Close your eyes and imagine.

What if the things in life that cause us the greatest pain, the things that bring us grief, are challenges, challenges designed to help us grow to ultimately become what we were always meant to be.

Oh, so thank you, Ryan, that was a nice introduction. Thank you. It's really good to have you here. This is, you know, well, this is a topic we like to talk about, all the, all the big stuff. And people have heard about, you know, the afterlife. We've heard a little bit about reincarnation, but most people may not be familiar with the term life, between lives. So could you explain to people, first of all, what does that actually mean? Sure, we call that in the research that we've done, what we found out is that

that we're God creates us is in over there and back, what we call home. Now our true home is is heaven or the afterlife, and we're just down here is soul having experience. So this body we have is just temporary. Where we're having experience, we're learning to grow to be more, sometimes for some people very slowly, and sometimes for other people very quickly, about being better, being more loving, kind, compassionate human beings. Soul thing. We're finding out, it's all about soul having experience.

like, I found out that I came down here to learn kindness. In other words, my number one thing was to learn selflessness kindness,

We feel like we've been buried. But what if, like a seed. We've been planted, and having been planted, we grow to become a mighty tree. Now open your eyes. Open your eyes to this way of viewing life. Come with me as we explore your true, infinite, eternal nature. This is grief to growth, and I am your host. Brian Smith, Hey there everyone. Welcome to grief, to growth, where we delve into life's profound questions, exploring the realms of existence, loss and the mysteries that lie beyond I'm your host. Brian Smith, and today we have an exceptional guest whose experiences and insights promise to really enlighten and inspire us. Join us as Regan forsten, a distinguished clinical hypnotherapist and former board member of the Michael Newton Institute, which is an organization dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the afterlife. He's certified in quantum healing hypnosis technique through Dolores Cannon school, Reagan has guided countless individuals through transformative journeys, including life between lives and past life regressions. And if you don't know what life between lives are, we're that's what we're going to talk about today. His spiritual path was ignited by an out of body experience, by an out of body experience at the age of four, which set the stage for a life rich and spiritual exploration. So in today's episodes, what we plan to cover is the afterlife. The Afterlife unveiled insights that come from over 70,000 life between life sessions conducted worldwide, and this reveal what happens after death and during that interlude before we reincarnate. We're going to talk about Reagan's own journey to the afterlife, as he chronicled in his book, three hours, 33 minutes in heaven and the profound lessons that he returned with. We'll talk about healing through hypnosis, how techniques like quantum healing hypnosis can address physical ailments and emotional traumas by accessing altered states of consciousness. And we'll talk about practical spirituality, because we know we like to be practical here. So we're going to talk about methods to activate your god switch, enabling a deeper connection with the Divine through practices such as hypnosis, dreams and soul travel. So this conversation transcends the concept of the afterlife. It's really about embracing intentional living, finding healing and understanding the soul's expansive journey. And remember that our dialog doesn't end here. After the episode, I invite you to join our community at grief to growth.com/community where we continue to talk about things like this and this episode itself, so that like to welcome Regan forsten.

and I realized that's what I've been doing. So I asked them, I said that I had a council of Azaan. Think I can picture Ming the main, my main guy that I was talking to. He was Chinese looking gentleman late. See, is who I call him. And I said, How am I doing, you know? And they said, Well, we're really proud, Reagan, that you're doing. You're what you said down came down here to do you're doing pretty good and and that made me feel good. But then I said, Is there anything I'm missing, you know, like I'm and I'm trying to be a good person. I know it's been difficult for me, because I remember when I was younger, I was a lot more selfish than I am now, and I've always been kind of aware of my selfishness and been trying to, you know, consciously work on it, you know that way? And they said, Yeah, you're missing one thing. Reagan. I said, What's that? And he says, You could be a better grandfather. And I, when they said that I did, when I when I came out of my session of being on the afterlife for over three hours, I didn't even remember that. But when I listen to my recording, because when I help people have this experience, we record it all, because so much happens that you'll remember the highlights, but there's a lot of really golden nuggets that are in there. And so by listening to it again, so when I listen to it again, and they said that, and I realized, wow, I says, I have nine grandchildren, but I never really had grandparents, so to speak. You know, we just went there on Thanksgiving and said hi, and that's it. Was about it. I was never very close to him, so that was my role model. So that's what I was being, you know. But what I found out since I took their advice, oh my gosh, in the last seven, eight years now, since my experience there, I've developed some pretty good relationships with my grandchildren, and I found out the grandparents are pretty important in kids lives, you know. So the things you find out over there, it's like, okay to do this in an organized way so it doesn't get too confusing for people. First, I'll explain that we found out that this process of visiting the afterlife, the place we go in between lives, is a natural process. That's why it's 80% successful on the very first try, for most people that have not experienced it. And then some people come need to come back for a second or a third. I've had a couple in nine years now. I've had two people come back for four sessions, and then they had the blow out, beautiful experience. Most of those are guys that have trouble. It's been fine. We're we have a little harder time, kind of just, we. You know, getting deep, you know, being vulnerable and allowing it to happen. The process we use is simple. It's the process of falling asleep, which you do every night. People are just listening to my voice, and as I suggest to them, that they're, you know, they can feel the tension in their head and their neck and their shoulders leaving their body, and they're just relaxing. And we go through every part of the body, and that's what happens when you sleep. You You don't just reach over again to switch and fall asleep. It's the process of going down and down and down, and where that happens is at the bottom of the breath. Now, people have never thought of this before, because we just breathe normally. We've never thought about this process of the breath. When you get down to the very bottom of the breath and people, I want you to realize this now, notice that there's a moment of hesitation before you take another breath. Well, in that little split second before you take another breath, there's nothing, no muscles are moving in your body. Your body isn't having to work at all for that little second, you can just feel the relaxation and right it there was your body has no stress on it at all. It's relaxed. Each time you get down there, the body goes a little deeper, you know, little deeper. So what I do is I have people stay in that special this will help people have trouble getting to sleep too is you just watch the breath you get all the way down to the bottom. And you just stay there, so peaceful and quiet and relaxing for three or four seconds, and then you breathe in again. And and I tell people, it says, just, just feel your body begin to relax, as it does when you get down to bond the rest. So the induction we use is a little longer, actually a lot longer than most hypnotic inductions, like if someone came to me to stop smoking and lose weight, all I do is I do a quick, you know, five or 10 minute induction, just to get them kind of semi relaxed. And that's when the subconscious becomes to the surface as much as the conscious mind, and you can talk to it and make changes. Well this process to get to that part where you kind of have like a god switch, where you can access all the memories of everything you've ever done before in this life and in other lifetimes, and your memories of being in the in between. In other words, that's why we call it life between lives is is taking people to that place we go, heaven or the afterlife, whatever you want to call it, where we go in before we decide to or not to decide, as we found out in our research, because some people decide they're done with that and they're just going to continue their work in the afterlife, which there's 1000s of things to do over there. It's so busy, it's like a beehive behind the scenes over there, Brian of all the things that souls can do in the other dimensions or other in heaven and so forth. But so that's the thing with reincarnation. Now, reincarnation is the even though we just have one life with many bodies, in the other way of looking at it from our regular consciousness, yeah, reincarnation is real that we come back time and time and time again.

And sometimes these sessions are worth the price of admission for someone just to realize, to experience a past life. And then they go, Wow, now I understand myself more. You know, I understand where I came from, kind of more like what my experiences were in other lifetimes in a session. The way we get to the afterlife is by having somebody recall a life they had before we kind of do a treatment of it, you know, go through three or four scenes in that life. Then we have them go to their death scene, and what they do is they see themselves pass away. They're out of their body, looking down at their body. And then this is where the life between life process really begins. What I'll say to the people is, I'll ask them about what they learned, and I'll say, What was your I'll say, every life has a meaning and purpose, and in that life, you just live what was your lesson. And everybody will just turn trance or something, and they'll tell they'll talk about what they learned in that lifetime. And then they'll say, Okay, now are you ready to go home? And sometimes this is what's interesting in our research. Some people say, No, I'm not ready to go home yet. And I'll say, why? And it says, well, because so and so down here is grieving so bad, I need to stay around and and let them know that I'm okay. And so I'll say, Okay, I want you to do that. And when you're finished, let me know, and we'll continue. So I'm just there being quiet, and then all of a sudden, this is okay, I'm done. And all on our research, we always say, Okay, what did you do the most common way souls get in touch with us? And I don't know if you had this experience. Brian is in the dream state, because that's when we're kind of relaxed, and in that same state that I get people in when we do this process. Mm. Um, people say that souls have the ability to to put themselves. You could be having a total nonsense dream, and all of a sudden, boom, there's your daughter, there's your mom or something just smiling at you or something. And there's something deep inside you that kind of knows that's real, that's them. It's not just your imagination. You know, when you wake up, so many times people say, Oh, I just, like, especially at funerals, so many times people say, Oh, I can just feel that dad's here. I could feel that I can just feel mom's energy. And they are actually feeling that, because the Usually people are, you know, stay at their funeral before they, you know, they go back to the other side. So we're finding out all kinds of cool stuff. One, one case was, was kind of cool when I asked the person like, Well, what did you do to let your wife know that you were okay? And he says, Well, I used to have this thing when I was alive. She'd be reading. She was a reader. Always read books, always in her chair or something. I would sneak up behind her, and I'd blow on her ear like this, and she'd go, Oh honey, you know, like this. That was kind of our little joke or a little thing. So when he passed on, he says, No, I gotta stick around and and that's exactly what he did. He just used all of his soul energy or something, and thinking about everything. And he says, all of a sudden, she goes like this, and she goes, you're there, that's you, isn't it? That's you, you know. Then I knew she was going to be okay, you know. But then when I say to them, I says, Okay, now let's rise above that scene until you can see landscape in a long distances. And I'll say, tell me what happens next. I said, turn around. Who's there to take you back home, and they'll, all of a sudden, they'll say, Oh, my God's here, you know, or my mom's here, or, you know, somebody that's there to take us to the guide or something. And so when we meet the guide, this is beautiful. In this experience, almost every single person of the hundreds that I've done now these Brian has been able to come face to face with, we called their personal guide. It's like everybody has one, and that's so when people have this experience and they realize they're never alone from that moment on, when they come back and they start really living their mission, it's so comforting to know that there's always somebody watching out for you. So sometimes it's like a team up there that's rooting for you, you know, to to get to your mission and to learn what you need to learn. And so a lot of times we'll get the the names of the guides, and then here's what's so blows my mind, right? Okay, so my client is there in the in beginning to get to the afterlife, and they're standing next to who just passed who they were, that they just passed away. In other words, they have this consciousness, and they're looking at who they were in that past life that's just left that body. Okay? And then you have the guide there. So then we say, okay, that person who they were then can, are they ready to go back home? And so we can now switch to to who they are now, you know, and they'll say yes. And so that that person there goes back, you know, to the afterlife. And then with the guide, we say, well, now we want to concentrate on who, who this soul is now. And we know that there's a, you know, council we can ask to go through to get questions answered. There's a soul group where they can visit people that are passed on and that sort of thing. And we'll ask the guide, which is, you know, what should he go to first? And the guide will usually say one or the other. I would say about what's about? 5050, whether they go to what we call a soul group first, or they go to the council. And so let's say the guide says the council. Well, happens instantaneous. And then I just when the guide says Council, I know my clients at the council now immediately. So I'll ask my client, you know, because for research, we're always asking, Okay, what's it? What's it look like? Where you're at? Are you inside or outside? Most of the time, almost, almost 90% of the time, people describe this council place as a big, open place, but it's inside, it's kind of reminds me of what I think of a Greek temple or something where it's marble, like marble floors, marble walls, you know, or, like some of the court system, like down here, when you're in court, you know, it's kind of, that's, that's a little bit like an image of, kind of like what it is when you're before a council of elders. Now, this council of elders is so cool. Brian, every council is unique to the person. I've never had two councils have been the same, except I've been to the afterlife two times now, and I had the same counsel time. So that was pretty cool. That was pretty consistent. So, and then I'll say, Okay, now the council members, count them from left to right. And they'll tell me like how many? It's usually anywhere from about three to maybe 12. Some people have 12, but generally speaking, it's like 3456, you know, on there, I'll have them describe them to me. Now, here's the thing that makes these sessions so real, Brian is that they start seeing things they couldn't have made up in their imagination, because they're thinking, most of us think of a council, and you think of seeing everybody just like we're seeing each other right now. But I would say about half the time the council are energy forms. But when you're in that state, it's just natural to see you know you're you know, you recognize them as energy and so and sometimes it's like they're partial energy, and they'll appear to you like human, but, but maybe from the waist up, human And then energy below. Sometimes you see a face, sometimes it's just energy. But when you're in that state, you recognize them as individual souls, individual beings. So then we'll say, Okay, now, my client has some issues in their life they'd like to address. And should we address? Is there one of the council in particular we should address to most of the time they say, Oh, just ask us, you know, the questions to the group. You know of that. And so then we'll just start going through the questions. And I've had a few people hesitant to do a life between life process, because they know they've done a lot of crazy things in their life, and they're kind of afraid of being judged or or something, you know, awful is going to happen, or they're going to feel shame. I'll tell you, Brian up there, this, this heaven, this place up there. We all these 1000s, that 70,000 we've done, people always just experience love. It's just love and light over there. There's no condemnation. They're just there to help. It's like, let's say, if you were a good parent and your child, your child, does something wrong, and you're just a loving parent, would be like, it would be like, treating them like that, you know, not like, mean or horrible or anything like this. And also, too, since this question always comes up in people's minds, you know, what about hell? What about aren't people like, Isn't there some kind of crazy stuff where all this happens is above all that? I mean, there's no there's no devil in heaven. There's no negative anything like that. It's just what you would hope it would be. And that's what people say sometimes, coming back from the session that says, I've never felt such love in my life before. You know it's almost like there's a constant, like someone pouring love on you while you're there, and you just feel connected. And you feel, you kind of feel like you don't want to come back, in a way. Now, everybody does back because they know they have a mission to do and everything. But it's, it's a feeling, and that's one thing. When people come back,

so many people, they go, Gosh, whenever it's my time to go, man, I'm ready. But, you know, I know I need to be here, you know, because I have work to do when it's time to graduate. You know, like the fear of death just leaves, you know, because you see and get proof that you're an immortal soul, that you never die. You just leave this body and actually go back home again. You know, right now, in talking about this, I can this is what always happens, Brian. There's always these little branches, like one thing will remind me of one thing and one thing. So just, just feel free to break in there if you need to clarify me, or if I've got off, no,

Brian Smith  23:41  
I think you've done a great job of describing it, and it is something I guess a lot of us don't really we haven't grown up with this when we again we reincarnation has been accepted in the east for a long time, but not so much in the West, and it's becoming more accepted here. There's still some religious pushback against it. I wonder if you've, if you've come across any of that where people say, No, the Bible says that, you know, we only live one life. And I love the way you put that we do live one life, right, but in multiple bodies, right?

Regan Forston  24:13  
Yeah? Because, see, we have a sense of looking at things from the earth viewpoint, okay, but when you look at things from the heavenly viewpoint, then it all makes sense, you know, that way. But I've had a few people come to me that I've had quite a few Christians that have come to me when they've heard me on podcasts and things like that, and they just, there's something that rings inside them, and they go, You know what? I think this guy's saying. It just seems, it seems to fit. Somehow, I can't quite explain it, so and I'll tell them. I'll says, Okay, well, this is just the process we do of going through the past life. I says, you can just, just allow yourself to think you just made it all up or something. That's okay, you know, it's the point is to get to that. But after, because of the fact, when you're in that past life, you. Now, people experience the past life different ways. Some people are totally in that body, and they're feeling everything that they're they used to feel when they were that other person. Other times, spirit or soul will kind of have you watch it like you're watching it on a movie screen, but you just kind of feel you're that character, but in a sense, you have a little distance from it, and you're just like, you're going through a Book of Memories, you know, of pictures of that life and seeing it. But, oh boy, I there's so many, so many cases I've had that just have just made me feel so I'm I'm so lucky to do this work Brian, because this I've had hundreds of people, and I'm sitting next to him, and they're in the afterlife and having this experience with their guides and their, their having their, their so much clarity that they get about their current life and everything. And I so, in a sense, I feel I've been to having 100 sometimes, because, vicariously through their experience, I kind of feel myself there and what they're learning. I go, Oh, wow. I didn't know that myself, you know, questions we ask and everything. So it's, you know, I mean, I went from being a comedian for 30 years to doing this. So it was quite a but again, when I look back at how I came to this, it all made sense after a while, because I bounced. I was an actor for a lot of years in Hollywood, and I was a fake motivational speaker for companies, and as a ventriloquist, I did company corporate roasts all over America, and it was the time in my life. I mean, my my two sisters are nurses, my brother's a physical therapist, and they always used to tease me that I help people heal through laughter, you know. But then when that all changed in 2008 when the financial thing happened, companies stopped hiring comedians like me because they felt like guilty was paying all this money when they were having a hard time staying afloat. You know? Yeah, I was, I was guided to a little two line ad and a paper that said, Learn hit, learn how to hypnotize for free. And and I thought, Wow. See, I used to have a talent agency years ago, and I booked hypnotists. Sometimes they could do a nightclub for a year and stay in that one place, you know, because even though they have the same template for a show that you have different people that come up to be hypnotized every time. So it's got a different, a different flavor every time. You know, right, right. Okay, I could do that. I could I could do that, and I could get some work, you know. But when I was when I went to hypnotherapy school, and all of a sudden, I learned how the mind works, and I learned that our minds are changeable. It's like, if we have a program in there that's not working, you could go in and get rid of the program, put in a new one. And I thought, why, why don't, why don't they teach that in school? Why don't we? You know, this is so amazing, how, how you know, how, how much power we have over our mind, and how we can fix things that are broken and and put things into the right we can stop bad habits. We can, we can become better people when we when we learn how to blend our conscious mind and our subconscious mind more consciously, you know. And so something in me went, you know, what? I think I want to help people do that, instead of making them quack like ducks. And so that's when I took off into just a regular hypnotherapy practice. So people would come to me once in a while when I had my regular hypnotherapy practices. Look, I I hear an hypnosis you can do past life regression. I said, yeah. So I started, you know, had a few people come to me, and they just went right to a past life and it was like, Wow. I mean, I was surprised to them. I went, this is really cool, you know. And then when I was on my deathbed, they thought I had stage four cancer. I was in the hospital, and I thought, and I didn't, it ended up being something called Valley fever, which you can only get in parts of California, Arizona, a little bit of Mexico. You could be driving down the freeway. And if you breathe in a spore of this, whatever it is, and it just starts growing in your lungs. And when you're over 60, it's fatal a lot of times. And they thought my lungs were all cloudy and everything. So they thought it was and I never smoked, and that kind of thing. So but anyway, they did a biopsy, and it was, they found out it was this other thing. But while I'm laying there for two months in the hospital, I remembered reading this book, which I want everybody out there, if you can get a copy, there's a million out there copies, called Journey of souls, and Michael Newton wrote it. It's about how this whole thing started. There's a bunch of case histories in there, and the way he lays it out, I'll tell you that book is changed lives. When people read that, it just resonates. Something resonates, and people. Will just go, Oh my gosh. Maybe the afterlife really is real. Maybe, you know, maybe I'm down here for a purpose, you know. So anyway, journey of souls, and also destiny of souls, between the two of them. There's a million out there, copies out there. It's a very good books, and it's all about this research and everything. But anyway, now I'm going to digress a bit, because think thoughts are coming to me when I went to a sec a second time. And this is so cool, because this process is so easy now that anytime I feel the need that I need some counseling, or my life's gotten kind of bottled up and I need some help or some guidance, all I have to do is do another life between life session and get the answers. I mean, there I always ask over there says, Is my client? I welcome to come back. And they said, Come back anytime you need to. You know, so, like, I've been twice, my wife's been twice now, even in our relationship, it's helped that bloom, because we see our why the reasons are we? We're together. Okay, so that's a beautiful thing. Okay, now something's telling me to talk say this. The thing that I think is the coolest thing we've learned about this process is, is that when people go through this process, which is mostly successful, they get to go to their soul group. And the soul group is kind of like, it's like souls that over, you know, who knows how long of time, if we're thinking of time, but their souls that you're most close to in the afterlife. And it's, I think of it as like an acting troupe. It's, you're all the best buddies, and everybody's helping each other to learn and so, so you know, you'll, you'll, you'll help each you'll help them your friends with, you know, what their goals are by going down and maybe being their mother or their father, their brother or whatever. And a lot of times, you'll pick certain ones there to be your you know, because we choose a thing. We found the research is, generally, we choose our parents, you know we and sometime you go, You're kidding me. Man, my dad was a horrible thing. Well, boy, that's another story there. I'll tell you in a minute. Remind me about that in a minute. But what we find out is this, this group that's there. I have people make a list of people they want to talk to on the other side, people that have passed on, they went up conversations with but here's the thing, Brian, when you decided to be Brian and come down and beat yourself and have a mission of things you wanted to learn in life, you didn't put all of your soul self into your human body. You kept about half of yourself back home. What that means is we all have higher selves. We all have that other part of us that's not in the physical body. And so when you're on the other side, you can actually have conversations with the soul cells of people still alive in your life. You can have a conversation with your your wife. You can have a conversation with your co workers, you know whoever you want. Sometimes what I add is just kind of a fun thing to do. I'll say, is there anybody in history that you know that you if you could have a conversation with them, you would like a man recently came to me says, oh my god, I'd want to talk to Tesla, because I've got this new invention I have that's going to do something great for the world. So when he's on the other side, I asked the counselor, says, Could my client have a talk with Tesla a little bit? They said, Sure, he has this 15 minute conversation with Tesla, talking about his invention and everything he didn't like what he Tesla told him, Because Tesla said to him, said, Look, your invention is really great, but it's ahead of its time right now, and you're not going to make any money on this because people aren't ready for it. It's not to accept but he says, You have to invent this still, because that's part of you that's helping to propel, propel the world forward, and eventually what you are doing is probably going to help humanity. So that really helped him, because he's saying, well, maybe I don't need to mortgage my house, then

everything's going to do. But so what that means is that anybody who's ever lived before, there's always part of them in heaven. So even if they've reincarnated again and they're doing something else down here, that soul cell for them is always there, you know, now, people that are Christian again, I'll say, Hey, do you want to talk to Jesus while you're there? And they go, You mean I could do that? And I go, Sure. So every single person that's been Christian that's wanted to talk to Christ. After we're done with the council, we say, now my client would really like to talk to Jesus for a little bit. Is that possible? Instantly Jesus appears. I'll tell you to the Christians that have come sometimes that's been, I mean tears coming emotional thinking about this, because I'm watching my clients just have tears coming down and because they can feel this being this Jesus is a real being, a really evolved soul, and the love that he just by him. Looking at them, or by holding them, they just, it's almost overwhelming emotionally for people. So, yeah, and, and usually what they're doing. I had one time I had a woman. She was a Christian, 72 year old Catholic woman, beautiful soul. I mean, she just lights up her room when she comes in. And she was having trouble in the physical world with her daughter. Daughter kind of ghosted her a bit, and she she was just in pain, because she loves her daughter so much. So she's there. She's talking to Jesus. All sudden, Mother Mary shows up, just unannounced, and so she's having this conversation with Mother Mary, and they're talking about their kids, and Mother Mary's talking about Jesus when he was a baby, and a boy, she's talking about her daughter, just like they're having this this these two moms talking about kids. And so she asked Mother Mary about why she's having trouble with her daughter. And mother, Mary says, Okay, the next time you see your daughter, you need to talk to her, not as your daughter, but as like an equal as like an equal adult. And he says, just listen to her. Don't try to solve her problems. You know, don't be the mom and say, Well, you need to do this. She says, just be a good listener. That's what your daughter needs. She wants an equal so someone she can, they will listen to her. Okay? I checked with her a few months later, her and her daughter back. Her daughter came over for Thanksgiving or Christmas, one of those, and she she was just listening to her daughter the whole time. Says, somehow something mended there. And, you know, so that was pretty interesting, you know, yeah. But usually, Jesus, he just hold people say, you know, how can I feel? How can I feel your presence? Even more, this is, I don't want to leave this presence. And he says, Look, all you have to do is think of me. And when you thought, when you have this, think of me. I'm with you. Okay, you'll feel My Love. Okay, so it's that was just to digress a little bit about that, because a lot of that, we're a Christian country, you know, a lot more Christian than anything else. One of my clients was Christian, but she says, Well, you know what, I've been studying Buddhism a little bit. And I wondered, is Bucha here? I said, Well, let's find out. I mean, this was so much fun in the research, because we're just saying, let's just see what we can do here, you know? So we asked the council so you can see Buddha. Boom, there he was. I said, What does he look like? He was a glowing orb of purple. It was like blue, purple, standing in in kind of like a human form, but with no facial features or anything. And then what Buddha did was he, all of a sudden, he shoots, um, it's like a tube of purple from his from right, from here, right into her thing here. So she's in trance. And, oh, you should have seen her face. She's just, like, it was like she was getting an infusion of love or something. It was, like, totally amazing when, when she came out of trance, and we're talking about, she says, Man, my head is still feels like it's this big right now, you know? And she was just feeling the love of Bucha. And so we asked Bucha. We said, Look, have you Bucha? Have you reincarnated here, here? And Bucha just says, part of me is everywhere, you know. So now here's talking about religion. A lot of times people are before the council, and they'll go, okay, I'm okay, Council. Now here I am in heaven a little bit. Tell me the one best religion, you know what? What I'm going to go down? That's what I'm going to do, you know? And they'll kind of look at you and they'll say, Well, if you need a religion, that's great. That's fine. You can find one that you know, find one that resonates with you. That's great, but it's not necessary. They'll say the one true religion Brian is love and kindness. You know. Find it you know. And some people for their mission, because they have to learn certain things, they have to go through certain things, and they have to look at the world a certain way, uh, they'll be drawn to a particular religion that has those things that they can, you know, be taught, right? So, and then people say, Okay, I know I'm going back on my physical body here pretty quick. And but how am I going to stay connected? I don't want to leave. I want to feel this feeling all the time. And 100% I always know. I say I'm not going to tell my clients. I said what they're going to tell you, but I know what they're going to tell you. And going to tell you, and they always do. They'll say that meditation is the gift that God's given us that can help us to stay closer, more connected to the other side than anything else, because when people meditate, they actually get into almost the similar or same state as the state when we do this life between life thing. In other words, it's kind of, you know, if you're just awake this way, but when you get into meditation, you're actually, this is a good thing too, for I'm thinking of guys that might be watching this podcast now. Um. Have. Here's what happens when you have this life between life process, if you're, if you're, we're hooked up to a machine right now, we're in the beta state. As we, as a lot of people, have come up familiar with beta, alpha, theta, delta, okay, as you begin to meditate, all of a sudden you would start seeing alpha waves, start coming in, okay? And when you get into real deep meditation, here comes some theta waves, okay? And in this process, that's what happens, like people get so relaxed. And if I wasn't talking to them and communicating, they would just fall asleep there on my couch, and they would, you know, but because I'm communicating with them, I keep people in that theta state. And that's where it seems Brian, that's where we seem to have the switch, where we can go to past lives. We have memories of everything, you know, that's the door right there in that, in that little bit of theta state. So that's physically what's happening to our, you know, our minds that way. So

it's, it's great that way, when I think about and when I had my session, I was not successful the first time. Okay, because I'm so analytical, Brian, you know, is, is my facilitator was, trying to help me get in the state. Okay, this is my mind talking. I go, okay. Now, why is he saying that? Okay? Oh, that does that make sense? Okay. Blah, blah, blah, okay. Now what? Okay, I'm seeing some images. Am I just making it up? I don't know what's going on here. You know? I couldn't I just couldn't relax and allow it to happen. Four days later, though, had a few of this amazing other therapists that kind of work with me on some stuff. And so there were 16 of us going through the training of of this at the same time. On the fourth day, they said, Okay, tomorrow, you're all going to heaven and back. Okay, so I already was a little a little bit apprehensive, because when I went to hypnotherapy School in Los Angeles, which I went to, the the most accredited hypnotherapy school in the country, is where I got my training, or additional hypnotherapy training, the last one in the class to experience hypnosis. I mean, I would, every time they wanted to volunteer, I'd raise my hand, I'd go up, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And everybody else, it was no problem, you know, and just bothered me because I thought, am I ever going to experience if I'm going to be a hypnotist? I want to know what hypnosis is like for myself, sure. But eventually, I think it was about the 11th time over like three months, I volunteered, and I went up, and here's what he did. He said, let's see here. He says, Hold your hands out in front of me, like you have a tray across them. And he says, close your eyes. And then he take some deep breaths. And he says, Okay. Now Regan on your on your right wrist, I'm tying this really big helium balloon on there now. And your hand, your right hand, feels so light. It's so light. You could keep it there for for days, just letting it float. And then your left hand, I'm putting a Los Angeles telephone book now. I want you to see that telephone book. I want you know how heavy that is. I want you to feel that and how hard that is to hold up. And you can feel your muscles this hard. You know, in the harder you try to hold it up, the harder it is. Okay, so he's saying that to me, so in my mind, I'm going, well, I know what he's wanting me to do. He's want me to go like this, you know, like feel the way person now says I'm not, I'm not going to do that, because that's not hypnosis, you know. What's the hell's going on here? You know? So he kept talking to me, talk to me. Then he had me open my eyes, and my hands were like this, Brian and I went, what the? Yeah, because I didn't consciously do that, but I realized my subconscious was listening to him and feeling that phone book and feeling how heavy it was, and went down it the whole time. I thought hypnosis was something different than it is, and that's why, you know, it's just, it's so simple. It's just, it's just allowing yourself to get relaxed. And when you're relaxed, your subconscious gets totally to the front, just like your conscious mind. And it's, it's like there's two of us here, my subconscious and my conscious mind. So from then on. So anyway, getting back to my life between life experience on the three or four days later, they said, Well, let's try again, Reagan, after the first time I know, when I went back to class the next day, every single person was talking about being in heaven, and they were just, oh my and I'm sitting there like, Okay, I didn't, you know, and I'm feeling like, Is this ever going to happen? Second time we got to excuse me. I got to the past life. So I'm thinking in my mind, because you're conscious the whole time of everything that's going on. In other words, you're it's like you're in two places at once. You know, like I'm listening to the facilitator, but here I am in this past life. I did it like what I saw, and I started crying. That's what made it so real. Ryan, because I was, I was actually a Roman soldier. I can feel just now, when I just say that, I can feel my my legs spread. I'm on this really powerful horse, and I'm going up and down, and there's people that are being crucified. And in my mind, at the time, I was justified, I felt, well, it's my orders. I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm a soldier. I'm supposed to be killing these guys because they're crazy and but then on my on my deathbed, this is where I realized what I could see myself. I'm on a, like, a table. It's about, oh, it's a little, it's like, a little taller than the eating table. But I'm just laying there, my daughter is next to me. I know she's my daughter. She's got this long hair, almost down to her waist, straight hair. She looked like she's in her 30s or something. She's holding my hand as I'm dying. And on my deathbed, I I cursed Caesar and I swore. I says, Never again. Am I ever going to do something that inwardly I really know is wrong to do, just because somebody tells me to do it. And that was my lesson in that lifetime. So anyway, that's the thing people, if you go to a past life, we've not always been the saints that we are now. We've done, you know, a lot of mayhem sometimes, but, but you have to look at it as a growth, you know, in other words, we were, you know, we were immature and selfish and everything at one time. And now we've learned through incarnation after incarnation that love is the key. You know, we've loved and now we're who we are. Now, you know, anyway, I see myself pass away, and then when I turned around to see my guide or something, there, all of a sudden, I'm just in blackness. It's like I felt like, like I felt good. I mean, it felt kind of just floating. But I was seeing nothing but black. Luckily, the facilitator that I had had another facilitator helping him, and that second facilitator says, just let Regan be in the black for a while. And we found out that the black is an actual place Brian like in other words, when you pass away, in a sense, it's like going from earth to heaven. There's like a little space here. Well, some people go right away, and other people, they're in the black for a little while. It's like a little little holding area for a while before he my, my the the really trained facilitator that was helping my new facilitator was helping me have the session. He says, Just let him in. And the facilitator, the the main facilitator, took over and says, Regan, just float around a little bit and just enjoy it, because it's a beautiful place. Excuse me, and let us know if you see any light anywhere or anything. Well, all of a sudden I saw like a pinpoint in the very distance, about the size of a P of red light. There's some red light, and the facilitator says, well, just float over to that light, and in a nanosecond, boom, I was out the other side. And there was my guide, rebaser, who took me on this beautiful journey experience that I had over there. So that was a good learning experience for me. And oh, boy, when I came out of that, I was elated, because I went I did it, you know, I did it. I was able to do it. And I'd have to say that the experience of being over there and what happened, especially the few highlights that have, the thing about me being a good grandfather, helped me down here on earth this way. But the biggest experience I had was was just as my the council I answered my questions. I got to see my my mother, my father, my brother, who had passed on. I got to see them for a little bit over there, which was made me feel good seeing like seeing them right now in my mind. And this is so cool, just like I'm seeing them see me right now. Brian and I just did. They were wonderful people in my life. So I'm above the Earth. It's like, I'm looking, I'm in, like in space, and I'm looking down at the Earth. My guide is still with me here on my right. Re bizarre. And as I'm floating down, kind of coming back from the experience, I was looking at the Earth, and I was from space. It's just the most beautiful, peaceful, looking coolest thing, just this globe floating out there. So rebasor says to me, he says, Are you sure that in your mission? Are you sure you want to do what your mission is? And I screamed, I Yes. I was just with all my beingness, yes, and I knew he meant this work, the work that I'm doing now.

That I did. And so then I'm getting a little closer to Earth after I said that, and all of a sudden I'm in in my experience, I'm starting to feel all this pain, all this emotional pain as I get closer to Earth. He stops me for a minute. He says, Regan, now that you've opened yourself. Up here, you're starting to feel the pain of the earth right now. And it made me think at that very moment Brian looking down at Earth of all the emotional pain that's going on down there now with people, with the wars and dying, and people fighting and all that. And he says, If you're going to do work, break and you're going to do four, four things, I'm going to recommend you do, or your physical body won't be able to handle it, and your physical body will die. So I says, Okay, let's just, let's just hold on a minute here. Let's talk about this. He says, and this will help people too, because this, this isn't just for me, but everybody is. They wake up and and this will help them to get through their day in a way where you kind of connect yourself to your higher self, to to heaven or to so you be a better person in the day. He says, as you wake up, Reagan, the first thing I want you to do as you open your eyes is connect to the other side. And I heard a prayer in my mind. This is so cool. It was bless this day, and those that I serve as I keep one foot in heaven and one foot planted firmly on Earth to accomplish my mission. He says, just a little prayer, boom, you're connected for the day. Okay, so the second thing he said was, spend more time in nature. He said, That's God's gift to all of us, and we don't. We instinctively know that Brian somehow, when we go to a park or we go hiking in the woods, or something. There's something healing about that, you know. And the image they showed me in my mind was an hourglass. Okay, you know how sand goes in the top and it goes to a little tiny thing to the bottom, sure, and backing up a little bit. When he said that you're going to, you know, you're going to die if you don't do these things. All of a sudden I saw that hourglass. And I was seeing clients, seeing clients, seeing clients. And the sand was piling up, piling up, piling up, and nothing was going through to the bottom. So when he told me these four things to do, as I heard that prayer, all of a sudden, I saw the hourglass. I saw sand starting to go down to the bottom. When he said, I've pictured myself walking in nature, sand starting to go down the bottom, the third thing he says is to do as many random acts of kindness. And I saw myself in a it was a 711 store, and I was picking up someone's Snickers bar wrapper. It was so specific. It was a rapper, sneakers by rapper, and I was walking the store, and I just reached down, picked it up, put it in the trash. Okay. Was it my trash? It did it Okay. So then I saw sand going down. The fourth thing he said is something practical. He says, talk to other therapists and find out how they ground how they ground themselves. He says, there's some great grounding techniques that therapists do, and I've been, I would say I'm about to be, you know, if I was rating myself or taking care of these four things, trying to keep myself healthy. So now here's the biggest thing that happened to me in my three hours, 33 minutes in heaven, Brian, so now I'm starting to get closer to earth a little bit, and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, I'm standing on a cliff, and I recognize the cliff as a cliff I was standing on in a dream I had about 40 years ago or 45 years ago. And in this dream that I had, it was the first dream that I ever wrote down in my life, because it was so powerful. I was on, I was on a plane, and I crashed on a remote island somewhere, and I was one of about 10 survivors. And as those 10 survivors are getting out of the plane, there was almost like a King Kong or something, or some evil, evil thing was going to just grab us and kill us, and we had to run away from it. So we're running, and we run up this mountain. We're going, it's almost like a cartoon mountain. We're going round and round and round. And there was this fear, as we were just all running for our lives, and I knew this thing was just going to kill me. So I get to the very top, and there's nowhere to go, and I looked down, and out of the clouds was coming up. It was funny. It was a hand that was coming up out of the clouds, but it looked like a Pillsbury, Pillsbury Doughboy hand, you know, friendly like and I knew instinctively in that time, in this dream, I says, Oh, I can jump to the hand to safety, or I can turn around and face this fear, okay? And I somehow, when I'm having this dream. I knew it was a thing that I had to make the decision. And I said in the dream, I says, I'm going to turn around and face this fear. And just as I said that, I woke up, okay, it's like, boom, someone put the pause button on that. And I woke up. I shook my wife even I says, Oh my God. I think I just, I think I just passed some kind of spiritual test about facing fears or something, you know, and I wrote it all down. So here I am, 4045, years later, having this life between life thing. I'm coming back down to earth, and all of a sudden, I'm on that cliff again. And I told the facilitator. I says, Oh, my God, this is the cliff where I had to turn around and face my fears, where I could jump to safety. And the facilitator said. It will jump to the hand to safety. And I again, I'm in trance, and I'm so emotional. I said, No, I'm going to face my fear. And I turned around, and this close to my face was a man smiling at me, Brian. He says, I love you, I forgive you. And I just felt this, oh man. And I looked behind him, and there were people lined up as far down as I could see, down this mountain that were lined up there to each of them give me a hug. And I so I stood there on the mountain, and person after person says, I love you, I forgive you. And the last one, Brian was this little girl, oh my gosh. You know, I'm just thinking now. I think I just it was a little girl with about eight or nine years old. She had this hair that went down to her waist, so I wonder if that was my daughter in that life, other lifetime. Wow, that could have been her when she was younger, but when I saw her, my here, I'm in trance, and my Regan self is thinking, What did I do to this poor little girl, you know? And that made me start crying, like, you know, what did I do? And she just with these big, beautiful eyes, she held me, and she says, I love you, I forgive you. And then boom, all of a sudden, I'm out of there and I'm back, you know, on the earth and back in my body. That was something. But I think what happened there Brian is because I decided to do this work, that they wanted me to be a cleaner vehicle for spirit in a sense. And I think having that experience of having all those people that I've done things to in other lifetimes to hug me and tell me they love me and forgive me. I felt as if a giant heavy tank was off my shoulders, in other words, and I just became, I feel like I'm like, even now, I feel like I'm kind of floating, you know, instead of so heavy into this life, right? So that's, I mean, that's it was probably unique. I haven't had anybody else have that forgiveness thing that was unique to me, but I think the experience that I had to have, but when people have this experience, oh yeah, the second time I went over there, I actually had one of the questions written down. I wanted to get some work done, so I was over there, and we were, we were 28 of us therapists. We swapped sessions. And what I know I did a session for therapists in Alabama and said we did it over zoom, which because we do these over zoom all the time, and they're just the same percentage success as we have as we do in person. We didn't know we could do that until COVID. So that was one of the good things that happened. About COVID, is now we can do sessions all over the world, because there's 250 of us, but we're scattered in 4546 countries now, so and we're only training about 10 or 15 a year, so we're going to be pretty busy, because this is becoming more and more acceptable now. So now I lost my train of thought, Okay, what was I starting to say? Brian, I'm

Brian Smith  58:07  
not sure where you were going with that.

Regan Forston  58:10  
Okay. Well, okay, the beautiful thing. Oh yes, yes, I traded. We traded about COVID. Okay? So yes, therapist, we all ask the same questions by different councils, because we all have separate councils about COVID. Then we came back and coalesced everything put into a PowerPoint presentation and everything just a sidebar on that. On the other side, in the bigger picture of things, Brian, COVID was not even a big deal, you know? They said, well, it's just something that's, you guys have to go through down there. It's a balancing of things. It's whatever we asked about the vaccines, and they said, well, it's personal choice, you know, if you want to take it, maybe it'll help you. And if not, you know, so in the bigger scheme of things, you know, it's just something we're going through. First of all, they said, all those people that died, they're back home. They're fine, so we'll worry about, you know, they're home, they're okay, yeah, yeah. But so when I was finishing up, I asked them, I says, Why are, why are you allowing people now to come to see this, this part of heaven? I says, this, these six stations. So far, we've identified six stations, and we might not have time talk about them all today, but on another show maybe. But I says, Is this it? Is this? Is this kind of heaven, like this? And my guide, at the time, he was sitting down, and he jumps up and he goes, like, you haven't seen anything yet. So I said, is this like heaven? 101? He goes, Yeah. Why are you allowing us to bring people? He says, We love when you bring people here, because it's a very important now in for the earth right now, because Earth is going through major changes right now, and everybody needs to be on task at whatever their mission is, to help humanity. Okay, we will. People to come here so they can learn three things. First of all, heaven is real, okay? Because people even know, even though you kind of believe it's real, you do it through faith. There's always that little bit of you that wonders, is it really real? You know, okay? People come here, they find out heaven is real. They want you to realize you're an immortal soul, okay? And that you're out. The four things, actually. The third thing is that realize you're never alone, because you've always got your guide. You've got people up here that are can help you if you're just open to it, okay? And and the thing, and the third thing, which is now the fourth thing, as you realize, oh yeah, that, you know, you have a mission and purpose. You know, this happens, and it's like, like, Brian, I would guess that if you have a session now, you're going to find out that that part of your mission was to come down and be a light worker, just like what you're doing with in talking about this and helping other people. And I'm sure there's probably people out there now listening to the podcast, and maybe some of them for the first time today, and because of your podcast, now, all of a sudden, they're thinking about their higher self. They're thinking about, Gosh, what is my mission, you know? Or, Wow, I know that my my so and so passed away. I know they're just fine, and I know that I'm not going to ever die, but I'm just going to transform and go back home again, right? And just knowing that. So on the second session I did, this was kind of interesting. So I'm sitting at the same chair right here. We're doing it on Zoom. So part of me is going, I don't know if I'm really there. I mean, I'm seeing these images and stuff, but I feel like I'm I'm too much Regan at this desk and and not there, even though I'm hearing these things and I'm seeing these images. But then all of a sudden, the council moved apart, and in walks Michael Newton, who I he I never met him because he died the year before I had my training when he walked in, here I am at my desk right here, I had so much emotion, I started crying uncontrollably in the session. And so my my monkey mind now says, okay, Reagan, you're there. You're not having this. You're not making up this. You're not just seeing this is not going to create this. You're crying. You're crying your eyes out right now. But I think it was this connection. And what Michael did was he came down from there. He had me kneel down, he took a sword and united me on each shoulder, and he says, I'm I'm happy the work that you're doing, you know? And and then I asked him. I says, Well, you know, what should we be concentrating on, and everything. And then he said something that's made this my session so real to me too, because it was so loving and beautiful. Michael said, Okay, us on the other side here now that are working to help humanity over on heaven, on this side, what we're wanting to instill in you, He says, all the other therapists. He says, Look, it's nice if someone can have a life between life process and come here. Says, but everybody doesn't need to do that, you know? He says, some people just need to hear like, what we're doing today. All they need to hear is somebody who's been there, who they can kind of say, well, this Reagan guy sounds like he's real. He's not just making this stuff up and and even that gives them confidence that, yeah, heaven is real, and to get them to think about their mission and stuff. Says that's what we want people to do. He says, each of us now, just like you, Brian or me, what we're supposed to be concentrating on is to help somebody in whatever their next step in evolution is. Maybe it's just to read the Bible, you know, or maybe it's to have a religion or some place where you can kind of get some kind of spiritual guidance. Maybe it's just start a meditation practice, you know, or excuse me, or maybe it's just to think about the the prayer that Regan said, you know, wake up and connect yourself. He says, Everybody doesn't need to have all the bells and whistles of having this life between life process. He says, just need to try to help. And he I had a picture in my mind of this is I'm climbing up a ladder spiritually, and I'm looking down at somebody who's on the rung below me, and it's up to me to reach down with the hand to help pull them up to the next rung. And then I look above me and there's somebody up there pulling me up, you know. So, you know we each need to help each other. You know that, you know, with humanity, you know we need to to be more loving and kind and everything that way.

Brian Smith  1:04:33  
Yeah, that sounds great, yeah. So we're coming to the end of our time together. I appreciate you sharing as much as you did, but this, this process, it's really fascinating, and I know it can be life changing for people that go through it. And as you were talking, I kept thinking about near death experiences, and it sounds very similar to what people experience in a near death experience, minus the trauma. So I know a lot of us that you know have studied. Near Death Experiences. And it's, yeah, I've heard people even say, you know, I wish I could have one. You don't want to have one. People have had them said, Don't do that. But this is something that we can all experience. So let people know how they can reach out to you. And also tell people, you know, if they get through book, what they'll get from that. Okay,

Regan Forston  1:05:17  
sure, Brian, um, yeah. And just what you said, this is what we've done here, is we found a way to activate the process that happens the same thing in a near death experience, but without the death part. You know, the one way to get to heaven that way. So that's what's what's great. And this is so much near death experiences have changed people's lives because they've got a view of the other side, so they come back a different person, because they realize, wow, there's a heaven, you know. But this is done in a very scientific way, very organized way, where, you know, you have a list of questions prepared ahead of time, you have a list of people you want to see. And so when you're over there, you're actually there as long as you want. You know, the sessions in naturally, there's just a time over there where people are just the session just ends. It just ends naturally. But you get work done and you really find out what your true purpose is, so that when you come out of a session, you realize it's time to get to work. You know, to be a better person. It's time to add more pluses every day instead of minuses. Now, visit the afterlife.com. It's so simple visit the afterlife.com. There's all kinds of videos on there, frequently asked questions, six different videos we have on there. There's also about five videos we have on past life regression, and then also watch traditional therapy. Because a lot of us, we've had, we've been knocked around in our lives a lot, and we're dealing with grief or dealing with having trouble forgiving people for, you know, people that have trespassed against us in a sense, yeah, having problems and things. And traditional therapy now is actually, it's kind of special, spiritual traditional therapy, because we've now discovered three techniques in in regular therapy with energy psychology that manipulate the energy in your body to help you with with grief, to help you with stress, you know, to help you with things like that, and they work like magic. So sometimes that that's part of what we want to do now is heal ourselves now too, so that we can get off. Okay, so, but watch, I visit the afterlife com, my book, which is, if you go to my site, you can click it takes it to Amazon, or go to Amazon, it's three hours, 33 minutes in heaven. I also have another book called reincarnation is real, which is about all the current research being done. When you see all the current research and all the proof that's out there. You know, even if you don't believe in reincarnation, part of you is going to go, Hmm, maybe there's something to this, because we have so much validation now and just validation, validation, 1000s and 1000s of cases and everything now. One of them is a book called before by Jim Tucker from the University of Virginia. They've been studying incarnation for 50 years now, and these are about children that remember past lives. It's not done through hypnosis. It's done by just going, seeing the children, having them talk about their past lives, and then they send a team to go out and prove that what the children said was true. And it's in the book called before so that, because some people think, oh, it's hypnosis, whatever, you know, but, but that's what's just children that just say, Mom, you're not my You're not my real mom, you know. And they have all these other experiences. So anyway, the book reincarnation is real. Anybody listening this podcast, if you go to my website, ask for a free copy, I'll send you a free ebook copy of reincarnation Israel, just for just for coming and watching the show. Awesome.
