 He's reincarnated. You got to know what my dad went through. I'm going to tell you because he's not going to because he's too too polite or good of a man to tell you about his struggles. You know, he's grateful. He's got gratitude and he feels blessed. Okay. Hi, it's Bridget at Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and fill you up with hope. This weekly channeling video, we have sort of a theme I wanted to connect with some of my favorite Christmas singers or singers of songs that I love around the holiday season. And so it seems quite fitting that we bring in Nat King Cole for this afterlife conversation. I hope you enjoy it. So of course, without even giving it a second thought, we've got to bring in Natalie Cole as well, his daughter. They are both in the afterlife. So let's bring them in. It's interesting because I wanted to chat with you but I wasn't really sure what to ask you or what to talk with you about. May I call you Nat or do you prefer Mr. Cole or he says, oh, call me Nat. He says, oh, call me Nat. No problem. Call me Nat. Call me Nat. He says, I see him on a piano right away. Beautiful piano, very, and it's really lacquered, like shiny release. He said it's a fancy one, you know. He said, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how fancy it is or how prestigious it is or how expensive it is. He said it's just, it's a piano is a piano. You can play anywhere, anytime and make just beautiful sound. He says, all right. And I see your daughter with you as well. Of course, I wanted to be polite and invite her in too. I know that my memory, I know that the two of you sang together and in like, I remember seeing the song Unforgettable with Natalie in the front singing and beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous voice, gorgeous voice. And with you on a screen in the back, you know, and your voice was being brought in as well. And so that was such a beautiful combination of energy. So can I start with that? So what, what, what do you think, what do you think of that Nat? I mean, that's kind of an interesting place to start, but let's start there. What do you think of that? Sometimes during performances, entertainment, the, the singer who is no longer with us in human form will be superimposed on a big screen that was sort of done with Prince at the Super Bowl show in 2018. And that was all also done at a concert, a queen concert with Freddie Mercury in the background as well. And so those are just two examples that I know. So what did you, how do you feel about that? And what's your opinion or view on that? He says, it's, it's quite all right. He said, it's quite, it's quite right. He said, it was my daughter. He said, it was my daughter. I can't speak for others. He says, I can't speak for others, but it was my daughter. It was my daughter. He has a great smile. You have a great smile. His smile is just huge, you guys, huge, like big smile. And there's a lot of, it just like, well, of course, like, of course I would do that. I would be, I would be, of course I'd be okay with that. He says, you know, it's kind of nostalgic, isn't it? That, well, music itself, song brings up memories for many. And it's through song that we can, we can reconnect with times in our lives that maybe we're happier or better. And for me in my life, he says, I, I tried to write songs. He said, I tried to write music. He said, I don't feel that I was as good at writing music as I was at playing or singing music. But he says, when I tried to write music, it was really about that, that feeling, that reflection, you know, having a reflective quality is something that, that endures. It does endure. It lives throughout time. And I feel that that's probably, he says, okay, so he's saying, that's a constant, that you will find that in other, in other musicians' theming. It's interesting, the way that we're communicating, okay, now I'm getting pushed in and kind of down a little bit. The way that we're communicating is I'm hearing chunks of dialogue, phrases, a little staccato like short phrases, sentences even, which is clear audience, my friends who are watching. And then I just got kind of this feeling. And it's like I just got gifted, like all of a sudden my belly kind of feels warm. And everything opens up. So kind of what just happened is almost a transference of information or knowledge, which is like the intuition or the gift of knowing or clear cognizance in some cases, but some would associate that with the mind. But it's in my tummy is where I get it. I received this information and then it kind of opens up and expands. So this is how I'm getting information from that. We have no commonalities, you and I, my human life, nothing like I can't even relate to your life as a singer, as an entertainer, as a black man who grew up in the entertainment industry that was dominant with white people. And here I am, the white person talking to you and I feel kind of I'm not sure what to it just it feels kind of different. It feels it feels a bit awkward for me. But it feels like this is important and I want to speak with you and I love your the Christmas song. I love your I have a CD of yours with beautiful Christmas music and I have such a respect for your incredible voice. But I also feel like that's a bit superficial, quite frankly, because I feel like back in the time that you were a performer, that you didn't get the respect that your voice earns, that your gift earns. It's not just about your having a commodity or having a voice or having the talent. It's not just about a commodity and other people just taking advantage of that. But it's about recognizing beauty everywhere that it is. And he kind of leans forward and he said, you're talking about like civil rights and growing up and in the the 50s and the 60s, right? That's what you're talking about. Well, yeah, yeah, I recognize that I can't relate to the struggles that you've had. And I have talked to lots of entertainers and singers like Frank Sinatra and for just for example, kind of in that genre a little bit. And there's like no comparison. Like when I connect with you, there's not like this freedom and this boisterous energy that comes through and this like prominence. There's not a prominence. There's not like a levity. And it bothers me. It feels uncomfortable for me because I feel like you like taught just connecting with you and feeling your energy as you gifted to me and my solar plexus so I can speak about it here in my tummy so I can speak about it. It feels like you have, it feels like you're genuinely happy, like you're genuinely grateful, thankful for your life. But it also feels like you're a man that has some passions and maybe had a little bit of a temper. I can also see that are getting frustrated with yourself or with the circumstances or situation that situations that were presented to you around you. But I also don't see you angry at like the civil rights stuff and the segregation piece. I don't see you necessarily angry about that. I see you angry about, I just want to say angry. I see you fired up about, it's sort of like I feel like you wanting other people around you to be treated fairly isn't the right word. I see you getting angry about like your fellow musicians and the the access that they have or did not have because of this color of their skin. Let's just call it what it is because it's true it's racism. And right now where we're at here in 2018 when I'm recording this video we've had a huge rise in all sorts of discrimination and racism and gender and sexism all sorts of stuff is just really ramp like ramped up right now and everybody's really aware of it. But it's making a lot of clashes you know so I wish I could say it's gotten better but I don't know because I didn't live, I didn't live, I didn't live in your skin so I don't know but I feel like your legacy though like okay so when I'm watching or listening to when I'm watching Christmas movies which I love old Christmas movies and when I'm listening to Christmas songs I'm hearing a whole bunch of white people and maybe I'm listening to the wrong things I don't know maybe I'm not looking for it but it seems like that's the big these voices you know are all all the same all from one type of peoples and connecting with you makes me want to open to other maybe some other not as well publicized or promoted let's say that talents of the time. He says you should check out he says you should even the Motown stuff he said you should check out the early days in Detroit he says you know like Aretha Franklin he says you you spoke with Aretha he's telling me he's like you spoke with Aretha he's like Bridget he's like Bridget you don't need to feel guilty about racism that I encountered or how I'm not about me not being as famous or well known as others you don't need to you don't need to carry that he says that's not the point of us talking so tell me what the point of us talking is because you have come up over and over again for me and I have not been quite able to connect for myself he says that's on you he says that's on you that's you he says you got to stop worrying about what other people think he says you're very sincere he says to me you're very sincere okay yes thank you thank you so why are we talking that why is it so important to bring you forward especially during this holiday season at this time that's the time we're doing this video he says um he's telling me you want to make a point of it you want to make a point of it okay can you say more about that it's a time when many are lost in comparison and many are forgetting what brought us here and now is the time to remind people and it's not just reminding you about your family and what matters it's it's reminding you about how you got to this point as a country as a nation that's important it's not like I was some big activist either like he's not showing me that and he's he's just saying hey I just I do my work I do what I can I take care of things and I just do my work you know I do my work share my gifts my talents he doesn't say gift he doesn't refer to it it's that I say gift because clearly his voice is incredible and there's a motion here his daughter is here Natalie I mentioned and she says dad dealt with a lot dad put up with a lot dad put up with a lot dad is really humble and he's not going to say because he's a proud man too and he won't say that it was hard and it was not fair and it was not fair she says it was not fair it was not fair that some of those like she said she's saying to me like a Hollywood mogul Hollywood moguls treated him so unfairly and like he didn't get the same pay not nearly the same pay not the not the respect not the opportunities not the um the he's trying to contract she's trying to contract that other white people got and she says but that didn't make dad bitter dad's not bitter he said my father she says my father is a proud man and he would not be bitter he would not take it out on someone else that he would be performing at the same stage with who had less talent than he did and they would make he would make maybe a third of the money let's just be clear on that let's be real clear on that but dad made sure we never knew it that we never knew the struggles he had we never knew how different things were for him and couldn't pay her son to others he said she says um she's telling me there were times though when people made fun of her or she was teased i think she has a brother there's another little boy that she's with us african-american as well and it feels like they were bullied or teased or picked on or that kind of a thing and like i see right outside i see a really i see a pretty house really nice um house nice manicured lawn nice house nice nice neighborhood and like kind of like middle class upper middle class kind of neighborhood is what i would maybe compare it to and i see a long walkway with like um hedges like short hedges on it and so really nice lawn manicured lawn and i see her with like a dress and like a a little cardigan with a collared white shirt and then i see the like little um bobby socks and i see um her with her school bag right there and i and i feel like she feels really innocent really just you know how children are just so just innocent and accepting and just really open and kind and stuff and i feel like there was a change like something happened where um people were mean cruel she says cruel she said they were cruel to me and they were cruel she said they were cruel and she said but um she said dad and she said mama made sure that we knew that it wasn't because of us and that we needed to pray for them we needed to bless them and that god needed to be the one to judge them or to punish them that that was not our job so religion was important it feels like she said yeah faith you know god belief in god and prayer i see georgia georgia alabama area i don't know if you were from there or if your mother was from there but i feel you're connecting with mom i feel mom energy nat i would love to know um do you have uh i'm i'm curious i just like talk i like this how this is unfolding and talking but i want to keep it interesting also for the viewers so can you chat with me a little bit about do you have a favorite song or maybe a favorite performance that you did i don't know where the apollo theater is i don't know where that is he said are you familiar with the apollo so i said no um and it looks like he's with a band he said my band and i like he doesn't feel like a solo guy he feels like my band it's always us together doing stuff and then i also see him on television like uh like in my time it'd be like the johnny karshan store tonight show but it's not it might be ed sullivan or somebody else it's somebody else it's before that before that he's like oh way back he said you go you gotta go way back you gotta go farther back than that he might have been the first african-american that was on tv as a band or something there's some kind of a there's some kind of a precedent or some kind of a breaking a barrier that he did and that and it was about television something about television oh did you have a christmas special and he says and then he says abc nbc like abc he says and then i see the nbc i hear abc and i see nbc um so big network it feels like public tell like television like televised yes he said yeah yes yes he says yes yes he's like yeah you're getting closer i'm like okay sorry all right so um can you talk a little bit about what it was like to transition into the afterlife when you left your body and then talk a little bit about what it's like to be spirit it's an important piece to connecting with the afterlife here at above life channel he says it was a bit bumpy when i checked out he said it was a bit bumpy a little bit bumpy at first it almost feels like there's a heart something going on like the heart it starts and stops i don't know if you had multiple heart attacks or what's going on but i feel like his heart's stopping and starting stopping and starting so he didn't like they thought he died but then he didn't die and then i don't know i don't know if you had more than one instance or episode whatever the deal is with the heart maybe the lungs are involved too um heart lungs this um bit bumpy he said it was a bit bumpy when i checked out um i also see i see the month of october i don't know if that what significance that is if i see october and then i also see oh this is weird um i also see being in california but down southern california so i don't know if it's like palm springs and a barbara it's not necessarily hollywood but there's another place there's a different place that's down so like san diego maybe or something but there's another place that's down that feels like a place that's a good place for you or has happy memories or positive experience there um edda he said edda fits gerald he just said edda right away he said edda um i don't know if he respected her looked up to her or if they performed together um he said i knew aretha he said that alone um i don't know if it's no of her or are they actually performed together i can see him with uh frank sanatra i can see him with like a good old boys network kind of in like a club performing in like hollywood or something i can see that i can see um frank sanatra i see being crossby but that's just because i need to channel him and let's see uh i feel like there's a son too there's a boy or there's somebody that died somebody else that died this younger a younger man a boy that died or a child that died unless it was a brother maybe it was a brother i see some other people in the afterlife family related with you um so when i asked what is it like to be in the afterlife or what is it like to be an afterlife spirit then you then i started to see all these other people that have died before you that are there or that have died since is it both he says well he said it's everything everybody's together he said the energy is all together all the people are together um he says it's like a reunion so did you still perform or sing in the afterlife that's a really good question i think people will be interested in yes he says yes yes i do i teach i'd spend a lot of my time teaching i work with um young people or musicians who are finding their voice and find some for some finding their way as well finding their way to he says he doesn't say as well he says finding their way too so i feel like you're you're maybe being an influence or inspiration to younger up-and-coming musicians because i see people that are playing piano and they're really and they're trying to find their voice they're trying to sing and write their writing too like i see them writing so so you are an inspiration to them or you are intentionally helping to teach them or helping them to find their way yes he said he said yeah um are you reincarnated can you answer that question he said that's a bit tricky he said i'm kind of in both places at the same time right now it feels like okay so he says i'm kind of in both i'm two people so i'm connecting to you and talking to you he said that could be and he says to me bridge it misbridge it that could be why you're having a bit of a trouble trying to connect with me directly and why i have to give you information in this other way through the solar plexus which is what i'm saying solar plexus or the intuition of knowing so you are reincarnated he's like yes if that's what you need to call it yes i am reincarnated however don't even try to figure out who i am because you're not going to figure out who i am and i'm not going to tell you because there's kind of rules about that sometimes you know there's kind of some things that you maybe don't it's not very polite to do that let's just say that there's some mysteries that should be remain mysteries he says okay oh now it's way easier all of a sudden it's like he came right forward and i can totally feel you oh way easier to connect okay so how is it possible then to channel you as a spirit in the afterlife when and have you reflect on your human life when you're reincarnated as somebody else right now how is it possible to be in two places at once or be two people at once can you answer that for the viewers or can you explain it he said it's a bit tricky to explain he says but it's how you have described it before in previous in previous conversations he says and that would be like light multiple places at the same time beams of the sun rays of the sun the sun is not over one city at one time it's everywhere or in multiple places and it's not about even because i'm thinking i'm trying to have this like i'm trying to personally bridge it trying to figure this out because i'm like okay is it like uh uh on and off or a light and dark kind of a balancing thing or contrast he says nope it's not that the spirit is infinite he says you are infinite you are infinite intelligence and because of that your mind will not understand this it's the ego mind it will not process this it will not understand this it's not explainable to the mind but yes you can be in two places at once because there's not places there's no place there's no restrictive place there's no geographic location for spirit for that part of your soul that light energy spot that light energy stuff right okay how about so i can talk to you as a person and i can while you're still reincarnated because it's there's no geographic location for spirit or soul and it's like light like the sun he says like the sun yes okay well that makes sense to me but i for those who are very specific i'm trying to help discuss it um natalie are you reincarnated she says oh no no no no no um i feel like natalie has a daughter though because she's acknowledging a young girl and a god no not a god mother mother that's very like very religious isn't necessarily the right word religious is not the right word very godly very god bless very prayer like very um faith-based how about that um very much so yeah like gospel songs i can hear them singing in a church and all that and it's not catholic either might be baptist something different it's not catholic i don't think it's catholic i'm not really great with the religious um translations because i don't do a religion per se but okay is there anything else that you think that would be important to share at this time he says take care of yourself and take care of your body stay healthy that's his message to the viewers yes he said take care of yourselves stay healthy take care of your body he says that will serve your mental health oh that will serve your mental health well he says all right i think that's good i think we're good all right thank you so much both for your time we've been chatting with nat king coal and natalie coal from the afterlife this is perjuda the above life channel thank you so much for watching i hope that we've inspired your spirit filled you up with some hope remember the point of these afterlife conversations is to remind you to live your life because this here right now is your life so live it just live it thanks for watching
