Terry Yoder on Near‑Death Experiences, Psychic Gifts, and Humanity’s Spiritual Awakening

Introduction

In this candid interview, host Alex welcomes psychic medium Terry Yoder to discuss his life‑changing near‑death experiences, the development of his psychic and mediumship abilities, and his perspective on humanity’s current spiritual challenges.

Early Life and Near‑Death Experiences

• Birth and First NDE: Terry was born two months premature via C‑section. He describes the moment of being pulled from his mother’s womb as a near‑death experience that awakened his ability to choose life.
• Teenage NDE (Age 14): While huffing gasoline on Memorial Day weekend 1979, Terry slipped into an out‑of‑body state. A negative voice urged him to “let go,” but his father’s sudden arrival pulled him back. This event triggered a vivid aura perception and the discovery of a hidden tarot deck, marking the birth of his psychic gifts.
• Early Spiritual Signs: At age 3‑4 he saw a “shadow person” resembling a dementor—an entity he later identified as a low‑vibrational fear‑feeding spirit.

Development of Psychic and Mediumship Skills

• Family Influence: Grandmother Ruby, a voracious reader of Edgar Cayce and Jane Roberts, recognized Terry’s sensitivity and encouraged him, becoming his first guide.
• Self‑Teaching: Terry is self‑taught, learning directly from spirit. He emphasizes ethics: he never claims to be a licensed therapist and always refers clients to professionals when needed.
• Clairvoyant Modalities:
• Clairvoyance: visual images.
• Clairaudience: hearing messages, songs, or voices.
• Clairsentience: feeling emotions and vibrations.
• Clairgustance & Claircognizance: occasional tastes or sudden knowing.
• Clairolfaction: distinct scents (e.g., popcorn, the scent of his mother “Noximma”).
• Reading Process: He shuffles cards, lets the client stop the shuffle, then lays cards in a positional spread (present, past, future, emotions, outcome, etc.) to weave a narrative.

Encounters with Negative Entities

• Shadow Persons & Low‑Level Energies: These entities feed on fear and attempt to derail personal growth.
• Protection Techniques:
• Verbal Rejection – “Anything that cannot walk in the light of Christ must depart now.”
• Meditation & White‑Light Visualization – drawing golden light through the crown and expelling darkness.
• Rebuke – repeating a firm dismissal three times.
• Personal Example: A nightly disturbance was stopped after a triple rebuke, allowing him to sleep peacefully.

Spiritual Framework

• Christian Foundation: Though not raised religious, Terry’s 14‑year‑old NDE led him to a Pentecostal church. He later recognized “holes” in organized religion and settled on a personal relationship with Christ that fuels his gifts.
• Intention Over Label: He argues that psychic work is not “the devil’s work” when performed with love and the intention to help others.
• Guides vs. Guardians: Guardian angels and ascended masters operate on a macro level and respond when asked; lower entities act on a micro level to create obstacles.

Humanity’s Current Struggle

• Core Issues (as spoken by the spirit):
• Humility – humanity’s relentless drive to dominate.
• Connection to Consciousness – loss of self‑awareness and respect for others.
• Divine Feminine Rise: Terry notes a cultural shift toward nurturing, balanced energies, complementing the historically dominant masculine drive.
• Technology’s Double‑Edged Sword:
• AI and digital media accelerate information flow but can create emotional emptiness.
• People are returning to tactile experiences (vinyl, books) to regain a sense of “soul.”

Advice for Navigating the Awakening

• Inner Work Over Reaction: Cultivate inner stillness, meditate, and avoid reflexive reactions to external chaos.
• Emotional Cleansing: Regularly release built‑up energetic residue to prevent consumption by negative forces.
• Develop Intuition: Use tools like tarot, meditation, or simple daily mindfulness to strengthen personal discernment.
• Community & Compassion: Exude love, joy, patience, and kindness; these vibrations protect against fear‑based entities.

Notable Stories

• Pizza Business Prediction: Terry pinpointed a specific location for a client’s future pizza shop, which later opened successfully.
• Child’s Pickle Question: A four‑year‑old asked, “Do you know I like pickles?” – a simple affirmation that validated Terry’s connection.
• Fox Totem: After his mother’s death, a fox appeared, which he linked to his mother’s habit of fixing her hair, confirming a spirit‑to‑animal message.
