 Hey, it's Bridgette. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope today. Another channeling video on our channel and Okay, so I got to tell you. I'm not sure who I want to talk to because I've been getting some earfuls from some of my favorite celebrity guests and while I appreciate that, it's like Let me just tell you, you guys, you have to believe me when I tell you that you can connect with celebrities, you can get spirit guidance from them, you can get life guidance and advice from them just like you could an archangel, a deity, a god goddess aspect, a saint, just like that. You don't pray to them. You just feel their energy and connect to them. You can use a journal to do that. You can use meditation to do that and in fact on Above Life Channel here, there are there are meditations you can use to connect with like Prince and the afterlife, for example. So there are ways you can connect and they do help. They totally help just like I can connect with my dad in the afterlife and ask for help. So too can you. It's not an elite thing. It's not like just for special people. So I just I need to say that. So I've been going through some stuff the last few weeks and you know, I initiated a clearing in the beginning of August and I connected to the energies of 20 years since my dad's death and so that first week in August was kind of a blur for me. It was a lot of grief. There's a lot of feeling of loss and some recognition of disconnection from the old parts of myself, too. And I've been sharing my journey on Bridget inspired Instagram and on fairy grasshopper YouTube. So fairy grasshopper YouTube have been super open and cheering on my vlog. So because of that and then I also got the COVID just for the record. I've had the COVID. I still I got a little I had a little dip yesterday again. It's been two weeks now, but since I had it and I do feel way better and stuff. But yesterday had a little bit of a I have the aftermath that had cold part. I didn't have a little bit of a dip and I was just really tired. And so I tried to take care of myself. And it seems like in those quiet times during when I was really sick with the COVID. That's when these spirit guys are talking because I can hear them because I'm not too busy doing other things. I'm not too busy ignoring and being distracted by intuition. Does this sound familiar to you? I bet it does. So so there are multiple celebrities right now that are kind of around me giving me advice. I'm like, oh, please. OK. So there's two that I really want. There's one that I really want to talk to. But there's another one that's kind of pushing them out of the way, I think. So we'll see what happens here. OK. I know by the time you see this, you're going to have you'll see the title. So you'll know what I'm channeling. I don't know just yet right now. I'm just going to wait because there's two of them literally here. I might have to do two different people and then share them in the next coming weeks. Robin Williams. All right. Thank you. Thank you. You are the one that I I mean, it's Robin Williams and Prince. Those are the two that I can feel to want to channel with you today. And Prince has been bugging me a bit, so we'll have to have talk with Prince, too. Today we're going to talk to Robin Williams in the afterlife. Hello, Robin. It's nice to see you. Yes, I recently, yeah, we recently crossed a threshold where he it was the anniversary of his death date. It's interesting because he feels very couched in recovery or the vibe of people who have been in addiction and are trying to overcome that, whether it be alcohol or drug abuse or other types of addiction, which right at my desk here, I have the melody baby book, the meditations for journey to the heart daily meditations on the path to freeing your soul. If you are in recovery or you're on a sobriety journey, then melody baby's work might be familiar to you or if you have a family member, that is. And if you don't, you need to check her stuff out. OK, melody baby wrote a book called Codependent No More, and it's a big deal. It helps you understand how you are in relationships and what's healthy and what's not and living for another person and what you're responsible for, what you're not. It's like a whole kind of understanding of kind of destructuring the the patterns that are not healthy during addiction within relationships. So and including the relationship with yourself. So I have this book because it's one of her meditations for daily meditations. So you just read it and it gives you positive vibes. And I just love that. And he and I were talking about that the other day about how much this this kind of stuff is helpful. He says a really Robin says, a really great book is. It can change everything, you know, he says, you can you can really change a person's entire outlook by giving them a great book. He says, that's interesting. I know did you guys know Robin Williams was big into reading? He's just saying a great book like they can a book can change your whole life. He says, he's showing me his wife. He's like saying, yeah, talk about codependent. He says, I was no picnic. I was no picnic. He's showing me like, have we talked about alcohol abuse with you? He's showing me sobriety stuff like in and out of. And also we know mixed in with his help. We know he had help, very real health issues too. But he says it's like all wrapped up in there like a it's like a big cocktail, you know, multiple things. He's like, it was it was hard to say what would lead to my demise. Ultimately, I'm like, OK, it's not funny, Robin. Oh, let me ask you this random question. I think about him as like more from work, not new, not new, you know. OK, am I dating myself? More from work, not new, not new. Do you guys remember that? Come on. Some of you are way too young for that. But some of you know exactly. I'm talking about working in the TV show way back. And I had to have been the 70s because I was watching I was a really young or it was reruns. So all right. But he I was thinking I was going to ask him about being like superhero like because it gives me the superhero vibe and then I see more for the work, you know, talk to us about superhero. What do you mean by that? Why is that coming in? That is a great place to start, Robin. Why is it coming in? It's like, can you see me cast as the Green Lantern? I'm like, huh, not really. Is that a Marvel thing? I'm not. Oh, boy. People are going to be just raking me over the calls in the comments. I don't know, you guys, I don't know. I'm not well versed in the superhero universe. So superhero, talk about that. What do you mean? He says, ah, everyone is looking for someone to be their superhero, to save them, to come in and save you this big romantic gesture of of just sweeping you off your feet and taking you off to someplace different, someplace new, start a new life, all this this romanticizing, this fresh start energy and this person that just comes in and just takes care of you and everything's good. And I'm like, OK, well, that's kind of a heteronormative, like white knight kind of like a knight in shining armor kind of vibe, princess to be rescued kind of vibe. But I don't think that's what you're talking about. Keep going. He says, we get to choose. We get to choose to be the hero. We get to choose to recognize that the hero often has a tragedy, has a tragic background. There's usually a reason why that person is so motivated into service. It's so motivated to be this icon of goodness, of of savior, dumb, he says, savior, dumb, this Jesus in tights in a cape kind of Robin Williams, not Bridget Robin Williams, Jesus in a tight and cape. He says, and he says, it's not. It's not that there aren't. There isn't a need for people in your life to take care of you and to support you and to love you and and to have support structures. And he's saying like counseling and and doctoring and and and all sorts of different types of therapy that can support you and help you to stay in a right mindset so you stay productive and healthy and focused, he says. But we have come to rely too much on this notion of this fantasy of someone else rescuing us. And we believe it. He says, we buy into it as the person who is feeling low. We buy into it as the person who is feel feels less than capable. And he says, that's the problem. That's the problem. When you're in this dark hole, anything looks like light. He says, that's the problem. That's the problem. The light could be an oncoming train or a car and you're standing in the middle of the road and it's not that. He says, it's not that it's you. And it's not. And he doesn't want to say like the cliche, like, well, you're your own hero, be your own hero, because that's he says, that's not realistic. We're in relationships. You have people in your life, you have family, you have coworkers, you have have communities that you belong to, whether it be like a or a church or like PTA at school or whatever that looks like to you. He's like, you have that. And so to function within that is something that is to be a benefit to you, not cause your demise, all of these people that you're connected and networked with are not out for your demise. They're out for trying to figure out their own situation. He's like their own shit. That's what Robin says. These people are trying to and the networks that you're involved in trying to figure out their own shit. They're so wrapped up in their own shit. He said, you are so wrapped up in your own stuff that you cannot see. How the people that are already in your life are here to support you and how you have so much control over how you get help, how you get what you need. You have control. It's not. He says, it's not some random passerby coming to help you. It's not some good Samaritan. You got to stop waiting for a good Samaritan and call AAA and get a tow truck. It's like, don't just wait for somebody to come by and help you on the highway. Call and get shit done. That's what he's saying. So the power is in our hands is what he's saying. The power is ours. He says, the problem is, is when you add on. The stress and the pressure of life, maybe like a big work project or an illness or, he says, it can create so much extra. Friction that your mind can start to begin to feel like you can't control. You can't. You don't have power or he's saying, you aren't capable. Your mind starts to get into a place it can very quickly. He says, get into a place where you don't have control and you don't feel capable. And if you start to buy into that and believe that and you will, he says at times, you will no doubt question your worth. That's a human thing. That is how I welcome to humanity. Just know that at lunch, instead of making your piece, we're going to give you a side of a feeling less than. OK, today it's a less than vibe for you. And by the way, this is going to come up over and over again. So you got to get used to feeling worthless at times, not all the time, but just sometimes it's on the menu like that kind of vibe. Wow, Robin, you're on a roll. Keep going. I love it. So it's this perpetual cycle. If you begin to believe and use it as a value that you are not capable or that you can't learn or that you can't help yourself, then you're going to be constantly trying to prove how you don't need anybody, how you can do everything alone. And the truth is, you can't. You need everybody and you can't do things alone, not successfully, especially when it comes to you because you need another person's perspective. And it's not just one other view, he says, you need multiple different views so that you can make very informed decisions about your life. You cannot use the excuse that life is too hard. He says, you can't use that excuse. You can't be a poor me. All these things have happened to me. Therefore, I'm this. No, he says, it's like the superhero in the cape and the tights. It's like, take off the cape and the tights, put on your regular clothes and go to the gym and do the work. So it's the vibe isn't about saving yourselves. You guys, do you see that? He's not talking about that. He's showing a different dynamic of how it's like it's easy to blame our relationships or our job or other things outside of ourselves for how we feel when the truth is these feelings are meant to be these passerbys and not and to bring us maybe deliveries like the messengers. You know, maybe the FedEx or the UPS, right? And they bring the stuff. And then it's what we do with the stuff that matters to us. And guess what? We ordered the stuff. Why? Because we need information. We need clarity and feelings are a drop stop and what do I do? Vibe, OK? Feelings give us that info. Feelings are energy connected to our heart space and you're an empath. That's why you're watching an empath means you feel everything. And so then you have to sift and sort and decide what what pieces of information are useful right now and what aren't. And that those that aren't just let them flow down by consider a river of emotion and energy, let it flow down by do not become it. The problem is, it seems like we've layered upon layered upon layered our identities based upon all the circumstances and situations and exchanges we've had over our lifetime has created multiple capes, multiple uniforms, multiple layers and layers and layers of clothing. Oh, my God, do you know what I'm seeing right now? And I know you were on an episode of Friends. I just see you on the couch. Robin Williams, I see you on the couch at Central Perk. Sit in there talking. I see that episode in my head. And I'm literally seeing the episode of Friends where Joey, they were trying to get ready to go to a big thing for Ross. It was like a big night and everybody's trying to get ready. And Ross is like, come on, you guys, come on. The car is going to be here. The car is going to get ready, get ready. And Jody or Jody, Joey. Whoops, Joey and Chandler, Chandler were arguing. They're like bickering back and forth and about clothes or something or what they're going to wear or whatever. And so Joey leaves and he goes and literally puts on a ton of clothes and he comes back and he says, all right. He's like, you do this, I'm going to wear everything you own. And Chandler's like, what? He's like, that's so not the same. And Joey's like, oh, maybe I should do lunges. And he's doing lunges, like trying to get all sweaty in the clothes. And it's just such a funny episode. Oh, my God, it cracks me up. But that's kind of the vibe. Joey, with all the layers of clothing on, that's the energy we have picked up over our lifetime. OK, over our lifetime from people who've been good and not so good for us. But we've kept it. We've kept all that crap as ours. It's not ours anymore. You can take some of it off. It's time to change the wardrobe. Is that about accurate? And now I see the bird cage. Oh, my God, I love that movie. Oh, darling, I love that movie. So good. Oh, my gosh. Can I remember the bird cage one? Oh, my gosh. OK, that's good. That's good. Oh, my God. OK. I think it was called Bird Cage. Wasn't it called Bird Cage? I think so. I can't remember exactly. But anyway, it's like I have a whole bunch of OK, I know. All right. So you're encouraging us to recognize that we have capacity and that when we feel darkness and things are really heavy, we should reach out for help. We should recognize that. Instead of just picking the next shiny thing, we should reach out and consider just a multitude of resources and utilize to the best of our ability, the people and the support that is already there because it is. Not everyone's going to be the right fit for what you're dealing with. But no doubt, you need a lot of different types of support, not just one or two kinds of things. OK, so just be open to that. That's how it feels. Thank you. Wow, that's just a really good conversation. You're awesome. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, that codependency thing. That's a thing. That's real. I know, I know I read the book twice and now I'm on my third time reading it because it just helps understand relationships in general and like our roles in it, especially as empaths. I think the codependency no more book, although in the beginning, the first several chapters until like chapter, I think four or five. It gives stories about specifically about addiction scenarios with like alcoholics and I think someone a drug user. I can't remember. I think it was alcoholics and maybe a sex addiction one stories and to help just understand like the dynamics and things like that. But after those chapters, then it gets into like attachment styles and communication styles and all sorts of stuff that really. And then there's activities because it's written by like a therapist and to kind of go through and really think about things like what matters to you, how you're responding, how you've lost your identity in the person's drama that they have and in trying to save them or fix it kind of thing and make excuses for them to. There's a whole bunch of stuff, you know, and how doing that actually prevents people from taking responsibility for their actions because they never quite fall all the way down because you're protecting them from that. You keep holding them, you know, and it destroys you and the relationship totally destroys the relationship. So anyway, it's a good book. You should check it out, you guys, all right. You should definitely, definitely check it out. All right. So thanks, Robin. That was a great conversation. Thank you so much. Thank you for watching here. I'm Bridget. Thank you for watching above life channel here on YouTube. I hope I've inspired your spirit and filled you with some hope today and encourage you to live your life.
