Now let's dive in to today's episode. I like to
welcome to the show, Terry Yoda. How you doing, Terry?
Speaker 2: Pretty good? Thank you so much for having me today.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for going to flying down the
Next Level Soul Studios. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Very welcome, my pleasure.
Speaker 1: So you have had an interesting, interesting life, to say
the least. You've died twice, and then that opened up
your psychic abilities and the mediumship as well.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, so you.
Speaker 1: Do both psychic and medium. I've always been told you
can be a psychic and don't have to be a meetum,
but you can't be a meetum without being a psycho, right,
is that true?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So take us back to your first near death was young? Right,
so I didn't Can you talk a little bit about that.
The fourteen year old when you were fourteen is when
it really was.
Speaker 2: That was the big one. When I was born, I
was born six months, I was born two months early.
I was taking cesarean section because my mother had toxemia.
So when they cut my mother to take me out,
I jumped up and through my arms. Doctor says, I
hope you're ready for this one. So that was I
believe that was a near death experience. I was in
an incubator for quite a while and before they could
take me home. But at fourteen, I believe that that
first one at birth, I believe that that was kind
of my ability to choose whether to go or stay,
because I've got a pretty big plate this time round,
and at fourteen I was kind of aimlessly lost and
difficult process. And the near death experience at fourteen is
the one that quickened me and woken me up, awakened
my gifts inside of me. I didn't know it at
the time. About two days after the near death experience,
everything that is, every blade of grass, every tree, every leaf,
every person had a thin golden aura around it. Something's off,
something's different, something's new. And then I went to my
grandmother's that summer and found a dec of touro carts
and a drawer for which there was no explanation at
the time, and they came to life for me and
it was like, Wow, these these really were.
Speaker 1: And this is fourteen, this is after, This is after all. Right,
so before did you have any inclination in regards to
zychic abilities mediumship? Did you see dead people walking around
like anything at all?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a dormant.
Speaker 2: I can recount being three or four years old and
driving by a drive in in a nearby town and
seeing a shadow person.
Speaker 1: You mean a shadow person, meaning like a spirit.
Speaker 2: A shadow person the big hat and the cape and
that sort of thing. And it was in October, so
my mother threw it off that it was just a
Halloween constant.
Speaker 1: So it's almost did they almost look like a dementor
from Harry Potter? Almost almost right, something like that, a big.
Speaker 2: Brimmed hat in the cape, the flowing cape.
Speaker 1: Interesting, So what is a shadow person? Is it that?
That's not a spirit, it's something else.
Speaker 2: It's I'm not even sure how to describe it. I
believe that there were a lower level entity that comes
to bring fear and.
Speaker 1: It feeds off of It feeds off of fear, very
much like a dementor. Yes, it's much like where she
got that from. I wonder where she got that from.
So that's interesting. Okay, So you're fourteen, what leads up
to your death because generally fourteen year olds, right don't
have your death experiences.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not proud of it, but I was a very,
very lonely young fella. I was raised in East central
Indiana and sixties and seventies. I didn't realize it, while
I realized it at the time that I was actually
growing up gay and that was a lonely existence. And
I met a friend who taught me to huff gasoline
and please don't do it. It's not a good thing.
It can actually kill you. And it was Memorial Day
Week in nineteen seventy nine, Sunday. I was huffing gasoline
and had huffed for probably two hours straight.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus.
Speaker 2: And I wasn't a smart child.
Speaker 1: And that wasn't helping your intelligence.
Speaker 2: It wasn't helping my intelligence either. But it was a
way of coping. It was a way of escaping the
reality of things. And I left my body. I left
my body. I went up and hovered above my body
and I was alone, and there was a voice that
spoke to me and was coaxing me to let go,
just let go, come with me, let go. Everything will
be fine, and there was like, this doesn't feel like
a right voice, and I didn't trust it. And then
just then my dad lifts the garage door and I
was shoved back in my body instantaneously. He saved my life.
He saved my life. So I was just hovering above
my body, and I believe it's in that moment that
that experience is the experience that opened my gifts wide open.
Speaker 1: You basically had an out of body experience. You were dying,
or might have been.
Speaker 2: I was on the path to death.
Speaker 1: What I find interesting about this story is that you
had a voice talking to you, but you didn't trust
the voice. What do you think that voice was?
Speaker 2: Negative?
Speaker 1: It was negative. It wasn't something positive.
Speaker 2: I think it was. I think it was lower energy,
trying to snuff me out because I'm here for a purpose.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Have you dealt with those energies since.
Speaker 2: A couple times? Yeah. When I was first opening up,
I had something laid down in the bed with me
and whisper my name.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fun.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that right for Halloween? Right? Great night sleep
that night. Yeah. But then that's when I was introduced
to my first guide. Is when that experience happened. Then
I literally had this experience where my guide Crystal came
in over top of me and said, you know, this
is a negative force. This is something that you need
to resist, and it was at that point that my
gifts really started to take off.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about something because it's something
that's kind of come up into my life recently in
regards to negative entities, negative energy, and it's something I've been,
you know, discussing with other contemporaries of yours, and I
find it fine kind of fascinating because the energy when
we when we talk about like the astro realms, and
we talk about negative spirits and we talk about like
hauntings and things like that. My understanding of hauntings and
and please some of your experiences obviously are ghosts or
not ghosts, but spirits or fractals or echoes of spirit
that are trapped in almost a loop of a traumatic experience.
So there's that. I had a story. I had someone
come on that they there was a haunting in the
house and they say one o'clock, everything's gonna go crazy,
and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't feel anything.
And at one o'clock it's a civil war or World
War one. It was civil World War War one hospital,
makeshift hospital, I think it was a civil war. And
there's nurses, and there's bodies everywhere, and bloods all and
and it's all these spirits that are kind of caught
in that loop. So that's one thing that's not particularly negative.
They might just not want you there because they're going
through their own stuff. Does that make sense what I'm saying, Yes,
that makes sense, Okay, absolutely, But then you're talking about
negative entities, which are the lower level energies who are
our spirit as well, but they just haven't evolved themselves
out of it yet, right, So they feed on fear.
They try to create fear, and all of.
Speaker 2: That create fear, create diversions from your process, from your direction.
Speaker 1: And the bigger, the bigger the mission, the more intense
that could be on what you're here to do. Because
they don't want to see happiness. They don't want to
see an evolution, Is that.
Speaker 2: All right, They don't want to see edification, they don't
want to see people aided help to assist.
Speaker 1: So they're there to kind of mess up. But the
thing is that they are essentially light is much more powerful.
Speaker 2: Yes, always, always, so.
Speaker 1: The light that you generate yourself. And also I've heard
stories and near death experiences where people go through a
hellish experience where they go down because they were either Catholic,
or they were in their religion, or their felt, you know,
a patterning in their brain. They believe that they need
to go through that, so they go through it.
Speaker 3: And we'll be right back after a word from our sponsor,
and now back to the show.
Speaker 1: All the time, every single one that I've at least
interviewed that had a negative near death experience, when they
come down and they're stuck there for days, let's say,
all they do is ask, once I need help, can
someone come and help me. That's when Archangel Michael or
and our angel shows up, or Jesus shows up or
someone and it's light and they just scatter. Is that
essentially the way it works?
Speaker 2: I believe that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, is it? You remember the movie Ghost of course?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: It gets a lot of things right, it does. It
gets a lot of things right.
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree with the dark things coming about
the ground and that was making you off to hell, right,
there's that, but there was a lot of truth in that.
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean a lot of truth because the more
I've spoken to so many psychic mediums, and I look
at Whoopy and what she did in that movie and
what the whole all of that stuff is pretty accurate.
But I was going to bring up the negative energies,
those we'll call them the mentors for lack of a
better word right now, pulling the soul into a hellish
who knows where they were being pulled into. But that's
kind of the kind of low level energy you're talking about,
like these kind of ground dwelling, very low energy basic energies.
Is that true?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: So what can someone do to protect themselves? Because I've
heard of many in the Eastern philosophies and the Vedic
chants and mantras that help give you protection, meditations.
Speaker 2: What do you do Whenever I feel something like that,
I immediately stop and I say, anything that cannot or will
not walk in the light of Christ must depart now
and God bless you. That usually does the trick. Sometimes
I have to actually pull away and go into a
state of meditation. I mean, I had a situation last
night where I had something trying to affect me as
I was trying to go to sleep, and I'm just
like I had to rebuke three times and then it
stopped and I was able to get a peaceful night's sleep.
So it does happen. I find that it happens most
with me to try to prevent me from doing or
achieving something that I'm trying to achieve for the good
of a whole.
Speaker 1: And being on the show would be one of those things.
Speaker 2: Being on the show would be one of those things.
Speaker 1: So they were trying to slow you down or.
Speaker 2: Stop you, confuse me, work me up.
Speaker 1: Interesting, and there's a difference between and this is I'd
love to hear your thoughts on this because so many
of us think we have spirit guides, we have our
loved ones, we have protectors, we have ascended masters, we
have angels around the guardian angels, all these things, but
yet these entities still are able to get through. So
can you explain to me what the difference is between
your guardian angel which, or your ascended masters, or your
spirit guides, any of these who are there to protect
you on the macro level, I guess right, But this
seems to be a micro level kind of situation that
they don't get involved in unless asked, unless you ask
for assistance. Is that I'm just trying to understand.
Speaker 2: I believe that we're always in the palm of the
hand of God. I believe that we're always protected. But
I believe that these little incidents like last night came
to teach me something. Right, You're never out of grace,
but you're permitted to be challenged and tested for your
own ability to grow and learn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if it's kind of like a parent who
constantly is protecting the child from the world, but the
moment that the parent is not there, the real world
comes up. Yes, and you're not prepared.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're not prepared.
Speaker 1: What are taxes? Do I have to pay taxes? My
parents paid my taxes all this time? Laundry? What is
that I just showed up in My clothes were always clean?
You know That's and that happens all the time, right,
you know all the time, especially if you have a
Latino mother like I. Tek me a minute to kind
of get all I had to break free from that
and just go, hey, I'm gonna do my own laundry.
Speaker 2: I gotta figure this out exactly.
Speaker 1: I love you, mom.
Speaker 2: I'll never forget today that I was getting up at
seven thirty in the morning to go to work and
realize I was like twenty one, and I'm like, oh,
I'm going to have to do this for the rest
of my life until I'm this isn't true. I don't
have to get up at seven thirty every morning, but
I realize, Oh, I have to do this the rest
of my life.
Speaker 1: Terry. One thing if I feel about you is that
you're such a gentle energy, a gentle soul.
Speaker 2: I pride myself a life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're very You're a very gentle There's a
kindness that comes from you. There's a gentleness that comes
from you. Your energy kind of just says that you
And as you're telling me like, yeah, something last night
was trying to get to me, I'm like it almost
senyses like, oh, yeah, he's an easy target because he
seems so gentle and so kind. You're not like this
warrior or anything like that that I can the energy.
I'm sure you are a warrior in many ways.
Speaker 2: In your life need to be I will be, yeah.
Speaker 1: Correct, but generally your your baseline, yea very kind, very gentle.
It must be more difficult doing the work that you
do because you see, obviously are an EmPATH. Obviously you
feel people's energy. How do you kind of do the
work and yet still because there's a lot of empathic
people listening, and a lot of people who are gentle
and kind in their everyday life. But the world rough sometimes, yeah,
and getting it seems to be getting rougher areas of
the world. So how do you deal with that? How
do you kind of like protect your energy? That's a
big question, is how do you protect your energy from
other people's either jealousies or other people's hatred or other
people Because I gotta believe or miss you've got you've dealt.
Speaker 2: With this, right, Yeah. I Mean an example that I
can think of is there was at one point I
had there's local psychic in my areas, the Bay Area,
who actually sent someone to do a fifteen minute telephone
reading with me so they could trash me on Yelp.
And it was all taken out of context. It was
all completely totally misconstrued. And when I looked at this
woman's reviews, it's like a huh, six positive reviews for
XYZ and here I am being trash and that was
enough for me. I'm like oh it's jealousy. I don't
need to deal with this, let it go. It gets
hard though, because sometimes you deal with difficult people. Stop it,
and difficult people and unbelievable situations. And I just when
it's over, I step away, I brush off, I ask
for renew, I cleanse, put it in perspective.
Speaker 1: But do you go through a daily ritual of kind
of like protecting yourself and cleansing yourself, because I got
to imagine the energies that you deal with on a
daily basis, doing the work you're doing. It's difficult, just
like a simple psych it's as simple as I say simple,
a simple psychic reading or a simple medium you know,
a mediumship session where you're talking to a loved one. Right,
it's energy that's flowing through in and out of you.
And I I mean at a certain point you got
to cleanse that stuff.
Speaker 2: You do need to cleanse it, because if you don't,
it builds up and like attracts, like build it, build it,
build it, build it. It can actually consume you if
you don't clear it.
Speaker 1: Interesting, how do you clear it again?
Speaker 2: I step back, do a brief meditation, focus on white light,
golden light coming in through the top of my head,
pushing all of that out, relinquishing all of that, letting
it go in God's name, Light to God.
Speaker 1: Where you raised religious?
Speaker 2: I was not raised religious, But at fourteen I had
the near death experience. I found the tourou carts. They
came to life for me. I had my first relationship,
and I went into the Pentecostal church. All within a
four month period.
Speaker 1: That seems like a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really do it up, don't I.
Speaker 1: How'd that workouts?
Speaker 2: Actually? You know what? It worked out really well. I
was so devout in my love of God and my
love of Christ, and I really devoted myself to the
Christian faith. And about three and a half years in
I started to see holes and.
Speaker 1: You mean plot holes in the story.
Speaker 2: Holes in the faith. Interesting, where's the love of Christ? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So you mean they're not really you mean the churches
are not about what Christ actually spoke about, right, stop
it right?
Speaker 2: And I mean at fourteen you.
Speaker 1: Figured this out? At fourteen or seventeen.
Speaker 2: Fourteen to seventeen, Yeah, I'm like I was, that's for sure.
I'm like, you know this just I mean that was
what I said when I left, was where's the love
of Christ.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor
and now back to the show.
Speaker 2: And nobody could give me an answer. It was just anger, haughty, right.
But you know, my foundation is in Christianity and I
have it's the foundation upon which my gifts were centered
at fourteen, when when I gave my life to Christ,
I was given multiple of the spiritual gifts right then
and there on the spot. I think that was the
Grand Poobah opening the portal and really putting me in
place to receive from spirit.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna play devil's advocate and no pun intended here.
According to the Christian faith, what you do as far
as psychic medium, you're the devil. This is the devil's work.
So that's really interesting, you say, the second I kind
of opened myself up to Christ, maybe not the faith,
but Christ itself, the energy of Christ's consciousness, that's when
these things opened up in you. Yes, it's pretty fast.
Speaker 2: So it's that's when they went into operation.
Speaker 1: They opened up. They turned on. So when they turned on,
how did a fourteen year old deal with that in
a time where they didn't have shows like this or
even information like this other than in an occult books
an occult bookstore, or you pick up an.
Speaker 2: Educacy nothing like that where I was raised, exactly.
Speaker 1: You might find an Eggar Casey book in a library
somewhere that's really maybe a Jane Roberts if you're lucky
kind of you know books, or Alice Bailey.
Speaker 2: Interesting that you bring that up, because my greatest source
of help and strength was my Grandma Ruby. And she
read every Edgar Casey book, every Jane Roberts book, al it, yes,
all of it. Her favorite book was When God Was
a Woman.
Speaker 1: That's the name of the book.
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it. Yeah. And she would always tell
me you have a very special mind. If you'll open
it up and use it to its fullest potential, you've
got great things to do. And she was my saving grace.
She was my saving grace because I had no one,
and I'm totally self taught, Alex, I'm taught by spirit.
It just I let flow what needs to flow.
Speaker 1: Wow. I love her name, Grandma Ruby, Grandma Ruby. That's beautiful.
So she was there kind of helping you as a
girl during those years in actuality.
Speaker 2: She had told me that when she was very little,
for four or five years old. When people would come
to visit, she would come and lay her hand on
their knee and prophes on.
Speaker 1: Oh, so she had the gift.
Speaker 2: And this is nineteen fifteen, sixteen rural Missouri, so literally
that they started locking her up when people would come.
So what ended up happening was she could feel and
sense and receive, but she couldn't express anything that she got.
So I believe I get tears in my eyes. I
believe that I'm in some way a product of her,
and in some small way I'm helping do for her
what she wasn't able.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. But at least you had someone, Yes, someone
will help you along the path, along the path, because
sixties and seventies, it was just a starting to crackle
up a little bit here and there.
Speaker 2: My first crackle in this was about fourth grade, so
I guess I was around ten years old. Somebody asked me,
a classmate asked me in the reading section of the room,
what I thought I was going to do for a
living in my life? And I said, you know, I
believe that I have I believe that I have some
special sensitivities and maybe I'm a psychic. I don't know,
but I think maybe I'm going to be like a
psychic psychotherapist. Now I am not Yeah, I am not
a psychotherapist. I am not licensed. I know my boundaries,
and when I get into something where people need professional help,
I refer them that direction. I'm not gonna sit here.
I feel I would be afraid that I would do harm.
Speaker 1: Sure you have ethics, Yes, you have morals? Yes, which
is interesting. So okay, so you start using your gifts.
At what point did you decide to come out and
start doing this publicly? How long did you kind.
Speaker 2: Of Well, when I found the cards, I started using them.
I read from my grandma and she's like, oh, we
don't talk about that in the family. We don't talk
about that. So I was starting to learn tact the.
Speaker 1: Walk in, I'm like, you know, uncle Bob just came
in and like to talk to you about something. You
don't just say that at the family gathering, right, uncle
Bob died five months ago. You don't do that.
Speaker 2: Like in ghosts, you can't say that. You gotta water
it down. Girl. You in danger.
Speaker 1: Girl, you in danger. They don't kill you.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, ethics and morals and I put my I
try to put myself in the position of my clients,
if I were in their shoes, this is what would
be most helpful for me. This is how this is
how I would want to be treated. Mm hmmm, fair enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you receive the messages from spirit?
Speaker 2: Who a lot of different ways? All the Claires, I'm sorry,
all the Claars, All the Claires. Yeah, which clairvoyance, Claire audience,
Claire sentience, Claire Allance, which is clear smell, phantom fragrance,
clear smelling, and Claire Gustan's which is clear taste stop it. Yeah.
I had a reading one time when I first started
doing it for the public. I had two women in
front of me, and I'm like, ladies, I keep smelling
popcorn and tasting popcorn, and I feel like there's some
significance of popcorn. And they're like, oh my god, we
were just talking on the way over here about how
much we love popcorn and that we're out and we
have to stop at the store on the way home
to get some. Well, that made all the difference in
the world, because now they know that I'm tuned in.
Speaker 1: Right, and now that that was the proof the evidence said, like, oh,
something's going on. Here right.
Speaker 2: One of the most powerful stories I have about Claire
Synth Claire Awlans the Claar smell. My mom died in
twenty fourteen, and I came home from work about a
week and a half later, and a fox ran and
jumped across the road in front of my car. And
I'd never I've seen a fox in the wild before,
and I'd never seen a fox fly like Rocky the
Flying squirrel, So it really stuck out. And when I
got home, I said, Mom, you know, I feel like that.
I feel like that fox had something to do with you.
And I looked it up in my animal speak book
and said, anyone with a totem of fox would have
an obsession with their hair. Well, kind of tough. But
then my mother, to the day she died, if someone
rang the doorbell, she'd make sure her hair was in place.
So I felt it was my mom that does fox
was a message from my mom. And then all of
a sudden, Alex, my entire living room filled with the
scent of noxima, and that's my mother. And you know,
a few times before my dad passed away, he would
tell me I woke up in the middle of the
night and the room smelled like noxima. He said that,
uh huh, with no Noxima in the house, so when
mom comes in, it's no sema.
Speaker 1: Interesting. So that so that happens often.
Speaker 2: The smell not as often, but I'll tell you, Uh,
when smell occurs, it's usually a very to me. It
goes right into the soul. It's a deep, deep connection connection.
Speaker 1: So what's your breadth? Like, what's your meat and potatoes?
Way of getting messages?
Speaker 2: Empathy? You feel it, empathic? I feel everything.
Speaker 1: But do you see any images in your mind?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Do you see do you actually? Well? Those are those
are psychic messages. But how about like when you're seeing
a person, do you see the soul on the side? Like, so,
is there anyone but next to me right now? I'm
just curious, of course, Yes, yes, I have people around me. Yes,
of course I could probably name a few of them.
Speaker 2: But I won't. So you see them, I don't see them, Okay,
I feel them.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor
and now back to the show.
Speaker 1: But if you try to tune in, do you see them?
Or how does that work?
Speaker 2: How don't It's very difficult to explain how you see emotionally.
Speaker 1: So when I say see, you actually see something like
an entity of an image of something visual.
Speaker 2: Usually I'm not big unseen entities or spirits. It has happened.
Speaker 1: So you're more feeling.
Speaker 2: Than feeling, Claire Audience. I hear, oh, I hear everything.
Sometimes you know, somebody hasn't been in a relationship for
fourteen years, and I've got abba above my head. Take
a chance, take a chance, Take a chance, take a chance.
I hear songs, I hear movie lines, I hear I
hear voices, I hear emotions. I sense emotions. I do
see some, but feeling, hearing and sensing is really my strongest.
It's difficult to describe how you can feel somebody from
the inside out.
Speaker 1: I kind of understand what you mean. It's a very
deep connection.
Speaker 2: It'll come right up through the center of me.
Speaker 1: It seems like a very deep connection. Do you mind?
Can we do an experiment? Do you mind?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 1: Could you if there's somebody here, can you just kind
of find out who that person is? And I can
tell you yes or no, and like if you again,
we'll cut it out.
Speaker 2: I don't do I am I am not big on
getting names, addresses, phone numbers, lottery numbers, that none of that.
The way that I work, Alex is I'll ask someone
is there someone on the other side that you would
like to connect with? And they say yes, And I say,
I have that person's name, and may I know your
relationship to them? When they give me the name and
the relationship, I feel a vibrational tone go off in
my heart.
Speaker 1: Okay, the frequency yes.
Speaker 2: So then when that matching tone comes in and connects,
I know that that's the person. And then I start
to emote and feel the messages and sensations that are
supposed to be expressed.
Speaker 1: Well, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful way of doing it.
You're unique in the way that you.
Speaker 2: I'm unique in the way that I read to row.
I'm self taught, I'm taught by spirit. I'm unique in
the way that I work in mediumship and Alex, that
is a very important message to everyone is everyone's gifts
are absolutely unique. They're the same gifts, but they're unique
for every person.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean not everyone's going to throw the
basketball the same way, right everyone? I mean.
Speaker 2: In First Corinthians, it talks about the gifts of the
spirit and it talks about how until each person is
given as much as they would will, and that each
person has the same gift given by the same God
for the same work, but it's their own unique expression.
Speaker 1: I got to ask you something that what I find
fascinating with people who judge other people, and especially kind
of the work that you do coming from a Christian faith,
let's say, where I come from Catholic faith, we discuss
that what you do is frowned upon. It's like it's
the devil's work. But yet, if you're made of the
same stuff, if God made you, and God is giving
you these abilities because you have them regardless, how can
they be bad? Like how can they be connected to
the devil?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: You know? And all that kind of stuff. I just
find it. So that's one of the plot holes.
Speaker 2: I believe that it read. I believe that it reverts
back to your intention, because there's a passage in the
Bible that says it's by your works that you're known.
Before there's work, there has to be intention, right, So
it's through the intention that you're known. I don't read
cards and do mediumship to glorify the devil or any
negative force. I do it to help people and to
glorify God. I mean I was given a prophecy at
fourteen that said, go forth and love my people in
my name. That's what I do, is love God's people
in God's name.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. Why do you think you were drawn to
the Christian faith? Because I know you have a lineage
of Amish right in your in your in your line
right distant but still there.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that? Why? Why do you think that in this
life when you came in that this is the the
path you went down and you weren't born Hindu, or
you weren't born mostly, or you weren't born Jewish or
another path. Why do you believe that this was the path?
Because it seems like it's so natural for you.
Speaker 2: I think it's a path that I've repeated over and over.
I think I've had numerous lifetimes in Catholicism, got it,
a lot of lifetimes in France.
Speaker 1: Have you been different? Yes? And you felt How is
it when you go back? Do you feel I.
Speaker 2: Feel at home?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And oddly my French teacher in school was from Kentucky.
Soon class come on a like JORDI, but somehow out
of that when I speak French. People will ask me
if I'm.
Speaker 1: From Toulouse because of the accent.
Speaker 2: Because of the accent, and I've never been to Toulouse
in this life. But when I was in fourth grade again,
fourth grade, we were studying Europe, and the teacher said, okay,
based on its position and based on what you know
about France, what do you think it would what you
think it would be like? What would And I described
the steps up to Sacroqueux and the teacher turns over
a picture and it's the steps up to Socroqueur. Yeah, so, yeah, Throat,
I think it's a I think it was a repeat
of something that I had done over and over and over.
And I'm very strong on spiritual truth and freedom. I'm
more about the douce than the don'ts. And I think
that I came in this time to experience this so
that I could undo all the don'ts that I had
been up against in my life and be more on
the freedom of the duce. The doing of what is right.
Speaker 1: From spirits perspective right now is what is humanity struggling
with the most at this moment in history.
Speaker 2: Humility, that's a good one, connection to their own consciousness
and their respect for one another powerful and very true,
and it shakes me to my core.
Speaker 1: Let's connect with each one of those. So the first
one is being humble, humility. I throughout history, it seems
that humanity is always trying to dominate and trying to
control and trying to conquer, and it's led us to
this point. I feel the energy is a bit changing
now where the divine feminine seems to be coming back
up because it's what we need at this point. We
needed the masculine for a long time. And it's not
to say the masculine is bad, it's just a different energy.
There's a ying and the yang. They have to balance it,
and we've been forcing you know, all this kind of
like concracker, But we need to bring up the divine feminine,
which is what's happening right now. Do you agree with
like that? You feel the same thing that there is
that that is kind of shifting that.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's kind of doing this right now.
Speaker 1: Going back and forth a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the feminine essence is rising, the essence of
spirit is rising.
Speaker 1: Because humanity is always no matter where time of history,
we all have figured out at any time a moment
in history, we're like, yep, we know how the universe works.
It's it's zeus. It's yes, we revolve around the universe
around us. Well, they have figured out no matter where
we are in history, they're never humble enough to understand.
We don't know everything right, And you're always learning and
you're always growing, right, And I think that's one of
the biggest things, one of the bigger problems we have
right right now, right right. So what how about the
second one? I don't remember what the say, Hi, It
was humility, it was discovering our own consciousness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, connecting with connecting with your consciousness and the consciousness
of others. I think technology has done a lot of
damage everybody. If they don't have their cell phone other iPad,
they're kind of lost. And I feel like that's kind
of distracted and taken the sensitivity out of people. Another
example would be video games. I think video games have
deadened people's I mean, oh, I killed fifteen of them,
and it deadens the sentiment of what is actually real.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor,
and now back to the show.
Speaker 2: And creates or has created a disconnect between people and
I believe that God wants us unified and not all
running in fifteen different directions.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing I've been hearing lately is peak humanity?
Have you heard of that term? When peak humanity was
was basically the nineties, that was where we popped. Now
we're downward spiral. I don't believe that. I don't believe
that we've hit peak humanity right.
Speaker 2: I don't either. There's always room to go.
Speaker 1: Up, absolutely, and I think we are going up in
any ways.
Speaker 2: I think when we get there, it's going to be really, really,
really good. But getting there, I think we're probably one
of the hard headed species on the planners in the universe.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're taking our sweet time. Yes. Do you believe
that there's humanity right now? Seems to be going through
a shift, There's no question about it. The energy of humanity,
our consciousness is growing in ways, people are awakening in ways.
Shows like this, have you know a lot of eyeballs
on it, where this wouldn't have had any eyeballs on
it ten years ago, not nearly as many, or fifteen
or twenty years ago, or when you were coming up
in the sixties and seventies. Can you imagine a show
like can you imagine an open conversation like that be insane? Yeah,
you know, we'll be thrown away. We've been throwing in
some sort of cycle, cycle a ward exactly. You know
what I mean. I mean, I remember watching you remember
Michael Jackson's Thriller. Do you remember the opening, the opening disclaimer?
There is an opening disc this is how crazy people were.
This is eighty what eighty four?
Speaker 2: I think it was when I think so when.
Speaker 1: Thriller showed up, it said, this is not part of
the occult, this is not devil like it was something
along like, this is not because of zombies. Because of zombies,
can you imagine?
Speaker 2: And now we watch them on television series all the time,
right walking downing one another and doing all kinds of
crossing that baby all day.
Speaker 1: You know it ten to ten season or whatever it is,
amount of seasons of it. It's one of the biggest
shows ever. It's it's fascinating how humanity goes. But so
you do agree that humanity is awakening and going do you?
How do you how do you foresee us evolving as
a general statement over the next few years, Because we've
had a rough five years. This has been since twenty twenty,
it's been up a boy m been a wild ride.
Speaker 2: I wish I knew the timing on when and how
things are going to be. I think there's going to
be some pain involved with this, but ultimately I feel
like people are It's like nine to eleven when the
buildings fell, everyone came together. I believe that it's going
to in sense, maybe we're going to be forced to
all come together and be unified. One thing that really
concerns me is I think we're coming to a place
where we're not going to know what isn't isn't true?
Speaker 1: Oh, I think we're getting to that place real quick.
Speaker 2: Very quickly.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So when you don't understand what's true or not,
you have to with your eyes. You have to go in.
You have to go in.
Speaker 2: That's why it's so important for people to connect with
their consciousness and to find their own manifestation, an expression
of their own spiritual gifts.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because like I'll look at an AI video
and I have a trained eye being in the film
industry so long, so I can kind of sense and
I look at it, I'm like, oh, I can see
there's little things that don't make it human. But to
the untrained eye, a lot of people are starting to
buy a lot of this stuff. And this is just now.
In six months, in a year or two in five years,
this stuff is going to be so good. It's going
to be like you and me. All the nuances of
your eyes twitching, you're moving, all the things that make
us human are going to be emulated. But when you
look at those videos, there is an energy associated to them.
In my opinion, I'd love to hear you what you
think that there is an energy to these videos and
you look at them, you're like, you just sense that
that's not real. There's a deadness to them, right, because
it doesn't have soul. You know, like when you film something,
there is energy in the filming of it. Yes, the
person filming it and the person in front of it,
there is something there. I've been fooled a couple times,
especially like with the when it's the security camera footage,
like there's a giant bear and this old ladies feeding
the bear and the babies in front, and I'm like,
is that an alligator coming up? Like and it gets
so ridiculous, like it can't be real, but man, it
kind of fooled me just yeah, a little for a
second or two, But there is no there's no energy, would.
Speaker 2: You agree, Yes, absolutely, the energy.
Speaker 1: So there is energy to all of that. So let
me ask you, with all, with everything that's going on,
what part of the future with humanity do you think
technology will play Because it's not going anywhere. AI is
only going to get bigger and more part of our lives,
very much like the Internet did when it came out
in the nineties. It's in every aspect of our lives.
AI is going to do that much faster and much
more all inclusive, I believe. Spiritually, where do you think
this is going to How is this going to help
us or hurt us?
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure, but I if I had to
say something, I sense that it's going to It's going
to help in a lot of ways, but it's also
going to lead us to a sense of emptiness. And
that emptiness, I think is what's going to help open
people's hearts and get them back into the human feeling,
sensing emotional part.
Speaker 1: Again, is it kind of the reason why people are
going back to vinyl and going back to tapes. They're
going back to tapes, audio tapes. They're going back to VHS,
which it's insane. Don't go back to VHS. Please, I've
worked in a video store for a long time. Don't
do this. But they want the tax stile. They want
to feel again, they want to hold something. Is it's
a way to connect to something more organic than just
a file in the cloud somewhere. Is that kind of
where we're going.
Speaker 2: And my sister, like, my sister says, I don't want
to I don't want to do this to read a book.
I want to hold the book. I want to smell
the book. I want to turn the pages. I want
to feel it.
Speaker 1: So the technology that's advancing so quickly, there'll be aspects
of it that we will incorporate in our lives. But
there'll be aspects that will reject. Yes, because we want
to connect to something.
Speaker 2: There'll be aspects that some people reject, some people embrace.
Some people well once people won't. AI's great. I mean
I use AI to perfect my writing. That's the only
way that I use a Yeah, I'll write something and
say clean it up, and it cleans.
Speaker 1: It up and cleans it up. It's still your voice,
it's still your soul. It's just like it's an editor.
It's essentially an editor for you, like a book editor. Right,
It's uh, it's a weird and wrecky place.
Speaker 2: Where yeah, we're right on a teetering right on a
press up us seems like.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that everyone who's been incarnated now at
this time did it by choice because they wanted to
be front row to arguably the greatest show in the
universe at this point?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, yeah, uh yes. I don't know what
else is about that.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you, what do you think is
the greatest misconception people have about the work that you do?
Speaker 2: That it's up the devil. Well, there's that, of course,
and that I'm a cell phone to the other side,
and that, well, I guess the biggest and the hardest
part of it, Alex is people wanting it the way
they want it. I've had people, I've had very disturbing
experiences with people who are having connections with a loved
one from the other side, and because of their own
negative emotions involved, they will not I had a woman
tell me I'm not believing anything you say to me
until you tell me one specific word, and I'm like, ma'am,
your husband is telling you that you had a fight
ten minutes before he died, and he wants you to
know that that doesn't exist anywhere except in your mind
and your heart, and you need to let it go
so he can connect with you and that you can
be connected on different planes. She got up and walked
out of my house because it didn't come with one
single word. One of the things that I try to
let people know is come in with an open mind
and listen closely, because sometimes it's the little things that
are said in a reading that are the biggest proof.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor,
and now back to the show.
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that, yeah, I picked up the
fact that they had an argument ten minutes before he
passed away from a drug overdose, and I was absolutely accurate.
Yes she's angry, Yes she's carrying it. That meant nothing.
She wanted to hear the exact certain word, and hey,
if you want to prove me wrong, you will.
Speaker 1: What is also the biggest misconception people have of life
in the other side from your understanding with dealing with
these spirit.
Speaker 2: A lot of people believe that it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: Well, there's that there's that.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to answer that question. The first
thing that comes to me is that everything that happens
in spirit happens in order. Just because they don't come
through today in a reading doesn't mean that they're not there,
or they're angry at you, or they don't want to
talk to you, or I'm not psychic andnot give it
as a medium. It just they didn't get a hall
passed today.
Speaker 1: They just didn't show up.
Speaker 2: They didn't show up, or they didn't.
Speaker 1: Want to show up.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, I have to prepare for readings, and
the person who's having the reading really should prepare for
the reading as well. Clear your heart, get right down
your questions, get a point of focus, what's most important
for you to talk about.
Speaker 1: They also that people always have this thing that they
attach attach humanness to the spirit world, like, Okay, his
uncle Bob, what's his uncle Bob doing today? Is he
like on the golf course? Does he have a job?
Does he have a cool apartment or a mansion somewhere?
Like they throw these things out there because that's the
only way their brains can kind of wrap around what's
happening on the other side. But from my understanding, spirit
is omnipresent, so they can have multiple Like that's why
Jesus is that everybody's your death experience, you know, because
he could be at multiple places at the same time
because his oversoul, if you will, and the same thing
happens with us. Is that correct? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I had a woman come through one time and say,
now I can be anywhere I want, whenever I want,
and as many places as I want at the same time. Interesting, Like, wow,
that's incredible.
Speaker 1: Well, it seems to be like the Walking Masters here.
I've studied a lot of Eastern Eastern thought, Eastern philosophies
and Yogic philosophies, and that the Yogi's talked about biolocation,
that they could be in two places at the same time.
In the three dimensional world, that's kind of where you
can be Like, you know, you can't do four hundred
of them, but you can maybe do one or two
if your skills get to a certain place or a
vibration frequency. Does that all makes sense to you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sense absolutely what. I'm not there yet, but I'm working
on it.
Speaker 1: I'm actually in the other room running the cameras.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's pretty amazing, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Well, you've done how many readings in your lifetime?
Speaker 2: Oh, Alex, thousands, thousands, thousands.
Speaker 1: What is one that just sticks out that is like
either the most the strangest, the funniest, or the most transformative,
or maybe all three if you can think of the stories.
Speaker 2: The first time that to me is I was reading
for a fellow and he wanted to He didn't like
his job and he wanted to start. He had a
dream of starting a pizza place. And I said, six
blocks to the east and three blocks to the south
on the corner is the perfect space. And he went
and there was six blocks east and three blocks south
was a place for rent. And he opened a pizza
store and it was hugely successful for the duration.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean pizza's good pizzas. So that was a
success to it.
Speaker 2: And a funny story is at that same house, I
was doing a psychic readings for a group of people
and every time the door would open, there would be
this little face peeking through at me. And when it
was the day was over, the lady came in and
she says, I know you're tired, but he is dying
to ask you a question. This little four year old
three year old guy and he comes running in and
jumps up on my lap and he says, mister psychic man,
did you know I like pickles? That was his question,
and you know that was as important to him as
what anybody else received that day. So I'm like, no,
I did not know you like pickles, but now I do.
Speaker 1: So it's a leading question. Yes, if you're gonna ask
a psychic that question, like what's my favorite food, that's
the way you present that question if you're testing them,
not like, right, do you know the pickles are my
favorite food?
Speaker 2: And right?
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 2: Now, thank you for letting me right, will bless his
little heart.
Speaker 1: So with all the craziness that's happening in the world,
and with all the changes are happening, what is, in
your opinion, the best way people can kind of prepare
them cells for the massive awakenings and changes of consciousness
that are happening and will continue to happen for the
years to come. What can we do because it can
be overwhelming the change. There's so much change, so fast.
I mean AI is a perfect example. It's changing monthly weekly,
I mean things that happened three months ago. You're like, well,
that's old. It's fascinating. So that's just one aspect of it.
But there's so much changes going on. What do you
think with me?
Speaker 2: I'm really working on not reacting because if you react,
they've got you and going to that sill, still soft
place inside and Okay, this is what I'm feeling, this
is what my reaction wants to do. But what is
it that I'm supposed to do? What is best for
me to do? What am I supposed to be feeling
about this? How am I supposed to act on this? Again,
it's that connection to the consciousness instead of just going
off and.
Speaker 1: Reacting, it's about going in. It's always about going within and.
Speaker 2: This is the hardest place to go for a lot
of people. It brought a lot of trauma to the surface.
Of course, all this stuff was anything that was dormant
or shoved down. It brought it right to the top.
Now you're hearing trauma, trauma, trauma, trauma, PTSD. These types
of terms are being thrown around even more than ever.
Speaker 1: If Spirit could talk directly to the audience listening right
now and who'll be listening in the future, what message
would Spirit like to give One of.
Speaker 2: The biggest blocks with people and their ability to connect
with others. On the other side, is emotion. Not the
physical things that happened, the disagreements, the upsets, the discords
at the point of death, none of that exists. It's
the emotions of the living, the grief, the anger, the
fear that prevent people from connecting. But feel yourself to
return to your heart, become reconnected to your source and
grow your own consciousness. Ask for clear discernment, and take
the necessary actions when it feels to be the correct
time to do so. Exude love, joy, peace, be patient
and gentle and kind with one another.
Speaker 1: Beautifully said, Beautifully said, Where Terry, Where can people find
out more about you and the amazing work you're doing
in the world.
Speaker 2: I am at Terry Yoder dot com. That's t E
R R y y O d e r dot com.
You can get my phone number from there. You can
schedule appointments there. I'm doing appointments. I also have spiritual
classes coming up in January. So I do teach to
row and I teach people in a way that they
connect with their own intuition and read the cards their
own way. There's not one way to do it. If
there's eleven billion people on the planet whatever, there's eleven
billion pathways. So I try to tune in and allow
people to grow and develop in their own way. So,
Terry Yoda dot com.
Speaker 1: When you say to row the tarot, you say to row,
But is it to row or tarot card?
Speaker 2: I say to row because I'm a French major.
Speaker 1: Got it, okay, So I'll go along with it to row. Cards.
To my understanding, Toro cards are you know, you shuffle them,
you put them out, and then whatever you flip you
kind of like that's what spirit is trying to talk
to whoever's reading them. So you get the death card,
the you know, the cups card or whatever the you know,
the Golden Cups or anything like that is there is
that kind of the way it works. And then if
you're a psychic, you can actually read into it a
little bit more.
Speaker 2: How does that work when someone comes in? Well, I
don't come in anymore. But when I do a reading,
I'm make the cards to clear all the messages off,
and then I ask the person to focus on what
they want to know, and then I mix in proxy
for them and I ask them to tell me when
to stop. That's how I get their interaction when they
tell me to stop. I lay the cards out on
the table. Each position represents a certain facture of lives
so present, present, surroundings, goal and destiny hopes, which is
dream spheres, distant past, recent past, near future, near future, progressed,
near future, surroundings progressed, emotions, and final outcome. Depending on
what card falls in, what position and closest to one another,
it tells a story.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor,
and now back to the show.
Speaker 2: So a lot of times the cards become a storyboard
for me. And then as I'm looking at the car cards,
I'll be drawn to something like I'll be drawn to
the bull on the face of the cart may sign
of Tarus. May I'll be drawn to the easterlies. Okay,
March April time period. Just things come to life and
story comes up, and I let it loose.
Speaker 1: I tell it. So if somebody who's going to do
their own, can they read themselves.
Speaker 2: Some people are very good at reading themselves. I am
not good at reading myself. I'm too invested in my stuff.
But yeah, there are people who do read for themselves.
It's a good way to start and tarot is a
good way to start to develop and to develop your
intuition and your connection with yourself.
Speaker 1: Before we close there, would you be open to offering
kind of a brief blessing or message for everyone watching
moving forward.
Speaker 2: It's my hope that everyone finds their way, that everyone
sees their direction, that everyone finds their love, their joy,
their hope, their peace, and that they share it.
Speaker 1: Terry has been such a pleasure having you on the show.
