reached out to me uh checked your website out your books everything that you bring to the table and right so you usually just gotta pick a cool name for the episode i picked animals there was some kind of like um dust bunny fox thing it's a really cute animal so we're gonna be talking about animal archetypes and spiritual connection with animals but you cover so much more and i want to talk about it all but um for those who don't know who you are what you bring to the table it's the first time hearing hearing about you just kind of give a quick overview we'll start there then we'll just jump in all right overview wow well you know the fact that you're talking so much about ufology i guess you call it i mean that's part of my story i don't even talk about that much but you know that's really we could talk the whole time about my experience and my parents experience it's like a family thing but basically um you know who am i well i'm just like an ordinary person but i've always been uh consumed by creativity so art and uh and making things and books and sharing and experiencing and podcasting and filmmaking with my husband and sculpture you name it i've done it and um i'm also a traveler i lived in the west indies for many years you know whenever anybody gets pissed off about government i just say hey go somewhere and live somewhere else where you really really have an oppressed government and see what it's like to live under a dictatorship so i i spent a lot of time in uh very small third world places in the west indies i had a a desire to just live with people simple people of the bush i call it and um so my story as an artist began when i got involved with plants i was a botanical illustrator for heavy-duty ethnobotanists which are the plant shamans so now everybody's talking about plant medicine these days and i was in the early days of you know discovering this at harvard i was the botanical illustrator for people who are studying coca ayahuasca all the mushrooms all the different plants that alter consciousness and most of these studies were funded by the government because the government in the 70s said whoa what's going on you know harvard had leary and albert who became bob arandas and they were the guys who said you know take lsd drop out and tune in and then um richard alfred went to india and he came back as proper around us and he said no man you don't need drugs you just need to go within and that's my story too my i totally do not do any substances and i am a meditator for decades and totally sober just get high off of chanting and meditating and being with good people and spreading good vibes so that's who i am awesome that's who we are yeah minus the uh the substances if you will i wouldn't want to call them that but uh i'm drinking coffee right now did some rat pay rape yesterday yeah grounding and i had a beautiful encounter i got a good friend of mine who's uh going through some stuff and relationship issues and and he's just got a lot of heaviness on him and the last several times i've seen him it's been heaviness and we hung out we went to the gym yesterday he comes over and um he's telling me a story and telling me what's going on and i know i know how bad it hurts and and he just carries it on them and i'm like hey can you help me take some pictures from my album cover sure i was like you know what you're doing me a favor i got a favor for you man um you want to get rid of that stuff sure so we kind of go outside and do some grounding and i just kind of share my practice with him of of of uh working with rape and uh shamanic snuff and and and grounding and draining and getting all of the negative energies and ions off and out of you and i had a beautiful encounter with him and connecting with the earth putting your feet on the earth but there's something else i've recently been doing we know grounding and walking barefoot and that kind of thing and just release that negativity whatever you're carrying yeah it's powerful but i started putting my hands on the earth too and just getting a big handful of grass and connecting and getting it out of you and and i tell you what he uh he felt a lot better he got some clarity on some things once he removed all that negativity and just the stuff that was clouding up his mind and uh he was like a different person after that little session yesterday and it was kind of spur of the moment to do so the reason i bring that up is that one thing that that you talk about is something called earth magic and i just wanted to to pick your brain a little bit about you know what that term means to you earth magic working with the earth and gaia and things like that oh yeah well gaia gaia is the goddess gaia is the mother and that's the ancient name and the gaia magic and anybody in a city i feel so sorry for them i've spent my time i've lived in cities i know how hard it is to to have nothing but cement and and skyscrapers around and you know you kind of try to find the sky but even city people can connect with the earth by hugging trees or growing plants or just like you say keeping grounded even if you're in a 25th story apartment you can visualize that your roots are coming out of your spine and that you're connected to the earth and your feet are grounded on the earth but yet you're being extended ever upwards by the cosmic magnificence of this universe so for me the earth magic is really to always be grounded because this is how i feel as an earthling it's a it's a privilege to be a human being it really is because we have this consciousness and we have this ability to communicate and create it's just awesome i mean you know the animals in the forest they they're like winging it with what they got and the beavers who make their dams and you know the the animals that can just barely catch a few little ants to eat i mean they're they're considered kings of the animal kingdom but we we can build rockets you know we're going to other planets so the earth magic is just unlimited when you really connect with it and i like you do rituals and i do a change and when i am in a low vibration i say okay let's change this however we can and people have to find what's comfortable with them what works for one person won't work with another yeah it's just like marijuana everybody gets different effects with with pot you know like i used to be a pothead now i just can't even smell it because it just makes my energy different we evolve we become different so the you were talking about grounding in the earth right now i'm doing a lot of floating i live by the ocean and i'm i'm into this floating thing and i i get in a trough where i look for a sandbar and here's the beach and i'm just in this middle and i'm just like floating and i'm absorbing all the power from the ocean because lucky me i live by the ocean and if i live by a mountain i would be getting that from the mountain or the desert if i live by the desert or the jungle wherever we are we have nature and the magic of nature is to really remember that we are animals you know so many of us just forget we're so into our cerebral stuff we have to have explanations and we like all those people who just have a million different ways of communicating with words but yet when you get still and you have this ability to just be a wild creature of the earth and feel the molecular connection that's the magic that's really where the magic begins but to get to that place of course like you said when you're in a negative place you have to learn how to transform low energy into high energy you have to just feel it and want it want it so much that you say you know what this sucks i am not going to accept a low energy i'm not going to accept low energy friends i'm going to go for the maximum that i have each day each moment and and you can choose that it's a it's an awesome choice to make when you say hey i'm not going to settle for anything less than the highest that there's available um and that's powerful and trying to tap into mindfulness and that's what i was sharing with my friend yesterday because there's so many ideas there's so many what ifs and things that don't even exist they're not real but to you they are all all of these scenarios are real but but none of them are and so when you allow those scenarios and things to take you out of the now moment to where you can't be still and and know god because you're living in a fantasy world that that's not here yet it's not present and so that's why i think that our moment is so powerful when we mention plant teachers and mention deep realms of meditation there's this there's this uh message that comes forth just to be present enjoy being a human going back to what you said a while ago there's so many people who want to escape and when they we mention substance it's to escape it is to to you know unplug and and and not be human for a little bit you know to to live in your imagination to to get uh stimulated by something else so that you feel alive or it's just that you feel something different and so this notion that that we are humans and and we get to experience this for now like for now like it's powerful because i believe you know in the afterlife or whatever happens after this i don't think it looks or feels like this i don't think there's dogs or chocolate or skating rinks or rain or uh you know dirt to grab and to rub on your face you know i don't i don't i don't think that there's heartache i don't think that there's a breakup you know i think it's totally different i think it's special it's unique and of itself but this place is too so that magic of sitting in that thank you that i get to be here now it's it's magic the magic moment of the now that's what i thought yeah man it's magic when you really right here right now and there's no past and there's no future and you're not worried and you're not anxious because all those weird uncomfortable feelings come because you're either in the past yeah worried about what's up happened you know yesterday or yesterday or whatever or you're anxious about what's going to happen in the future but if you are totally present and anchored in this moment whether you're floating in the ocean or grounded in the earth or up in a skyscraper and feeling connected to the earth but yet feeling connected to the infinite possibilities of this universe then that's where the magic really happens that that truly is god that moment right there now with you being a creative and i say this because i've dealt with it i deal with it uh there's a place that you go for inspiration there's a there's a possibility of starting something that doesn't exist and you kind of got to go in the ether you kind of got to go in the mine or the future what if i became a great podcaster what would that be like and say okay i want to do it so there is this like these trips we take i would say to the uh the future to say okay that's a that's what i want to bring that into my life and and now let me come back to the now because there's a way to do that there's steps i got to take there's phone calls i got to make there's websites i gotta build you know and so we travel to the future in this land of make believe in our mind a vision and then i feel like we also kind of ask shaman to travel dimensions and go to the past as well to bring forth healing to the younger version of yourself who was uh wronged and who was cursed out and who was neglected and so even in the past not that we lived there but i feel like there's times where we traveled as healers to speak peace to our past even people we work with like my friend yesterday um yeah but not getting stuck in either dimension or realm and always making it back after that journey that can take that can take place in in a span of two seconds right you make plans and you live like you can live forever but you let go of all that to live in the moment so the goal thing is important and i'm a real big goal maker i always make the winter solstice is my special goal making day for the year and my husband and i have been masterminding we we've been married for 30 years and from the beginning of our marriage we brought masterminding in which is spiritual goal setting and you let go of the past and you just focus on what you want to achieve and you know it's it's really interesting when you make it a spiritual practice to have a goal setting but um you know what you what you said about going into the past to heal the injured child because i came from a pretty big severe dose of abuse and i had to do my work we all have to do our work none of us get out of jail on a free pass in life you know we're here to evolve i mean we are spirits and we have to do the work that's blocking us from being one with the divine so however we do the work has to be done but i truly believe that once you do it you bust through you just don't have to keep repeating it so you have to do the work and do it really challengingly and bravely and just dive right into it don't be afraid of fear when it arises yeah that's good and with mindfulness with meditation and you know the power of it because it's something that's helped you it's something that's benefited you in your life you ended up uh going into a place in a time of your life where you were teaching mindfulness yoga and meditation at juvenile facilities like little detention centers and prisons and things like that how was how was that experience man it is awesome to like help others who really need it i mean out in the regular world it's very cool to be a yoga teacher but ho-hum everybody's a yoga teacher but when you go into a juvenile detention center where these girls are gangs gang members and they've you know tried to kill their grannies and steal cars since they were 12 years old that's something else and mine too man i said hey you guys are just like me except you got caught earlier yeah you got caught later i got i got away with more of it but i've i've been in jail i've been thrown into a third world jail and i've i've done my time and and when you relate to people who have been uh you know labeled incorrigibles that's what these girls were i mean their eyes pop open they said wow you mean you're not just this really cool lady who's coming to help us you know i said no man i'm just like you but yoga and meditation and stilling the mind and getting high off of life from this magic moment of the now that's what i'm here for and they just loved it from the very first moment you talk about breath work when you teach someone how to take a breath using the diaphragm for the first time and they've never ever explored what it's like to really uh get oxygenated they get high they said whoa what are these like things sparkling in my brain i said that's called oxygen and we are now using our lungs and it's just an amazing thing to see how these young girls they were from 12 to 18 just transformed themselves they were lined up to go to the class where they had to have guards so there was a limited number you had to have a guard for every 12 girls and so we kept the classes small we had no mats i used to bring washcloths so that when we did a pose on the floor they could put a little washcloth on their face so they wouldn't be on this grimy linoleum and i i did it because i really was that girl when i was a teenager and i really had a lot of anger and i drug and i drank and i stole and i did all this stuff and you know i just basically had no guidance and not until many many many years later and so i i related to them and so that's what people should do they should really connect with people who need the help and and the people who are disenfranchised who just don't have yoga teachers coming to you know the place where they live the hood yep yeah there's not many of them in the hood i think there's more now maybe than ever because it's it's it's definitely getting more publicity and people are seeing how powerful it is and uh and they're able to incorporate it with their religion in many cases you know so yeah it's definitely definitely more inclusive with that and we see it a lot more and i'm big on what what you just said like you went to those girls because you saw younger versions of yourself you had a natural empathy for those girls and you really cared versus somebody else coming and acting like they cared and kind of going through a curriculum whether it be you know religious curriculum or if it be yoga but you just don't care with those people you don't connect there's a difference when like this is my people this is the song of my people and i know exactly what it is what what it feels like to be this way how bad it hurts how scared you are how confused you are and all you needed was somebody who would walk this road who cared about you to come and say hey don't go down that path and here's why i'm gonna get into it you know and i'm not the only example there's many more so when you have been through something you have that natural empathy it it it changes it changes things for people and it allows you to go places to be a revolutionary to go places where other people won't go like how many people actually go into the detention centers to do yoga i mean a lot of them are going there preaching and sharing the scriptures and stuff like that but like to think outside the box of something that really impacted me so i'm gonna step out and do this my podcast and my music you know all of it you know for the people that speak speaks to you're not gonna be just a bypasser you it really moves you it you really get it you know it's different it's eclectic and so you know just like us you know we can use that creativity and bring it back to help people get out of whatever situation they're in or have comfort as they go through it and have hope in those things so i'm a big proponent of that natural empathy and people want to find out what their callings is what their what are they called to do it's like whatever dream you had when you was a kid that's a big thing but what are you passionate about what have you been through because like the universe god has a way of cleaning you up and sending you back to the same people that you were you know doing that those things with that you probably shouldn't have been doing because you got a message for them like i'm a bible guy and it's all throughout the scriptures of let me let me get myself straight but i'm coming back for you guys you see it in movies let me let me go on this journey but i'm going to come back i promise i'll come back for you please help us you know and that's the hero's journey to go away to die be reborn and boom i'm back and i'm taking you guys with me exactly yeah christ showed us all how to how to get there how to do it and how to spread the word and just live the love yeah you know no matter what wherever the love is wherever the love takes us that's where we have to go yeah and now it's different for everybody interestingly enough though but while i was teaching the girls for a couple years um a major hurricane because i live in florida a major major part of florida uh i live in st augustine they say it's the oldest city in america but they forget the pueblos the native american pueblos that are 4 000 5 000 years old but saint augustine is a very cool place but when i was teaching i drove to central florida which is no man's land so it was a big drive it was a big effort it was a big sacrifice it wasn't just like getting in my car and going you know down to the store to teach these girls it was a long drive and so as a hurricane this major hurricane was coming the name of the book is in the eye which means there's an analogy of the i meaning we're seeing where the love is we're seeing where our power is our self-empowerment and the eye of the hurricane which is the most forceful the most dangerous of the of a storm so as i was coming closer i used it in the book called in the eye as an analogy of how we all have to go through our storms whether we leave our you know original belief system and go out an adventure and then come back to it or expand and find out that this all-inclusiveness of god god is so big god just takes us to places that we can't imagine and then we come back to our heart and realize oh god is right here right in my heart so by the end of the book the the hurricane hit the facility it hit smack dab in the middle of nowhere this like a hurricane force war and the girls were absolutely terrified but because they had been practicing the yogic technique of meditation of going within learning how to just still their busy mind that chattering mind grounding themselves with being in prison they they had a really wonderful experience the girls who went to my class awesome i've seen a documentary i'm in alabama bible belt and there's a documentary called the dharma brothers uh finding peace in prison i don't know if you've seen that but they had uh somebody came in and was teaching yoga mindfulness and and uh meditation in alabama the prisons here i think it was in birmingham i believe but it was somewhere in in alabama and these guys they did a documentary like film cruise and everything and they're following these people in prison and uh and they're being like radically changed yeah being like they're doing like vipassana they're doing like seven days of silence like these dudes who like really gave themselves over to the to the experience and they're healing the past they're crying these inmates hardened criminals and it was it was it was something that was catching on and it was so beautiful to see but then like you find out at the end of the documentary that the warden who was a christian came and said nope we can't have this we're not teaching eastern mysticism to the inmates and bringing this in we're going to stick to our christian curriculum and all of this kind of stuff and um and and they shut the program down and after all these guys were having like this these amazing results from mindfulness and meditation so it's called the obama brothers if you guys get a chance yeah i would definitely check it out we had the exact same situation the director of the facility thank goodness she manifested me she prayed me up because i volunteered when i first went she's a very enlightened person but the the parents of the children and the local evangelicals who really did not they didn't know that yoga is not a religion yoga is a philosophy it's a way of life you can be a christian you can be a muslim you can be anything you can be whatever you want to be and still be a yogi but actually buddha was a yogi and so buddhism came out of the yogic philosophy but so we had damaged control she called it damage control because all the girls they thought oh my god mom says i'm going to go to hell if i do yoga i said no it's just because your mom just doesn't know she doesn't understand that when you do for instance a pose it's your body that's showing you wow i can do this i ca i don't have to be in a class i don't have to even have a teacher once i know how to get into the pose it's my body and the ability to focus in the now that's showing me and and oh that's what yoga is okay i'll tell mom we had the same problems yeah a documentary and our program was shut down because it was it lost its funding from the government but you know more and more people are taking uh mindfulness and yoga and all these other techniques of opening our higher thoughts into public places and uh some of it's secular and some of it's sponsored by organizations yep that's so so good so powerful for us to to champion that and stick with it and be able to experience that too uh tesla we got to go to a quick commercial break but on the other side i want to i want to talk to you about communing with the animals learning from the animals and these archetypes when i read that part in the book that you put out i was like yeah we got to do that i want to have you on so guys we'll be back with tesla lord right after this elementals are different elementals are really strange i've seen elementals i've had one-on-one experience with elementals i don't know exactly what they are how i know what to call are but i have i've had incidents where i have been in the company of elementals they're spirit creatures like fairies and the irish ratio very big on talking about the the different fairies and the different magical little creatures leprechauns i have seen gnomes and leprechauns and fairies these are what we call the elementals they they are legitimately life forms but they don't live in the world you do they live in a different kind of world an elemental world but we call them the elementals it's uh it's quite a subject life outside of being a human what is life like in the spirit world and that's what you're talking about in your book i explore these concepts and more in my new book spirit realm angels demons spirits and the sovereignty of god forward by jordan maxwell available now at truthseeker.com hi folks i'm santos bonacci and i'm now tuned in to the awakening music is one of the most powerful expressions of truth that we have it is a very powerful consciousness expander and a great medium for transmitting truth check out the work of truth seeker at truthseeker.com for some great and powerful consciousness expanding music and i know they hate it but mother nature described it look within while meditating in silence aloha to you that's what's good thank you truth seeker says what's up what's up true seeker myself we had a deep ass conversation it was a long ass time to buy a smoky one i went off the truth seeker podcast it's the best podcast i mean it really is i've heard of he and his is the best he debunked the prophecy saying i was your president i'm not i'm really not but keep listening and you will learn something cool i'm sure of it like really sure then we bar twenty-one to the mall [Applause] you're listening to the truth seeker podcast now back to the show this is it don't get scared now all right ladies and gentlemen we're back with my guest today tesla lord great conversation so far and uh we got to keep going we got to switch it up i'm reading comments here uh sean pratter says i just tuned in expecting to hear a discussion of animals and instead ran headlong into a dialogue about yoga this must be god's will and uh yeah that's what it is like it's hard to stick to one subject even if i pick a name or something creative or something cool like we talk about it for a little bit or sometimes we don't even talk about it but i want to talk about the animals it's something near and dear to my heart and archetypes is something personas very near and dear to my heart so you wrote you wrote a book on this subject can you just kind of set the framework up about where you was going with with the idea about these archetypes and learning from the animals and communing in that place hybrid vigor is a biological term and it's used by anybody in the biological world and it basically means that you take two different individuals of one species and and you know make them or cross breed them and you have a superior subspecies so hybrid vigor is uh my latest book and it's in an audio version now too about how we humans have the opportunity to rebirth ourselves and become higher in our species orientation higher mind higher individual more empowered by emulating the characteristics of these archetype animals that i present and and tying it in with yoga many many many yoga poses are named after animals there's the eagle pose there's the cobra there's uh just so many dog is the popular one the camel right and you name it the cow the calf so um they're all interconnected i mean anything that has to do with higher mind as we evolve our consciousness whether we're dealing with animals or yoga or ufos or the possibilities of of just changing our consciousness it's all connected so the archetypes that i choose are the ones that have affected my life like dog for instance i mean my life was once saved by a dog literally i was having a bad experience and all of a sudden there's this dog that i never met before and this dog saved me but bringing me to the present moment grounding me with its presence and its eyes connecting to me because i was like tripping out in my head and having a really bad experience with fear and terrible stuff i used to have a lot of trouble with dem demonic thoughts and this animal saved my life and when i came out of the place of comfort that this animal took me to it was gone nobody in the house that i was at i had ever seen this dog he just wandered in he felt my vibration so that's dog and then there's other animals like bear bear is the great protector bear roars and kills for to protection and if we could take these different qualities that all the animals that i present like a dolphin is playfulness how nice to just be more playful and not be so serious even about something as serious as the environment you know we're not going to get anywhere if we go around like shaking our fingers and telling people don't do this but if we are joyous and playful and and ignited with the fire the passion that consciousness is how our environment is going to be saved not by drumming a different way of thinking into politicians it ain't going to happen that way it's going to happen by each one of us uplifting our consciousness so that is one way we can emulate the different animals and turtle turtles the all-time most important spiritual animal of all one would not think so but a turtle is always moving steadfastly forward it's always got its eyes locked in the present moment right in front of it it can't see behind it it literally can't do that so it's it's trudging forward and if you've ever looked at a turtle a land turtle especially it would just go through everything it will go underneath fences it will go somehow around a rock and it will make its way always steadfastly forward so animals have a lot to teach us and having a totem having a spirit guide as an animal is really a holy thing and when each one of us decides which animal is going to guide us well then we have a connection to the natural world that perhaps we had not had before like the great blue heron is my animal totem for the air and dolphin is for the sea and bear is for the land i have an animal totem for each one of the elements i don't have leprechauns and fairies i have animals and i and they're with me all the time and my very first chapter in hybrid vigor i relate how i called a pod of dolphins to me just by wanting them to go yes i invited them to come yes and that's the the the silent communication going on between our species the so-called higher animal and the other animals in the kingdom is is a lot of it without words or sounds there's a lot of lore there's a lot of legend when it comes to dolphins in particular and we've we've done it we've been on the beach and been meditating and asking for them to come up and they do like you don't see anything and then you meditate and you try to make connection with the dolphins to come up and they come up we've done it the interesting thing about that again you're looking at the lore and they're saying like i mean there's so much uh that they're the uh you know reincarnation of of of sailors who died at sea there's a lot of different slaves even i've heard a lot of different stuff but uh there's laws on the books forbidding you to make try to make contact and communicate with dolphins there's laws books against that so when you're saying that there may be something to this that these animals may be even smarter than humans they just don't have thumbs you know so they can't build something or they can't build a contraption to you know walk start walking on land or something you know but they're smart they're compassionate they're caring empathetic angelic even it's very interesting when we're talking about connecting with with animals and specifically dolphins yeah anybody who's spent any time especially in the ocean because that's where they mainly live there are a few freshwater uh dolphins in lake nicaragua there's a freshwater dolphin and there's some i think in china who go up the yancey river but mostly they're saltwater and i i've done a lot of sailing inter island in the west indies and oh my god just when it's so delightful when the dolphins are playing with you they just like gallop along and they're doing all sorts of uh tricks they want to be show-offs they want to be clowns and they teach us about the joy of being alive because even jane goodall who's a great primatologist you know she's one of my heroes she's the one who went to africa and studied the chimpanzees and she said the real magic of life is being alive just to really appreciate the fact that we have breath we have energy we have power we with our free will we can do anything we want that's the magic of life it truly is yeah um when it comes to animals for me um i think about the scriptures you know and uh there's so much of like analogy and symbolism when it comes to animals of what it could mean and a lot of times it could be like good or bad like there's yin and yang in everything so like for a lion for exist example you see like um you know your enemy satan comes around like a roaring lion or the devil seeking whom he may devour like on the prowl on the prey but then like in a beautiful context it will say that the righteous are as bold as a lion it says the wicked flee when no man pursueth but the righteous are as bold as lions and so there's that boldness that comes from the king of the jungle it comes from the lion that it's an analogy about us it's not really talking about lions it's talking about you connecting with that aspect of the lion and then uh there's three chapters that i always say i go to i talked about it yesterday i continue to talk about it but in the book of matthew chapter five six and seven we got the beatitudes we got mindfulness in how to pray like when you pray go in by yourself and essentially meditate and those kind of things and uh and even when it comes to like the cares of the world finances bills um all of the things the weight that comes with that that's part of this earth experience right now right that we have to deal with or talk about and it can be overwhelming and when i get overwhelmed i go to those three three uh chapters and instantly everything's okay for me and and it's these analogies that are spoken of and one of the analogies there Matthew 6 25 jesus is like comforting his disciples who were worrying and freaking out and worrying about things they have no business even talking about like that's not even a part of it it's not that's never going to affect you why are you worried about that and you're creating stress and all this but he says in Matthew 6 25 therefore i tell you do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink or about your body what you will wear is life not more than food and the body more than clothes look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or stow away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not much more valuable than they can any one of you by worrying at a single hour to your life then he goes on to talk about the the flowers and the and how beautiful they are and you can make clothes for months and they're never going to be as beautiful as this natural beauty of this flower here and it's it imparts so much to me like why are you worrying about this stupid stuff life is short and it's trying to pull you out of the moment the bible says be anxious for nothing don't worry and freak out for good reason for good reason and so we're using the animals as an analogy of like listen they don't they don't cook nothing they don't go out and find food it's just there when they're hungry they got a seed they got a worm whatever it is for them their food is provided it's all wealth and abundance is all around you get rid of the the worry the doubt and the fear that's killing people sending them to an early grave heart issues you know stress and and uh it takes a toll on your body like what how your mind works takes a toll on your body that's crazy when we think about think about the power of the mind and mind you don't see any schizophrenic animals you don't see any animals with bipolarism and you know freaking out and doing weird things you really don't yeah and we don't suicide is that of things animals committing suicide like i'm under too much stress i can't handle it and they just take themselves out i don't even know if that's a thing they're not even wired that way well the the uh dolphins that beach themselves are have been messed up with their sonic radar they've determined that there have been a lot of beachings that's awesome it was a phenomenon right it's because of us and people couldn't figure out why are these dolphins and whales killing themselves well it's because mankind forgot about sonic waves and they forgot about how animals need to have their environment not messed around with sonic waves and booms and all that but one thing that you mentioned about the animals i love the fact that christ is the lamb the lamb of god the the fact that he is gentle but yet in literature anybody who's read narnia he's the lion well i when i first read we have two kids when i first read narnia to our kids i said that's jesus long before i knew it intellectually you know just by the way the lion is portrayed and so each one of us can have all these qualities that we see that maybe are harder to see in a person because we all have this competition going on especially in this day and age where we have the celebrity thing going on the whole culture of who can be the most popular and all that stuff but if we see an animal we just see that they live truly for the moment they're just there emulating life the magic of being alive and just doing their thing whatever their dharma is i mean if they're a turtle they're just like trudging along and if they're a dolphin they're playing with the waves and if they're a bird they're having a really good time flying all around yeah and i i would say that you know you don't see them trying to be each other like you know the bird is is he's not trying to you know hold his breath and become a dolphin and swim underwater and they're not trying to be something that they weren't created to be so they know their purpose they know their identity it's in their dna and they know that um unless they've been raised by another animal though you know and that kind of switches it up like if uh you know um a cat was raised by uh raccoons or something right you're gonna see them take on these motions in this cat do something that they usually wouldn't do so they're just in these environments where they they adapt and so that's an interesting yeah you know analogy and they also they also teach us about boundaries and boundaries are so important people have a hard time really understanding how spiritually it's important to have boundaries and not intrude upon other people's boundaries and know that our boundaries are sacred like for instance a hawk tried to make its nest in our property well hawks are very much predators and they like to go after baby birds so what happened was all the mockingbirds in our neighborhood uh went to war against the hawks and the hawks would be just sitting on a branch and the mockingbirds would come and they would like tease them and try to get them off of balance and they drove them out of the neighborhood and it's great because even a little mockingbird doesn't want to lose its baby to a hawk so there's plenty of other places where a hawk can go and make its nest it doesn't have to be in someone else's territory and that's just one of the many many lessons that wild animals can teach us they're just a moth a moth is always going to the light and i like to think of the light as the love of of spirit you know it's the opposite of fear fear is contracted and it's dark and consciousness is open and it's filled with light and there is no fear when you are in a state of love and a moth is always going to the light and sometimes a moth does commit suicide because it has to go to the light sometimes it flies right into a campfire yeah it does it's compelled nobody really knows why hey you know in in the uh afterlife they say don't go into the light don't go into the light oh really that's just the opposite of i know i know some near experienced people and they all tell me they all go into the light and then they hear a voice saying it's not your time and they come out of the life but they the the people who've actually died their hearts have stopped they they go into the light and they hear that it's not their time and they choose i mean some of them choose maybe it's not their choice because they just all of a sudden find themselves back yeah um you know that analogy again you know what what happens and you know what what can we relate to and the analogies are everywhere the the allegories and again like we have a i think we have a pretty big christian audience here and and i it scares people when we talk about the beauty of the allegory in the bible because for them it takes away like that it's a literal story and i don't know if any of it's literal i wasn't there i i i know it helps us to to for it to be more real if we look at it like everything was real like that jonah was swallowed by the whale and lived in a whale stomach and all of the different far out stuff it helps us to like yeah that stuff's real it's more powerful and it's for me but it's the allegory it's not that if that stuff was real it's that listen it's it becomes real when you read that story and it finally aha just like narnia you're watching narnia and you see that lion and then you get chills wow that's christ that's jesus who's taken up for the little ones who can't defend themselves that's jesus who literally at the end gave his life for the people he loved like wow a lot of people watched it and they didn't put two and two together like c.s lewis and those guys they were really big into mysticism they were really big into their faith and they hid all of that stuff in there but it's interesting how one person can look at it and and uh and see something else that's the beauty of it too though of life in general and circumstances i think i think it's stronger i've never seen the movie but i've read narnia i've never seen the movie and in the books because i'm more of a reader i like to read books and then see the movie yeah and sometimes i don't even see the movie because it breaks my bubble but in the books you know the ocelon was like invisible and he was everywhere and all of a sudden there he was and yet he's a lion how can a lion be invisible because christ is with us christ's consciousness is our consciousness we can tap into our power just like that ask them can appear anytime we just say okay come and be with us yeah so um the animal thing is is very strong and and um it's just one of the many things that i touch upon though as a as a spiritual seeker a truth seeker i mean that's i love your name i wish i'm going to change my name to tessa truth seeker [Laughter] two secret junior my husband and i are podcasters as z lord is the name of the podcast and our latest episode is truth is unchanging period we change and our perceptions change but the truth god the divine is always unchanging always our realities and our narrative are always shifting i did a status update two three days ago and i said uh i'm not married to any spiritual belief i'm not married to any biblical doctrine or religious doctrine i'm married to christ right that is my who has espoused themselves to me and i'm married to my wife too but just to see like people like you know you know i'm saying the narratives that you read into it when you use analogies like i got to keep using the jesus stuff because that's what i know but like the the when he did the i think it was the sermon on the mount uh we spoke to 5 000 and he's like dropping wisdom and knowledge to him and they're like this guy's amazing he's got to be the messiah then he's like you're not worthy to be my disciple unless you're willing to eat my flesh and drink my blood and most people the literalists were like oh yeah this is the cannibal cult we gotta go we gotta go he's crazy this is the crazy person and they all left like the majority of the 5 000 left there's a couple hundred left over and he's like they'll hold on it's a trick question there's something deeper into it for us to ponder and to roll an idea what do you mean by that kind of thing and those who would ask the deeper questions and move past the mundane were worthy to be his disciples and to know the secrets of of of heaven and to have a deeper relationship with the messiah and it's like there's those things that that the analogies that scare people or at face value you know but it's kind of done to make people ask the questions within themselves because the answer is already there well we give ourselves communion because since the pandemic began my husband and i we do communion every sunday and um we tune in to our local church via youtube but when communion time comes there's something so holy about taking a little piece of triscuit and saying this is the symbol of taking christ the love of being the lamb of god into my body and it becomes part of my body and whatever pomegranate juice instead of wine because we don't usually have wine or cranberry juice and that's the blood but if people think that it's literal they really don't understand jesus because jesus said i think it was the pharisees who were saying you've got to do it this way it's by the book you got to just do it that way he said god you guys are just too many rules this is about feeling the love of the father and not just by following the rules rules schmools that's what jesus was all about he just said love love is the only rule there is love god love your neighbor and love god within love me there's there's narratives there there's triggers there you know even the life things like i've i had a lot of my religious my really religious friends which i was one of those religious friends you know and maybe to some people i still am but i had those people when we talked about the beauty of love and god's love and and it holds no records of wrong and it's you know it's beautiful and it's all-encompassing and it's in and everything even in our darkness and even in our adversity this love is there and and some people will be like yeah that's not the same thing this is a different because it's a trigger and you're like it's the filter you have for something so simplistic and so beautiful has been has been um trampled under the the feet of the pigs because you don't that's exactly why people should listen to the animals more animals don't complicate things they don't say hey this bug has some dirt on it i'm not going to eat it they just say wow i got a bug i'm so happy to have a bug you know and so why do people who love spirit love god love christ why do they have to complicate it it is so simple god is love god comes in many forms god is huge huge and the animals show us that the animals do not complicate things and they respond to love and they flee from from aggression they flee from violence or or they'll go at you they'll get you so yeah and you learn that type if you learn that persona and those people you know i think a lot of people yeah i hate that we put people in boxes right and it's not to put them in a box but it's to identify oh this guy's a lion and if i offend him he's going to eat my lunch if i you know challenge them i i can't talk to them on that level i have to approach them like jesus says come here's another one i can't believe we haven't said it be wise as serpents but harmless as doves i need you to be i need you to have wisdom and be cunning and know how to sprinkle a little salt in there do an episode where you're talking about some wild stuff but then encourage the people that there's hope at the end you know it's like beasts be wise like the serpent and cunning yeah it's harmless as a dove thank you yeah i will okay like this look at the serpent the serpent sheds its skin because we always have to grow we're always evolving and the serpent is the best example of that when lobsters also shed their skin and other crustaceans and everything but but you can see it i mean i go for a walk along the road and there's a whole snake a ghost snake that shed its skin because it got uncomfortable in its skin it had to burst out and god is so large so encompassing so universal that we can't put god in a box we can't say that there are you know certain ways that it has to be because jesus said to people like that you just have to stop having the rules and even he was persecuted by his fellow jews because he didn't follow the rules you know it blows people's minds to realize that jesus was crucified by fellow jews they're the ones who who put the number on him because he wasn't following the rules man there are no rules when it comes to the divine the sacred most revolutionaries are though it's not they were captured and died in prison by somebody else i mean there was some that did i think john the baptist died that way but like if you look at martin luther king if we look at um you know chi uh guerrero if we look at what's his name like their own people killed them and like i'm in a weird place too i've been talking about it i'm trying not to be a victim of it but i like my own i'm at a place that for the first time my followers my my audience my podcast listeners my people who buy my albums and love my music they're starting to lash out and attack and it's because of stuff that they're dealing with in their narrative and the pressure is being turned up and they just need a whipping boy they need somebody to take the hatred out on i covered a song by marilyn manson called tourniquet he says take your hatred out on me i'm you know i'll be your victim i'll i'll carry your burdens and that's that's what christ was as the scapegoat that's who these people of power like who led a movement martin luther king malcolm x they freed their people moses in like but then the people in the end turn around the same people that you came to save end up turning around and wanting your blood whether you become too much of a celebrity because you're now you get when you got four messages a day now you get 40 and 400. and you didn't you're not messaging them back anymore so they lash out you're too big come back down to our level man because you know jesus was the lamb but guess what he was sacrificed and before jesus they were sacrificing lambs so that's his whole he ended all that he ended being the human sacrifice because he said you think i care that you're having a problem with love kill me yeah it's something i'm willing to die over this is something i'm willing to what the bible says take up your cross and follow me because you're gonna have to die on that cross you know it's just all of us truth seekers are absolutely i remember after 9 11 i you know which we just celebrated 20 years what an incredible emotional day for me because i lived in lower manhattan and that was where i first got sober um you know in 1984 i went to meetings at the world trade center so for those those towers to get destroyed like that was part of my life my spiritual story but um you know like uh just the fact that it happened yeah when when that day happened i said i'm willing to die to talk my truth and my truth is that god is big god is much bigger than anybody can can put into a box and and say that there are rules and that's my truth and my truth is it feels so comfortable it feels so good to be able to say your truth and yeah we have trolls people who are public like you and i i'm a podcaster too i'm an author i i i put out social media positive positive and people you can't be positive here the world sucks yes i can i believe that we are on god's path and that we are evolving because we have life like like we were saying earlier life is magic yeah life the fact that we have life we are not dead we have this magical existence and it's each moment that we have we get to choose what we want to do with that magic that's it that is it we are conduits for that magic for that love for that energy and we fight for it nothing by any means shall take that away from us i mean the scripture says that jesus said my peace i leave with you not as the world gives because if drugs or alcohol gave it to you then drugs and alcohol would take it away if another person gave it to you but no it's god the creator who gives you you're connected to an umbilical cord of that love and a peace and a bliss all you got to do is take a breath we've been talking about it take a really deep breath and what is that weird sensation why do i not care about who's talking about me on social media anymore listen i carry that on i i'm i'm an empath i carry it it's what i do i carry it then i release i carry it i scream into the earth you know what i'm saying i carry the people's burdens many of us do it's not just me empathic people do it and if you're not clear and if you're not dumping that stuff out you may want to get with us and get some kind of practice that allows you to do that but um it's what we do and so we reset it we dump we get it out we breathe through it and everything's okay take a spiritual enema get rid of the dark the dark does not serve us except for us to see how blessed we are to be in the light that's the only purpose of the dark i mean the dark is not taking over the the dark is a reflection of our own ability to perceive what's happening in this world and the dark it's like it's like a measuring stick how filled with light are we yeah shadow shadow work in your shadow and and the snake like you said the serpent i'm a big fan of the band tool and they got a song about i think it's 46 and two but they talk about the shadow they talk about shedding skin and they talk about scars and things it's like listen we are meant to go through this stuff and heal through the process not to be broken or to have open wounds you know and that darkness and the shadow is what you know illuminates the light i love contrast because i've been to the bottom of what i believe my darkest moments and and i've been in some pretty blissful amazing moments that is as simple to get in to as in prayer meditation and breath work and and devotion and those things and and there's a i get to pick every day i get to pick what i want to do and what i want to carry i can carry this i can carry that or i can release it and ask more bliss to come into my life and breathe it breathe it in and have that encounter that's the contrast that we all live in it's totally your choice totally my choice totally everybody's choice what they choose to have is their experience yes it's a choice thing it's our free will and we all have free will but okay the animals the animals have like animal instinct and uh you know nobody can talk to a snake or a moth or a dolphin and say hey man do you have free will we just have to observe them and you know if they could communicate they would say yeah we have free will i bet they do yeah um tesla i enjoyed this talk so much thank you for hanging out with me um oh yeah i need time man i enjoyed it i'm glad we

peace test the lord ladies and gentlemen listen good stuff we talked about it all we talked about a bunch of cool stuff meditation mindfulness little alien stuff learning from the animals man reading their books reading their story watching their life you know life emulates life and you know they say that it's smart to learn from your own mistakes right you keep making the same mistake over and over so you learn from it and you make those course corrections if you will but a wise person learns from the mistakes of others hold on why does he keep doing that and he's in the same place he's always been why does he keep you know dating those type of people or she or why do they never get in head get ahead why don't why they always talk about their dream but they never pull the trigger hold on i'mma try to pull the trigger i'm gonna try to stay away from those things that that person is doing so be able to learn from other people is what a wise individual does but learning from the animals listen we're taking it a step further we're taking it a step further um ladies and gentlemen we're going to go a little bit longer i'm gonna open it up for q a for those of you who are um

beautiful conversation go on in the chat ladies and gentlemen we're not done we're just getting started we'll be right back after this on the trueseeker podcast wow so the throne room meditation man uh this was just like a new level for me of creating encounter uh really the process behind it is going in for myself having an encounter with the lord tapping into the spirit and getting in his presence and really just petitioning the father's heart and saying god what would you say to them if i'm bringing these people with me here if they're doing this guided meditation and we're going through this journey we're having fun we're seeing things we're experiencing new feelings and emotions and sensations what would you say to them so it's channeling the father's heart and relating it back to the people so man it's just a beautiful encounter and i remember when i wrote the first one i was so excited about it and it was just god speaking to my heart i was able to channel the father's heart and i would read the script to people because i was just so excited while i was working on it and every time that i would just read the script the presence of god would just invade me and i just burst into tears and i couldn't even read it i'm just like let me copy and paste it and send it to you but every time i listen to it i'm immediately translated back into the throne room of god and uh everything's good there that's the place where everything is okay where in the scriptures it says that we are to hide under the shadow of the almighty this is the throne room of god this is the place that we can encounter for ourselves but this is also a place in which we dwell so a part of us is always there and we have access to that now there's people who have never encountered this before in their life and it's a totally new experience for them and almost every time i get a testimony back from someone they just say how god wrecked their lives that they didn't know what they were getting into the next thing they know they're in the presence of god wrapped up in his glory he's communicating his love to them and it just totally wrecks their lives so make sure you check out the throne room guided meditation visualization that i brought to the table there are things that go bump in the night pull up a chair don't be scared for you have many friends unaware on the truth seeker

um just a quick quick update on the white magic album and uh keep everybody in the loop especially people who bought the pre-orders because uh the official drop date i believe is october the 6th and um it's on the new moon sixth or eighth or whatever but as soon as the uh album is complete you'll get an mp3 download of the entire album uh weeks before it gets sent out and it's on um you know the streaming apps and things like that so the album is complete uh the audio is mixed and mastered and it's in its right format it's ready to submit it's ready to send out but the the caveat there's a quick update i wasn't 100 um sold on the album cover most of my album covers that i've brought to the table they've been beautiful they've kind of fit the aesthetic of the album um man and when you see that album it it invokes what i brought and what was released and brought to the table and channeled through that album so just by seeing the artwork boom you remember um and so for me i wanna i wanna be in on that experience as well like you know there's a there should be a picture that represents this project this these 13 tracks you know and i think i've been able to do that with each one and got some really cool artwork so i made the uh album artwork for white magic but it just didn't really sit you know it's like ah that's okay but this album is not just okay like i really i love this album there's so much uh beautiful uh so many beautiful songs and and messages on this album and maybe the artwork i felt looked too too esoteric too to um maybe a cultic or something like that which is i mean i'm going for that but not two right it's just gotta have a good unique balance and blend not to scare people off or there's there's there's magic and creativity and awe and wonder in there as well so we got to be able to invoke it all so i had an idea before i uh made that album cover of something that i wanted to create and so i never i never uh did it i never created it myself but i ended up buying a template that looked exactly like what i had in mind that another artist created i bought it from them because it looked a lot similar to mine i was like if i put me there and change that and put white magic it'll be exactly what i saw in my vision so that's what we're doing i'm uh working on that now waiting on some pictures to come back shot some pictures yesterday and are really happy with what we got so as soon as that cover is complete which could be today could be tonight you'll have if those of you who have pre-ordered white magic uh you could have that that entire album in your inbox tonight if you've not pre-ordered it's pretty cheap you get a sticker pack autographed copy and you get it early you get the digital um only doing a short run of autographed copies that i'll do and um but if you want to get in on that you can go to truthseeker.com and uh get you a copy of the autographed version so the artwork's not complete another cool thing again about doing the music and doing the album one thing i do for my patrons uh is i include your name in the album no as of today september the 14th the artwork is not completed it could be completed tonight i don't know or in the morning but as of today if you want your name in the thank yous in the credits of the of the album make sure you become a patron at any level as of 9 14. i'm saying this who knows it may it may still be a week out it may be a day out but i'm almost done and it's going to be really easy to wrap up because the cover that i made with the hand on it the original white magic cover that's going to be the cd that's going to be the cd artwork so we're still going to be able to incorporate that as well so those of you who think that's cool and you want to get your name printed on there boom join at patreon for any level so that's one one thing you'll get and a lot of people really like that they buy the physical physical copy just to have their name in it and patron and all that so that's really cool so jump to here in this chat what are you guys talking about triplet says big up truth you're glowing bro a lot of people have been saying that lately they've been been glowing i feel good man i feel good i'm thankful i am uh wide-eyed and hopeful i'm healthy um been working out been my diet has been uh impeccable you know what i'm saying i've been eating really good food and uh drinking a lot of coffee today though but but usually uh we're eating good and the weights falling off of me and um i just feel better and a lot of people have been saying that like every episode they're like truthy you just look good i've been working out i've been in the gym man i've been having fun i get to i'm done with a beautiful album like we we're booking retreats like a lot of cool things are happening a lot of crazy messed up things are happening too but uh you know i'm wide-eyed and hopeful you know in in this process and and where we're headed and and what's going on i have to be you know i'm not giving up hope and uh i'm gonna i'm gonna be a an instrument of change and an instrument of of creativity and a channel for that art and hope that it would inspire you to do that as well and it is you know whether it's the music whether it's the podcast and these these discussions that really explain a lot of the stuff that's in the music i'm inspiring people to make podcasts i was interviewed by somebody this week who has been listening to the podcast for a couple years and it inspired them to make a podcast and and they wanted they asked me to come on and i came on it's like listen i started my podcast because i listened to yours and and how you know uh intriguing it was and how much it helped me and i just want to pay it forward so i know that the work that i'm doing is not falling upon deaf ears there's so many different ways that that this information is going out and we're trying to learn the algorithms we're trying to learn creative ways to uh to get this information out and it's working so um what know that whatever platform and whatever medium you're listening to this show on like there's probably 17 other ways and 17 other audio uploads and and places where where people consume content and we're trying to get it there and each each one of them i believe has its own following and so you got to be on all of it and uh so i'm with that being said i'm launching my my eight week program again teaching people how to do all of this stuff and how to get their message out there and how to to make a living doing what they they love how to monetize their their their brand how to do one-on-one sessions and and be coaches and counselors and how to turn their their mess into their message and present it to the people that's gonna the truth that sets people free you shall know the truth and it shall set people free and and when you burn with a passion and a desire for the things that you love people who will come from all over the world and they have no problem with supporting you just may have to get over your your your fear um or your um your feeling of of worthlessness or being unworthy or you don't deserve or you shouldn't charge for things that are easy you know again i said i do one-on-one sessions that people i'll hang out with you for two hours and teach you how to do what i do or uh do prayer meditation and breath work with you and really get precise on on your story and and work with you and i do that i do that that's part of what i bring to the table and one of the reviews on my my book i went to to i read my my reviews on the book every now and then and there was like a one star rating and and the rating wasn't on any of the content it wasn't that this isn't christian it wasn't that this was new age mixing it together it wasn't none of that the rating was this person charged us for one-on-one sessions and we're not supposed to do that i was like wow why are you writing that on the book review you should write that on like uh a session review or something you know what i'm saying so people have a narrative and a belief in a way that that that things are supposed to be and when something challenges that or something is outside of that they look at it as a threat you know and i think there there's there's situations where it can be a threat like people's narratives become a threat and they begin to impose their truth or their belief systems over on you and that can happen for sure but um live and let live man you know uh don't don't get offended don't don't take it personal when somebody has a different belief or a different truth or different experience than you like we think that our our experience is the only one and our truth is the only truth and everything that you believe good or bad or you most of it's come through an experience not all of it some of you read it was good or your mom told you it was bad and you stayed away from it just like tesla was talking about being at the correctional facility teaching yoga and these kids would visit with their parents and brag about what was going on in their life and their parents were like no this is demonic you're getting possessed by doing yoga poses and like hold on is that really happening did you get possessed by doing a yoga pose or not and and and that sounds ludicrous to many of us so what you got you got possessed by a demon by doing a yoga pose it just depends on what you believe because what you believe shows itself to you and if you believe that demons can enter your body through yoga poses and you do it anyway i'm gonna roll the dice here like you should probably get clear you should probably talk to somebody whose life is better than yours their their their their way of living their their mental clarity their spirituality their body is better than yours something you want to you want to partake of and add to your life and ask them hey man you got i heard that you can get demons from doing this is this true i haven't experienced that again because what you believe shows itself to you if you think that that's going to happen beyond the shadow of a doubt it happens demons will enter your body you begin to have nightmares you begin to go schizophrenic you begin to go on a downward spiral because you held your hands up like this and for my christians i don't know how many christians are listening to this this far in or people are just like hardcore but if you are i love you this is for you if you didn't know for those of you who think that there's demons with those poses just know that when you're in church on sunday morning and you're doing you're in worship you're chanting mantras there's mantras in your music there's drum patterns and rhythms in your music that bring you into the trance state when you hold your hands up in a y there is this is this is the yoga pose when you hold your hands out like this to receive and you're singing to the lord this is a mudra that you're holding your hands in it is a yoga pose so the only thing that makes that a worship experience to lavish your love upon your creator or a way that you encounter demons is your imagination your imagination that kicks into play what you believe what you've been told what somebody told you and then it becomes real to you so do your research study both sides because everything that you believe and everything that you've experienced good or bad again you're gonna find people with testimonies even on youtube youtube's the best place to get lost in the rabbit hole you're going to find somebody who talks about how they were deceived in church and their pastor was a bad person and um they found krishna and they started doing yoga and they became bhakti and you know all of this stuff and it really changed their life and they're being 100 honest with you but the other people that you can't believe that because that's not your story your story is that you were into bhakti yoga you were you know it didn't work out you know you were running from what you thought was right in your life uh christianity church where your parents would go to church your grandmother who loves you with all of her heart who's praying for you to get back in church and you know that you know in your head you should probably be in church and it's this that thing that's been implanted to you no matter what you do outside of going to church you're not going to be in god's will because you've accepted it in your head because of the projection of others so your story with bhakti yoga and how even though it was cool it was fun i was i was exploring listen i did what you guys did i contacted ascended masters and they were just demons in disguise right that truth that you've encountered because now you've gone back to christianity there's people with the opposite story and the enigma in the whole thing is how both narratives can be true at the same time is it true universally or is it true just for that individual is christianity really the way oh well which version gotta get specific all you guys are doing witchcraft the bible speaks against witchcraft my reply is witchcraft which one like which is is it chanting you're doing that on sunday morning is it is it kundalini yoga poses is it is it uh mudras is it vain repetition you're doing that on sunday mornings i just did it i'm just in church i go to church and like we did that and uh and there's a deeper connection with the study and with what it means to you and what it means to your body to receive and actually that holding your hands up as to receive like you do in church or you see them do on videos in christian worship services they're practicing a form of of mudras and and yoga and they don't even know it and they're going in they're tapping into the trance state through the drums into the rhythm the rhythm of the drum puts me under hypnosis anointed by the fire of tongues that's clothing hebrews mystics prophets chosen share it with the world not truth is spoken you're holding up these mudras and you're tapping in and just to let you know i thought this was a beautiful when i learned it it was revelation but to hold your hands up like that it's it's called the push paputa and it's a uh it's a mudra you can look it up and it is to two different things this to download like when you want to download revelation when you want to communicate with your higher self with god with the ufos with jesus it doesn't matter like whatever your terminology you use i use all of them um it's a way to download to receive if you're in church and you need christ to speak to your heart you just hold your hands out and you receive because you're doing that mudra your body is fearfully wonderfully and wired in such a way where you're able to receive and so when you do that that's a way to download and this is this was something that was believed and agreed upon well before christianity became popular in the west you know maybe even in the east um to receive that so also it is also to offer to the creator to offer flowers essentially it's like you're holding a bouquet in your hand and it's a christians will tell you it's a form of surrender i surrender all listen i'ma take my flowers everything that is beautiful everything i have and i'm going to surrender it to you guys so i'll hold my hands and release it so it's a phone we do it for surrender brother yeah the push paput is offering a bouquet of flowers back to the creator all that i have all that i am in this moment i give it to you in this moment it helped me to live in that help me to walk in that so it's like you know what we're not saying different things we're not too different after all so many similarities and i enjoy it and if you get scared when you hear that a lot of people do nope that's not we don't do that we're not doing that in the bible it says lift up holy hands everywhere in praise yeah why are you doing that to receive to offer as a conduit for god's love that's what you're doing there's a reason there's positions of prayer it's not just talking there's that there's inner dialogue and contemplation like all day with the creator but there's also ways where king david would look to the east to pray and why would he do that the sun may rise in the east at least sun gazing to pray towards the sun the lord is a sun and a shield the bible says so there's this idea and notion that the sun is giving you vitamins it's giving you like ideas for the day what you need to start off your morning and watch the sun as it rises a reason why not only king david but but all of jerusalem how do you pray to the east to the holy city of jerusalem when you're in jerusalem that don't make sense it's the rising of the sun it is a it is a a meditation of mindfulness and even thanking the creator thank you that we get to see another day thank you that as the sun rises that i'm still here many people i know we lost yesterday but i'm still here and i'm going to be thankful i'm going to be in the moment and i'm going to carry this gratitude into everything i do when i go to work in the vineyard i'm carrying gratitude that i got by just simply watching the sun rise i'm carrying the gratitude when i enter into prayer when i enter into meditation when i open that unexpected bill i'm gonna enter i'm gonna open it with gratitude okay i'm not gonna let it pull me out of what i know to be true and so if that's not practiced by all religions i don't know what is if that's not inspirational if that's not affirmational i don't know what is it's to know that all things contain the beauty of the creator in it i mean especially creation because everything that's been created has a signature this podcast has a signature at the beginning and at the end all of my music a famous painter is going to sign the bottom of it you have a unique fingerprint thumbnail you have a you have an id that goes back to the creator something that is intelligent an intelligent design so when we look at crea the created thing it echoes and sings the song by just simply the fact that it exists back to the creator and back to the one and the bible says that in Romans 1 2 that those who are without the law by nature do the very things that are written of in the law and it is given unto them as righteousness because the jewish person again we're dealing with the jewish people who that was written to but that's universal it's whoever you are like you had to be told not to kill somebody but this guy by nature knows yeah i'm not gonna i don't want to kill anyone because it will create heartache i don't want to take life and so much so that many spiritual people on this path won't even kill animals for for sustenance because they've reached this level of mindfulness where they don't want to to kill any anything and and then they they move past that they become more spiritual and they they say you know what plants feel pain too they you can there's recordings of plants screaming and and uh when you when you pull up root them when you cut them in half and they feel pain in their their life force is cut off from them and and they get so mindful they don't even want to hurt a plant and they just become um breatharians i don't need any food brother i eat very little if i have to eat a plant i eat one plant a week i eat an orange i need an apple apple a day you know they become breatharians and so this level of consciousness or whatever goes deeper and deeper but it's just something that reflects to them of this inner knowing that hey do no harm do no harm because whatever you put out is coming back you know but by nature you begin to do the things that you wouldn't want someone doing to you like jesus like listen do unto others as you would have them do unto you and you would think that you know people would would love one another but a lot of people don't know their self-worth they they don't care about being used and abused and you want to repay evil with evil and that scripture is not talking about you it's about those people that know that hey you ain't got to tell me twice you got to tell me not to to be unfaithful you don't have to tell me not to uh cheat on my taxes you don't have to tell me these things i know that that everything i do has a a ripple effect in the spirit realm but i'm gonna have to deal with it in the physical even the stuff that nobody knows about what it's done in darkness will be seen in the light it'll be exposed in the light the things that you're doing that you don't think anyone sees it will be it will come to light at some point and so you have those people where they don't have to read the law and study the mosaic law or even study um morality they just know like hey yeah don't kill nobody don't steal don't lie don't cheat and other people have to be told you know in the book of romans it goes deep into that and that becomes a law unto themselves because even creation testifies of the goodness of god it has his fingerprints it says surely the heavens declare the glory of god the heavens by if you can't look at the star star gazing and get lost in on wonder if you can't watch the sun rise and get lost in awe and wonder and you have to have somebody tell you you know there's different strokes for different folks i get it but what it is is everything becomes more encompassing you begin to see that god you begin to see that love and you begin to see that beauty in everything and so that's what that scripture is talking about maybe by nature do the things that are written down because you can look at the sun and see that it testifies of a creator may not know its name if it even has one we give it names for our our self you know to identify with and certain buzzwords that we don't identify with we we give villains names that spark emotion from lore we give heroes names we give practices names and we're married to those names again going back to the the thing i posted about i'm not married to any but spiritual belief i'm not married to any doctrine i'm married to christ because those names and practices are subject to change there were things that at one point i would die for they began they were a cross that i would be crucified on and i was okay with that i was happy this point at this point i'm like wow what were you thinking dude what were you thinking i don't want to there's old videos of me on the internet i'm like man this is i feel ashamed of a lot of it even though i respect the process it's part of the process but it's like man i really was that hardcore i was really that conceived that i was the only one right and blah blah blah you know there's there's hills that we're going to die upon across us that we carry that are changing so i'm not married to that i'm not married to the doctor their doctrine adoption's hurting people man a doctrine's running people off that doctrine is judging people that doctrine is the only one that's right 17 churches on your street but you're the only one that's right no take your doctrine and get out of here with that may it perish with you you gotta understand it you know i'm not married to that married to christ that stuff is subject to change there's more revelation being revealed even if you're in love with the bible like i am uh it means there's scriptures i read over that listen 20 years ago meant something totally different than they do today and 20 years from now they're going to mean something totally different again when we go through life and we experience things this stuff is changing this that word is alive you don't go to school to figure out how to study the bible read the bible not no physical you don't go to seminary yeah you go to school but you go to earth school you go through life you find out what it feels like to have someone steal something from you you find out what it feels like to have a friend that was murdered and you feel it through empathy like we like we talk about the empathy why are you empathetic because you've been through it i try not to gossip i try not to i know what it feels like to have pastors in in congregations gossip about me the weight that i feel even not even being there or something some heaviness or something yeah man they pastor mentioned you in the service and what the hell why i don't even go to that church anymore well he's talked about witchcraft and and said some christians rap people used to be christian rappers and now they're wit what the hell tell him to call me let's talk about it if he loves me why would you do that so we learn okay i don't i'm not gonna i know how that what that did to me almost killed me and i see why jesus says don't don't use your words loosely and that those who gossip and backbite and slander are worthy of hellfire they're in danger of hellfire like he only he didn't throw that term around a lot but he did for gossip why because life and death is in the power of your words and i found out that when i complain i wallow in in this this this thing that i hate like job the thing that i feared showed itself to me because i created it as i spoke it i birthed it into existence i spoke against certain things i wasn't i wasn't mindful i wasn't faithful with the things that i was given so you going through that gives you a natural empathy yeah man i'm not going to gossip man listen hey won't you call that person man no because that's what i wanted i was going through that and everybody was talking about me nobody called me true seeker man you posted something about lucifer is not the devil and that lucifer is a good thing what do you mean by that that never i never got that call but those conversations went on without me for sure and many many many many many more as a christian minister at the time and that hurts so i learn from it and say you know i'm not going to do that if somebody especially somebody i love or care about if they post something or i see them getting into some weird stuff hey man what's happening like i'm not gonna i'm not even gonna lash out on them i'm just gonna understand it like why do you why did you believe that well this scripture here and that scripture there and try not to be combative because it turns into that really quick and you never get anywhere you run that person off and you never hear from him again because you were married to that damn doctrine you weren't married to christ who was married to that person you're married to the doctrine you're running people off that's the bride of christ it's the people that jesus died for even though even your enemies the people you don't understand like if the gospel means anything to you it's not of of anything you did to deserve it it's the beauty of it that's why y'all can't kick me out they're trying to kick me out i'm still a christian i still go to church you know what i'm saying like that's been a long journey of me even trying to step back in there and and be i don't know accepted or or just allowed you know the guy's a witch man he's a witch he did his buddy was his buddy was going through a hard time yesterday and they were doing rape and he was on his knees with his hands in the dirt to release it man that's demonic i guarantee you we can find some stuff in the scripture that's very close to that tearing their clothes and screaming out loud as you can when you're going through anguish listen there's a way to deal with with it with trauma with pain and it's not by holding it in when you pray and you give it to god it's not just a talk it's about a release find a way to release i list i don't been to church services where they're just lavishing their love but they're lamenting as well they're getting everything out of them they're screaming you know they're doing all of these things to release that pain to release that that trauma and it's very similar to we just happen to be outside and i have to know my connection with my mother mother earth and i know how to i know she wants to heal me i know she wants to talk to me she wants to spend some time with me that's hard to get to when you you know live the life with the mother who didn't give a damn about you and then you find the mother earth that cares about you like hold on so there's things that you go through and there's there's reasons that you believe certain things but just don't project share sharing is caring but don't project don't get into religious arguments you know that scripture about um i'll always go back to it but it's in timothy that talks about if there be anything true if there'd be anything good if there'd be anything virtuous anything noble anything of good rapport think about these things speak on these things it says that and i take that to heart but right before it it kind of talks about you know what some people call conspiracies uh it talks about endless genealogies and myths and fables and things that can't be proven that you've lost a loved one over or a a comrade or a friend over your belief about the rapture on something you can't prove i can prove it brother it's in the word of god no that word's not used for sure you may be talking about something else you know what i'm saying pick your battles wisely you were married to the doctrine that's what i meant let me clarify let me clear myself about not being married to a doctrine what doctrine am i married to the ones that repeat themselves over and over as a universal law and as a meme from genesis to revelation and not only them those are just what i've studied but also the ones that that spill out of the bible and they go into the bhagavad-gita they go into the book of inky they go into the work of madame blavatsky i dare you they're not say her name um they go into her work they go into the theosophical society these are universal principles if it's true for one it's true for everybody it's not just for christians it's not just for muslims listen if it's good for you it's good for me and i can show you better than i can tell you that's how i make my doctrine my belief there's repeatability it gains validity to me not just to be in the bible but list the bible is beautiful i'm down i love the scripture i got it sitting right here i'm gonna read it it it it it's alive i do hold it in a different regard as other books um but when these principles are echoed by other teachers and by other masters and by other religions and other new agers or whoever the person is that that you don't see yourself at one with when it's echoed by them to me it just gives what i believe in the scriptures more validity and it also not just the validity but it also gives another perspective or a way of explaining such phenomena when it comes to spirituality but when it comes to pus paputa the hell is that push what i don't do no push but yeah you do you just don't know it and for that for me i'm lost in the awe and wonder of that i'm lost in it you know and everything declares the glory of god surely the heavens declare not just the heavens but the rocks cry out the mountains everything's vibrating listen your vibration is a song it is your worship your auric field is vibrating and you say i'm glowing it has nothing to do with this light in front of me you're able to see my auric field that's what's glowing and it's through my diet it's through my belief it is through my overcoming of my adversities or keeping peace in the midst of my adversities that's why you glow that's why you glow so much so that moses faced shone with the glory of god they told him the same thing his face was glowing wow something about your countenance has changed you look like a different person i tell you what the guy who came over yesterday who helped me a good friend um he looked like a different person after we grounded and did our meditation and and prayers and and he looked tired he literally was tired he didn't get any sleep he had been up going through a breakup and a lot of just crazy stuff in his head he got two hours of sleep and uh you could see it he wore it on his face i took some pictures of him and i had to get the right angle i say bro uh yeah you can see you can see the um you're tired man but a certain angle that like you know kind of looked a little bit more younger or whatever awake and uh so we went and we did the breath work and we did uh the japanese ceremony and smudging and palo santo and all those beautiful tools that we got we listened to some trevor hall and connected with the earth and released and got releasing all the negativity and negative ions and any blockages out of our bodies in our auric field but then we also replenished it with the beauty of the holy spirit and with the breath and not just being empty and walking around empty but getting refilled and so i tell you what i say all that to say that his countenance changed he looked like a different person he talked differently there was a little bit more clarity about man what was my role in all of this you get to step back from your situation and look at things objectively wow okay maybe next time i'll do this maybe i'll do that and that's what about his countenance changed peter his auric field his shadow fell on people and it healed them just by being around peter in the bible somebody got healed just by being around him his shadow fell upon him because his auric field was was full of such beautiful frequencies and you can be the same way that's not far off that is for you and it's as simple as noticing hey you look different man you're shining you're glowing i'm not wearing makeup yeah you know i think everything you know is a part of that alchemy the working out the staying positive the the beautiful music that we're listening to the breath work the food that we're eating listen everything you are what you eat whether that's physically within six months you you're about you you we change we die and we we we're we die in our reborn daily with each breath really to breathe in his life breath is life to exhale is is that death now it's not physical death but we die daily as the scripture says but every six months your gut biome and what you've been putting in you literally become a different person so to get rid of those bad habits it don't even take six months takes like 30 days if that your taste buds begin to change ice cream starts looking repulsive like a cheat meal the idea of uh i can have a cheat meal because i've been eating good wheat good all week a damn cheap meal is going to put me back three days been doing sit-ups and crunches and pull-ups and if i do a cheat meal it's going straight to my stomach i'm getting love handles come back i ran three miles to get them off or whatever so you just hold on i'm gonna i don't want to do that anymore and so your taste buds change your desires change the bible says that if you delight yourself in the lord that which is good that which is beautiful that is a spiritual connection that is mindfulness that is contemplation if you delight yourself in that he says that he will give you the desires of your heart and then i'm tell you again 20 years 20 years for me 20 years ago those desires were different those desires were different the more that i found myself delighting in god and delighting in the lord and and and being a part of this earth school and learning empathy and learning my desires begin to change the things i used to desire i don't desire anymore i mean that's the whole thing that separates saved from sinner that idea of being a sinner is one who contemplates sin like you wake up looking for ways to do evil looking for ways to harm people like i'm so far removed from that now it's easy to forget that yeah i was once that person that misery loved company and i wanted to project i wanted you to hurt like i heard i wanted you to feel what i feel in a negative way i do the same thing but in positive light and beautiful you've never experienced the bliss of god you never took a breath and at the peak of the breath feel the holy spirit run down your spine all the way to your arms and and like that that high and that beautiful that you get just by knowing it's a faith but it's connected to your breath you never felt i want you to experience that experience it right now knowing that your faith is connected to it your belief is connected but it's there regardless is it it's a realm in a universe that exists without you knowing it because you're not conscious of it but now that you're conscious of it that i said something you're also conscious that the word for pneuma in the bible is the same word for breath or spirit so when it talks about the holy spirit it is the holy breath it is the greek it is the ruach the holy spirit the holy breath of god and then it starts making sense where the bible says let everything that has breath praise the lord if you have breath that we get to praise god those of you don't who don't like that term listen pick one that you do there's a lot more terms you can use don't get offended over terms that's if you haven't learned anything on this podcast you gotta learn that terms of doctrines they change we say to say different things but we mean the same so the breath is the holy spirit it is the pranayama you take a deep breath and you say thank you but at the peace of that breath where the the part where like your your lungs swell up your diaphragm expands but then right there at that peak there's this little release of of prana through your body that knows exactly what you need that is the the job of the holy spirit is to comfort you and he's the comforter and so to be as mindful in the breath to experience that like i want you to i do it helps me faith is connected no matter where you are if you need to decompress if you need to um relieve some things off of you or get some things in you breathe through it you can breathe through whatever you go through you got to be able to master your breathing there's an attack on the breath there's one there's a which is an attack on your relationship with the creator and your connectedness but nothing can sever sever that from you the bible in the book of romans says nothing can separate you from the love of god no nor height nor depth there's a lot of people that say the jab can separate you from god it changes your dna and you become an animal and you're separated for forever for all of eternity no Romans 8 says something different that there's nothing that can set separate you well yeah the only thing that can separate you is this get out of here nothing shall by any means harm you nothing can separate you from that love and you got to be mindful that's in the mindfulness of each breath that your sin your sin you know i got friends who were big on this original um um enlightenment or this this original ascension that that sin was something that we learned but and so even our sin that didn't even uh like separate us from god it was only the acknowledgement and the belief that you were a sinner that you took that nature upon yourself and you begin to respond to it you begin to build upon it you begin to act out on it and it was just the the notion you were never a sinner you just received that identity you received it so not even your sin that separates you from god but it's the the belief of your sin that you are a sinner because that's changed in an ion in a in the smallest of a moment to know that that you are a saint and that you are forgiven that your sins were are remembered no more they're thrown into the sea of forgetfulness as far as the east is to the west i'ma tell you when we talk about sun sun rising and the power of the sun and sun gazing and praying to the east listen there was times where i had did things in my life that i knew that the bible says that god's mercies are new every morning and even though i knew i was forgiven i still carried that weight i still felt dirty or whatever but i knew that tomorrow was a new day that if i wake up and i get another chance at it that with the sunrise that his he had a new mercy for me the next morning and i got to experience that so i just needed to make it through the day and look at that sunrise and wake up because i felt totally different and there was power in that moment there's power in that day because again we die and we are reborn and in a matter of a moment you you turn from saint center to saint or the other way around really in a matter of a moment with your belief and connecting with it your sins aren't held against you father forgive them for they know not what they do because if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't do it i wouldn't even have to tell you that's the scripture in romans that say that the gentiles those without the law the pagans by nature do the very things that are written of in the law but nobody told them to they helped their neighbor they plant they they're just good people because they didn't receive the sin nature in their heads it wasn't a part of their story so i have a lot of friends who who championed that movement and i do as well and we get to choose each day what we want to be who we want to become make yourself incubus has a beautiful song called make yourself and just taking the power of your story taking the power of your narrative because if you don't you allow them to make you listen when i was going through all of that wild stuff and the church people were talking about me and so hard and i took it to heart i was allowing their opinions to stick to me i was i caught wind of things they were saying even though they never told me they would post about it there was blogs other people would tell me what somebody else said you know and and even though i would fight it and combat it i knew who i was deep down i would it would still affect me you know it was until i broke out of that in a song like that song from incubus make yourself becomes real that if you let them make you they're gonna make you all of these things that you're not that's not your true identity and so that's why the you know the scriptures were so beautiful to me because the more i read the scriptures the more i found my identity that was hidden in christ and who i really was and i wasn't a sinner and i wasn't my shortcomings and i wasn't those i wasn't my confused and i wasn't my chaos but that all of that all of those things were working together for my benefit to make me a better person person to show me compassion to teach me empathy that i'll have a compassion for the broken for the ones who have been forgotten for the ones who are overlooked just like jesus did the drunkards the sinners the prostitutes jesus friend of sinners that's who he was but it wasn't to condemn them it was to show them grace and that grace allowed them to transform their situation out of it and if you're a believer if you're connected to that which is good then you have that same power in you your life reflects that as a testimony and you and it goes even beyond or without words that your life speaks for itself because you can do one you can say one thing and do another and you become a false witness a false convert but people just by watching your life and they begin to be intrigued and say hey what's going on with your spirituality what's up well i meditate well i pray while i do rappe you ever did rape it's like grounding really i'll try it that was his first time doing it so he did it right and i'm trying to coach him and explain to him what it is because for some people they think i guess it's a psychedelic or something it's totally not but you know when we were getting ready to do it i had the the uh um or the tempeh or whatever it's the uh the one that you do put it up their nose and you blow they don't suck they don't breathe because if you breathe you're not supposed to you're just supposed to wait so stuck it up his nose and i said listen don't breathe just sit there until and let me blow put it up get it right don't breathe don't don't do nothing let me blow so he puts it up his nose the applicator and a little bit got in his nose just a little and i had him a big portion too and a little bit got in his nose and it burned he's like oh oh man what is that oh man is it supposed to burn i said yeah he's like i think i got it man and it just like touched his nose and i don't know if he may just inhale just a little bit that kind of felt like pepper or something i don't know okay i think i'm good go ahead and do the other one i said no no no you're not we didn't do it no you didn't you didn't get it no i think i did i said no he said i know you're supposed to blow but let's do it so anyway he was able to do that for the first time and it was a breakthrough he found breakthrough by doing that and that's beautiful it means a lot to me that work for me has lasting value lasting implications these podcasts these talks tapping into the flow state and going knowing that there's people who are hungry knowing that there's people who are struggling who are listening like it has lasting value my music lasting value longevity music got longevity i'm comfortable with still promoting awaken the fire from 2012 comfortable there's gyms you got to dig it it's going to take you deeper it's going to take you it's going to open a portal a realm of creativity a realm of belief of what i was studying at the time of what i was inspired by and probably the earlier the better when you get into my work because when all of this was new my god look out like it's different so to recapture that in my music you know and to share it with you that's what it's about and i pray that you do the same i pray that you speak to the struggling version of yourself from five years ago ten years ago two years ago last week so whatever it is to speak to it in the power of a moment in the power of the breath going from saint to center in the power of a moment it's an agreement the bible says you become enemies of god in your own mind i remember when i read that and i began to meditate upon it that we don't even have to do anything we don't have to go out and rob a bank we have to go out and kill somebody it is the very notion of that you plotted it out that there there are sins that you do and stupid things that you do sin is to miss the mark but there's things that you do in the moment that it doesn't affect you the same and the consequences of of that that sin i believe karmically are not even the same because you didn't know there's a blessing in it father forgive them they know not what they do i'm going to take all of this on myself and i'm going to forgive the things that they had no idea pray that they learn pray that they learn by my example pray that that you teach them and i'll teach them from beyond the grave right and that they learn from this but the sins that you meditate on even when you go to court if you do something there's a different judgment by the human judicial system he premeditated it he lured that person down that alley and robbed him he did what he he we found diagrams we oh wow this changes everything he's been planning this for six months versus something happening in the moment it's something that's called a crime of of passion that the outcome is still the same a person died you committed a crime a sin but the only thing that changes it was the pre-meditation you premeditated that a crime of passion is you come in and your lover's cheating and somebody dies or something you're in the moment you wake up out of a deep sleep and you're still in the dream state you kill somebody listen there's there's a little bit hold on there's some there's some defense here it was a crime of passion he couldn't help himself he'd seen that any it was a temporary insanity so there's a different grace there just like you become an enemy of god in your own mind the scripture says how do you become an enemy of god god is not it didn't say god is the enemy of you let's get that straight it says you become an enemy of god in your mind because you premeditated something you made you made up within yours in your heart that you're going to do something evil that you know is not for your greater goods not for the greater good but you say i'm gonna do it anyway i'm gonna i'm gonna do it anyway and the moment you say that in yourself karmically things change in your mind outside now i'm an enemy of god in my own mind because god only the only people know is you and god your wife don't know your kids don't know the police don't know you and god that you're planning on doing this and the conscious person the cognitive person can rationalize and reason wait maybe i shouldn't maybe i shouldn't there's this war that goes on the sinner the person who was just giving over to that those other desires there is no rationale know that they do what they feel they have surrendered to the lower level root chakra animalistic nature and they just act on that every day and everywhere that's grace for them too but there's a difference when you're like hold on man do i really need take breathe about it think about it for a moment no i ain't doing that it's too much on the line bro i'm gonna get them back and i'm gonna feel good for a moment but i'm gonna be paying for that for 10 years i'm gonna be you know in the moment there's so many thoughts that cross your mind that that if you continue to any of them it's gonna make a bad situation for yourself and others and so astral king here in the comment section says mentioning repent the word repent is literally to have a change of mind a change of heart that i've created in my heart listen i'm finna i got the gun i'm going to his house i know what time he goes to work i'm going to run up on him i just am that's what i do you should have never crossed me that way and for you to repent of this preconceived notion that you've already become an enemy of god in your mind because you're you're doing that the repentance is you know what i'm not going to do it i want to do it and i think that's even an act of worship like all of this is happening in between the span of two thoughts you guys i became an enemy of god i repented and it was even worship that i can choose good or evil i can choose the flesh of the spirit i can live in the spirit i can live in the in the flesh and i get to choose if you was a robot you wouldn't get to choose your program it's like you know what i'm gonna choose the i mean listen we're talking about being unfaithful with your spouse like you choose in a moment you do something in a moment a moment of pleasure that you pay for forever you can't undo it you can be forgiven but i'm telling you that that spouse don't forget you you're doing something that has a lasting implication on somebody's life when you move beyond that threshold and you think about it you know what i'm gonna these girls are inboxing me and they live close they look up to me like a celebrity and they're sending me pictures hey that's up to you everybody gets that that's you you know i use that analogy that's your first test we all get tested with that and i see people that's the first one they fail to leave their wife and their kids for a moment of pleasure lasting implications i would say just in a life but follow that out that's generational curses you cheated you left your wife you left your kids you got a new family you got new a new wife and kid that ain't really yours you just you're there now because that that lady had other kids i know these people and if you're there listen there's grace for you to make things right and to work it out too trust me but you got to be cognitive you got to be wanting to do it you got to be looking for a way but for the person who ain't you have created a generational curse you've created an offspring a kid who now grows up without a daddy cause now you're the disney daddy you're not the homework daddy you're not the change of tire daddy you're the daddy once a month once every six months or for a week every six months and you know you look forward to it it's not the daily daddy so listen there's a there's a hole there there's emptiness that gets passed down from generation to generation and what i mean about that is that thing that you pre-meditated wasn't just for you because if it was just for you you would have been okay you could have dealt with it but now your wife your kids your past your future everything deals with it and adam starseed says here in the comments he says in just 30 seconds of pleasure it would mess it up was that a adam come on man i see what you did there it ain't worth it three minutes an hour ain't worth it two hours six hours it's not worth it it's not worth it it is not worth it that's the premeditation is that you thought about it for every temptation god provides a way out especially with sexual temptation there's a way out you know what the way out is run run that's the that's the way out it's not to think about it it's not to sit there hey listen i'm trying to i'm hanging out with you so i can win you to the lord discipleship dating we used to call it and then the young dude runs through all the girls in the youth group and has sex with all of them discipleship dating what there's a way out there are sins that you fight there's contemplation there's command i command you in jesus name like this is different ways you deal with different things but in that situation in that scenario paul says to flee youthful lust whether it's an unhealthy pornography addiction don't entertain it because it starts in your mind you follow a premeditation out like there's things that you got to follow to make sure nobody catches you doing that flee youthful lust and we see that reiterated in the story of joseph in the old testament where he's in the in the temple of the pharaoh and in pharaoh's palace and pharaoh's wife she's got eyes for this young buck and she's like she's trying to seduce him to buy something that happened over a long period of time but she tried to seduce him and then she tried to force herself on him and this is the the pharaoh the king the head honcho's wife like which thing would go through leaving joseph's head as a man it's like wow i got the one that nobody else can have like this is like like this is a trophy like this is a notch on my belt he's like no leave me alone it's pharaoh i serve pharaoh he took me and he was gracious to me to to clothe me and put me under his his house and i would never i would never disrespect that so joseph tries to back away he run he ends up running she grabs his coat pulls it off of him and he runs without his coat and so in fear that joseph is going to go to pharaoh and say hey man your wife tried to get me man like i'm you know be honest with you do what we got to do to get to the bottom of what she's trying so in fear of her of joseph doing that she goes to pharaoh first oh joseph tried to rape me here's his coat what and then so he becomes an enemy of pharaoh because she lied but again the analogy in that is to flee to run flee youthful lust don't premeditate it don't dwell upon it because why you become an enemy of god in your mind in your mind you didn't even do anything yet man you just started planning you just started moving things around you started making sure nobody was gonna be home you started saying i'm not gonna go with you guys today i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna hang out here and the whole time you knew the whole time listen i know women that uh good spiritual christian friends of mine um we not the women but the guy we go on a retreat we uh we're gonna do a concert out of state and uh wife was seeing them off love you kids are with it see you guys y'all have fun take pictures but she knew the moment she knew that her husband was leaving that she was going to be unfaithful she premeditated it it was a phone call there was a facebook there was an instagram hey he's leaving finally the one from high school the one that got away finally my husband he's not going to be here come over the kids are with her grandparents and you do something that you can't undo it's a premeditation again the grace is different if it was an accident damn he did what y'all did what you were at so it's still the outcome is the same but it's still there's maybe some grace but when you premeditate it you move things around you call grandmother and when you're on the phone with grandmother you're like hey can you come get the kids this weekend i just need i got to study for schooling i need some time to study what sure i'll get the kids give you some time to yourself little did anyone know you wasn't by yourself and you did something that you can't undo i like the religious lingo i like the these analogies in these words but it's for some simple the simplicity of that it's for that ma it's for that woman who thinks about what she's doing before she does it he says you know what i want to listen acknowledge the fact that you want to i do want to it's eating me up so bad that i want to confess it tell a friend repent whatever acknowledge it but get rid of it i'm not going to do it why because i love my husband i love my children and i love myself so much that i'm not going to do that and that's universal that's in every every situation every every scenario and we go back to even go deeper deeper deeper into this we go back to the garden the garden of eden the story the analogy the if it was literal like who knows but we understand that this is the same analogy there because they ate of the fruit but there was a contemplation because you were told not to you were told not to do something and you you had to talk with the serpent you had to talk with somebody else who tricked you who lied to you well you know that if you eat the fruit god is just scared that you're going to become like him and you're going to know good knee with everything he knows and i don't think that that's really what the apple did or what the fruit or the analogy did i think they already was like him they already was created in the likeness in the image of god but what it did is it gave them that false reality that it gave them the opportunity to be defiant and to break that covenant so it was the premeditation that we're gonna eat it wow eve ate it gave it to adam adam eat this fruit man god was tricking us man it was a test to see if we really wanted to be like him or whatever adam eats the fruit and then he looks down and he sees his naked yo lord what's going on why are we naked and so with that where's the sin it's the premeditation because now that you're naked what do you have to do now we gotta cover up we gotta hide ourselves from god we gotta hide our nakedness from god so let's cut these leaves down let's fashion them into clothing so that maybe god doesn't see how naked and how broken we really are and how ashamed we are shame came into the picture you were ashamed to be seen naked most of you still carry that some of you even with your spouses but we won't go there you're ashamed and so what the gospel does what christ does is he takes away your shame of your sin of your nakedness so that you can stand before god without anything in between you don't have to hide anything you're broken but beautiful i know you want to do those things and you're honest with them but you didn't and because of that i can trust you everybody else who i offered the same position to y'all never seen charlie in the chocolate factory man y'all ever seen willy wonka you're talking about analogies listen all of the little kids they settled for instant gratification of a 30-second pleasure but you held out because i asked you to listen that's god because of that i'm going to give you the keys to the kingdom because of that there's a job promotion because of that there's here's your dream you missed one piece to have everything fall into place with your dream here's that piece it's about being faithful it's about being a good steward the bible says that if i can trust you with the little things i'll make you ruler over more if i can't trust you with a chocolate bar because you love sweets if i can't trust you with that i can't trust you with a warehouse of chocolate i can't trust you with my oompa loompas my angels who create and go forth and they work for me i didn't know there was that much of knowledge this is analogy in that movie this is all coming to me on the spot but if there's a teaching and faithfulness there and if you are faithful you will be promoted on any job on any team there's a reason you know who the standout all-stars are because they assert themselves they show you better than they can tell you while you were sleeping they were practicing the early bird got the worm they woke up and read the scriptures they woke up and prayed they woke up and did yoga and meditation they woke up and went to the gym you wanted to sleep in there's a reason the reason charlie was promoted in the end all the kids are mad or dead or some in some weird realm or something the kids were mad hold on y'all took your reward now you you settled for momentary pleasure instead of delayed gratification i had it i was gonna give it all to you and you know those relationships i'm telling you about when you got a good man or a good woman and somebody goes outside the relationship it's like man i was going to give you the world man i was going to move heaven and earth for you but you weren't faithful with the little things we're done and i hate to say it but it is in the analogy it's in every aspect of your life to be faithful and your relationship with god to be faithful relationship with your friends and your family and your time and your energy and your effort and your creativity to be faithful and in your faithfulness there is a reward it's universal law it's bible if you take that seed and you plant it and you cultivate it listen something's gonna sprout it just has to it's law talked about the analogy and the archetypes the charlie and the chocolate factory archetype like it new book guys new book new sermon sermon illustration that'll preach if your spirituality don't come become real to you and your synchronicities aren't showing you god and and connectivity in everything you're doing it wrong if it's here here is god and there's not you're doing it wrong with that i will say peace and shalom new album is on the way album cover should be finished today uh album art for those of you who are patrons your name will be in the album art um you can pre-order to get an autographed copy if that's something you want i get those emails people want autographed cds or autograph books and things like that and i just say you know for the pre-order on the cds we do autograph cities but for the book it was just like you got to get it on amazon but meet me somewhere in person see me at an event come to a concert come to a retreat and i tell you every time somebody comes to the retreat there's always people who bring books with them for me to sign and i i think it's more special for me that way to do it than to have to order it and send it out and it's harder and um it's cool even seeing the wear and tear on the books when they finally get to me got you man i'ma sign it for you and we got to meet that's one of the treats one of the treats of the retreat that you came bro cause not everybody got an autographed copy of that book you know those people who have made connection those people who were friends those people who were you know it means something to me so with that i'm gonna say peace and shalom i mean we got a lot of good stuff coming up go to the website truthseeker.com make sure you get plugged in make sure you become a patron at any level we got a lot of a lot of things that are available a lot of meditations um a lot of good stuff this claymore is watching on twitch we don't have a big audience on twitch but hey they're on that platform they watch this claymore says thanks for the fire stream man hey you're welcome thank you for rocking with me and i've read all your comments here and everybody going back and forth and i hope there was something for you to chew on something to contemplate something to take deeper and that when in that moment that you become an enemy of god you become an enemy of yourself is really what it comes down to but in the same moment or the next moment the next breath you become the delight of the of the lord one that the lord smiles upon one that has been faithful with with the things that almost killed him you know what i'm saying like you're that person you're that guy your mess what was set up to kill you with the enemy meant for your harm god in turn uses for your good and those things it's not over for you even if all those things happen with the cheating and unfaithfulness listen there's there is new beginnings you know god will make a mess of your message and he'll find he'll find a way to make things right for you i do believe that too but if you can help it always do the right thing always do the right that's where mindfulness comes in that's where meditation comes in that's where duality comes in that's where the yin yang comes in because there's contrast there's it's all within you to do both and the fact that you chose evil over good says a lot well the fact that you chose to do good over evil is the act of worship choose this day whom you will serve the bible says that if you walk if you live according to the flesh you will surely die the fleshly nature the lower nature what what i can get scarcity nature not enough to go around consumer nature that gives birth to death but if you live according to the spirit you'll live you'll have life and you'll have peace that's that's spirituality that's breath work that's push paputa that's speaking with the animals that's contemplation that's all of it add that to your study add that to your walk knowing that walking in the spirit is having a spiritual union and daily walk with the creator by spiritual means contemplation that i think about the lord i think about goodness i think about where i was 10 years ago i think about this i think about that and those thoughts move me closer move me closer choose this day whom you serve because you get to choose the god of this world which is what we call satan or people will call the devil or your god becomes yourself or your god is your belly listen we live in a plethora of gods there are angels there are elohim that are not to be worshipped um but the creator and the elohim that wants you to worship them is what people will call a fallen angel the elohim don't desire you to worship them they know their role just like the animals know their role because it's in their dna so the elohim won't ask you to worship them and that's even why jesus never commanded anybody to worship him but we chose we saw that he was worthy we saw that that that uh he was a model and it is something we should follow and because of what he did he opens up the door for so much more for us but he's always pointed back to the father even when we said jesus you're so good you know the idea that everyone and everything is born good or they learn wickedness they even said that to jesus man they were like jesus you're so good i sing it in songs like christian culture like he's been very good like at least good to me for sure but he would say i'm not good i'm not good there is one that is good call no man good because you got both how are you saying that you're all good when you still have the ability and time to do wickedness and to do bad you're tempting god listen his grace is sufficient for the day there is none good but god jesus showed us that he pointed us to the creator who he was in tune with that was his father so with that i will say peace and shalom unless i keep talking love y'all check out the website bunch of cool stuff coming up truth seeker.com we
