26 Home The happy days went by until there came a summer when Minnie was eight years old and Gracie was four. We spent the most of that summer together, the aunties and uncles and cousins, all at the dear old home, Grandpa's house. It was a summer which we will never forget any of us. It was a very sad summer, and yet a pleasant one. The dear Grandpa was sick, very sick. We knew that he would not get well. I cannot tell you how this made our hearts ache when we thought of ourselves, and yet, as I told you, it was a pleasant time. I think that sick room was the pleasantest place I was ever in. When I was a little girl, I used to hope that I should never have to be with anybody who was very sick. I thought it would be so dreadful to look at anybody knowing that he was going to die. I found out that it made a great difference who it was and how he felt himself. Grandpa was willing to die. He was not one bit afraid of it. He used to say to me, It is nice to have my children all about me, and it seems sad sometimes that I must go and leave them. Sad for them, I mean. But what a blessed thing it will be when we all get up there where none of us will have to go away any more. It will be a vacation there all the time, won't it? This he said, because for many years some of us had only been at the old home when there was vacation. Much of the time that summer, Minnie spent with me in Grandpa's room. It was her delight to fan him, to arrange the pillows for him, to read to him in her soft, gentle voice, to sing to him when he was restless and feverish. Many a time he would say to me, Where is Minnie? Doesn't she want to come and say her little piece for me? A short time before that she had commenced going to school, and there she learned to recite many little pieces. One that Grandpa used to love to hear, I will copy here for you.  In the world is darkness, so we must shine. You in your little corner and I in mine. Jesus bids us shine, first of all, for him. While he sees and knows it, if our light is dim, he looks down from heaven to see us shine. You in your little corner and I in mine. Jesus bids us shine, then for all around. Many kinds of darkness in the world are found. There's sin, there's want, there's sorrow, so we must shine. You in your little corner and I in mine. Her voice was low and sweet, especially when she was reciting for Papa, and many a time have I seen his dear hand go up to wipe away the tears as she said these earnest words. I hope she will shine. He said to me one day when she had said her little peace and gone, I hope she will be a true light showing the way to others, helping them to get through the dangerous places in the world and land safely in heaven. He was very fond of hearing her sing and perhaps the peace that he loved the best and called for the oftenest was rest for the weary. One summer afternoon the shades in Grandpa's room were partly dropped to keep out the glare of light. The birds outside were singing, and the soft summer wind brought the breath of flowers in at the open window. Grandma had gone to lie down for a few minutes of much needed rest. Each one of the large family was busy doing something for the future comfort of the dear grandpa, and many and I were on garden his room, charged by Grandma to call her the minute he seemed tired or asked where she was. For often and often during the long weary days there came times when only Grandma could do things to rest and help him. We children, try as we might, were as nothing to the dear wife who had taken such a long journey with him ever since the early morning of life. Many had a long branch from off the elm tree, which she gently waved to and fro to keep the flies from troubling Grandpa, and as she waved it she talked in her low, gentle voice about the school and the lessons and the plays. For Grandpa, in all his weakness and his pain, never lost his interest in everything that had to do with this darling grandchild. Pretty soon he said, Now you may read a few verses for me from the book, and then you and Mini will sing. I knew very well what the book was. It was a long time since he had cared for any but the one book that had been his friend for so many years, so I got his own large print Bible, all full of leaves turned down and verses marked. No need to ask which was his favorite. He had left marks of his love all through the book. On this afternoon I read verses here and there as my eye caught a mark. And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads, and there shall be no night there, and the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. Isn't that the way it reads? I am trying to recall these verses from memory. I have thought of them so many times, it is not likely I shall make many mistakes. This was one. Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. I know that it was almost the dearest first to my father in the whole Bible. Ah, he would say. Isn't that a triumph? What can Satan do after that? Thou art mine. Yes, indeed, I am his. He has called me by my name. After the verses were read, as many of them as I thought his tired head could bear, he said, Now the hymn, I am getting tired. You may sing rest for the weary. I shall soon know what kind of a rest that is. Many came and stood by my side. Her voice trembled a little. If she had not tried very hard to keep it steady, she would have cried. She seemed to feel that grandpa was slipping away from her, but she knew he wanted to hear her sing, so she choked back the tears, like a strong-hearted little girl as she was, and sang low and clear his favorite verse. He is fitting up my mansion, which eternally shall stand, for my station not be transient in that holy, happy land. Pain nor sickness there shall enter, grief nor woe my heart shall share, but in that celestial center I a crown of life shall wear. Then the chorus, with its oft-repeated sentence, there is rest for the weary. That is it. He said, when we finished it, I had not sung much, just a softly little tone, to let Minnie feel that I was helping her, partly because some way I could not trust my voice, and partly because I knew that grandpa wanted to hear his little darling sing it once more. That is it. Thank you. I don't know, but it seems to me that the angels cannot sing much sweeter than that. I shall think of it when I hear them sing. I know I shall. How soon it will be now, a few days more at the longest, and I shall go to my crown of life, and then in a little while you will all come. My little singer must be sure to come to sing for me there. He was still for a minute, then he said, I guess I will rest me for a little. You may call your mother now. So we went out softly and left him. That was the last song and the last talk that Minnie and I had with the dear, dear grandpa. In the gray light of the early summer morning the Jesus whom he loved sent an angel to bring him home to the rest that he had prepared for the weary. I cannot tell you much about that morning, about how beautiful the dear face looked with the peace of God upon it, with the weary, painful look that had lasted through so many days gone out. Seeing at him we could not doubt that the rest had surely come. But oh, how desolate it was to think that he had gone from us, that perhaps it would be so long, so long, before we could see him again. My sad heart felt like repeating Minnie's desolate wail. Oh, Auntie Bell, if he could only have taken us all right up to heaven with him, how sweet it would have been! We had many anxious thoughts about Gracie during that long morning. She was sleeping peacefully when her grandpa went away and we dreaded the awakening. She had seemed too young to understand about the coming death. She had been the only one in the house who had gone brightly, merrily, through the days while we were stepping softly and waiting. But now that the dear face had changed and the dear voice could speak to her no more, we feared that when she realized it her little heart would break with grief, for she loved her grandpa. Very gently Mama tried to explain it to her when at last she opened her eyes. Very carefully the loving mother tried to choke back her own grief and speak cheerfully to the little girl. It was a strange story that in the night Jesus had made up his mind that he wanted grandpa in heaven. Grandpa had been sick and suffering for a long, long time, and Jesus had said to an angel, I don't want Gracie's dear, good grandpa to have any more pain or trouble. You may go down and bring him up to me. Shall we ever forget the brightness that glowed on that sweet baby face as she said, clasping her hands together and speaking earnestly? Well, I can be happy if he has gone to heaven! And not you?  Both Minnie and Gracie are living now. They are a good deal older. Grandpa has been four years in heaven. I might tell you much about them, but some way the brightness has gone out of my story. I should miss the constant presence and love and care of the dear grandpa. So would you. I think you have learned to love him during these talks that we have had together about him. I want you to remember that this is not a story in a book about some people who never lived. We are just as much alive today as you are, and grandpa is just as much in heaven as you are on earth. What I want of you is to be sure to get acquainted with him. There is no telling how many of you may meet Minnie and Gracie and talk with them here on earth. It will be strange if some of you don't. But as many of you as want to see the dear grandpa must get ready to go over the river where he lives. Isn't it nice to think that we are all invited to the same beautiful city? Be sure that none of you are too late to get in. Lovingly, Pansy.


In your experience, either with yourself, through the research or from sort of personal accounts from other people, how can THC and CBD be beneficial to like specifically autistic people? Like I know you talked about the tried of suffering and like stuff, but is there anything else that you'd like to kind of? I'm so glad because I started bringing it up when I was talking about the survey for the pain, anxiety, sleep thing. And I like never got to the point with that with that story, which is, you know, that's just how I guess that's how it is. Some other tangent that was shiny caught my attention and I went down that hole. But yes, there are specific therapeutic benefits for autistic ADHD, neurodivergent, PTSD, TBI people. They're like for people with like different types of atypicalities, definitely. But, you know, specifically going down the lane of the autistic ADHD, more like hypersensitive route, hypersensitive, hyperactive brain, without like neuro type type people, there are some unique benefits. Like one of them is the mood regulation benefit, which has been documented before. I've never heard of the mood regulation. Like I assume that because of the euphoria and stuff, it would be like a right, like a lifter scale. No, the the mood regulation effect is one of the long term effects. It's one of the it's one of the effects that is and this is also full disclosure. Like this survey was is is just the first preliminary one. We are going to have to do way more research. Actually, my nonprofit is planning and is currently doing the very first piece of that research right now. Unfortunately, people in the UK can't take it. So I'm sorry. In the future when we go global, though, I'm going to send it to you so that you can share with everyone if they want to partake because it's really important that we start to document these unique therapeutic benefits. So mood regulation is one of them. Another one is focus and productivity. So it's interesting. Most people think cannabis makes people lazy, but a significant number of people will utilize cannabis to actually help them to focus and to get more things done. And then the last one is so close and so near and dear to my heart is overstimulation because sensory overstimulation is something that when I got diagnosed. When I understood that component of my brain, it changed my ability to regulate myself. When I understood that, you know, I'm not super light sensitive out of all things my wife is, but I am super sound sensitive. I'm very, very sound sensitive. I'm very, very touch tactile, tactile types of sensitivity and pretty much hypersensitive to everything, apart from, apart from heavy pressure and vestibular and proprioceptive stuff. So I have been sensitive, but I have like the most terrible proprioception on everyone. I feel like I'm kind of small, but somehow I'm running into everything like just all the time and I still don't know what the difference between vestibular, hypersensitivity and dyspraxia is. I'm still trying to find somebody who is dyspraxic, but not autistic. I can't I can't seem to find anybody. Interesting. There's all these overlaps, right? Like this is so these these accounts, like this was what was really like so powerful to me is that I opened this survey for literally just 24 hours. It was just a quick like, let's take a snapshot of those of us who are willing to contribute to this information. And I got over 2,000 respondents in 24 hours and over 600 people out of those 2,000 people wrote me a little message. I said, is there anything that you want to share like about your use? And I'm also posting this publicly, so it'll be it's anonymous. Like you can't see who posted what, but that, you know, you're if if you want to share your story, this is the moment because it literally is still on my website. If anyone wants to go look at it and read what other people had to say themselves from their own experience, it's up there. And there's 600 different little accounts, different things that people wanted to share. Some of them quite detailed about experimentation that neurodivergent people have used. And in the survey, it was mostly autistic ADHD people. There was like a smattering of a lot of other things and a small percentage of people who didn't identify as neurodivergent. But, you know, this is really powerful because it's something that in terms of you asked me earlier what my mission was and the mission of my life really changed when I started being open about using cannabis for my mental health and about being neurodivergent. And when I became out professionally about both of those things. My life changed drastically because people started really sharing their personal stories with me, you know, and I out of curiosity as a scientist, too, like I love the personal stories. I mean, human human data is always going to be the most important data for a pharmaceutical scientist. Like I I study drugs in the brain. I don't think that it's as important to look at what it does in mice as what it does in humans. That's just my opinion. I value the human in vivo, in vitro experimentation. I have weird feelings about mouse research because I did it. So I'm going to like be I'm going to take a step back and use some people in Thailand who did cardiovascular research. I'm so not a fan of I said, I said, no, thanks for the first few weeks. No, thanks for me. I was like, I don't know. They're they're really cute.  I mean, especially when it comes to neuroscience. So also like probably clear, but my special interest is the neurodivergent brain on drugs. Like it's been my special interest for, you know, since I was 15. Before that, my special interests were like way less interesting to other people. So like that part is actually nice. Like it happens to be something that I think can help other people. But, you know, I'm very. Like, well, because when you were saying about like, particularly for the sort of hyperactive kind of neurodivergent types.  But for the most of it, I'm autistic, not ADHD. Well, I don't know that I consider them different, but that's also a different. No, that's what I mean. That's a whole rabbit hole of like, I don't necessarily believe they're different. I think that they might be different expressions, right? Or different like, because from from me to you and like how I perceive your brain, like I don't perceive that you have like any less going on up here than me. It just has to do with like the expression, right? Like and so in terms of for that, like it is very, very similar in therapeutic benefit. It just like maybe looks different. And if anything, like you are probably more stoic and I have a lot of neurodivergent friends. I mean, I only I am pretty much only able to pay attention to neurodivergent people, I feel like I don't I don't really find neurotypical people interesting enough to like keep to keep my because I like the brain. I like brains. I like interesting brains. I like learning about people and I don't know. I do I do have a particular fascination with neurotypicals. That's kind of that's the angle at which I started my understanding because I just found them like very interesting. I'm not sure if this autism researcher. Do you think that they exist for real? I'm not convinced that they exist and that they're not just like neurodivergent people who are like really, really good at masking and like really, really like expending a ton of energy on that or something. I don't know. I maybe I can't I can't tell. I'm sure that they exist. I've had a couple of friends be like, well, I'm neurotypical and I'm kind of like, I don't think so. But you're welcome to think that way and I just won't say anything because, you know, sometimes that's like pretty insulting to sometimes people like I don't think disability is a bad word anymore. You know, like I I think that it comes with challenges. Certainly in that every every person is different. Different disabilities have different levels of challenges and like different types of disabilities also, right? So I'm not saying that I'm not saying that for everyone, disability is not a bad thing because it can be. It can be extremely challenging and it depends on your life circumstances and your your ability to provide for yourself. My particular sort of thoughts about like, like I've never viewed it as like necessarily like a bad thing, like as far as like viewing it through like the social model of disability, it's very that's very like applicable for me. But I think a word which is like characterised by an inability to do something feels quite like just the premise of it is negative. Not not meaning that it's like you're the words of the roots of the word is what you're saying because it's a disability. I feel that actually that's a really great point. I've never really thought about it that way. And that's the only that's the only thing. And it's like I don't mind calling myself disabled. It's just that I don't like I don't either. I don't think it's a bad thing. But the reason why I think has to do with advocacy because I think that like viewing disability that way and understanding disability is more powerful to be able to fight for like advocacy for rights. And like 100%. So like it's rooted in that, which is not it's like I've had conversations about this before, too, because the same thing with cannabis use, like what you're saying about like that the adult used the recreational use market like for me, like anyone who uses cannabis regularly, regardless of whether you have a medical card or not, it's likely medical, right? And there are problems with us, like over medicalizing our terminology. And at the same time, the reason why I do it is for advocacy because it is the most powerful route to getting access. It's the most powerful route for changing your legal, the legal perspective of the people who, you know, if if anyone here who's listening to like if you know your local legislation, like if you. Are involved with anyone within your local town or your local city who may be interested in learning more about the therapeutic benefits, about how that we could bring about community level change and how community level population level change with cannabis and with CBD like is happening and does happen and can work, you know, there's information available. But you could just send them this, right? Like, or you could send them anything does not to be this, you know, but you could you could send that I go with that. Yes, send this podcast. Share it about. Sure, it's it's interesting to subscribe and I mean, I think I think it's interesting because I think that it's perspectives that these are real perspectives and this is real data. And on one hand, this is new and it's new data. And like another data point I have to share is that our current study that we're running with four thousand five hundred people who've responded. And it's daily cannabis users, ninety one percent of people who use cannabis daily, seventy one percent of those people identify as neurodivergent. And it's it's a high overlap crossover. And I've been in the industry now for close going on five years. And I was in the academic research world of it before then. And I think I can say with confidence that like the stoners are my people. I am a stoner, I'm a stoner scientist. I'm part of this community. My friends and my community are people who use cannabis regularly, often and heavily, and we benefit from it medically. You know, I mean, thinking about it kind of people I've met at university and like sort of my life, who do who do that? Like it's I'm very hard to press to find anybody who uses it regularly, who either doesn't have mental health conditions or is is different in some way.  It's a we are coining it and we're we're publishing.  It is a specific subset of neurodivergent people who have chronic pain, GI issues and mental health issues that, you know, cannabis specifically happens to rebalance our systems. And, you know, it's not that's what I think is is like a really. You know, anything which which kind of touches on the aspects of like autism and mental health are fine to be, you know, something definitely like worth looking into because I know that specifically, like things, things like therapy that are not sort of guided by either another autistic person, neurodivergent person, or like a person who has a heavy amount of engagement with like the autistic community or knows people specifically within it, as well as understanding the different nuances of so it is very difficult to find that even in private practice, but also like it's pretty much impossible for you like general health care in the UK, like to find someone who is, you know, going to be good for you in that sense. It's the same year. So we definitely do have a gap like incredibly difficult and very high rates of mental health as well. And we don't we don't neuro we don't match. We don't match with with neurotypicals often in a way that allows us to have that open relationship, you know, with a therapist or with like a state to feel safe and seen in that mental health, you know, sort of system and no, it's a major this is a major issue. And it's actually one of the reasons why cannabis can be so helpful therapeutically that I don't know why this hasn't been used more readily because it's so easily accessible. But the psychedelic therapy model is like gaining speed, like you mentioned with MDMA. This is like it's clinical, but it's crazy. Like results that they've seen with, like, particularly, like, I think I saw something about psilocybin and like nicotine addiction, something. Yep. Crazy recovery rate compared to like the two or three percent that you get with like traditional nicotine nicotine was probably one of my most vicious addictions. Like I feel like every time I rank the top three, I change the order based on which drug I've had the most recently, which like I haven't had a benzo in a really long time. But the fact that it still makes my mouth water to think about it is kind of like, all right, that one was like clearly very addictive. And actually out of the three of the top three drugs that are the most addictive, that's the one I had a prescription for, right? It was like my prescribed medication. But the other two are alcohol and nicotine prescribed. I do get prescribed. Diet dies of harmful like panic attacks and meltdowns. I've never I've never particularly had an issue with it necessarily, but I definitely do relate to the nicotine. Aspects of the nicotine, like the the crave, the like the pull and the loneliness, like it's like an emotional addiction. It's like it's a heavy one. So, you know, there's been some really incredible stuff. And cannabis is interesting in that the endocannabinoid system and the serotonin system, which the serotonin system is what classic serotonergic psychedelics like psilocybin, like psilocybin, like LSD interacts with. The endocannabinoid system has a very close relationship with the serotonin system. It's actually something that I gave a presentation on last year. I'm I've been very interested in that intersection because I think that there's an increased therapeutic benefit to using less of both of them together. And it is very common for people to use them together. It's it's incredibly, incredibly common for people to mix psychedelics and cannabis. Endocannabinoid system is a think like a crazy widespread throughout like the entire body, which I think is why like it has such like a variety of different effects. And I was looking because there are like hot things that you produce like in your body, which are endogenous, like things things that you you produce yourself, which acts within the endocannabinoid system, like I think me. I don't know. Maybe THC is like an analog of anandamide, I think. It's not it's not an analog, but it's a memetic, a memetic, a memetic. It like imitates, it imitates it. Yes.  I used to be running all the time. Oh yeah. I'm an endurance athlete all the way for that reason, definitely. Anandamide is is a special one. And the other one is 2AG. And yeah, our bodies are creating them right now, like everyone. I know that used to be one of my favorite things I used to say when I would be like people, even if you're anti weed, your body is making an endocannabinoid like right now. And it's essential for our for our like brain survival.


It is the OLED featherwing 128 by 64 display. You can use that STEMI QT port to add another peripheral. So this is Bongo Cat. And if I hold these, these are gonna play a little sweep on the original Game Boy audio hardware. The extra bonus here is that you can see I've plugged into the STEMI QT port a little accelerometer. And as I tilt that accelerometer, it's a variable that changes the rate of that sweep. It's pretty short sweep if I'm at one, gets a little longer and even longer. On the side of the OLED, same pins as my feather, neokey feather there. OLED featherwing, it's 128 by 64, I squared C display with STEMI QT port.


Just I just said all that with no audio. Oh my god.

The following is a pre-recorded paid political broadcast sponsored by the Democratic National Committee on behalf of President Johnson's candidacy for the office of President. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. My fellow Americans, I want to talk to you about the military strength of our country. I do this because the choice that you make in this election may well be the most important choice that's ever made by American voters. The issue is not American strength. The issue is whether we will use this strength carefully, responsibly, and in the interests of peace. In the past four years, the United States has spent more than $200 billion on national defense. The result has been the greatest peacetime build-up of national strength of any nation in either peace or war. Today we have more than 1,000 atomic missiles ready for instant reply. This is 150 percent more than we had four years ago. It is far more than the communists have produced, and the number that we have is increasing. We have more than 1,100 strategic bombers. Each bomber carries more destructive power than all the guns of all the armies of World War II. Our enemy knows attack would bring his own destruction. This is our greatest insurance of peace. But in a world of many dangers, strength may take many forms. We must be ready to move to any part of the world swiftly to meet any kind of attack on freedom, on land, on sea, or in the air. We have raised the number of combat-ready divisions by 45 percent, and aircraft to support them by over 30 percent. They can be moved swiftly to dangerous spots by an airlift capacity which has gone up 75 percent. In Europe alone, we have nuclear firepower equivalent to the destruction of the 50 largest cities in America. Our armed forces are made up of the finest and the most dedicated men in America, ready to make any sacrifice for freedom. I speak as President of the United States, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and report that your country is stronger than ever, stronger than any possible enemy, stronger than the combined might of all the nations in all the wars in all the history of this planet. And I pledge to you that our superior RIT will continue to grow. This strength has a single purpose, the steadfast purpose of the United States for over 20 years. That purpose is peace in the world. Every American president has pursued that purpose. We must continue to follow that course. This great power does not belong with those who would use it recklessly. This great power does not belong with those who would use it to bully and to bluff other nations. This great power does not belong with those who will not work toward the lasting agreements which are the only sure foundation of peace. Your country will remain the strongest on earth. Your choice is whether we will continue to use that strength with the wisdom and the skill and the restraint which alone can protect freedom while moving us toward a world that's free from the fear of war. Ladies and gentlemen, you have just heard a message from the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson.


and welcome to this episode of Psychic Medium Tony G. I'm Tony G and guess what? I'm a psychic medium. So today I will be giving a reading to Yvonne. Yvonne is going to ask me hopefully many questions about her life and connect with loved ones on the other side and I just want to thank her for being brave enough to get an on-air reading. So Yvonne, welcome to the show. Thank you, thank you for having me. It's my pleasure and I'm so happy that you're here. So I want to start with a question from you. However, I keep hearing mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom and hearing it's going to be okay. You're worrying way too much. Everything will work out as it's supposed to. This might not be the way you plan things but it's the way it's going to happen. Stop being in denial, start being in acceptance and allow. Does this message make sense to you? Unfortunately. I usually wait until later in the show to make people cry. I'm so sorry. It's okay. And I don't mean to seem insensitive by giggling. No, I'm not feeling that way. I do want to let you know that the biggest message that she has and you have quite a few relatives that are actually over here. I usually see them over there but she's going to be the one speaking today and the biggest message that she has is you're okay. You're going to be okay. You have a really good support system. This might not be what you want but it is what you agreed to. This isn't what you want but it is what you agreed to. So please understand that whatever comes next it is going to be okay and you are going to be okay. You feel like you won't be able to go on and you have a lot of questions about I don't know if survival is the right word but how you're going to be able to do everything on your own? Is that accurate? Yes. Okay. Thank you for confirming that. We all go through a phase in our life where we have to learn that independence whether we do it at a younger age or an older age.  They're just telling me you don't want to be strong. You kind of like being where you are. Who wouldn't love it to just be able to take a break from having to pull out that inner empowerment and strength and being able to be okay. It's really important for you to know that you are going to be okay. Now I know that you feel like you're not. You feel like you are not going to be okay and things are not going to work out and you don't know what you're going to do when all is said and done. The first thing they want you to know is this is inevitable. Don't be in denial. The second thing they want you to know is it's okay to be hopeful but not in denial. You're going to have a lot of responsibility on your plate that you're kind of trying to push off and not deal with. Is that accurate? There are certain things you should be doing right now that you're kind of saying you'll take care of that later and some of this has to do with paperwork and some of it has to do with legalities, doesn't it? That I'm not seeing but maybe there's something I'm missing. Okay. If it's not there now it's going to be coming in very soon. Somebody's going to make a request of you. You have to honor that request. You're not going to want to but you have to. When the request comes in you'll know what it is. Has the request already happened? I hear yes and no. So it may have happened once but it's going to happen again or it may have been talked about in the past but you're in a little bit of denial about it now. It would be much easier if the tables were turned in some ways. What does that mean? Let me be as delicate as I can. If you weren't going if you felt like you don't I need to say this very carefully so give me a moment because they're pretty blunt. They're trying to just lay it down bluntly and I'm trying to be very very delicate. This would be so much easier for you if you didn't have to make the survival decisions and be the person that has to handle all of this. In a way it might be easier for you if you were the one that had to let everybody else make these decisions and decide everything and you could kind of be in the opposite position. If I were the one that was ill. Yes thank you. It would be easier for you and you kind of not would like it. Like it better is a bad way of putting it but it would be so much easier for you because you don't want this responsibility. You don't want to have to make these decisions. You don't want to have to deal with what's coming. You want to be in denial and pretend it's not happening and they're saying and again they're very blunt because somebody up there is saying get your head out of the sand.  Look at it practically. What difference does it make? It's going to make a huge difference. I mean if one part of you knows the reality but the other part says just don't deal with it. It's the devastation when it happens that makes the difference. Okay. If if if or when it's the devastation of having that hope and being in denial and not looking at everything completely realistically that devastation that comes in that moment when all of that denial is put in our face. And you think that you can prepare for that? Are they think that I can prepare for that? I don't know that it's a matter of preparing for it as much as it's a matter of being a little bit more in a space of acceptance of it. There's no way to prepare. I want to be very clear about that. I want to be painfully clear about the fact that there's no way to prepare and there's no way to feel like it will ever be okay when that moment or those moments come. But being in a space where you are a little bit more accepting might be healthier in the long run. Well I know I'll go ahead. The way I would would compare it is you can take your medicine a little at a time or all at once. And I know that's not the best analogy for this particular situation and they know how very painful this is going to be for you. But they want you to know you're going to be okay. It's going to be okay.  Is that accurate? Yes. Okay. They're asking you to try to buffer your own mind, mediate how bad you let that vision get. And I know that's difficult. Listen, my sister's oldest son had brain cancer and he was diagnosed when he was five. For eight years she fought a really good fight for him. And in the end it was what it was. And there's no power in that moment. So I understand the denial and the hope now if we can possibly be in a space where we are minimizing how bad it will be once they're gone it's much healthier for us. Does that help a little bit? Yeah and I know that that I'm going to get the answer when I ask you this. So I'm prepared. But how long is my life going to be precarious? Oh precarious and you're not going to like this answer because they speak sometimes in what seems like a riddle but it's not as long as you let it be. Okay I guess I have to ask this differently. How long will it be until my life changes drastically? I'm getting two separate answers and I want to tell you how much your life changes is dependent upon you and whether it changes for the worse or just changes for a different way is up to you also. Okay I hear a month and then I hear a year. Okay. So there might be something that happens in a month and then something that happens within the year. Okay now I do want to say no matter what happens and however much time that it's important to just embrace have fun and nobody wants to be remembered by their last experience as this experience is. People want to be remembered for the fun and the love and the good ways that they changed people's lives but we hold on to that last moment that death. Like my nephew who passed when he was 13 was so funny and amazing but it's always that last bit that we go to and that's the emotion we carry about him and that makes him really sad. I mean he taught me like one day when he was in his bed and he had lost his vision and it was very difficult for my sister by this point but she went in his room to say good night to him and he said he said mommy do you see the angels and she said what angels he's I'm gonna cry again he said the angels they're there and she said no why are they here he said they're here for me mommy just very matter of fact he knew he was very accepting of it and she of course like mother would said don't you dare go with them don't you dare and he said no mommy they told me you're not ready yet so they have a way of waiting until we're prepared but that can't take too long because we are never ready we are never prepared okay we are never ready for that but know that there are already angels there there are already angels in waiting okay there are choices that have to be made here I wasn't joking about that tissue earlier you need it I would share this with you but you'd appreciate that there are already angels in waiting but we always have angels around us no matter what phase of our life we're in whether we're just being born in that transition or whether we're ready to go back home and we're in that transition and every transition in between we always have angels with us so I want you to know that he is not the only one that has angels with him they are going to help you get through this process also and I can't imagine what it would be like to be in your shoes and to have to go through what you're going through right now because I honestly personally I don't know if I could do that I don't so I know how brave you are and how strong you are for being able to do that they're just asking to please have a little bit more acceptance for some of the things that are might be coming through and I hope that makes sense to you well it's not what I wanted to hear but I'm sorry they don't tell us what we want to hear they tell us what we need to hear to prepare us and most people would say I don't want to hear anything bad and I'm like well don't look at it as something bad look at it as something that's going to help you prepare for whatever is coming down because these things are going to happen no matter what it's but if we nobody wants to be blindsided will he be prepared he wouldn't be in the position he would he is in if he wasn't well he doesn't seem accepting he might have a bit of denial but he has a knowing also he feels like he should have done more for everybody he feels like he is questioning how how he's he is trying to he's okay thank you he's assessing his life and trying to figure out how he could possibly make up for some things he feels like he may not have always I don't want to say made the best choices but he also feels like like I think any of us at that point in our life will feel like did I do enough I just want one more moment I want to be able to tell everybody I love him one more time that's why I always tell everybody just be that love now don't wait for that day because you might not get a time frame it might happen instantaneously just be love now share love now tell people you love them now don't wait I am going to tell you he has a he has a knowing of what's coming but he has a little bit of denial about about it or a little bit of hope like what if but he knows it's not going he knows but he's making very serious decisions as if the future was going to be there maybe he's making those decisions for make no mistake angels are helping him make those decisions and there can always be a very little bit of denial everybody always has hope hope is what keeps us going without hope there is no existence yeah that's true but there is a knowing inside of him of the truth in one okay well I guess that another question is you know that I have a lot of anxiety about driving yes am I going to be able to manage that not at first just because you're going to be devastated but you will get better out of necessity trial by fire that's great yes you will you will get better because you'll have to but you also have an amazing support system that will help you okay well um now I'm going to ask you I lost my dog and he has never come to me he has you've just not experienced it you've not felt it or seen it when my little girl dog Bella went home my baby girl went home I saw her leave her body I saw her jump out and smile at me she went home and talked to me all that night the next morning she got out of bed she stood by the doorway was like come back to bed Bella get back in this bed now you get back in this bed right now and an angel came behind her and I said okay I saw the angel I saw her I said okay you can take her later that afternoon she reappeared and I've seen her every single moment since then she shows up as a green orb in my pictures there it's amazing when my little guy went home afterwards like a couple months later he went home and this was in September and I'm just now being able to see him so when we're ready we will see what we can see if I would have seen him then I would have been just devastated I would not have been able to handle it he even showed up in my dreams as a lab instead of a hairless Chinese crusted because it would have just been so devastating for me what color was the lab it is it's a yellow lab I lost a black one that's why I ask you that uh see but when we're ready we feel them around us they but that doesn't mean they're not there it just means that when we're ready they can make their presence known until then we just have to heal we have to recover her and people will often say to me I haven't had a dream about this person or my pet or they haven't come to me our pets will show up as the most amazing things in our dreams if we're not ready to see them so just keep that in mind that one time max my little guy showed up as a baby elephant rolling in the mud so how did you know it was him just to knowing when I woke up I knew it was him I just knew it was why would I dream about a baby elephant also yeah I guess are there other things that is there anybody else that would like to talk to me well they're all here okay and you're I keep hearing mom mom mom is the mouth is the mouthpiece or the one that is speaking for everybody I want you to know that you are going to be okay that's her biggest message for you today you will survive this you will be okay you're so much stronger than you think you are you're so much stronger than you want to be I personally I get that she's saying that you have so much inner strength that you have not tapped into and that you're going to start tapping into it very soon sometimes we become strong out of necessity not out of want and they just the biggest message they keep saying is you are going to be okay you're going to survive this and even though you don't like this statement you are going to survive him it's the hardest thing in the world to do and it's going to be a painful transition for you he's going to be fine he'll go home right away when when it's time and he'll be trying to console you from the other side but you are going to be okay and you are going to dig into those resources inside of you and find that inner strength that you have even though you don't want to I'd be happy eventually eventually they're asking that you think about the good times and the fun and be grateful for the times that you had and the amount of time that you had so when my little and I'm not trying to in any way compare my my my baby girl to your husband but one of the messages I had was be grateful for every moment you had with her not for the moment she's not there and I it like turned me around immediately just the whole way I thought about things now there's a grieving period make no mistake of that don't get caught in it what does that mean don't stay there too long don't stay there too long allow yourself to be okay when you're ready to be okay and no even though you won't be able to see him he's not leaving you you're just not able to physically see him the same way any longer okay so can I hear from my dad can I request hearing yeah we'll have to do that on the next show because my mom is taking over well and because we have like 60 seconds left about wow that went so fast right yes it did I want to thank you for being so brave and sharing this very very intimate and very difficult part of your life with me and with this show and your mom and everybody up there is saying that they love you you're going to be okay they're going to surround you during this time and send you just as much love as they possibly can they are helping you now and around you at all times now please don't feel like please do not feel like you are going through this alone and they're saying we've all gone through it ourselves and we're going to be here to support you while you go through it okay please please please know that and I want to tell you as soon as you as soon as you're ready after the fact come to me okay thank you so much for being a guest today I'm so grateful and honored to be able to guide you in these very very difficult moments and I want to thank everybody for joining us today on this episode of Psychic Medium Tony G until next time have an amazing day
