Speaker 1: Are you rethinking your purpose in life? Being centered in
Speaker 1: a strong spiritual connection is more important now than ever.
Speaker 1: Hi On Grand Blancanship, hypnotherapist, international instructor and author. Each episode,
Speaker 1: I'll share my experiences with guiding spiritual regression clients into
Speaker 1: the afterlife and the sole lessons gained, prompting you to

Speaker 1: I want you to know that you're here by design,
Speaker 1: not by accident. You are not alone, You were loved.
Speaker 1: You are here on purpose for a purpose. When you
Speaker 1: stand in your truth and fulfill your purpose, you support
Speaker 1: others in fulfilling theirs. If this intrigues you, stay tuned
Speaker 1: in as we explore. Hey, everybody brand blankenship here. So
Speaker 1: today we're going to talk about something that's really important
Speaker 1: and I want to share with you. Well, let me
Speaker 1: just say this episode is about status versus the soul. Okay,
Speaker 1: earthly status versus the soul, And I'm going to share
Speaker 1: with you one of my case studies from a Brian
Speaker 1: Weiss book. I met Brian Weiss at I took his course.
Speaker 1: I was already a practicing hypnotherapist working with Michael Newton
Speaker 1: and the Newton Institute setting up, you know, the institute,
Speaker 1: And I took his course to take a vacation. He
Speaker 1: was on Oprah a couple of times that year, which
Speaker 1: every time he was on Oprah, my phone was ringing
Speaker 1: off the hook. And I took his course to have
Speaker 1: a break and to get to meet him and learn
Speaker 1: from him. So when he invited me to share one
Speaker 1: of my case studies in his book, it was really
Speaker 1: an honor. And this is the book. It's called Miracles Happen,
Speaker 1: and my chapter, my case study, is called Embracing Equality.
Speaker 1: All right, so let me let me just make an
Speaker 1: adjustment here. Embracing Equality. So this story is about my
Speaker 1: client's past life on a plantation in Virginia and how
Speaker 1: that affects current life beliefs, perceptions, how that can be
Speaker 1: similar to current life perceptions and beliefs, and also how
Speaker 1: it can be different. All right. So I just you know,
Speaker 1: the world assigns status, you know, in a hierarchy on earth,
Speaker 1: based on wealth and certain other factors. Yet the soul
Speaker 1: truth is what carries true status. Okay, It's the sole
Speaker 1: status that really elevates us in our incarnations and in
Speaker 1: the spirit world. And this the soul is beyond race,
Speaker 1: it's beyond class, and it's beyond position regardless. Okay, And
Speaker 1: that goes for every session that I've ever done over
Speaker 1: all of these years, but this one is near and
Speaker 1: dear to me. This one is the story of my
Speaker 1: client who she went to a lifetime on a plantation.
Speaker 1: And I know this is a sensitive subject matter, so
Speaker 1: I really want to I want to make sure you
Speaker 1: understand that we're coming from a place of equality and
Speaker 1: healing and the soul perception beyond earth, and what the
Speaker 1: soul experiences by choosing these various incarnations at these specific
Speaker 1: times in history, and how that connects to current life beliefs.
Speaker 1: So my client, her name was Gabriella, and in current
Speaker 1: life she's a doctor, and she came to me because
Speaker 1: she had test taking anxiety that had planked her her
Speaker 1: entire life. So she had issues with test taking and
Speaker 1: the nervousness that would come up even though she over prepared,
Speaker 1: she would prepare, over prepare, and still the moment that
Speaker 1: she sat to take that test, the anxiety came up.
Speaker 1: So she wanted to understand that. And she mentioned some
Speaker 1: other things as well, but I'll come back around to that.
Speaker 1: So we go into the past life that's going to
Speaker 1: help her understand this test taking anxiety. And she is
Speaker 1: a five year old enslaved girl on a plantation in Virginia.
Speaker 1: Her name is Sugar, and she's standing in the middle
Speaker 1: of a cotton field with her mother, and her mother's
Speaker 1: picking cotton and she's standing there with her and threadbear clothes.
Speaker 1: So my client's noticing her hairs in disarray. She's wearing
Speaker 1: the threadbear clothes in that lifetime. And this is Jamestown,
Speaker 1: Virginia in the eighteen hundreds, mid eighteen hundreds, So Sugar
Speaker 1: is the same age as Lily. Lily is the plantation
Speaker 1: owner's daughter, and the two of them are playmates because
Speaker 1: Lily's an only child and so is Sugar, and the
Speaker 1: two are playmates. And the plantation owner goes so far
Speaker 1: as to allow Sugar to be educated along with Lily.
Speaker 1: This was frowned upon, This was not allowed due to
Speaker 1: social norms back then, and the plantation owner did this secretly.
Speaker 1: And you know, back then, you were educated. You brought
Speaker 1: the teachers into the plantation. You brought the teachers to
Speaker 1: you if you were a certain class, versus sending your
Speaker 1: school to a group classroom. So it was really just
Speaker 1: Lily and Sugar in this classroom, which becomes relevant later on.
Speaker 1: So Lily and Sugar were playmates. Sugar became educated alongside
Speaker 1: alongside Lily, and she was smart. Sugar was really smart.
Speaker 1: She loved learning. Everything she learned, she would go back
Speaker 1: and you know, repeat back to her grandmother and to
Speaker 1: her mother. She was so excited that she was getting
Speaker 1: to learn things and do things. And so as she
Speaker 1: got older, she was encouraged to continue her education, and
Speaker 1: she was encouraged to go to medical school, and her
Speaker 1: the plantation owner, helped get her into college and into
Speaker 1: medical school. So this during this time, he also released
Speaker 1: her and gave her her freedom. There was a lot happening,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of change was in the air
Speaker 1: at that time. But women, white women certainly were not
Speaker 1: going to medical school easily, and you know, it was
Speaker 1: a challenge for this woman as well for Sugar. So
Speaker 1: as as she got older, she went on to attend
Speaker 1: medical school. She did that, she succeeded and became one
Speaker 1: of the first female black doctors in Virginia, one of
Speaker 1: the first Okay, and then she opened her practice in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And she got married, she had children, and
Speaker 1: her whole life she fought for people's rights, women's rights,
Speaker 1: people's rights regardless of race, gender, or color. That's what
Speaker 1: she fought for. And so that's why the story is
Speaker 1: so important, and it's about equality. Equality is important. It
Speaker 1: is a theme that happens during all eras of our incarnation.
Speaker 1: So during all times in history, while some are trying
Speaker 1: to suppress freedom, there are others that were born trying
Speaker 1: to fight for freedom and advocate for freedom and regardless,
Speaker 1: you know, advocate for rights, regardless of skin color and gender.
Speaker 1: And so Gabriella is my client's name, and Gabriella Uh
Speaker 1: in current life she is blonde haired, Caucasian, blue eyed, sparkly,
Speaker 1: bubbly personality. Like when she came into my office for
Speaker 1: the session. This was many years ago, but I remember
Speaker 1: it and she just had the bluest eyes and she
Speaker 1: was just really bubbly and upbeat. But her clothing was
Speaker 1: really sparkly too. And that's in a huge contrast to
Speaker 1: the past life on the plantation where you know she
Speaker 1: was she did not have those clothes. You know, as
Speaker 1: she grew up and as she became a doctor and
Speaker 1: could buy her own clothes, that was really important to
Speaker 1: her too, to be able to wear nice things and
Speaker 1: present herself, you know, wearing nice things. And also in
Speaker 1: current life in her medical practice, Gabriella, you know, advocate
Speaker 1: advocates for equality regardless of gender, regardless of skin color,
Speaker 1: like that is a theme that's been carried forward. And Gabriella,
Speaker 1: when we were talking about the session, she told me
Speaker 1: she said, every time, ever since I was a young girl,
Speaker 1: whenever I would pass a plantation, I would just cry
Speaker 1: out for the people. I have this deep, strong emotion
Speaker 1: for the people that lived on those plantations years ago.
Speaker 1: Not only that, she has an affinity to Williamsburg, Virginia.
Speaker 1: She's taken vacations there, she became engaged to her husband there.
Speaker 1: I believe her parents her parents, I know her parents
Speaker 1: went there, but I think they were also engaged there
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. And so a lot of her
Speaker 1: sole group members were in both lives. They were in
Speaker 1: the lifetime that you know, they were the ones that
Speaker 1: help support her with moving forward being a doctor during
Speaker 1: those those times, and they're in her life again today
Speaker 1: and during the life review, this theme came up constantly,
Speaker 1: standing up for fairness and for people's rights right, and
Speaker 1: so Sugar proved that women could do anything, regardless of money,
Speaker 1: regardless of race, and as a soul, her soul grew
Speaker 1: through this experience and the experience of living both sides
Speaker 1: of equality, because she knew what it felt like to
Speaker 1: be discriminated against in that past life and also in
Speaker 1: current life as a female and being in the past life,
Speaker 1: especially being discriminated because of the color of her skin
Speaker 1: and being a female, and you know, opportunities were not
Speaker 1: available that you know, a lot of doors have opened
Speaker 1: since that time because of women like Sugar, because of
Speaker 1: people liked the plantation owner that didn't agree with things
Speaker 1: that were happening in society. So he helped to educate
Speaker 1: this woman, this young girl on this you know, on
Speaker 1: the side. He did it quietly, but he made it happen.
Speaker 1: And then he opened doors to help get her into
Speaker 1: college and help her advance that way. And she didn't
Speaker 1: let discriminations stop her. I mean, when I think about
Speaker 1: the obstacles that Sugar went through during that lifetime, these
Speaker 1: are things I can't even imagine growing up the way
Speaker 1: that she did, and then being introduced into this other
Speaker 1: world and then going to college, going to medical school,
Speaker 1: starting a practice in Washington, DC, Like, these are just
Speaker 1: things that I can't imagine. And this gets us now
Speaker 1: to the test taking anxiety. So her test taking anxiety
Speaker 1: came my client's current life. Test taking anxiety came from
Speaker 1: the past life as Sugar, when she sat in a
Speaker 1: classroom of male students, being the only female, being the
Speaker 1: only black woman, and this is the first time she
Speaker 1: sat in a room of people of other students. Before
Speaker 1: it had been like a one room schoolhouse on the
Speaker 1: plantation with her and her playmate who she knew. So
Speaker 1: that's where the test taking anxiety came from being timed
Speaker 1: and just experiencing all of the new experiences and the
Speaker 1: pressure she felt to succeed, but she didn't let that
Speaker 1: stop her and she did it. She succeeded regardless. So
Speaker 1: having that understanding helped my client, Gabriella, neutralize her test
Speaker 1: taking anxiety in current life that had been with her
Speaker 1: since she was a young girl and in college and
Speaker 1: when she was taking the state boards and all the
Speaker 1: things that she did to advance her career in current life.
Speaker 1: So you have two females, oh, a Caucasian female in
Speaker 1: current life, a black female in past life, both experiencing
Speaker 1: some discrimination along the way, yet succeeding despite that and
Speaker 1: being able to look out for people, you know, advocating
Speaker 1: for those others so that they get they're able to
Speaker 1: enjoy their rights as humans on this planet during all
Speaker 1: of these time periods, right, because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: discrimination that still takes place and we know that. So
Speaker 1: as a soul, that's what this client was experiencing. And
Speaker 1: then also my client in current life being born into
Speaker 1: a family of means and wealth, so that was not
Speaker 1: an issue for her in current life. You know, she
Speaker 1: had she and she grew up with material things, where
Speaker 1: on the plantation Sugar didn't. Sugar did have some hand
Speaker 1: me downs sometimes from Lily, the plantation owner's daughter, you know,
Speaker 1: but you know, that's very different and it's a different
Speaker 1: mindset that you grow up grow up with. But my
Speaker 1: client in current life, she doesn't, she doesn't judge. She's
Speaker 1: non judgmental, and that's what that's really the deeper message
Speaker 1: of the story, you know, is looking beyond skin, looking
Speaker 1: beyond the exterior and not judging. And you know, because
Speaker 1: life may assign a status through social position, through you know,
Speaker 1: all the trappings that come along with that, but the
Speaker 1: soul status is the true status. That's the true status.
Speaker 1: And the story invites you to step beyond and really
Speaker 1: identify and recognize equality and spiritual purpose of every life.
Speaker 1: All souls are part of the divine plan. All souls
Speaker 1: are part of the Divine plan, and there's a spiritual
Speaker 1: purpose within every life. And the chose that life to
Speaker 1: incarnate into to experience whatever it is that that life
Speaker 1: and that status on the earthplane is going to offer.
Speaker 1: And so human identity can often conceal the sole truth.
Speaker 1: To think about that when you're out and about out
Speaker 1: in the world and you see people, it'll make you
Speaker 1: look at people a little differently. And you know, regression
Speaker 1: can also reveal these deeper truths through all lifetimes, and
Speaker 1: we talk about that, you know, on the show, we
Speaker 1: talk about that a lot. But you know that she
Speaker 1: also had other lifetimes that I didn't include in the book.
Speaker 1: There were just is not enough room and sometimes you
Speaker 1: can dilute the story by sharing too many other stories.
Speaker 1: But she had other lifetimes where she was an advocate
Speaker 1: for equality, and that's a theme that she's been working on.
Speaker 1: So the takeaway is, consider how easy it is to
Speaker 1: judge someone by their appearance, and if you're doing that,
Speaker 1: maybe take another look and look a little deeper and
Speaker 1: remember that the soul, all souls carry this equality and
Speaker 1: truth for equal growth through all of our incarnations, not
Speaker 1: just the ones of status and wealth. In fact, that
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with soul growth. Sometimes that can
Speaker 1: stunt the soul growth because you don't step into your
Speaker 1: truth because of status. You feel like you can't step
Speaker 1: outside of the social norms. But the plantation owner, he
Speaker 1: took that chance. He helped this woman, this young girl, helped
Speaker 1: her as she became a woman. He saw in her
Speaker 1: her ability, her ability to learn, her desire to learn,
Speaker 1: and her eagerness to learn, and he helped her as
Speaker 1: much as he could. And then she went on to
Speaker 1: build her practice. And so the client died at I
Speaker 1: believe she was about eighty five, eighty five, eighty six
Speaker 1: years old, and her body simply gave out, But her
Speaker 1: whole life she was an advocate for others. And yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's also about compassion, destiny, hidden spiritual threads that
Speaker 1: are connecting one life to another, and that carry us
Speaker 1: through all of these lifetimes and remembering that lifetimes on earth,
Speaker 1: earthly status is temporary. Earthly status is temporary. It's part
Speaker 1: of the soul's journey. It's rooted in the soul's perse
Speaker 1: for what they're here to experience. And in this case,
Speaker 1: it was about equality and growth, soul growth and really
Speaker 1: being a trendsetter, stepping beyond, and not only stepping beyond
Speaker 1: and being there for herself, you know, doing improving her
Speaker 1: life through her education and starting her practice, but also
Speaker 1: using her position to help others. So she took what
Speaker 1: she had and used that to help others, the same
Speaker 1: way the plantation owner did that for her right and
Speaker 1: then in current life, the client Gabriella, she does the same,
Speaker 1: but she has a deeper understanding of where that thread
Speaker 1: came from and why that continues to influence her today
Speaker 1: because it's part for soul's purpose that's carried through many lifetimes.
Speaker 1: It's a theme or soul is working on. So you
Speaker 1: can learn about something by having it, by not having it.
Speaker 1: You can learn about equality by being discriminated against. You
Speaker 1: can learn about equality by being the one who discriminates,
Speaker 1: you know, in lifetimes, but in this case, she really
Speaker 1: has compassion and love for humans and others and really
Speaker 1: stands up for others who can't fight for themselves or
Speaker 1: helps others who are trying to fight for themselves, so
Speaker 1: that hopefully we can get to the place where we
Speaker 1: don't have to do that anymore, where things are more equal.
Speaker 1: And you know, it all starts in those lifetimes where
Speaker 1: we have those people that stand up and advocate for
Speaker 1: others because that's their soul's truth and that's their soul's purpose.
Speaker 1: So you have that dichotomy as well with the plantation
Speaker 1: owner who had wealth, and he did things with that
Speaker 1: wealth to support others, to bring them up, and then
Speaker 1: he freed. He gave her her freedom in many many ways,
Speaker 1: her education unlocked the door to freedom, and she was
Speaker 1: able to help others along the way. So that is
Speaker 1: why this is one of my favorite stories, and that's
Speaker 1: why I'm very honored to be able to include that
