Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Terry Yoder’s Journey to Mediumship and Psychic Gifts

• Early Experiences & Near-Death Events
  • Terry describes two near-death experiences—one at birth (premature, cesarean) and a pivotal one at age 14 from huffing gasoline, which unlocked his psychic abilities.
    • “At 14, I was kind of aimlessly lost ... and the near-death experience at 14 is the one that quickened me, woke me up, awakened my gifts inside of me.” (04:00)
• The initial years were marked by an extraordinary sensitivity to the energies around him, including seeing auras and supernatural movements.

2. Encounter with Negative Energies and Spiritual Protection

• Terry recounts early encounters with ‘shadow people’ and negative entities—energies that thrive on fear and distraction.
  • “I believe that they’re a lower level entity that comes to bring fear ... It feeds off of fear.” (06:10)
• Alex and Terry discuss how spirits trapped in traumatic experience loops are different from intentionally negative entities.
• Terry shares his pragmatic techniques for spiritual shielding:
  • “Anything that cannot or will not walk in the light of Christ must depart now and God bless you. That usually does the trick.” (15:27)
  • Sometimes repeated, combined with meditation, when facing persistent negativity.

3. The Role of Guides, Angels, and Spiritual Challenges

• Terry distinguishes between the macro-level protection from guides/angels and micro-level challenges that foster personal growth.
  • “You’re never out of grace, but you’re permitted to be challenged and tested for your own ability to grow and learn.” (17:18)
• These challenges enable us to develop spiritual resilience, similar to a parent letting a child learn from real-world difficulties.

4. Empathy, Boundaries, and Energy Management

• As a sensitive empath, Terry speaks to the importance of energetic hygiene and boundaries, especially after difficult client sessions or being exposed to negative projections (jealousy, attacks, etc.).
  • “If you don’t [cleanse], it builds up and like attracts like ... it can actually consume you.” (21:29)
• A daily practice of meditation, white/golden light visualization, and perspective is essential.

5. Navigating Faith, Gifts, and Family

• Terry discusses his religious beginnings in Pentecostal Christianity following his near-death event and how he ultimately reconciled his psychic gifts with his faith.
  • “I was so devout in my love of God and my love of Christ ... But about three and a half years in, I started to see holes ... Where’s the love of Christ?” (22:53)
• His grandmother, Ruby, was a critical source of encouragement and example—a spiritual and psychic woman ahead of her time.
  • “She would always tell me, ‘You have a very special mind. If you’ll open it up and use it to its fullest potential, you’ve got great things to do.’” (26:59)

6. The Mechanics of Psychic Information: “The Clairs”

• Terry explains his work is rooted in all the “clairs”—clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairalience (smell), and clairgustance (taste).
  • “I keep smelling popcorn and tasting popcorn ... ‘Oh my God, we were just talking on the way over here how much we love popcorn.’” (31:22)
• Empathy is his strongest channel:
  • “I feel everything ... It’s difficult to describe how you can feel somebody from the inside out.” (37:26)

7. The Uniqueness of Spiritual Gifts

• Each person’s psychic and intuitive gifts are unique in expression, even if rooted in similar abilities.
  • “Everyone’s gifts are absolutely unique. They’re the same gifts, but they’re unique for every person.” (39:08)

8. Humanity’s Current Struggles & Shifting Energies

• When asked about the primary challenges facing humanity, Terry names:

  1. Humility
  2. Connection to consciousness
  3. Respect for one another
  • “Humility. Connection to their own consciousness and their respect for one another.” (43:31)

• The conversation observes a rise of the divine feminine and notes a historical excess of masculine, conquering energy.

  • “The feminine essence is rising. The essence of spirit is rising.” (44:42)

• Technology, especially AI and digital distraction, risks disconnecting people from themselves and each other.

  • “I think technology has done a lot of damage ... it’s distracted and taken the sensitivity out of people.” (45:34)

9. Spiritual Evolution and the Role of AI

• Humanity is awakening, with more people seeking answers, but there’s looming confusion about what’s really true due to technological advances and AI.
  • “We're coming to a place where we’re not going to know what is and isn’t true. ... That’s why it’s so important for people to connect with their consciousness.” (51:13)
• Terry suspects AI will aid humanity in some ways but ultimately lead to a sense of emptiness that may, paradoxically, reconnect us with our hearts and humanity.
  • “It’s going to help in a lot of ways, but it’s also going to lead us to a sense of emptiness. ... That emptiness ... is what’s going to help open people’s hearts and get them back into the human feeling, sensing, emotional part again.” (53:45)

10. Living as an Incarnate Now: “Front Row to the Greatest Show”

• Terry believes many souls have intentionally incarnated now to participate in and witness a critical period of human evolution.
  • “Everyone who’s been incarnated now at this time did it by choice because they wanted to be front row to arguably the greatest show in the universe.” (55:41)

11. The Ethics of Mediumship and Common Misconceptions

• Terry addresses the misunderstandings about his work—including the assumption that it’s “devil’s work” or that mediums are telephone lines to the other side, expected to perform on demand.
• He emphasizes the need for open-mindedness and preparation from both the medium and the client.
  • “Sometimes it’s the little things that are said in a reading that are the biggest proof.” (57:29)

12. The Spirit World and Omnipresence

• The spirit is omnipresent, not limited by physical constraints.
  • “Now I can be anywhere I want, whenever I want, in as many places as I want at the same time.” (61:54)

13. Transformative and Memorable Client Sessions

• Terry shares stories from thousands of readings, including a psychic vision that helped a client find the exact spot for a successful pizza business and a humorous moment with a child client (“Mr. Psychic man, did you know I like pickles?”) (64:37)

14. Spiritual Guidance for Times of Change

• To withstand rapid change, especially with AI and related overwhelm, Terry recommends non-reactivity and inner reflection.

  • “If you react, they’ve got you. ... Go to that still, soft place inside. ... How am I supposed to act on this? ... Again, it’s that connection to the consciousness.” (65:30, paraphrased)

• Spirit’s message for everyone:

  • “Exude love, joy, peace. Be patient and gentle and kind with one another.” (66:42)
