when I seen singers email come across and I went to the website and checked out their music I was like yeah this would be an awesome interview so so I want to say a huge thank you to you guys for coming on and hanging out so you guys have an awesome story and I've got a bunch of questions for you and I'm sure we're just gonna have fun but uh but for people who don't know who you are just kind of give like an introduction of who you guys are which I bring to the table kids years old we were spontaneously able to read write chant and understand the ancient language of Sanskrit and it was spontaneous and we found that we were able to chant the Vedas which are the oldest part of Sanskrit and usually that's reserved for Indian male pundits over in India which is awesome but then all of a sudden it showed up in two white girls from Reno so it was weird our parents were kind of blown away they're like why couldn't you spontaneously learn Spanish easier and more practical and instead so we had Sanskrit and then we just fell in love with the way it made us feel and we worked with our Father and created eight albums we have our latest album that came out last year and basically it's to share the experience of the calming effects of Sanskrit that you can apply to your spiritual path the way that it made us feel and the clarity the coldness and we wanted to basically give that to everybody to make that accessible to everybody because it's not it's obviously not something that everybody does you know people you don't run across a lot of people that chant Latin or say I'm screwed specifically even more so so we wanted to make it available to you know every masses not just in but also everyone could have that's awesome and uh you know on the show when I talk to people about their spiritual experiences and stuff I always go back to the childhood stuff because that's like where everything started what was going on and this is just an interesting story that spontaneously you guys were just weird you guys were just chanting this with you you guys were writing it as well all of this stuff that was coming out of you that nobody taught you guys right we also wanted to make sure that it was really Sanskrit they they were a little you probably thought the opposite like you know my kids have made up their own language and they've got dictionaries and what the words mean but like no this is an ancient you know saying spiritual language that exists on the earth that was kind of like downloaded to you guys right corner I'm just making up this weird language that's awesome man so and everything comes back to the childhood memories for me and what got you into then obviously that played a huge role in your life and shaped you guys for what you doing today and you guys were seven and nine when that happened right there is nothing everything is very real you know the experiences are very real they're more powerful they are very innocent innocent you don't have your brain all these things sound that the pure experience nor the stresses of the world have gotten to you yet at seven and nine so we loved this was all we did we just loved it and so even when you guys are chanting it now the peaceful euphoric experience that you guys create chanting but it's also a connection back to the childhood innocence so it even has more power for you right well what does that mean what does that mean so some people would want to know what the shanthi shanthi mean it means peace but it's not like a hippy peace like chill it means like the Shalom peace that you hear in Hebrew yes very very profound peace that you experience when residing with just God and yourself what if somebody was to chant or say ohm shanthi shanthi what would that mean you can almost trace everything back to Sanskrit the word actually is originally where the word Amen came from so that's just a mantra it's the sound of creation and then shot and then shanti shanti shanti always hit three times and that's for lots of different reasons it could be for the different levels of creation you know for different levels of heaven they say it three times because it invokes you notice in spirituality there's always a trinity in ancient Eastern teachings there's a Trinity obviously in Catholicism there's a Trinity there's always always three times that's awesome so like what are the benefits for chanting Sanskrit or even writing in or listening to it what are the benefits that that people could take away from you guys talk about creating like this place of peace where like changes the vibration and we'll call it that right it makes you feel peaceful and again you know ohm shanthi shanthi is peace peace peace be upon you the Shalom and rest and all of that stuff that comes with it it's all together right expose this language to the masses and obviously through religion regardless of what your religion is we are searching and wanting to clarify the meaning of life and to tap into the divine and Sanskrit is a way is the is a tool that we use to directly do both of those to enhance regardless of what your spiritual path is is to enhance those two things helps clear the mind it helps at home the muddy waters as they say in Buddhism those waters gonna be so money you can't feel yourself you can't say I can't hear myself think when you can't hear yourself think you can't hear God either so sometimes it's good to take have a tool that's a very intense tool and listening to the Vedic recitations is a tool to quiet the mind so you can hear it be one with the divine yes because that is ultimately our goal we're not here to you know money and crazy family and everything else that we end up as the years go on in our lives it just gets harder and harder and you know the weight on our shoulders gets heavier and heavier we are here to try to figure out how to break through that and still be that true essence of what we were born with and that we experience much easier as children and as adults we want to reach a pin to that and so that Sanskrit is a way for us to do that and obviously we still use it on a daily basis to be able to do that and to increase also just increase consciousness in the world more people that chant these pure vibrational tones that are just prayers to God the higher we resonate and the higher we resonate the less of the uglier darker more negative things in the world that are clouding and sometimes you can't have that fullness of life because life is so as she said so heavy and it's so cluttered and there's so much noise and most of that noise is pretty entertaining so we keep going back to it almost as a form of addiction Wow sometimes you need something that just cuts right through that yeah it has those pure tones so does Latin actually you're chanted like the Gregorian chant does say it is a very pure very powerful clarifying of the mind the words have the same vibrational aspects of what you are speaking about so the word and the object are the same in sanskrit so when you say it it is the same vibrations of that actual thing the ancient Rishi's honestly now it cannot happen because the world is so dense but in the ancient times the Rishi's could or the seers could could say the Sanskrit word and have it manifest and that is because the tones were pure and they were very enlightened and able to do that obviously in this crazy busy world I don't know if anyone's doing that now but used to be able to that it's awesome you guys talk about the like the religious aspect of it too and like what's the goal to make people more conscious and aware of being present and in the moment versus you know all the other chatter and stuff like that and I think that uh you know mindfulness and meditation all that stuff kind of comes with it and that's one thing that I did write down here that you heard y'all talk about in another interview talking about the rise in consciousness and it's really just focusing on the divine so whenever we talk about this so people like we told you guys I did another episode couple months ago with a lady talking about Sanskrit and how powerful it was and there was immediately like people in the chat who were like oh you guys are talking about Hindu like they thought like that Sanskrit was immediately tied into it just only privy to like a religious idea and you had to be a Hindu to even share the benefits of this ancient language where does that come in with people of all faiths right you guys you guys respect everyone and you guys aren't necessarily Hindu you're talking about you have a beautiful relationship with Jesus and you guys are practicing Catholics as well but tapping into the ancient Sanskrit language how do you reconcile the two there with with you know I'm saying faith in Christ and it's not like a religious you know language at that actually predates Oh Hinduism is the oldest you can trace it back it is so old it is a very out of India but before that we're a set of writings called the Vedas and the teachings out that came the Vedas were we're mathematics and science astrology astronomy architecture medicine so those teachings predate Hinduism those teachings were in Sanskrit Sanskrit is a language and you can use the language just like you know you can I can be any religion and do yoga no yoga actually technically comes from that vedic time the vedas which are the ancient writings and books there's four books and out of these came all this beautiful poetry very about a physical poetry and then also lots of knowledge about all the sciences all use very very all the time still to this day yes so and a lot of you the natural medicine and a lot of the concepts in even regular allopathic medicine came out of the Vedas but to answer your question Sanskrit is a tool and it is a language and yes it is it used in Hinduism it's also used in Buddhism it's also used in Taoism and it pops up but now it's become kind of mainstream like with Oprah and I know a few years ago actually quite a few years ago Madonna did a song and had some Sanskrit its mainstream people say you know my diet guru oh the political pundits it's actually it's it's a it's a language it's and it's a language that has very pure vibrations so you can apply it to wherever you'd like a universal language we have fans that are totally atheist but that listen to Sanskrit all looks there's quotes of them saying that they all look to the Vedas for all their knowledge Tesla a lot of those early and a lot of our science actually they used the man who invented the concept of the periodic table did based on the Sanskrit alphabet to be tremendously in the 1800s that whole concept of how the Sanskrit alphabet is laid out is very similar to how the periodic table of elements is laid out it is the perfected language it is very scientific as well and as you can see it's applicable to every originally it was going to be the language of computers because it had such a binary element to it yeah we are we are practicing Catholics I we adore our faith and I've found a huge piece on that but then Sanskrit is wonderful for meditation is wonderful for chanting prayers most of ours we do are pretty universal it'd be hard to argue with with the meanings of the stuff just basically invoking God asking for clarity and light and blessings and enlightenment and those sort of things and have a deeper connection with our Creator it seems like there's there's a beauty and like an underlying message that you guys talked about and some of the chants talked about as well like being able to see God in everything in every facet of our life of our reality that if you trace it back and look into it or meditate upon it you'll see the hand of God in everything is that kind of one of the underlying messages as well and one funny thing you religion and she just told me this this morning so I always joke my husband is a very practicing Catholic very deeply religious man and I said you know I said it's actually the Catholics fault that we have Sanskrit it's entirely their fault because I tell you this and my sister is going to add her part but in a 1700s the Jesuit priests which are the aspect of the Catholic order that are very scholarly they discovered Sanskrit when they went over to Indian they were like oh my goodness this is really neat and very profound and they brought it back I mean the Jesuit priest brought it in the 1700s to the West and exposed everybody and so I always teased my husband I said well is actually the Catholics fault that we have Sanskrit here in the West it would have just stayed in India because they were completely mesmerized by the prayerful effect that it had in the Rig Veda which is one of the four Vedas the oldest of the origins of Jesus Christ so the origins of his of his prediction that he's coming right so we thought that was that was a wonderful beautiful thing and it just goes to show you and they found out in the 1500 because they were studying with books like oh my gosh there is record these people also started foreseeing the coming of Christ which was which would predate the Old Testament which is kind of cool if you think about it so they're all interlinked and I think we're all really striving to connect with God to have find the meaning of life what is there why are we here and where are we going yeah for sure I think that's the the question that all of us have deep down somewhere and we look for things that help us to cope with that or explain that and some of us it's very easy concepts and we get it okay that's it this is the truth that's in others it's like it's really complex and there's levels and angles and we're just obsessed with it you know and explaining not only where we're going when we leave but why are we here you don't I'm saying some people are just fascinated to know that when they die they're going to heaven of it some people are hold on what is my purpose what is this existence oh it's beautiful that these ideas and poetry's and things like that written in these scriptures kind of like you know stimulate the mind to make you ask the deeper questions in life you know yeah so like as far as like the Hindu texts and things like that for me I'll say this so I look I look for the similarities and things right so I definitely I've come from a Christian background and I'm a believer in Christ and that's my tradition my spiritual practice but it almost seems like like whenever I read the Bible like the people and the figures there's like these allegories of like they represent at least in the Old Testament they represent things in my life or they even do you have different names for God like Jehovah Jireh jehova rapha jehova nissi Alissa's means like the Lord my provider the Lord my helper the Lord my strong tower like anything that you need me to be this God the Hebrew God is like I'll be it for you and so there's different aspects that we get to see and and we get to know God from these other aspects and so that's a way of like a Hebrew understanding there's the Sanskrit and in in like the the Hindu faith kind of point back to that too cuz a lot of people would say something like well there's you know 3000 gods or whatever limitless gods but for me of my little understanding it's almost like they point back to the one like these are an emanation or an aspect of the creator and these are different ways for us to kind of look and see an image a personification that points back to the one is that kind of how it works a little bit in my all for what and that breaks into the different Saints and stuff too with the Catholics right it all is based on God Brahma and that breaks into a trinity to the maintainer the destroyer of ignorance and the creator and then that breaks into more aspects so it's it's still one God and he is manifesting himself in ways trying to get our attention and then they have allegories too they are later on they have the story of the bhagavad-gita they have the story of their ramayana they have their stories as well and they are you know they're their heroes and they have the people who connected with God actually if you want to watch a really easy way to watch a Hindu story and watch The Legend of Bagger Vance it's actually the story of the bhagavad-gita and Bagger Vance the word in it one of the words that it's aspect for God is how Kevon so Bagger Vance and then the head golfer guy his name's are Juna and the head head chariot driver in the story the bhagavad-gita is Arjuna the same characters but it's set in obviously I was in the 30s in the US so if you want to watch if you want to see a Hindu story manifest itself watch them Legend of Bagger Vance even more allegory right I guess interact with us trying to get our attention because the we everyone can relate to it somehow and in Hinduism yes it's the same thing oh there it is one God manifest as many and and the more you study it the more you realize that I I think the majority of religions the more you study in the more you look into it or you have a very similar story but like not everybody's gonna go that deep they just look at the one it's just God and that's it you know what I'm saying versus like the fractals of seeing him or it in everything you know that's the beauty of how they one experience there is no wrong or right just how they see it and that's fine and we are in no way have any desire to try and say oh you have to think you think what you think you believe which is believed and you can you come from where you are you can't people cannot be further or along than they're supposed to be no but none of us can we can we also back terribly right that's the whole that's the whole you know the song and dance with the divine and everybody like talks about how they're like you know cuz sometimes we feel we had to the Bible talks about how pride cometh before a fall and we feel so enlightening we feel so on top of the world and then one thing brings us back and reminds us that we are human and we're having this human experience versus being so lofty and hours and hours in meditation and being a spiritual teacher or whatever the case is but so hold on I'm human and I'm I was put here to to experience this this life and in the beauty and the pain and the sorrow of it all and so you know helping us cope with that religion definitely helps us cope with that and it gets us to appreciate it and I don't think it's a form of escapism obviously some people use it as escapism but it's about being very present and enjoying every aspect of this life you swear you swear that you swore it's like we are horribly flawed people and that's okay that's part of the experience yep it's okay so you got started off chanting Sanskrit and getting these downloads if you will but then you guys started looking into Latin in in Hebrew and I'm more partial to Hebrew that's what I've studied and some of the chants in the prayers and there's obviously all the similarities and there's power and you you know connecting with it what are some of the things of the of the Hebrew texts and things like that that stood out to you guys that's being beautiful as well each and when you say each always indicate one in each each one of us each well that in Hebrew is huh and in Sanskrit meaning one singular obviously with a lot of things but we did we love we might be loved champion Hebrew as long as Latin because they both they also have their root languages that also have sound effects which is really neat one of the main things that we actually end up learning a section I was for when we were like teenagers our church they wanted the original they wanted the original Hebrew that Jesus said on the cross my God my God why have you forsaken me and that was we learned that because priests was like I need to Hebrew for this one thing it's funny when you say is Sanskrit people just give you every dead language or every I was in Catholic school and once I told them I was doing Sanskrit which I didn't actually want to my mother said shut do not tell anybody anything just be quiet and then some of the kids started having dreams and they're like I had to come out of the spiritual closet and say yes I do Sanskrit but then I started getting pulled out of the class by the priests and nuns because they had all this Latin work they wanted me to do you would do this will you translate this and I was like just do it you'll be fine and I was just a stupid kid I was like yeah sure Wow now as far as like we're looking at these other languages and they're beautiful I think they're magical languages and and the powerful if we're talking about Sanskrit all my Hebrew even Latin Greek and things like that like when we talk about the English language some people would say that it's like the English language is not as powerful my studies on the English language I feel like it's very much a magical language like it takes the pieces of everything and compiles it together I feel like the English language is like meticulously created to have spells like our words or power right this is this is come this comes from Hebrew this comes from Sanskrit as well to understand the power abracadabra create as I speak it I'm creating it and and things like that so what about some of that those ideas that cross over into the English language with are there any Sanskrit words or ideas that that cross over that stand out to you which means that comes from the Sanskrit word which means feet to stay to stand to be still goes to the Latin story and then to the Sanskrit word studies that have been done on the effects of English has on has on things on a cellular level so they've you know they'll sit and say horrible things to a plant in a month and the plant just dissolves so and then they say beautiful things and love and or the you know dr. moto studies with crystals and how beautiful they became when you keep just the word love and obviously this was not in Sanskrit but it does it shows you even in English it is and we always say that English is just a watered down version of all these ancient languages but it still holds a very profound effect and obviously also your intentions when you say them if these are good words regardless of the language that it is in it has a huge impact on on whatever you're saying it - whether that be a plant or a person or and also I think English is neat in the fact there's a poetic that we can use there's it there's an ability to express ourselves with tremendous intricacy in the language that I think English English possesses that the ancient languages are neat and very meditative the English language gives us gives us the tools to describe those experiences you have to you like have to describe it because like and I'm just coming from Hebraic root like even the word love like what kind of love like we have to describe what kind of love that is and you have a love for your friend you have a love for God you have a love for a chocolate you know there's different levels and different relationships that we have with that word and and they have different words in Hebrew and in Sanskrit but in English we have to like describe that love and tell you more about it versus just using this word and so that's something that's been lost as well and it helps us to kind of dive in deeper to the ancient texts as well to really get a deeper meaning of what they were trying to convey at the time because us in English it's a little bit of its lost and we have to study we have to concentrate exactly we have a program that we came out with just a couple months ago right before the coronavirus situation happened and they're just bija mantras they're in there and you just chant them slowly and they are so profound and they're very very simple it's called healing mantras and that was just for that reason that you could bombard your system bombard all yourselves with those perfect basic CMOS anybody can do it and they don't they're not really um they're not really they're not being done for the meaning they're being done for the vibratory quality and I'm actually have it on our website under healing mantras and you get this whole course and a meditation video and can chant along with the video these very peaceful very simple almost yeah and the meanings are important but the the way it makes you feel and the way it vibrates your whole body but I was working on it in the studio is across from our bedroom my husband's like please put that on headphones please start making as you're making me high as it does it just raises your energy level raises your vibration and it feels incredible so we created a course that everyone could just download very pure vibrations very pure simple seed mantras so everyone can go tap into this and go and see is a chant the Vedas you can listen to the Vedas and enjoy that and then chant healing mantras that you can fill your body with that's awesome whenever we do spiritual practice we do a lot of prayer a lot of breath work and stuff and a lot of that comes from from India as well right and so there's some there's some chance that I'd really love to do and and I go back to both that there's some Hebrew chants that we like to do and there's also some Sanskrit stuff that we like to do in it it changes the vibration of the room that you're sitting in like you said people feel like they're high because it's like this higher vibrational frequency that you're tapping into and their ancient prayers their ancient poems even that set the intention and it permeates the atmosphere just looking at the power of words one of the ones that I like to do is ramadasa are you guys familiar with that one yeah but it's neat it's fun to sing and that one's cute everyone likes someone but it's kind of our healing mantras has a similar experience to that and that's that was reasonably creative people are like oh I like listening Tomatoes now I want to do that myself and and it's like so we created a way that they can have that quickly but we have own one of the pieces that we if you want us to sing for you we did it's actually Sanskrit but we wrote it to sound like Latin and it's about Jesus yeah and it's cool but it's that was awesome beautiful yes no I can even like when you guys go high you can feel like the energy like being in up high and as you can feel it like if you were meditating or if I were if I knew the words the thing with you it would just totally put you in that and that state for sure like so and it sounds beautiful but what are you saying would it would like what are you like what was the idea that you were trying to get across about Jesus in that because it was beautiful thank you he came here to bring to connect with us and to have compassion with us and to remove the sin or karma depends on your talking east or west to help removers the sin and karma from the world and to bring about a state of heaven on earth ourselves creation in ourselves do y'all have that recorded on anything yet it was used on a TV show flash-forward Wow that's awesome you guys were also on a GT is that correct America's Got Talent no no this is chants Sanskrit and then they had a pop tune it was about taking your clothes I like sing got it now too and I'm we were stupid and did yes we did and we should know remember it was so stupid and they just wanted to see if we could do both and and being young and not thinking about it we just said it we just saying oh whatever they asked us to sing well we did get to chant a big we got just chant two things in Sanskrit but then they wanted to tease us they wanted to tease us so and we fell for it just hook line sinker there's something there's something that you guys a chant and I would just want to know the meaning of this as well something you guys sing about and I think this is even in English when used to sing it but it's a walking with the Davis what are the Davis second album and Sarah drew these little angel figures Photoshop the Angels in with my sister and I stretching and shrinking before like it right now they can do anything all the sophistication but at that time it wasn't it was so the day was I angels yes have you guys ever had any supernatural experiences with with the angelic or seeing angels or Jesus or any of these dreams or anything like that lots of dreams I cannot believe I am we then couldn't hear anything here and we did this all the time because obviously we were used to happen to me I used to go to metal shows heavy metal shows ok the vibration it makes us so weak we always chant outward and give that to the because ill it'll fry it is very Sanskrit buzz yes yeah the Sanskrit buzz which we used to be getting in trouble because they say is irreverent to say that but yeah raises your vibration we were chanting yeah exactly so that's a little cool experience and also just like I have experienced and I know my sisters is a time that slows down so when you are in heightened states of spiritual awareness you become almost superhuman time slows down and you see things with tremendous clarity colors are vibrant and life is very interactive and you see things as the Creator and tended us to see things that's incredible you could do all your energy centers in your body open and you just are this clear superhuman version of yourself but not in a weird way not in a magical I wouldn't say it's magical I'd say it's who were actually really supposed to be yeah without all the clutter and all tapping back into it almost right yes absolutely and I think it's it's who we probably are on the other side after we don't aren't limited by the stresses and the difficulty of your body so even with that being said that that idea of like your body kind of vibrating and radiating at a frequency when we talk about ohm chanting ohm and a lot of people say it's not ohm it's um a um and um and that M it kind of feels like it's up here like it's stimulating your third eye like it's vibrating is that is that something that that happens when you're doing some of these chants like differ it like activates different parts of the body specifically the third eye or something like that well AUM still spells ohm but what they're doing is they're bringing it into a trinity of sounds mm-hmm and actually Sarah can do an ohm I don't know if he's up for it I'm hearing her on the spot um she can chant ohm and cover all the Sanskrit alphabet mouth positions sorry I just do that actually didn't but and it's cool and it does it and that's why AUM is indicative of it covering all the different covers the whole spectrum in the body energy centers in the body of your chakras not chakra chakra chakras are owls and chakras are the energy centers in your body and those all look like lotuses and you have them all the way starting at the base of your back all the way to the top of your head are lotuses and as they open Sanskrit can be used absolutely and yoga and meditation and breathing techniques can be used to open these energy centers to give you a more intense human experience I don't know if the lady had when she so Sara and I also teach Sanskrit Sanskrit class the workbook is based on the alphabet and we do we focus on using the mouth and the different meridians of the mouth because it stimulates different parts of the brain you go pituitary gland different elements of the brain are stimulated by hitting these different pressure points on in your mouth chanting their brains are bigger and they have more gray matter and these are scientific studies not making us she studied the scans people who chanted Sanskrit the Vedas specifically and people who did not and it is completely different it was really neat so it's pretty much just learning how to maybe enter the flow state and just like slow the brain down as far as like getting all of the the chatter out it's like once you get really good at it then you're you're like that becomes your new plum line like your plum line isn't chaos and confusing and running your plum line is a peace and a balance of life and they're even showing that in in these brain scans as well right there's a lot of articles we put them on our own Facebook page just because every time I see them like this is awesome we've been saying this for years and so well Sanskrit is not the most practical language you're not gonna go to Sanskrit land to get to speak it at the airport but you own but it is a good tool that's always talked about it is a tool for clay creating that clarity in the mind so you can you can think and you can be a better version of yourself have you guys been named vibrations we have we have negative vibrations out there and that's where all the ugly are aspects of life from then we also have the pure very the celestial the spiritual the godly the divine vibrations out there too and those are harder to grab and pull into oneself obviously we struggle throughout our entire lifetimes doing it we have our moments and then our Falls and Sanskrit it's like plucking those out and you grab them and you pull them into yourself and you don't have to learn Sanskrit although that's awesome you can also just listen to it it's everything you can play it in your house and watch your watch your plants I'll get really big because their cells like it too time and contemplation time it's time to go back and refine yourself and this has been a good time I would say for all society even though to tap into their real self to tap into their their more peaceful moans you know if you pull the string too tight it snaps and I see a view that before this whole run of a virus we were all pulling the string really really tight and it was just kind of like where do you even go from here life is so hectic and so crazy and then this just we just slackened the line and I think that's this is a good time to treat a pin to all these spiritual and that's why everybody's getting more spiritual and you can the good in the world as you're seeing so many what people do wonderful say lots of giving lots of big heart lots of compassion and I love how the TV hosts are all saying okay god bless you and I'm like oh I didn't even know you were spiritual also know their religion and their spirituality is coming out it's just making me happy all these people teaching meditation on TV so hopefully we learn I think we are I think we're all learning I mean I think we're given creation we're given the earthy a chance to breathe again too which is really interesting like it's different being out in nature now you know watching the animals and feeling the wind like putting your feet on the ground everything's different out in nature right now and that's what we're in right now and we should enjoy it but Mari she you know the man who teach who brought about TM who taught the Beatles and then now it's really popular among celebrities TM we're and we practice TM ourselves Transcendental Meditation but he used talks about the bow and if you've got to pull the bow back in order for the arrow to go through if you're never pulling the bow back the arrow is never gonna go very far and so right now we're pulling the bow back you're not able to do it so pull your boat after your so there's a level of insanity and right now everyone's peaceful so when the world goes off pause we're all gonna be dynamic brilliant successful people because we'll have taken a pause we'll pull the bow back and we're ready to aim do you think this is something that obviously as a people we're doing that but do you think there's something that people need to like take advantage of and make sure that they're doing it themselves like doing the inward reflection creating something that they've always wanted to do and kind of like when everything opens back up they'll be in the perfect position where they can birth that into creation right really high anxiety right now and they're kind of freaking out and but sometimes you need that discomfort to then have other things blossom out of it because discomfort is what creates what higher levels of spirituality emits what makes you go try to find yourself and go try to find deeper meanings and things whereas before we had so many distractions we weren't really doing that because the mind was always distracted by something by Facebook Twitter or whatever is going on in the world um and I think you have kids oh my gosh they you're driving them here and driving them there and they need lunch and everybody needs dinner and everyone's hungry in and now it's so nice you just it's just total peace it'll drive everybody crazy if it goes on long forever but take advantage of it right now say thank you that was a very special and we all learned a lot of things during that time about ourselves and about others and we get there as you said we gave the earth and the environment a break and I'm hoping I don't hope you learned something from hopefully man we're definitely at a precipice and we can make some really good changes and choices right now hopefully we'll do that oil is dropping like the price of oil that you're gonna have to like pay people to come get the oil and take the oil hopefully man with this whole free energy and green energy movement and things like that just kind of kind of uh you know blossom and flourish from this and hopefully we make some changes that we need to be making as a as a people would be awesome have you guys been to India well the kids would really like to go to her two daughters are two and five and minor three and six so they're still a little young right now it's like it's still fun cuz the world is really I think the Internet's created a state of unity consciousness you want to talk to somebody from India you can talk immediately you can be you can be anywhere and with anybody instantly and so there's kind of unity consciousness so kind of India's everywhere now but you guys were talking with people from India early on right you guys were getting some pretty strange phone calls and stuff yes when y'all were younger we studied with with professors and pundits and we had a lot of here in Rio when we were younger and we were you know we first been initiated into Transcendental Meditation there was various individuals that were bringing people over from India teaching annotation and beta concepts doing doing them the soap puja switcher is a ceremony of thanksgiving because we're in Reno and obviously there's gambling and the most extreme on both their most extreme so they were bringing their just some really cool stuff we were little and we can we're trying to keep we're trying to continue that on yes lots of neat meditation groups vegetarianism was not like a novel thing and it was a more innocent time and now we wrote a song perfectly capturing not only our description of you know the innocence of what we grew up in and then how much things have changed and then who are we in the midst of all this and then this is obviously very applicable to right now as well because who the heck are we when you have to stand still yes in our new album it's kind of the ultimate existential question of who am i serious like you really know who you are and you don't you know and and then the illusory aspects of like the illusions of life that distract you from finding your true self which obviously we are always battling against scary right for some people like to really find out who you are outside of what you do you know really well I am rich that's who I am well you're rich until you're not or you're poor until you're not so who are you you're you're neither rich or poor you are you are something greater than both of those oh you're a human until you're not you know because it gets deeper like there's layers to the onion and I am NOT my job or I am NOT you know this persona that I've become right I'm just I'm one with everything and this layers to that and I really think that spirituality and spiritual practice really help us to actually hone in on the present moment versus like undoing all of these layers of who we are and introducing ourselves and this is my title and I'm a podcaster and I'm this this is this is temporary we're just passing through but it's like they eternal essence of where we came from again asking the bigger questions and and not in is scary for some people because we're defined like our identity is in what we do but we know that that's not you know how it's supposed to be that's not who we are as you said to peel away those layers and then we okay with just sitting with yourself your true self because when you leave that's all you're taking with you don't take any of this when we leave we're not sanskrit singers and and you're not a podcaster what you're something yeah you're greater than that and you're this is a role that you're playing you know it was at Shakespeare's that all the world's a stage mm-hmm right now we're all these characters but these are not who we really are it's awesome so you guys have another song I want to bless us with no it's our new album something beautiful which are made basically an album composed of quotes from awesome 11 and that's on the new album it's awesome thank you so much for having us on I love it that's a deep question too what if I'm not real what if I'm a little bit I'm something else beyond what you see I love it you're struggling to try to figure out who are you in this state where things were just completely shaken up which is where we're kind of at right now in life yep 100% and that's the spiritual pursuit and there's layers to it and it's the beautiful thing you know and we think we thought we knew that was that's a big a big statement in spirituality like for me it's like I thought I knew but then there's another layer then there's another layer and it's so cool and just how we're all connected and all that as well man thank you guys for coming on you guys have y'all's new album is here and you

love joy peace patience like the fruits of the spirit even and so that's how you check judge somebody based off of their fruit you judge somebody based off of what they're bringing to the table you don't judge them based off of their language or that they're you know in a religion that's different than you or whatever judge them off at a fruit man and you partake it at good fruit which is love god is love right anybody who's doing that so I really really love that and so some powerful Sanskrit mantras prayers and things like that they're like I said when we do our men's retreat and we get together we all we do some Sanskrit chanting and some Hebrew chanting as well as some Hebraic stuff and it's so beautiful like because you can relate like connect the dots some of the things that they're saying about Sanskrit you know I say about the Hebrew language I say about reading the Psalms a magical experience with with the Creator in ancient language that's telling the story these poems about life about travail and if you encode them and look deeper into them you find an encounter or an experience with God because everything points back to him so awesome and how everything is connected man enjoyed that talk for those of you who haven't seen this yet for those of you who are listening on the podcast apps maybe you haven't been following or been seen but I've been doing these short testimony kind of stories about spiritual encounters that I've had as well those are uploaded on my youtube so if you go to youtube you can check it out there and make sure y'all click the notification bell so you're notified whenever we're go live and you guys can join the notification army and be some of the first ones who comment and like the video and kind of help it trigger the algorithms to show it to more people but I've done a couple over the last week or so I don't know if I'm doing too many y'all let me know if it's becoming too many but they're little shorts you know a lot of them are stories that I've been talking about on the podcast for years but I'm kind of giving them their own video giving them their own and I put music behind it and there's some different cinematic scenes of like helps tell the story that I'm kind of producing them so feel really good about them and I've been doing a handful of those and they're there seem to be getting shared out a good bit so if you're listening on the podcast apps and you haven't seen these videos make sure you go to my YouTube and check it out under I think it's called mystical encounters with true seeker so the goal is to kind of go back and forth with beautiful stories of light and love the angelic so encounters with Jesus angels miracles healings and things like that so to do a video about that and then to do a video about the darkside about dealing with the demonic demons possession things like that spiritual warfare so to go back and forth so do one like video one dog video and not just do all dark or all light and to try to just give you just a bird's eye view of what spiritual warfare it looks like and there's two sides to every coin there is the good there is the love and there is the light but there is the darkness and stuff and for me I think this podcast and my story just kind of paints a picture of what like a contrast between the two like I appreciate the light because I've been through the darkness and the interesting thing is like most people are they resonate with the dark side because it's almost like it's like default for a lot of people like a lot of people come into this world and they given our Delta a bad hand or their default is just the easy lower-level stuff that's you know dealing with the darkness and so many people have had encounters with you know like sleep terrors and sleep paralysis news those are some of my most popular interviews is the dark stuff in the angelic higher frequency stuff they're not as popular but I think that all the encounters every single one that leaves us changed and gives us a bigger picture when it comes to understanding the spirit world and understanding God in the nature of reality and how they exist and you know giving us some type of frame of reference for these these encounters and so I've been doing that both of them know the counters with Jesus and feeling his presence and tapping into his spirit and then demonic possession sleep terror night terror I'm gonna cover it all and really there's so much that now that I've been kind of writing out ideas about these videos there's so much that I've kind of like overlooked or like I felt like they weren't like really big pieces of the puzzle with telling the story like I'll leave it out and or just not mention it but now like I'm doing overviews I'm like you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna give this its own video just one thing that was just like it's like somebody asked me on one of the videos like what are the names of the demons that came out like going through spirit possession whether I've casted out demons out of people or had them come out of me I'm gonna speak from firsthand experience like I've been through a lot of coming out of the occult coming out of witchcraft like I've had I've been through it the screaming the cry in there I mean crazy demonic laughter just wild out-of-this-world stuff and I'm just gonna be vulnerable and open and honest and uh and key in on some of the things that I don't talk about as much or just kind of talk about it just in passing so I'm gonna give it its own story I'm telling you so they're already like I'm getting a lot of a lot of messages and emails about how it's helping people and people who are dealing with these type of entities like you need help right so like if you're dealing with the darkness you need help to kind of step out of the darkness and into the light most of the people who are already in the light you're already having angelic encounters you're having beautiful encounters with the Lord and stuff like that you really you kind of got it figured out you don't really you know you're not looking for answers you're not scouring the Internet you're not messaging people looking for help you're kind of good but it's people who are in the negative they're still in the darkness right now this is still their story I'm so far removed from it that's not my story about longshot anymore but it's a part of who I am and so just to remember that and to remember that there's people who are still in that they they're still in it they're still struggling with addiction they're still you know they got see demonic thoughts and demons and things like that when they closed their eyes and they don't know how to shut it off so I think speaking about this just kind of brings it to the forefront and people organically find these videos I'm getting so many messages right now because of this stuff and doing these videos about the dark side because people are looking for answers they're looking for help and I've kind of made it a thing to just organically pray for people like if I do a video what sharing a story about sleep paralysis I'm gonna give you my story I'm gonna give you some biblical reference and then I'm gonna do a prayer for anybody struggling with it cuz like when when the Holy Spirit shows up you know that stuff got to stop light and dark doesn't coexist together darkness is it's a place where there's an absence of the light and so once the light stops in the king of glory the Son of God the light of the world steps down into darkness your situation changes no matter what you're dealing with no matter what you're scared of no matter what is showing itself to you so to be really tactful and put myself in places and in front of people who are dealing with that stuff it's kind of what this whole podcast is exist off of you guys have been here long enough to know that but I'll just be open and honest with this story you know my story and there's so much that I even forgot about or overlook or don't think that it that people would care to like okay let's just give it its own own story you know there's some interesting stuff guys I'm gonna be it's gonna be kind of intricate it's gonna get pretty far out weird stuff but hey that's what people like they like the demonic they like that they're intrigued by that stuff and how it works I was you know but I think there's a right way and a wrong way to engage with the spirit realm and I've done both I've done it the wrong way and I've done it the right way I don't want to just be open and honest to to help people right be open look just that's what the podcast is this is working that didn't work don't do it it didn't work this works I'm seeing a lot of progress in this area of my life because I'm doing this and I interview people from all walks of life and all across the spectrum who are open and honest about their walk listen I chant Sanskrit beautiful prayers to to Jesus and to God and it makes me feel good I feel hi my body is buzzing I feel really good after doing this hey let's try it you know what I'm saying whatever is working if everybody brought that piece of the puzzle to the table and let us know what's working for them and then also let us know what didn't work I think that we'll uh we will die that is ascension you know I'm saying that is us being able to move in a higher state of consciousness and not have to fall into the same pitfalls because we're able to learn from our own mistakes but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others as well so be open honest transparent authenticity is key and just be open with your story read some of these comments here for I jump off adams star seed says do more shorts you inspired me to do the same heck yeah and he says yep shadow beings Jeremy says tell it that's awesome stuff Chris garner says dark encounters often leave you with more questions than the positive side yeah Jeffrey says thanks for the transparency Beloved Disciple says I get full of light looking for people in the darkness to get them out yeah especially the ones who want to come out you know what I'm saying I'm not forcing anybody you can't force anybody out you know idea I'm getting a lot of messages too with people who have family members who were in the dark occult stuff or dark satanic stuff witchcraft like there's you know there's magic is what we're doing like everything is magic words are magic thoughts are magic your prayers are magic right we're dealing with spirituality but there's a dark side to it as well like you can get into the the opposite of light is dark and a lot of people are still in that stuff maybe you haven't experienced it I'm removed from it I have to remind myself but it gets dark there's some dark stuff out there people are dealing with with opening their mind through like you know I'm saying like pharmaceuticals and addiction and man it gets dark and people are messaging me to have family members and they need help and they want to know how to get them out of that and how to help them cope and I'm just been open and honest with when I was in it that's all I could do I'm not gonna speak on anything else the beautiful thing is I've been through the whole spectrum of it counters and experiences and things like that that I feel like I have a right to speak on a lot of this stuff and if all I'm doing is being open and honest with my story and this work then this didn't and if you're looking for help this is what helped me so Adam says a video about the perception of what of what light and dark is would be a good video from you yeah I mean again going light in darkness do it all going back and forth from the videos you you you should get to see that this is a video about the light this is a video about it an encounter with Christ and this is a video about a encounter with a demon who came to steal kill and destroy there are beings out there that want to steal kill and destroy and there is another being out there that wants to bring life and life more abundantly so there's a difference they're all not the same all beings aren't created the same they all serve a purpose you know some of the ones that come to steal kill and destroy end up pointing you to the one that brings life because you don't have a contrast you don't know what life is unless you've been through you know the depths of darkness you can't appreciate the marvelous light of Christ and so just being open and honest with it and it's helping people so you do the same thing be open and honest about your story open and honest about your experience and if you help one it worked and I'll go I read the comments and I've it's way more than one so I'm already good it helped one person a I'll do it I'll make another one I'm gonna talk about it just because I'm not going through it anymore I do have experience with it I'm not glorifying that stuff but I want to give a frame of reference and shout out to you Adam Adam what you would hit me up and say I feel like there's a lot that you're holding back true seeker you hold him back from us a little bit and I want to get that out of you you know and I Adam would always hit me up and say that and I'm like well yeah there is so you know and when I do the podcasts which I feel like it takes up a lot of time even though I'm doing two or three a week and then interviews and those kind of done I have to prepare them to launch them and things like that so I feel like it takes up a lot of time with that being said I'm kind of at the at the mercy of whatever the guest wants to talk about and and that's from every every range and walk of life whatever they want to talk about whatever the thing is we're gonna talk about if it's aliens we're gonna talk about it if it's prophetic we're gonna talk about it if it's Jesus if it whatever and so I don't think that there's anything that I can't talk about but I meant kind of at the mercy of hosting a show and creating dialogue and give them a room and do that so but in the midst of that it kind of takes a lot out of me of doing all of these podcasting and uh and talking about these stories that my own stuff I have kind of held back because it just makes it to where I haven't been a creating content where I kind of like put my story on the forefront I would say I weave it into the podcast I weave it in you know at the end even now kind of open it up and I look for ways to share my experiences that relate to the guest who's on the show if they're talking about sleep paralysis good the perfect ground for me to talk about my encounters but even even with that format you got to be a podcast person you got to be a livestream person if you're not you got to be I mean we're on hour and fifteen minutes that's intimidating for a lot of people who's in attention spans are really short you know they're not gonna they're not gonna listen to at the end of this but some of you guys are so making these shorter videos I think are gonna open up a lot of doors and they already have I've got about five out there if you had guys have not had a chance to check them out make sure that you go check them out I did the one about a beautiful encounter that I had with Jesus where we were and I've shared this many times it's in my book pray we were in prayer and I had this beautiful vision of Jesus that changed my life and he gave me his burden which was a beautiful light burden but it was also very very traumatic and it was very hurtful and painful to to see the world and feel the pain that he went through but I went into detail about that when in detail about my encounter which is like my big one or whatever with with pops and the stealing from a witch in a warlock and how an entity formed in front of us and attacked me and my cousin the crazy story changed my life I did a video about that one did a video about the power of worship of how when I was coming out of witchcraft and I would get crazy headed dealing with like streams of schizophrenia if you will in states of it even coming out of that and how it was a long hard road to really walk in spiritual victory and freedom and some of the things that helped me and one of the big helpme was listening to worship music and I would have I would you know if you watched a video I would be having dinner with my wife at a nice restaurant out of town and I would just get overwhelmed by all the voices talking at the same time and I had to get up and leave hey take the check and I just walk out and go sit in the car and I had to put on worship music and I've been around people like that I've no friends who I'm up you know hangouts and parties and the same thing that happened to me happens to them so I'm let them know how to get through it some of them don't know how to get through it some of them self-medicate with alcohol or or pills and things like that because it's so overwhelming and it could because you'd be because you're empathic because you're able to see and hear into the spirit realm you know what these people are thinking all at one time it's overwhelming but tapping into a state of worship of honoring the father and me immediately changes the situation so I did a story on that and then did another story yesterday I believe I put it out day before yesterday was about my baptism in the Holy Spirit and how I came into relationship with Jesus and that initial baptism into Christ and my spirit merging with the Spirit of God as he set his seal upon me he put his spirit within me the Holy Spirit and changed my life and how that felt and I talk about it all the time but again I feel like it deserves its own video so if you haven't checked those out and you're listening on the podcast I urge you just go to the YouTube channel there's a playlist with like right now there's about 4 videos in there and check them they're all short and check them out make sure you share them with your friends there's something in there that people need to hear for sure I'm already getting the messages from from people and other people
