In this episode of Closer to Venus, host Johnny Burke interviews Mariko Frederick, a spiritual healer and author of Soul Priority. Frederick shares her insights on the soul’s journey from death to rebirth, her personal near-death experience, and her continuous consciousness through lifetimes. She discusses the profound moments during her life review and the realization that she wasn’t fulfilling her true purpose. Frederick also talks about the concept of soul archetypes: the connector, creator, reflector, and expander, and how understanding these can align one’s career and life with their soul’s mission. Her experiences offer a unique perspective on karma, the causal realm, and the importance of living fully to prepare for death.

Additional Notes:
A near-death experience( NDE) when she was 29
Her book, Soul Priority describes how she was able to stay conscious between lives
Her life review told her she was not doing what she was supposed to be doing
The life review was like ‘watching a movie from another person’s point of view”
The process of moving from the astral realm into the causal realm
There are higher and lower realms in the astral
Some people are bad/evil because of a conscious choice to gain experience
When she “died” she realized her life on Earth was an illusion
The work we can get done here raising our consciousness, we can’t do in the astral realm,- this is why it’s important to stay here as long as possible
She felt gratitude for her ‘enemies’, people that gave her a hard time
Less evolved souls may sleep for most, if not all their time in the astral before reincarnating, while the more evolved souls can skip the period of sleep altogether
A life review of all of her lives
Separation is an illusion; when you leave this world, you realize you’re not separate from anybody
Her NDE included a the discovery of the four soul archetypes
