An Exclusive Interview with Dee Wallace by Saskia Röell “How To Shine Your Brightest Light” Saskia Röell: Welcome, Dee. Dee Wallace: My heart is so touched. Thank you for that. I’m so deeply honored that you love the book. Saskia Röell: I savor the book. I read it over and over. Every time, I think, “Yes, yes! This is exactly how I feel.” You started the book by writing, “This is my story, but this is your story,” because we are born with our light, but the world challenges that light. We either keep shining or we don’t. Dee Wallace: Don’t you think that’s really why we have our light challenged, to learn that we always have the choice to shine it? Saskia Röell: We always do. You make that point so well in your book. We’re creators, and we create our future. If we don’t create it, it’s created for us. Dee Wallace: Exactly. One of my favorite lines is that if you don’t create yourself, you become the ‘created upon’. It’s all about the direction of energy. If we are not consciously directing our energy to what we want by the choice we make, by how much joy we feel about that choice, and by the focus we hold on that, then genetics are going to take us over. Social media will take us over, as will all of the messages. We will not be consciously choosing, but our energy wants to create. Saskia Röell: It’s so true. I want to go deeper into this, but the first question I usually ask all of my guests is what happens when you have a Soul Path that’s been calling you forever? At some point in your life you open that door and say goodbye to your old, small self and say hello to your Soul. Dee, has there been a defining moment in your life when you opened that door and said hello to your Soul? Dee Wallace: Yes. I talk about it a lot, actually, in Bright Light. I’ve been hurt a lot in the business. As you know, my father committed suicide; he’d been a drunk all my life. Then, before he was 55, my husband of 18 years died from a heart attack. At that point, I was shooting “The Frighteners.” I came back and walked into this house. I looked at my daughter, who was not yet seven—and here come the tears. I’m truly an actress! I remember at midnight dropping to my knees and saying, “I don’t want to be this way anymore. I don’t want to be angry. I don’t want to be a victim. I want my light back. I want a way we can heal ourselves.” The first thing I heard through the channel was, “Use your light to heal yourself.” The next day, all this information started channeling into me. There were words I didn’t even know, like ‘fractal’, which I had to look up, and protons and neutrons and how they work together. Here I am 50 years later with an international clientele in healing and three books. But I had to ask. I never realized how potent that statement was: If you ask, you receive. I said I want a way to heal ourselves, and I’ve been given it. I’ve been given the answers. I can tell everybody that the biggest answer is not to keep looking at your story. In this moment right now, what do you want to choose to create? Be excited, joyful, and happy about that. Hold your focus on it and stay in your heart. That, in essence, is it. That’s it, in a nutshell, as they say. Saskia Röell: It happened very fast for you. I read that you were shooting. Where were you? Australia? New Zealand? p. 2 www.yoursoulguidance.com | Copyright © 2012 Saskia Röell, Your Soul Guidance. An Exclusive Interview with Dee Wallace by Saskia Röell “How To Shine Your Brightest Light” Dee Wallace: New Zealand, yes. Saskia Röell: You came back and must have been so passionate to call for that. Dee Wallace: I don’t think it has to be this way. I think we have a belief that it has to be this way, that we have to hit bottom, go through a trauma, leave our bodies in an accident, and all of these stories that you hear. I don’t believe it has to be that way. I do believe you have to ask. You have to say, “All right, in this moment I will hear my Soul journey. I will live my Soul journey. I choose that. That’s my direction. God, the angels, the archangels, the guides, the extraterrestrials, and anybody else out there who wants to help me, you come in and support me, but I’ve decided that I’m doing this. That’s far different than what most of us have been brought up to believe, which is that the world happens, and I have to react and do damage control to it. Saskia Röell: Yes, right. I know you’re right about living in damage-control mode instead of living full out. Dee Wallace: That’s not creation, is it? Saskia Röell: No. Dee, how do you integrate that into your actors, as an acting coach? We have only about one minute until the break, so we’ll expand after the break, but can you start that conversation? Dee Wallace: Yes. In acting, you know that you have to live in the moment. If you leave the moment, you start acting instead of being. It’s the same principle in life: you must stay in this moment of now. You can’t keep going back and saying, “Yes, but look what happened to me. Look why I’m still afraid. Look why I’m still a victim.” Stay in the moment of now and create what you want. Saskia Röell: Dee, we have to go to a break. You’re listening to Your Soul Guidance with Saskia, and we have our special guest, Dee Wallace, talking about shining our brilliant light. Stay tuned, everybody. We’re going to be right back. [Break #1] We’re back on Your Soul Guidance with Saskia on Transformation Talk Radio, and today we have the honor to talk with Dee Wallace about her book, Bright Light. Before we continue, I want to make sure everybody knows how to contact you.

There’s my spiel! p. 3 www.yoursoulguidance.com | Copyright © 2012 Saskia Röell, Your Soul Guidance. An Exclusive Interview with Dee Wallace by Saskia Röell “How To Shine Your Brightest Light” Saskia Röell: Okay, that sounds pretty delicious! Before we head off to very deep, soulful topics, I want to make sure you talk about your book, Bright Light: Spiritual Lessons from a Life in Acting. Give us the scoop there. Dee Wallace: Basically, it’s a joyous, fun, poignant journey through my career: “E.T.,” “The Frighteners,” working with Peter Jackson, working with Blake Edwards in “10,” and all the other stuff in between, including, of course, Steven Spielberg in “E.T.” It takes you through the journey, beginning with me as a young actress, how I got started, and how the universe took care of me. Weaving through that, of course, were the pain and mistreatment—if we want to look at it that way from our perspective—and the challenges that came my way, how I lost myself and became angry and felt like the world wasn’t on my side. I decided that I was going to see the world through that perspective. Of course, the more you see the world through that perspective, the less the world shows up for you. This is because as you believe, it’s delivered to you, baby cakes! I explain how I found myself again and how I moved back into loving and empowering myself again, which is what 2012 is all about. Either do it this year or hang on to your victimhood for a long time now. I like the book. If I did it, if I could get ‘me’ back from the place I was, anybody can. As you know, the freedom and joy on the other side are so amazing. Once you find it, you want to share with people how they can create it for themselves. In a nutshell, that’s what Bright Light is about. Saskia Röell: It has all of these inspiring stories; there are so many stories and gems of wisdom.
