The Best of The Oprah Show: Were You Here Before? | Full Episode | OWN

because that's how I trained. You know, go to the medical library. Find out if this is happening to me. Is it happening to other doctors? Are they writing about it? It's not because of the risks involved because you can, didn't you think you could risk being called a cuckoo? Oh, more than that, yes, cuckoo, sure, but my license was chairman of the Department of Psychiatry. He had ownership. He was a clinical professor at the University. from Miami I had two more children after that, Jordan and Amy, a house with a big mortgage. It was very risky.

I could lose all of that, but that was so real and so detailed, and you know how it feels in your gut. in your bones t

here

's no trick to this she can't know this stuff something and my life just our lives just changed you know It's not just a medical mockery but the public also doesn't believe that we were talking about keeping an open mind and I'm very sorry because it has wonderful healing potential, but t

here

are a lot of people watching the

show

and they said, "They know to themselves that if I open my mind and my brain will spill right there." There's just no way you can separate it that much and yet, if we look at the lessons we've learned in medicine, not everything that is logical turns out to be true and not everything that is illogical ends up feeling lonely by looking at what one We are doing what was really happening that we started to get involved in such a complicated topic in medicine, too often we entrench ourselves in the belief that we have to understand why, before, when to take that big leap forward to investigate the reasons and that is what fascinates me so much about this whole process, that's why the

show

is so exciting to me, you're sorry, keep an open mind, we'll be right back, a funeral director receives a message from the other side during his drama session with Dr .Weiss from Dead People, that's next.

I can't wait to see what happened when Dr. Oz had a regression, but anyway, when we decided to do this show about past life regression, one of the first people we thought of is former guest Leon Roberts, so maybe you remember it. him from a program we did with Dr. Oz on how to quit smoking. L Leon is a funeral director, so he's close to death all the time, you see dead people, yeah, all the time, uh and uh, we thought he might have an interesting experience first, uh, how? do it not smoke I'm doing very well it's been 65 days today without a cigarette there are two things you need to know before watching this movie with leyon uh one León has a difficult lifelong relationship with his older sister and two he has night dreams of flying okay let's look at this a little nervous about uh you know if they can put me under hypnosis you know a little nervous about that that's all I'm really open to being hypnotized but I'm not sure if it can be like that Dr.

Leon Roberts Leon My pleasure know him. Please meet him as well as I get to know Leon. I explain to him what it means to be hypnotized. It usually takes about 20 minutes for a person to reach a deep hypnotic state. These are some of the processes, many people do not understand what hypnosis is, it is actually just about focusing concentration when you are relaxed, you are always in control, you know that you can open your eyes at any time and imagine that you can exhale stress and the tensions inside you. body and that you can breathe the beautiful energy that surrounds you let my voice also take you deeper and deeper relaxed let's start going back in time at first a little and then more and more as I count backwards now from 5 to 1 Come back Go back to your childhood and allow yourself to recall a memory from when you were young.

Remember my mother left one night and they told you that she was bringing a baby home. How old are you now? What are you experiencing now? remembering more about that time my sister made fun of me my older sister yes, what was your relationship like? So you can remember that everything was good when we were younger, how do you feel now? Remembering how they are sad, sad, sad, why sad, what makes you sad. changed, yes, yes, I know you don't need to feel sad because you can fix it, you can fix it now you know how it was, you know the real core of this, let's go further back now, to past lives, be there what is happening to you. floating when you are floating you feel something a plane what kind of plane is this is an old plane some kind of fighter plane or military plane where is it going I'm going to touch your forehead and count down from 3 to one 3 2 one more details about the plane the old plane is flying through the sky having trouble flying what kind of problems it can't stay level it can't something happened to it what happened can smoke come out of the plane are there other planes other planes Lion who dreams of flying every night seems to be describing a life past in which he is fighting on a war plate I don't want to die no, you don't want to die either how many people are on the plane, that is, only two, right? making the gun is what you do I don't know who's who no, it's confusing, okay, I don't know who to shoot at, no, okay, so sometimes I don't do it, Che, no, but your plane gets hit, yeah Yes, why not, so they shot you because León refuses to fire his weapons.

His own plane crashes. I see your reluctance to kill others in this past life as the mark of an advanced soul. Alright. I'm going to take you to the end. It is not like this. Survive this fall from the plane. No? Let's go to the end. Now you don't have to go through it. When it touches your forehead, the plane will fall. You will leave that body and feel much better. now leave the body you are no longer the soldier just float above it you can look down what happens next as you float there you are relieved there is no more fear what happens next you are not afraid you are no longer afraid do you feel lighter now? yes, no pain, no pain, well Leon's regression didn't end there, what happened next made everyone cry, we'll show you that in just a minute, but first let's talk about what we just saw, what was that like for you? . there it was so real uhhuh um and it just brings it all back.

I'm trying not to drown, but somehow I can. I'm there and when I see it I can feel everything I was feeling uhhuh. I had told the audience before and because the producers told me that you have these dreams about flying every night, okay, and you have had dreams about flying. I've had dreams of flying for as long as I can remember, yeah, since I was young, you know. In some places I get chased and people try to kill me mhm M, that's most of the time, but since my adult life I have more pleasant dreams of flying.

Dr. Wife says it often takes five to 10 sessions before someone really gets in touch. with your past life, so again for our audience here, who you know did it in a group, first of all, it's harder to do it in a group and certainly most people do it three, four, five or 10 times before you get open enough to have that channel, that kind of Clear Channel that Dr. Oz talked about. Leon did it on one occasion, yes, out of nowhere, during Leon's regression, he told Dr. Weiss that he had a message, note again. Leon is a funeral director.

He looks at this, they want me to tell people it's okay, they want you to tell people it's okay, it's good, who wants you to tell them this? to the dead, to the dead, okay, that's good and you can tell them that you have your own experience now, so who did that message come from? It's like a day of the voice. There are no voices. It's just a feeling. I have a very strong feeling. I've always felt very comfortable with people who have died and me and me. I've always felt this energy from them and it's more of a spiritual thing than a voice.

I don't hear voices, it's a feeling of energy, energy, energy and uh, we'll be right back, fascinating to me, keep watching. Look what happens next with Leon, there is certainly a long list of things I would like to improve in my relationship with my sister. It bothers me a lot on a daily basis. It can be a disaster. She is a completely different person than me. We just crashed. I would like an explanation as to why I don't like feeling pressure on my chest. I just can't get any pressure on my chest ever, so I feel like I'm being suffocated.

I feel like I can't breathe and I'll know I'm going to die. Being a funeral director has definitely impacted the spirituality of my life. I think it comes into play a lot in my business because I hear a lot of stories from different people and, uh, I'm very open to almost anything that has to do with the afterlife, let's face it, nothing, we don't know what's going to happen when we die well, The next part of Leon's regression with Dr. Weiss sent chills through everyone, even the cameramen, it's hard to move them for anything, huh. I couldn't believe what they were seeing take a look there's more feel this feeling yes what a feeling my head is swelling I'm going to touch you on the forehead and you'll understand why your head is so big why it feels like this it's swelling it was crushed you were crushed yes it's okay what crushed your head how my whole body was crushed your whole body was crushed yes you saw my chest yes something in your chest what's in your chest I don't know it's heavy it's heavy What is it?

It's a trash compactor or something like a car crusher. Let's go back in time. Find out. What is it? Someone hit me on the head. Do you know who hit you? No, I was looking at something, yes, looking at something or someone. I could not do anything. what I didn't dare to do anything I just looked, you just looked and maybe you saw something that someone was being raped, someone was being raped, yeah, and you saw it, just Flo on top, you're free from the pain, you saw a rape and that. They killed you and caused you terrible pain in your chest and the feeling that your head was exploding just make any connection you can have now in this life no one deserves that no, not what you saw or what happened to you either right?

You see the person raping the man. He is far away, far away. You couldn't see an alley and then someone hit you in the head. Mhm, but you couldn't help that woman. She saw it and then they killed you. She was going to die, I could have helped her, you mean running down the alley and yeah I get it, do you feel bad for not doing that? Yes, I know you didn't stop him. I prayed a lot that you couldn't have done anything. If you had tried to stop him, they probably would have killed you first, right, okay, let go of any guilt, because from that moment on, do you know who she was?

The woman I was with was my sister. Yes, she was your sister. I know and you don't. Don't stop it, thank you very much, so just to be clear, you think that the strange thing you saw being raped in a previous life is actually your sister in this life, yes, I didn't see her face, but it was just an energy. it was um it was just her there was no doubt about it it was her and so how do you come to that conclusion or see that like you say now that you did it helps explain your relationship with your sister now in some ways it's amazing I I I We were talking last night with my other sister and I and I just don't feel anything like I used to feel towards my sister Lynn that she was talking about.

It's like it's a different relationship now. I have some anger towards her um I totally accept her um and our differences and it's been amazing the last few weeks. I feel completely at peace and um I just don't love anything but love so it's and it's I can't with you. I know I can't, I guess I owe it to that, but she's still on my mind. Part of me doesn't want to believe that's really what happened to me, but I keep coming back to it and there's no other explanation. I can't, I'm trying to refute it in my mind, but there are other things that take me back to where there is nothing, there is no other explanation.

Well, Lyn is Leon's sister and we showed her that tape in Dr. Weiss' office the other day. What did you think was good? It was quite amazing. I mean, I just couldn't really believe what I was seeing. um and he was obviously so deeply affected like she was reliving him and um. It was pretty wild to watch. I didn't feel like he didn't have any particular feeling about it, like he was reliving it because it was completely his experience. You know, I didn't feel any negative effects from it, except that I felt bad for him. but um, I wasn't traumatized in any way by seeing him and then he said that their relationship has changed since that moment, yeah, I don't know if I'd say it was Rocky or that we didn't get along, I think so. done quite a lot I really know different perspectives, but I think we have done very well over the years given our differences we different personalities different interests different interests always things we always work things out we have had to work very hard to work together and I think that working together in the business probably creates a lot more potential for conflict than if we were free to be brother and sister and didn't have all the things we had, but I think that's It's interesting to think back to the first time you came home when you were a baby and feeling like you know she felt left out because I really feel like babies have a meaning.

I mean, I have an early memory. My dad says it can't be true, but I have an early memory of a relative, um, you know, sticking his tongue out at me in the baby stroller and everyone, yeah, I want who the relative is even though they passed away and I'm sorry. and later I realized that actuallyit's you. I know it happened, but I remember being in the baby carriage in it and looking through the bars and I didn't know what sticking out my tongue meant, but I knew it wasn't good at all the feeling I had from that and The feeling was that it wasn't they loved me Children have a kind of connection.

I think you're absolutely right, so when you think you're unloved, you look through the bars, that's always there, yeah, always there, it absolutely comes out what happens when Dr. Oz. back off, that's next as part of his research for this show. Dr. Oz agreed to regress. Which happened well, it's remarkably fluid as you all experienced it, but as you enter this deeper state of consciousness, uh, and I kind of saw myself going there, I thought the whole thing. time, you know this is going to be a little tedious and I'm not going to notice much more, but do you feel intimidated?

I was. I know where my weaknesses are. I love when there is data, if there is information available, I grab it and feel very comfortable, that is my love. When we go down this Pike I feel very uncomfortable and there are many reasons why I should feel uncomfortable, but in this case I really thought I was going to remember a couple of things from when I was 10 years old and It was done and, strangely enough, I ended up in the memory from a dream I had before I started kindergarten and it's crazy, why would you remember a dream of all the things to remember?

You might remember real things, but in this dream, uh, my father. He's leading me by the hand of older men who wear these velvet dresses and they wear fezzes, you know, fezzes that were the old Ottoman trash, the kind of hat they wore, cylindrical hat and they professionally went to a school and they have these old scrolls and scrolls and they're writing things like my lessons and he takes me from one place to another and they're not kidding, they're very serious about what they're doing and it just seems to me like they're planning my life and you know what it was like to get on a bus yellow schoolboy, yes, and sitting in the back of a class of 30 uh, but that's what I thought and I remember going through that process.

I was very disappointed when school actually started and then I ended up from there in this kind of ether, this space that many of my patients have described to me and went to my day job. You know, I deal with death all the time like a heart. Surgeon, many patients have told me these stories of being in a space where they could see lights and they wandered around to get under the lights and I felt that way and I felt like there was a flow of people. walking past me, but there was energy, they didn't have faces and they were trying to teach me, but I wasn't ready to hear it yet and it seemed like it took as long as it took me to explain it to you and us. they finished and Dr.

Weiss said you had to go to your meeting it was 60 minutes it was 60 minutes 60 minutes wow, is that something you believe in because that's what you know? There were some people in this audience who chose not to have this experience or chose I must not be hypnotized because they said, I don't believe in that. You know, there will be many people who will, very understandably, say that these are the illusory wishes of desperate people. MH, but let me challenge all of our. base of reality, this chair in which I am sitting now is not matter, it is not mass, it is small particles very far from each other that have these forces connected to them and we visualize it as this solid state.

I will blow your mind. plus a small molecule, a small atom here, on the other side of the planet, because if they are brothers, if you spin one, if you spin the other, it will spin immediately, they don't communicate through any medium, we understand, so what really What we want to do is challenge people to believe and understand that life is not as real as it seems. There are other things out there. I must say that I don't know if they are past lives and we can enter into one. The long debate about whether these are spiritual beings that touch us is this collective unconsciousness that the young people were talking about, but one thing I have to say, if I am honest with myself , is that a hundred years ago in this country we felt more comfortable with these discussions. of who we are today and I think part of that is that we have become addicted to the same serum that I am taking, which is the belief that the answers will always be there in front of us and sometimes you have to take that.

Jump, eh, just to believe, to prove it. You know, we don't have to defend it, but we do have to evaluate it well. Yes. 100 years ago, holistic medicine was medicine. 100 years ago, it was commonplace to argue yes or no. You could see past lives or touch the spirit world or deal with this collective unconsciousness, which is what I really believe in my heart exists, that all our minds are connected and all the minds of History are connected and we are feeding this. energy system that we can harness is like Karma, you can bounce off it, it bounces off your back, well we'll be right back, thank you, thank you Dr.

Oz. I think the biggest question everyone has is where is God in all of this? I find that your answer is: I find God everywhere. I was meditating on this one day and I had a metaphor of ice cubes being people. Ice cubes are solid, they have sides, but if you melt them with thermal energy they simply disappear into the water. it becomes water, so if the ice cubes float in the water and you heat the water, everything is water, the individuality has disappeared and if you keep adding thermal energy, even the water disappears and everything becomes invisible vapor, but it is still the rapidly vibrating H2O molecule is still there. and I think that people are like ice cubes, we are the solid part, the condensed part, we believe that we are separated from everyone else, we are not, because if you warm us with the energy of love, not with heat energy, but With energy of love, we merge into a spiritual state.

The spirit of the sea and water have always been equated and if you continue to pay attention with love you will find God God is the vapor God is beyond the vapor, the organizing wisdom that is in every atom of our being, as well as in every atom of This chair, this is who we are. We, God, are in all of us, that is why we are not so separated, so different, we are not different from each other. We are all souls and all souls are connected, yes, and I know I was just saying that producers obsess over people. the word Masters because people say there is only one master and the truth is yes we are all one so you can call them angels.

I said you can call them Angels, you can call them Masters or you can call them Winnie to pooh, it doesn't matter. yes, thank you Dr. Weiss Dr. Brian Weiss, it's the 20th anniversary of his book Many Lives Many Masters, thank you Dr. Oz H, maybe those little lights will talk to you soon. I'm listening, thanks for watching the

best

of Oprah's show on Super Soul. See you next time on Sunday.
