too long my guest today david strickle david welcome to the truthseeker podcast my friend how are you very good thank you for having me man it's uh good to share this sacred space with you bro um been seeing uh i guess it's a play on words been seeing your stream you know your live stream uh for years now and uh and it always sticks out to me because as i'm scrolling facebook or scrolling youtube i see you pop up see your videos and the the sacred geometry and the symbols that you have behind you uh they always stick out to me and i i stop in and i listen and i've definitely seen your stream and then we connected uh on um debbie garcia's uh anniversary show that she did um on the uh uh spirituality gone wild connected with you there sent you an invite here we are man i've been seeing you for some years you've been putting in work how are you doing good good just uh i i love being on these shows and just kind of interacting with new people and i have to say i am very very grateful that i can just pop on and just be and not do all the all the prep work that i usually have to do to be on the show i kind of like it it's i the thing i love about spirituality going wild is i call it the wild west of spirituality it's just everything and everyone and all these different belief systems coming in and the common thread is that everybody can kind of set their ego aside and say okay i have my beliefs and they work for me and you have your beliefs and they work for you and here we are sort of finding common ground in these teachings rather than this dogmatic uh you know train of thought that that exists in spirituality as much as religion yeah that's what i love about spirituality going well yeah for sure and it's just about being lighthearted and um and that's what we do here right no know that everybody has a piece of the puzzle to bring to the table and it works for me because i used to be dogmatic i used to be i come from a really strict religious background and street preacher you know evangelical um evangelist you know youth minister and and all that stuff and we got pretty hardcore with it so for me to to be on that extreme to come to this other extreme of love and light and acceptance and radical forgiveness and radical grace you know what i'm saying for everybody um there's a plumb line and it kind of goes right there in the middle somewhere and that's where the truth lies so just being open and honest about that i love it i love learning from other people and just really coming together saying hey man what's working for you like what like what wasn't working right let's talk about that and then now what's working and i talk to you and i can talk to debbie and hundreds of people now over the years and it's like wow i'm gonna get the best of all of these worlds like i think that that's what we're doing i'm taking the best out of christianity you can have the bad stuff we'll take the best out of mysticism we'll take the best out of this the bet and we put it together and it's who we are man so take the stuff that works forget the stuff that don't work yeah yeah well we see a common thread in all of these things and you kind of get that it all started in universal law and then universal law as applied to humanity we have to sort of construct some human tools to to utilize universal law in our physical realm and those tools i think to an extent serve a a positive purpose for everyone and then it you know turns into commerce and it gets a little corrupted sometimes and then it can go off in these different directions but i think at the end of the day we all understand that we're all eternal beings that source or god or however you want to label that is this super positive loving creative energy that flows through all of us and that's the common thread and then what pulls us down into negative territory is when we allow fear to creep in so for me abundance means not just money and material things and things like that i use the term abundance very broadly abundance is is whatever you want in this lifetime yeah if you want more love if you want better health if you want an improved body if you want more experiences if you want more friends all of that stuff is abundance a big broad tint of abundance and the way that we receive abundance in our lives really is trusting trusting the universal process of creation and you can't trust if you're also in fear so eradicating fear from your life as much as possible and we were kind of talking about fearlessness uh which is one of my favorite topics because that's something that we're all it's sort of like we're on this lifelong journey of detuning the high the the the high level of the fear vibration that we're taught in this world we are very very controlled by fear and the more we detune fear in our lives the more our trust just automatically raises and when you really trust the universe to take care of you will yeah that abundance is big man um you said a mouthful so many questions if we can just get out of that it's funny you talk about like not knowing what we're going to speak about and just kind of go in with it but in that i've got so many points and questions for you like uh you know just the whole abundance and you know the abundance in your health and stuff like that and i've seen the transformation that you made you know i've seen the picture a picture of you at 41 and a picture of you at 51 and it was like night and day like there had to be some type of transformation or this inner knowing of who you are your life is in your hands and those kind of things but you went through a i'm sure that was a i'm sure the the the physical uh manifestation we've seen of that as you know i'm saying taking care of your body your tempo the weight loss the working out that kind of stuff was a reflection of the inner work that was going on oh sure is that correct i i didn't have a i was uh significantly overweight and weight is something that i up and down struggle with it's just my vibration and it is but the the you know being 100 pounds overweight i was 300 pounds at 41. and i i wasn't loving myself and that's really what it boiled down to i everything that happened in my life in my childhood and my mother disowning me and all of that crap i internalized all of that and believed that story and i i hit 41 and i realized that wow because i've understood law of attraction my whole life this this this thing that i now call the stream i used to just call my knowing and i remember prior to age six understanding law of attraction and i remember at age 14 in 1982 describing the law of attraction and great i didn't know what it was called in fact i thought i invented it at 14 i thought it was my cool little invention that i could you know believe something and have it have it come to be and it was working very well for me but i didn't have any guidance in that area and i utilized that for the next what 26 25 years to focus on manifesting material things because i grew up poor and my uh my idea of happiness and joy in life was that hey i i'm living without all of these cool things as a kid that i see people around me having and enjoying you know trips to disney new cars as teenagers nice clothes that aren't hand-me-downs being able to eat whatever i want even a trip to mcdonald's was a luxury in our family so to me money and material things equaled happiness and i i ran with that for a good 20 plus years in my adult life and i manifested money and things and at 40 41 that that 41 year old picture i was in my million dollar plus home and i had a mercedes and a porsche in the garage and you know all the nicest things that you can imagine having as far as material stuff and i got to that place where i realized that wow i've got all the [Â __Â ] that i thought i was supposed to have to be happy and i'm not happy i'm in a bad relationship i don't like my body i don't like i'm making a lot of money but i'm in a job that i really hate i really stuck myself in that corporate it's funny because i didn't even have an education i was dyslexic i didn't really get past the 10th grade and i educated myself but i ended up in a very high level corporate position because for some reason even though i understood i could manifest anything that i wanted i stuck myself in the space of the key to success was to have this big title it's like i was trying to prove to the world that i could be a vice president of a fortune 500 company even though i didn't do well in school and i did i hated what i was doing so i didn't like my job i didn't like my body i didn't like my relationship i did i was physically in bad shape with all of the things that come along with being that overweight and i was addicted oxycontin and i realized that wow i've really got to change something here this this this attraction thing that i understand so innately i have been misusing my whole life and that really started changing things at that point in the next 10 years i spent developing these tools for myself to transform myself and i did i got out of the bad relationship i got off of oxycontin i lost 100 pounds at 51. i have to say was that was in about that was my peak at 51 i'm 52 now and now with the lockdown i've definitely regressed a little bit not much but a little bit i have no gym to go to here i'm not a big home workout person i love it's funny because i used to hate going to the gym and i i really changed my vibration to where i loved going to the gym and i i'm missing that now i'm really missing i can't wait for the gym to open back up and get back into it but i've been cooking and eating and just enjoying this this flow of this time and you know the whole lockdown the global reset that's going on is a very exciting time for me i'm thrilled to come on and talk to people like you for sure for sure we i did a little interview hang out with uh some some of my friends yesterday and uh i'm just talking about how 2020's just been amazing man we've been thriving and and uh a lot of a lot of new territory even coming into 2020 for me and um owning my self-worth and like you know i'm saying uh knowing my value and things like that it's interesting you you mention that with like using um the law of attraction to to create wealth and things like that um versus the other stuff the spiritual stuff right the um um spiritual well-being manifesting friends all that kind of stuff there's it there's a lot of people who still fight with the idea that spirituality and wealth go together do you find do you are you still having like coach people and help them get over that misunderstanding or we've seen it abused in the past where like like it's okay to go to disney world you know what i'm saying it's so like like like almost like if if you desire to take your family to disney world you should be able to do it kind of thing you shouldn't have to do without and those kind of because i i even had this i do run into people in spiritual circles yeah i'm sorry you kind of know what you're through the i do run into a lot of people in spiritual circles and i'm on social media a lot and a lot of uh you know you're now you're talking about law of attraction so you're just all about money and you can't be spiritual and talk about money well money is certainly not the the cornerstone of what i teach i i teach inner happiness awakening self love joy source connection god connection if you will i teach that first and foremost but that doesn't mean that you have to separate yourself from the material world because we all chose to come and manifest into this material world that we're in and we have a system of commerce in place and it may not be perfect but it is our system of commerce and so if we chose to manifest into it why are we demonizing it why not accept it and embrace it and allow it to flow but just don't expect it to be the answer to all of your desires and and be everything that's what i teach is is that yes you can have all the material things i still like material stuff i live in southern california very expensive place to live and i like nice cars and i still like good food and i like travel i like experiences but i'm not depending on those things to make me joyful that's so important because it's funny when i and i don't know if you want me to channel here today or not i'm happy to do it or not do it it's up to you but the the stream has said before and i think with debbie that you think that money is the answer to everything but there's somewhere there's someone sitting in a five-star resort right now miserable about something so stupid you know their steak is their own temperature or the wine isn't cold enough and i've been around people that complain about stuff like that they hold themselves away from joy because their their super privileged lifestyle has some little ding in it that they have to fixate on and they're really holding themselves away from joy over the dumbest things what other people are really suffering yeah that's that's interesting it's one of those things where the grass is always greener and you have to learn to be content like there's an interesting scripture it says godliness with contentment is great gain to be content with where you are but still there's a word dichotomy there because you still want more there's still more that you're going to be tapping into there's a future there's greater things ahead of you but it's to be content while you're going through the process this inner vision of knowing that yes i'm i am stepping into wealth i am stepping into the perfect relationship but i'm step i have better friends that are going to come into my circle but still let me appreciate the friends that i have now kind of thing you know what i'm saying to be content with where you are to um use it the right way not use it but like treat every person every situation with it with the like like show it it's value it's worth you don't understand why you're there but still you know the harvest is plentiful the labor's a few just to understand that there's more coming you need to position yourself for more it's a it's a strange dichotomy there to to uh to be content but still desire more because it like where i come from the prosperity gospel and stuff we used to speak highly against that and they were like there was never enough and maybe it's something with you with that with the like just focusing on the material side you never have enough once you get the porsche now you need the bugatti now you need this and i know you're doing all this spiritual work manifestation naming it claiming it scripture whatever it is and you got it but then okay that's like the newness words off and you want something else another woman another pill another drug or another you know whatever it is and so it's this place of like not having enough that we have to make sure that we we balance to be content in all things and i was going to say that's a that's what i was actually going to interject there is balance is everything because you have a soul consciousness which is the eternal part of you that is expansive it's seeking to have these challenging experiences to overcome and expand into a higher state of being so so that consciousness is expansive and your ego consciousness is also expansive your ego is always wanting more and when they're out of balance and you are just focused on the soul version of you and a lot of people again in spiritual circles think that that's what you're supposed to do you're supposed to come to this physical world and meditate your days away yeah but we're in a physical world there's a beautiful world to go and experience and enjoy and you know and all of these things that we create and the stream says that everything that we appreciate is a physical expression of source of god someone put that channeled that that source energy into creating the bugatti into creating a beautiful meal into creating even just beautiful natural scenery all of that is source energy whether it's human creation or our natural creation it really is all the same thing and if we have the ability to observe it and and appreciate it which appreciation and desire are a little different because appreciation is that is a beautiful expression of source i would love to experience that that's appreciation of and you can experience these things which means you're willing to experience them and release them if they need to be released the desiring of them is very different the vibration of that is i'm not a happy person and i think if i have that thing that i appreciate that i'm going to be happy because of the having of it and i need to grab it i need to hold on to it i need to not let it go and as soon as i get that i'm going to realize that wow this may be happy for a minute but now i'm bored with it and now i need another one i need two yachts and i need three houses and i need 12 cars and you know like you said a wife and three girlfriends or whatever it is i need more and more and more and more and it never ends and i got to a certain point with that in my life and realized that none of this stuff is working and i can go buy a second home or i can buy a third car or i can buy a boat but right now i have everything i thought i needed to be happy i was living in a really upper upper class but not super wealthy lifestyle but from my poor childhood perspective the big house the german cars the clothes the great furniture the fancy meals that was everything and i had all of that and i i i am very thankful that i stopped to realize that wait right now i have everything i thought i was supposed to have to be joyful and i'm not so there's an answer somewhere else for me and that's what i spent the next decade doing is going and finding that answer and now that's what i teach um is it internal or is it external do we all already have it like even then obviously there was a there was unlearning and there's a whole process but did you already ha have what you needed to be complete you just didn't see it there the whole time i i believe that it's internal i believe that that source connection we are all strands of consciousness that are extension of that and it's in us but we are born into a scenario by choice where we allow our physical environment to overshadow that our ego comes in and overshadows that consciousness so that we can come and have this contrasting experience of positive and negative because the look what the negative stuff does for us all of us that are in these spiritual circles especially those of us that that teach we all have all of these horror stories in our lives that brought us to this space one thing i've noticed we all got in common yeah nobody's sitting on spirituality going wild you know i just had this privileged life and it's just been great and perfect and wonderful and i've always had money in good health are there some people though is this is there some people that are that have that have you met any of those people like who have not had her into the stream that will say they've had a very gentle life and and they just appreciate the stream but they're not going into great depth with it and that's okay that's the experience that they are having yeah it's just that the ones that are really going out on a limb to teach yeah we were talking about burning the bridges of employment before we got on yeah i was joking that there was a time i had a very high level corporate job for 20 years and made mid-six figures reported to a ceo of a fortune 500 company and it was an achievement for me because i don't have a formal education but i had to hide my spiritual side in that that realm and toward the end i got to the point where i had transformed my life so much i could not not share it anymore and i started my po that's why i started the stream of david podcast that was three four years ago and i was still in the corporate job and people in my corporate environment thought i was nuts and i absolutely was damaging my career and i didn't care yeah and about six months into that podcast i just quit the job no plan no safety net i just quit the job i was living in san francisco very expensive lifestyle and i just knew that it was all going to work out and has it been perfect since then absolutely not but it's it's always my abundance has just always arrived for me and it looks very different than i thought it would look and it's so joyful in the experiencing of it and i i really have let go now and just allow this magical experience to unfold for me and i could care less now i'm never going to go look for employment again from someone else so if someone wants to google me they're going to see you know 10 pages of google medium channel all this stuff that i'm describing is on the internet i don't care i don't care and i don't care what my family thinks anymore about it i wrote about them in my book and i have been disconnected from a lot of people in my life and i've made peace with all of that i'm doing this for the people that are vibrationally matched to it i know that i'm helping people and in helping people i'm helping myself in turn and i love doing what i do every day i get to do what i love doing every day of my life and live where i want to live and exist the way that i want to exist that is that is abundance right there yeah for sure 100 um finding how to get that whatever even like with the whole you know what i'm saying money thing of like money's going to complete me like there's there's money money has to play an issue because like you got to keep the lights on you know you may have kids that you got to support you may have a family and so for you just to quit your job it's hard you know there is wisdom in in that i'd say because um but for me i think it was you know my story seems very similar to yours because i was having these spiritual awakenings and i was a christian minister again and uh i would just be open and honest about it you know we was doing psilocybin mushrooms and i'm like i'm having angels meet with me on psilocybin mushrooms and give me downloads about my destiny and what and how i need to unlock it and step into it and i couldn't keep it shut like if i have the answers to like to how to cure depression how to get a game plan for your life i mean they couldn't shut me up talking about jesus whenever i first got introduced to i'm telling everybody i'm hanging out the car window screaming his name down the road like crazy stuff but when i was doing that with spirituality aliens ufos summoning ufos like going outside and praying and ufos showing up you know what i'm saying and i was just like i need to talk to somebody about this stuff not a psychiatrist but you know um as i was being open and honest my friends i had friends with me they were on the psilocybin journeys with me they were summoning ufos with me some of them got better than i was but um they would never speak about it publicly because of their reputation because of their their wife as a school teacher whatever right but for me it was like no i have to like i can't i can't hold this in like i need first of all i'm so drawn to it it resonates with me i get excited when i talk about it i get excited when other people can add to it and they've been there and they we can hold a conversation about summoning ufos right we can hold a conversation about going deep and meeting the golden teachers on psilocybin mushrooms you know so for me it was a thing where all my peers were like don't do it man don't talk about it if your boss i was working a regular job if your boss finds out you're gonna get fired yeah you're probably right but i couldn't hold it in and so for me back then it was i was laughed at even in the church pierce because i was still a minister at that point you know talking about psilocybin and stuff and aliens and that didn't last long um they kicked me out really quick or just ghosted you and told people to stay away from you you're a witch or whatever um but it was the greatest thing how fear do people are so fearful about that that thought and you're you're not posing a threat to anyone by thinking what you're thinking you're not coming in with a gun and saying that you're going to you know wipe everybody out you're simply coming in and saying this was my experience and they can't just listen and allow you to have your experience we're taught so much fear around anything that's outside of 3d that you're a threat now because you have thoughts that are different than the main streams well you are though you're messing with their livelihood you know because if you're if you have a church that's teaching one thing and then you come in and say hey like you don't got to do that like the tithing we was even with just religious stuff we i had a target on my back because they would teach tithing inside like god was going to punish you if you didn't give them your money like you couldn't give it to another donation you couldn't give it to a struggling mother you had to give it to them and and if you didn't then god was going to punish you and they will quote scriptures and stuff and we get to the bottom of it hey man the bible don't teach that bro these guys are taking this out of context because they want your money and then we're taking from them like we're telling people to think for them themselves and god loves you regardless or whatever so you you become an enemy you do to them you are in there with a gun you know you're taking money out of you're taking money from their family like that's their business you're messing with their business so they got to get rid of you you they have to you know ghost you and tell people to stay away from you anything that's different that's the weird thing but the beautiful thing is now i'm i roll with a lot of christians now there's a big big christian mystical movement that's tied into the spiritual movement and um and we just celebrate what makes us different and our disagreements and we celebrate it we don't demonize or point each other out kind of like spirituality going wild and what we're doing here just celebrating the things that make us different and knowing that there's something beautiful in it you know yeah we know that the stream says that that ev every thought every every being serves a purpose even the ones that we don't understand or agree with at all all of it serves a purpose in the expansion of the universe in creation but from my human perspective i always say that whatever you're doing if it works for you that's great the only place i would recommend drawing a line is that dogma of this is the only way yeah we are right everyone else is wrong and that never made sense to me in fact i was asked to leave sunday school in the fourth grade because i was questioning dinosaurs and things like that like why why is this not in the bible if this you know this has been discovered and we have these these fossils and maybe it's because the bible was written at a time that that had not been discovered yet so maybe the bible's not completely you know the word of god maybe it's the word of god is interpreted by man and maybe it's been reinterpreted but i i also knew that i was gay at a very young age so that was such a gift for me because that made me question everything because i knew that i was what i was and that i was what i was via creation and there was nothing wrong with it i knew that early on and that was great because a lot of gay people don't know that they absorb this their evil idea and internalize that and it really messes them up but i knew that so that caused me to question everything whereas my older brother we were raised in a very religious scenario my older brother never questioned anything and you know now we're in our 50s and he's led a life that is what i would call dutiful and he's not a happy guy he's just not every time i'm around him he's and i don't see him much but when i when i am he's he's very regretful of how his life has has played out because he's always lived his life to please someone else and take care of someone else and i think he looks at me and admiration that i live my life however the hell i want to live it and i have a sadness for him because of that but again that was the path that he chose so it's okay and there are certainly people that are worse off than my brother but that that dogma of this is the only way and every other way is wrong that is always rubbing it the wrong way i've never liked that you could tell like you are spiritual there's you know i've been around spiritual circles where oh they're meditating wrong this is the wrong meditation yeah yeah i had it i did a uh shout out to my friend uh but i did i did a chakra clearing um meditation where you you light your chakras up and you spin them you light each one up and it's cleansing and it's doing energy work to each one but the way i had him spinning he said was the wrong way you're spinning them the wrong way you can cause a lot of harm to an individual from spinning them that way i was like what the heck you know and all these weird you know spiritual rules and stuff you know yeah you know belief i found that i teach this and it and it has worked belief trumps everything your belief is where it's at and all of these things that we have are our human tools chakras crystals uh angelic beings there's an energetic realm that we are comprehending from a human perspective that's very limited in compared to our wholeness and that's by design so that we can have this contrasting experience if we came knowing everything that we know eternally there would be no contrast in our lives we would just come and live this utopian perfection on planet earth and that's not why we're here we are here for the negative experiences as much as we are for the positive because we receive growth in our negative experiences it's it's very this is a cornerstone of our teachings is that the negative stuff is here to serve a purpose and you use the term radical radical forgiveness and we use that a lot in fact a lot of interviews i will dive right into radical appreciation which is i think even beyond forgiveness like you could forgive someone or something in your life but have you fully appreciated it and in the practice that i teach which is called taya tya it's it's about trust but you cannot get to the trust until you appreciate all of your transgressor energy and appreciation is beyond forgiveness it's finding appreciation for the worst aspects of your life and that is radical for a lot of people to accept but when you do that you detune and de-power all of that negative energy and it really changes it that activates an awakening in you because now you don't harken back to that awful thing that happened to you when you were a child or the time you were treated badly or the time that you got burned did you say never again i'll never be in another relationship again i'll never start another business again i'll never put myself out there again or i'm going to go on a show and then i'm going to you know have regrets that i went on the show and wanted taken off the air you know all of that stuff that we know happens because people become fearful because they have this negative energy that activates fear within them and when you dive into not just radical acceptance and forgiveness but radical appreciation there's nothing left for that energy to do to you when you could say wow i appreciate that i was abused as a child and i found my unique path to appreciation of that even though it was a horrific experience i now understand it and i see it differently and i'm allowing it to serve me in some way therefore i can find appreciation for it it sounds insane but when you take yourself through that process that monster that demon is gone and you realize that you have power over your demons and you find for me that any person it becomes a blessing like my demons i'm thankful like i thank god you know what i'm saying that that i went through this stuff and it made me the person that i am today and without it who would i be you know without those trials and without that character that was birthed in me through going through that stuff and so those demons were a blessing they were um you know when you're going through it it's not right it's like let me out we don't want to see other people we don't want to see children being abused i get that but is is is demonizing it stopping it obviously it's not and that's what i'm trying to share with the world is let's stop demonizing it and we can demonize it for a minute if we won't say it's horrible it's terrible how could that person do that to somebody of that poor child i get all of that but it doesn't solve anything so okay let's solve something by saying we are all here to experience the contrast the negative aspects and let's find understanding and appreciation of it because that is going to serve us and we've all endured things and and those of us that have endured some of the worst things become teachers so is it really a bad thing at the end of the day and maybe if we start trying to understand it rather than just demonize it we can actually solve some of these things because we're not here just to experience negative and just have negative b we're actually here to solve negative and expand in the process of solving negative so in our solving of it we grow as beings but we also contribute to the expansion of the universe by creating and solving problems but there is a solving aspect to it but when someone wants to stop at the victim space and say oh you're a terrible person you're blaming the victim how could they ever appreciate that well that's negative energy that until you clear that you're not going to move over here and that's what i want for everybody is to come to understand that i always use my most extreme examples of people that i've worked with that have forgiven their children being murdered and found even appreciation for the path that their children took and had that occur and i have seen the transformation in these people when they find that path that is it's such a transformation to this enlightened space of peace and joy and clarity never saying that they they love the fact that their child was murdered but having a much higher opinion of it and understanding of it which actually connects them to their their child's energy in their completed state which is an amazing process so i i do work with people in that that's that's a very extreme example because that's the one thing we all think we could never forgive but yet i've seen people do it and i've seen the peace and the joy and the connectivity to their to their loved one that it brings and so if they can do that we can all forgive anything that's happened all the way to the point of appreciation and that idea of radical forgiveness and radical appreciation is very foreign to us because we're told to be victims in this society but when we change that we really become powerful beings yeah that's so true um for i think like there's a there's a um there's a reason why this stuff works you know i i'm you know my mind goes to christianity right that's my framework and stuff and the forgiveness and forgiving yourself and um jesus giving you forgiveness of all the bad stuff that you've ever done that's a start right because you have to go in like you go it goes deeper it starts with just this beautiful forgiveness and experience in that and feeling lighter like it's not on you and stuff and then like but then going to um appreciation that goes a little bit deeper and i would say not the majority of christians don't even get into that right there was like another route that you got to take to really go in and do the shadow work if you will right even though you've been forgiven and stuff why are you continuing to do it you know those kind of things um but now i look at stuff like aaa right and seeing the forgiveness process as well and how like literally that you know i'm saying the 12-step programs and and receiving forgiveness knowing that there's a god that forgives you or in a higher power that forgives you and then you forgiving those that you've wronged right similar stories in the bible jesus says forgive those who have trespassed you and if you want forgiveness then you need to offer it and you know how you know how can you ask for forgiveness or demand forgiveness and and you're you're still harboring resentment and anger towards others so there's we're getting into universal law right i think both of those are different embodiments of these universal truths that can be dissected and and pulled into any religion or any spiritual practice or whatever and it works walking and forget forgiving yourself forgiving others um and uh you know seeing the power that that that has you know and uh not feeling like a um a victim anymore not feeling like like you're carrying the weight on the weight of the world on your shoulders for the wrongs that you've done and for me you know that experience came in an instant right and they come for people in an instant we're getting into the flow of of the holy spirit or energy work or pranayama whatever it is and allowing the bliss and the grace and the forgiveness of god that's for everybody you just and you're already forgiven you just don't know it right letting people know that gospel that you're already forgiven you don't have to do anything we just need you just need to know it and to really meditate on it think about it ask for it because it's already there it's a free gift and seeing the transformation power that just that has the forgiveness aspect not and obviously going into the inner work and wherever you branch off into that but just the power of forgiveness you know very very powerful because it d it detunes the demon and you asked earlier about is it something that's separate or is it in us all of that is in us the good and the evil is is us and people take that very literally sometimes and of course depending on what version of the bible that you're reading and who translated it and what you know language it's been translated from and into and all of that it sort of goes all over the place but the common thread is there is universal law woven all the way through there and you can find your path back to universal law through all of the metaphors and translations and things like that but if you get super literal with it then you really are thinking that you know i was taught that there was a deity in the sky that was god that was judgmental and needed to be worshipped and you know that that's kind of how i took all of that and that there was uh you know satan was in the center of the earth and was this this evil force well all of that really exists in us and the reason that we all teach meditation is not to go out somewhere and find something that's separate it's it's to allow what already exists in us to emerge when we take the fear and the resistance and all of those negative thoughts out and clear our minds that goodness that love that expansive energy is there and there's nothing wrong with prayer certainly prayer and intention are the same thing raising your vibration in this state of belief and if if you believe it it shall be we all create our own bubble of reality and you're talking about experiencing energies from other realms and things like that all of that is here all the time it's just you allowed yourself to experience awareness and you filtered it through your mind in a way that you can get it and other people haven't allowed themselves to do that so they label you you know crazy or eccentric or whatever but they're just not they're not allowing you to have your experience and you're actually allowing yourself to experience things that most people are holding themselves in 3d and not allowing themselves to experience it's all here and and maybe for the better because if it's going to cause fear then then your mind is automatically going to hold you away from it because we're taught that you know ghosts are these evil things to fear i saw my grandfather after he passed away just as clear as day i can remember it to this day and that was in 1976 standing by his car not only was he the ghost his car was the ghost was he really there no i was what's that i said do we see ghosts anymore because that was you know back in those days you heard a lot more of that you don't hear too many like legit yeah ghost sightings these days like in the 80s and 90s and you heard a lot more i don't know maybe we were less preoccupied when they get bored with things yeah well in that whole uh back in the 80s uh 70s and 80s when i was a kid i remember hearing a lot about you know satan worship and things like that you don't hear about that much anymore either so unless it's from the government dawn to other things yeah that now the gov now people are realizing the true evil is a government for sure and they're not far off base with that yeah sure but the the uh the idea of seeing a ghost i i came to understand at a young age that that was my the energy that was my grandfather's being that i was experiencing in a way that i could comprehend it dude that's what that was interacting of loving and caring it was it really him or was it or was it an impression of him that was like burnt into the fabric of our reality that's a something i have when it comes to good right right it was it was his the best way i can describe it is his energy as it is attached to me because he's an eternal being he's been many things beyond my physical version of my grandfather so that was my experiencing of his energy as it was connected to me and it was probably my missing him and summoning it as much as his wanting to his being wanting to continue to interact in some way he was the only person in my life at that time that wasn't tugging at me he just was he was he was sort of losing his mind a little bit and he just was when my grandmother had all these expectations for me and my mother was going through a divorce and was very unhappy my father had left and was you know connected to another family at that point and there was no adult in my life other than him and then he died and so that was my experiencing of that energy i definitely when i started being more intentional with my experiencing the energetic realm i conjured haunted scenarios i had a haunted house that i lived in i lived in two places that i would say from the the commercial you know hollywood version of haunted were haunted and and they were one was in orlando florida and the other was in seattle washington and neither one of them were necessarily old structures it wasn't about that at all it was about what i was allowing and starting to allow on this journey of mine kind of dipping into different energies and things like that and then once i appreciated it and wasn't wasn't afraid of it anymore it all just went away because i don't need that anymore i understand that it's all here and there's nothing scary about it there's nothing to be afraid of and it i'm not fearing it i'm not pushing against it so it's not part of my reality anymore now i can tune right into source and speak source and that's what i'm going to spend the rest of my life doing is that but we all have that ability yeah so whether it's to speak it or not we all have that in us to tune into that's our intuition did you uh so did you get in did you get into some dark stuff or some curious stuff for a while that kind of like made you susceptible to different types of forces that yeah the overbearing the experience in in seattle um you know beyond the physical things that were going on this was at the time when i was 300 pounds and on oxycontin and all this stuff uh and i really was just really wanting to know what's going on with me and i'm a very self-taught individual so i'm not one that's going to go take a class from someone else to learn to be a channel or a medium or spiritual or any of this stuff i have to go you know pull from different things i was seeing a lot of psychics and i was really uh really into horror films but not the hack em up you know gross kind of horror films more the supernatural kind of horror films where something that you can't see is creating something and then i took that and constructed a scenario like that in my own life where my house in bellevue washington outside of seattle i had all these things happen that were so much like the horror movies lights turning on and off appliances turning on and off uh black crows flying into the window uh chandelier in the foyer fell in the middle of the night uh voices footsteps you know all of that commercial stuff i even had a picture i was sitting in my my family room one sunday afternoon and there was you know these pictures that lean back on the little stand and it shifted a little bit and i looked over and i was looking right at it i saw it move and then it flopped over forward right in front of me and there was no mouse no cat nothing like that there was nothing there and it was a picture of me so that was something that physically moved in front of me that wasn't just my encountering it that i experienced that i could not explain at that time and it was something that i allowed to happen i actually created this scenario where it happened and it physically happened and there was another person there that experienced it with me and experienced all of that with me but our fear and my focus and my focusing the other person on it conjured it we brought all of that into being in that scenario because we were we were tapping into lower vibrational energy and creating a lower vibrational experience for ourselves and you can do that but it didn't harm us and that's when i became i think i needed to do that to teach myself to be fearless of the energetic realm that even the things that felt like darker energy ultimately had no power over me unless i gave it that power and that solved that for me yeah yeah i uh i started there you know um the dark stuff and trying to get into whatever worked really and it led me to doing a lot of different you know meditations or trying to conjure spirits or whatever the case was that anyone that would show up or talk or communicate like which one's real which one has the power and it led me to do them all but like none of them worked until they all worked at the same time and it like created this rip of this portal in the spirit world where they would pull me and suck me in and out of trances it's funny you mentioned the movies because it was a lot of stuff that like i can go back i can tell you certain scenes in movies like yeah you remember this when it was a movie called stir of echoes kevin bacon would be pulled into a trance and he would see ghost he would turn pale he would shake and he he would breathe cold and that was happening to me they would pull me in and i would lock up and i would see stuff and i couldn't talk and i would come back like what the hell just happened you know and it's like did you have that happen before you saw the movie or did you see the movie after you had that happen hard to say really it was like right it's around the same time but it was weird because man i'm getting chills talking about this right because there was also i also like thing the the the veil between this world and the other one was very thin for me at this couple weeks or months um i at the very end of this psychosis kind of stuff i went through of trying to make packs with spirits there was this weird spirit of like hypochondria that come on me that was still tied to the television because i would be watching television and we changed the channel and i remember seeing doctor shows or somebody was in the uh somebody had brain cancer then another person said they had testicular cancer and i had this when i heard it i had this overwhelming sensation that i had those things i have you know cancer i've got this and it was just weird like you couldn't talk me out of it it was demonic it wasn't healthy it was fear-based it was scary but it worked through me seeing it on the tv and then experiencing it in my life which was kind of strange too around that same time that was at the peak though like at you know uh really after that it didn't last much yeah i think it's just it's a step in the process and like everything else we go through this vibrational flow right vibration is high we know when we're up in high vibration we feel good then we get down and we're down in in less than high vibration and we can go all the way down into fear and judgment and you know depression and all this stuff but the vibrational flow is natural because of polarity but what we do in these spaces is our own creation and that's why i like to clean up the transgressor energy because when our vibration drops and we have the transgression energy it grabs us and holds us down there and doesn't have to do that i mean much like you go through oxycontin drugs i mean stealing robin you know robbing people and like all of that mixed with demonic like packs and stuff so it was something energy something to say with the drugs yeah yep yeah yeah the interesting thing is is that i have come to realize that this vibrational flow the down stuff that we view as negative actually is causing us to create something bigger and more evolved because of the down stuff and what happens to a lot of people is they'll be up in high vibration and they'll start thinking gosh there's so much more i'm going to start exploring the energetic realm i'm going to start a business i'm going to get into another really whatever it is and you feel good about it and you're creating in a positive way and then the vibration drops and you create problems you go through this period where you're dipping into low vibrational energy you're doing the shadow work you're you know you're experiencing negative things and if you let fear hold you there you might stop and retreat back to where you were but then the growth and the the new creation doesn't occur and if you move through that period then you look back as i know you do just from talking to you and you see how that low period served your expansion so you don't have to go back there again and now as a teacher you have had that experience that you can connect with people and i do the same thing i've created negative experiences for myself for a long time i i didn't understand what people said when they were empaths and they connected with narcissists and i had a little narcissism in my own being there for a little while and i actually manifested a narcissist in my life and had that typical empath narcissist awful relationship for a little while and i realized that i needed to manifest that to have more empathy for the people that have have uh experienced that because even though i had this empathic ability about me i was sort of turning a cold shoulder to people that it felt like a victim vibe when they said that they were in the snare of a narcissist well i judged that and since i judged that i created that in my life and then i went through a period where i realized wow i've actually attracted this scenario so that i can understand it on a deeper level and then in the future when someone tells me that have more empathy for them i actually through my empathic abilities created that scenario so you needed to create you needed to go and face the darkness that probably in your religion you were told to fear and be be very fearful of and then you faced it and you survived it and then you realize that okay there's nothing really to fear there because you go down into this negative space and the actions you take from down there are your choice and you can experience that negative energy next time know what it feels like and not choose to be fearful of it and conjure more of it yeah very healing yeah very very willing to go and experience and flow the scary thing is knowing that other people are there and they don't make it out though like i think i feel like i got lucky i feel like you got lucky too you know i mean how many people do you know that died of oxycontin overdose i mean i can tell you probably four or five close friends you know uh who have died from drug overdose and uh you know that's the and that's where the empathy and the compassion comes from though to go back and to reach out to those people who are struggling because we did make it out and with making it out we know that hey there's a hidden path here go that path and you'll get out you know what i'm saying there is a way out you're not trapped at rock bottom this isn't your destiny there's more for you and um but that's the thing about i feel like it gives us a natural empathy to dance amongst those demons do not be afraid of them anymore because we've looked them in the face they i've gotten bit by one you know what i'm saying it's not as scary as it is for other people the best we have to offer is our example that we survived it and you can too and another another thing i i love this uh this term that we use called zooming out where you're really zooming in because it's internal but zooming out to that high perspective of non-fear and non-judgment that that god perspective if you will because that's how i understand sourcing god is not about judgment or fear or any of those things all of that is human construct to keep people behaving in a certain way within religions so if you zoom out to that perspective of non-judgment and on fear even the ones who don't survive it you know the 27 club the ones that die of a drug overdose at a relatively young age we are looking at that from our human perspective of that was an awful experience they succumbed to it they got in the negative and they stayed but really they had their experience they their eternal being came and had a human life experience and their experience was that they allowed that to to end them and there is actual growth in that experience for that soul and when you start viewing life like that suddenly life and death and tragedy and all of these things come into clarity of wow nothing is going on here that that is this horrible awful end of us thing if we all believe that we're eternal beings having multiple experiences then why is death so bad and why is death at a certain age so bad why not just appreciate the fact that they came and they had their experience and maybe they didn't make it past 27 or 35 or 50 or whatever it was but that doesn't negate all of the things they created in the time that they were here and they returned to their their wholeness and they they get to come back and do it again and again and again and i know that the idea of reincarnation may very well just be rooted in our own ego but it just makes sense that we're eternal we all innately know that we're just more than this and there is more than just this it i think um for what i've experienced it like some of that people can use it to become really passive and so okay that that's that you know they're they're just in their [Â __Â ] that's just for them let them stay there as long as they want they'll come to it versus us like wanting to go help them like hey bro you're fixing to die man like you're in a bad spot and i'm reaching out to you like i feel like it would it make us be more passive instead of that and especially when you look at that with like the christians and stuff who really believe in hell like hell is their main message like that's why they're so vocal because they like the compassionate ones are going to tell you you're going to hell because they really believe that you are and that's a good thing because they believe it if the you know you know how uh and this is what penn jillette talks about like how much of a just uh you know i'm saying bad person or despicable person could they be to know that you're going to hell and not tell you like that's that's a cold-hearted individual you know to not try so um but then like even with that health scenario as i'm pulled back from the health scenario there's a there's less um less urgency right to uh to to to help individuals get through it or to get it right you know if they die whatever it's their choice they have free will and they've chosen versus like hey man i'm here for you and i want to help you get get out of this right i feel like some people could take that kind of notion of like oh because even with the suicide thing and i've spoken out against this like i know it's some you know spiritual healers who were high up one day the next day they're like i'm gonna kill myself i don't want to be here and they're like literally got a gun and and they're fantasizing about well you know we all have this vibrational flow all of us you don't outrun that so even if you're a spiritual teacher and healer you're going to go down in low vibration and if you it's sort of like the more you work yourself up into high highs to do what you do when you drop a little bit it's very uncomfortable and it's it's a space you don't want to be in but if you're fighting that space you're going to pull yourself down further and further and further and this misnomer that we're spiritual teachers so we never go down or we have perfect lives yeah you know if there's there's a lot of people that uh i'm on tick tock now and tick tock is kind of like spirituality going well it's a wild west and you get all kinds of trolling comments and you know mostly positive comments yeah people just pick apart anything you know why can't you attract hair on your head if you're in the law of attraction you know stuff like that and they're really not getting it they're really not understanding that none of us are perfect we have figured things out and we know that we can help people and we do help people but that doesn't mean that we're perfect beings we do dip down into low vibration but i think when we get ourselves into trouble is when we start trying to claw our way back up and judging ourselves from being a low vibration that's when you get people that are suicidal or that just can't take it anymore because they're absorbing all of the energy as an empath of everyone around them and they're judging it all of this negative it's negative it's terrible and when it comes to allowing people to have their experience it's not just stepping back and not caring it's being empathic toward them and and giving them an example of how they can move out of it but ultimately accepting it's their choice whether they accept what you're offering or not and being at peace with that yeah i think i was just bringing up the the suicide thing just because like the the notion in the spiritual community is that i get to do it again like i get to push the reset button and just come back as another versus like get it right now like you need to get it right today like don't you like they and i i've we've lost a lot of people to suicide right and a lot of spiritual healers and people in this community who it just you know one day they're here the next day that they're not and i don't want them to look at that as an option you know that you just get to reset and reincarnate as another maybe you'll get a better one you know what that's right you know yeah the stream says if you think you're cr we're expansive beings right and we receive expansion by the challenges that we place in our paths and we we manifest as a vibrational match to our point of entry and a lot of us say well i would have never chosen my parents i would have never chosen being born into poverty or as a minority that's suppressed or something like that but truthfully if we are expansive soul consciousness beings that are eternal and we're coming to have a contrasting experience as a physical being then we're going to choose more and more difficult paths because of the greater expansion that's offered in it so the stream has said if you think your life this time is difficult just wait the next one is going to be more difficult so the you're exactly right the the ending of your life to come back and do it again in a different way you're probably going to manifest in something even more challenging because this wasn't challenging enough for you to push push through it so the beings that come and manifest as sick children are in poverty are actually highly advanced souls looking for that deep experience and we see examples of that in these children that are born with terminal cancer or something of that nature and they're they never even maybe make it out of the hospital you know they live three four five years and everyone talks about how enlightened they were have you have you seen stories like that it's very common that this little child with such a bright light and such a ray of sunshine and such so at peace with their journey and they were so inspiring to everyone around them and how sad it is that they are gone now four or five years in but you're seeing that example of that highly evolved being coming for that experience manifesting in the path of that understanding its eternal nature and being at peace with not having this perfect existence or this ideal existence as a human being making peace with it being very at peace with it and we do see that and it is inspiring because at our core we understand that that's really what we're all about being at peace with whatever is and that really allows you to expand and fully appreciate and enjoy life as it is uh we've been talking about the stream right the stream of david and talking about the stream says this and stuff like that what what is the stream the stream is i i have had this my whole life i've always called it my knowing and it was just this i really had this heightened allowing of my inner knowing because i was really just left to my own devices as a child my father left when i was six my mother was very disconnected i don't think they really wanted me as a child i was supposed to they had a son i was supposed to be a daughter they thought that was going to fix their marriage it didn't and so they kind of just ignored me so i was really left to just raise myself and embracing myself i always had this inner understanding of how the world operates how law of attraction works uh what [Â __Â ] so much of our reality really is it's a very cynical little kid and i misused that as i said earlier throughout a lot of my life because i really took that universal law knowing and applied it to manifesting money and things and then i got into my early 40s and realized that i'd gotten it wrong and that my human ego overshadowed my knowing and i used it in a way that didn't serve me but ultimately i saw how it did serve me because i created all of this negative stuff in my adult life that actually brought me to a place of being a better teacher so i spent 10 years fixing all of this and in that 10-year period i would see psychics psychics told me that i was a channel and that was what was different about me and weird that i had this heightened ability to tap into source energy and really decode it from a human perspective and once i discovered esther hicks channeling abraham that made it less weird for me it really sounded like what i was receiving but i got to a point with it where i realized that i'm getting this stuff also and i'm even getting some other things that i'm not getting from abraham so i need to disconnect and go deep into my own teachings i started writing my book the stream eternal wisdom for a better life and so i started writing that book i started my podcast and then i just decided that hey i'm going to share this with the world and that's what i started doing on the podcast and i needed at that point because i'd already taught myself to speak it i had asked for a name and when i got to the level where i could literally converse there was no name there is no name and it was very very clear that we are we we are consciousness and we're not even we or i or they or he or she or any of that stuff we are consciousness we are the consciousness that created the universe we flow through all creation we are flowing to you and you have tapped into an ability to to really get it and you have taught yourself to speak it and write it and and not being able to give it a name i thought well how am i going to identify this so i identified it as a stream of consciousness and i just started calling it the stream and then when i launched the podcast i called it the stream of david and so it's funny now when people come home when i'm channeling and they'll say hi stream how are you and it's it we're human you know we have to kind of put everything into human terms but all of these people that channel always seem to pick this male name that's you know of english or latin descent and or latin uh origin that is just the name they're giving this energy that they are channeling and that's okay and there's lots of people on the channel that channel something similar to what the stream is but the stream isn't the same thing just as abraham is its own unique thing i feel like it has its own set of teachings and and it works it's very practical it's not flavored by uh spiritual teachings or religious teachings at all i wanted to strip it down to a very core message of of source consciousness teaching universal law and universal law is very simple universal law of attraction like attracts like and that is the process of creation but there's also a law of polarity meaning that our vibration is always in flux so that we're going to attract a mix of wanted and unwanted because the unwanted is a key component of the creative process that actually is what drives us to create new things and evolve so once you embrace the unwanted i.e find appreciation for it that's when your life really starts to change yeah a very long answer to what is this no no i was like just thinking about that while ago is like and i'm big on this just uh like the like the creativity and the drive to make it comes out of a place of you being where you don't want to be you know and i know that you know now now that you're not working the corporate job the energy's changed at least like how you get inspiration and how you continue to create and like the drive was different you kind of made it now now you get to wake up and do it whatever you want do what you love for a living right versus being in this place where you had to clock into a job that even though it paid good you didn't want to be there you know you would i'd rather be fishing you know that kind of thing and so now you get to wake up the energy's different and you have to adjust on how to create in that energy versus being in a place that you don't want to be creating there's a little bit more drive there there's a little bit more easier i think to like want to do it i read a um my friend of mine he posted his schedule for this week he's in he's in a job like that he's working a job he don't want to do it but he's like posting like what time he he wakes up meditation and affirmations and prayer and then this so he's like adding these things onto his life he's getting up early so that he can tap into the affirmations that he can start working on courses or material he can do things that are going to benefit his future you know what i'm saying like uh and just seeing his schedule because i had that schedule you know where you had you had to get up at literally like i wanted to go start going to the gym and i had to i had to clock in at uh 2 30. that means i had to get up at 1. i had to get up at 1 to go to the gym and i go to the gym and work out and there's people there working out like is it y'all's morning or y'all's night like y'all have y'all been here so it's like but it's like making that time it's the drive is different you hear it on a lot of music the first one or two albums are like yeah you can tell they wanted to make it and then eventually it's just like they're just writing songs you know because they know how to write a song and that drive is gone to make it that that uh angry teen isn't there anymore and green that's why the original stuff is always the best stuff in music and then everything else is a contract that they're they're trying to fulfill it's very obvious or somebody else wrote it you know all kind of stuff like that but it's that place of like i don't know your book earlier and and something i didn't realize until i wrote my book i spent all this time writing a book and i'm dyslexic and so i need a lot of editing and things like that and it took a long time and i'm writing my second book now and that's going to take years to write and get out but most people don't even write their own books i didn't know that i didn't know that most of peop even spiritual authors hire somebody else to write they put a bunch of thoughts together and they hand it off to a ghost writer and you know a handful of ghost writers are actually writing most books and when you were diving into the vibe of how difficult it was for you to write the book it hit me that ah this dude actually wrote his book which is really cool i wrote my book too and that's why it's it's the way that it is and it's different and you know if some publisher got a hold of it it would have been you know conversations with god or something like that i tried which i heard was a very different book and it's original as well exactly i tried to i tried to work with a publisher early on and i just heard different stories that other people's relationship with publishers but mine again they wanted to change stuff i love my cover i mean i think i sell a lot of copies just off of this amazing i just love it and they're like we're going to get you a different cover i'm like no i'm changing my cover very cool the best part about the book is the cover you know like yeah he's like yeah that cover's not going to sell we're going to get a different cover and we're going to charge you guys you got to pay one of our i was like i already paid somebody want me no i got this i got it yeah publishing is a it's it's you know it's an industry like anything else and they're just in to make money and somebody said to me well you know don't you want the prestige of a big name publisher publishing your book and i said you know kim kardashian could write a book tomorrow about a pimple on her ass and then publishers would be fighting for it because she's got you know a couple hundred million and i don't dislike kim kardashian i'm just saying this is someone who has a couple of million follow 100 million followers on instagram so she's going to publish anything she writes and she's not even going to write it she's going to put some thoughts together someone else is going to write it it's going to sell they're going to make money so where's the prestige in that i would rather write my true thoughts have it beautifully edited so that people can consume it and get it and and put it out in such a way to the people who are ready to receive it and my ego wants a new york times bestseller but the stream could care less whether it's in new york times bestseller or not so it's there to reach the audience that you're intending to reach and connect with and and quantity is not part of the energetic realm that's a human ego driven thing even with that all my friends and obviously there's perks that come with it right with a publishing company stuff but my friends who have done that they get like a dollar per book i put a dollar they get a dollar per sale it's like you did all that hard work and if you so if you sell 100 copies you get a hundred dollars like there's no way if i get if i if i grind and and my community support and they buy a hundred copies i want a little bit more to show for it than a hundred a hundred dollars is gone when i go out to eat twice with my family it's like this yeah you know it's a pretty compared to publishers amazons are pretty it's very disruptive in the publishing world amazon's pretty generous with their split more so than they have to be yeah because they own it now they own all of it now yeah i've i mean it's uh my book has just been it was hard you know blood sweat and tears went into that my wife edited it for me and and she had a hard time trying to articulate help me articulate my ideas and stuff and what i was really trying to say with these sentences and stuff like that and um so obviously if she had a hard time just think if i would have gave it to somebody else that i couldn't just sit down and really get to the bottom of what i was trying to say so we can articulate this paragraph to to say what it means versus saying the same thing over and over so there's a lot that you that you lose there i've met those people who are real a lot bigger names where somebody listens to their teachings they say hey listen to these four teachings and write a book on it and so this ghostwriter writes a book based on four teachings and he puts his name on it and they sell it like he wrote it and a ghost writer did it it's like yeah it's very it's very common it's very i was i was i don't know why i've always been sort of a cynical person i used to have the saying when i was younger uh just because of my knowing i would say [Â __Â ] makes the world go round and then when i started channeling i thought well maybe i shouldn't say that because i don't want people thinking that my channeling is [Â __Â ] it's very it's real but if everything is [Â __Â ] then nothing is [Â __Â ] because we all create our own bubble of reality and there are people for whom the big name spiritual leader that's the new york times bestseller if that book that wasn't even written by them transforms them in some way then it's fine that's that's the experience that they're allowing for themselves just as a spiritual teacher i'm working hard to build my own following my own audience and i have to tell you tic toc has been a gift out of nowhere i'm coming behind you man give me a call give me a shout out a tag uh tick tock has been fun it's uh oh yeah get on to tick tock because it's uh it's light-hearted it's a great facebook is is murder death kill facebook is the is is nasty right now and i go to tick tock and i'm laughing and i'm crying laughing and i'm showing my wife yeah facebook is the world is ending it's terrible it's awful where's your mask all of that crap yeah tick tock is is just the wild west of all kinds of [Â __Â ] everybody allowing their their their own expression to come out and if you don't like it it's just a swipe away from moving past it and i don't even i think i follow like three people on talking to actually people that i know but i get a thousand new connections a day on tick tock it's crazy and people are loving the message i've gotten good at the little one minute bite i don't channel them there channeling is something i can't do in one minute i can't control them in that way but i can control my message in a minute and it and it really lands and i've got some videos on there that have 250 000 plus views and i'm like wow i'm getting these thoughts out to this whole new audience that i've never connected with before it's a very cool thing there's a whole thread of tick tock now that is spiritual tick tock and that has manifestation ones it blew up the um the little meme yeah it's funny because that app was all about supposed to be about singing and duets and all this stuff and now it's about it's about recipes it's about you know young kids dancing it's about you know old farts like me going on sharing spirits i don't know if you can you can't see it nobody can see it you have to go follow him go to a stream of david on uh tick tock 29 000 followers um what what's up with the uh the uh image the icon the green icon the painting the shrek you know it's funny because i have all this slick branding right and i go on tick tock i think okay this is kind of a cool younger uh i don't want to have my corporate looking logo on here and somebody that listens to my podcast made that uh picture of me they sent it in and at first i was kind of like why am i green and my beard is blue that's so odd but then it really looked like me and i thought oh she's like looking at aura and and so i'm like she's seeing something that you know and that's what that's how she's interpreting and it's really cool so when i joined tick tock on a whim it was like two months ago i um i just popped that picture in there as my icon and it seems to be working so i'm just leaving it cool see i'm the stream of david everywhere but tick-tock is where i'm having the most fun right now yeah i know right i need to uh i've got a couple little videos nothing just a little silly videos but uh i have fun it's taking up a lot of my time lately watching other people's stuff laughing oh yeah no i would rather watch tick-tock than television for sure and you can get sucked in and spend a good hour just flipping through videos you have to kind of stop yourself sometimes but yeah i've learned a lot of things on take talk yeah it's interesting and uh the algorithms you know shows you what you're watching you know like it kind of it kind of tails it's a cool platform because if you stop and watch something you're going to get more of that you're right and if you don't like something you flip past it you're not going to get as much of it you almost don't need to specifically follow unless you really want to follow somebody true yes i want to make sure there's all kind of just the creativity the creativity you know yeah and uh and we have these yeah there's a chicken there her name is uh israel reed she she probably has less than 100 000 followers her voice is amazing she does covers of elton john wow incredible incredible incredible she's going to be huge on there i i kind of feel like wow i discovered this person that no one's heard of and she's just this amazing talent but there's a few on there like that man that's so much funny stuff there's just one guy he's got his on there with his monkey he just has a monkey and he takes his monkey out in public and is and it's just there he's filming his connection with this monkey and he's funny and it's like i just i love watching this guy go out into the woods and let his monkey go and his monkey will just he'll come back to him he'll go to walmart and film his money his monkey will go play on stuff at walmart and come back it's just i have to check that out i haven't seen it yes i mean there's just a whole bunch of anything you want man like you said like the universe like appears to you when it becomes real it's kind of like that with your social media in your feed there was a documentary on on netflix and i forgot the name of it but it was about the algorithms and how it's being swayed and ad revenue and it's being detailed because you've clicked on these like you know you can go deep into your facebook settings and it they pick what um pretty much what religious preference you are but what political affiliation you are too without you even saying it they know that you do an angry face on you you did an angry face on 17 trump videos and you like 20 biden videos okay we know and so they'll label you and they'll start curating content to you on those preferences and stuff and like it's so weird of how like everything it shows itself to you it's what you like you like trump videos you like this it's here's more facebook's the biggest marketing machine in the world now yeah and it feels like it too unfortunately and it's it's really hampered the experience of being on there now you have other competitors are coming along and of course the first thing facebook does is try to gobble them up and acquire them like they did instagram and i have to appreciate the fact that tick tock avoided that but of course now the government's even getting involved willing to control it which is sad and you know talk about living in a free country yeah you start to question that when you things like that but you know tick tock right now is is relatively untainted and it's it's still cool and it's fun enjoy it while it is what it is you see your ads but your ad is again there's no five second rule you just swipe past the ad if you don't want to yeah you can just yeah you can just pop off of anything unlike you know youtube you've got to sit through two ads now remember when it was one now it's two ads on a lot of videos you gotta sit through before you can watch whatever it is you want to watch but i don't have cables so i like to watch youtube just because of the i like randomness so much more than watching a tv program uh even netflix necessarily so yeah i know i search i'm big into youtube like i'll pull it up on the tv and my wife's like oh we're browsing youtube but there's some good stuff man there's some good original content that people are making like um you know i vice digging the vice like what they're doing um just a lot of stuff think about it we are all able to create content now through self-published books through podcasts through youtube that's how the world is going now we don't have to get into the club to get what we want out there anymore and it's not some producers deciding who gets to sing and who gets to act and who gets to share their information and who gets to be on the radio anymore it's it's all open feed and you go out and find your audience do your thing and you know the powers that be don't like it but they're not stopping it at this point you can't stop it and that's that's why it's good that it's monetized because the fact that they figured out how to monetize it means it will continue to be unfortunate exactly exactly because they can get a cut now yeah right yeah as long as i can make money then you can all go be as free as you want and share whatever you would think that they would have left alex jones up though there's much ad revenue that he was spending and he was generating you know and not just him but so many other people what was he yeah yeah exciting well i think he was he was hitting too close to home for certain people there was no amount of ad revenue that was going to be worth it because they were going to be exposed i think there's some truth to some of that stuff yeah not all of it but some of it certainly oh yeah yeah you uh you got to play by their rules we'll be on here talking and somebody will say words or i'll get asked questions and i'm trying not to say certain trigger words because i knew that i'm going to get demonetized um yeah say that word you know or somebody's gonna hear cussing a lot even though i'm cool with it i don't care like oh they're gonna they're gonna pull the monetization like you know have to go back and edit it or something you know they got rules man you got to play by their rules i always say if someone's putting content out that gets banned that's the first thing we should pay attention to why is this being banned why is this being pulled down you know what are they saying that's so dangerous to the public that we can't hear it and that's the thing that i you know i don't want to go too deep down the rabbit hole of the conspiracy theory because again we create our own reality and if you're going down the rabbit hole of some uh you're you're feeding it but at the same time if somebody's sharing something and and all of the stuff that was being shared the problem that i had with it is that all of these people are being implicated and they're not speaking out for themselves so if you are being called out on something and it's not true why do we have all these people not standing up and say if somebody said something about me you know that that i was doing and i'm not going to get too detailed i don't get you in trouble either here but uh you know if somebody said that i was doing something you know illegal or immoral or awful or horrible you know i'm not going to stand up you're not talking about are you yeah what's that you talking about naco medicine for the people i don't know if you talk about his situation he's a spiritual artist no no no i don't i don't i there's a lot of stuff i don't pay attention to so there's a whole lot of stuff i'm just not going to know uh but i i do uh i have people that are in my mastery program that have gone deep into all of that stuff and they like to talk to the stream about it so i'm exposed to all of that and they're talking to the stream about it and it is interesting you know we're living in an interesting time when a lot of things everything negative eventually bubbles to the surface to be detuned right and we're seeing that you know we're seeing celebrities you know getting called out and these negative things about them their images are being shattered and it seems like the lockdown or the reset as i like to call it is causing a lot of that stuff to bubble up and presenting itself for us to to to see clearly it's always happened though as far as like you know your enemies not your enemies but your idols are falling i mean those are that's the story of pride you know what i'm saying and arrogance and money and nobody can touch me yeah you know i mean pride coming forward yeah well the more the more you're on the pedestal and the more you're you're you're appraised in this world the more people start to have to pick that apart because at the end of the day they understand that you're so human and you have flaws and we all go through this vibrational flow yeah so they they sort of say okay you can't be that perfect let's go find what's wrong and then very often you uncover some pretty big things that are wrong of course ego plays a role in that because you have somebody and i'll use ellen as an example you know that that had good intentions certainly with a lot of things that she did and that she just blew up people really loved her got huge and now she's saying that it's true that she had a rule that no one's allowed to make eye contact with her like good lord you know what happens in your life that you get to this point where you think you're so special that no one's allowed to make eye contact with you uh you know it's it's it's a little nuts so she sort of dipped over into that she created her own contrast though her life was going so well she dipped down in a lower vibration and dipping down in a lower vibration she created a disruption for herself it's a process of creation it's called being human so all she is is human and it just shows that she created this disruption and what is she going to do with it now yeah she can retreat and go and hide or she can push forward and show that there's another side to her that people do like yeah right with all of us it's probably this is the side of me that you most people don't like you know and sometimes it comes out on the podcast if like somebody asks my opinion on a matter and i give it to you like man i liked it up until that opinion man why'd you have to go and ruin it for me or whatever that's the thing like we're so complex you only get for most people you only get one side or you only get to talk about one thing or whatever but then you find out other things and it kill for some people it kills the magic you know um because you've seen somebody on that pedestal or or you when you think of ellen it's only the dancing smiling joking ellen it's not the tyrant alan that is off camera you know right well it goes back to to that um you know the the the gold standard new york times best-selling spiritual teacher blah blah blah has this perfect image and then you know when you're in the business you start talking to people that have worked for them because you're hiring them to do something for you and you hear a very different story that's why whenever i have something negative that happens in my life i go right onto my podcast and talk about i had identity theft a few months ago and i went right on and of course a lot of people were like oh no you're teaching law of attraction and i'm listening to you but you're manifesting identity theft that's terrible well no it's not because what i'm telling you is yes i had identity theft i found appreciation for it within an hour of finding out about it and solved it within two days yeah and it was a flow that highlighted something in my business in my personal life that i needed to fix and because i actually went and found appreciation for the precision with which these people stole my identity was brilliant they put a lot of effort into it i actually started appreciating them while i was on hold for an hour with my bank to solve it and in my finding appreciation for it it was solved by this happened on a saturday at 7 00 p.m by monday morning it was done solved all money back everything changed whole past new passport system much more complex but it's not unmanageable at the end of the day and it wasn't a big deal i actually look back and just think it was kind of funny at this point so anytime something like that happens in my life i always go and share it but my ego side says well you want to be this big spiritual teacher new york times bestseller maybe you shouldn't share that stuff and you need to put yourself out there as perfect well the ship has sailed i'm not perfect and i'm not going to put myself out there as perfect because we're not here to be perfect we're here for the contrast and that's what my message is all about i'm actually setting myself up to to be the imperfect uh spiritual teacher so that i can do whatever the hell i want and you create that lane and it works out um i talked about the other day but with somebody on here but um years ago when i was like you know doing my music my spiritual music and doing the podcast and it looks so professional it looks good and it looks like it's a big deal like you would a lot so with that being said a lot of people thought that i was doing it full-time that i was just making good money off of music and making good money off the podcast and stuff but my reality was i was going to a dead-end job that i hated every day and my only release of my one of the only times i was happy was when i was doing my music or doing the podcast and i would tell people you know i'm a full-time truck driver i drive anywhere from 12 to 14 16 hours a day and my friends of mine were like hey man you probably shouldn't tell people that because it kills the magic like they look to you like this guru they look to you like this but you're really a truck driver you know and it's like not being open and honest about it's who i am man i said i get where you're coming from though because like i know it's sad there's empathy like you want like your favorite rapper is a garbage truck driver or something you know and like you wanna maybe maybe you'll wanna support me now let you know that i don't have this huge bank account because my podcast looks good and the music looks good it doesn't bring in much money at least in those days um it was i was struggling you know what i'm saying and and i didn't want to be where i was but you know faking it till you make it or trying to only let them see the good sides of you you know but if you're if you're sharing your authentic self with your audience most people are innately going to get that i think and i think now more than ever especially younger generation because everybody is born up to speed with the time they're born into they have a built-in bs meter and they have no space for anyone who isn't authentic people love authenticity now and when you are authentic about your problems about your challenges about what your life really is you're you're going to connect with a whole different audience that just isn't looking for some false prophet everything's perfect and everything's going to be perfect and i had some guy that wanted to be on my podcast um and he wrote some book about law of attraction it was supposed to be the foremost book of law of attraction and i went and checked him out and i'm thinking i'm not getting the vibe that this person is is manifested this brilliant life so you're telling me that you are the end-all guru of law of attraction and you know you're you're you're begging to come on a show to talk about you're doing all this different stuff i just didn't like the vibe of the whole thing it was just like you're not allowing the flow and you're not your whole vibe is not appealing on that level because it seems very desperate and forced and yet your whole thing is about law of attraction and people that that understand the universal law of creation the more forced and desperate and needy you are about something the more you're just chasing it away and when you just sort of relax and go with the flow and just allow the universe to take care of you and flow through your negative and positive life is so much more enjoyable and you actually end up getting everything that you want even things that you didn't know you wanted yeah um that's that's the beautiful thing about it um just being open and honest i mean things shifted for me when i became um authentic you know and and just again with going back to the story of who you are and how it's different for me it's like you know whether it's talking about the psilocybin mushroom experiences or talking about my faith in christ like my religious beliefs and whatever lane that is i kind of made my own lane right and uh but it was about being open and honest because both both of those sides will say hey you got to take one or the other it's the jesus of the mushrooms like it's the jesus or the aliens it's the jesus of the spirituality wanted to say no like this is my story all of it every single piece of it and once i owned that and i wasn't ashamed of it or afraid of what you were going to think about me if you're going to let me on your podcast because you don't like that i mean i have people even with my book you know it's in it's weird lane as well because um it's it's in occult circles and it's in some christian circles and so the the uh the occult people i get in there by jordan maxwell one of the grandfather of occultism in in america um or grandfather godfather both of those terms that has been said um but the the sovereignty of god that god word oh yeah we can't this is a religious book there's too much religion so i've been like you know shunned by uh different people in those communities as well for uh you know being either too religious or too cold or too mystical or whatever the case is so but it whatever here i am this is me just a little bit of all of it you know um owning your identity who you are walking in it not being afraid of it and making your own lane nobody invited me to this party so you can't kick me out i made my own lane i'm here it's working and i'm not alone there's many people with us at this contagious that authenticity is contagious i was jealous over it i was covetous of it of seeing people uh get to wake up and do what they love for a living tell stories of like i have a couple friends illuminati congo's a good friend of mine he's an artist he does breath work he gets he makes a living getting up working on music leading breath work sessions writing books and i would see that while i was driving my truck i was like man i want to do that the finances wouldn't line up i would look at um joe rogan and joe you get a little bit of everything from joe rogan you're going to get his guru spiritual side you're going to get his dude guy side you know you're going to get a little bit of everything but he it's him this is who he is it's his authentic self and then he has a really good vibe i i i like his show because i like comedy and i like his exactly you could do both right you can hear both in the same conversation just like this like you're gonna get both and and one thing that was real big for me is like our tattoo artists i got a bunch of tattoos i would go to the tattoo shops and those guys were so light-hearted they get to they get to draw for a day and they're making damn good money i mean you know really good money 30 000 a month some of them you know what i'm saying just by drawing on people they're good at what they do but they love what they're doing they're making great money they're light-hearted they're telling jokes it's like i would what would i give to be able to wake up and do what i love for a living what if i got to work on a song for for the day what if i got to wake up and create a program create a guided meditation do a podcast talk with a beautiful soul like david you know what i'm saying for a living and get paid to do it and find a way to support myself financially it seems so far away but a part of that was in that authenticity of that is my story this is what i want to do and i'm going to create this lane so i can do it and i did and you did and many other people are doing it now they're seeing that it's something attainable you may have to cut back on some things you may have to get some smaller bills take out a smaller mortgage get a regular car or whatever the case is for the time being to get started maybe not but it's possible to create that life that you and i was jealous of those people like i was inwardly like man i wanna i wanna hang out with those guys like i wanna i wanna i wanna wake up and do that but i used it in a good way i didn't become bitter i didn't become angry i didn't become mad at god you know what i'm saying i believe you know what i can do it too if they can do it i can do it and it may look a little bit different but i did it i'm doing it and anybody out there under the sound of our voice can do it as well that's the beautiful thing about it belief is everything and when i jumped out of the airplane and left that job i had no idea how i was going to survive financially because i i spent money i had some savings but not a lot and everything just magically unfolded for me and it hasn't been perfect there's been twists and turns but every twist and turn has caused me to go deeper and create something even better and now two and a half years into it i'll never turn back i will never go back to working for somebody else again i will never do something that i don't love doing every day of my life and it doesn't i would rather i it's funny i had a a very difficult period for a little while in my business because i i do generate a lot of money in my training programs my tai boot camp and i got really slow for a little bit and right in the middle of the slow period i had a headhunter call and it was a half million a year job in my old industry and i told her i would live in a box under the freeway before i would ever go back in that industry again and she said wow what happened to you what's going on i told her and she bought my book that was really funny that i i was so proud of myself that i wasn't even remotely tempted at this difficult time where i had to sort of you know and of course my business was fine after that but this this kind of downturn in my business i wasn't even slightly tempted to go on an interview or talk to these people i burned that bridge i'm very happy that i did i do not regret it at all yep and you want you and you know we hear your story all the time it's nothing new you know people leaving those big corporate jobs and making a killing and money but they're just miserable now they're you know they're not making anywhere close to what they're making but they're happy they get to wake up and and do what they love for a living they wasn't put here to pay bills they wasn't here to accumulate wealth you find out that the wealth thing comes when you let it flow to you and through you as long as you're continuing to step into that i call it a stream a river not trying to hold it or hoard it but you're allowing it to come to you and through you it just continues to come in increasing and in greater measure measures from multiple sources right so that's that's just that's part of it as well um and that's the beautiful thing once you learn these principles and you start walking in them you can apply them they're they're in the bible right i learned the bible before i learned law of attraction and any any other universal laws so my my mind is like fixated on the scripture so now when i'm reading about or learning about uh these universal laws i'm like oh that's the scripture says this oh wow it's all these little things here jesus said this if i believe it i will see it okay you know if i confess it you know the core message is definitely all rooted in universal law and a lot of people take it and twist it very different things we see that all over the place you know the the mainstream brand of christianity has transformed so much since i was a child yeah and i i know we've got to wrap up i don't have time to get into all that it could be a whole other show but it's it's it's very interesting how it's transformed uh to this mainstream thing that i see now that is so far away from how i was raised in the church for sure and it's it is changing and hopefully it's changing for the better i think they're losing a lot of power um they're having they they have to be what's going in two different extreme directions they have to be more accepting because the mystical church is uh uh um emerging again the church started as a mystical movement and it's going moving away from the commercialized version back to the core and while other people are moving into this this crazy direction that has nothing to do with anything that the jesus teachings were about the christ teachings were about so far off of that and in the name of they say and it's so like where did you get that that's not what i was taught you know so anyway yeah yep that's i mean such is life you know with with all of it and uh just making sure that you do your part and what you get out of this mouth what you get out of these teachings listen take it take it to the bank um as far as what you believe because people try to tie you in oh you believe this this and this like hold on no you have channelers on your show you believe in that no i don't what are you talking about you know because you because you watched a different channel or who who has all these different rules and this is how you do it and stuff and like or the same thing with the religious people or you had a christian person or you have a gay person on you believe what are you talking about projecting on the people and i mean that's one thing about dealing with so many different beliefs and it's just people man but it's beautiful everybody has something beautiful to bring to the table and um we got to stop projecting and that's one thing i found that the religious community does and it's just people though it's religious people it's spiritual community as well oh you're a christian or you're saying god or whatever you know you're not welcome here you know we have boxes man and i try to destroy those boxes that we try to put people in and people try to put us in you know yeah i always i always uh go to the big tent you know everybody has their own bubble of reality they create everybody if you find what works for you you should go with that the streams teachings are certainly not for everyone and even they when i'm channeling they will say if these words do not resonate you're right to move on from them it's not for you at least not at this time and there's no one-size-fits-all we're all unique independent beings having this unique experience here and it all fits together you know every one of us is a little little cog in that wheel that that turns and creates life and creates expansion good stuff well david if people want to check out your work man and uh resonate with what you do and i see you have some some meditations as well you got a bunch of cool stuff on your website let people know where they can go to follow your work and check out your stream and podcasts and stuff yeah i uh the stream of david everywhere the stream of david podcast the stream of david on tick tock on instagram there's a facebook page uh my website is the stream of david.com and also i have a free guided meditation i give away that's um i call it source connect and it's backed by acoustical music from christophelani uh he was a drummer for air supply i don't know if you know him he's exclusively spiritual musician today and he creates this experience without using digital music it's all acoustic it's very cool in his music go check him out but his music backs my guided meditations and my meditations are all channeled so i have one called source connect that connects you with that source vibration that's already in you but it's a magical transformative experience if you text awaken the word awaken to 760-284-7665 you get a link to go get that guided meditation for free nice and there's some other stuff in there as well cool cool yeah there were some people here in the chat earlier who was like yeah i had a session with david david's awesome i love when i uh i love when our uh audiences overlap because they do right you see some oh yeah that's one of my favorite somebody said uh i think it was debbie though shout out to debbie debbie's like yeah two of my favorite people hanging out so shout out everybody watching and hanging out well i just want to say thank you so much for having me on and i appreciate the audience and everybody's sticking around and and that's a great conversation i do appreciate it good stuff man i know we're just scratching the surface but real light-hearted good stuff uh you know enjoyed speaking with you i will say you know seeing your stream and everything that you do i thought at first that you would have probably been um into like the stream of david would have been something had to do with the key of david the uh with with sound healing and stuff especially with the uh sacred geometry and stuff behind you as well because that's a big thing in the mystical movements like learning the key of david to get healing and stuff so i didn't know if the uh you had any any information on it nothing nothing specifically to do with that but i'm finding that all of these things that i'm drawn to because i haven't gone out and received a lot of external spiritual teaching i think that's what makes the stream's message sort of raw and unique and and very functional but i keep coming across all these other things that sort of put all these pieces of the puzzle together where i'm realizing that yeah this is absolutely part of a bigger bigger puzzle that's that i'm just a part of i mean that's what we're talking about the bible and spirituality and all this stuff it's it's you know god source is saying one thing and people are just articulating it different and so that's why you see these different things coming up for everybody what's true for you is true for this person now how you interpret and how you uh interact with that energy applied to your life how you are you a victim or or are you a victor do you learn universal law or do you reject it like it's for everybody to see what you're gonna do with it and uh the beautiful thing is this when we can do that stuff in truth and honesty and in love and not project or act like we are to know it all you know i'm with you that's one thing that i i don't like i i can't learn under somebody who can't be taught you know what i'm saying like and and i don't want to promote somebody who tries they're trying to corner the market like you're talking about this is the this is the only book you need when it comes to the law of attraction you know don't listen to those guys they're a little off check out this book it tells you why they're off you know that kind of stuff yeah nobody has a monopoly on this stuff for sure exactly i come from that in religion and and it's in it's in spirituality too so it means a lot to be open and honest well david appreciate it man thanks for hanging out with me we have to do it again sometime all right thanks derek i really appreciate it goodbye brother many blessings david strickle ladies and gentlemen the stream of david good stuff enjoyed it good talk um speaking of ellen we mentioned ellen right and she's in all this controversy somebody said here we were talking about ellen like laughing and all that kind of stuff and so robin said that the only time that you see ellen uh smile is when she's humiliating someone else so that's interesting i can see that though when she makes fun of somebody or i'm sure there's other times she smiles though right or laughs when she sees a little kid's face light up when they surprise her with their favorite celebrity or whatever obviously when she plays jokes on people she's a prankster she smiles too i think we all have similar sides man just again being being letting it be in the light but how much of that do do you you know let be in the light that side of you that's a savage straight up savage you know everybody listen he saw me hear no stories about those people that you see this beautiful picture of them and but then when you meet them or you hear stories about them working with people behind the scenes it's a totally different thing um as far as like not that you just get another aspect or another side of them but you get a um a demonic side if you will a side of them that is evil that is is mean mean-spirited somebody who's sho is trying to be a spiritual healer guru nice person and then you see the real them and the real them is a uh off camera uh mean person that was said to me i know i talked about this a couple times but the uh there was a christian minister juanita bynum she was a prophetess and uh i loved her teachings a lot about intimacy and prayer and stuff like that and i listened to a lot of her teachings really looked up to her seemed really spiritual got the uh spiritual music playing in the background and stuff when she does her um preaching and all that where's different she would go out there wearing robes and so i just what they showed us on tv i really liked it like their teachings and stuff but a friend of mine worked behind the scenes for tbn the christian broadcasting trinity broadcasting network which was the christian channel um and so he was the cameraman and he had to film her a good bit of times and he was like i know i don't know if i tried to send him a video or something like that with her and he said oh man that woman that woman's wild bro that woman's mean i was like what are you talking about this woman is so spiritual man have you not listened to her teachings and i guess he hadn't listened to her teachings but he listened to her he you know met her behind the scenes and she would be demanding people to go get her water and when the water ain't back she's like demanding that being too slow and talking down to people and all that i've seen a lot of ministers do that that's crazy it's something it's that um complex where they um you know think that they're better than people a lot of them do it trump does it you know power you know celebrity renown does it you know you're not like the rest of the peasants joe rogan does it on his podcast you hear stuff here and there where he's like making fun of people who change oil or he's making fun of people who work at rite aid or something and whatever um and i would hear little stuff slip every now and then like hold on what's that was a dig you're digging on the guy who's changing oil um you know shut up and make my burger those kind of things that people at mcdonald's shut up and make my birth you hear little jokes and little stuff that slip and so you see these people they get corrupted by power they get corrupted by money trump you know you hear coming out and coming out of his talk a lot of people they're they're just different you get in the conspiracy theories and where these people come from and who they really are now that's a whole nother topic um but or unless they were just privileged or corrupted by power and money you know that could be it too but a lot of these people operate and think a lot differently than we do so to try to think that they have the same amount of empathy that they have the same amount of drive or whatever it is that they've whatever they've built it it does change you like your positions and levels and things like that does change you and changes relationships and i have relationships now with or or lack of with people that when i first started that um i don't have any more and they're not in my life anymore and they would probably look at what i'm doing and say that i've changed and that the money or the podcast has changed me or something but it's like when you're when you're moving up there's things that that for me is like things i had to let go of and i couldn't do this anymore i couldn't participate in these things anymore i couldn't let you be so vocal about you know your dislike for me or for being so critical about me and making me doubt myself and all that kind of stuff you know what i'm saying there's a point in time where you just gotta shut those doors man so people change and you got to make sure that you're changing for the better and not changing for the worst you're going to change there's people that's with you right now that next year they won't be with you you know whether that ends in a graceful way or a bad way it can happen both ways but it they can't be with you you know it's it's sad and i've uh i've had to um go through that many times dealing with spirituality and dealing with religion for sure deal with it more than i want to that's why i would rather just watch tick tocks and tell jokes and be light-hearted but when we start talking about belief systems and religion and all this kind of stuff listen you say the one wrong thing they're gone and many of them to never hear from them again you'll never hear from them again people that you hung out with i have people slept in my house people that we went on vacation with and i probably never hear from them again we were close but i said one wrong thing i did something wrong or they did something wrong and then this is over and a lot of it comes from religion religious ideas or you believe i thought you said you didn't believe in jesus no more no i never said that i was under depression that you wasn't a christian no i'm a christian dude i believe okay they're gone what you know it's the weirdest thing what religion spirituality too it's both so i hate it it comes with the territory it's part of it god bless those friends who come into your life and they stick closer than a brother like and they're willing to um you know get past the facade of whatever this you know is that that other people see whether it's a persona or whether it's a job or um they just they're there for you not because of who you are that was a a big one that i'm learning and i i don't know how i'm going to really learn it or really imp imply it or apply it um is the fact that like i meet a lot of you know i try to make friends with my fans and a lot of people you know maybe either become fans of the podcast the fans of the music and then like i'm trying to hang out you know we're doing retreats together we're doing a lot of stuff but they don't always end well because when you when they become a really close uh friend and they were a fan the moment that they're not a fan anymore of what you're saying or what you're doing a lot of times you lose that friend and i'm noticing that too and it's just it's hard you know that the people come and go and realizing the real people in your life so i i remember even back in the day having friends that i would try to run them off with the stuff i believe i just hit them with everything i remember just being on the phone with them because i knew that dealing with religion they're just waiting for that one thing that they disagree with so they'll leave and i was just like i just was bearing it all and it may be you know a couple days time or whatever but i would talk to one of my friends of mine and i would be like well you know i really believe this i don't believe that this is in the bible i don't believe that that is going on i don't believe that and it got to a point where he's like okay and he took it home and he researched it and talked to his family about it and everything and and even though they whether they didn't believe it or there was some truth to what i was saying or whatever it didn't care like that he wasn't there um for that they were like legit friends like damn what you believe like you know what i'm saying like i'm not here for that i'm not oh i'm not here for what i can get from you where i can be seen with you and pictures and stuff and it's so weird because i don't i don't view myself as being like a big celebrity or or nothing like that but but some people do you know and that's the scary thing because i want to be friends with everybody especially if we like if you're into the podcast and into the music then there's gonna be some things that we can connect on if you like what i'm talking about on the podcast you like what i'm talking about in my music then you know we can build on it because i like it too [Laughter] why not talk about this stuff so for me it's like you know i found a lot of friends in that but again like once they're not friend fans anymore then they're not fans they're not fans anymore they're not friends or whatever so sucks um growth such as growth you know learn from your mistakes learn from the mistakes of others moving forward um you know your best days are ahead of you man don't let nobody put you in those boxes bust them open get out of them um you know lauryn hill i've been talking a lot about lauryn hill man because there's she did that long hill unplugged back in 2000 and it's so powerful she's got a song called i get out and it's talking about i get out of all your boxes and you're trying to put me in these bondage and these chains of of being this person who you think i am and that's not me so being able to break free from those boxes is huge also confession and just living in the light like we're talking about today be living as your authentic self versus living as a persona or the perception or expectation that others put on you that you have to perform when you're around like around the christian people i have to be a christian around the mystics i got to be mystical around those who don't believe in anything i can't talk about anything you know what i'm saying just being being who you are around those people versus being who you really are which is a combination of all of it i'll say um breaking free of those boxes so that you're authentic it is you know what you see is what you get and there's a lot to it though there's no way you're gonna get it in one episode there's no way you're gonna get it from one song you know or one time meeting you or hanging out or whatever it's just finding those people you resonate with enjoy friendships enjoy people while they're in your life for the those moments of time and try to make good memories in hopes that they'll remain good memories don't let the good memories come back to haunt you right that sucks i mean even like if you have a loved one that passed away and so all of your good memories with them is like grounded in the fact that they're not here anymore you know and sometimes it happens with the friendships we have our friendships of people who are alive you know oh man we used to do this or we watch a movie and you remember you was with them when you seen the movie and told jokes and everybody laughed at this joke and then now that nostalgia is like bad nostalgia because on a memory that you have that person used to make you smile now it's grounded in the fact that they're not here anymore and what do you do to get past that how do you move on because it's a lot of people it's not just that one person there's 17 people who came in and out of your life people grow people change man some people come into your life just for a season and so i say i appreciate them while they're here make those memories don't take it personal right the four agreements it's not personal it's not about you most of the time you represent something in their life that they're insecure about or they haven't come to the end of or whatever um you know what i'm saying so just being open and honest about who you are and your your truth and uh don't let nobody project on you shout out to everybody hanging out in the chat see some beautiful people here some comrades um richie shout out benjamin benjamin is big on that uh transgender thing but what's wrong with it though is it someone he says ellen is a male and laugh that frazzle drip too horrible as always i want everyone to repent but i cannot promote that being at all or you can't promote ellen no i'm not i'm not promoting ellen i hope you that's that's the funny thing two people say that you're promoting them whether you're talking about them talking about it or that again we're talking about the gay thing like having a gay guest on here you're promoting you're promoting being gay no i'm not promoting being gay talking to a dude who's gay like that's his sexuality not mine like you're promoting gay people i'm not promoting gay people i'm promoting a person i'm talking to a person not promoting anything like you know it's crazy people project you're promoting this truthseeker promotes that when i promote it if if i promote it it needs to pay me to promote it i want to make sure that it's paid promotion that i get a cut on promoting something promoting the gay gay agenda or promoting the transgenders come on man listen y'all better recognize man y'all putting these people in boxes again get out them boxes the gay people are getting out those boxes that y'all put them in they're people too they hear from god they love god come on now i know i got people who who don't believe that and i got people who don't believe that that's possible for gay people to hear from god or for gay people to uh um and we i this got me in trouble the other day you know somebody asked me about the you know one of my opinions on this and on that or whatever i try to keep my opinions for the most part on controversial things to myself but this is this should be controversial too because it's a radical love that god loves everybody he loves muslims he loves terrorists you know what i'm saying he loves prostitutes he loves drug addicts he loves gay people why because that's who i am and that's who you are too you fit in one of them or you did at one one part in your life you were a drug addict you were a prostitute listen who do you think jesus hung out with and who would you think he would hang out with today so with that i'm gonna say peace peace guys thanks for hanging out with me benjamin says i ain't doing that my bro i ain't saying you promoting nothing negative i know you're not but but people will will say that though you know what i'm saying that even that i mentioned her name that i'm promoting it or people you know say it about the guests they'll they'll go and look look on like background stuff on guests that guests did you know 20 years ago and that's that's that's too far let's say two years ago something that a guest posted on twitter two years ago and they'll try to like link me to that you you had this guest on here who believes that like what you want me this research to hold twitter for two years to make sure i agree with everything no way i see christ in the diversity now more than ever if i see him anywhere anywhere it's in diversity it's when people have reasons to oppose one another it's when people have reasons to to to to uh uh fight for discord for schisms and they put that aside to come together for the things that they do believe in love truth forgiveness honesty grace all of that that's when i see christ the strongest when you have people who come together knowing they have differences so you know we're not going to talk about our differences that's fine no no no we got to come together because we're right you're wrong you got those people too but christ ain't in that he's not in that man he's in the diversity at least that's where i'm seeing him these days strong because that's my reality a diverse group of people the bible talks about whenever um moses led the people out of uh egypt out of the land of bondage right that he led them out as a mixed multitude you had a little bit of everybody in there there's a little bit lizard colors racist creeds backgrounds you don't think there was gay people being set free out of egypt they know all straight men and women come on man it's eclectic god is eclectic man you gotta get over yourself hey jeffrey jeffrey moody ministries is here with us love you brother uh benjamin also says i love my prostituting sisters equal to all my sisters yeah for sure i mean again that's that's who we are that's who we were you know at one point i don't think we are sinners no longer you know we don't live in sin but um we were sinners you know caught dead in our transgressions but it's what got you out of that did stopping doing that get you out of it no it was grace that empowered you to be able to stop you couldn't stop without the grace you couldn't stop without the forgiveness you understood that you were forgiven and then that forgiveness went down to what the root cause of that manifestation like what causes you to manifest whatever it is that's a character flaw that's killing you which is your sin um whether it's a prostitute selling yourself short selling your body um selling yourself to drug if there's drugs that's eating you up tearing up your teeth you know what i'm saying eating your soul if it's drugs what is the root cause of that symptom like you have the drug is a symptom but it's something that's deeper down and i'm telling you like daddy issues fathers step stand up fathers a lot of that stuff comes up with prostitution find a lot of people that didn't um you know have have fathers in their lives you know you see a lot of people um you know don't want to work you know have no work ethic uh people doing things now that that selling drugs you know what i'm saying that comes from something being okay with hurting other people as long as you're serving yourself that's big come on you ain't y'all ain't never i don't know who i'm preaching to y'all ain't never been strung out on dope y'all ain't never hung out with crackheads y'all ain't never had a uh a gay family member y'all don't come on man i'm talking to somebody that's for sure thank you matthew condes for the donation i hope to meet you someday too brother come to one of these retreats uh benjamin says we are all forgiven as soon as we repent i don't know i don't know i think we i think we're already forgiven and we just don't know it i think that's the the what makes the gospel so um controversial it's like how can a how can a a muslim be forgiven how could a sinner be forgiven you're already forgiven you just don't know it you just don't know it and so i think knowing that causes you it gives you meat it gives you the ability to repent gives you the ability because like repentance ain't even i don't even think that's on your own power man because peop repentance is like not just saying that you're sorry repentance is not doing that thing anymore and how can you do that on your own power so if that was so if repentance came before forgiveness that's putting the cart before the horse that forgiveness gives you the ability and the grace to repent and to forgive yourself and that gives you the ability to stop doing those things that are killing you if we could if we could save ourselves and if we could repent then we wouldn't need forgiveness because we've already figured it out we've already learned how to quit smoking crack we've already learned how to quit cursing we've already learned how to quit stealing because we learned it so there's no need for because you're not a transgressor anymore but you need that forgiveness that empowers you to get yourself together and that's the message of the gospel it's scandalous but it's there for you the love of god that is for everyone regardless of race creed or sexuality god's god loves you with an everlasting love nobody could ever take that away from you and if nobody told you that today let me be the first that there is a god whose forgiveness is to you for you he forgives you he wants a relationship with you he'll change your life and um make everything beautiful all the things that seem to be against you you'll turn them around in your favor god's been working on you through circumstances and situations calling you back to him all you got to do is say yes father i just thank you for everybody who's watching today everybody hanging out under the sound of my voice and enjoying this podcast today ask for your grace and for your peace and for your mercy just to extend to them and
