Exploring Intuition: Becky Dorn's Journey in Mental Health, Spirituality and Mediumship
Becky Dorn is a board-certified psychiatric Mental Health nurse practitioner with many years of experience. In this episode she discusses her early encounters with people's stories at her mother's beauty shop, her intuitive abilities that began in high school and how she initially shutdown these abilities.
She goes on to recount her pivotal experiences working on a cancer floor, which led her to explore her mediumship and psychic abilities. She recounts her journey through spiritual development classes and subsequent practice of intuitive readings
Now she combines professional and spiritual approaches as needed and finds that this combination can really help people heal.
I have really been looking forward to having a chance to interview Rebecca Dorn, and today is that day. Welcome, Rebecca.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. I've been looking forward to it as well.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Sometimes people call you Becky as well, is that right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I answer?
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:may call you either you'll, you'll answer to that, either of those right? Okay. May call you either you'll, you'll answer to that, either of those right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Absolutely.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay. right. It just as a way of introduction, I, I wanted to just mention, I'm sure that I will have mentioned it already in the, in, in the regular introduction, but so impressed that Becky is a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. And I had to read that from my notes.'cause that's a lot. Board certified psychiatric mental health practitioner. And so you, Becky, are able to people and, and prescribe medications. Is that right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:That's great.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay. So it's basically not much difference between you and a psychiatrist in a way, right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:We are very similar. I think that one of the things that I enjoy about being a nurse practitioner is that I do tend to have and take a little bit more time than a typical psychiatrist with clients because I like doing therapy as well.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:You got some pretty heavy duty education as you got an undergraduate in the University of South Carolina, and then you got a Master's of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:is very heavy duty school. and when did you finish up your Master's?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I finished that in 2003 and that's, I got my psychiatric nurse practitioner at the same time. So that was all together.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Oh,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:finished that in 2003, and that seems like forever ago in some respects and just, just a couple years ago and others.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:I was gonna say that, you're probably starting to get the hang of it now
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yeah,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:20, 22 years or something like that.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:you would think, but there's always something new. There's there. It's never a dull job, that's for sure. There's always something new coming along, which keeps it entertaining.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:we're gonna move into another aspect of your life, which is the, spiritual side of things and the communication side of things. And I, I wanted to talk a little bit about your earlier life that you, got your start about getting a read on people right at the source, at at your mom's beauty
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:you got a chance to hear life as it is, right.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Absolutely. Everyone comes in and wants to tear the hairstylist, everything that's going on in their lives. So I got to hear all kinds of wonderful, interesting stories and realized I really liked hearing people's stories and about things going on with them.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:I think that is so interesting because your job was fairly on the menial side, I guess.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes, yes, I was the phone answerer, hello and have to say the name of the salon and be very professional. And, I thought I was so grown up answering the phone and then I was just in the beauty shop, cleaning up things and listening as I went along.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Well, you must have had your ears open because you really, you've found to a way with people and that started then, I believe, and then you in high school, when we talked a little bit earlier to get ready for today, you had mentioned that, there were times when you kind of had an intuitive knowledge about things that you couldn't really know. you didn't know it by seeing it or hearing it. You just kind of knew it in your mind. Could you talk about that a little bit, please?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Sure. It was just more of a knowing, and I don't know if it's because of, it's just a part of who I am or maybe because of the things that I was very interested in after hearing all the stories about relationships and how people interact in my mom's beauty shop. But one of the things that I always tended to know about people were about relationships and their interactions with each other. Those were the things that would always come across to me, and it. Took a while for me to realize that that wasn't necessarily normal, for a lot of people to know those things. So there were some times where I had said some things when I was younger and, gotten the funny looks or, my mom saying, may maybe don't say anything like that. And then in high school, I, had a few people that I would tell closely, that I. Just know things sometimes, and it was something that I didn't talk about a lot, but thought that it would be okay to share with some close friends. And yeah, had a situation that it didn't work out so well. Someone was really like, oh, well, tell me something about myself and tell me something about this. And I ended up mentioning something and talking about a relationship with his parent that there was no way that I could have known. And he got pretty scared and then didn't talk to me for a while. And that just, kind of hurt me and made me very wary of telling anyone about that and not wanting to, not wanting to hurt anyone or make anyone else feel uncomfortable, and also not wanting to make myself vulnerable.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Right, You know, I've interviewed a lot of people that have these gifts and I generally try to ask about the earlier part of their life because I want, I. I want people who are listening to know that, they're just normal person. You were going to middle school, you just were a regular person, and going to high school, you had buddies. You, you did normal things. But these knowledges just came to you. You didn't ask for that, right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:No, it was just there. And half the time didn't really know what to do with it because you feel a certain sense of responsibility sometimes when you know things, but you don't really know what to do with that. But sometimes you feel like you need to say something or you need to tell someone. But then when does that become a breach of their privacy? You know?
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:That's, that's a lot for someone in their teens. I think it's a lot for someone at any
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I was about to say, it's a lot for adults, it's a lot for any age, but especially when you're that age, I think, and trying to figure out what your own identity is at that point.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah. And you don't, you haven't had much life experience, so you, there you are just going through life trying to learn about what the heck is going on here in this world. And
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:things come up. A lot of people that I've interviewed have put their gifts, I. In the closet or on hold or stuff them down for that very purpose is they wanted to have friends. They didn't want to be thought of as weird, and they just de decided that this, it's not worth it for me to continue to do this and talk about it. I'd rather have friends.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:so a lot of people kind of put it in the back. And in a way, I think you, did. A little bit of that in your teen years until you got finished nursing school, right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Right. I did. I definitely set it aside. And then also, nursing school is much more holistic based than I think a lot of medicine and a lot of healthcare because it does talk about treating the whole person and looking at the spirituality and the emotional and mental state of someone rather than just their physical state. So it's very holistic in that respect, but it's still very science based. In a lot of ways I think they've come a long way with bringing in some more holistic and outside of the box classes and things like that. And I'm very happy to see that occurring. But where I went to school and the way things were there, it was very, by the book, very science based. So that combined with my. Maybe desire to not really utilize that part because of my fears.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:right.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I, shut it down for quite a while. I mean, those things would still sneak in, where I would just know something sometime, but you just kind of go, no, nope. Not gonna pay attention to that. Not I,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:going there.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:yeah. And yeah, so I definitely did that for quite some time.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah. And then at some point in time you did get to work on a kind of a cancer floor, I
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:A cancer
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:That's it.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Bone marrow transplants, stem cells that, you know, very intense treatments of people that were very sick.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Could you tell about what happened at that point in time?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Sure. It's, I think it's really difficult to be around people when they're at the end of their lives.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Oh yeah.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:For a length of time and not feel like there's something more. And that there's something else going on. Because the number of patients that I saw that when they were nearing their end, because where I worked, we often got people who, this was their last ditch effort. They had tried everything else, so we were trying the bone marrow and stem cell transplant, and a lot of them knew that There was very little hope, and their families were there for a long period of time, and we would have them for months and months. So we got very attached to them, very attached to their families,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Right.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:and they would get towards the end and we knew it was getting close, and they would start seeing things in their room that we couldn't see. They would start talking to people that we couldn't hear, and they would get this look of peace over their face that would come when that happened. And you just start questioning those things a bit more and realizing, okay, maybe. Maybe it's not just me, you know, maybe there are things about this knowing or this ability to be able to see or hear things that not everyone is aware of at that moment. That can bring peace and that can bring some happiness and, and then a close friend of mine who worked on the unit with me. She lost her father, and we had very mirror image childhoods and adulthoods, even though we grew up in very separate parts of the country, our relationship with our fathers was very similar. We were really close. So when she lost her dad, it was like a slap in the face to me, like, oh, that could have been me. And so.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:That's right, right there, but
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yeah,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:of God,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:exactly. So I really felt for her and she was asking a lot of questions and the whys, did this happen this way? And so I was trying to be supportive for her and she said, I think I should go see a medium. Will you go with me? And I said, absolutely. And I didn't really know what I was getting into.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:too scary. Too scary for her to
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm. exactly. And that really helped open my eyes up again to another way of looking at things and a way that that knowledge could be really helpful for people. And I started feeling like, like I was missing out, having shut that part of myself away. So I wanted to feel that connection again.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:The trip to the medium kind of validated what you had been thinking and known all along.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm. Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:that you, that there was more out there that you could communicate out there? I wanna go back just for a second. You know, the, the title of this podcast is Life. It just keeps on going. And one of the goals that I had with the podcast was to try to communicate to other people in my generation, the baby boomers who are now in their sixties and seventies and beyond that. At the end of this life you're ending your human life, but that life keeps on going after the human life. And I think the fact that, you talked about, these folks that were nearing the end of their human life, communicating and being very happy and reassured and comforted by people that. Obviously we're on the other side.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Was this a fairly common thing that you, saw?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:yes. I would say it happened more often than not. And it was, it was kind of mind boggling to think that,, this was something that, yeah, I mean, I'd heard about it happening before, but I'd never seen it. And the way I'd heard about it was that I thought, oh, well, maybe it happens occasionally for someone who's really sensitive or very open, or something like that. I, I can probably count on one hand the number of patients that I didn't see that happen with, and that to me also doesn't mean that it didn't happen. It just means maybe I wasn't there at that moment.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:right, Well that is so Did you ever find out what their families thought about all that?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:It varied. You know, some of them were completely like, yeah, he's hallucinating, or, yeah, it must be the meds, you know, very, very straight and narrow scientific base. No, it can't be. There were others who. Thought for sure that he was talking, to Aunt Gertie, who had been there and
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:yes.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:We're completely on board with it. And then there were the ones that were kind of in the middle who go, who would think, I never really thought of this happening. I didn't think this would, but I trust this person and I believe that that's a possibility. So it was nice to see some of them. Have that opening of their mindset and have something that also I think brought them comfort. That was, not only did it bring the patient comfort, but most of the time it brought the family comfort knowing that their loved one didn't feel alone, that that they weren't dreading death, that they weren't scared. It helped so much for them to know that that wasn't what they were feeling.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Wow. And just to repeat that it was a very small minority where you didn't become aware of, of the
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:communicating to people on the other side. And like you said, wasn't that they didn't, but you just weren't aware of it.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Right.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah, yeah. I have done an interview with a mother and daughter who can help people when they're in that spot
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Oh,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:call it the next great adventure. the, the daughter will go with her guides to the other side and find out who's going to meet the person.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:oh.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:when they pass over and we'll record a detailed statement of this is what is gonna happen when the human life ends. You're gonna go and you're gonna see this person, that person, whatever. And so just think that's just another step forward in providing reassurance, et cetera, the next great adventure. But.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:That really is, and I love that name.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yes, it is. It is. And yeah, and, and the mom draws a picture of she's an artist and she'll draw a, a, a detailed picture of what's gonna gonna look like to that, to the person who's passing over. So yeah, it, it's really sharp. So when your friend's dad started passing and you got, went to the medium was there something in particular about the medium that, you more than others? Or was it just the general experience?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Well, when she looked at me and said, you know, you can do all of this, right? That kind of hit pretty hard.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Oh, oh my goodness.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yeah. She tuned into me very quickly and said, but you know all of this because you do this. And I just said, what?
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:I don't do it,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:And she said, well, you know, you can, right? And, and I just kind of said maybe, and she said, no, maybe, but that's okay. And, but she just very lovingly, she. It's hard to explain because she wasn't that much older. I mean, she was older than me, probably, maybe my parents' age, but she had like a grandmotherly energy was the energy that she gave. So it was just very warm, very nurturing, very, of course you can dear, but it's okay. It'll all come around, you know. No judgment, nothing That was. Made me feel uncomfortable. And so she had a way of normalizing that for me. And I think
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:yes,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:that was the, the key thing and validating it. Because
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:yes.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:know, there comes a time when you say these things and you think, yeah, well maybe I am just making it up, may, maybe it's really not real. Maybe I really can't do this. Maybe that's what
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:ev
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I want.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:that does it
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:about that, that they, even sometimes after years,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Hmm
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:they'll, they'll still say, is it, is it, am I really
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:this? So that's, that's part of it, I think.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:It is.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:you gotta move beyond that. I.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes. And
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:that must have been a life changer for you. I mean, kind
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:it was.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:friend asks you, will you come with me? you're like, sure. You know, I'll be there. I'll help you out. I'll be supportive. You went and then that happened that it must have blown you away. I
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yeah. And here I am trying to be supportive for my friend and thinking, okay, this isn't about me, but oh my gosh, can you believe what just happened at the same time? Going through all of that. So it was, it was really interesting. But it started me definitely on a journey of wanting to learn more and explore more, and I ended up doing my own session with her later, and she was still just as wonderful and just, yeah, kind of expanding and realizing there were a lot of things that have been going on that I had never. Fully understood what they were.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:You know, I think that is so great. It just shows you what that. Counter, and then you acted on it though.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah. You didn't go and hide somewhere. You said, I, let me continue with this. You were interested and you, you followed through on it and that kind of opened it up a little bit, right?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:I, maybe I can do or do this or I can do
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Mm-hmm.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:And so that you went on to do some studies. I think right after that.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I did. I went to Casa Dega, which is a spiritualist. Settlement in Florida with a friend of mine who was also very open-minded. After I moved there we ended up, going and seeing some people there, and she was very open and she said, yeah,, now it's, it's your turn, it's your time. And she bought me a copy of the book, second site by Judith Orloff, who's a pretty well known psychiatrist. Who is known for being an intuitive as well. She does a lot of work with impasses and energy vampires and things like that, and so that was a way of. Saying, no, here's someone else who's in your field who is also doing this. And then learning about Dr. Brian Weiss, who does past life regression is also a psychiatrist. Those kinds of things. It helps to normalize things.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yes.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:the message that I kept getting was, well, now it's your turn. You normalize this and you work with this and, and do these things. So I started taking some classes for psychic development and mediumship classes and just different things and just trying to take in a lot of information when I was in Florida. And then when I moved to North Carolina, wanted to continue and expand on that. And I've been fortunate enough to have some wonderful mentors and teachers that I feel have helped in a lot of ways.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Oh, that's so neat. And that life kind of opened up in a, in a way that you never could have expected it.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Exactly.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah. How nice I think about, about you going to these classes and following through on this. It must have been a wonderful process. You must have really enjoyed it.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Oh, I did. I absolutely enjoyed it. And don't get me wrong, there were still those times where I'd have the big doubts and.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:what I was doing and why I was doing this and think that I was probably going to be, you know, the dunks of the class. You know, not the one,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Oh
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:because I'd go and I'd hear these people, oh, well I've been psychic and I've been doing reading since I was, 10 years old, and I'm over here thinking, yeah, that's not me. And you start to compare yourself to other people, and then you start getting to a point where you realize, it's never about comparing yourself to anyone else because you are. Your intuition and your connection are always your own, and it's always unique to you. You have similarities with other people, but I truly believe that every one of us can do these things. It's just a matter of being open to it.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:right,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:it was, so, yeah, I had my moments and, and there were times when life got busy and I'd go, months or even years without, taking a class maybe, but still working some on my own.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Well, you and I have a mutual friend John Ray Barges and, and she says that developing your mediumship skills. similar in a way to someone who's a let's say a musician that is in in a symphonic orchestra,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:and they have developed certain skills and abilities that, that most of us wouldn't even dream of having. But to them it's just another day. It's like, oh yeah, I can hear this, I can hear that they train. They train over time and experience, and that all of us can be mediums. We just have to move forward with that and just keep developing it. And so you did, you did that. And now do you do do you do mediumship readings at this point in time?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:I do some, I actually do. I tend to call them more intuitive readings because I allow, I allow the information to come in however it wants to present itself. So sometimes that's just a knowing from the other person's higher consciousness. Sometimes it is someone in spirit who has passed on that's giving me information, and there I don't like to limit it just because some people. Some people still have a lot of fear surrounding mediumship, or they say, well, I definitely wanna talk to Uncle Fred. And Uncle Fred may not be who comes through today because Spirit may have decided that you have a more important message that's coming from someone else. And so I feel like it kind of, it enables me to be able to, to work with people wherever their comfort level is.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay. Right. And just to clarify for people that aren't real familiar with this area, a, a medium, it gives voice to people on, that are on the other side. That want to communicate with people on this side,
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:send a message or in whatever way they do it to the medium. And the medium conveys what that other person is saying.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Right.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:that's what you are saying is, is that you also have intuitive things that come to you that are not from a particular person.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Right.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:is that accurate?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:accurate. Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay. Alright. And so you get a message download or whatever that sometimes people call it, you get that message, but it's not from uncle Joe, Joe, it's, it's from the higher self or some somewhere. And and a very, can be a very important lesson or, or message for the person at that particular time.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Right, and it can be coming from all kinds of different places. It could be from spirit, from, a spirit guide, from their higher consciousness, from all sorts of different things. So that way it allows it to be a blend.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay. Now when you say higher consciousness, I think what you're saying is that as a person in a human form that I'm also a spiritual being. I.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Right. That's in the human form, but there's up, way up the ladder. Is this higher, what did you call it? Higher.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Higher consciousness.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Higher? Yeah. And, and so could you explain the difference of that? What does that have to do with me as a guy walking around on, on earth here?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:The way that I understand it and the way that feels true to me is that yes, our, we're a spiritual being, having a physical experience, right?
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:we're here having a human experience, but our spiritual being is something that continues on with or without this body. That part of our spiritual being has more knowledge than we contain in this human body where we are, that spiritual being has all of our past lives, all of our interactions is able to see where all of the networks are, things like that, that we're not aware of. I believe it's still here. You know, with us, we are just not aware of it in our human experience in the same way we can reach some of that through meditation, through quiet moments, through tuning in with it. Absolutely. But we're just not aware of it on a conscious level all the time. So that's why, and some people would term that more like the subconscious, you know?
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:But I just consider it like a higher consciousness because it's, to me, it's something that's out of the mundane, it's out of the everyday stuff. It's, it's who we truly are and always will be. Whether we have this body or a different
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Right. For eternity.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Exactly.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yes, I, I've heard the phrase over soul used.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Oh, like
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:with that phrase?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:not, but I like it.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Yeah. Where that the talking about even a higher than our spirit in, as we pass on to the next realm will be in a certain level of spirit, but our soul will also have an over soul. That's the even higher level and, and a broader picture of things. And so it's just a lot to be comforted by
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:It's a lot to be comforted by because there's our spirit and then there are also other. Forces on the other side that are looking out for us and, and caring about us. And so it's, it's so interesting and, I'm so happy for you that you were able to get that communication skill come forward in your, in your life. I think that's, that's so neat. I, I want to talk with you about another topic, but I'm not sure we're gonna be able to do it in this particular episode. And that is your abilities to communicate with non-humans with animals.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:is that something that you are able to do is communicate with animals?
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:Yes,
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Well, I want to hear all about it. And can you stay around for another episode? I'll be, I'd like to do that after we finish up this one.
squadcaster-1c4j_1_04-16-2025_145042:absolutely. I would love to.
james_3_04-16-2025_145041:Okay, great. Great. Well, let's, let's finish up now. This is a good breaking point and then we'll come back and talk about communication with animals.
