In this episode of The TruthSeekah Podcast TruthSeekah is joined by Fred Lynch as he explains The Seeking Process: The Awakening of The Christian Mystic. Regardless of religion race or creed deep within the hearts and Minds of the Seeker is a similar Pursuit towards the goal. The Journey is merely a means to an end. We may come up with different terminologies and phrases but the essence of the seeker remains the same. In The Awakening process one must step away from exclusivity in order to step into Universal consciousness. The seeking process oftentimes leads people not to but through religion. Deification nor religious duties are the end goal either but the alchemical process that one undergoes through religion and out of dogma. Even the ancient Hebrew text states “Hear O Israel, The Lord is ONE. Exclusivity leads to hatred and placing ones own learn traditions upon a pedestal. One may find themselves always trying to prove that they’re right so that deep down it justifies their belief when more people believe it. Just because the masses flock does not mean it’s right but contrary. Whether Christian, Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist the pursuit is the same with all devotees. If it is ultimate truth you are seeking you will wind up in a similar place to those others seeking with pure intentions. You will recognize similarities from those in varying sects but yet may feel isolated within your own religious denomination. This is why it says in the New Testament that “Some of them went out from among us but were not of us” 1 John 2:19. The path of Enlightenment at times is a walk through the wilderness where we feel all alone and yet other times it is one of the most celebrated experiences with those who are on the same journey together.

welcome to the power waves out here man it's really good it's really good what you're doing Thank You Man we've been talking for the last couple weeks some really good conversations that would definitely be good to talk about on the podcast we're talking about awakening and the deeper levels that you know I would dare to say God is calling you to showing you some some deeper truths and other texts and just how it correlates with the scriptures and stuff like that and God really just seems like blowing your mind and almost maybe making all things new at this point right when you've just been in Christian ministry for for some time now and it kind of get into the monotony of it and then you're introduced to these deeper levels of God's glory these deeper levels of spirituality the way like the science of the spiritual beliefs that you've had for a very long time and it's blowing your mind you reached out to me after watching the podcast and we just kind of hit it off ever since man so again Fred welcome to the podcast bro I think it'd be a great place to start just to kind of let people know where you come from because you you come from a place of Christian ministry you've been doing it for a long time you've been with some pretty big names in the Christian movement and things like that so if you want to go ahead and share your credentials and who you are man that'd be awesome I really been fortunate I've been fortunate I've been loved well I best stuff because that's the best way to say I'll start it out I've been loved well and I think those that are loved well you can tell how they're able to love others back and so I've been loved really really well and been fortunate man I started way back in the day my background as far as hip-hop I started a gospel rap group called preachers in the skies or PID back in the 80s late 8th early 90s we did about 5 albums altogether we started to name PID stands for preachers in disguise we started out man I was a youth pastor I started as a youth pastor in about 17 18 years old went to Bible school at 16 years old in Texas in Dallas Texas and just got on fire forgot man I gave my life to Christ and as far as you know that that whole awakening was raised Catholic and always sits that spiritual call on my life you know that sense of getting connected and closer to God and the whole journey has been this process of growing growing growing and then also winning something opens up and then you grow in that growing that growing that and then before you know it zoom something opens up and so this whole process of awakening now has been just an ongoing trend with my life but but going back to 13 14 years old I was challenged with Scripture and I kind of started getting into Scripture with my uncle who was a minister who had actually got kicked out of a Baptist Church he was a Baptist deacon and God healed him miraculously healed him the doctor sent him home to die and he had tuberculosis and cancer and so on so forth Eve he fought in World War two Wales an old-school southern cat and the Lord healed him he went to a an evangelist who laid hands on God healed them and not only they got healed him but God gave him the gift of healing so when he came back to his southern black Baptist Church and start playing praying for people laying hands and they started getting healed the church was in the uproar they basically just say you know I don't know if this is gonna work here at our church yeah so he just having home Bible fellowships just having studies at home and we stayed with him during the summers we were originally my mom moved us to San Francisco California and during the summers we would come from Cali come back to Texas and we started hanging with him and just learning about life learned about the scripture I started digging into it and getting into it and then the Word of God started getting into me and then to me and I gave my life to Christ at about 14 13 14 ish at that time throughout my high school on fire for God's sharing with people about Christ taking my big family Bible to school I was that kid I was that kid talking to everybody not pray for you know yeah how can I pray for you do you know Jesus the path my thick name was Jesus loves you because that's what I was be sure I was sure it was all mostly it was an interesting it was almost like a conviction that pseudo it was a religious like thing that I felt I had to do duty right if I didn't talk to anybody about God and I remember actually sharing with my uncle and I love I think I for his wisdom because I remember being at that point in my life that I didn't talk to anybody about Jesus I didn't lead anybody to Jesus I didn't find a sinner that I can talk to about God and and I was looking a little depressed and he was like what's wrong and I was like I hadn't found anybody to talked about about God today he said we've been talking about God for the last 45 minutes he found somebody you're good you know and it was that type of discipleship that I grew up in well I dropped out of high school at 16 because I was ready to go preach the gospel and drop out for crazy reason well I would say crazy reason I dropped out because I wasn't doing good in school effect giving my life to Christ and growing in discipleship I started learning better incredible thinking and studying scripture and reading comprehension and all of that so things started coming together as they came together I started reading the scripture and it's you know go into all the world preach the gospel well so young black man I'm in this school system that's kind of hitting me into this you know cog in the machine that either I'm gonna be like those that I see around me and end up in this corporate you know prison or I'm gonna end up in jail and I saw the escape is I could end up doing what God called me to do I think he's called me to go into all the world so I dropped out of high school when I dropped out and I came back to my my uncle it led me to Christ and I told him and I told him full of pride I thought he would be like congratulations Freddy yeah going out there and preach the gospel it's the second time they ever saw him cry in my life he just broke Brian he was like you know not don't drop out you know and there's a 16 year old black man I didn't even get it I was just like you know I'm ready to go change the world and he was like you don't understand this world in this system the fact you being a high school dropout you know as a black man who's gonna even listen to ya so I going to a Bible School in Dallas Texas price for Nations Institute a 16 and about 18 I started 17 I started pastoring as a youth pastor at the inner city church and from there we started just doing some things with hip-hop we started going out on the street and we would do outreach is where we would we would start rhyming and people will start coming in and we'd start preaching and then they started filtering out and so and we preach and run and preach around and preach and from there we just got our name preachers in disguise it was in the disguise of life now talking about that whole trend of awakenings later on probably about our third out and we just drop the disguise had named our name preachers you know and but that was care about our whole process but we started you know we kind of some of the the hip-hop old hits pioneers you know before some of the other great Christian hip-hop movements came along before they look raised before the cross movements that and all of those cats we were we were gratefully you know thankfully out there just doing our thing and we we found a love man it wasn't it wasn't the love in the industry at that time in fact they didn't know what to do with us in the Christian industry nor in the secular industry we got a chance to open up for some different groups and do some things you know touring but it was like those old blue haired grandmothers now look at us and say baby I don't know what you're saying but you reach it you reaching these kids gone and do it to to us that was a grant we was like okay bet let's go do it and then I era came up with preachers in the skies SPID SFC soldiers Christ dynamic twins freedom of soul that was our night our era and we had a good time man doing what we did that's awesome man so you've been in it for a while and you you uh you went with someone else on on ministry as well like after that you yes I did we did about five albums interesting process in that my brother who was our DJ he he had become Muslim he had given you know a lot of his study in fact the first night I ever preached he gave his life to Christ and he was that same type of dude on fire for God he was like a street preacher on fire you know these cats right he was a cat that was at the bus stop preaching you know and the whole nine you hear him ride down Street hallelujah Jesus come back that was this dude you know and eventually through life life circumstances he asks I started my rap group and he asked if I could be he could be our deejay so he started traveling with us at that particular time especially there was a rise of the Nation of Islam if you familiar with the Nation of Islam yeah and he had just started engaging some of the things that they were saying and he saw some truth in what they were saying and specifically it was true that especially a lot of black Christians weren't acknowledging and a lot of that truth is dealing with just the systems and knowing how to battle the systems a lot of church you know just the weight search is built the only way you know just look at the whole spiritual side of it but but really look at Scripture it looks at both spiritual as well as the physical the social how do we deal with that so by the way I was disciple does have a Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other you know just be able to know what's going on society and knowing how to apply the two so my brother he got involved with the Nation of Islam and really connected with them he eventually became a 5% and at that time and this was a time in my life that I mean it was devastating for us and devastating for me I was like oh I can't believe you're doing this and and I and I stopped I shut down the group no there's more to that story but I'll kind of take a herb when I shut down that group I connected eventually with a guy the name of Josh McDowell Josh McDowell is a well-known apologist in the whole Christian world which apologist you know be an apologist you know sharing why do we believe what we believe defending the faith and that whole deal and so I started traveling with Josh I became the host of his youth events and started touring and toured with a lot of different people that was in that whole world and so did about said well gosh about seven years with Josh we did about three tours together and what I would do is I would host his events and then I would do my music and hip hop so I would open up basically for whether it was Josh but also from Rebecca st. James and the Newsboys and just some of those cats just in the Christian music industry and world and so from DC tall to-to-to bebe and CeCe Winans you know that whole era all of those cats was was my people my friends and stuff so I got a chance to do that and it was again it was once again part of my whole journey which I love to do it as far as with my brother we are very very close now but you could imagine you know a Christian and a Muslim you know trying to figure it out you know and most of our first three or four years was just argue we just are back and forth and went back and forth and I got all my apologist tools and I battled with him and he got all of his newfound truths that he battled with me and we've been back and forth and it was a time in my life where the Lord spoke to my spirit in my heart and he's just simply said there's Fred Freddie don't you realize that I'm big enough then if he's even running from me that he can run right into me you don't have to try to fight and try to control the process and allow work in his life and that's a great place where no it helped me learn and understand okay God's in control let God be God and let him be big enough to handle all of his children and because that's what he does anyway and so that has been our process so there's been some really good reconciliation with my brother and I you know at that particular time we were now enable I wouldn't able to hold that and handle that you know what would have been like now I mean we don't see that to this day to have some you know one big professing yes I'm you know really seeking after truth as as a Christian and then yeah well I'm seeking out the truth as a Muslim and so well let's let's go do some something together you know it's just I don't know if the world is ready for it I don't know if the church is ready for it but that's what we were at and I kind of I wasn't ready to do it yet so I shut it down travel with Josh and had a good time traveling the rolling working with josh mcdowell I did that for about seven years from Josh McDowell I started traveling with a group called youth specialties where we start where we were training youth workers and speakers and use just the basically the basics of youth ministry how to connect with students how to connect with kids and in that process I kept doing my hip hop's kept doing hip hop but it was an interesting thing I was not in the mainstream Christian hip hop world I was kind of on the fringes through Josh McDowell was able to do a lot of tours to perform in front of a lot of people sold a lot of albums kind of made a living for the last 15 years or for those that those 15 years through yup hopping on hip hop and after that went on into deeper levels of ministry that's awesome man um talking about being able to to have a conversation that's not trying to win them over um for me that was one of the biggest signs of my awakening well I didn't have to be right all of the time I gave up my right to be right I gave up my ambition to win the conversation and trick you even to become a Christian or stump you or whatever we're like every person is the opportunity you have to win so you can't like genuinely be friends with someone who is not a Christian because you're trying to win them you have this a hidden motive and psychologically you are you're always looking down upon that person as not having the the truth or whatever once I sort of have in my awakening that left and that was beautiful like that didn't have to you know convince them to believe what I believe and then deep down to be able to understand was the fact that if I got them to believe it um it like kind of helped me with my belief like I don't what's the word I'm looking for help help me believe that what I believed was right if I got somebody else to believe it right absolutely it's an interesting compulsion I think that's a good way to describe that because I've been there as well that there's this compulsion that you gotta you know you got a share out of a well I I personally would call it a err an early definition of what love is when we look at kids okay we look at children when children connect with other children one of the ways of them showing their love for their daddy is their understanding of their dad is big their understanding of their father is strong and so their immediate thing what they're gonna say to another kid my daddy can beat up you know my daddy is greater than your daddy and a lot of that is out of this first grade level this elementary level this first of what love is it's my definition of love which takes me to where the scripture says that the fear of God is the what the beginning of wisdom yeah and that's only the beginning is the beginning because I look something that's so much bigger than what I am then here's my question if the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom then what is the end of wisdom what's the whole filament of wisdom I think that the love of God is really the fulfillment of wisdom it's the it's the it's where it takes it you shouldn't have to stay in this place of fearing God if you could say it if I stand in the church folks would embrace it like this I first came to Christ because I didn't want to go to hell yeah okay I first gave my life to Christ when I heard the whole story I got sold on the package get out of hell okay I want that I gave my life to Jesus because I didn't want to go to hell but I didn't stay with Jesus because I didn't want to go to hell I stayed with Jesus because I fell in love with who he is I fell in love with what he was about and it was somewhere in that process of a deeper level of love for him that I was able to let go of this compulsion that I had to win all of these people because I had to start kind of looking at myself and realizing do I really love these people or am I just as you say trying to hustle these people into there my definition of love I'll never forget one particular day when I was in this type of compulsion and and I loved it I I don't necessarily disrespect or diss that level of compulsion I understand it because I have been there I taught evangelism at a Bible School for five years and and I and I talked on about the importance that the joy of understanding that sense of compulsion that you tasted something good and you want everybody else down here today I get that yeah I remember when I was in that level of compulsion once and this was back when I was young I first gave my life to Christ and of course I was just everybody got here I had to be maybe 14 maybe 15 at the most because I didn't have my car yet so I was riding on a bike and this was the old school husky bikes them black Huskies that they had the big old foam see that the seat was so big look like a couch all your boys could get on that's my name like right I'm right and I see this person down the street right see the person up street and of course what do I sense you you you know this story I feel the Holy Spirit says go go and tell go tell the truth go tell the story so I ride on my bike I ride up to this person and then I have some of the terrible most terrible lines okay I had lines like and this is the line I would let me confess let me get this out true sleep this is the line I said I said excuse me do you know what time it is do you know what time it is and he was like oh well you know I don't have a watch well the Bible says today is the day of salvation it's time to know about Jesus and I go in on this dude right and I'm preaching and I'm teaching and I'm just doing it I'm doing my own thing man I had I had the old Bible tracks that looked like a dollar then when you fold it is the Bible pen I was mean it broke its you know it was I was I was caught up in that wonderful level of love not knowing that there was a greater level that I could go to a greater level they God was already it right so so here's the deal and this is where this level start to break for me I'm preaching to this kid I'm preaching to this dude and he's just accepting it he's like yeah that's good so we come to the decision point so I say so do you want to give your life to Christ he's like yeah so I'm like okay great let's pray on the corner right there in my city in my town I prayed with this dude on the corner and after I pray wouldn't we both have bowed our heads we prayed together we looked up he was like thanks I was like you get it you're on your way to heaven I gotta go get some bread because my send me to the store in the first place go get some bread man I was I was like compulsive kids so compulsive had to witness that my parents mount my aunt and uncle at the time will raise me they'll even wanna send me to the store they knew that I was gonna be gone for two hours but I was on fire might've witnessed okay so so anyway I was like you're on your way to heaven I'll see you when you get there and I took all variety when I take off riding this is what I felt the Holy Spirit sex feature I felt the Holy Spirit say did you even know his name and I thought I didn't even know his many and he said so is that love and bro that broke me so much I started crying because it just is shipped my whole world because I was in this one level of of living in this compulsive place where I had to everybody I saw and I know they had to know God they have to know about God they have to know about the level of God that I knew about and if you didn't know about this you might not know something might be wrong I just got to make sure you know and and guys start showing me no no I'm working with so many different people on so many different levels let me work let me do what I do and so that was a great place of just questioning for me I didn't even hear I had done one of the most intimate things that you could ever do with a person is pray with them to God but I didn't even know their name I didn't even asked for their name I didn't even care about me what was the biggest thing they give me caused me it's like I didn't even care to know their name I didn't want to know about them I just wanted to know that they knew about Jesus that I know that but if Jesus is saying that we supposed to grow in and do life together in love one another why was that not the case for me why was it that I just wanted them to pray this quick prayer and then I can I can leave them what will you know what will happen in life and it was a good process of awakening for me I I think we we come to this place of awakening when we started when we start honestly allowing questions to resonate within us and then we start seeking for answers to deeper questions this good man um maybe there was a different revelation of hell that came in there - I don't know you take on that I know that that can mess with your evangelism right because if part of that Christian duty is that young man is going to hell for all of eternity to burn in the lake of fire and he doesn't even know it let me tell you what you did wrong type deal I'm gonna tell you what God did right so you want to tell them the you know the gospel so there's a desert Duty there and there should be it I was I talk about it a lot but there's a there's a short video interview on that interview cycle of vlog that are Penn Jillette did from with our magician from Penn & Teller who is any you know start atheist who's like really out there disproving the Bible and make mocking the belief of God and those type of things and he's talked about that one of his convictions or whatever shows somebody came up to him and knew he was eight this and gave him a little green Bible and just say hey I love your work love what you do here's a Bible my information is in there if you ever get a chance you need it just really give me a call or whatever and the guy knew that he was a an atheist that would eat your lunch right this is what he does um but pan talked about the that he doesn't respect any religious person who doesn't proselytize it's the highest form of hatred to believe that somebody is going to hell for all of eternity but you don't want to tell them so there's this duty that you have and you're freaking out because everybody is going to hell it's like the majority is going to hell them you know your your teachers at school the bus driver the freaking guy at the store whoever it is they're all going to hell unless you share the gospel and I went on a rant about this but like if you're having a bad day and you just don't feel like it well that person's going to hell because you didn't because you had a bad day and you deal I tell them to gospel so he's talked about not even respecting anyone who doesn't share the gospel even though he doesn't believe it is that what he must really hate somebody not to tell them hey your there's a cliff there and that's kind of some of the discipleship training that you've probably taught over the years hey that person's what about to walk off of a cliff and they can't see it they don't know it you can see it you need to tell them so I'm sure if you're more lacks now and more wisdom and more you put your view of he'll probably change because totally change that's part of her awakening how do you grasp that do I even have to tell people about Jesus what is the gospel is it the grace flood what is is it something that God is going to save somebody or God has already saved everybody and we just need to let him know that's another revelation we talked about Carleton Pearson and I've kind of ran into his work early on two of like man he talked about this grace flood and how Jesus is the king of the world he saved everyone type deal so what's your views on Hell now when it comes from coming from you know regular Evangelic or Christian ministry your you know I have to win you to to heaven right now to where it is now you know ah let me preface it by saying this I'm a big fan of a Richard Rohr I think I've mentioned his name to you before and said hey check this dude out I really like his stuff and if maybe some of your readers out there or something your listeners out there are familiar or ever heard of love his work love his stuff I personally am an ultimate reconciliation Asst and Richard Rohr talks about this idea of what we see in inhale and and what what hell is I think that there is a such of course there is a such that you know we dreamed it up we thought about it then there's that's there the question of it though it came to me in this sense how permanent is hell or how permanent is what hell does now let me I saw I'm saying that by saying I'm an ultimate reconciliation ax stand as an ultimate reconciliation in this it means that God ultimately has reconciled everything that he's created he's already reconciled it through the work of Christ and not only through the work of Christ but the very fact that when he spoke it into existence and said it's all good before we in the Christian world see we put so much emphasis on Genesis 3 where everything fell apart but we forget that before there was a Genesis 3 there was a Genesis 2 and the genesis of one okay that he spoke it and when he spoke it he loved it it was all good okay but then of course we know there is no great story without great conflict so of course it goes into this whole thing of conflict when it goes back to the situation of Hell this is where I believe I personally believe that that that hell is a place of cleansing hell is a place of letting go of breakdown of you know evil of letting go of things that just don't work anymore but as far as our eternal soul living in hell I don't see that translation I see the translation of the saying that we live in inhale for possibly those that go through situations hell living in Hell for eons so I tie hold on to that whole idea of an eon being a completed time a completed season I being raised Catholic I love a little bit more of the idea of Hell being more like a purgatory type situation I mentioned the situation or I mentioned the author Richard Rohr and I mentioned Richard Moore oh gosh and I just lost why I was going to talk about rich but I see oh this is what Richard Stewart talks about is that when we look at the Christian tradition we've got to look at the Christian tradition from the last 2,000 years not the last popular 500 years okay so we've got to take in and we've got to also give room and give space for those who were considered fringe Christians the mystics and those and so if you pull in the entire history of Christianity then you see a very different picture of Hell than what we see in our populous view in the Western world so so so that was the reason why I bought out the situation with the author Richard war and then there's people who know who he is and cat peoples now I love I love Richard Rohr so ya got love for that cat man and so yeah I just don't I don't see this is one way I explain it to my kids and just to kind of give you a story behind it my kids became teenagers I really have to deal with the issue of hell because they weren't the cute little eight year old seven year old kid that goes to church and I can dance with them on the front island and look so cute to everybody else and we're having fun and they love God they love God because mom and dad loves God and then they you know cuz you know when they become teenagers all of a sudden they have a new set of values right and so my kids start going through that and when ultimate realistic reconciliation really hit me was at that place I started asking myself you know I was involved in ministry at that time for close to 15 to 20 years and I had led quote-unquote led so many people to Christ I had been a youth pastor and all of this and here my own kids it wasn't that they hated Christ it wasn't that they hated the things of God and church it was just that that's all they had seen and known and they news a bigger world out there and so my deal is I personally said well I'm not gonna force you and make you you gonna have to do you gonna have to serve God I say you're gonna have to follow as God leads you that's what I want to do I want to celebrate that because I know that's how it became very real for me any time to push told me and cram down my throat won't work so so as they start doing that I started seeing the whole idea of ultimate reconciliation that has made so much more sense because I love my kids I love my wife I love if they particularly and not at this place where they're all courting pull on fire got like for God like I am does that mean that they're going on here does that mean that all of these other people are going to hell then it just doesn't it didn't make sense to me completely so this is what I explained to my kids I said to me hell is almost like when I wash dishes my dishes are dirty I don't throw the dishes out because they're dirty I don't get rid of them and discard them all I really want to get rid of is the dirt that's on the dish so I put the dirt I put the dish into a situation that will not completely destroy the dish but it will destroy everything that's not the dish and there's some ground in dirt sometimes that almost looks like it's a part of the dish so we've got to get him something that really challenges it it's got to get in some hot water I said to me hell is that type of experience I experienced a more of cleansing or getting rid of the evil getting rid of the dirt on the dish saving the dish and moving forward that's and that was a very very simple explanation yeah but I don't do it I hold to it and I love that simple explanation I think that our problem in the Christian world is that we got to the point that hell became a bargaining chip and it became a very very heavy strong bargaining chip we can get people from church with this we can finance our causes with this we can keep things flowing with this but if you win them with that fear you have to keep them with the air versus winning them with the love and ecstasy and who God is I mean but even with that sometimes you have to keep them with that you know and I'm saying so it just becomes just how this painting of the full picture of who God is and there's a question in chat and I'll ask this about you obviously we don't know what everything is with hell or saying literally but somebody has a question wanting to know for it for you I believe that that hell is more of a state of being and in the scriptures where like in the Old Testament there's really no mention of Hell at all except from this conscious place of torment of separation from God if you will you know this place where I mean I'm in a season or consciousness where I can't see God or I've done things that kind of have separated me and my on my own conscious from God so that's what I believe but then again even if that's the process that we're in or a place that we can go to for a time Kris Kris garner has a question wants to know what about unbelievers those outside of Christianity is that are they still like all going to hell is Jesus the exemption from Hell or even believers I mean we have to be purged to just because you believe in half faith doesn't mean you don't still deal with your demons or you don't still deal with that stuff I've even heard at one time this was a crazy explanation but about the Evangelist Damon Thompson well I really like Damon Thompson but I was listening to him one day and it made me just turn it off but he was like talking about how God created Hell for the demons for the demons to go to it for them to be tormented or burned up or whatever um but he says that God didn't make hell for you but if you have demons on you when you die God sends those demons and you go with them like I heard I was like what kind of explanation what in Dante's Inferno was this you know like you know what so so with your understanding you know I'm saying is it all Christians exempt from hell because of Jesus and everybody on the outside do they still go to hell but only for a period like how does that work that's a good question let me answer first of all with one of the cutest things I've ever heard there was an error that we had gone through a lot of our reading of the questions of Christians have demons or not right and I heard somebody answer it this way somebody ask the preacher kind of Christian have a demon and the preacher said well if if he want to like me if they want to they could have it I agree with you I think that he'll is a is a state of being a state of mind I think also with the question of Christianity you know those outside of Christianity if Christ is the Christ of all okay if Christ is the and the word Christ is highest the highest then from God's perspective there are none outside of Christianity yeah I'm with you no no that's that's a huge way of saying I believe that Christ died for all okay that means in my all perspective is that is all before the coming of Jesus the man from Galilee from the very beginning that all in campus are encompasses all other whether there are different other races alien races on different planets that means all that has been spoken and created all Christ the the picture of the death burial and resurrection of Christ was the real revealed closing argument for how we gonna make this all work for all for all of us to come for all that has been all there is and I'll take it even further that even means since the adversary is a personified you know we personified the adversary that means every knee shall bow yeah that oh yeah that means fallen aim Jules that means all and we'll read in Revelation as soon as that death in hell they both get obliterated death and hell gets obliterated so the good that God saw at the beginning of Genesis when he created it all I think that was the good that said the entire story not the good for that good moment and I think that that's what we end up seeing in in our view of Christianity is that it was good for just a moment that's not married and it's only good on the honeymoon and the rest of your life is just bad you know just I don't see Christianity like yeah there's some people in the chat saying things similar like I believe you create your own hell things like that maybe even the tormenting of demons you know what I'm saying the different torments and things that we go through that is personified in Hell and Dante's Inferno whatever or the apocalypse of Peter which is very much like Dante's Inferno of these demons like the evil that you did to people on the earth like that's how you're going to be judged like as it was done and as you have done it will be done unto you I think that I know that the dark that you've done it you have to deal with it like people and let's just use some analogies like people who have like uh or situations somebody who's committed murder like you have to deal with that demon for the rest of your life you have to like try to convince yourself that it didn't happen I have friends who have who've killed people you know drunk driving and they have to say they have made up different realities in their mind because they're tormented by the ghost of that person if you've if you've robbed someone if you've severely injured someone you know most Christians are like evangelizing to kind of counterbalance the evil that they've done but a lot of people who haven't reconciled their feelings and emotions they're tormented by those demons for the rest of their life and their buffeted and I believe God even allows demons into our life - but - buff with us to get us ready for Christ's hood type deal on the earth just just how Jesus was tempted in every way and things like that but um there's no escaping it like the repercussions mentally and what that does to your psyche and leads people to drugs leads people to I mean substance abuse and stuff like that were they whether things that they've died those that substance abuse that all of those type of things that you're doing to try to try to get and say well I'm going to deal with it I think this and a scientific way of saying is this cognitive dissonance is hell cognitive dissonance when I am my mind I am in conflict because I know what I've done in my body I've done in my real life experience I have not come to a place of reconciliation in that I have not come to a place of true sorrow and true forgiving myself and letting that go and becoming renewed that's resurrection but when I am in that place of Darkness where I'm deeply darkly guilty still there's a scripture in the translation in Proverbs it says that the righteous know what to do with their guilt but the unrighteous constantly just mock it and make fun of it they maybe that's yes the rep remind yes God has given him over to the reprobated mind so that they would what believe a lie well leave a lot there's a scripture in Psalms that says this it says to the righteous you show yourself righteous to the pure you show yourself younger and then it says this it says but to the treacherous you show yourself shrewd think about that it God's like if you're gonna be pure I will give you more room for more purity and more things purer and you will end up seeing all things pure okay yeah if you want to be if you want to be wild if you want to be crazy if you want to be trife if you want to be like that then I'm gonna be just a shrew and allow all the life circumstances that you see to be justice trifling to be just as well to be just as ranch it because that's what you see that's what you want and I think God gives us what we want okay I have we take it even further than that I mean and this is some of my friend your stuff and the whole process of my awakenings and stuff like this but I see it like this is that I tend to to enjoy some of the different views like so from the Kabbalah stick the Kabbalistic view of God was one and in this this shattering and so all of us have a little bit of God a piece of God within us and that when we talk about the marriage supper of the Lamb that is the metaphor for a coming one because the Christian metaphor for marriage is two becoming one so the marriage supper of the legs is really that sense of singularity when Hall okay so with when when all things come back together what if hell is the real unjust knowing that I am a part and the fighting to stay apart because my belief of what love and what hate is love is the commitment to become one that's what love it with all things with all things so therefore hate is the commitment to stay apart wow I'm gonna stay art no matter what and I'm gonna find excuses oh it's your color always so it's the food that you eat it's the way that you talk it's and I find all of these excuses and living within those fuses those skewers you hear my hood coming out living in those juices is hell it's hell there is no way you can reconcile look at where we are in our political situation living within that that that that commitment to being a part that come the staying away that is hell order everything like we can do with me when we come together it's the chaos right so it's like the chaos even by design for those people to keep us separate because there's power in unity yeah the people who have created the chaos are in unity yeah understand unity and they understand keeping you disillusioned and separate right fighting amongst yourselves fighting amongst denominations fighting among schisms and speaking in tongues or a Christian or not hey let's have them fight let's and then and didn't even break it down with you know from religion to religion but even within the religion to the denominations and even within the denominations have all types of other schisms as well um but there is power in in unity but let me ask you this just to kind of throw this and I don't even know if it fits but maybe it does cuz uh there's all this stuff about coming together how we are the same right because in Christianity like part of my awakening was the whole thing that I must show you why we're different I'm gonna show you why I'm not like you anymore I was like you I was asleep I was a sinner bah bah bah bah in it so you have the one-up on the people and you evangelism or whatever um now I'm in this revelation of understanding a word people me and uh I'm saying the Muslim there's a similar pursuit that's God for truth for righteousness and right and that goes from Christian Muslim New Ager spiritualist Hindu whatever that there's a similar pursuit but then again within those religions there's people even in your religion who they don't even know God but they know the Bible they know the scriptures they have a form of godliness but denied the power up power thereof and you may have more common with the Muslim than you do the person sitting next to you and your pew that took my spirituality to the next level it really did wonders for me man um and then so finding out why we're the same I get called out sometimes by friends who you know do it in a in a loving way shout-out to Kenny but this is we all come in a you know understanding together God calls us to be holy God calls us to be separate come out from among them you are different you are a peculiar people there's a mark upon you type deal where does unity versus holiness cuz like you you you you become so holy if that's what you're seeking to like you don't even talk you don't go nowhere you don't talk to nobody it's just you in the books and God you just state your recluse you're so holy you're recluse now hermit you've become a monk or something right I don't think that's the point at all like that God didn't want us to do that at all so where does that kind of we're separate yet the same how how does what does that look like now for you that's a good question what I personally am doing now my day-to-day my nine-to-five is I work in schools I work for a nonprofit organization is called Rachel's challenge Rachel Scott was the first girl that was killed in the Columbine incident and so I go from school to school and in public schools share her story this is what I've come all we really share is the power of her ideas of compassion and we challenge students to live a life of compassion that is an invitation for everybody in everything I've seen Satanists get hit with the idea of compassion and it hits their hearts warms their heart and they're like I want to do more well guess what you're invited to the party and to me if that is not the essence of what kingdom work is that's what the kingdom of God is is inviting everybody to the party now now that you're in the party how're we gonna party to me that's the whole idea of a higher call a higher level of separation how I party I'd no longer party I wish I couldn't remember this way I no longer party the things that get me riled to get me lit to give me krump are no longer the things that I used to party over I'm not partying over destruction I'm not partying over separation I'm not all into I'm better you you're better than me so I'm that's where that call of separation is in other words my whole state of what holiness is because this is how Jesus did it like this of course we know that Jesus was other you look at so many people talk I mean there's disciples he speaks the wind and waves and they say what manner of man is this they knew that he was other yet so they knew that he walked in this level of truth that was so hot yet there was rumors about him that he hung out with the tax collectors the publicans the sinners he's a line there but why would they call him a wine-bibber if he wasn't sipping old son okay so he was connected with people that's why I love the mystic John John the Misses this is what I love about mystics and I think that's a part honestly true secret what draws me to you is the mystical side of who and what you're about that really resonates with me I changed my tag on my Twitter from hip hop theologian to hip hop mystic because I because I think that when we look at John the scripture says that John said that Jesus was this perfect balance of grace and truth grace and truth you know all truth that I'm so separate and that I'm just from everybody and then not all grace that everybody's in and then there's everybody do everything with what they want because if we keep doing everything then of course cognitive dissonance comes in because that separation comes in and now we're all in heaven fight okay and so it's not that there is this level there's this constant level Paul saying once in the book of Corinthians yet I show unto you a better way and I think that's a resounding theme throughout scripture is that God constantly just shows a higher way and it's a higher level of thought and high level of thinking here they call Saints too and then we we achieved that but it's not achieved that to leave those who are behind it's too encompassing inter-band them to connect with them so our main with a party but just like it's not parting on a lower level there is a German word for humor there's two types of humor and I love both because I think all humor is honestly based on paint but there is a level of humor that's based on the pain of others and forgot the German word for it's a cool word that is is saying I'm just laughing is it's almost a translation for slapstick it's like laughing and how somebody just got slapped cuz I know that that hurt and so I'm laughing at that that to me is not necessarily holy humor okay it's not it's not I'm not laughing at the dis the hurt and the pain of others I'm laughing at the fact that I know I've been there and it's gonna be alright in there it's kind of hope in my humor that's the left next level but but I guess I'm trying to pull humor in to uh to kind of compare that with holiness to I think that holiness that calls us higher and at the same time we're loving those who haven't got to that higher place that's real holiness yeah but the holiness we all know I know cats that are so holy that I know churches and guess it don't wear the makeup and got the dress isn't on it and there just isn't backbiting there just as you know prideful there is they got hurt they got pain and if you don't think that they're going through him then one of the worst hell is the whole hell of lying to yourself you know you got issues you need to get up those issues and I think there is only in life and they're living together or we're able to see one another and see I'm there yeah the other and so that's why we got to stay in connection and we've got to do what Jesus did have that balance of grace in true and even that to like even though he did kick it with the tax collectors the Weinberger's the drug because he was one of the the people right he was with the people people he did that they were seasons where he went away where he went into the mountains when he went on top of the mountain to the desert too fast for days you know what I'm saying so it's it's both it's not I think both there is a scripture in there's a piece in Kings where Solomon's pray and he says give me the wisdom to go in and out among your people and that resonates with me I think there's this whole process of going in and out meaning this is my not my idea of priests to it a priesthood is someone that represents God to the people and the people to God yeah and there is there is tension in between those two if you think I mean do you ever do you have friends that like you like man I wish these my two friends could man if you knew this person man you would allow this person then you go back to that parasite you knew this person you love them but you can both get them both together and they really don't get along as well as you thought they would get along yeah right and so there is this tension for you because you love both and you want to pull both together there is a tension in priesthood then we all have to walk through where we represent people to God and God to people now I'm saying that to say this I don't think that God secretly just can't stand people that's our problem I think we secretly came to their people and we're surprised when we realize how much God loves people and the scripture says once again proverbs it says that that all evil is in God's sight opening God's eye he sees everything so that means he sees the evil on the inside of the church-going Christian same gospel loving you know got all my gospel rap and god almighty eat but he sees all that ate evil he sees it there because of course it's there it's the part oh yeah we Tom just loud no that's good man we talked about your background ministry Christian ministry we talked about some theology we get we got it in on on the hill subject right alright so let's talk about Christian mysticism Christian mystics did and usually those are birth by encounters or deeper revelations or whatever the case is so what what are some of the things and sometimes it's even hard eventually to even pinpoint what does that actually even mean like you didn't have a moat you're you're like more loving you're more compassionate you're more inclusive like that's a vet that's a great starting point but maybe the starting point I'm not sure but um what are some of the experiences that you've had and like whether it's mystical experiences with with Jesus with angels with meditation prayer with understanding healing and vibrations and words like what is what is so could you're calling yourself a mystic now we've heard the Christian part let's hear a little bit about the mystical side of what you believe now or maybe the revelation of what you've already believed and I would I would say I think that most mystics they can identify with this thread through their lives of this this this of this voice of this of this calling of this resonance that pulls them to to this place that has always been there and so I can I can go back as far as you know as a kid I was that weird kid I was very accident-prone I was a kid I broke my leg broke my clavicle bone broke my arm fell off a house cracked my head got hit by a car twice once on the freeway well so street I was very accident-prone kid and a lot of it was because my head was just in the clouds I was just listening to that voice I was just in that flow I was in my head I was in my heart and just wasn't even in this world paying attention that was my that was me as a kid and the whole calling to Christ I remember going I went to a Catholic school my mom was a single mom worked 18 hours a day to get her kids in a Catholic school because she was raised Catholic and so we went to this little Hood Catholic School in San Francisco and I remember in a confession and just telling the priest I want more maybe I should be Baptist not getting enough I want more you know and that was that had been me when when I gave my life to Christ I remember times praying I'll never forget I clinical I led my friends my boys on the block to Christ are there baptized and we had a creek behind our house behind some houses or in our neighborhood I was a little creek we went to the creek and I baptized them you know and that was I remember us during the summer and getting together and praying and I remember this one prayer time was probably most powerful moments I ever had we're all praying with praying of spear and praying in tongues and we're praying and you know kind of just moving and we had and I know this is gonna sound weird it's gonna sound crazy but honestly when we opened our eyes we had transported to a different part of the living room now I don't know there's maybe scientifically you could say that we was moving our feet up and down and so we all move together in unison to a different part you could say that all I know is that when we stop praying stop praying in tongues and we open the eyes all at one time we didn't even know what jolted us but we all open eyes and jolt it and realize we're in a different part of the living we're gonna of course as we was young teenagers like that was that was your boy you know and so right now what's really in my soul it's meditation let me say it - let me preface it to say this because I want to give some of my life story along with it so the why behind it the last five years of my life with my my marriage my marriage had fell apart I had we been married for over 25 years have a wonderful beautiful wife I've been married now for 28 born on my 29th year but at our 20th year anniversary and we had been done ministry and we had gone hard and done all of this and and we recognize that it start falling apart my best way of explaining it is to say that I think that the tools to live together for 20 years we had that down but it posts 20 years now yeah started having teenagers now that we almost we kind of knew instinctively knew each other's moves and knew what each other would do we had grown apart and we didn't realize it and we didn't have the tools to live post 20 years together and so we had found ourselves heart and never argue for 20 years arguing not seeing life I die and all of this and it was meditation that started pulling me back to a place of loving accepting letting go of the past forgiving myself and being gentle with myself not being so judgmental once again I was that on fire minister always expecting the highest knock and my wife was like look I'm just tired all of that who regular nine-to-five jail B's and just live life like regular people and I was like no we gotta go animation meditation that bought me and so I decided I wanted to go in deep and I started going in of course I started with out with the meditation apps from the headspace to the calm and and that what that had done for me what you know praying in the spirit praying in tongues I got challenged by people early in my life you know Priya tones every day you know and so I pray in the spirit pray in tongues and seek God and all of that what I would physically personally experience Elyse imps and feel on that spiritual high I knew it was the same thing that I got in meditation that's good though so walking in the spirit when Paul beckons us walk in the spirit that walking in the spirit when I got into meditation I was like oh my gosh this is it yeah I and so I personally that that is my thing now I I'm a practice of meditation it's caused me to fall in love with with what's happening in the whole Buddhist movement I consider myself oh I'm a Christian for sure definitely but I so resonate and love our Buddhist brothers I think that they have something that we have walked away from 500 years ago we got so into the you know it was during the Enlightenment or the Reformation came about of that and we had to kind of almost like put our product out on the shelf when when you know enlightenment came well this is what we have Reformation and so much of what Reformation was about was in our heads improving through words emerging ideas and arguments that we had lost experience yeah and you look at John John opens up this old old preacher what what what why do we even need to listen to you because he opens his old book up was saying that which we've heard that which we've seen that's what we touch with our hands that's the word of life that that's his justification experience of walking with God mm-hmm okay now and to me in meditation I I just all sudden move out all of these other ideas and thoughts and arguments and also that thread that thread that I've said there's been there all of my life that thread begins it just vibrates I see it I I know it I pay attention to it and I just I just listen to I let the thread do what it's doing and it just pulls me in it it pulls me closer now here's let me throw one of my fringe things that I I think of okay this is one of my friends ideas about God what if from the that whole cabbalistic view that you know there's this great splintering and all of us what if there is like this thread or this connection that is pulling us all sir back to God and so what if when you hear like you know we all Christians say got some spoke to me God spoke to me what is the voice of God now this is gonna be crazy I'm just let me just say it what if the voice of God is the experienced you 200 years from now 300 a thousand years from now in the in the physical element of time but it's the very unis that's really you you know that you know that you know how do you know that you know that you know anything how do you know that you know that you know you know your true real experience and if the voice in the Spirit of God is just as you pulling you to you 200 300 a thousand years from now set outside of time and it won't let you go it won't let you go yeah and so to me meditation is is identifying with that red identifying with that pool and just letting it be and it just pulls me more um Astrid is in chat and she took the words right out of my mouth she said higher self being connecting with it higher self the higher self aspect and I think we I don't know if we've talked about this a lot but um the Greeks believed that like we were the gods experienced in themselves on different planets or whatever having like being tested here on earth and things like that and it kind of gets into Christianity this is a testing ground to prove where you're gonna go when you leave here type deal but understanding that on that ideal and then the higher self you're connecting with a you and I wove this into the meditation that you've connected with yourself before you receive the body when you go in you know communing I've been there right the Bible says that we are already seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus yes sir what if when we tap into meditation when we become still when we go to the place where there is no more thoughts the place which is known as in-between the thoughts were able to connect not only with God but with everything for God is everything God is in the breath God is you seated in heavenly places God is you here goddess is is one here o Israel the Lord is one what if we're connecting with that man you know what I'm saying I could see where you're coming from who is that 200 years 300 years a thousand eternity the eternal you that knows like there's people who believe that we have we have made contracts and we chose to be here to come and do this and but there was a place that we came from before we came to earth some some would even say that we're angels that fell from heaven and we're here on earth experiencing time slowed down right um it's really interesting going back to the meditation things and you're saying that uh you know the Buddhist stuff is really reaching out to you and for me it's a lotta Hindu stuff more than the Buddhist for me that's just what I've but it's all similar and once you've felt that that it that Holy Spirit that encounter it can lead you different places and to know God in the charismatic chaos and tambourines and spinning and falling out and people running into each other and shaking on the ground violently I've been to that stuff I love it that's my foundation right I've been there but then there was a place where I got burnt out and I started going to Messianic meetings where the power of this crazy preacher screaming sweatin glory what all of that power was in a still small space of somewhat of a meditation close your eyes and just give God everything let him know that you give him the cares of the week the cares of the world and just for these few minutes less focus on God and so the power of those crazy encounters was a contrast of being still and lighting candles and wearing prayer shawls and just meeting with the family and just like that's still power to go within and experience the power of a you know charismatic revival in the silence of a small meeting right and then to even that's me that's messianic Christianity Christian duty ISM whatever you want to call it I've experienced God there and I was led to that but even then led to Kundalini Yoga and to do yoga and to do meditation and they talk about the Kundalini fire and the essence and and there's this different poses that you put yourself in and it releases energy and you get caught up in a static euphoria and I'm doing it and I feel the thread I feel the ancient fire of the holy spirit that I that found me you know whenever he found me in and filled me with the fire and I'm doing Kundalini Yoga with these people and Sun Salutation and I could feel the presence of God it's the Holy Spirit and they call it other things in every culture the Chi the Kundalini you know pranayama the the life force that animates everything that's the breath of God the Ruach you know what I'm saying um it's there and we can tap into it by whatever means um that's the beauty like that's a that's a place of opening up ah that you're not you are special but you're the same we're all having this encounter we have put different names on it we've put different labels on it of this is what it is but you know the whole problem with religion is that we try to say that we own that like no that's ours this is the Holy Spirit this is the name of it whatever it's Jesus well that's not even his name Jesus never heard that name so trying to own these terms and stuff man we get it we run into problems but God is inclusive god is dead I believed I believed that the plumb line is in the book of Acts you know where he says God is willing to deal with any man as long as they'll repent repent just simply you know means turn from your foot listeners turn from your sins and confess your sins deal with your stuff you're talking about not running from being separate being a cognitive cognitive dissonance like you're okay and your sin you have to come to a place where you know you have to you have to confess that stuff and deal with it and God is willing to deal with any man as long as they'll repent that's whatever religion whatever part of the earth that you're in you have to do with that stuff but um man to see that the the lines that all of it's the same thing and we want to call it different things and that was was instill this big for me and it's what I call syncretism studying what makes us the same versus what makes us different didn't you start finding out there so much so much so much we'll look at like the whole pagan origins of Christmas and and this and and you talk about the Catholic Church I mean even last night I had we in the prayer session that we did like I was led to look up this Saint that this came to me look up this word found it was a saint in the Saint was venerated for being a fertility saint and you know there's cards and statues of the Seine and there's a day of that Saint that the honor that st. all saints day there's all of this kind of stuff it all runs together and we start seeing like the Catholics would invoke that Saint to help them with their prayers for someone who's dealing with fertility issues or nursing issues they would invoke that Saint in Hinduism they would invoke a specific God that was known for the you know fertility rites or whatever the case is we in Christianity we have these different names of God Jehovah Jireh Jehovah Rapha Jehovah Nissi Jehovah sick Kanu jehova sholom we have all of these different aspects of these different pieces of God and we've given them different names and we can invoke the name of that God and the God being one there is an understanding that you say okay well yeah we call on the one under with many names they call on all these other foreign deities no like I've had those conversations there is the schism there where it's all personifications of the one role all of these different names all is different personifications it breaks down into that and even for me in the scriptures in the Old Testament like to see you know the different analogies in the different allegory within the Bible and it's all states of being that we're going to play the role of King David we're going to face our Giants we're gonna have a giant when you call on your destiny the you know saying the road to your calling you're gonna face a golden calf now those golden calves idolatry you're gonna you have to play those roles you have to do that so they're all personifications and even in Hinduism even in Catholicism like it's all the same thing it's personifications of God and then personifications of the psyche and your spiritual walk all of it it's the same that there's different characters there's different names there's different heroes you know we and if we look at all of that we we really are saying the same thing it's the same thing over and over again so many of the different religions started out in a place of fire they start out in the place of everything is just just a group just great I mean we mentioned and talked about the Pharisees a while ago we talked about Jesus those that in his particular time that he confronted which were the Pharisees but if we understand the Pharisees when they started off man they had a noble cause that they started off with they had started off something that really was a distinct and apart from itself and it start off so right and you know it's it's it's the same story of Catholicism it's the same story in Judaism the very name Israel is though the one that wrestles with God why why is it that God said I'm gonna call you the one that's wrestling with me but we know the whole story Jacob and Jacob II guess its name turn to Israel but if sura al ezra the wrestling al with god wrestling with God what is it the gods like I like that about you I'm gonna run which one I'm gonna mess around with you cuz you own a wrestle leave your change break your leg yes I'll touch you and break you you will wrestle because I called you wrestle I think it's almost just nice let's use the analogy of the butterfly of the cocoon you know if it's the caterpillar that that wrestles out of it's shell that finds its wings okay because this is no longer needed when we look at the whole idea of shells that are no longer needed think about harvest okay I thought about this whole idea with harvest okay when we do harbors let's just think of a banana okay we harvest a banana ru is so excited about the banana peel no you don't even use the banana peel but the banana peel is needed to shield and guard the growth of the banana of the fruit inside and once that fruit is where is that when it's right now it's time to let go of appeal I think it was oh and I'm trying to think of his name was it Cece I think it was Francis of Assisi used to call his flesh the old husk that's what he called his flesh the old show a shell of a man still the shell it's that part of me that I'm growing out of I'm growing out of it and and there's parts of our lightest parts of religion that it's a shell and it's a good sale you need that shell for a moment because that's what it capsule aids it holds the fruit but then the fruit bursts out I got a sermon called busting out and of course I'll take it from Rick James bustin out because I'm old-school like that but and I talk about the idea of bustin out and when Jesus said if any man believes in me out of his belly shall flow rivers that was the busting out if you believe in me if you run with me if you hang out with me then there will be a bursting out of you out of you out of your belly rivers not out of the next conference that you go through ago to not the neck you know it's the experience that you have that's in you that will burst out of the husk that currently holds you it will burst out and as it burst out guess what happens after a while there is a bursting out then there is a new HUS there is a new shell there is a new box then before you know it you bust out of that box into a greater box that I mean if we look at the way the whole body is created we all started from one cell a1 cell organism there was so much in that one cell it was so much in that one cell that it could not stay within the confines of that one cell and burst out to two separators now yeah and and that separation though and see I think this is what we're all dealing with understanding you know the separation is really the breaking into more of what is it's all one I mean we look at one body it's all one body but I made up of trillions of cells yeah we are a human species made of trip up of trillions of lives and experiences and God is one God here no Israel here if you want to wrestle with me about this but I wonder I'm all of you I'm one of everything but if you you gotta wrestle with it though you can't just take it for face value you can't just dismissed it no I'm gonna wrestle and I love the idea of wrestling you know I says we wrestle not against flesh and blood I think that what we want is the knockout blow we just want to get it just put it in a book let me read it there's like no we're gonna wrestle if you've never really wrestled with somebody I tried to wrestle this one dude who's a wrestler wrestling man it's like I got you here but you got me here yeah so we don't stay right here I was like well I'm gonna get you here well I'm gonna get you here and I think that that's where if we look at our lives okay so yeah I got the meditation down but I can't sit and listen to my wife oh you and a wrestle so that means it ain't completely work yet huh okay so now I can stand listen my wife but I don't wanna play with my kids now kids I'm grown oh so you ain't got this thing yet so it's time to wrestle because the kingdom of guys for children so now I can be cute but I'm too much of a kid and now I got it's all a wrestle it's a balancing egg and this is the thing that we gotta enter into life with I believe we gotta enter into it the same way we did as a kid when you were a kid you saw a challenge in front of you was like okay let's go let's get it you wasn't like oh my gosh no it's like we can play again every day I wake up I get another day if this okay let's go it's good yes sometimes you know they say if your dream doesn't scare you you need a bigger dream no go that it is that it is that uh that wrestling match trying to that's a balancing act people don't like you know like talking about the balance because we're like all or nothing a lot of times even even me you know what I'm saying it but I've learned yet that you have to know yourself and know you know I'm saying your astrological sign how you make up how your brain works like um I do everything up you know 110 percent you know anything that I've focus on it's going to come to pass and that yes you know you put in you do it yeah that's my that's my callin with beautiful awesome stuff that's in my rebellion that's in my you know creating or branding something that I had no business messing with which happens to on the road to your destiny at times and spending money marketing and doing things and trying to figure out what it is you know what I'm saying and just knowing I mean that's all the wrestling match that's all but when you get after the match right whenever you're changed man and God sends you you come out of the cocoon you're going through the process there's a sending as well to go out and declare the things that you know the things that you've experienced and the troops you know to be real and um that's that's the best of beauty of it all is to you know none feel like you have it all figured out or have you uh are an expert on anything but this is your story this is your story I think that we are called when we read John once again the mystic he calls us he did he starts out his story with witness then we bore witness and he calls that we are called to bear witness and then he even says that in the ultimate end of what we are called to do is be in a in eternal witness bearing with God himself okay we bear witness with God and that is what heaven when it says fellowship our fellowship was with God it don't mean that we go on you know when when I grew up in church fellowship mean we all eat potato salad together you know that's you know so that mean we don't eat potato salad fudge ernit II know it was we bear witness there is this resonance that I feel you you feel me well there's so much I feel you you feel me look at the mystery of marriage I feel you you feel me we've been feeling each other now we all want we are connected we are one the witness bearing is the aha moment and if we just don't realize how valuable how golden how big of a treasure the aha moment is and in whatever you gotta do to everybody out there whatever you gotta do to get to that moment God is in it God is in there harmless yeah constant even with that uh you know they're coming together that's so powerful in itself we talked about like going into the prayer closet which is like the wedding chamber where the to become one you become one with the father spend time and intimacy right and where we are the bride of right we come together and then talking about when you know someone you come together intimately come together sexually when you do that you eventually birth something something is first and quite physically and spiritually as well something is birthed out of those intimacy's with God those encounters that you've had it changes its birth in you right and then you birth something out of you and bring it into the world something that was deep down within whether it's the you're calling your your your dream your destiny you're able to birth it and create it and and I don't know if you've heard any of this stuff but I've just been so blown away understanding that we are made in the image and likeness of our Creator right in an art when we create stuff that didn't exist whatever it is hopefully something beautiful but that power to create in the beauty of it what I feel you know my music it didn't exist and guided meditations this podcast whatever it is that you're creating you are just like your father you're just like me Almighty that's what he does he makes stuff he creates stuff and you can't wait for people to see it you want to show it off you know you burn yeah it didn't exist until you as a shaman maybe it go into the ethers get that idea wrestle with it now whatever it is there's different stages to bring it into this reality so things we create as we speak you know the manifestation process but some of the bigger goals and they take time there's seed time and harvest we have to water it plant the sea whatever we do until it grows until it comes forth but just that whole process of going in and bringing it out whatever man it's just so beautiful one of the things that kind of pulled me onto this as a freestyle Rodney I'm not a freestyle Rama I mean I can't freestyle it if you've ever gotten into the zone you your style is like it's an aha moment now mind you as a rhymer as an MC I don't know what it means also to go into my closet go into my woodshed and write the dopest rhyme and then come back and as I spit that rhyme I feel whether I'm looking at the people or not I feel there are ha like I think that's why like punchline rama's rappers love that because that is that it's like their eyes are open it's like that star kids here what I'm actually saying right that's creating out of the ether and and and freestyle dramas got me because I was like I love to see how they just create in a moment when they started you know looking at the brains and putting a freestyle rider on you know on on that whole the brain thing and scanning their brains it was like it's the same level of magic that happens with somebody meditates it's the same stuff so you add like all types of ways to get to that state here's the thing this is what I think is part of the gospel it's like a lot of us didn't realize that that state is already in us waiting to be unpacked waiting to be awakened yeah like we call the Kula Kundalini waiting to be awakened where if it's there and it's the scriptures Paul put it like this all of creation groans for the full manifestation of the sons of God yeah oh so so if I could take that down to my part there is a groaning within me that's waiting for that Kundalini to rise it's a blown for me for that third eye to open for my opinion glad I did I say the right way honey you know what there isn't that where Jacob wrestled with God yes pineal pineal that's what he wrestled with God indeed I God in some Jewish and some kabalists they say that he was wrestling with himself which okay I'll take both yeah an angel so I know that think to was a God or was it an angel you know then how you could take both and really is step out of the filter of time and space if you step out of the filter of time and space oh yeah you're wrestling with himself and I think the filter of time and space often kind of throws us off which of course I'm Stein called time and space and illusion yeah and it's so weird we're just like tell me when I talked about like slow down yeah we are experiencing time like we get to experience it I look at plant life men they're slowed down a lot slower they are when you watch a time-lapse of a plant that's like it looks like sped up moving you speed the time up they're moving they're communicating pollen right there they look just like us but they're slowed way down and there's other things that are slowed down and there's this different waves of time and animation that they're that they're on and I think even some people are talking about this in chat but very interesting and I look at that the time-lapse of a plant they're alive they're moving they're they're breathing they experience and communicate and all that stuff but it's a very slower you can't sit there and watch it no I've seen it move I seen a girl I seen a petal you can't do it but you could put on the time-lapse and do it the same thing when we step away from the earth we look at humans and what we're doing on the earth the earth is living itself but to see us on the earth and see cities towns being born roads being built if you stepped away you just see this little line and these yes well taking over this planet and it becomes to take a shape and a color and a form and it looks some a certain type of way the micro and the macro and there's even like like a mold there here whatever the case is that even if you was to zoom into mold if you were to zoom into your bloodstream yes and to see and it looks like a weight on your skin the talking about the warfare and there's little there's little mites and there's bacteria and they're fighting for dominance of the holy land they're fighting over who gets to live here when we wash our face face we kill a lot of them you know we help these other blood cells and these healthy enzymes and your gut your gut is your second brain and they're fighting over dominance of how you're gonna feel today versus what you've put in your gut and it just gets into this really crazy place baby so I don't know it's just just different revelations of life man when you step back and you see you know who and this is it blows your mind maybe on what is it movie uh I think it's um men in black at the very end they uh they open when they open that locker yeah and this comes out from the earth and then it zooms out from you know these two aliens playing marbles or something with the universe and then get out from that and it's something else and quite literally as we zoom in who we don't know how these things communicate these the the cells in the the spiritual warfare of your cells and of the bacteria and things like that which is really happening it's good is going on it's dangerous to be demon God is calling us to live in it these like live in the reality where Nastase thing is way bigger than you trust me trust that all is one and yeah if you are on one scale just part of a game of marbles you know but you could shift you could shift that view and you are also a family that is important that you play your role whether that's a mom or a dad or a son or daughter play your role with all your heart because the game is on even if this is just marbles I'm with you man I like that I like that um somebody mentioned when you're talking about being caught up in an aesthetic encounter of Prayer and you felt like you were moved I said you were translated you know Jesus talked about being translated in the scriptures and I think it was a Simon I think it was as well who mentioned it being transyl yeah you would translate it 5 feet there's some really beautiful things man when you tap into the spirit and you go in I remember when I when I first I came into the church got born again we would be in aesthetic levels of worship and just being caught up for 45 minutes to an hour with our eyes closed hands raised in a state of meditation with the music we know the drums and music put you into a trance state anyway and we're just I'm just an audience of one you and God don't know where you are and I feel like I'm floating yes you don't want to open your eyes you know like you're floating and I remember the guy who was disciple of me I asked him I was young man I think I was 13 at the time but I asked him I said uh are there any reports of people floating during worship like while they're worshiping God aziza he said no no no that doesn't happen or whatever and then I said okay cuz I really feel like I'm fitting to take flight like you know zan and uh but then you know you go to look into especially from the Catholic point of view there's the old paintings of the the priest in the mystics flying around town and there's reports supposedly the priest had the power to levitate the power of levitation there's the movie which is based off of us suppose his story of the Flying Nun who her feeling was so strong that she would shoot she would she would levitate she would float and they had to like tie her to a chair so she wouldn't float off and then the chair would fly so they had to like nail it to the ground and stuff and so they you you know who these different experiences man and we talked about leaving the body flying out of your body you know maybe that's the flying that I was experiencing but man there's just so much to experience in those euphoric trance states and the Bible talks about trance state I was in a trance on the Lord's Day you know what I'm saying the Bible says that over and over on the Lord's Day I fell into a trance and all of these beautiful mystical encounters in the mystery of the gospel the mystery revealed and just having this this beautiful encounter and it's so silly to think that uh you know the New Agers or the Hindus or whoever is outside of Christ who get to have these beautiful ecstatic encounters with God but the Christians don't get out of here yeah I'm saying like all that ancient Christians were mystics man the believer whatever you want to call them whether they're the S seems or what I did they didn't you know it's not it looks nothing like what we've we have today in and Western Christianity looks more like Hinduism man a little more like sects of Islam the women with head coverings and dietary laws and these different like they were they were set apart people man and so you see all of these different people who have a piece of the truth westernized Christianity there's a lot of good things about it they're still trying to keep this ancient spiritual practice in the evangelical churches you know they're praying in tongues they're shaking their going into trances they're gettin into trance State through music and and mantras and singing these worship songs over and over you know they don't know that I don't know what they're doing this is Christianity to them but it is very ancient practice that was done by all spiritualist too back in the day you know receiving messages from God and Holy Spirit and you know prophecies prophecies and tongues and interpretations of tongues like all of that stuff man so all of us in there and I think that as we as we deal with issues of spirit we realize that the Spirit is way bigger in his way ancient is made more ancient and it's not just our defined playground defined playpen within the bigger play back playground and as we continue to go we we start crossing lines what's cool about this day and time that we're living in is that because information is spreading which was prophesied about if there the knowledge of the Lord the knowledge of the highest shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea now we're in this place that I was just talking with a friend and telling them about you know I almost feel concerned and feel sorry for the youth pastor who has kids in there that through YouTube and through the internet they know about the amanaki and they know him how you know astral projection and they know about you know I have my son challenged me he was like he asked me and it was a great question I couldn't I decided not to give the Pat Christian answer he said what if those great prophets like Moses and Elijah what if they were induced by plants you know went well with plants not by plants but with plants that enhance their level of meditation to where they got deeper and they was up on this mountain now at that particular time we were at a Christian camp and we was on the mountain but it's a great great question and there is no way that I could try with my if the I have an honest relationship with my son there's no way they're not gonna be like nah that's not I don't know a lot of a lot of studies a lot of ancient art a lot of Christian art symbolism I mean there's UFOs and ancient Christian art there's many mushrooms around Jesus holding the Amanita muscaria they're all in all the ancient paintings and me even people even believed the you know the burning bush was the acacia bush that is known to produce high levels of DMT and uh and I'll tell you for me man I've had a couple psychedelic encounters and it's been through plant medicines such as psilocybin mushrooms but for me it was as I opening in life changing as my mystical union with Christ as maybe becoming born-again when when you're talking about the seal while we fall in love with Jesus hey let me tell you about hey everyone I'm in love with a man his name's Jesus I mean some of the things that we did I made it a point to tell everybody about this love that I have found that could change your life any I still tell him about that love right to this day and so when I did those uh you know saying we went on a men's retreat where we did psilocybin mushrooms and in the in the woods in nature and it was man life-changing I did two really deep encounters and um changed my life and I've been talking about him I why hold them back well I'm known for that the one who the guy who talked the Christian guy who talks about mushrooms whatever why hold it back if it's something that can change your life it's a secret but my lips are sealed because of judgment my lips are sealed because mob if my boss finds out I'm fired trust me what that came into the picture - the boss finds out I'm on the internet talking about doing mushrooms really you're doing that and you represent my company like all of that stuff but it was so life-changing that I had to speak about it because and I had friends who would keep it in man I'm gonna get fired man you could talk about I can't like I'm under the same scrutiny as you the better facade and that beautiful and that life-changing I have to be open and honest and yes it's working I honestly think that we're at a time once again at that whole knowledge of the Lord my knowledge of the Most High shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea you know water just flows and it overflows and it and it connects okay there was a time there was a time when what you just said about five minutes ago you said I'm in love with a man let me tell you about a man okay there was a time when that wasn't that popular okay and and it was outside of the confines of the accepted play period okay now that sounds cool maybe you could make a song out they don't go to a black church and tell everybody I'm in love with a man Oh everybody loves but but but but it is not as fun it is not as comfortable but tell them I met a mushroom okay Moses said we the time has completely changed now guess what it is documented that truth seeker met a mushroom that helped change everything that he sees and there may be some other people who may need a mushroom and but man that leads to a god that leads you back to you if that's what if that's the purpose of it you know what I'm saying and I think it is and I think I'm not on the cusp of anything I think that uh there this is a lot older a lot older than me then we're talking about communicating with the spirits of the plants and the spirits we're talking about these plants being alive and that gets into a whole nother wave of understanding but um people don't know it unless you talk about it and I found out that being vocal I pissed a lot of people off this video had seven dislikes before we even went live you know what I'm saying and then people are going through just systematically disliking all of my videos and like it's being done in waves people have multiple accounts and there's trolls and I get dirty messages all the time but um it's part of it but if I'm not vocal about it we'll be stuck in that paradigm and it's almost like the secret of Freemasonry we have the secret and or in in order for you to get these secrets you must be tested and you must be tried there's a there is a god aspect to that there is you want the deeper secrets you have to study show yourself move you have to fast and pray and spend time doing whatever it is and God will open his all says that the secret of the Lord is with those that fear Him I think there is a part in a place to where there is secrets there are actual scriptural accounts of God saying don't write this down book of Revelation job saw something he said I was about to write it down the angel said don't write it down okay so there is the level of secret but then there also is this level of disclosure there is a time and season according to the preacher Ecclesiastes for all things and I think that we are in that season and time that somebody has to bear witness so the reality then guess what I took these mushrooms okay I took this I took these plants and and I saw a whole different world well I mean the inventor the George Washington Carver was was a man of God saw God do you know how he said he got most of his inventions from the peanut plant and from all of those two plants he said he would go out and pray and seek God among the plants and God would start speaking to him and revealing the secrets of the plants and the plants would communicate to you know to him this I could be used for this and that could be used for that and that's how that opened up now of course we accept that because well this is a man of God but who would at the time that he was there yeah he was a racist system that just didn't follow him believing so he just joking out write it down and one day it'll be known okay I think we're at that place where it is this this breaking forth of knowledge and ideas and wisdom and I think that my biggest thing that I want to say to the Christian world to those I still serve and I still believe in our function as a pastor and that's somebody that loves the Sheep loves people as they're coming in is I would say don't be afraid realize how big God is and that God is bigger and he'll keep you cuz God is holding you it's not you trying to hold on to God and if you think that you're knowledge of God is you know what soldiers whole thing yeah are you just being arrogant and foolish and you're being like that little boy that says my daddy can beat up your dad see you realize that when you're no longer a little boy and you're a man that you don't live by fighting other daddies y'all really working on how can we work together get this neighborhood right but from a little boys perspective it's all about my daddy's beat up any man don't look that's a whole nother realm but I didn't have a daddy I couldn't say that I couldn't say that or that I would uh you know we would cut each other down and I would you know you would go to your mama your mama's - your mama is dead I remember I remember the first time I felt grieved man I was probably seven years old and I told a friend of mine we were telling your momma jokes I was your mama's did your mama boy but his mom was dead oh and he would started crying you ain't nothing your mama's so fat your mama your daddy know whatever it is he didn't hit they were dead you know it's like man our of words and the the Mama and Daddy thing is very big and a lot of times that's how we get our view of God was your dad or mom or performance person okay do better if you don't you better you know you go have your swim meet and you didn't do good we're not talking why didn't you do a good you could have did better yeah and so that's your view of God this God who wants you to perform did you mess up did you look at that stuff again did you do this why did you do it and then you feel like you're away from them even though there is correction God is God chastises those at which he loves he corrects you and that's the whole fatherly God process right but it's never you're not my son that's never I don't love you anymore those type of things and we have to understand that of what that why we call god father and there's this big thing of why is God a man or why do you view God like a man and I've been very honest I didn't have a father in my life and God became that father unto me so yeah there's a special place in my heart I can relate I I personally didn't have my dad around as well my father was a hundred percent disabled vet and he was a manic depressant and so the time that he was around it was more dangerous for me and I was the first in my family that my dad both physically and sexually abused and the reason why we got out of the situation was because all of this manic depressant came to a head when he tried to raise a family yeah so my view for a long time of God of God Father was that ha you know are you gonna flip on me you know I'm not you just just why me my dad was the dad he's tickling us and playing with us and all sudden something would trigger him and now he's hitting us yeah so am i pleasing you father God by doing these rituals by saying these things and are you gonna add any time you know flip on me and you know and now I got into accident and see I have to learn realize even those accidents maybe that's God cuz you know smacking me every night no it was the fact that I was who I was and it was to do with my colleague is not all over the place I had to grow from my puny baby elementary view of God to a bigger broader view of God and I think that that is what's happening to God's creation right now we are B we are groaning we're realizing that our view of God it was not it's not enough that we just had a shell-like view of God and now God Himself is just bursting out of that you can even say God herself I have a young lady that I disciple I want to mention her name but you know she she she Mitch's is the Holy Spirit of she and I not might go with that that's good that's good and so I give her a room she doesn't have room to do that in the church because the church immediately shuts her down but she's trying to say as something well who is el-shaddai the word el shaddai is the hebrew translation that is the big-breasted one the big breasts it was okay that's what else shadow I originally means so I'm like okay go with that and as you get to the point where you can bear witness to the divine oh good now you where you need to be and that's why I said everybody get to the point where you bear witness to the divine because as truly as you bear witness to the divine the divine will say back to you you are the fine Peter said it this way God has invited us into the God the divine nature of the God here you're invited in you're in the party just learn how to dance on the water not get wet that's all good stuff man good stuff bro um someone else someone mentioned this early on and I'm not really sure I pronounced his name maybe you're in chat you can let me know but it's a liqu each room Laki tream the kietryn but she asked about Christ's return this was at the very beginning of the podcast um if it's physical or spiritual metaphoric I'll give you my take really quick I believe that it's a I believe both I'll say both more more powerful for me now um that I believe that the the return of Christ has he come to take throne in our hearts that ki come back to everybody's looking for this physical return to their even getting the holy land ready they're rebuilding the temples and they're getting the utensils they're like ready to like to start like re-implementing animal sacrifices and stuff why you know I'm saying there's all this weird stuff waiting for the return of Messiah to do that for me he's come back and he lives in my heart you know what I'm saying is the second coming of Christ I take thrown in in your on your heart and so yeah that's the second coming for me I do believe that there will be some type of cataclysmic event where Christ the angels the Anunnaki whatever you want to call them they'll the Elohim or whatever gonna come back to set up a new kingdom here on earth and then so where the scripture talks about the the meek inheriting the earth I do believe that there will be something coming back am i looking forward in my generation to our watch disguise is it there's a hope or whatever of that but I don't know when that's gonna happen but or if it even will but I am my spirit bears witness with he's already come back to us to rule and reign in the hearts of men and and women on the earth I I connect with that I I think that it is a both an innocence especially if we look historically to the scriptures okay when Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven on what they record as a cloud because that's the best way that they can explain it but he was out of here and he was physically here and he was physically out and they said he's coming back again some way someday they thought it was within there's going to be within the next 70 years okay and they and of course we know because Paul starts saying you know y'all gonna get a job and come work it and everybody was just like it was going to be over or it's over I think that when you look at the scripture there it supports a both/and scenario if some doors we should live every day as if he is coming back to day then we should also invoke his presence in our hearts on the throne of our hearts that the kingdom of God is in the hearts of man that we should not look over here and look over there for some physical representation because just as the eagle is in the sky Dahl see you know all of that I think there is a support for both and that we have to live in a sense the circumspect realizing that we are that manifestation of the body of Christ on the earth that Christ is returned within us and within the way that we live and the way we build and do community and do life and just so happen if he despised I mean that's why I'm like Daniel man it's like okay I don't live this way but just so happens if he decides to physically come back I'm gonna be ready yeah and it doesn't matter if you don't believe it right like if you don't believe it you get left behind all of that this is if anything that makes space for I mean when I first gave my life to Christ I was that was up I mean that was part I didn't want to go to hell and I knew that Jesus I gave my life to Christ right in 83 82 ish like so at the 80s there was all of the blood moons and his Jesus coming there was a big deal now here's what century I'm back well now that's going back now my daughter gave her life to Christ and I mean so I she was raised you know when she was eight years old Jews as I love you know we know that whole sport when she got a deeper awakening it was through life and life happened in her life and writing on our twenties I know she was in her 20s she was looking at all the thing that was another red moon was coming that was by about four or five years ago remember that and all that and it was all you come back any time and and all of that the whole Left Behind series and on account stuff that's interesting in good fodder okay it's good it inspires you to live a worthy and holy life and I think all of that is good but do I put all of my hope in that and get to the funk where I'm looking and calling a day I mean I got caught up in there and then I kind of grew out of it and realized I don't know if he's coming back in the next three years and and but I'm gonna live as if he did and create an atmosphere then just in case physically he comes back great but he don't I have lived so much according to what I see in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews by faith I live by a life of faithfulness that like I like to say it this way in a good word picture I want my casket to look like this better that that I died and reaching for that new city that greater place I want like put me down under just like that cuz I wanna die like that reaching out for something greater I'm not gonna say he's here I'm not going to act like I'm waiting for it he's gonna come I'm reaching and I'm creating everything a racer feels like there's a generation even poorer right race because I got friends or like yeah he's coming back probably this year bro like he's probably I used to feel like that he's going down he's coming he's coming you know it's something beautiful you got to get ready people get ready and when I nailed it like now that I'm a father father of looking at my star see her go through in this this it was just cute watching her go through it because he's like wow I went through that same thing yeah my daughter's getting caught up on the conspiracy theories now you know those things and like she's getting introduced to that and all this weird stuff but I gotta mix and I went through it so I'm like okay that's healthy conspiracy theories are good let's don't get it stay away from all the you know crazy ology the healthy Christian Christian extremes this guilty stuff that's gonna help you be a better person more spiritual versus all the extreme Christian theologies which can hurt you and hurt others and burn bridges and things part of it all man so many cults and offshoots and stuff man I was just drawn to it all looking for truth you know what I'm saying and they claim to have the truth the Hebrew Israel it's like you grew out of it and I and grew even folks that are looking at you know looking at this and saying and y'all talking must you know mushrooms and all the devil is a liar at Butte you and you know guess what give me grapes cuz gosh sure enough did I will grow out of it Paul said it this way I think he said he said follow our example and if there's anything other than God you know that you need to know I'll show you yeah and so I think it's best to give people that sense of grace in that space and so if you know I got some friends who are on the left behind that's that's that train that's a cup of tea they are all neck up an idea well yeah drink that and then when you get tired of it oh yeah I show unto you a more perfect way that's better house I'm moral on the fact of now is like you know getting into the preterist stuff you know I'm saying and uh and I've had a couple of them on the show and and uh Branka Dawa I guess he's a partial preterist but um that understanding of knowing this is what I love about you everybody looking at this this is what I love about this dude is that every time I talk to you I always get something new tell me what were you try to see I mean you kind of you kind of hit into it a little bit because when you're talking about how Paul believed that uh you know this stuff was coming like in their generation because Jesus in Matthew 24 says hey this generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled you got ending here will not see death until everything I'm telling you is gonna come to pass so the preterist thing is uh understanding that those prophecies have already happened the partial is most of them and we're still waiting for a few and uh you know I'm saying the dead in Christ shall rise like for me that's kind of the preterist thing and for me it's like when Jesus when Jesus rose he wasn't by itself big didn't say you know they're gonna come back the dead are gonna rise and be come out of their graves like that happened like they like when Jesus rose you know on the third day with all power and authority from hell and took the keys you know from the grave and death was defeated the dead in Christ rose and they run to their you know family members house and he were preaching on the street corners these dead people came back zombies essentially and so for me like that's the fulfillment of that scripture you know I'm saying that Jesus said look all of this stuff's gonna happen and then you know the 70 AD the Wars of the the you know I'm saying the Wars of the Roman armies encircling Jerusalem and all of those you know you're gonna be tortured and when you see Jerusalem coming when you see that Day approaching run to the hills with the mountain they lied don't stay behind thinking that you're gonna be okay you know those people were in it talks about women and childbirth it being hard for them and people eating their children you know because they didn't have any food like all this crazy a pocket Oh historically yeah yeah yeah so then that's more of the you know the whole predator was staying of thinking that the majority if not all of it has been fulfilled you know so in in the way they have a way of whitewashing history and just changing times and dates and laws and even what year were in is debatable as well right now a lot of people believe that we just hit 2012 you know what I'm saying like this year so there's this a bunch of things with them with them changing stuff to even know what what's already happened and when you look at ancient history and you see all of the stuff that has happened these they talk about these rapture type stuff that's happen where people disappeared and UFOs came and hovered over cities and just crazy stuff that's happened man it just it opens your mind to say okay it's possible I don't have a figured out I don't know but um I tend to I tend to uh the majority of it has definitely from a biblical perspective and Jesus said that it would happen in that generation you know so I think I think a lot of it's already happened everybody wants to be the people of the book man and all these sects and all these cults that have been a part of they all claim to be the people of the book so there's a special blessing in it for them and it's I mean I've met people say why do you read in the Bible the Bible is not for you that book was not given unto you that book is one of the Hebrews for the Israelites only you know all these weird sex and stuff that have been a part of and um and everybody wants to feel special and significant and they find these different groups that kind of uh maybe even people who listen to this work you want to feel special and you know I'm saying significant and that you matter because you do but make sure you're not in something that's unhealthy or separatist and then most of those coach you'll find out a true coal there's gonna be a separatist code state leave your family behind stay away from those people I have the truth it's usually about one man a one-gallon first like hey don't listen to anybody else I have the truth you don't need anybody you know and so I've been a part of that stuff so I'm kind of as I move forward I'm trying to bring that you know making sure that I don't do that because I've been a part of that and I know those people and they have followings and they you know change the way people think and it gets really weird and in even small not even big cold-smoked holds your local church down the road that cold you know what I'm saying of hey we have the truths my pastor hears from God and over here do you hear from God no but my master he knows the Word of God and you know and there's this the the veneration of man and things like that just to be careful and wary of that stuff and be open and honest about those experiences man yeah I am one of the things that I do love about Richard Hoover is he talks about in his book breathing as a breathing underwater he talks about the different stages of life that we all go through and one of the early half of life what he calls the first half of life is really about creating these boundaries as creating this sense of being special this creative sense of being a significant individual and that's where of course you get that my daddy can beat up your daddy my God is bigger than your God and the we are special and I'm special I have the coat of many colors there's a special side of Who I am and that is true you know this because you're a parent you are special okay there's no question about it but yet when you have that kid it's about time for you to give up that I'm special I'm all that because now you start to pour that out on someone else I say the beginning of a podcast that a person that's been loved greatly you could tell because of the way that they end up others then you could tell you've been enough greatly a great parent is not gonna hold on to that I'm so special no they they give that up they let that go because they pour that into that child I'm so special because the second half of life is you let go of the arms so special on all this and everything I'm not bad I'm not dis and I'm not bad and that's not right that's not that's not we all go with it you begin out of that you begin to grow out of that and realize there's inclusive there's room there's greatness so if you look at a child look at a boy look at a father look at a grandfather there are different different levels in the way that they see life and the way that they look at life I'm getting ready within the next decade praise the Lord the latter part of the decade I hope my kids are in their early 20s they don't have kids yet but I'm gonna get ready to become a grandfather there's a whole different mindset the way I got a treat to be able to love those babies and it can't be I'm so special in fact I don't even have to as a grandparent I don't even have to say how special I am I get that special put upon me the way I love that child couldn't that be the same way with God God don't even have to tell us how specially is how he loves us so much the fact that I know that I'm wrong the no effect I've know I'm a mess and you still not me you know affection he's very special we realize that God is not the god I command you praise me she's gonna pray nothing else to y'all my nerves you know you made me sick hate you I mean love me that's what we've taught in the church Longman and I remember seeing that um that that skit with George Carlin did you ever watch that okay talking about religion you know he goes in on religion he goes and on the government really good stuff he he uses comedy to prove these really deep points which he was great at but he talked about God and he talked about Hell and how God you know demands your worship and demands your affection and I've made a way for you to be saved but you have to do it this way and if not you're gonna be destroyed and tormented forever and the lake of fire and gnashing of teeth then there's weeping and wailing but he loves you you know just the way that he did it is like is that you know what like as a he's right like they do this right you know I've shared some friends with a true seeker what happened to you man why'd you change all that video or you let George call and change you know it's like just to understand that you may start out in that level of fear but the fear is not being afraid of what God's gonna do to you the fear is and admiration is a fear of respect the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom the fear of the the Lord is to hate evil like all of these did that level of fear just kind of trends forms for you the closer you get to it and it is a level of respect and out of adoration you fear the government no I don't I don't fear man you do fear the government you feel the police no I don't okay well why would you guys riot and you guys are trying to go for a social political change why don't why do you tear up your neighbor's business why do you loot the little small nonprofit on the corner why y'all tearing up all this up versus going to the the capital you guys read fear you know that if you go there you're done you better better respect me you better fear me right yeah there's this fear um and it's a healthy fear don't do that you're gonna get in trouble if you do there is this healthy fear and healthy respect there for God for the universe for universal laws that if you break it that if you do these things you will suffer that hell you will suffer the repercussions you will suffer the Karma on this earth maybe in the next life there as well but if but you will suffer it here the int words Instant Karma that's the thing watching Instant Karma videos on YouTube of people doing stupid stuff and immediately it backfires in their face and they get hurt or they they have to suffer the repercussions of their actions and and and whatever you so you you you must reap and so it's this whole cycle of what that God is and with that reverence or respect this and what it looks like and how it comes back to you whatever you put out there man I think in a culmination of my awakenings right now I view God more as a granddaddy God and when I'm saying that I'm saying that in all due respect and love for what a grandfather is you know as a kid like I said my first coming in I thought you know my guy can beat up any other God and like no other God and I went through adolescent level of you know he hates all of this and all of this is just suck y'all evil and I hate evil and those that do evil and then to this level of having kids myself and realizing there is a need for regulation and the need or this but but a grandfather place of saying yeah but I can create room and grace or a person I never forget when my mom my wife and I when we we split up and I as I told a 24th year of marriage and my son hated me one of the hardest things in my life to know that my son at that time hated me and this is what I felt the Holy Spirit tell me he said give him room to hate you give him room let him hate you for a minute because in that hate he'll run all of that hate out it's not even a lot he doesn't know how what it is but it's almost like this temptation of how could he you know how can he do this I hate you know he didn't even want to say that but when I gave him room he realized exploring that ain't no I don't hate him I'm just hurt and I did that I realized what the fall is about what sinning is about because in our sin it's like God gives us room you little room oh don't hate me you'll come to the end of it and you realize it you don't even want it now what's hell is for those that stay in that and try to live how can you remit how can you live with no I'm going back to my old widens roots now okay why does they get a song saying how can you live without the seal in the rain how can you live without how can you live without Christ Christ is life how can you do life with things that only amount to death eventually you grow out of that death and just say you know what I'm long enough now needed one of the best things for me and like I said the whole meditation is when I started to settle myself and call myself I saw a lot of my own pain a lot of the things that were and hopefully this may help somebody out there the things that were breaking me and my wife apart where things get this true serie with things that I honestly hated about myself that I saw in her yeah and Ben and I couldn't reconcile when I started to be still and meditating and getting steel before God I started to actually turn my face to those things that I hated about myself and be gentle enough with myself to understand and forgive myself and then pull myself to myself as I was weird just track me and fall back in love with myself and when I did that it was no it was no chance of not falling back in love with my wife yeah that's a whole nother podcast man we it was no question we connected and got back together and it's been an ongoing practice I don't wanna let meditation go because we had some rocky roads I'm trying to figure out each other now to come back together but we figured it out and I slap crazy love in my 50s as I turn 50 I'm in my 50s just as in love with her as I was in my 20s and that happens through those aha moments there is a guy that's awesome you fade out man a story about how to change your life is but just seeing like my son loves me in Essen or not and it's a real story but it's an analogy about how we you know we view God at times or have you know and but you know some people stay there man that that always blows my mind how some people can stay at rock-bottom you know I hit rock bottom I didn't stay there long there's people whose years staying at rock bottom a because they don't know maybe they haven't heard the gospel maybe they haven't seen it maybe they've heard it and haven't seen it that's a big thing for me we've heard it turn on in any channel you wanted you know that's like several channels that the gospel 24/7 so it's done have they haven't heard the gospel is they haven't seen the gospel it's a big one let's see it let's live it out there with the people what is your name type deal um but understanding that you're talking about how she remind of reminded you of insecurities and things that you didn't like about yourself I really believe that that's everyone that we come in contact with who trigger us who remind us or people who you know act out a certain type of way with us we represent something in that person's life that they don't like about themselves right you know whether it's the liberty and I've do I I represent something to different people like who they just like everybody's gonna tell you something different I represent a really good rapper I represent spirituality I represent someone who's falling away from the from the church I represent someone who does mushroom-like it's just different things for different people and they there's liberties that I have that they don't have different names to different people but you're all the same of course yes somebody asks me somebody asked me the other day there's like are you a man of God and it depends you know I thought try to be said no angels trying to be he's all you aren't so it just depends on who you ask you tell somebody I'm a man of God they're gonna laugh at you you know what I'm saying because of the experience is because of how open I am or whatever the case is you represent different things to different people and when people lash out at you it's because you struck a nerve with them you remind them of something that they don't like about themselves whether you have too much grace or whether you know they have to work to keep their salvation you rest in your salvation yes they're working to keep it every day and I had to check my closest friends man if I make it to the King there was just thing people if I make it in bro if I make it to the king that looks like what do you mean if Bobby wants to know the hope of your salvage you're supposed to know you know if if what there's no confidence in it if and a mania or I hope you have to know there's nothing and so you gotta rest in that that the man that it that it is grace lest any man should boast there's nothing you did to earn it so there's nothing you can do to lose it mmm its grace unmerited favor from God man and and that grace empowers us to move into every area of our lives and no matter where God calls you to Kabbalistic understanding to studying the breath and breath work to study in Trent state to studying UFOs or aliens or angel angel ology demonology whatever it is that God has called you to you feel a tug from that direction approach it with grace and peace and no fear man whatever it is it's it's the grace and it's the love and what the Bible says is that it's the love that fuels the faith that the love is actually what fuels you to actually do all of that so grace love peace joy if there'd be anything true if there be anything noble if there be anything of good report think upon these things and let that let that carry you and be your ambition don't let money be your ambition don't let fame or renown be your ambition but if you're doing what you're supposed to do if you're burning bright and you're shining for God that stuff comes with the territory and you have to make sure you give that glory and honor back to the father who gives all things who the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and he owns everything so why would you try to act like you created something or that or that you had a like a great idea to be able to manifest anything everything always goes back to the father and and that that's what it's about at the end of the day it is it's grace that's the grace man yes well man I I applaud your calling man I applaud your ability to hold on to especially from my what I am have infinity four and that's the scripture and the church and love in the church and I honestly I openly people know I have a love-hate relationship with the church love it I want to play this clip right quick I don't know if you've seen this meme yet and you you won't be able to hear it on the audio I'm going to play I'm gonna unplug yesterday you know I'm gonna show this to just for the people watching let's see another see i see i got a certain function here that will show my internet okay here we are i'm gonna play this you'll be able to hear it but this is a little boy in church for those of you listening on the podcast end right here this this is a little boy great men of God and women of God I think it was Francis of Assisi he said this he said the church or but she's also my mother Wow and I think that that's real church just listen to it go find it and listen to it again cuz it wasn't the background oh that's how you feel that's just wrong he did his best I felt I had to be honest I felt that way the first time I went to a black church and I think it may have been Catholic I don't know but we stayed in church like six hours and I'm like when are we leaving they stayed in church like all day I'm like man I'm tired of this Turks I was a little kid just like if they woulda gave me the mic I would have said the same thing old black Baptist Church and a funeral and and seeing and recognizing you call the suit suits in Kris synchrony crutch synchrony to sync to sync up yeah yes seeing the ritual and the pomp and circumstance that that it was all going in just to say this person is deceased this person is dead but it was a lot of ritual I pumped success and now through my travels of being with Native Americans being with Europeans being with Southland Southern Americans all of us we all have ritual to give credence to give acknowledgement to what we don't to the afterlife to the divine to that which is greater than us because we know that which is greater than us as in us and we all have to find our way to do that and some of the ways that we do it we have to get we get stuck in this old way and it's just because it's always been done like that until there's a great mind of genius that comes along and just say and we are tired of this I started I started seeing that man and um because I was like you know this you know I was getting into the the political stuff and the revolutionary stuff while I was still doing gospel music so it began to just kind of seep out a little bit or I would do a song I did a song called this revolution and ossama ha you know it was political stuffing in Christian rising up against the church structure and the prosperity gospel and I kind all kind of got into my music right but um I would see I would see the look on people's faces who-who got it like I knew that I was talking about something that didn't wasn't discussed you know and a lot of churches and stuff and and I would see the look on people's faces to know that wow they were just waiting for someone to articulate what they've been experiencing as well and and so I started seeing that but then I started being asked not to do those songs or not asked to come back or you know I've always been like a thorn in a spine to the religious community since day one like uh you know it's just it's been it's been crazy man just that we talk about demons too much or you know this or that or whatever you just always something so now for me to be here I remember there was at one point where they got back to me like people didn't want me to come speak at their church good they were trying to say okay who we need a gospel rapper for the for the New Year event who we gonna get and like get true seeker know he reads out of the King James Bible we know he's gonna it was like this little weird Continuum's that people have with you man that you find out you like what is that even I have to do with the price of rice in China well you know man that's why I say keep on doing what you're doing because I was it jay-z in his song faith of black where he said you know maybe you'll love me when I'm gone maybe your love me when I'm out what's beautiful now is the fact that you're documenting what you're saying what you believe and it needs to be documented and said I definitely can relate to that man we be back in the 90s we did a song called racism and we just dealt with the issue that you know in the church there is the most segregated time of the day and that was in the early 90s late 80s where a lot of Christian rap they didn't want to touch on that in situation so we we did that we put Farrakhan on one of our albums of Christian album we put Farrakhan because what he was saying was true yeah we could it did not and there was nobody at that time that we knew in the Christian world that was given word that was art circulating that particular issue that was real so we said well we might as well use him that to me in my sense I think that's probably a little bit why we're a hip-hop is and that's why I think you're so important right now because in with you being hip-hop you understand you know the whole postmodern set it's like what hip-hop does it takes the best of you know four or five different eras and historical ideas and it pulls it all together into this amalgamation boat this is what I want to articulate and it needs to be said and heard and so I'm glad that you did you know stuff on the the chakras and rhymes but I'm look you know what I don't think I'm the only one I'm looking for people to rhyme about chakras I'm looking for people to put great hip-hop flow B swag all of that to a higher level of thinking and truth I'm tired of us just like talk about I'm tired is Church I'm tired yeah listen each other down I'm tired of us just always talking about and hos and that admit I yeah there is a side to every woman that is like that but there is a later to every woman that's a queen that's majestic that's great it needs to be praised and until I get out of the and I'm no I'm gonna offend some people right now but I'm just saying and so I get out of the mentality all I'll see is and hoes it's a king that only conceal clean and it's a king they only could deserve and to speak to a queen man cause a queen to come and stay with a king Queens don't stay with me yeah yeah ain't man so I I'm looking for hip-hop to grow up yeah are I did an essay and I called it it was backwards back no how am i dating myself again but but back when I came out with hip hop is dead I thought it was profound and I did an essay and I said hip hop is not dead it's just getting old and what my point was that the challenge of hip hop now is to grow older and mature but we keep reverting back and it's one of the most terrible things if we open our eyes and look at ourselves we'll realize it's really really stupid for somebody 30 40 years old to start talking about like adolescent decisions in life you're 30 40 years old you should be talking about houses and raising kids and so I love it when I see a sloop I see a jay-z I see a you know different rappers kind of mature and grow with their process I just love to see it happen even more on those that attend and those that subscribe to spiritual ideas why don't we get beyond like what Paul's or the writer of Hebrews said that is just basic tenants of the faith of baptism and of resurrection from the dead let's go beyond that let's talk about life and how spiritual life integrates with regular life and all of that let's go there and do your doing that so keep doing that we need to hear more about enlightenment and chakras and growth and and and in meditation practice I look I got your meditation piece pearl I was dope salute it was awesome and key that we need more of that my goal what I want to do as an elder state with statesmen and hip-hop now is I want to be someone that continually brings the conversation how do we grow hip-hopper how do we bring the conversation of higher if it's gonna be the greatness that it was designed to be then we got a rap about higher things we got a rap about higher ideas so we can bring everybody the higher ideas we started off we didn't realize that we was on the corner just talking about you know I got a house I got a pool that's off the wall I got more closing Mahalo Donnelly and now guess what 20 30 years later you got rappers who's got that they were speaking in back then and they didn't have any of it but they spoken into existence what can we speak into existence if we start rhyming and rapping the house it's working a man yes it's working do it I'm not the only one there's there's there's a lot of them out there there you gotta be careful to some of them I mean some of them I mean just like the well you know there's a lot of spiritual rappers who in many cases are better than I am stylistically and have deeper esoteric knowledge that they put into their music but they don't live it man you could you met them on the Block they just wanted to do so on the block like they you can hear it you can taste it you hear it in the food if it's all about just about going back to battles and I can back and beat any other rap yeah you hear that I listen I listen to a spiritual song the drop in knowledge about you don't know the Emerald tablets and stuff and it just don't myself dinnertime are killing people and cutting suckers heads off and pulling knowledge as I oh man you've missed the point you've missed it totally missed it but no it is working man there is a there's a new standard there's a new plum line just as that you know the power of music the power of spoken word as the the negative gangsta rap you put that music on it's a vibration to it it makes you feel a certain type of way the same thing with my music and many other people are you know but um it's changing people's lives and taking them to different levels spiritually by listening to the music and listening to the podcast I mean it's people and that was a great marriage as well the music and the podcast because there's people who listen to the podcast who have no idea that I do music and then there's people who listen to the music who are like oh you do a podcast and you explain the music in the podcast sure let's do it but what is doing man is just insane it's insane I think it's brilliantly count all all in itself and I'm just happy to be a conduit of that that energy and peace you know I'm saying let's keep in touch brokers on you know we're I love I love to hear and thank you for reaching out to me and we know we talk off the air a lot and just keep the faith man keep digging deeper man let me hear those revelations and stuff that you get man all things work together really do right at the end of the day everything we're four men with low indeed the three it's continually pulling us all man so I'm not giving up I'm not walking away from that Paul sated with her sight he said if we're not faithful he's faithful to himself he won't deny himself so God is faithful to himself and then God being faithful to himself I mean he's gonna get me further down the road so yeah that which I've committed to him he's able to keep man so thank you for that I will I will keep on pursuing and keep on going is um do you have any links that you want to share our people can follow you work or maybe file your file website is friend Lynch org one of the pieces that I've done that I really wanted I'm stepping back into as I did a piece that's called the script and what I basically did was took the entire book of John and translated it verse by verse into rhythm and rhyme into rap I did some includes the ass T's I have that on Ecclesiastes 3 on on friendly org as well but the book of John is just my whole goal was to take the essence the treasure of the scripture that I absolutely loved the scripture and I absolutely love hip-hop and so I wanted to combine the two and so as I started working on combined in the tube I kind of almost ruined the translate a a a hip-hop era phrase of what the scriptures say not my commentary on the scripture which a lot of rappers do you know I don't know so I'm not but I was like what about just straight scripture solo at it so rhyming sacred writings has become a thing of my rhyme enslavers sacred writings though not a commentary on it but just the actual flow and rhyme of it so for example those that are familiar with John one in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God where was God I I did a translation of it that goes and I'll do a little bit 1 through 14 it says in the beginning was the word the manifest logic of God heard and blurred shining from the inner sanctum of the 3rd unbroken catastrophic or quotes spoken from the essence of eternities original notion all things were made by his motion and without him was no thing part of being old man ain't grossed him and him was life and that life was the light of men shining in the dark for darkness didn't comprehend there was a man whose famous John he was the god said sent to point men to the light their own sight they might enter johner stuff was not the light just Senta represents the true Illuminati that's kissed the face of everybody in this world coming to going into knowing he was in this world alive and growing and though he made it all they slept on them and kept on going he even came to his chosen and his own can't close them out and just him like he wasn't open but to as many as her get wide open to believe that he was just we told him to them he spoke in the power to become God's child who was born God's style a full denial of any human medium no flesh of blood and trade brain-stone conceiving them strictly God born and the word became flesh and manifest that I missed and we'd be held in them as best astounding not kind of fit and we knew that God had come down my father like son now truth from beginning to end good from the inside out and so I just went verse by verse and just put it into rhyme and to flow and Manny came out so beautiful and so one of the things that's like my big dream my big dream my upcoming thing that I want to do is I want to train others with their hip-hop flow whatever era have you heard my from flow I'm locked in the era I ain't even trying to change I ain't trying to are you trying to all laugh if you had I mean that's a that's awesome and you spent definitely a couple weeks ago but dude that's awesome and like do you have a way to record I don't I don't right now I'm in San Diego I just moved San Diego to do this with Rachel's challenge I need to get out cuz I want to get back in the booth I love the booth and and I want to do it myself but I also want to get like a group of others that just take sacred texts and and and just just take hip-hop and sacred and just marry the suit yeah did you ever did you ever check out LCL be the law said oh yes cuz like what you're doing reminds me of Richard raw man when he would say he would he would break down shoot the relationship it was uh Isis and Osiris or whatever and and he'd break down the story and he'd tell her he the were the the amasi got about a Anunnaki and it's well the Sumerian tablets and stuff and all everything he's breaking it down and he's telling the story just the way you did and I love that I see that in you as well so we got to get on the track together man I can send you something man good stuff man I'm telling you the world needs this dog so please keep doing what you're doing I'm all in man you know I'm in just holla at you yeah okay find a way to record if you need to go to a studio you know I'm saying whatever I'm sure we have people over there who in this so in it but it's so easy to get the stuff to record all you need is a mic and a little small program and you're good in a computer yeah do it for many we use some of the most ancient you know dinosaur computers to start China make no record with the computer the old computer mics to that we're like you know like this big and like trying to record no so it could be done man but yeah we'll do something in the future man hey bro thanks for coming on I really enjoyed this conversation open it up you sharing your thank you so much I'm definitely continuing to watch and listen and be a part of a great movement that I think you're doing hey man thank you all I love the support especially when it comes from brothers in Christ to who can see see what's happening you did me I'm saying they know what's up they know the mission behind behind everything so I appreciate you man thank you so much our brother Shalom Shalom peace peace all right all right Fred Lynch ladies and gentlemen good brother man men have been building for a couple weeks I'm gonna I'm gonna try to play this little clip from this song from else he'll be right quick let's see I mean move we're killing it and they're probably gonna flag my video but come on man else will be always paying homage man it reminds me a lot of the storytelling skills of Richard rah being able to tell the stories from this sacred text so really cool stuff enjoyed this interview um read some of these comments here who is a Kris garner said nearly three hours while not as well man I might as well I might as well talk for another 12 minutes go and hit that three hour mark that's what I told him you know you want to know how long we could do I said we do an hour but it's dependent I knew we were gonna do more an hours the fact is if I don't like you or like the conversation I can say okay we're at the end of the show I really like the longer conversations I know you guys do too but um they're few and far between now for some reason you just kind of run out of stuff to talk about with people but uh those people who you resonate with man you can three hours ain't nothing really but I want to say thank you to Christy Christy folks for the donation thank you for that three and thirty three angels speak to me Thank You Christy folks three and thirty three angels speak to me I want to talk about that a little bit too that's from the new song synchronicity and when we were live last night people were asking about um the lyrics they were saying somebody got in and he was like uh I can't think of his name right off but he was the hey man why do you say sold my soul to light why do you say I said I've never said so my soul to light what's what are you talking about he said no the lyric says sold my soul to light I'm like you got to tell me the song man I know I've never out of you know 200 plus songs I don't know I've never said sold my soul to light he said well you should have said sold my soul to Christ so they're like yeah I think you did say I'm like what's all y'all talking about so they said it was from synchronicity three and thirty three and just speak to me gazing at the sky spirit taking flights um but I said um I said I can't think of exactly but I said so my soul delights gazing at the sky so my soul delights right UFO UFOs at night so my soul delights so my soul delights and like I knew he wouldn't talk about selling his soul no so this is straighten that up that misheard lyrics and I'll tell you what there's a bunch of misheard lyrics a bunch of them some people think I've I say the n-word or curse in my music or something because they hear something like a man why don't you say it in words like never said n-word in a song were you talking about and it'll be a lyric where I'm speaking fast and maybe have my subs and draw or whatever and they just they hear other lyrics and I'll see people like sharing a video and then typing the lyrics out and they're so different but I think that's cool I like to hear I like to hear when people have that you know their their take on what they hear and what it means to them because I guess at the end of the day that's what it that's what it all comes down to what it means but as I share the lyrics you know deeper revelation on what I was really talking about that's really cool I remember looking up lyrics to a KB song right KB's the Christian rapper raps with Lecrae he's got this song are called um it's called like break it down or something like that break it down I think and um tear it down and he's got a lyric in there where he thought we were we mentioned apologetics and people who are apologist speaking of that and one of the best ones that I know and I'd like to listen to is a guy named by the name of Ravi Zechariah and uh Ravi Zechariah which is spelled with that is Zacharias really and um he's really good so KB is really big into theology and apologetics and all that stuff so anyway in his song KB says a professor talking down saying shoot how you deny the truth he's truce now I got a Ravi Zechariah you and he's talking about handle you like Ravi Zacharias would handle someone breaking down biblical theology from a biblical apologist standpoint ravi zacharias it's like ramen scheme neither you don't hear it every day salute to that I loved it now I got a Ravi Zacharias you and it's so funny that that sounds kind of foreign what what is a Ravi Zachariah if you didn't know who or what Ravi Zacharias was and if you heard that and I remember looking up the lyrics to that song some time ago and somebody else had posted the lyrics on like lyrics calm or something and they said and they typed the lyrics out and it says shoot professor talking down how you deny the truth truth now I got a rhyme in Zechariah too and that was the lyric that they typed out I'm like Robin said it was just so funny I told him I told KB that at a concert asked him if he's seen it but I thought that was really cool but the misheard lyrics are funny some people you know but if you if it's a term like that you've never heard before you know it's gonna you don't know how to interpret it you know what I'm saying Thank You Astrid for the donation as well for the super chat thank you so much 777 you're awesome and thank you for for the album grinning face for the album I never put out an album called grinning face she typed a smiley face in it it read it out loud thank you so much for the donation that means a lot and thank you um but yeah I wanted to kind of touch on that synchronicity thing yeah to everybody in the chat I've been seeing you guys talk about it and all the dislikes on the video before they even go live so like I'll post the videos and so it's like a reminder so you guys can see every Tuesday and Thursday I go live and I've filled up with uh with guests until the end of February right now every Tuesday and Thursday um but people you can see that and you can actually like or click remind or even dislike even before the comes out and it was like six or seven dislikes on today's video and even other videos on before we even go live so less people who are just getting on here just disliking all of my my videos to to some sometimes it's more dislikes than likes now and it's just something that's happened within the last week week or two all of my videos are just getting all these crazy dislikes and I'm pretty sure is this is a couple people or someone who has multiple accounts or whatever the case is and you know people making making that known so uh I don't know maybe I'm a disabled the like feature once you get to a certain level you know it kind of comes with the territory you got the trolls you have the people who are gonna do that I get little sly way comments and stuff you know people making fun of you people taking jabs or whatever and I was talking to UM to Fred before we went live I like to uh I liked to silence the trolls you know what I'm saying I like to to mute them you know make it where they can't come on your platform something that you've worked hard to build at and just feel like they they have the right to be there and just kind of walk in and do what they want to do whether it's little sly comments but I get I get I get a handful of them you know but it comes with the territory I know there's a lot of channels to go live and they've just they've just didn't disabled that that that feature altogether because they'll go like Project Camelot all those big channels man as soon as they go live forty fifty dislikes off the back just because but it's something it's something that the fact that these people are watching like I've got your attention I'm you you're thinking about me you've can't you're consciously coming to this channel to do that so uh yeah Gio says don't feed the trolls yeah well you know we're talking about them so well say um what is it um it's one one person two people three people whoever seven people at which I doubt but um you know they feel like it's their Christian duty or whatever to come in and just like the video so point point taken I'm probably just gonna disable that so they can't do it so I don't know anyway um going back and forth he was talking about how like on the podcast he said it's really cool to be able to see me kind of document all of the all of these experiences or like just kind of uh try to articulate the beliefs and stuff and just have these conversations that are documented in podcast form now it's really cool right but people have seen me go back and forth right if you know my whole story and if funny thing is there's so many new people that not everybody knows like like when that whole coming out of the Christianity as far as being a part of the Christian Church or whatever the cases that was like a really really really hard experience for me I'm I'm open and honest about it and uh and then so there has been times where I've done videos and and I've promoted things and then I've denounced denounce the same thing the next week like that it was it was insane man it was really one of the hardest experiences of my life and I've always been on social media I've always created art of always I've been doing podcasts like 20 2011 man 2010 so we've been talking about this and so changing beliefs theologies experiences religion whatever the case is I've been open I've been an open book so people have been able to see that I've been you know I've been telling my story for years man and so people have got to see that process and the good thing is I people have learned from that good and bad like people I've got friends who have seen like how I was treated from like the Christian Church perspective that they said you know what and people like hey man I thought you used to do ministry talking to my friends and they're like I don't want nothing to do with that I seen which I'll did the true seeker I know what y'all gonna do to me like I don't want nothing to do with that that smiling in your face talking behind your back all of this weird gossip stuff that goes on if you don't walk the line if you don't you know do with what they require of you and stuff so people have seen that from day one enough and like I said I've seen you know maybe even double-minded on some things I had some friends that say okay you you know I've done videos from talking about the Kundalini researching that and talking about how it's all one then I've done interviews asking people to forgive me for even comparing the two that they're not the same all of this stuff it's in this growth process it's like what Kris garner saying it's at it's all about the growth and that it is okay to explore and it is okay to not have everything figured out and that's the problem with a lot of people they feel like they have to have the answer or the truth on every subject or even if they don't know what they'll make it up that's a big thing to write but just be open and honest about your own experiences man and every level that you're in and you know life is a walking contradiction man we're learning man we're ever growing trying to figure this stuff out but I think that the more that we're open and honest man and don't try to hide it the Bible says to be in the light as he is in the light and there is no darkness in the light there's nothing that you have to hide I'm not hiding nothing so they can't there's no ulterior motives there is no there's no funny business there is no selling your soul to like whatever like there is like I'm open and honest about everything you know and I think that that's that's how we should be you know and ready to call call BS when it needs to be called and you know that's what we're doing here so anyway I've touched on that little bit of stuff again the you know my chakras album which is entitled colors is done it's based off of each song is influenced by that chakra by chakra just understanding that each one of those seven chakras represents something in our lives that were going through whether it's for relationships whether it's arm our intuition whether it's our minds eye of dealing with third eye and dreams and visions and aspirations or the crown like the heart the desires of your heart the pursuits like dealing with that so I've done the album it's called colors it's done on patreon it'll be out on the first for the general public to consume but I also followed that up with a chakra meditation so I have a meditation that I did where going through taking you in controlling your breathing tapping into the higher realms and then focusing your intention on each chakra cleansing it in speaking blessings to that each chakra representing those things about your life going up each one and lumen ating all the way up to the third eye then to the crown and just as you're in that state of euphoria and bliss focusing on the on your breathing and just speaking blessings and almost praying over you as well so if you want to check that out that's a whole experience as well I got two of them now that's recorded I'm probably gonna have a lot more here soon but um I want to make sure that I'm continuing to plug even the first one manda uh I really I really worked hard on that Dion that the throne room meditation that is a is a is a journey through the ancient ancient temple the tabernacle of Moses and into the holy place of God and into the most holy place the Holy of Holies in there it's just a whole encounter crystalline said as the best meditations he's ever heard taking you on this journey I hired voice actors to uh to do different parts in it and stuff too so if you haven't heard that make sure you check that out and so there's gonna be more coming so anyway with that being said I'm gonna say peace and Shalom thank you guys for hanging out with me for three hours thank you guys for listening to

sometimes but I trying to I'm trying to have to read it as much during the podcast even though I do when I'm trying not to incorporate them cuz it'll throw you off when I'm supposed to be like paying attention to the the guest website 2026 that the Holy of Holies is no longer in the King James Version maybe this is some of the Bible mendala effect let's see pull up my Bible program I'm gonna look it up myself to find out see hmm maybe right dang that words not even showing up crazy that was one thing too about doing my research and stuff is I would like read all of these versions and I would miss quote scriptures because it would say different things and with doing your research and you want to quote the Bible you want to quote verses but they all say something different yeah it doesn't look like it's showing up in the in the King James Version or the ESV you know what I know what it is it's called um the KJV says it's called the most holy place in the KJV I'm gonna look that up and if it's called the most holy place it's the Holy of Holies it's the most the top of the holy place probably called other names too but yeah there's just things cuz we have read different versions and stuff like that and we kind of get stuff cross-referenced and stuff um turquoise Moon says we all have the same goal we just have different paths to find it John Santiago says do it guys worth it all caps on the meditation thank you for the support Santiago you're the man brother waiting on my t-shirt I'm a when you send me that t-shirt I'm gonna wear it during the podcast promote your podcast bro Christian says much love much blessings true seeker I will be subscribed once I get out this pit hole first amen Jesus Christ Superstar says I have a question for you you want to see the truth you have to have an open mind and leave religion out of it I know I am a Astro traveler website also says neither is Denarius or Passover Easter's and King James V KJV yeah yeah that's one of the things I found out early on when I was there was a period of time where we came out of we got into Messianic Judaism and we quit doing the pagan holidays we quit doing Christmas and Easter and Halloween and Thanksgiving we came out of that come out of her my people so that you will not be a particular of her sins we came out of the ways of the world and so we started doing the the Jewish feast and festivals and we did Passover and we did all the feasts and trumpets and it kept the Sabbath and stuff like that you know and um during the studies you find out that the word Passover says Easter in the KJV that lets you know that um but the Bible is not the inerrant Word of God the KJV says that they celebrate that they partook of Easter Easter is it says it's the word Pesach pacer which is Passover it's not the same thing Easter is not Passover that's the days where the pagans could come together and the Christians and partake of the same similar festivities during the same time and so that yeah the word is worse Easter there if the what if the if the Bible is the inerrant Word of God which version it's not KJV KJV says Easter and says the whole talks about you you know a lot of other stuff but um the inerrant Word of God is Jesus the Word made flesh love became flesh that's the inerrant Word of God it's not the written word at all by any means you know but there's enough truth in it preserved for you to dig and do your research to lead you so magical is still a magical book Astra says wait what is the KJV still being updated I thought it was static and then there was an in kg in kg v and that's that yeah that there's a there's a new king james version as well in KJV the new king james which they say take only takes out the design that thou and in diamond which are in there for a reason because they all mean different things these I'd thou and dine are not just different ways of saying the same thing they all mean different things which is a whole deep study in and of itself but um they change most of that as well talk or moon says loves that she loves this the Solstice is a ish star and Easter yeah that's where they say the name uh is star Easter comes from is from a star which was the goddess of the moon with fertility rites and then you have she supposedly came down I believe was from the moon in an egg in an egg right she came down from the moon inside of an egg and then on Easter you go collect Easter eggs that come from bunnies bunnies don't lay eggs you know all this stuff when it comes into that um what is this I see and I'll show you guys it so so the so the goddess is star you know comes down in and in an egg I'm gonna show this video for those of you guys watching on YouTube but this is uh this is uh I don't know why showing me so small like that it's kind of weird I think I changed the other day okay anyway so the video that's playing this Lady Gaga coming to like one of the awards ceremony as his star in her egg she's being carried and delivered in an Easter egg funny funny thing too that the egg is synonymous with that being hidden something that is hidden that will be revealed later in video games and in movies they have a lot of hidden easter eggs as what they call it easter eggs and in the movies and stuff and video games give an homage to uh other movies or other games that came before but it's a pretty interesting higher with her people being brought and it's like just creating a ritual right being brought in an easter egg so good stuff if there's any other comments here before I jump off I thought it was cool too cuz right when somebody commented um forgot who it was but somebody commented about the Native Americans you know people calling it the UH the Native American savages but then it was the savages who came and took their customs and destroyed it and made them forget their own language and cut their hair all kinds of silly things to try to convert the savages but she said that the people who came and did that whether the true savages and just as soon as she posted that he was he started speaking about American spirituality like right when I seen that comment I thought that was pretty cool dose synchronicity so anyway thank you guys for hanging out we're doing a school of the Mystics tonight every Thursday night 7 p.m. central if you'd like to join us become a patron even
