your source for spiritual and inspirational music paintings and media the show is designed to help you grow in your walk with Christ and advance the kingdom of heaven this is the truth seeker podcast excited and delighted to be with you guys here today for another amazing episode where we cover all things spiritual we leave no stone unturned we're gonna get to the bottom of what it does everybody has a story everybody has a piece of this amazing puzzle this tapestry if you will and as we bring them together we step back and formulates a picture man are you beginning to see it the more people that you talk to the more that you step out of the confines of whatever small structure you're in most of us has come out of religion and things like that and we've only kind of been able to talk to like-minded people people who believe exactly what like we believe people who look like we look you know and all of these kind of things but when once you start talking to people from different backgrounds and belief systems and structures and things like that you find out look we're not so different after all you know Christianity I was always taught what mate what made me different than everybody else and what makes you peculiar in those things and they're beautiful right there's so much that sets us apart with our own unique beliefs and individuality and things like that but it was almost used as a weapon to keep you divided from people you know instead of looking at what makes you the same and that's something that was never taught when within the confines of religion and so as we begin to speak about that it's like setting people free just talking about what makes us the same and seeing that pursuit and that hunger and just the human experience man everybody's going through it nobody's exempt and that's what makes us the same man all of these things that you're going through you're not alone other people have been there there's books about it they've written about the very thing that you're experiencing there's people who are helping to heal the trauma and work through the pains and those things that we're feeling and things that we're going through and that's what this podcast is about talking to people from all walks of life man trying to find that thread that makes us all the same and it's good stuff and you don't have to abandon your individuality your unique your peculiar your different it's good bring it to the table let your freak flag fly that's what it's about what it's a huge thank you to everybody support my work via patreon this show is a

one up there man let's just go ahead and jump into today's conversation my guest is Michelle focus Michelle how's it going hello I'm doing great how are you Derick oh I'm doing well why are you hailing from today Sedona Arizona us now and you're talking about mystical experiences the paranormal the supernatural and you're in Sedona come on man yeah I think I jumped out of the old life I think we all have a purpose you know and mine just welled up so strong I couldn't say no to it and I just put myself all into faith and I came and that's what I'm doing here in Sedona now so you broke free of the corporate life and it's correct what were you doing before that was a scientist a researcher for corporate 500 500 company you shall rename nameless didn't fulfill you though right it taught me a lot it was great that's just it did you this is one of the beauties though is that we're always being guided to our greatest gifts and through our greatest gifts we're always being guided by this internal feeling and when we don't believe in it or love ourselves enough or trust ourselves enough things will start showing up at our challenges right and to get you to really follow your own inner guidance and for me it was illness after illness injury after injury I had shingles in my eyeball six months of searing pain and all of those reminders to me that I wasn't in the work that fulfilled my purpose there was no one's fault I had done that work because that was bright degrees were in science and math but always to fulfill this purpose of helping people heal was always my calling the question always was though where is the money right where's the money when you're doing the heals with everybody who's watching right now there they have a very similar story but it's where's the money where's the money how do i how do I pay do how do I keep the lights on you know keep the lights on that is it that is it and what I would suggest is to listen to the calling first if I had done that I would have seen there was an opportunity for me to leave early and go on and do the work and be supportive fear did set in and I end up getting injured now for me the little bit of difference is that when I grew up I always saw the spirit and they always spoke to me about doing this work so I kind of knew already that I absolutely needed chief to be aligned to this work no matter what and that I would be so later I had a near-death experience and I saw that everyone is supported everyone is supported they all have gifts they all have unique gifts and like a divine impression okay and it is there to support them and the right people do show ah or that and I was just supposed to be trusting it so at the end of my corporate life when things were getting worse and worse and the stress was so high I was getting illnesses I took a chance and the first thing I did is I was told that our team could not go on vacation and even though they said our team could not go on vacation for several months because of the project that we were doing my inner calling was that I had to go to Bali and within two hours of getting that feeling I booked a ticket to Bali and I went and sat with catuey air from Eat Pray Love and he looked at me and he said why aren't you using your gifts like your true gifts and I asked him what are my gifts and he said well writing but those two wrinkles in between your eyes he said there's two wrinkles those are male and female wrinkles so George to have good relationships and help people have good relationships all of your life are going to be steered to helping people so listen to those pains and make the decision not to live with the pain but with their gifts because God gave you all of these gifts well it reminded me of my near-death experience back in 1999 where I saw that not only are we unique expressions of the divine but we're also being born that's it as if more and more divinity is coming through each of us and the only thing that stops it is this resistance we don't trust it enough so what I decided of one day was just ally and see what happened just see what happened and I spent every dime I hat on this until I had to get another job in Sedona just to support myself but during that time I was finishing the books that I have to give to humanity is that uh is that part of what would your book that's out is uh elephants never lie so is that what the kind of the elephants referring to like healing the trauma and there's no way I can make it around this thing like there's no way I'm gonna be stuck at this job forever is that an elephant that's it that's it it's unconscious a lot of it sometime just because it's gonna inherit it it is pains from past generations durations of starvation fear it's like in our genetics and at the same time it's also from past traumas you know that we that it's hard to look at it it's hard for anyone but everyone has guidance and they have guides and they have masters who do care and look out for them it is just that when that elephant is so big right yeah right so that's one journey to emotional healing elephants never a lot that is about a journey to emotional feeling so you had this experience who ended up leaving your job and you met with a magic man who can who kind of who kind of is funny I like the scripture said it talks about like this lady who met Jesus at the well and and she says come meet a man who told me everything that I had ever done he knew things about her that she were suppressing and he was able to read it and it changed her life and it sounds like you had a similar experience with the holy man you met this man who told you things about yourself that you were suppressing or you didn't know and he spoke on it and it came to the forefront and changed your life forever that's amazing right and and I think we can be those people for other people we could be that holy person in and call out the greatness inside of people and be able to train ourselves to see the greatness and be able to pull it out but going back before that because you had heightened psychic abilities and spirit realm was just so real for you where did it start I like to go back where it started like the childhood stuff did you have any weird things that kind of burst something within you or planted something within you like any paranormal encounters or psychic abilities when you when you was young lots and that's the fun part really I always saw the spirits and I saw energy around people now one of the most important parts is I would go to church with my grandparents most Sundays and the congregation would would be singing as we went in and all of the lights were shining around their heads when we went in and then when it was time for the minister to come up and speak I really don't know what he was saying I was you know four or five years old didn't understand the language but what I noticed was that the lights went off when this minister spoke the lights went off around the heads of people it did not go off around the heads of the children now I thought everyone saw this okay I did not know that I was seeing something other people didn't therefore I thought that they were turning their own whites off on purpose and that it was just the adults so from a very young age watching the energy around people I thought adults were mean because they would do this terrible thing and disconnect from God so what was happening is that they were in joy they were enlightened by their own spirit and by spirit and by God from singing they had hope they had faith right then what I believe what was happening is the minister was then putting some fear in their minds I don't know what he was saying I can't say too that I know he was a really good man but there was a lot in that church that my grandparents went to that's very clear face so I guess that's what was happening so I know I always saw spirits they were always around our house still are around my parents house on that land never thought anything of it most of them were Native Americans they were like just living out their lives sometimes they were very loud and by the time I hit I thought wow I could no longer sleep at night because they were so well so I would have to have the stereo on my television on and all the lights on in my room to drown them out again not thinking anything different about myself then I had an experience where my aunt actually my uncle's wife who I barely knew maybe had better three times shows up in my room she scared me to death I mean really really scared and she needed me to do something for her she needed me to show her this skill that I had that I could twirl the baton I could dance and she wouldn't leave I kept the thing that that covers over my head finally it jumped out of bed grabbed a baton did this the font rolling thing if she left well I told my grandfather the next morning and he said well Betty's not dead well she was they just didn't know it yet okay they found out later that day well for decades I was trying to get to the bottom of why this soul would scare me whereas all these other spirits never scared me and what I've learned through all of my experience is that she was actually holding on to desperation she had been a very abused woman and she took that all out on her own child and I didn't know any of this okay and my family would not admit it to me either until just recently they are finally starting to admit her stop she needed to apologize to a child okay because her son was an adult by that time she needed to apologize to a child she needed a child to know that she cared so that she could have peace with her life okay and that's why she wanted me to twirl and it was her desperation I think that's scared so it wasn't until my early 20s that I learned that other people weren't seeing these spirits and that was a lot through I was a Reiki teacher and I taught meditation and spirits would always show up in the room and I would talk about them and finally someone said you know no one else has seen this and that's that's when I first learned I was in my early twenties the thing is is that there are some spirits that I've experienced that we consider a master you know like Jesus a master of something wisdom grace love whatever it is forget one of them and what forgiveness forgiveness thank you yes yes and I think one of healing was the one that appeared to me when I was somewhere between nine and eleven years old and told me that I had to do this that I would be do doing this in my life and so what I want people to know is that most people have as a part of their purpose Ely they're not just healing themselves their healing humanity just by their own shift in consciousness one person shifting consciousness to loving themselves more being present completely present right forgiving whatever it is literally shifts the consciousness and they have fulfilled a great part of their purpose when these really painful things come up into humanity into their lives whether it's physical emotional relationship whatever it is it was already there in the consciousness somewhere and it appeared because you were strong enough to heal it it is never to break you does that make sense oh yeah yeah I know I'm just amazed at the ripple effects that it has like you're saying just to actually not just for yourself yourself is good right you need to do the healing the inner work but just looking at the ripple effects that everything that you do has good and the bad like we like you know I think I think the bad is kind of the bad shows up a lot right because the consequences seem more severe like if you influence people to do bad or something like but to see like the sphere of influence that you have on on the people around you whether you do bad or you do good and then we get to choose to do good we get to choose to be ourselves we get to choose to walk in freedom and heal humanity and so looking at the ripple effects that that has it's mind-blowing you can get lost in it and it's a good thing to get lost in it like just that just to see the effects of that one good deed almost like just paying it forward or whatever the case is and so man I've seen it in my life and just even with this podcast and family members and friends stepping out of you know dead-end jobs to going in and to like you know putting it out applications to do something that's gonna fulfill them you know because they've been listening to this podcast every day and it's like man it's something that's moving within me when I hear you talking about this when I hear you interview these people who get to wake up and do what they love for a living there's something envious about that but it's I think it's attainable for everybody who wants it if you feel it moving within you if there's a calling within your fits of stiring isn't it not everybody's gonna be stirred to do it not everybody's gonna be a Reiki healer no but not everybody's gonna do a podcast but if you hear these stories in this movement within you then it's for you and people and you can embody it and there's a process and I do think that dealing with the herb dealing with the elephants and the trauma I think that's part of it you know for me it was like going in on a deep journey and in the spirit world and and being shown things that I needed to heal like hey it's almost like just talk with God that says like I've got these things for you but you got to deal with that that and that and it's gonna it's gonna you know however you want to put it poetically you know allow you to reach those higher levels allow you to ass into greater levels you can't come up here holding that stuff it's weighing you down at a different vibrational frequency it's heavy it's real dense and so to come up here and walk in the beauty and the fullness of what I have for you you got to let that heavy stuff go and become lighter and deal with that trauma and and I've done it and I'm doing it you know and so it's catching on and it's so awesome to see the ripple effects and these are only the ones that I know just think about the ones that we don't know just because someone read your book and will they know about the people who comment and reach out you know what about the people who don't and that's the majority is the ones who aren't commenting and sending emails and supporting and things somebody just stay here that episode and it just lights a fire with didn't know it man you know they may not even stick around long term they just might hang out eat eat off of you a little a little while of what you're putting out that good fruit and then they take it and they're on to the next level and because it likes something with them you know that's it that is it that's beautifully said so I could go ahead I could add a little bit about my near-death experience with what you're saying about the healing part of it unless you have something else go ahead yeah yeah Glen my near-death experience was so vast and the amount of learning is so great that my second book is all about it and it can never be put into words the beauty of God and the beauty of who we are I went to spirit to where we are all connected in all one but our spirits there's no place that our spirits or not and I saw the great beings from one part of God that I guess I am connected to right helping humanity but before I got there as soon as I left my body I went through this shadow and as the shadow work it's the shadow that I'm here to largely address and it's nothing to be scared of at all but this is what happens sometime very very long time ago when humans first came I believe what happened was the consciousness shift to the body to the ego and away from God to all white I loved and that that was the fall that's just my belief mm-hmm but whatever happened when I first left my body I saw this shadow that was created by humanity not by any God not okay not by the universe this shadow was created by humans it's not scary because it's just energy but it has the faces of deep what we call demons and and I saw three of month and I stared them I had to stare them in the up I was told to to dissolve them and when I looked in their eyes they were my own creation out of a lack of self-love that I had no idea that I was harbored but they had been sucking the energy out of every part of my life my body my mind relationships even my house okay it is that shadow that sucks the life out of us and it's not our individual oh I want anyone to listen to no it is not your fault it was humanity as a whole over thousands of years and each of us can do our part to dissolve it by loving if you want to talk from it I'm gonna get some water okay yeah you know that that that actually reminds me of something that's called tapas I don't know if you've heard of that and so a tapa is an entity that is consciously created by an individual that you can create it in your mind and and speak to it and give it and give it a name give it a personality a persona and then eventually the the entity that you create almost like an imaginary friend begins to speak back to you and so this beauty that you created is here because of a lack of friendship maybe maybe a just wanting to explore and see if it's real and I really think that the Bible paints pictures like that as well when it talks about demonic spirits or what the Bible calls spiritual strongholds are these ideas and thought forms that we create and if you in I guess if they're personified they can look like hideous creatures and monsters but they're their thoughts and ideas that lie to us about ourselves that lie to us about the divine will of God for our life and say oh you never amount to anything you're just like your father you know these these ideas that just kind of kind of sink in and in that's that's the interesting thing about it these thought forms and tapas and ideas that are created in the mind and like you said we look back and it's like man we created the darkness but it's not until we face them are we able to see them and that they're actually a thing we personify them to make them leave when they they associate with false ideas and identity about ourselves their identities that we receive from the fallen nature that are not who we truly are but we've believed it because of DNA because of family because you're just like your dad you know whatever it is that you heard and for some reason we've believed it and assumed it as our identity completely yes and all you have to do is look them in the eyes from your soul from who you really are with complete trust just look at it in the eye and they will dissolve and it's all of our part of our purpose and some people it's nearly all of their so you feel like you're on a healing journey like everything in your life has been about healing something this is a big part of it sorry I talk too much oh good right yeah so that mean there's some interesting comments in the chat here Martin fine penguin says uh interesting if you can create entities are all demons man-made creations question mark he said I've heard some say that demons don't really exist they are something that we create however fallen angels seem to be different there's a lot of different entities out there right they're the ones that we create there are sovereign entities there are entities that you know there's a whole bunch you can pretty much make it up in your mind and there's probably a level of those entities especially again it kind of ties in to what you're saying if you make it up in your mind you're creating them if you believe that there's a demon that brings the Sun in every morning or an angel in your mind you create it I mean that's how that's how a manifestation works and we us creating our reality if you can that's why I like that's why we got to be careful that things were entertaining we start believing these things that that don't exist in and things that divide us they're like divisive to divide us from everyone and so these different doctrines and belief systems that kind of create partitions in the minor or schisms and the body of people coming together and we just continue to divide it right into it we continue once we divide it we divide it smaller we divide a smaller with you know we've given all of it we've been given all of this stuff but then we just want to divide it and split it in half and create religions and create denominations and create sects and create all of these different things that don't exist but in our mind there are these fake borders that exist that separate us from people yes that's interesting you even as you're talking about it like I'm just saying it be able to see this experience like the scripture says hear o Israel the Lord is one like one mind just one a lot of people say we are God experiencing itself right in this human yes experience and so like it's almost like God became a fractal and we are part of this fractal of God if the more you zoom in on us we represent the one we go back to the one but it's almost like in this we we are God divided right yes and to see if it to see like you said this is the testing place to see if we can love again to see if we can heal we're divided and only to come back together through healing and through love and so I do think that this place is a test to see you know if we can do that if we can pass the test if we can overcome and respond with love to every to every demon to every person that wrongs you I think that that's the meaning of every holy book is responding with love which is the highest vibrational form of frequency you know and it's going back to Christ I believe that Jesus is the manifestation of love becoming a person dwelling among great and we're supposed to mirror that you know yeah complete grace and we can just look through all of that to the soul of that being it's easier because the soul of that being is not doing it it's the consciousness that is creating the violence and the trauma and the anger okay it's their consciousness it's not their soul they themselves have forgotten their soul that's why they no longer know what they do forgiveness is key there to look through to the light of that being it helps to solve our own shadow again you know say the one part of the shadow of myself that I saw I could I also was able to create it because others also qualified that other people also talked about it believe the same way you can go the opposite way and have three people stand in the name of grace and forgiveness what does it say that in the Bible that Jesus said the three people three people gathered in my name i I do not know the Bible you did well Yahweh says what yeah we're two or three gather in my name there I am in the mid so I if you believe if you believe it you will receive it I'm there you know and that's it you know for that to be true I mean the rest has to be true as well like the demonic side if you know or Satan or whatever it is that you want to establish it says where other people were you can establish a thing on the earth and it would be so like that's the power of the mind even I'm reading the the chat here as well and Martin also says it would be interesting to to explore how much we do create versus what's actually there the scare it gets scary because the more that you zoom in on that you're like oh I'll created all of this I'm I really I made in the image of a creator god that I created this experience I created like I went into a lot of relationships or went into I asked a lot of questions already knowing the outcome you know and it gets scary it can be overwhelming and I'm looking back because you know job interviews and everything like you already knew man it gets deep but that's the level of consciousness we're talking about walking in right yes you know what helps them is to keep those people around you of grace mm-hmm the ones who support the authentic you the ones that know and honor your journeys without judging it but support the real strong you who loves and wants to stand in grace the people who are in your lives who are there with sarcasm judgment you know putting all of their focus on to the negative they're a part of your tribe that is holding and qualifying that energy if there's anything I would say to take the first step in healing is to look at your foundations look at the foundations how you treat your body how your your body is your foundation how much you love yourself and do do you have around you your tribe that you react to on a constant basis because just like Jesus saying two or three people in his name there he is well you have two or three people in the name of laughs nope I don't have money two or three people saying I don't have a good relationship that's what you have people with relationships get people who love get people who have joy and a zest for life and abundance okay whatever it is that you need keep those people in your tribe so that you qualify those energies does that make sense yeah there's a so it's job chapter 22 verse 28 and it says thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established on unto thee and the lights are shined upon thy ways it says thou shalt decree a thing you can speak it out you declare it you say it and it shall be it shall be established unto thee even if it's not established under anybody else job yeah - says it'll be established unto thee where at in your in your mind and your mind's eye the visions and goals and here come the other people ready to tell you down oh you can't have that it's not to work against the thing that that you sought after that God spoke to your heart the whispers in your heart and the night that you you create and you're believing for all those people play a read that they all play characters in your life though whether it's looking at like you know the Tarot and making the journey through that or for me it's the biblical allegory I mean that's just what I study and these different Giants and other nations and people in naysayers and people that are coming against you like that's part of the testing that's part of this whole sovereignty of God as I call it in the book because there's a there's a an ecosystem in all of those things exist for a reason you know this by accident that you created this kind of stuff because you have to uncreate it and you know you got to learn how to do that and kind of weighed your way through it that's it whatever path you choose every moment you have a choice you may make a difficult choice and you have no idea what to do but it ends up being okay this was a great choice if it's a great choice you'll know because you feel like you're off the training wheels and the bicycle is just going okay and you're moving on your own if you do what maybe you called bad choice and you end up in some trouble I don't care how much trouble it is you are still a divine being of God and you deserve just as much abundance love and support as every other being of God so that bad choice guess what happens no matter how painful the response is no matter how painful spirit whatever you want to call Holy Spirit comes in and shows you exactly what it is you do not want what it is that it is not you what it is you need to forgive because that that one thing why there's like shingles in the eyeball which is what I got turned me around it was shingles in the eyeball they got me to pick up and write my very first book Genesis I didn't have to go that far though I did not have to get that second that stress out but I did and I made that choice to work 100 hours a week I made that choice to get very angry in my relationship and to make the decision that I was being hurt by the person I love see if I had not seen that if I had seen through that so there is grace and all of this I am being supported financially right now by this job I do not have to work I'm under an hour weeks hundred hours per week to prove myself and I just trusted that my partner was doing the best he could my stress level would not have gotten such big Greek but when it did spirit came in and said well let's have her daughter give her a thought so I'm on the couch my eye looks like I'd been hit by a baseball bat the most unbelievable severe nerve pain through my eyeball head migraines my daughter says I think you're supposed to write a book she said why don't you read Eat Pray Love because you're just like that lady sorry I'm so dry in this desert air and she started reading it to me and just like you said it started moving me mm-hmm does a spirit God spoke through my daughter just say did your mom vist I read Eat Pray Love my daughter read it to me when I couldn't see and I realize I am like that lady that is me I was too much in pain to get off of the couch so I just had my daughter bring me a journal and a pin and every day I would take my left eye shut and just use my right eye and write and write and write and that was the beginning of the elephants never life I allowed it to meet me you know yeah that's awesome man just using that stuff and then like it's like being content where you are there's this weird dichotomy where like you need to be content right you need to be comfortable instead of like always it's there right I'm not supposed to be here I'm I meant for grace you don't say greatness when I'm stuck at my you know job doing whatever it is that you don't want to be doing you're there because you have to be not there because you want to be you know and that's the whole thing for me it's like getting to wake up and do what you want to do versus what you have to do to keep the lights on or whatever the case is and I mean there's a there's a gulf in between but it's it's if if you want it it's there for you um it was there for me but I was in this place of like eventually like because I was like on a precipice I can feel it I feel I was really close to it I was either I was close to either letting it go okay this is a pipe dream something that's never gonna happen and I need to let this thing go because it's driving me mad I'm not happy at my job I'm not it do I just need to give myself over to this job and quit thinking about the things that I want to do you know and so and I remember just sitting in my truck I was a delivery driver and just crying just man when did you give up when do you give up like what age is it 35 is it 25 it's at 46 I know people in their sixties and seventies step finally stepping into their dream you know what I'm sending our destiny at 65 70 years old and they're doing it really but this has come to Jesus moment as I'm in do I need to give up on it Wendy and then through tears and I always talk about you know the magic elixir of dreams is fueled by blood sweat and tears you got to bleed over it you got to work hard on and you got to cry over it you know and I think that that's a part of the alchemical process for me but I want it to maintain in the moment right because it's we're so easy like daydreaming about what might have been or how we can get out of this situation and there's a lot of fuel that comes but you need to be present because I found myself starting to complain about the very things that yeah you're not afraid for I prayed for this job I wanted a better job it was way better than where I was and you know and trusting the process and you start complaining you know so there's this weird place of like being content but still believing that God has more for you right and this being a balancing all of the energies and stuff right yeah you know I kept getting that from spirit when they would show themselves and Orang dreams but they have a lot to me they for years they would say Michelle find peace within first it was a as if they wouldn't give me another message until I found that within okay yeah uh-huh and so I do what are the healing techniques I do I did it on myself and I laid myself on my massage table and I asked my body where is my body not at heats where is this trauma that is making me my body shape or beast or whatever where is and then I allow my body to take over and it usually was about anyone that you do this technique with the body will show you where the trauma is well my head goes flying back my whole body shifts back to the top of the massage table my head goes flying over and I was in the position that I was when I had a tonsillectomy eye that was when my gosh that was exactly 30 years ago right now and I had no idea in the world that that tonsillectomy had caused any type of trauma to me okay but my body had from them and that's a part of the elephant too so my body had remembered something that I tried to forget and that was I woke up at the at the towards the very end of the tonsil ectomy in that position with my head hanging over okay in that split moment that I woke up the fear took over my body there was you know lot of adrenaline cortisol whatever was flooding through my body and that fear of not of losing control made me have to control everything so that's why I was working a hundred hours a week I was having to control so that somebody else did have control over me cuz they did in that moment if I would have searing pain or not because I woke up but while they were still taking my tonsils out I didn't have the pain by the way I don't remember the hey just the fear yeah they put me right back under it finished so after that I realized wow there are so many level at finding that peace within so I thought okay why don't I do the HOH no photo poni and I ended up doing that for two days almost straight because have you heard of that do you know that yeah we just talked about it a couple weeks ago in here mm-hmm nice as I would do it it would get deeper or to other people other things and I guess like two days I had a massage scheduled the next day with a lady that I see about every three months the moment I walked through the door her not seeing me or talking to me for three months her eyes just with huge and she screamed she said oh my goodness she's the dead she said you look completely different her exact words were you have done a lot of forgiveness work she knew it she could she said she could see the difference in my face yeah and that's what I'm doing there's two days also the writing by the way writing your journey down like this was part of my journey as a child this is my journey what and whatever little things that you need kind of get them out all of that together got me to that place of peace within and what I now understand as I brought the peace with so now all of my reactions and all I see with as I go forward is from a peaceful mind no matter how bad someone's reaction may be I'm at peace now because I did it back then and therefore it became a part of my journey that's good that makes it yeah talk a little bit more about the upon upon oh because there are some people who we just kind of brush through it and like what what is it what's the prayer what is it again so I just talk just a little bit more about the prayer and what it what kind of what it is I just know it from other people so I believe it is I know it's in Hawaiian fare and if they go back deeper than farther than that but I believe it is I am sorry please forgive me thank you i love you i believe that's the credit that's it's those four i love you i'm sorry forgive me and thank you oh thank you that's okay the order matters the order of desmond okay so um you imagine someone right and you should really imagine is someone who has actually done something that you feel has harmed you yeah so I actually went to my family who I had felt had been very neglectful you know that I had done nothing to them and as you start doing it and you're saying I'm sorry they are there in the energy field receiving their open up to receive what they never had and then they are open to giving to you and there was this huge healing in those moments with my family and I could see how I did play a part in that okay and you know on the consciousness level there is a fine line between victimhood and the perpetrator on a consciousness energy level so when I look at the energy they're on the same line one seems terrible one seems sad but two to be a perpetrator they have to find an energy that is acceptable unfortunately usually those are the really sweet empathic people who really feel and they really care so their energy field is out there helping and helping and good and kind and everything but they're not contained they're not self contained so their energy field is wide open to some type of attack the hodo pono pono gives you containment it can't change your energy field it brings your soul back to your body it allows forgiveness between you and other people and like I know someone who would do it every day he would walk I think it was three or three miles every day for his granddaughter who was in serious serious heroin addiction what she was in and living on the streets and they had been at the end of the rope she had no hope left whatsoever she had been almost dead so many times ambulances had fallen so many years he decided here in Sedona to walk a fret on one of our famous rock fell Rock every day for a month and all he would do is do the hoe no pono pono asking her to forgive him okay he did it for a month he got a call from his granddaughter she said what'd you do Rand Paul what did you do that's been about five or six years ago now she got completely clean she's been she went through rehab she now takes care of him she is now vibrant successful happy and she knew he done something she know what it was but she felt that's what the hoe know klonopin ou can do for you and it solidifies your energy field so these people who want to take energy from you in different ways whether consciously or physically they are less likely to be able to get to you that's awesome when we talked about a couple weeks ago I was you know I didn't know I mean I knew a little bit about it but I didn't know it was an actual prayer I didn't know you know well how do you practice it or whatever but when the lady shared with me with the prayer and in the power and what it did for her my mind immediately went to I mean it's different modalities right everyone but it's but it embodies these these couple of phrases here this mantra if you will I love you I'm sorry forgive me thank you and I'm like replaying that in my life and like I gave my life to Christ in 1998 when I was in that's that was my prayer I love you yeah I'm sorry I acknowledge that I've I've messed up I'm sorry I love you forgive me thank you and just through this process man my life was changed forever of like really meaning it not just saying in but really searching my heart and really I really grieved I'm sorry you know and um there's many other you know modalities where this is practiced a a being one of them I've got a friend who's just in love he's a Christian but he just loves the process it's almost like the embodiment of that and those that those are part of the steps the twelve steps they have those that this part of the process going out making them in saying that you're sorry you know contacting those people if you can you know and uh asking them to forgive you for what you've done and just that mantra by itself is just so powerful that's beyond words you know changed my life I had a lot of chills when you told me your story is no no because I'm thinking when I go back to it and I think about it you know that just meaning it and just instantly having it lift it like literally I felt lighter like I didn't know I didn't know that I'll carry in a burden I didn't know that I had baggage and sins and lies and deceit in robbing I didn't know that that was there I didn't know that was there was a weight to it spiritual weight whatever until I said that and it lifted and I was cleansed in oh wow this this feels good you know I didn't know and so we get used to feeling depressed we get used to feeling unhealthy or feeling unfulfilled we've accepted it and so it feels like going back to the beginning when you was in in church and that Pastor we're so condemning and everybody's lights started going out we're usually navigating without a light and that's why Jesus become like these little children in order to receive the kingdom of heaven you have to turn your light back on and that light is through forgiveness it's through love and it's it's to thankfulness you know and all of these things I mean there's so many aspects and I'm sure there's teachings that just break it down and get even deeper deeper and deeper into each one of those right it just see but I what I did notice as I'm reading it here it's just keep it simple we like to over complicate things keep it simple like really mean it and say it don't say if you don't mean and uh you know and don't say it until you mean it and wherever you are in life when you mean it say it and watch what happens it's a spiritual experience all in itself yes it is yes it is and remember again from my near-death experience that shadow these people who are doing these painful things it's not them doing it it's a consciousness it's a consciousness out there in the ethers it's not them doing it and if you can remember that at times when somebody really ignite your anger or something you can find it be much much quicker to return to peace because it's not them doing is a consciousness that we can all be a part of the heal it's in fees in 612 this is in the Bible and I know you say you don't really know much of this but it says for we wrestle not against flesh and blood it's letting you know your battle is not with humans against principalities powers against the rulers of darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and in high places like so we think that that person wronged us going back to the Four Agreements like look it ain't don't take it personal that person would you you represent it's not about you you represented somebody to that person your freedom scares that person so they have to lash out your to free you should because your freedom shows them how much of bondage that they're really in and so they have to lash out it's not that it's not personal it's not about flesh and blood this is it with ideas and thought forms and patterns and strongholds again that set themselves up and exalt I mean the scriptures are just like there's so many scriptures that talk about like these ideas that exalt themselves against the knowledge of Christ and and that's what we're fighting against these thoughts these ideas that are you've just agreed you don't even know where they come from we gotta trace them down and get them out and get them out there and understand who God says we are with we're loved were beloved we're more than conquerors we are righteous we are called we are forgiven we are free to say that you know and believe it and walk in it and man whatever you have to do if it's music that you need to listen to if it's podcast like these that you need to listen to if it's books that you need to read make sure that you're doing it and remind yourself daily because it's so easy to forget somebody you know we're doing good and then somebody comes on comes along and tells you something different and you believe it and you knocks you off course for six months you know but but it's part of the shadow you learning you know it's part of that learning experience you know and on the other side when you get to that other side which we can all do isn't a knee ously actually just through grace like Jesus yeah to me is the was the embodiment of grace to be much more than that but that energy of grace with everything you see everything you look at is beautiful and as you see the beauty and know that there's so much that we are actually given in every moment every second of our existence we become that beauty we become that grace that shines the light so that other people unconsciously do the same we don't need to save much at all yeah we just really need to be pleasant mm-hmm you know ourselves here with the person who's in front of us right just be here and see the beauty between the conversation the beauty of where you're at you know whether it's rain clouds you know or sunny it's beautiful and we start becoming that vibration that higher vibration and we get through that shadow and when you get through the shadow you feel expanded free so if you want to know about your greatest gifts you want to know about your purpose ask yourself what makes you feel expand what makes you feel lighter pick because it it feels hard it feels heavy like it's going to UM stress you out or you have to push push push that's really not a part of your purpose okay your purpose is to be free your purpose is to be healed your purpose is to be expanded light as a feather so the gifts that you are given makes you feel that way they're light you feel like you can breathe you forget about the heaviness of the world so you can ask yourself that and we'll go back to cotillion talking about the wrinkles in between my eyes I mean what a funny thing just say but he was saying it's an imprint that says that I am meant for a very deep relationship most like everyone is and he was saying God gave people these wrinkles this is a Balinese I guess belief okay that they record they are a part of your relationship they show that you're a deep relationship person at that time I didn't think I'd have any and what he's saying is we have these simple gifts that will take us everywhere into the best relationship for what not and they're right in front of your face look in the mirror we've been given the mouth to eat and to speak with we've been given eyes to behold the beauty of another person hold me hold the beauty of the trees outside and the hummingbirds we think of an ears to hear to experience it's all that life is and it's all this light is this light as long as we're in that you need all of our lights are on and we're in the field of grace in which Jesus exists the reason you don't see him manifest in front of you which sometimes they do absolutely I promise you that I've had many yeah but I'll tell you they do but the reason is because if they are existing in complete grace and humanity is existing in a lack of love even if it's for your own self you can't feel it you're not matching up okay they're there all of the time Jesus is with everyone okay all the time all you have to do is have a little bit of grace or love in your heart okay and that's a match this though the reason they don't manifest if the manifestation is both wait so it's the energy of the person with them so if the person doesn't even love themselves enough it's gonna have to take the manifestations gonna have to take almost a moment when they're asleep okay or like half unconscious because there's a block this lack of self-love is a block to seeing their presence that makes sense yeah so why what people see them an out-of-body or dream yeah yeah it's um it's interesting I think that I think that that's kind of by design with our human bodies I'm obviously we're able to see in the spirit but being able to see spiritually is a the gift of discernment so that you will be able to tell you'll be able to discern when they're around or when what is good what is the good imperfect will of God is what the Bible says that if you transform your mind you'll be able to tell you renew your mind you better tell what is the pleasing will of God because you you know it it is Grace it is forgiveness it is love and you can be around and you say okay yeah he's here two or three are gathered in his name love is present right and it's that simple and again you said crisis with every every one it's true the in the book of John he says Christ is the light Jesus is the light that lighteth every man that come into the into the world and so that light that is within each and every one of us and so going back to the holy man thing you take sometimes it takes a holy man to breathe upon that light within you so it swells up and becomes a wild fire within your hearts you know and so yes Jesus did the same thing I had the same thing done to me you have we're doing that for other people and it's beautiful just the championing the whole healing process and wherever it looks like man and don't and not even to be a form of escapism no that's all that's one thing that I'm always in you know intrigued by escapism in trying to run from the human experience this this human experience was articulated and created and faceted you are fearfully and wonderfully made to go through these feelings and doubt depression fear like all those things exist for a reason you get to choose this day who you will serve and kind of navigate through that stuff but it's made for a reason so to embrace the human experience now you know you have to get to a place where you're thankful for usually it's once you come out of the darkness usually when you're going through you like somebody help me get me out of here you know and then you can look back on this side oh yeah I mean I'm thankful that having you wouldn't think you're going through it you almost died in it you know in the thing yes it's real some people do die in it some people don't make it out of that darkness you know what I'm saying but uh but it's for those who who you know who have hope and hope you know hope hope the deferred makes the heart sick man but those who have hope you can get through it man there's something to believe in and and and once you've experienced it a little bit man it's it's a lot easier because you know it's there even if you might not be there right now you're hearing these stories you know it's a testimony the whole thing about testimonies and us talking about a bragging on it is the fact that you know what God did for someone else he can do for you God is not a respecter of persons I'm not anyone special you aren't either we are but it's it's for whoever work whoever does it if you want it it's here for you you know as much as you want far and beyond but it's about look be present man this body this life again the senses and everything that we have it's a beautiful experience and it's not about trying to escape it it's about being present and in the moment and we like the far out spiritual stuff I mean that's what we're talking about but being a human man and a human not not not a human doing but a human being and resting and just being a human being yes yes one thing I want I wanted to ask you about before we before in here I wanted to talk to you about the psychic abilities because I've read some of some of your bio and stuff and so as you're tapping into these other levels you're having these psychic abilities kick in and some of the stuff I was reading about it you were getting names of people and like first and last names and like some really accurate stuff that you was picking up on what was that like when that was first happening for you when I was my early 20s and I realized I was the only one seeing these things I got the courage somewhere to sign myself up for a psychic fair I had never done a reading before and I'm like wow I think I'm psychic I'm really gonna challenge myself I'm gonna sign up for a psychic fair and these two young women sit down across from me very very first reading of the day and the girl says something about her boyfriend you know she's having a relationship trouble and I just say back oh you mean with like John Smith or Peter genic do you know it was his fault it was his name first in Atlanta mm-hmm I was unable to do a reading the rest of the day I literally fell out of my chair I had no idea that that was even a possibility she was shocked but I was more shocked yeah so I it truly is with great humbleness I really believe that people are born very connected to spirit and maybe I just never unconnected because I had a lot of freedom with that other kids don't okay maybe um I had a lot of Native Americans running around my parents land they still do so I was constantly in that um so I started doing psychic work and teaching psychic development and I was teaching a meditation class once and there had been on the news a missing woman who they pretty much zooom had been murdered and I wasn't paying attention to it I just heard about it and in the middle of me teaching this meditation group and I'm on all Omani pave home and you don't doing all of this my hands are here my experience was uh you know I'm not I don't think I'm I wouldn't want the mother to hear it um trauma to my body I could feel it as if someone were ordering me and literally was so physically painful that I had to get out of the meditation I stopped it and I told people what had just happened and I realized it was the woman the spirit the soul that had come on television that started happening I got pretty obsessed with it meaning I started helping every single missing person case I did get names for one police case that was absolutely identical first and last name of the perpetrator but there is a problem with obsession over that stuff you know I thought I was helping helping but there is a place where there's non-interference is a law of the universe okay I was giving myself so much I was no longer self-contained to be a healthy person so there's a fine line with being psychic because you can't study really careful with your words very careful you're importing into their consciousness something and um I did a lot of tarot cards as well and I had quite a learning with the tarot cards most recently I'm totally about Oracle's I totally believe in Oracle's I know they work but I had a deck back in my 20s that was uh like the Golden Dawn mm-hmm and the Golden Dawn deck has a lot of dark images on okay and about ten years ago I realized that's not good I don't like that and I wrap it I wrap the tarot cards in leather and I hid them in my house back in Ohio where I'm from forgot about them when I moved to Sedona I literally jumped and someone else ended up moving my stuff for me and bringing it here and when it's a god here I saw that leather pouch of those tarot cards and hid them in a closet I started helping out at a crystal shop a woman said oh I would love a tarot deck no and I said oh I have one I don't want it I said I don't I leave in the dark images I don't want that in people's consciousness that ability to transform something into the dark the consciousness or desert you know that something terrible is going to happen the apocalypse I don't want that in the consciousness I said but you could have him if you'd like so she did the next morning I removed them from the leather and put them in my purse it's just a few months ago tuck them into that crystal store and stored my purse up in a storage cubby back at it in a room and I don't feel right like not a little wrong I am very very dizzy not feeling well next thing I know another employee goes into the cubby comes out yelling that there's some dark spirit coming out of my purse no one knowing about the tarot cards in there nothing another woman comes in they all agree throw I literally very upset with me what's in your purse and at that moment I was so dizzy I forgot about the tarot cards I told them over and over there's nothing in my purse I'm like I don't even have money in my purse that's like my beach bag there's nothing in that first it wasn't until I left and I went through a drive-thru to get some food then I reached into my purse and put out the tarot cards so we burned those things hmm so being a psychic yes I can see that I can I'm a medical tutor like I could see into the body where those problems at how that can heal but there's the very fine line with that responsibility because you can put a lot into their conscience there should never be words and I just said that should yes I should it's like pulling the death card it's like oh but wait it's not a bad thing it's like immediately there's fear oh God death card wait wait wait it's not really scary he's like hit him with fear then soften it up a little so that's why you know I started that 30 years ago teach me all of that and today I'm all about empowering people I think I think I think your story kind of ties in with the question that we had here lori-ann's and on face book is talking about do you know anything about portals in houses because she says she uses sage to cleanse her house but she says at night she's visited by a two inch entity of a little thing that visits her every night in bed that won't go away and it says she says it's a little black round thing with lots of legs and lots of legs right on the side of her face and it's there every night something a little spider well two inch spider or some but she says it's an entity that's visiting her every night could that be something that's linked to a portal being linked to an object in the home a cursed object again you saying that he had these tarot cards that represented fear and then there's some type of fear entity that came through it could that be something else in her house that is it that is what it is for her I don't know what the object is but that is what it is for her yeah I think it's something but yeah that's a that's something we've been looking into a little bit too I've wrote it I wrote about it in the book a little bit the whole thing of cursed objects and cursed I like to touch on both side blessed objects right if they're for there be it to be cursed objects there has to be blessed objects as well right and so - looking looking into both and having trinkets around your house and you know we've always heard about people having like items that are haunted or whatever like a dresser you know that someone a mirror that they see someone you know in the you know all kind of crazy far-out their stuff but again I think that is something to consider like looking at the stuff that you have and always examining like what's in your life to open it up doors I will say that there is a hyper like a high polarization of that because you get to a place where you just start throwing everything away especially in the Christian perspective you like I got crystals there's demons on these crystals I think it's dorm away I got this book I got this book of a true Sikh I got thrown away and you start like I've totally been there where like I'm getting read on my jewelry I'm getting rid of posters I'm getting rid of videogames I mean we're just you know in this weird like you know thinking that I'm haunted and stuff it's gotten one anything demonic to be in your midst you know so there's that too which is like the hypo lies a ssin of it yes my brother at our house with all the spirits to go to her question to it was in his room it seemed there was this portal and the portals there there's there must have been some type of massacre that happened on that land that charged it well what tapped into it for him was the darkest darkest of heavy metal rock so at 16 he was really playing this a lot then him his little friends were doing crazy little things I don't know they were sniffing glue or you know they're like 15 or 16 but he had the little demonic things start to come from his room and he figured out that he had been a part of tapping into that portal by getting into the real heavy dark darkest of the rock but you cannot go all that way we have to be light and fun we have to joy yeah our experiences here you know after the Tarot incident I just said please I just do not want to throw away by Anne Rice novels you know Anne Rice is fun to read there's darkness at this though right we don't want to ourselves to get into the dark consciousness no once it's been there it can be it can be stored in the vibration of that physical object so I would just have her look like in her room in drawers under the bed if there's anything she's used in the past even if it's with like a past relationship or something that caused a lot of I'd get rid of it hmm yeah yeah there's a there's not a lot that uh that remained in our life from our previous life I say the previous life in in this life like the person I used to be got rid of a lot of stuff you know like because I was into a lot of the dark stuff and I mean we had wall flags of Marilyn Manson and Satanic Bibles and now you know all kind of really dark or cultic things that we would practice a cult dark rituals what with you know and putting spells on people and that not a lot of that stuff surfaced there is a few pictures here and there that that made it and a few letters and things like that but it's not a lot I had to get rid of a lot of that stuff and I mean there comes it there comes a time where I think that it is healthy to cleanse but it can it can I always want to throw that out there it can get unhealthy really quickly you just don't have any belongings I mean you just throw everything away because you think everything is if whether it's not Christian enough or there could be a spirit attached to it or I mean I got one friend who we taught about this like his uh his mom and they don't wear hand-me-down clothes or clothes from Goodwill because the person might have died who was wearing those clothes or something in their spirit might be attached to their clothes maybe your beliefs and stuff so and that would easily say okay if I didn't buy this new from the store then I'm not gonna I'm not gonna wear it you know these interact we're talking about the thought forms that it becomes a law because she believed it it's real to her like hey if we wear the clothes of hand-me-down people then we're gonna start acting like them or the same things that was attacking them are gonna attack us like this is weird it's not necessarily true but it's true because she believed it in in her world and your reality it becomes your truth that's just how it works people that's it that is it so I mean you got it so let's we go ahead and wrap this up you got it until your book is available on Amazon elephants never lie talking about Dylan doing the shadow work dealing with the elephant in the room you know so identifying that coming to terms with it and working with it maybe riding that elephant it's a novel like The Celestine Prophecy is an outward journey yeah this is an inward journey yeah I think those are I think those are in inward journeys too there's so much out there man like The Alchemist and things like that you know beautiful returning back to your childhood and return it back to the innocence I can't read those it's hard for me to even watch TV for the most part without doing the inner reflection or things like embodying things in my life you know once you're so like I can't watch The Lord of the Rings without you know the Holy Spirit saying okay this is that this is that I can't read a book without what does it represent to me what is it in my life and it was a just a god thing really that happened to me when I read the Bible and it became real to me it didn't become a history book it became a book that was talking about my life and where I was and what I was contemplating and what I was dealing with in the hour you know I would read about it as I'm reading the scriptures just like reading like reading my mail it's almost like you know doing psychic readings on me the Bible was alive like a living book as it says and it's really interesting but the inward journey and that we all take and it's it is no respecter of person that's right everyone could read it and put themselves in that place and trust me we all if it's applicable for one it's for everybody and it doesn't you don't matter where you are in life that you can you can overcome those situations and and and deal with the darkness yes and you can write your own journey as well and I hope that book also helps people to realize the healing power of writing their own journey it kind of connects the dots of your life and your purpose and for me that first book was very healing to write but not half as powerful was when it was published because all of the feedback I get family members coming out of the woodwork to say I needed to hear that I really needed to hear that you know because it's always been kept quiet we don't talk about it in the family it completed so much of it completed my journey for the first half of my life completely and now my second book will be out in about six weeks six to eight weeks and that's gonna be creating forward and that is how to start with a piece and that will be a nonfiction like starting with the inner peace and going with a natural flow of God how God supports us which is that we are all being born into our brilliant authentic selves so it's about stepping out of the way okay yeah yep and uh hence the term born again you were born once but you I could be born again inside is so funny in the scriptures just like what do you mean I'll have to be born again I was already I got to enter my mother's womb and be born again is like now you got to be born of spirit my friend you know be born again in spirit you know and so that's those words mean a lot more when you remove the religious connotation off of them you know and say okay how does this apply to my life how is this practical just like ya got a you know start over you got to become a child again you know it's beautiful yes well I will link those books or link this book and link your Amazon page as well in the show notes in description so everybody wants to go check out her book make sure you do that thank you so much my friend Michelle thanks for hanging out with me I really enjoyed our conversation it was really good and we have to do it we have to do it again when those other books come out I'd love to have you back on I would very much enjoy that enjoyed it my friend we'll do it again soon okay have a great day everyone blessings bye-bye Michelle Lucas ladies and gentlemen good stuff deal with that elephant I said don't just deal with ride the elephant cause it's like that's your vehicle man you're setbacks or your slingshot to propel you into the life that you want for yourself you know I'd like to go to the scriptures and you a lot of you like me to go to the scriptures to you've sat back to a slingshot what the enemy meant for your your harm God will use for your good what was created to destroy you is going to be the very thing that propels you into your next level into the into the best life the things that you're fighting with it what seemed like it was gonna be your demise you're you're right where you need to be I mean there's so many Bible stories I mean that's literally what the Bible is about right in the standing strong in the face of opposition not giving up hope not doubting I mean was there's so many you know Joseph being in what is it in uh in in the pit he was in the pit and went from the pit to the palace has all of his brothers she was trying to kill him and now he becomes the ruler you know and it's all of these people were in situations in the Bible where it looked like it would never done they weren't qualified for the position to lead they weren't you know they're they've done too much to move forward I mean it's not just their story I'm gonna finish their story that's your story it looked like all odds were against you look like look you you at the end of the rope and boom that's what breakthrough happens the very thing that seemed like it was set off to kill you this is what's gonna bring you joy your your tests the thing that's testing you and won't stop that becomes your testimony your mess that you're dealing with God turns your mess into a message and you can walk in it man again it's hard to see through the other side but hey as part of the journey the journeys worth that because when once you get there you like I can't wait to get there look the power is in the journey man that's what allegory is the allegories in the journey you don't hear much about once the Israel eyes you know enter the Promised Land or what they were doing it's like there was the journey to get there and to defeat the enemies that stood in the way and the bosses and things and like you know it's it's all about the journey embodying it and loving every part of it and and not overlooking any of it it's all worth it every single part and trust me you'll be I don't know where you are but God knows Tom changes men Tom's flying or at least our perception of it is situations change people grow people come in and out of your life man in a heartbeat be present be in the moment man don't don't let these moments flee from you it's it's you getting there and did our heart it's it's it's really interesting you know things change people change you know just be present wherever you are no matter what you're doing I'm gonna jump here in the chat whoo Martin fly penguin says I love how these conversations open up more of the scripture things we pass over it's odd statements that only makes more sense for sure man yeah that was for me I'm telling you like studying anything like outside of the scriptures I always filtered it through the scripture and it wasn't like trying to make it fit it was oh oh yeah the Bible says something very similar to this you know you'd hear these statements you'd you'd read the 48 laws of Maude you know you read The Alchemist you read all of these other books and because I knew the scripture so well like it uh I seen where it fit and it was saying the same thing only with with different words you know I talked to a lady yesterday and it was so funny because she seemed I guided meditation on astral projection and I have been talking just flirting with the idea of changing the name of the astral projection meditation to spirit travel because I know I have a lot of you know Christians in my audience who are kind of warming up to some of these ideas of some of that stuff but some of it's a little far out there it's taboo astral travel being one of them you know there's some weird stuffin you know that that other people have said hey stay away from that now that's too far out there so but she was like now if it was spirit travel I might buy it and I said look I've been doing podcasts talking about this talking about all I have to do was change the name and it's it's ready to be received you know there's different terminologies and stuff to explain all this stuff and I'm not married to any of them I love them all obviously the Bible doesn't talk about that Bible doesn't use that terminology the Bible doesn't mention a lot of terminology missus get down to Pilate I would do so much stuff that's not biblical we're trying to be as biblical base as we can or whatever just know that there's just so much more even in the Bible of like but you're not going to be able to interpret until you look into other ideologies you're not you're gonna interpret it through Western thought through Western Christianity and it's not a Western religion it's not a Western spiritual practice we've westernized hell we're beginning to westernized it the eastern yoga and stuff like that we're making that westernized and taking that and stealing it from them and making it our own you know here in the West but you got to look to the east man Christianity was a spiritual practice in the East before it became a religion in the West I'm convinced these were very spiritual people they had an amazing far-out out-of-this-world encounters with with angels with beings from other realms from God you know hearing voices of spirits that were you know meeting with their leaders from beyond the grave and all kinds of interesting things that were going on that we don't really hear about and so if you want to interpret it you're not gonna better go to your pastor and ask them you got to go to the east you got to look into this stuff flying penguins that's Christian yoga baby yeah Yoga is amazing man it's so funny though you're here you'll hear like there's videos and people believe it and say like if you do yoga then you're worshiping like pagan gods if you do yoga so we got to do Christian versions of it modified versions Yoga is amazing for your body your body will thank you if you do yoga trust me trust me every good and perfect gift comes from above you know I believe that with all my heart if it's here if it's here to help you and help you become a better person to be more conscious conscious of your body stretching you know it's yoga is very good my wife is on a daily jog aroo teen she's been keeping it up since the first of the year and I'm proud of her I've been doing it a little bit here and there with her and I'm not as flexible as her and my wrists hurt really really easy when I started doing some of those poses but you know the more you try it the more you do it the stronger you get I'm not an expert I do love the breathing techniques and mindfulness in the meditation aspect of it for sure that's definitely where I come in leading that stuff but uh you know tell me you want to interpret it you got to look outside you know your realm of thinking you know we're trying to interpret you've been you've just been reading Christian authors like it whatever subject it is you've just been reading Christian understandings of it so if you're like in a box you got to look outside of the box God it's more than what you've been told you know Christianity love religion the religious experience is more than what you've been told it was there's a commonality with all things Martin says shoot most of the encounters of the Bible would be rejected by the typical church today for sure yeah but they're starting to embrace it you know that you're you know there's more things that we were able to talk about now then we could have talked about 10 years ago so that's huge you know but they have to talk about it now there's a bunch of them who are they're still fighting it tooth and nail but guess what they're gonna be left behind they're gonna be left there getting left behind people are leaving the churches by the thousands man it's crazy it's it's crazy and if they don't if if they don't stand up to respond to the culture the call just left them behind and the churches would not be relevant anymore it's not that Jesus isn't relevant he's the most beautiful thing that you can encounter any but he's in all things so you don't have to go to church to deal with Christ you can close your eyes and pray wherever you are and that's the beauty and the power that we have through Christ that he destroyed that veil that separated us from God that we had to go to a priest that we had to go to someone to hear about God that know the New Covenant is that no man would teach you about God you can go to God directly for yourself and have your own experience and anything that it's beautiful is Christ anything that is as lovely is God you know in the end I mean you'll be able to judge that fruit so that's the interesting thing about it all God is very inclusive we've been told that he's not and so I hope to deal with some of that stuff and those schisms and isms here on the podcast and the things that scare you and stuff like that so Nina says defent Alice Eve Martin's is definitely podcast like this and what we do opens up real conversations yep opening up a new way to see the love of Christ within us yeah because you've been told that your you know your your filthy your dirty you know that you love you been told God hates them you know what I'm saying and they're just in this religion that's dimming their light they have no light they're not the light of the world they're beggars they're not more than conquerors they're not free they're not redeemed jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free well while these people who are in the churches claiming to have the truth but they're bound up they're in religion they're not free their marriages are in shambles they you know they have nobody to talk to they can't be themselves around people that it's not freedom that's pretending you guys gotten really good at pretending shake it off come up out of here the Scriptures come out of for my people so you would not be a partaker of our plagues it's deep its deep I don't know where you're on your studies man but uh you know it's it gets deep you know I've studied a lot I've been in it Pauline Christianity you know is not it's not the way to go but I do believe Paul was a highly spiritual person but what Christianity's become today do you know no don't do it I do like fellowship fellowships amazing and if you go to a lot of people go to church just for the fellowship you know thank God we have online communities because we have people like who are responding to the message they want to know more about Christ they want to come into relationship I don't know what this is true sick of what is it how do I get to it I want what you have we'll pray together you know and usually you say hey get plugged into a good church by that's sending you as sheep to the wolves I can never do that so we have they're like make community you know what I'm saying we have to can't just send somebody to some random Church it's all kind of foolishness going on out here so we have online community meeting what people literally all over the world it's amazing people are joining us from Taiwan people joining us from man Australia New Zealand all over the world it's different times when they join in whether they're joining on the school of the mystic so we're just doing a morning prayer on our disk or community whatever it is it's so awesome to see people hungry for more you know and just resonating and again not running from the human experience but embracing it embracing every aspect of it the good the bad the ugly you know it's uh it's awesome I wouldn't trade it for anything and I'm glad to to be a part of this movement and I'm not the only one there's a lot of people Martin and the flying penguins and a lot of people who are waking up in the Christians and that they're not abandoning their faith their their remaining in their faith and but they're open to their spirituality you know that they've been robbed they're told that it's demonic or something like that so I'm love the fact that people are waking up and they have to if not if you don't you get left behind we're changing as a people society is changing Christianity is changing and I know people who want to fight that I even that statement you know Christianity is changing and Christianity has to change I know that's scary to say that but the Christianity as you know it in the West has been changed it's not biblical Christianity as much as you go back I got people who were just friends that I love those guys dearly but they're just really into the Church Fathers as far as like John Wesley John G Lake and all of these you know the Reformation guys and Martin Luther and all that they they feel like that's they feel like that's the the plumb line for Christianity in the church like these guys are like the fathers of the Protestant movement right anything that that's not you gotta go beyond in people man they what they had was a was a knockoff they now what they did they you know it brought it to another level from just being in you know would it had become in the Catholic Church and you know shout out to those guys but those guys are not the standard I'm sorry those guys that Wesley and all those dudes they're not the standard Jesus is the standard Paul Peter those guys man look at look at what they had imitate that don't be no imitators of these other people these fallen dudes putting their pants on one leg at a time just like you man look these guys has something beautiful that's lost and we're trying to reclaim it that's what it is and there's grace there cuz you're gonna get it wrong sometimes you're gonna mess up it's part of it that's what grace comes in that's what it's about never stifle exploration you know you don't just let anything fly right it isn't there should be a plumb line but the more you read them scriptures with an open mind you find out that there's stuff in there man it's just out of this world and it's awesome because we serve a God who was out of this world you know in the creation and in consciousness and the oneness that we all are Danny says I think the number one problem of the church is lack of discernment for church was for people too man a lot of kooky stuff going on again even with the fringe stuff we're talking about you know all kind of far-out stuff right psychic abilities aliens astral travel right where do you draw the line there's there's people who are into all kind of stuff and it almost seems like anything gets to gets to fly but that shouldn't be it either we need to have some discernment like you said we need to have some because even in the mystical movements man they're making up all kinds of crazy stuff and there is no foundation there is no preaching of the Cross there is no preaching of the redemption of sins and overcoming the flesh and you know even as a Hebrew six tells us to move on to some of the that the deeper things in the scriptures write in but we have to do the first works though because most of us don't even have the beginning stuff down we don't even have the beginning stuff down so - for people to just like move to the the so-called deeper things or whatever they don't even have the foundation down so we need to teach the foundation and you want to get down to it the foundational stuff is deep anyway because you have a deeper revelation of you able to teach it and get really get the meat of it and not have to like bring in crazy fara stuff to really tickle the ears and lead people astray and be so weird and so far out with your gimmicks then you can win people and keep people because once you win them you got to keep on with that stuff just like the fear-based stuff if you come into this relationship with God and through Christ through fear they you're gonna stay with fear and you got to keep being scared but people get it get over that eventually they find out how they taste and see that the Lord is good as a scripture says and the fear is gone there is no fear perfect love cast out all fear once you're embraced by the perfect love of God fears gone all of it for perfect love casts out all fear you better come into a relationship with the Creator man and just this all and Wonder and beauty of what that is and what that looks like there's depth to it there's levels levels of consciousness levels of encounter with God you know and everybody has a different piece and a different portion and we're viewing this one thing from a different ass fact we're seeing different pieces of the one and we're bringing that to the table and say hey let us what what happened from to me this is what I believe you know this is in seeing if it sticks you know I've been told not to go off of your experiences go off of the Bible well as I'm reading one thing and you guys are preaching one thing but my experience with you all is different you know just like Gandhi said I love your Christ but you're Christians are not like your Christ they're very different and I don't like them because they don't do what Jesus did so check yourself before you wreck
