She Returned From Death With a Message: “It’s GO TIME” with Mariko Frederick

There are some souls who seem to arrive in this world with one foot already planted in another. While most of us spend our lives trying to remember who we truly are, they carry fragments of eternity with them from the very beginning. Yet even those rare souls must wrestle with doubt, fear, and the challenge of translating the infinite into human language. On today’s episode, we welcome Mariko Frederick, whose remarkable life has been a continuous journey between the visible and invisible worlds. Long before her near-death experience, she remembered previous lifetimes, traveled through higher realms, and experienced realities that most people only encounter in dreams. Rather than making her life easier, these extraordinary memories challenged her to learn one of humanity’s greatest lessons: trusting herself enough to share the truth of her experience with the world.

Mariko described remembering existence before birth with astonishing clarity. Unlike many people who recover memories through meditation or spiritual practice, she explained that for her there was never a separation between lives. It was simply one continuous memory. As a child, she naturally traveled through higher realms of consciousness, moving between the physical world and dimensions of extraordinary beauty and light. During difficult moments of childhood abuse, these higher realms became places of refuge where her spirit could remember its true home. Yet like so many spiritually gifted children, she quickly learned that speaking openly about these experiences made adults uncomfortable. One childhood memory remained especially vivid. After reaching into what appeared to be floating lights in her room, she found herself holding an object that had seemingly materialized from another dimension. When no one believed her explanation, she quietly learned to hide these extraordinary experiences from the world. It was the beginning of a silence that would last for many years.

Our conversation revealed something profoundly human beneath these extraordinary experiences. Despite remembering higher realms, despite naturally traveling through dimensions beyond ordinary perception, Mariko still struggled with self-doubt. She questioned whether people would believe her. She worried about being misunderstood. Even after her near-death experience confirmed everything she had known since childhood, she found herself hesitating to fully share her story. That realization felt deeply comforting because it reminds us that courage is not reserved for those without fear. Courage belongs to those who choose authenticity despite fear. Spiritual awakening does not magically remove our humanity. Instead, it gently teaches us how to embrace our humanity while remembering the infinite consciousness quietly living beneath it.

One of the most fascinating aspects of our discussion centered around what Mariko calls Astral Therapy. Rather than simply receiving guidance on behalf of others, she developed a way of helping people consciously journey into higher dimensions themselves. Her intention is beautifully simple: instead of telling people who they are, she helps them remember it firsthand. She believes every soul already carries the blueprint of its purpose, complete with loving guides, angelic beings, and multidimensional support teams patiently waiting beyond the limits of ordinary awareness. Through direct experience rather than belief, people reconnect with the frequency of their highest nature. As Mariko explained, the human personality often hesitates, doubts, and experiences imposter syndrome, but the higher self has never forgotten why it came here. It already knows. It has always known. Sometimes we simply need help remembering.

As our conversation deepened, Mariko offered a perspective on humanity that felt both hopeful and empowering. She described Earth as a place where souls from many different levels of consciousness incarnate together, each contributing to the evolution of the whole. Rather than judging lower levels of awareness, she compared humanity to a single body. Some souls function like the eyes, ears, and heart, while others resemble the knees, ankles, or feet. Every part matters. Every part belongs. The goal is not separation but collective elevation. As more people awaken to their authentic nature, they naturally lift the consciousness of everyone around them. This understanding dissolves the temptation to see ourselves as spiritually superior or inferior. Instead, we begin recognizing that every soul participates in one magnificent process of remembering. We rise together or not at all. It is perhaps one of the most compassionate visions of human evolution I have encountered.

One of the most beautiful moments of the interview came as Mariko described the highest realms she experienced during her near-death encounter. She spoke not of cities, buildings, or landscapes, but of infinite consciousness itself. It was a state where individuality gently dissolved into boundless love while somehow remaining completely aware. There were no words exchanged because words were unnecessary. Understanding arrived as direct knowing, almost like light itself becoming wisdom. She described witnessing souls remembering who they truly were before merging into what she called oneness consciousness. Every person carried a unique assignment that extended far beyond this single lifetime, rippling across dimensions, timelines, and even what many call the multiverse. Listening to her describe this experience made it clear that life’s purpose is far greater than personal success. Every loving action influences creation in ways we can scarcely imagine.

Throughout our conversation, one message surfaced repeatedly above all others: trust yourself. Mariko acknowledged that even after her profound experiences, she still questioned what she had witnessed. If someone with direct encounters beyond physical reality could experience doubt, perhaps our own uncertainty is simply part of being human. Yet she gently reminded us that intuition is not something we must earn. It is already present. We have simply forgotten how to listen. Every soul carries access to divine guidance, but too often we silence that quiet wisdom beneath fear, conditioning, and endless external opinions. As she so powerfully stated, “The greatest issue that most of humanity is having right now is they don’t trust themselves.” Those words feel especially meaningful during a time when so many people search outside themselves for answers that have quietly lived within them all along.

As we approached the end of our conversation, Mariko spoke passionately about the urgency of this moment in human history. She believes awakening need not take decades. Consciousness can transform in an instant if we are willing to choose differently. Humanity stands at a remarkable threshold where even a modest increase in collective awareness could dramatically alter the future of our planet. The invitation is not complicated. Trust your heart. Stop hiding your gifts. Share what you came here to contribute. The world no longer needs awakened souls waiting for permission. It needs ordinary people courageously remembering the extraordinary truth of who they have always been. Perhaps that is the real meaning of awakening—not becoming someone new, but finally allowing ourselves to become who we have always been beneath every layer of fear.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

  • Every soul carries an eternal blueprint, and our greatest purpose unfolds when we trust the wisdom already living within us.
  • Awakening is not reserved for a chosen few; every human being has the capacity to remember their divine nature and consciously participate in humanity’s evolution.
  • The gifts we hide out of fear may be the very gifts the world most needs during this extraordinary time of collective transformation.

As our conversation came to a close, I found myself reflecting on how often we wait for certainty before taking the next step. We want proof before trust, guarantees before courage, and perfect understanding before action. Yet the soul has always worked differently. It asks us to move first, knowing that clarity often follows commitment. Perhaps the greatest miracle is not traveling into higher realms or remembering past lives. Perhaps it is finding the courage to live authentically in this one. When we stop doubting our inner knowing and begin honoring the quiet voice of the heart, we discover that heaven has never been somewhere else waiting for us after death. It has been patiently waiting within us all along, asking only that we remember.

Tell me what your life was like before you died.

Mariko Frederick 0:08
Before I was born, I remember who I was in my last life, and for me, it's one long memory. Just like the past year is one long memory, so I remember it, but not in that I forgot and I'm like recalling it through Akashic records or something. I just remember it all, and so when I was young, especially when I was a baby, I would go into the higher realms. I'd go into the causal realm, and then I'd come back and be in my body. And so I was always traveling into the higher realms. And then as I got older in grammar school, I would go into the astral realm. And when I was I was going, I had some abuse happen, and to escape the abuse, I would go into the higher realms and hang out there, and so I've just done that my whole life. And I didn't know that not everybody did. I remember specifically thinking that talking about it was taboo, and that we weren't allowed to talk about certain things. Like when I was little, I was in preschool, and I remember I think we talked about this on. I'm not sure what show I talked about this on, but I see lights when I turn off the lights at night. To me, there's like millions of little lights. When I was younger, there were bigger lights, and there were different colors sometimes. And I remember seeing them floating by, and I kept reaching out, like, "Oh, I can get one of those, because no one told me I couldn't. So I was reaching and reaching. I'd kind of like go right through the air, and then eventually I grabbed one, and I woke up with this astrally projected object in my hand, and it was shaped like kind of a toy. It was a animal head with a human, long human body. So the adults around me were like, "Where did you get that? Where did thinking I stole it from Toys R Us? You know, as kids kind of sometimes grab stuff. We have kids like they're like, oh, like have we paid for that? You know. So I realized that it was like a bad thing, so I put it in the cookie jar and would check on it every every once in a while, and it was there until it wasn't, and it just disappeared. So, but in that moment, I got kind of afraid of myself, like I wasn't supposed to do that, and they think I'm lying because I'm. They're like, "Where'd you get it? I'm like, "From the lights. Get so excited and just think like my parents must be having so much fun. My sister, like, oh my gosh, what are they getting? Where are they going? Apparently not. Or they were, and they just don't remember astral traveling. You know that could happen too. Dreams. So because we don't trust ourselves, so I just stopped talking about it. And then I got sort of the the next layer of that as a teen. I think it was 18 or 19. I can't remember when when someone told me that people don't remember those kind of things, and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I shouldn't talk about it. So when I died and came back, I knew in my heart and soul that I was meant to, but I was also like, "I will share all kinds of things, but not that one. So it was a journey of discovering that, or or more giving myself permission that it's okay. I'm here for a second. It's not a big deal, and I'm going to do what I'm here to do. And then as we get older, we really start caring less about. And I think that's also why it took us so long, because we had to get through that. I've already died to the idea of like getting fit and looking my best. I'm like, I'm happy to be walking and talking. So perspective, my perspective changed real quick. So astral therapy is what I was doing when I was little. It's what I've always done. It's going into the higher realms. Only I figured out that instead of me going and getting the answers and telling people in a session or whatever I'm doing, why not come with me? Like, wouldn't that be more fun?

Mariko Frederick 3:07
So I developed astrotherapy as a way for me to bring people into the highest realm that they've been incarnating in, or at the very least, the astral realm, which is where most people go after we die-a realm of light and vibration. Yeah, actually, there's there's there's other emotions there too. Yeah, it's not always fun. So I bring people at the very least to the astral world where they can experience a little more of the truth of who they are. And for what I call higher realm beings, I like to take them to the highest realm that they've ever incarnated in and are accustomed to to get reacclimated to their truth as a higher realm being, so that they can stop acting so human, get to work, do whatever they're here to do, write the book, write the song, put out the podcast, speak on stage, whatever the thing is, invite invent new tech. It could be anything. It doesn't have to be spiritual, but whatever you're here to do, the higher realm being that you are is ready. The human is the one waiting and figuring it out and having imposter syndrome. But your higher realm being, the truth of who you truly are, that part has the whole blueprint, is ready to go, has a plan, knows what to do, and so I just find it faster and more efficient. Because again, we're halfway done here. I don't have a lot of time, so I figure it's sufficient to say, why don't you, like, I'll bring you up to the higher realms, go experience who you are. Let's go chit chat with your higher realm guides, your intergalactic team, your angelic realm team, your dragon team, whoever that is. You go get the downloads and the codes from them because now this isn't secondhand. It's not coming through me, and then they download so that you get the experience too. Because I think, well, it's more powerful as an individual to have the frequency. Like I said, I came back with a new frequency. It wasn't just knowledge and an experience. So if everybody can like go up with me to go get the new frequency, the new light codes, whatever you want to call them, and come back down and they. Get your butt to work because the world literally needs these people to wake up and start moving in a higher frequency. Because otherwise, the lower realm beings-and they're here too-are having a great time wreaking havoc on this world with all the-I'm not going to name all of it-but all the really bad things we see happening. The trafficking-it's terrible. It's all the people that are like lower realm, and Earth is a C average, so they we all come here. Here's the thing: we're all one, right? So is anyone really lost, or we just play in our role? So I think of it as like a person, and if you're a being, and we're all one, and we're one being, some people are at the level of the eyes and the nose and the ears, and some people are at the level of the knees and the toes. So the lower realm beings are at the level of the knees, the toes, the ankles. The higher realm beings, the eyebrows, the ears. But we don't want to cut the lower realm beings off because we need our ankles and toes. We want that. We're all one. Most people are in the middle because we're a sea average planet. But even the people in the middle are moving up, and the people in the lower realms we're all ascending, but the more the higher realm beings start to wake up and get to work and ascend, we shift everybody up, and that's why I'm just trying to get more efficient and get the people who are maybe. But the masses, you want to wake them up so that they start elevating, because that also brings up the lower realm beings and the higher realm beings who are sitting here having imposter syndrome around like, oh gosh, you know, enlightenment's only for Buddha. Enlightenment's only. I'm like, oh good lord, please, no, it's not. It's for you. He did say you can do everything. You don't have to do the wine thing. He did, you know. But he was a millennial, so good for him.

Mariko Frederick 6:34
But you can radiate the truth of your soul, which is simply love. You can do that. It's not hard, and it's not only for Buddha and Christ and Krishna. I mean, from my experience of it, was being in a realm of infinite consciousness. So while you saw the guides, and we could feel their presence, and feel they were just beaming with infinite joy, for me, I was experiencing you receive that love. Understand, you know, the assignment on your soul is much bigger than you. Spans not just this universe, not just this dimension, but it ripples out into all the other yous and all the other into the multiverse. But it was this merging of remembrance of saying this is who you are, this is who you are here to be, giving you that, and then watching you, your consciousness, your energy, more than energy, sync up with all of it and move into oneness consciousness. And so the highest realm was just oneness consciousness, where there is no one. And so eventually, that's what I was experiencing was just watching, witnessing nothing. Just watching you, that unit of God's consciousness, return to God's consciousness, and then just be in the infinite band of love and consciousness. So that's what I was witnessing. When we die and we get all this stuff, there's no words to be like, "You're going to do this. It's like, oof. The last part I do is what you. It's a download. It's an imprint. I call it an astral imprint, where I bring the teachings of what they're trying to share with you through words, through frequency, and like imprint it with light codes into you. Or they they they essentially do, right? I'm I'm here, but they're and I think the important thing is what you touched on, which is trusting yourself. You know, people and I had trouble too after my near death, I was like, "Did that happen? Yeah, yes, it happened. But even understanding that this happened, I still had doubts. And so I think the greatest issue that most of humanity is having right now is they don't trust themselves. Because if we could trust our intuition, we'd have a whole different world, you know. And we don't. So part of it's giving yourself permission to trust yourself that you are a higher realm being, that you have been incarnating on higher realms, that you're not from here, and for those, it's easy to go right. I'm just connecting with my astral body, which is always here. We all understand we have an energy body. It's not just the chakra system and the aura. There's a lot more going on, especially if you're from a different realm. You've got a whole different energy system from that realm. A lot of people. So astral therapy is essentially connecting your consciousness and your awareness of self. Not necessarily physical body. You stay in your physical body. For me, astral travel is not this phenomenon of I left my body and I don't feel myself anymore. No. Well, you're welcome to stay grounded in your body, and be connected to your astral body, your astral self, your soul, if you will, and then from there we go into I open up portals, and we go through into the astral realm. From there, we can go forward in time, we can go backwards in time, find timelines wherever we're going, heal things, clear things, get very clear with you. Obviously, shocker into a lot of different dimensions. There is still a moment where we can choose. It's just there's too many people choosing the wrong thing, and those who are able to choose correctly go big. That's the thing. You can't keep yourself a secret. If you're here to do something or share something like. Do it. It's important, but it's. I think they don't understand the importance of what it is they're here to do. So I'm like, get over it. It's go time. You're asking what the ascended masters have to say.

Mariko Frederick 10:10
Like it is go time, or there's chaos. Awakening happens in a moment. It doesn't have to take time. So everybody could wake up right now, or even if 51% of the planet woke up a little bit more, we would live in a different world. And it's a choice to trust yourself. It's a choice to trust your heart.
