::Craig Meriwether: And so, you know, we may just be…
301
::Craig Meriwether: Heading towards graduation of high school, and we can't even really understand what comes after that.
302
::Craig Meriwether: So, I think it's a lot bigger than our little 3D brains.
303
::Craig Meriwether: can fully understand. I think we can peer behind the curtain.
304
::Craig Meriwether: And get insights.
305
::Craig Meriwether: that will help us with our learning and growth. I've run into situations where questions were asked, and the person was not allowed to know the answer.
306
::Craig Meriwether: because it was going to influence their life on Earth. And so they were up in the soul world, and that's where a lot of these questions can be, you know, those…
307
::Craig Meriwether: email me if we're doing it over Zoom, which works really well over Zoom, because people feel relaxed and comfortable in their homes.
308
::Craig Meriwether: They're the ones having experience, I'm not doing anything to them, per se.
309
::Craig Meriwether: So, I do a lot of this work over Zoom, and they'll email me questions.
310
::Craig Meriwether: and people. And that's another…
311
::Craig Meriwether: wonderful way of using a guide or a facilitator of this. Certainly, again, you can do it on your own.
312
::Craig Meriwether: But sometimes you get stuck in that jacuzzi, and you forget the questions you wanted answered, or you forget all the people that you wanted to know about. You're just like, oh yeah, there's that one person, that person's awesome. And you just sit in the jacuzzi and think about that person. Yes, but you have 5 other people we need to get through. And so, people will send their questions, and their people…
313
::Craig Meriwether: And I've had situations where The person's like, well, my guide won't tell me.
314
::Craig Meriwether: I was like, oh, that's interesting. May I, through you, speak to your guide? Yeah, that's fine. It's like, can you tell me, you know, let's just use the word Gabriel, name Gabriel. Can you tell me, Gabriel, why…
315
::Craig Meriwether: Fred isn't allowed to know this information. It's like.
316
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, he's not supposed to know. Leave it alone.
317
::Craig Meriwether: And it was, like, very kind of snarky, and I was like, jeez, okay. You know, you got, like, you're a little kid, and you got yelled at by your, you know, neighbor's parent, you know, friend's neighbor's parents or something. And so I was like, okay. And there may be situations where we're not allowed.
318
::Craig Meriwether: The information, or allowed to put your behind that curtain.
319
::Craig Meriwether: Or this question answered, because it'll influence our learning and growth.
320
::Craig Meriwether: You know, it'll mess with the free will, or…
321
::Craig Meriwether: Or too much understanding of spirit world and what we're here
322
::Craig Meriwether: To grow… how we're here to learn and to grow may influence
323
::Craig Meriwether: Too much, and so it gets shut down.
324
::Craig Meriwether: Okay, so we'll go do some mountains, but…
325
::Craig Meriwether: It's a fascinating question, and I… as much as I like
326
::Craig Meriwether: to have the answer, and I like reading people's responses, or listening to people's responses to that answer, I don't know that we can truly, fully understand it completely.
327
::Craig Meriwether: I think people, like, yeah, it's like, you know, yeah, we get out of high school, and then…
328
::Craig Meriwether: Well, then what, do you go to college? You go to, you know, go to community college? You go to university, you go to…
329
::Craig Meriwether: You get 2 bachelors, you get 3 master's degrees, what happens?
330
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, I've… I've… I've seen a few people who've had past, or
331
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: near-death experiences, which is just kind of, like, on the other side of what we're discussing here, but they almost always are really changed by the experience in one way or another.
332
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Just, like, you can't… you can't get to that point.
333
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And not come back.
334
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Totally. With a total different perspective.
335
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah. Yeah, it's fascinating. I even had… I start off my book, the Past Lives Guidebook, with the story of somebody I worked with.
336
::Craig Meriwether: And, you know, I check in with people, you know, a few days afterwards, just making sure they're all right, if they have any questions, want to talk about something.
337
::Craig Meriwether: that they experienced. And she sent me this really great email back and said.
338
::Craig Meriwether: 20 years of chronic hip pain is now gone.
339
::Craig Meriwether: And I didn't even know she had hip pain. She didn't… that's what we were working on, it's just what she lived with. She just lived with hip pain. She'd been to the doctor, she had the MRIs, the x-rays, and…
340
::Craig Meriwether: Physical therapy For decades, nothing worked.
341
::Craig Meriwether: And there was no physical injury or reasoning to have this hip pain, so… but I didn't know that. That's why we… we weren't working on that. But I always take people to the healing place.
342
::Craig Meriwether: And there was some other healing to be done, and I always end that, kind of the part two of the healing place is disconnect the cords.
343
::Craig Meriwether: And so if you see any negative cords connecting you to that past life, or any other past life, pull them out.
344
::Craig Meriwether: And you… and I want them to actually pull them out.
345
::Craig Meriwether: And,
346
::Craig Meriwether: you know, it's a private thing. You know, I'm helping, I'm facilitating, I'm guiding, I'm checking in on making sure they're all right, but they're not giving me details about the healing, because I… again, that's more of a private thing that somebody goes through.
347
::Craig Meriwether: And so, I give people the time they need. They need 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever you need.
348
::Craig Meriwether: And it was taking a while, and I'm checking in, and just making sure, and watching, making sure she's doing alright.
349
::Craig Meriwether: And finally she says, okay, I'm complete. And she emailed later and said, yeah, there was a big, huge cord plugged into my hip.
350
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And I couldn't pull it out.
351
::Craig Meriwether: And so I asked my guide to help me pull it out.
352
::Craig Meriwether: Couldn't pull it out.
353
::Craig Meriwether: And so they got all the healing beings, they did one of those, you know.
354
::Craig Meriwether: tug-of-war things, and they all tried and tried and tried to pull it out, and finally managed to pull it out. This was minutes of doing this, you know, like 5 minutes.
355
::Craig Meriwether: Just on this one chord.
356
::Craig Meriwether: And she said they pulled out the cord. She wasn't even really sure what the cord represented or what it was from. It was just on her hip. She pulled it out.
357
::Craig Meriwether: And her hip con… her 20 years of chronic hip pain was gone. You know, it was, like, 3, 4 days later.
358
::Craig Meriwether: You know?
359
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So amazing.
360
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah, and that's the potential. That's not everybody's story, but it shows you the remarkableness
361
::Craig Meriwether: That's even a word. Of… of what's possible
362
::Craig Meriwether: And I know there are skeptics. I'm very skeptical myself of this. You know, I'm more the, X-Files. I want to believe.
363
::Craig Meriwether: I'm sure that I do, though, of all of it. But that's just my kind of burden. That's why I wrote the book, the Past Lives Guidebook, because I… and I write that in the introduction, you know, I'm a true believer and a skeptic all at the same time, and I wanted to write the book I wanted to read.
364
::Craig Meriwether: with all the science and the… about memory and consciousness, and the biology of the brain, and what's happening with remote viewing, and the government research around that, and put it all together so that… I think at the end of it, people get an idea of, like, oh, between all the science and the biology and the history.
365
::Craig Meriwether: throughout time of different cultures, that this is a thing. Because what William James said, the psychotherapist who helped
366
::Craig Meriwether: Kind of modern day… bring in modern day psychotherapy.
367
::Craig Meriwether: He said, to prove that not all crows are black, I only need one white crow.
368
::Craig Meriwether: You know? And so, really, you only need one person who has an extraordinary experience
369
::Craig Meriwether: And you're like, well, yeah, that can't be anything but a past life.
370
::Craig Meriwether: You know, I think Brian Weiss does that really well in Many Lives, Many Masters.
371
::Craig Meriwether: You know, Brian Weiss was, is, and he's still alive.
372
::Craig Meriwether: 82, 83 years old at this point.
373
::Craig Meriwether: But he's, of, and he calls himself this, a left-brain analytical academic.
374
::Craig Meriwether: He's not a woo-woo person. He doesn't… he's not a spiritual person. He got his chemistry degree from Columbia University. He got his medical degree, an MD doctor from Yale. You know, then he went into psychiatry.
375
::Craig Meriwether: And it was, being head of psychiatry at Mount Sinai in Miami that he met,
376
::Craig Meriwether: the person he wrote about in Many Lives Mini Masters. Worked with her for a year.
377
::Craig Meriwether: Of the deep anxiety she was dealing with.
378
::Craig Meriwether: Couldn't find any way through, around, or over it. Decided to do some hypnotherapy, let's regress.
379
::Craig Meriwether: to… Childhood, maybe?
380
::Craig Meriwether: Well, she kept going, and she went to a past life. Well, he didn't believe it. He said, well, that's something the subconscious mind made up.
381
::Craig Meriwether: But she created healing around it, so let's do it again. Let's do another past life, or the same past life, go deeper into past life.
382
::Craig Meriwether: So they started working with a past life, not believing it, just thinking it's a metaphor of the subconscious mind.
383
::Craig Meriwether: But she was getting so much historical data. This is 1980, no internet, can't research this stuff.
384
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We were a lot dumber back then.
385
::Craig Meriwether: We're a dumb
386
::Craig Meriwether: All we have, all we have is the Encyclopedia Britannica, and she was getting, like, PhD-level information about, I think it was Egypt she was in.
387
::Craig Meriwether: And of course, we all know, you know, the Egyptians built the pyramids. Well, she's getting more info… you know, she's getting PhD-level research kind of information, and dates, and places, and people, and all that. And then she started getting information about Brian Weiss, and his personal life.
388
::Craig Meriwether: And that he had a child die really early, like, one year old or something like that.
389
::Craig Meriwether: And that is… this is 1980, there's no inform… you can't find that information. There was no obituary. Even if she was stalking Brian Weiss, there was no obituary.
390
::Craig Meriwether: And, and, so… There's no way for her to know this information.
391
::Craig Meriwether: And so that…
392
::Craig Meriwether: allowed Brian Weiss to accept that it was really past-life information she was getting, and allowed him to move forward in his research.
393
::Craig Meriwether: As a left-brain analytical academic, into past life, and the science behind it, and just people's experiences.
394
::Craig Meriwether: And kind of blew up the… kind of… not blew up, but created the modern-day past life regression movement when he released a book in 1988. And so…
395
::Craig Meriwether: Again.
396
::Craig Meriwether: To prove that all crows aren't black, I only… you only need one white crow. And there… there it is, right there, many lives, many masters.
397
::Craig Meriwether: So…
398
::Craig Meriwether: possible that the subconscious mind may be creating a metaphor for healing. That's why the healing aspect is so important.
399
::Craig Meriwether: That's the focus of it.
400
::Craig Meriwether: But past lives are… are real, you know? Again, you don't… you only need…
401
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: There's…
402
::Craig Meriwether: crow to prove it, and now there are many crows, let alone the information, the thousands of people over decades that Michael Newton worked with, and now the Michael Newton Institute's worked with. It's almost like 60 years.
403
::Craig Meriwether: Of at least 55 years of research they've been doing in this.
404
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, it's… There's just, like, there's so much information available these days.
405
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You have to deny so much in order to say, no, that's not true.
406
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's… it…
407
::Craig Meriwether: Well, and what's fascinating about it.
408
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: here to accept it.
409
::Craig Meriwether: There are skeptics out there, and you ask them, okay, well, I understand you don't believe the whole past life. Yeah, it's pretty out there. That's a pretty wild…
410
::Craig Meriwether: Theory of how this is all working.
411
::Craig Meriwether: How this reality is, is… Working for us.
412
::Craig Meriwether: Well, and what's your theory? It's like, well, I think we're born, we live a life, and we die, and it's lights out.
413
::Craig Meriwether: And that's it. I was like, okay, well, what's your evidence?
414
::Craig Meriwether: oh, well, my evidence is that you haven't proven past life… past lives exist. It's like, well, that's not proving you. You can't say… I can't prove at 100% that past lives are real, the past life you're experiencing is real, or whatever. Doesn't make you right.
415
::Craig Meriwether: You know? And so there's… I don't know, is there any evidence that this is lights out afterwards? I don't think there's any one shred of evidence, and yet the extraordinary amount of evidence
416
::Craig Meriwether: Not just within the last…
417
::Craig Meriwether: you know, 40 years of Brian Weiss, Many Lives, Many Masters, but it's like, going all the way back to, other cultures, and I do that in the book. We look at… we start all the way at,
418
::Craig Meriwether: Neanderthal burial sites 50,000 years ago, and do they have spiritual intention in the way they're burying
419
::Craig Meriwether: They're seemingly family members.
420
::Craig Meriwether: You know, and so…
421
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: kingdom, even, like elephants and whales, you know, they… the higher-minded species, they… they gather around those that have passed.
422
::Craig Meriwether: Yeah.
423
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: in… And mourn them.
424
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And…
425
::Craig Meriwether: And elvins will return, won't they?
426
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They'll go back.
427
::Craig Meriwether: Okay, dear.
428
::Craig Meriwether: To the site?
429
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Where they… where they passed, and remember… they have a memory of them.
430
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: This suck… we… there's so much that… We just…
431
::Craig Meriwether: And that's the thing, it's like, I think we get these little peaks behind the curtain, behind the veil.
432
::Craig Meriwether: And we can kind of connect this and that, but I think we're getting 5%, you know? I don't think… Exactly. Yeah, I think it's like the story, the blind man and the elephant, and somebody has a snake, somebody has a rope, somebody has a tree trunk. It's like, we don't see the entire elephant here. You know, I don't think we're even getting close.
433
::Craig Meriwether: So, I think… I think a lot of people, when you ask about enlightenment, or…
434
::Craig Meriwether: you know, moving into a realm… I think we're seeing high school graduation.
435
::Craig Meriwether: I don't think we see past that, and are we…
436
::Craig Meriwether: Are we going on to something else? I mean, are we going on to other realms, other planets?
437
::Craig Meriwether: You know, there's so many questions. I think that's the thing, I think this creates more questions than answers.
438
::Craig Meriwether: A lot of this, so… For some of us, that's a good thing. Yeah, yeah.
