13 Near Death Experiences (NDEs) - Greg Halpern's Journey

WEBVTT

00:00:03.790 --> 00:00:06.669
From the time that they pronounced me that was

00:00:06.669 --> 00:00:10.250
a good 45 minutes They cut my clothes and then

00:00:10.250 --> 00:00:13.609
they paddled my heart my heart stopped and I

00:00:13.609 --> 00:00:17.129
could see people screaming and crying But I didn't

00:00:17.129 --> 00:00:19.510
realize that was actually my physical body because

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:22.890
I was somewhere else The only thing that I could

00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:26.809
feel if you can imagine Absolute love and peace

00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:29.829
there wasn't anything else to be felt. I was

00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:33.070
greeted by people I'd known in the past I'm back

00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:36.869
home again. Incredibly safe and felt at home.

00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:40.969
Welcome, welcome to Round Trip Death, everybody,

00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:43.630
and a warm welcome to our special guest today,

00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:46.729
Greg Halpern. How are you, Greg? I'm doing great.

00:00:46.850 --> 00:00:49.990
Thanks so much for asking. This is going to be

00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:53.890
so amazing today talking about 13 NDEs. Before

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:56.869
we jump into it, one minute, we want to get to

00:00:56.869 --> 00:01:00.450
know Greg. Who are you? Well, I'm gonna be 68

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:04.590
in June and I've been born and raised in the

00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:07.989
Chicago Midwest area and spent about two decades

00:01:07.989 --> 00:01:10.930
in San Diego was my dream But I returned back

00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:13.670
to my roots in Chicago where I was the little

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:16.549
kid who got picked on story got into martial

00:01:16.549 --> 00:01:20.370
arts Kept struggling to be able to defend myself

00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:23.879
finally My mid teens, I became a national champion,

00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.180
and then in late teens, I became an international

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:30.359
champion in judo and wanted to qualify for the

00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.620
Olympics in 80, but that got called off. So I

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:35.239
got involved in business. Business was of great

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.879
interest to me. In fact, I've become a serial

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.540
entrepreneur, invented crowdfunding in 1998,

00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:44.439
and I've always been intrigued with how things

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.439
work. As early as my second grade teacher's letter

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.659
to my parents said that It actually sounded kind

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.620
of like a referral for a CEO job. And so I was

00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:58.840
always very intrigued with how things work and

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.640
how to make things work in a manner that would

00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.640
make lives better, namely my life better first,

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.140
because one of the things that always bothered

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.780
me about people trying to improve life, whether

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:13.360
it be health, happiness, wealth, or purpose,

00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:16.319
that they didn't always walk the walk the walk

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.860
and talk the talk. They you know what say do

00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:21.560
this but they were doing something different

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:25.379
so i tried to perfect being good at living if

00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:28.620
you will and that's been my moniker ever since

00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:31.800
is trying to do things that uplift people uplift

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.300
me uplift my family my friends my environment

00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:37.719
and then naturally if you become abundant you

00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.659
want to help those around you so that's become

00:02:40.659 --> 00:02:42.900
essentially i will call it philanthropy i'll

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:45.800
just call it the goodwill of getting so much

00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.939
and receiving so many gifts that i could pass

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:52.180
that back to the world in some meaningful way

00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:54.680
and that's pretty much why i think i've been

00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.639
put here and why i had these experiences kind

00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.900
of like your mission in life well i i just have

00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:03.199
to throw out the thing that i think is the elephant

00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.539
in the room and i hope you don't mind i don't

00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:09.400
mean to be offensive but 13 nd ease i mean come

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.379
on well it's it's been my journey regardless

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:16.280
I didn't plan that to be my journey. In fact,

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.419
when I was a little kid and I would get a near

00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:21.240
-death experience, I always thought I was going

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.439
to get to check out. I didn't like the energy

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.539
on earth. I didn't like the people were very

00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:29.400
disagreeable and argumentative, it seemed to

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:33.139
me. And I didn't think I really belonged here.

00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.539
And that went on for a long time until finally,

00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.180
not only did I think I belonged here, I could

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:41.780
see the purpose to all that. You know, sometimes

00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:45.379
people will say, Well, you know, Greg, can you

00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:47.240
tell me about your background? And I'll say,

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.460
well, that's, you know, kind of where to start.

00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.759
I mean, I've been able to create and lead several

00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.199
industries where I have no training. So how would

00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.340
that happen? The purpose to me then became of

00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:01.699
my near -death experiences to receive these different

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:07.400
gifts or essentially ways to live best for me

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.819
and that I could transfer that into successful.

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.419
business ventures first and then successfully

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:17.339
living a good life. Yeah I think we can all receive

00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.800
some kind of spiritual direction in our lives

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.500
and yours seem to come through the near -death

00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:26.579
experiences. All right we're not going to be

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:29.459
able to get to all 13 but there's a couple that

00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:33.500
stand out that are sort of unusually interesting

00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:36.100
or different or whatever you want to call it.

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.860
I want to start with number 12. We're talking

00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:42.379
about the chlorine here. Would you just give

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:44.319
us some background and take us right through

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.360
that story? Sure. So I was pretty sure by the

00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.259
time I had that experience, which was around

00:04:51.259 --> 00:04:55.139
2005, that I would not have a near -death experience,

00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.439
that I was done with having near -death experiences.

00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.019
I had nine before I was 20, and then I had two

00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:06.360
more in my 20s, and now this takes me to my 40s.

00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:10.129
And I'm living a great life and I'm living in

00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:13.529
Chicago and a suburb called Vernon Hills. I have

00:05:13.529 --> 00:05:15.949
probably the nicest house in Vernon Hills. I

00:05:15.949 --> 00:05:18.930
have a pool in my backyard and I was very obsessive

00:05:18.930 --> 00:05:22.269
about keeping it clean and keeping the floating

00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:26.769
device in the pool that chlorinated it and had

00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:29.149
the little machine that went around and cleaned

00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:32.430
the bottom of the pool with a vacuum. And it

00:05:32.430 --> 00:05:34.709
was a hot August morning, I'll never forget it.

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.540
And I was in the backyard and I saw the chlorine

00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:41.199
canister floating in the pool with a little frog's

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.759
head on top. I don't know if you've ever seen

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.399
this, Eric, but I was putting it up here because

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.379
the top wouldn't come off. It was like the plastic

00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:51.500
had melted it on and it wasn't coming off no

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:54.519
matter what I did. So I was wrestling and wrestling.

00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:57.040
And finally, after, I don't know, maybe two minutes,

00:05:57.139 --> 00:05:59.819
three minutes, it just tore off. What I didn't

00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:02.959
know was the chlorine tab. hadn't completely

00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.699
been used up in the water and it evaporated and

00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:08.040
mixed with the Chicago humidity, the hot August

00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.300
humidity and turned to a gas, a chlorine gas.

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.079
So when I pulled it off, I breathed it in and

00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.720
instantly I felt like somebody put a blowtorch

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.379
right here in my esophagus. Now I marched straight

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:28.100
up this long deck into my back of my house, to

00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:31.339
my kitchen. And my dogs were all barking and

00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:33.220
my wife came out over this balcony and she said,

00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.300
can't you shut the dogs up? I'm trying to sleep.

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.639
And I said, well, I could try, but I said, I'm

00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.699
probably going to be dead in three minutes. Literally.

00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.939
That's what I said. And I knew right away what

00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:45.959
had happened, but I made an emergency trip where

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.480
she called nine one one. And it was a paramedic

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.170
driving a mile away down Butterfield road. And

00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:55.529
as he drove by, I guess he just made a turn and

00:06:55.529 --> 00:06:58.290
came right into the development to try to rescue

00:06:58.290 --> 00:07:01.430
me. But I went straight to this drawer where

00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:03.930
there was a bottle like this, and on there I

00:07:03.930 --> 00:07:07.300
had a mock -up label called Oral Saver. An oral

00:07:07.300 --> 00:07:09.420
saver was something I had developed. You know

00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:12.160
when you get like you bite your cheek or you

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.920
burn your mouth on a hot soup or pizza cheese

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.079
or whatever or you know if you get hit in the

00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.220
mouth and you bite your tongue or you get a cold

00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:21.660
sore. I was always obsessed that this has to

00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:23.980
be fixed and I was always inventing things. I

00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:26.819
had patents going back to the 80s in electronic

00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:30.139
anesthesia and all kinds of stuff. So I had spent

00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:34.029
about two months developing this solution. that

00:07:34.029 --> 00:07:36.290
you could put in your mouth if you had any of

00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:41.129
these oral ailments. And it had 13 separate homeopathic

00:07:41.129 --> 00:07:45.949
ingredients that were for anti -burn situations.

00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:49.569
It had chlorophyll. It had food -grade hydrogen

00:07:49.569 --> 00:07:53.189
peroxide. It had all kinds of neat things, astringents.

00:07:53.850 --> 00:07:57.209
And so I just subconsciously said, I got to have

00:07:57.209 --> 00:08:00.139
that. So I went to the drawer. Not knowing the

00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:02.079
profoundness of it. I took the bottle out and

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.699
I drank about half the bottle and then I could

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:06.500
drink anymore because my throat was closing up.

00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.860
I went upstairs. I sat down on this massage chair

00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:13.399
that we had and a minute later there was a paramedic

00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.220
sticking a tube down my throat and taking me

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:18.579
to the Condell Hospital. Then it gradually opened

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.680
up and everything went back to somewhat normal,

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.180
but it felt like I'd been blowtorched. There

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:26.939
was no real big deal there except that I was

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:29.360
sure that this was it. I was gonna die because

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.560
my esophagus was going to burn up and it felt

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.139
like that. But anyway, I finally, I said to the

00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:36.460
doctor who came and examined me, they said, well,

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.519
you're in great shape. We've done this, you know,

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.600
all these tests and EKG and echo and chest x

00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.460
-rays and all this. And normally what happens

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:47.480
is when somebody has this kind of severe injury,

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.500
you get a collapsed lung and then you have a

00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:53.120
stroke and then you die. or you become brain

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.860
dead. And so we'll watch you for a couple of

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.659
days. And I said, no, I got to get to a meeting.

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.440
She said, well, I won't sign you out and insurance

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.980
won't pay if you don't promise me that you'll

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.779
come right back from the side of the road. You'll

00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:07.159
call if there's any problem. So I did. And I

00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.500
left. Now that night I went home and fell asleep

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:14.139
at my desk at home about 11 o 'clock at night.

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:18.580
And then I woke up to this information. You know,

00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:23.549
you get an idea. Eric, you're hearing this would

00:09:23.549 --> 00:09:25.850
be a great little invention. So you start writing

00:09:25.850 --> 00:09:27.870
and I'm sure this has happened to a lot of the

00:09:27.870 --> 00:09:30.070
listeners. You don't want to forget this idea.

00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.389
So I'm writing the purpose of life is to create

00:09:32.389 --> 00:09:34.590
positive increase in all things good. So I was

00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:36.509
like, okay, great. You know, that sounds really

00:09:36.509 --> 00:09:40.309
good. And, but usually when people get what they

00:09:40.309 --> 00:09:44.549
want, like in love, They start to see its limitations

00:09:44.549 --> 00:09:46.830
after a period of time, whether it be days, weeks,

00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:49.070
months. It could be a relationship. It could

00:09:49.070 --> 00:09:52.090
be that new house. It could be, you know, a trip

00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:54.149
you're going to take something amazing. But after

00:09:54.149 --> 00:09:56.809
a period of time, they start to see its limitations

00:09:56.809 --> 00:10:01.289
rather than the positive desire and love wanting

00:10:01.289 --> 00:10:04.169
and things that they had for whatever that was.

00:10:04.309 --> 00:10:07.230
And then it starts to break down. That was just

00:10:07.230 --> 00:10:08.590
very profound. I'm writing, writing, writing.

00:10:08.649 --> 00:10:11.000
So now I'm at a page. And I'm like, well, this

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.600
isn't going to do because the information is

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.000
still coming. So I start typing and I'm typing

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.340
and typing and typing. And like an hour's passed

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:20.100
and I've got principle one, principle two, principle

00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:23.379
three. And so I keep doing this. And with the

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:25.419
exception of nodding off a few times and waking

00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:28.860
up drooling on myself and having a couple of

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:31.639
snacks, you know, going to the bathroom so often,

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:37.419
I had this giant library of information and I'd

00:10:37.419 --> 00:10:39.379
always thought I lived well. And I always thought

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.240
I had great information and I always thought

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.039
it came in from the ether as a result of these

00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.259
experiences. But this time it was different because

00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:49.480
now I had this gigantic library of things that

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.340
you could literally follow it. And that became

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:56.220
this giant inventory of information that apparently

00:10:56.220 --> 00:11:00.480
from what I learned in my 13th near -death experience,

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.580
I was to be conditioned over the course of years

00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.340
and receive all these near -death experiences

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:10.429
to essentially take out of my way out of my mind,

00:11:10.549 --> 00:11:12.750
you know, all the elements that are going on

00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:15.850
on Earth on a typical day and clear the path,

00:11:15.850 --> 00:11:18.110
if you will, to receive this information to where

00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:21.529
I can just receive it exactly as it was designed

00:11:21.529 --> 00:11:24.549
to do. And if somebody believes, as I do, in

00:11:24.549 --> 00:11:27.129
a spiritual force, you know, a supreme being,

00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:29.509
I call it God, but, you know, people might have

00:11:29.509 --> 00:11:31.830
all different views. And I wouldn't call myself

00:11:31.830 --> 00:11:34.190
religious more than I would call myself spiritual.

00:11:34.889 --> 00:11:38.940
But you believe that that good things are supposed

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:40.860
to come to you and it comes through this supreme

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:44.179
power, this universal consciousness or collective

00:11:44.179 --> 00:11:46.220
consciousness, you know, we're all one mind.

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.779
And I was receiving all this great information

00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:51.480
and then I had to know what to do with it. Of

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.340
course, it took until years later and took till

00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:59.460
2016 and then 2020 and now to have three different

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:02.440
iterations of the same material that's been epically

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.659
transforming people all around the world for

00:12:05.929 --> 00:12:07.950
for a long time it's very gratifying but anyway

00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:11.289
that's a summary of this unique experience that

00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:15.450
i had very cool and yeah i would call it unique

00:12:15.450 --> 00:12:20.590
a lot of regular nds they have some time where

00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:23.470
the person feels like they left their body and

00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:25.929
either looked down on themselves or went someplace

00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:28.610
else there's tunnels sometimes there's not some

00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:32.009
other times in any of your experiences did you

00:12:32.009 --> 00:12:35.450
have something like that happen Well, my experience

00:12:35.450 --> 00:12:39.049
was always, it seems now and looking back at

00:12:39.049 --> 00:12:41.429
it at the time didn't seem so, but at five from

00:12:41.429 --> 00:12:46.850
five years old on very controlled into a space

00:12:46.850 --> 00:12:49.269
of light. I can't even call it a room. I couldn't

00:12:49.269 --> 00:12:51.429
say there were boundaries, just being stuck in

00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:53.889
a space of light with a voice saying, you got

00:12:53.889 --> 00:12:57.970
to go back. There's things to do. You know, you're

00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:01.129
on the right path, but you have to do this and

00:13:01.129 --> 00:13:03.509
you have to do that. And so this was always.

00:13:05.829 --> 00:13:08.309
I thought I was going to get to check out then

00:13:08.309 --> 00:13:10.149
later when I learned to fight and beat up a lot

00:13:10.149 --> 00:13:13.490
of bullies and things and became a world -level

00:13:13.490 --> 00:13:16.690
champion. I thought that was my purpose. And

00:13:16.690 --> 00:13:18.470
then later when I got into business and created

00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:20.309
crowdfunding and did all these things that don't

00:13:20.309 --> 00:13:22.909
seem to go with no training. He has no training,

00:13:23.289 --> 00:13:26.360
but he's a speaker at the Academy of General

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.080
Dentistry, the only non -degraded speaker, speaking

00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.240
about his invention, electronic anesthesia, and

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.679
getting dentists for four hours where they get

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.620
Master's fellowship credit for attending his

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:40.399
seminar. I mean, these things don't, they're

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.120
not logical. If somebody says, well, yeah, but

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.399
13, it sounds ridiculous. Or, you know, tell

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.340
me about your life. I guess I can only say after

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:50.519
13 near -death experiences and all the gifts

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.649
that I've received, Eric, as a result. I can

00:13:53.649 --> 00:13:56.710
only say that it's, you know, I sort of recognize

00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:59.250
an absurdity to my own existence, if you will.

00:13:59.909 --> 00:14:02.149
Yeah. Tell me a little bit about this bright

00:14:02.149 --> 00:14:05.549
place that you tend to go to. You said it has

00:14:05.549 --> 00:14:08.370
no boundaries, so it's not like a room. What

00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:13.370
is it like? Well, it's like a giant space of

00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:15.990
like, like, let's say the sun was ultra bright

00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:19.960
and it lit up the space with warm light. You're

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.240
just in the space. You're aware that you're in

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.539
the space. You don't see yourself. I didn't see

00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:28.500
myself Anyway, some people say they see themselves

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:32.299
in this kind of transition to an afterlife I

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:34.500
never really felt it was a transition. I felt

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:36.720
for a long time for the first several near -death

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.379
experiences i thought i was getting to check

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:43.039
out which was my kind of my goal then later i

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:44.740
thought well you know maybe there's a lot more

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:46.879
to this that i'm supposed to be doing because

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.879
i keep getting told to go back there's work to

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.440
do i'm not being told what the work is but then

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.620
i'm kind of being shown it and i'm receiving

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:55.860
information that tells me exactly what to do

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:58.879
so i feel like i became a vessel i mean that's

00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.799
kind of a corny word but you know i'll use that

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.200
word a vessel to receive this information because

00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.700
when you look back on it uh I've had a lot of

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:09.980
what I'll call thought leaders or people involved

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:14.179
in the mind fields or mindfulness fields, I guess

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:17.580
they call it now. And I was mentored by some

00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:20.620
of these Zig Ziggler or Nightingale W. Comet

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:23.679
Stone. They always said you are what you think

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.419
about you become your thoughts and thoughts are

00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:28.500
things, but I always felt it in the heart. So

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:31.100
when i'm in the space i feel something changing

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:34.440
in the heart i feel instant manifestation and

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.879
i'm receiving this so people over the years that

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.139
have sort of reviewed my background of said.

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:41.539
You know do you ever feel like you're getting

00:15:41.539 --> 00:15:44.460
your information from the ether from the universe

00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:47.299
or just coming into you nice about the only way

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:49.299
i feel like i've ever received any information

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:52.080
at all and this is cause me some frustration

00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.419
in that when i've. Early on would see people

00:15:55.419 --> 00:15:58.429
doing something i would say. Have you thought

00:15:58.429 --> 00:16:00.669
of doing it like this or something? And thinking

00:16:00.669 --> 00:16:03.070
to myself, isn't it obvious? You could do so

00:16:03.070 --> 00:16:05.049
much better if you were just doing this and this,

00:16:05.309 --> 00:16:07.169
but you couldn't really say that because people

00:16:07.169 --> 00:16:09.970
are like, well, how do you know? I guess I could

00:16:09.970 --> 00:16:12.409
just look at it and see clearly. So that's what

00:16:12.409 --> 00:16:14.950
I think these transmissions were about to me

00:16:14.950 --> 00:16:18.230
because later I don't say I look forward to it,

00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:20.690
but I look forward to kind of proving that I

00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:22.970
would just die and then I wouldn't die anyway.

00:16:23.110 --> 00:16:26.110
So until... Now, you have to fast forward to

00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:27.850
that 12th near -death experience because I think

00:16:27.850 --> 00:16:32.870
it's very significant that I wasn't actually

00:16:32.870 --> 00:16:36.049
going to, in my mind, have any more near -death

00:16:36.049 --> 00:16:40.549
experiences when the 12th came. It was more than

00:16:40.549 --> 00:16:43.090
15 years after my last near -death experience.

00:16:43.409 --> 00:16:45.850
So I just thought I was done with that and then

00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:48.210
I find out that I'm going to get all this information

00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:50.950
and that's the whole point of that. Now, I always

00:16:50.950 --> 00:16:54.529
had that light. except on my twelfth and my thirteenth.

00:16:55.110 --> 00:16:57.250
And on the thirteenth I just had darkness sort

00:16:57.250 --> 00:16:59.190
of end of the world gloom and doom because I

00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:02.830
was I had a ruptured appendix I don't know should

00:17:02.830 --> 00:17:04.849
I tell you something about that what happened

00:17:04.849 --> 00:17:07.950
on my thirteenth. Well yeah and tell us about

00:17:07.950 --> 00:17:11.210
the doom and gloom that you experienced. Well

00:17:11.210 --> 00:17:13.230
that was different than all the others and I

00:17:13.230 --> 00:17:16.250
guess that was my proverbial kick in the pants

00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:18.869
from the source You know from the source of where

00:17:18.869 --> 00:17:20.829
I'm getting this information and I can't tell

00:17:20.829 --> 00:17:25.690
you this is God or God's helpers or angels or

00:17:25.690 --> 00:17:28.869
you know people sent to tell me stuff what I

00:17:28.869 --> 00:17:31.789
can tell you is that After I receive all that

00:17:31.789 --> 00:17:33.910
information. I think okay now what I'm supposed

00:17:33.910 --> 00:17:37.369
to do with it now fast forward I've written a

00:17:37.369 --> 00:17:40.789
book called a message from the source I put it

00:17:40.789 --> 00:17:42.569
out under a different title. I won't say much

00:17:42.569 --> 00:17:44.450
about that now because I'm going to re -release

00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:48.990
it. But it was the core information put into

00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:51.589
about a hundred page book that taught people

00:17:51.589 --> 00:17:55.490
seven blessings of meditation to receive essentially

00:17:55.490 --> 00:17:59.710
clarity, health, happiness, purpose, awareness,

00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:04.750
and abundance. I put it out there, but I think

00:18:04.750 --> 00:18:08.230
in 2009, I was being Rolfed. If you don't know

00:18:08.230 --> 00:18:11.190
what Rolfing is for the audience, it's deep tissue

00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:14.289
work. And most people after one Rolfing session

00:18:14.289 --> 00:18:16.930
cry and leave and they don't ever go back because

00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:20.309
they, Rolfers, which named after Ida Rolf, the

00:18:20.309 --> 00:18:24.509
inventor, this physicist in the 1920s, has a

00:18:24.509 --> 00:18:26.829
whole global institution I'll call the Rolfing

00:18:26.829 --> 00:18:29.569
Institute. And they are trained to dig deep into

00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:32.670
the body with their hands and stretch the muscle

00:18:32.670 --> 00:18:35.680
from the fascia and the bone. And it's very painful

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:38.559
for somebody that just goes to get, maybe they

00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.940
think they're getting a massage. And it's designed

00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:45.559
to elongate the spine and take away the injuries

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.680
from compression and just getting older. This

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.839
Rolfer was doing my 189th Rolfing session. And

00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.559
I used to sleep through Rolfing, which you don't

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.400
do because people can't sleep because it's too,

00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.259
but I would give into the process and it would

00:18:58.259 --> 00:19:01.099
help me deal with well over a hundred severe

00:19:01.099 --> 00:19:03.680
injuries I've had from being a fighting martial

00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.049
artist. And what I didn't know was on the 10th,

00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:10.589
this was her 10th session for me, or my 189th

00:19:10.589 --> 00:19:12.809
time I've been Ralphed, and she was doing the,

00:19:12.809 --> 00:19:14.829
they do the middle of the body in that session.

00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:17.829
And since I was sleeping, she always lamented

00:19:17.829 --> 00:19:20.549
that I didn't give feedback as I was sleeping,

00:19:20.569 --> 00:19:22.890
and that's not normal during Ralphing, and sleeping

00:19:22.890 --> 00:19:26.309
is not normal. But she manually ruptured my appendix.

00:19:26.490 --> 00:19:29.049
Now it's 2009, and I was at home with it for

00:19:29.049 --> 00:19:32.069
three days. I thought it was food poisoning.

00:19:32.550 --> 00:19:35.349
By the time I went to the hospital, I said, you're

00:19:35.349 --> 00:19:37.670
gonna have to catheter me because I haven't been

00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:39.549
able to pee for six hours. So in the middle of

00:19:39.549 --> 00:19:41.150
the emergency room on a Friday night with my

00:19:41.150 --> 00:19:42.990
family standing around, they just cathetered

00:19:42.990 --> 00:19:45.210
me and I peed two gallons. And they said, now

00:19:45.210 --> 00:19:46.990
you need to take out my appendix. And they said.

00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:48.970
Why do you say that?" I said, "'Cause Rolfer

00:19:48.970 --> 00:19:50.349
was Rolfering me. You probably don't know what

00:19:50.349 --> 00:19:52.589
that is." And she manually ruptured my appendix.

00:19:52.609 --> 00:19:53.869
And I'd been sitting at home with it thinking

00:19:53.869 --> 00:19:56.029
it was food poisoning. I only came to the hospital

00:19:56.029 --> 00:19:57.750
because I couldn't be for six hours, but now

00:19:57.750 --> 00:19:59.869
I can tell you it's my appendix. And they said,

00:19:59.890 --> 00:20:01.829
we don't think so because you couldn't talk right

00:20:01.829 --> 00:20:04.549
now if it was your appendix ruptured three days

00:20:04.549 --> 00:20:07.109
ago. And I said, well, I have a very high pain

00:20:07.109 --> 00:20:09.670
threshold. But that's a different story for another

00:20:09.670 --> 00:20:12.279
time. They came back with the iron test and said,

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.319
okay, it is ruptured, but we think it's a minor

00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.319
clean out. That half hour clean out that they

00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.740
projected was a six hour clean out of full blown

00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:21.619
peritonitis. And on the third day of recovery,

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.980
they medicated me and I flatlined. They over

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:27.119
medicated me basically. And I had a premonition

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.059
they were going to and they did. And then I flatlined

00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:32.579
and then in that space, I basically saw the end

00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:37.809
of the world in 2023. This was 2009. And I see

00:20:37.809 --> 00:20:40.089
this end of the world and it basically I get

00:20:40.089 --> 00:20:42.230
a message, you know at that time It's either

00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:44.710
gonna be the end of all things as you know it

00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:47.490
or a new beginning that's gonna be grand to the

00:20:47.490 --> 00:20:49.789
world you've been given this information to do

00:20:49.789 --> 00:20:51.769
a lot more with it and you're just sitting on

00:20:51.769 --> 00:20:54.849
your Your backside waiting for something to happen.

00:20:54.950 --> 00:20:56.109
You're gonna have to get out there now and make

00:20:56.109 --> 00:21:00.089
this happen. So that was 2009 after that I was

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:03.640
told in dreams and so forth that i'll not have

00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.839
anymore near death experiences this time to just

00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.799
take this information and make sure i get the

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.579
masses so that became source living. Add a test

00:21:12.579 --> 00:21:16.240
market app that was on apple and android for

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:18.839
about a year. Put all my own money into it put

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.279
it out there and it was there was over a hundred

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.259
thousand sign ups in three months and i couldn't

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:27.119
maintain it because you need a whole team you

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.289
need to be like. prepared to be like a Silicon

00:21:29.289 --> 00:21:31.930
Valley company and I wasn't, that was a one -man

00:21:31.930 --> 00:21:35.710
show with a hired team. So I brought it out as

00:21:35.710 --> 00:21:37.849
Source Living and it was, people were epically

00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:40.509
transforming for just watching and listening

00:21:40.509 --> 00:21:44.869
to these videos. That 3000 principles from 12

00:21:44.869 --> 00:21:49.009
near -death experience turned into this app,

00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:51.369
which turned into 300 principles because even

00:21:51.369 --> 00:21:54.250
that wasn't manageable. And I couldn't manage

00:21:54.250 --> 00:21:57.029
the app company, although it was doing very well.

00:21:57.190 --> 00:22:01.170
I closed it in 2018. In 2019, I reopened it as

00:22:01.170 --> 00:22:04.250
Formula 4 protocol. That had the same level of

00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:06.970
success, but it had scaled down to only 100 principles

00:22:06.970 --> 00:22:10.769
of this core information that I was living off

00:22:10.769 --> 00:22:14.109
of. And I say living off it, the thing that always

00:22:14.109 --> 00:22:17.930
distresses me about people giving ideas, information,

00:22:18.190 --> 00:22:20.990
advice, input on self -help, self -improvement,

00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:23.569
mindfulness, near -death experiences, whatever,

00:22:23.809 --> 00:22:28.750
was that they couldn't walk the same talk. And

00:22:28.750 --> 00:22:31.289
that really bothered me. But I was applying all

00:22:31.289 --> 00:22:33.170
these principles, and my life was exponentially

00:22:33.170 --> 00:22:35.049
moving upward. And everybody that was getting

00:22:35.049 --> 00:22:37.829
it was having these epic transformations. And

00:22:37.829 --> 00:22:39.809
they could make videos and talk about it. And

00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:42.930
those videos are now... on the internet so that's

00:22:42.930 --> 00:22:45.390
something of great gratification but it's also

00:22:45.390 --> 00:22:48.769
reinforcement of me having to accelerate my purposes

00:22:48.769 --> 00:22:51.910
which is why i'm now doing this circuit of great

00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:55.650
shows like yourself. Okay i want to hear more

00:22:55.650 --> 00:22:57.950
about your childhood indies but i had just one

00:22:57.950 --> 00:23:01.450
quick question first what happened when in twenty

00:23:01.450 --> 00:23:04.549
twenty three the earth didn't end or the world

00:23:04.549 --> 00:23:08.589
didn't end like you had the premonition of. Well,

00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:10.849
the premonition wasn't that the world would end

00:23:10.849 --> 00:23:13.849
the premonition was actually a full blown I've

00:23:13.849 --> 00:23:17.450
actually Drawn out what it looked like the the

00:23:17.450 --> 00:23:20.769
world Basically a lot of destruction in the world.

00:23:20.869 --> 00:23:23.549
It said it's clear It says you and people like

00:23:23.549 --> 00:23:26.309
you with information like this we'll have to

00:23:26.309 --> 00:23:29.990
go out and do this work now because at 2023 will

00:23:29.990 --> 00:23:33.720
be this inflection where it will be the end of

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.920
all things as we know it or the beginning of

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.839
a great new world, which I think we hit in 2023.

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:42.980
And it just, if you look at the transitions of

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:44.039
things that are happening now, there's a lot

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.119
of battling going on, but there's also a lot

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.779
of great things happening as well. And I think

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:51.680
that's going to result in. just a better world.

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.640
So I wasn't given the responsibility of preventing

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.079
the world from destroying itself. Those wheels

00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.160
have been set in motion by much more powerful

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.940
forces than, you know, lowly Greg Halpern. Well,

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:05.940
and you had said that it was going to be one

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:09.640
or the other, the end or this new beginning.

00:24:10.029 --> 00:24:12.450
I hadn't personally seen the new beginning, so

00:24:12.450 --> 00:24:15.269
I assumed the other, but you have. And that's

00:24:15.269 --> 00:24:18.029
super interesting. And I love that positive outlook

00:24:18.029 --> 00:24:20.710
because it seems like there's so much bad news

00:24:20.710 --> 00:24:24.549
out there today. So the fact that we are headed

00:24:24.549 --> 00:24:29.670
in a newer, maybe more right direction, that's

00:24:29.670 --> 00:24:31.670
great news. I don't want to stick there, though.

00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:34.529
I want to go back to your first NDE when you

00:24:34.529 --> 00:24:36.490
were five years old. Tell us a little bit about

00:24:36.490 --> 00:24:41.750
that. I was the beneficiary of a tonsillectomy.

00:24:41.869 --> 00:24:44.269
At that time, you go to the doctor with a sore

00:24:44.269 --> 00:24:46.210
throat for more than three or four times. They

00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:49.309
say time to get those tonsils out and the adenoids

00:24:49.309 --> 00:24:51.069
too. I guess I don't know if that's the same

00:24:51.069 --> 00:24:53.990
thing or part of the same assembly. Anyway, I

00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:58.230
got the tonsils out and the second night at home

00:24:58.230 --> 00:25:02.890
at midnight, I remember my mom would start shaking

00:25:02.890 --> 00:25:05.490
me and I remember really well. I mean, the thing

00:25:05.490 --> 00:25:08.589
about my whole life is very profound. I have

00:25:08.589 --> 00:25:11.619
this Some people call this a photographic memory.

00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.859
I just call it a permanent memory of all the

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:16.220
things that I experienced in my life. Well, I

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.140
remember my mom shaking me like this by my upper

00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:22.859
body, Greg, Greg, get up. And I was thinking,

00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:24.880
no, no, I don't want to get up. This is going

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.480
to work. And what she was referring to is she

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.140
came on to check me for a second time that night

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:33.519
before she went to bed and my whole pillow was

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.319
red and blood was coming out. So it was just

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.220
rolling out and She started screaming for my

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:44.220
father and then a heartbeat. I'm in his car eight

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:47.259
minutes to the hospital by a normal ride to the

00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:48.839
Highland Park hospital, but he probably got there

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.420
in four. I had a bowl on my lap and I was just

00:25:53.420 --> 00:25:56.299
like this and the blood was just coming out.

00:25:56.740 --> 00:26:00.339
And I had about maybe three cups. They said three

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:02.799
cups of blood. And it was going like waves back

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.380
and forth. Cause you know, we just sat in the

00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:06.730
seat. We didn't have belts or anything. So we

00:26:06.730 --> 00:26:08.730
get to the hospital now we're talking about this

00:26:08.730 --> 00:26:12.769
is 1963 and The doctor meets us at the emergency

00:26:12.769 --> 00:26:16.789
exit and he rushes me in from a chair to a gurney

00:26:16.789 --> 00:26:19.809
into an operating room Sticks me on the gurney

00:26:19.809 --> 00:26:22.589
and wraps me up like a mummy with this sheet

00:26:22.589 --> 00:26:24.809
on a roll never seen anything like it before

00:26:24.809 --> 00:26:27.950
or since a sheet on a roll he goes like this

00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:30.230
and I'm like this and all the sticking out of

00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:33.789
my head He takes now keep in mind all I can smell

00:26:33.789 --> 00:26:37.579
is iron from blood He takes what looks like a

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:39.220
paint roller's pen, sticks it right next to my

00:26:39.220 --> 00:26:42.240
head, dumps a giant bottle of iodine solution

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.119
in it, empties the whole bottle, then takes a

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.180
sponge that I can only describe as a loofah,

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.460
puts it in there, then takes the tongs like you

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:51.599
flip a burger on a grill and he's playing with

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.720
it, getting it nice and soaked up. Then he tells

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:55.720
my dad it looks like he's about to pass out because

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.319
my dad did not like the sight of blood. And I

00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:59.700
was like, if you guys will just leave me alone,

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:01.880
this is going to work, I can check out now, you

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.299
know? And that's what I was thinking of myself.

00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.079
But by this time I was so far past it, you know,

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:09.859
just the smells were making me nauseous. He takes

00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:12.559
the sponge and he tells my dad, hold his mouth

00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.039
open and don't let him move. So he sticks this

00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:16.519
giant sponge down my throat and he says, you

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:18.680
can count sheep if you want. So I started counting.

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.920
I remember getting to 14 in my head at least.

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:27.420
And that was it. I went to completely fade out,

00:27:27.420 --> 00:27:30.319
you know, like in a movie fade to black. And

00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.759
then there's this light. and it's this room of

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.700
light or the space of light. I could call it

00:27:36.700 --> 00:27:38.680
a room, but there was no boundaries on it. So

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.599
I'm just sitting there and I'm aware that I'm

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.700
in the light. And I get a voice talking to me,

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.779
you know, a low voice, my imaginary vision of

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:52.039
God maybe. And the voice says, you got to go

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.460
back and don't be coming around here anymore

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:59.579
because there's work to do. And he's like, work?

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:03.549
What work? And I wake up and it's two days later

00:28:03.549 --> 00:28:05.829
and I'm in my bed and there's a stack of cards

00:28:05.829 --> 00:28:08.690
from my kindergarten classmates, apparently wishing

00:28:08.690 --> 00:28:12.349
me to get well, but I still have. And my mom

00:28:12.349 --> 00:28:14.349
is waiting there, apparently been waiting for

00:28:14.349 --> 00:28:17.089
hours for me to wake up. And she said, do you

00:28:17.089 --> 00:28:19.930
want jello or ice cream? And that was so funny

00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:24.410
to me. I just started laughing. And I couldn't

00:28:24.410 --> 00:28:28.140
laugh too loud because it hurt my throat. I just

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:29.599
thought that was so funny, and what I didn't

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.759
realize was I had just received this gift of

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:35.279
a sense of humor. It was so extreme that everything

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.299
that people would say, I would find humor in

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:40.559
it, even no matter how dark it was or negative

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.859
or positive. It didn't matter. Going a week forward

00:28:43.859 --> 00:28:46.180
after that, when I went back to school finally,

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:52.279
if I had any friends around, I'd just break into

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.890
faces. until they were in hysterics. I was like

00:28:55.890 --> 00:28:58.009
Jim Carrey, you know, like imagine Jim Carrey

00:28:58.009 --> 00:29:00.789
as a child making faces. So I was like that and

00:29:00.789 --> 00:29:03.650
I would just go on and on and on and once I got

00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:07.569
people into the laugh, I would just keep going,

00:29:07.910 --> 00:29:09.970
you know, and this would go on forever. And I

00:29:09.970 --> 00:29:12.720
became this, like he's the funniest kid. There's

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.640
no reason why he's the funniest kid, he's just

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.799
funny. Just watch him, listen to him. And I'd

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.119
become clever and I would say funny things and

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:21.240
I would twist words around and make new languages

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:24.099
and people would, you know, find this amusing.

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.480
So I thought, well, this is this huge gift. I

00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:28.900
wanted to check out and now I'm just immersed

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:31.640
in comedy. I'm funny. And everybody thinks I'm

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.599
funny. And it makes me feel good to laugh and

00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.599
it makes me feel good to make them laugh. That

00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:38.579
was what the first near -death experience that

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:41.059
I went through was all about. How strange that

00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:43.819
that voice in addition to telling you to go back

00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:46.700
said, don't come back here again. I mean, that

00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:48.920
seems kind of funny right there, especially since

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.220
you did go back a number of times after you disobedient

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:56.339
little boy. Yeah. Well, that's so true. And I

00:29:56.339 --> 00:29:58.640
got to thinking that, you know, what is that

00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.240
all about? Really? You know, if I keep coming

00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.519
back, as you say, don't come back. Well, that

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.980
wore out after a while. It changed to you're

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:09.519
doing better. Stay on track. Do more of this.

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:12.420
It's working, even though you don't see it now.

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.579
Like, okay, good. You know, and I really, I didn't

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:17.839
see myself making it past 20. And then when I

00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.579
got to 20, I had my nightmare death experience.

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:22.579
I was tackled on a flight of stairs from behind

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:25.140
and I woke up in the hospital three days later

00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:27.839
from a coma with all the discs in my low back

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.819
disintegrating over the next two years and a

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:32.160
myriad of health problems that would make just

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.480
about anybody that I've ever met pray to die

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.079
pretty quick. So at that point, I just gave into

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.529
it. I said well there's got to be a reason for

00:30:40.529 --> 00:30:42.990
this because nobody would go through this if

00:30:42.990 --> 00:30:45.710
there wasn't there better be a reason you know

00:30:45.710 --> 00:30:49.109
that's all I'm saying well there always is these

00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:51.869
experiences aren't for entertainment value there's

00:30:51.869 --> 00:30:54.829
always a reason I believe and always something

00:30:54.829 --> 00:30:57.730
to learn from them uh let's hear about your one

00:30:57.730 --> 00:31:01.430
at seven years old well this is of course now

00:31:01.430 --> 00:31:06.819
we're at 1965 so I'm uh really living it up.

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.779
I'm in the back of my grandparents' new Sedan

00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:13.140
de Vil Cadillac and this is just a great thing.

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:14.880
But you know we're jumping around in the backseat,

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:16.960
me and my sister, because Rolling Stones can't

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:19.900
get no satisfactions playing. And I think the

00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:22.400
single just came out and it was sound great.

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.299
My grandfather would always play the good popular

00:31:25.299 --> 00:31:27.640
tunes. He got a kick out of them, especially

00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:29.819
the Beatles' Hello Goodbye. He liked to sing

00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:33.119
along with it because it sounds ridiculous. All

00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.559
of a sudden, they were going 75. I'm looking

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.960
at the speedometer from the back seat, because

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.779
I'm in the middle between the two seats. And

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:43.599
then I'm sitting back, and then I'm jumping up,

00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.960
and then I'm doing the music. And I'm playing

00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.380
with my lap belt. The lap belt was an option.

00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.720
We call it a seat belt, but it was called an

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.039
optional lap belt on that car. And I'm clicking

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:57.339
it on, off, on, off. And then I believe it was

00:31:57.339 --> 00:32:02.680
right after I clicked it on the car. turned into

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.039
the silver guard rail. It was very heavy traffic.

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.279
We were driving to a pool party in the July summer

00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.460
of 65, and we drive into that little silver metal

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:14.920
guard rail that was in the center, and the car

00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:19.019
goes up and over it, flips upside down, and lands

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:21.319
upside down on the other side with the roof caving

00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.700
in, and the car being hit going round and round

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:27.519
and round, being hit by six cars going 75 in

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.049
the other direction. Well, what we didn't know

00:32:30.049 --> 00:32:32.789
was that a 14 year old girl, you know This comes

00:32:32.789 --> 00:32:35.210
under the category of you can't make this up,

00:32:35.210 --> 00:32:39.650
you know, a 14 year old girl had waited For her

00:32:39.650 --> 00:32:41.190
parents to go out of town and her babysitter

00:32:41.190 --> 00:32:44.670
to fall asleep from will met, Illinois To get

00:32:44.670 --> 00:32:47.549
into her father's favorite little sports car

00:32:47.549 --> 00:32:50.049
an mg midget if you don't remember this car But

00:32:50.049 --> 00:32:54.009
it was oh, yeah a go -kart with a body and she

00:32:54.009 --> 00:32:57.279
wanted to drive it and she did and she got on

00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.460
the highway somehow driving it a stick shift

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:03.140
and had the car at full speed because she lost

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:05.019
control of it going straight under the back end

00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:07.579
of our Cadillac now my grandmother was driving

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:09.900
never saw it because you wouldn't see it the

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:11.759
car is too little and too low and drove under

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:13.759
the bit end of the biggest one of the biggest

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.240
cars on the road at the time because she did

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.079
this and the car was literally crushed to a sardine

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:21.279
can on the other side of the highway and when

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.279
all this stopped i was just going through my

00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.619
light my light space and I get the voice. I told

00:33:28.619 --> 00:33:32.160
you to stop looking around in here. Don't be

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.940
looking around in here. You're going to be okay,

00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:37.059
but don't come back here. Go back and do the

00:33:37.059 --> 00:33:41.019
work. And then I look to my hand. I'm starting

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:44.259
to come to my surroundings, but I don't know

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:47.420
that I am. And I have two lines on here on my

00:33:47.420 --> 00:33:49.160
hand. You can't barely see them anymore. But

00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.160
what was happening was there was looks like a

00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:56.940
glass dagger was stuck in my hand going in here

00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:59.759
and coming out here. It was embedded in there.

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:02.180
It was longer than my hand. Of course, I had

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:06.599
a small hand. But the light was reflecting through

00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:10.880
a crack in the summer sun through the car and

00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.260
was reflecting off. And it looked like the prism

00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:15.420
filter on Pink Floyd Duck's Side of the Moon,

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:17.139
if you know what that looks like, that prism

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:19.480
thing. And I'm thinking, wow, this is fascinating.

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:21.980
But I feel like I've just been in an accident

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:24.460
at Riverview. Now, for those that don't know,

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.760
Riverview was like a great America. It was a

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.260
Disneyland, if you will. But it all they had

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:32.760
was roller coasters that had notoriously had

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:35.179
accidents where people died. It was eventually

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:37.840
closed because it was too much liability. But

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.840
I thought I was on one of those roller coaster

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.260
rides. and i'm looking at this glass with fascination

00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:45.900
but thinking man i'm really nauseous the belt

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:48.139
was off it looked like it had either snapped

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:51.519
off or broken off and i was laying in a crumpled

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:55.059
ball like this you know upside kind of upside

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:58.599
down uh that part is not as clear but what is

00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.519
clear is i looked through the crack where the

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.920
sun was coming in and i see a head appear there

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.519
a little head of this girl who was the one who

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.800
caused the accident she was fine And traffic

00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.099
had stopped for apparently for miles and she

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:12.659
looked in there and she says, is anybody okay

00:35:12.659 --> 00:35:16.179
in there? I just started laughing to myself.

00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:19.039
I didn't laugh out loud, but I, I don't know

00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:20.679
if I laughed out loud, really. I just know I

00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.519
was, this was really funny. Like, is anybody

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.199
okay in here? Why would a little girl who I couldn't

00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:28.079
have imagined that she was the driver that caused

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.539
the accident, but where does this little girl

00:35:30.539 --> 00:35:33.139
come from? And why is she asking if anybody's

00:35:33.139 --> 00:35:34.500
okay? So I don't say anything. And then I hear

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:38.380
a big deep voice. A little lady stepped to the

00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:41.599
side, please. And a fireman comes in and I can

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:43.860
see basically this part of his face. And he says,

00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.239
is there anybody in there? If you are, please

00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:50.500
call out. And I said, this is Greg and I'm calling

00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:53.619
out and I'm very nauseous. I remember that real

00:35:53.619 --> 00:35:56.579
well. I just remember the feeling of nausea.

00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.300
He said, well, I need to know if anybody else

00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:02.000
in there is hurt or okay. Can you tap anybody

00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.760
and see? I said, well, they're not really moving.

00:36:04.309 --> 00:36:06.230
He said, okay, we're gonna have to cut the car.

00:36:06.230 --> 00:36:10.170
So now keep in mind this was about a Year before

00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:12.110
they had shatter proof glass on cars where they

00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:14.750
put polycarbonate in the glass front from shattering

00:36:14.750 --> 00:36:17.829
So glass just went everywhere and I had the one

00:36:17.829 --> 00:36:20.989
piece and then this was also about three months

00:36:20.989 --> 00:36:25.969
as history tells us before they first used a

00:36:25.969 --> 00:36:30.309
jaws of life to open up a crashed car So they

00:36:30.309 --> 00:36:33.170
would use any kind of crazy tool they power tool

00:36:33.170 --> 00:36:36.710
they could find to chop open a car to get people

00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:41.610
out. Yeah I wanted to just check one quick thing

00:36:41.610 --> 00:36:44.989
for those that weren't alive back then there

00:36:44.989 --> 00:36:47.829
were lap belts in some cars there were no shoulder

00:36:47.829 --> 00:36:50.730
belts and nobody wore them there were no seat

00:36:50.730 --> 00:36:54.380
belt laws nobody wore them. So it was normal

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:57.000
for you to just be playing around back there.

00:36:57.219 --> 00:36:59.900
We used to stand up in the front seat of the

00:36:59.900 --> 00:37:01.860
car. I mean, things like that. It's just how

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:04.800
it was back then. That's right. And parents might

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:06.780
say if they were really ambitious, they might

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:10.340
say, you need to sit on and shut up now. Yeah,

00:37:10.340 --> 00:37:12.440
that'll keep you safe. But he said, you know,

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.840
is there he said, I'm going to need you to cover

00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:19.119
your eyes and it might you might feel some stinging

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.960
from the. the saw, but you need to keep them

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.380
closed and covered. And if anybody else is there,

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:27.579
you need to try to shield them any way you can.

00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:30.699
He said, okay, we're going to use this saw now.

00:37:30.860 --> 00:37:34.159
And then I heard a generator go on. And then

00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.639
I heard a circular saw go on. And then I heard

00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.519
metal crunching and through my hands covered

00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.019
like this, just kind of, you know, peeking a

00:37:43.019 --> 00:37:44.940
couple of times, sparks were flying all over

00:37:44.940 --> 00:37:47.489
the place. And that went on for. As far as I

00:37:47.489 --> 00:37:49.170
can remember, it seems like five to 10 minutes,

00:37:49.190 --> 00:37:52.070
but it was a long time. And then they were able

00:37:52.070 --> 00:37:56.289
to finally crowbar the thing space and get everybody

00:37:56.289 --> 00:37:58.389
out of there. I don't know how they did it. Now,

00:37:59.070 --> 00:38:04.769
a long time later, about a month later, my grandfather

00:38:04.769 --> 00:38:08.710
needed to get his insurance card and his license.

00:38:08.929 --> 00:38:10.389
And he had left it in the, he always had his

00:38:10.389 --> 00:38:11.710
wallet in the glove box. So we had to go to the

00:38:11.710 --> 00:38:13.570
junkyard and get it. So I have a picture of the

00:38:13.570 --> 00:38:17.820
car and it is just trash. They told us there's

00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:20.000
no way anybody's gonna live from this. When we

00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.260
approached the car, we knew everybody in there

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:26.420
was dead. So was your family okay? They all had

00:38:26.420 --> 00:38:29.619
a fractured neck vertebrae, the three of them.

00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:33.920
My sister and my friends. But they lived a normal

00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:37.079
life after that. I just had the glass in my hand.

00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.119
And it stayed there until we got to the hospital.

00:38:39.179 --> 00:38:41.900
They removed it and put in three stitches here.

00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:44.739
It's there today. It's a very clear reminder

00:38:44.739 --> 00:38:47.199
of it. something that is still very clear to

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:50.559
me. So this voice that you heard during various

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:54.059
NDEs, tell me about it. Was it the same voice

00:38:54.059 --> 00:38:56.940
every time and what did it sound like? Well,

00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:59.719
it sounded like how I would describe, you know,

00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:03.360
God or a supreme being or one of his helpers

00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:07.500
or, you know, as a deep voice. Something kind

00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:10.440
of like what my voice has turned into. It's not

00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:13.239
my voice for sure. It's a deeper voice, deeper

00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:18.199
throatier voice. that was somehow soothing, even

00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:21.500
though it started out disciplinary and later

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:24.400
it fluctuated between different assignments,

00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:27.659
if you will. What emotions did it leave you with?

00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:31.420
Well, after that second experience in the car,

00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:34.519
I just received this love for all things. It

00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:38.539
was like endless gratitude. I no longer saw things

00:39:38.539 --> 00:39:41.760
just, you know, there's a car, there's my father,

00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:45.119
there's my neighbor friend, there's my teacher.

00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.260
I just had love for everybody. That and this

00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:50.260
sense of humor, all these gifts, I call them

00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:54.019
gifts, are ways that I live what I think is a

00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:56.760
great life. Years later, I wrote a book called

00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:59.460
Ten Days to Live about a fellow that was not

00:39:59.460 --> 00:40:01.280
supposed to make it more than 10 days because

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.170
he had... three twenty over one ninety hypertension

00:40:04.170 --> 00:40:05.889
when there was no medicine treat the disease

00:40:05.889 --> 00:40:08.389
in forty nine it was endorsed by a guy named

00:40:08.389 --> 00:40:10.530
norman cousins he wrote a book called anatomy

00:40:10.530 --> 00:40:13.570
of an illness that i read years later and became

00:40:13.570 --> 00:40:16.110
familiar with them in the eighties. And he won

00:40:16.110 --> 00:40:19.070
a honorary medical degree from harvard for laughing

00:40:19.070 --> 00:40:23.409
himself well. You left himself well love it so

00:40:23.409 --> 00:40:26.090
that gift and the gift of having endless gratitude.

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:29.860
You know, there's an old saying that if you want

00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:32.280
to be wealthy and prosperous, you have to understand

00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.179
how wealthy and prosperous you are already. So

00:40:35.179 --> 00:40:36.940
you have to be able to take stock and inventory

00:40:36.940 --> 00:40:39.059
of the things in your life that you wanted, liked

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:42.019
and loved that you now have that make your life

00:40:42.019 --> 00:40:45.039
better. And you have to be able to reflect that.

00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.159
And that's what gives you hope. That's what gives

00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:49.980
you desire. That's what gives you the passion

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:53.079
for living. But I say it all comes from the heart,

00:40:53.099 --> 00:40:55.039
which they now know is its own energy center,

00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:59.159
like the mind. The core work of what I received,

00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:03.139
this knowledge on my 12th, talks about a language

00:41:03.139 --> 00:41:06.159
called the positive affirmative language. And

00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:09.059
it says that if everything you say has only the

00:41:09.059 --> 00:41:11.500
positive elements, not the natural counterpart

00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:14.559
negative elements, and if you're thinking those

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.639
things, feeling those things, believing those

00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.150
things, speaking those things, then you can receive

00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:25.030
those things that you want like in love. And

00:41:25.030 --> 00:41:27.969
so it's a whole body of work that becomes its

00:41:27.969 --> 00:41:31.670
own language. And I have to believe that if,

00:41:31.710 --> 00:41:34.449
you know, I'm talking to these experiences to

00:41:34.449 --> 00:41:40.070
God or God's helpers or whatever, that this body

00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:44.340
of wisdom is there and they want people on earth

00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:47.000
today to be able to get that information and

00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:50.360
use it for a better experience at a higher level,

00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:53.500
if you will, without having to learn a bunch

00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:56.400
of stuff. And that's, I think, the core of this

00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:58.179
information that I was receiving. I must have

00:41:58.179 --> 00:42:02.039
been receiving it having gratitude. I once thought

00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:05.760
that my second grade teacher in second grade

00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.380
did not like me, even though I was an A student

00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:11.860
my whole life, having seemingly done no work.

00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:16.199
and just shown up, but still got all great grades.

00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:20.119
She wrote a letter that I found about a year

00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.219
ago when I was visiting with my mom. She had

00:42:22.219 --> 00:42:25.380
saved it from second grade to my parents. And

00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:28.260
it just, it just talks about me in such a way

00:42:28.260 --> 00:42:31.300
that if you were to read it, you would say this

00:42:31.300 --> 00:42:35.340
kid is going places because he has a great attitude

00:42:35.340 --> 00:42:39.599
and he is open and he learns quickly and he's

00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:42.409
helping make everything better. So that's what

00:42:42.409 --> 00:42:46.050
I took from those experiences and it became about,

00:42:46.050 --> 00:42:49.849
you know, at 30, I stopped asking why am I here?

00:42:50.449 --> 00:42:53.769
And I started behaving why I'm here to do good

00:42:53.769 --> 00:42:56.070
things and do good work and to live a good life

00:42:56.070 --> 00:42:59.150
and to help people any way I can. So between

00:42:59.150 --> 00:43:02.909
your books, training, all kinds of other things

00:43:02.909 --> 00:43:05.289
that you've done, I'm going to just let everybody

00:43:05.289 --> 00:43:07.889
know if they want to learn more about that stuff,

00:43:08.590 --> 00:43:11.010
patriotinnercircle .com, and we'll stick that

00:43:11.010 --> 00:43:14.250
down in the show notes too. Leave us with one

00:43:14.250 --> 00:43:17.349
last thought. Why should people have hope today?

00:43:17.989 --> 00:43:20.429
Well, within the Patriot Inner Circle that you

00:43:20.429 --> 00:43:24.389
just mentioned, this is my last effort now before

00:43:24.389 --> 00:43:27.309
final retirement of You know, not living, but

00:43:27.309 --> 00:43:29.829
from just trying to pass this information on

00:43:29.829 --> 00:43:31.849
because it's been working and it's going to work

00:43:31.849 --> 00:43:34.190
better and better. But I wrote a book in there

00:43:34.190 --> 00:43:36.969
in three days, a 400 page book called semantics

00:43:36.969 --> 00:43:40.309
and mechanics. And you can read the first hundred

00:43:40.309 --> 00:43:44.030
pages, I think on Amazon Kindle and you can get

00:43:44.030 --> 00:43:46.429
the first hundred pages along with 12 other.

00:43:46.650 --> 00:43:49.829
gifts of things that are just given away freely

00:43:49.829 --> 00:43:52.409
to everybody. And I would urge anybody that is

00:43:52.409 --> 00:43:54.789
interested, really, if you're genuinely interested,

00:43:55.329 --> 00:43:58.670
just sign up with an email and get the 12 free

00:43:58.670 --> 00:44:01.590
downloads. And Semantics and Mechanics, the book

00:44:01.590 --> 00:44:03.949
I wrote, the latest book I wrote within that

00:44:03.949 --> 00:44:08.389
information, decodes everything down to what

00:44:08.389 --> 00:44:11.820
our systems... You know how are they used to

00:44:11.820 --> 00:44:14.539
keep us believing certain things and how can

00:44:14.539 --> 00:44:18.059
we use our own horsepower our own intelligence

00:44:18.059 --> 00:44:21.539
to get to the center of clarity for ourselves

00:44:21.539 --> 00:44:24.480
and then use that to the greater good of whatever

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.199
it is we want to accomplish in our own contribution

00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.559
to our lives and the lives of those that are

00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.900
close to us so i guess that's that book semantics

00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:36.460
and mechanics is my final piece will be a series

00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:39.789
of those but the first book. It effectively achieves

00:44:39.789 --> 00:44:42.510
and if somebody was to read those three hundred

00:44:42.510 --> 00:44:45.369
pages on kindle around. Patriot inner circle

00:44:45.369 --> 00:44:47.789
at the patriot point of superstore they would

00:44:47.789 --> 00:44:52.269
be able to start to easily decode all what's

00:44:52.269 --> 00:44:54.929
going on around them and have a lot of hope for.

00:44:55.429 --> 00:44:57.889
The things they want to accomplish in life and

00:44:57.889 --> 00:45:01.130
the good they want to do by giving them tools.

00:45:02.110 --> 00:45:05.389
That i guess in closing i could say that i was

00:45:05.389 --> 00:45:09.219
on a show. entrepreneurs on fire about five years

00:45:09.219 --> 00:45:12.920
ago. And he has some very strange questions that

00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.679
I'd never heard. One of the questions is, what

00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.619
do you say to people that say, well, I didn't

00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:19.679
have this background or I didn't have that background.

00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:22.099
And this sort of thing really applies here and

00:45:22.099 --> 00:45:25.000
maybe some meaningful way to close this. And

00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.880
that is that I said, you know, people aren't

00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.460
the reason they're not successful. I think has

00:45:32.460 --> 00:45:36.000
very little to do with. Having a lot of challenges

00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.460
to overcome because although i've had a lot of

00:45:38.460 --> 00:45:41.139
challenges that's part of my journey most people.

00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:44.219
Don't have an anecdotal story you know they don't

00:45:44.219 --> 00:45:47.579
have a lot of challenges that get them. To overcome

00:45:47.579 --> 00:45:49.539
and overcome and overcome and so finally they

00:45:49.539 --> 00:45:52.019
just rise above and now they're selling that

00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:56.469
whole idea other people. I believe that the reason

00:45:56.469 --> 00:45:58.710
is, is that most people that have these challenges

00:45:58.710 --> 00:46:00.829
in life don't really overcome their challenges.

00:46:01.289 --> 00:46:03.230
They pass them on from generation to generation

00:46:03.230 --> 00:46:04.909
after saying, I won't be like my parents, or

00:46:04.909 --> 00:46:07.250
I won't make those mistakes. They tend to do

00:46:07.250 --> 00:46:10.090
much the same things, but in much the same place.

00:46:10.449 --> 00:46:12.809
And the exceptions are just at the exceptions.

00:46:13.090 --> 00:46:16.010
I think the missing element is the decoding of

00:46:16.010 --> 00:46:18.389
all information. How do things really work? The

00:46:18.389 --> 00:46:22.329
awareness and clarity to understand the... situations

00:46:22.329 --> 00:46:25.110
and the chaoses you're revolving in and have

00:46:25.110 --> 00:46:27.610
the hope but have the tools, most importantly,

00:46:27.989 --> 00:46:31.550
to rise above and project through it and do real

00:46:31.550 --> 00:46:33.849
good for yourself that you can see, as we said

00:46:33.849 --> 00:46:36.050
in one of the advertisements, there's no learning

00:46:36.050 --> 00:46:38.829
curve, just watch and listen. So in Semantics

00:46:38.829 --> 00:46:42.949
and Mechanics, my closing opus, it shows how

00:46:42.949 --> 00:46:45.809
things are worded to create chaos, to create

00:46:45.809 --> 00:46:48.929
difficulty, to create struggle for most people.

00:46:49.190 --> 00:46:52.539
And this decodes all that. so that the mechanics

00:46:52.539 --> 00:46:55.840
can be not the mechanics you live by, you can

00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.639
make your own mechanics. And the real power of

00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.699
a person is the realization that they have the

00:47:01.699 --> 00:47:04.159
power within themself. That's what wakes the

00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.280
whole thing up. Most of my information, you would

00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:08.719
hear it, you would say, well, gee, I already

00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:11.440
know that to be true, or, you know, boy, that's

00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:13.920
a great point. I've often thought that way. But

00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.860
now that you put it in those words, it's very

00:47:16.860 --> 00:47:20.190
easy to succeed. And in those words now, I can

00:47:20.190 --> 00:47:22.449
actually take it into my life and do something

00:47:22.449 --> 00:47:24.989
with it. Otherwise, why is it worth something,

00:47:24.989 --> 00:47:27.409
right? Yeah, it's great when we have those kinds

00:47:27.409 --> 00:47:29.570
of things happen. It's sort of those light bulb

00:47:29.570 --> 00:47:33.050
on moments. I think there's so much that we already

00:47:33.050 --> 00:47:35.630
know, but it doesn't come to the surface often

00:47:35.630 --> 00:47:38.349
enough. And you're helping some of that happen.

00:47:38.750 --> 00:47:41.389
Anyway, Greg, I've got to let you go. Thank you

00:47:41.389 --> 00:47:44.050
so much for your time and all your insights today.

00:47:44.309 --> 00:47:46.750
